Michelle attended Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University, where she joined Greek life as a Delta Sigma Theta Sorority pledge. Over the years, she tried to keep her son’s life private.
“My son Chase is the center of my universe,” she told Essence. “My fans and media don’t often see him in the spotlight with me, and that is because I work really hard to keep his childhood as normal and carefree as possible.”
