Christina Milian is one half of Rap-Up’s double magazine cover, T.I. is the other half. It is also the first cover she’s done since parting ways with Island Def Jam in 2006.
The 27-year-old singer broke her silence to Rap-Up and talked about the emotional roller coaster ride she’s been on these past two years. She talks about her reaction to ex-boyfriend Nick Cannon’s marriage to Mariah Carey, and her brand new album on MySpace Records.
On how crushed she was after being dropped from her label:
“It was embarrassing. It was a week after my album [So Amazin’] got put out. I would be in my room a lot of the time crying by myself.”
On the reason she feels as to why she was dropped:
“It was a budget cut, I believe. [Def Jam] probably got rid of projects like mine to spend the money on [Rihanna].”
On who she credits with her getting back into music:
“I bumped into Janet Jackson at a club. We talked for an hour and I was telling her I don’t know if I’m gonna do this, and she was like, ‘Girl, do not let them stop you. I’m a fan and you make good music.’ She’s a person I actually looked up to growing up, so her telling me that really was the day I was like, ‘I’m not gonna let these people
hold me down. It’s time.’”
On learning about ex-boyfriend Nick Cannon’s marriage to Mariah Carey:
“I was surprised like everyone else. I was like, ‘Really?’ It just seemed like a weird match, but I was happy for him. I always feel Nick works hard to get what he wants, whether that be women—that’s how he got me.”

Here is an interesting lil picture of the two lovebirds in Ocean City, Maryland this weekend. No sense denying they are closerthanthis any longer… she has to be into him to be squeezing his zit! How sad for them that they don’t have any privacy during such an intimate moment.
Chris recently told a WENN reporter:
“Nobody wants to focus on what’s positive, they want to know about my personal life. Every interview I do, they’re like, ‘So, how are you and such and such doing?’ And I’m like, I don’t know you, why you all in my business? So that’s my take on it personally.”
This picture says it all. No need for anyone to ask him or her anymore!
