“The Black community and the Hispanic community, we deal with a lot of poverty and struggle,” Mo3 said. “I’m giving a message, I’m giving hope. Me, I’ve been a rapper, but you could do whatever you want. You ain’t limited to one thing. I preach that. Whether it’s my story or the next person’s story, they’re going to feel me.”
Boosie Badazz seemingly reacted to the death of his collaborator on Twitter with a demand that people “stop calling me n texting me.”
