By any means necessary, I am for Africa.

The Black woman is the most unprotected, unloved woman on earth...she is the only flower on earth...that grows unwatered.

Race means family and all black people whether they like it or not, are family.

I appear topless as a way of holding on to my Nilotic culture, and I also do it to taunt those Africans who are ashamed of our original cultural beliefs.

While I love Mohammed and Jesus Christ'I reject all men's religions, not just Islam, but Christianity, Judaism and whatever else the men use for a whip.

I believe that Christianity trains black people, especially black women, to think like slaves, and I believe that Islam is mainly fueled by its hatred for women.

In 2004, I went to Israel and gave a speech that resulted in guns and ammunition being given to the South Sudanese rebels, specifically Commanders Athol's and Yaka's armies.

In 1998, I was trained by the SPLA [Sudanese People's Liberation Army ] in London how to pretend to be a geologist.

I say God is the ultimate.

Nicotine and alcohol embraced in my system like long-parted siblings, grateful to me for reuniting them.

I haven't stopped making music since I started at 16 and throughout the years I made a lot of different connections and had a lot of opportunities.

Never sweep. After four years the dirt gets no worse.

Faith is one of the forces by which men live, and the total absence of it means collapse
