They were all from L.A., we were in Atlanta shooting. And I thought, it would be really cool if I got them his mixtape and all the Crenshaw stuff. I reached out to a friend of mine, Danny, like, ‘Hey, do you know Nip? Could you reach out and see if I could get a discount on some of this stuff cuz I’m kinda buying in bulk.
“Nip never reached out; his management reached out to my friend. And I didn’t get the discount either. So, I was like, ‘Ok, I guess he’s not tryna give me, that’s fine. But I bought the stuff, gave the girls their wrap gifts. I ended up following him on… I don’t even know what social, my memory’s so wack, maybe it was Twitter? So I start following him and he DM’d me like, ‘Hey, thanks for the support, ‘preciate you. Send me your sizes so I can send you a personal box. So then he gave me his number and so I text him, because I was like, I don’t do DMs.’”
