In a recent interview with The Guardian,  the Be The One singer opened up about the experience of being a meme sensation and being trolled all over the internet.

She said, “When people took that snippet of me dancing online and just turned it into a meme, and then when I won the best new artist Grammy and people were like, 'She's not deserving of it, she's got no stage presence, she's not going to stick around.'"

The singer further reflected, “Those things were hurtful. It was humiliating. I had to take myself off Twitter.”

When the songstress was asked about the duration of its impact that lasted on her, she said it lasted for two years. The hitmaker revealed that she was not able to get out of her bed because of what people thought about her.
