Jessi’s back! It’s been a minute since we last talked to her and about a year since she was in the public eye in a serious way. She had to take a break, the situation got cleared up, but she’s still clearly feeling the repercussions — and here, for the first time, she sets the record straight. Now she’s back with her new EP P.M.S., kicking off with her addictive new single ‘Newsflash’ with Jadakiss.
She’s as fiery, funny, and unconventional as ever, but for all her feistyness the 36-year-old is vulnerable too and she’s keen to show this side of herself, not only in music, but in conversation. We talk about her childhood in Jersey, getting bullied and her subsequent glow up. Moving to Korea to make outside of the idol system, and winding up on reality show Unpretty Rapstar! She also discusses working with PSY (and other different labels), trying to make space for love (we fill her in on the existence of Raya and her brain is blown), plus so much more!
