Man, Mike Jones has lost a lot of weight! It's been a minute since Mike Jones has been relevant. Do you think he can make a comeback with this song and new album?
T.I. is shown here getting the party hype at the Patron Music Motion Tour Party yesterday. And I see he was there promoting his album too. I am sure everyone got loaded with some Patron there. Fabolous, Wendy Williams, and Flo Rida were at the event. Flo Rida sure has been on the low lately...
I didn't know of the Trey Songz steroids rumors until recently. Apparently, the word on the street is that his new look was brought on by steriod use. Huh??? I mean, I haven't seen any recent photos of him, but is he beefy?? Wait, I just found this recent youtube video of him in the studio. I don't think he looks all that big at all to be put in the steroid mill. Check out the video because he is talking about the steriod rumors too. Like I said, I DO NOT believe that these rumors are true at all!!!
Okay, now on to these engagement rumors. Supposedly, Trey may be engaged to an Ethiopian dancer that he met during the Chris Brown tour. In a recent interview with Sister 2 Sister Magazine, Trey discussed a few details on his relationship:"Well, I’ll say he (Omarion) introduced us. From there, we went on that first tour together. I was on the Holiday Jam Scream Tour. She was on it too. We ain’t never really get a chance to kick it. She’d see me and she’d just kind of brush me off, but I’d be trying to holler at her. She’d see me with all different kinds of chicks and she wasn’t really feeling that."
Whether he is really engaged remains to be seen, but the two are definitely dating and serious at that. Anyway, I bet most of the ladies out there are hoping that this rumor is not true. LOL!! I guess we will have to see...We all know how rumors are. Be on the lookout for his upcoming album Ready to drop later this year!!!
Trey Songz was spotted this weekend at DJ Envy's Birthday celebration in Miami. It looks like he is still sporting that short crop. Do you like him better with short hair or braids? Take the poll below:
Check out Ne-Yo, Lauren London, and Trey Songz at Ne-Yo's "Miss Independent" video shoot. I remember hearing that Trey Songz cut his hair and here is futher evidence. How are you guys feeling Trey Songz' new haistyle?
I thought it would be cool to posted up an interview with Essence.com that Trey also posted on his myspace page to get everyone ready for him tonight. In the interview with Essence Trey talked about his recent change in appearance, politics, growth, and love.
ESSENCE.COM: So I hear you’re making a pretty big change soon…
Trey Songz: I cut my hair today. Everything I do in my life I do with a do-rag [laughs]. The braids are a part of me. It’s been ten years, but I am tired of them.
ESSENCE.COM: Is this change just another step in your evolution process?
Songz: With the new album, I am growing more into adulthood. I’m wearing my pants up a little more, my clothes are fitting [now], and I think it’s time to step into manhood, so that’s why [I decided to cut my hair.]
ESSENCE.COM: Speaking of new albums, I hear you've been burning the midnight oil in the studio as of late. What direction are you taking with this new LP?
Songz: I look to grow on every album. Musically, I have a soulful hip-hop edge, and I want to keep that base but also expand. I want to experiment with world music, soul, R&B, and a little bit of pop, while still keeping the essence of what I do.
ESSENCE.COM: Do you ever feel like the music today is missing something?
Songz: There is a lot of creativity and a lot of music of substance that doesn't get heard. I'd say it's more about what's missing from mainstream music. [The industry] wants a record that will stay in people's heads. If a song like Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" came out today, it would never get played. Everything has its place. R&B [is mostly] about love. Rappers talk about clubs. So you're either loving, having sex or in the club. I mean, Lil Wayne speaks about Al Sharpton on his new album but what's the single? "Lollipop." I dig people that try to get [a message] out. But everyone has to compromise a little piece of creativity to get a hit.
ESSENCE.COM: Songs like "Hatin Love," "Last Time" and "Missin You" show that you definitely know a thing or two about love and relationships. What is the recipe for a great love song?
Songz: A good love song makes a woman feel good. It makes a woman sing it and a man want to sing it back to her.
ESSENCE.COM: Since you brought up politics, how do you feel Obama's campaign is progressing?
Songz: Obama is great. I'm proud of him even though I don't know him. It's great to know that Black men can do things like this in this world right now. Even though he's not 100 percent Black, we feel proud about the views that he has and the way he looks at things. There's a lot of pressure on him. I hope he can handle it.
I thought Trey Songz cut those braids off!! Well, he may have. He probably cut his braids after this video premiered because there is a video floating out there showing him getting his braids cut off. The R&B singer stated that braids can make a person look childish. Do you think that is true? I guess he is following in Busta's footsteps. Remember, when Busta chopped off his braids? Anyway, check out this new vid from Trey Songz. This is one of the better songs on his album.
