shared his thoughts on the ongoing racial tensions in America with a powerful video message on Sunday .
"I've been quiet a few days cause I don't know what to say ... but I'm tired. I don't have any more words," he began."I said everything I needed to say on a record, I think. Expressed myself, did all kinds of press and ended up being that guy in the little box on whatever news program talking about this s--t. I'm tired of crying on TV. I'm tired of being angry.
"I'm a 6-foot-4 black man. I'm probably some of y'all's worst nightmare. ... I've seen you walk across the street at night when I'm standing outside of my hotel smoking. I've seen you clutch your s--t on the subway," he said."My intentions are good, my heart is good. That's Big Floyd, that's George Floyd. That's Breonna Taylor, that's Ahmaud Arbery.
"I need y'all to talk to y'all's people," he said."Like for real, talk to those people. What do you got to lose? You got to lose a relationship with somebody who's got bad energy, whose mentality is twisted? You scared to lose that 'cause of a last name or some s--t? What is it? ... Why don't y'all stand up to those people?"
