Speaker 1: Uh yeah yeah, yeah yeah, if anything. When the last
Speaker 1: time you slept with one of your exes? Because you
Speaker 1: laughing a little too, well, yeah the last time when
Speaker 1: we were when we were two girls, like four years ago.
Speaker 1: I know your and your d m s though now
Speaker 1: my ex is blocked. Damn why all of them? I
Speaker 1: ain't really never had a lot of exes, only had
Speaker 1: one other girl and it was a bad breakup. I
Speaker 1: heard that key word other right, Yeah you said, was
Speaker 1: it a bad break up? Yeah, it wasn't no bad
Speaker 1: break up, he just got bad, like the big, the big.
Speaker 1: I felt like she cheated on you or something, because
Speaker 1: like when I listened to some of your songs, you
Speaker 1: mentioned getting cheated on a lot, So did she? All
Speaker 1: my song is gonna be back like my my personal
Speaker 1: expels like what I feel like other people go through too.
Speaker 1: So I just I ain't know we got cheated, well
Speaker 1: not to my knowledge, I ain't got cheated, but you
Speaker 1: have cheated about. Oh did you get caught? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not really, I'm not really sneaking like that. That's all
Speaker 1: guys say, how did you get you know, the regular lot?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying going through phone like that,
Speaker 1: Like just you've never been like on no exposed like
Speaker 1: a girl exposing what's going on over there? Stop dropping
Speaker 1: rolling passes. But let's talk about the video for that song,
Speaker 1: because in the video you have India love and she's
Speaker 1: getting married and you stopped the wedding and she runs
Speaker 1: off with you. Right, So that's the interesting thing because
Speaker 1: then I'm made me start thinking, Right, sometimes we end
Speaker 1: up with somebody that's not really the person who we
Speaker 1: want to be with, but we're just with him because
Speaker 1: we can't be with the person who we really like. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for the video, that was the the video that was it,
Speaker 1: that was the Well let me do you have? You
Speaker 1: have a girlfriend now? Right? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, and you
Speaker 1: spoil her and get her arcands of jewelry. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: I'll be forgetting that. I've been making songs about stuff,
Speaker 1: you like, hold up a kind we kind of private though,
Speaker 1: That's why I'll be We're very private. M Why is
Speaker 1: that because I'll just be trying to like just separate,
Speaker 1: like I feel like the industry is just so like consuming.
Speaker 1: I'll be wanting to keep like the family, like everything
Speaker 1: close to me, like I didn't like because I feel
Speaker 1: like me I could take everything like me of something
Speaker 1: said about me, I could take it. I got to
Speaker 1: skin you feel But the only way you can really
Speaker 1: get to me for really saying something about like my
Speaker 1: my family, like people that are close to and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. So it's like I'd rather just me being
Speaker 1: a spot like instill like my whole family. Well, Valentine's
Speaker 1: Day is coming up, So what's a good thing that
Speaker 1: you someone should do for the person that they're in
Speaker 1: a relationship with these val times? They like it's probably
Speaker 1: gonna be like a little bit more special than the
Speaker 1: other ways. I just did like a huge deal, so
Speaker 1: ship right now? They lets she always been born? Don't
Speaker 1: she always been here? But I got a little more
Speaker 1: spoiler with right, all right, this makes some investments. What
Speaker 1: y'all buying an island? Now? I already already got invisibly,
Speaker 1: I got like properties and look like a lot of property.
Speaker 1: Like people be thinking like this is not my friend
Speaker 1: rodeo like I've been I've been like hey music, like
Speaker 1: you know, I've been signed the stuff before before all this,
Speaker 1: Like I've been making money, so I've been got, I've
Speaker 1: been asked. But you know, there's a difference between making
Speaker 1: money and then really like being like okay and then
Speaker 1: did the damn thing. So yeah, when did you make
Speaker 1: that transition from okay, I can survive off of this too.
