What Happened To R&B Singer Mýa? 

She didn't sell her soul, that's what happened! And I love her so much for that. She knows her worth as a woman and artist ❤️💪🏾

I’m inspired by Mya: the way she carries herself, her solo marriage, how she’s frugal with her money. She has totally autonomy over her life & isn’t swayed by what folks think. I respect her so much! 🥰

Love Mya! She maintained her boundaries and didn't allow the industry to change who she is at her core, a true R&B treasure that doesn't get her flowers enough, thank you for this video.

Mya's tap dancing in the My Love is Like Wo was definitely awesome!!

Mya, Aaliyah, Brandy and Monica made 1998 one of the best years of music! Not to mention Destiny’s Child’s debut. Unlike the jovial gimmicks of today, we were sounded by young fresh golden talent. PS: I wish Mya didn’t get lost in the shuffle of Ashanti’s and Beyonce’s success in 2003/2004 with her MOODRING era. The video for MY LOVE IS LIKE WO is highly slept on.

Mya definitely deserves more credit and she also deserves her flowers while she's still here

Mya is a FANTASTIC dancer. She made some MEMORABLE songs and videos. Glad she didn't sell herself short for fame. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

She has aged like fine wine. Looks better the older she gets!

Mya is one of those women that didn't let Hollywood or the music industry change her values or morals. She kept it classy and never sold her soul. Love you Mya ❤️

Fallen is literally one of my favourite songs and I’m shocked it didn’t do that well,Mya has made some great songs over the years ❤

Much respect to Mya! I’ve always loved her music & I always respected her for not falling for the mess of Hollywood.

1998 was definitely a great year for hip-hop and R&B!!

Mya's first three albums are classics!!

The multitalented Mýa deserves all her accolades and then some. This lovely lady's name has been dragged through the mud, yet she still rises & shines bright every time. Appreciate her for being such an inspiration to many of us. "Best Of Me", "My First Night With You", Coolin', & "Damage" are some of my favorites. Also, honorable mention to her peers: Aaliyah, Brandy, & Monica.🙌🏽👑❤🌹❤🌹❤

Fellow DMV native. I grew up on her since 1998. The rugrats soundtrack is still my favorite song of hers. Underrated legend 🙌🏽

Mya aged so beautifully 🤗

That stuff about Jay Z just made me roll my eyes - but doesn't surprise me. So many of these celebrities think they are gods and you must bow down and worship (and unfortunately so many do)

I Remember when Blackstreet and Mya performed Take Me There on Sister, Sister on the episode FreakNik and it was the same episode where Tia and Tyreke got back together

I've always admired her. She marches to the beat of her own drum. Unproblematic, beautiful, talented and doesn't care about the Hollyweird machine. I would say she has been very successful in life. All the best to her!

Mya is so classy. ❤️

Mya never got the accolades she deserves but she did not sell her soul for fame and fortune through it all she held her head high like a queen wearing a crown 👑👑👑 and with all do respect l admire her strength through all her endeavors in life u rock Mya❤️❤️❤️

She just made the correct step to move out of this evil industry! I'm glad she did! She has not sold her soul! She is the real deal!

Mya is always been a gorgeous fierce amazing woman and her voice and her dancing steps are truly dynamic, smooth, raw, sexy and talented she does.

Mya, Aaliyah And Monica Was My HOLY Trinity In The 90s

This year is the 25th anniversary of Mya's self-titled debut album and the 20th anniversary of her 3rd album Moodring!!

I feel like she's one of most underappreciated artist from the 90s.

Mya’s first two albums were awesome. Her album cuts were pure gems. BABY ITS YOURS, IF YOU WERE MINE, AGAIN and AGAIN, RIDE & SHAKE, THAT’S WHY I WANNA FIGHT. 😍

Her 50 cent clapback will forever be iconic.! I'm sure they went after her for that but she had to defend herself.. Great video you covered all the bases

Mya deserves more praise. I love how she’s living more of a low key lifestyle. Love the layout!

Actor Hassan Johnson from Belly, Clockers, In Too Deep and The Wire appeared in Mya's Fallen video

Mya's smash hit Case of the Ex later appeared on the compilation album Now That's What I Call Music 5

OMG this made me happy! I saw and met Mya for the first time last summer at a festival. She was the nicest person. She signed autographs and took pics with each person who was there after the show. She was so kind and humble. She sounds amazing, she looks incredible. I was like YASS girl!!! Love her!

Mya had such fun and dope music videos. MOVIN’ ON video is a callback to high school days, CASE OF THE EX had great choreography, FREE was all around retro and timeless video and MY LOVE IS LIKE WO was very well excuted and ahead of it’s time. I wish they stopped comparing Black girls together. Look how Backstreet Boys and Nsync was still successful and was seen separately. I wish Black artists had that respect. Mya’s music had a spicy/sexy twist that wasn’t polished like a Brandy or Destiny’s Child.

I recently saw her on an ad that she will be performing in Jamaica soon.

