Just thinking of that, and today, I’m going against Justin Bieber that Usher brought out, got a billion views on YouTube, till this day a billion views is a lot to me. That shit got a billion views on YouTube. Justin Bieber, I was about 13, 14 years old, and the first song I heard was “Baby” or something, and Usher brought him out. It’s amazing going up against someone I grew up listening to, forreal. How do you feel going up against Justin Bieber and Tame Impala? I’m going to fuck up peoples’ heads with these fucking riddles I be throwing.