Speaker 1: I'm really prospering. I feel like I did that in
Speaker 1: twinter seventeen because I like, like I said, my first well,
Speaker 1: twinter eighteen, I saw my first deal, my record record deal,
Speaker 1: and I was just like making a lot of money.
Speaker 1: So I stopped like buying property, and uh, I had
Speaker 1: built I built a state in Mississippi that I own
Speaker 1: and stuff like that I had. I got like a
Speaker 1: food trigger restaurant, twill buses, sprinters and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So I do like a lot of different stuff that
Speaker 1: I was just smart with my money. When I first
Speaker 1: start like giving money, were like really I had got
Speaker 1: out my little uh stuff that I wanted to do
Speaker 1: out the way like good and in my career. So
Speaker 1: after that, I just thought like investing and I was
Speaker 1: just like kind of burnt out don't know, like the
Speaker 1: cause and ur like that. I think that's interesting. How
Speaker 1: did you know how to do all those investments because
Speaker 1: that's for a lot of people, not things that they
Speaker 1: think about. I feel like I just watched I just
Speaker 1: watched the people like mistakes. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I try to like just do better. You know I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie. When I first started your money,
Speaker 1: so I started like just doing all of the normal
Speaker 1: stuff a young dude do with money, like just spending crazy.
Speaker 1: But I just got out of my system, like I
Speaker 1: just keep going, like all the stuff I wanted back
Speaker 1: when I was like you know, you know, playing with
Speaker 1: fancy cars and all the you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I used to I wanted to get that. But once
Speaker 1: I got that, and I was just like, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: over right now. So I tried to get it out
Speaker 1: the way earlier. That's the first thing you brought for
Speaker 1: like a girl that you were dating, like something nice
Speaker 1: to y'all that that's a hard question because I only
Speaker 1: had money with one girl, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: She's the only one, like I was broke with like
Speaker 1: my other relationships. So but I think I bought her
Speaker 1: Rolex like yeah, I think of like twe Tweter band
Speaker 1: back when I first when I first got sat and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know it's crazy because because then
Speaker 1: broke gets when you're struggling, those do mean a lot,
Speaker 1: like when you know ain't really got no money, but
Speaker 1: he still will buy you something like I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: she didn't get mad at me because I had because
Speaker 1: I was I had signed as little artist, and I
Speaker 1: had about her one of these carter yep um I
Speaker 1: had about her carter of yea, and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give. I'm gonna give my artis the old
Speaker 1: rolling you know what I'm saying. And she will not
Speaker 1: get that more to people like no, but that that's sentimental. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't read gett she still you got the first
Speaker 1: look your rings about her like that don't even shine
Speaker 1: up for real because it's it's a sentimental value in
Speaker 1: the in the in the gift, not you know they're hers.
Speaker 1: How you got an Indian give the damn watch look
Speaker 1: I had. I was like, but she might not want
Speaker 1: to wear that expensive as And I felt like I
Speaker 1: remember this. That the first thing he got me when
Speaker 1: he got side. I finally got some money. Yeah, I got.
Speaker 1: I got a problem with like, I got a problem
Speaker 1: with like being like compassionate, like I just I showed love,
Speaker 1: like you know, people have different live languages. I showed
Speaker 1: love in different ways. Like it's hard for me like
Speaker 1: to be really like but we know gifting is a
Speaker 1: love language for you because you have no problem giving
Speaker 1: out gifts. Okay, yeah, I really I love that you
Speaker 1: even know what love languages are, like music. He got
Speaker 1: about that, right. But it's also interesting because then you
Speaker 1: also say at the same time that you don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of like I guess um the fact that
Speaker 1: she's so emotional about something that means something to her,
Speaker 1: and you know, I feel like you would, out of anybody,
Speaker 1: understand that more than the average guy. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I just it's hard for me because I ain't really
Speaker 1: grow up like just being in like a super love
Speaker 1: and love and family. Like when we just showed like
Speaker 1: it was like love that it was just tough little
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, So they kind of
Speaker 1: like lead it out to me. And now the only
Speaker 1: way I like show my little like it is by
Speaker 1: like the stuff that I do because I feel like
Speaker 1: I knew my mama loved me, but it's like I
Speaker 1: knew she loved me by the stuff that she did,
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, put clothes on my back,
Speaker 1: that stuff like that. Machine never just used to tell
Speaker 1: me like I love you, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: stuff like that, So me with me, I'm like, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I gotta tell you all know,
Speaker 1: like the stuff that I do show you that, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that I'm the same way. You know,
Speaker 1: my parents never was like that growing up. They don't
Speaker 1: be like I love you, But I do tell my
Speaker 1: kids I love them all the time because I'm just different,
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying, I wasn't gonna what
Speaker 1: I did. I don't felt my family didn't do that either.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm trying to think of some person's family
Speaker 1: that I even know that's black for real, that they
Speaker 1: tell each other they love each other, did or something.
