VIBE contributor Lola Ogunnaike revealed:
“He was slated to appear on the cover of VIBE magazine to accompany this story [The Dark Side of Aubrey Graham]. But he fouled that up when he arrived more than eight hours late to the shoot and refused to wear any of the wardrobe provided for him.â€
“He brought his own clothes, which was mostly Hemès and leather bomber jackets,†revealed a source at the shoot. “But it was a shoot about spring fashion. He was going on and on about wearing his leather bomber, and wasn’t letting it go. He said the [female] stylist was too aggressive, that he wasn’t a model and he wasn’t feeling the vibe. He hopped in his SUV and left.â€
Do you think Drake had a good reason to walk out n the shoot? One man’s loss is another man’s gain…or in this case – woman! Nicki Minaj ended up scoring the cover (above) instead.
So, the below news is from AllHipHop’s Rumor section, so when I spotted it, I looked at it as just that: a rumor. So I recently spotted a more detailed editorial from Necole Bitchie on the matter which appears to show some truth to it (as well as her very dope take on the whole situation):
Rumor has it Drake was supposed to be on the cover of the February issue of VIBE , but he came to the set eight hours late and refused to cooperate with the styling for the issue.
