The 28-year-old rapper - real name Melesha O'Garro - has revealed she has been an avid fan of video games since she was a young girl and even used to stay indoors playing until she had completed a new game because she obsessed with finishing a title.

She said: "I have always been a gamer, so from young, I always used to stay in my room and make sure I complete the games. I'm one of those people who won't leave the house until i've completed it or I'll be thinking about it when I'm out. "

And the star admitted she will take her console on the road with her when she tours because it helps her to take her mind off work and to relax and it's a great way to socialise with her crew.

She added: "You know when I'm on the road it's a necessity, you need it to chill out to relax and if you've got a lot of lads around you they love to play compute as well, so yeah, it's imperative to have."

The 'Where are You Now?' hitmaker, who started rapping when she was just six years old, said she enjoys playing 'Fifa' the most but has discovered that she's also a fan of first person shooter game 'Destiny 2'.

She told AP: "Yes I mean I love games so whenever someone wants me to play games I'll play. I didn't think it would be my kind of game because ... I'm like, 'nah I'm ok with my Fifa!' But I just tried it and I didn't want to leave. I was like 'five more minutes!"
