While her fans adored her engagement photo, Sheard admitted that she almost ended her career in music after dealing with a lot of backlash from record labels and organizers in the industry about her weight.

In a recent interview with Page Six, Sheard explained, "they basically said I looked like the Pillsbury doughboy and I shouldn't shoot full-body images. So every time they encouraged me to do shoots from the waist up."

Although she persevered through all the harsh criticisms she faced about her weight, Sheard admitted to Page Six that some of the negative experiences still haunted her today.

The gospel star has a lot to look forward to with the release of her self-titled album which came out in April. To top off her continued success, she recently closed down the BET awards during a memorable performance with her mother, Karen Clark-Sheard.
