Fantasia is in the pages of the upcoming UPSCALE magazine. And she’s talking about her premiere of “Fantasia”, her new reality show, on VH-1 in January. In the upscale interview (all photos by Derek Blanks), she talks about her relationships with her daughter, her mom, her dad (who filed suit against her) and with rapper Young Dro.
By the way, our sources at the shoot say her man Antwaun Cook–who she “has never met”– was INDEED on the set with her. Womp womp.
Despite her latest antics, we can still say her pics are cute though. Snippets from her interview when you read the rest…
On her relationship with Young Dro: I could not deal with the women. It was a problem. A big problem. I am only 25 years old, but I am too old for that. And her dad: I only go by Fantasia, and not Barrino. [He] wanted his last name. He felt like I portrayed him like a bad person in the movie even though I really made him look like an angel. Oh the irony if that Young Dro snippet….

Wed, November 25, 2009 5:12 PM
First finaly!!

Wed, November 25, 2009 5:13 PM
She looks beautiful…if she could keep this look up and get rid of those nasty tatoos
Wed, November 25, 2009 5:13 PM
Oh man, I am just not sure what to think of these antics, they are so not Fantasia, but then again, it is what is.
Nice shoot.
Wed, November 25, 2009 5:14 PM

Wed, November 25, 2009 5:21 PM

Wed, November 25, 2009 5:23 PM
Homewreckin’ ain’t upscale
Wed, November 25, 2009 5:28 PM
Cute pics…smh, women GO FOR AVAILABLE GUYS. But I am pretty confident that you can’t break a happy home…
Wed, November 25, 2009 5:29 PM
Fantasia looks good in these new photos. I have been a fan of hers since the beginning. Now I want to stick by my girl but all the proof is pointing towards the fact that her story if fraudlant. I’m hoping for the sake of everything perhaps she didn’t know and when she did she ended it. But we all no what Angie said about Brad before they came out with the truth.
Wed, November 25, 2009 5:41 PM
AND UPSCALE ya Say??? – a post revealed yesterday that she is a Chicken Head
Wed, November 25, 2009 5:43 PM
AMEN!!!!!!!!!
Wed, November 25, 2009 5:43 PM
I BET A MILLION BUCKS TYRA,WENDY OR WHOEVER ELSE WOULD ASK
FANTASIA ABOUT HER WRONG DOING BUT WOULD’NT DARE COME CLOSE
TO ASKING ALICIA IM SO DEEP KEYS ABOUT ANYTHING THAT COMES
CLOSE TO THAT TOPIC. NOT SAYING THAT TASIA WAS RIGHT IN ANY WAY. I’M JUST SAYING
Wed, November 25, 2009 5:57 PM
The photos do look nice, however there was a whole lot of airbrushing going on.
Wed, November 25, 2009 6:04 PM
The photos are gorgeous . . . I’m mad her dad . . . how in the hell are you going to ask your child for your last name back . . . WTF . . . he sounds like IKE . . . SMDH . . . she didn’t ask you for that name . . . I’m sure if she could . . . she would though . . . I mean seriously . . . she is known as Fantasia . . . come on parents . . .
Wed, November 25, 2009 6:04 PM
she looks fantastic, too bad she dont know what the hell shes talking about,smh
Wed, November 25, 2009 6:16 PM
Funny how ybf can keep taking about the tomfoolery that fannie has created, but could not talk about the foolery that was that whoever Velez post that had nearly 900 comments!!!! It was all foolery and ybf never answered the question they are asking fannie and that is….just why??????
Wed, November 25, 2009 6:32 PM
I still love Fannie…she may be a liar (a bad one) but her personal life is her personal life! Homewrecker or not (which i am not condoning), her and Ms. Keys don’t owe us any explanation for their actions, just those who are involved and God…Done!
Wed, November 25, 2009 6:39 PM
There is nothing upscale about this chicken-
she had the nerve to say she would only date someone in her payscale and up? Get off that White Horse Front-tasia. You’d get at any warm body that showed you some attention.
Wed, November 25, 2009 6:46 PM
Fantasia looks really beautiful. To the hater who made the comment about air brushing, the whole industry (in pictures) are brushed ask Tyra she’ll tell you and SO WHAT!!! Can Fantasia have one moment when she is not being raked over the coals? I mean is that possible? Can we just be supportive and encouraging instead of degrading and vulgar towards her? I mean really. Honestly. Don’t some of ya’ll get tired? Cut her some slack. Even the owner of this site. To post the pictures and keep it moving would have been too much I guess. Had to throw a stone. Thanks for being part of the mob. She is not the only one making mistakes. Her’s are simply out in the open. Mother Teresa she is not. Stop throwing stones it’s mean spirited and unnecessary. Black folks crack me up. Support each for goodness sake.
