In a candid interview on the ‘BagFuel, rapper Auntie Piggy opened up about her experiences with both the highs and lows of her life and career. She discussed the trials she faced, including the impact of a viral hit, surviving multiple gunshot wounds, and the challenges that came with rebuilding her life and trust in others. The rapper detailed how her song ‘Pressure’ went viral, giving her the breakout moment many artists dream of. With its catchy hook, “Who she thinks she is, pressure,” the song gained traction, but just as her career was poised for success, a violent incident derailed her momentum. She revealed that she was shot six times, which not only affected her physically but also took a toll on her mental health.
The shooting left her with life-threatening injuries, and recovery was difficult. She explained how the bullets came dangerously close to major arteries, leaving her in a coma and battling long-term physical pain. Her sister, who was shot 14 times in the same incident, survived as well, further highlighting the magnitude of the tragedy.
Throughout the recovery, she found herself struggling with trust issues, not just within her professional circle but also in her personal life. Reflecting on the incident, she explained that the shooter’s motive stemmed from a prior altercation in which she fought someone—an event that later escalated into the shooting.
The conversation took a personal turn as she recounted the difficulties of healing both physically and emotionally. She revealed that during her recovery, she was in a toxic relationship that compounded her struggles. The man she thought would be there for her after the shooting was absent, leaving her to rely on someone she wasn’t emotionally compatible with.
Despite the setbacks, the rapper is focusing on her future. She’s learned from the challenges she faced and is now determined to navigate the industry with more clarity. She admitted that while rapping may not have always been her biggest passion, it works for her and aligns with her life now. With her talent and a newfound sense of direction, she’s ready to take the next steps in her career while leaving the pain of the past behind.
