1HOMEMADE POSTER “I was on tour with Chris Brown, and one of my fans gave me this poster with my pictures. To have a grown male fan, it really shocked me, but I was happy to know that someone really cared and knew my background, like where I’m from. I think that’s pretty special.”
4COOKIE MONSTER TOY “This is my sister’s Cookie Monster. She’s five, and she’s all over him. Toys like this always end up in my room or in my hair. You never know what you’re going to get in this house.”
7SCARF “It smells like somebody else’s hair. [Yells] Who’s been in my room?! Ed Hardy gave me this. I said I needed a scarf to tie my hair up, and they sent me about 15. This one’s my favorite; the rest I gave away to the community—cousins, friends. I’m always giving something away.”
8BOARD GAME “There was a program called ‘Playschool’ at my elementary school—class of ’ 97—and we used to play Candy Land all the time. This version has Mickey Mouse, but I had the original Candy Land.”
10HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE “The movie and book are sick, for sure. I’ve read the popular ones. My brother reads them all, but I don’t really have the time. I need to find the time—you know, on a flight instead of sleeping.”