Wed, November 25, 2009 6:47 PM
Im sorry but the cover pic and the other one in white w/ the fur look tacky–flashback to Dwight’s inspired She by Sheree fashion show.
All the rest are completely Fab tho. Good for her. get your reality show on girl!
Wed, November 25, 2009 6:59 PM
sometimes a lil “airbrushing” goes a long way! I do believe Derek Blanks can work miracles!..
Wed, November 25, 2009 7:34 PM
she should’ve took the route ms. keys took instead of lying to get some buzz for her show
Wed, November 25, 2009 7:56 PM
PHOTO SHOP IT’S BEST. :(
Wed, November 25, 2009 7:59 PM
NOT A GOOD ROLE MODEL FOR HER DAUGHTER.:/
Wed, November 25, 2009 8:27 PM
These are really nice pictures of her. The one in the blue and the black dress are my favorites.
I’m ready for some new music from Fantasia.
Wed, November 25, 2009 8:44 PM
DAMN Tasia that aint like you to just try to pull the wool ova folks eyes. LOVE the photos tho. your dad a hot mess, he ought to be ashamed and put away. she doesnt have to come clean about her relationship, just leave the man alone or something errone knows that you knew he was married and that aint right.
Wed, November 25, 2009 9:18 PM
Nice pics and people need to leave her alone about the cook dude especially since everybody gave alicia keys a pass.
Wed, November 25, 2009 9:29 PM
She remines me of D.Ross in Lady sing the blue in the first
picture I could see her playing the part. Fantasia always was beautiful, this just prove me right. I can’t wait for her show and CD. Don’t worry about the haters, I do believe that haters only do that because they are un-happy with themselves. So girl I will be buying and watching with your name on it. Just beautiful and you don’t have to show your body to prove that you are beautiful.
Wed, November 25, 2009 9:36 PM
These picture are just to hot, Fantasia you are looking Fab.
I can’t wait for the CD and your show hope you will be doing the color purple movie. Hot, Hot, Hot.
Wed, November 25, 2009 9:59 PM
I am just trying to understand why some women put all the blame on the “other” woman. I’m not saying that the mistress is not at fault here but have we forgotten that the husband was also involved in this little affair. The other woman is not obligated to keep your husband obligated to you,that is his job,yet when he cheats we automatically go to blame the other woman and tear her down,yes she is at fault but she is not the only one to blame.
That being said I’ll never date a man who is married or says that he’s separated.
Wed, November 25, 2009 10:00 PM
and this is the best that I’ve seen Fantasia look…she’s a good looking woman, she just does not always make the right fashion choices.
Wed, November 25, 2009 10:07 PM
Fantasia looks beautiful-despite being a homewrecker.
Wed, November 25, 2009 10:49 PM
the pictures look wonderful n leave her daughter out her daughter smart enough to know right from right i dont think photoshop was used a lot for this
Wed, November 25, 2009 10:53 PM
I think shes so damn ugly…And now shes a hoe to its over for her…Go check out my fiance Myspace.com/newmoneykliq
Wed, November 25, 2009 11:02 PM
Hw do you go from nearly cursing this Fantasia out this morning to posting her “upscale” pics?! Damn… Im confused! This is more drama than a little bit!!! smh lol
She looks alright but I wouldnt call it upscale! You cant think by putting on some makeup and some expensive clothes that we cant tell you are still a hoodrat!!! Good try though Fannie
Wed, November 25, 2009 11:03 PM
Fantasia looks lovely you go girl you are very pretty!
Wed, November 25, 2009 11:05 PM
Some people are so damn hateful, if you don’t like the photo or Fantasia then exit>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
.
Wed, November 25, 2009 11:35 PM
Love the hair cut she looks great.Clean. Nice.I have a gray dress like that the blue one is that wool?
Wed, November 25, 2009 11:37 PM
i mean right from wrong
Thu, November 26, 2009 12:04 AM
I defintely agree with this statement!
Thu, November 26, 2009 12:08 AM
I agree…while most of these pictures,(clothes, makeup, etc) make Fannie look great…some of her body looks a little photo shopped to me!
Thu, November 26, 2009 12:40 AM
These pictures are not photoshopped or airbrushed that much if any. She’s lost hella weight. She’s fully clothed so you can’t see them tacky tattoos. They used make up to cover up more tattoos that may show through clothes which you can tell in the last picture by the glow on her chest. What else is left? The makeup looks good on her.
