Jennifer Hudson and Common are one of the most beloved celebrity couples today. But even they encounter issues while working together.
During an appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on Wednesday, Nov. 27, Hudson shared her insight about making music with Common.
“I mean, we’re both very musical,” Hudson said. “Two Chicagoans and I was like, ‘Where’s the poetry and the storytelling in the holiday albums?’ And who better to do it than him? To do, like, spoken-word poetry for the holidays? And so that’s where the song came from.”
While their chemistry is undeniable, she admitted that there were some challenges.
“He’s a bit bossy when it comes to being Common,” the Oscar winner explained.
“Common and Rashid are two different people musically. But he’s a musical genius, so it’s an honor to be able to work from him, work for him, work with him, and on his album and my album,” she continued.
Along with the Christmas track, Hudson and Common appeared on “A GOD (There Is),” from Common and Pete Rock’s album The Auditorium Vol. 1.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Common shared how much he enjoyed working with his significant other
“When I played it to musician friends, they were like, ‘Who is that singing?’ I’m like, ‘That’s Jennifer,” he recalled. “It doesn’t sound like things you’ve heard from her before,” he said. “I love that we were able to utilize her gifts in a new space. She brought it, man.”
Following speculation about them being an item, Common confirmed their relationship on Hudson’s talk show, in January.
“I’m in a relationship … with one of the most beautiful people I ever met in life,” Common said on the talk show earlier this year. “She’s smart, she loves God, she has something real down-to-earth about her, she’s talented.”
“This relationship is a happy place for me,” the rapper added. “Seeing her happy actually makes me really happy. So, I’m very grateful. I thank God each and every day, and I’m just letting God guide this relationship.”
