The Houston Hottie described her chart-topping diss track as a “cathartic release” that came at a time when she needed to “get this s**t off [her] chest.”

“I had been holding in feelings for a while. I felt like everybody was kicking me when I was down. It felt good to finally be able to just talk my talk because I was in a place where I was so down, and I didn’t want to do anything to disrupt any kind of peace,” she explained to L’OFFICIEL, but noted that her new album won’t be coming from an angry place.
