“Why do we act in this way? Why the heck do we do this? I promise to God… I’m done rapping,” he declared as tears streamed down his face.
This version of me, it’s done,” he said, pointing to his plaques on the wall. It’s finished. It’s over now that you wanted it to. Takeoff was slain by you guys.
Desiigner honored Takeoff and the other rap martyrs in the tragic music video. “This is it. This is not how I can live any longer. Adieu, [PnB] Rock.
Black people (rappers) always complain their lives matter yet they be shooting each other🖕
