Her words, “What an icon means to me is overcoming obstacles to accomplish the unthinkable and be widely admired for having influence over a multitude of people, and that is what I’ve always represented.”

“I was ghetto fabulous, and I still am,” adding: “So ghetto, so fabulous, and people were threatened by that.”

“The message in my music has always been that we are not alone in our struggles. And I’m not alone now.”
