If we meet, we respect that and cannot be on the same page, but it can’t take away the fact that he played a part in my journey as an artist. He contributed something to me, and even when he does the worst thing of all, I cannot take that away from him. He is not perfect, but I appreciate him in a certain way. Even when we disagree on something, I will always tell him,” she said.
