Jill Scott Calls Out the ‘Simple Minded,’ Responds To Trey Songz’s New Tune About Her Racy Microphone Video

Posted byBy Daryl Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

When a clip of Jill Scott simulating oral sex on a microphone went viral last week, she said a lot of people sent her direct messages, both famous and non-famous people alike.

But she probably didn’t expect anyone to make a song about the video, but that’s exactly what Trey Songz did with is cut “Jill (Sumn Real).” He also used a screenshot of the much talked about clip for the artwork and sampled Scott’s voice on her 2000 song “He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat).”

In regards to the lyrics, “Jill (Sumn Real)” is pretty much a love song mixed with an edgy hip-hop approach, and Trey waits until the end to mention Scott’s racy clip.

“When you touch me, I just can’t control it / When you touch me, I just can’t hold it / The emotion inside of me, I can feel it / Gimme sumn real, baby, do it like Jill / Know you got the real, give me sumn real, give me that Jill, do it like Jill,” sings Trey.

As soon as it was released, the song got a lot of attention and eventually a response from Scott, who liked it. But at the same time, she seemed tired of all the talk still surrounding the clip.

“In the midst of simple minded affection starved foolishness, this song is actually quite beautiful,” she wrote.

A lot of Scott’s fans liked the song as well.

“Loved it. He got my approval too,” someone wrote.

“She ain’t lying the song is fire,” another person tweeted.

Trey hasn’t responded to Scott as of yet, but you can listen to his song below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
