During the interview, K-Ci reveals that him and Dalvin had to beg to be in the group. He recalls, at the time, he was just 16-years-old in Baltimore, Maryland doing the “gospel thing” when JoJo gave him a call and let him hear a demo over the phone. Instantly, K-Ci asked to be in the group and his brother said no. JoJo explained, “He had a group, the gospel group, Little Cedrick And The Hailey Singers, so I was always in his shadow.”

According to Dalvin, their hometown just started to embrace the idea of Jodeci in present day. In addition, K-Ci recalled a time where Mary J. Blige got onstage and snatched the microphone from him, mid-song to warn a fan to not touch her man anymore. K-Ci says that was the last straw. Briefly, Dalvin touched on his relationship with T-Boz from TLC.
