An interesting part of that interview was when she got to talk about the track “Us (Interlude),” which highlighted her failed marriage to artist manager, Tunji 'Teebillz' Balogun.

“It’s definitely the first time I’m being vulnerable,” she said, adding that it had taken years to come to terms with the breakup.

“When we first started, it was just like, ‘Me and you, we’re going to conquer the world.’ And then it got to a point where the brand was getting big, and when I had to make a decision, it wasn’t just me and you,” she said.
