Sorry for this yap session by the way, I'm very, just, grateful... The fact that people like that are believing in you, it's like, bro, you know? That text right there just gave me more motivation to wanna do more, and more, and more."Meanwhile, IShowSpeed was recently left upset after a fan seemingly sold a green apple signed by him during his IRL tour on eBay just a day after he originally signed it.
