She continued, "One year ago, these women were filming this television show that would change their lives forever. They're Emmy Award-winning superstars who are going on a world tour."

In 2020, her album "Cuz I Love You (Deluxe)" won best urban contemporary album; she took home the best pop solo performance for "Truth Hurts; and "Jerome" snagged the award for best traditional R&B performance.
