"I learned that not all money is good money. Like, I can't, like, a lot of the times, there's going to be times and opportunities where you're going to want to get money to do certain things that you wouldn't normally be able to do. Like, 2023, my first Mafiathon ever, I was offered, like, $60 million. $60 million to do, like, s**t that I did not like. Gambling and stuff like that. I didn't take it because I knew it would mess me up. I knew it would make me lose focus on what I got going on right now."
