Young lady, you’ve got to stay out of tour buses.” The rapper was arrested for the alleged rape following his performance, but he has denied the allegations.

Williams today addressed what was talked about on hot topic and said, “It’s never an easy job sitting here in the lavender chair by myself with nobody to bounce off of. Sometimes I might say something that you don’t understand, but I am the girl to cop to it. Maybe cavalierly you caught my comments, ‘You got to watch where you go.’ I didn’t mean anything by it.” She began to cry and then tell a story about how when she was 13 she looked like an older woman. Williams even spoke about going to get cigars for her grandfather and how olden men would look at her. She apologized and now is hoping the attack on her stops.
