Ric Flair recently spoke with Revolt; you can read a few highlights below:
Ric Flair comments on how the music video came together:
Well, I knew that he was a fan and the people I work with, a guy named Cam Fordham, reached out to him. Cam deals with many of the guys in the industry. I think they [either] reached out to Cam or the other way around, to see if I wanted to do it and I said, ‘Hell yeah.’ So I got to spend the day with [Offset] and he’s just a phenomenal young man. So respectful, so just genuine. He’s a real guy. Great music. He’s just living that life; that life that I love. [Laughs]
Flair comments on his experience filming the video:
Well, I’ve done a lot of stuff, not like videos for music, but like spending a day at the WWE, where we’d do off-camera shoots for the show. [This] was very well directed. [There was] input from a couple of different people, and I’m sure from people he relied on for their input and what they think, and it was very well organized. Wonderful people. Very friendly. My brothers.

What does Ric think about being a hip-hop icon?
I mean it’s so rewarding. It’s hard to explain all that stuff I did in the ’80s. All that money I spent on jewelry when nobody was wearing it. [Laughs] It’s all coming back around full circle. I used to sometimes want to kill myself later in life for all the money I spent renting jet airplanes, limousines, and all of that. But, now it’s coming back full circle. I don’t regret any of it. So to have the respect of guys like Snoop Dogg, who I’ve been friends with forever, and Offset, whose career and future is unlimited, I’m thrilled by it.
