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

Philly gave me my ambition and drive to get more. It’s a reminder to stay on top of my game. That’s not a place I want to go back to.

People say money ain’t nothing; money is basically everything.

I’m into all types of stuff. I might have on Pumas one day, Givenchy the next. I’d wear this John Elliott sweat suit to the club.

I think artists should be able to do different things whenever they want and I like the way I am. I’m like – I ain’t gonna say the only street rapper, but the only mainstream, new, young street rapper there is right now and I’m doing well with it.

I’ve always been rapping before I was making money off of it. Before I made a profit, I had always been rapping.

I don’t wear the see-through shirts or anything too glittery. I come from that ’90s school of rap. Fitted caps, because I got a big head, so snapbacks don’t fit me right.

Me and Kendrick [Lamar] have different types of music. He from a different coast; we ain’t in the same lane.

Sometimes I have to remind myself, that on my worst day I live like somebody on their greatest.

It’s cool when people know you more, but I like people to treat me regular when they see me. I take pictures. I don’t really be big on people looking at me.

I just do whatever I feel. Whatever the beat makes me say, I do that and I run with that.

They say money rule the world, you can’t pay God with it.

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.

People like controversy because that’s what sells.

The only thing my famous last name got me was a foothold in the industry. That was the easy part. The biggest problem is survival. As Fazil’s son, I am expected to know everything – acting, dancing, horse riding… I am not trained in all these, and I don’t think I ever will be.

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.
