DISCLAIMER: Keeping it 100.
Keeping it 100.
As easy as it may seem to some, most find that hard to do. You can claim to be the realest; you can claim to always be honest. But actions speak louder than words. This past week you guys may have caught the ‘epic’ performance of Nike Nando’s “Slow”, which featured myself. For the record, all of that was for show. Nando is my homeboy and that’s all there is to it. I have someone else in mind and heart to fill those thoughts that allow me to write those lyrics. The idea of performing the song was cool, although I hesitated at first. I guess that’s why they say always going with your first instinct is your best bet. I knew it wasn’t going to be a grand idea in the end. Yes, it bought me publicity and more supporters of my music. But, I didn’t want to get either of those by hurting the ones that I love. I’ve only been in this craft for two going on three years. I honestly didn’t expect to be where I am today this quickly. Don’t get me wrong I am thankful. It just kind of caught me at surprise. Somewhere down the line it seems as though I got greedy. Yes, I wanted more fans and supporters from the District. But did I really have to go to that extreme? Would you have gone to that extreme? Its not the fact that I displayed such acts but more so the fact that I didn’t ‘keep it 100’ with my boyfriend at the time. I admit it was pretty foul of me and not like me at all. Ask anyone that knows me personally. I misrepresented myself as an artist and as a person. Like I stated before I don’t want to gain fame by hurting the ones I love. It’s not worth it in the end. I’m just glad to be learning this now versus somewhere in the future. This disclaimer might lose me some fans or supporters or even followers on Twitter. People come and go, so it doesn’t really faze me. They’re not determining my life. In the end all I wanted to do was just be real with you guys and ‘keep it 100’. I hurt one of the few people that I love the most – and possibly “the one” - due to greediness. Hell, most people won’t even find “that one” in a lifetime. So I have to set things straight. I misrepresented myself and I thought irrationally. “This might offend my political connects,” but it had to be said.
