Ivy Queen recalled her past before succeeding in the reggaeton world. The one who is known as one of the pioneers of the urban genre took her networks on May 1, Labor Day, to share with her fans in an emotional post what she did before achieving her dream as a singer.
Before reigning on the music scene and becoming "La Caballota", Ivy had to engage in other trades that helped her discipline and make her way in life.
Martha Ivelisse, as she is actually called, shared a photograph of her sitting in a latrine in a white top and shorts and luxurious silver knee-high boots.

The Puerto Rican accompanied the postcard with a message on her social profile in which she spoke about how she made a living washing other people's bathrooms and houses before arriving on stage, as well as taking her first steps on the music scene.
"Did you know that I cleaned toilets and other people's houses in order to earn my money to eat and survive in the time of underground music ?" He wrote.
"Today May 1, 2020, polishing the throne with the tumbao and the guapería that characterizes me," continued the famous woman, alluding to all the time that has passed since then.
"And as hatred never tires of whispering poisonous words. I remind you that the tallest oaks grow with headwinds," added the 48-year-old artist.
