This is great. So glad that Ameer doesn’t have any hatred towards the boys and him and Kevin still talk. I hope everyone involved can fully heal one day. RIP to his pops and sister
For real Sway didn’t hold anything back. Right from the start he got to the controversy and didn’t let up until like 20-25 minutes in. Ameer stayed really composed.
True, but due to the history of family and personal issues he's also a little self-absorbed... From the get-go with questions about sexual assault and emotional abuse, he doesn't express sympathy or understanding for the women but focuses on how crushed he felt and how he wanted to make himself a better person. It's mature and admirable but there's not a strong sense of empathy for negatively affecting other people
when he recited his whole SWAMP verse I was almost tearing up bro, no joke, I was like... "shit, this really is the same guy who was goofing around in BH and making all those amazing songs with his best friends". it just doesn't compute to me and I almost want to separate the two in my head because it seems nearly impossible that someone's life can change so drastically and that he could lose all of his friends and career in a hearbeat like that. shit's fucked up, honestly. for all parties involved, and especially for him.
*Ameer was the reason I stayed locked in to listening to BrockHampton, my favorite artist out the bunch and I appreciate Sway for giving him the spotlight after everything that went on*
David Anderson i think he was getting at it with with his swamp verse at 18:30 “black mask used to kick doors, weren’t no bullets in the gun tho, niggas still never argue, raid the house like a task force”
Sway!!!! Thanks for taking the time to interview my nephew. It's so much that his fans wanted and needed to know. Out of respect for Ameer and Alice, my sister, I couldn't share anything about him. Now, he's sharing what really happened. We are all human, and no one is perfect. So, much respect for you man.
Yeah nah facts but the only issue is that he worries me due to all the previous lies he told and shit but, I give him the benefit of the doubt and believe in him🔥🔥
The fact he sat there while they dissected the situation and listened to the boys he misses the most talk about him then proceed to talk about such big topics is brave. Respect
Only thing Sway missed bringing up is the whole situation about Ameer setting up one of Dom McLennon’s friends to be robbed (which is covered in one of Dom’s deleted tweets and in his verse on “DEARLY DEPARTED”). That’s most likely the biggest thing between Ameer and BH in terms of rebuilding their relationship, and I would have wanted to see Ameer’s perspective on that. Otherwise, great interview
Honestly I feel like this is something they were told not to bring up. No matter what ameer said it would start drama and controversy and it seems like that’s the last thing he wants rn
@@brady5951 Doesn't that imply that he's guilty and is trying to get away with it, while still building a career? Makes him a lot less credible tbh. If the accusation is true then a criminal investigation is required
Ivan Mouraviev how does someone asking for something to not be talked ab imply guilt? It’s all just hypothetical anyways all I was saying was that if he did it was probably because he knew it would start drama and didn’t want that to happen. No evidence has been given for any of the accusations from the women or from Dom, nor have any legal actions been taken.
I respect this dude. It's hard to admit your wrongdoings when you've a spotlight directed towards you, specially nowadays considering how the internet allows people to completely lynch others for their mistakes. I believe he still has a lot to learn. And I do understand the damage that he did to those victims. However I don't think its productive for anybody to not allow him to move on. At the end of the day, Whether we admit it or not, we all did our fair share of stuff that we are not proud of in our lives. I'm in no place to tell the victims how they should deal with this, but from my experience i can tell that honesty, empathy and forgiveness are the only way to heal.
I think the Shana girl was on some freak shit but regretted it so she me too'd him, but I understand with the other girl, he couldn't really argue his way out of that.
I was kinda hoping to hear his thoughts on Ginger and Iridescence after he said he was the biggest Brockhampton fan, but I guess thats for another time
He’s been talking with Kevin too. People need to understand that he’s owning up to his mistakes and growing as a person, and that he can still rekindle his friendships.
