FANTASIA Barrino decided to dump her boyfriend after realizing he was ruining her career.

The American Idol winner says she ended her romance with rapper Young Dro — who she had dated for two years — so she could throw herself back into work.

“I mainly just focus on my career right now… Everybody wants love but right now it’s not my main focus,” she told MTV.

“When I let it be my main focus, it interfered with everything else I had going on. I kinda stopped performing. I became kinda like a housewife. People were like, ‘What are you doing? You married, you have kids?’

“I’m a Cancer woman — I love very hard. I feel right now I had to make my career my first love because I fought so hard for it — this is my boo right now.”

Meanwhile Young Dro insists there are no hard feelings with his ex.

“We spent a lot of time running around from state to state,” he said. “The time came for us to separate. I guess she was trying to do more of her music and I was getting on with my music.

“She’s cool. She reaches to me when she wants to talk. I reach out to her when I want to talk.”
