Musiq Soulchild Defends Transition to Rapper The Husel: They Won’t Give Me A Chance

Not caring what others believe:

It doesn’t matter what you believe because it’s me as an artist doing it. I’m not always going to be perfect the first time out. Y’all are witnessing something unprecedented—This is totally in my heart and totally in my soul. Being an artist, you’re influenced by your surroundings and your atmosphere, you soak it up and then eventually, you want to give it back…

On Musiq Soulchild:

That’s not solely what I’m doing this. That was just an observation that I made when people started attacking me. So I’m like, where was y’all first week when I put that album out….I’m not stopping Musiq Soulchild. I’m actually working on a new Musiq Soulchild album.
