The R&B singer opened up in the past about getting black market butt injections with hopes that altering her figure would boost her career.
"He wasn't a doctor — it was black market, it was these 'hydrogel' injections — that's what they were being called," she told People. "When I found out my favourite rapper did it, that's when I decided, 'I'm getting it done.'"
In 2017, she began to experience severe leg and back pain caused by the silicone from the injections spreading down her leg and damageing her tissue. Michelle ended up having four surgeries and two blood transfusions to remove the silicone from her body, and she used her story as a cautionary tale advising women against getting illegal plastic surgery.
"Now we know the outcome of these [injections]," she said. "Before it was up in the air, but now we know the outcome, that your body cannot handle foreign objects in it."
