Money Quote by Ray J
“I had a problem with Chris Stokes and Marques Houston a couple of years ago, they were stealing money from me and taking projects that I had out and taking them away from me so I started doing diss songs about them just talking a lot of smack. That was at a time in my career when I was real reckless so I had a lot of diss songs talking about them and who they were. I was just dissing them, just cause I didnt like them as people back in the day but Im older now, I dont regret what I said or what I did but Im definitely at a new time in my life that I wouldnt go there again.”
