“My mom was 17 when she had me, so my parents were always working, and my grandma took care of me,” she told The Line of Best Fit. “My mom and my dad both come from big families, too – nine of my dad’s side and seven on my mom’s side. We didn’t grow up rich, or at least I know I didn’t, which is why it feels good to make all this money, because I’ve never been able to just buy whatever I wanted to.”
