I love empowering women. I think it's crazy: if you ever try to belittle women, you're playing yourself - I ride with whoever rides with me.
I've been known to wear pajamas onstage for the sole reason of wanting to make sure I'm free enough to execute new things vocally onstage and give my best performance possible.
I make bad decisions frequently. They're fun.
I used to be offended when people would compare me to Erykah Badu. Because I'm black, thick, and have large lips? There's nothing similar about us whatsoever, and I felt very disrespected by the fact that people needed to pigeonhole me. I wasn't even raised on Erykah Badu!
I always wanted to be a Klingon princess. They were so pretty, and their hair was fire. My hair is Klingon, I feel like.
I used to be very revenge-motivated, but that's just because I'm a Scorpio. Now I'm more so, like, practice honesty just because it makes you feel better.
I love Modest Mouse.
When I think of Afropunk, I think of the best of the best. I think of, like, D'Angelo.
Biochemical interactions are very interesting to me.
It's so hard for me to focus on things for a long time that I'm not incredibly passionate about.
I love when things that I'm involved in really matter and when people like me back and don't just think I'm corny.
Music, or the type of music that I'm writing, is very personal.
People grapple with labeling me as hip-hop, R&B, or pop, and it's interesting to me. I'm just making music.
I did some work on Beyonce and Nick Minaj's 'Feeling Myself.'
I use Ecoco EcoStyler gel, but the alcohol-free protein one. That's the key.
I listen to Stevie Nicks.
I love classical jazz.
I don't have a background in music... and I have a short attention span. If you put me in the studio every day, I'm gonna get lost.
My parents wanted me to go to school.
In one way, I want to heal people.
