Speaking in the clip, she said: "Yes, it is true. It is very bittersweet for me. I sold my property.
"I didn't sell my name, I didn't sell my brand, I didn't sell my life's work. I sold brick, mortar, cinder blocks and an amazing dance floor that is still in mint condition. The best floors that I ever stood on.
