Note - I'm conflicted as to whether the title is "....of me" or "....of each other".
Shaits, I must tell you that I was in touch with Chief when he was at Madison Square Garden when the Knicks played the Cleveland Cavaliers. I had invited him to for us to go to Zen Hibachi to discuss bringing a Guyanese Play to Richmond hill using his Lounge.
Chief was with a mutual friend who drinks and I can tell you that Chief does not drink alcohol. The photo you saw with a bottle was not Chief's. It was his friend's. He may use some colorful language but his behavior does not depart from that of a devout Muslim.
Chief is a respected stalwart of the Jamaat that prays at a Masjid in Queens Village that he's a leader in erecting a beautiful building. I myself have been there and Chief is one of the leaders. He may not advertize this, but like a lot of my friends, Chief admires your intellect and compassion for community and thus politics. However, like any human being he has his own emotions and sometimes when you pull his strings he is liable to come across as an adversary. He is strong-willed in his opinions. I have disagreements in measures but not on substance, like I'm sure he has wit others here, but note one thing about Chief. He is a consensus builder.
Now y'all hug and make up and cease this adversarial exchange.
Thanks Bro
