As avid ‘Housewives’ fans know, the platform has seen a number of its Wives make chart-hungry forays into music.

From Kim Zolciak‘s and Kandi Burruss‘ ‘Tardy for the Party‘ to Countess Luann‘s ‘Money Can’t Buy You Class’ the Housewives’ have offered much to dance to (and laugh about) since bursting onto the small screen a decade ago.

Today, NeNe Leakes has learned that she has joined the long list of chart-hopefuls after a producer named RemixgodSuede turned one of her more unforgettable ‘Housewives’ moments into a jam named ‘You Ain’t Gotta Job.’

Why it’s going viral?

J. Cole isn’t just pushing the envelope lyrically with new album ‘KOD,’ he’s “going there” with the visuals too.

In a masterstroke move, the rapper managed to secure the services of Kevin Hart in the video for the song ‘Kevin’s Heart.’

Not to be mistaken for “just another cameo,” Hart’s appearance is noteworthy because the song makes overt reference to his very real cheating scandal.

And it’s not something the accompanying clip shies away from.

Hart is seen dealing with the repercussions of his actions, including being given the cold shoulder from passers by. The end take-away? To “choose Wisely.”

Indeed, after bursting onto the scene aged just 12, she rocketed straight to the upper echelon of the charts and looked to have the world at her feet; until a legal wrangle with her then-label saw her unable to release an album of new music for 10 years.

And while she’s been liberated from that drama and even gone on to start her own label (in partnership with Interscope), she’s celebrating all that made her journey. The ‘Leaks, Covers, & Mixtapes’… literally…on tour.
