Jesy Nelson teases fans with a photoshoot as she ‘makes it her mission to crack the US’

Jesy Nelson teased her fans with a behind-the-scenes photoshoot on Instagram on Friday, ahead of the launch of her hotly-anticipated solo career. 

The singer, 30, looked stunning in the black and white images as she wore her locks in their natural curls and donned a pleated bustier jumpsuit for her upcoming interview with The Guardian. 

It comes as Jesy has reportedly made it her mission to crack the music industry in the US, after her former Little Mix band struggled to break into their charts. 

According to The Sun insiders, Jesy has apparently been in talks to perform at the MTV VMA’s in New York next month. 

The prestigious event, if she does perform, will push her into the mainstream in the States, as she reportedly set to perform with Nicki Minaj for their new single together Boyz. 

An insider has said: ‘The MTV VMAs is one of the biggest nights in music, watched by millions around the world, so everyone is working hard to get Jesy a performance slot.’  

The hitmaker may be joining Lil Nas X, Olivia Rodrigo and Camilla Cabello at the event.

‘Her label thinks the single will appeal to people in the US as it samples Bad Boy For Life by P Diddy and features Nicki, so putting her in front of those audiences will give her career there a huge boost.’ 

MailOnline have contacted Jesy’s representatives for further comment.  

The new song is set to be released next month and shooting for the big budget music video is already underway. 

Little Mix were never asked to take the stage of such a large event, however they did go on to host the MTV EMAs in November – without Jesy.

Jesy’s black and white posts to Instagram did not have a caption, and the singer has stripped back her social media platform so that she now only has three posts. 

Earlier this week, the star sizzled in another post she shared to the photo sharing app which saw her don a skimpy Union Jack bikini as she posed up a storm with various hunks the new single.  

The first post on her page sparked mystery as it was a video which simply read: ‘For me this is the music I’ve always wanted to make. I don’t think anyone is gonna expect this. This is a new chapter for me.’

The news comes after Jesy officially retired from the business she set up with her Little Mix bandmates to look after their earnings.

A termination of appointment for the songstress as a director of Eternal Dance Media Ltd was registered with Companies House on Thursday.

The star left the group – now Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 29, Perrie Edwards, 28, and Jade Thirlwall, 28 – in December 2020 after nine years saying her participation in the group had taken a toll on her mental health.

As a foursome they recorded six UK top 10 albums and four number one singles and they set up Eternal Dance Media Ltd to net their earnings as they started to rise in the early days of their fame.
