I’m working on this fashion line that’s all inspired by Vietnam. I’m Vietnamese so a lot of the clothes are inspired by Vietnamese culture, and I’m trying to mix that with the streetwear style.
Social media is so powerful now, and with all these blog sites and YouTube channels and videos, it makes it more and more relevant to bridge artists together.
Just to stay focused on my path and not the path that other people or media want to put me in. Just to stay focused on my vision, because I put out what I want people to know about me. Everything else is what the media puts out.
The media has a lot of power, and everything I do is what I want people to see, whether it’s putting out a new single, dropping a new album, doing a new movie or new collab with a designer – this is what I want people to see.
I guess with the generation we live in, we just want to be entertained at the end of the day. A lot of artists make themselves accessible, so they feel like every artist should be like that. Some artists shouldn’t be so accessible, to me.
I like comfortable clothes. Most men in the world wear T-shirts every day and jeans. I wanted to always put my street style to the high fashion looks and just make it comfortable and make it look stylish.
Lil Wayne would probably be a big musical inspiration for me, because growing up I was just the biggest Wayne fan and being able to be signed to him and watch his whole journey to the peak of his career is great.
I’ve always been into dressing and being stylish because I feel like that’s where I gained a lot of my confidence and swag as a rapper, so fashion goes hand-in-hand with music to me.
