“And yeah, I guess he called me an idiot, but it’s true though because with Deli, he’s changed my whole mindset like my attitude. He’s instilled discipline into me. Before I never had that, I was just lazy. I never took it like serious, but now with Deli, as well as Calvin, it’s a different level.”
