In his acceptance speech, he reflected on the early stages of his career and how his life changed when he became a famous rapper.

“I walked into my mama’s room when I was 14,” tearfully remembered Weezy in the video below. “She asked me for a kid because my dad was killed. And her son had just blew up and went on his first tour, and we did not know that bi**h was going to be six months. When I came home she said, ‘Son, I can’t live in this house by myself. We’re going to have to figure something out.'”
