Transcript

If you ever like break your legs and fingers, what color will you glow? What? My leg, what does that even, I don't even know what that, what that means. Like a glow stick, you ever like break a glow stick and then it it glows a certain color? I'd probably be red. Red. Yeah, cuz I'm a fucking villain, yeah. Wow. Now for all the people watching who have jobs, can you explain what that means for them? Um, fuck. Basically, I had this like beef with Clav or whatever. Oh. Which, I mean, it wasn't even like a beef, it was like a small moment, but people made it up to something it wasn't. And I was like, you know what, I'm the fucking villain. Like, if you think Clav's bad, like, you're you're going to see what I'm going to do. You know, in order to one up Clav, you got to drop the hard R. That's not something I've actually done. And I'm probably, I don't really plan on doing it, yeah. Well then, how are you going to be more of a villain than Clav then? Um, there, I mean, you're going to have to watch and see to be honest. Like, you'll figure it out. I mean, why do you think I got that nickname? Yeah, but you just decided to call yourself that, right? Yeah. Yeah. So, what I mean, people can take that any way they want. Like, sometimes you can look at someone and just know, like, look at the jacket I'm wearing. Do I look like a fucking villain? I scared you. I scare everyone I collab with and that's why I say it. It's all part of a big story. Like, this is all strategic.
