00:30How's it been, the performances, when y'all do your thing?

00:45They've been crazy, man.

00:51They knew every song.

00:53Word by word.

01:00Big O's in the building.

01:30I feel like this is like a running joke.

01:39With you being left off bad and bougie.

01:41I ain't left off bad and bougie.

01:43You think I'm left off bad and bougie.

01:45It look like I'm left off bad and bougie.

01:47Why wasn't you on that song when it came out, ultimately?

01:49Yeah, I just think we was just trying to kick something out.

02:01I don't know who created it.

02:03If it was Future or Amigos.

02:05But all them niggas sound the same.

02:13I can't really say what's my favorite.

02:15Because I look at it like they all are kids.

02:18So it's kind of like somebody telling me to choose which one am I.

02:21You know what I'm saying?

02:23My kids I like the most.

03:13Hello Dakota.

03:15Hello.

03:16There was a private party that was booked out for the event.

03:22And then after that ended.

03:24There was a large group of people who gathered at the front door area.

03:28Just outside of the building.

03:30And it led to an argument where the shooting took place from the disagreement.

03:37We have no reason to believe that he was involved in anything criminal at the time.

03:43Just as people describe him.

03:46A very peaceful, loving, great entertainer.

03:59A lot of the people that were there fled the scene.

04:02And did not stick around to give a statement.

04:04We're looking for any information at this time.

04:06Any videos.

04:08Any information.
