He told Tariq that Breeze was not smart, The decisions he made often put them all in harm's way, he was predictable and had a routine. Breeze also enjoyed watching Jeopardy. Kanan also told Tariq that Ghost knew Breeze’s routine and snuck inside his apartment after school and killed him before he could react.

Ghost and Tariq’s perspective in the finales, gives an explanation to why Ghost killed Breeze. Ghost asks Tariq to come to his apartment to talk about Tariq turning himself in. Tariq shouts out at Ghost and becomes emotional, he asks his father to tell him the truth about Breeze. Tariq tells Ghost that he would consider turning himself in for Ray Ray if he knew the reason for his father’s betrayal of Breeze. Ghost explains that he gave Breeze one last chance, stating that what Kanan could not tell Tariq and asked him to change his mind as Ghost wanted to move further out of the drug game. Breeze refused, this forced Ghost to draw his hand. Tariq would later use this tactic against Ghost in the series finale, before he pulls the trigger on his father, he explains he tried to give Ghost one last chance like he did Breeze.
