Don't worry mainstream America.After this X album, it'll probably be my last album.

Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!

This all may be related to the 45 minutes he spent in jail last night after he turned himself in for a hit-and-run he is charged with committing in July. Today was the last day he had to turn himself in.
