Allen told a story about a time when he, his girlfriend and his child were out in L.A. when a group of people followed them. He said in the interview that robbery attempts on rappers are becoming common, but he had not been robbed.
“I never got robbed. Never in my life. I ain’t gon’ say never because I don’t like saying never… I’m not superstitious or nothing like that… but I haven’t been robbed,” he said.
Allen said he has been more careful since his brother was killed. He avoided places like nightclubs and strip clubs, instead going places where he would be less likely to put himself at risk.
“I’m not going to put myself in those situations because I know what happens in those situations,” he said
