@@janeanndixon My dad AND my ex took that path. Deadbeat dads know to work under the table. I remember my aunt said, "If they do drywall, I'll never get a cent but if they go to prison I'll get 5 cents an hour."
I like that he’s speaking what he wants to change about his situation into existence, and owning his mistakes. Taking accountability is a huge step. Looking forward to seeing him in 6 months. I’m rooting for you Kenny. You can do this. 💪🏾🙏🏽
We definitely need a follow up on him… He’s a smart man. He’s lived a LIFE. Brutally honest about it- DRUGS ARE REAL!!! And he tells it!!!! I hope he can get it together in the next few months. Can’t wait to see where he ends up.
I don’t understand how he can look so good living like that for so long. When I clicked the thumbnail I thought he was a regular guy who went to to prostitutes, not a life long drug abuser/street person. Amazing.
Looking at him I would never be able to tell he smokes crack honestly he seems to be level headed and self aware. He’s just trapped in his addictions to sex and drugs.
I can tell he smokes crack… he has that energy. I know because I grew up around crack smokers, my siblings and cousins… some weren’t completely broke down, and some were the stereotypical broke down kind of smoker… it’s the energy though that lets me know. God bless him, I pray he cleans up
I've been with my wife almost 10 years and never cheated on her. Even in high school I was with my high school girlfriend for 2 years and never cheated on her either I did a lot of immoral stuff in between but never cheated in a committed relationship
You cant see past your own suburban perspective Their dads out making bank everyday hustling. Many kids will see past their dads vices, as everyone has their own You think ur kids respect u with ur netflix and junk food addiction loool
Hey Kenny, if u read this, My parents got married in May of 1979 and are still together. I asked them once how they stayed together so long and have been faithful. Communication and trust is what they said. Without either, any relationship won't work
Kenny was right when he asked how, you are right when you explain about your parents. The reality is that many men cannot communicate openly with their lady, because their lady would not understand. They would judge them in the reflection of how they themselves would live, and struggle to understand the realities of the male mindset. We are so different. I have someone, she understands me better than anyone I have ever met - close to being able to communicate openly, but there are still gaps. I fear becoming like Kenny, because except for the drugs, unemployment and prostitution his story is essentially my own. Moving a lot, decent income, few or no friends, feeling the world is a cold place, not trusting others, being well spoken and finding it difficult to reach everyone around me because my life expectations are different. Kenny made sense to me in so many ways. I hope that he locks that money down until he recovers if his property assets get sold up.
@@asiatravel2010 Go to therapy , this goes back to sexual discipline. And, women have the same feelings too. Just different degrees just like not every man thinks exactly the same. There are women u cheat like crazy and have commitment issues also. Sometimes ppl just want validation man or woman. Se)( is set)( does it really matter if it's 100 ppl or just one person. I feel it's more of the mind then it is anything else. And I think there's more consequences for women when it comes to this. If society looked at se)( for women the same way they look at men. More sexual discipline would happen. Take responsibility for ur actions. Or simply don't get into a relationship
@@jessicapace9689 A very modernist response, I can tell a lot about you by the way you speak and the way you spell online - you are from the generation that feel nobody has the right to an opinion or observation if it disagrees with your own. I agree, to disagree with you. I do not need therapy, because I am comfortable with the way I am and do not have issues in my life - perhaps you need therapy to learn tolerance and understanding of others, both men and women. It appears you have some growing to do, spring chicken. Best of luck!
@@asiatravel2010 yeahh ok lolol u can't know someone by one response lol and also u came with an issue, all I said was a suggestion. Everyone should do therapy even more so the ppl who think they don't need it. Ur saying ur having connection issues maybe that's a conversation with ur girl , in therapy. From what I know sometimes there's a phycological reason. Sometimes. A outside party who's can think critically can help with that gap. Sometimes the things that are holding us back from understanding more is simply the facts that we can be biased. Although I'm aware that a small portion is because no one can truly walks in the shoes of another. I was simply pointing something out. But, I don't think u need to get shot to understand that a bullet can hurt lol. Basically , u don't always need someone to experience what u experienced. Because even if u got shot and the other person got shot ur experiences will always be different. Aka there's always a small part where someone can't understand. XD we just don't have hive minds like ants , we just think separately
@@jessicapace9689 you are very opinionated, it sounds like the world needs to stand silent and listen to your unwanted opinion of everything in order to satisfy your ego. Anything that is counter to your mindset appears to be wrong. I am glad we have amazing interviewees here that are a little more realistic. No more responses from me, you disgruntled little citizen. All the best!
Kenny would be well off retired if he didn’t mess with his own products, but that’s part of the street. You have to numb yourself from the pain one way or another. Hope Kenny recover and help others like him.
I’m so glad you get that! I prefer to think of the money that flows through the drug world as play money, because I couldn’t have made money like that without using. You pretty much have to be crazy. Every time I tried to hustle sober, I’d just say, “No, sounds sketch.” “I don’t like the sound of this one. Pass.” Yes, slow money is better than no money, but it was so slow there wasn’t much point. Thankfully, that was in another lifetime now, but I remember it well. I used to beat myself up over how I could have been rich if I hadn’t used, but now I see the using and the hustling all goes together. There are a few notable exceptions, like there are to any rule but I think most have the same trouble I did.
@@brittaolson6550 Been there. It's a chasing your tail game. You reach a certain point, then shit goes down, then you gotta start from scratch. Man, am I glad to be working a normal, not great job instead.
He is so right...I was born and raised in Culver City....my childhood was great in la..My mother came from Mississippi like him in the late 70s and worked at the Broadway department store and my dad worked for Northrup. It wasn't until I got on my own in my late teens; that I experienced the cold game that this man is talking about. Friends weren't really friends...women sleeping with your man..men having the pimpology mentality from the rap music influence. I partied in Hollywood all the time; and I saw that even important people in the industry stayed in crappy places,,like people's garages..and all had roommates...I am so grateful that I moved the Arizona when I was in my early 20s...I was able to enjoy life and not stress out and it wasn't dog eat dog...the men I met were so giving; and they sincerely cared. I was able to buy a condo at an early age; and still able to travel around the world. The main thing that I got from this interview was how hard it is to live in la..and I am so happy that my mother met my father who married her and took care of her and they were a team. Before he met my mother he was scammed out of money and used by women...my mother was lucky because she was a small town girl who met a wonderful man and survived la. He was one of those few who never cheated on her. They are still in la now and have each other...unconditional love❤
I like Kenny cause he is honest with himself! He knows is flaws and he realizes what is real about people and those streets. You will overcome this addiction just as you said you've done before Kenny. You seem to be a decent man. I pray that you get through this and don't look back. You deserve better as well. 🙏
@@albertacraft6463GOD BLESS YOU SWEETHEART!! I LEFT TOO BC THE PAIN IS TOO DEEP TO STAY!! I'LL NEVER EVER GO BACK! & AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS KILLING ME TO LEAVE BUT NOW I KNOW IT WAS THE VERY BEST THING I'VE DONE THUS FAR!!
I don't know which is worse, his sex or his crack cocaine addiction. He's kidding himself if he thinks that his kids feel he's a good father. Giving them money doesn't erase their knowing he's missing in action.
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman - I'm sorry about your experience growing up. It's unfathomable how the ravages of slavery & then decades of racism & discrimination can wreak havoc on communities of color. I appreciate you bringing the effects of environment on generations of POC to light. Like wise, I'm very familiar w/ men who grew up w/o fathers in a war zone, just not L.A. My father grew up w/o a father & his family was dirt poor. He was sent away to live w/ the ol' grandparents. He married my Mom & they were married 48 years, although he always carried the baggage of his childhood every where he went.
