“And at that point is when I started expanding. “Now it’s like God put me in a position that basically, ‘N-a, don’t ever rely on nobody. I didn’t have to rely on someone like, ‘Yo, could you do this for me? Could you do this for me so I could succeed?'”Ĭontinuing to discuss how Dutchess leaving affected him as a man, Ceaser mentioned that their split actually gave him the drive to grow his business and take it to the next level. But that loss made me who I am right now because I was forced to figure it out. “I had two shops at the time, and I’m just still trying to figure it out. “So when she left, I had to start second-guessing everything you feel me? Because I didn’t know business,” he added. There’s a lot of things we didn’t grow up knowing like logistics of business and sh-t like that.” It was the fact that, knowing when you had somebody who like…Jim knows, we from the hood. Because you know…it’s not the fact that, you know what I mean, me and her split and all that sh-t. “You know the funny thing is, I never really thought about that sh-t until you really said that sh-t but my most defining loss of my life I have to say was is when I lost my fianceé.

“My most defining loss of my life…d–n,” he began.

Only referring to Dutchess as “my fiancée,” Ceaser explained that losing her wasn’t necessarily a pivotal moment in his life because the couple broke up, but because he no longer had anyone he could talk to about the details of his business.
