It finally dawned on me that the acquisition of VIBE Magazine and related personnel shifts has again heightened the competitive aspects of the no-doubt complicated lives of one of ProHipHop’s favorite Hip Hop Power Couples, Danyel Smith and Elliott Wilson!
Danyel Smith, newly appointed VIBE Editor-In-Chief, and Elliott Wilson, XXL Editor-In-Chief, at their June 2005 wedding.
Update: Jay Smooth takes a look at their master plan.
On a serious note, Rafat Ali stated last week:
The hope now is to extend Vibe across multiple platforms.
Now we’re gonna see if this marriage will really last now…
I’m sure this development will only deepen their already deep bonds and bring more joy and goodness throughout the land!
Ouch. There will definitely be tough times ahead for these two professionally … hopefully they’ll be be able to separate their professional lives from the personal.
