What was it like working with Diddy?
A lot of people always ask me that, but really it's tough because he demands perfection, especially out of artists that are signed to his label. So making the album was definitely a process. He would hear songs and either scrap them, [songs] that I spent a day or two recording, or he would be like, "No, change the hook, change the bridge, add a bridge, change the verse." So it was very tedious, but at the end of the day he gets the hottest songs out of us so it's necessary for him to be that strict and that tough.
