“I took the good from my mom, which was so many great things, but I also learned from the things that I felt like she didn’t do such a great job on, and that was to protect my children.”

She said that there had been instances in the past where she used to fight with the “music people,” and there was a point where people did not respect her, despite that she was not aggressive and loud.
