    Get ready for some serious storytelling! Joyner Lucas has just dropped a brand new music video for his track “NVM,” and he’s brought along the incredible Mýa to star in it. This visual is already capturing hearts and sparking conversations, showcasing Lucas’s knack for creating deeply resonant narratives.

    A Tale of Relationship Woes

    The video kicks off with Lucas taking on the perspective of Mýa’s character, expressing frustration and a feeling of being disrespected in her relationship. “I stayed around for way too long hoping that we’d be straight / but you don’t respect me anymore, I’m seeing it in your face,” he raps, painting a vivid picture of a love that’s fading.

    But Lucas doesn’t stop there. The video masterfully shifts to the man’s point of view, where he reflects on the happier times and the evolution of their relationship. He laments how they’ve gone from best friends to constant arguers, highlighting the painful disconnect that can grow between partners.

Fans are showering Lucas with compliments, with one top comment reading, “Joyner just too good at what he does.” Another fan echoed the sentiment, calling him “Definitely one of the greatest of all time frfr keep blessing us with these songs.”

    Following Up “ADHD 2”

  • Mýa Explains Why She’s Not Married or Has Kids

    R&B singer Mýa is known for her hit songs and independent spirit. In a recent candid conversation on the “Hot and Bothered” podcast with Melyssa Ford, the artist opened up about why marriage and children have never been her primary focus, addressing long-standing rumors and societal expectations.

    Breaking Free from Societal Norms

    Mýa, who has been open about her journey with celibacy and choosing to “keep going” with her career, explained that her perspective on family life was shaped by witnessing her parents’ divorce. “I’ve witnessed a lot of things,” she shared, admitting that the traditional white wedding dress and the societal timeline for marriage and children instilled a sense of fear in her. This led her to seek fulfillment elsewhere, often immersing herself in her work.

    The 45-year-old artist also highlighted the demands of her career, noting that her mission and vision require her to travel extensively. She expressed concern about not being able to adequately show up for a significant other given her demanding schedule. “If I have to be gone 95% of the time, and my work calls of me to travel, it must be intimidating and I also cant show up properly for my significant other,” she admitted.

    A Life Full of Love in Different Forms

    Mýa believes that love and family will come to her in “divine time” and in various forms, not solely through a traditional partnership. She has had to “recalibrate” her mindset, moving away from the “fantasy or illusion” that society often dictates. “I’m very happy with myself,” she confessed, emphasizing that this happiness came from shedding societal expectations about marriage and children.

    She also touched upon the pressure society places on individuals who don’t follow a conventional timeline, noting the common sentiment that “if you don’t have it, ‘something’s wrong with you.’” Mýa’s journey is a testament to redefining personal success and happiness on her own terms, finding fulfillment in her independence, her work, and the diverse forms of love in her life.

  • Hollywood’s ‘Rich Aunties’: Mýa on Choosing a Child-Free Life

    In a society that often pressures women to marry and have children by a certain age, several Hollywood stars are redefining success and happiness by choosing a different path. Mýa, Tracee Ellis Ross, Ava DuVernay, Mary J. Blige, Aisha Tyler, Oprah Winfrey, Octavia Spencer, and Sanaa Lathan are among the prominent figures who have embraced a child-free life, often referred to as becoming the “rich auntie” of the family. These women are proving that fulfillment comes in many forms, independent of traditional milestones.

    Mýa’s Journey to Independence

    Singer Mýa recently shared her perspective on why marriage and children haven’t been her focus. Citing fears stemming from her parents’ divorce and a desire for independence, she explained on the “Hot and Bothered” podcast that her career and personal mission require significant travel, making it difficult to show up fully for a partner or family. “I’ve always thought a little different,” Mýa stated, “I’m very happy with myself… but that also required me to strip a lot of things that are expected of me on a specific timeline for the society that we grew up in.”

    She finds love and fulfillment in various forms, not solely through a traditional partnership, and believes that family will come in “divine time.” Mýa’s choice challenges societal norms that often question women who don’t follow a conventional path.

    Embracing Selfhood and Freedom

    Tracee Ellis Ross champions being “the poster child for being an inhabitant in your own skin.” For her, remaining single and child-free has allowed her to explore her humanity fully, leading to an “extraordinary experience that is filled with joy, loneliness, grief, exuberance, delight—literally all of it.” Ava DuVernay, having grown up with many younger siblings, never felt the desire to have children, stating, “I don’t feel like I would be a good mother for a child. I don’t want to do that.”

    Mary J. Blige, while married, has expressed contentment with not having children, valuing her freedom to travel and pursue her career without the constant demands of childcare. Aisha Tyler, who has spoken about her journey with infertility, has fully embraced her choice to focus on her career, finding joy in her professional life. Oprah Winfrey, too, cited a lack of patience for babies and a preference for her independent lifestyle with her partner, Stedman Graham, as reasons for not having children.

    Contentment in Choice

    Octavia Spencer reflects on her decision with contentment, acknowledging the societal expectation of marriage and children but affirming her satisfaction with her chosen path. Sanaa Lathan, while open to a life partner, cherishes her freedom and happiness as a single woman, pushing back against the notion that not being married equates to failure. These women exemplify that a fulfilling life can be built on personal choices, career ambitions, and a deep sense of self-love, challenging traditional narratives and inspiring others to embrace their own unique paths.

  • Mýa: Marriage & Motherhood Aren’t My Focus

    Singer Mýa, known for her unique path through celibacy, veganism, and even marrying herself, is once again making waves by speaking candidly about her life choices. In a recent chat on Melyssa Ford’s Hot & Bothered podcast, the ageless 45-year-old revealed that traditional marriage and motherhood have never been her primary focus.

    A Different Path to Fulfillment

    Mýa explained that she’s never felt drawn to the conventional life path. “It’s not even my focus and it never has been,” she shared. Her perspective is shaped by her upbringing, witnessing her parents’ divorce and observing various relationship dynamics. “I’ve always thought a little different,” she admitted, even joking about her childhood fear of staining a white wedding dress.

    This independent mindset has guided her career since her debut in 1998, allowing her to continue performing globally. Mýa also noted that her demanding career and frequent travel make it challenging to fully commit to a romantic partner right now. However, she’s not ruling out family entirely; she’s simply content with her current life, which is rich with love in many forms.

    Redefining Love and Life

    Mýa is actively working to recalibrate her thinking, moving away from societal expectations. “I’ve had to recalibrate my brain and not govern my life off of this fantasy or illusion that we have all been indoctrinated by or taught by,” she stated. This intentional approach has led her to embrace self-love and purpose.

    Her journey includes unique milestones like her 2020 music video where she married herself, and her decision to go vegan after a significant relationship. She’s also spoken openly about her seven-year period of celibacy, which she found provided significant “mental clarity” and shifted her focus away from societal pressures.

    Mýa’s commitment to living authentically, despite potential controversy, is truly inspiring. She’s a powerful example of how women can resist external pressure and define their own paths to happiness and fulfillment. It’s refreshing to see someone so confidently charting their own course.
