The anaconda hitmaker talks about people thinking she's stupid because she's sexy or has sexy videos, staying relevant in the game and her dreams as a little girl
How being part of idols changed people's perception of her:
“Once I did American Idol, a lot of people would come up to me and say, ‘Oh, you’re smarter than I thought. What does that mean?!”
On staying relevant in the game:
“It’s corny when rappers feel like they’ve made it and they don’t have to prove themselves anymore. You should always be competing. You should always be trying to show that you’re the best. My album is going to be important to hip-hop.”
On the challenges she faces in the music industry:
“I’m on 15 to 25 conference calls every few days strategizing with my team. I think a lot of artists sit back and have it done for them, Sometimes as women in the industry — if you’re sexy or like doing sexy things — some people subconsciously negate your brain. They think you’re stupid.”
On how her life has tremendously changed :
“I was just a little kid in Southside Jamaica, Queens, hoping one day I would have my own perfume, And now I have three.”
