"I told him -- you know, we talked. We talked actually not too long ago, we talked on the phone," Reed told WJZ-FM in Baltimore. "He actually reached out to me, texted me. I tried to text him back, but the message exploded after 12 seconds, so I had to call him ... and he's just apologized and what not. But I told him, 'You know, it's good, man.' "
