Maneno Ya Drake Ndoo haya Hapa...

I watch clips of myself on 'Degrassi' and I'm like, I can't believe people look at this guy and hold me as one of the most respected rappers out there! But being Canadian and an actor aren't things to overcome any more - they add to my story...I definitely see [the Will Smith comparisons.] Except that my hip-hop is different from his...When the stars align, anything is possible.

WORD? CELEBRITY QUOTES FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 16

Swizz Beatz
‘Fancy' has been well-traveled. It started off as a Swizz record. Then I got Mary [J. Blige] on it. It was supposed to be on her [Stronger With Each Tear], but we missed the deadline. Then I pulled it back for my [upcoming] record. Then five o'clock one morning, on the phone speaking with Drake, he's in a different time zone, we're trying to figure out what he needs [for his album]. He's like, 'Yo, I just need a record for the ladies.'