@@SOBEKCrocodileGod there's a smaller side of the BH fanbase that split off with ameer and a chuck of the current BH fanbase that will never give Ameer any chance to explain himself. People change and people can reconsile. Wish both sides would come together again
What I hear him saying is...They told him he needed to leave the group and get his shit together & HE said if I leave I’m done with the group....Staying in the group & preforming wasn’t going to get him the help he needed....
WEEJAY DaGREAT yeah I agree. If he could’ve taken a break from the group, gotten the help he needed, and rejoined one/two years later, that would’ve probably been better. Maybe they could’ve been better with communicating that, or helping him get the help.
Remember Dom's verse on "Dearly Departed?" If the stuff Dom says in that verse is true, then Ameer is lying in this interview. Ameer keeps saying he's not trying to mend his relationships with other BH members because "those guys knew me the whole time," but Dom claims that Ameer had something to do with his friend getting robbed early in the band's existence, and that Ameer didn't tell him about this until the abuse allegations came out, which was after the entire Saturation trilogy blew up. One of them has to be lying about whether or not Ameer was honest with his band-mates.
They were trying to make it look like that to Ameer, but his removal was inevitable. No one just says "you need to take a break" obviously the group was gonna develop w/o him in that break period so he obviously wasn't buying that bullshit. The reason why he left first is because no one wanted to talk about it. Its like your employer saying "we're gonna have to let you go" instead of "you're fired", you're obviously going to want to quit at that point
After hearing the allegations, I failed to check in and see what Ameer was up to until now. Glad I watched this whole thing. Hurt people do hurt people, hearing what he had to say about toxic homes, shitty childhoods, losing friends and mental hospitals resonates with me deeply and brought tears to my eyes because I’ve felt the pain of those things too. Keep growing Ameer. I don’t condone his past actions, but he is self aware, talented, and willing to get better. we are all works in progress. ❤️
i really respect ameer after this, he clearly understands what he did wrong, and he has his reasons. he was a product of his environment and was immature and inexperienced but he didn't use that as an excuse and still accepted that what he did was wrong and the he needed to apologize. i honestly hope him and bh link together again. and if not i hope hes able to continue his passion for music through his solo music
I feel disappointed for ever disrespecting this man’s career after all he’s the most relatable artist I’ve ever listened to, I feel his pain in his music and I feel his experiences or mentality are very similar in some ways to mine. This guy is a true inspiration to me and arguably one of the biggest compliments you can pay someone’s music is I see myself in the way you express yourself, I see you in the way I have expressed myself, now and in the past. I don’t think I have ever related more to a person, or to what that person’s saying so all I can do is thank you for that. Having time to reflect on things is good!
It’s a shame that he got kicked out, he definitely had the hardest voice and flow. He brought that street feeing to some of their songs. Excited to see what comes next from him
That’s so crazy to learn that ameer was actually there with them at the infamous Boston calling performance and they just said you’re not gonna perform tonight
from the documentary they premiered over the summer before iridescence it was shown that ameer left, theres video proof of it and all. I hate cancel culture just as much as I assume you do but that is not what actually happened.
Mihi321 you might be able to find it somewhere on reddit, but it was never uploaded anywhere. I personally went and saw it myself and there were no phones allowed or any recording
lots of people don’t change until they’ve been exposed, but this man really managed to become someone better. not excusing wut he did, but i really do miss him in the group
this man is so real its hard not to respect him. so humble, honest, self-aware, loving, patient, and classy. I believe it matters where someone is focusing and striving toward more than where they have been in the past. some people start 15 miles behind in a 10 mile race.
