The Evolution of Jill Scott

Scott recalled how, while looking for a record deal, a trainer told her she’d never sell if she didn’t lose weight. “It just made me hungry,” she told ESSENCE in 2007. “I’m not in bad health, but I’d like to be in great health. So that means a little more walking, and if I happen to lose weight because of that, then I ain’t gonna be mad at all. If you like it, you like it and if you don’t, don’t criticize. Be helpful.”
