I like the OMG Girlz. They're real and they're friends.

My cut is blunt and futuristic, and Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show, so at the end of the day, I know what I do, and I know what I possess, and I know who I am. I'm a trendsetter. The biggest form of flattery is imitation, so I'm flattered.

MC Lyte definitely embraces me. Jada Pinkett Smith embraces me. Those are two people that I can call and get advice. Those are two people that will call me to see what I'm doing.

When I was 17 years old, I put out an album while my mother was dying of cancer. That right there alone is a struggle. That's hard. That's tough for anybody.

In my day, in my era, Ralph McDaniels, just being five and being at his block party, you could just got onstage.

I like the OMG Girlz. They're real and they're friends.

I'm born to do music. I'm born to act. I'm born to dance and all of these things, and I will be respected.
