Da Brat recently confirmed her relationship with her girlfriend Jesseca Dupart via Instagram, and showed off a Bentley truck Dupart copped for her. Da Brat noted she’s always been a private person, but that she wanted the world to know about the woman who gave her an “incredible birthday gift.” Now, Da Brat has given some insight into why she revealed the relationship.
While on speaking on the ‘Rickey Smiley Morning’ show with her co-hosts, Da Brat said “I’ve always been an advocate for privacy, pretty much to protect the interest of the other party, because if you're not used to this life and the scrutiny that come with it, it can break you. I've been talked about for way over 20 years so I'm kinda conditioned for it and my coat of armor is pretty thick so I've learned what to say and what not to say in the battles that I decide to choose to fight, which most of the time I just stay silent and let people speculate."
Da Brat continued on, saying “I've never confirmed anything because you know in the '90s it wasn't cool back in the day. But when you get blessed and somebody, when you wasn't even looking for nobody, love you like you never been loved before, it's like a whole different experience.”
