I'm not competing with anyone, or begging someone to love me. I feel like I'm loved and I deserve to be where I am.

I'm known for long colorful locs but I still don't take my hair too seriously. Changing it helps express who I am.

I'm just happy that I'm able to take care of what I need to take care of, live, and do the thing that I love the most and that is to sing. People want to hear it, buy it, see it, hold it, record it, bootleg it. It's fine with me as long as it's good but when it's bad I'm in trouble!

I'm very open, I love music and I love people so you need to know what's going on.

If love found me it can surely find you. I ain't even got one sad tear left in me.

I am very proud of Zendaya for standing up for herself, her generation and her ancestors. Her response was classy. Locs are a lifestyle for some and for others an artistic fashion statement..In either case, the images express power, natural beauty, and a boldness that always stands out. It is when you truly spend time with a person that you know who they really are on the inside, and not by what you see on the outside.

I would just listen to the complaints about what I do instead of celebrating what I do, and that I'm different and in my own lane. It took a while for me to just ignore the doubts.
