“I don’t own her, and she doesn’t own me. When I first met Danya, I told her, ‘I don’t know why anyone would f*** the same chick for the rest of their life, I can’t do that.’ So she knew she wasn’t in love with a phony me. We’ve had some dope threesomes. Every relationship should be okay with it, that just needs to happen,” he further explained.
