SHE'S TALKING! Jessie J Breaks Silence on Mel B's Scathing Insults: 'You're a Dhead, Jessie!'*

After months of radio silence, British pop sensation Jessie J has finally spoken out about her bitter feud with Spice Girls legend Mel B. In a shocking revelation, the 37-year-old singer took to KISS FM to dish on the drama-filled exchange that left fans wondering what really went down between these two female powerhouses.

Taking a deep breath before delving into the juicy details, Jessie began: "Let me just talk about something that I've never talked about... I feel safe doing it now, but probably shouldn't be sharing this." Her voice trembled slightly as she continued, "So on TV, [Mel B] said I was a d*head out of nowhere."

The hitmaker, 37, remained silent at the time of the comment in 2022, but during an appearance on KISS FM on Friday, she finally decided to open up about the situation (pictured Mel B)

The shocking comment was made by Mel during an appearance on Channel 4's The Big Narstie Show, where she also name-dropped James Corden and Geri Halliwell alongside Jessie. The Spice Girls alum infamously quipped: "So, there's a few. James Corden, Geri Halliwell, Jessie J, and me."

Jessie remained characteristically calm as she recalled the incident, saying, "I've literally met her once." Her understated response sparked amusement among listeners, who couldn't help but wonder what really transpired between these two strong-willed women.

The feud's origins remain unclear, but sources close to Jessie speculate that it may have begun when Mel B publicly criticized her music. Whatever the reason, one thing is certain – both ladies have left their mark on the entertainment industry. With a combined total of over 20 chart-topping hits and countless sold-out tours under their belts, these pop icons are undoubtedly two of Britain's most talented exports.

But there's more to this drama-filled story! Just days after breaking her silence on Mel B's scathing insults, Jessie revealed she's been battling breast cancer – a fact that left fans stunned. The singer underwent a mastectomy in June and has since undergone a second operation due to complications from the initial surgery.

"It's so weird," Jessie candidly shared with Capital XTRA host Manny Norte. "I don't have much sensation... It's just there for show, basically." Her refreshing honesty only added fuel to her devoted fan base, who continue to rally behind their beloved singer as she navigates this challenging period in her life.

And what better way to celebrate Jessie J's incredible resilience than with a live performance? The singer took to the stage at BBC Radio 2 In The Park in Chelmsford, Essex on Saturday, sending fans into a frenzy. Overcome with emotion, Jessie tearfully shared: "Some of you may know, some of you may not know, but I had breast cancer surgery 11 weeks ago today."

Opening up about her journey thus far, Jessie explained: "And the last show I did, I had no idea what was gonna happen, and I'm still very much in the recovery process." Amidst the storm that has become her life, Jessie remains steadfast – choosing to focus on spreading positivity and love through her music.

"It truly feels like I'm a little kid," she gushed to the cheering crowd. "Still doing what I love... And another special thing that's happening today is that my son [Sky] is seeing me sing on stage for the first time." Jessie proudly pointed out her 2-year-old son, who beamed with pride as he watched his mum perform from backstage.

The sweet moment only added to the evening's magic as Jessie took the stage once more. "Some of you may know this song, some of you may not," she began, before launching into her empowering anthem 'Living My Best Life.' The poignant lyrics – penned during her darkest moments with cancer – have resonated deeply with fans worldwide.
