Video: Shanell Goes Back To The 80’s With Aubrey O’Day
Via Rap-Up:
When she’s not dedicating time to her Young Money family, Shanell is lending a hand to other artists including her friend Aubrey O’Day. The singer-songwriter dueted with the former Danity Kane member on a cover of Eddie Murphy’s 1985 hit “Party All the Time.”
Now Aubrey is planning to keep the party going with a solo album, and Shanell drops a few hints as to what it may sound like. “She loves the ’80s and she’s kind of a I-love-everybody type of fun girl, so it’ll probably be along those lines. Just fun music, dance music,” she tells Rap-Up TV.

Shanell Clears Up Wayne Rumors
Via MTV.com
Lil Wayne may have an impending jail sentence, but in recent days some news about the MC has set the Internet chatter ablaze: Does he have another baby on the way?
The Cash Money MC has been spotted attending events and snuggling with a new artist on his Young Money label named Shanell. The Massachusetts-born/Atlanta-raised songstress (real name: Shanell Woodgett), sister of former Danity Kane member D. Woods, began as a background dancer for artists like Kandi Burress, Petey Pablo and Ne-Yo before deciding to write songs. Teaming with her high school friend and producer Bangladesh, Shanell recorded a demo tape and aimed to become an artist herself along with writing for other people. She met Wayne while serving as a back-up dancer for Ne-Yo during the Up Close and Personal Tour (which featured the rapper along with Chris Brown) and eventually passed the rapper Bangladesh’s beat for “A Milli,” which became a huge street hit for the Young Money leader. Soon after, Shanell joined Lil Wayne’s artist enclave and began recording, touring and performing her single “Play in My Band” as well as co-writing songs for Wayne.
Now, as she preps her as-yet-untitled debut album, Shanell said the rumors about whether she’s dating Lil Wayne have run rampant but have no basis in reality.
“Basically it came from a corny rumor that escalated,” Shanell told MTV News. “First I was dating him, then I was his girlfriend, then we were getting married, then we were settling down and now I’m pregnant. It’s so foolish we’ve haven’t paid it any attention.”
So what of the widely circulated photo where the two are hugging?
“We’re taking a picture,” she said.
The singer-songwriter says that the dating rumors were fine, but the pregnancy chatter was not.
“All the rest of the rumors were kinda funny except that one,” she admitted. “When my mother called me like, ‘Um?,’ [I was] like, ‘No! Are you serious?’ I don’t care about the rumors, but I just want people to know that I’m not pregnant. I’ve got an album coming out, I’m a dancer, I’m in shape and children are not anywhere in my future.”
Lil Wayne agrees.
“Let me clear up this rumor, man: Shanell is not pregnant from me,” Wayne said in a serious tone on a Ustream video last weekend. “Shanell isn’t even pregnant! Period. Clear that up right now, man. Everybody talking about Shanell pregnant by … No, she not even pregnant. Period.”
Lil Wayne may not be the father this go round, but he saw the birth of three sons — from an unnamed Ohio native, singer Nivea Nash and actress Lauren London — between 2008 and 2009 alone. His first child’s name is Reginae Carter, from his marriage to Toya Carter.
