Here are the 10 most unbelievable quotes from his Kris interview.

Reviewing the Infamous "Imma Let You Finish" Debacle: "The last thing I'd want to happen to my daughter is for some crazy drunk black guy in a leather shirt to cut her off at an awards show. That’s the last thing I would ever want."
Half-Remembering When He Met Kim: "It might have been when she was Brandy's assistant and we were in the studio and she brought us something to drink. Or it might have been during Brandy's video shoot."
