Sheff G is dealing with some serious legal issues. Recently, however, he took the time to write a heartfelt message to his girlfriend. “Throughout all our ups and downs I learned how to become a better man," the message began.
"You taught me and walk me through so many things in such a short time," he continued. "I love you more than everything baby girl ... Everybody make mistakes in this world n I can’t believe I would be the one to make the mistake of losing you. You my heart, my other half, and I’ll do anything to see you happy and living, loving life."
According to Complex, the artist is preparing to be sentenced on August 13. He pleaded guilty to attempted murder in March after being one of 32 people indicted in a 140-count gang case. He agreed to five years behind bars.
“Notoriety could not shield this defendant from justice," Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said of the plea. "He used his fame to fund and direct violence, terrorizing our streets, and though we sought a much longer sentence, he will now be held to account. Brooklyn will not tolerate gangs that endanger our communities, and we remain committed to dismantling these criminal networks and holding those responsible fully accountable.”
During an interview with FOX 5 New York earlier this week, he revealed how he's feeling ahead of the sentence.
“It’s always gonna be tough,” he said. “That’s something very hard to prepare for but you build and you build and you put the right things in place and the right people in place and you just hope for the best.”
“I just want the kids and the youth to see the growth and the development with me and my label," he added. "And all my peers around me, just give my story out to the world."
Jade Thirlwall has been learning to lean into a softer approach with her voice as she steps into life as a solo performer.
The former Little Mix member shared that she’s been carving out her own sound since the British girl group decided to go on an indefinite break in 2022.
Speaking with ELLE, Jade opened up about discovering that not every track on her debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby, needed a full vocal showcase.
“That’s what I’ve discovered with this project, especially after Little Mix, is that I don’t always need to give a big vocal moment,” she said. “It’s actually been really nice to understand that part of my voice.”
She pointed to the group’s 2016 single Power, which has at times faced online comments about being a little too intense vocally.
“I’ll scroll through TikTok and see people talk about Power like, ‘These girlies are out here like, AHHH,’” she told the outlet. “Everyone trying to top each other with the loudest note for three minutes straight.”
Although Jade still loves that kind of performance, she said she’s learned the value of holding back.
“I still adore that energy, but it’s been kind of freeing to realise, babe, it doesn’t always need to end with this massive ad-lib run,” she shared.
She also mentioned that her song Angel of My Dreams was first recorded with a much bigger vocal take before she decided to go back and do it in a more relaxed, softer tone.
Jade officially dropped That's Showbiz Baby on 12 September. The record includes 14 tracks, among them IT Girl, Plastic Box, and the lead single Angel of My Dreams.
