WEBVTT - Ciara Interview 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:10.000 Real people, real celebrity join the breast morning. Everybody is 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.840 DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the 0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.720 breakfast club and we have a special guest in the 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.400 building that I am surprised came up here and I 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.440 respected him May for the era. See good morning morning. 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.040 You know, I'm really really disappointed this morning, right because 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.120 Charlemagne is not here. That's right. Well, let's set the 0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.320 record straight. She decided she wanted to come with. Charlemagne 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.519 was here, but I wanted to. Yeah. I think we 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.279 can all say to the world that the reason why 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.279 Charlemagne gives me such a hard time is because he's 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.440 scared of me. Right, That's why he's not here this morning. 0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.400 It's a complex thing too. Now I know what it is. 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.199 So I kept trying to figure it out, to say 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.040 the light, I'm like, what is it, Charlemagne? What I 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:49.560 wish he was here? So I look at him and 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.440 say it to him, what is it? But now I 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.080 know it's because he's scared of me. I heard you 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.400 about the gung I bet about Charogne. You know what, 0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.280 I didn't have the opportunity to write about him because 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.200 the topic doesn't I work with them, you know, but hey, 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.000 I don't know. Well, congratulations that on the success of 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.360 I Bet, Thank you. You know. I was with my 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:08.960 girls the other day. One of them just went through 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.560 a breakup and she goes this song and she got 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.280 really passionate. She was like, this song is all about me, 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.320 and I know she got this song just about me. 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:18.000 And I know a lot of women feel like that 0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.199 when they hear that song. That song is for every 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.880 girl and even some guys in the world. You know. 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.000 I think that's one of those topics that everyone can 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.280 relate to. We've all been there before. We've all had 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.720 an experience where you're like, you know, maybe a few 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.840 experiences where you're like, I bet you started loving me, 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.600 you know, when I keep it moving and you know, 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.960 and get with someone better. But it's just I think 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.040 it's a song for everyone. It's it's really beyond me 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:40.720 too in a sense. But it's so great when I 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.679 hear so many women and you know, people talk about 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:45.960 how the song inspires them, and you would hope that 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:48.000 music could do that, you know, give you some strength 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.520 and encouragement to keep it moving when you need to. 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:52.840 Now that's good. Can we talk let's get the stuff 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.080 from the beginning, because we haven't seen you in a 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.880 long time. Yeah, it's been a while. Last time I 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.320 seen you, was just learning how to cook? Wells I 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:02.240 learning how to or was I talking about more that 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:06.440 I could do? Okay? We last time we've seen you 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.560 with dating future and what happened with future? I know 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:14.280 you guys had a baby. Everything was so great and huh, well, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.320 you know what I mean. It's just it clearly didn't 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.040 work out. Um, But I have the greatest gift, the 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.639 greatest joy of my life is my son, um. And um, honestly, 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.720 I feel like everything in life happens for a reason. 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.480 And you know, my son has been the greatest gift 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.080 that God has given me in my life and been 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.239 the most game changing life thing that's happened to my 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.840 life in a necessary way. So you know, I mean 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.200 that's pretty much what happened, What didn't work out, what happened, 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.600 what what we know? I can't really I can't really 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.000 break all that down, um, you know, because I don't 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.800 even think it really matters to tell you the truth, 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.040 you know, especially again when the ending is as great 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.639 as it is with my son. Um, you know, that's 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.320 what worked out. My son. Are you guys still cool? Yeah, 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.480 we're we're cool. Were we we can we well, you 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.959 know what it is we have We have a child together, 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:57.720 you know. And I think as a parent it's important 0:02:57.720 --> 0:02:59.600 to be able to communicate even if you don't talk. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.400 You know, you don't talk, and we don't talk every day, 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.679 there's no need to. But you know, my son is 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.079 you know clearly the connection between he and I and 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.640 as parents, I think it's important to be able to communicate. 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.320 So I I like to stay happy and I like 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.120 to um. I like to live life light and make 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.720 the best of life. And I think that when you 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.639 carry a certain kind of energy, or if you have 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:21.960 like a funky energy that you hold on within yourself, 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.280 you just can't grow and you can't really like move 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.720 how you need to. So for me, I just like 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.440 to be happy and cool with pretty much everybody you know. