![]() The 24-year-old Wright has been in the game for about a decade getting an early start as an MC in the group Philly Blunts. The day after the performance debuted on MTV 2, everybody was asking, who was that “chick” with Jigga. While Jay Z, Nas and The Roots are exchanging crossfire - instigated by New York’s HOT 97 ( Vibe Magazine style) - Jaguar Wright took the opportunity to come up in the world. Even the so-called “Queen of Hip-hop Soul” had to up her game when she joined Jay on stage for a rendition of their classic “Can’t Knock the Hustle.” The latter exchange of “Ain’t No” by the two is about as soulful and moving as hip-hop has ever allowed itself to be. That moment helped transformed the listening studio into the church of ‘Hova and Jaguar into a High Priestess. Wright come off as tame during the song first chorus (taken straight from Bobby “Blue” Bland’s classic version), but decides to take it to church on the second chorus as Jay can be heard in the background “ok, I feel ya, ma”. The highlight of Jigga’s performance was an inspired version of “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love)” as the song taken to new heights by his vocal exchange with Wright. But Wright acquired buzz in ways never expected due to a “controversial” collaboration between the Roots and Jay Z as Wright served as the primary backing vocalists during the Jay Z’s recent Unplugged performance. And such was the case with Denials, Delusions, and Decisions the oft-delayed debut by Jaguar Wright.

Neither JAY-Z nor Common has responded to the singer’s claims.Yeah I’m black and I wear braids sometimes. He ain’t been right since Lauryn Hill left him anyway.” You was with whoever, you always got whoever’s hot dating you, but the sh*t don’t last long. ![]() She continued: “You was with Serena, that didn’t work out. Because n*gga, if you’re going to try to stick your d*ck in my mouth while I’m sleep, there isn’t anything you won’t do.” Whatever the f*ck you want to call yourself. “This n*gga trying to stick his d*ck in my mouth while I’m sleep,” she recalls. She then states that she fell asleep and woke up to an object placed in her mouth. I was on the stage all night, I wanna lay down.” ![]() She doesn’t reveal how the two ended up in the studio together but claims that “next thing we know we go to bed and he says, ‘C’mon J.’ No, I’m tired, n*gga. Wright’s claims come three years after she accused Chicago rapper Common of sexually assaulting her while she was sleeping in a recording studio.
