Teyana Taylor has returned with her first new album since her 2018 Kanye West executive produced "K.T.S.E". Her new album "The Album" which dropped today (Juneteenth) and features four different sections (Studio's A, L, B, U, and M) and comes with some pretty amazing features including Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Erykah Badu, Kehlani, Future, Quavo, Rick Ross the list goes on and on!
Calling into the Angie Martinez show today the singer right off the bat wanted to address her album listening party that happened the other night. In many pictures from the party people were seen not wearing masks or taking the proper social distancing precautions. In response she said that she knew like something like this would happen but wanted to express that everyone did have masks on, custom made has-mat suits and their temperature checked, they only took masks off to snag a few pictures and immediately put them back on.
“You gotta realize everyone that have on masks, photographers cant get what they want, so the moment people got they masks of flash flash flash, soon as you put the masks back on the cameras go off” she went on “you could not even walk into the house without putting your has-mat suit on and the mask”
Recently Teyana revealed that she was pregnant with her second child with husband Iman Shumpert. While already 6 months along with their new baby girl the singer says that she's almost there and while being very sick towards the beginning of the pregnancy now she's good and "I'm up outta here come October its lit”
As for their first born Juni (who is already 4 years old) Angie asked Teyana if she has had any conversations with her about what is going on in the world when it comes to racism, the protests and loving herself:
“What I tell her at four? I have her embrace her skin, she loves her brown skin, she loves her curly hair, im teaching her to embrace herself but Im also teaching her good from bad.”
