It appears recent concert footage of Jill Scott has inspired at least one artist to dedicate a song to the Philadelphia songstress.
Video of the singer performing her 2007 song “Crown Royal” while simulating oral sex with the microphone onstage went viral last week, prompting Mr. Steal Yo Girl himself, Trey Songz, to dedicate a new slow jam to the vocalist.
Songz shared new track, “Jill (Sumn Real)” on Twitter. The SoundCloud release samples Scott’s “He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)” from her 2000 debut album Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1. The cover art for the song is a screenshot of Scott’s now-famously risqué performance. Listen to the track below.
Jilly from Philly has since responded, saying despite the recent controversy surrounding the video, “Jill (Sumn Real)” is a decent tune.
In the midst of simple minded, affection starved foolishness, this song is actually quite beautiful. https://t.co/e5fuxogAnO

The viral moment shocked several of her followers, leading Scott to explain the move via Twitter.
“Hi. I sing/act out all kinds of stories. You should c*m to my shows,” Scott wrote. “After a Jill Scott show, most people get splendidly laid by whoever they came with😁👍🏽🎶🤪🎉 #iftheydontFitup #stopfrontinusuckd*cktoo They also usually go on 2happier, more productive, focused, wealthy lives.”
