No, I didn't want to hit that situation. So, you're late, man. You're gonna show it out to me. You calling me a tribe? You're late. Me and Hollywood trying to fucking get hit. You a whole of fama, I can't have you waiting for me. You know? Yes, you a whole of fama. Thank you, thank you. Make some noise, man. Fuck you a whole of fama, bro. Can't be a whole of fama. But I told this- But you was late. You told my name to a whole of fama. But you were late. But you were the talk of famed. Talk with you late. Start the interview. Cause this nigga, you know, this world mall money, my nigga, this nigga's- This nigga, my fucking leave. I'm trying to see. Because you're raining. What call you would have drove to? Yeah, you and my man, you ain't going to be cool. All right. You got here right on time. I'm fine. I'm not late. You not late. We haven't done anything late, Tracy. But it's all good. You ain't nigga late. Nah, cause honestly, yo, every time I see a Walmart truck, I think about every car you got. Every time you pull up to the garden, what's your favorite car? But my baby is my life Ferrari. My baby is my life Ferrari. That's one that's five million dollars. It's all black, chip black. And I only drive it like once a summer, just to keep it charged up and all that. Cause you don't want to lose a Ferrari engine. So that's your favorite car. Is that blue? Is that the blue one? Is it red? No, it's all black. It's all black. And I don't want to take it out. Blue. You got a blue. Oh, no, no, I just got that one two weeks ago. That is the SF90. I have it in yellow. And I have it in blue. That's the 90. That's the second fastest Ferrari ever made. Hmm. Well, I have money before. Yeah. Money. Money. Broke all of that. But we just know that Walmart check was. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody just poor judgment. Nobody wants that to happen. He didn't pull over and go to sleep. Like most truckers do. He kept going and said, he was up for 28 hours before he hit us. Every 10, I believe is every 10 hours. You got to go to sleep. My brother, he didn't do that. Yeah, you got it. You got to go to sleep for 10 hours. Because those are big machines, man. Big machines. Especially when the truck was doing 75 miles per hour when it hit us. Wow. So that's pretty fast. A big machine, that big truck. It would be stopped with gravity, but with no gravity. So let me ask you a question. When you was in the hospital and you woke up and you was alive. Because like you said, you have money before this. Well, when I woke up, I had traumatic brain injury. So my brain had to be boot. I didn't really start remembering until about six months later. Wow. Damn. Yeah, I had to learn how to eat again, walk again, and all those things. Wow. My family was in labor. How many you changed and make you appreciate life more. It makes you appreciate life more. And I had so much good will for me that was overwhelming at first. And I was really scared. And so I mean my lady was just driving on a highway the other day, the other night. And she's seeing really for the first time, you freak out a little bit. Yeah, definitely. Because I got hit at night. Right. So it hit us from the back. We didn't see it coming. And when you get hit like that, the brain automatically goes into protection mode. So that's where the coma came from. Damn. For 10 days. Damn. Well, I love you, too. You know, I love you, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you know what it is. So I'm just glad to be here talking to you. No, definitely. Of course. Of course. We glad to have you here, man. And I enjoy your music, man. Man, we can't. I take it slow. Listen, like I said, you were a whole of fame. A fuck Uncle murder. I would like. People are me in traffic. Right. You're late. He's still thinking about being late. Look, look. Well, I'm just thinking about being late. I'm just glad that you got here. Yeah. You can be late and you didn't get. I was in my position. I was stressed out because you know, when you stress, you drive recklessly. No, I'm sad. That's the difference between reckless and bravery. Yeah. There's a big difference between reckless and bravery. See, reckless don't recognize the danger. Right. Not because it's bravery. Recognize the danger, but they do it anyway. You hear safe and sound. That's all I get about. Like I said, you got family too, bro. Definitely. And then some happy to you, man. How do you think they're going to take that? No, you know, I know what it did to my family. You right. My daughter was only 11 months old when I got hit. So I fought to come out that coma because I want to see her grow. She's a loving years old now. I love you, maven. And I'm a young, my lady Melissa. We all love you. She's a lady, Melissa. She holds me down. She holds me down. Good girl. Definitely. Good girl.

You ain't going with the lawyers. The lawyers. The lawyers. The lawyers. They know that if you got something to lose, you want to settle out. Because you don't want to get canceled. And then you ain't really about being a player. It's really more about business. Yeah. You know that. I don't like I've got minds. I ain't letting the glove on. Nobody. I don't know. Pretty thing. I want to love you. You know, I want to ask you, Trent. Is Hollywood still fun for you, man? No. I'm a Brooklyn dude. I'm a Brooklyn dude.
