“I remember having a conversation with Drake just before I signed. He said, 'Make sure that, whatever you do, your opponent is scared of you.' That really stuck with me.”
“I was singing R&B before I was rapping, and I never really enjoyed it. But when I started rapping, I was like, 'This is sick - I'm actually alright at rapping!'”
“I have my own thing going on; I don't want to imitate anyone else.”
“I used to love 'Ladies Night' by Lil' Kim so much that I performed it in school without really knowing what it was about. I just knew that she was getting at a guy and winning.”
“When I was 18 or 19, I started writing raps properly.”
“When it's my show, I know that everybody is there to see me - but I like a challenge, and I like the fact that at festivals, not everybody is there to see me, but I have the chance to convert people.”
“You can't tell someone how to write their own book.”
“I do like a red carpet. Unfortunately I'm always under-prepared when it comes to outfits. I'm so busy running around I don't get time to do fittings.”
“I want people to hear me and feel like they can be bold as well.”
“Most people don't know that I'm down to earth until they meet me.”
“I don't want to sound like anyone.”
“If you're shy when you're singing, that's the worst combination.”
“For the majority of the time, the songs I like, other people seem to like, so that's good.”
“I always support anyone who I think is dope, female-wise. Whereas a lot of females are scared of other females.”
“When I'm in the studio with a writer, I don't mind for them to take the lead and show me something new.”
“Since I was 19, I've said, 'I'm gonna sign for a million.'”
“I didn't think rap was me. But I was shy to sing in front of people. It'd be so off because I was shy.”
“I love recreating, and I love elevating - anything I do I want do ten times better every time.”
“Growing up, I was definitely surrounded by music all the time. My parents used to always play music; my dad used to have reggae on. I remember walking around with a cassette recorder, and I used to just record the songs I would hear on the radio so I could play it back when I feel like.”
“I feel like there should be someone to stick up for women and make them feel good and beautiful about themselves.”
