“I'd like to be as big as Madonna. I'm trying to be a pop star.”

“Whenever I rap and be in the booth, I tap into my Sasha Fierce ego.”

“I want to let people think whatever about me... I don't care, honestly.”

“There was a point in time where I wasn't supposed to listen to music like that, drink caffeine and wear things that didn't go past my knee.”

“I feel like being a cheerleader you're automatically kind of considered cool, but I also had Instagram followers, so it's kind of cool because of that.”

“I excelled in my academics. But, I also was a cheerleader and I ran track.”

“Guys just want to see and have conversations with a pretty girl so why not use what God's given you to make money off of it.”

“I'm African; Eritrea. It's East Africa.”

“I love seeing people in relationships.”

“I sound good. My sound is different. My tone is different. I have a natural look, you know what I'm saying? I'm not the ugliest thing. And I have my head on straight.”

“My musical influences are Nicki Minaj, of course. She is the Queen of Rap. She paved the way for a lot of upcoming female artists. Her looks, her hairstyles, music, everything. I love what she's doing.”

“After I moved to Atlanta is when I tapped into doing music. I came to ATL my junior year of high school. It was a really big culture shock, but I loved it. I love the culture. I loved my people: our food, our music, our aesthetic, everything. So it was a pretty easy and natural switch. Super welcoming.”

“I love love.”

“I'm bringing to the game my voice. It's different. A lot of the other rap girls are higher pitched.”
