He continued, “I really loved a person. I experienced that and I know what that feels like — and some people never get that in this lifetime. So, I know that I am completely blessed.

The New Orleans native, who attended the 2017 BET Awards with the Matrix star, told the radio host, 44, that he has “literally never been in love” in the way that he was with Pinkett Smith.
