Speaking about how he got the name Pretty Mike, he said:

PRETTY MIKE: I have five pretty sisters and I am the guy in the midst of the pretty girls; so, I just heard Oh, is this not Pretty Mike and just like magic, the name Pretty Mike stuck till date.

Speaking of how he manages fame and how he's treated by people because of his antics, he said:

PRETTY MIKE: Well, I put God first. When one puts God first, he will help you manage everything around you. So, one of my secret weapons is God all the way.

Just like every other person, some will accept you, some will not, the samething with family, friends and environment, some will accept you and some will not. One cannot please everybody, but just look forward and keep going.

Speaking of he thinks he goes too far with his antics, or does it only to chase clout, Pretty Mike said:

PRETTY MIKE: Such thought to people happen in an environment that does not understand the art or culture. To me it is the arts; it is artistic.

They even call it attention-seeking and I ask, when has attention seeking and clout-chasing become a bad work?

Speaking about how he handles depression, Pretty Mike said:

PRETTY MIKE: One of the things that trigger depression is when you let people get to you. That is what leads people to commit suicide because they have drawn the line. So, for me that just started enjoying life, I tell myself that there are many areas I have not explored, like having sex in Monaco, so such thought and belief makes me believe there is more to life than being depressed.
