right i had to get my injury right and i came to a great place and let me tell you something as much as i love the city as much i love the city and partially because of my profession man country is cool as a yeah country boy yo i'm in ohio i mean yellow springs ohio right now i'm part of uh day chapelle's uh summer camp it's like a grown ass camp right where people are just every day being creative, every day showing love, good vibes, get to perform three nights a week in a cornfield. And right now I'm out in nature.

Nature is the shit. That's great. When last time you've been canoeing what have you been doing though canoeing oh i went yeah i went today i went on the river today you went on the river today but i went tubing today on what river yeah i made a video for you it's um called the rainbow river in ocala you've been god damn this bitch been canoeing while I'm canoeing. I'm thinking I'm going to have the only canoe story. And you've been canoeing. You've been getting your white skirt on? Did you have a tube or a boat? We had a tube and we tied all of our tubes

together and we had all of our food and our sandwiches in the middle. Oh, y'all was prepared, man. We wasn't prepared. We didn't have no goddamn water. We didn't have no goddamn water. We didn't have no goddamn water. Which one? Look at these cameras instead of this.

We didn't have no, listen. That's what I was telling you. We didn't have no, we went kayaking or YouTubing or batter-ramming or whatever that shit is. It's a boat shit. Like, we didn't have nothing. We had, like, nothing. We didn't have no water. Who the fuck goes fucking to the river? We went to the river with no

water. We didn't have no cooler. We didn't have no snacks. We just had two towels and a whole bunch of inexperienced canoers. Dave Chappelle is not the best canoer radio raheem you did you have a guy or no no we just went ourselves but we i met a motherfucking river nigga i read it i met

a river nigga named bob right this nigga was a river nigga right he wasn't black he was a white dude but you soon as you see him you know this with the river like his boat didn't have no numbers on the side like our boat had like h47 you know the rental bullshit ass kayaks they give you probably get lost yeah the ones that they just fall off the cars and this the river we call him the river river man the river man he kept just rowing he kept rowing past me like silent like we niggas on the river right we got music playing we listen to pop smoke and shit this dude just come just paddling down and every time he passed me he said don't stop paddling he was like and every he kept saying don't start paddling and then he'll just go ahead of us then the nigga had the little fishing ride

he was fish he just pulled over and just we going past like that's doing it right and he was like just keep on paddling This nigga knew where the fucking eagle's nest was. He was like, right there's the eagle's nest. And I was like, nigga, nobody keep, get the fuck away from me, man. And then I kept running into him. And then we started having a dope ass conversation. Meanwhile, Dave is in a fucking a raft with three people that don't paddle

Dave was with his family and the photographer and his close friend Radio Rahim Radio Rahim fucked the whole fucking river raft up. This nigga would not paddle. Yo, you know how disrespectful

that is to niggas? I don't know if people they say, Donnell, let it go. Let it go, right? But it's hard to fuck with a nigga that don't paddle. Yo, rafting is a show of character you know like think about it i never thought about crew right my brother was in crew only black nigga in crew ever and in school now maybe him and somebody else but it was just weird niggas like he ain't on the basketball team.

He's on the crew team. Faggot ass nigga, man. Who the fuck do crew? One of my friends, one of the guys I came to school with, Michael Porterfield, he took crew to the Olympics. He was rolling on the Olympic team. And then I know that on a raft, bro, there's four people on a raft and you don't pedal?

What the fuck are you doing here? Get the fuck, get out of here. So who was guiding the boat? Dave. Dave kept on saying, I'm the rudder. Dave kept on saying, I just want to be the rudder. But Dave ain't got no fucking

rafting experience. This nigga was dressed like he was at Fashion Week in Paris. This nigga had a deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep neck. Nigga, this nigga, I ain't never seen a neck this deep, son.

I said, I gotta be... Yo, let me tell you, this nigga's neck was deep and it was to the side. I don't know if anybody watching Star Trek New Generation, but he had a Star Trek shirt on. And the nigga whole titty was out.

