He added that he has to feed his family, and he's glad he has alternative income streams to make that happen.
"And you know, these things happen and dudes do have to feed their families," he said. "Albums don’t sell the way they used to, I’m pretty sure you guys know that. So in order to preserve my lifestyle and to feed my family, I had to have alternative means of doing that. And I’m glad to say at 50 years old, I have options. Not everybody can say that. Everyone cannot say that they have options.”
His main option? He's currently filming a movie; unfortunately, the time coincided with the tour.
“I fucking love Wu-Tang, wish I could have been on that tour with them,” said Meth, who's also set to star in the film adaptation of Angie Thomas' novel, On The Come Up, later this month. “The booking came at a bad time – I was already booked to do a movie. Only reason why I’m coming back saying this is because of my love for my fans, okay. The real fans. Not the ones that’d jump in your DMs and curse you the fuck out all call you all kinds of bitches. Like I said, I’m a very nice guy but I am not a pushover, and I would hate to smack the shit out of one of my fans, male or female, it goes both ways, please believe that. And I will not let anyone disrespect me. I’m a father, a grandfather, a husband, a brother. I have family and I have feelings on top of that. And I refuse to let anybody, I don’t care if you got one fucking follower muthafucka, you don’t mean shit to me. If you can bring smoke then you can take smoke, period. Dish shit out, you can take it.”
The tour kicked off Aug. 30 in Maryland Heights, Missouri and wraps in LA on Oct. 4.
