The OG Mr. Put that shit on
That was a real ass podcast that needed to be had. I'm proud of you cuz ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ But God
Iβm glad you finally made it out I felt so sorry for your Mother everybody coming home but you
Fire interview. I didn't really know about Danza much but I seen a few interviews and he not on any type of funny shit like a lot of these interviewers. he grounded and asks great questions and also makes the guest comfortable to speak on real shit. was waiting to hear from Yak and you did a great job. Easy subscribe.
I think he should start mentoring young boys because he seem like his head in the right place now
Yak will you marry me?
yak is a snitch
I thought he told the entire story πππ nigga had oxtail plates and a 6pc mild lemon pepper combo man stop playing games
Thug wack, he could've kept everyone together. Let his ego get in the way off some pleas that did nothing, and only woody took the stand.
Yak you broke, no spiiritual advsor can save you, get on make your way now , start your second life. Danza what you reppin? ARE YOU COO PROFFITING on pain?a Tell yourself its ok.
I lose interest quick in these ngas talkin about how they was feeling in jail π₯± this for them yns to listen to that donβt care about the horrible decisions they make to ruin their lives and the ones around them lives, at the end of the day treat others how you want to be treated, with respect, understand you need to relearn and reprogram your mind to understand that us blacks are doing exactly what our adversaries want us to do be selfish and separated idealistically and spiritually disconnected from one another, to where a young black boy would switched down another young black boy all for clout, lost and wicked, ngas gotta wake up
Is this dude that was eating in the interrogation room?
Damn u a boring ass interviewer bruh gotttt dayum respectfully but u jus rambling gang not sayin nun like u scared to ask shyt ask that man wat u wanna ask that man or donβt interview nbs
Ms. Tasha did an excellent job with this man. Listening to him speak you can tell he came from a strong faith based family.
Is his right side of the face swelling ? Hope he is ok..keep the faith
Snitching komes with the territory if you know you know, and the only reason that they all still rise,they're infested, I 10 to 1 type shi, its to much talking and not enough action, times as change drastically frfr da world as turn to the snitches for answers π― π€§ π΄ dem fuck ninjas is deep (separately)…..
And another thing about rice street,its sad to say but
its ran by blks and you know blk folks do strange things fa a piece of change trust me i did time on all floors in rice frfr,and im from miami and been getting locked up as jit days,but rice st is different frfr
How he beat a case but got probation?
I think yall should stop subliminal dissing other platforms just do yo Thang and thr product speaks for itself… saying its not like these other platforms is shady
I love you Yak! Been praying for you nephew β€β€β€
So happy he is FINALLY home!!β€
This is a great, in depth and personal interview. Yak seems to be a very intelligent guy that has kept a positive attitude during the whole trial and even while he was still locked up on that bullshit warrant. Congrats Yak Gotti, looking forward to new music from you.
I pray for him – hoping that everything works out for the best. He seems hella wise from this situation.
Yak a real one
Shouldβve asked about RHQ
I just love black men! Glad to see everything come to fruition for Yak! π«ΆπΎ
Thug worry about gunner ok! Stop the BS ok) thug gotta watch his words nigga he on probation smh. Thug is the goat still!!! Thug gone always be a big dog!!
May God continue to bless you and keep you safe, Yak!!! You deserve the world!!! πππΎ

The realist interview i seen
He sounds jus like gunnaπ
If thug didn't take a plea the trial would've never ended

Yak dodged all the bait… Danza has a way of fishing for drama while tryna disguise himself as this big brother tryna have a talk…shout-out to yak for being smart in his answers