He’s the worst kind of man. To actually believe that he’s a good person is crazy to me. Even in how he speaks about being good to the prostitutes is creepy because he believes he’s doing good deeds.
OMG he said $800 and spending $300 on drugs! That is my house note every month!! The whole $800 would cover the house note and utilities!! It is insane how the cost of living is so different. And top hear folks talk about how they just blow the funds blows my mind. I struggle month month and thank God I have not backslid into my addiction. I have been sober since 1/16\2019.
Congratulations on your sobriety. I agree, blows my mind. My house payment is $710 a month here in Iowa. I have 1 teen driving and another going through driver's ed in March. Broke asf lol
I dont understand when people say this was one of my favorites you interviewed. Mark has interviewed 100s theres way to many to choose! From being real,to absolutely heartbreaking stories!
From a trick's perspective, this appears to be the most transparent. He has a deeper understanding of the streets. Hope he turns his understanding into healing and recovery. Once well he can help others.
This type of thinking would keep at lot of us women single. Side chick in an apartment and cruising the streets for sex with a wife at home. I would rather flying solo.
Ya. Because this is the type of husband you can't make the mistake of having unprotected sex with.... thats crazy!!! He should reconsider being anyone's husband in the future
Kenny you remind me of my father, you are so likeable! my father quit the crack and drug dealing overnight after getting his dream job truck driving. You look so good for your age. Replace the drugs with something positive 💖
He was paying for his wife as well and they were both fucking him. Tell me, what's the difference other than his wife loving him and him having kids by her?
@@CalmNoises To quote Jay Z, "The problem is, you dudes treat the one that you lovin' / With the same respect that you treat the one that you humpin' / That ain't 'bout nothin'." You don't treat a side woman on par with your main woman. Your main woman should be getting more than just your last name. This guy is out of order.
Whew. He’s so right. If you can make it in LA you can make it anywhere in the world. I’m so grateful that I was raised in LA. It prepared me for the real world 🌎
Born & raised in LA til 13, then moved to Chicago for 7 years. Been back in LA for 22 years and am GRATEFUL for both experiences in these wild ass cities 🙏🏾
What did you see that that makes him so problematic if your mom or grandmother grew up late enough than they more then likely drunk coke a cola when it legally had coke in it his demeanor is decent your father if you know him probably wasn’t going to put his marriage in jeopardy by revealing he paid woman for their companionship unless your saying your mom and dad never argued because I never heard of a happy marriage cheater
This interview took me back to 3 years ago. I had Awsome wife,Loyal with Most beautiful Ocean Blue eyes and I destroyed my marriage with another beautiful woman but she was a user and she used me,all happened because my brain was and still it is in my pants. I dumped that girl but it made damage in my marriage. Me and my Ex wife are Best Friend now.she forgave me but didn't forget. I spent lots of money for that girl and she cheated on me like I cheated on my wife. I was lucky I didnt/don't use drug I was smart enough to let that girl go,I did my best to save my wife and my marriage but it was late. Mark,Thank You for Good interview Man. Kenny,Wishing you Best Brother.
@@DCLCRayP as you say it’s a cultural thing. And they use the “genders are different” as justification. Men operate on emotion just as much as women do. Not sure why that myth is still out there. Women are just more vocql
He said he stopped working and started selling drugs because taxes took his back child support but he was a good dad? Who cares if the child eats but he can pay for another woman and her kids for 7 years. He is like his father for sure. You wonder why his life is the way it is? It's like karma.He will be back in 2 months but he will be back where he is today in 4.
I guess you’ve never heard of a word called “addiction.” Sound like you’re passing judgement, talking about karma, etc. I hope you are THE pillar of your community.
@@Obiamajoyisrmd I have heard of a cycle continuing. His kids should speak next on how his choices affected their life. They talk about childhood on this channel a lot. Like I said CHOICES. You hurt people in life you have KARMA. No way around it. Make good ones.
how many women you know that put the money away and actually take care of the child? Maybe 8% of women do what the money is for. Keep your judgement and let people live how they choose. You wouldn't go on this channel and pour out your deepest failures. I sure won't.
@@j.a.r.family2576 maybe you shouldn't think about having children if you don't want to feed them. Stop bringing kids in this world to SUFFER BY YOUR NEGLECT. Kids eat everyday just like you.
Well, I like Kenny… I’m not sure why cause he’s got some issues, haha! From these interviews and others that I watch, I’m learning quite a lot about how our childhood, our culture, our education, etc. shapes our futures. I’m a 56 yo white Christian woman with conservative values from a small town in the middle of nowhere. Grew up above the poverty line, but certainly not middle class. Raised by a single parent. I have no idea who my biological father is or even how my mom knew him. I have a black brother in law and my brother was gay (he died 10 years ago from an accidental fall). I love them both very much and would fight to my death for either one of them. I was molested as a young child and kept it secret until I was 24 yo. Married at 20, still married to him after 36 years. I’ve been faithful to him and fully believe he has been faithful to me. We have a beautiful family and have built an amazing life together. We don’t drink, do drugs, or party. We enjoy our friendships, of which we have many…. Most are couples that like us, have been together for 30+ years. Sometimes we dance in the kitchen, sometimes we argue on the patio. What is it about humanity that makes us so different? I was fortunate to have a great support system who helped me to heal from the sexual abuse. I’m blessed to have a godly husband who is an incredible man, father, grandfather, and friend. I just wish what I have was available to everyone. Yes, we all go through stuff…sometimes bad stuff. Yet all of us are affected so differently and our coping mechanisms seem to dictate the outcome of our lives… Thanks for the interview, Kenny. I’m eager to hear more from you in a few months.
His testimony is why I am building on my own . Most Men have no loyalty or self control. This channel teaches me so much about human pathology and I am a medical professional.
The beauty of a woman's face and body can be nearly impossible to ignore. We are coded like that. That's why female news correspondences look that way.
@@wardisan10 I never said it was wise. I simply spoke "man-facts". I'm in the legal profession-you ever noticed the receptionists at large Los Angeles firms?
Most men have no loyalty?! Are you joking ? You’re using this drug addicted / prostitute seeking man as an example for the whole gender . I want to say worse but I’ll just say that’s really stupid
Yeah I don’t understand why people be saying that. They’re just repeating what they heard on tv or some shit lol. They will literally lie to you during interrogations to get you to talk, why the fuck wouldn’t they lie to you on the streets. So dumb
I remember the trailer mark did with that young girl..I think her name is Royalty?? Anyways, the trailer starts with her walking almost butt naked lol and a John rolls up to her, the first thing she asks if he's a police?? Like he would tell her!! Lol
He's straight up appreciate his honesty he corrects himself when he's wrong he understands his environment he has been hurt I hope he stays alert in the dirt,
Doesn’t pay child support. Government takes his income tax for back child support. Stops working and paying taxes because god forbid his kids get any support. He’s talking about people there being disrespectful. He fits right in.
@B4warned, thank you for making this comment. While I cannot judge Kenny, I can say that I have heard that some men will quit working to avoid child support, and I really did not want to believe it was true. He quit after one support payment. Wow! I would love to hear from the child’s mother to learn what she had to do to support her child.
girl beat what odds of being a dusty ! lol 😂 this man hasn't worked since 1992 has 5 kids quit working because of child support and is still looking for prostitutes lmao😅
I dont think its fair to say that men and women are different like its excusing men who cheat. By his logic, if a woman cheats on a man, he'd excuse her behavior because he understands that monogamy is hard. Majority of the time men react very emotionally to being cheated on so men and women cant be that different. I dont think being faithful and wanting loyalty has much to do with emotions and more to do with respecting your partner, having consideration for the relationship and an understanding that actions have consequences. These traits are definitely more commonly found in women and I wonder why that is? It cant all be biological, surely societal expectations placed on men and women play a part. Monogamy is not for everyone and thats ok but what I find to be very common among people who cheat is the total disregard and lack of respect they have for their partner. If you want to be polyamorous, do it! - cheaters dont want this, they want a partner who isnt allowed to see other people outside of the relationship, they have just as many loyalty expectations on their partner! Sleeping with multiple people isnt the issue its the disrespect, dishonesty and the trauma it causes to the other partner thats the issue. It cant people years to get over trust issues from being cheated on, some people never get over it and carry trust issues with them throughout their relationships. Also, Believing yourself to be different from another group of people and using that belief to excuse your negative behavior towards that group, perpetuates inequality which you're actively taking part in.