Speaker 1: It's I mean, now, I feel like now that you
Speaker 1: know you missed that. I think that in my family,
Speaker 1: as we got older, we showed love and expressed you know,
Speaker 1: with through words more than when we're younger, trying to
Speaker 1: show that to our kids as well. But my mom
Speaker 1: wasn't the I love you, I think, but but but
Speaker 1: really I thought, honestly cool, like a lot of would
Speaker 1: be like financial spirits, like if you grow up like
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, not really having too much
Speaker 1: like our parents. I feel like our parents be like
Speaker 1: so like screens that sometimes that it's often them like
Speaker 1: showing little because when I grew up and I got
Speaker 1: money and I was able to like do different stuff
Speaker 1: for my family, then we came together more like it
Speaker 1: was more it was more open with each other about
Speaker 1: our feelings and stuff like that. So yeah, when your parents,
Speaker 1: I think, are proud of you for being successful and
Speaker 1: things like that, and make it easier for them to
Speaker 1: be like man because then they feel like they we're
Speaker 1: responsible enough, like I made this, and look at what
Speaker 1: he's doing that look at it as an accomplishment and
Speaker 1: their parenting and that whole thing. So when you ain't
Speaker 1: got nothing going on, they don't want to tell you
Speaker 1: that they don't like this sucking bum, What did I do?
Speaker 1: That's awful, because you know they always be like, man,
Speaker 1: he don't do nothing, he's this like the family will
Speaker 1: go in on you if they feel like you're not
Speaker 1: successful or you need stuff there to ship. But when
Speaker 1: you're successful that everybody loves you. That's my baby. I
Speaker 1: always knew he was gonna be everybody like, yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: be feeling that. I'm just feeling to face it. I'd
Speaker 1: be feeling to face I'll look you through it, but
Speaker 1: I would definitely be feeling to face family. Not so
Speaker 1: when you raised about with both your mom and your dad,
Speaker 1: I will. I will have raised with both of them.
Speaker 1: But like my dad went those did the man like
Speaker 1: that though he was just like kind of like always
Speaker 1: in another state, but he used to like I used
Speaker 1: to going to stay with him and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: so he was in. He was in my life though
Speaker 1: he just wanted he wanted to like household when they
Speaker 1: stayed together. They always say that our relationships are kind
Speaker 1: of a reflection on how our parents were, and like
Speaker 1: our relationship with our parents, it kind of dictates what
Speaker 1: kind of relationship you have with your girl and your
Speaker 1: kids and everything. So yeah, I will you know what
Speaker 1: I say, I think you overdo like me not growing
Speaker 1: up the mind, uh with a mom and a dad,
Speaker 1: And I was sold it made me want to do
Speaker 1: that more. Like you know what I'm saying. I feel
Speaker 1: like when you grow up a certain way, it makes
Speaker 1: you want to overdo stuff. Like if it makes you
Speaker 1: do I feel like people have a weak minds. If
Speaker 1: you do the opposite of what what you was raised like,
Speaker 1: you try to do the same the same thing is
Speaker 1: what you was raised. Like if you grew up in
Speaker 1: a abuse of home and stuff like that, then you
Speaker 1: want to grow up and be that, like you know,
Speaker 1: you post less spect for to make you like me
Speaker 1: growing up? I said about that, Like, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I knew my dad was on drugs stuff
Speaker 1: like that. That made me not do drugs. You feel
Speaker 1: my son with what that did? You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: even know he felt love, But I saw what that
Speaker 1: did and it made me like So sometimes those things
Speaker 1: are like normal for you. Because some people think that
Speaker 1: if you're in a relationship that's abusive, that's a love.
