“IDGAF F-ck y’all … y’all can call me Mexican,” she said in response to the harsh criticism at the time. “[You can] bring me down and hurt my feelings talk sh-t about everything – that’s why I don’t release music.”

Taking to Instagram later in the week, the GRAMMY winner shared that she’s calmed down since the incident and supporters shouldn’t worry about her mental health.
