I was so scared I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t know what to do. While many people were using Rushawn, my melody and lyrics, selling it online and no respect.
I fought for my intellectual property, and in return, I fought for Rushawn.
The same way his voice was tied to my lyrics and melody. He is now the little brother or son I never had.
Thank God for this weird moment that not even labels could understand what is happening”.
