“I like to dabble in different things, but music is my first love. It connects to me in a way my side projects don't because it's so personal. I write the words. Music is like my diary. It's my therapy.”
“I worship God. Religion and worship are two different things to me. Religion is by the book. I think too many people rely on the textbook: 'OK, it says to do this and it says to do that, so if I do this, this, and that, then I still can go out and do wrong because I did this, this, and that.'”
“I am completely turning into my mom. Me, trying to be stern, is her. Or when I make silly voices. My mom always uses weird voices if she's talking to a kid or a dog. I'm the same person - completely my mother.”
“Coming from Ruff Ryders, there would be, like, 30 guys in the studio at once, and then me, trying to do my own thing.”
“God is my best friend. I talk to God every day. And no one can tell me how to talk to God - not no imam, not no priest, not no rabbi, no pastor.”
“I can't wait to have kids one day. Yeah. Definitely. That's the ultimate goal in life, for myself. I think that's the ultimate blessing.”
“As far as style goes, I gravitate toward anything that is effortlessly chic. I don't wanna look like I'm trying too hard.”
“I don't go anywhere without Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. On airplanes, I slather it on my face and lips - I know I look crazy, and I don't care!”
“I don't wanna be known as just a hip-hop artist. I wanna take it to a whole 'nother level.”
“I just want to produce and create projects that I'm passionate about and I love.”
