- Mr Normthegreat1: Welcome to Dope Discussions, where faith isn't quiet and truth isn't comfortable. We're having the conversations most people avoid about purpose, pain, leadership, relationships, identity, and the real walk with God. No pretending, no performance, no watered down gospel, just raw growth, real convictions, and kingdom conversations. and Kingdom conversations that challenge you to become who God called you to be. And now, here's your host, Norm the Great One. Yo, what up, what what what up, man? You already know who it is. It's the great one. We back in the building. Yes, Lord, we back in the building. Another day, another opportunity. You know, that's how we start every show by giving thanks to God for all his many blessings that he's stored upon us. And one of the biggest blessings of them all, just to be back in the building one more time behind the mic, man. So we all give thanks to God for all his many blessings, man. Hope y'all been taking care of y'allself out there. Hope y'all had a good weekend. Hope y'all had a good week so far, man. You know we here to do, get you over the hump and, you know, get you with a good show. Hope we motivate somebody or whatever the case may be. But nevertheless, here we go, man. We got a good one today. We gonna talk about a few things on the back side. There gonna be a little controversy a little bit. Might get a little people in their feelings, but it is what it is. I had a good weekend, man. You know, I was back home. My aunt had a 70th birthday, man. You know, it was always a blessing, man. celebrate another year life, to have 70 years around the earth, and still vibrant and act the movement of your limbs and can still get around and do things, that's a blessing, man. That's something that you don't take for granted, man, because in this day and time, people just leaving here at 17, 15 young ages or whatever, but that's a testament to God, man, and taking care yourself as much as possible, man, and having faith in a relationship with God, you know what saying? 70 years, that's a blessing, man. We had a surprise party. She enjoyed herself. Dance the night away. You your boy was on the ones and twos, but I retired from that. But you know, I had to do it one more time for her. it was a great time to see people out there having a good time. I your boy step out there and, you know, cut a little rug shot, but do a little bit himself, you know what saying? But nevertheless, man, it was a great time, man. Family, friends, ⁓ just good food. good company, just fellowshiping and just having a good time, man, you know? Because I think sometimes in life, man, you know, we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle, like we don't take time to just celebrate with people. I ain't talking about that going to the club or nothing. I'm talking about just to fellowship with people in a nice sitting or whatever where you dress nice and everybody look, you know, great, you know what saying? And attire and all that stuff, you know? Stuff like that, classic stuff, not all that other stuff. We gonna get to that later. I think I might ruffle some feathers on the backside, but I'll be okay. yeah, and that's always a blessing, man. Love you, Auntie, and I wish God continue to bless you more and more and more to see many more birthdays, And I wanna start off talking about this. I'm about sick and tired of these stories, man. It just... Heartbreaking as a father man, let's keep seeing these stories and it's like I never understood how in our community that one could sit here and watch stuff like this It was a young brother out of Queens, New York. I saw the video. I wish I didn't man He was in a corner like in a Finsting corner It's like 30 or 40 people on the other side and it's like three or four guys just mollywap in his brother I mean, I mean just I mean just hailing on him. I mean just reaching back and just kick knocking and punching and I mean, and you can see in that video, your heart grieve for the young brother that's against the fence, man, because in our sick, twisted culture, beating somebody to a bloody pulp is exciting. know, everything that's backwards in this trash culture, we like beat the heck out them. I mean, beat him, beating somebody and seeing somebody getting beat and pummeled. I mean, the guy ain't even fighting and defending himself. He looked like he terrified to death, you know what saying? And you hear everybody got their phone out. And I mean, these kids just going to work on this kid, man. And then one of the guys decided to be the bigger dummy and just pull out a gun and shot the guy right there in point blank range in front of everybody. That's where we are at as a society. That's where we are at in society to where a kid can pull a gun out in front of I mean, I ain't gonna say thousands, but it was like a lot of people out there at the, I don't know, were at a park in a corner, wherever they were at. Everybody got their phone out. I mean, and they just, just popped this guy, shot him point-blank range, man, and the guy fell. And unfortunately, God bless the young brother's soul. He died, right? And some reports say the guy that killed him, killed his stuff or whatever the case would be, I don't know, but I pray to God. that God bless his young soul and they catch the people that did it and God bless his family during their time of grieving, man. You know what saying? As a parent, you you don't send your kids out to come back and hit them in a body bag or you got to go identify a body. You know, it's crazy how these young kids are moving, I mean, it's like every kid got a gun. It don't matter. It don't matter 16, 17, whatever the case may be. Every kid got a gun. And it's like, and