“It's like, yeah, I'm sure she gets paparazzi'd and it's like... even in the Chloe and Lamar documentary, like when there was rumors that Lamar was addicted to crack but he was still a functioning member of society and the Lakers.

And then when he was actually in the hospital we're coming from an overdose, the most vile questions right? Like, Chloe is Lamar gonna die from crack? Just insane!”
