Rapsody opened up about the realities of the music industry during a recent interview. Speaking with TT Torres on Hot 97 on Wednesday (Dec. 20), the Grammy-nominated rapper discussed how at one point she almost bowed out of Hip-Hop.

“It wasn’t hard to be myself,” explained the 40-year-old. “But it’s hard to be who I am in the music business and feel that people care or there’s space for you or people value you just as much as they value somebody who may be more entertaining.”

She continued, “It’s hard to want to continue the journey and that was a real thought for me. I said it in ‘Asteroids‘ – ‘I almost went ghost, like Lauryn [Hill]’.”
