In a recent interview, Potter Payper revealed he’s inspired by the late rapper/activist Nipsey Hussle.  

“I’m inspired by people that don’t quit, people who stand firm in their beliefs and won’t be moved,” he said in an interview ahead of his appearance on Colors X Studios in April.  

“I’m inspired by people that come from similar situations to me, who have been in and out of the social care system, or in and out of prison, but still manage to maintain a positive and purposeful life and give back,” Payper added. “Good people do bad things all the time, and bad people do good things all the time. I’m inspired by the bad people that do good things.”