it's like, what the heck is really going on? You know what saying? They're breaking in cars and most of these guns are stolen. And it's like the access to gun to these kids are crazy because most of these kids live with their parents. So they have stolen guns in their parents' But you know, We living in times where parents have to knock on the door before they go in the kid room. God bless her soul. Now Betty Jean Singleton, right? She gonna turn that knob and she's coming in there and she's going to look around and see what she gonna see. And I think we got away from a lot of things with raising kids. Like I think a lot of people got to that place to where they don't want their kids to go through what they went through. But let me tell you something. Raising kids, you have to be mindful how do you pedestalize these kids and how you try to protect these kids because your goal as a parent is to raise your child to be able to survive without you and move on in this world with discipline, respect, honor, integrity, and try to move through here, you know, as much as possible in a positive way. Now don't get it twisted, we all were kids. We all were teenagers, you know when your mom wasn't around, you may have did some crazy stuff, cussed a little bit, been out there on some plays of playing ball, you know, just getting into a little fist fight or doing something crazy. But when we grew up, that's what it was about, doing a little crazy stuff, going to the corner store, going on that street that your granny tell you not to go, and stuff like that. We didn't have no guns or nothing like that. Now, these kids walking around seven, eight years old with guns, man, and it's like, what are we doing? What are we doing, And brother Tupac Shakur said it, give them guns and sit back and watch them kill each other. And that's all we're doing. That's all we're doing is killing each other, day in and day out. These guys, 16, 15, 14, going to jail for murder, malice murder. 14 years old, your life is over. And the sad part about it is that These kids go in front of a judge. A judge will give them time, give them time, 30, 40, life. They have no emotion. They express no emotion. They curse the judge. I mean, it's like, they destined to be dead or in the, excuse me, they're destined to die or go to prison. And it's like, when they go to prison, it's like a badge of honor. They come back and people celebrating, they're frying fish, they're doing a Cupid shuffle. What are we celebrating? Yeah, it's a blessing you made it out, but it would be more of a blessing if you had a renewed mind and a new heart. You came out here, yeah, I made some bad decisions. I got myself together. Now I'm moving forward with life. But that's not most of the case. In most cases, gotta come back and do the same thing again. They got guys committing crimes with ankle monitor on, killing people. So it's dangerous out here, man. And it's not just that one story out there. There's many different stories like that, but. We can be here for days and days talking about these stories and how they kill for nothing and have no regards for life. It's sad, man. It's horrible. And then I think it was a brother out of Shreveport that killed his kids because his wife was going for a divorce. He ended up killing eight kids and a nephew, seven kids, his seven kids and a nephew or something like that. Then he tried to kill his wife and he ended up getting into a shootout with the cops and they ended up dying or something. But I don't think the wife died, but now the wife have to heal up. get herself together and prepared going home services for all the people involved with her nephew involved eight kids man eight kids can you imagine the mindset of a mother a parent in general that lost all their kids just like that and I don't know the brother story I don't know what a brother meant to have been I don't know but I know that from the article you know articles ain't a hundred percent fact but they were saying that She was going to file for divorce and he snapped or whatever. But I'm like, I don't know the backstory. I didn't read no more because my heart grieved for the kids, man. Like it's just like you took a semi-automatic weapon and just went to work, man. And in that moment, man, it's like. Could he did something? I mean, of course he could have did something different. Could he talk to somebody? I mean, like, you know, I think oftentimes as human man, we get to places like that. We think off of feelings and emotion in that moment. And once you start something like that, there's no coming back, man. You know, once you get to that place and you done did that first stupid thing, you know what saying? It's over. It's a wrap, man. My thoughts and my prayers go to the family and And his family also, because at the end of the day, he lost too, because the story right, he got shot out, he got shot by the cops and died. But also he's somebody's child and they got to prepare something for him to go home and all that too. So it's like, you're losing on all sides. Like even with the, back to the first story with the young brothers that was beaten on their kid, they got parents, three or four of them, they got parents. They gonna go to jail, you know, for murder or whatever. And you know, their parents got to deal with that. They're young kids. They ain't older. They ain't about so old. But like I said, one mother burying her son and the three or four other parents, son going to prison. So it's a lose-lose all around the board all the time. We keep rolling the dice and we keep coming up lost. And for the life of me, I don't understand how do we celebrate this trash, I don't get it, man. This culture is trash, yo. I mean, I don't