I promised my mom that if, after a year of putting 150 percent into my career it didn't work out, I would go back to school. I never did go back.

When you're rapping, you do have to perform to a certain degree, but not every rapper is necessarily a gifted actor.

I love music. I've just been putting studios together, here and at my house in New Jersey and so I can always make music and express my ideas and work with people to fine tune them to where they need to be.

It was a very vulnerable time going from being insecure about my body and who I am to becoming comfortable with me. I had to tune out what the hell everybody else had to say about who I was. When I was able to do that, I felt free.

I don't care how much money you have, free stuff is always a good thing.

A confident woman is a sexy woman, in my opinion. And I think guys find that to be the same way.

I've never been the straight rapper that is going to stand in a cipher and battle all day. I started off battle rapping, but to me, making songs became more important than freestyles... I've met many rappers who can freestyle but can't make a record.
