I never knew about that. Looking back, I think he wanted to keep it from me.”‏ﱞ@1cowtoolsHi I knew awake the rapper/ Robert / Bobby Crimo. We used to make music together around 2015-18. He’s not antifa, he’s not some maga overlord. I know that shit sounds really interesting. But it’s not the truth. He was an isolated stoner who completely lost touch with reality. 1/282012075Hi I knew awake the rapper/ Robert / Bobby Crimo. We used to make music together around 2015-18.

I was like ‘But I don’t date. I can’t date.”According to Marca, however, Crimo and Amy only drifted apart after he told her about his aspirations to open a deli. Amy said that Crimo eventually revealed to her that the only reason he did not pursue this dream was that he wanted to spend time with her. She claimed that as a result, he stayed at Panera.Andy Ngô 🏳️‍🌈@MrAndyNgoBREAKING: Robert "Bobby" Crimo III has been identified as the person of interest in the deadly mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois (near Chicago).
