I'd slit my wrists rather than hurt a child. I could never do that. No one will ever know how much these wicked rumors have hurt me.

I just think that when sex is used as a form of blackmail or power, it's a repugnant use of one of God's gifts.

I've seen lawyers who don't represent me and spokespeople who do not know me speaking for me. These characters always seem to surface with dreadful allegations just as another project, an album, a video is being released.

I am bewildered at the length to which people will go to portray me so negatively.

I just spent 11 and a half months in a maximum-security jail, got shot five times, and was wrongly convicted of a crime I didn't commit.

No matter who committed the crime, they all yell at me. And the media is greedier than most. You could sell 'em your soul and they'll be on ya till a nigga's a ghost.
