  • "If you say that you’re humble, you’re not humble. You gotta wait until somebody tells you that you’re humble."
  • "Ain’t no more beefing, I’m just keeping to myself. I’m my own competition, I’m competing with myself."
  • "A lot of people always question, ‘What else can she do, what else can she do?’ And I’m going to show you."
  • "If you want it, and the more you keep hearing you can’t have it, you just go and get it."
  • "I will tell you that you can use your personality and be bubbly and be yourself in any field that you’re in. That alone will take you far."
  • "I have really good parents. They are poor. They have regular, poor jobs and whatnot. They real good people and whatnot; I was just raised in a bad society."
  • "Anything a man can do, I can do. I can finesse, I can hustle. We have the same freedom. I was top of the charts. I’m a woman and I did that. I do feel equal to a man."
  • "I used to worry a lot. I still worry a lot, but not about the things that I used to worry about because my younger self, I didn’t regret anything that I ever did… I was happy, and I was free, and I was living it up."
  • "I gave you everything. What’s mine is yours. I want you to live your life of course, but I hope you get what you dying for."
  • "I was always scared to follow my dreams because if I follow my dreams and I fail, I can’t dream about it anymore. It’s easier to settle for less."