understand it, man. You know, I've never been in the one that supported us stuff because it don't make sense to me, man. Everything that's backwards, man, you know, and... I don't know, man. I don't even know how we fix this. It's got a long ride ahead, man, you know? And now, it's prom season and my God, it's prom season and my goodness, there's no discernment, no common sense. I mean, some of these dresses that you see from these young girls, man, they may as well be naked. And I'm like, you know, when I was growing up, I ain't that old, man. You know, people used to go, I never went to prom myself, honestly. I never understood it. Hell, I still don't understand it now, but that's your thing. You know, interestingly, I would go to an adult prom now, but back then I didn't see the need to go because I never had interest in it. But nevertheless, these girls are coming out here with their butt out, these body, like, when did we get to a place where everybody want to come outside naked? I mean, they got the shorts with the bottom of their butt hanging. I mean, like, where's the respect? Where's the respect, y'all? I mean, you got parents spending six to 12 grand on prom. Now, like I said, I've never been, but if y'all been and y'all know, out of me, can y'all email me, nomthegreatgmail, nomthegreat84gmail.com and tell me, how much did you spend for your prom? Because I don't think when I was growing up, parents were spending six to 12 grand on proms. You know what saying? Like that's, I don't know. And I'm not here to say they shouldn't spend that money on their kids. If you got that and that's what you want to spend. like, it's like a, I don't know if it's for show or to outdo somebody, but it's like these days and time, who can be the most nakedest or who can find the most provocative dress? to have everything exposed and hanging. You don't have an underwear, you don't have one bra, you know, and you just out there and feel free and comfortable. Not only that, you know, the thing that gets me, when you even as grown, some of these women, when you're going out to parties or any, engagement, you can be sexy and classy. And these women have everything hanging out, you know. Nothing for the imagination, nothing for the illusion. Everything boomba, here I am right in front of your face, man. And not only that, they pose and take pictures and put it on the internet. That's forever. Now you can be at a phase in your life where, I sing, go, I do, I want to do, post what I want to post. But when you get out of that phase or when you get tired of getting playing with or ran through or whatever the case may be. Now you want a husband or whatever. All that stuff is still on the web. And I know somebody sitting there, ⁓ my past shouldn't matter. The hell it does. The hell it does. The hell it does. If you was out there doing all this wild stuff, never been in no committed relationship, just a situationship, hooking up, linking up, and all this stuff here, why would somebody take you seriously? And I know somebody. Nah, you tripping. People can change. People can change. But here's the deal. A wise woman told me, the single you is the who you really are. When you're single, you are able to do whatever you want to do, who you want to do it with, and how you want to do it. So how a person move when they're single without integrity, without care, tells a lot about them. and your body, because here's the deal with that. If you don't care about how you treat your body, why would somebody care about you? If every time you go on the internet or you posting pictures, you damn near naked. What signs are you sending? You know what I'm saying? Now, when you sending these signals like that, you damn near naked all the time. What message are you sending out to the masses? And when somebody approach you or your DMs get flooded or whatever the case may be with guys and the eyes and the hearts and trying to get at you, so you really believe they're trying to really get to know you or they're trying to get under that little piece of garment that you got on, because that's all it's about. we're in a time where It's just horrible, It's just like there's no regard. Like, coming outside, dang, they're naked is a thing, man, you know? To have something exposed or to have that tension to where things are exposing, and you just gotta be seen in that light. But like I always say, man, you know, you have to be mindful of the stuff that you put out there. That stuff stick with you, man. Once you get a name, a title or whatever, that sticks with you. And another thing with that, you People celebrate it, man, you know? You see a chick out there naked, they hang there naked. She got friends in the comment, the comment, clock it, clock it. Yeah, sis, you ate, you did that. But that tells you even in the, probably got a video twerking, all her breasts exposed or the friend bent over twerking or whatever. And they slapping her in her butt, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, that's the vibe, man. That's, that's where it's at. And don't get it twisted. I'm not holier than thou, and I'm not saying people can't go and enjoy themselves. You enjoy yourself in advertising, butt and chest and all that, twerking and all that. It's just no discipline in this culture. The hookup culture is taking over. Everybody just having a sneaky link or just hunching and hunching and hunching. They hunch and hunch. There's no protection. They'll lie and say, the protection break or whatever. These folks out here have an unprotected sex. And the crazy part about it is When you get with somebody and depends on your age bracket, you get to a place where you want to get married, you want to settle down, you try to