And he kept having to do this. Y'all can't see this, but he kept women out there, if your titties ever pop, you know what it is. You know your titties out for a second. You don't know. You're like, whoa, was my titty out? He kept doing that. And he was getting mad at me because I was rolling down the river laughing, Jay. I was laughing. I could not stop laughing at this nigga. He keep popping

out. He rolling the boat. And fucking Radio Raheem is not doing anything. He's not doing nothing to contribute. And then Matthew Candy candy he got to take the pictures to capture it so it's just dave in the boat by himself i know being on the river is so peaceful so was there a moment of peace like it was it was a point when it was i will say this this was interesting when you first start rafting and canoeing and especially with a group you're probably like i'm gonna do this we're gonna do this dave never been rafting before this nigga lived his whole life he's never been he says my first time doing it so for a lot of people it was their first time doing it don't have fucking canoeing experience so at the beginning of it

it always starts off it's fun and yeah come on you're on the wrong way then after a while you're like how many bridges we gotta pass before we're at the end of this shit? You know you gotta- How did you end up by yourself? You're on your own boat. I got a kayak. I got a kayak.

I was like, fuck that. I didn't wanna be, and I had got fucked up the day before, and I didn't wanna have to be the one that like tap out and be sleeping on the, I was like, just let me get shit by myself. Right, but then, going back to your point, when you first start, it's fun, and everybody's excited. Then after a while, you don't know what the distance is going to be.

And then you think, then it starts getting calm. You start getting away from people. You start learning the right way to stroke it. I ain't never had no problem stroking. Feel me? Damn. Are you ever coming back down there? It seems like you're having so much fun. I don't think so i don't i gotta come see austin i gotta come see austin but stephanie's here

oh dope okay so stephanie's here but austin stayed no stephanie's here okay stephanie No, Stephanie's here. Okay. Stephanie. Where's Austin? Stephanie, go back there. No, right here. Say hi, Stephanie. Hi.

Yo. No, come back, come back, come back. I'm back. All right. She's an on-site producer. She's an amazing photographer. And she was She's an on-site producer. Hi. She's an amazing photographer. And she was just a stranger walking down the street.

And I said, do you want to be on a podcast? And she said, why not? So Stephanie's here. Nice to meet you. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Because the reason why Stephanie's very versed on quartz. What is this? What you what yeah what I'm telling you I'm getting a court life explain what what I just picked up

And what does it do Amethyst what does that mean? I mean ameth uh if anything like it's it has like you act like earlier you act like you knew all about the goddamn quartz earlier you was like looking at the quartz like okay they explained i'm not a quartz nigga and i'm not saying you're a quartz bitch i ain't saying you're a quartz bitch but you know when you saw this you said oh i know all about it so what the fuck does it do well I mean there's different types of crystals in different ports you gotta come closer to the mic oh don't why we don't got a mic for her oh it was last minute okay go ahead and just keep in mind I gotta explain the process here in Yellow Springs and here at the Dave Chappelle's uh summer camp everybody that's

a participant or it's in our circle has has been constantly COVID-19 tested. This nigga tested me three times in one day. I'm like, nigga, I just went to the bathroom. You know, like it's been rough on my nose out this bitch, man, every time I turn around, they like, Donnell. But- Oh, it's no oral swab? Nah, nah, nah.

They got the, I call it it the machine is called engine engine. It's a certain type. It's the same machine in the same process. They'd use at the white house. Like this dude, literally Dave has literally spent over a hundred thousand dollars testing niggas. Yep. thousand dollars testing niggas yep and I know he probably spent ninety nine thousand on me how many times he keeps really this is the test that insurance people are making a lot of money.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've never been... It's like a Chappelle bubble. You know what I mean? The NBA is about to do it. The NBA, if it's not having already started, the NBA... Orlando, right? Orlando, right? Yeah.

They're going to go and they can opt out or whatever. They can opt out or whatever. Now, going back to this court. We're talking about nature. Help me. Stephanie, where are you from? If you're going to be a guest, we need to know where you're from. I'm from Orange County, California.

Orange, California. Shout out to all the Californians out there. All right, now explain this. So, I mean, each court, each mineral has different properties. Amethyst, for example, I mean, when you look it up, there's a lot of different meanings for it. I don't know the exact. But no.

