We talked to iLoveMakonnen5D about the cold response he got from his industry peers after coming out, and his friendship with Lil Peep: 'He was one of the artists who reached out to me and was like, 'I love you. I'm a big fan always.''
In 2017, Atlanta-based artist iLoveMakonnen had already experienced exhilarating career highs and disappointing lows. Drake had hopped on a remix of his viral hit"Tuesday," and then signed him to his OVO Sound label in 2014. Hits like"I Don't Sell Molly No More" and"Look at Wrist" on his first album, I Love Makonnen, put him on track to be the next best thing in rap.
Yeah, definitely. My mom was always showing me artists from the '70s and the '80s and a lot of costumes, and just the theatrics of arts and stuff.

Kat's isn't the most violent or necessarily the saddest story line in the episode. But it showed the ways that issues like consent, toxic masculinity, substance abuse, and body image—all of which are difficult to deal with no matter what your size—are further magnified when experienced through the additional trauma of fatphobia.
"Almost all of those speeches are based on a real speech Andrew and I have seen," Chan said."We'd go to a wedding and [we'd think], Yep, that's going in there." Cardi B twerked so hard during a performance that she ripped her outfit and had to rock a bathrobe for the majority of her set. The brand's sizes now go up to 24 and 2X—quite a jump from its previous availability, which went up to a size 14. Co-founders Reshma Chamberlin and Lori Coulter told NYLON that the size expansion was a must because"we know that there are countless women out there who are missing out on the joy of summer because they don't have the right suit.
As someone who is lucky enough to have the opportunity to travel often for work, there are obvious perks—like, getting to explore the world! However, if there's one downside, it's the toll that it takes on my skin.
