When I do music, I don't feel like it's competition. Then again, it kinda is, but I don't like thinking like that. And I don't understand why they do that to women and, especially, women in hip-hop.

I have real good parents. They poor. They have regular, poor jobs and what not. They real good people and what not; I was just raised in a bad society.

I'm about this shmoney.

I just feel like I influence people because I'm like - I was practically homeless.

I'm a funny person, but I take my music seriously.

I worked at this supermarket called Amish Market. Everything is, like, organic.

Me and my mom are pretty cool. My mother's Caribbean, and she gets a little spicy, and I get a little spicy back.

What I'm trying to say to girls is don't let these guys be in your head.

I'm not domestic. I think I will be. I love kids. I really want to have a kid, but I'm not a domestic person.

A lot of designers, they did tell me no. They didn't really wanna work with me.

That was an organic relationship. He reached out to me, and I was like, 'Oh my God, I cannot believe somebody like Laquan Smith wants to put his clothes on me.' He comes from a small place, and he has big dreams, and what I like about him the most is that his clothes curve with your body.

I really don't look up to anybody that is doing that great in life, because I don't know their story.

I don't feel like anyone should follow what I did.

I never thought I was going to be popular; I never thought I was going to be famous.

When I was 19, 20, 21, I wasn't extremely thick.

I need to make money for my family and my future family. I'm not a YOLO person.

It's not even the female rappers that are catty - it's the fans. They just want that beef.

That's why I be so careful with my money and always try to invest. I see people who have it all and then lose it.

I used to tell myself that I will always be myself.

Libras like to take risks!

I love Lady Gaga. When I was in high school, I really wanted to dress like her.

You can't tell me that I can't dress!

Whatever hair color I have on my head, that's what decides what type of outfit I'm going to wear, because not everything goes with your hair color. That's why I switch it up.

Summertime, this is the time that you flex.

Instagram has said plenty of times that I'm pregnant, Instagram has said a lot of things about me that are not true, so I don't even know where that's coming from.

I used to worry a lot. I still worry a lot, but not about the things that I used to worry about because my younger self, I didn't regret anything that I ever did... I was happy, and I was free, and I was living it up.

We might as well be true with ourselves.

To me, music is art and fashion is art, but fame? Fame isn't art, but the person you become when you're famous - your alter ego - that's art.

Make more than the guys you thought you wanted to be with.

I yam who I yam; I'm not somebody, like, standard.

This is my work ethic: I do not want to raise my future kids where I was raised, and I know the only way to do it is working, working, working, working, working.

I don't want to live in a small Bronx apartment. I don't want to have three kids that got to share one room.

I have 100 percent Bronx pride, like it's a country, like I am the Bronx.

I could really make a song of hurt, because I've been hurt by a lot of men. I'm talking about, like, how sad I be when a dude curves me. And I never talk about that because I refuse to let people know that I get sad because when a man don't answer my calls.

A lot of people always question, 'What else can she do, what else can she do?' And I'm going to show you.

I don't know how to drive.

I'ma sound like all your favorite rappers.
