I was not able to watch the 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.400 BET Awards last night because I was working in San 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.720 Francisco and Sam Mateo. But baby, the room, the internet 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.120 is lit up and everybody is feeling very different feelings 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.960 about little nas X openly kissing another man on b 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.160 E T on the BT Awards during his performance. I've 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.600 been being asked all they how do I feel about it? 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.199 How do y'all feel about it? Where? Here's my thing? 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.800 Y'all knew he was gay, here's my he expressed his 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.800 his that was his art. Madonna kissed Britney Spears open 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.679 mouth on Live. Y'all ain't saying ship. I'm just saying, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.280 if we're gonna do it, we're gonna we're gonna have 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.880 to do it all the way I think though, and 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.560 we know this. I think that there's um, there's a 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:35.280 standard that allows UM because I think heteros fetishized women 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.679 kissing women. I think that that still falls within the 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.719 hetero norm. I don't know that, Uh, the country is 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.000 comfortable with the idea of a not only male on 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.679 male affection, but definitely men of color kissing others. There 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:50.240 it is right there. That's that's friend too far because 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:52.400 if it had been two black women like that Madonna 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.120 and Britney, it would have been a whole bunch of controversy. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.520 Y'all had a fit when Jenna showed part of her titty. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.319 She didn't even show the whole damn titty. I I 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.960 would just show Well, I think I think part of 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.600 it too is that, um, I guess maybe it's the 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:09.240 extent of the kiss because like Madonna and Brittany, it 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.280 wasn't like a full on, like sloped down like it 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.320 was a kiss. Yes, but it wasn't like I know 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.520 it was. But I think what people are saying the 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.000 issue is with a little naz X situation is it 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.040 was just a full blown slot. No different from when 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.880 Cardi B and you know, Megan the Stallion performed at 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.720 the Grammys. You know they got, however, many complaints. You know, 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.320 when they performed Walk Together, did Megan get Cardi pregnant? 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.640 Because Cardi pregnant said that did that? So I mean, 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.840 I think it's just I think it got the kids 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:39.640 got a little too vulgar. And that's more so what 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.520 the issue is, not negating what you're saying that because 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.840 I think too, you know, there's still a huge stigma 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:47.440 around homosexuality and people actually seeing it, um, you know, 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.120 in real time. So I think that, you know, are 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.079 people taking it a bit too far in terms of 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.920 the outrage, absolutely, um, But I think it's just they 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.160 were saying, like BT in some ways is supposed to 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.640 be a family show, you know, and they and I 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:04.240 think some people I said it's supposed to be. I 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.760 didn't say it is. I think in conceptually it's supposed 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.680 to be more of a family show. So I think 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.040 doing such a kiss that was so vulgar for everybody 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.600 to see was the issue, is what my takeaway is 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.040 from what I'm seeing. So and I'll tell you Lauren 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.920 um way before your time, but flame will remember this. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:27.440 I remember the world was literally on fire when Madonna, 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.320 I forget the actor's name, but she had a black Jesus. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.840 That wasn't bad enough. She had the nerve to it 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.080 was flame. Do you remember that? And then she and 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.800 the like, who is this white girl? What was like 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.840 a virgin or like a prayer? Like a prayer, like 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.880 a prayer, and she kisses him. Wait, wait, but not 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:48.880 only is this a white girl, but it's a white 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.440 girl with a black Jesus. The white girl with a 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:53.840 black Jesus who kisses black Jesus PEPSI could not drop 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:58.360 her fast enough. Let's give kud Madonna, who has went 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.520 against the grain from day one and live her life apologetically. 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:03.440 So that was what I would say. It was keeping 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.440 her young looking, but she ain't that younger ye anyway? 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.040 And I love Madonna door Madonna. So Madonna has broken 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:14.160 barriers and years before people have given her her propms 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.600 for that. I don't understand what the big deal is 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.880 about the little nos ex kissing, because, like Lauren said, 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.160 BT was supposed to be a family show. BT ain't 0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:24.800 been a BT Awards ain't been a family show since 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.160 the second year of conception because everybody is naked on 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:33.720 a damn show. Everybody in Codnegro just said something that's 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.840 right in Coodnegro. I forgot that that was the part 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.680 running through a field of burning crosses. Remember that, Like 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.640 my DAUGHTERA really just broke everything and we're like, what 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.200 is she Doingdonna say, I don't give it to Madonna 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.280 like black men though, So she got a little black 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.800 young thing right now, she'd be riding through you know, 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.440 cities and bicycles and stuff. She's living her best life. 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.000 So that's sixty year old. That's sixty some of yo. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:16:04.880 Can't still got some fire too of it. I do 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.000 think though that I want to say kudos a little 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.680 nos X because he's living his truth. He's living his life, 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.680 you know, as he's you know, deems fit. And I 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.680 appreciate what he's doing, especially for this younger generation around 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.480 lgbt Q, because they feel like, you know, there's somebody 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.880 that they can actually identify with that's in the mainstream, 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:22.880 that's you know, understanding to what they're going through in 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:26.880 their circumstances. So I appreciate him being unapologetically him in 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:30.320 these spaces and you know, defying societal norms. You know, 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:32.560 he started a little bit a month ago with the 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:36.120 Jimmy Fallon performance, which I thought was choreographically phenomenal. And 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.840 now you know he's performing at the BT Awards, and 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:44.960 you know it's just living his life soot and is 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.960 so he was living. He was happy, he was being 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.560 proud and also too, I want to just say, I'm 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.160 so happy for Queen Latifa. I love the performance and 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:56.840 dedication that they did to her for her last night, 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:59.840 and she got the Lifetime Achievement Award. Um. I actually 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.920 started watching The Equalizer. It's a great show. Um. I 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.200 watched the entire season. So I'm also, you know, very 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.360 happy that she's been giving her flowers too, because she's 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.360 done a lot, you know, for the culture as well. 