The ‘net was set ablaze this week following news that Urban Pop group Danity Kane are reportedly reuniting.

The premium diva continues to flaunt her new slim-line figure, today sharing a shot of herself on the set of Alejandro Fernandez‘s ‘Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti’ music video. Presently on a hiatus of sorts, the 32-year-old appears as a feature on the Spanish-language single.
