“It’s so funny when I jump in cabs. I know the driver sees this 6″5 black guy and thinks if this guy decides to bump me what am I gonna do.”
“I’m 6″5 and trust me when I tell you life’s different when you’re this tall…straight showers because I’m too big for the bath and thing.”
He Was A Good Student And A Reader…
“I was a very naughty child, on the verge of getting expelled, but I wasn’t a bad child; everything I did was for my own entertainment. But when I went into an exam, I did really well.”
