“Stuff doesn’t age well and that didn’t age well for me,” he continued. “I don’t need to be flexing four rings, bro. Everybody knows that, that’s on Wikipedia. My game wasn’t where it was at and we all get insecure at times. I’m man enough to admit that. We all have our moments of weakness.

“I’m not really proud of that one ’cause I see Devin Booker and I should be, like, ‘I should be proud of this young man, the work he’s put in.’”
