“I would be lying if I said I work out,” the 25-year-old said in an interview with DJ Duffey for VladTV in 2014. She added that she did exercise on an elliptical machine, but “I do the lazy workouts. Even squats hurt for me.”

“That’s the thing,” the R&B singer continued. “I was 6 years old with a six-pack. I was one of those brolic little kids. So once I got older I realized, ‘OK, this is not going anywhere.’ My arms are already kind of naturally brolic, so I try to work on the things that I want more toned,” like her legs.

“Let me put it like this: At some point Little Debbie was sending me boxes of cakes,” she admitted. “I always tell my mom I’m allergic to vegetables. I can’t eat ’em. I’m real funny. Like, if I can’t pronounce it or spell it, I’m not eating it. I’m more of a fried chicken, baked macaroni — I eat everything. I don’t eat healthy at all.”
