Yeah.

So I'm just like really how this all unfolded was just like, honestly, like really unfortunate.

So as a brand founder and as the brand being my name, I take full responsibility of everything that this brand does.

I think I'm sad that people are taking my integrity away from me when I can't even defend myself, which I'm not trying to defend myself.

I still respect her so much as an artist.

I would love to do something with her.

It is really unfortunate how this all unfolded and I want to work with her.

I want to have a conversation with her and I want to hear her and really understand because I don't live her life.

What this has taught me, I think it reminds me of the younger artists in myself.

I think back now, I am where I am, but if this happened to me,

as me as a younger artist and people not knowing who I am for something that like, or not being recognized for something that I contributed to, I would be upset.

So it is especially important for me to allow people to feel seen just as much as I wish for.

It has not really shifted for me.

I feel like I've had a very slow and steady career.

I've never had like a shoot up to like stardom.

I've been in the industry for a very long time.

And...

I use social media for what it is.

I share my own personal experiences.

I share my artistry and I share my life.
