Its really bad and they have been fucking with me for the past two years even before i began rapping. I'm going to fight these charges because this is my life. I just had a baby girl the other day. I'm mad at the system right now because this ain't right. I mean look at my bond. The tryna lose me in the system."
But he is grateful for the long-standing support he's received from his closest friends and relatives as he works to clear his name.
He says, "Even through these recent circumstances my family and fans have stood by me and I thank them for that."
