And so there were these rumors and just feeling paralyzed, like frozen. And and not having a lot of friends in middle school. And that kind of lasted for like a year and a half of like, yes, rumors, but these girls were pretty ruthless. Like they would take socks and put golf balls in them and beat girls with them.

Yeah, there's a lot of physical threat, like meet me at Taco Bell after school. I mean, it was a daily thing. And at that time, on top of that, my family was all going through, my entire family was going through a spiritual awakening at the same time through struggle. Mine was through this, starting to question everything. But I just remember feeling alone, suicidal, scared.

It was the first time I was trying on different identities in my life of like, am I the rapper, the skater? Where do I belong? Where do I fit?

I think I was spiritually connected before that and trying to play in the physical world. Like I was, life just presented me with opportunities to really question my identity and all of that. And so anyway, I just remember feeling frozen and you know, this being so long for having a year and a half, it left a deep impact in my nervous system, my consciousness and

I remember one time I was, the girls were, they had vandalized my house and then they called me often just to threaten me. I think it was like a Friday night. They were having a party. They called me and were threatening to beat me up. And my brother in the other room was so tired of hearing it. He took the phone. He's like, 1017, this is our court name. My sister's going to fight you. Bye.

Hung up. And I was like... what? I was so scared because for one, these were 30 girls and he didn't realize that. And so I was like, what did you just do? And he, for like 30 minutes, talked me up and I was like, okay, I don't have a choice anymore. I need to face my fear. I need to face the bully. And it was the first time somebody helped me stand up for myself because nothing else was working.
