    JoJo Assigns Mother to Lighting Duty When Shooting Sensual Music Video for 'Comeback'

    Instagram

    Aside from sharing the behind-the-scenes story, the ‘Leave (Get Out)’ singer promotes her new song featuring Tory Lanez and 30 Roc as one that oozes the ‘sexy time playlist’ vibe.
    May 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – JoJo has apparently made the filming of her music video for “Comeback” a family affair. On Thursday, May 7, the “Too Little Too Late” hitmaker released the “very sexy” visual for the latest single off her “Good to Know” album, and revealed in an interview that her mother did lend a hand during its production.
    Speaking about the sensual music video, the 29-year-old singer told E!’s Scott Tweedie for HappE! Hour that it was shot at her home in Los Angeles. “This table that I’m talking to you on, we turned it into a surface for me to kind of crawl on and dance on and do all these things,” she dished. “And my mom was, like, helping hold up the lighting and stuff.”
    Though admitting that having her mother around during the sensual shoot “was weird,” the “Leave (Get Out)” singer still found the process “fun.” On the reason why, she explained, “My mom, she’s no prude. So it’s not like she was like ‘oh my!’ clutching pearls or anything.” She additionally noted that a friend, “who’s a director, come through – wearing a mask and everything” to do the shoot.
    When discussing the single featuring Tory Lanez and 30 Roc, JoJo acknowledged its steamy elements. “I guess some people are surprised to hear me talkin’ that way,” she weighed in before pointing out, “But yeah, it’s a fun song. You definitely need to add it to your sexy time playlist type of vibe.”

    Upon releasing the promo video, JoJo announced in an Instagram post, “this is dedicated to everyone who’s looking forward to that post-quarantine comeback with bae.” She continued spilling, “made this video IN MY CRIB !!! #quarantinestyle @torylanez and I shot our parts in separate states (f*kin ‘rona…) but AYE. we made it WERK. Ps- we accept no liability for any babies made as a result of your post covid comeback sex.”

    “Comeback” comes from JoJo’s fourth studio album “Good to Know”, which was released on May 1. She explained that she was abstaining from sex in her process of making the record. “The album just finds me processing and getting to a place of realising I’ve never been alone my whole adult life,” she told PEOPLE. “I’ve always been in a relationship with somebody, and I was delaying a really important part of becoming an adult, which is being independent.”

    French Montana Demands Royalty From Swae Lee's 'Powerglide'

    WENN/instagram

    In a new interview, the ‘Lockjaw’ hitmaker also calls out the Rae Sremmurd member for putting out the sequel of his hit record ‘Unforgettable’ without including him.
    May 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – French Montana once again made a wild statement during an interview. After making headlines for his remarks about outshining Kendrick Lamar, French appeared to throw major shade at Swae Lee.
    Speaking with Billboard, the “That’s a Fact” rapper alluded that he produced the Rae Sremmurd artist’s song “Powerglide” but never got credited for it. Additionally, he called out Swae for putting out the sequel of his hit record “Unforgettable” without including him.
    “If I didn’t structure the song, what happened when they put out ‘Unforgettable’ part 2, ‘Guatemala’? How come that didn’t sell nine million?” asked French. “That’s how they try and do me. I do ‘Unforgettable’, they take me out and he replaces me with somebody else to come out with a part 2. I never took it no way.”

    Just recently, French revealed in a phone call interview with Big Boy TV that he used to have an awkward moment when he and Kodak Black filmed music video for his hit “Lockjaw”. “Me and him didn’t have one conversation when we shot the video,” French explained. “I just looked at him and he growled at me,” he went on saying while laughing.
    That is not the only wild remark that French made during recent interview. He previously sparked controversy after he said that he would outshine Kendrick Lamar. “I could go against anybody. You could put somebody like Kendrick Lamar next to me on the same stage at a festival, I might outshine him. Not because I’m a better rapper, or whatever it is. It’s just that I got more hits,” he told Complex in an interview earlier this month.
    He went on explaining, “Kendrick Lamar got albums. He got masterpieces. But if you want to put us on the festival stage, I would outshine him because I have more hits than Kendrick Lamar.”
    The Bronx rapper received backlash from Kendrick fans, prompting the “Welcome to the Party” spitter to clarify on his Twitter account. “IF WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ANTHEMS, !! ME VS KENDRICK HIT FOR HIT ! I BELIEVE I CAN GO NECK TO NECK !!” French insisted. “I BEEN MAKING HITS FOR A LONG TIME ! IT AINT MY FAULT I BELIEVE IN MYSELF. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ? HOW MANY TIMES I GOTTA PROVE MYSELF BEFORE I GET MINE.”
    Assuring that there’s no bad blood between him and Kendrick, French added, “I love kendrick! that’s not just for kendrick that’s to anybody they put in front of me, and ask me that same question that u want me to say lol ? It should be your attitude too. If u think any less of yourself don’t blame it on the next person who don’t ! set it up.”

    The new music is expected to feature on Demi’s upcoming album, the follow-up to 2017’s “Tell Me You Love Me”, and her first under the guidance of Braun, having signed to his SB Projects firm a year ago as she began to plot her next career moves following her near-fatal drug overdose in the summer of 2018.
