I was busted on the ground, she declared to Anne Roumanoff in the program “It feels good”. First by a girl from my college who thought I looked lesbian. And the second time by one of her friends who left me for dead in front of my grandmother’s. ” At the time, Hoshi had filed a complaint. However, a big disappointment for the future artist. “She got a reminder of the law. So it didn’t help, she regretted. And besides, I ran into her every day. ” A disappointment that she was able to put into perspective: “I told myself that I wasn’t going to start fighting every time I met people who didn’t want me, and that I was going to do it to music.”
