Though he once dated Joe Budden‘s current girlfriend Tahiry, New York rapper Fabolous has no ill feelings towards the current King magazine cover girl.

Fabolous told SOHH that he’s happy that Tahiry scored her first magazine cover.

“I definitely think it was big for her being that she’s never been on the cover of anything. I think that’s kind of an accomplishment to say the least,” he said. “She’s not a model. She’s just Joe Budden’s girlfriend and she ended up being on King mag. It’s just congratulations really.  The stupid rapper right here would’ve said something else, that would’ve got another blog made back at me but it’s congratulations. I’m happy for her.”

King Magazine

Urban lifestyle publication King Magazine will be shutting its doors and will be releasing its final issue as a result of the current economic crisis.

The popular men’s magazine is known for featuring a variety of urban entertainers and video vixens.

KING is a bimonthly magazine of pure adrenaline that brings you the best of everything that is your lifestyle. We hit you with sexy women, fast cars, sports, real money and mad music. We bring you gadgets and games the hottest styles to wear and take you to exotic places worthy of a KING’s presence. (Magazine Agent)

Rumors of the publication’s end began to spread earlier this week.

We don’t often post rumors, despite the number of them that cross our desks daily (many of which end up being true). I felt like posting this one though. We just got word that KING Magazine (aka Butts and Rims) is closing shop, not even releasing it’s next issue. In this strained economy, the already dying print format is suffering big time. It is upsetting to hear of people losing jobs, but can this be considered a victory for women (in particular black women) who struggle against objectification at every turn? I have to admit, I enjoy the images, but I know it can’t really be good for raising the standards of our society. What do you think? (Okay Player)
