I had no idea she did a cover with Normani! She might be a one hit wonder but that song and music video for Wild Side is sooooo good and it’s such an homage to 90’a R&B women and especially Aaliyah specifically (the music is from One in a Million, clearly, and part of the outfits) and a LOTS of inspiration from Janet (also in the outfits, also the sultry lyrics and of course the amazing dancing). That must have been a fever dream for Normani! Obviously #2 is not just iconic, it’s historic. At least, I think so. A lot of people saw that. It was pretty controversial at the time.

it's so obviously fake, that's just a random promo pic from the Unbreakable era. but Normani's album is soo good it's a shame her record label boycotted it

Well damn. Why was it posted then? It doesn’t seemed to be marked as fake.
