She dishes on its relevance to the culture and told us a little something about her forthcoming debut album. When speaking on the BET Awards, she expressed, "it's important to honor the influencers, honor the trendsetters and the fact that I'm apart of culture's literally biggest night." Giggly, she reflected, "I just remember being a little girl, sitting in front of the screen and my eyes glued to the TV the whole time, so it's crazy how it's a full circle for me and I'm just really excited."

As far as her debut LP, Pretty B**** Music is concerned, it is "still in the works." She considers herself to be a perfectionist and had to make some tweaks to the album, ahead of its release. However, she did not provide any insight as to when fans can expect that. She also isn't spilling any tea about who all will be featured.

However, the Icy Girl mogul revealed that people "will really grasp the art," when they listen to the album. "I think that's something I haven't really been able to focus on and when people really indulge in this music, I want them to feel they're experiencing something. So, I really want to tap into my artistry and my creativity [...] I want to [merge] all my creativity into one project and that's why I'm really taking my time with it," she explained.