So you don't know no more about quartz than I know about motherfucking quartz. Oh, my God. I thought you was a nature bitch. No disrespect. I don't mean it like that. You know what I mean? But she was talking, son. She was talking like, oh, shit, that's the atheist so-and-so and so-and-so.

But it's amethyst. Amethyst. Basically what you said to me, it's a purple fucking rock. That's what you said. Can I get the lighter? Your energy is coming off very bad right now yo javanta yeah the thing that i love about being out here it just feels man country it just feels so peaceful like i was saying energy seems different you feel like revived i'm smudging nigga look at this what's going on yeah what is y'all talking about man yo you know who put me onto this smudge

life common last week what the fuck you mean nice common nigga oh common all right well anyway all right the nigga gotta get you so what but he was um we were uh backstage and i saw this nigga kept doing this he kept on hitting the lighter and i saw this little ball of coal or whatever right here right go get a chair get comfortable listen so this nigga in a party like this and i see this the red little red coal right and i'm like this nigga selfish as shit i'm like this nigga won't pass the blood yeah i was like what kind of weed this nigga got dead he and he ain't passing that shit? But it's the smudge. You know about the smudging?

A little bit. Yeah, can you explain to me? I have no idea what smudging is. You know what smudging is? Explain what smudging is. Not at all. When you want to dispel negative energies from areas, you smudge. When you want to dispel negative energies from areas, you smudge.

Yo, everywhere I go, I'm smudging. So he was in the club with Palo Alto? Smudged it, yes. Yo, everywhere, and you always knew. He's like, God damn. It smelled like Common was up in this motherfucker. He's smudging. And motherfucker, Tiffany Haddish

doing 360s robot challenge at everybody. Tiffany is the life of the party, man. We had a show Fourth of July. I can't remember

what it was. It was Tina Turner's song. And she sang it. Oh my God. She must have done this in the movie. If she haven't done this in the movie if she haven't done this in

the movie she probably will she killed it it was so she bawled before or nah i saw the bitch before she cut her hair it was like i felt like we did it okay i want to know we had so much goddamn fun she came back and she was like fuck this man that's trip Jon Hamm rock with us motherfucking Syfe sounds rockin with us motherfucking motherfucker Tali rockin with us motherfucking common badu the other day it was a brother Ali niggas not even it just it really feels like and I don't know how to say this it feels like an adult camp you know it feel like really it feels like something we should have been doing before you know like the way does it feel like this is gonna happen every summer or every this is starting a new wave of something new and outdoor i don't know i think i think it

feels good whoever does it right it's gonna be people do it right always thought that like like smaller size festivals stuff would probably be the first thing to come back because you could social distance people you know you can like in the case of what dave has done in yellow springs like i don't know if you can go anywhere and feel as safe as it was and all the efforts everybody put into you know understanding what's really going on but at the same time people having a good time i'm i'm really i'm i'm like if you can if you listen now it's birds yeah birds it's chirping like stuff like this have make you appreciate look they're on the fence watching the podcast yes yo it's like don Donnell, how's the RV life? You haven't even told me like what the hell. Man, them niggas took my goddamn RV away from me.

What? I had an RV that slide out and every day they would move. I had to move. Every day they act like I was a pervert in town or some shit, right? It'll be like, Dave's like, yeah, put them over there, right? And then I was like, did these niggas give me an RV because they think I'm going to get the Rona? I'm like, why?

I got an RV. They like, man. And Dave never visits an RV. He thought that was a Corona RV. But I kept moving my shit. And it was fun. I didn't really get to do exactly what i wanted to do i know at some point um i'm gonna go on the road in an rv i like the idea of you want you smudging

here you go i think you're good on the smudging what see that's a problem a non-smudger would say a non-smud a person didn't know what a smudge with like oh why you got to put your smudge around me i've been getting smudged stephanie smudged me i get smudged all over the place that's good we still have good energy around all the time it's good but i'm telling you the the thing that's going on here in yellow spring when i go back to it feeling like a um summer adult camp it's just the love the unity like people coming together that haven't been around each other for a while and i know it could probably be overwhelming because a lot of people out here are going to be here for the entire summer that like left los angeles left new york to be a part of whatever the is going

