I really I mean if I have to say as crudely, I care a f**k. The only thing that comes to mind is that I just feel bad for people out there who talk or behave a certain way. I mean like you gotta be really messed up in your head or you gotta be really low self-esteem or its gotta be some sort of you know for you to actually sit and belittle somebody or degrade somebody or be nasty.”
“I mean you really gotta have a lot of issues with yourself to be doing just because you have a platform. And you’re faceless so you think it’s your birthright. I look at it that way. I feel really bad for them,” Malaika added.
