I'm glad my son does not have to witness that the very people that he thought he could ride and die with wouldn't think twice about using his mother.

My son made himself a legend, my son worked hard and made himself what he was and the legacy that he left behind, which was his music, he made that.

Has Lil' Kim reached out to you since reports came out about the publicizing of your distaste for her in this book?

I read the entire article and learned that not only was Kim wearing things belonging to my son, but she claimed that the home belonged to her as well. This experience helped me draw my own opinions about Kim. And they weren't good.

As far as murder, and murdering him, someone murdered my son; I don't think it has anything to do with the rap industry. That did not murder my son. It is, I can safely say, that if my son did not have the position, the job that he sought out, maybe he would be alive today. But I would not say that the rap industry murdered him.

[When the magazine hit the stands,] The first picture I saw was Kim wearing my son's mink coat, holding his chain and wearing his hat. I was in shock, ... I felt violated.
