In an early interview with Complex Music he described how he took the role to support his family.
‘My mother was very sick,’ he explained. ‘We were very poor, like broke.
‘The only money I had coming in was off of Canadian TV, which isn’t that much money when you break it down.
‘A season of Canadian television is under a teacher’s salary, I’ll tell you that much. It’s definitely not something to go f***ing get.’
