Ta’Rhonda Jones: From Empire to The Never Ever Mets – A Multifaceted Talent

Ta’Rhonda Jones, known for her role on Empire, has landed a new gig as the host of OWN’s The Never Ever Mets. But her journey to this role is a unique one, rooted in her love for Hip-Hop.

Jones revealed that she has been rapping since she was just 10 or 11 years old. Acting, on the other hand, was not something she had considered until her brother informed her about an opportunity on Empire. Initially, she thought she would be rapping for Terrence Howard, but the rest is history as she landed the role of Porsha Taylor on the hit show.

Her latest hosting role on The Never Ever Mets came about because the producers saw a video of her rapping in the studio and were impressed by her talent. Jones believes that her music is what opened the door for this new opportunity.

Reflecting on her love for Hip-Hop, Jones shared a funny story about getting in trouble with her grandma for singing explicit lyrics as a child. Despite the scolding, her passion for music only grew stronger. Her first CD, Destiny’s Child’s The Writing’s on the Wall, solidified her love for R&B and Hip-Hop.

With her diverse talents and infectious personality, Ta’Rhonda Jones is sure to bring a fresh and exciting energy to The Never Ever Mets, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.
