      The nigga also got a baby by some woman and can't pay child support, had money for crack but he had no money for all the kids he has.... he's a walking, talking contradiction to the group he belongs to, Public Enemy.

      Yeah all these peasants care about is themselves and that check, the check comes from drama which makes money off of our retarded culture that pays to see negativity in hopes of making themselves feel better for their own failures. If you the type that gets jealous when your friend succeeds then you livin the wrong life.

    He said do the math, so I did...
    $2,500 per day is $17,500 per week, and $70,000 per month. His yearly spend would exceed three quarters of a million, ($840,000).
    Over 6 years his financial outlay on drugs would total over 5 million dollars, ($5,040,000). 💵
