Jennifer Hudson recently shared her thoughts on the possibility of collaboration with Common — both artists hail from Chicago and Common is only a Tony Award away from reaching Hudson's EGOT status (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award win).

TMZ caught up with Hudson and asked her about the possibility of a musical collaboration with Common, who she's rumored to be dating. She obviously wants to keep her private life private and instead of answering probing questions about her personal connection to Common just said, “Rumors say a lot of things, but he’s a beautiful man. I will give you that. That’s for certain.”

As for a possibly collaboration? “It’ll be dope to see two Chicagoans together, but I don’t know about that," she said.

As for Common, Questlove took a stroll down memory lane early this year, and remembered the creation of Common's J. Dilla-produced "Soul Power" from his album, Electric Circus.

"Man I will NEVER forget the weekend Dilla & Com came back from detroit w the beat to the untitled “Soul Power” completed and I got to hear it for the first time when we transferred it to 2 inch tape," he said on IG. "Dill told me he made some “Let’s Go Crazy” type jawn which instantly put me in the mind frame of PE’s “Brothes Gonna Work It Out” space——I was NOT expecting this. The second I heard it I was like “this is our album opener” hands down."

You can catch Common on the F.O.R.C.E. Tour with LL COOL J, which kicks off later this month.
