MANY laughed at 'Basketball Wives' star Kenya Bell's music career, but it appears she gets the last laugh by landing a 'legit' music record deal with Bungalo Records...
“I am excited to work with Bungalo Records on this distribution deal and can’t wait for the world to hear my music. It has been a lifelong dream to record an album and share my passion of singing with the world,” Kenya said on her deal.
Kenya’s deal is actually the first of its kind. “The distribution deal is unprecedented: No other reality television personality associated with a franchise of its kind, has successfully signed a major deal to release music,” reports state.
Kenya's single, “Hate Me,” an Evelyn Lozada diss track (click Pink for more) will be out December 11, and that it was actually her Basketball Wives co-stars’ criticism last season that fueled her and motivated her to lock down this deal.
Kenya, “I was floored [when Bungalo called me], I was like, ‘Really? Didn’t the basketball wives tell me I had no chance?’ It felt so good to me, obviously they believe that I have something, I have talent, and for me that’s just amazing. I was doubting everything I did before, and I’m learning to not doubt myself no matter what is said. I learned to listen to criticism and change it for the better, but I’m still going to believe in myself and believe I can make this thing happen. It was shocking when I first showed [my co-stars] the video and they were like ‘Eh, what is that??’ like it was the worst thing ever.” But she says that just served to push her even further. “I’m still writing my own music and working with Jazzy Faye and Young Money and I’m doing even better stuff than before. My co-stars just made me better.”
