What Happened To JoJo?

What Happened To JoJo?

No, this article is not about Jojo Fletcher, The Bachelorette.

If you recall listening to the top hits back in the early 2000s, specifically 2004-2006, you would remember exactly who I am talking about.

JoJo, who was 13 at the time of the release of her hit single, "Leave (Get Out)" and was the youngest artist to have a number-one single in the U.S.


Although after her first album dropped and she was able to produce a successful second album, after that, JoJo seemed to have disappeared from the music scene.

During this time, JoJo had made some film appearances, such as Aquamarine, and RV, but other than that, not much else was known about the singer.

One of the only gems we got from JoJo during this time, that became an internet sensation, was the remix of Drake's "Marvin's Room" that she dropped in 2011, which was when fans started to wonder where she had been all these years.

It wasn't until 2013, that it was revealed to fans as to why JoJo, a number one hit single artist, had left the music scene. Turns out she never had. She had been in the studio working on music the whole time.

JoJo had filed a lawsuit in July 2013 to the New York State Supreme Court against her label at that time, Blackground, claiming that she had been trapped in a 7-year contract that she had signed as a minor, meaning that she should have been released since 2011 from the label.

JoJo said that she had a third album ready to drop with different variations of songs, album covers, photoshoots, etc, but that Blackground was not responsive with releasing any of her material.

In 2014, she was finally released from Blackground, after 10 years.

She is now signed to Atlantic Records, and has dropped a new single with rapper Wiz Khalifa, called "F*** Apologies."

Her debut album, "Mad Love," is set to drop in October.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