Speaker 1: Like some people really think that that's what the relationship is.
Speaker 1: Y'all argue, you fight, you know, put hands on each other,
Speaker 1: that's the that's the toxic. I feel like every relationship
Speaker 1: get there though, like that that toxic in that tyme
Speaker 1: of state. But you know, I ain't really going to
Speaker 1: try to sing holy in a dog, but I try
Speaker 1: to like limit as much as I can. What's a
Speaker 1: good way to prevent something that's like getting toxic, like
Speaker 1: a toxic situation. I only know these they claiming at
Speaker 1: my girl, like she type that won't let you leave,
Speaker 1: like you beginning to an argument, like you can't just
Speaker 1: walk out, like you know what. Some people can get like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm open, go around, gonna take a ride, can let
Speaker 1: me go, So they get mure toxic, like yeah, leave,
Speaker 1: I can't even leave and walk away. Sometimes it is
Speaker 1: hard to de escalate the situation where everybody's real passionate
Speaker 1: in the moment and you do gotta take some time
Speaker 1: because you're just gonna it's gonna get worse and worse,
Speaker 1: and you're like, look, just let me leave. Yeah I
Speaker 1: got I got a big property though, so I just
Speaker 1: run out the door. Come on the state. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just run around the land of this state.
Speaker 1: I can imagine your so mad. I was arguing my
Speaker 1: man and he ran out the door, and then the
Speaker 1: baby's there, So you can't leave. Jason and do nothing,
Speaker 1: just stuff like now does she listen? Does she listen
Speaker 1: to some of your songs and get mad sometimes? Even
Speaker 1: though I know you said it's not always about you,
Speaker 1: that's your number one argument, your number one argument, it's
Speaker 1: about here. Yes, And I've been trying to people like
Speaker 1: everything that you write about. It's not like she's like,
Speaker 1: who's Ashley? Yeah, because when I heard the song, I said,
Speaker 1: who's Actually so you know what it is? So who
Speaker 1: is Ashley? Let us know it's no matter what I'm saying, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we are just start up. It really really just be so,
Speaker 1: it really just be so maybe music and I say
Speaker 1: something like some songs like it inspired by her, like unappreciated,
Speaker 1: damn appreciate. I appreciate it. Religi came from us having
Speaker 1: an argument. I'm talking about literally Le's having an argument.
Speaker 1: I had a home studio at the house. We had
Speaker 1: an argument. I literally walked in the studio, closed thought,
Speaker 1: and it became and it became a hit. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying for real though, like my baby came
Speaker 1: when you know what I'm saying. I both heard that
Speaker 1: first Rolex you know what, stuff like that. So I
Speaker 1: looked at you talking about that song. I appreciated because
Speaker 1: when I listened to that, and I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people feel that way, Like people sometimes don't pay
Speaker 1: attention to the positive great things you're doing their focus on,
Speaker 1: like when you messed up no perfect really hey man,
Speaker 1: you here right on the home so your sounds sorry
Speaker 1: about you? Somebody look at that and who's actually who
Speaker 1: is actually? You know? So still gotta come from the heart.
