I've had my ups. I've had my downs, but I've been able to push through every obstacle that's been thrown my way.
I don't curse when I talk. Unless I'm mad.
I tell myself that water is my medicine and that to stay well, I have to drink a gallon of it every day.
Juggling being a mom and an entertainer is a challenge I face every day.
I'm a tomboy at heart. I always like to say that I'm an ordinary girl doing extraordinary things.
I think it's so fun when I get to work with women writers in particular because we really understand the core story or foundation as women. That's so important to me that the authenticity is there, you know, from the place that I speak from for my women. Having other females with me helps me dig deeper.
I do not like going to the dressing room and trying on millions of outfits. I just look at something and hope that it will work. I try it on at home, since I don't like going through the whole process.
I actually have two songs I did with Nicki Minaj. We didn't even plan on doing it that way, but it was an organic connection and just a really solid connection she and I had musically.
You're only a new artist one time, and I can just say I'm so blessed. I feel so inspired to do other things, to be so much more.
For me, I like old-school rap music. There was a time when music was so, so rich overall, and the content of what people talked about was so deep on every level, song-for-song, pound-for-pound, and on radio, there was so much content. I gravitate more towards that type of music, to be honest.
There's nothing better than when a man is in tune with who he is.
It becomes obvious when people are sincere in their criticism and when they're not. I've learned over time that people will always have something to say.
I love shopping! I'm impatient though. I'll go to the mall and in 30 minutes be ready to go.
Everyone loves to dance. I've realized that's a part of what I do more and more every day.
