  1. This is terrible, I hate that it’s come to this. Love just isin’t love anymore, and HATE, has become WORSE than EVER BEFORE. Makes you think TWICE about becoming a star, because you’re more venerable to the people around you. You can’t see what’s going on IN the game, when you’re IN the game playing. I wish #Benzino a speedy recovery. #StraightUP.
