"A Tesla literally just ran into the back of my car. And my head is literally killing me right now. I can't do this. It's insane... I'm in the middle of Atlanta, stuck because a car ran right smack into me. I was literally going the speed limit and a Tesla just came and rear-ended me heavily... My head is literally banging right now; it's throbbing right now. That literally could have been so much worse."

"I am grieving... Yes I’m going to post my baby, I love him and I miss him... My heart is broken, one day it will heal but I will still miss my son Marquay... Matthew 5:4 Tbh, if I didn’t go to church, I don’t know where I would be... One thing I know is Marquay loved God, his family, friends and church, I’m not saying church is the answer to everything, but God is... I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving."
