I dont need that kind of clout. Its not that deep for me, I just want to sing and dance. What happened yesterday, I escaped with the best possible scenario.
I had a whole bottle of acid on my face. I escaped by holding onto the knife and still have few bruises. Ive scars from the knife. Im glad this was live, and there is ample evidence, she added. (Vanguard)
