Janelle Monáe Trends For NSFW Video Following Album Announcement
Janelle Monáe announced her first album in five years Thursday (May 11) titled The Age of Pleasure. While fans were excited to hear more music from the Grammy-nominated artist following her release of “Float,” many flocked to the comment section to gush over the singer’s sexy album cover where she was topless. Fans filled the comment section with heart-eye emojis and fire emojis, while some questioned her “new vibe.”
“What happened to the tuxedo?,” one fan asked.
Day one fans know that Monáe has been very open and honest about her sexuality. Despite choosing to cover up on red carpets, she chose to show a different side of herself with this new album cover.
Erykah Badu even hopped into the comment section and approved writing, “Fantastic [fire emoji].”
She shortly trended once again to celebrate her album announcement, which looks to be at a private event where she pulled up her crop top exposing her breasts.
