Meanwhile, the rapper opened up about her difficult childhood, marital woes, and struggle with body image. The Anaconda hitmaker discussed substance abuse and how it is particularly prevalent among famous people while recounting her Percocet addiction.

‘’ Take a look at some of our most well-known figures. Like Michael Jackson, they eventually either face ridicule and lose interest in going outside, or they face criticism and silent struggles, like Whitney Houston,” Nicky said.
