And I was just think about 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:33.000 everything I've been through financially, spiritually, emotionally, physically, everything, and 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:35.040 just put it into a project. 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:36.200 You think it's worth it? 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:41.320 Yeah, only because I feel like everything I've been through 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:46.119 changed the trajectory of my family, so it's worth What. 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.200 Do you think? I mean? 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.840 There was a period of time you also very athletic. 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.400 Did you ever think you would be a professional athlete 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.480 or was it just I. 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.720 Did for a very short period of time. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.200 Yeah, until I started seeing what goes into that, I 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.320 didn't want to really do it, like working out every 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:07.080 day or having somebody monitor my life. I just so 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.360 I think that was like it was disappointing to my 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.520 family that I didn't do sports, but I found a 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:15.519 other avenue. 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.200 So were you super passionate about it though for a 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.320 period of time, like, cause it is it does take 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.120 a lot of dedication. I was talking to somebody about this, 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.200 like when your parents push you to do something that 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.120 you're good at, because a lot of successful athletes they 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.480 did have people behind them that were kind of like, 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.560 you know, sometimes it's like, do I try to force 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.440 you to do something that you have a talent at? 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.679 Or is it okay to tell kids sometimes you ain't 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:39.560 got to worry about it. 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.639 I mean I was forced into it and then I 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.320 loved it. So like from six seven years old all 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.320 the way up till I was like fifteen sixteen, I 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.400 played basketball and football. But then when I didn't have 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.359 that motivation no more, when my dad passed and stuff, 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.560 it just was like life life hit me and it 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.720 was cool, Like I just I knew I had to. 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.560 It was more so take care of my responsibilities, then 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:03.920 do what I love for. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.080 I saw your interviewing yourself talking about why you know 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:09.040 why your name is skill? 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:10.639 A baby? So is this going to be a real 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.320 series of you asking yourself. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.280 Questions every Friday? 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.160 Every Friday? What made you decide to do that? 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:21.560 I just just how I made the album. The first 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:25.040 thing I looked up was some of my favorite album rollouts, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.000 so I had, like before I had the music, I 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.000 had the rollout on my album, Like in my notes 0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.079 and everything I wanted to do. Some things I couldn't do, 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.120 but a lot of stuff I knocked down. So I 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.200 just wanted to stay consistent with my rollout in the 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.600 theme of my project. So I just wanted to everything 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.080 I do to be fun and creative. 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.520 Yeah, so do you have like it's going to be 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:51.640 one question every Friday? 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.440 Yeah, that you answered, I had a whole interview. 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.600 But I feel like it'd be more fun for me 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.800 if I just strung it along a little bit and 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.880 just let everybody get one question at a time then 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.040 trying to force a whole, big, long piece of content. 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.440 I feel like it'll live better if I did one 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.160 question at a time and made people want more. 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.160 It feels like everything you decide you want to do 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.039 is something that you kind of study, Like now that 0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.520 you're acting. I see you took acting classes and a 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.159 lot of people will try to just you know, you 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.760 have a name for yourself and you can get into 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.960 some roles, but you took it seriously enough to say 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.400 I'm going to take these classes. Yeah, And it feels 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.440 like that's a skill of baby thing. Like anytime you 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.039 decide you want to do something, you go really hard 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.880 at it. What was it like for you taking acting classes, 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.200 because it could feel a little weird to try to 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.000 like jump into character and have to you know, I 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.120 want to know what that was like. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.839 Lady had me jump around like a kangaroo or a 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.640 time doing jumping jacks. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.039 I need to see that video. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:57.120 Like acting classes is a lot like my teacher wasn't 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.120 playing like she was just make you get down to 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.440 do push ups if you don't do it right, make 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.800 you perform your lines while doing jumping jacks, all type 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.680 of stuff. Just getting into a row. And that was 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.360 like that was like when I first got in class. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.480 It was on Zoom and I was at the Jurys though, 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.040 and she was mad at me and she wouldn't take. 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:18.200 Me cause you're not taking it to you at the 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.960 jewelry store. You're supposed to be in class. 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.840 But I really know what it was like. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.400 All the class in tilled, so I just was like 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.839 Rocket actually had me on there and I got on 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.559 Zoom and they like, where are you at? I actually 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.280 went to the back of the jury store, had to 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.880 stop what I was doing and everything, But it was 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.840 fun like just seeing where I started and where I'm 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.240 at and just looking at myself tapes and tapes I 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:43.920 did in class to where I'm at now. 