But the Coke Boy isn’t worried, though. He’s confident he’ll make millions of dollars over at the house that Diddy built. Read some excerpts from the interview below.
On Saying He’d Never Sign Under A Rapper:
[Diddy] is a billionaire. Let me brush shoulders up with a billionaire. Let me make a quick 300-500 million. If you’re smart enough, you might make more than that. I don’t look at Puff as a rapper. I look at him as a brand. He’s gonna guide me in the right way, let me know where the money’s at. He’s got time. He’s hands on with everything. He be on top of everything all the time. I felt comfortable. I just felt comfortable and didn’t care what people were saying.
On Kanye:
