Then continued, “I low-key feel like I make the kind of music Rihanna will like. I just feel like she would like my music. So when I finally met her she was like ‘I’m so happy to see you.’ I was like ‘Me? okay.’ I got to hang out with her and talk and vibe and it was amazing.” The host also asked to throw insights on how she feels about attaining success at a mere 21.
