For me, growing up in Harlem and then migrating down to SoHo and the Lower East Side and chillin' down there and making that my stomping ground... That was a big thing, because I'm from Harlem, and downtown is more artsy and also more open-minded. So I got the best of both worlds.

God is letting me shine, because I've got a good heart.

Sometimes I feel like what's hard for fashion designers to do is take looks from off the runway and actually put it into existence, into reality. That's really the hard part.

I don't wear diamond necklaces. I'm not against it but I never could afford it, so now I just wear gold. I wear bracelets, rings, anklets.

I thought highly of myself growing up. I still do. There's not really much somebody can say to me to bring down my confidence or anything.

I just want my fans to grow up and enjoy the music first, I don't want to change the world that's not what my music is about.

Design my own line? No, I just like the culture.
