I grew up in a time where Aaliyah was the biggest thing out and one of the sexiest things out. She wore baggy jeans. She wore big, oversized jackets. She was that tomboy femininity.”

She further expressed through her art a message dedicated to her critics, the single Cleo pretty much reveals how she feels.

“Remember  early on, y’all ain’t treat me all the same though/Used to question why the brothers even rocked with me for/Member y’all wondered, used to wonder ’bout Wonder/Question why they’d ever wanna push a black woman/Niggas  on my label who ain’t want me in the front end/Some sisters in the industry, y’all know y’all was frontin’ (I know it)/Dressed too tomboy, rap too lyrical (You said it).”