Speaker 1: But some stuff you reserved through other people, Like you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a real writer, like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: So I right, I really like write music, so I
Speaker 1: feel like I don't even drop music inside it went
Speaker 1: through enough stuff like I just not dropped music like
Speaker 1: you know, So I go through stuff I observed. I
Speaker 1: probably heard a friend talk about the situation with a girl,
Speaker 1: heard somebody. I probably saw something on the internet like
Speaker 1: oh what's this crazy they gonna said, and I just
Speaker 1: go in the studio some of my mind or sometimes
Speaker 1: I just feel like I want to write about so
Speaker 1: fun like Ashley song. You just different because I had
Speaker 1: a song called Tracy song that was real hot like
Speaker 1: in the underground scene, and that was just like an
Speaker 1: extension to that song. So I don't even know who
Speaker 1: Tracy is. I know a girl I traded, but I'll
Speaker 1: come on now, stop that you know what I I
Speaker 1: don't know that named Mike. Oh no, no, damn Keiana,
Speaker 1: I really don't do. Are you good at matchmaking? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because I've seen a video with you and Boosey and
Speaker 1: he looked like he needed a little bit of help.
Speaker 1: So you think you have you ever hooked anybody up
Speaker 1: and they work? Oh no, damn no, I ain't. I
Speaker 1: ain't never like booths and no, I can't findn't know
Speaker 1: about that man like he, that man not linking for it.
Speaker 1: You get somebody who also wasn't looking for a real
Speaker 1: relationship too, that's a good hook. I don't know no
Speaker 1: about everybody. I know it was really sweet girls and
Speaker 1: the guys aren't. Yeah no, no, I wouldn't even look
Speaker 1: nobody up my home, bro, I wouldn't even know that message.
Speaker 1: Are you a good friend? Look at you? So? What
Speaker 1: about having commitment problems? Right? How hard was it for
Speaker 1: you to buckle down and say, Okay, I do really
Speaker 1: want to be in a committed relationship. Me. I just
Speaker 1: I'm a type of person like I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: strong country. So I feel like, like before I blow
Speaker 1: or anything like, you know what I'm saying, I was
Speaker 1: will Like she never knew I was going to blow.
Speaker 1: She nothing knew I was gonna like be in this
Speaker 1: point in my life. So I used to like be
Speaker 1: at her house, you know, and saying like working my
Speaker 1: mom music, stuff like that. Just she used to be
Speaker 1: down for me. You know what I'm like when I blow,
Speaker 1: like I feel like I lose some blissings, Like if
Speaker 1: I just just go, yeah, just do a dirt so
Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be. You know what I'm saying. I'm kind,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm lawyer. I ain't perfect. I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: for I'm a lawyer. You know where home is? That
Speaker 1: part that sounds bad, Yeah, that sounds bad. That's what
Speaker 1: guys be saying. I know where home is? All this
Speaker 1: type of stuff, you know, I mean, they're cheating all
Speaker 1: during the day, but they come home at night. Now
Speaker 1: like that. How about how proud of your parents of

Speaker 1: And it's COVID too. It's a tough time. We got
Speaker 1: to make sure we keep everybody close to everybody's been
Speaker 1: going through a lot. How has the pandemic been for you,
Speaker 1: I mean it's been it's been great. I still have been.
Speaker 1: I still have been booked up, like, oh, I only
Speaker 1: you know what no pandemic it I ain't, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's here in America, everywhere else in the world, all
Speaker 1: up in here. And I said, I'm gonnanna see down
Speaker 1: when when you know, when I do this new lissle situation.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna sit down. So well, but I was hunting.
Speaker 1: I would wrap us. Hey, I got. I paid twenty
Speaker 1: THI dollars in bills every month I got. I got
Speaker 1: a move. So what is this new situation? It's just
Speaker 1: like I had read on my deal because I I
Speaker 1: do you not the independence I had. I give my deal,
Speaker 1: not originally deal. So I got they got real up
Speaker 1: with me. They got real. So it's just like a
Speaker 1: way five times bigg deal. I had a two. I
Speaker 1: had two options. Rather to go with a go with
Speaker 1: a major I could have got over the money going
Speaker 1: with a major, but I took half of the money
Speaker 1: to stay in the pending because I like being yea
Speaker 1: and you'll make more in the long run. Yeah, everybody
Speaker 1: I know there's a major deal, they just seem like
Speaker 1: they just don't. Like everybody talked to their BN major deal.
