Haleem describes himself as the typical class clown, and says that if anyone were to know the truth about him as a kid, it would be his older sister.
Haleem spent a lot of time “getting into trouble and trying to cover up the fact that (he) got in trouble,” and quickly gained a reputation as a bit of a talker.
Haleem’s life of asking the right questions of the right people is far from over, and his routine of “go to airport, get boarding pass, fly for six hours, go for wardrobe fitting and go to hotel to interview Prince,” is something he’s not willing to give up, at least not yet.
