In the snaps, she appeared in a hoodie in some slides and a matching bra top in others, sporting heavy winged eyeliner and shimmery shadow on her lids and under her eyes. Alongside the self-portraits, she delved into details about her latest song and teased a forthcoming music video in the caption, writing,

"Altho I do genuinely love and adore this song ngl, @anyma - if I ever get to do a video for it rly feeling some sci-fi phantom of the opera thing where I'm the phantom, and we're the only two ppl left on a giant spacecraft that's lost contact. Like toxic horror pseudo-Victorian gay space romance."

In addition, she raved about her tattoo, disclosing that she "got a bunch of amazing pics of it," describing it as a "masterpiece." The "Geidi Primes" singer's music promotion comes after revealing that she had cut ties with her record label Columbia Records after three years. 

Despite her departure from the company, The Blast reported that the "Visions" artist took to Twitter to express her enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (A.I.) and confirm her departure from the music company. 

On her official account, she posted a screenshot of an article that addressed fake hits by Drake and The Weekend, made using A.I. She expressed her thoughts about the matter, writing:

"I'll split 50% royalties on any successful AI-generated song that uses my voice. Same deal as I would with any artist I collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings."
