I don't eat non kosher food, but I would eat at a non kosher restaurant, but I would not eat non kosher food. I don't eat scavengers, you know, I don't eat pork. I wouldn't eat meat if it's not kosher meat at a kosher restaurant, but I'd eat fish and chicken anywhere. But that's just for me. Those are my sciences. But like, I don't wear sit sits, I still wrap my tefillin, but that's all personal, private things. And that's why I say so. A religious person from, from that religion may say that I'm not religious. Doesn't really matter to me because where I'm at is a, as I said, a level of enlightenment. So I don't need to be with a rabbi, I don't need to be in Jerusalem because I've, I've evolved to a level where my, my connection with the creator of the universe is second to none. And I'm on a path of where I need to go as far as serving humanity and serving my ultimate purpose. So I'm great. As far as losing my seat of all that I've been through, losing a seat in parliament would definitely not rank on the top of things. That would shatter me, because that seat was me serving the people. I volunteered to help and to go to Parliament and be their advocate and be their voice. So, yes, you know, you feel away. You feel, man, you know, I was on a path to really making their lives better and hopefully becoming the next prime minister, which would make so many people's lives better outside of Mesopotamia. But then it's like, you know what? This is a journey. You don't just decide you want to be prime minister, and that happens overnight or it happens in a couple of years. The current prime. Excuse me, the current prime minister, he's been in politics for 20 years, or maybe actually 25 years before he became prime minister, he was minister. He was deputy prime minister. So, you know, while Barack Obama. Obama may have only been a senator for a couple of years and then he became president, it doesn't always happen like that. So there's nothing to necessarily be shattered about other than the betrayal of my party colleagues and the coup d'. Etat. But that inspires me to keep going and to keep fighting, because these are people that should never leave the country. And if they were to ever get the opportunity. Opportunity, that'd be worse than the current government. And so for me, it's not a matter of sitting there being depressed. I. I took one day to reflect, and I. And I went back into my con. It was March 12th. March 13th is. Is a fast day for me because I fast on Mondays and Thursdays. So I did my fast and I reflected and I said, okay, I'm going back to Mesopotamia on March 14, going to, you know, help all the people that I promised on the campaign trail. I gave out a power industrial power washer to a young man that wanted to start his own car wash. And I kept doing that up to now. When I go back home next week, I'm going to give out laptops and small business grants. And so my commitment remained firm. And then in that reflection, I said, you know, it's time for me to work on that album. Came up with my list. Dr. Dre, Swiss Beats, Timbaland, RZA, Boy Wonder, Hitboy, Pooh Bear, Alchemist, no ID. And the list goes on. You know, I have film projects that I need to work on about my life, my memoir. I said that, you know, it was my 25th anniversary. This is the year of my 25th anniversary. From September 26, 25 until 26. I said, I need to return to the stage. Better way to celebrate my 25th anniversary than to return to the stage. So I didn't have time to get into a slump. And that's never really been me. Like, you know, even when I was incarcerated, I put out a number one album, and I was always the best version of myself. So thank God I've never had those challenges. Right? Definitely. As a human being, you know, sometimes you're like, man, what's going on? But for me, my spiritual connection is what lets me know that what's going on is a part of the process. Nobody becomes Michael Jordan. Nobody becomes Derek Jeter. Nobody becomes one of the greatest of all time. Nobody becomes Bob Marley, Nobody becomes Malcolm X. Nobody becomes Barack Obama without going through the most rigorous process. That makes you to want to give up. That makes you want to just say, what is going on here? Yeah, it doesn't happen like that. The price of admission is excruciating pain and suffering. But listen, losing a seat is not as bad as spending 10 years in captivity. Losing a seat in parliament is not as bad as being deported and not being able to return to the States and losing my career and. And, you know, losing all of the promise and potential that I had. Right. So I've been through the worst of my life. Thank God, right? To be able to say that. Okay, you know, I have a few years until the elections. So I go in the studio with Dr. Dre. I'll go in the studio with Hit Boy. I'll go in the studio with Timberland. I'll go in the studio with Swizz Beats. You know, I'm going to return to the stage in Brooklyn Kings Theater, where I grew up at, and sell out the show. That's, you know, that's like a blessing. I'm so happy right now. I've never been happier, to be honest.