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:45.599 It was it was a lot. It was fun. 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.800 So you did in person classes too? Are they all 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:48.360 were on zoom? 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:49.839 Yeah? I had to fly to LA and do in 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:50.640 person classes. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.680 Was it just you? Yeah, okay, it's private. 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.719 It's funny because I've seen some like other artists that 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.880 have taken classes with other people in it. It's always 0:05:58.880 --> 0:05:59.839 funny to hear their stories. 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:00.640 What it's like. 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.800 I went one class it had people in there and 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.479 they had to perform and stuff. But she liked doing 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.000 my stuff private, so it was cool. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.320 What was that type of feedback that she was given 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:13.520 to you during that time? 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:15.520 It depends on what day. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.880 At the beginning, she just had a lot, a lot, 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.159 a lot of feedback or what I had to like, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:26.400 you know, like if you jump into something, you come 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.240 to radio, you learn how to do drops or whatever, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:31.960 and you learn how to speak properly on what you 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.200 can and can't say. I had to learn everything about acting, 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:36.919 so I had to learn my marks. I had to 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:41.880 learn camera angles, close up shots, why shots, what I'm 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.279 supposed to do, how my body language supposed to be. 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.840 So it's so much I had to learn and just 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.200 my first part was the tech technicalities of it, like 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:58.000 marks and stuff like that, different shots and verbage. And 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.919 then you got into act acting. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.560 And so you love that. Now this is a lane. 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:07.920 Acting is a thing where like all the actors love 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.160 it because they did it as a child. I love 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.920 it because I can show my range and people be 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.560 so shocked to see I can act. So it's only 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.600 fun for me when I'm playing a role that people 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.760 can Actually, I don't want to be an extra or 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:21.600 anything like that. 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.000 I remember early on meeting you and I was like, 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.200 he's so shy, like just and things have changed so much. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:29.880 Just you feel like you've overcome. 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.080 I feel like I'm matured a little bit. I learned 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.760 who I am as a person, I think, so I 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:37.880 feel like I just grew. 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.360 So I want to ask you this because you know, 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.440 there's common phrases like money can't buy happiness. People always 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.280 say that, right, but money can't buy happiness, but it 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:52.160 does change how you experience it. And you've talked about 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.560 just basically being happy to be in this position. Obviously 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.280 the price of fame has been expensive in many ways, 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:04.240 emotionally financially for sure, and the sacrifices that you've had 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.960 to make. But when you think about it, people tell 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.440 you money can't buy happiness. Do you think that that's 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:13.640 true or do you think some people say more money, 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:14.920 more problems. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:15.880 More money, more problems. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.600 But sure, I think money can't buy you happiness, but 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.960 money can fund your happiness. I think money is necessary. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.120 I think like in the world we live in, everything costs, 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.440 and everything you love to do cost So money is 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:38.240 not the happiness, but it's a tool to happiness if 0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.040 you use it the right way. So I don't think 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.800 you could buy someone's happiness, but you could fund it 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:48.360 like you can. And it just depends on what you 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.400 what makes you happy though, Like I'm happy as when 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.880 people around me are happy. They happiest when they can 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.440 do what they can do, like they love to do. 0:08:57.960 --> 0:08:59.760 For me, to help them do what they love to do, 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:01.120 have to have money. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:05.040 So I saw you buy a house for our family. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.320 Can you just share to me, like what happened? Like 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.600 what was going on in your head? You know you 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.600 saw them, Like, just explain what was behind all of that, 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:16.559 like the full story. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.280 We actually do that a lot though, It's just that 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:22.600 timing got broadcasted because we partner with the mayor. But 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.040 I didn't put girls through college, did everything. Just what 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.520 I like to do with my money, I'll try to 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.640 give back. If I make a lot of money, I'll 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:34.800 try to give a little bit or something back to 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.040 the community because they helped me come up. So I'd 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.640 just rather do that every year at least two three 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:41.240 times a year. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.840 Do you have an organized like nonprofit or how do 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:47.040 you determine that or. 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.000 You just like I don't come. 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.120 We gotta get this together, right because you got to 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.800 do that, because then at least, like. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.400 I donated like a million dollars, like donated like all 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.280 over the years, probably over a million dollars. 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:00.920 I don't got no, no, I don't do. 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.960 It for that, I know, but I think that like 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:04.800 we were just talking about money, but I'm non proper. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.960 You don't have to still be like public about it. