STEVIE J GOT ON REALITY TV WITH A PLAN FOR A COMEBACK
Stevie J insists that he didn’t just blindly get into reality TV without a plan for himself. He says that he knew that being on television would would boost his profile and re-spark his career.
The first season … Puff and everybody like, ‘Whatchu doin’, my man? What areyou doing?’ My friends were calling me like, ‘Man, you’re going to lose your legacy.’ But I had it all planned out … I wouldn’t let anybody know my plan of attack. Cut to [now]: the Puff Daddy record and Ty Dolla $ign [record] is flying up the charts. I’m working on Pusha T. I just finished Kelly Price’s d— near whole album, and a Faith Evans and Biggie album. I’m working with Keyshia Cole. Keyshia called me and told me she wants to spend a month and a half with me. She said she’s been working with all these producers and they can’t give it to her. So she came to the studio. I picked up my guitar and played my piano and she was like, ‘I didn’t know. You got that sound I need.’ And with Puffy coming on [our] spinoff show … and saying what he said as far as giving me my credit, and saying that I was one of the best producers and musicians and writers, that’s when everybody really started taking notice. I appreciate my brother Puff for that.
