"I think Lily’s wicked. She’s enjoying being young and it’s refreshing. It would be lovely if she didn’t change but there are some things on the album that aren’t suitable for young ears."

The singer’s oldest kid has apparently already been asking questions about drugs. "Teja was being crazy and someone asked her if she was on drugs. I did reprimand them. If you don’t have children you don’t understand," she said. "I told her some people do this but I don’t agree with it."

Jamelia performed live for the first time in two years - Aug 25, 2006
Stunning singer Jamelia performed live for the first time in two years - and it seems she got complete and utter stage-fright.
The R&B star was so nervous about singing in front of the cameras that she forgot the words to her songs nine times, according to The Sun. And at one point, she had to take ten minutes out of the show, reportedly to pull herself together.

Introducing her favourite song - Coldplay classic Clocks - she told the crowds at the AOL Sessions gig in London: "This song is beautiful, so I’m going to perform it." But after six attempts, she had to give up and take a break. The hit singer did eventually come back to do it properly, however.

"I just kept forgetting the words," Jamelia later told the paper. "I wanted to cry. My boyfriend Darren was giving me grief, telling me to hurry up as he was missing the Arsenal game." The 24-year-old singer has recently been spending more time with her footballer partner and her two daughters Teja and Tiani.

She releases her new album Walk With Me on September 25.

Jamelia gave birth to baby girl - Oct 24, 2020
Jamelia gave birth to an 8lb 8oz baby girl last Friday - after enduring 21 hours of labour. The beautiful star and her footballer boyfriend announced the arrival of daughter Tiani a few hours later. The 24-year-old said: "It was like giving birth to a sumo wrestler." Tiani, who made her entrance at 4.27am, is Jamelia and Gillingham striker Darren Byfield’s first child together.

Jamelia has another daughter, four-year-old Teja, from a previous relationship. The "Superstar" singer said: "Darren, Teja and I are over the moon." The name Tiani comes from a Greek word meaning princess. It is also said to be short for Tatiana, which means fairy queen, graceful princess and rainbow. Jamelia had been hoping for a girl throughout her pregnancy.

Last month she revealed: "Every boy’s name I suggest, Darren can think of a footballer with the same name and he doesn’t want to name his child after a footballer. "So I’m just hoping for a sister for Teja. At least we can agree on girl’s names."