on in ohio you know it was it felt like a a creative boot camp where you gotta start from scratch you know people especially people that have performed doing this like um quest love he hadn't played the drums and since the pain damn pandemic started he didn't know so many dope stories he didn't know how he was going to feel right so everybody's all excited he comes out he sits down and everybody excited he leans back i guess where his sticks normally are did you know this did you know this happened normally where his sticks are and. Did you know this? Did you know this happened? Normally where his sticks are. And he was looking around, and a nigga couldn't find his sticks.

I'm like, oh, that's not good. Oh, shit. Yo, I'm like, yo, I don't give a fuck how many pieces your drum set is, nigga. If you ain't got no sticks. Those are kind of important. Those are, like, really important. I'm no drummer. You know what I'm saying? But I guarantee if you talk to any drummer, any drummer out there,

they're going to say, yeah, I would need sticks. So everybody's walking around panicking like whoever's job is in charge of keeping sticks was going to have a problem. Like that nigga, he was about to be that nigga um what is what is um you had one job one job yo i went i was like this i know i wasn't in charge of fucking sticks and it was so dope because he started with his hands. Like, oh, shit. With a regular drum.

You know that. I know that with congos and shit. But he was doing shit like he had his hands became sticks. He was stickless. He was stickless. Oh, that's so dope. That smudge setting in, right? That smudge setting in.

See how it is when the smudge set in? It just vibed. It's just right. So he's like this. He's boom. And we like, oh, shit, this is happening. Right? I'm like, oh, my God, this is happening, right? But I'm like, because I hadn't smudged that day.

So I had a little negative energy. I said, I was like, yeah, but how long can that's a nigga that don't smudge. Let's say something like that. I said, yeah, but how long can, that's a nigga that don't smudge when I say something like that. I said, yeah, but how long can he do that? You know, I wasn't smudged that day, right? That's when the smudge come through. Yo. So how long did he do the performance, Dada?

Did he go the whole set with just his hands no okay I'm sorry I lost I didn't drop a bomb on a bitch nature nigga drop a bomb for a fucking canoeing and kayaking nigga batteramming what's that shit batteram

whatever we doing that shit the boy I didn't hear the bomb I didn't hear the bomb. But listen, you didn't hear the bomb? You don't got that. I know that. All right. You ain't got to hear it. I'm not connected to the roadcaster.

It's somewhere. It's in Pro Tools. I hope the phone is. We got a whole different setup. I hope the phone is connected. Hey, listen, man. Listen. Stop.

Stop. Stop. Stop. You fucking up my nature. You're You gonna fuck my nature up, man. Don't fuck my nature up, Gervonta. I love you too much. I wish you was here. You gotta come and get some of this nature. I wanna come. You gotta come and get some of this smudge stick. Oh, I'm dead. Gosh damn it, Donna. Hey! Yo! Smudge stick, nigga!

Oh! They got guns out. They shooting out here, son. They got joints that go like this out here. Yo! These white boys, Javanda, they walk me in the grocery store. They be walking the grocery store with these. They ready. How much artillery you need to hear this noise in the street yo

yo and then he did his thing it was amazing oh get this This is the part I didn't share with you. So they always say I stay on stage a long time. Right? They always talk about- That's a known fact, I know. We all know that. Yeah, but okay, this is what, and I hear that a lot, right?

But what people won't acknowledge is what's going on when I'm up there. You know what I'm saying? I'm up there. You know what I'm saying? I'm smoking them. We're in a cornfield. It's not like they all, yo, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we're in a cornfield, man. I'm like, yo, we're in a cornfield, right?

And it's people that are in the cornfield. What is it? That don't want to go home. Right. They want to stay in that in a cornfield, right? And it's people that are in the cornfield that don't want to go home. They want to stay in that motherfucking cornfield. It's such a beautiful feeling knowing that people feel that way. And this was a part of Javan. This was so dope because every night is something different. Every night is met with some type of challenges, right? Fourth of July, the forecast was it was supposed to rain. And it smells very natural out here.

