That’s since King stated that her papa was seldom associated with her life, affirming that he neglected her birthday celebrations and sent her to “fat camp” throughout childhood years.
“I go four or five years without talking to my dad,” the singer-songwriter stated. “My dad called me and was like, ‘Don’t f–king talk about me in the press.’ I was like, ‘Get f–ked.’”
