The only thing is, with me - this may sound weird - there are a lot of R&B singers from that era that I actually don't know. Like, I never grew up on Boyz II Men.
-
A lot of times, people won't be 100 percent real with their story, and I wanted to give people the drawn-out experience of the perseverance and the struggle that it took to get here.
-
I would like to work with The Weeknd. That's my boy, though; that's my friend.
-
I don't have a problem with anybody in Toronto.
-
I try to make music, all kinds of music, whether it be singing or rapping.
-
One of my favorite reggae songs is Wayne Wonder's 'No Letting Go.' And Sizzla 'Give Me A Try.' That's one of my favorite songs as well.
-
I dropped out of school; I got fired from my job. Those were my roughest moments, but I always knew through it that I was going to be great.
-
I believe later in life I'm gonna change my name when I start making the right music.
-
I can look at you and say, 'I'm gonna be the biggest artist in the world' because, at the end of the day, it's about the trust I have in God. He's already shown me that I'm gonna fulfil my destiny.
-
People have to remember this - I've literally been going at this music thing since my mother passed away.
-
My outlook was, 'You're not my moms; you can't tell me what to do.' I got expelled from about 20 schools.
-
I like the music from Drake. I like the music from PARTY. I like music from The Weeknd, Justin Bieber.
-
That's what made me a man, having to fend for myself and being in a situation where there is no dad, no grandma, and no mom to help you. It changed the person that I am today.
-
I have a lot of money, but I still feel broke. When I say I feel broke, I don't mean broke in a financial sense, but I still feel like that kid from the gutter who's still trying to get it, even though I'm at the place I want to be.
-
People live their lives through melodies. If you can't sing, then music is worthless.
-
We just want to be No. 1. Is there a problem with that? Can I be the best? Can y'all watch me be great? Will y'all allow me to do that?
-
The reason why I called it 'I Told You' is because I wanted to show people that I have been doubted, and I have been in the face of adversity. Coming out of that situation, this is my 'I told you' moment.
-
God put me on this earth to bring souls back to the Kingdom of God. You don't need to pray ten times a day - you just need hope. My music is going to stop war; it's the healing music. I see myself in Brazil, in Syria, in Darfur, and places where they really need hope.
-
I'm just a young kid.
-
There's a different energy at one of my shows than anybody else's.
-
I'm here to be the greatest.
-
I'm a big Justin Bieber fan. I've been a Justin Bieber fan. I've been listening to his music. OG, you know. That's also my friend, too, so, you know. It's just one of those things. We've been supporting each other's music for a long, long, long time.
-
It doesn't take long to make catchy songs. That's not my problem.

Swavey is the movement. Three words... It's Unique, it's true, and it's yourself. It's a very unique thing: it's true to yourself, and it's all about you just being yourself.
