Nix Predicted Roberts’ Win During Hollywood Week
In an interview with TV Insider, Jamal Roberts revealed that Breanna Nix first told him he would win back during Hollywood Week, months before the live shows aired. Though the Hollywood rounds aired in March, they were actually filmed in January at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
“She told me, ‘You’re anointed,’” Roberts recalled. “She said, ‘You’re going to win this.’ I’m looking at her, like, ‘Girl, hush! What are you talking about?’ But she stood on that, every performance.”
Breanna didn’t just say it—she documented it. She filmed a video of herself predicting his win and posted it publicly on May 20, just days after Roberts’ victory.
