“One hot summer day, When I was six years old, it was 8 AM and it was me and my sister’s dad were listening to Drake and Future’s classic song ‘Girls love me’. He had fallen asleep on the wheel, the car hit the curb and flipped about three to four times. I woke up and I was hanging upside down. They had to break open the window, took me out and I had to get stitches on my eyebrow.”
