Muni Long Drops Video for #1 Single “Made For Me”

GRAMMY® Award-winning R&B sensation Muni Long releases the captivating music video for her latest chart-topping single, “Made For Me.”

The track, produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan Michael Cox, follows the success of her previous hit, “Hrs & Hrs,” securing the #1 spot at R&B Radio.

Exploring 21st-century dating and A.I. themes, Muni, alongside directors Des Gray and Trinidad James, presents her most daring visual yet. In the storyline, she plays a not-so-mad scientist crafting the perfect man, embodied by co-star Luke James, despite his existing commitments. The video adds another layer of allure to Muni Long’s undeniable staying power on the charts.

Muni says of the release, “I wanted to have fun with this video and really think outside of the box. It’s my little nod to A.I. mixed with Frankenstein. If you want to find the perfect person in a limited dating pool, you might just have to create them! It’s only science fiction for now but with how fast technology is changing could this be our reality someday?”

[WATCH] Dr. Umar Johnson Sparks Controversy With Views On Promiscuity, Rappers And Colorism

Screen Shot 2024 01 17 at 12.17.51 PM

In a recent appearance on the “Highly Initiated” podcast, social media influencer Dr. Umar Johnson stirred up more controversy with his statements linking emotional damage to sexual promiscuity in women. The podcast, which aired on January 14, featured Dr. Umar expressing his views on the impact of emotional trauma on relationships.

During the discussion, Dr. Umar shared, “If you are traumatized, if you are emotionally damaged; you are promiscuous.” He went on to say that emotionally traumatized individuals seek constant validation from others, leading to behaviors he associates with promiscuity.

His main argument is the belief that children need both parents for emotional and psychological development, emphasizing the significance of a father figure. Dr. Umar stated, “If a woman’s father loved her, she won’t have trouble loving a man,” suggesting that a father’s presence in a child’s life is crucial for healthy emotional development.

According to Dr. Umar, women who had their fathers actively involved in their lives “operate in the dating game completely different” compared to those who did not. He implies that the absence of a father figure may contribute to trust issues and a lack of confidence in navigating relationships for some women.

His remarks have sparked discussions around personal experiences, parenting, and the impact on romantic relationships.

Critics point out that attributing promiscuity solely to emotional trauma may perpetuate harmful stereotypes and stigmatize individuals who have experienced trauma. It raises concerns about the potential for victim-blaming and reinforces outdated beliefs about women’s behavior based on their upbringing. He also spoke on rappers showing color preferences including Jay-Z and ‘woke’ black conscious communities.
