, acted ‘crazy’ recently Both celebrities are known for their no-holds-barred personalities hence it is understandable that some critics can go overboard in reaction to their antics. He said: For every insult, slander, diss I get, I always look for the positivity in negativity and I laugh about these things.

I’m not stepping on anybody’s toes, I’m not doing anything wrong, they should leave me alone.’ But right now, I really don’t give a hoot. “And then it’s shocking how these things when I get them on social media especially on Twitter, I retweet them for people to have a good laugh. There’s really no point in trying to be a hypocrite and be retweeting only the praises.

I didn’t even know the extent of the damage. I got into the car, we were in traffic, and then I had vendors hitting the car. People came out their cars and [started calling me a disgrace]. I don’t think anybody has gotten it as hot [as I have].”
