She didn’t hold back on Jermaine either, telling him she’s never mentioned him while he’s busy trying to dim her light, even though he’s supposedly not self-made either. “I ain’t mention you, never threw shade! But you stay in my light, like you self-made. You could’ve reached out, you could’ve shown love, but you chose ego instead of me up and it’s sad cause, this industry cold.”

Here’s What Kehlani Previously Said About Xania
Right when Telisha Jones, aka Xania Monet, was blowing up, Kehlani shared her frustrations about A.I. and folks using it to make music. In a social media post, she said she felt bad for people trying to build a career in music while computers are taking over the space.
“Just because you can, don’t mean you should. Art is not a money grab. Music means something significant to culture, to humanity, to people. Me personally I’m going to value it that way for the rest of my life,” Kehlani wrote.
Telisha Jones Explains Why She Decided To Use A.I. To Create Music
Once Xania’s songs started going vital, Telisha Jones, the creator, sat down with Gayle King and explained why she chose to use A.I. for music. She admitted she can’t sing but said she sees artificial intelligence as a tool and she’s using it to its full potential.
“I wouldn’t call it a shortcut, because I still put in the work. Anytime something new comes about and it challenges the norm and what we’re use to […] you’re going to get strong reactions behind it. And I just fee like A.I. is the new era that we’re in. And I look at it as a tool, as a instrument.. utilize it!” Telisha explained.
