In the interview with Dazed Magazine, Red went on to compare rapping to professional wrestling, especially when it comes to handling the pressure between who you are at work and who you are in the privacy of your home.
“Rapping and wrestling are pretty much the same,” Red said. “It’s not quite acting, but it’s kind of acting too, right? Because when we go home and take off all our jewels and gold and remove the costumes we wear, we then have to go right back to reality with our families.”
