The songstress had always remained tight-lipped about her private life until she started her relationship with Future and enthused about him on such songs as "Body Party." "The way that he makes me feel, why not? If you love somebody you should express it, and now I understand that," she gushed to MTV News. "There's nothing sexy about hiding your love.

She said: "They were killing it, and I just went, 'This is what I want to do. I'm gonna be an entertainer.' The first goal I wrote down was to get discovered. The second was to sell 3 to 4 million records. Third, have longevity."
