Till after I said it. So the guy came to me, he's like, man, I can't believe you said that. They— the first of all, the gays be writing emails. They sat in that audience, they were like, no, dog. Wow. Pissed. They was upset. They sent all these emails and letters. And so I went to the promoter. I said, hey man, I said, I said, the last thing I want to do is make somebody uncomfortable. I said, if you would allow me, I'll donate my service. I'll come back next year for free. I'll cover my own dime. I'll get here. And he was like, wow. And Monique was like, yo, that's why I fuck with you. You took accountability and you, you went out on a limb on your own. She said, Rodney Perry, I got your back. And that was, that was the beginning of us rocking. Life is too short, bitch. Now turn that corner. Real player, real player, dream chaser.