Ameer is a real one . Hes not making excuses and hes not trying to hide . Hes taking every step in the right direction and i really hope he gets to his goal he deserves it and he should be an example and role model for everyone
The peak quality of the fan base was during and shortly after the saturation trilogy. It felt so good being a part of the hype behind this group that was making amazing music, with members that bring different things to the group, not knowing 100 percent everyone that actually made a part of it, sort of had a mystery to it. The music was what brought everyone together to wanna follow this group. Then after all the ameer stuff happened, all these teenagers just started bandwagoning on the group and the fanbase just became almost the hip hop equivalent of kpop fans. Their behavior and how they "stan" is cringe at times. Whether they just wanted to support brockhampton after the accusations and removal of ameer, Kevin being openly gay, or liking the new music, it just didn't feel the same tbh. .It was gonna happen eventually but the SAT trilogy was peak fan base days.
Ameer was my favorite BH member when I first got into them. I was pretty upset when he got kicked out. I’m glad he’s improving himself and getting better and i’ll always be a fan 🥳
I’m glad to hear Ameer is able to open up about his situation and his mental health, refute some of the accusations, and admit the bad things he has done and try to redeem himself and grow as a person. Respect.
I think him leaving BH helped him heal as he wouldn’t have found himself if he had kept going down the road he was going down. His story is very inspiring and will really help others and I think he and BH will do fine as it was a hard decisions for both of them to come to.
I don’t hate Ameer, and I do believe what he says about the accusations. But I also understand that the women who accused him really did feel some sort of abuse from him.
100%, 2 sides to every story, just because he didn’t mean to make a woman feel that way, the woman still has every right to feel any way she feels. I seen on twitter where someone said “are you the villain in anyone’s story?” And it makes you think, you’re obvious you’re superhero in your life, but you can easily be the bad guy in someone else’s. Life is really gray, not black & white.
Rigoberto Alcantar no offense but if you’re the ‘superhero’ in your life then maybe it would be good to keep that in check and consider how other people think of you
brandon white I think a more reasonable way to put it is standing by the words and the message they project. Matt’s junky verse is an attack on rape culture and the covering up or defence of possible sexual predators. Yes, you could call it “protecting their image” but I think of it as “acting what they preach”.
I’m proud of Ameer for taking accountability for his actions and taking the right steps to heal. I only wish the best for him and for him to keep thriving ❣️
i really admire ameer’s honesty and his ability of being so open about talking about bh. some people run away from their mistakes and problems but ameer had the courage to address and acknowledge what he did and i really admire the fact that he still respects bh even after the pain that they caused. it wasnt easy for any of them. lets all remember that. ameer is cancelled by many bh stans now but we need to acknowledge what was happening on ameer’s side. he knew what he did wrong, he apologized. ameer is a person with a kind heart and i applaud him for being that.
This is crazy to hear because I was front row at Boston Calling for their set and just seeing how emotional the group all got on stage to the point that they broke down in tears and had to cancel the rest of the tour says a lot. A lot went on behind the scenes that fans don’t know about (including me), and we may not ever get the full story but I personally feel that sometimes the effects of cancel culture can also be just as toxic as the behaviors it doesn’t condone. I’m glad Ameer is working on himself and I appreciate knowing a little more of what happened that day from his perspective as a lot of fans have felt confused and let down since that day and of course when the whole situation unfolded and caused a huge divide. Thank you Sway for being a great interviewer and approaching these topics with grace and respecting the rest of the boys while giving Ameer a platform to give his side of the story. I hope everyone’s healing and moving forward in a positive direction.
Amazing Interview! That is how it's done! Sway didn't hold back but he wasn't judgemental, nor did it sound like he was attacking him. Really loved Amers honesty in this vid! Truly believe he's going to help someone with his testimonial. Wish him the best 🙏🏾✊🏾 Great way to start my day
I feel disgusted w myself for always just assuming shit I need to work on that. Hearing ameer speak on this gave me a new perspective and I’m happy for him honestly. I’m glad he’s becoming better
Lexi G we all need to get better as a society cancel culture getting outta hand and most of it is from assumptions Wise words from my mentor The word Assume makes a Ass- outta u- me
He handled it well. I understand why BH told him to go to Texas and get help, but I also understand how that felt. Maybe he overreacted a bit, in walking out?
