In a recent interview, the actor said: “If government does not come to help me now, then I will die very soon.” At a point during the interview, Natty began to cry. “Will I be poor in New Masquerade and still be poor in life, and even now that I’m about to die?” he wondered, with tears dropping from his eyes.
