Jill Scott before and after: Singer loses 50 pounds, a man, and a record label and returns better than ever
After four years without a new record, soul singer Jill Scott is back in the game with her new album "The Light Of the Sun." She's looking better than ever, having lost 50 lbs. Springing back after a rough split from her fiance Lil' John Roberts and a messy break from her record label, Scott is focusing on what's important to her: her son and her music."The Light of the Sun" is her fourth studio album and the follow-up to Grammy nominated "The Real Thing." She's left Hidden Beach Records behind and has found a new home with Warner Bros. Music.
"I'm in a good place," she says. "I'm past caring about some things that never mattered in the first place and in love with my baby boy. I'm also unafraid. I know how much music has always meant to me, how much it means to us all, and I know there's someone out there, maybe just one someone, who can feel inspired by being brave."

Will Jill apologize for her racist soul "wincing" at an interracial couple.
Jill Scott is still a fat racist pig
Does anyone need to apologize for how they feel?
Hope she rid some of that hate she has inside. God don't like ugly. Not a fan anymore
Jill Scott is still a fat racist pig

I don't know how I feel about Jill Scott's "whince"comment.
However I know how I feel about fighting an ism with another ism.
Any weight, pun intended your comment carried, drifted away when you called her a fat pig.
Jill Scott is awesome! and very beautiful!
I would listen to Jill Scott sing with or without the weight. She is an amazing singer. Her voice is a true gift from God.