Always have had nothing but love for Mya 💯💯

Always loved Mya for being true to herself and not entertaining toxic executives or rappers in the industry, although they were doing anything to bring her down. And marrying herself is a whole vibe, since nobody is on her level anyway. Most men hate independent women, since they are impossible to control.

Yes Mya!!! Fear of flying was everything when I was in middle school

I still bump her song, Moving On with Silk the Shocker. ❤

Mýa is so talented and a true NATURAL BEAUTY.

I’m forever a Mya fan. Plus she’s beautiful ☺️

In Too Deep is a classic movie!!

Mya was & still is a striking multi talented bombshell 🥰. Absolutely love her songs Fallen & The Best of me among her other jams. 🎵💃 Life can be unfair to a well meaning spirit such as hers...hope she stays Motivated and keeps her joie de vivre 🔥💪

Real talent like her is often slept on while mediocrity reign supreme everywhere smh, idk why people think celebrities can’t downsize or have a regular job/career after fame, like do some of y’all not realize people get screwed over monetarily all the time in the industry or people make poor financial decisions so they end up broke or with very little so you either downsize and live within your means or be homeless, get a regular job/career to take care of yourself when the money ain’t rolling in like that from your music/acting or be homeless, one has to put their pride aside and do what you have too and it’s as simple as that, she was done wrong in a lot of ways by the industry and idk why so many men are trash in the industry and why men lie about sleeping with someone they haven’t, it’s pathetic and screams desperation and jay z need to get over himself just cause she wasn’t worshiping the ground he walks on doesn’t mean she wasn’t worthy, celebrities need to check their egos and so do some fans, who the hell trying to fight someone over a celebrity who doesn’t know you exist, like honestly see a shrink and take your meds to deal with the unhealthy parasocial issue your having, people I tell ya man but the best to mya

Mya said, I will keep my soul, Thank You!!!😂

I've been asleep for 24 thousand years, these really help catch me up on pop culture

Mýa is a STAR :D and deserve her flowers! I hope one day the Industry recognize everything she represented and her influence to a lot of artists from new generations.

Nothing happened to her she stepped back from the demonic ass industry and she is thriving and doing music her way

She being one of the finest woman. I've ever seen still

I've always loved Mya 😍

I love Ms. Mýa. I was obsessed w/ her debut LP. _Don't Be Afraid_ ended up being my favorite cut. _Anytime You Want Me_ is another favorite because there are certain nostalgic noises during the first 5 seconds that just takes me right on back to the 8th grade. I remember buying the first pressing w/o the _Movin' On_ remix feat. Silkk the Shocker and then I turned right around and bought the second pressing w/ the remix. I bought every magazine she was featured in, I'd do my hair like hers and I'd go to Charlotte Russe to find duplicates of her outfits (as close as I could). She's basically like a big sister to me. From her sophomore LP, _Now or Never_ ended up being my favorite cut. After 2003's _Moodring,_ (shrugs shoulders) Basically, I went through a long period of not checkin' for her. I've avoided saying this, but I believe Mýa was ambushed and sabotaged by her label. Soon as she started asking questions and basically standing up for herself, a number of shady things started happening. I do not believe that her label "accidentally" leaked/released her _Liberation_ LP. I believe they had it out for her, internally and needed a reason to sabotage her effort. I also believe that they ambushed her w/ several rappers. All of that unnecessary stress and overwhelm accumulated drama which led to the rollout of her getting shelved. They knew what they were doing. I never bought the "accidental" nonsense. The mid to late aughts was a tricky period because free music downloads were at an all time high and labels were merging and laying folks off left & right. Anyway, I watch Mýa lives here on RU-vid and we have so much in common. I found out that she quit drinking soda around the same time that I quit drinking soda (1998/1999). Oh my God! Like I haven't had a soda in 24 years. It just dawned on me. I also found out that she used to read LP credits and say, "Who is Debra Killings? I like her." I did & said the exact same thing. We like and feel the same way about R&B music. I never had a friend who liked music, overall, the way I did. I've always been kinda extreme, but hey...it's all good. Anyway, once I started checkin' for Mýa again, I was able to catch up on the music that I missed. I'm all caught up nah and her more recent efforts are dope. _Space and Time, Ready For Whatever_ and _You Got Me_ are a few of my favorites. Creating and handling music independently seems like a huge burden nowadays. If it's too much for Mýa then I think she should leave it alone and explore other options. Ms. India Arie recently went on record and revealed that she was basically grinding it out and not receiving the return that she deserved. Great video, Sis.

Always been a huge fan of Mya!

wow i can’t believe fallen didn’t do well. i love that song 😢

She aged so well ❤

Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs and rapper Saafir appeared in Mya's My First Night with You video

Shes so beautiful and talented 💖

Oh, just noticed you changed your name. Was thinking I had never heard of “juicy pop” but your voice, I would recognise anywhere 😊❤

One of my fav singers. I knew every song including ones u said failed to top the chart. Tbh I didn't even know fallin, and riding failed. I thought them songs was just as hot as the others. Damn it, now I got to go listen to some mya.

