00:01 Like the fame, everything?
00:01 - At the beginning, not too well.
00:04 You know, because at first you want the fame
00:06 of being a champion, but that's,
00:08 you have no control then.
00:10 And that's when I first started getting in trouble.
00:13 Because sometimes I might be walking the street,
00:15 they don't know if my mother died, my brother died,
00:17 or somebody in my family, I'm hurt.
00:19 And they just jump in and say,
00:20 "Hey man, give me a picture, hey nigga, give me this,
00:22 "hey man, I love you, give me this."
00:24 And I might not be in the mood.
00:25 So I used to be violent about it.

00:31 and I stopped, I'm glad for paying,
00:33 but I couldn't sign any more checks, so.
