Random venting on twitter... but I really don’t think a lot of people realize what I risked and gave up to stand on my belief system.People don’t realize the arguments me and my parents were getting into in the beginning.

I literally just had one of the biggest songs on the radio in NC a year and half prior...all the DJs were rocking with me. Labels were calling. We were investing thousands of dollars into marketing. We had a whole system. I risked all of that.

My mom literally called me livid and said that I would have to choose between politics and music or else she would not ever help me invest again...she said that because I was becoming unpopular with my connects because of my political views.

Before that...my cousin in Atlanta with a lot of connects black balled me because I refused to “fake it until I make it”. Since I didn’t do it his way...he black balled me with his connects in Atlanta.

But I’ve NEVER been fake. I was turning down record deals at 17 years old. I’d rather be real and broke than fake and rich. That’s just me. I stand on my belief system. I don’t bend or fold. As a man...All you got in this world is YOUR WORD.

I just want to thank y’all for helping me prove everybody wrong. Hopefully more people will unapologetically stand on their belief systems in music + other forms of entertainment. We have a country to save and a culture to change.