Hold on one second. Don't let me forget my thoughts. You're talking about the Fourth of July. No, no, just hold that. Because I got gotta take the time and tell y'all guys about we got a new um we have a new sponsor oh that's a Hawthorne Hawthorne dot C-O okay some people get confused and they'll say

you know what I love about it I love the personalization like this is fire and it looks like it's for everybody you know how when you were young and getting into the cologne game, whatever, it usually had like three scents. You know, it was like three popular scents.

And every dude smelled like that. Mm-hmm. You know, whatever. I remember that. Yeah, whatever it was, you smelled like that. Cool water. It was nothing that was personalized about it or individual to you.

And you know what was the worst cologne of all time? What? Don't say it was probably my favorite. The Gordon Cologne. Jordan was the worst? Yeah, but people bored. Curve, I think, was the worst. Curve, I think, was the worst. Curve?

Every nigga in high school had Curve on. Every nigga in high school had Curve on. That was it. Oh, man. That's been tough. You got that email, right? Oh, shit. Whatever.

Anyway, so the night that we performed on 4th of July, going back, 4th of July, it started raining. And I said to myself, I was like, damn, man, if a couple of people get up, like panic, like, oh, my God, I'm getting wet. Then everybody's going to get out. I was just hoping that wouldn't happen and as the night went on two comics that went on straight I think Mo Hammer and Michelle Wolfe had been on and cipher sounds and yeah she's funny very funny I'm having fun time canoeing she got the smudge stick Michelle I smudge she got the smudge stick Ielle i smush she got the smudge stick oh how many times huh i don't know i only had to hit her with like a couple twirls and then uh and what i was saying you were talking

on fourth of july oh yeah okay i'm sorry you were scared that people would leave because of the rain i was terrified and then as the night went on, it just kept raining. It would not stop. And these people, 500 people would not move. They would not move. No ponchos, no nothing. Yo, let me tell you something. It was a lot of black people, right? Yo, I know.

If that was a black essence of festival, it started raining, the festival was over. Oh, yeah. Yo, the essence of festival, outside Festival outside activity if it rains are canceled. Yo, fuck that. Yo, it was like maybe a handful of people had ponchos. But for the most part, it was 400 people sitting in their chair fucking getting rained on.

And it was funny for me because david just did an r kelly joke right so i was like r kelly's like that's the big payback they got peed on your whole motherfucking concert it felt like it was raining r kelly p for some reason and i was on stage and then it stopped halfway through my set it stopped and then they had a fucking firework session like for like 30 minutes that shit was longer than any any of I think that shit was probably about the same time as the firework festivities for the um Washington Monument you got can you Can you Google that? Google that. Google that. How long? How long? I'll Google it. How long?

It's the 4th of May. What did you do for the 4th? I was in Miami with my aunt. Oh, no. You better get a swab, nigga. You better get another swab. You better get another swab. You better go back up to Nose. You left Miami, nigga.

So even waiting for the rap, nobody was practicing social distancing. Like there, there aren't like strict rules out here. Like it is in LA. Like they just started requiring face masks. So everybody has just been in each other's face it's crazy like it's so it's crazy because you from it's crazy because you've coming from a place damn it man i gotta read this goddamn commercial i feel so bad um we was um we was in california It's like mad city.

I was on the phone with Hawthorne for 30 minutes last week, right? And I had the best conversation with Hawthorne because they explained in their process what the brand is about, how you do a quiz in a survey, which I did. It goes with your age, and it's a lot of factors,

but it's a quiz, like a 20, it's a quiz. You take the quiz, and then they tailor something specific to you, and some of that is body products, lotions, colognes. The biggest thing is the cologne side. They want you to have a cologne that's specific to you. And I've tried it. And, you know, I know it's kind of crazy. It actually worked.

