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.

I was baptized a Baptist, but I'm just Christian, as far as I'm concerned. I could go in any church, doesn't matter if it's Baptist, Protestant, Episcopal, or Catholic.

I don't have to take a trip around the world or be on a yacht in the Mediterranean to have happiness. I can find it in the little things, like looking out into my backyard and seeing deer in the fields.

I'm the daughter of a sister whose the mother of a brother who's the brother of another.

Beauty is not just a white girl. It's so many different flavors and shades.

I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences... I'm human, not perfect, like anybody else.

Let your inner queen's voice come through loud and clear. Be strong, be authentic, be you, and you'll do her proud.
