Yayo Interview

Postby SPEEDY » Sep 20th, '05, 12:14

In a recent interview with Associated Press Tony Yayo talked about jail, kids and G-Unit.

AP: So you went to prison, and now you're touring the world with 50 Cent is there anything you'd do over in life?

Yayo: One thing I would like to do over in life is be able to see my baby born, Maniyah. She's everything to me, my first. That makes me want to have another one.

AP: What was your childhood like?

Yayo: I had a good upbringing. I'm the youngest, I got an older brother and older sister. My father left when I was 16. When you're younger, you don't understand stuff like that. As I got older, I understood they didn't like each other anymore. My mother did most of the working. She was a nurse's aide and turned into a registered nurse.

AP: What did you learn from jail?

Yayo: When you're in tight situations, you see who your true friends are. Three things: When you're on your death bed, when you're broke, or when you're in jail, you see who your true friends and family are. A true friend shouldn't care about the money situation. They should try to help you. When you're dying, everybody comes to see you, if they love you. When you're in jail, it's like, "You know, if you can't come see me, write me a letter."

AP: How is G-Unit handling Eminem's exit from the tour because of an addiction to sleep medication?

Yayo: It's kind of a big deal. Nobody's mad at him, we just understand where he's coming from. He's exhausted. I understand how it is when you miss family, too. Hopefully he'll get better and he'll change his mind and come back on the road.

AP: Outside of the money, is going on tour worth it?

Yayo: I think it's worth it. You know why? Because the money and all the profits we make, it helps our family, it gives them shelter, it takes them to college. And it's better than being in the 'hood. I don't want to be in the 'hood.


:D Glad 2 see they not mad at em :D
