Daniel became teary eyed during his acceptance speech as he said: ‘Man this took it out of me – I gave it everything.
He said: ‘Can you hear me now? All right, cool. We got this. Thank you for the accolade, thank you to my mom, my sister, my niece. Yo, I used to listen to a song, I used to listen to a song before every speech. Thank you for “The game is mine.’
