You’re one of these old asses who hates. Why can’t you be more like Rick Ross or Snoop Dogg, the OGs that are cool as fuck and show flowers to the young motherfuckers? You have no room to talk, no room to speak. Me and Kai are 10 times richer than you will ever be, old man. We are more humble than you and we are nicer than you. You’re obviously a very salty old man. You have nothing going on for yourself, so you now try to hate on the young motherfuckers that are more successful than you.
