The RHOA cast member celebrated the release of her Dennis-produced album, I Did It to Me.
Drew Sidora just hit another career milestone.
After months of teasers and growing anticipation, The Real Housewives of Atlanta mom has finally unleashed I Did It to Me, her debut studio album produced by Porsha Williams’s ex-fiancé, Dennis McKinley. Drew promoted the release in a March 19 Instagram, just days before the project hit all major streaming services.
Drew says her Dennis-produced album is "pure vibes"
“Get ready, because this Friday is going to be epic!” she captioned the post. “I Did It To Me is dropping on ALL streaming platforms, and you won’t want to miss it! Mark your calendars, set your reminders—this is going to be a release you’ll be blasting on repeat!”
Drew also shared a behind-the-scenes look at a recent photo shoot in which she was jamming out to the project’s title track.
“The countdown is ON! When MIDNIGHT hits, I’m coming through with nothing but PURE VIBES!” she captioned a subsequent post of the album art. “Who’s ready for this drop?! The release is FINALLY HERE—Let’s make some noise!… I’m thrilled, thankful, Blessed, nervous, overwhelmed and grateful to share this with you all….I can’t wait for you all to hear it!”
I Did It to Me spans 11 cuts, including titles like “Better on My Own,” “Single Again,” “DeLuLu,” and “Love 4 a Min.” Dennis wrote and produced the album alongside Kennif Klark.
“Too many hits on this album!” Dennis wrote in a March 20 Instagram. “[Recording Academy] is that you… [Drew] let’s go.”
Porsha Williams has thoughts on Drew and Dennis' partnership
Drew announced the project back in November when she posted a video of her and Dennis’ studio session. The unexpected partnership raised a few eyebrows and led to a heated exchange between Drew and her castmate Porsha.
The back-and-forth played out in RHOA Season 16, Episode 2 when Porsha accused Drew of trying to film scenes with Dennis behind her back. Drew insisted that wasn’t the case and described Dennis as her “angel on earth.”
“At the end of the day, Dennis has been like a brother to me,” Drew told Porsha, who shares a 5-year-old daughter with Dennis. “I don’t want to ever think for one second that I would ever be dealing with your baby daddy.”
Porsha fired back, claiming she didn’t care what kind of feelings Drew had toward Dennis; however, she took issue with Drew’s alleged attempts to film with her ex.
“My problem with you is this: You are a lowdown dirty individual. And you know what I’m talking about,” Porsha said before asking a producer’s permission to “break the fourth wall.” “You have been trying to go behind my back and do something very dirty by asking Dennis to film with you.”
Drew defends her working relationship with Dennis
Drew shared her side of the story in Episode 2, saying her relationship with Dennis was strictly “business” and she had no intentions of going behind Porsha’s back.
“I have been signed to so many legends and my music has not gotten to the level where I thought and dreamt it would be. Dennis came to the table with an offer. It’s a business relationship,” she said. “Had [Porsha] said, ‘No,’ then I would have had to evaluate it. I feel like she has to tell me she feels a way and not aggressively attack me and accuse me of things she has been hearing because Dennis has been an advocate for me and [estranged husband] Ralph [Pittman] as well.”
Season 14 kicked off amid Drew’s separation from her husband, Ralph. Find out where the estranged couple stands today.
