Fabolous Quotes:
"It's a shock. To see yourself put on a pedestal, it's a shock - especially when you are a regular guy at heart."
No, that's why he beat me. I thought it was going to be the basketball game. I did a thing through EA Sports before, and it was for the basketball game. I was the king at that. They didn't let me know until the day before that we were playing the game, so if they would have given me a week to practice, I might have won.
"I think I'd like to own the Yankees. That's a legendary franchise. It'd make you a legend to own them."
"I was just trying to make some money, ya know? I got tired of being broke. This was something where
I could make some money. It just happened for me."
