The singer also stated that the media's "unfortunate portrayal" overshadowed her commitment to her art and the trust she has in her intentions.

She also addressed her fans in the post and stated:

"Know that I am not only grateful for those who appreciate and support my art, but that I FIGHT and push through all kinds of resistance to put together experiences that mean something for all of us. I love being able to bring these performances to you!"
