“I always say I’m gonna look back on my life just before I go and thank God for every moment. For every single moment.” According to Entertainment Tonight, the rapper also opened up about his struggles to reach success, revealing that he was told numerous times at an early age that he wasn’t going to make it as an artist or live long, telling Uncensored, “Up until I was 20, I was told I wouldn’t live to see 20.” The rapper said it became his mission to “outlive everybody’s expectations. And not just outlive but outperform, outlast ’em.” He added during the interview, “Every good idea is a gift from God, and how you say thank you is by using it.”
