Oh, wow,” said Gucci, before asking, “That’s how we’re gonna start?” “Yes, sir,” said Keyshia. “Well, you know what I’m saying, to be honest, you know I was one of those type of artists. I was always going back and forth to jail,” Gucci said.
I try… to help those artists that I feel like… I see a lot of myself in,” he added. “So, with that being said, I try to ride it out with them through their bumps or whatever they’re going through. But, I feel like, If I’m not helping them, who else gon’ help them?”
