Speaking to rapper Stormzy, she mentioned that it's easy to feel like a failure when the public looks at her and tells her she is one.
The singer said she uses social media for the same reasons as everyone else does and she often come across videos saying "you're ugly and you suck and you're terrible," those are the things that makes her feel like a failure.
