I like collaborating, but I felt I should do my first single by myself so people don’t think I’m leaning on other artists to be a success.
I love my mother. She’s my first love. She has been through a lot and is a sole survivor.
I’m close to my mother, and I could sit talking on the phone with her all day.
When it comes to size, most people don’t want to see themselves looking bigger than what they are.
MC is a funny girl and always makes me laugh no matter what. I love her!
When I first started out in the music industry and went to Elektra Records, I didn’t go to be an artist, I went to get a record label started. And they said in order to have a label deal, I had to be an artist – so that’s what I did.
I gotta feel like what I’m giving the fans is 100 per cent and that it’s game-changing. I don’t just throw out microwave records.
I put my thing down, flip it, and reverse it.
I’ve always had a lot of creative impact on the music with Timbaland.
I am very scared of wasps; my cousin was stung in the eye once.
I’m going to have to take one of my bedrooms and gut it out and make it into a big closet, because now I’m starting to put sneakers in the pantry. Even my maids are like, “No more, please! It’s too much!”
My Struggles is a record close to me. It’s about what I went through at home living with an abusive father.
I like to go on YouTube to see the underground sounds, what the kids are listening to, and kind of gauge my music around that.
The double chin’s not good for the red carpet.
What my home life is like now is great.
I want to make something commercial that people can pick up on.
I always made people laugh, and everybody wanted me to sit at the table with them. I don’t joke as much as I used to, but I can still be a little comedian every now and then.
I want to be cutting-edge.
No, because I don’t want to hear what’s hot and feel I have to copy it. I’ll just make up my own thing.
I really enjoy writing and producing for other artists. Some people save their best songs for their own albums. I’d rather give another artist one of my songs. At the end of the day, it still represents me.