start a family or something. ⁓ But then you get with somebody and they done did everything they want to do. You see what saying? They done been outside. They done been around, jumping off the dresser and hanging off the wall and do everything. Now you finna get the watered down version. She ain't got nothing left in the tank. ⁓ my knee's bad. Ain't got the mega knees no more. She done twerked out. Now you finna get it. 150,000 miles, motor knocking. Now she wanna settle down and love on you. The safe choice. Now, the issue that I have with that, with people is that They're not oblivious to when they're out there doing dumb stuff. Everybody wanna have fun when you're out there being a sneaky link, a side chick on somebody's and don't even care. Man, we're living in times where... What's that record back in the day they used to play back and them girls be singing it hard up? He's mine. You may have had him once, but I got him all the time. I mean, they love stuff like that. They love songs like that because they're glorifying. You're my little secret. They love that because that record, that girl says being in the same room with your girl and she don't know. that turns her on. And that's how people live. They don't mind going to a party with a dude, where the dude and his wife gonna be there, or a dude and his girlfriend gonna be there, and probably be texting and all that. Like, that's where we at, Like, people glorify being a side chick. It's glorified. It's glorified being a side chick and sharing a dude. He don't have to bring nothing. He don't have to take you nowhere. He don't have to take you on dates. He just get everything and however he wanted, when he wanted, on call. and got somebody. That's where we at. At a place to where... you know somebody with somebody, probably got kids that live with him, and he can come by and lay out with you whenever you want to. And you just enjoy the little bit of crumbs that you get. And then you're going to say, somebody lie or manipulate you. Nobody manipulates you. Most people know exactly what they sign up for. They know what they sign up for. But in their mindset, what they do, ⁓ he got a girl, but she can't do it like me. She can't do it like me. She can't throw it back like me. She can't ride it like me. I told you it's gonna be controversial in this side of the day, baby. We going all the way and we're going all the way. And I normally get some texts and emails about this one, but it's the facts that need to be talked about. Because the thing about it, you can't go out here and do what you want to do and do whoever you want to do and think that stuff don't catch up with you, man. We live in a society where folks do not have sexual discipline. They don't. They always gotta have sex. Even when they single. When you're single, I'm not saying you're not supposed to date or enjoy yourself and meet people and try to see, you know, where things go. But when you're single and you're trying to get serious about your life, you should be at a place to where you are working on yourself. Now, you say, you know, everybody got it. Everybody say they want something different. They want something different. They don't want arm. They don't want, they don't want that. They ready to be a wife and all that. How you ready to be a wife? And you, you been, you fresh off of somebody starting five. This man got a roster and you number two on the roster, three on the roster, but he called you and do what he want to do with you. But then what about that? That's their wife. What about it? And I mean, and the thing that's sad, they glorify it. They got women online. My man that ain't my man, but he's still my man. You know how crazy that sound? My man that's not my man, but he my man. But in their mind, they're they man. So in that case, they're doing stuff with their man as if they're they man, knowing that they're not that man. You know how delusional you gotta be as a person? and to glorify that type of behavior? I don't care who you are. If you're glorifying messing with somebody that has a wife or have a husband or whatever the case may be, what makes you think you can go around here, tain up other people's stuff and your life gonna be blessed and peachy and you will ride off in the sunset and get you a husband? What life you think that is? The Bible said, random justice will be unjust. You got to pay for that. So you think you can call somebody else misery and you're gonna ride off in the sunset? It don't work like that, It don't work. The life you live gonna speak for you. It definitely will. You got to pay for them stuff, You don't get to just go out here and tear people's stuff up and just walk away and then talk about, was young. And no, you wasn't young and you wasn't dumb. You was well aware what you signed up for. well aware of what you sign up for. But then the deal is when accountability time to come and what goes on in the dark start to come to the light. Oh, he lied to me. He was toxic. And you know one thing about it, man, I can't stand people tell you dumb stories that try to, they try not to include theyself like they wasn't fully in agreement and signed the terms in agreement to the contract or what they signed up for. I didn't know he had a wife. I didn't know he had a girlfriend. He didn't expose me. He didn't tell me that he lied about it. Okay, let's play that game. If somebody lied to you about what they had going on, here's the deal with that. When you found out about the lie, did you leave? No, you continue to do what you were doing. ⁓ I was already invested. I don't care how invested you are. If someone lied to you to get to you and they lied at the moment you realize that they lied. You should have been done with