Leona Lewis has revealed that she had to be “streetwise” growing up in Hackney or else she could have turned out like Winehouse, who suffered from drink and drug addiction.
“It would have been very easy for me because of where I come from,” she told Fabulousmagazine.
“It would probably have been very easy for me to have been like Amy, but I just wouldn’t do that.”
She continued: “I’m a Hackney girl. I can handle myself. If I was in a club and someone pulled a gun, I would stay calm because it’s not out of my world.
“I grew up having to be streetwise, having to know how to handle myself.”
Lewis, whose new single ’Trouble’ is out on October 7, recently revealed that she raps along to Nicki Minaj songs in the car.