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.959 But I think also for your own taxes, you might 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.720 as well, you know, be able to benefit from that. 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:13.360 That's all I'm saying. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:15.160 It'll be the smart thing to do, for sure, But 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:20.320 I just I just I don't be planning to do it. 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.080 I'll just be winging it. So like if I buy 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.560 five hundred pair of shoes. I'm just bound fire hundred 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:27.200 pair shoes if I do a gun by back. I 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:29.960 just thought it that day, and I just donated to 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:34.599 the city. I don't be looking for like anything in return. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.439 From I'm just trying to say like an organized You 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:42.160 understand you're talking about financial literacy and also making sure 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.800 that it's just because I love the fact that it's 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.679 what you're passionate about and what you want to do 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.200 in real estate and investing and helping people and education. 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.400 But I do think like having that initiative, and then 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.960 at least the more you say off your taxes, the 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.280 more you can give. I would always rather give people 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.959 my money than give it back to the government, for. 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.600 Sure, And that's the smart way to go about it. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.760 My managers tell me that all the time. I just 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.439 haven't invested in my mind into doing that. I really 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.800 need to though, I really do need to do that. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.640 Now, let's talk about the trailer that you did with 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:18.160 fifty cent for this project. So you and fifty cent 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:19.120 have gone really cool. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:20.520 So you're doing power Origins. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.599 Yeah, I'm in power Woo. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.360 That's a big deal. That's listen. 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:26.960 I cannot and First of all, you know, I watch 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.680 all of the whole Power universe, so I'm looking forward 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.040 to seeing that. So what's your role on Power Origins? 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.400 I'm I don't want to give it away because I 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:38.199 don't even know if I. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:38.560 Could do that. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.440 Okay, all right, I didn't know if it was you know. 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.040 Yeah, I can't do that about you, though. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:50.719 I always got it. Yeah, how did you do in? 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:51.920 Fifty gets so cool? Though? 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:56.400 Oh, me and fifty got cool just in passing over 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:02.920 the years. I think the first time I met fifty, 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:07.800 I was in Vegas somewhere, and no, the first time 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.960 I met fifty, my guy from New York introduced me 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:11.280 to him. 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.040 His name TV TV, a good friend of mine. Real 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:14.640 cool guy. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.600 TV introduced me, like, skill it, I want you to 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.280 beat fifty like he introduced me to fifty at NICKI 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:28.280 Minaj and fifty was somebody from Detroit, his pops. And 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.360 then we just got to kicking it. The next time 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.880 I seen Fifty, I was with Little Meach And then 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.760 the next time I seen him, I was it was 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.480 Super Bowl and then we just kept building and building. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:42.400 Then I got with Rocket. We started doing the acting thing. 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.480 I started going to acting classes. For like a year 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.880 and a half Dan records like, yeah, I'm gonna just 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.080 tell fifty out of nowhere. 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.160 Then fifty is like huh. 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.560 He started sending myself tapes and stuff, and that's how 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:54.679 I got into acting, and me and fifty just been 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:56.360 closer since. 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:57.040 So it's been like. 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.959 Two three years. So we've been building connection over the 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.440 past two three years. And it don't have to be 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.959 broadcast because it's just that's like one of my mentors, 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:11.320 just like any of these guys like I just I 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.080 value with their opinions, Like you want a person like that. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:17.319 It don't have to be no financial gain or anything 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.480 like that. I just really cherish his friendship. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.880 You know a lot of people have compared like certain 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.800 situations you've been in two fifty cent and felt like 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.280 he because I also thought that too. I was like, 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.200 I'm sure he's been giving you, like some advice because 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.320 he's lived through a lot of things as well, and 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.680 it's a blessing. And I know, I want to say 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:38.000 that when I saw what happened to you, I just 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.000 am happy, Like we were honestly up here like this 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.400 is wow, this is crazy, but we saw that you 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:47.560 did that prayer and then a few days later there 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.000 was an incident where you know you were shot, but 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.080 thank God you're still here with us. But a lot 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:57.000 of people feel like that prayer is kind of something 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:00.880 that maybe did play a part in saving you. Did 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.120 you think that too, like because you posted it online 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:04.800 and that came up afterwards. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.800 I mean, I pray every day, so I don't think 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:11.040 one prayer or another was like more valuable than the other. 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:12.240 I try to pray every day. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:14.160 I got a timer on my phone to pray, So 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.880 I think that prayer I only put it online because 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:19.760 I feel like God wanted me to do that, Like 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.600 something in my heart was like put this prayer online. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.680 People need to be prayed for it, and they need 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.280 they needed from a voice from my perspective of young God. 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:33.960 That's I'm a street guy, but I'm in irrelevant, Like 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.160 I'm a relevant guy and people look at me in 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.040 the light where I'm cool. So I feel like kids 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:44.000 and everybody else needed that voice to make this a 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:47.600 cool thing and like not shy away from a relationship 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:48.040 with God. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.200 So I don't think that prayer. Maybe that. 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.280 Online and that's what it was. 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:01.040 All my prayers saved me. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:05.240 I think The thing I loved the most about after 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.640 I got shot was all the prayers that people sent me, Like, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.480 you know, like I had a DM full of probably 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:15.520 a million dms of people just I just felt loved 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.880 and appreciated and people felt like they was part of 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.480 the situation. And it's like I hated who did that 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:26.800 the skill and praying prayers up for skilling people sending 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.680 me passages and from the Bible, and it just it 0:15:30.720 --> 0:15:32.520 felt really good, like I fell loved. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.400 And then a couple of days later you popped out 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.120 at four two Doug and they went crazy when you 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.520 went on stage. How do you get rid of like 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.240 anger over a situation like that, because that's hard too, 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.200 like to move to a place where you're like everything 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:52.120 I have going on is too valuable, and because I can't, like, 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.560 you know, the first thought I'm sure is when you 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:56.760 come out. 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:01.120 Yeah, I I don't think my My my thoughts was 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:03.200 like everything I have too valuable. 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:04.480 I felt like. 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:12.200 People don't realize just the hardest part about going through situations, 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.560 whatever it is, getting shot, getting into it, people anything, 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.160 it's walking away. People think it's easy to walk away. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.800 Like as a man, my pride is everything so walking 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.680 away was actually harder than not walking away, like I 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.400 could easily do something to somebody. I'm not a scary person. 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.200 It's just like walking away that took everything. 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:32.640 I agree with that, So. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.200 People don't understand that. People look at you like, yeah, 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.240 you just type of way you're scary if you walk away, 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.280 I'm really not. I'm really just taking everything out of me. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.920 This was the biggest thing I could do. This is 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.920 the biggest, the hardest choice I could make. So I 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.600 feel like it was a hard choice for me to 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.640 remove myself from certain situations, but I felt like it 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.240 was beneficial for more than. 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.280 Just me because on the trailer for the Price of Fame, 0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.440 you talk about feeling like you lost everything at a 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.920 certain point and that people really gave up on you 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.439 in your life. And the thing is, from the oyside 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.960 looking in, we wouldn't think that right because I've always 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:10.280 felt like skill a baby gets a lot of love, 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.720 even from like you said, behind the scenes, things that 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:16.080 aren't publicized. There's people that they meet you and they 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:19.280 take a liking to you. I think automatically just your 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:22.480 whole demeanor. You know how you are, and you're talented 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:25.480 as an artist, so of course people would want to 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.880 be around, but there was a period of time when 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:29.720 you felt like you were deserted. 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.520 Yeah, probably like inside out not outside. Then I always 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.920 get love from people that don't really know me. It'd 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.240 be like certain situations from people that know you, or 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:45.840 it be situations that you'd be like somebody had judge 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.960 you for a situation and they know you, so you 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.240 will look at them like, you know me, why you 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.760 know I wouldn't do this, But it's something to talk 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:01.200 about or something like that. Like if I say Azelau 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.119 was doing this, but I know you're not like that, 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:07.640 but it's conversational piece. People will keep talking about it. Yeah, 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.320 Like it's more gossip if I say she did the 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.480 wrong thing and the right thing. 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.480 So there's more stuff like that. 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.639 You know, when you talk about how hard it is 0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:19.719 to walk away. I think it's so important to stress 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.040 something like that for everybody, right, because a lot of 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.960 time our egos do get the best of us in 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:27.320 situations and we want to prove things to people who 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:30.480 then you prove something and then now then they start 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.480 calling you dumb for making a move to retaliate against 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.639 somebody who did something to you and at the end 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:37.320 of the day, you got to like move and do 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.680 like it's chess like thinking long term, and like you said, 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.240 that is I think the strongest, hardest thing to be 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:45.840 able to do. 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.320 Yeah, But I think like in certain situations with me, 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:54.000 with fifty, with anybody that I'm around, anybody that doesn't 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.520 like us or has something against us, it hurts them 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.480 in the long run because you can't come in no 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:02.840 room that I'm in, you know what I'm saying. 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:04.000 So it's like it. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:08.159