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.080 And that's just pretty much it. And it's always it's 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.120 always a lesson learned too. When you're in a relationship 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:35.640 and things don't work out and you look back and 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.120 you say, okay, next time, I know, when this and 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.400 this happens, it's probably time for me to oh, you 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.360 live and you learn. I mean, my son is giving 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.920 me so much clarity, you know, especially now being an awful, 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.240 I'm full on woman. You know, you don't really understand 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.040 what that really means until a few things happen to 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.760 you in life. But my son is totally giving me 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.240 so much clarity. And I couldn't be any more clear 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.280 than I've needed to be, like needed to be. And 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.040 you know, I definitely know a lot of things that 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.520 I don't want, I really know, you know, and I'm 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.840 clear about recognizing them when I see them. And I 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.200 know a lot of things that I do want that 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.600 I really hope for, and I won't move or budge 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.920 until I get it. So I think that's kind of 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.320 what happened with my son. You know, he really kind 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.840 of made me. He makes me like I have to 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:20.120 make the right decisions. Yeah, you're like, I can't be 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.200 up here like, oh, well, you know, if an accident happens, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.720 it happens, you know. No, You're like, I gotta kind 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:26.440 of be for sure for sure with things that I do, 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.480 and I mean even down to business decisions, like everything 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.160 that I do affects And I always say, I'm like baby, baby, 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.359 gotta eat, and baby ain't cheap, so I gotta make 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.320 sure I'm making the best decisions I can possibly make 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.720 to make the universe right for him and then of 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.920 course for me too. But you know, he just really 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.800 is the force. He's the reason why for me. Like 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.600 you know, I've always wanted to be successful, but my 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.279 son now just makes it, takes it to a whole 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.000 nother level. It's like, I really have to go out 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.000 here and bust my butt and get it right right, so, 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.000 you know, and I just gotta make the best decisions 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.440 I can make. It has been a while since you've 0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.000 been on tour and everything. Yeah, this is different for you. 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:02.080 It has years. It's been almost it's been pretty much 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.360 six years six years plus since I've been on the road. 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.560 Um and um, it's exciting. You know, I'm honestly in 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.400 such a happy place right now. I do. He's probably 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.720 been like sixteen countries so far. His passport is way Yeah. 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.040 I'm a military baby. So when I was young, I 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.239 traveled with my dad, you know, because he got stationed 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.200 in different places. But his passport killed his question my 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:25.800 passport game that I have when I was a baby 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.760 from moving around and he's just loaded. He's just stacking 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.320 up the stamps. But it's so funny because you realize 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.240 how powerful the tongue is is. When I was younger, 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.720 I would say, if I had a child, I want 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.360 them to see the world. And I am able to 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.320 take my son everywhere with me, and you know, when 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.320 he can really comprehend what's going on, I can really 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.200 break it down and then he don't know. He just rolled, 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.440 and I'm like, I have more into what life looks 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.320 like from his perspective because you're rolling through a different airport, 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:53.440 there's so many lights than you're you're going in a 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.880 different place, you can you can really feel the difference. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.680 Is I think even if you can't know, if you 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.520 don't know what's going on, you still kind of feel 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.360 you're moving. So I think he's kind of just like 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.440 I just hope that I can continue to do that 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:06.720 and he'll be able to be really conditioned for the world, 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.480 you know, because I'm like, I'm from the cat to Georgia, 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.719 you know, And in a sense, being a military baby 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.320 helped me out so much because I was able to 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.240 like adjust to any different race culture like no one 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.960 was We're all the same no matter what color. I 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.359 look at row from like the most broad perspective because 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.280 of that, and so for me, it's important that my 0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:25.080 son sees it the same way, Like he should be 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.239 able to adjust no matter where he is and be like, Okay, 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.120 I'm cool, I can move around, I can shake him 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.080 bake no matter what. H Yeah, you know. So now 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.920 when it's time to date another guy, right, huh? How 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.280 long do you introduce him to your son? Um? You 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.080 know what, I think it's just all that when it 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:43.760 feels right, can you look like you know what? You 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.440 look like? You fall in love fast? You fall in 