For Fantasia, when Jet reused an old photo of the singer for a recent cover (pictured), it was a travesty. Though Ebony/Jet apologized, she couldn’t let it go.
“It wasn’t for anyone but me. I worked so hard to get to where I am now. And I don’t want to take it back, I want to move forward,” Fantasia told Power 99 in Philadelphia.
She continued, “It was almost like using me as the clown act. I’m not that girl anymore. So I just wanted them to know, don’t take it back 10 years, when I’ve worked so hard and did a shoot for 10 hours, to show the new look with the new music, that’s all.”
She’s had her say and given the magazine a piece of her mind. She’s forgiven the magazine and wouldn’t mind doing an interview with them again in the future.
But then there is the issue of that ”off-color” remark made by Jet‘s Editor-In-Chief online, about having to write an apology for someone who “can’t even read.”
To this, Fantasia seems to offer a very cryptic message. “…I wasn’t saying I couldn’t read, but, I hate to read. But that has changed for me now, because one thing I do read is my contracts. Because I will not allow anybody to mess me up.”
