“My fans are my family, because they understand me and I understand them.”

Let’s say your past is your present and your present is your cash, So I look forward to the future.

To be honest, I think about the clubs when I write. But I should probably start thinking about stadiums, because the songs sound even better there – and bigger.

I could sit right here and have a 15-minute conversation with somebody and change their whole life.

Honestly, I’m on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.

Everyday, all day I have to be productive. And when I ain’t productive, I get concerned.

As long as I’m not selling out the people that ride or die with me, I’m glad I’m not an MC. I’m a motivational speaker. I’m not that rapper dude.

I love the streets, and the streets love me back. And when things ain’t going the way they should go, they let you know… and when they happy, you gotta keep ’em happy.

I’ve pretty much done records with everybody.

Married to the game. If we’re dancing with the devil at least teach us how to dance when the son of making dollars.

There were a lot of songs that I still wanted to put on the album but it worked out. I can only fit 18 [tracks] on the album, I would put 30 if I could.

I ain’t never been the type of person out at the movies and holding hands and riding around listening to R. Kelly.

I’m a motivational speaker.

Love don’t love nobody got me feeling like, I shouldn’t love myself.

The craziest thing is that the song [“My President”] is real but you can still hear it in the club.

It definitely changed the game. I happen to be in the game around [the time] when the internet kicked in.

When money was plentiful, I was the first one who told you to stack it. Live your life with it. Now that money slowed up, I’ma be the one telling you to save it like they ain’t gon’ make it no more.

I wanted a house near my family in a quiet neighborhood with a front yard and a backyard that my dog will like.

In my dressing room, you’ll definitely find some Starbursts and Skittles. I have a lot of candles that remind me of home, and a humidifier for my voice. I also have some digital Kodak albums where I have pictures of my friends and family.

I believe I can make all the money I’ve missed. But I can’t regain the time with fans and family.

My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me.

My mother was a dominant force in our family. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.

Some of us are here to be the change-makers in our family system. We’re here to end generational trauma and start passing down love, instead of pain.

People think they have a perfect idea of who you are from a four-second Snapchat video… and fake blogs, stories, magazine covers. In reality, that’s not the case. Nobody knows who I am except family and my close friends.

The most important thing for me is my family, and my health and happiness, and making sure everyone’s cool.
