In a recent interview with Vlad, comedian Aries Spears shared candid thoughts on friendship, success, and loyalty, candidly drawing a line between himself and former NFL star Michael Vick. Spears criticized the idea of constantly supporting "bum ass" friends who may hinder one's progress, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries. Referencing Jay-Z's stance on saying no to family financial requests, Spears highlighted the slippery slope of perpetually sharing wealth.
Addressing Vick's controversial history of surrounding himself with problematic friends—which contributed to his downfall and bankruptcy—Spears firmly stated, "I'm not Michael Vick. If I find $20 million, I'm not sharing with my friends." He argued that true friends are those who stand by you during dark times, jokingly defining a real friend as someone who'd help "bury the body." Spears also praised the genuine friendships he's developed through his career, contrasting those with superficial connections. Ultimately, Spears advocates for loyalty but insists on clear personal limits to protect one's success.
