The platinum-selling songbird admitted to her anxiety during a recent interview with Jason Lee for his brand-new REVOLT show.

“You know what? This is something that — it’s like, I need to stop letting the internet control my life. Because I didn’t want to submit ‘WAP’ because I was afraid that if I win or if I… You know what’s so crazy? The internet got me even afraid of winning. That is insane.”

In August 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, the sex-positive smash arrived. It was the first female rap collaboration to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. At the time it had the biggest opening streaming week in music history in the United States.

“We were in bed. We were supposed to go to LaLa [Anthony]’s party in New York, and my daughter threw up all over my costume. Halloween was over ’cause it was just so much throw-up on the custome and I ain’t have nothing to wear.”

“So we just fell asleep, and out of nowhere, Offset’s phone kept ringing, my phone kept ringing. Offset picked up the phone and he was just like, ‘No!’ He’s screaming and screaming. He’s screaming like, ‘No! No! No! No!’”

“I’m like, ‘What’s going on?’ And he’s like, ‘TakeOff is dead.’ I smacked him and said, ‘Don’t say that!’ And then he’s just like screaming and throwing things, throwing up, running all over. And I was so scared, I was crying so much. It was terrible.”
