“She was a hero of mine growing up,” Tinashe added of Xtina, who paired a fierce OOTD video with “Nasty” on Instagram last month. “Her and Britney [Spears] they were absolute queens when i was younger. So I think just having that co-signer was pretty epic. I shouted.”

“It's so exciting,” Tinashe, whose new single 'Getting No Sleep' was released on Friday (June 28), said of the feat. “I feel like every day, it's getting better, and so I'm just trying to live in the moment because it's still going up. It still peaks in streams. It's just climbing and climbing and climbing. At first, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I've grown beyond that, and now I'm enjoying it, I'm having so much fun and I'm so excited.”
“I mean, it's a lot of fun,” she added in the post. “It's exciting. I never expected this record to come out like this, so it's a lot of fun. I'm having a great summer so far, to say the least.”
