I met one of his managers 4-5 years ago in GA. She was a former well known porn star (not going to mention her name), but we got to talking off and on for a few weeks and we talked about him a few times. She mentioned he has a huge ego (not a surprise), but he has that ego because he earned success. He was never one to think in terms of race.

I've never been a fan of his music or lifestyle, but I respect his attitude and recognition that hard works matters more than race.
