Blu Cantrell Will Do The Playboy Thang AGAIN!

R&B diva Blu Cantrell is baring her all again - but this time with class. Cantrell, who got in trouble for appearing in a raunchy "Black Tail" spread while struggling to break into the music business, is going to be Playboy's covergirl for the August issue. A source close to the deal tells PAGE SIX the magazine shelled out "nearly $1 million" for the diva to pose and that she's "showing everything."

-->I'm not judging the sistah at all cuz at the end of the day she's a GROWN ass woman who get her OWN reasons, but can somebody PLEASE tell me why is she doing this?? I don't understand this, I really liked her alot, its rare 2 find a powerful vocalist like that homegirl but after I heard about the nude thang in S2S magazine I was SHOCKED 2 say the least.

Did she had to do this? Did she reveals the reason why? Somebody please tell me something

She should do another Black Tail spread instead of Playboy, but I'm sure Heffner's offering much more moola than BT ever could!

Its confirmed:

(4/15/03, 3 p.m. ET) -- R&B singer Blu Cantrell is scheduled to appear on the July cover of Playboy magazine, a spokesperson for her record label Arista Records confirmed.

The singer was reportedly paid close to $1 million to pose nude for the magazine, according to the gossip column Page Six.

In October of 2001, a nude photo spread Cantrell did for Black Tail magazine in the mid '90s began surfacing on the Internet.

At the time the singer told the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, "It's a closed book to me. I know people are talking about it. I'm not surprised...but I don't care. I'm not ashamed of nudity. I did it a long time ago when I needed to pay my bills. Actually, I'm proud of it. I'll sign one (of the pictures) if they want me to. I've even caught friends looking, business associates looking at me on the Internet. And I'm fine with it. I did it so long ago. Now it's about singing and the album. I don't have any regrets."

Late last year, Cantrell released a new single, "Breathe," which was produced by Dr. Dre from her forthcoming sophomore set, Bitter Sweet.

Cantrell's 2001 debut, So Blu, was certified gold for sales of 500,000.

Looks like she needs to pay more bills.
I'm surprised Playboy is giving her the cover and a $1 mil when she's not a very successful singer.

From her official site:

Not only does Blu Cantrell possess that unmistakable voice and jaw-dropping good looks, but her newest hit single "Breathe" is also backed by that classic Dr. Dre production and a hot new Hype Williams video


Let's see, Dre's "classic" production and a "hot" Hype Williams video. Can you say "hit chasing"? I can just see the powers that be sitting around the table. "How can we get Blu a hit? I know let's use Dre's classic production and then have Hype Williams do a hot video." That right there sums up what I hate about today's R&B
