and then we’re gonna go around and we’re gonna answer these questions.
Ready?
So first question, for Todd.
What do you remember the first time
about the first time you started listening to YG?
- It was in high school, probably like 11th grade
and just used to always kinda listen to him.
And then my homeboys are just like
"Man, we just about to start calling you TG4hunnid.”
- Yeahhh.
- And that's when I kinda made, I made my Instagram.
That's what all my teammates used to start calling me
college, high school, NFL
- We can pop to the next question.
You can get that one, Todd.
- Me?
- Yeah
- YG: What about Todd Gurley has made you a big fan?
- First thing first: It was, like, some years ago
I was on tour, like, probably, like, two thousand, like, 13, 14.
And one of your boys, he came to the show
and he seen one of my people and was
like, “I gotta get—I gotta go talk to YG.
You feel me? The homie, Todd Gurley, you feel me.”
He f--k with him heavy.
So that’s when I hopped on the phone with bruh back in the day.
You feel me? I’m like, “Yeah.”
We was just choppin’ it up. He like
“I f--k with you.” I’m like, “Good lookin’,” you know what I’m sayin’?
And then he said he went to the Rams and s--t
then the Rams came to L.A., and I’m like, “Oh, this s--t is crazy.”
[Laughing]
I’m like, “This s--t is crazy,” but that’s No. 1.
You feel me? I support people that support me.
All day, to the fullest.
And then bro nice, though, like, so it’s like, he nice regardless.
And we neighbors and s--t. It’s all types of crazy.

I was talking to Kaepernick about this.
Um
like, when they started kneeling
at the time there was a lot of black people
was getting killed by the police
it was just a lot of crazy s--t going on.
It’s still goin’ on, but it was just crazy at the time.
When they was kneeling, that’s what the kneel was about.
And the people—I don’t know if it was the NFL or just the people in the world
they was tryna make it about the military and all this
and it’s like, “Bro, we, we ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the military.”
I’m from the streets, bro. I respect the military.
I respect everybody that go to the military that’s
willing to sacrifice they life for the country they from.
Just to see how they tried to turn it—and it’s just crazy
it’s like, “Bro, we talkin’ about something else.”
- Whole different subject.
- Yeah, whole different—it’s like
“Bro, our people gettin’ killed, bro.”
- You were a part of that, uh, that whole
you know, them taking his name off of your song.
What was like—how’d you feel about that?
- I didn’t know nothin’ about it. I didn’t agree to it.
I didn’t know nothin’, so I just felt like it was like, uhh
it was shady cuz
it put me in a situation with somebody that I’m cool with and support.
Been supportive from before he had this goin’ on.
It just made us look crazy
cuz when I found out about it
they had found out about it.
I woke up, you feel me—they hit me like
“Hey, bro, you know they took my name out your song, man?”
I’m like, “What?” Like, “Hold on. I ain’t got nothin’ to do with it, bro.”
[Laughing]
Like, you know what I’m saying? 
So it just put me in a weird situation.
But when I talked to him, he’s like
“Bro, I know you ain’t got nothin’ to do with it.”
I’m like, “All right, fasho. But, uh, we gonna figure it out.”
