Lil Yachty

They treat you as if you are a different kind of human or life form when you are a celebrity - as if we don't breathe the same air, or we don't bleed the same - and I hate that. I really hate that.

Most of my influences aren't rap. I love Coldplay.

I used to have visions of being a star all the time, but I never knew I wanted to be a rapper.

I used to have visions of flashing lights and red carpets.

I feel like Soulja Boy was one of the smartest when it came to connecting with your fans and taking that to another level.

I am happy every day, because life is moving in a very positive way.

When you come from living in a dorm room with no clothes, no girls, no cars, and then you go to having three cars, girls, and money, you can't help but be genuinely happy that things are moving in a positive direction.

I'm promoting positivity. I'm promoting happiness and loving yourself and having fun. But it's not a joke.

I'm out here trying to promote positivity on a global scale.

I didn't think I would work for Nautica. I never thought in my life I would have a Sprite deal, never in my life did I think I would have a Target deal, ever.

I just want to be a better person to the community.

My dad got me an iMac, and I spent my whole childhood with my eyes glued to it. I was technically savvy and knew how to make it work for me.
