“I crossed paths with him three months ago at the NYY steakhouse, Coconut Creek Casino, which is the same city where he trains at the gym. He came into the steakhouse, and I looked him right into the eyes and said, ‘What’s up, bi**h? It’s on sight? Say something, do something.’ He just walked out of the restaurant.”
