“And I eat punches ask bout me. Imma rush you take what you got to give and resume beating some. Honestly ain’t wanna fight I was just tryna walk the beach 🤷🏽‍♂️ … Damn y’all never got hit in a fight before ? 😂 bruh asked for picture I said no I’m enjoying my self and I get called scary and a b*tch.

“I’m a fun dad. I love to enjoy myself, I love to be myself, and as much as I can encourage (my son) to be himself and get into his imagination … I’ll be the best example of that.”