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:49.000 love fast? You know what? In the in the let 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.520 me let me think about what I'm gonna say before 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.560 I say. You know, um, you know, UM, I think 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.480 it's just about going with the flow. I used to 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.920 be a person that was really really like trying to 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.560 be super hard, like a Darner date for like almost 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.680 a year before even going to the next place, you know, 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.920 at points. And so for me, um, I think with life, 0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.960 you learned that you can't take things you can't you 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.640 can't really call it like you don't know what a 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:13.120 situation going. You can take a year, or you can 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.280 take six months, or you can take two. My dad 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:17.720 and mom nine after nine days. I've known my mom, 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.240 they were married and they've been together for thirty one years. Wow, 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.720 So you never know. I'm not going to put a 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.240 time limit on when and when I can't do something, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.880 you know, And I'm experiment I've been experimenting over life clearly, 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.000 and I'm still trying to figure it all out. And 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:36.240 so I can't really call industry. Um, you know, never 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:40.240 say never, but I do. I do think that, um, 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.880 you know, you gotta gotta switch it up a little bit. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:45.160 You know, I'm getting a guy who has kids buying 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.480 multiple different women. Now, people were very critical because they 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.880 saw you and flat for that. You got a lot 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.720 of flag for that. Did you feel like that should 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.120 have been like A, well, maybe this is not the idea, 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.200 you know what, I'm human, you know, and I went 0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.040 I went with I was lit. I went went with 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.680 love in that situation, and so um or in Yeah, 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.920 in that situation, I think that, you know, you can 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:05.360 be with someone that has no kids and can be 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.240 the biggest jerk in the world, right, you can be 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.320 with someone that's super wealthy and can be the biggest 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:10.920 jerk in the world. So it doesn't make a many 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.440 different than the one that doesn't have as much or 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.800 who doesn't have as many kids, or you can't really 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:16.760 call it, you know. And I mean at the end 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.360 of the day, I rolle with love and you know, 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.080 my son's father, you know, I really believe had the 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.160 greatest intentions to love me and so and it was 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.240 a beautiful thing came from that. So you know, that's 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:27.680 just kind of how I see it. You know, you 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:31.240 can't really call it. You know, they're all siblings, Like 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.480 are you like, okay, let's get the kids together, or 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.439 I mean they are you knowing, I'm really focused on 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:42.160 raising my son right now and being the best mom 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.240 I can be. You know. Um there is one mom though, 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:47.960 of the kids that I really got along with very well, 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.680 and so you know when I see her, we definitely 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.480 still get along really good, you know, And it's all 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.959 about the kids anyway, you know. So truthfully, it's just 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.760 like whatever, you know, whatever is the right thing to do. 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.439 Whenever the situation called sport, you just do it. You know, 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.680 your life usually your person like real secretive I did, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.520 no matter who you were dating. It was very quiet. 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.520 That was the only one of that with this breakup though, 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.160 and then putting out a song like I Bet, because 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:14.760 the first thing we thought, right was is Sierra gonna 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.280 address this in her music? You know, because it was like, 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:18.959 you know, I'm sure it was really difficult for you. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.640 You had a baby, you were engaged, it was all 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.800 very public, and then it was over, and so we 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:25.439 were like, is she gonna address this in her music? 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.360 Then you put out I Bet, and it was kind 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.600 of like there's a connection because now we can imagine, 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.920 you know, ourselves going through the same things as Sierra goes. Well, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.120 you know what UM on this album on Jackie, this 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:40.200 new chapter of my life is really about being expressive UM. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:44.199 And it's about UM really allowing myself to be vulnerable 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.600 because I believe it's healthy to be vulnerable. I think 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.400 that when you allow yourself to like, you know, be 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.439 in touch with your rawest moment, you kind of really fine. 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.520 You really developed character that way. So UM And I 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:57.480 think that as I've been, you know, been very blessed 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.199 to be on my sixth album and going on like 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.920 thirteen years now, I think it's important that people get 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.160 to really know me and know my voice, and you know, 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.640 I've been experiment experiencing with things over the years, but 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.439 I feel like people haven't really gotten a chance to 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.320 know me, know me, and um, you know, you get 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:12.959 to that comfortable place as a woman where you're like, 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.680 you know, I am who I am, Like you start 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.160 to really get comfortable with yourself. You're like, this is me. 