I don't see the problem. He's speaking about a friendship that was bigger than the competitive nature he shared with Chad, and how his intention is to carry forward and uphold Chad's memory by continuing to be competitive in the acting industry. And just because the only role you paid attention to was a drug dealer does not mean Omari hasn't played other parts. You all got the impression that he considers himself a replacement for Chadwick, but that's not at all what he was saying.
