The singer who inspired rapper Jay Z to name his daughter Blue Ivy has dropped a new single.
Blu Cantrell once dated Jay Z before he met Beyonce. Apparently, Jay Z was very impressed by Blu’s oral skills.

Blu’s debut album, Bittersweet, was relased in 2001. Her first single off Bittersweet, “Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!),” reached #2 on the Billboard charts and made Blu an overnight star.
Sources say Blu and Jay Z’s relationship didn’t last because she was too smart for him.
