Vibe Responds To Robin Thicke...



Recently, Vibe issued a statement to Robin Thicke regarding his comments about not being on the cover of the magazine because he is white. They stated:

“We have a great deal of respect for Robin Thicke and his music, and we remain flattered by his desire to be on a VIBE cover. A VIBE cover is a huge milestone in any artist’s career—recent cover stars include Young Jeezy, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Usher, Senator Barack Obama, Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Robert De Niro, to say nothing of our 15-year history. We wish Thicke the best, and we’re glad he discusses his thoughts on race and R&B in the new October 2008 issue of VIBE.”
So it seems that basically he wasn't on the cover because they did not want to and he is not big enough. Try a little bit harder Robin and they just may grant you your wishes. Haha! Robin is an amazing artist and I respect him for trying to bring that feel good music back, but if Robert De Niro and Eminem have been on the cover then there is no race card at play. Even Gwen Stefani has graced the Vibe cover before....
