[1] He also talks about how his fans have been telling him on social media to get revenge on the people who killed the two and praying to God to help better his situation: "Mornin' time I get on my knees, I pray to Allah / Forgive me for the shit that I did / Let me get closer to my kids / Can you protect all my friends?"
