Before Grammy-winning artist Priscilla Renea Hamilton — known as Muni Long — was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for best R&B song, she was a hit songwriter who wrote songs for major artists like Rihanna and Mariah Carey.
Reflecting on her songwriting roots, she said there was a time when she felt content writing for others, but eventually realized she wanted more.
"There's a narrative that they tell you as a songwriter, if you want to be an artist, you know, you write these songs, you get a number one. You make all this money, songwriting is where the money's at. I bought into that for a really long time until I realized, like, I did all the things you said, and it's not taking me where I want to go, so I quit. I'm going to focus on me," she said.
In 2022, Kylie Jenner gave birth to her second baby, a son named Wolf — and then famously changed his name to Aire. Jenner revealed that she felt pressured to sign the birth certificate and chose the name in haste, instantly regretting it. And it turns out some degree of regret over a baby name occurs in nearly 1 in 10 moms, according to a survey from BabyCenter.