DatNarutoFan when you’re all over the place mentally most people won’t wanna fw you, in hindsight his behaviour could have been the reason why they didn’t want to help and why they didn’t explain shit. I actually think both sides acted kinda dumb/rash.
they’re all young. and honestly i’m a new fan so i’m just getting into BH/ameer’s music so i don’t even know the full story. but from what i can gather, honestly this whole ordeal really just proved that they’re still young and i guess being given spotlight and fame so suddenly is pressurising. it’s sad, ya know. so i guess at the end of the day, what i’m tryna say is that people don’t make the best decisions when faced with pressure.
@Mason Walker what part of reflecting on your own actions is he not getting?its his mistakes and only he could work on it.blaming BH is childish and immatureof him
saturation II is the best brock album because ameer had one of the most prevalent roles, the fact that the rest of the group don’t speak to him is real sad and i miss him man
"I need a friend, and you need a home I love when you come, I still feel alone You make it warm in my bed, butterflies in my head, sunrise let it set."
Neri Cohen “But you don’t love me like you say you do, white lies hold the hidden truth, you keep leaving when I need you most, it’s true what they say about love had and love lost.. Here you are and now you’re gone.. 😐
Ameer was one of the strongest voices in BH. Also, love how he’s owning up to his mistakes. I’ve been there. I can really see his growth and him wanting to grow. Good on you, Ameer.
I don't know much about Shia LeBeouf's personal life. But he isn't a therapist. "Friday Therapy" may be an open group-talk session, but it's not therapy. I've always been a little irked with how obsessed with fame Kevin is, and how his "therapy" session has to be headed by an actor, and all the attendees have to be involved with Hollywood industry in one way or another.
Great interview Ameer was my favorite artist in BH and once he was removed i never got the same vibe from Brockhampton even though Ginger was still Dope. I’m glad Ameer seeked help and is standing in his truth! Very rare you see young artist do this.
I agree with him. If my friends of 10 years told me to handle my mental issues alone instead of supporting me because their paycheck was in jeopardy, I wouldn't want to come back to them and ask for forgiveness either. As a friend of someone for that long, the least you can do is support the person and help them into rehab or something like that instead of having a manager deliver the bad news that you're not performing or in the group anymore. Fuck em as far as I'm concerned. He's better off moving on to better things with new friends if that's how little they cared about his mental health.
thought he was going to try and defend himself all through this interview with the first things he said... man, I feel so happy he got better, it is so cool to see him mature so much. Thank you Ameer for being so honest.
this interview was too good. ameer addressed so much shit that i didn’t even know, and it truly made me understand more about the ameer & bh issue. i am glad he looks so much happier and mentally stable.
you can definitely see he’s matured and grown as a person to improve and fix his mistakes. i’m glad he owns up to it and just wants things to be better again, rather than letting his past decisions define who he is, and make him a bad person. you can see how much he’s grown from this and i’m glad he’s back in touch with the boys.

Just played the whole Emmanuel album and these words have more meaning now. Ameer opening up truly shows his growth in recovery, big ups!
I feel like Ameer just feels betrayed by BH but doesn't want to say it..
Macc aroni He said it like 3 times
Hes said it on Los Angeles and some other songs off the EP
Iont keep up wit shit patna.
@@maccaroni6355 its literally in the video tho lmao and your in the comments
We all know it so I don’t think he has to
Ameer the real ones still got a lot of love for you bro! Proud of you
reminds me a lot of Shia Laebouf and his accountability towards his upbringing and actions
this man is so real its hard not to respect him. so humble, honest, self-aware, loving, patient, and classy. I believe it matters where someone is focusing and striving toward more than where they have been in the past. some people start 15 miles behind in a 10 mile race.
This was kinda intense to watch as the questions were so straight up but I loved this interview. Glad Ameer is doing well !
