In a new interview with The Undefeated, he shares that he was actually referring to Carl G. Jung, a psychiatrist.

"I was talking about men getting in touch with the female side of themselves. I wasn’t talking about sex, I wasn’t talking about being gay or straight. People should read [Jung]. I mean, it would be an interesting education for a lot of people.”
