He reflected on how having a relationship can take away focus that would otherwise be dedicated to one’s career.
He said: “If I could tell myself something at age 22, I would tell myself not to get into a relationship because it’s damn near like having a part time job. You really have to apply a lot of time and effort.
“Like, you might be doing videos all day and your girl get an attitude when you’re doing your last video, like, ‘N-gga, when you gonna take me out to eat? When you gon’ take me to the movies? When we gonna go on a date?’
