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.
@tinashee r u also Zimbabwean
I’m mixed with Angolan, Portuguese, French, Irish, & a lot more..
SHE’S CUTE I GUESS. SHE LOOKS LIKE A HOE THO…
Um no offense to her, she’s pretty, but who in the hell is she?! She’s a nobody, why is she on here? Never even heard of the bitch!
She’s “famous” cuz she did her “one-hit wonder” song called 2 On with a rapper named Schoolboy Q.
