B2K was already famous at this time, that's why they made Jhene related to Lil Fizz even though she really wasn't, it was a marketing tool used to boost her popularity.

[@stephaniebrown9974]

IMX maybe but not immature. I think everyone has their time on the spotlight with huge fan bases. She’s just more relevant than them now. I prefer her now anyways. I’m glad it took her time to blow up, because I don’t know if I could have appreciated her as much as a teenager. It more about boy bands then.

[@NicheAtNight]

@@stephaniebrown9974 I agree to an extent. I believe it's different with Jhene because her music can stand with the times. I still play her stuff from 2012 with the same relevancy... So do many others

I wouldn’t say that I’ll just say she blew up at a time when they weren’t hot anymore the groups split and been grown by the time she came out

[@mayas3096]

It’s sad to see how much more enthusiastic and upbeat she was back then. She either grew out of it or this was before a lot of the bad shit she talks about in her songs started happening.

[@Fourwindsofsuccess]

She was like 14 years old here, possibly because I know she was born in 1988. Someone mentioned in the comments that this was 2002, in the early 2000s. I know the topics of her songs-meaning the rebranded Jhené-have always been dark, melancholic, and about her substance abuse, trauma from men who were players or who cheated a lot, or men who only wanted sexual relationships with no commitment. Then there’s her trauma of losing her brother Miygai to cancer, which struck a deep nerve. I also read somewhere that she experienced homelessness and was broke, and then she ended up pregnant with her daughter. After that, she really started to focus on her music to provide for herself and her daughter. I know she experimented with drugs for a long time, which is why she sings about cannabis and its different strains, LSD, psilocybin, and why she battled with her inner demons. Her songs tell it all, even though they’re metaphorical and clever and all that. She also mentioned in blogs or old articles that she had a gun held to her head while staying with one of her grandparents during the LA riots in the '90s, which adds another layer to her experiences. I think she might’ve been going through things back then, like not being able to artistically express herself and playing the backseat with her career. I also know she struggled with not being close to her father at all. She mentioned she had trauma before her brother passed, but his passing made everything more complicated for her.
