I'll never be afraid to show who I stand with and what I stand for. I'll never be afraid to choose a side. They don't scare me 1 bit. #Trill — Bun B (@BunBTrillOG) December 10, 2015

"I keep hearing a lot of people saying like, 'Well the election's not coming till next year so it's all good' but it's important to start stating your opinion and choosing a side very early because everybody needs numbers now," Bun continues.
