Was leaving work today to go on my lunch and had my headphones on loud. The song: “We Gonna Make It.” x Styles and Jada.

Well I walked in the elevator on the 2nd floor and was loudly rapping Jadakiss verse and was instantly met by the Strategy and Creative VP.……. Let’s just say Jada’s verse had a LOT of N-bombs and B words….. the VPs overheard me. Now it’s awkward……… I seriously……. don’t know what to do.

It’s crazy singing “We Gonna Make It” and now not knowing if I will.
