Personal Saturday for 8-25-12
Hey #TeamBankrollSquad,
I just want to honestly say thank you. Thank you for rocking with me when they said a hurricane was coming. Thank you for continuing to walk with me when they told us the flood was on the way. Thank you for flying with me when they said that the plane wasn't going to make it. Thank you for riding with me when they said the bus wasn't safe and that it would get bombed. Thank you for traveling with me from our land of peace to their war zones. Thank you for representing the same way you said you would when you were untested.
As far as this whole "child molestation" crap- that is obviously not true. No one molests children in this camp. Also, no one molests children and does under 10 years for it. The rumors circulated from my federal preliminary reports- which I know a lot of people may not be familiar with. The FEDS have to come with trumped up charges and accusations in order to ensure that you plead out to something. They have to stack the deck... They have to because by the time they come with their indictments, too many federal informant's names have been mentioned for me to walk away scott free. They HAVE to use the methods they use in order to convict- and have been doing this for many years.
In my case, I was a young pimp- and I'd become one after being homeless on the streets of Houston Texas at the age of 20. I'd been pursuing music and things just didn't work out in my favor. So from being homeless on those disgusting streets, a prostitute saved me. Although she left me the next day, she told me that the game had chosen me for a reason-and that I should respect it's rules as it has picked me up when no one else would. She told me that lawyers had drove by and seen me homeless, cops had driven by and seen me homeless, store managers had also seen this and none of them had reached out except for her- and that there was a reason for it.
So from 2003 to 2007 I lived that life all across the nation. In 2006, when I was in Atlanta GA; I met this female who told me she was 18 going on 19. She had tattoos on her face, shoulder, thighs, and back. She had one on her back that said "Mr. One Way." She had two teardrops tatted on her face. She had one on her shoulder that said "RIP" and it was dedicated to one of her "homegirls, that she'd just lost in the streets." She said her name was Teardrop and that her real name was Ida Campbell and she worked at Hooters. She told me that she had been in the pimp/ho lifestyle before, but she was about to change her ways- she said she was about to step her game up and go to a strip club. I said "cool, that's what's up..." After she worked at Club XTC on Piedmont Road in Atlanta for about 2 weeks, she called me up. Her exact words to me was: "This strip club money ain't shit."
She took the bus to where I was and joined my team, and then we traveled getting money for about a month. She rented her own rooms, using her own ID, I never thought anything was wrong- but my focus was in the streets anyway, not on any one person. During that month, the FBI did a raid in Washington D.C. and photo-copied the IDs of all of my peoples. At the time everyone checked out, no one had warrants, no one had any problems. But after this "Teardrop" left, a year later; the real teardrops came. The Feds had indicted me and told me that this woman was not who she told me she was. They told me she was underaged and that I would have to go down for it. My thing back then was... man, nobody's going to believe me... But I was wrong... the FBI themselves believed my story, and stated that they did because everything that I told them checked out.
They'd already sent that press release out so it was no retrieving that, but they still wanted me to do the time because the crime actually happened. So today I'm a rso, and there was no way around it. I'm not a predator, I don't wear an ankle monitor, I don't have a curfew, I'm just a rso because I committed a federal sex crime- pimping. This was not about sex, but all about money. I'd made that video back in 2006 right before the player's ball in D.C.
The same way I rep TeamBankrollSquad today, the same way I could make a Facebook post that would entertain, interest, enlighten and inspire-- --I was doing the same thing on Myspace, but for the pimp community. And I was getting wayyy more comments and responses then than I was now. I was one of the youngest ones in the game who was actually living that life, and the older circuit of guys pushed me along and wanted me to be a multi-millionaire off of the streets.
I never had any issues in prison, because there were pimps in there with ties to the streets. The streets told my stories to the pimps in the prisons, and that was that. That lifestyle is an unspoken lifestyle. It isn't something to bring up at a social gathering. It's not something to talk about unless you're speaking to the people involved with it. I started writing because Donald Goines was also in my profession and turned his life around. I started writing because Malcolm X was also in my profession and turned his life around. I started writing because I have a beautiful daughter who I would never want exposed to the harshness that I lived.
My story is delicate, and I didn't want it told because I'm still suffering from it. So that's why I haven't told it. I gave you all a glimpse into it with this excerpt... but as far as the entire story, the underworld would kill me if I told it. I was offered major dollars to do a street documentary when I get home, but I turned it down. So that was a slap in the face of all of the pimps who helped arrange my offer. They were like "you've been solid, you did your time and took no other pimps down- you deserve this to get back on your feet."
And still I declined. I told them that I had a better way to get back on my feet. I said that because I knew that after the documentary, I would have to get back to that life.
From everything that I lived, the one fact that always remained true was that women were the most genuine people on this planet. Before prison, I had real ride or die love, during prison I had real ride or die love, and thus that's why I write about it today with such great detail. I never said that pimping was something to salute, but I've always said that there is no greater woman than a ride or die woman. And in that game back then, that's the only place I thought I would ever find women who were ride or die and ready to prove it.
That's why I've been so in love with #TeamBankrollSquad. They allowed me to change my life- and at the same time, they allowed me to see how it feels to be in love with positive women. They showed me respect, taught me how to receive it; and by example, they also taught me how to give it. They showed me that ride or die women did not have to break the law to prove it.
#TBRS has shown me nothing but love, and I have shown them nothing but love in return. ---The rumors and lies and exaggerations are just that... I just told you the truth so help me GOD.
If you choose not to support me because of my past, then I understand that. You have that right. But as far as my authors, I don't see any reason to punish them because of my past. By punishing them, you're affecting many families at the same time. And if you say you're not going to support me, say that and leave it alone- and I won't release any more books ever again.
Thank you immensely to the people who didn't turn their back on me. I have screenshots of people who turned their backs on me without even getting the real story. I have screenshots of former "friends," and people who I used to chat with all the time on FB, who have their own "personal" problems with me and have used this melee as their free-all. I mean, some of these people were people who got angry if it took me more than 2 hours to respond to a text message- so I understand the fact that they will hate me for life; and for no other reason other than I made myself completely unavailable to them.
I've only been out 1 year now, but with people calling in to the FBI branch of Atl with their complaints, and my po catching wind of this- I don't know how much longer I'll be free. I guess it feels good to some people just knowing that they had a hand in knocking me down, and I can only guess the emotions of the people who once claimed that they were there for me---- as they bad mouth, down talk me; and curse me and my existence. But one thing is for certain.... We (#TBRS) will NOT lose.
