17 Things We Learned From Wale's Larry King Interview

Folarin had a lot to say.

After releasing his critically acclaimed Album About Nothing, Wale spoke to Larry King about, well, a little bit of everything.

The MC, who recently opened up to MTV News about losing his child and dealing with anxiety, spoke to King about why rap is ready for a gay MC, why he isn't into politics and why he wants to work with Vince McMahon.

Here are some more interesting things we learned from watching Wale's interview with King.
