She also said that she has worked hard to record her own songs and she’s trusted herself to produce the songs.

“Let me explain something that has been a misconception, I’ve recorded sooo many songs that I own but because I never had a distributor, I trusted I decided to play chess, I’d drop songs with people but ask to own the master and have majority percentages that way i still made money but didn’t have to pay for it,” she added.

She also gave credit to some of the artists she’s worked with including Cassper Nyovest, Murdah Bongz, DBN Gogo, among many others.
