Jessie J is quickly proving herself a jack of all trades.

Indeed, beyond her powerful vocal pipes, it appears the singer knows how to throw down on the dance-floor too. Case in point the video for her newest single ‘Burnin’ Up’ – the latest cut to be lifted from new album ‘Sweet Talker’ (due October 13th).

The clip, which was choreographed by Jennifer Lopez‘s former flame Casper Smart, sees the Brit belter werk it with a troop of dancers.

They already share an ex-husband in producer The Dream, and now- in a move that brings the pair even “closer”, R&B singers Nivea and Christina Milian also find themselves sharing an ex-lover in rapper Lil Wayne.

The end result? A whole lotta confusion that’s left Nivea anything but impressed by Ms. Milian, who she fears will only add more of that to the mix if she and Wayne’s relationship sees the ‘Dip it Low’ singer have his baby.

Find out why the ‘Complicated’ singer had to say on the matter below…

When did it become a crime to call someone out for not writing their own rhymes?

As she prepares for to relaunch her debut album ‘The New Classic‘, the machine built to turn Iggy Azalea into a superstar has been thrown under a microscope by rapper Rah Digga this week…and what she she claims to have found was anything but ‘Fancy‘.
