Drawing inspiration from artist like ( Erykah Badu, Missy Elliot, Backyard Band & TLC), the DMV native made the move to Atlanta to explore her creativity. It is here that she was able to connect with Grammy award winning sound engineer and producer Alvin Speights, (Michael Jackson, Madonna, & Boyz II Men).

I started putting melodies to those writings and they became song lyrics. Being around the DMV and its heavy musical influences, I guess it was bound to happen.

During this period, I learned quite a bit, recording myself and even engineering at times. I dropped my first professionally recorded project “Energy” on all major streaming platforms in the early part of 2019 then decided to do some traveling to Australia in which I loved the culture and the people. I would almost say it is kin to a second home for me now. After returning from Australia I was able to link up with a very talented Atlanta based music producer & filmmaker, Weku Did That, and was able to release my latest project, “Frequencies ” on all major streaming platforms, and there is so much more to come so definitely stay tuned.

Interview

Nene Leakes Left Wide-Eyed By Chrisean Rock’s 12-Kid Reveal

H

Reality icon Nene Leakes is no stranger to jaw-dropping interviews, but even she had to pause when Chrisean Rock dropped a bombshell on her latest appearance. As a guest on Nene’s talk show, the viral rapper and internet sensation opened up about her complicated relationship with Blueface, motherhood, and a surprise personal decision that had fans and Nene herself doing a double take. In a heart-to-heart moment, Nene delicately inquired about the infamous Blueface tattoo prominently inked on Rock’s cheek.

“Why you put him on your face because you have a beautiful face?” Nene asked, with the sass and sincerity only she can deliver. “Now, Chrisean… would you ever take it off?” Without hesitation, Chrisean confirmed what many fans didn’t see coming. “I’m do it on my stream,” she said confidently. “I want my fans to be a part of the process.” But just when the conversation seemed like it couldn’t get any more personal, Rock took it to another level by revealing she hopes to have twelve children in the future.

The confession left Nene and likely anyone watching with raised eyebrows and a host of follow-up questions. While Rock didn’t dive into the timeline or logistics, her conviction was clear. In an age where celebrities often filter their truths, Chrisean’s candidness struck a chord, if not a nerve. Nene, ever the seasoned host, managed to keep her cool, delivering her signature blend of shocked expression and knowing nod. “Twelve? Girl, you better get to work!”

Chrisean’s willingness to share her journey, including the removal of a very public symbol of her past and her dreams of a big family, gives a new dimension to the often misunderstood star. Whether or not the world is ready for Rock and her future football team-sized family, she’s doing things on her own terms. As for Nene, she may just need a moment to recover before the next guest walks in with a story to top this one.

H

Keke Palmer has always been open about her feelings, and this week was no exception as she talked about a canceled podcast episode featuring actor Jonathan Majors, who is currently facing legal challenges. Back in April, fans noticed a preview for what seemed to be an exciting and possibly controversial episode of her podcast, “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer.” The Wondry app described it with the phrase “Accountability. It’s a loaded word, right?” The episode was set to explore how society is changing its views on forgiveness, justice, and what it means to hold people, especially men, accountable for their actions.

Naturally, fans became curious when the episode didn’t air as planned. They wondered if it was canceled because of Majors’ legal issues or if Keke decided not to release it on her own. During a recent interview on “Way Up With Angela Yee,” Keke finally shared her thoughts. She explained that some of the decisions may have been beyond her control, but she spoke about it in a calm and respectful way. She didn’t blame anyone or go for shock value but hinted that there were bigger issues influencing the situation.
