After turning down the role of Hannah Montana to focus on her music career, the singer made her debut as Hailey in the 2006 film and also appeared in the family comedy. VR
Although she made history as the youngest solo artist to score a #1 hit with “Leave (Get Out)” in 2004, JoJo's career stalled when her record label refused to release her new music as she began her acting endeavors. This sparked a years-long battle as the 18-year-old fought in court to be released from her contract. His case with Blackground was finally settled in 2013, though Jojo later told UpRoxx, “I didn't get any money. I didn't get any damages or anything for it. I just left so I could sign another record deal. it was like, 'Let's go!' I was free.”
He re-recorded his first two albums and singles under Blackground, launched his own record label through a partnership with Warner Records, and released his critically acclaimed album. It's good to know.
In 2021, she announced her engagement to the actor Dexter Darden.
