My mom's never been married. I've never even seen my mom kiss a dude.
When I got into junior high school, that's when my mom let me dress how I wanted to dress. Up to that point I wore suits to school all the time.
I was born and raised in East Los Angeles by a single mom who had three biological kids and adopted four more. I never met my dad.
My mom's discipline worked out perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing.
I remember when I was 11, I told my mom, 'One day I'm going to buy you a house.' And she said, 'Boy, don't you be making promises you can't keep.' I was like: 'No, Ma, it's not a promise. I'm going to buy you a house one day.'
If you would ask my mom what books I liked growing up, I liked Dr. Seuss.
Pop is the most competitive form of music there is. You are always fighting to be adopted and accepted by the masses, and it's always shifting.
I rescue families who are losing their homes because they have no jobs and they can't pay the mortgage and the banks are foreclosing on their homes.
I don't have political agendas. I have social agendas.
I don't dream to be like mega crazy rich.
Crime and violence are the easiest emotions to reenact.
Why shouldn't a child look to want to be a political figure, to change our nation, to lead us the right directions?
If countries were people, England and France would be old men. Italy would be dead. Compared with them, America is in its 20s.
You know, the Super Bowl is so fresh that every single commercial is even on, you know, some next-level entertainment.
