The Brooklyn rapper confesses in the above video…. Off camera, he added, “I kind of stiff-armed my roots for a couple of years. Then my sister told me one day, ‘You know, you act like you’re ashamed of being from home.’ It was like a reality check. I checked myself. I mean, this is years ago, but now I’m at a place where I understand where I’m from. I understand my culture and I’m more proud to be from there than associate with somewhere else.” [Source: MTV]
