One reason is because I was not being recognized the way I thought I should be recognized, so I stopped putting so much into what I was doing 'cause I was like 'Oh they don't care about it anyway...'

Right and a true woman will see that. And I have kids, so I'm always telling my sons...shower!

You have to do all you can as a parent to stop your kid from doing all the craziness that's going on in the world. And although I still have music that's saying one thing, I still let them know what it is, and I'm not doing anything in my music that I wouldn't tell my kids about.

I think doing shows with other R&B artists like myself brings the attention to the crowd. You can't just do those one artist shows anymore. I don't like just me being on the show.

Honestly I can truly say, it would be, nice, but I don't feel like I got to get a Grammy or something to feel official. I'm cool but it would be nice Grammy Awards!

Everybody has their own little thing, but I don't do that. But my wife might take care of my nails or something, but I'm always groomed, I'm always, making sure I smell good.

The great thing about [Michael] Jordan was that he made them want it just like he wanted it. And a lot of times like a lot of the basketball players, not to be getting on basketball, but, with a lot of the basketball players you might have one superstar on the team, and they're not willing to play up to par with the way he is, so they don't make it. But then you have some celebrities on the basketball team, and they don't know how to get along with each other!
