And instead accepted the offer where in 2000 she became the first artist signed to by J-Records. On 2001, she released her selft titled debut album releasing two singles in it. After her announcement to be apart from J-Records she went on a long hiatus no until 2004 where she re emerged as the first lady of G Unit, her new record label.
