- 33:52Speaker 6: me and she was like, yo, like you need help?
- 33:55Speaker 4: So single?
- 33:57Speaker 2: Right?
- 33:57Speaker 1: Yeah? So you're not. I'm single. I just want to
- 34:04Speaker 1: spend the block.
- 34:04Speaker 7: I mean, I listen, I only only been up out
- 34:07Speaker 7: of this divorce since June, since the first day of June.
- 34:12Speaker 4: You're just gonna allow some time to just I just
- 34:15Speaker 4: feel good right now.
- 34:16Speaker 6: It's like it's like a myselfish bag right now.
- 34:19Speaker 10: And that's fine.
- 34:20Speaker 5: You trying to find your piece, Like like that's.
- 34:23Speaker 7: Why everybody getting mad at me. I do my wake
- 34:26Speaker 7: up videos. You know what I'm saying.
- 34:29Speaker 5: Now. But another one person that's single who just seemed
- 34:32Speaker 5: like they just came out of left field is Diamond.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, how did that happen?
- 34:37Speaker 4: Why should keep posting these texts with you and her?
- 34:39Speaker 7: I don't know, man, I just think, Yo, I just
- 34:44Speaker 7: think it's said man that we couldn't be cool.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Man. I just think it's said. But I thought y'all
- 34:49Speaker 1: was dating.
- 34:51Speaker 5: You didn't make her think another thing.
- 34:53Speaker 7: You know, I probably did, you know, through going through
- 34:56Speaker 7: my little pain, but my auntie, my mama, everybody were
- 34:59Speaker 7: telling her like that boy along he's going through something
- 35:02Speaker 7: like he just you know what I'm saying, just got
- 35:04Speaker 7: a divorce.
- 35:05Speaker 6: He ain't been divorced that long.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Lett him.
- 35:07Speaker 6: Let him breathe a little, you.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying.
- 35:09Speaker 6: And I don't know.
- 35:10Speaker 1: I think she wanted something to happen faster.
- 35:13Speaker 7: And I'm I'm gonna move on my own note because
- 35:16Speaker 7: I just got out of a motherfucker trying to tell
- 35:18Speaker 7: me what to do twenty four seven and heal, Yeah,
- 35:21Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. And I don't want to
- 35:23Speaker 7: cause no pain to nobody.
- 35:24Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.
- 35:25Speaker 7: You know, just you know, a hurt man, I hurt
- 35:28Speaker 7: a lot of shit while he hurt. You know what
- 35:31Speaker 7: I'm saying, He'll fuck some shit up. So I just
- 35:33Speaker 7: want to like not keep doing the same thing.
- 35:36Speaker 9: But not only with the aircut. I think you have
- 35:38Speaker 9: a lot of fans invested in you.
- 35:40Speaker 5: In Diamond's relationship too, because it was always speculated, and
- 35:43Speaker 5: then people speculated up into the BT Awards and then
- 35:47Speaker 5: you know, like y'all got together and like you said,
- 35:50Speaker 5: she may have wanted it to go that way, but
- 35:53Speaker 5: you were just like.
- 35:54Speaker 7: I'm stagnant, you know what I'm saying, because you know
- 35:57Speaker 7: of me and her past high ended.
- 36:01Speaker 6: It wasn't on me, you feel what I'm saying. I
- 36:03Speaker 6: didn't do nothing nobody.
- 36:04Speaker 7: But it's like, you know, it's I gotta trust issues
- 36:07Speaker 7: right now, you know, And I think that the more
- 36:12Speaker 7: I trust myself, the more I can grow on in
- 36:14Speaker 7: myself and trust myself, I'll probably be able to trust
- 36:16Speaker 7: somebody else one day.
- 36:18Speaker 5: Why did it end with y'all back.
- 36:20Speaker 1: In the day? Oh, I mean, it's go online.
- 36:23Speaker 6: You can google it. You know what I'm saying. She
- 36:26Speaker 6: cheated on you, Hey man, you know what I'm saying.
- 36:29Speaker 6: I ain't said you said.
- 36:32Speaker 9: Do you think that's why you will never like go
- 36:35Speaker 9: there with her?
- 36:36Speaker 7: It was some other stuff that that it was stuff
- 36:38Speaker 7: that a person like the stuff that that she just did,
- 36:43Speaker 7: the posting the picture and the text message. That's like
- 36:47Speaker 7: not something I trust. You know, that's not something that
- 36:50Speaker 7: makes me feel I can trust somebody. You know what
- 36:51Speaker 7: I'm saying.
