There’s more to Nick Cannon’s reunion with maybe on-again former love Jessica White than a steamy cover for his upcoming mix tape, “Raw&B.”
The jack-of-all-trades star teased a “big announcement” earlier this week, and for once, it’s not a new baby. Sources told Page Six he and White have collaborated on a new short film that the latter directed.
“Jessica wrote and directed a short film and the two of them are the only ones in it,” our source said.
Cannon “gets very R-rated” on this project and it’s “completely different from anything [he] has ever done. He’s in a very honest place and he’s grown up so much,” the source said.
Another source familiar with the project described his music as “his therapy.” “He’s grown so much as an artist and the music is so good. He’s telling the truth… He has a very unconventional love life, and he’s living his truth and speaking about it,” they said.
Cannon teased his “Raw&B” mixtape with “another special announcement coming soon” earlier this week and referred to White as “My Muse.”
It’s unclear if Cannon and his muse are officially back together, but spies spotted them at Upper East Side jiggle joint Sapphire in March, where she responded, “I’m with Nick,” when guys at the club introduced themselves to her, sources said.
Meanwhile, the raunchy mixtape is a precursor to a full album that Cannon’s planning to release in the summer, and our sources told us White isn’t the only collaborator he worked with on the project. Chris Brown and singer Brandy are also featured, we hear.
Reps for White and Cannon did not get back to us.
