Personal life
She was born on February 1998 from a French father Jean-Marc Delmas and an Algerian mother, Nadège, from Kabylie. She had a well-publicized feud with her father after he said on his own Facebook that her daughter was under immense psychological pressure and isolated from the realities of the world. He also blamed her for changing her name as an attempt to cut herself from her roots. She retorted that she was shocked and hurt by these declarations and said this was a continuation of what she described as a "traumatic childhood" in her youth adding that her own father just wanted to destroy her career to which Delmas responded: "What father would like to destroy their children and their future?".
