He told NobodySmiling.com that he admired and respected Scott beyond her music, stating, "[she] has like a glow around her and it's like—she's just like when you're around her you just feel warm. Like it's something about her. I hit her and was like—she had a hoodie on in the studio—and I was telling her like you must have ya wings folded up underneath that hoodie. You're not just a regular woman. And I love jazz. I love jazz a lot. I love jazz more than I love hip hop. And so, like to me she's the new age like Sarah Vaughn or the new age Ella Fitzgerald. So it's like to be—to see that in this day and age and be able to touch it and go you know hear it and to be talking about subjects that relate to me, it's like that's a beautiful thing."Ivey, Michael (May 5, 2006).
