Part 1: Chingy & Vlad Agree: Industry People Like NORE are Fake & Full of Empty Promises
--------
Chingy joins VladTV to revisit a memorable chapter involving Janet Jackson, Jermaine Dupri, and his second album, *Powerballin’*. After Vlad recalls meeting Janet and Stevie Wonder at Johnny Gill’s New Year’s party, Chingy shares how Janet ended up appearing on his song “Don’t Worry” and how a phone call from the pop icon caught him completely off guard.
The St. Louis rapper says Janet’s team told him she admired him, then recalls a night out during her relationship with Jermaine Dupri where he felt she kept staring in his direction. Chingy reflects with humor on believing he could have had a chance, while still showing respect for Janet’s iconic status, beauty, and legacy. The conversation also touches on celebrity crushes, money, fame, and the unforgettable early-2000s hip-hop/R&B era.
