“I’ve done it overseas but never here and never to this level. This is going to be a big night. Wayne is premiering his single and there’s a lot that falls on this because his album is about to come out, the world is going to hear his single for the first time and I have the honor of being on the record and actually brought the record to him which is really cool. I think with the two of us on that stage, there will be fireworks and it will be awesome. We have to really start a fire.”

“This record has actually been around for a second and actually while we were filming the show. His manager Cortez heard the song and was like, ‘Wayne needs this on his album’ and literally when we were filming the episode while we were in the studio; that’s how that whole thing happened.”

“If you’ve got a record called ‘Start a Fire’, you can just imagine the pyro, there’s going to be a huge moment I just have to worry about not tripping. My stylist is riding around town everywhere trying to find me an outfit for the red carpet; all I know is they told me to wear red.”

“I love Ariana Grande, she has an amazing face and she’s so tiny with that little body; I love a few songs that she’s done and I just love her voice; she has an amazing voice. Nicki’s got an album coming out and she just always looks so fierce and she’s been killing the game with her music and I want to see what she’s going to do on stage.”
