While I was growing up, I wasn't like, 'My father's a rapper, so I'm going to be one, too.'

A lot of people have thrown that in my face - like 'Oh, I've never seen anything happen so quickly. She needs to be studied,' or 'She's a plant.' I just let people believe whatever they want to believe, to be honest. I don't really mind all the rumors. At first I did, but now I'm at a point where I understand that just comes with this lifestyle.

I remember my manager called me, and he usually texts, but he called, and he's like, 'You ready for this one?' And I'm thinking it's going to be some bad news or something. He's like, 'Taylor Swift has a record for you to get on from her album.' I'm playing it cool on the phone. I'm like, 'Oh, that's cool. Super cool.'

I didn't think, 'Oh, I wanna be a rapper,' but I would just rap for fun. When I realized it was possible, I was an adult already.

I fight for whatever I believe in! I've learned to trust myself. I went from a being a rapper to an artist.

I'm a real rapper.

I'm the top rapper in the world.

A lot of people are comfortable labelling you because it's easy. Like, 'He's a rapper. He can only do this. He can only do these types of shows.' I want to do everything. I want to feel comfortable being me.

I had this dream to be a rapper when I was younger.
