At only 26-years-old, Coco Jones has mastered various arenas in entertainment. With chart-topping hits like, “ICU” and “Here We Go (Uh-Oh)”, and her widely popular role of Hillary Banks on the breakout drama, “Bel-Air,” Coco seems to only be scratching the surface. In a heartfelt and hopeful one-on-one, Crystal and Coco will discuss navigating relationships, growing into womanhood in the public eye, work-life balance, financial literacy and more.
Chapter 1: What are Coco Jones' recent career highlights?
Coming up on Keep It Positive, Sweetie. Speaking of performances, you just did the Usher tribute at the BET Awards this year. Phenomenal. The way you crawled up on that stage, I said, only a tall girl could do that. Because I'd have been like... And you did it so gracefully.
Thank you. That is so sweet, because literally in my mind, I felt like I was like, no, you look, it was good. That is hilarious. Thank you. That is so funny. Yeah, I love that. I think that was such a really dope opportunity to show all the R&B girls in different ways that we all shine and uplift Usher, who is, of course, iconic. I really love that concept in general. But yes, girl. Yeah.
So when I was walking down, like, you know, I'm trying to give sex with me. I'm trying to give that, but like it's a literal ramp.
So I had these heels on and I was like, I felt like Shrek, but I was really trying to give sex.
I'm Chris Renee Hazlitt, and this is Keep It Positive, Sweetie, a safe space to heal, laugh, grow, and love. Today's show is brought to you by BET, and I'm discussing sisterhood and much more with Grammy Award-winning and one of the stars of Bel-Air, Coco Jones. At only 26 years old, Coco Jones has mastered so much in the entertainment industry.
With top-charting hits like I See You and Here We Go, along with the wildly popular role of Hilary Banks on Bel-Air, Coco seems to only be scratching the surface. I am so excited she's here to chat about her personal life, professional evolution, and work-life balance, and her love life. Well, at least I hope so. Coco, thank you so much for being here. I am a huge fan of all your work.
I love you on Bel Air. I love your music. And then you were like a childhood actor as well. How has that evolution been going from being a childhood actor to now like being a grown woman doing your thing?
I think you have a lot more perspective on the business side of things. You know, as a child, it's just like a dream and you don't really notice any of the entertainment business side of it. So I think that's the good and the bad of it. Cause I do like the challenge of growing as a business woman while also growing as an actress, but sometimes it could take the passion away.
So it's like pros and cons.

Chapter 2: How did Coco transition from child actor to adult roles?
Girl, and then you'd be like, by the end, you'd have heard it so many times, you're like, is this even good? What the hell is going on? No, but seriously, I'm such a weirdo after. After I make music, I cannot... I don't know. Girl, I don't know. My family will be like, we don't hear anything you make. I'm like, oh my God, I can't. I don't know. I just feel so uncomfortable.
I'll send it to my manager and I'll be like, don't say anything.
Don't say anything.
But what do you think? Give me all your constructive criticism, but don't say anything.
Girl, I cannot. I cannot.
A lot of actors are like that. They can't watch their work. But for me, it's like watching film.
So I can see where I need to get better.
I'm like, oh, I should have taken longer to be there. I should have did something different there.
Yeah, I feel that too. I like to study my own performances. I like to watch those like, okay, okay, you could have done that better. The spacing was off there. I'll watch my acting too. I'm not searching for it, but if it comes around on socials, I'll be like, let me see how she did. I'll be like, she ate a touch. She ate it. Literally, just a crumb. I like that for her.
