Before giving any answer, Jeter’s ex-flame repeated the question, “Do they have influence on my music?” Then, after laughing at the question, she said, “You can’t really put those two people in the same category because one isn’t really a different generation, they just started singing later. But when you talk about Beyoncé, I think she’s wonderful. She’s great. She’s a talented person.”
