“Humans have voids, and you need things to fill voids, I didn’t have a dad to fill that male model void, so when I heard Eminem or freaking seen Dave Chapelle, that’s what I gravitated to.”

My lyrics aren’t offensive. Some people find everything offensive.

I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I’m so stoked my life panned out how it was.

I like my raps, but I’m never too happy with some of ’em because I feel like they could be better.

I want to take Justin Bieber for a month and just lock him up in a cage where we sit and make music. He’s one of the most successful people in the world, but his music could be so much tighter.

I want to do films and have my name mentioned next to Wes Anderson and Quentin Tarantino. I don’t want my name mentioned next to other rappers at all.

I think I’m cool. That’s all that matters.

For the record, I don’t worship the devil. I just hate religion.

I never had a drink in my life. I don’t smoke or anything.

Somebody called me a homophobe. I’m not homophobic.

I don’t like being put in a box. I just make music, you know?

I’m an optimistic guy. I’m one of those big dreamers. I’m one of those kids with that annoying imagination.

I’m like a big 10-year-old when I’m on stage. I just go up there and do whatever I think is cool at the moment.

I wasn’t shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.

I really want to sing, but my tone of voice is really too deep to do what I want.

I don’t really listen to rap; I just like to rap.

I just live life. I grew up in a Christian family, but, you know, the way Mom brought me up is to, you know, do you, to always be yourself.

When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.

The father, the mother and the teacher are the three primarily responsible for moulding the future of the country.

I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me really safe and my dad’s not overly protective, but he’s a dad no matter what.

I’m a polygamist. I can afford to have as many wives as I can afford to have. All Africans believe in it. My dad has four wives.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

I delayed my father’s funeral because of cricket.

I obviously have a great love and appreciation of jewelry, thanks to my mother, much to the dismay of both my father and my boyfriends.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.
