Later, in an interview with Today, the 'Young, Wild & Free' rapper shared why their marriage has stood the test of time: “I think because we were both young and we were both willing to sacrifice for each other."
He continued, "She knew what my dreams and goals was, and at the same time, I knew what hers were."
"When you truly love somebody, there ain't nothing you can do to break that up, and I feel like that was true love at first sight," he added.
