The famous rapper also trains other martial arts. And he loves it!
He shared his love for mixed martial arts in a conversation on Logan Paul’s “IMPAULSIVE” podcast:
I’ve been training for like five years now. I don’t know, I fu*k with it, it’s just fun. It’s cool to learn new sh*t.
I think the older you get, you just get into different things like your body just tells you what’s cool and what’s not cool.
He loves to learn new skills – so he’s open to any martial art:
I’m kind of just open for whatever. Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, striking, it’s whatever; if you want to teach me some sh*t, I’m down to learn.
Sloth Jiu-Jitsu: you can be slow and unathletic and still kick butt in Jiu-Jitsu.
