People can say she can't sell albums all day long, as long as she's selling some shit.
Kinda bittersweet because she sold all of those singles but did she at least sell 50 million albums WW?
If there's one thing I can compliment about that nasty hoe, it's her ability to make me bop. Congrats Rhivanna!!!