I see YBF changed the second paragraph wording from saying “our UPSCALE sources” to “our sources” so WOMP WOMP back at ya (smh)!
Thu, November 26, 2009 12:53 AM
fab!…. she looks like angie stone in the first pic.
Thu, November 26, 2009 12:56 AM
i really hate that when ppl call someone ugly and they aint nothing to look at or when you at tha person they called ugly they aint ugly and you might have seen worse
Thu, November 26, 2009 2:04 AM
THESE PICS ARE CUTE BUT ITS ALOT OF AIRBRUSHING GOING ON EVERYBODY NO FANTASIA IS TACKY AND GHETTO
Thu, November 26, 2009 2:17 AM
If all else fails, dress up and take photoshoots, while lying about “NOT” fucking a married man!!! I liked you Fantasia. Get it together will ya. This is the type of dumb shit that people are expecting you to do, and you’re giving them what they want. Besides, how the hell you gone lie when that big ass MURAL” of the dude’s name painted on yo ass!!!! I mean really Fantasia!! I don’t think this shocks a lot of people, but on the other hand, it’s not fair of them to just blast yo ass, and ignore what the fuck that hoe bag Alicia did, and is still doing. Now when she did it, people were probably shocked, cause her fake ass always walking around with her rotten ass fist up, pretending to be so righteous, and so black, and then all of a sudden, low and behold, this bitch fucking around with somebody’s husband!! A black woman’s husband at that!! These the type of fake ass bitches you have to look out for! She ain’t real yall, she ain’t reallllllllllll!!!
Thu, November 26, 2009 3:07 AM
Derek Blanks can make anybody look good. A low budget bitch doing a shoot for Upscale, HA!
Thu, November 26, 2009 3:12 AM
Girl bye cause Alicia did NOT get a pass. People stay trashing her since they found out she was fucking Swizzy, a married man! So Fantasia’s groupie ass will most definitely get put on blast. I’m not surprised at the story though… chicks with low self esteem who make anthems about being a baby mama usually take it how they can get it.
Thu, November 26, 2009 3:49 AM
She’s actually been looking great for a while now..it’s called losing weight AND changing one’s style;)
At the Soul Train Awards earlier this month..
Thu, November 26, 2009 3:55 AM
rated x,
Shut your photoshop picture azz down some where. Fantasia has been and proformed in front of people your whore azz will never have the chance too. Jealous azz trick.
Calling a women that you don’t even know a low budget bitch. Bitch, she has more money than your azz will ever come across. She making Thousands of dollars right now bitch. Oh, she’ll be on BET performing for another Star Chaka Khan on the 29th bitch. Where will your low budget azz will be. She the American Idol bitch, not you. So STFU.
Thu, November 26, 2009 4:07 AM
These blogs making money off of Fantasia’s name. She’s the only sister to win AI and everybody keeps attacking this women. She’s the only Idol to be bad mouth on for the last 5 years. Why? Because she had a child and dropped out of school. Fuck, there’s plenty of women out there in that position. Look, she came out of that and she lives in a million dollar home. Not the projects. Shit, dope dealer’s turned rapper’s did the same damn thing and nobody’s putting them down or dragging there names all over the net’s. What’s the fucking problem? She’s not selling drugs and her daughter is getting a better education then her. She’ providing that…no one else.
Thu, November 26, 2009 4:09 AM
Some of you need to go to stop with your bored azz.
Thu, November 26, 2009 5:32 AM
Damn Yoboy, are you your momma or something? *insert eye roll*
Anyway, she does look nice in these pics, but I noticed they had to cover up her entire body because of those ghetto ass tattoos she has all over the place.
A lot of tattoos will NEVER look classy ladies. Please don’t turn yourself into a sketchpad, you’ll probably regret it later!
Thu, November 26, 2009 7:13 AM
God me! fantasia is hot.
Lord, i always knew she was a beaut,but here, it is indisputable!
i am so loving her.
what…cool,calm, black and robust…eh, well- endowed beauty is all about.
Thu, November 26, 2009 7:13 AM
Miserable much? I know ur “entitled to ur opinion” but why don’t u use more mature words other than “ugly”. For example, “she’s doesn’t look very attractive in that photo”, that outfit isn’t very flattering”, or “her hair isn’t very becoming to her face”. She looks beautiful to me.
Thu, November 26, 2009 7:20 AM
Why can’t yall enjoy the pictures without talking about her
personal life?
