J Music: The ‘Industry Duet’

So let’s pick up where I left off–

Nick Jonas provides the perfect example of the ‘industry duet.’

  1. His people call Tinashe’s people.
  2. She record vocals over his new single “Jealous,” never actually going in the studio with him.
  3. They meet five minutes before they go to Hot 97 to promote the song.
  4. He barely knows who she is and has zero clue how to pronounce her name, and thus, calls her Tina”shee.”

Is there any other possible explanation for why he doesn’t know how to say her name? Peep it at 1:10. He then avoids saying her name for the rest of the interview.
