✨ A quick note for everyone: there’s a viral fake video edit making the rounds that falsely suggests a reunion performance with Jody Watley. To be clear — that video is not real.
What’s circulating is old Jody Watley solo concert footage (2017) combined with the original recording of “A Night To Remember” — which Jody Watley originally sang on. This misleading edit is causing some confusion, so we wanted to set the record straight.
✅ Jody Watley has not reunited with Shalamar.
✅ She continues to shine as an independent, Grammy-winning solo artist.
✅ Her brand-new album “Let’s Dance Vol. 1 – Hit Them Beats” is out now and just debuted at #1 🎶💃🏾
Thank you to all the fans who always support the authentic artistry. Please remember to use discernment with what you see online. 💫

✅ Fact check. Jody has not reunited with Shalamar.
✅ Report & move on. Don’t reshare — it spreads the fake further.
✅ Support the real. Stream Let’s Dance Vol. 1 – Hit Them Beats 💃🏾🎶
