The "Two Weeks" hitmaker, who is dating Robert Pattinson, says people focus more on her rather than her talent, reported Contactmusic.
"Being in the public eye is so weird. People want to shame you. It's not a celebration of a talent," she said.
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old singer - real name Tahliah Barnett - previously claimed most singers are just "vehicles".
"I'm a traditional showgirl in a sense. I spent years of my early 20s working among performance artists. That's rule one of being an underground artist: You do your own makeup, hair, and costumes... They're vehicles, vessels. The majority of them are like that. Imagine how hard that must be.
