'I love the internet, because they definitely clocked my tea. I love that. Little spies everywhere, like I'm in a detective movie,' Jones said earlier this year on Shannon Sharpe's 'Club Shay Shay.' podcast.
'I'm happy and I will say, my music is the outlet where I tell most of my stories and my truth. Some things I keep for myself because this is my life too.'

He signed a three-year, $150 million extension with the team last year.
Jones released her debut album, 'Why Not More?' in April, and won a Best R&B Performance Grammy last year for her hit single, 'ICU.'
