Not to say that if we didn't have it we wouldn't be so close, but we became that much closer. Once we started doing that, we uncovered a different layer of friendship. "I didn't think it would bring us closer, because we were already close. "That was a huge, huge, huge, 'Whoa' ," he recalls with a laugh.
Quincy was 23 at the time, and the rest is history. Though the mother-son duo had been practically inseparable since his birth in 1991, the moment that sparked the next level of their relationship was in August 2014, when they attended a concert at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California (at which Rihanna and Eminem performed) and bonded over cannabis. "She felt like purple was the color of life, beyond royalty," he explains.
