Well, I have asked for what I wanted for 14 years … a different version of “Baby” but have the producers actually work for me and put it together … a start … but as the TEAM said NO and serves me with 4 girls, my sister included, doing a 5-minute version of 4 remixed songs to a T not even having to give effort or dance … just shot it beautifully and the sound was NEW !!!"

Sharing her frustration, she further added, "They ruined it for me, embarrassed me and made me feel like absolutely nothing!!! The truth is a fu****g bitch !!! I share this because I am aware of my love and passion to sing … and my own family made a fool of me … I’m not going to be a victim !!! HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME ??? I’m sure you advanced musicians think it’s horrible or bad … well WHEN I’M BAD, I’M BETTER Pssss you say go do it NOW after 14 years of asking and telling… I worked my a*s off then I was locked up in one place … It’s too late…"
