KenTheMan also addressed the freedom of independence versus major label constraints. “My favorite thing about being independent is that I can wake up and I can just be like, you know what?

The Houston native kept it real about her lyrical prowess, stating, “I like lyrics. Like, I’m really big on lyrics. And then I try to even make them fun too, because I’m big on fun.” She revealed her dream collaboration would be with Lil Wayne, calling him her “legend.”
