I think I'm cool. That's all that matters.
I'm a pretty nice dude. I have fun, and people take it the wrong way.
I wasn't shy, but I was really hyper. Nobody got my sense of humor. I was a black skater kid.
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.
I want to design jewelry for girls and guys... I'ma spread it out, but I'ma design, probably when I'm just designing furniture and buildings, I'll probably being the jewelry thing, too.
If the world was ending, I think I would grab some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a bunch of water, and I'd probably just... I'd probably go crazy.
I never had a drink in my life. I don't smoke or anything.
Rap is really just too conventional. Everybody does the same thing. No one ever pushes the box.
I want to make as much money as I possibly can so that when my day comes, my mother and sister is fine. My close friends are fine. They don't have to worry about anything ever again.
I'm an optimistic guy. I'm one of those big dreamers. I'm one of those kids with that annoying imagination.
I don't like people around me sad. I like making people happy.
For the record, I don't worship the devil. I just hate religion.
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 don't have a therapist, so I use me as my own therapist when I'm making the music.
