Lexi Jones is speaking openly about a difficult time in her life.

David Bowie and Iman's daughter shared a 20-minute video detailing various aspects of her adolescence, including her struggle with drugs and alcohol following her late father's cancer diagnosis.

"It was my first year of high school, and everyone around me was experimenting, but for me, it wasn't about having fun," she wrote on Instagram on February 18. "I was not experimenting. I was fleeing—from my complicated mind, family, and school. When everyone else's party ended, I continued on my own, drinking and getting high."

Zara Larsson is making it clear that there are certain artists she chooses not to support with her streams.

In a recent appearance on Cosmopolitan's Cheap Shots series, which aired Tuesday, Feb. 24, the "Lush Life" singer spoke candidly about her music preferences. When asked to name an artist who would never appear on one of her playlists, Larsson did not hesitate. She revealed that she has blocked several artists on Spotify, explaining that they are people she considers abusers.

"You certainly wouldn't find a Chris Brown song," she said directly.

Chris Brown has faced multiple legal issues over the years. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to a felony after physically assaulting then girlfriend Rihanna. In 2014, he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault related to a 2013 altercation in Washington, D.C. In addition, his former girlfriend Karrueche Tran was granted a five year restraining order against him in 2017 after a turbulent relationship.

Larsson has voiced her criticism of Brown before. In a 2016 interview styled like a Tinder inspired game, she rejected his song "Hotel," a collaboration with Kid Ink. At the time, she acknowledged that while she believed he was talented as a singer and dancer, she did not view him as a good person.
