“I swear I’m not one of the girls that come to the internet with every problem they have but I just be needing y’all to know sometimes… beyond all the glitz and the glam, this sh*t real life,” she said in the video. “I go through the same sh*t y’all go through, even worse sh*t y’all go through. Like we all human at the end of the day. And we all got f*cking problems.”

In a separate interview from 2019, she talked about her favorite part about running her businesses and interacting with people who buy her products.

“The best part of my business experience would have to be the traveling,” she explained. “Getting to come face to face with so many people who send me countless messages on social media and then I finally get to meet them and feel their love… that’s definitely an experience for the books. Other than that, I would say the lessons. I’ve learned that business can get very difficult, and there are so many things that I want to do, so I keep challenging myself to do more, make more money, and meet more people. The entire experience can be trying, but I love it.”