that person right then off the bat. But no, no, no, no, no, no. They're gonna stay around. They're gonna stay around. They're gonna stay around. They're gonna definitely stay around and they're gonna enjoy it too and talk about it and laugh about it. And you know the crazy thing about like how people sit around and can cause misery in other people's house and life and glorify and laugh. They had a point where I've seen something on TikTok and this girl was saying that Man, ⁓ snap, I can't even articulate and remember exactly what she said, but they were eating it up and the women in the comment section, they were like, yeah, yeah, that's me, that's me. I forgot, man. ⁓ my goodness, I can't, I'm gonna try to pull it back up in a second. She had a title, man, and she was just saying that she loved it, man, you know. I can't remember exactly what it was. Man, it was something wow, man. It's real wild too. I was like, yeah, I don't know what the heck we living in, boy, but it was definitely crazy times, man. It was definitely crazy times out here because they, I mean, she, it's almost like she, she said it straight with her face. And you know, I already know what people gonna say, or people gonna hate me. You know, I just post anything online. That don't mean that's why I'm going through a nothing. I just be posting stuff to post it. People can believe what they want. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. We believe you. You just exactly what you post. That's you and that's what you believe. And that's you. You don't care. That's exactly how you feel. You resonate with it. And that's why you posted. But. for the life of me, man, I can't find that video, man, but it was crazy, man, because. I never understood how you glorify that, you know what I'm ⁓ and people glorify it and. And they celebrate, it's celebratory. It's like, it is what it is. I'm cool with it. You can enjoy yourself. I'm cool with position I got. I'm playing that. I'm gonna just do what it is that I gotta do. I don't care about nobody else. And like I said, that's your choice, You know, like I always tell people, man, I'm all right with you living how you live. Just be cool, we'll come with it, man. You know what saying? Just be cool, we'll come with it. Most of the stuff that happened in your life, you was there, you was a part of it. But most people would have you to believe that there wasn't a part of it. Somebody lied to them, then nobody lied to you about nothing. You know exactly what you signed up for. That dude was a, he was toxic because you toxic. He was toxic because you were toxic. And that's why y'all mesh, y'all had toxic sex. and you probably got toxic pregnant. And then when the reality come in, now nobody wants to deal with the reality of situation. Now they want to run and hide and do crazy stuff to try to fix the situation. No, no, no, no. Don't try to run and hide or fix the situation. Stand on what you've been standing on, you know? Stand on what you've been standing on. Don't try to run and hide and act like you ain't been celebrating that stuff. And at the end of the day, you celebrate it, stand on it. Celebrate what came with But it's crazy, don't it? But at the end of the day, that's somebody's choice. That's how they choose to live and that's their rights. But at the end of the day... Now it gonna come a time when you feel like, I don't wanna live this life no more. I'm different. I don't wanna be different. You can be different because I was watching this other thing with this chick, Kitty Rose. She'd be killing it, man. And she was saying that nobody talks about how some women keep choosing the same toxic men. Yeah, they keep choosing the same toxic men because that's what they like. That's what they entertain. They want the fun boy, the wild boy, that thug passion. You know what saying? And I already know. What about the men? We get to that next week. Don't worry about it. We get to that next week. Everybody get the belt. They keep choosing toxic men because they fit them. That's what they like. They're attracted. You're not the good girl and you just out here happy, of pick that. That's what you like. That's what you want. And oftentimes a lot of people out here chasing validation and want to be seen. You would be surprised what some people would do to say they are part or say they accepted or say somebody like them. Even if it is a lie, they would run with that lie. and they would run with that lie. ⁓ yeah, was a chick, I seen it, it was a chick that says it makes her smile and feel good every time she think about her man that's not my man. Is it a situation ship? I just enjoy being treated well without the needs of a title to be honest. Am I trippin' or not? And the thing about it, a lot of people, a lot of people, in the comment section agree with it. And they're like, I love this. I'm so happy for you. Here's the deal with that. When you play that not intentional game and not what's what, here's the deal. You leave room for a lot of openness and a lot of stuff to happen in between that. when somebody, you see somebody, there's a player doing something that you feel is wrong, what you gonna say? It's no title, it's no guideline, it's nothing. You just happy. So somebody chose you and they say, You don't have to have no title. See, that's who we at. There's no stipulation. I know nothing. As long as we together. Everybody said, it's easy. One chick said, same. I've learned to let go of labels and what's not is easier for me to enjoy this adventure and whatever it takes me. girl I have one of those too, I love it. So it's just a situation of shit where we just have sex and hang out, go out of town, do things, do relationship things and marriage