    She is pretty. And how can you look like a “hoe” in a simple smiling picture? Snide jealous people in the comments….

      i don’t think they’re talking about this picture. i’ve watched her music videos and listened to her music, she comes off as a big hoe. she’s wearing a bra and acting slutty in the “all hands on deck” mv.

    Hahaha y’all so crazzy on here! She’s decent . I figured she was a swirl baby. She got that stoopid annoying song that they over play on the dam radio here in the north plus she in the proactive commercial.
