Dave Hogan/Getty In 2019, as a token of her appreciation, Monét was one of six women the “thank u, next” singer, 30, famously gifted a matching ring to, alluding to her hit song "7 Rings." "I have two of them, because at one point I had lost one, and I was so devastated because I'm sometimes a bit irresponsible. That was the old me, this is the new me, but Ariana felt so bad she got another one," Monét told PEOPLE last month. She added, "Then I found the other one. So she's like, 'Just keep both,' so I have two, and I wear them stacked." Speaking about the inspiration for naming her album, Monét said, "I correlated the music industry to the jungle... The jungle is a jaguar’s environment, but it’s not always the first thing you see. I felt that way about being behind the scenes in music.”
