“Puff Daddy is a great party thrower. He goes down in the history books.”

“With me being an artist that took over a decade to get on, there's so many different things that I have in common with artists that's struggling to get on.”

“If I quit all the things I loved cold turkey, I knew it would only be so long before I went back to my old ways.”

“What I did in '06 with 'Port of Miami' was classic for that era, for that time frame, and in 2017, 'Rather You Than Me' will be the same.”

“I keep my family involved in all business.”

“As an artist, you find at different times you want to do different things.”

“I come from Carol City. The city renamed it Miami Gardens.”

“Watching dudes come up is one of my biggest joys.”

“I nickname my cars. Most of the time, it doesn't make any sense. One of my Benzes I call Justin Bieber. My Maybach is Oprah.”

“I love the story of 'Lamborghini Doors,' a record with Meek Mill and myself - it came together when I went to visit him during his incarceration.”

“I ain't gon' lie. I got love for Solange. She look sexy to me.”

“When I first came to Def Jam, in '06, all we ever did was win, put up big numbers.”

“When you listen to records like 'Foreclosure,' that's like me sitting in a room by myself just rapping about things that's running across my mind and things that have been bothering me.”

“In high school, I played football and became an all-American offensive lineman, but my father hadn't been to any of my games. In those instances, you still hold your head up high. But, when you look up into the stands and you see everyone else's parents cheering and supporting, you have to just stay focused and push through.”

“I'm fortunate enough to socialize with some of the greatest musicians around.”

“I'm not trying to make a particular weight. I'm just working out and doing what's best for Rozay.”

“If you're a battle rapper on the block, the emcee battle challenger, not writing your rhymes could really hurt you. When you're an artist where maybe the focus is really the talent and the different things you bring to the game, I believe it's more understandable.”

“I believe everybody got the right to live their own life the way they want to.”

“John Legend is brilliant. I feel he may be my best collaborator when it comes to delivering that undeniable soulful sound, and he does it in such a classy way.”

“My father wasn't there the majority of the time. My father, someone who I always honored and looked up to, had been in the military; he had been to war. I would hear stories about different experiences he went through, but as I got older, my father moved away.”
