❝ Coachella, thank you for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline Coachella. Ain’t that ‘bout a bitch? ❞

When I decided to do Coachella, instead of me pulling out my flower crown, it was more important that I brought our culture to Coachella. There was a four month period of rehearsals with Derek and the band before we started the four months of dance rehearsals. The music and those vocal rehearsals - that’s the heartbeat of the show. I wanted all of these different characters, and I wanted it to feel the way I felt when I went to battle of the bands, because I grew up seeing those shows and that being the highlight of my year. So, I studied my history, I studied my past, and I put every mistake, all of my triumphs of my 22-year career into my two-hour homecoming performance.
