Andy Dosty further throw a challenge to him asking if he can really quit and here is what he said again.
“I can, so there is a plan the way I plan my life, I’m like when you get to 50 you will drop the mic , yh I will still be cracking jokes definitely but it is not going to be like a professional thing so if you see me doing a gig maybe it’s probono but I will not charge anybody from performing”, he said
