FKA Twigs could easily become a media darling, but she continues to stay out of the limelight as much as possible in order to keep her privacy intact as well as her artistic persona. By appearing in editorials that have as much of a surreal edge as an urban one, FKA Twigs manages to maintain a mysteriousness that allows audiences to connect with her in their own way.
Yet in the article accompanying her cover shoot for the latest issue of Complex Magazine, FKA Twigs opens up about her relationship with Robert Pattinson -- namely how their engagement was outed by T-Pain. She tells the publication, “It’s fine, I’m a pretty chill person, do you know what I mean?” She does go on to say how difficult media attention can be.
