Damn he doesnt have a homeboy that could buy Ganja for him. They’re freaking rich, i know he could get a local runner to get it lol….I guess he was trying to prove he’s gangsta but clearly isnt not working for him. I know he was boo hooing when he got locked up, sitting in a cell w/ some real killers.

Young people don’t seem to realize that life is short and this type of thing will follow him the rest of his life. Weed is only the beginning, no one gets “cracked out” over night. Unfortunately, what they say about the Preacher’s Children is true.

jojo u need a slap to turn u back to the dude who cried when his sisters were leaving not no gangster because trust me if u come to Jamaica n act like that u would die right away because the polices were not going catch u n arrest u they would just shoot at the car until u stop . jojo i have never seen u like that before n only one who is illiterate would say that he’s a rapper so he has to make it his life style a good explanation for why u say thatis bcuz u guys are MENTALLY ILL. jojo u need to stop behaving like that bcuz U can ruin the reputation of u n ur family n i’m not a hatter i’m just a knowledgeable thirteen year who LOVE u and ur family so much that she doesn’t want anyone of u to end up in a situation which can cost ur life. suppose the police had shoot u. boy wake up.
