She also added that; “I had hustled as a woman and female artist on my own, by myself and the help of my team to get to where I am today. I don’t want people to have that notion that my father is Pat Thomas so I had it easy, I didn’t get it easy at all, everything is the opposite. I’m still struggling but it’s good because it makes me a strong artiste and someone who appreciates things in life more”

She however admitted that there are some craft traits she inherited from her father.

“The only thing I got from him is my talent though it’s from God, I also got some from my dad. If I’m singing you’ll see me as a female version of my father because certain ways I sing and dance on the stage and the way I jump is like my father. These are the little things I inherited from my father, which I’m grateful for. But a situation whereby he would hold my hand and take me to this person and say my daughter or give me money never happened”.
