He also made a pointed remark about Shara Bullet’s eye condition, implying that he might not be seeing things clearly.
“My man you got one eye on the ceiling and the other at the TV, you not seeing the same DDP as the rest of us. Guys are out here losing fights, nowhere near contending and talking smack.”
