I've met him in a Gym in Los Angeles and Craig is truly the nicest soul, incredibly nice and very smart man . The entire Gym liked and looked up to him .

I once use to talk to his daughter. He has a son and a daughter. Met him in Washington with poster of him and Arnold in his garage. He did not play bout his baby girl. I respected OG. He was a real one. Facts hands down
