Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Charlie Puth shares new picture of him holding Cheerios cereals to cover his cock region with inhaler on his mouth.
Charlie Puth was just 23 when he co-wrote and co-performed with rapper Wiz Khalifia the 2015 song “See You Again.” It became one of the biggest pop hits of the decade, spending 12 weeks at #1, and getting nearly six billion views on YouTube, launching Puth as a bona fide star. He followed it up with two big solo albums, full of huge hits, like “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” “Attention,” “How Long” and “The Way I Am.”
But in early 2020, Puth announced that his much-anticipated third album would be scrapped because, as he put it, “none of the music felt real.”
“CBS Morning” co-host Tony Dokoupil asked Puth, “You were a bankable star, multi-Grammy-nominated, billion stream songs, you were touring, you were selling out stadiums. So, it’s a big deal to say, actually, ‘Stop.’ What was that moment like where you said, ‘No, we’re not doing this’?”
“I’ll never forget it,” said Puth. “I went to a restaurant in West Hollywood right when I had decided that I was going to start over. And the maître d’ came over to me and said, ‘Elton John would like to meet you.'”
Through a friend, the pop legend had heard an early version of the album. “He said, ‘That music you just put out was not very good.’ And I was, like, a little taken aback by that, because it’s not like I disagreed with him, but it’s not every day you get to run into Elton John at a restaurant and have him tell you exactly what you were just thinking 10 minutes prior.”
“Gotta imagine that hurt a little bit?” asked Dokoupil.
“It did, but it didn’t,” Puth replied. “It stung for about two minutes, and then I walked back over to the table and I just pointed upward and was like, ‘That confirms everything.'”
It was a moment that made Puth think back to falling in love with music, growing up in the New Jersey shore town of Rumson. His dad was a builder; his mom a music teacher.
In a 2018 interview Puth told Dokoupil, “I would wake up with her playing piano every day. That was the alarm clock, her playing. I think my brain would be musically awake before I even had breakfast.”
Pretty soon, Puth’s parents realized their son had a unique gift for recognizing songs: “I found it way easier to listen to The Beatles. … My ten-year-old brain thought, I could just listen to the record and play it back just by hearing it. And I thought that was a ‘normal’ thing!”
By 10, the musical prodigy was performing at school and in church, starting with the day the organist didn’t show up. “I had heard the mass, the music, so many times. I just played the entire mass.”Dokoupil said, “It’s almost like that thing on a plane where it’s like, ‘Is there a doctor on the plane?’ But it was like, ‘Is there an organist in the church?'”
“I raised my little hand, and my feet didn’t even reach the pedals!”
“What gave you the courage to do that in a room full of adults, in God’s house?”
“I’ve always just wanted to save the day!” Puth replied.
And it wasn’t just adults who took note; his classmates did, too. “I was shy, but at the same time I wasn’t. When I was in my musical element, I wasn’t shy. When I was doing a science project, I was very shy.”
They began dating after the singer’s wife, Anita filed a divorce suit against him after it was reported that they were enmeshed in a marital crisis.
Before Paul went public with their romance, Ifeoma had shared a loved-up video from their time together during his birthday.
