Whereas signed to the label, she launched collaborations with Chris Brown and R. Kelly, each in 2015, and he or she just lately talked about how her label pushed her to do these songs.

“I actually block out that R. Kelly track from my thoughts. I overlook that it even exists,” she stated throughout an interview on The Zach Sang Present. “That’s so embarrassing. That’s so unreal that I also have a track with R. Kelly. That’s so embarrassing.”

“I used to be so younger, too, which is loopy as a result of I really feel like I did that track after I simply signed to that label … I used to be most likely like 20 … That was loopy,” she stated.
