Her high-profile divorce placed her at the centre of public scrutiny, and she said it is the downside of being famous.

The Superman singer said: “It is the life of someone who is in the public eye. I guess it is the downside of it. You take your phone, and you want to read something, but you are shaking. Your stomach is turning. You find people saying whatever they want about you, and they don’t care.”

Why Bucie had to be strong for her kids

Bucie further added that she had to stay strong for her kids, mother, and herself.

“At some point, you have to be strong for your people. I had to be strong for my mom, I had to be strong for my sisters. I had to be strong for my children, and I had to be strong for myself,” says the singer.
