Common Opens Up About Jennifer Hudson and their Shared Chicago Roots
Common is shedding new light on his relationship with fellow Chicago native Jennifer Hudson.
During a recent appearance on "The Breakfast Club" to promote his joint album “The Auditorium Vol. 1” with rapper Pete Rock, the veteran emcee was asked how he has been able to tap into the essence of his hometown, despite no longer residing there full time.
The “Go” emcee candidly revealed how his relationship with the EGOT winner and their shared hometown has made his visits there more enjoyable. He told co-host Charlamagne tha God, “I’m going to be real real with you, like, having a lady just from Chicago allows me to go home and just be home.”
He continued, “And I hadn’t did that in a while where I was just going home and just being around my love ones and didn’t have no work to do, and that man I ain’t going to front, that helped me with this album because just going to your roots, you got to always recharge and replug, and plug into them roots no matter how much you’ve elevated you still got to go to them roots..”
The duo sparked dating rumors back in February 2023 when they were seen having dinner together. Nearly a year later, the pair made it official when Common appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
