Why is he laughing he so rude

[@kashmeremajesty2163]

It seemed like everytime she was interviewed, probably even til this very day...... people laugh at her squeaky speaking voice even after she explained why her voice is like that so many times. But as soon as she sing, it's a whole other expression. She was young, beautiful, talented, a natural beauty from head to toe, and just at the wrong place because she should never have failed for Dr.Dre at all. I am pretty sure the other men flirted with her and shown interest......but Dr Dre was not the right choice
