“I began to fear that Mos Def was being treated as a product, not a person, so I've been going by Yasiin since '99. At first it was just for friends and family, but now I'm declaring it openly.”

“The concept of being able to manifest anything is cool to me, and so I made it my business.”

“The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff.”
