<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since we’re in <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=viral+pandemic">Quarantine Season</a>, celebs are on social media more than usual and giving us a deeper look into their personality and truths. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Legendary producer, Jermaine Dupri, has been around for some time. He’s known for breaking artists like XScape, Kris Kross, Da Brat, Bow Wow, and a few others. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While having a question and answer session on IG, a follower asked, “Any artists you regret passing up on?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dupri mentioned he regretted passing on TLC. At the time, he didn’t think he had the bandwidth to manage the girl group and Kris Kross. </span></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He wrote:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I regret not trying to do TLC at the same time as Kris Kross. I was only 19 years old at the time and</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">didn&#8217;t believe in myself as a person, as someone having the bandwidth to have both artists,&#8221; Dupri wrote. &#8220;I was putting so much energy into Kriss Kross, and I was only giving TLC maybe 30 to 40 percent, not even 50 percent.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I felt I was spreading myself thin by trying to provide both of these groups what they needed to become the success they eventually both grew to become,&#8221; Dupri continued in the post. &#8220;So I eliminated myself from TLC being a group that I actually introduced to the world.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This isn’t his first time speaking out about TLC. In an episode of TV One’s Unsung, he stated that Left Eye lived with him, when he met Kris Kross.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“TLC was my group before they got signed to LaFace,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Left Eye was living at my house when I found Kris Kross. The backward clothes came after we started getting more and more songs. The backward clothes actually came from being around Left Eye.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking of producers, would y’all like to see Jermaine Dupri battle someone? I’m thinking Jazze Pha. What you say, Roomies?</span></p>
