She thanked her fans, whom she refers to as “KUNTS” for their ongoing support.

“I come from a very broken household and When I was a little girl all I wanted was to be loved. I’ve been all around the world but I swear I’ve never felt more understood, cared for and welcome than I have with you all. YOU are the loves of my life. I don’t need anyone else but my kunts. Thank you for everything,” she posted.

Earlier this week, the outspoken artist took to social media to let it be known that she wasn’t feeling sorry for white women who complained that this year’s Grammy Awards left the ladies out of the winner’s circle.

“Reading all this media coverage and I cannot stop thinking about how entitled white women are when it comes to the industry. They fight for themselves and only themselves and routinely seem to forget about allllllll other groups of women when raising points about “gender inequality.” It’s selfishness pretending to be virtue. Black Women Deal with this every single year yet none of the elite Hollywood feminist vanguard jumps to defend any of them. If you ask me : the Hollywood feminists all sound like a bunch of spoiled freaking brats!!! PODCAST NUMBER TWO COMING TONIGHT,” she posted.
