Esther Baxter On Joe Budden

Joe Budden seems to be racking up better ex-girlfriends. Following another of Budden's former lovers, model Tahiry, appearing on the cover of KING magazine, Budden's most recent ex, the voluptuous Esther Baxter, is now on the cover of the men's magazine. And she wasn't afraid to discuss Budden.

She didn't hesitate to take a few subtle shots at the rapper, either.

“With me, I had no idea who he was, what he did, or any of his music,” Esther told KING. "I thought Swizz Beatz did that song ['Pump It Up'.]"

"I didn’t know anything about his past," she added. "And I judged him by who he was and who he presented himself to me."

Joe Budden's ex's stay throwing salt on dude--Somaya Reece said she didn't know who he was, either. Suuuuuure, girls.

Cover King Magazine Amber Rose + Speaks Out About Kanye West And Wiz Khalifa

King Magazine gives it’s fans a “Royal Peek” at Amber Rose in their July/August Cover Story that hits newsstands on May 31st. Inside, she chops it up about the public’s misconceptions of her and how her current relationship with Wiz Khalifa compares to her prior relationship with Kanye West. Check out a few highlights after the jump:

What’s the difference between this relationship with Wiz and your last with Kanye?
The thing of it is…how can I say this without sounding crazy or mean? I’m sorry.

No need to apologize, the floor is yours.
There’s no comparison in personalities. You know when people say how do you go from Kanye to Wiz Khalifa, that’s a downgrade. But the only question I can ask them is: have you ever dated Kanye? Because I have, and believe me, I did not downgrade at all. Not in any aspect, at all.

What do you think is the perception of Amber Rose?
I spoke to people, asking why do I constantly get ridiculed. Is it because I was a stripper?

Well that doesn’t help that perception much.
But they said, “No, people don’t care about that, it’s that they think that you’re with all these men, when you’re not.” I’m only taking that from certain people that I spoke to. Maybe it’s that too, or that I’m very comfortable with my body. I can be topless on Miami Beach, that doesn’t make me a whore. That’s an everyday thing on Miami Beach. It’s just such a big deal because I’m in the public eye

Mashonda's Bounced Back

Mashonda is enjoying her resurgence on the hit show "Love & Hip Hop." The former Mrs. Swizz Beatz had become a poster child for scorned women following her ex's stepping out with, and subsequent marriage to, Alicia Keys; but now Mashonda feels that she's a role model for women looking to rebuild their lives following a painful breakup.

"At the time that we shot [the show,] I was in a great place, so that’s what made the difference," Mashonda tells KING. "I felt like that was my therapy, and that’s all I wanted to do. Anytime I’d log in to Facebook or Twitter, there would be tons of women reaching out to me, thanking me for sharing my story. Those messages gave me a lot of strength, a lot of courage. From that point on, I just wanted to help women."

When asked her ever-growing fanbase of male 'groupies,' the sexy singer sets the record straight.

"I show everybody love," she says. "But I don’t like the word “groupie”-—it’s so harsh. I don’t feel there’s anything wrong with one person admiring another person."

Swizzy sure knows how to pick ‘em. Anyway, his ex-wife Mashonda covers KING’s May/June 2011 issue. Below is a excerpt of how the singer handles her many admirers. Video after the jump.

How are you going to handle all the groupies that are sure to be coming your way?
You mean the groupie boys?

Or groupie girls. You never know.
Yeah, you never know. I mean, they all love me.

After they see this spread, they’ll love you more. Word to Angela Winbush.
[Laughs] Oh, Lord, you know what, I show everybody love. But I don’t like the word “groupie”—it’s so harsh. I don’t feel there’s anything wrong with one person admiring another person.

Who is admiring you nowadays? Have you’ve been hitting the dating scene lately?
I have. I recently went on a date, and it was incredible.

Sounds like homeboy is getting a call back.
Yeah, definitely.