Speaker 1: They just be com playing And I'll be like, man,
Speaker 1: I ain't I do what I want to? Don't you know? Listen,
Speaker 1: you even got a damn Drake feature without Look, I
Speaker 1: did the biggest I'm the biggest in my career I've
Speaker 1: ever been. When I got off the major labor went independence,
Speaker 1: store and doing stuff my own way, Like I got
Speaker 1: this one of the biggest brothers, like I got I'm
Speaker 1: doing a lot, signed a big deals, all type of
Speaker 1: stuff like that's independent, So why don't have anybody holding
Speaker 1: you back? Yeah, you feel I could do what I want? Right?
Speaker 1: I think sometimes people also see a label involved and
Speaker 1: then it don't it's more it feels more corporate. Right
Speaker 1: then when it's you're going really hard for yourself, then
Speaker 1: when other people are making calls like on your behalf
Speaker 1: time things happen. Yeah, Yeah, it seemed more real, like
Speaker 1: the whole man Drake thing like I don't happen through
Speaker 1: tis muses and like it happen like when no team
Speaker 1: in a He's like, okay, let's put this on out.
Speaker 1: He sent the same back to me with their os
Speaker 1: in the song drop that next thing. If I had
Speaker 1: like a team, if I had like Columbia or somebody
Speaker 1: like trying to give it their team and do all
Speaker 1: that like you want to did because Drake was pushing
Speaker 1: the buttons, like telling them to push the buttons. So
Speaker 1: there's way better than like having And then these days
Speaker 1: it's a different era. It's a whole different era. Like
Speaker 1: you really don't need like whatever if you get hot
Speaker 1: by yourself whatever platform or whatever, I want to get it.
Speaker 1: Cut taking shoo there cut. They don't care if they
Speaker 1: contacted the major label and your own team, like if
Speaker 1: they want you, they want me on the Today Show, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't. You know what they're gonna do it. So
Speaker 1: it's like, what, how did you I was signed a boost? It,

Speaker 1: out the miss It record. Then we put out the
Speaker 1: Ice to My Baby record, then Unappreciated record just popped
Speaker 1: and then slide through just a whole lot of project
Speaker 1: that I was dropping like the underground. See like I
Speaker 1: was just on the underground. So I just dropping dropping
Speaker 1: hits like I got a lot of people knew by music,
Speaker 1: but never knew by face. Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It was like my face, my face, what they did?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But now the Drake Repord.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Well, you're nervous and signed
Speaker 1: to an artist because you know a lot of people
Speaker 1: always have they're talking about like issues signing to another artist,
Speaker 1: and I know people get apprehensive about that. But what
Speaker 1: made you decide that was the right move back then?
Speaker 1: I ain't really know. I didn't really know too much
Speaker 1: then for real, like that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I always feel like it's up to the person.
Speaker 1: Like even if no matter who you're signed too, even
Speaker 1: if you signed to a major label, like if you
Speaker 1: don't go home for yourself, they're not gonna go They're
Speaker 1: gonna labor interested soon they signed you. But like if
Speaker 1: you don't, if they don't, they just want to take
Speaker 1: credit for what you do by yourself. So even if
Speaker 1: you signed to artist things, I have to go hold.
Speaker 1: I just knew that if I got some eyes, I
Speaker 1: knew what I could do, Like, I just trusted myself
Speaker 1: and feeling like you can't just depend on nobody, no
Speaker 1: matter if it's a major label, major artist or something
Speaker 1: like that, you just gotta still go hold yourself. And
Speaker 1: that what I did, Like I ain't really I ain't
Speaker 1: take no money up front, none of that. I just signed,
Speaker 1: Well you at the Cucumber party time when nigh I
Speaker 1: got to rewatch the videos, I'm gonna look for you
Speaker 1: this time boosting. I can't. I ain't with your old
Speaker 1: lady after that cue coming, Yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna want my boyfriend hanging out at a boosty party.
