“I wasn’t suggesting that he’s a person that lacks all character as a whole.”
Well,thatwas tense.
Does he regret bringing Xavier’s nephew into the conversation?

Does he feel Xavier is playing a cowardly game, as he insinuated in his interview with Chen Moonves?
Do you still feel that way, or do you regret bringing his nephew into the conversation?

So that’s what I was stating.
But as far as the statement, you know, I’d hate for it to be misconstrued.
You said you wanted to win with honor and not in a cowardly way.
Do you feel like Xavier’s playing in a cowardly way?
So we have the Cookout, this incredible moment of Black excellence.
And from that point on, me, myself I removed the goal.
I was like, “You know what?
I’m very much about representation and the importance of it, especially in the Black community.”
I do a lot of work outside the house.
So I decided, “Know what?

Xavier was a decent competitor, more than decent.
This wasn’t necessarily for him it just was the easier route.

How would you have handled that moment differently if you could?
And that was something I was even asked about multiple times.
I was like, “What do you mean?
I got to play the game.
I got to do all the necessary moves.”
He’s like, “No, don’t lose yourself.”
I wanted to win in a certain way.
Let’s say you had made it to the end.
How do you think you would do against Xavier, Azah, or Big D in the final two?
He didn’t get here.
I wasn’t convinced.
This is what I did.
And I told you guys, and I followed through on that consistency."
Maybe it would’ve been something like a 5-to-4 chance, or it could’ve been a 6-to-3.
Plus, you could’t see the outcome of things until further down the line anyway.
