“Confession,” she began. “Y’all done cursed me out so bad about releasing this song and my album, and thats put a lot of pressure on me. BUT I MUST ADMIT, I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG, “THE RAIN.”

She went on to say that “my whole career I’ve never got to pick a single this will be my first time. I listen to y’all my Rebels, my heart, my ear, and how it makes me feel down in my soul. “The Rain” will be available this Friday❤️*thank you to the legends Jimmy Jam&Terry Lewis for allowing me to use the sample from the original song from the legendary New Edition such an honor❤️ AND WAIT TILL YALL HEAR THIS ALBUM!!!!!”
