"My people, it has been a long time. Life is hard. In December, my phone got stolen during a robbery. It is a long story. There was a lot of drama," she said.

"On the other hand, my initiation process is taking my time. But, I have hired a social media expert for all the technicalities for Instagram. I have finally recovered my account," she revealed. "Now, let us gossip. Who is killing it right now? Is there anyone hotter than me right now? I would like to see."
The star was trending in June after a user posted a photo of her looking rather slim, questioning her sudden weight loss.
