When I lived in Houston I ran into bun b at this bar. We ended up talking for like 20min about our favorite food trucks in Houston (he was only there to pick up some food from his favorite food truck that took over the bar's kitchen that night).

The universe has it out for me on some "Stranger than fiction" shyt.
Either that or God loves to put me in silly situations so he can have a laugh. I live a pretty boring, mundane life so it's like my chance encounters are ramped up when I do break away from the norm and look to entertain myself.
Too many to name, used to work at Philly airport back in 2012-2014
Coolest was Wale. Despite his reputation, dude was mad regular and we chopped it up.
Kelly Rowland was super nice and took pictures and autographs with anybody who asked.
Kris Jenner used to be in Philly all the time, she must got business there... Saw Khloe and Kim multiple times with her.
Nas came thru and i froze lmao. He had a bodyguard and I aint want to get too close, so I just watched from far away. Swag was on a trillion.
Craziest shyt was Louis Farrakhan. Some real gangsta shyt.
He had a whole militia with him. I look outside, and all I see is 10 Black Suburbans pull up. A Sea of men in suites, escorting Farrakhan to his flight.
He walked by and waved and smiled at everybody... crazy

I have met a few rappers but the craziest experience I saw was back in 2006/2007.
There was a funk master flex car show in Jersey. A few rappers were there including Dipset. They had their own booth were fans would come for photos, autographs, etc. you get the drift.
This dude removes a burnt cd (I think the album was Diplomatic Immunity) and gives it to Jim Jones to sign it. Jimmy takes the cd, folds it into two till it breaks, and hits the dude with it.
I bet cam was like

Real cool dude, but I'm not gonna lie though. I was expecting for him to be on some
shyt (considering he's from Nassau County). But nah, he turned out to be a real cool cat. He's deep into that holistic lifestyle stuff

I usually give celebs no attention, just a head nod, dap or such and keep it pushin. I met quite a few when I lived in ATL.
Went on a cruise with wife and friends and Kwame from polka dots age was a member of the crew.
He was quiet and a lil standoffish. The most convo we had was when we got on marvel movies. He's a big fan of hulk and just comic books period. I asked him a lil about music and he said he still produces. His girl was pretty top notch.

I met a lot of celebs in random places. way too many to name Here are couple interesting one's I encountered.
Marcus Smart(celtics): I met him at a hospital, can't give the full story because of HIPPA, let's just say he was visiting a family member.
Emmitt Smith: At walmart, he was real dicc and went off on this lady asking for a pic, he was with a older dude who exactly like him, had to be his brother or uncle. But he was right in front of me at the self check out. I talked with him about the redskins/cowboys rivalry.
A bunch of Nolimit artists: I went to a couple of their concerts during their 97-99 run and would be backstage. My brother was a street team promotions coordinator, I was shocked on how tall MAC & C-murder were, and Mercedes was fine as fukk!!!! I saw C-murder curse out Boz too.
I met plenty of athletes but the most interesting ironically was Shawn Marion:
At the time he played for the mavs, this was the summer after they won the championship. He was sitting in the chair next me getting his haircut. He seemed approachable so I just started asking him questions, I asked him about how was it going against lebron. He told me the heat, especially lebron was talking mad shyt after they went up 0-2, but he said when they started coming back in the series, him, deshawn(stevenson, and Jason(terry), talked mad shyt back to lebron & said lebron was soft..
Also whats crazy is the guy cutting my hair was the "loud mouth barber" and he said Lebron wasn't better than Jordan, and Shawn was like he was tired of people disrespecting Kobe and said Lebron wasn't better than him. He(shawn) definitely felt some way about lebron even though the mavs won, ironically they became teammates when lebron went back to CLE...
I just think at the time when Dallas beat them, Lebron was not league wide respected the way he is now, and even now you never know how certain guys feel. Lebron had to learn to be a Alpha versus guys from his era like AI, KG, and Kobe.
