- Right now, everything's all about the whole Southern movement, so me coming in from the Midwest is like a breath of fresh air. There's no other city in America like Detroit. It's just fly, and I love it. Our swagger, the way we dress-everything is so different and laid back, which is how I am. You walk up the street and everybody has a different colored mink, Cartier glasses--everything. We like to floss and be seen, so we don't have to say much.
