“The coming home situation and shit I know a lot of people wanna know about that and shit,” he explained. “A lot of people think it’s over, on hood, it’s not. My case on appeal right now, so that’s looking good, you know. There’s still hope and shit, you know, there’s definitely still a chance for me to come home on an appeal bond.”
