Sometimes I have a melody in my head; sometimes it’s just a verse. I read lines from a book or movies that I watch and grab a few quotes and start writing on paper. From there, I record a really rough version and work on the song. Young Thug Read Quote
Racism is everywhere – the older generations in Malaysia still say things like, ‘She’s darker-skinned; maybe don’t marry her,’ and it’s very judgmental. A lot of girls do try to get fairness cream to lighten their skin, and I’m against all of that. Young Thug Read Quote
People pay attention to artists and celebrities, so they have the opportunity to do something great with this limelight. I, for one, have no problem with Kanye running for president, because if it’s something that he truly believes in and it can lead to greater good, why not? I’m all for that. Young Thug Read Quote
For Eid – or Raya, as the Malaysians call it – we love to shop for new clothes for the festive season. There will be open houses to go to, and Malaysians love to look good for these. Young Thug Read Quote
People say, ‘You should let your hair out; you shouldn’t be oppressed – you’re not in Malaysia anymore. You should show your curves and be proud of it.’ But I am proud – it’s my choice to cover up my body. I’m not oppressed – I’m free. Young Thug Read Quote
I didn’t expect to have music as my main thing. I always thought I was going to be a lawyer. When I graduated, I was doing really well with my music in Malaysia. I had stable income, and I had really good momentum in the music industry, so I had to make a decision whether to stop that and continue being a lawyer. Young Thug Read Quote
It’s something that I do every year – every Ramadan to be exact – taking an 18-hour flight back home to Malaysia from Los Angeles. I’m born and raised in Malaysia, and Ramadan and Eid has always been my favorite time of the year. Young Thug Read Quote
I know how to wrap my turban a little better now. In the beginning, it was a little weird. Young Thug Read Quote
You learn so much about yourself as an artist. I never would have thought that I could sing every night, you know? Travel and perform every single night, and travel to another city the next day and do it all over again? You learn a lot of new things about yourself, and you make a lot of connections with people.

The fashion world is so interesting because it’s always changing, but if you know yourself really well, despite of all the changes in the fashion trends, you know how to stay true to yourself. Young Thug Read Quote
