"We talked about a lot of different things. We talked about life and my mom passing, and we hugged and talked about old times. I noticed something about her at the time. She was coke at the time and was very very high…. I ain’t going to lie, it's scary but it's real shit. When she walked off something was telling me like, 'she's gonna die.'”

"I wish I could've said something bro, I ain't going lie.”
