Most people don't have so much talent that they can become a success all their own. We all need people to help us and lift us up.

I had to grow to love my body. I did not have a good self-image at first. Finally it occurred to me, I'm either going to love me or hate me. And I chose to love myself. Then everything kind of sprung from there. Things that I thought weren't attractive became sexy. Confidence makes you sexy.

I already enjoy cooking. I like different flavors and putting different things together and really like taking normal recipes to a higher level.

The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, 'poppin' bottles' and how many girls they can 'tap,' it distorts what kids are learning. I think if there was more of a female presence in hip hop we could break up the monotony. It's all about balance.

You do silly things for love sometimes and not-so-smart things for love.

Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.

As a rapper, you sort of act in music videos and in the persona you adopt onstage. You kinda have to put yourself out there and be courageous even to be a rapper. So, to step into acting was not that difficult a transition to make.
