“Yo Gill, praying hands bro, hope everything is going well in this situation, but sad news, I bumped into one of your disciples today at the Big 3, the funny guy Nicky Young,” Beverley said.

"I called him, scared to his face, Gill. Actually, I told him your scary a*s talk all that sh*t behind the camera, and I see him in person and he won't even look my way. So I just want to let you know what was going on."
