I apologize for the things that’s going around on the social media about me. However like I said, nobody’s not perfect, everybody makes mistakes. But at the same time I do keep God first and I want you guys to know that everything will work out for the best.
At the same time let the negativity continue to come because without negativity we cannot do positivity.

So sad… too bad. It’s almost like those reality stars that go on tv knowing they have a criminal past. SMH…
