He’s like everyone else in terms of grammar. For “Berzerk” he wrote, “everyone thought I meant 'baby make' when I really meant 'baby, make.' I wish I would’ve thought of that…I’m not really that clever.” - (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

Thanks to verse two on “Phenomenal,” we find out that he doesn’t like when people suggest album names to him: “I don’t know why people have suggested I name my next album Empower or Empart…This has been said to me so many times over the years. If I were to name an album with such a stupid play on my name it obviously should be called Empanada…” - (Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)

In fact, he didn’t listen when people told him the chorus to “Phenomenal” wasn’t good. Why? “Everyone said the chorus was wack to this song but I was just trying to be phenomenal and get my sing on.” - (Photo: George DeSota/Newsmakers)
