She confirmed that she still gets nervous when releasing a new song.<\/p>\n “I get nervous every single time, because you want the people to like what you do,” the star said. “You know, we wouldn’t be doing it if we didn’t want approval from our fans.

She said on The Late Late Show<\/i> that she stepped away from music due to the industry.<\/p>\n “Well, I think it wasn’t that I stopped loving music, I feel like I stopped loving the music business, you know, for a little bit,” the rapper said.\n<\/p>\n “I realized that it is in my power to navigate the industry the way I want to, and I think I was giving other people and other entities the power over how my career was being navigated. And now I’m not doing that,” she added. “I choose now to enjoy every moment of everything I am doing.”\n<\/p>\n
