“MY PURPOSE IS FAR GREATER THAN MY PAIN”
(COURT CASES, DRAMA, RUMORS, CAR CRASHES, HEARING LOSS, MISCARRIAGE, BREAK-UPS, JAIL)……….. I’VE SURVIVED IT ALL. THAT’S WHY IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE THE NIGGAS I TRUSTED MY CAREER WITH BETRAY ME. “BROOKLYN’S DON DIVA” MY HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MIXTAPE CD IN STORES TODAY, WAS COMPILED DURING MY INCARCERATION AND RELEASED WITHOUT MY INPUT OR APPROVAL…..A BLATANT DISRESPECT TO MY ARTISTRY AND REPUTATION. AFTER HEARING “BDD” IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME LAST FRIDAY, I WAS DEVASTATED. I DECIDED TO SEEK LITIGATION AND FIRE CHAZ. REPETITIVE VERSES, 5YR OLD SONGS, AND ARTISTS IVE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF, LEFT ME IN DISBELIEF. I COULDNT BELIEVE THE SHIT I WAS HEARING. SAY WHAT U WANT ABOUT ME, BUT NEVER IN MY 12YEAR CAREER HAVE I EVER DISAPPOINTED MUSICALLY. WHEN I EMBARKED ON MY CAREER IN 96′, I MADE THE CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO BUILD A GLOBAL BRAND THAT SUPERSEDES MUSIC, SO THAT MY RELEVANCY AND PERTINENCE TO RAP HISTORY WOULD FOREVER BE APPRECIATED. “BROOKLYN’S DON DIVA” IS MY BRAINCHILD, MY BABY, MY PRELUDE TO BLACK ROSES. I SPECIFICALLY TOLD THEM NOT TO RELEASE MY CD UNTIL I CAME HOME, COULD ORCHESTRATE IT PROPERLY, AND DELIVER THE PROFESSIONAL LEVEL OF PRODUCT YALL ARE ACCUSTOMED TO. NIGGAS VIOLATED. THE QUALITY IS ATROCIOUS. CHAZ BLAMED KOCH, AND KOCH BLAMED CHAZ. I BLAME MYSELF. I SHOULD’VE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO LET A NIGGA WITH A HIDDEN AGENDA AND ABSOLUTELY NO MANAGERIAL EXPERIENCE SPEARHEAD MY CAREER. YALL HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR 7YEARS…..THE INTEGRITY OF MY BRAND IS TOO PRECIOUS TO BE COMPROMISED. NIGGAS VIOLATED. SO I MADE THE PERSONAL DECISION NOT TO SUPPORT THIS…..YALL DESERVE MY BEST. WHAT I LOOK LIKE, CHATTEL? I’VE NEVER TAKEN DISRESPECT FROM DEF JAM, I’M GONNA BE SUBJECTED TO IT FROM KOCH???? OF ALL PLACES??? NEVER.
I’M SUPRISED AT ALOT OF YALL THOUGH…… EVEN INSINUATING I WOULD RELEASE SOME BULLSHIT LIKE THIS IS AN INSULT. I’M FAR TOO INTELLIGENT TO ACCEPT FAILURE; SO I SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. NO RADIO, VIDEO, PRESS, NOTHING. AND PURPOSELY STAYED LOW. WHEN HAVE I EVER DROPPED AN ALBUM AND IT NOT BE AN EVENT? TRUST ME, I POP WAY TOO MUCH SHIT ON RECORDS NOT TO SELF-PROMOTE. MY MIXTAPE CD IS OF THE SAME PEDIGREE AS HOMEGIRL’S MS. G.O.A.T, AND BODIES THAT BULLSHIT IN COMPARISON! I LUV YALL, BUT DON’T NEED THE FICKLE ONES. SO IF ANYBODY CAN HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COMPLAIN ON A SITUATION WHERE I HAD NO CONTROL, YALL CAN BE THE FUCK GONE. I LOST ALL MY HEARING. JUST BEING ABLE TO PICK UP THE MIC AGAIN IS A MIRACLE. I WENT TO JAIL FOR 8MONTHS. EMERGED IN MY RIGHT MIND. I STRIVE FOR SELF-IMPROVEMENT EVERYDAY; MY MATURATION IS A JOURNEY. MY LIFE IS A BLESSING. I’VE MADE SOME MISTAKES, TOOK A FEW L’S, AND CRIED MANY TEARS. BUT GOD GOT HIS HAND ON ME. THAT’S WHY THEM PILLS COULDN’T KILL ME, CAR CRASH WOULDN’T KILL ME, AND JAIL DIDN’T KILL ME. I WAS CHOSEN. APPRECIATE ME WHILE I’M HERE.
