Jamelia lashes out - Dec 04
Jamelia has started a public row with Usher and Naomi Campbell. Oh, and Pharrell. The Brummie pop star has been on the rampage recently and has chosen Usher to be the first of her targets, dubbing him ’stupid’ when asked about his love of all things bling. Usher had been pursuing the singer but after being knocked back, hooked up with terrifying supermodel Naomi Campbell who we know will relish the chance of another public argument. Next Jamelia started on N*E*R*D and The Neptunes star Pharrell Williams, who she had recently met in

Jamiela has told how a violent ex-boyfriend regularly hit her, and The Sun reports how that abusive relationship is the reason she wrote her most recent and inspiring track Thank You.
She said: "I’m thankful to him for putting me in that situation because now I’m stronger and I’d never be in that situation again.
"When I used to watch the Little Mo and Trevor scenario in EastEnders, I cried. But I was way too scared to hit him back. I still haven’t got over it.

Signed to Parlaphone aged just fifteen, Jamelia impressed record execs with a tape of self penned songs sung a-capella. Her first single, So High, was released in 1999 but it failed to chart while follow up, I Do, entered the charts but at a low position. Still just eighteen Jamelia released an album, Drama, which peaked at 39 in the charts and produced the single Money which went top five and earned the singer five MOBO nominations.
Taking time out to look after her baby daughter Teja, born in 2001, Jamelia returned to music in 2003, releasing Thank You, which stuck at number 65 in the album charts. However, despite this disappointment the accompanying single, Superstar, gave her a taste fo true pop stardom. Jamelia’s singles continued to chart well and before long she was also signed up to model for Pretty Polly and Reebok.
Three MOBO awards and three Brit nominations later Jamelia gave birth to a second daughter, Tiani, fathered by footballer Darren Byfield.
Her third album, Walk With Me, was released in 2006 and featured some quality collaborations and produced some reasonably successful singles, among them Something About You and Beware of the Dog.
Jamelia is a high profile campaigner for animal rights charity PETA and HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns with proceeds of her own fragrance donated to the cause.
