Recently taking to L.A. radio station REAL 92.3, the rapper (born Keenon Jackson) didn’t bite his tongue when asked by resident DJs Bootleg Kev and DJ Hed if he would ever work with the GRAMMY-nominated femcee again.

“I don’t know, my feelings is hurt. I’m a real street ni**a,” he said.  Later, he definitively declined and said she was “canceled.”
