The company acts as a record label, TV and film production company, brand consultancy and management firm.
In addition to working on the music for Antebellum, Wonder has also contributed to the soundtracks of I May Destroy You, Us, and 2016‘s Best Picture Oscar-winner Moonlight, which also costarred Monáe.
And while their personal relationship has not been confirmed as romantic, the Yoga hitmaker has previously identified herself as ‘someone who has been in relationships with both men and women’.
Back in 2018, Janelle spoke to Rolling Stone and identified herself as ‘a queer black woman,’ going on to say she considers herself ‘to be a free-a** motherf***er.’
