According to her, she was like a starving artist, which made her restrategize and invest the next three years in self-development and learning how to make money, among other things.
The rapper claims that she doesn’t regret her decision, as her life is so much better now.
“A few years ago, I walked away from a seemingly “successful” music career. I was burnt out. Depression had taken an almost permanent seat beside me. My bank balance was just enough to buy my next meal.
“If there was a picture of the phrase “Starving Artist”, it would have been my damn face. One day, I said, ‘Fuck it! I got myself here, I’m gonna get myself out’,” she wrote in part.
