“I was seeing the effects of what music can do — how it can be healing and bring people joy, but on the flip side, there was this ugliness. I saw the greed and the He-Mans that were willing to f*ck over children.”

Love my small team, proud of our sweet beginnings, every step feels so rewarding.

Yes, you are like the sun so always shine bright.

Everybody is on the ‘I’ll cross the bridge when it comes’ conversation. I don’t think anybody truly knows.

New flame, I’m blowin out matches.

As far as creation goes, you just really have to not overthink and just create and be confident. If you think it’s tight, then the world is going to think it’s tight.

I used to think that love was giving up everything of yourself and giving it to the other person. Now, I’ve realized that love is when you have somebody that doesn’t make you give up half of yourself.

My lyrics are a complete 180 from what they used to be in terms of maturity. And I have a kid, so that changes everything.

I really hate finding out people that show love really be talking crazy behind the scenes. Bitch buck up and hate me with your chest.

I write most of my songs to beats. I play around on guitar, but not enough to where I can compose my own stuff or play solos. Can accompany myself cause most songs are, like, four chords.

I’m a healthy eater, but I don’t consider Chick-fil-A fast food.

I think most people don’t know that I really write everything myself. No help. There’s nobody in the studio except for me and the engineer. A lot of people don’t think I’m a singer. They think I’m a rapper.

Make-up sex, as treacherous as it can be, becomes this fun and playful thing versus this really intense thing. To me the song feels playful.

My brain kind of works in steps. I have to go through things and then process them and then write about them. I have to understand them first.

My favorite person that I had been running everything by doesn’t even make music, but he is a genius. It’s Kerby [Jean-Raymond] from Pyer Moss. -Kehlani

Success to me is only two things: happiness and stability.

I just remember falling in love with the old Chris Brown music, where it was, like, that real R&B, and I love the radio smashes he’s put out since then, but I go back to his older music for that R&B.

I’m pretty, but I’m not beautiful. I sin but I’m not the devil. I’m good, but I’m not an angel.

Don’t let them tell you ain’t beautiful.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.

The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

I like to run around. I’m enjoying traveling. I absorb as much as I can, and I get to go to beautiful places that I don’t know if I would ever visit.

People miss happiness by chasing after false values and repressing the feelings that make life valuable and beautiful.
