While complimenting Jay&#8217;s contributions to the culture, he noted how important Jay&#8217;s influence is and how powerful his journey has been. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You understand what it feels like to come from environments where people have to fight mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially just to survive,&#8221; Un wrote. &#8220;You understand the weight people carry when they feel trapped between who they are, and who the world expects them to become. Your story evolved beyond survival. You showed people growth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But moments later, he shared some additional sentiments in a sit-down interview with <em>The Art of Dialogue<\/em>, calling out how Jay seemingly only references him when it&#8217;s time to promote something. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you want to send the message to your brand and your partnerships that you\u2019re dangerous, using me as an example of how dangerous you are just to sell products, then that\u2019s up to him,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Find another way to make you a tough guy, a bad guy.
