5. He’s always on edge. “Going through sh*t like bullets flying, it’ll f*ck you up a little bit. It triggers something else in you. This fame sh*t is new to me. Being in rooms where you don’t have to worry about sh*t, I don’t get that side of life yet. I’ll be in the room with millionaires and billionaires and still be like, ‘What’s going on? Who’s that at the door?'” he told Rolling Stone.