- 36:55Speaker 6: You know, it's almost like baby Mama number two.
- 36:59Speaker 1: It's like you.
- 37:00Speaker 7: They want people to look at me a certain kind
- 37:02Speaker 7: of way. They want people to look at me in
- 37:03Speaker 7: a bad way, you know what I'm saying, because they
- 37:05Speaker 7: see people look at me in a good way, positive way,
- 37:08Speaker 7: and they want people to look at me very fucked up,
- 37:11Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. So I leave that to
- 37:14Speaker 7: God and I just be like, that's crazy because I
- 37:16Speaker 7: ain't doing nothing to you.
- 37:17Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I still ain't did nothing
- 37:19Speaker 1: to you.
- 37:20Speaker 7: And the more you keep trying to, I guess expose me,
- 37:25Speaker 7: it's just gonna make me not trust you.
- 37:27Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 37:27Speaker 7: It's gonna make me go all the way in the
- 37:29Speaker 7: corner somewhere and just be like when I walk when
- 37:31Speaker 7: I see you, I just keep going, you know what
- 37:34Speaker 7: I'm saying, Because you can't you can't be you can't
- 37:36Speaker 7: be mad at somebody for having feelings and reacting to it.
- 37:41Speaker 7: But at the same time, the way you do it,
- 37:45Speaker 7: it's gonna it's gonna have an outcome on how I.
- 37:47Speaker 6: Feel about you and how I treat the situation.
- 37:49Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying, Yeah, I think I think
- 37:51Speaker 8: that it seems like dominant things that you guys are
- 37:55Speaker 8: in a relationship based on her reaction after seeing you
- 37:59Speaker 8: know you and blogs and stuff like.
- 38:01Speaker 6: That, me and me and Erica, And I'm like, why
- 38:02Speaker 6: I can't be with my baby mama and.
- 38:04Speaker 7: Just take my daughter to school down to college. Why
- 38:06Speaker 7: I can't go get into jakuza with my baby mama.
- 38:09Speaker 7: There's nobody telling me what to do. There's nobody. Yeah,
- 38:12Speaker 7: I'm single, there's nobody in it.
- 38:14Speaker 6: I don't think she I mean, I mean, I mean,
- 38:16Speaker 6: but you can go look at you can go look
- 38:17Speaker 6: at her pictures like she's all in a nigga car,
- 38:20Speaker 6: in another nigga car. I don't got no rolls wars.
- 38:22Speaker 6: You see what I'm saying.
- 38:23Speaker 1: I ain't you know what I'm saying.
- 38:24Speaker 9: She could be doing that to try to make you jealous,
- 38:26Speaker 9: but that ain't.
- 38:27Speaker 1: I mean, you think you're gonna be I'm gonna be
- 38:29Speaker 1: fucking with you.
- 38:30Speaker 6: You and another nigga call I'm not FeelA fuck with
- 38:32Speaker 6: you like I'm cookbul like take you serious. Yeah, I'm not.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm cool. I was just I just seen you
- 38:36Speaker 1: in another nigga call. I mean, hey, how you doing?
- 38:38Speaker 1: We cool?
- 38:39Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. But other than that, I'm not.
- 38:40Speaker 6: I'm not an idiot.
- 38:41Speaker 1: But you can't take her to the b T Awards
- 38:43Speaker 1: and say that y'all just cool.
- 38:45Speaker 6: I think a lot of men take women to the
- 38:47Speaker 6: BT Awards and I think they're cool. You feel me,
- 38:51Speaker 6: I probably, like I said, I probably did mistakenly lead
- 38:54Speaker 6: her on, you know what I'm saying, because I was
- 38:56Speaker 6: in a bad place.
- 38:57Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 38:58Speaker 7: I was I need somebody. She was there for me,
- 39:02Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. I didn't drove the girl
- 39:03Speaker 7: car and everything. You know what I'm saying, Like she
- 39:06Speaker 7: didn't gave me more conversation than I really needed, you
- 39:10Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. So I appreciate them that, But
- 39:12Speaker 7: when it comes to you know, favorite people, you gotta
- 39:16Speaker 7: just let God deal with them. You start trying to
- 39:19Speaker 7: fight them yourself, then you get the bad and the stick,
- 39:22Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. And I don't know if
- 39:24Speaker 7: people notice that I'm a highly favorite person, very favorite
- 39:29Speaker 7: by God and it ain't.
- 39:30Speaker 1: Gonna go right.