He paid his child support, he just hustled and sold dope to do so. Unfortunately for him, it sounds like people misinterpreted what he said to mean he avoided child support.
I was looking for this comment because he spends hundreds on drugs and supporting other women but you that mad over child support so you won’t get a legit job? Make it make sense sir!
Shit doesn’t just happen! As adults, we CHOSE! Saying “shit happens” is a way to validate and not take responsibility for our choices! It may be hard, challenging or uncomfortable, but we can choose differently! Praying that this man makes better choices. I hope he is where he wants to be in 6 months!
Yes you're right to an extent but shit can happen around you and shit can be caused by people around you and you have no choice sometimes to get involved, so....... yeah shit happens. ❤️✌️
Like its always the guy? These hoes have been taught not to be loyal. Maybe you found a good woman, how long before the TV/social media corrupts her thinking? Marriage is dead until religion makes a comeback.
Ya. Because this is the type of husband you can't make the mistake of having unprotected sex with.... thats crazy!!! He should reconsider being anyone's husband in the future
It’s so strange, you take people who’ve done some bad things to others and to themselves and you help so many people see the good in them, and the human side in them. I feel a lot of times people see other people out on the streets but don’t really SEE people you know? There’s no human connection or sympathy. But your videos really change the way a lot of us watching look at people who are struggling.
This came to mind because I see a lot of commenters frustrated with people saying he’s a good guy or a sincere guy and whatnot, but I just wanted to say that you are a really amazing interviewer and im so glad this channel exists
I personally don’t see them as good ppl. I see them as damaged ppl. Once we hit adulthood we got to fight hard like everyone else to make it day to day and if you are out here destroying other ppls lives cuz you can’t get it together it makes you a bad person.
I like him. I respect all his perspectives. ((I just hope he understands that he can't be in an open relationship IF he thinks that Only 1 side of it is open. Maybe he is ok with the whole relationship being open. He never mentioned either way.)) You can tell he is from the south. Very charming, open, honest. Hope he gets another interview in March.
No 👎 LOYALTY, they will sell you a dream because of low esteem and lacking, make u believe u need them. 💯 Never trust the streets, your best friend will turn on u! Stay F.L.Y First love your self ✌to all real mofos
It’s an urban legend that cops can’t lie if you ask them whether or not they’re a cop. If that was the case, undercover police work wouldn’t exist lol.
So with his city, county, state and federal benefits plus his two side hustles, he's burning through approximately 170K a year. Always interesting, thanks!
@@SublimeSoundsASMR the dude said he could make on average $500 or more a day from selling drugs. You do the math. $500 X 365 = $182,500. So give and take a few thousand from his off days, it’s still around $100k to $150k or more.
It’s crazy how when it’s time to come up with some bogus excuse for cheating, all of a sudden everybody’s a psychologist and it’s all about instincts and chemistry. 😴 just say you’re a cheater.
Exactly! Men have been using this as an excuse for decades but the only people who are falling for it is MEN lol. Just because you're life is ruined with addiction doesn't mean you should ruin a woman's life.
My libido is probably 10Xs higher than my mans. We could go 2 good rounds, and I'll still roll over and do my thing 3 4 5 times...then again during the day. I see handsome men constantly, men show interest often...even if a halfway lustful thought comes in my head, I walk away...because I choose to. Because the thought of betraying him and hurting him hurts me. F that dumb as biology theory. Even if its so, cheating is a choice.
CAN’T WAIT FOR AN UPDATE💜 Kenny hang in there!!! You have the power that GOD has given you to shake this addiction! Change your environment and everything else will work out for you.
I feel his thoughts on what it’s like living in LA. I hope he overcomes his addiction and moves back home where life can be sweet and the air is sweet as well. I look forward to his visit in a few months. God willing, he’s gone clean and ready for a new start in life in the country. He’s a good man.
I like this guy and yet when he said his last job was in ‘92 and they took out child support, all I could think of was, “so this guy hasn’t paid child support since 1992?”
It's hilarious how so many people think that undercover cops have to admit to being cops if they're asked. Secondly, it would be entrapment if the undercover cop propositions him
Come on Ken Dog we rooting for you. I know you want to change and I believe you can do it. And I am confident that God will see you through. Don’t let this life get the best of you. Prayers to you Mr. Kenny
I can only speak from my own experience but watching somebody addicted to crack try to get hard is absolutely the most unbelievably bizarre situation they know it's not gonna happen but they will not give up they will hold you fucking hostage It's fucking awful.
I used to do cocaine or meth sometimes. Cocaine will ruin your erection and meth usually does not. Both drugs increase the sex drive. The people on TH-cam that occasionally comment about cocaine don't bring that up very much (pun intended).
I have never been with a prostitute, but even I know that police can do and say whatever they want! that's an old wives tail, same as if your buying drugs. you can ask them a hundred time's and they will say no every time and they will hem you up every time as well. they are allowed to lie, but if a citizen lie's to the cops, it is a crime. at least they think so!!!!!!!Good morning and have a great day SWU Family!
Excellent point. Whenever there’s a double standard like that, you know you’re not dealing with a benevolent institution, but an instrument of control, for the elites.
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman I mean addiction is insanity . And I’m saying this from experience. The things addicts do from a rationale point of view are insane as hell . I’m not putting addicts down but for anyone who hasn’t experienced it it would be very hard to logically explain it to them
I like this guy and I appreciate his honesty. But he’s still a huge part of the problem, the buyers do irrefutable damage to vulnerable women and girls trying to survive on the street. It’s one man after another taking advantage of them, whether they’re straight up or not.
@@samspade8830 who the hell wakes up one day and says mmh I'm gonna be a prostitute and risk dying or getting sick from sexual transmitted diseases certain circumstances lead to prostitute's doing what they do poverty and a lack of education is the main issue.

If you have a court order for child support and they start garnishing your wages and your tax refund, then you have two options - pay your monthly child support, or go to jail until you have a way to pay it. (Which is crazy because going to jail makes it more difficult to pay it in the future considering employment issues, etc.) Once you stop paying it again, should whoever filed for child support inform the court, any police dept, any local sheriff, etc that it’s not being paid, then a warrant for your arrest is issued on site. It’s a horrible system, but that’s how it is, in every state. The law is not concerned with HOW you pay for it, or where the money comes from. But it must be paid. There’s no getting out of it. So if this guy was not in prison, then obviously the child support was being paid - or he’s had a warrant for up to 18 years and somehow hid in plain site that entire time. Which we know isn’t the case because he talks about seeing his kids, making sure his kids were taken care of, and giving his kids money. We have to know how the world works, the law, what he said, and consider what he didn’t say, and what he’s afraid to say on video. He is most likely telling us that his 9-5 job wasn’t cutting it to sustain his life style and pay for child support (which is the case for too many men unfortunately). There’s no way you can live in Southern California, work in retail, pay child support (equal to a house note in other states), and afford his vices or addictions (prostitutes and drugs.) For an addict, there’s not enough time in the day to work two jobs and sustain that lifestyle. So getting another job isn’t an option they consider seriously. So he telling us that he quit working a regular job to hustle and sell dope in order to do what he had to do and make ends meet. Again, no one cares where the money comes from. If they are taking your tax refund then your going to jail the moment you miss a few more monthly payments. Child support is not a car note or a mortgage. You can’t even file bankruptcy and avoid child support. Paying child support is a moral and legal responsibility. But for everyone paying it, whether they know it or not, paying it is also a “stay out of jail” card. This guy is the type to know that paying it keeps him out of jail. You don’t pay your car note, you lose your car. You don’t pay child support after they garnish your income, then you lose your freedom.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN. He reminds me soo much of my dad, and like he said drugs will fuck you up!!!! But I’m a dam good dad, some may not understand that but it’s real. I have hope and faith that you will pull through! Prayers and blessings to you King much love💙
I understand it. My father had problems with drugs, but he loved his kids. I wish I had always been so understanding. I hurt my father by judging him, because I felt hurt and pushed aside, at times. Early in life, I was the most anti-drug but, later in life, I developed the same mental health and chemical dependency problems he had. I got through it, but it’s too late to tell him I’m sorry and I understand. But I can help other people, so that’s what I’m studying to do. I want to give them what he never had, and what one good counselor (at the 5th and last treatment I went to) gave me, unconditional acceptance and understanding. Science is just beginning to really understand addiction. Soon people will know it’s not a party or a character flaw, and could happen to anyone. Blessings to you!
