Jayda said that it was not easy for people to understand the reason behind using her child in the video and added:

"But plz keep in mind we were all acting & trying to visualize the concept to create this short film, hence to why I got up made sure nobody was around and then proceeded to embrace that I was topless.. without any knowledge of who took my @waydaminbrand bikini top because I was asleep when it happened in the film."
