When Mya took the stage at the BET Awards 2025, it was more than just a throwback to the 106 & Park video countdown show. It was a celebration of her song "Case of the Ex," which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Fear of Flying, the album it appeared on, also turns turns 25 this year.
Looking back on the album-making process, Mya most remembers having good times in New York. "I remember being in New York with Wyclef [Jean], Jerry Wonder and the gang. And at the time I had a Rottweiler named Rambo, who was a girl, and she'd hang out in the studio with me," she recalls. "Those are my early fun memories of Fear of Flying."
