Cassie, Lupe Fiasco & N*E*R*D* all have their own cover for the August/September issue of Complex Magazine. In the multi cover issue, Cassie will be talking about her upcoming album, training with vocal coachs and the haters. Here is a few questions Complex asked her and responses:

The Internet helped launch you, but it’s also home to extremely harsh anonymous sh*t-talkers. How do you feel about that?

Cassie: I love it.

You do?

Cassie: I do. It’s ammunition. I used to be really offended by it. It didn’t motivate me before; I didn’t get that concept. I get it now. At this point, the ridiculousness of the Internet and the things that people say—it’s funny.

What’s the harshest thing that’s been said about you?

Cassie: “She’s f****ng for checks.” I don’t f**k for checks—I’d rather live on the street.

Soul singer and actor Isaac Hayes has died, according to CNN. Relatives found the 65-year-old Grammy & Academy Award winner unconscious in his home next to a still-running treadmill, said Steve Shular, a spokesman for the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department. Paramedics made attempts to revive him and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after 2 p.m., the sheriff’s department said. No foul play is suspected.

Isaac Hayes, who is most known for writing the popular theme song to “Shaft,” co-starred alongside Bernie Mac in a new movie titled “Soul Men.” Bernie Mac passed away from pneumonia over Saturday morning.

On behalf of everyone involved with T2W, I would like to express my condolences to the family of Isaac Hayes. Another legend has gone on. He will be missed.
