“Sometimes we just give all our time to these companies working these 9-5s and we don’t get to enjoy life,” he remarked. “Don’t get me wrong. A 9-5 is cool to work and everything, you do what you gotta do, but my time is up.”

Kingcjdukes went on to say how he wasn’t going to become a millionaire working for another company, thanking his followers for supporting his own business creating art and music.

“F**k this 9-5. We’re gonna be millionaires out here,” he added while beginning to open up a champagne bottle and stand on top of his car in celebration.
