After the incident happened, I ain't gonna lie I was laughing about it.
I was like fuck they got me.
They got me.
I let them get me, they got me.
I was lacking, they got me good.
I'm on Facetime with a neck brace on, bleeding out the back of my head, my face cut open,
like this is laughing with people.
But it's like what do we do.
We don't do nothing and we just act weak and alright you took an L, you got
your ass beat or I'm like fuck it, this is how I get paid.
It's my career, I'm about to drop a song with these stitches in my face cause everybody
wanna seem 'em.
I made the choice to shoot the video.
I made the choice.
That wasn't my manager it was nobody.
It's not like I was crying about it.
I wasn't walking around the house like I just took an L and I lost, this and that.
I knew it was my fault.
I didn't have no security, I was tripping.
People just feel like 'cause you famous and shit that you just live this perfect life.
The grass is just green for you.
But, like shit.
The same way people feel about shit, I feel the same way.
My mom a school teacher.
She teaches high school, so all the kids and shit, they know like, "All right.
We know this is her son and shit."
So, she always be callin' me, like every time something comes out, like Almighty Jay did
this, or he got in trouble for doing this, she call like, "What is this?"
Sometimes she don't understand entertainment, like the point of entertainment.
A lot of people get online, and just ... sumo wrestlers and shit talking about ... I don't
do that.
I don't understand why people think I be doing that.
I was reading the comments and shit.
People like, "Aw he act tough online, this and that."
Bro, I don't do that.
I don't act tough online.
I know I can get touched, like anybody can get touched.
I just feel like some people just get behind their phone or whatever, and it's just act
like nobody can fuck with 'em.
I just don't like girls around my age.
I just feel like they're not mature enough.
And that's how people be trying to judge me, too, like, "He's so immature, why he got this
woman?"
Know what I'm saying? “This older woman.”
I'm talking to all the young brothers, know what I'm saying?
Y'all think y'all pimpin, all yall think, 'yea I'm pimpin."
I'm talking to the young brothers.
If you going to be a pimp, you got to play the pimp role.
You can't let it take everything from you.
I be depressed.
Sometimes I just sit and think about why are people looking at me this way or what am I
doing to provoke people to act this way towards me and shit.
So I get high, I smoke weed, I drink.
You know what I'm saying?
To get over it.
My dad, he really be on the internet, so he see everything.
When it's like, "Why YBN Almighty Jay did this, or why did Almighty Jay do that, or
he got himself into this, he got himself into that."
And he be calling me like, "Yo, be safe.
I'm praying for you, just stay up bro.
Keep your head up."
I've been through a lot of shit.
I've been through people telling me, "Yo, you never going to be shit."
"Your music sucks.
You're not a good rapper."
I've been through people telling me ... I was about to go the Navy.
Nobody knew that.
I was about to go to the Navy.
Chopsticks came out two weeks before I was supposed to deploy, so I was like fuck it.
I'm not going.
My recruiter called me like, "Yo, you're not going to be shit if you don't go to the Navy.
You're going to be a bum.
You're not going to be that."
People always trying to throw me down.
So it's like, fuck, people don't understand bro.
I go through shit bro.
September last year, I just got off tour with Nahmir, G Eazy, Uzi.
I went to the beach right when I got off the plane.
I had my jewelry on and shit and I know I was tripping.
I'm riding scooters with my mans, this is Venice Beach.
Some niggas pull up on me, "Where you from?"
I knew they knew who I was.
I'm like, "I'm not from here.
Y'all niggas know that."
Like, "No, about to take all that jewelry and shit off."
I was like, "No, I'm not doing that."
So I just had to get up out of there.
I feel like jewelery is a blessing, but it's a curse because everybody want to be on the
internet, "I snatched his chain."
"I did this for this chain."
Everybody want to be that.
And niggas be trying to do that to start a rap career, and I don't understand why.
You'll never get a rap career off taking somebody's chain because no rapper's going to fuck with you.
I'm doing this, I'm doing that, I've got to make time for a kid.
I love him to death, but it's like something I wasn't ready for at the time.
If you look up TMZ, it's never "YBN Almighty Jay donated jerseys to his high school."
They didn't post that.
No one ever said that.
"YBN Almighty Jay gives money to this organization."
They never say that.
It's always, "YBN Almighty Jay goes to court for this."
"YBN Almighty Jay went to jail for this.
YBN Almighty Jay's girlfriend did this."
Right?
I'm saying it’s never nothing, no positive shit.
The Shade Room, they literally post everything.
I love them though, but they literally post everything.
Everything, every single thing.
A groupie is a chick that knows who you are and she want to make your life hell or just
get a come up off of you, and a lot of groupies try to black ball you.
You do this, say you want to have sex.
You have sex with them, now they like, "If you don't do this for me or you don't do this,
I'm going to tell somebody you did this.
I'm going to tell somebody you did that."
So it's like, what the fuck?
I done had the experience where somebody came up to me like, "Oh what's up.
I fuck with you."
Left, came back like ten minutes later with some niggas and we had to fight them.
It's a lot of people that I cut off that I used to fuck with when I was younger.
And when I got famous, it's like give me, give me, give me, give me, give me.
But it's never like, "How can I help you make some more money?" or "How can we do this together?"
It's just hand out, hand out, hand out, hand out.
It's not that I don't want it no more, I was just expressing is this what y'all want?
Y'all want to do that?
Throw me under the bus, whatever, just have this shit.
Just take it.
It's like fuck that's what y'all want.
So basically it's like I'll just take an L, whatever.
