"When people conversate about my personal life, it don't touch me or bother me too much... Like I see it, of course, because you know, everybody got a phone, but it don't rub me the wrong way or nothing because nobody really go [through] what I go through every day. You not me, for real. So it don't mean sh*t, for real."

He added that the public's opinions don't matter to him; what truly matters is what his friends and family think of him. He continued:

"I don't even know half the people saying anything... And everybody I know rock with me. Sh*t, there it is. I be feeling good when I step out. Got love."