He still a good man in his own way, just needs to do some things a bit differently but at the end of the day the way he has respect for these women on the street says alot about him.
Police officers acting in an undercover capacity do not have to inform you that they are cops, even if you ask them point-blank, they can lie right to your face. Reminds me of that BB episode LOL!
He paid his child support, he just hustled and sold dope to do so. Unfortunately for him, it sounds like people misinterpreted what he said to mean he avoided child support.
I’m talking more about this misinterpretation in the comments that suggest that he is a guy who quit his job to avoid paying child support and has been dodging it ever since. If you have a court order for child support and they start garnishing your wages and your tax refund, first is they take all your money, so you’re caught up. After that, you have two options - pay your monthly child support moving forward, or go to jail until you have a way to pay it. (Which is crazy because going to jail makes it more challenging to pay it in the future, considering employment issues, etc.) Once you stop paying it again, should whoever filed for child support inform the court, any police dept, any local sheriff, etc., that it’s not being paid, then a warrant for your arrest is issued on site. It’s a horrible system, but that’s how it is, in every state. The law is not concerned with HOW you pay for it or where it comes from. But it must be paid. There’s no getting out of it. So if this guy was not in prison, then obviously the child support was being paid - or he’s had a warrant for his arrest since 92-93, and still has a warrant up until this day - yet somehow managed to hide in plain sight that entire time. Which we know isn’t the case because he talks about seeing his kids, making sure his kids were taken care of and giving his kids money. He is most likely telling us that his 9-5 job wasn’t cutting it to sustain his lifestyle and pay for child support (which is the case for too many men, unfortunately). There’s no way you can live in Southern California, work in retail, pay child support (equal to a house note in other states), and afford his vices or addictions (prostitutes and drugs.)

Again, no one cares where the money comes from. If they are taking your tax refund, then you're going to jail the moment you miss a monthly payment. If he gets stopped by the cops for anything, even a broken tail light, he would go to jail if the support wasn’t paid. Even if the child support order was issued in Mississippi, that database is national and instantly pops up in any state and every background check. Child support is not a car note or a mortgage. You can’t even file bankruptcy and avoid child support. Paying child support is a moral and legal responsibility. But for everyone paying it, whether they know it or not, paying it is also a “stay out of jail” card. This guy is the type to know that paying it keeps him out of jail. You don’t pay your car note; you lose your car. You don’t pay child support after they garnish your income, then you lose your freedom.
They can take 60-80%. How u spouse to live off. 40% or 20% of your income. After a while. Doesn't matter if u a good guy or not. A lot of ppl just say. Fck it
Best of luck Kenny for once a story where the person isn't completely broken beyond repair. What a true parallel of how your childhood molds your future. The way he talked about his father and his childhood being pretty good. This alone says he can overcome his addiction it's like its for fun not a complete coping mechanism. Brilliant Mark showing the difference of someone being on drugs but with a different upbringing....without all of the trauma. I hope to see his next interview. Good luck 🤞 Kenny.
Whenever I think I’m pissed off or at my lowest these interviews. Smacks me back to reality
there goes gravity
there goes gravity
Everyone’s lowest is different. I hope you are in a good place. Thanks for sharing this.
There goes rabbit he choked
hes so mad but he
wont give up that easy
Something very likable about this man.
Seems honest, sincere and intelligent.
His drug addiction has limited his potential for success.
This guy is as normal a guy on this channel. He's someone you could picture as your co-worker, neighbor or even your pastor.
He’s good ole southern material.
Broken families are the real pandemic
I would say crack is the main problem! It has the potential to break a family on its on!
All of our societal problems originate from the breakdown of the family unit
Big time!...
Dude blamed his path on not wanting to lose his tax refund to child support ever again!
@@janeanndixon My dad AND my ex took that path. Deadbeat dads know to work under the table. I remember my aunt said, "If they do drywall, I'll never get a cent but if they go to prison I'll get 5 cents an hour."
My father was a functioning addict he reminded me of him. The strong do survive. Keep fighting sir! You got this!❤️ Love you and praying for you 🙏🏾
he’s so positive and honest. would love another interview w him soon!
The reality is a lot of that positivity is based on smoking a primo before. Good luck to this man nonetheless.
Positive and honest?????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really?
Didn't I see you down on Figueroa one night? Claire...is that you?
No he isn't 😒 he's a master manipulator and he knows how to turn the charm on, he's a crackhead 😒
Please bring him back, I’m sure we all would love an update. I hope he’s doing well.
Real talk
I like that he’s speaking what he wants to change about his situation into existence, and owning his mistakes. Taking accountability is a huge step. Looking forward to seeing him in 6 months. I’m rooting for you Kenny. You can do this. 💪🏾🙏🏽
@@GnosticCushite pardon nigga?😭
@@onetimeiateanindonesianguy6183 huh?
She a trick
👍🏾 exactly
Talking accountability but not taking actions is all wasted time. Your actions have to line up with what you say in order for me to believe a person
We definitely need a follow up on him…
He’s a smart man. He’s lived a LIFE. Brutally honest about it- DRUGS ARE REAL!!! And he tells it!!!!
I hope he can get it together in the next few months. Can’t wait to see where he ends up.
He's been fucking up for decades. I think it's pretty obvious where he's going to end up.
Agree....I also appreciate the honesty..hope he gets it together eventually ❤
……6 months at his age, experiences, and with his addictions? He’s going nowhere without God. Neither is his wife.
I don’t understand how he can look so good living like that for so long. When I clicked the thumbnail I thought he was a regular guy who went to to prostitutes, not a life long drug abuser/street person. Amazing.
I understand exactly how lol
Black don’t crack.
Me too!
Same
How don’t you understand..lol I have aunts and uncles who are crackheads till this day in their 60s to dang near 80 and they look young.
Looking at him I would never be able to tell he smokes crack honestly he seems to be level headed and self aware. He’s just trapped in his addictions to sex and drugs.
I can tell he smokes crack… he has that energy. I know because I grew up around crack smokers, my siblings and cousins… some weren’t completely broke down, and some were the stereotypical broke down kind of smoker… it’s the energy though that lets me know. God bless him, I pray he cleans up
I always crack up when I used to smoke crack.
Satan is real boo boo
One of my favorite interviews. His honesty is refreshing
I've been with my wife almost 10 years and never cheated on her. Even in high school I was with my high school girlfriend for 2 years and never cheated on her either I did a lot of immoral stuff in between but never cheated in a committed relationship
“Omertà” says it all.
