In a 2021 interview with Zachsang Show, Barrett revealed her parents were not initially happy with her decision to move to LA. The social media influencer noted her parents told her she couldn't do anything with a career in the music industry in the city.
However, she proved her parents wrong and got her apartment and car at 17.

Later, when her mom saw her hard work and dedication to her music and work, she apologized to Barrett for doubting her.
In an interview with Elite in 2020, Barrett said her mother was incredibly encouraging and somewhat in awe. She revealed that her mother would have never imagined she could leave home and live on her own.
"She's just amazed. I flew her out here twice now, and she's come and watched my music video shoots and seen me in the studio," she explained. "She's just so happy that I've been able to follow my dreams."
