In 2000, Musiq Soulchild blended R&B and neo-soul to craft his debut studio album Aijuswanaseing. In honor of the album’s recent 25th anniversary, a special edition of Aijuswanaseing is being released as a 2LP “peacock opaque” vinyl set.
Musiq Soulchild signed to Def Soul, the R&B division of Def Jam Records, in 1998. Two years later, Aijuswanaseing peaked at number 24 on the Billboard 200 and number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart. In 2001, the record was certified platinum by RIAA.

Last year, Soulchild performed the album in full at the Roots Picnic in his hometown of Philadelphia. Speaking to The Philadelphia Inquirer, he shared: “The fact that I was able to perform only songs from the first album, something I’ve never done, not even when I first released the album… was actually a milestone for me.”
The album spawned three singles: “Just Friends,” “Love,” and “Girl Next Door.” “Love” particularly resonated with fans, and spent 22 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. While there have been numerous interpretations of the songs’ lyrics, Soulchild has his own perspective. He explained, “I had a very traumatic upbringing, childhood trauma. So what people don’t understand is they think it’s a romantic song, or they think that it’s a gospel song. It’s actually intentionally neither. If anything, it’s closer to therapy, really.”
He also reflected on the organic process behind the first album’s creation. “I didn’t really plan on making an album,” he said. “I didn’t expect to be signed to Def Jam. I wasn’t looking to be, you know, a super international star or anything. I was just trying to get some ideas out. I was working with my writing partner, Carvin Haggins, at the time. We recorded some songs. I didn’t think much of it.”
The success of Aijuswanaseing propelled Soulchild’s follow-up record, Juslisen, to number one on the Billboard 200 upon release in 2002.

We previously reported that Kylie Jenner is facing two lawsuits from former housekeepers.
There is a new lawsuit. This one is worse.
A former personal chef alleges that her demanding and dangerous workload caused a miscarriage.
She says that she was underpaid, wrongfully terminated, and falsely accused of wrongdoing for her troubles.
A third lawsuit has hit the makeup mogul
On Monday, June 22, a former personal chef — whose name remains undisclosed — filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior County.
In the documents, she alleges that she worked 11-to-12-hour shifts five days a week, including physically demanding tasks that may sound to many to be well outside the expectations of a personal chef.
According the Los Angeles Times, the woman says that she began working for Kylie in November of 2024.
One month later, she informed her supervisors — who are named as co-defendants in the lawsuit — that she was pregnant.
She told them that she “required reasonable accommodations to protect her health and pregnancy.”
On New Year’s Eve 2024, when she was about 4 months pregnant, supervisors allegedly demanded that she “lift and transport heavy food items across the street and uphill without assistance.”
The lawsuit says that she “became dizzy, began choking and gasping for air, and required assistance from security personnel, who intervened by providing water and aid.”
The following February, for Stormi’s birthday, she says that she was forced to work the Palm Springs event, but did not receive “adequate support.” She describes being ignored by managers.
“Due to exhaustion and overwhelming physical strain, [she] broke down emotionally in the bathroom during the event,” the lawsuit reads.
“That evening, [she] experienced extreme physical exhaustion and heaviness throughout her body as a result of the prolonged and intense workload,” the documents continue. This would have dire consequences.

She suffered a tragic miscarriage
The next morning, she had experienced such severe blood loss that she sought emergency medical care.
At a nearby hospital, the lawsuit reads, she was “informed that there was no detectable heartbeat and that she had lost her unborn child.”
According to the filing, the woman informed her bosses of the miscarriage.
Days later, she was allegedly “falsely accused of leaving the kitchen and refrigerator in disarray following the Palm Springs event.”
In addition to further hemorrhaging, she developed severe depression and emotional distress. But the documents say that her supervisors were less than sympathetic.
“Stop it, just stop it,” managers allegedly told the woman. “You are upsetting Kylie. You are making her depressed.”
(It is unclear if the manager was conveying Kylie’s wishes. As with other lawsuits, it seems conceivable that Kylie’s attorneys may argue that managers acted without her knowledge.)
The former personal chef is seeking damages in an unspecified quantity.
In addition to the pregnancy discrimination, accommodation failures, and harassment, she argues that she was misclassified as an independent contractor, not paid on time or in proportion to hours worked. And she says that she was wrongfully terminated.
That all sounds awful. It will be enlightening to see how — and if — Kylie responds. It’s also possible that she’ll settle quietly, paying the money with whatever she’s gotten for endorsing Meta’s dork-ass AI slop pervert glasses for losers.

Former Vanderpump Rules star Tom Sandoval is no stranger to controversy.
In fact, his name has become almost synonymous with scandal in the years since the “Scandoval” rocked the Bravo community.
But while fans and critics have come to expect unstable behavior from Sandoval, footage of the restaurateur allegedly shoving his ex-girlfriend’s father into a lit firepit is no less shocking.
The alleged shove, which reportedly happened on June 3, occurred during an argument involving Sandoval, his ex, Victoria Lee Robinson’s dad, Will Robinson.
Security cam footage shows Sandoval arguing with Will and Victoria, who were living with him at the time.
He seems to become even more upset upon realizing that Victoria is recording the argument on her phone.
When Sandoval seemingly tries to grab the phone from Victoria’s hand, Will intervenes by grabbing Sandoval around the waist, leading Sandoval to the shove that causes Will to stumble into the fire.
Thankfully, it appears that no one was seriously injured.
The trio then rushes inside, where the verbal altercation continues.
Tom called the cops on June 3, alleging that Victoria struck him and Will threatened him and punched a hole in a door.
Sandoval was granted a temporary restraining order, and a judge has ordered both Robinsons to move out of the house.
The temporary orders reportedly require Victoria and her father to remove only their essential personal belongings before vacating the residence.
They have also been ordered to remain at least 100 yards away from Sandoval, his home, his workplace and his vehicle.
The orders further prohibit either of them from possessing firearms while the restraining orders remain in effect.
A hearing is scheduled for July 16, when a judge will determine whether longer-term protection is warranted.
The former Vanderpump star — who has since gone on to appear in shows like the aptly named House of Villains — has not yet publicly commented on the situation.
Sandoval reached new levels of infamy in 2023, when the world learned that he had cheated on Ariana Madix with her longtime friend Raquel Leviss.
These days, Ariana is hosting Love Island USA while Sandoval is continuing to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
