The 27-year-old singer was quick to take to the photo sharing site to furiously deny the comments suggesting that she was using recreational drugs, instead telling her followers that she was “basing with cigarette”.
She reportedly posted in a comment that has since been deleted: "N**** your lame a** got some f****** neve!!! Any fool could see that’s a joint that I’m basing with cigarette! Who tF snorts tobacco??!! FOH witcho “never been to a rodeo so someone squeezing their nose means they’re doing coke” lookin a**!!
