In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the "Wild Side" singer opened up about how her mother Andrea and father Derrick's respective cancer diagnoses impacted her creativity while she made the upcoming album. The "Motivation" performer has been working on her debut album since 2018, and fans were awaiting a release while she was struggling with her parents' illnesses in private.
