hurts me so bad bc he was between a rock and a hard place: making friends in the industry but not knowing if he could trust them, and wanting noncelebrity friends for normalcy and not knowing if they wanted anything from him. And to this day some of those ppl still turn on him.

He was so famous even uncontacted tribes knew him😭
