“ Don’t be deceived. Anyone who is telling you ‘men hit, its normal’ is either in denial or guilty. NO Excuse LEAVE!!!!!! God help us all.
“ Love hath no Violence…If he hits you, he is not a man. He is a Beast. RUN! Stay safe!
“ Give yourselves all the nomenclature you want. Wrong is wrong. When the head is cut off, the ears go with it. Be Wise. God Bless. I’m D’Banj,’’ he said.
