What Happened To JoJo?

Why we haven't heard from the "Leave (Get out)" singer in years

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
