A lot of artists come on stage and just do a quick 15–30 minute set, but you actually PERFORMED. In every sense, you came through, delivered, and left nothing behind, you owe us nothing because you gave us EVERYTHING . Thank you for your being and showing humility toward us, your fans. You’re truly an OG.”
