Ideal Profession?

A professional football player, a lawyer, and I want to be in the marines, and I want to be a model. But I’m going to go to school for all of it, so if one thing don’t work out, I can do the other thing or the other thing.

Three Wishes?

To go back in time and tell everybody about how my dad had cancer so they could treat it. My second thing is to own my own Nike and Jordan store, and then my other wish would be to get a million more wishes.

My friends say I’m funny, nice, and pretty, and loud sometimes, and they said, some of, well, I don’t know why but my friend Michael told me I’m savage when it comes to competitions and sports, cause I like to win. I don’t like to lose.

Definition of Family?

My definition of family actually is [snaps] when no one is left behind. We should play football, and get our nails done. Not the boys, they can sit in the car, but the girls get our nails done.

Favorite Food?

I like nachos. My favorite food is nachos. Let’s see, nachos and every-every dessert well, not every dessert. Cake and ice cream, cupcakes, ice cream cakes.

A Perfect Day?

Be with The Weekend, Kevin Durant, my brother Malik, and my daddy, and we would do the color me raid. You know what the color me raid is, right? When you run and throw the paint.

What Are You Most Proud of?

I’m one of my daddy’s kids. Yup, he was in the army and stuff, and he was good. He worked, he was a mechanic at drivetime. So I’m proud, I’m his kid. I’m one of the Pruitts.

What would you change?

My daddy dying, cause if he didn’t die, then we all probably would have went home but he did.