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.040 Can I say something though, I saw some of the 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.840 clips on Twitter, you know, in between all the point 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.320 and let me tell you something. I knew I recognized 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:27.160 mc light and I recognize somebody else I just didn't recognize. Look, Kim, baby, 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.520 let me tell you something. When Luke Kim get to Heaven, 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.119 she's gonna fly right past Biggie. He gonna be like, 0:17:32.119 --> 0:17:34.760 she canna be like, what's up? Big? Do I know you? Baby? 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:39.920 She didn't change colors, nationalities a color Kim, slow down, 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:47.840 careful her dribe and stay like try don't even recognize her. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:49.920 Go back to ninety three and look at Kim and 0:17:49.920 --> 0:17:52.440 look at her. Now, if it named him wasn't up there, 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:55.240 you wouldn't know who she was. She still turns it out. Yeah, 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:57.880 I'll just say this. I just worked with her in April, 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.679 and she is a sweetheart. She is so sweet. Her 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.680 daughter came with her. She gives, she's a very she's 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.040 very serious about her craft, and it was actually refreshing 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:07.800 to see. I think, you know, nowadays, we see a 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:11.240 lot of these artists that aren't really serious about music. So, 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.080 you know, being able to work with her and see 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.240 her work ethic and just how she moves and shakes 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.920 was very inspiring. So and she's a sweetheart. But I 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:20.680 look him, you know, I know a lot of look 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:24.600 him no matter what people see. What what. We also 0:18:24.680 --> 0:18:27.159 heard that she's generous as an artist, as in sharing 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.280 with other women like uh mentor did you see that 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:33.880 as well? Did you? Did you? Because Trina was actually there, 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.920 so Trina opened up for her, and she literally brought 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.159 Trina up during her set and talked about, you know, 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.520 her mother and just how she's been a little sister 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.200 to her and their relationship and it's it was very 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.119 much so like a powerful black queen's moment um that 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.240 we had around hip hop for you know, a Florida 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:54.119 Aids Walk event. So um, yes, all of that. She's 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.479 a genuine sweetheart all the way that I know that. 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.760 I'm sorry, nigres, come on, I'm sorry. That was my bad. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:04.800 Oh no, my fault. Oh my god, I hate that word. 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.680 I hate that word. When they ever bet Ever does 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.520 recognize Little Kim as a legend, I hope that when 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.879 they do the tribute for Little Kim they use a 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.919 bunch of trans girls because so many of us do 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.520 her music, and it's some bad girls out here that 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.840 would turn the b ET Awards upside down. I wouldn't 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:23.919 have to be the host of b et O. Originally, 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.320 I'm the first queen of the et Remember I did 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:27.880 Coming of You in two thousand and four, and y'all 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:29.760 tried to pass me off as a woman. I told 0:19:29.800 --> 0:19:31.920 you'll let it back, and nobody gonna believe I'm a 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.760 no damn woman. They just gonna know that I was 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:38.919 funny and I was go ahead an say no. I 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.000 was just gonna transition to one of the topics we 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:43.080 talked about with the Flame Maths. You know, we're talking 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.600 about apologies and whether or not you are allowed in 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.840 the age of social media to have an opinion. Because 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.679 trick Daddy shared his opinion on the Breakfast Club you know, 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.320 or or shared his opinion earlier and then went back 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.639 and talked about it. Is he allowed to have an 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.880 opinion that he says uh isn't necessarily as popular? And 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:04.560 are we tired of people apologizing when they have an opinion? 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:10.239 What was his apology or here's this, here's my thing 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.720 and this is my genuine opinion. I just feel like 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:16.080 trick Daddy wanted some attention, so he said something outlandish 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.159 and he's getting set attention that he was crazy for. 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:20.600 That's how I feel because I'm just saying, if you're 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.960 Beyonce Cancing, I'm sorry, did you listen to listen from 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:29.360 dream Girls? Like there's just her catalog is just too wide, 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.840 too vast for you to make an outlandish statement like that, 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:37.040 So like, let me start back, who we come out 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:41.879 trick Daddy? Who? I just feel like it's just I 0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:44.240 think he just wanted, you know, a couple of moments 0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:46.159 for some attention and he got it. So you know 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:48.320 you don't funk, would that be have? Let me understand 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:50.480 that I will talk about lots of people. You do 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.760 not funk with the behalf. Secondly, personally. Secondly, if he 0:20:53.800 --> 0:20:57.160 ain't never listened to Beyonce saying resentment, then he really 0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.560 don't know what he was. He's so used here shoot 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.600 the nigga, she the mama, through the kids out the train, 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:08.360 that ain't singing, player that's not singing. Beyonce can sing wonderfully. 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.560 And if he ever said his ass down, uh and 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.240 listen to Beyonce saying it's not worried about what's mainstream 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.920 and what's popular. Because they blasted that restaurant, you do 0:21:18.000 --> 0:21:22.680 not Behi, period. His restaurant rating went down, completely down. 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:28.320 It plummeted over here, girl, I ain't never got nothing better. 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:30.280 You know, I think I'm your uncle, but not saying 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:32.800 that to say like he's You're entitled to your opinion, 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.439