Thu, November 26, 2009 7:20 AM
does her Dad sound like Joe Jackson or what!
how can u sue your daughter, when she didn’t try to kill you and was getting away with it?
take heart child.
i think you are the meekest artiste i have ever heard of or known.
what antics, you say?
oh the married man thing?
well, if he ain’t ‘hiding’ her, that says all there needs to be said about his ‘marriage’ to the one who has got the ‘dotted line’ on him.
i don’t fancy adultery…but…
Thu, November 26, 2009 8:32 AM
Why is her dating “Cook” dude being taken so personally?!
What she does in her personal life, is her business.
Thu, November 26, 2009 8:41 AM
Fanny looks so pretty & classy! I love it! As far as her and Cook or whoever dude is…I still ♥ Fanny just like Alicia Keys, despite their flings with married men…SMH!
Thu, November 26, 2009 9:00 AM
What She say?
Thu, November 26, 2009 9:39 AM
I see they covered up those hideous tattoos! Too bad there’s no airbrushing in real life!
Thu, November 26, 2009 9:42 AM
I am single, and a hot girl. I am looking for my soulmate. I uploaded my more hotter photos and videos on “stdchatting.com” under username “katenair”. I hope you can find me. I am waiting for you!
Thu, November 26, 2009 10:11 AM
She looks GREAT (big lips and all).
I love her music!
Thu, November 26, 2009 10:23 AM
CO-SIGN
Thu, November 26, 2009 10:26 AM
WHich site have you been on?? NO ONE gave Alicia a pass, esp not here LOL
Thu, November 26, 2009 11:37 AM
Pictures look great. I not going to say bash her for dating the married man because it takes two to tango so to bash her I have to bash him AND then I have to bash the wife for not handling her business cause if she was handling her business there is no way he would want to cheat. It is thanksgiving so I don’t want to bash but show some love.
Fanni you are looking good. Keep the new and improved look PLEASE!
Thu, November 26, 2009 12:34 PM
@yaboy, fantasia is the only one to win idol and not have a career afterwrads and ruben, fat
Thu, November 26, 2009 2:04 PM
Cute pics………w/her lying ass!!!!!!!! LOL
Thu, November 26, 2009 2:09 PM
Best she has ever looked air-brushing is a God send!
Thu, November 26, 2009 2:35 PM
she actually looks upscale- she needs to cover those hellish tattoos and start dressing like this, people in the industry will take her seriously.
Thu, November 26, 2009 2:37 PM
@ Just Sayin: Are you serious? You have to bash the wife for “not handling business” ? A man’s going to be a ho regardless of his wife and even if he’s not happy, then you handle your crap by getting a divorce. “DUH”.
Cheating is never excusable and causes nothing but pain and hardship for those subjected to it. Maybe when you experience (probably have, just are blind to it) you’ll understand.
Also, I wanted to bring up Kim Z. from Housewives of Atl. A lot of people on here defending Fantasia being with someone married would probably tear Kim Z. to pieces all because they’re not a fan. People, get your morals up!
And, the issue is a big deal because she’s a role model to the community. This is how we want to portray our black women? As women who sleep with married men with no concern for the marriage and the children?
I don’t think so. I want black women to be seen as respectful, courteous, leaders.
:P
Thu, November 26, 2009 2:41 PM
THERE IS NOT A CELEBRITY OUT THERE THAT HASN’T BEEN AIRBRUSHED
SO STOP IT.WHEN THEY ALL TAKE OFF THERE 3 LAYERS OF MAKE UP
ALL OF THEM LOOK LIKE THE AVERAGE WOMAN SHOPPING IN THE
GROCERY STORE. ALLLLLLLLL OF THEM!!!!!!!!
Thu, November 26, 2009 3:20 PM
Fantasia looks good. She can sing Fantasia will blow Taylor Swift out of the water.
Thu, November 26, 2009 9:58 PM
New post….
What’s going on!
Thu, November 26, 2009 9:59 PM
It’s been 2 days now!!!
Not even a weekend. New post!
What’s going on!
Fri, November 27, 2009 1:05 AM
Can anyone else tell that they clearly photoshopped her lips on the cover? You can even see they are bigger in the other shots…and no, that can’t just be an angle. Smh…
Fri, November 27, 2009 1:27 AM
Love the photos and cute hair :)
Fri, November 27, 2009 2:02 AM
UGGs Clearance On Sale!A large quantity of UGG boots for clearance sale styles have ugg tall boots ,short uggs,black uggs,rose uggs!