Immoral stuff like what 🤔🤔🤔
@@lalva14 I don't think so.
@@littledetailsbydarby3240 Many women. A lot of drugs.
And you’re a man???
“I was a good dad” that’s something that helps him. I wonder what his kids think.
I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume they are embarrassed. Nobody wants a drug-addicted trick as a father.
Yeah self praise is no praise.
It's called self-delusion. He's only seeing the "good" parts.
Exactly!!
He quit working a job to hustle because the IRS took his income check for child support that he OWED !! Yeah ok "good dad ".
You cant see past your own suburban perspective
Their dads out making bank everyday hustling. Many kids will see past their dads vices, as everyone has their own
You think ur kids respect u with ur netflix and junk food addiction loool
In another life Kenny’s your high school English teacher. God damn circumstances. Honest man here. Can learn a lot from him. Thanks for this.
Hey Kenny, if u read this, My parents got married in May of 1979 and are still together. I asked them once how they stayed together so long and have been faithful. Communication and trust is what they said. Without either, any relationship won't work
Kenny was right when he asked how, you are right when you explain about your parents. The reality is that many men cannot communicate openly with their lady, because their lady would not understand. They would judge them in the reflection of how they themselves would live, and struggle to understand the realities of the male mindset. We are so different. I have someone, she understands me better than anyone I have ever met - close to being able to communicate openly, but there are still gaps. I fear becoming like Kenny, because except for the drugs, unemployment and prostitution his story is essentially my own. Moving a lot, decent income, few or no friends, feeling the world is a cold place, not trusting others, being well spoken and finding it difficult to reach everyone around me because my life expectations are different. Kenny made sense to me in so many ways. I hope that he locks that money down until he recovers if his property assets get sold up.
@@asiatravel2010 Go to therapy , this goes back to sexual discipline. And, women have the same feelings too. Just different degrees just like not every man thinks exactly the same. There are women u cheat like crazy and have commitment issues also. Sometimes ppl just want validation man or woman. Se)( is set)( does it really matter if it's 100 ppl or just one person. I feel it's more of the mind then it is anything else. And I think there's more consequences for women when it comes to this. If society looked at se)( for women the same way they look at men. More sexual discipline would happen. Take responsibility for ur actions. Or simply don't get into a relationship
@@jessicapace9689 A very modernist response, I can tell a lot about you by the way you speak and the way you spell online - you are from the generation that feel nobody has the right to an opinion or observation if it disagrees with your own. I agree, to disagree with you. I do not need therapy, because I am comfortable with the way I am and do not have issues in my life - perhaps you need therapy to learn tolerance and understanding of others, both men and women. It appears you have some growing to do, spring chicken. Best of luck!
@@asiatravel2010 yeahh ok lolol u can't know someone by one response lol and also u came with an issue, all I said was a suggestion. Everyone should do therapy even more so the ppl who think they don't need it. Ur saying ur having connection issues maybe that's a conversation with ur girl , in therapy. From what I know sometimes there's a phycological reason. Sometimes. A outside party who's can think critically can help with that gap. Sometimes the things that are holding us back from understanding more is simply the facts that we can be biased. Although I'm aware that a small portion is because no one can truly walks in the shoes of another. I was simply pointing something out. But, I don't think u need to get shot to understand that a bullet can hurt lol. Basically , u don't always need someone to experience what u experienced. Because even if u got shot and the other person got shot ur experiences will always be different. Aka there's always a small part where someone can't understand. XD we just don't have hive minds like ants , we just think separately
@@jessicapace9689 you are very opinionated, it sounds like the world needs to stand silent and listen to your unwanted opinion of everything in order to satisfy your ego. Anything that is counter to your mindset appears to be wrong. I am glad we have amazing interviewees here that are a little more realistic. No more responses from me, you disgruntled little citizen. All the best!
Kenny would be well off retired if he didn’t mess with his own products, but that’s part of the street. You have to numb yourself from the pain one way or another. Hope Kenny recover and help others like him.
Retired at 52? From what I just looked up average age of retirement is 62 in the US.
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman Ah yes you're right he did say that. Forgot about that.
I’m so glad you get that! I prefer to think of the money that flows through the drug world as play money, because I couldn’t have made money like that without using. You pretty much have to be crazy. Every time I tried to hustle sober, I’d just say, “No, sounds sketch.” “I don’t like the sound of this one. Pass.” Yes, slow money is better than no money, but it was so slow there wasn’t much point. Thankfully, that was in another lifetime now, but I remember it well. I used to beat myself up over how I could have been rich if I hadn’t used, but now I see the using and the hustling all goes together. There are a few notable exceptions, like there are to any rule but I think most have the same trouble I did.
@@brittaolson6550 Been there. It's a chasing your tail game. You reach a certain point, then shit goes down, then you gotta start from scratch. Man, am I glad to be working a normal, not great job instead.
He is talking to somebody deep in the back of his head
He is so right...I was born and raised in Culver City....my childhood was great in la..My mother came from Mississippi like him in the late 70s and worked at the Broadway department store and my dad worked for Northrup. It wasn't until I got on my own in my late teens; that I experienced the cold game that this man is talking about. Friends weren't really friends...women sleeping with your man..men having the pimpology mentality from the rap music influence. I partied in Hollywood all the time; and I saw that even important people in the industry stayed in crappy places,,like people's garages..and all had roommates...I am so grateful that I moved the Arizona when I was in my early 20s...I was able to enjoy life and not stress out and it wasn't dog eat dog...the men I met were so giving; and they sincerely cared. I was able to buy a condo at an early age; and still able to travel around the world. The main thing that I got from this interview was how hard it is to live in la..and I am so happy that my mother met my father who married her and took care of her and they were a team. Before he met my mother he was scammed out of money and used by women...my mother was lucky because she was a small town girl who met a wonderful man and survived la. He was one of those few who never cheated on her. They are still in la now and have each other...unconditional love❤
I like Kenny cause he is honest with himself! He knows is flaws and he realizes what is real about people and those streets. You will overcome this addiction just as you said you've done before Kenny. You seem to be a decent man. I pray that you get through this and don't look back. You deserve better as well. 🙏

I don't know which is worse, his sex or his crack cocaine addiction. He's kidding himself if he thinks that his kids feel he's a good father. Giving them money doesn't erase their knowing he's missing in action.
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman - I'm sorry about your experience growing up. It's unfathomable how the ravages of slavery & then decades of racism & discrimination can wreak havoc on communities of color. I appreciate you bringing the effects of environment on generations of POC to light.
Like wise, I'm very familiar w/ men who grew up w/o fathers in a war zone, just not L.A. My father grew up w/o a father & his family was dirt poor. He was sent away to live w/ the ol' grandparents. He married my Mom & they were married 48 years, although he always carried the baggage of his childhood every where he went.
He’s the worst kind of man.
To actually believe that he’s a good person is crazy to me. Even in how he speaks about being good to the prostitutes is creepy because he believes he’s doing good deeds.

It is insane how the cost of living is so different. And top hear folks talk about how they just blow the funds blows my mind. I struggle month month and thank God I have not backslid into my addiction. I have been sober since 1/16\2019.
I spend $1.4k a month on my 1 bed 1 bath apartment the next county over from these guys lol :(

I hope you stay strong and keep going! On a separate note - what state/county do you live in where a house note is $800????
Congratulations on your sobriety. I agree, blows my mind. My house payment is $710 a month here in Iowa. I have 1 teen driving and another going through driver's ed in March. Broke asf lol
Mine is 1800 I couldn't afford to be out there
S/o to the faithful men out here not cheating on they wife we are that small percentage
Would love to hear Kenny’s wife interviewed.... people might think differently of him.
yep lol
My thoughts exactly. It feels like he’s speaking his truth from his perspective about being a good father and fidelity.
