For anyone thinking it’s a big deal about how he says it’s needs to actually click the link and listen to that part of the interview. In no way does it sound like it’s beef with meth…

I think the bolded is why you may feel that way.

The older I get, the less I hang with my friends and I'm only in my early 30s. I guess a good way to gauge if your friends don't really fukk with you specifically is to see if they're all hanging out with each other and leaving you hanging. But if you notice the entire friend group not hanging around anymore or hanging with other people you don't know, it's often a proximity thing.

people def pick and choose who to apply that "life is lifing" ish to. i seem to be the only one everybody talks to on a regular basis so i see it first hand. they be asking me, "how's the homie".
babies be reaching for me, but start acting scary at the other friends because this is the first time meeting them
yikes.
maybe it's just something about me though, cuz they all don't keep in very close touch with each other for some reason. idk

Just throwing my 2 cents in maybe after the whole antivax stance Red had created some distance, speaking from personal experience lots of people after the pandemic been radicalized, Red refused to vaccinate to return to the Power show Meth did. Maybe just maybe this did it. I had a close friend I met freshman year of college, on this dumb shyt started using internet /Twitter terms in real life. Got suspended from work when he couldn't return to the office , Dude even got divorced cause his wife vaxxed his kids after one of them got sick real bad. SMH. As you get older people change and cracks start to steep into friendships. And dude was normal I even remember getting flu shots and vaccines with dude back in college.

There’s also putting yourself in the mix and making yourself present. People get busy and life will pass you by if you aren’t making an effort to be in with people. I see it firsthand with my blood brother. We’re two years apart so always had pretty much the same circle of friends. But I choose to get to know their kids, ask about broader things in their life etc.

you won’t always get left behind on purpose but you can at least do your part to say you tried

These guys are 50, don't live near each other, have families, have their own business ventures, and people think they hang out like college buddies. Older people tend to spend more time at home and I'd imagine famous older people don't really like being out too much.

Most of these rappers y'all think are friends are more business associates.

Well I can't speak on your situation as I don't know the specifics.

I'm telling you "they're not f*cking with me" isn't necessarily a factor though.

These guys gave me a place to live when I was homeless as a teen. We'd put together enough money to get a hamburger from McDonald's, and split that sh*t.

If we had food, everybody ate. We literally gave each other the clothes off our backs, in some cases.

So this is a level of loyalty most people do not see, or experience.

I'm telling you cats do not have time like we did, back then. Some of us work completely different schedules. Some gotta go pick their kids up. Some gotta deal with sick family members, their mom, whatever.

Hell, I like to walk. Yesterday I walked 10 miles. None of them cats are gonna do that. :mjlol:

Nor do I expect them to. I don't care about sports, a couple of them went out of town to watch a Chiefs game. I like to read....are they gonna sit here and watch me read? :mjlol:

The love and loyalty is there but the time isn't. It's as simple as that. I went and seen "Infinity War" day 1 with one of these cats....he literally had to stay up 24 hours to make it happen. Due to his schedule being f*cked up. If that's what we gotta do to see each other I'd rather just text. We're old now.

Kinda random but I swear years ago I read someone say you were in a wheelchair. I wondered if that was true or not. Glad to finally have confirmation that your legs work :mjlol:

It's not like they grew up together. Them nikkas were grown ass men when they met, and were put together by Def Jam as a promotional tool because they both had ",Man" in their names. It's probably always just been a business relationship from the jump :yeshrug:

absolutely. I actually had to learn how to be a good friend. this thread is actually making me cry because i am thinking about how i was a trash friend as a kid. i moved around a few times so you know how that goes. at first I just accepted whoever first comes along as a friend. then the cool kids want to come around so I go with them just to say i am cool too. then the first friends come back and be like "you ditched us".... this actually happened twice. like, i was literally a fukkin movie character as a kid (chick from mean girls) and it's very upsetting to look back on. i was so misguided and it hurts to know that i hurt others and myself cuz they were actually cool people looking back, even if they weren't in the cool crowd.

so i am proud of how far i have come with friendships. these are the people i actually chose as friends as an adult so i am glad to do my part to foster the relationship. and it pays off cuz they keep me close too. it also seems to be that way with my fam too. my parents always tell me i am the one keeping the fam together, by texting, calling, visiting, having holidays at my home, sharing the wealth, being there in times of need, etc. everybody else barely interacts with each other. its so wild to me, but i know everybody in my fam basically has a very quiet/guarded demeanor (me too) so i try not to think too hard about it lol
