Jill Scott stopped by The Breakfast Club earlier today to help promote her newest album, Woman, which dropped July 24.
In a roundtable discussion with Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee, Jilly from Philly discussed not only her music and the inspiration behind it, but personal experiences with sex, relationships, heartbreak and more.
She alluded to her current relationship status as something “way more than sex,” compared her new album to “a journal,” revealed why she wanted to become a psychiatrist, and expounded on where she stood with her views on Bill Cosby and the countless rape allegations against him. That, plus so much more.

Dear Diary
Jill compares her new album to a journal where she was able to be reflective on different parts of her life.
Former Aspiring Psychologist
The soulstress originally studied Psychology, but changed her major to teach English last minute.
Janitor
She scrubbed toilets to help pay for college. Look at her now…
Black Heroes
Jill elaborated on what she meant when she said it is dangerous to be a Black male artist/beloved celebrity, touching on Allen Iverson, Michael Jackson and Bill Cosby and reminding listeners that our heroes are first and foremost human.
Bill Cosby
Jill Scott reiterated that, although she had to stop defending him, she couldn’t completely write the accused rapist off in the grand scheme of things, because she personally knows him as someone who helped her and guided her and looked out for her.
Dementia
Her father is suffering from dementia. As she loses her real life dad, she’s also losing her “dad” aka, Mr. Huxtable.
Woman
She titled her new album Woman to reflect her wiser, older, stronger self.
