"I just want to take a second and say number one, Harlem Pride has been such an important fixture in our community for so many years and I'm so blessed to be here with you to celebrate the 17th annual Harlem Pride Festival. Shout out to Carmen, Harlem Pride, the entire team. I especially want to give a special shout out to my best friend, Mr. Dave Bridgeforth, who put all of this together and has been asking me for many many years to come out perform for y'all and honestly I've just been a little scared. So we let all of that go. We're gonna break out. I'm just talking so I can catch my breath. I haven't performed on stage in this way in eight years so I'm just so grateful that it's with y'all and it's with family."
