Woodley himself revealed how he mistook a $10,000 Rolex gift as a way of spying on him for his advantage.
“No, I’m taking them off yeah. I was gonna try to f**k you up even afterward. At the end of the day, I was like I didn’t know what the f**k. He was up to like I really to be honest. I didn’t know if you had like a tracker in that, yeah. I really had that, no I took it to the icebox. I said let me see inside this f**king that’s crazy because it’s smartest s*t ever see why not, “ Woodley confessed.
Notably, during a face-off, Paul gave Woodley this watch as a gift with no ill intentions. Woodley took it as a conspiracy.
