SlapHappyPappy, ColdWater, My brother is Travis's uncle by marriage. I went to school with his father and my SIL. I no longer live there but my brother has known Travis his whole life.
His father is flying to Atlanta at this time so there will be more direct news when he calls the family. At this point the news he got from the hospital was that Travis had second and third degree burns mostly from the waist down and on his hands.
ColdWater. The picture you posted is not of his business. It is one of his storefronts which he has three. He has several clothing lines that are sold there and thru other retail outlets plus a web store. Last years gross was just under 20 million. Not to shabby for a guy who just sells shirts to people in the hood. He has some clothing I wouldn't where but the majority I wouldn't have a problem with.
He has about 75 people working directly for him in sales, design, manufacturing and distribution plus others indirectly who work for the other vendors. He is presently in a 6000 and a 23000 square foot buildings that he has out grown. He just acquired a 63,000 building. They were to start moving some of the business into it this week according to my brother. He isn't sure what effect his accident will have on the timing of the move but it will have to take place because they are completely out of room.
He gave his father his old house when he bought a $8,000,000 house for investment and tax reasons that he shares with his ex. She lives in one end and he in the other. He gets to see his child everyday when he is home. I would say that makes him at least trying to be a good family man and is wise enough in business matters to look to the future.
I find it interesting that you maintain, "He is still a punk gansta rapster helping to ruin the lives of many by promoting racial divide." That again shows how little you know about him. He is not a rapper, he is a drummer.
Travis's problem is that he loves to play the drums and will play with anyone. He is one of the best drummers at this time so he gets lots of requests. That is why he was in South Carolina. He was invited and played drums for a song during the last country awards show we watched. I'll admit, he did look strange in that venue with the rest of the band being country musicians.
You don't like some that he chooses to play with but this is still a free country. He is free to play with people you don't care for and you are free to complain about it. I only ask that you get your facts right before you let your ignorance and bigotry say things about people you know nothing about. Especially in a situation like this.
As I stated before, the family thinks he should get through this. I will post later to all on this thread when I hear more.
Thanks to all who are showing compassion and to the other, I hope you get better soon.
BVB
