weeks ago, Chris Brown didn’t exactly f**k with VIBE. In December 2009, the magazine and the then-troubled singer were both staged for their respective comebacks, but the joint return of music’s prodigal son and hip-hop’s prodigal publication was not one of glory. Unwillingly forced to don the inquiry “R U STILL DOWN?” on his black t-shirt, and forcibly pinned against his split cover with Drake, who was adversely labeled “Unstoppable,” Brown felt betrayed. One month after its release, the singer expressed his displeasure with the lead image and story, claiming that its concept was not the one agreed upon. “I appreciate any cover,”he said then. “I just don’t appreciate them using my situation.” It was the last time the two collaborated–until today.
Drake isn’t the only hip-hop cash king hitting his friends off with bands for the holidays. Puff Daddy recently gave French Montana a hefty Christmas bonus. Bestowing a one million dollar bonus onto his Bad Boy signee, the wealthy rap mogul’s generosity was the gift that kept on giving. After thanking his boss for the check, French donated the lump sum to charity, TMZ reports.
