In the old interview, recorded when Yul was nine years into their marriage, he detailed the sacrifices Queen May made for him before he became famous. He recalled meeting her in 1998 and marrying her in 2004. During his early struggles, she stood by him and believed in his potential.
“I got married to a lady who helped me a lot when, you know, before the fame came… There was someone who believed in me, who actually felt that, dude, you’re gonna make it,” he said in the clip.