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.599 You know. I'd rather be comfortable with just being me 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.120 and not trying to please people. And um, you know, 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.520 on this album, I really wanted for people to connect 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.040 to me. So, you know, I bet is experience. It's 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:30.360 inspired from my experiences in a sense in life. And 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:32.319 you know, it was one of those songs that really 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.719 stood out because it was just so real, you know, 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.199 so and you know, beyond my current situation or you know, 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:42.080 this most recent situation. This is like a life story, 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.280 you know, and so it's kind of like, you know, 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.240 it's really for everyone, and you know, and I think 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.800 it's really great though, when people do connect to music, 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.960 because that's what it's supposed to be. It's about being 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:55.240 able to inspire people and being able to maybe help 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.040 someone or you know, touch someone. And I think music 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.880 can't be it can't be any more powerful than that. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.559 When you do that, and so on this album, you know, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.280 I am expressive and you get to like, like, there's 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.079 a song I have dedicated to my son, you know, 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.000 but also it's beyond my son. I think everyone can 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.040 relate to it and get something from it. But I 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:13.959 want to take people on a journey with me, as 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:15.679 you know, just to hear my voice and where I 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.360 am right now and my whole new chapter of life. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.360 Like it's just a whole different thing happening with me. 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.320 And what better way than to express it than through music, 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:29.120 you know. So the album's name is Jackie's Well, you 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.040 know what, it just felt right, you know again, this 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.760 new chapter is it really marks a special time for 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.520 me and me being a mom is the most beautiful 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.000 thing in the world. You know, I can't I don't 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:41.199 know why I want to get emotional right now, but 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:43.840 I can't even. I mean, it's honestly been the greatest 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:48.640 joy of my life having my son. Oh my goodness, moment. 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.319 You know what he is funny, He just does so much. 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.240 Of course, saying Mama was so sweet. We were in Australia, 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:59.040 actually he said dadda first, you know, but that was 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.960 a natural vow that babies say Okay, he's easy. I'm 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:09.080 researching the baby say the gay so um. But yeah 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:11.760 he said mama. Um. That was really sweet. Him calling 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.640 was really cute. Um, because my babies. He's thirty pounds 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:17.400 like he was. He's been thirty pounds. He's been riding 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:19.280 this way for like the past three or four months. 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.079 He's been Oh he's huge. You know what. It's the 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.400 simulat burgers. You know, it's the fries on the side. 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.520 You know, we're from the South, so every now and 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:30.160 then he gets a little a few black eyed peas 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.559 and a few things, you know, when we're having a 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:36.520 family gatherings and we don't feel it. That is That's exactly. 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.800 It's so wrong. I'm working on and I'm cleaning it up. 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.200 I'm like, my baby's gonna know too much before he's one. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.160 He's I'm like, yeah, you know, I've had candy yams 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:46.480 and I've had mac and chee. I'm like, oh lord, Grandma, 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.839 but um, I know, um, but yeah, what were we saying? 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.839 Where were you? Where was I saying? Um, where were you? 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:55.000 What were about the baby? Yeah? So um that also 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.160 of course him still he can now stand up and 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.360 hold up. He's ready to take the steps and he 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.720 moves your hands away so he can just hold up, 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.319 which is so cute. Um he could say dog, Um, 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.960 he's went swimming. I took him swimming for infant aquatic 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.480 survival classes that seven months and that was oh no, 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.719 let me tell you it was so much fun. I'm 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.800 so so happy I did it and you didn't. You 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.559 don't realize how um, that is the number one leading 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:21.320 cause of deaths and infants um, and you realize how 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.280 important it is that they are familiar with the water 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.079 and how they need to know how to respond if 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.840 they fall in the water, and that you think they 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:32.280 don't really care. Well, you turned out all right, a 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.839 little crazy, but I'm not sorry. No, but um, I 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.920 mean it's it's moments like that, you know, where you 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.400 just see them like learning and developing and growing and 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.120 you know, he's really funny, he loves laughing, and I 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:46.439 mean it's just so many things that really, you know, 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.800 they're the highlight of my days, and you know, and 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.480 day and my day. You can't even really pick one thing. 