Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying. That I want to be
Speaker 11: on the R and B two. Of course that would
Speaker 11: have been dope. But you know, I don't think I
Speaker 11: would have been singing background like Mario. You know what
Speaker 11: I'm saying, and tanking all that stuff. You know what
Speaker 11: I'm saying. I would have wanted to hold my own
Speaker 11: you know what I'm saying. Shout out to them. You

Speaker 3: singing background vocals on this tour?
Speaker 5: I think I do believe. Go ahead, Ricky, Yeah, I
Speaker 5: think it's dope.
Speaker 1: Oh, because I'm sure Usher and Chris Brown allow them
Speaker 1: to go out on stage and do something in between
Speaker 1: the real they absolutely that's when you get a blessing
Speaker 1: and the performer of the stadium or whatever, and then
Speaker 1: when people. Yeah, you give yourself so much exposure and
Speaker 1: then they say, you know, in a few years you
Speaker 1: keep building up your you know, building everything up whatever,
Speaker 1: then you could be doing the same, you know, some
Speaker 1: of the same things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, some people that might not know some of their
Speaker 3: songs now have seen them perform and now want to
Speaker 3: go buy their music too.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, You're introducing yourself yourself in
Speaker 1: front of some people that probably you know your music
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 5: So I always try to go for another audience.
Speaker 3: Yeah.

Speaker 3: cool dude, like.
Speaker 5: Catalog.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you go out on stage and kill it in
Speaker 1: an opportunity like that. You have no idea what you're
Speaker 1: setting yourself up for.

Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 5: Moving on.
Speaker 3: Meg the Stallion is Michelle Obama's latest guest on her
Speaker 3: IMO podcast and it's our former First Lady's first episode

Speaker 3: ain't good.
Speaker 5: Check this out.
Speaker 10: A lot of people want the fame without the hard
Speaker 10: work that goes into it, all right.
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, it's a little bit easier to do
Speaker 2: that though. Now you can go viral on Instagram and
Speaker 2: have a terrible song. Just the Internet has made it
Speaker 2: really easy to be famous, good or bad.
Speaker 5: I think you can tell the difference.
Speaker 2: Between people who really love what they do and people
Speaker 2: who just want to be famous.
Speaker 3: Well, she's absolutely right. I can't I can't say she's wrong.
Speaker 3: What y'all think anybody get famous nowadays? Yeah, you don't
Speaker 3: have to really have no talent. You just gotta have
Speaker 3: a hit song, some catchy with the jingle and.
Speaker 5: A dance.
Speaker 6: Get a dance on tickto don't get Dan had it.
Speaker 3: Don't get you a TikTok, dance behind me because you're
Speaker 3: definitely famous after that, all right, y'all?
Speaker 5: Last, but not least, Now we all know. Drake is
Speaker 5: known for showering people.
Speaker 3: With lavish gifts like her mass burking bags, expensive cars,
Speaker 3: large sums of money, and more. But while on a
Speaker 3: live stream, Drake made it clear that he doesn't consider
Speaker 3: spending money on somebody tricking.
Speaker 5: And here's what he had to say.
Speaker 10: Don't be afraid to do something for somebody. You know,
Speaker 10: I was saying the other night. I hate the term
Speaker 10: tricking because trick tricking has a negative connotation to it,
Speaker 10: like a doing something for somebody for something in exchange.
Speaker 10: It's just nice to make somebody else feel good, Like
Speaker 10: that might do something for you in life more than
Speaker 10: trying to do that watch, get that look for yourself,
Speaker 10: or do something for somebody else. You might feel a
Speaker 10: little more than dropping a watch to your wrist. You
Speaker 10: you blessed to be a blessing.
