Victoria Monét took to her Instagram platform to talk about her battle with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) this week.
The 34-year-old singer – who brought her daughter Hazel to the Grammys this year – shared a photo of herself performing at Coachella on her Instagram Stories and reflected on how the disease has affected her body.
“Hello… I have gained a lot of weight and it has moved to many places lol on my face, arms, stomach and most effectively… dat*ssss,” she wrote to his 1.8 million followers.
She wore a backless bodysuit with leggings for the show, singing her hit songs with an image of the moon projected behind her.
Shedding light on her physical changes, she added: “I’m usually very critical and frustrated because PCOS really bothers me, but hopefully at least now there are two moons on stage.”

The 34-year-old singer – who brought her daughter Hazel to the Grammys this year – shared a photo of herself performing at Coachella on her Instagram Stories and reflected on how the disease has affected her body.
“Hello… I gained a lot of weight and it changed in many places lol face, arms, stomach and more effectively… dat*ssss”, she wrote to her 1 .8 million followers.
About one in 10 American women of childbearing age are diagnosed with PCOS and it affects the functioning of the ovaries, which impacts fertility.
There are three main characteristics of this condition: irregular ovulation, increased testosterone levels, and small fluid-filled sacs that form on the ovaries.
This results in a range of symptoms, including little to no periods, weight gain, and excessive hair growth.
Despite the less than ideal effects, Monet did not let his health stop him from enjoying his time at the annual festival.
On Tuesday, she shared a collection of footage from back-to-back weekends in Indio, California, on her Instagram grid.
In the caption, she wrote: ‘Damn Coachella. I loved you and you loved me back Thank you so much!!!’
The grateful artist added: “We had the time of our lives.”
The reel highlighted rehearsals leading up to her shows as well as her live sets, and she recorded the soundtrack to her hit song On My Mama.

It comes after earlier this year the mother-of-one shared a special evening with her three-year-old daughter Hazel as they both attended the Grammys for the first time.
She told People in December: “It’s a really big deal. I think this is another full circle moment for me because during pregnancy everything was really scary.
“People were telling me how bad it could be for a career, how detrimental it could be to everything.”
Hazel was nominated for an award alongside her mother after her vocals appeared on her album Jaguar II.
Monet added about sharing this special moment with Hazel: “Pregnancy goes into uncharted territory and no one’s story is the same.” So to see one of the scariest moments of my career turn into one of the best moments of my career is truly magical. I am honored to have this distinction for her.
