After bleaching her hair to the icy blonde shade, the “My Type” rapper toldHelloBeautifulin August that that particular style came about because she wanted to “be different.”
“The wigs and the makeup is kind of making everyone mesh together,” she continued. “I don’t like meshing. I like being unique. I like standing out. So I was like, ‘You know, I’m going to do what traditional stars do and I’m going to commit [to the new look].”

“I’m going to take a deep breath and release some stress,” she said. “Hopefully I’m able to evaluate, reflect on and see what I can do better next year, because I work a lot.”
“Balance needs to happen,” she added. “I feel like I’m being run down to the ground right now and my body doesn’t feel good. I’ve had mental breakdowns and it’s just really stressful, but it’s nice to be acknowledged because it lets me know that my hard work isn’t going unnoticed.”
