There are a lot of black men who get railroaded or the system doesn’t treat right. Her mother is white and the father is black. Her situation is interesting because it’s an intersection of domestic abuse, child rearing and race. What does that song have in relation to the lack of equality for women and girls in the court system and society in general? When I heard the track produced by Oh No, it sounded innocent, but also was punctuated with phrases from these violent rap songs that reminded me of Bresha. I didn’t set out to write a song about her, but the beat made me want to write about her. That was interesting to me just as a human being. But whether it happened exactly how she said it or not, something happened to make her feel like she had no choice. What could’ve drove her to that? It’s all in the court records what they said happened. What if that was my daughter?” Then, the idea that a child can go through so much trauma and pain that they feel the only escape is not just to murder, but to murder someone who they’re related to. My first connection to the story was very visceral like, “Wow. Bresha physically reminded me, when I saw her, of what my daughter looked like when she was 15. What made you want to use the story of Bresha Meadows on “She’s My Hero”?īresha Meadows was a story that I was thinking about and I felt connected to because I have a young daughter. I’ve done that with other artists myself, so I understand that instinct. But I think it’s interesting with me that it seems people that use my music and do a song with me have a chance to sort of purge and show a different side of themselves. Every once in a while I go to an artist and ask to be on a song. A lot of times, these artists come to me. Same with Rick Ross and other artists that I’ve worked with, like Gucci Mane. He lives a life as a man where he’s not always in the strip club turning up. I was partying with Waka in Vegas, and he was like, “Let’s do a song.” I took him up on the offer and he knocked it out very quickly. Just because they’re talented in one style of music doesn’t mean they always move in that space. If you listen to his verse on the album, he says “I’m enlightened now, they frightened now.” He’s like a lot of artists that are very multidimensional.
