Danyel Smith hates Asher Roth? Shocker!
Elliott Wilson's wife Danyel Smith, the editor in chief of Vibe, is well known in journalism circles for being virulently racist. A few years ago, when she became EIC at Vibe, she took my boo Christina Aguilera off the cover of that month's issue in favor of Bobby Brown, of all people. It was obvious race was the issue. Bobby Brown hasn't had an album out since what, like '93? Then a few years later, it was revealed that she told Robin Thicke he couldn't be on the cover, because he's white.
As she mentions in the clip below, most of the people who work for Vibe are cracka-ass crackas, but that's just because someone's gotta write that shit, and the black community tends to be filled with people who aren't journalists, you fat fuck. Also, Eminem is on the cover of the new issue, but that's because Vibe isn't in a state where they can afford to replace him with the 40 year-old Rodney Allen Rippy, or whoever it is she would have preferred.
