He promises to love the woman right and accept her for who she is, flaws and all. He also shows appreciation for her physical attributes, which he describes as "all that ass".

Is he underrated or not capitalizing enough on the hype he got since came into the industry? I Didn't even know he had a song on Coming 2 America but I knew Nasty c did cause he and his team marketed it all over social media π€
No Limitz
@Shamiso Rose hmmmm Tellaman is rich enough to market his music