I agree. He’s a man whose check was taken because of child support therefore he said he never worked again.
i can already tell that he is simply reaping what he has sowed.
Right. How are you entangled with another woman for SEVEN years??
One of my favorite guys you have interviewed! He was real and truthful, something different about him.
Real and truthful… he’s a trick who cheated on his wife for 8 yrs. Yeah he sounds SWELL
I dont understand when people say this was one of my favorites you interviewed. Mark has interviewed 100s theres way to many to choose! From being real,to absolutely heartbreaking stories!

What I learn from Kenny: at the end of the day it’s not what you make but it’s what you able keep.
Good one
Yes! I like how you put it
Are
Well said!
Rober Kiyosaki will teach you the same thing verbatim in rich dad poor dad
From a trick's perspective, this appears to be the most transparent. He has a deeper understanding of the streets. Hope he turns his understanding into healing and recovery. Once well he can help others.
This type of thinking would keep at lot of us women single. Side chick in an apartment and cruising the streets for sex with a wife at home. I would rather flying solo.
Ya. Because this is the type of husband you can't make the mistake of having unprotected sex with.... thats crazy!!! He should reconsider being anyone's husband in the future
💯
That's a strong spirit to be going through all of this and be able to talk about it clearly
He's fairly clean and coherent for a crack user.
Kenny you remind me of my father, you are so likeable! my father quit the crack and drug dealing overnight after getting his dream job truck driving. You look so good for your age. Replace the drugs with something positive 💖
Did your father quit his job so didnt have to pay any support for his kids too?
He paid for his side-piece and her two kids to live in an apartment for 8 years?! That dude is a super trick!
He was paying for his wife as well and they were both fucking him. Tell me, what's the difference other than his wife loving him and him having kids by her?
Trick master!

Facts 💯
Says how cold the city is but he is much of the problem.
Exactly. Like he’s an upstanding citizen.
What did you see that that makes him so problematic if your mom or grandmother grew up late enough than they more then likely drunk coke a cola when it legally had coke in it his demeanor is decent your father if you know him probably wasn’t going to put his marriage in jeopardy by revealing he paid woman for their companionship unless your saying your mom and dad never argued because I never heard of a happy marriage cheater
Bottom line he caused his own misery
This interview took me back to 3 years ago.
I had Awsome wife,Loyal with Most beautiful Ocean Blue eyes and I destroyed my marriage with another beautiful woman but she was a user and she used me,all happened because my brain was and still it is in my pants.
I dumped that girl but it made damage in my marriage.
Me and my Ex wife are Best Friend now.she forgave me but didn't forget.
I spent lots of money for that girl and she cheated on me like I cheated on my wife.
I was lucky I didnt/don't use drug I was smart enough to let that girl go,I did my best to save my wife and my marriage but it was late.

He said he stopped working and started selling drugs because taxes took his back child support but he was a good dad? Who cares if the child eats but he can pay for another woman and her kids for 7 years. He is like his father for sure. You wonder why his life is the way it is? It's like karma.He will be back in 2 months but he will be back where he is today in 4.
Thats a very light like statement lol

@@Obiamajoyisrmd I have heard of a cycle continuing. His kids should speak next on how his choices affected their life. They talk about childhood on this channel a lot. Like I said CHOICES. You hurt people in life you have KARMA. No way around it. Make good ones.
how many women you know that put the money away and actually take care of the child? Maybe 8% of women do what the money is for. Keep your judgement and let people live how they choose. You wouldn't go on this channel and pour out your deepest failures. I sure won't.
@@j.a.r.family2576 maybe you shouldn't think about having children if you don't want to feed them. Stop bringing kids in this world to SUFFER BY YOUR NEGLECT. Kids eat everyday just like you.
Well, I like Kenny… I’m not sure why cause he’s got some issues, haha! From these interviews and others that I watch, I’m learning quite a lot about how our childhood, our culture, our education, etc. shapes our futures. I’m a 56 yo white Christian woman with conservative values from a small town in the middle of nowhere. Grew up above the poverty line, but certainly not middle class. Raised by a single parent. I have no idea who my biological father is or even how my mom knew him. I have a black brother in law and my brother was gay (he died 10 years ago from an accidental fall). I love them both very much and would fight to my death for either one of them. I was molested as a young child and kept it secret until I was 24 yo. Married at 20, still married to him after 36 years. I’ve been faithful to him and fully believe he has been faithful to me. We have a beautiful family and have built an amazing life together. We don’t drink, do drugs, or party. We enjoy our friendships, of which we have many…. Most are couples that like us, have been together for 30+ years. Sometimes we dance in the kitchen, sometimes we argue on the patio. What is it about humanity that makes us so different? I was fortunate to have a great support system who helped me to heal from the sexual abuse. I’m blessed to have a godly husband who is an incredible man, father, grandfather, and friend. I just wish what I have was available to everyone. Yes, we all go through stuff…sometimes bad stuff. Yet all of us are affected so differently and our coping mechanisms seem to dictate the outcome of our lives…
Thanks for the interview, Kenny. I’m eager to hear more from you in a few months.
Your life sounds amazing.
His testimony is why I am building on my own . Most Men have no loyalty or self control. This channel teaches me so much about human pathology and I am a medical professional.
The beauty of a woman's face and body can be nearly impossible to ignore. We are coded like that. That's why female news correspondences look that way.
That’s stupid reasoning
@@wardisan10 I never said it was wise. I simply spoke "man-facts". I'm in the legal profession-you ever noticed the receptionists at large Los Angeles firms?

We have no clue if he’s telling the truth
Keep your head up Kenny, hope to see you in March.
How some men do not cheat on their wives? They respect them.
Doesn’t pay child support. Government takes his income tax for back child support. Stops working and paying taxes because god forbid his kids get any support. He’s talking about people there being disrespectful. He fits right in.
And he took care of another chick kids for 8 years 🥴
@@kayjay7201 yeah something isn’t adding up.
Exactly
And he said he was a good father. 🤷🏽♀️
@B4warned, thank you for making this comment. While I cannot judge Kenny, I can say that I have heard that some men will quit working to avoid child support, and I really did not want to believe it was true. He quit after one support payment. Wow! I would love to hear from the child’s mother to learn what she had to do to support her child.
Can’t wait to see him on the next interview , I just know he’s gonna beat the odds 💪🏼👏🏼
girl beat what odds of being a dusty ! lol 😂 this man hasn't worked since 1992 has 5 kids quit working because of child support and is still looking for prostitutes lmao😅
I love this bother!! I wish him all the success in his recovery!!
I dont think its fair to say that men and women are different like its excusing men who cheat. By his logic, if a woman cheats on a man, he'd excuse her behavior because he understands that monogamy is hard. Majority of the time men react very emotionally to being cheated on so men and women cant be that different. I dont think being faithful and wanting loyalty has much to do with emotions and more to do with respecting your partner, having consideration for the relationship and an understanding that actions have consequences. These traits are definitely more commonly found in women and I wonder why that is? It cant all be biological, surely societal expectations placed on men and women play a part.
Monogamy is not for everyone and thats ok but what I find to be very common among people who cheat is the total disregard and lack of respect they have for their partner. If you want to be polyamorous, do it! - cheaters dont want this, they want a partner who isnt allowed to see other people outside of the relationship, they have just as many loyalty expectations on their partner!
Sleeping with multiple people isnt the issue its the disrespect, dishonesty and the trauma it causes to the other partner thats the issue. It cant people years to get over trust issues from being cheated on, some people never get over it and carry trust issues with them throughout their relationships.
Also, Believing yourself to be different from another group of people and using that belief to excuse your negative behavior towards that group, perpetuates inequality which you're actively taking part in.
