I have no problem with someone investing in me and my career whether that be a baller, an executive or just myself!”
“With the music that I make people are going to assume whatever they want about me sexually and I don't care, it's my life. I'm not talking about anything that women before me haven't done and women after me will do. I briefly stripped, I worked for as a bachelorette dancer, I've been a waitress in a strip club and I'm not ashamed, just having a regular 9-5 doesn't cut it anymore these days".
