How did you know this? That's crazy because her son told me something similar to that. He told me they never really speak because she's crazy or something

 

[85 East]

I make music here in Toronto. Kept seeing her online calling out white people one day, then calling rappers thugs the next. Always chasing ambulances and trying to make any black teens murder about her. She would threaten me and others that she knew police and send them after me. I told her to f-Herself and enjoy her trip back home to Nigeria where she is not liked at all...Google her name man. She's a wild one. Apparently her dad was some high ranking official. Possible corruption or something. Don't know how she was always around Drake though...And she was trying to get her 8 year old son to be a rapper.
