“Dennis is extremely intelligent person. Marrying himself, doing the sh*t with Madonna, all that sh*t, people were like ‘Oh, that boy crazy!’ No Dennis wasn’t crazy. Dennis is very smart, I sit there & talked to Dennis for 2 hours while we signing sh*t and I was like, this boy ain’t crazy! This boy is smart as hell!” he added.