things. But I'ma just give you the discount and everything for free. And you ain't got to, you know, it's no, you know what I'm saying? But then the same chick will get out of here and get her heart broke and this don't work out. And then the next man, I'm looking to be a wife. I need a ring before I do anything, before I move with a man, I need a ring before I do all this here. Now, you done been online talking about how this dude is just bring you so much joy and give you butterfly. But and I get it, everybody don't want to be married. But if a dude can bring you that much joy and butterfly, why he can't be your man? So now we move with our titles. get the title is the intentions on what we are. Oh, so we just, hey man, you know, we go pull up to the restaurant and get something to eat. Wow. Oh, that's my lady friend. You see, maybe I'm tripping, you know what I'm saying? Maybe I'm the only one that makes sense. Hopefully there's somebody out there listening to what I'm saying and they understand where I'm coming from. We too old and too grown to be at a place talking about, we living without titles and we just doing this and doing that. What? And I don't understand, you know what saying? But you saying, ⁓ we don't have to have titles and all that and all this stuff here. But at the end of the day, you know, what are you doing? But you're still giving your body. OK, if you're saying that we're not have titles, we're enjoying life, we're hanging out, but we're not doing anything. But you're giving your body. Listen to this. You're giving your body to somebody that's nine times of the time sleeping with somebody else. and you okay with that because you don't wanna have titles, you don't wanna have that? That's insane, yo. That's crazy. Going with the flow, we'll have you behind the flow, way out there on Crazy Street. But like I said, man, you know, hey, hey man, it is what it is. If you like it, I love it, man, you know what saying? But don't come back at the end, whippin' and cryin', talkin' about how you wanna be. That's the thing that gets me. People be like, ⁓ you wanna be a wife or have a family, but you're doing the opposite of what you're saying. And before I get out here, that's the number one thing that, how they hit you with. My daddy always said, If you show me your friends, I could tell your future. people want you to believe that their friends are so horrid and so nasty and do some of the most low down things, but that's not who they are. You know, that kills me because people don't hang with people that don't do things they don't agree with. If somebody do something that I don't agree with, or they live a life that I don't agree with, I don't necessarily judge them, but I know that some place or some people, that person, I don't want to deal with them. I don't want to be around them. But for people to be out of town, that's your road dog. You telling them you love their call and tell you all their horror, horror and stories. And you the number one man. If you go on social media, y'all always together out of town and shaking y'all behind together, birds of a feather flock together. Argue with your mama. You can't tell me no different. That's your dog because y'all got a lot in common. Y'all do the same thing. Y'all ain't got y'all lack morals and dignity. Y'all both do the same thing. You might not do it on the level that she do it, but you out there doing the same thing. Because if you didn't, If it bothers you that bad, you wouldn't be around them. Because if you know somebody even though that's their choice, but if you know somebody got a reputation, right? And you know, they got a reputation for being stupid and doing stupid things. Why would you want to be around them? Why would you want to be around them? That even makes sense. So if you on the opposite side of the fence, why would you want to be around them? That don't make sense. That don't make sense at all. Because now, and then the thing about it that gets you is when they get with somebody, they want to distance themselves from them. You always notice how people try to distance themselves from them when they talk. Oh, that's them. That's them. No, Negro, that's you too. You hear people talk all the time. They distance themselves. Oh, that's what she do. That's what he do. No, that's what they do. Like my mom used to tell me as a kid, I ain't asking you about them. ask you about you. Everybody can tell you what somebody else do, but what do you do out here in these streets and behind the scenes? It's crazy, man, you know what saying? But I know it's a little controversy, there's a little flip of the script on the show today, but I just had to say that, man. Y'all know the email, I know my text gonna blow up, I know people gonna hit me up about it, but you know it's all love, man. I appreciate the love and the support. I thank you for everything, man. I don't take this for granted. I'm just grateful man, you know what saying? Like y'all be safe out there, man. Do your homework. When you're meeting people these days, do your homework, man. Don't get too caught up in people that look past the flaws. I mean, nobody perfect. People got flaws and stuff. And when you meet somebody, be honest with yourself about things that you can't accept. There's no need to try to force yourself to deal with something that you know you can't deal with. That gonna always come back to bite you in your butt. Once they tell you or whatever the case may be, I'll have the conversation. If you can't deal with that, that's your right. Move on. Do not proceed forward with something that can bite you in the butt later on. But y'all know who it is, a great woman. I appreciate the love and support. We outta here. Peace.
