She's the 'Boss Lady': Jennifer Hudson talks about buying her assistant a house as she promotes album in the UK

She is currently in the UK to promote her latest album, which she has described as more ‘upbeat’ than previous ones.
And on Thursday Jennifer Hudson looked ready to get her sound out there following an interview with Trevor Nelson on BBC Radio 1Xtra in which she serenaded the DJ by singing his own name sexily.
During the interview, Jennifer told Trevor about an extra specially good deed she did for her personal assistant and long-time friend, Walter for his Christmas present.

'I was going to buy myself another house,' she said. 'But then I thought Walter needs a house. That's why I came up with the idea to buy him a house for Christmas and
everybody knew but him.'
The Oscar and Grammy winning artist also spoke of her joy that Lupita Nyong'o won an Oscar for her role in 12 Years A Slave.
She said: 'I was so happy for Lupita I screamed. I threw a big old 'YES' on there on my twitter. I didn't want to mis-spell her name.'

Up and at 'em: The singer pulled her bomber around her as she left the station

Loving it: Jennifer shared a collection of pictures from her time in the UK so far

Jennifer, who won an Academy Award for her role in Dream Girls, has said that she hopes her third studio alum puts the fun back into R&B and soul music.
She told the Evening Standard: ‘I feel like the music I love has lost its feel-good factor. What happened to that? Let’s bring it back. I wish I had been born in a Whitney era, an Aretha era, but I’m not. So can we bring that back? I guess what happened is just transition and time. Things change and people change. Each generation has its own flavour and its own style.’
Continuing she added: ‘I thought by my third album there should be a piece of me in it. I felt albums one and two were me just being a vocalist. But I’m an artist now. I’m confident enough in that to raise my hand now when I’m in the studio with producers and say, ‘This is what I think’.’
Trevor Nelson’s show is on BBC Radio 1Xtra Mon-Fri 10-13.00
