like twenty fifteen. That's like reallyreally, you know, a long time
ago. But you know, yeah, Sierra, she pretty much was bitter,

(06:03):
I guess, and she had peoplecome into my page or whatever.
She made a song I bet orwhatever, and she was like with silicone
ass, resilient hair or whatever.And I just felt like, well,

(06:23):
you know, you don't know meat the end of the day, so
I feel like she shouldn't have camefor me, you know, I felt
like she should have directed that towardsher, you know, companion or whatever
that was about. But I guessbecause I was the first person to be
seen with him publicly since their breakup, you know, and they were like

(06:46):
done. So why do you thinkshe's mad at you if they were done
already. I don't know, that'sthe thing, because I know they for
sure they weren't together or whatever.I get it. And you feel confident,
like the song I bet was aboutyou. Yeah, well, she
actually was sending people to my page. I had to shut my page down.

(07:12):
Yeah, I had like put iton private. But yeah, she
was sending people out because I didn'teven know nothing about the song or whatever,
or don't like really too much,you know, tune in or listen
to her music. So yeah,she like sent the scent like all her
little fan base or whatever to mypage. And then I put two and

(07:35):
two together, you know what Imean? Yeah, I get it.