Mya needs a Verzuz battle with Amerie

I love Mya!!! Honestly, I think she sounds better now than she did then ☺️

She is Performing today in Baytown,Texas for Juneteenth!! We are so honored, excited and welcome her with open arms! Honestly, I can’t believe I’m about to watch her perform 🎉 FREE in Concert with the whole community and others that will come to Celebrate the special day. Juneteenth! WE Love You Mya! I cannot wait to hear her sing 🎤

I love maya! She was the IT girl and still is !

I love Mya! I always have ❤ I love that song “Fallin” & I hate that it wasn’t a bigger hit,& “Best Of Me” (original) was a bop! She’s so underrated and unproblematic & gorgeous ❤ These industry dudes be soooo pressed when they can’t get what they want,so they gotta make up rumors smdh. Mya is a queen!! I love that she’s not letting these dusties get to her 👏🏽👏🏽😉😍

Love Mya!! She’s come to New Zealand numerous times and even made it to Rarotonga😍

Mya is classy.

That clapback at 50 Cent is the definition of EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 😂. Overall, glad she's doing well for herself and not lower her standards for this wicked industry.

Mya is stunningly beautiful and “Girls Dem Sugar” is one of my all time favorite songs. I’m so glad you decided to do a video on her!

Here in Australia,I work for a pharmaceutical company called Chemist Warehouse. A few years ago we had an end of year staff party with at least 1000 people from all departments in attendance. In the middle of the DJs routine,he stopped the music & introduced a special guest,& guess who it was? That's right! None other than MYA!!!!! How in the hell did our company get her to perform her 45min set for us? I wasn't complaining & it was a treat no doubt. Got to shake her hand after as well as a photo with her! She was pregnant too Was the most unsuspecting moment as I thought I would never see or meet her ever in my life,yet here she was at my work function! Still a highlight! She still got it too! Made the night perfect!

Still love listening to Mya's music, Jam to it every day!

i hope mya knows how we see her. i see her as a big artist i always have. i always waited for a song to drop i can wait 10+ years for her

She is so underrated. She should be right up there with Beyoncé, Rihanna & all of the others. She deserved so much better.

Fab love Mya she's so humble and stood her ground through the BS!

loooooooove Mya since high school!!!! SO SUPERIOR

She didn't fall for the bull, that's what. I have a friend that worked with Mya back in the day. ♥️. I loved me some Mya!

I saw her perform at La La Polsa in the 90's. Such a huge talent. In her 20 min set she danced, tap danced, sang her music and covers. I'd go see her in Vegas any day. She's pure 🔥🔥

I love the new makeover! Same great content!

I am glad Mya did not sell her soul❤I commend her for keeping her intergrity.People should be able to share their talent with the world without selling their souls❤❤❤

Fallen is my favourite Mya song, my first single i bought on Amazon. Sad it didn't do as well

loved the album fear of flying i had it it was awesome mya isa good singer all around amazing artist

MYA LEFT DA GAME 💯 she peeped it and wasn’t with it

Always loved Mya🥰❤️

Love you Mya! Here are your flowers. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

i seen her perform twice back when once at club in jersey then ocean city,md she's stunning

I will never forget trying to learn that case of the ex video dance moves..... I loved that video! And that's when I became a fan of Mya and have been ever since....

Great video! I seen Mya when she was on tour with Mario she did great 😊 always loved her style

She is so pretty!!! I've always live mya

She is living her best VEGAN LIFE!

Lock you down and Ridin are my absolute favorite Mya songs besides ponytail ❤

fortunately for her, she had PRINCE in her ear early into her career. Not only gave her a different mindset over life, but also a different mindset on her career. She has full ownership of most, if not all, of her masters.

Every human being that made her feel less than or LIED on her will pay on the other side. She will continue to rise as she is now. Many in the music industry are low vibrational. The sheeps (fans) who listen to that jazz are no better either. God and universe is riding for her.

May is a real legend, without selling her soul. That’s the type of artists who have my respect ✊ 🙏🏻❤️

I got chills watching this she really is apart of my childhood memories and she doesn't get enough credit.

Another great one .

i don’t understand how she didn’t blow up like crazy cuz i was very young listening to her and her voice is just so sweet and innocent

I could only imagine how big she would’ve been…. me being a hardcore Mya fan, I knew a lot of these facts. thank u. there isn’t another artist like her, I really do like her. her music, her spirit. she is so slept on.

I love me some Mýa my favorite album is the first album and the second album was OK the third album a mood ring that’s my favorite album. I love it. I am definitely a fan of Mýa.

I seen mya live at the Los Angeles pride festival in 2022 she has a lovely voice she was performing with Christina Aguilera

Love these stories

Thank you for this video. Mya is class personified ❤

Always been one of my favorites ❤she’s so amazing in every way 😍🙌🏽🫶🏽

Fallen was my favorite.
