In the statement she made in the video, she said, “Anybody can be sick and die anytime, don’t spoil our name by begging for money when you ain’t sick. I’m not saying people should not seek help when they are sick, I support it when you do that, and I have even helped some people with the little money I have. Some of the endorsement deal money I make, I don’t spend it alone, I always help a lot of people with it.”
