"I’m growing. I’m watching Kevin Gates grow. He’s growing. I’m proud of it. He’s starting to not make excuses. He’s starting to hold himself accountable. I’m proud of him. It took a little longer than it took for most people. Women mature faster than men, but I’m proud of him," he said. "... He came from nothing. Everybody talked about him. He was fat at one time. He’s been everything you can be."
