On singing about his relationships:
“That’s what people always look for. They look into what my life is or my personal life so I rather incorporate it into my music as a story so I can tell my life is what it is.”

On the video:
“I wanted to be more of a man. Even with past issues and my relationships in the past I did a lot of lying to make sure people didn’t get hurt. I just feel like it’s not necessary anymore in my life. They can’t hate me for being honest….I told both of them about the video before it came out.”

“It was kinda weird. I was more low key. I would go to the house or she’d be in the studio with me then people would come in the studio and see her and people would be, “Oh, I’m confused,” so we just started off as friends.”

On returning to award shows:
“I would say the first year it was because no one was trying to play me. No radio, nobody was playing me. So I was just like, let’s see what the hell I’ma do. From there, the awards shows are more lenient. At some point you just gotta have fun. It’s about life choices.”

His R&B beefs:
Drake
“I don’t get involved. We don’t see eye to eye. I just think they’re certain people you just don’t get along with.You go your way and I’m gonna go mine……I don’t really try to talk about him [Drake] to her. I just lay the pipe….she got my back so I’m good.”
Frank Ocean:
“I think there’s a lot of strategies people use when they’re up for awards-it’s a sympathy route. I don’t have to go that route. I just do my music, do my thing. For him it’s whatever. Love your music bro, have fun” -
On rejecting Oprah:
“I’ve been invited. I just say no. I go to people who I’m comfortable with. I never want to be in a situation where I feel like I’m going to be attacked or trapped for whatever it is. I think I’ve been paying for whatever I’ve done and I’m learning from it and moving forward.

On men lusting after Rihanna:
“I’m a man so it’s all about respect. She’s amazingly beautiful so if any rappers say something who I’m not acquainted with say something, that’s not place to be like, ‘Hey don’t talk about my girl.’ She’s an icon around the world so every man is gonna lust or have a fantasy about her so I can’t be that insecure and naive, so if it’s some other dudes I ain’t messing with its like, ‘hey bruh, pipe down.’ I ain’t messing with all that.”
