Janelle Monáe Robinson covers the September issue of Bustle Magazine where she talks about her last album Dirty Computer. The American singer-songwriter, actress, and model, who recently came out as a pansexual is also set to headline the launch of Bustle’s inaugural Rule Breakers event taking place in New York City on September 22 at Lefrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park.
Rule Breakers is a full day, immersive experience celebrating music, culture, fashion, and lifestyle. The event will open doors for thousands of attendees to explore the pages of Bustle IRL, granting guests unprecedented access to exclusively crafted experiences in partnership with top global brands, from group meditation to retro roller skating, rotating food vendors, a ’90s nostalgia party, and more.

In this issue, Janelle Monáe establishes that she is born to break rules. As a part of her creative process, she creates rules, breaks them and redesigns them. She does not allow anyone to tell her otherwise as she has been born to live life as she deems fit!
According to the multitalented singer, Janelle is all about creating more space for herself and other artists, and black women in particular. If she can’t be all of her, whatever that may mean to her during that time — where she is at mentally, spiritually, whatever person she identifies as — when she’s releasing music, then she doesn’t want to do it.