Ameer is a real one . Hes not making excuses and hes not trying to hide . Hes taking every step in the right direction and i really hope he gets to his goal he deserves it and he should be an example and role model for everyone
Shoutsout Ameer man! Been hoping he would come up to Sway
@FREAQU why
@FREAQU nah that was never me. i always thought the allegations weren't that deep & he was and still is the best rapper in or out of BH.
BROCKHAMPTON are a pretty talented band but their fan base are annoying asf.
Dan Kale FACTUAL STATEMENT
“We Stan” “Kevin’s gay” 🤪🤪🤪
Brockhampton are amazing but their fanbase is abysmal. Like they make me embarrassed to call myself a fan.
Almost ruins the music
The peak quality of the fan base was during and shortly after the saturation trilogy. It felt so good being a part of the hype behind this group that was making amazing music, with members that bring different things to the group, not knowing 100 percent everyone that actually made a part of it, sort of had a mystery to it. The music was what brought everyone together to wanna follow this group.
Then after all the ameer stuff happened, all these teenagers just started bandwagoning on the group and the fanbase just became almost the hip hop equivalent of kpop fans. Their behavior and how they "stan" is cringe at times. Whether they just wanted to support brockhampton after the accusations and removal of ameer, Kevin being openly gay, or liking the new music, it just didn't feel the same tbh. .It was gonna happen eventually but the SAT trilogy was peak fan base days.
Ameer was my favorite BH member when I first got into them. I was pretty upset when he got kicked out. I’m glad he’s improving himself and getting better and i’ll always be a fan 🥳
I really love his song “Sincerely, Yours”.
ChocoftheCharts really one of the best songs out of all of brockhampton
Me too it's very personal
I’m glad to hear Ameer is able to open up about his situation and his mental health, refute some of the accusations, and admit the bad things he has done and try to redeem himself and grow as a person. Respect.
“i feel just like zayn”
yooooooo, damn. Just catching that

Damn, Sway asked some goodass questions. Props for handling it pretty well.
"but I'm a human being and I got feelings and that shit hurt my feelings."
Sway it's cool of you to give this man the opportunity to share because Ameer really did get proper cancelled and your giving him another chance
"I'm the black Tom Hanks"

I think him leaving BH helped him heal as he wouldn’t have found himself if he had kept going down the road he was going down. His story is very inspiring and will really help others and I think he and BH will do fine as it was a hard decisions for both of them to come to.
I don’t hate Ameer, and I do believe what he says about the accusations. But I also understand that the women who accused him really did feel some sort of abuse from him.
100%, 2 sides to every story, just because he didn’t mean to make a woman feel that way, the woman still has every right to feel any way she feels. I seen on twitter where someone said “are you the villain in anyone’s story?” And it makes you think, you’re obvious you’re superhero in your life, but you can easily be the bad guy in someone else’s. Life is really gray, not black & white.
i meaaaaaan... basic logic says just because someone feels offended does not mean an offense has occurred
Rigoberto Alcantar no offense but if you’re the ‘superhero’ in your life then maybe it would be good to keep that in check and consider how other people think of you
@@Just.Kidding that’s not true at all. Plenty of people have done fucked up shit towards others without intending to or even knowing that they were.
@@Hipno702 that's true but his point still stands. There are a lot of people who felt offended when there was nothing to offend them
I miss the 2017 days right after south central before the fan base split makes me nostalgic even tho it’s only been 2 years
FREAQU lmfaooo man that was like 3 years ago I forgot how to change it LMFSOON
crazy cuz that was back when I discovered them an thought they were dope af man. Nostalgic fr
Lax same man used to tell everyone Ik about them it was something special
I’m glad Ameer is growing and healing as a person, but I completely understand why brockhampton kicked him out of the group.
