Yaaas!
It’s a known fact that Jazmine Sullivan has one of the most soulful voices in the industry. Though she doesn’t get the credit she deserves, she can belt out with the best of them. Since she stepped on the scene with her 2008 hit, “Need U Bad,” she has proven that she has one of the best voices in the game.
For as long as Jazmine has been in the industry, she’s had a voluptuous figure. But recently, the “Need U Bad” singer dropped a ton of weight and looks completely different. You may have to do a double take…

Following the success of her grammy-nominated, debut album, Fearless, and even after her second album, Love Me Back, Jazmine went on a hiatus. We rarely heard from her or saw her. According to the singer, she needed to take a step back to shift her focus.
“It was a lot of different things that made me feel like I needed to take a break. And it was a lot of personal things,” she said in an interview. But when Jazmine resurfaced with her 2015 album, Reality Show, it was revealed that she was in an abusive relationship.

In an Instagram post, Jazmine admitted to her abusive past, noting that she used to walk around Pier 1 Imports for hours just to get out of the house and away from him. “I just remember the feeling of feeling helpless, and just feeling bad and wanting to be lifted out of that space,” she said in an interview.
Getting out of that relationship also gave her a boost in self-esteem as she told fans, “Real quick y’all… IM BIG!!!!… I’m a regular woman. My weight fluctuates depending on what I decide to put down my throat that week.” Well, look at her now…
