Quotes

“How would you feel if I go out there on the ledge and jump off that building and kill myself? That’s what society wants me to do.”

“I was killing the European market. But when you’re a kid from New York, you don’t want to be the kid that is only being played in Slovakia. I want to go outside in New York and hear my music. I want to go to the club and hear my music blasting through those speakers.”

“I’m a true inspiration to the kids, not only with money, but showing — I used to clean tables, dishwash, deliver food 12 hours a day for like three years. I’m you, but I made myself into something.”

“I don’t wake up every day and think, “Does this person like me?” Instead I say, “How can this person hate me even more?” Because someone who doesn’t like me is not comfortable in their own skin.”

“What society is trying to do is have me crawl into a corner and say, you know what, I hate myself. I will never hate myself. I love everything I’ve been through and I will never take it back.”

“I fell in love with the life. I fell in love with the fact that I inspire people. When kids see me, they go crazy.”

“I grew up being a nobody. Genuinely, as a kid, I felt like I was just walking invisibly. I never want to feel that way.”

“I’m already at the top, now just keep making music and keep dominating.”
