Put out great music, and that's that

I devoted my career to building an affinity with my fans who have supported me unflinchingly and no barbed wire fence or prison wall will stop that.

Being in jail, it's humbled me in a way I never imagined.

I'm a child of the Women's Movement. I always believed that I could do anything. That women didn't have to be limited in any way.

All my friends were in the park smoking weed and getting pregnant. I didn't want to be the young black girl having a baby, a baby's father, being on welfare. That wasn't going to be my story.

I am racing to the studio the moment that God affords me the opportunity to hear again.

I'm not at every party; I'm not seen everywhere. That's why people still care about my brand.
