“They took everything from me—my trust, my music, my freedom… I can’t stay silent anymore.”

Unheard Truths Revealed

During the 30-minute broadcast, the Grammy-winning artist shared intimate details about being manipulated, exploited, and spiritually drained by people she once trusted.

“I wasn’t a person anymore. I was a product—packaged and sold,” she said, choking back tears.
