Lil Yachty

I remember being in jail, like, 'Man, I'm not old enough.' And then I thought, 'I just turned 18.' I had just turned old enough to be in big people jail.

I'm not the best rapper; I'm not trying to be the best rapper.

I'm pretty normal. That's why I feel like I hope most teenagers can relate.

Lil Boat 2' people liked, but it was all rap. Some thought it was too much.

I enjoyed being a teenager.

I'm not a rapper; I'm an artist. And I'm more than an artist. I'm a brand.

I feel like Soulja Boy was one of the smartest when it came to connecting with your fans and taking that to another level. That's how you get the real love. Someone will love you, but if they feel like they know you or they can relate to you, it's a real genuine, solid love, even when you're down.

I love Beyonce and Jay Z.

I felt love on 'Lil Boat 2.' People say my first project, 'Lil Boat,' was my best project, but I didn't feel it because I was so new, and it took a minute to grow.

My mother always taught me a lot of important life lessons, and she would always tell me how important it was to tip. We didn't have much money, so we would tip what we could. Now, it's at the point I'm financially stable. When I'm out eating, I hope I have the cash, but if I write it on the receipt, I'll leave a big tip.

I'm half-and-half on school. I had fun in grade school, but when I went to college, it was the worst place I've ever been in my entire life.

I was in college and got arrested. It was a real scare for me/wake-up call/'Man, you better do something with your life 'cause you don't wanna be a bum' call. That's really why I took music serious.
