Joey Fatts discusses how his life was when he was homeless, during an interview: “I stayed with Rocky for a few months at his place out here in Cali,” Fatts says. “I just kind of felt like a burden on him, so I only stayed for like three or four months. He was never there anyway, he was only there for like three weeks while I was. I just didn’t want to be a burden. I felt like I had to get out on my own. That’s how I always felt. That’s why I was homeless. I just need to get it on my own. I know my brothers got me, but I just gotta get this shit. I’m gonna be real. I’ve only been rapping two years. I don’t think I’m the best nigga out here, but I’m working.”
