“Oh yeah, most definitely,” the 30-year-old R&B vocalist says with a laugh. “I got a lot of hate mail, younowhamsayin, to my MySpace page, primarily from my female fans.”
Titled “I’m Cheatin,’” it’s the first single from his latest album, “Sketches of a Man.” It’s lyrics, like those of many songs that came before it, are being misinterpreted.
“The actual song is about me and my girlfriend,” he explains, “and it turns out that my girlfriend is very conservative, you know. She has a conservative personality. But she creates another personality for me when she actually lets her hair down a little bit and she turns into, you know, my freak in the sheets — for lack of a better term, younowhamsayin.”
Aside from me being totally and completely ANNOYED with how the interviewer put “younowwhamsayin” in the interview, I thank him (Dwele) for clearing that up. I love the song but for some reason, it wasn’t clicking all the way for me. I’ve caught the video a few times on VH1Soul and it still never really hit that he was saying “I’m cheating on my GIRL, girl, girl, girl with my GIRL“. Buuuut that was my blonde moment & I know I’m not the only one!
