After the infamous event, Fabolous spoke out and said: “From the video point, it looks crazy. I’m not trying to excuse myself, it was really more of, like, an internal thing with us going through the motion of what was happening.
“Our emotions and a lot of things that was building up with our relationship and our family…I apologize for coming across in a light that I wouldn’t want to be represented in.
“People make their opinions and it’s hard to, after the fact, change somebody’s opinion on seeing a video of something because people still see with their own eyes and they just make their own judgment.”