Speaker 1: Me need that? Oh yeah, get time I go to
Speaker 1: boot Lips on the screen, like, oh my god, he'd
Speaker 1: be trying to do that. He'd be trying to do that.
Speaker 1: He hating that I'm he be hating. I'm the person
Speaker 1: that I am. You want to give me, you want
Speaker 1: to have a company. Have you ever a lot about
Speaker 1: where you were going and got caught? Like now you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going to studio and the next thing, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a cute coming. Yeah. Yeah, I can't really not
Speaker 1: like that though, but she too smart. Don't like that
Speaker 1: because I can. Sometimes it's easier. Sometimes I think people
Speaker 1: really lie just to protect because it's just an easier
Speaker 1: like you're not even doing nothing, it's easier. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: that they'd be they really be eating that's the that's
Speaker 1: the craze thing. Like Sometimes it's just like I'm probably
Speaker 1: planning on going to boot the party, but I'm not
Speaker 1: planning to do nothing. I'm just planning to be there.
Speaker 1: But I know you're gonna trip so hard that you're
Speaker 1: gonna miss on my old NiFe. So I just feel
Speaker 1: like I just lie just to you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: just to stop you from tripping or not having then argument,
Speaker 1: you know, stuff like that. Sometimes people laugh for good reason,
Speaker 1: but they just ain't no good way to say but
Speaker 1: ae a. And then you're like, I wasn't even doing
Speaker 1: nothing that why would you lie? Exactly? That's what And
Speaker 1: that'd be the argument maybe the art because you really
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. Nothing that makes you want to do something?
Speaker 1: You doing nothing? Let me stop you here before you
Speaker 1: dig a great fast. Did you have a situation with me? First? Oh?
Speaker 1: Nor no, No, they can't. They call since a management situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it isn't a management situation. Everybody when the sun
Speaker 1: with you, huh yeah, but everybody see people people take
Speaker 1: this stuff and be like thank everybody in my packet,
Speaker 1: Like no, every about my name my packet because this
Speaker 1: way the mean situation is is they only get a
Speaker 1: piece of what they bring me. So like you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like whenever you to me that you eat, yeah,
Speaker 1: eat what you kill? Yeah you feel me? So Like
Speaker 1: like I said, I all my deals more, all my
Speaker 1: deals favored me. Every deer that I mean favored me
Speaker 1: in a big way. You're smart. Now, what was the
Speaker 1: first dacation you and your girl went away Bahamas? Why
Speaker 1: had some she has some bad Bahamas memories that she
Speaker 1: gotta make that clear, because I can't say nothing about
Speaker 1: the almost because they're gonna then I'm sorry. That was
Speaker 1: just a little personal reaction to the Bahamas. Had I'm
Speaker 1: scored a people, a lot of people. No, let me

Speaker 1: the only time we went out the country or I'll
Speaker 1: be scared to go out the country to COVID or
Speaker 1: since COVID, just prior to COVID, like I always just
Speaker 1: been skared to like just go at the country because
Speaker 1: I'm so used to travel at like high travel and
Speaker 1: I don't know across the country, like you just ain't
Speaker 1: travel like that, so I'll just be like, too much
Speaker 1: stuff happening. I just I don't know. Y'all got to
Speaker 1: make those memories though, because let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: it's great like presence and all of that. I turned

Speaker 1: you feel me. I just used to be like, man,
Speaker 1: what you want to do? You feel me? Your your
Speaker 1: hair blocks turn up like Goku. But then I also
Speaker 1: feel like, what are you supposed to do? You're supposed
Speaker 1: to do a gimmick jest, so that you know what
Speaker 1: I get both sides of it. You don't want to
Speaker 1: do something that's not authentic, but you also want to
Speaker 1: make sure, like you said, the attention of your audience
Speaker 1: because sometimes, like you were saying, people knew the music,
Speaker 1: but they didn't really know you, and so you have
Speaker 1: to make that connection between both. Yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: I feel like with with the with the Hell though
