\u201cI remember waking up and one Little Loca video had like 900 hits and I was like \u2018Oh, my gosh. There\u2019s people watching this?\u2019 \u201d Ryan told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> in 2012. \u201cAnd it just kept going and then I did this Paris Hilton thing and then it literally was just growing and growing.
