After 46 posts, 133 replies, & 8 TikTok/IG vids by Kiandria (vs my 3 posts & 38 replies) where she accused me of harassing her tho all evidence shows that she was harassing me, this is for the record. It's full of things that expose the lies- AND theres a twist at the end

Only started wearing the hats in 2023. That said- I had a high-top fade in late 80s- squares were "WTF?" Then it became trend. Then had twists on top. Squares were "wtf". Became trend. Then had afro- squares in early 90s hated it. Had2make a song: Fuck a perm. Fro became trend.

@BootsRiley Was this before you started wearing the hats?

"Oh! That's the coop right there!" Or "you the coop!?! You just ain't doing shit no more?" All the time

@BootsRiley Do you still introduce yourself as Boots and have people call you "the coop"?

It was an intentional reference to the way most Black folks throughout the 90s and early 2000s pronounced the name. We say this on "The Name Game"

Many Black folks from then dont know my name is Boots, they think MY name is "coop" or "the coop". Leading to film credit disconnect

@BootsRiley Did it bum you out that Black Thought mispronounced it on that song or was that intentional?