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:53.920 It's just everything you see them doing just brings a 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.079 light to your face. When he first smelled you, know 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.600 that was the sweetest thing, because you know the first 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:02.559 few months they're kind of like it there he did. Okay, Oh, 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:05.959 let me tell you what happened. Um. Actually, oh, this 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.360 might be really bad to say. Um, but I had 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.680 a really fun moment. Or I was changing his diaper 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.960 and I looked, you know how you like you're holding 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:14.679 them there there, and it's like he's probably like three 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.120 or four months, and he was like, you know, crying. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.640 I was reaching down and all of a sudden, out 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.000 here like this right and now I look up. He 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.520 was pink in his face because you know, you hold 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.880 the legs up, you hold the diaper, and I literally 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.920 legs up and then yeah, and I looked. I literally 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.720 was going for two seconds, like any mom will tell 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.440 you that. You know, in two seconds anything can happen. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.400 Legs up and I looked up. I was like, yo, 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.960 you know what it did happen? It is no, it does, 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:57.040 hold the legs put the diaper underneath. No, he is not. 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.800 And I'm not please not say that. You know what, 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.320 now you're making me feel like I should lower my bed. 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:03.960 My bed is really high. You shouldn't have him in 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.880 a bed. No, you know what, I mean, here's a deal. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.560 I'm gonna tell you this. Do you barricade your baby in? Yeah? 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.320 All that. Here's my rule. I barricade my baby in 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:18.280 right because and being then I travel you know. Um, 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:20.240 you know, my baby's sleeps with me a good thing. 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:21.840 You know. I have them bring the cribs in, but 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.720 the crib never really works out. He's my teddy bear, 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:26.760 you know, so I can't really like let him be 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:28.840 you know, in the crib too long without me and 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:32.720 without him. Um. But um, yeah, I basically have a 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.400 rule like if I have to, you know, step away somewhere, 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.840 I'll have someone stand there, you know. So um, I'm 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.840 very very very mindful of it. And I mean I 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.560 can't tell you the other crazy details but of things 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.040 that I do. But I make sure that my baby 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.680 is not really in that bed by himself. Okay, I'm 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.080 multitask I can do three things three things at one time. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.920 I tell you a last baby story. You know what, 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.200 when I have my first daughter, this is what made 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.880 me want a second kid so fast. I had a 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.360 penny on the floor and my daughter was a crawler, 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:03.840 grabbed the penny through it in the mouth. It's no 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.960 freaking way I cried. I thought my life was over. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.120 I called nine one one, what's yourmency? My daughters a penny? 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.040 I'm crying, crying, and like, sir, she can she breathe? 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.440 I mean yes. It was like, it's fine, she swallowed 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.000 the penny, it'll probably come out in the doodle. I 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:22.840 was like, no, she's gonna die. And they wouldn't say 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:24.960 an ambulance. That's as long as she's breathing, she's all right. 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:27.320 So I had to check the doodo for the last 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:29.560 for the next four panthers to see if the penny 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:34.360 was in there, but it finally came through, So so 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.000 it's all right. The moral to the story is that 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:42.240 they're going to always poop it out, that's right. Yeah, 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:44.840 Jadi recently said that your song, I bet it's a 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.120 rip off of an Usher song he produced. Now I 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.600 think he actually corrected that statement. No, he did, Yeah 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:51.880 he did. I didn't. I didn't get to see the 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.240 whole thing, but I think he actually kind of said 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.600 something to kind of you and cool. We are cool, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.440 you know, Jermaine is cool, But Jermaine's an expressed of person, 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:04.119 like Jermaine has always been expressive over the years, you know, 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.600 and I don't you know really guys, right, like that's 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.560 the last one thing about having a baby. You really 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:13.399 don't care about a lot of stuff, you don't. You 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:19.040 be like he's happy? Yeah, okay, yeah, they said, what now? Okay? Cool? 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.320 All right, Well so what we're gonna do is on 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:24.640 this next video. You know, you just you really don't 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.000 really have time to sweat stuff, you know, and um, 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.679 but yeah, Jermaine, if Jermaine walked in the door right now, 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:32.880 we could hug each other. So he's an expressive person. Yeah, 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:35.600 I've never understood. And I tell this to Charlemagne too 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.840 when he's here. What is the problem that people have 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:39.880 with Sierra? Because you've always seen like a very nice, 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:42.600 humble person. I've always been a fan of Sierra's me 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.479 thank you even, and you always have like the hit 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:47.480
