Sometimes I'll be driving and a lyric will come into my head, and I will have to pull over and record it on my phone.
will come out a stronger, more confident woman.
My record company (Atlantic Records) was like, 'We're going to give you a week, ... I was like, 'What? I want to go into the studio tomorrow.' That's my passion, and that was the one thing that popped right into my brain, like studio, I need to go. It was more a release, not much really a relief, but a release, definitely.
Marc and Robert are both very dear friends of mine, and when I was told that they would be designing a T-shirt in honor of me and donating the proceeds to a charity that was very dear to my heart, I was completely blown away by their generosity and thoughtfulness.
Sometimes, I don't even want to put on makeup. And sometimes, I feel so unattractive and blah.
My love for the female hip hop movement has always been genuine.
I'm blessed enough to been in the game for a while and still have my beautiful fans and still have the respect. That's something that gets me going. I'm also fortunate enough to take vacation and take a little hiatus.
From being in the industry as a teenager, I'm so used to getting makeup done all day.
'Dancing With The Stars' is a little family. The cast, we're all together - we're a really friendly competition.
Honestly, I can't survive without my MAC gloss, pigment - sometimes MAC powder. But definitely my gloss and pigment and liner. I don't do mascara all the time. I do when I wear no lashes. I use the mascara, but when I wear lashes, I don't always do mascara, because it makes it real heavy sometimes.
I am definitely the queen. I definitely see myself as the queen.
When you are a real artist who is serious about your craft, you love good music. Period.
I absolutely love the T-shirts and hope that people will feel good wearing them while giving back to such an amazing organization,
has learned through rap images to identify black male culture with a culture of violence.
