names I just mentioned are included too, so trust me, before we can get out to the rest of the world we’ve got to get our house right. The big homie Snoop’s album is finna drop, I’ve got two joints on there. The Game is dropping some mixtapes, 40 finna drop. So I know for a fact the relationship is getting better. What kind of responses did you get from your OZONE sex issue interview? (laughs) I still get people hittin’ me about that issue. A lot of girls are like, “Damn, boy, are you for real or are you just playin’?” or, “You’re all talk.” And then the females that really know me, they were like, “Damn, you just gonna tell everything?”
“[rapping] is no different from being a truck driver that has to be gone for weeks at a time. people think just because you’re in entertainment a nigga doesn’t have a heart. it’s not like that at all.” Were your baby mamas mad at you for discussing the threesome you had with them? Naw, because it’s actually three baby mamas and [that story] only involved two of them. So they were all able to keep their little lies up, you know what I’m sayin’? They all pretended it wasn’t them. So I really got out of that one.
Do you have a lot of child support to pay? Three baby mamas? Naw. You only have to pay child support when you don’t support your child. You know, I’ve been making money in this business for a while. Just because y’all don’t see me doesn’t mean I ain’t being heard. How do you have time to spend with three kids in addition to launching your career? I mean, I’m not going to say it’s not hard. It’s hard, but I can’t be selfish because I’m the main supplier of how [my children] eat. If that’s the job I have to do, then that’s the job I have to do. It’s no different from being a truck driver that has to be gone for weeks at a time. 46 // OZONE MAG
Sometimes people think that just because you’re in entertainment that a nigga doesn’t have a heart and all that shit. It’s not like that at all. It’s just like any other job – people get to see the one side, but y’all don’t get to see the other side. You can’t judge it until you’re in it. You’ve got to have a lot of good family and some real understanding parents, and I commend the mothers of my children, for real. They’re real cool. What else are you working besides music? I was trying to get into this little acting thing. I had a couple opportunities so I’m trying to see what’s up with that. I can’t really say that I want to do anything else besides music. I really love to do music. If not mine, somebody else’s. When opportunities present themselves, I definitely try to take them all. All my skills revolve around music. I produce as well. I want to try to get into TV and film production, as far as scores and stuff like that. I have a lot of different interests but it all involves music. Do you have any big features we should be looking out for? I got a song coming out with Terrace Martin, featuring somebody major that’s definitely gonna make a lot of noise. I ain’t gonna say who it is but it’s one of my homeboys that had a great year in 2010. He had a fantastic year and I’ve got a record dropping with him. I pray I’m still on the 9th Wonder album. Was “My Ex” sparked by a certain situation? Yeah, I was high. I was way loaded one night. I was lookin’ for my ex-girl and she wouldn’t answer the fuckin’ phone. Man, I was hot. But I was so high I was just singin’ “damn, I feel like fuckin’ my ex,” and I’m so loaded that I don’t stop singin’ it once I hang up the phone. So I figured out how to play the keys or whatever and made the beat and made the hook and just talked about how I was feelin’ at that very moment. What’s your drug of choice? (laughs) Weed. I smoke marijuana, that’s my main source of ignorance. I love to get high. I used to do the pills a lot but I don’t fuck around too much no more. I had some wild, wild experiences off the pills. I got to a point where I got to chill out on certain shit. I’m a little older now, you know what I’m sayin’? How can people get in touch with you? Hit me on that Twitter.com/ItsAProblem.
