I GOT OFFERED $100 MILLION BY LARRY JACKSON TO PUT DONDA ON APPLE, BUT I AIN’T NEVER GOT A MEETING WITH TIM COOK. SO IT AIN’T ABOUT THE MONEY, IT’S ABOUT OUR POWER AND OUT RESPECT COLLECTIVELY. SO I BE SAYING STUFF THAT PEOPLE TRY TO REMIND ME IN BLACK HISTORY MONTH THAT PEOPLE GOT KILLED FOR. BUT THIS IS BLACK FUTURE MONTH,”.