So well stated.
'93 was his last legitimate job because he didn't want his check going to his children. C'mon Kenny. 'Fess up.
Remember he said he was a good father. Guess paying to support them isn’t part of that.
He paid his child support, he just hustled and sold dope to do so. Unfortunately for him, it sounds like people misinterpreted what he said to mean he avoided child support.
But he was a good dad, and he came around?
I was looking for this comment because he spends hundreds on drugs and supporting other women but you that mad over child support so you won’t get a legit job? Make it make sense sir!
He has a major drug and sex addiction problem. He’a wrapped in vices.
You're from Jackson Mississippi so am I . I'm glad you made it out , I moved away a little over a year now. It's a war zone. Hope the best for you .
Shit doesn’t just happen! As adults, we CHOSE! Saying “shit happens” is a way to validate and not take responsibility for our choices! It may be hard, challenging or uncomfortable, but we can choose differently! Praying that this man makes better choices. I hope he is where he wants to be in 6 months!
Yes you're right to an extent but shit can happen around you and shit can be caused by people around you and you have no choice sometimes to get involved, so....... yeah shit happens. ❤️✌️
Obviously, we all chose. Some of us just have better options to chose from, than others.
Judge ya Momma
I can tell “shit” hasn’t “happened” in your life. As in unforeseen situations.
Like its always the guy? These hoes have been taught not to be loyal. Maybe you found a good woman, how long before the TV/social media corrupts her thinking? Marriage is dead until religion makes a comeback.
Ya. Because this is the type of husband you can't make the mistake of having unprotected sex with.... thats crazy!!! He should reconsider being anyone's husband in the future
THIS!
It’s so strange, you take people who’ve done some bad things to others and to themselves and you help so many people see the good in them, and the human side in them. I feel a lot of times people see other people out on the streets but don’t really SEE people you know? There’s no human connection or sympathy. But your videos really change the way a lot of us watching look at people who are struggling.
This came to mind because I see a lot of commenters frustrated with people saying he’s a good guy or a sincere guy and whatnot, but I just wanted to say that you are a really amazing interviewer and im so glad this channel exists
@@mcvic8273 what’s your Instagram?
I personally don’t see them as good ppl. I see them as damaged ppl. Once we hit adulthood we got to fight hard like everyone else to make it day to day and if you are out here destroying other ppls lives cuz you can’t get it together it makes you a bad person.
I like him. I respect all his perspectives.
((I just hope he understands that he can't be in an open relationship IF he thinks that Only 1 side of it is open. Maybe he is ok with the whole relationship being open. He never mentioned either way.))
You can tell he is from the south. Very charming, open, honest.
Hope he gets another interview in March.
This guy was sooooo genuine and honest and I can't help but like this man. Really want to see another interview!
I Pray that Kenny is overcoming this obstacle in his life..
He's really smart of knowing his situation.
The streets love no one, yet people flock to the streets for what they love. It’s a cold belief system.
No 👎 LOYALTY, they will sell you a dream because of low esteem and lacking, make u believe u need them. 💯 Never trust the streets, your best friend will turn on u! Stay F.L.Y First love your self ✌to all real mofos
For sure would love another longer interview with him
He will give his money to anybody but his own children. Smh
THAT! 😠
He refuses to work so that he can avoid paying support to the person caring for his children
I loved this interview, he was so OPEN.
It’s an urban legend that cops can’t lie if you ask them whether or not they’re a cop. If that was the case, undercover police work wouldn’t exist lol.
So with his city, county, state and federal benefits plus his two side hustles, he's burning through approximately 170K a year. Always interesting, thanks!
"170K, yeah right."
@@antoniobranch do the math...
@@skyking228 would love to see a breakdown of your math. Seems way off
@@SublimeSoundsASMR the dude said he could make on average $500 or more a day from selling drugs. You do the math. $500 X 365 = $182,500. So give and take a few thousand from his off days, it’s still around $100k to $150k or more.
@@TheTritan408 grossing 500 he probably nets 200 but that's in product he smokes up. Sounds like a lot but they never get ahead or have anything
Definitely have him back, I liked him alot. Very sincere man...
Are you an idiot? He's a scumbag.
It’s crazy how when it’s time to come up with some bogus excuse for cheating, all of a sudden everybody’s a psychologist and it’s all about instincts and chemistry. 😴 just say you’re a cheater.
Exactly! Men have been using this as an excuse for decades but the only people who are falling for it is MEN lol. Just because you're life is ruined with addiction doesn't mean you should ruin a woman's life.
@@megan236 acting like it’s so hard to refrain from cheating.. talking about “men and women are 2 different creatures” BOY PLEASEEE 😂😂
My libido is probably 10Xs higher than my mans. We could go 2 good rounds, and I'll still roll over and do my thing 3 4 5 times...then again during the day. I see handsome men constantly, men show interest often...even if a halfway lustful thought comes in my head, I walk away...because I choose to. Because the thought of betraying him and hurting him hurts me. F that dumb as biology theory. Even if its so, cheating is a choice.
I felt that 👌
@@prettycaramel9237 EXACTLY. I run laps sexually around my current partner and still don’t choose to cheat. Some things just aren’t worth it
I hope you can bring him back for another interview Mark! 😊
CAN’T WAIT FOR AN UPDATE💜 Kenny hang in there!!! You have the power that GOD has given you to shake this addiction! Change your environment and everything else will work out for you.
I feel his thoughts on what it’s like living in LA. I hope he overcomes his addiction and moves back home where life can be sweet and the air is sweet as well. I look forward to his visit in a few months. God willing, he’s gone clean and ready for a new start in life in the country. He’s a good man.
Hes completely evading responsibility in his life.
Kenny seems to be at the end and has made it up in his mind to try to clean himself up and get back on track
One of my favorite interviews ✊🏽
I like this guy and yet when he said his last job was in ‘92 and they took out child support, all I could think of was, “so this guy hasn’t paid child support since 1992?”
Rooting for you Kenny, your taking accountability that's the first step 💪🏾
Kenny is fascinating. Good conversation Mark.
He’s a very handsome man! I really hope he gets what he wants out of life! Very smart individual
Very intellectual and seems to have a good head on his shoulders. I hope he can stop this addiction and get his life back on track. God bless! 🙏
It's hilarious how so many people think that undercover cops have to admit to being cops if they're asked. Secondly, it would be entrapment if the undercover cop propositions him
I know! They wouldn’t have all those tv shows about vice cops, if cops weren’t allowed to lie. The show would be over before it started.
Come on Ken Dog we rooting for you. I know you want to change and I believe you can do it. And I am confident that God will see you through. Don’t let this life get the best of you. Prayers to you Mr. Kenny
Life is fake...
I love how he's still optimistic. I tried to stay that way when I was running it's hard. 3 Year's clean now from h
AWESOME 👏🏽👏🏽
@@frankie1012 :)
I appreciate his honesty.
I can only speak from my own experience but watching somebody addicted to crack try to get hard is absolutely the most unbelievably bizarre situation they know it's not gonna happen but they will not give up they will hold you fucking hostage It's fucking awful.
I used to do cocaine or meth sometimes. Cocaine will ruin your erection and meth usually does not. Both drugs increase the sex drive. The people on TH-cam that occasionally comment about cocaine don't bring that up very much (pun intended).
Ew.
You dealt with a crackhead? No disrespect at all i was just being curious
Lmao
I have never been with a prostitute, but even I know that police can do and say whatever they want! that's an old wives tail, same as if your buying drugs. you can ask them a hundred time's and they will say no every time and they will hem you up every time as well. they are allowed to lie, but if a citizen lie's to the cops, it is a crime. at least they think so!!!!!!!Good morning and have a great day SWU Family!
