“Everybody think they’re famous when they get 100,000 followers on Instagram and 5,000 on Twitter.”

First black president ever, and to be living while it happened – that’s a good part of history. That’s probably the biggest person I admire right now.

I don’t like a girl on social media, when you have an open inbox, answering questions from dudes left and right, every day. What’s the point? It’s like having your number all out.

I’m always gonna be all over my CD the most, of course. My talent is my talent. I ain’t really tripping off no ego; I just like to make good music with good people.

I think it’s way harder when you have success, ’cause people tend to not treat you the same or look at you the same because they see the success or the money you make.

I don’t want to just be fully rapping my whole life.

I work hard. I focus on myself and putting food on my dinner table before anything else. I don’t worry about other artists. Worrying about the next person in a negative way is the wrong way to be.

When you do 10 interviews in one day, and 10 different sources want to talk to you, that means you’re doing good. I think about that every day.

I don’t know what type of music my son will want. By the time he starts listening to music, really, at like 15, 16, I’ll probably have 10 albums out by that time.

Work harder than anybody you’ve ever seen. That’s what I believe.

Management plays a role just keeping everything in place for you and making sure everything’s going right.

The money turned me into a monster.

Just build your brand from day one, man. Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don’t know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.

If you don’t have your friends and your family, what do you really have? You can have all the money in the world, but with no friends and no family, it’s no good.

I’ve been betrayed a lot of times in life. I think everybody’s been.

I’m not gone remix a record I don’t got no love for.

I don’t think I would change really anything about rap. Rap don’t have no limits to it, and I like it like that.

Maybe if I was British, a semi-final would be incredible. I’d be on the front page of the paper.

People expect star kids to be perfect – horse-riding, fighting.

It isn’t easy being a celebrity cricketer in India.

I don’t like being famous – it is like a prison. And driving for Ferrari would make it far worse.

For me the most important thing is being a really good person, and that doesn’t depend on what you do on stage, that depends on how you treat people when you’re offstage.

Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.

Being famous is like a dream come true but it’s really difficult because you lose your freedom. I don’t want to lose being a kid.

I’m getting my respect as a video director. The fashion industry respects me and knows who I am.
