“I went down, so people were like, ‘Why did you shoot at him?’ I’m like, ‘nah, I was already down there. I just just fell into it. ‘So I shot and he was capitalizing on it, and that was a mistake I had made. I f*cking slid right on a banana paint and sh*t happens like that. I felt like I lost a super bowl. “
