“It’s quite a journey of tragedy and triumph, and that was the main focus. I did not want to tell a victim’s story.  People have been coming to me to do a documentary forever. I would say for the last maybe 20 years, people have wanted to do a documentary with me, but I did not want to tell the Sean Puffy Combs documentary. I did not want to tell the, Oh, you know, this is what happened to me. It’s all your fault documentary. I think now is the right time.  And so I’m very fortunate to have the right partners that I could have entrusted, um, to tell the journey truthfully, not even bias to me and I believe this is a truthful depiction of my journey, triumph, tragedy, triumph again, and we continue the fight. And I would not have been able to survive anything that I have if maybe I grew up differently, you know, in my father’s bosom, you know, being pet and powdered. And you know, my father and I have never had a better relationship now and I’m not ashamed of that. And you will get to see in the documentary that my father is not this great orchestrator of Shyne Barrow. In fact, we, we differ on many things.”
