Mya Plays “This or That,” Talks Crushes and R&B Favorites

The Quiet R&B Star Lets The Question Cards Get Nosy

Cocoa Butter brings another round of its rapid-fire interview game to YouTube Shorts, this time featuring thee ever-glowing R&B queen Mya.

The normally reserved and introverted singer lets the question cards do the prying as she plays “This or That”, moving through celebrity crushes, celebrity doppelgängers, favorite 1990s R&B artists and the songs that helped shape her musical taste.

That is what makes the format work for Mya. She does not arrive looking to manufacture a headline or overshare for sport. Instead, the short questions create little openings—quick flashes of humor, nostalgia and personality from an artist who has spent decades letting the music and movement speak first.

The segment naturally circles back to Mya’s place in turn-of-the-millennium R&B. Her catalog connected sleek pop instincts, hip-hop collaborations, choreography and a voice that could remain soft without disappearing inside the production.

So asking her to choose favorite artists from the 1990s is not simply a nostalgia prompt. It places her back inside the era that produced her 1998 debut, “It’s All About Me,” “Case of the Ex,” “My Love Is Like…Wo” and the global Lady Marmalade collaboration.

Cocoa Butter also gives Mya room to be playfully unserious. The celebrity-crush and look-alike cards push beyond the polished interview answers fans usually hear, allowing her reactions, pauses and expressions to carry as much of the moment as the answer itself.

Then the second short shifts from R&B memory lane to movie-musical history. Mya revisits her role as Mona in the 2002 film Chicago, reprising the character’s unforgettable section from “Cell Block Tango.”

The original scene gave each of the six merry murderesses a compact confession, and Mya’s “Lipschitz” verse remains one of the film’s sharpest little character turns. More than two decades later, she can still drop back into the rhythm, attitude and dramatic timing without needing a full prison-block set behind her.

Mya Moves From R&B Favorites To Her Chicago Era

The pairing is a tidy reminder of why Mya has always been more than a standard recording artist. Singing, dancing, acting and character work have lived together throughout her career, even when audiences tend to remember one glossy music-video frame at a time.

Press play and let Cocoa Butter’s cards uncover Mya’s crushes, inspirations and favorite R&B voices—then stay for a little Chicago theatricality from a performer who clearly still knows exactly where to place the punch line.
