I went from trying to get people just to listen to my music, not necessarily knowing me, to this. I didn't want to be known, because I didn't want to be Fetty Wap... Me, I'm just a background guy.

I am my own mentor. I like to listen to myself to improve.

When I was little, I got into a little accident, and it gave me congenital glaucoma in both of my eyes.

I never really thought I was going to be a singer, honestly. I never listened to singers; I always listened to rap music.

When I go to clubs, I dont have to wait outside.

Most parents have college funds and things. I don't. I call myself the "hood daddy." I got their money in cash, stashed up. I don't have plans for my kids. I just want them to be happy.

I got older - 16, 17 - I was like, "I want to do my own thing." I wasn't seeing eye to eye with my parents. It wasn't what they wanted for me.
