Renowned music producer Jermaine Dupri has dropped hints about a potential collaboration involving soulful singers Ari Lennox and Muni Long, expressing his admiration for both artists and their shared appreciation for each other’s work.
On Monday (January 8), Muni Long shared snippets from a recent Instagram Live session featuring Jermaine Dupri. In a TikTok video collage titled “Ya’ll don’t understand how much I love this lady,” Muni is seen passionately singing “Made For Me” while expressing her joy for the song. Hours later, Jermaine Dupri reshared the post on Twitter with the caption: “I wanna cry watching this @arilennox [laughing emoji] cause I love you and I love making music that people really fuck with, yo @munilong we might need to put her on the sweat Remix.” He confirmed to HipHopDX that the remix referred to in the tweet is for the same song Ari Lennox was singing, with “sweat” being an insider reference between him and Muni Long.
Both Ari Lennox and Muni Long have faced personal struggles in the past, but recent updates indicate positive progress in their lives.
Muni Long took to Twitter last month to share revelations about her health, disclosing, “So apparently I’m autistic, and my free self is the version of me that I began repressing at the age of 22 because it made people highly uncomfortable.” She further explained how this repression led to lupus and emphasized the importance of expressing emotions to cope with autoimmune disease.
In a similar vein, Ari Lennox recently celebrated her ongoing sobriety, reflecting on the positive changes in her life since she embraced a healthier lifestyle a year ago. Sharing pictures of herself looking vibrant and healthy, Lennox wrote about her past reliance on alcohol to cope with fear and trauma. She expressed gratitude to her fans for sharing their sober journeys and fetes, acknowledging the emotional impact and strength within the community supporting each other’s positive choices. Lennox concluded by encouraging others, stating, “We can do this.”
With the potential collaboration brewing between Ari Lennox and Muni Long, fans can anticipate a fusion of their soulful voices and impactful narratives in the upcoming remix of “sweat.”
