This is where the guys who copy me are planted: I do not use auto-tune, I sing. That's my advice!

I'm signed to Atlantic through 300 Entertainment [Lyor Cohen's label]. That is my only contractual relationship.

I know that everybody listens to me, but only my true fans will go and buy my album.

I know I have this image but in reality, if you take all my records, I had to use five or six [tracks].

It was [Kanye West] who spoke, and then we met and recorded some songs. After, you know what it is: we all bump like crazy.

I feel close to [Kanye West]. We're friends, this is not just a working relationship.

I am not versed in production software. I have basic knowledge, but it ends there.
