Now I do feel like I have something to say. The book [How to Be a Bawse] is a guide on how to not just survive life but to conquer it. And it's based on my life experiences, all the people I've met, all the things I've learned from those people, being in the weird situations that I get in.

Finding like-minded people is very important. It's hard to be a happy meal in a room full of sad people.

Surround yourself with like-minded, strong people, use your voices and choose courage over fear.

I think you have to proactively seek out things that inspire you and consume as much of those things as possible.

I always wanted to be someone in the entertainment industry. In my eighth grade slideshow, when everyone was like "show us what you want to be," everyone [said] doctor, lawyer, [but] mine literally said rapper. I wanted to be a musician, I wanted to be a superstar, I wanted to be on stage, I wanted to perform, I wanted to be in movies. But as you grow up, those dreams kind of fade away.

I would never say, "I'm going to do these things in a video to be a role model so people make me a role model." I want to be myself.
