So Vibe did an exclusive interview with Matt Barnes and Gloria Govan about their wedding cancellation. Get this:

Why did you decide to postpone it?
Gloria: Matt and I feel like marriage is something that should not be rushed into. It wasn’t any outside party. We’re committed and dedicated to working on our relationship and we’re still together but again, we felt like this wasn’t something that was in our hearts at the time. Marriage is something that is definitely our goal but again, we’re not rushing into something that we just feel like isn’t right for us at the time so we’re just taking the time to work on our family.

*blink blink*

Oh but Gloria, I thought your marraige was perfect. Matt was supposed to make you different than those “Basketball Groupies”??

More quotes after the break…

What’s your response to the rumors about your break up and alleged infidelity?
Matt: That’s something we set ourselves up for. We opened our family life up to the world, doing this TV show and we’ve always seen it from afar with celebrities going through their stuff and troubles where everything is well documented. And I know from being in professional sports for a while that a lot you see and hear is not true. Gloria heard everything—just crazy stuff—but we know what’s going on and our family knows what’s going on so that’s what’s most important.

Matt, you took to twitter to air out your grievances about the women on Basketball Wives. Elaborate on what set you off.
Matt: I just think their focus and their attention could have been in a different direction considering that me and Gloria and Eric [Williams] and Jennifer were the only couples on the show. And I think the whole thing with Shaq and Gloria’s sister kind of went south and kind of dropped while the show was on and I just feel like Shaunie tried to flip the script and blame Gloria, when Gloria had nothing to do with it. And then the rest of those girls—Evelyn and all those other girls—want to tell their sob stories and air their dirty laundry to the world and just because as a couple we choose not to do that doesn’t make us no better or no worse than anybody else. We just decided to keep what’s personal between us in our household and I think that’s how every family should treat it. If you saw the other women on the show acting a mess crying and telling their story, then that’s well within their rights but I just didn’t like how they tried to attack myself and Gloria—poke holes and dig up dirt—that’s really none of their business.

While they both make valid points in their defense of their decision not to get married. It’s called the price of fame. They are right, they set theirselves up for the public to be in their business. Meaning, Matt shouldn’t have been poking chicks and taking pictures knowing he was going on this show. Also, there is a difference between being a private couple and trying to be the perfect couple, which is what they protrayed. They need to learn that difference. After all of the catty *ish Matt pulled on twitter, to act like they didn’t want to “rush into a marriage” is a joke. So rightfully, we all have jokes!

Nah… y’all just thought your shit didn’t stink until you smelled it in your sleep.
But hey “that’s whassup!!!”

Read the rest over at Vibe.

The Game came through V103 in Atlanta and DJ Infamous had a quick talk with him. Game discusses his growth, the Red Album, the explosion of the Bloods, which new artists he likes, and more. I have interviewed and worked with Game since he 1st jumped on the scene, and the GROWTH and MATURITY in the way he is talking is impressive. Good to see
