Coco Jones made a stop at The Breakfast Club as she’s making the rounds to promote her new album, Why Not More? At the start of her sit-down, host Charlemagne voiced his criticisms for Jones’ label, Def Jam. During the interview, he said that the label sent her album over at the last minute, giving The Breakfast Club hosts no time to prepare.
“They sent your album at 7:44 AM this morning,” he shared, as co-hosts Jess Hilarious and Loren LoRosa looked on. “I said ‘no, we should cancel the interview because it’s not fair to you as an artist and not fair to us as hosts.’”
He further pointed out that fans will wonder why interviewers ask about everything “but the music,” and he blamed the label. He said the radio hosts had no window of time to listen to her album because they had to be on air.
“We’re doing a show,” he added. “Who’s got time to listen to the album?”
Coco Jones was receptive to Charlamagne’s comments, while also defending her label.
“I only got the ‘right now,’” Jones said. “I’m going on tour right after I drop this album so I still wanna talk about it. I can share what I know, and ya’ll can listen to it when you get to listen to it.”
Jones has been busy; lead single “Here We Go (Uh Oh)” was nominated for a pair of Grammys back in February and she dropped the singles “Taste” and “You” in the lead-up to Why Not More? In addition to her music, her hit Peacock series Bel-Air has been renewed for a fourth and final season.
After Charlamagne voiced his grievances, Jones said she’d stick up for her team. “They do have my back,” she said. “I feel I gotta speak for my team! I’m not gonna let you just say that!”
“They need to do better by you,” Charlemagne responded frankly. “They didn’t send the album until 7:44 this morning! This is a radio station! You’re an artist!”
Why Not More? dropped April 25 and the album’s tour kicks off May 6 in Philadelphia at The Fillmore.
