JoJo Recalls Bad Date with ‘Narcissist’ Rapper Who Asked Her to ‘Do Cocaine in the Bathroom’ with Him
One date with a rapper left a particularly bad taste in Joanna “JoJo” Levesque’s mouth.
In an Oct. 17 TikTok video with creator Emma Wahl, the 33-year-old “Too Little Too Late” singer recalled going on a date with an unnamed “narcissist” rapper who asked her to “do cocaine” with him in the bathroom.
JoJo described the person as a “talented artist, more so known as a rapper back then,” though she didn’t specify exactly when the date went down. “He picked me up in his Batmobile-type thing,” she explained in the clip.
“We had mad drinks, and he had way more drinks than I did. He was talking about himself in third person the whole time, and that’s when I knew that I was never going to sleep with him,” she said.
“He proceeded to ask if I wanted to do cocaine in the bathroom. I didn’t, but he did, so he’s just on his own journey, you know what I mean?” added JoJo. “That was really the extent of the date. I think he got a DUI later in the game. That’s neither here nor there. That was the date. It was not good.”
Wahl then asked the “Leave (Get Out)” musician if she’s since had any run-ins with the rapper. “He ended up dating a friend of mine pretty seriously,” she detailed. “And I was like, ‘I don’t know how she’s with this guy.’ He’s a narcissist, and I know that term is way, way overused. But I think this guy is a narcissist.”
JoJo said the person is “still putting out music” to this day: “We’re still both out there, but just, ‘Okay, hi! Hope you’re well. Hope you’re not doing cocaine in the bathroom anymore.’”
Fresh off the success of her New York Times bestselling memoir Over the Influence, the powerhouse vocalist dropped her her first new single in three years, “Porcelain,” on Oct. 2. At the time, she spoke to PEOPLE about feeling “liberated” by the release.
Around the time JoJo wrote “Porcelain,” she’d recently experienced “so much change in such a short amount of time,” having gone through a breakup, moved from L.A. to N.Y.C. and chosen to exit “the major label game” with the launch of her own independent label, Clover Records.
“I felt myself free falling in every way,” she said. “But instead of feeling afraid, this time I was liberated.”
“Porcelain” marks her first fully independent single through Clover Records in partnership with BMG Rights Management.
“There’s been such incredible support around my memoir,” added JoJo, “and the message of this song that I made with my friends Theron ‘Neff-U’ Feemster, David Williams and Lil’ Eddie felt like divine timing.”
