The pop diva said on her social media account that she was first ignorant she came from an affluent family.

She mentioned that she now realises that her seemingly typical privilege was another person’s prayer point.

“Growing up, I didn’t fully realise just how privileged I was. I never had to worry about anything tbh. Thank God I see it now. What felt normal to me is something someone else is praying for. Gratitude changes everything.”
