Normani, ex-member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, gave her fans a peek behind the curtain as she revealed a few amazing things about her longtime friend Ariana Grande.

During her candid appearance at red carpet, the Dancing with a Stranger singer, opened up about how the 7 Rings hitmaker has been a biggest support throughout her career, when she was struggling with a heartbreaking split from Fifth Harmony.

"She also knows what I’ve endured," she added.

While taking a memory taking a trip down memory lane the times when she was facing hurdles in her life, saying, "This has not been an easy process for me."
