If there are any Teena Marie fans who think JoJo doesn’t have what it takes to do the Ivory Queen of Soul’s biopic justice, the 31-year-old’s recently shared rendition of the classic tune ‘Square Biz’ may be just what’s needed to change their minds.

Taking to TikTok Friday (September 23), Jo shared a short but sweet clip of some recent studio time (as seen above).
Said to be hard-at-work on her next musical project – the follow-up to 2021’s ‘Trying Not to Think About It’ – the GRAMMY nominee gave Lady T lovers something to think about when she laid into a cover of the late diva’s 1981 hit ‘Square Biz.’
The showing comes after years of calls for Jo to portray Marie in a biographical film, a call the ‘Leave (Get Out)’ singer has spoken out about in the past.
As of time reported there are no official plans unveiled to bring Teena’s life to the silver screen, but we’re definitely among those who believe Jo would be an apt choice for the role.
The multi-hyphenate star may be best known for her soaring vocal displays, but she’s no stranger to soaring on the big and small screen as well. Over the years she’s flexed her acting chops in movies and TV shows like ‘American Dreams’ (2004), ‘Aquamarine‘ (2006), ‘RV‘ (2006), ‘True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet‘ (2008), ‘Hawaii Five-0‘ (2011), ‘All American‘ (2022), and more.
