I’ve always had thick thighs and a butt,” she told the publication.
So, I was a little ashamed of my curves.
I tried to hide them."
Today, that’s no longer the case.
“It took a very, very long time.
Now my favorite thing about [my body] is my butt,” she said.
“The first woman I saw embrace her body was Beyonce,” she said.
She also said singer Jill Scott positively influenced her self image.
Despite becoming more accepting of her body, Bailey is well aware confidence is ever changing.
“We’re not all supposed to be perfect, like bad bitch and confident, all the time.
We have different layers, ebbs and flows to our lives,” she said in the recent interview.
“It would be completely unfair for me to portray myself to the world like I have no problems.
Because I do.”

I didn’t want to lose that story as I pieced the [songs] together."
