As seen in a YouTube video of the interview, Lil Mo refused to mention her ex's name because, according to her, she did not want to give him a "shout out" or any form of power over her. She said:

"Saying his name isn't —I don't want to give him any type of power or leeway.

About her opioid addiction, Lil Mo explained that although the symptoms of being an addict weren't physically obvious, she was not fine on the inside. In her words:

"I was a functioning addict because I could wake up and take a pill. But I got all my teeth. I don't look like I take pills. I didn't have the gray skin. I was still able to perform, but my soul? I was a dead woman walking."
