"I wouldn't abandon nobody. I would be lying if I said I was just talking to everybody"
About this Quote
Then he undercuts his own mythology: “I would be lying if I said I was just talking to everybody.” That pivot is the tell. It admits what the first line tries to deny: access is selective. He’s not speaking to the faceless “fans” in the abstract; he’s addressing specific people who know exactly what the message means - allies, rivals, gatekeepers, the ones with history. The tension is the point. He wants the aura of universal solidarity while preserving the reality of a closed circle.
Context matters: Puff’s persona is built on curated relationships - the mogul who turns camaraderie into an empire, who sells community but also controls the guest list. The quote works because it’s both an oath and a wink, exposing the social mechanics behind celebrity sincerity. It’s less “I’m for everyone” than “I’m for my people, and you’ll know if you’re included.”
