So I don’t take it for granted and I put my all into every single performance. I just love my ‘Hotties’ so much and I always want to give them an unforgettable show when I take the stage.
Unfortunately, the budding fashion icon won’t divulge exactly what tracks she’ll perform this weekend. “but just know that I’m ready to put on for my city.”