Yeah they wanted to protect their image more than help their friend.
brandon white they have to feed their families too
brandon white it was partially Ameer’s decision too. I think he needed time out of the limelight to get his shit together and recover too
Ameer left himself, and he set up Doms friend to be robbed so he kinda deserved to be kicked
brandon white I think a more reasonable way to put it is standing by the words and the message they project. Matt’s junky verse is an attack on rape culture and the covering up or defence of possible sexual predators. Yes, you could call it “protecting their image” but I think of it as “acting what they preach”.
I’m proud of Ameer for taking accountability for his actions and taking the right steps to heal. I only wish the best for him and for him to keep thriving ❣️
i really admire ameer’s honesty and his ability of being so open about talking about bh. some people run away from their mistakes and problems but ameer had the courage to address and acknowledge what he did and i really admire the fact that he still respects bh even after the pain that they caused. it wasnt easy for any of them. lets all remember that. ameer is cancelled by many bh stans now but we need to acknowledge what was happening on ameer’s side. he knew what he did wrong, he apologized. ameer is a person with a kind heart and i applaud him for being that.
We love you bro keep striving
This is crazy to hear because I was front row at Boston Calling for their set and just seeing how emotional the group all got on stage to the point that they broke down in tears and had to cancel the rest of the tour says a lot. A lot went on behind the scenes that fans don’t know about (including me), and we may not ever get the full story but I personally feel that sometimes the effects of cancel culture can also be just as toxic as the behaviors it doesn’t condone. I’m glad Ameer is working on himself and I appreciate knowing a little more of what happened that day from his perspective as a lot of fans have felt confused and let down since that day and of course when the whole situation unfolded and caused a huge divide. Thank you Sway for being a great interviewer and approaching these topics with grace and respecting the rest of the boys while giving Ameer a platform to give his side of the story.
I hope everyone’s healing and moving forward in a positive direction.
Man I’m so happy for Ameer. I am really glad I got to hear his side of the story because it really changed my perspective on him
Amazing Interview! That is how it's done! Sway didn't hold back but he wasn't judgemental, nor did it sound like he was attacking him. Really loved Amers honesty in this vid! Truly believe he's going to help someone with his testimonial. Wish him the best 🙏🏾✊🏾 Great way to start my day
I thought this situation was a lot worse than it actually was... this interview was definitely needed.
ameers face when he brought up the accusations 😔😔😔
I feel disgusted w myself for always just assuming shit I need to work on that. Hearing ameer speak on this gave me a new perspective and I’m happy for him honestly. I’m glad he’s becoming better
Lexi G we all need to get better as a society cancel culture getting outta hand and most of it is from assumptions
Wise words from my mentor
The word Assume makes a Ass- outta u- me
Heather B always says something wise and insightful. Underrated
Would’ve liked to hear his side of the story about setting up Dom’s friend to get robbed.
iEggSavior he might’ve asked sway not to mention it because he doesn’t want to self incriminate
He handled it well. I understand why BH told him to go to Texas and get help, but I also understand how that felt. Maybe he overreacted a bit, in walking out?
Why would you stay in a group thats acting like they dont fw you anymore and aren't explaining shit to you? That's a dumb move.
DatNarutoFan when you’re all over the place mentally most people won’t wanna fw you, in hindsight his behaviour could have been the reason why they didn’t want to help and why they didn’t explain shit. I actually think both sides acted kinda dumb/rash.
they’re all young. and honestly i’m a new fan so i’m just getting into BH/ameer’s music so i don’t even know the full story. but from what i can gather, honestly this whole ordeal really just proved that they’re still young and i guess being given spotlight and fame so suddenly is pressurising. it’s sad, ya know. so i guess at the end of the day, what i’m tryna say is that people don’t make the best decisions when faced with pressure.
@Mason Walker what part of reflecting on your own actions is he not getting?its his mistakes and only he could work on it.blaming BH is childish and immatureof him
I want Ameer to win bro, he gets so much hate and people don’t even know what he really going on
saturation II is the best brock album because ameer had one of the most prevalent roles, the fact that the rest of the group don’t speak to him is real sad and i miss him man
It’s about time I get to see them head rolls!!!!
