00:26I acknowledge that I have worked really hard this year,
00:30but it's like I'm not working for me.
00:35And that's why every time I walk up there or accept anything,
00:38I'm just like, y'all, thank you,
00:41and I'm just gonna go back to doing this
00:44and, you know, being creative and doing what I love to do.

01:12I know my brother listened to a lot of music and we loved music,
01:15but my mom wasn't really a singer.
01:18She would sing, but she wasn't a singer.
01:20And my dad was a dancer and I wanted to dance,
01:23so I took up dancing,
01:24and I didn't really do music like that as a kid.
01:27♪♪

02:04I would say, go on, girl.
02:07Post it. Do it.
02:09Put that out.
02:11Just keep doing whatever you're about to do.
02:15Maybe take some singing lessons,
02:17but keep doing what you're doing.

02:30The beginning of my career, I used to sit at home
02:32and make beats and, you know, music all day,
02:36so it's not too crazy, and I have a lot of fun at home.
02:41♪♪

03:10Usually when I go in to make an album,
03:12it's not about, we need to talk about my life
03:15and my personal, you know, problems and my,
03:19you know, things like that,
03:20because usually it just starts with the music
03:23and just how it sounds.
03:24It's a lot more just, like, musical
03:27and just fun to listen to.

04:25It's the most creative I feel like I've been
04:27because of that.
04:28I'm really, really happy about everything,
04:30and I feel blessed, like I said.

06:13has to get a tattoo right on his whatever...
06:16Can I say the A word?
06:18On his...cheek.
06:19He has to get...
06:21On his booty, on his booty-ooty.
06:23And he has to get it on there and prove it,
06:26and I'm going, I'm going to see it.
