Fantasia is furiously upset with Jet Magazine and now demands a public apology from the magazine. The beef reportedly stems from the Jet’s new March issue cover which features an old picture of the singer rather than a current picture. Jet Magazine stands behind their truth stating that they did indeed use an older picture of the Fantasia; citing that they wanted to present Fantasia signature look in which Fantasia fans would both recognize and be drawn to.
Well, Fantasia could care less of their opinion. Taking to social media, Fantasia uploaded the same cover picture from the mag and wrote the words “false” three times in a row. Rather than hash out her differences with Jet in person Fanstasia made the following public announcement:
“This saddens Me!!! It is clear that this picture is 10 Years Old and JET Magazine puts it on the Cover!! After I send them the NEW LOOK AND DIRECTION. . SAD!!! I WANT A PUBLIC APOLOGY FROM JET.
“Now im not sure if the interview is correct. SEE!! America they and use me as they crash Dummy BUT NO MORE. IF I DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING ILL FALL FOR ANYTHING.”
Following the public mayhem of the story. Jet Magazine issued a response statement. Here’s what Jet magazine had to say.
” Our goal was not to EMBARASS Fantasia. Our goal was to show Fantasia in the most positive light possible. Yes it is an older picture but we were looking for a cover photo of fantasia that people can root for.
“After looking at the images Fantasia’s publicist provided we didn’t feel it fit the image of the cover story. It’s disappointing she went about it this way. “
Here’s the photos that Fantasia’s publicist sent over to Jet magazine
Not sure if these two will be able to sit down and reach an amicable resolution some day but clearly, no one is apologizing at this time.
