And same thing goes for straight guys who get upset and make a comment about a lesbian. They want to make it a big deal. So it’s like, if this lady wasn’t a lesbian, does that automatically mean she’s going to sleep with you? It’s so stupid.”

As the years have passed my music has grown and I have become wiser as an artist. I have learned a lot as an artist and channeled that into the music I create.
