In an interview with a radio channel, the Toxic singer, 34, opened up about her near-death experience as she was sucked into the ocean by strong "six-foot waves".

"I went out and I thought it was like a wave pool, and I was like, This is so nice and refreshing and just beautiful. But the thing I didn't think about is when you come back, the waves really come in hard," she recounted.

"I got sucked under for, like, five minutes. I literally almost drowned. And then I came in again and another wave took me under," she added.

The Grammy winner is slated to perform at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday.