Fri, November 27, 2009 3:10 AM
la’trice- If having a career getting naked constantly in front of the world for cash, I guess Fantasia doesn’t have a career in striping. Fantasia has a career in singing for people. She’s been doing it for the last 5 years. She will not sell her nakedness for money. Question? Do you have a career or you still in school trying to find you way?
Fri, November 27, 2009 7:05 AM
This is the BEST she has EVER looked. Go head with cho kuntry ghetto steez…
Fri, November 27, 2009 11:15 AM
why arent there any new posts..?/
Fri, November 27, 2009 12:54 PM
Fantasia looks gorgeous. Makeup, hair and clothes looks great on her. Fantasia has lost all the weight and toned up nicely. Can wait to hear the new album. Loved the two last ones.
Fri, November 27, 2009 12:59 PM
I like Tasia’s white pants suit. Loves the accessories. Loves the hairstyle.
I also love the blue dress. Love the earings and bracelet. Tasia’s hairstyle looks good on her.
I love the black dress and the jacket. Don’t like the gloves and necklace together with the outfit. A bit too much.
Fri, November 27, 2009 1:39 PM
too dumb for words.
Fri, November 27, 2009 1:54 PM
sorry, i had to double back… did she say, she’d much rather date someone in her tax bracket??! wow. Fantasia why are you acting brandnew? I wonder what tax bracket is that.. is it the one that includes foreclosures? I wonder what “cook” had to say about that statement. Please revisit my previous post.
Fri, November 27, 2009 3:09 PM
I don’t care what kind of makeup, clothing, shoes, etc. she just does not have it. There is nothing attactive about her. Ghetto will always be her best friend.
Fri, November 27, 2009 6:48 PM
OMG SHE LOOKS HOT SHES MY GIRL YEAH PEOPLES SHE WILL BE HERE IN BARBADOS FOR OUR MUSIC AWARDS THATS SOOOOOOO GREAT
Fri, November 27, 2009 9:20 PM
Fantasia’s my girl LOVE HER!and her BAD ASS!!!! voice. Her voice hides all that Ghettoness.I LOVE! the pics especially the last one, it’s freakin flawless, who cares about her personal life, she still put that STANK!! on it when she sings GO TASIA!!!!
Fri, November 27, 2009 9:52 PM
Fantasia looks marvelous, especially in the white. Her personal life is of no concern of mine, because, I have my own life to lead. I love her music and her personality.
Fri, November 27, 2009 9:53 PM
WOW, she looks great!
Fri, November 27, 2009 10:07 PM
the only one that might be givin alicia a pass is fantasia! she cool she cool lol.
Fri, November 27, 2009 10:40 PM
Fantasia looks great! She has always been a pretty girl to me. Does anybody on this blog know Antwaun Cook? Does anybody on this board knows the real deal between Fantasia and Antwaun? I’m certain YBF doesn’t.
Sat, November 28, 2009 11:23 AM
She looks great!
Sat, November 28, 2009 1:44 PM
I’m not jumping to conclusions about Fantasia and a married man. I just hope this is not true. Tasia don’t need this drama in her life and this married man might only be looking for fame.
Sat, November 28, 2009 2:18 PM
I understand that everyone is concerned about the HOMEWRECKER incident..LOL. Please understand, that you can always put the Blame on the OTHER women. The man could be telling her something in her ear that leads her to believe that things arent as they seem. Ya’ll gone stay off FANNIE though…She isnt they only one talking to a Married Man. If thats even the case. No of us know!!!

i wish she would have stayed with dro..he cute
Sat, November 28, 2009 5:52 PM
SHE NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME !!!
Sun, November 29, 2009 1:53 PM
I don’t know about Tasia’s reality show. I hope the show focuses on her music instead of the drama in her personal life. I would like to see her preparing for her concerts, appearances and photo shoots. If the reality show focuses on the her personal life, it might backfire on her and overshadow her music. I wish Tasia all the best.
Sun, November 29, 2009 7:20 PM
She actually looks cute in these photos!! She needs to get it together in real life, though.
Sun, December 6, 2009 8:30 PM
Fantasia looks great. I especially like the blue dress.
Sun, January 31, 2010 12:34 PM
I personally have no respect for women or men for that matter who choose to have a relationship with a married person…it’s wrong just wrong. Also b/c Fantasia is a Christian she should definitely know better. As for Aleyshia Keys…dead wrong as well. Show some respect people b/c karma is no joke!!!
Fri, March 19, 2010 5:44 PM
yall need to stop hateing cuz vshe young qute and fabulis dont hate cuz sher makeing it and some of us ant go get yo ass up and get a real job and mabe youll make money like her ok
