I keep talking to my followers about relationships. These people have been a part of my journey; they have seen me mature.

I just want my hometown talking about where I’m going – like, ‘He’s killin’ it right now,’ and, ‘I’m so glad he’s doin’ well,’ and I want them to know I’ll always come back, every chance I get. I’m not one of those people who’ll just leave.

I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I’m not necessarily talking about marriage, but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.
The sight of women talking together has always made men uneasy; nowadays it means rank subversion.
