When I'm in the studio, I don't finish the song and say, 'That's going to be a big ringtone.'

I don't know if a song is going to be a hit or it's going to flop. I never know. I just do the music and if people like it, they like it.

Keep in mind, you can use Auto-Tune and you can know how to work it perfectly, but you still have to know how to write a good song.

People think a Muslim has to have a turban or a big beard. It's stupid.

I've got a song on every album, two songs as a matter of fact on every album without Auto-Tune, and that's the song that nobody talks about. It's weird.

Once people tell me I can't do stuff, I'm going to go and make it happen.
