It’s like no one listens to Marshmellow!
Halsey said they were treated “like a teenage mother” for her decision to have a baby with boyfriend Alev Aydin, which sparked “feelings of shame” at the 26-year-old music star.
Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Halsey, who added “she / they” as favorite pronouns on Instagram in March, explained, “I’ve worked hard for this pregnancy and it was like I’m financially independent, I’m pretty far in my career, it seems to me the right time to do it ”.
But the “Closer” singer, whose real name is Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, said the reaction to her pregnancy from those around her was, “Oh my God, you’re so young and you have so much to do with your race, and you’re not married, and you’re this.
“Well fk ‘me,” they concluded. “It was just like I will do what I want to do. Do you know what I mean? I was like, that’s important to me. “
Halsey, who gave birth to baby Ender in July, said she was having a hard time promoting her new album while she was pregnant.
“We were going out and trying to create magazine covers based on the record release, and they were saying to me,‘ Yeah, but will she be pregnant? Because we don’t want to do maternity coverage. ”
“And it was like it wasn’t maternity coverage. This is my album. I’m pregnant. And they tell me, “No, it’s a pregnant cover.” And it was like that, so I can’t go talk about my album? “
Halsey released “If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power,” a collaboration with Nine Inch Nails master Trent Reznor and his frequent soundtrack partner Atticus Ross, on Friday with very positive reviews.
