So after I rihanna puma signed to MMG it was like Reebok was hitting me up, Supra was hitting me, and then Puma came into play. I really had respect for the way they did business you know with their situation with Meek [Mill]. Also I ve always been a fan of Puma. As a kid I always used to rock them .there s a few different pair of [Puma] Suedes that my parents used to always buy me and things like that. So I already had huge respect for their brand. It was just the situation overall was better than what everybody else was hitting me with.Cool. Well you hit on my have you always been a fan of Puma question but you and Casey Veggies recently dropped the Fresh Veggies mixtape, which was crazy dope by the way thanks man. the mixtape was sponsored by Puma.

How does Puma come into play with your musical endeavors?I think that s one of the many reasons I tried to do a partnership with Puma. Because they re just really about seeing young people win you know. And they re down to get behind anything that makes sense. You know they have a partnership with Casey as well, but they also were aware that me and him had a relationship way before they had reached out to either of us, and way before we had record deals. And that s always somebody puma rihanna I ve been working on music with, and we had always discussed doing a mixtape. Then we just really had gotten the time to do it and Puma really gave us the resources to do what we needed to do musically. They really put a lot of energy behind it. We were able to do three free shows for the fans out in New York, LA, and Chicago that were a huge success. So they just really supported a puma fierce good idea and I respect them for that 100%.With artists like you, Meek Mill, and Solange on the Puma team, Puma definitely understands the marriage between music and sneakers.
