Although she’s proud of her roots, she told The Fader she has a complicated relationship with Colombia: “A majority of my family is tainted by their environment. They’re either moochers or pedophiles and rapists and murderers, and it’s not good to keep that energy around you. California feels like Colombia, but with less threats. I don’t have to be constantly looking over my shoulder. But I’m definitely proud to be from Colombia. I’m just going to leave it at that.”

By 18, she produced her own mixtape, “Drunken Babble,” in her bedroom.
