I’m back. My bad. Just touched down in ATL. Had to shoot a commercial in Cali. About knowing your home address, I reached out to your girl Tisha. She gave it to me, but not willingly. She told me I’d owe her ... should I be scared? lol

And why the email vs a DM? Well to be real with you, DMs are impersonable. I don’t post on IG like that unless I want to or I’m contractually bound to. Plus sending my condolences on an app would’ve been lame AF, D. Come on. I’m better than that. And why wouldn’t I remember what your favorite flower is? You were all starry eyed over them.

But real talk, I’m glad to hear from you.

Well, your reasoning about the email vs DM thing seems solid. I’ll allow it. As for Tish—yeah, I think you should be a little afraid. She’s going to make you repay that debt somehow.

Glad you had a safe flight.

Oh, so I was on trial, huh? Damn. Glad I wasn’t found guilty lmao. What are you doing up so late? Thought you’d be sleeping ...

I can’t sleep much anymore. I doze off for a bit, but always wake up around 3 or 4 am. My sleep schedule is shit, I know. I was prescribed something from my doctor to help months ago but it makes me feel like I’ve been hit by a truck when I wake up so I don’t take it.

And yes, you were on trial. Too many people in this world pretending to be something they’re not.

Well that’s the good thing about knowing you. I don’t have to pretend to be anything but myself when we talk. Glad I’ll be able to make it to your rebranding party. It’ll be nice seeing you again and making sure you’re OK.

Ah, yes. The rebranding party. Everyone will be excited to see you. Going to try and sleep now. Goodnight, Bishop.
