The 30-year-old "I Got You" hitmaker, who is a mother to 21-month-old son Future Zahir Wilburn, said the baby has had a profound effect on her life, reported Female First.
"Having my child is the most special part of this new chapter of my life. Becoming a mother has really changed me for the better. Having my child has allowed me to be a bit more balanced and a bit more grounded.
"I know that when I make decisions I'm not only making them for myself any more, I'm making them for him, too. I think that helps me put a lot of things into perspective," she said.
"Attention comes with the territory. You can't have this job that I have and not expect attention. Nowadays, social media just makes everything more dramatic, because one thing is multiplied by a hundred.
"A message travels faster and people enjoy drama. It's interesting to see how people fabricate things on a daily basis. But I was born to do what I do, so in a sense I'm built for it," she said.
