The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is back at it with her new documentary The London Sessions which documents the recording process of her 13 albums recorded in the UK. With the help from Sam Smith, Disclosure, Emeli Sandé, Naughty Boy and Sam Romans, the 45-minute special shows both the good and the bad of her life, pin-pointing the hardships she’s went through over the years including abuse and drama. When asked about taking responsibility for her own mistakes she said, “It was a disastrous. And a lot of it came from not paying attention; a lot of it came from just trusting the wrong people. And it was a wake up call, it was a huge humongous wake up call for me to say ‘Look, you don’t need any of these people around and I’m going to make sure that you see how fast they run when this happens.’ And it was just the biggest wake up call ever.”
However, she explained that it was all a learning process. “I’m grateful for it though and it hurt like hell because it was public and it all over and I was like ‘good Lord.’ It was very, very painful because back in the day, I’ve been through hell but with today’s social media and the news and it was something so big and disastrous it had to be for something good,” MGB added.
“And when you see the amount of it, you get to see exactly who you are. And it’s how you respond to it or react. And what I learned is that I really respond well because I don’t pay it any mind but the fact is that a lot of it hurt. But at the end of the day, you wont know it hurts. So, I just learned my strength in that. I learned my weaknesses and it’s a whole other level from back in the days. I’m somewhere else in my life. It’s a whole other strength that I learned that I had.”