It actually smelled good. But the best thing for me was that it was kind of fun. It felt like just the process of answering some questions and getting something specific to you. It was kind of fun. And then you got to check out Hawthorne dot co dot co So. And that's Hawthorne

What is the best part of for you? What has been the best experience

out there? The best experience for me or the best moment for me has been 4th of July when it rained and I performed in the rain and ate them up. That was a

dope moment because sometimes you have a show and it's like hadn't really hit that mark that you want yet.

And to be able to go up there and do that under the circumstance of rain. Damn, something bit me Nature bit me it was a it was a circuit. What is it? Stopped talking to me disrespectful like this don't play with me just cuz I'm in the country Don't like that. Oh, man. I don't got my gat nigga. Don't play sir Don't play damn son. because I'm in the country. That don't mean I don't got my gat, nigga. Don't play, son. Don't play.

Damn, son. Where'd you find this? Exactly. Fire on these niggas in the country. I'm so mad. I'm taking my soundboard on the river. I want to come out there and talk to you. Donnell, live from nation.

You're normally seeing this guy in a smog-filled city. Got a chance to get away, get some nature. He's peed on five trees. He did it for fucking nature. What's right here? Poor tree. No, you're supposed to wear the trees. Trees aren't supposed to be peed on, nigga.

Right? Yeah. I know that's got to be a tough life, nigga. You grew up, you know, every chance. I grew up peeing on trees. I was like, that was a spy. You can't pee in the grass. Pee on the tree over there. It'd be peace days.

It'd be one tree that you'd be like, man, don't. You can't pee in the grass. Pee on the tree over there. It'd be peace days. It'd be one tree. They'd be like, man, don't go over to that pissy ass tree. All right. That was about time. That was that. But when do you go back to L.A.? I go back on Monday. So I'm back at it.

Yo, niggas, you're going to. Oh, man. You was trying to get in a club in motherfucking Miami. And I'm out here in the river kayaking and shit. And you wanted to shake your ass. Black lives matter and black ass, definitely. It really does. So you had to go, you wanted to get your, hey, right?

It was shut down, I know. Like, the streets were bare. Everybody was, like, barricades and gates closed. We were so disappointed. But I guess at this point, because Florida is a hot spot, they aren't taking any chances anymore, which I can respect. Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying about being out here is weird because people see pictures with, oh, they ain't got no mask or whatever.

The whole squad tested. Yeah. I wanted you to try something, but I don't think this is a good episode to try it. What? Tell me. Let me get my smudge on again.

What time is it? I got a show. It's 9 o'clock? Nig show. It's 9 o'clock? Yeah. Nigga, it's 9 o'clock? It's 8.35. What time is your show? Oh, 9 o'clock. Oh, you...

I don't go on first. You have a show at 9 o'clock? The show starts at 9 o'clock, but I go on like about 9.45. Oh, you wild. You wild. I go about 9.45. Yo, man, don't... Listen.

You hear that? That's nature. Be peaceful, okay? I am. All right, see? fine yo man don't listen you hear that that's nature be peaceful okay i am all right see let's get on a different vibration right stephanie it seems like you've been on a journey with energy and vibration and i'm liking the new donnell so is this something that you're gonna carry on with you when you get back to la of course i I am, nigga. Once you smudge, once you smudge... Well, you have sage,

right? Do you sage your house at all? Nah, but I know I be smelling it, so somebody trying to smudge me. I was like, why every time I come in this room, it's all sage-y and shit. Motherfuckers trying to get rid of my energies. I'm coming back with a smudge stick. You wanna play?

Look how the smudge travels, man. Yup, but it's been a good ride. But I'm telling you, there's nothing like being in touch with nature. Like walking around, seeing trees. Yo, I'm out here with the stars like little dipper num i ain't talking about tiffany you know that little i'm out every night i see stars can you imagine that i have a question for you donnell and i know this might be personal because i know you have a august um crush

august what a crush hey listen man what's been happening listen listen jada listen first off first off i want to say this i don't have a crush on no motherfucking august alcina i'm just a uber fan i'm'm a super fan. I like this kid. I like his story. It's kind of dark, but I like his come up. And then he really sings from the heart. And there was an allegation. Or was it allegations, right?

