“Hey, America, washpoppin’? You might know me as that annoying dancer on social media that be talking hella crazy, with the long nails and the big ol’ t*tt*es, but I’m just a regular, degular, shmegular girl from the Bronx.”

Her conflict with DJ Self attracted attention as well. He was "the hottest DJ in New York or whatever," as she put it, and as long as he helped get her music broadcast, she was alright with him seeing other women.
