Im not really into the whole lyrics thing; I just like to make music that people like to listen to.
The fans are probably the only thing I can really see that's real.
Once I got to the age where I was like, "I could just do it by myself," they was like, "Go do it."
I'm big into stocks. I've invested in a lot of stocks. One day I was talking to my accountant, and he was like, "Yo, what if I could turn a million dollars into $20 million?"
A lot of people got something to prove. If I had something to prove, I proved it already, so why do I have to go showboat? Like, I don't say I got the hottest song in the world. And, personally, I think otherwise.
I got my own sound; nobody sounds like me.
I love making music. It's just something that I can't stop doing.
When I was little, I got into a little accident, and it gave me congenital glaucoma in both of my eyes.
I just consider myself an artist. I dont really rap. I dont really sing. I just do what I feel is good, and people like it.
You want the people to know, but you don't really want the things behind it. I have everything I ever wanted. I never wanted a big house. I never wanted a Ferrari. I mean, as I proceeded with the music, I started liking Ferraris ...
After the years of me trying to figure out what I wanted to do with myself, I knew I had to go back and fix some things. I can't just be super-rich or whatever and not do the right thing.
I just want everybody to know my music and get to know my squad, Remy Boyz; just to show people New Jersey. New Jersey got talent, too. I mean, everybody sleeps on us, and they put us as the underdog.
Fetty Wap is just a face. It's just a name and face.
When you really work hard for something that you genuinely and truly love, and you don't want it to fail, it's a good feeling to see it do good.