What they tried to say. No, it was facts. No, it started off like it was not happening for real. Right, right, right. It was like this. J.D. was like, what? Ain't nobody fuck that little boy, right? She was like this jay was like well anybody that little boy right she was like she was like what anyway what i got uh she was like what i look like that little boy and he caught her out there with one of them songs and it started as she was trying

to help him get his life together which she did did. And the nigga caught feelings. That's my man. You should know August gonna catch feelings. That nigga cry on every song. Like when he was talking to Yee and I love both of them, the nigga was kind of crying. Kind of crying. Yeah, he was like... Do you think it's even a win that he was able to even be with Jada on that?

What'd you say? Is it a win? The only thing I like about that... Or an entanglement, rather. The whole thing is, people are of the notion that the Smith family do whatever the fuck they want to do. You lighting that like it's a blunt. You got to get it stuck. You got to get it stuck. You got to get it going. But I'm just saying people like, yeah, they know that their family is like,

they do whatever they want to do. But this came along, it's like crazy. Yeah, so what I'm saying is, do you feel like for August to be dating or having a relationship with Jada, do you feel like that August to be dating or having a relationship in a relationship with Jada, do you feel like that's a win for him? I think it was a win for him because the way I look at the timeframe, it feels like she did a lot of good things for him, for his spirit,

his health, for a lot of things. You know what I'm saying? Like they on different type of frequencies. People be on different frequencies, you know i'm saying like i they on different type of frequencies people be on different frequencies you know i think she did contribute to him getting stuff together he probably did fall in love with her and it seems like he's hurt now well at least that's what black the nigga just got a cry voice he don't he ain't hurt he all right i mean have you seen his tweets like he's going off on Keke Palmer.

It just seems like he's hurt. And I feel like even the confession with Yee seemed like there was something else going on. But he's the nigga he always hurt. He stay crying. And that's my nigga, but he stay crying. He's one of them niggas. But I think they that's shit crazy i know if they would have flipped it it was an older nigga with a young chick they would have been saying so much shit

they just act like jayden wasn't fucking her son best friend yo man imagine that was reversed man and it was a nigga like, yeah, man. I'm fucked. What it say? Yeah, I'm fucked. Fucking my daughter's best friend. My daughter's best friend. She got off the hook on that shit.

It wasn't nothing illegal. I think that those type of people, they do connect on some spiritual shit. She kept on saying, when she said. Entanglement. Not entanglement. When she started, you she said. Entanglement. Not entanglement. When she started, you knew where the entanglement was going to come up. Something crazy was coming up. Because you started explaining your journey.

Like, bitch, where you going? How many journeys you going to go on, bitch? You going on a journey? You going on a journey January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August. Definitely August. I know you was on a journey in August. So what month did you go on your journey? In August?

August? Yo, that chick got mad journeys, son. I respect her, though. You have to respect her. You have to respect her. You have to respect her decision to come. He was concerned. He was concerned about

basically fucking a nigga girl. He was like, he didn't want to be that nigga because some niggas will do it. He would just, look, bro. She ain't gonna keep on coming over to my door thomas everything okay in here

she let it go you know some got their mothers i see some mothers out there be like man everything okay yes you ready boy everybody know everybody know the nigga with the fine mother yeah but he tried to be evidently it was their issue was that uh it got too big too many people was talking about yeah nigga drop the album what a perfect time What a perfect time. What a perfect time. Yeah, but that shit gonna blow over. Everybody wanna get entangled now. That's the new shit.

Entangled. That's the real shit. Yo, it's like, I'm just... I can see women now, they're gonna be doing their hands like, yeah, I'm just gonna do a little entangle. What was y'all doing? Y'all was at the store just tangling. Just

tangling. Just out here tangling. Yep. But I hope that's water, Donnell. What was that? I hope that's water. That was so disrespectful. Did you think I would be drinking some vodka or something like that?

Did you just say, I hope that was water? did you think I would be drinking some vodka or something like that did you just say I hope that was water this is water did we just meet oh my god that's awful that is so awful you have never seen me drink vodka like that you've never yo admit me if you ever see me drink vodka like water, just fucking tase me and take me to fuck with some smudge and everything.
