He put a belt around my neck and choked
00:00:01
me till I blacked out. And when I came
00:00:03
to, I could see my children under a
00:00:05
blanket screaming and crying and calling
00:00:07
out for me and he was on top of me
00:00:10
getting the belt to put around my neck.
00:00:11
All I heard him say was, "One of us is
00:00:13
leaving in a body bag and it won't be
00:00:14
him." I started kicking, screaming, and
00:00:16
just hitting and trying to muster up
00:00:18
enough energy to get him off me. You
00:00:20
know, I get a 44 revolver in the back of
00:00:22
my head. He tells us, "Don't make any
00:00:24
sudden moves or I'll blow your brains
00:00:26
out." Kaye the pop singer sort of broke
00:00:28
through on the scene while you were
00:00:30
still at school. Learn my lessons in the
00:00:32
school of love. If you only
00:00:38
yeah there's some good experiences. E
00:00:39
like you toured with Missy Elliot or you
00:00:41
open for Missy Elliot. Yeah. Buster
00:00:43
Rhymes, Missy Elliot, Shaggy, Nelly
00:00:45
Fitt. It broke me to hear my son turn
00:00:49
around and tell me. It still makes me
00:00:51
upset when I hear this.
