[EXCLUSIVE] Syleena Johnson: ‘R&B Divas’, Faith Evans & Nicci Gilbert’s Departures, Crazy Rumors + New Album

so she knows the rules real well. It just wasn’t right how we thought we were nominated because we were a apart of that compilation album and it was brought to us as a compilation album but when it was submitted as ‘Best R&B album’…so that to me was strange. Especially when I saw after that, that a song that I put on the album called Stonewall was licensed to the album because it was already on Chapter 5. So, it was already my song,  I wrote it but if you look on the album it says ‘Faith Evans ft. Syleena Johnson’ as if it was her song and I’m featuring on it. So there’s two things that could’ve happened. Of course, she could’ve snubbed us and did it on purpose, behind our back but I just don’t know if I believe that because I know Faith and I just don’t think she’s that kind of person or it could’ve been her label that had to do it that way so that it could be entered into the category. ..So it’s fishy, it’s shady but I can’t sit here and say it was Faith’s fault ‘she did it’, because I just don’t believe she would do something like that. Plus, she never called to say anything to us about it so that also was kind of weird but maybe she didn’t call because she didn’t know what was going on either.

Ohhh, umm, yeah, that’s next question, Jasmine. You’re real messy…That’s between them…

Contrary to what you guys, see and you are seeing the right thing….We’re very close. KeKe is just bananas. It is what it is, but she is ummm…She look crazy on TV, make no mistake about it. She’s super, duper not crazy.  She’s just spoiled…She doesn’t know how to communicate very good. She grew up around all boys…To me, I think they’re the same…They’re a lot alike.

I wanted to show black relationships, black married couples embracing therapy…Because we have a lack of communication….We’re opposites, but sometimes it’s confusing where one person talks and one person doesn’t…I wanted to show that element for our people…I still see a therapist just for myself. Black people just feel like, ‘You gotta be strong!’

Favorite time of day to have sex:

The morning.

The craziest rumor she’s heard about herself:

That I’m Chad Ochoncinco’s sister….Because he would say, ‘That’s my sister’. So I would say, ‘Yes, that’s my brother’…He’s a friend of mine. He’s my boy. He’s funny. We’re not blood.

The biggest misconception about her: 

That I’m an alto or a tenor…That I don’t write my records.

Least favorite song to sing:

Guess What.
