CUPCAKKE

There are so many double standards, not just in rap, but everywhere.

There was this guy, he must have been young, who told me on Twitter: 'CupcakKe, I just told my mom I'm gay and I'm getting kicked out.' And it just hit home. I automatically replied, 'If you need a hotel, I'll pay for it. Let me make sure you're OK.'

I entertain more than just sayin', 'oh that's a female rapper,' or 'oh, that's a rapper,' period.' But, me, I put out music, and when I put it out, I also entertain on Twitter. I entertain on stage. I entertain talking to people.

Around 10 years old I started being into church and being around the church. I started doing poetry - I was doing all clean poetry, totally clean.

I just always had a crazy imagination.

I'm going to talk about my struggles and come-up.

We write love songs because love is a part of our lives.

I don't have kids, but in the future, if I ever do, I would want my child to be happy no matter what: gay, lesbian, bi - whatever. To see a smile on my child's face would be the only thing that would matter and keep my blood pumping.

I love 'HUMBLE' because he spoke on women with stretch marks and that's what I live and stand for is body positivity.

I feel like I'm an entertainer.

I'm an open book. People seem to like people that are very open - accepting, and not rude.

I have three alter egos.

The reason I have LGBT fans is because I'm an open book; they're attracted to that.

I ain't got no friends.

I think everything that played a part in my life growing up is in my music. Being homeless, living in shelters, dealing with over-aged, older men that hit on me... all that is in the music.

I like to have control over what I'm doing, and that no one else is controlling me.

I always heard 50 Cent, Da Brat, Lil' Kim, all that in the house. My mom's playing them - 50 Cent, Kanye West.

I want everything that I've worked for to go into my pocket. I want all my money to come to me. I'm very much hands-on with my career, and I like to do what I want in the studio - I don't like being told, 'do it this way' or 'do it that way.'

Nothing's holding me back. If I'm held back, the only thing holding me back was me.

Yes, I live in Chicago. Yes, I support Chicago.

I grew up with Chief Keef and Lil Reese. We all lived in the same environment, I went to school with them and everything.

It was this thing I used to do, where I would get on the phone and put my voice in a man's voice like, 'Hey, you're talking to Tom.'

I actually grew up listening to music as like - church music and stuff like that.

Definitely 'HUMBLE' was a masterpiece.

My style is how I feel about the moment.
