| On Meek Mill’s comments about lace fronts | I heard that Meek Mill said he was tired of girls wearing lace-front [wig]s. He can clearly see the lace and that is clearly not a look. Basically, he’s just had a bad experience with girls and seeing all the lace. I don’t think that [lace fronts are] all that. I personally can’t say that I’ve seen a good lace front, but he’s messing around with people with money. I’m sure there are some good lace fronts out there, but I haven’t witnessed it. I don’t think it’s a big deal that he made a comment on it, because girls always say, ‘Oh, I like guys who have their hairs like this. Don’t come near me if your dreads aren’t twisted right or if your hairline is not right.’ I feel like girls comment on stuff like that too, so it’s not that big of a deal. It’s just hair.

On the Government shutdown and Donald Trump serving hamburgers to the Clemson Football team |
Pretty much, Trump is asking for a lot of money to build something big that’s probably not going to make a huge difference or [be] something that the country really needs. I think it’s a little ridiculous from the president. Also, because of the government shut down, Clemson went to the White House and [the president] gave them a thousand hamburgers. He specifically said he paid for all the hamburgers.

| On Kevin Hart’s old tweets | From my understanding, Kevin Hart tweeted some homophobic things from the past and he has acknowledged that but people keep bringing it back [up]. I don’t really get it because humor back then was a little bit more expansive. So I understand that he tweeted something with the intentions of being funny, not really homophobic, but even if he was like that in the past he has grown. I understand why he would apologize for it because right now it’s interpreted as something horrible, but back then it wasn’t seen as that.
