The soul-crooner with corn rolls–D’Angelo–is back! After 12 years of silence, he has reclaimed his sexy and come out of hiding! In an interview with GQ Magazine, the “Lady” singer divulges all (even the time he was arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover officer).

Check out a clip from the article and be sure to admire his photo!

D’Angelo on battling his substance abuse during his hiatus: “I didn’t really think I had a problem like that,” he says, taking a hit off a Newport. “I felt like, you know, all I got to do is clean up and I’ll be fine. Just get in the studio and I’ll be f***ing fine.”

…on his arrest for soliciting sex from an undercover officer: “It was just me making a stupid decision, a wrong turn, on the wrong night. I’m not the role-model motherf**ker. Look at all the s**t that I’ve been in.”

…on an instance with a female fan: “One time I got mad when a female threw money at me onstage, and that made me feel f****d-up, and I threw the money back at her,” he says. “ I was like, ‘I’m not a stripper.’

…on Madonna:

When Madonna turned 39, she asked him to sing “Happy Birthday” at her party. One press report had her sitting on his lap and French-kissing him. In fact, two sources say that ultimately D rebuffed her advances at another gathering not long after. At that event, the sources say, Madonna walked over and told a woman sitting next to D, “I think you’re in my seat.” The woman got up. Madonna sat down and told him, “I’d like to know what you’re thinking.” To which D replied, “I’m thinking you’re rude.”
