Just do what you want to do, and who cares what people think. That's always been my thing.

I never freestyle. I always give a written verse cause I just don't wanna go out like that.

People say I'm destroying hip-hop, and I'm like, there's so much hip-hop, and it's so popular, so I don't know why I have the power to destroy it.

I used to have visions of being a star all the time, but I never knew I wanted to be a rapper.

My mom and dad got divorced when I was, like, 8, and when I went to my dad's house on the weekend, he'd play a lot of music: Miles Davis, Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Elton John.

I don't eat fruit.

I always hear I have the voice-over voice.

I'm genuinely, near and dear, truly rich.

Not really a perfectionist, but everybody around me is.

I like penny loafers.

Ain't nobody ever seen a picture of me with no gun. I have my guns for safety.

My only verse I remember really working on was 'Mixtape,' and I took 45 minutes on that because I wanted it to be tight.

I've got songs that sample 'Mario Bros.,' 'Charlie Brown,' the 'Rugrats' theme, the music that plays when you turn on a Gamecube.

Me and Uzi aren't friends. We used to be cool. It's not beef; it's just competition. That's all it is. We're not friends.

I want to say it's important that you vote, that you get out there.

They treat you as if you are a different kind of human or life form when you are a celebrity - as if we don't breathe the same air, or we don't bleed the same - and I hate that. I really hate that.

I don't wear anything more than once most of the time. I try not to wear the same thing twice. I have too many clothes to wear the same thing twice.

I don't think men dress to look attractive; I think they dress to look cool.

If you got the talent and the drive, there are ways to get noticed.

I feel like Soulja Boy was one of the smartest when it came to connecting with your fans and taking that to another level.

I'm out here trying to promote positivity on a global scale.

I always felt like I had something to prove. It's always been, 'I gotta show them that I can still rap. I gotta show them I can still make a hit or sell out a show.'

I was always curious about, like, how does hot sauce work? Growing up I used to wonder, 'If I touched it, was it hot?'

When I made 'Lil Boat,' my first mixtape, I didn't have a drop date, a due date. I didn't have critics rating on it; I was just making it. And then when I finished it, I dropped it at my own smoothness, at my own pace.

I had braids before. They were real long, and they were black, but my mom made me cut them for the McDonald's job. Then, when I got the job, everybody had long braids and colored hair.

I hate being alone. That's why I like being with my friends: we've got energy; we're social as hell.

Any post I do on social media, any song, anything in general - I just try to promote positivity, because I felt like there's not enough positivity going around in the world.

One thing Kid Cudi did that I always wanted to do was the crop top, but I need to get in shape if I want to do that.

Lil Boat 2' people liked, but it was all rap. Some thought it was too much.

I used to have visions of flashing lights and red carpets.

I want to help, and I wanna learn more about what's going on in the world. I just wanna be alert.
