Aubrey O'Day has been a staple on the reality show circuit since we were first introduced to her on Diddy's Making the Band. Since then, she's been on a handful of other shows like Marriage Bootcamp, Famously Single, and Celebrity Apprentice, which seems to be where she met her muse for her last album, Between Two Evils. Last week, Donald Trump Jr.'s wife filed for divorce for providing "little financial assistance," but the suit brings up an old case of infidelity on Trump's part. You may have missed Between Two Evils when it first came out in 2013. But you definitely know about it know and the Trump divorce is why.

According to Page Six, O'Day and Trump Jr. grew close toward the end of her tenure on Celebrity Apprentice in 2011 when he planned to leave his wife for the singer. Two years later, O'Day released Between Two Evils, with "DJT" as an opener to what in hindsight appears to be a break up album. The track begins with a phone conversation between O'Day and an unidentified man who claims, "I couldn't do what I said I would do. So that answered the question for me. I'll always want you and I'll always wonder about it." O'Day literally hates herself for getting into this affair, as the only lyrics are "I hate me for loving you, hate you for letting our love die."

The entire tracklist reads like excerpts from a diary with songs like "Unchoose You," "Love Me When You Leave," and "Hurt So Good." Between Two Evils gets really dark toward the end, with "Devil & Me," a cryptic song about this relationship that feels like a dance with the devil, which leads to her cries on the outro, "I can't deny being seduced by evil. So as much as it burns, I'll sit in between and wait for my next turn." It could be a long shot, but O'Day pretty much gives us the bait to wonder using his initials as the song's namesake. Who knew Don Jr. had it in him?