How do you deal with yours?
Jonathan Wilder I said the same exact thing
This is the most unexpected interview ever
His honesty is his strength. Wishing Great things for this young man.
This is just a great interview, straight up. Not a lot people with this kind of history are given chances to speak on such a large public platform
This guy is just a normal guy. He had some issues internally and has since dealt with them. Who can’t say that?
he had borderline personality disorder
Dylan Dunlap exactly
he abused women and had relations with underage fans bruh
Mad respect to Ameer for answering these questions so calm and collected
did anyone else catch "you definitely have the answers sway" at the very end, I'm fucken dead.
I've actually gained so much respect for this man for speaking about all his therapy process and stuff thank you so much. Seriously man

Neri Cohen but you don’t love me like you say you do. ahhhhhhhhhj
we appreciate a person who works on growing and changing. seeing the problem then working on it. we cant get stuck in the pattern.
Ameer was one of the strongest voices in BH. Also, love how he’s owning up to his mistakes. I’ve been there. I can really see his growth and him wanting to grow. Good on you, Ameer.
it makes me happy that ameer still remembered his whole SWAMP verse :)
Who didn’t 😌🤘
Sway shoulda asked him about DEARLY DEPARTED
Man humble af for being honest about freestyles. Last of a dying breed.
This was intense and I’m so happy this is out. Been waiting for his forever and I’m rooting for him.
Brockhampton needed therapy as well that's why they have shi labeouf as a mentor.
Immortal Vegan uhhhh lmfao ok
I don't know much about Shia LeBeouf's personal life. But he isn't a therapist. "Friday Therapy" may be an open group-talk session, but it's not therapy. I've always been a little irked with how obsessed with fame Kevin is, and how his "therapy" session has to be headed by an actor, and all the attendees have to be involved with Hollywood industry in one way or another.
that’s so funny they really are buds with shia
This comment aged very poorly.

Great interview Ameer was my favorite artist in BH and once he was removed i never got the same vibe from Brockhampton even though Ginger was still Dope. I’m glad Ameer seeked help and is standing in his truth! Very rare you see young artist do this.
I agree with him. If my friends of 10 years told me to handle my mental issues alone instead of supporting me because their paycheck was in jeopardy, I wouldn't want to come back to them and ask for forgiveness either. As a friend of someone for that long, the least you can do is support the person and help them into rehab or something like that instead of having a manager deliver the bad news that you're not performing or in the group anymore. Fuck em as far as I'm concerned. He's better off moving on to better things with new friends if that's how little they cared about his mental health.
I BEEN WAITING ON MY BOI
I respect this guy so much, I am so happy that he got help and is trying to become a better person
Not really fair to make him reflect on such heavy shit and then ask him to spit BARS right after.
If he hadn't have been cancelled do you think he'd have taken the time to reflect
Anakie Maybe one day he might have, as an older adult. But most likely not as a young man b/c he would have never been held accountable
You could look at his lyrics, it looked like he already was trying to be better
@@licoricelaces4205 well if the Dom allegations are correct, he wasn't trying too hard
I respect that he's genuinely making an effort to change and improve as a person. Also the fact that he is willing to admit and accept his own faults.
thought he was going to try and defend himself all through this interview with the first things he said...
man, I feel so happy he got better, it is so cool to see him mature so much.
Thank you Ameer for being so honest.
this interview was too good. ameer addressed so much shit that i didn’t even know, and it truly made me understand more about the ameer & bh issue. i am glad he looks so much happier and mentally stable.
you can definitely see he’s matured and grown as a person to improve and fix his mistakes. i’m glad he owns up to it and just wants things to be better again, rather than letting his past decisions define who he is, and make him a bad person. you can see how much he’s grown from this and i’m glad he’s back in touch with the boys.
