Nowadays when I walk around, I get noticed, which is kind of weird.

When I rap, it's just an extension of how I speak, and that's how I talk. If you don't like it, don't listen.

I have never felt the pain of not being white the way I've felt it since I've been a public figure/part of this entertainment industry.

I don't turn to anyone for advice. I do what I want.

I'm tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft. They don't even know what they're listening for or to.

No offence to Nicki Minaj, but her career has essentially been a Lil’ Kim tribute

Life is the same. It would be the same thing if I were still working at Starbucks, having to deal with a manager, and a shift manager. This is a job.
