I studied my craft at the same place as Nicki Minaj.

Bitches ain't shit, and they ain't sayin' nuthin'. A hundred muthafuckas can't tell me nuthin'.

Back in the days, when a rapper had something to say, they used to write a diss song or a mixtape. Now at days rappers, just instagrammer or tweet about it...

It's definitely a privilege to be able to do what you love to do; it's not something that everyone gets to do, so I feel really good about that.

I started with me as Awkwafina reciting 'Othello' monologues, and I'd send those to my friends. It started like that, and then it went into more music-y stuff.

I have lived in this city my whole life and have seen the way gentrification has changed it. I'm not necessarily against transplants, as 75 percent of my good friends, roommate, and boyfriend are not native New Yorkers.
