Robin Thicke “Too White” for Vibe Magazine Cover

August 29, 2008 by admin 


Robin Thicke recently revealed in Billboard magazine that he was denied the cover of Vibe magazine because he is too white.

Even though the R&B soul singer has worked with many black artists and lives with a black woman, Vibe still turned him down because they have a policy against having “white” artists on the cover. In fact, the only white artist to ever grace the cover of Vibe was Eminem.

Robin said, “If there’s one magazine that I’d want to be on the cover of, it’s Vibe” and goes on to say that he doesn’t think it was racism.

“You can’t always expect people to be as color-blind or open-minded as you want. What you can do is keep giving your heart and soul, like Bob Marley did. His music became so overwhelmingly loving; it was a relentless love in a sense. Keep beating them down with love and they can’t stop you.” Robin added.

Robin Thicke’s “Something Else” album is due for release on September 30th.
