for the people that know me and love me, they know who i am, you know, they know i m not a racist, but i understand that people that didn t know me judge me, just from those words. that s all they had. if this tape wasn t leaked, and suppose there was no gawker trial, do you think you d be using that word today when you got angry? - no. - why? no, i ve tried to clean up my whole life, you know? i ve made a whole switch, almost a shift, from being negative, or fighting, scratching, and clawing, cause i work hard and i move forward. i m in check with myself, so all this stuff comes back around. you have to be what you say you are. how do you think the black community views you right now? what s so crazy is the black community has never backed away from me. as far as, you know, the black community and using the word, that s not part of who i am now. that s not part of my language because i understand how powerful words are. you know, growing up in south tampa, where we came from, it was
we just kind of hit it off, and to be around somebody that was enlightened and real spiritual, which i didn t even understand. every single day now is a good day for me. i don t have good and bad days. i ve got good days and i ve got better days. what went through your mind when you first heard there was a sex tape out? i mean, you used the n-word in this sex tape. that was the nuclear bomb, right? yeah, it was. if this tape wasn t leaked, and suppose there was no gawker trial, you think you d be using that word today, when you got angry? you think you d be using that word today, so how old do you want uhh, i was thinking around 70. alright, and before that? you mean after that? no, i m talking before that. do you have things you want to do before you retire? oh yeah sure. ok, like what? but i thought we were supposed to be talking about investing for retirement? we re absolutely doing that. but there s no law you can t make the most of today.
