I mean always had a lot of self-confidence.
I just want to make good music that, you know, appeals to all people, man. I want to branch out and you know just have a lot of multiplatinum albums.
I've been blessed because there are a lot of great singers out there that didn't make it past their first album.
I'm always happy for people when I see God blessing them the way he's blessed me.
So I've never in my whole life really been teased about my weight.
I don't have any concerns about my weight. I've always been healthy. I eat right. I'm just a big dude. I've always been happy with the person I am. So that will never change.
I never want to try to be a spokesperson for health and wellness because I most definitely am not the most in shape person in the world.
But I also live to perform and I've been performing my whole life, whether it's been in sports or you know in band or with my singing.
And I just pray that god gives me longevity in the music industry.
You know, I played football, I was offensive tackle in college.
I feel like my unwillingness to look for healthy options now is the reason why I have put my weight back on. … Everybody knows how to diet, everybody has had their shares of ups and downs of yo-yo diets, but the hardest thing is to learn really how to make this a lifestyle that you can sustain for the rest of your life.
Some find it in their lovers eyes, who can deny the joy it brings. When you've found that special thing, you're flying without wings.
Dairy products are not good for a singer.
I am comfortable with anything I sing: jazz, gospel, classical. It doesn't matter. I can do it all.
I feel like I have been totally blessed with everything that I have done.
I'm in the process of brainstorming with my marketing team and all that stuff, trying to come up with a concept for a late-night restaurant for people in Birmingham.
