She livestreamed via X, a Q&A with followers. One asked: “Do you think your career is being blackballed by labels and colorism?”

The talented artist replied:

“I’ve sat down with almost every label there is, offering me 500k is just not wise for me take. When I can make that in one tour. So yes maybe I am facing the repercussions.

“Do darkness also play a role? Of course. Dauntless is the best female rap album put out this year. And n****as know that , that’s why they didn’t even put a rate on it. But luckily I do it for the sport.” 

‘Dauntless Manifesto’ record unleashed in June. Her first album in over six years.