Excellent point. Whenever there’s a double standard like that, you know you’re not dealing with a benevolent institution, but an instrument of control, for the elites.
Another good interview. I wish him the best
I truly admire his honesty ...I really things get better for him ...plz do an update on him
Title shouldn’t be trick interview. Should be crackhead interview.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅
Right 🎯
@@jussaying6345 just saying… 🤷🏽♂️ wish Kenny the best tho. 🤣
Drug dealing Crack addicted trick
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He told the truth. He just kept it trill in his interview.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is Insanity. ‘Albert Einstein’
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman I’m not sure if you understood my comment. He talks of a lot more than just drugs.
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman I mean addiction is insanity . And I’m saying this from experience. The things addicts do from a rationale point of view are insane as hell . I’m not putting addicts down but for anyone who hasn’t experienced it it would be very hard to logically explain it to them
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman I’m not even talking about his addiction.
I like this guy and I appreciate his honesty. But he’s still a huge part of the problem, the buyers do irrefutable damage to vulnerable women and girls trying to survive on the street. It’s one man after another taking advantage of them, whether they’re straight up or not.
Do these women not do damage to themselves by being out there?
@@samspade8830 they have no choice
@@Wtfffffffffff27462 Everyone has a choice. Saying they don't have a choice is making an excuse for them, and that's not good.
@@samspade8830 who the hell wakes up one day and says mmh I'm gonna be a prostitute and risk dying or getting sick from sexual transmitted diseases certain circumstances lead to prostitute's doing what they do poverty and a lack of education is the main issue. They don't have a choice they're trying to survive
Please say it ain’t so u stopped working in 93’ cause child support took it You do know u have to take care of your kids u made Very Sad 😔
I was looking for this comment!!! He would rather take care of whores than his own flesh n blood!
This is not a REAL MAN
REAL MEN take care of their responsibilities
It isn’t so. A lot of people I think want to hear that, but that’s not what he said and definitely unlikely.
If you have a court order for child support and they start garnishing your wages and your tax refund, then you have two options - pay your monthly child support, or go to jail until you have a way to pay it. (Which is crazy because going to jail makes it more difficult to pay it in the future considering employment issues, etc.)
Once you stop paying it again, should whoever filed for child support inform the court, any police dept, any local sheriff, etc that it’s not being paid, then a warrant for your arrest is issued on site. It’s a horrible system, but that’s how it is, in every state. The law is not concerned with HOW you pay for it, or where the money comes from. But it must be paid. There’s no getting out of it.
So if this guy was not in prison, then obviously the child support was being paid - or he’s had a warrant for up to 18 years and somehow hid in plain site that entire time. Which we know isn’t the case because he talks about seeing his kids, making sure his kids were taken care of, and giving his kids money.
We have to know how the world works, the law, what he said, and consider what he didn’t say, and what he’s afraid to say on video.
He is most likely telling us that his 9-5 job wasn’t cutting it to sustain his life style and pay for child support (which is the case for too many men unfortunately). There’s no way you can live in Southern California, work in retail, pay child support (equal to a house note in other states), and afford his vices or addictions (prostitutes and drugs.) For an addict, there’s not enough time in the day to work two jobs and sustain that lifestyle. So getting another job isn’t an option they consider seriously.
So he telling us that he quit working a regular job to hustle and sell dope in order to do what he had to do and make ends meet.
Again, no one cares where the money comes from. If they are taking your tax refund then your going to jail the moment you miss a few more monthly payments. Child support is not a car note or a mortgage. You can’t even file bankruptcy and avoid child support. Paying child support is a moral and legal responsibility. But for everyone paying it, whether they know it or not, paying it is also a “stay out of jail” card. This guy is the type to know that paying it keeps him out of jail. You don’t pay your car note, you lose your car. You don’t pay child support after they garnish your income, then you lose your freedom.
@@thegagis6271 that’s not what he said.
This man is Beautiful. Thank you Mark for the insight in so many aspects
He’s a good guy. He needs to get sober and be that good guy every day.
He has still kept himself up while he is down… I hope he changes his life back and get on the right track .
Great interview Kenny! God bless you brother and here's to the future!
Makes 500& aday and no money to kids nowonder he has no friends
I really enjoyed this interview you should have them back very soon
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN. He reminds me soo much of my dad, and like he said drugs will fuck you up!!!! But I’m a dam good dad, some may not understand that but it’s real. I have hope and faith that you will pull through! Prayers and blessings to you King much love💙
I understand it. My father had problems with drugs, but he loved his kids. I wish I had always been so understanding. I hurt my father by judging him, because I felt hurt and pushed aside, at times. Early in life, I was the most anti-drug but, later in life, I developed the same mental health and chemical dependency problems he had. I got through it, but it’s too late to tell him I’m sorry and I understand. But I can help other people, so that’s what I’m studying to do. I want to give them what he never had, and what one good counselor (at the 5th and last treatment I went to) gave me, unconditional acceptance and understanding. Science is just beginning to really understand addiction. Soon people will know it’s not a party or a character flaw, and could happen to anyone. Blessings to you!
He still a good man in his own way, just needs to do some things a bit differently but at the end of the day the way he has respect for these women on the street says alot about him.
Police officers acting in an undercover capacity do not have to inform you that they are cops, even if you ask them point-blank, they can lie right to your face.
Reminds me of that BB episode LOL!
Had he decided to work and pay his child support, he may have ended up in a different space.
He paid his child support, he just hustled and sold dope to do so. Unfortunately for him, it sounds like people misinterpreted what he said to mean he avoided child support.
@@Obiamajoyisrmd if the Feds took his paycheck it means he had not been paying it and he owed back support.
@@updatedjustnow271 I agree that perhaps if he would have stayed on a certain path, his life would be different.
I’m talking more about this misinterpretation in the comments that suggest that he is a guy who quit his job to avoid paying child support and has been dodging it ever since.
If you have a court order for child support and they start garnishing your wages and your tax refund, first is they take all your money, so you’re caught up. After that, you have two options - pay your monthly child support moving forward, or go to jail until you have a way to pay it. (Which is crazy because going to jail makes it more challenging to pay it in the future, considering employment issues, etc.)
Once you stop paying it again, should whoever filed for child support inform the court, any police dept, any local sheriff, etc., that it’s not being paid, then a warrant for your arrest is issued on site.
It’s a horrible system, but that’s how it is, in every state. The law is not concerned with HOW you pay for it or where it comes from. But it must be paid. There’s no getting out of it.
So if this guy was not in prison, then obviously the child support was being paid - or he’s had a warrant for his arrest since 92-93, and still has a warrant up until this day - yet somehow managed to hide in plain sight that entire time. Which we know isn’t the case because he talks about seeing his kids, making sure his kids were taken care of and giving his kids money.

Again, no one cares where the money comes from. If they are taking your tax refund, then you're going to jail the moment you miss a monthly payment. If he gets stopped by the cops for anything, even a broken tail light, he would go to jail if the support wasn’t paid. Even if the child support order was issued in Mississippi, that database is national and instantly pops up in any state and every background check.
Child support is not a car note or a mortgage. You can’t even file bankruptcy and avoid child support. Paying child support is a moral and legal responsibility. But for everyone paying it, whether they know it or not, paying it is also a “stay out of jail” card.

They can take 60-80%. How u spouse to live off. 40% or 20% of your income. After a while. Doesn't matter if u a good guy or not. A lot of ppl just say. Fck it
Best of luck Kenny for once a story where the person isn't completely broken beyond repair. What a true parallel of how your childhood molds your future. The way he talked about his father and his childhood being pretty good. This alone says he can overcome his addiction it's like its for fun not a complete coping mechanism. Brilliant Mark showing the difference of someone being on drugs but with a different upbringing....without all of the trauma. I hope to see his next interview. Good luck 🤞 Kenny.
