The Different Kind of Love Song hitmaker sat down in an interview with Jennifer Hudson on her talk show, where she recalled a life-changing moment in her career.
"I lost all the money I had worked for at some point," she said.
The musician noted that she had to work up again, especially since she needed to provide for her family, adding, "So I had to start at ground zero, and I didn't know what I was gonna actually do to make a living for my kids."
