We were not enemies, to be real, we have not spoken since then, apart from” Hello and goodbye “or if I had to go out on the program when they did the morning program, I would interview me.
“But since then there has been no conversations. And it’s OK with me. It’s no problem because it wasn’t like guys or nothing. But at the end of the day everything was for me. It was:” Look, man, I try to win and I don’t think I can with you. “That doesn’t mean it’s your fault.
