The only thing that was economic, I might say, about my music career, aside from the fact that I did everybody's tax returns in the band, was the decision I made to leave the music business on economic grounds.
I gave up acting while I just pursued my music career.
I've been offered roles in Indian films, but I wanted my debut film to be from Pakistan. A lot of people think that I've made my music career from India, but that's not true. I made it big in Pakistan, and then I went across the border.
I was kind of torn between playing music or playing college football. I was going to college and really focusing on my music career.
Anyone that has a music career and an acting career I think is pretty fantastic.
Nobody is going to hand you a music career.
I was a little hesitant to do 'Love & Hip-Hop' because sometimes reality TV can be good for your music career and sometimes bad.
Honestly, the biggest setback to my music career was people's perception that I was a reality TV star, not a rapper.
My real friends are definitely the people I grew up with - the people who don't care about my music career at all.
There are a lot of options when it comes between music and acting. For me, because I'm so passionate about my music career, you have to be extremely passionate when you have opportunities like films and real money actually coming to you compared to with music.
