I was inspired to create 'My Life' so I could finally share a personal part of my life beyond my music.
I do consider myself part of black history.
There's not enough time to be disrespecting... Life is too short.
I listen to gospel music.
The younger Mary J. Blige, I would call her, she was very unaware, ignorant.
Sometimes I frown and I don't realise it.
My God is a God who wants me to have things. He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block.
Larry David makes me laugh.
If you're here right now in your life, your journey continues and you've lived to tell the story.
