Joey Badass

So they had to kind of kill the character or was that literally part of how it was supposed to go?

So by the time, you know, you've seen it on TV and you're watching it.

We already understood where we was going with it.

You know what I'm saying?

So it was already worked out in the background that I was coming back.

Nobody else knew it except for me and the showrunner.

You know what I'm saying?

But what had happened was I opted out.

I was like, you know what, because I had a schedule conflict with my tour when I dropped 2000.

Okay.

And the shooting schedule for Canaan.

I was trying to make both work.

There was no way to do both.

So I was basically like, you know what, yo, y'all could kill me off.

Season three, I wasn't planning to be here that long because I didn't want to get, you know, pigeonholed into no character.

You know what I'm saying?

I didn't want to stay in, you know what I mean?

So fuck it, you know.

And, you know, they didn't want to let me go.

They, like, it was kind of devastating.
