Speaker 1: Real people, real celebrity join the breast morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: breakfast club and we have a special guest in the
Speaker 1: building that I am surprised came up here and I
Speaker 1: respected him May for the era. See good morning morning.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm really really disappointed this morning, right because
Speaker 1: Charlemagne is not here. That's right. Well, let's set the
Speaker 1: record straight. She decided she wanted to come with. Charlemagne
Speaker 1: was here, but I wanted to. Yeah. I think we
Speaker 1: can all say to the world that the reason why
Speaker 1: Charlemagne gives me such a hard time is because he's
Speaker 1: scared of me. Right, That's why he's not here this morning.
Speaker 1: It's a complex thing too. Now I know what it is.
Speaker 1: So I kept trying to figure it out, to say
Speaker 1: the light, I'm like, what is it, Charlemagne? What I
Speaker 1: wish he was here? So I look at him and
Speaker 1: say it to him, what is it? But now I
Speaker 1: know it's because he's scared of me. I heard you
Speaker 1: about the gung I bet about Charogne. You know what,
Speaker 1: I didn't have the opportunity to write about him because
Speaker 1: the topic doesn't I work with them, you know, but hey,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, congratulations that on the success of
Speaker 1: I Bet, Thank you. You know. I was with my
Speaker 1: girls the other day. One of them just went through
Speaker 1: a breakup and she goes this song and she got
Speaker 1: really passionate. She was like, this song is all about me,
Speaker 1: and I know she got this song just about me.
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of women feel like that
Speaker 1: when they hear that song. That song is for every
Speaker 1: girl and even some guys in the world. You know.
Speaker 1: I think that's one of those topics that everyone can
Speaker 1: relate to. We've all been there before. We've all had
Speaker 1: an experience where you're like, you know, maybe a few
Speaker 1: experiences where you're like, I bet you started loving me,
Speaker 1: you know, when I keep it moving and you know,
Speaker 1: and get with someone better. But it's just I think
Speaker 1: it's a song for everyone. It's it's really beyond me
Speaker 1: too in a sense. But it's so great when I
Speaker 1: hear so many women and you know, people talk about
Speaker 1: how the song inspires them, and you would hope that
Speaker 1: music could do that, you know, give you some strength
Speaker 1: and encouragement to keep it moving when you need to.
Speaker 1: Now that's good. Can we talk let's get the stuff
Speaker 1: from the beginning, because we haven't seen you in a
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, it's been a while. Last time I
Speaker 1: seen you, was just learning how to cook? Wells I
Speaker 1: learning how to or was I talking about more that
Speaker 1: I could do? Okay? We last time we've seen you
Speaker 1: with dating future and what happened with future? I know
Speaker 1: you guys had a baby. Everything was so great and huh, well,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's just it clearly didn't
Speaker 1: work out. Um, But I have the greatest gift, the
Speaker 1: greatest joy of my life is my son, um. And um, honestly,
Speaker 1: I feel like everything in life happens for a reason.
Speaker 1: And you know, my son has been the greatest gift
Speaker 1: that God has given me in my life and been
Speaker 1: the most game changing life thing that's happened to my
Speaker 1: life in a necessary way. So you know, I mean
Speaker 1: that's pretty much what happened, What didn't work out, what happened,
Speaker 1: what what we know? I can't really I can't really
Speaker 1: break all that down, um, you know, because I don't
Speaker 1: even think it really matters to tell you the truth,
Speaker 1: you know, especially again when the ending is as great
Speaker 1: as it is with my son. Um, you know, that's
Speaker 1: what worked out. My son. Are you guys still cool? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we're cool. Were we we can we well, you
Speaker 1: know what it is we have We have a child together,
Speaker 1: you know. And I think as a parent it's important
Speaker 1: to be able to communicate even if you don't talk.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't talk, and we don't talk every day,
Speaker 1: there's no need to. But you know, my son is
Speaker 1: you know clearly the connection between he and I and
Speaker 1: as parents, I think it's important to be able to communicate.
Speaker 1: So I I like to stay happy and I like
Speaker 1: to um. I like to live life light and make
Speaker 1: the best of life. And I think that when you
Speaker 1: carry a certain kind of energy, or if you have
Speaker 1: like a funky energy that you hold on within yourself,
Speaker 1: you just can't grow and you can't really like move
Speaker 1: how you need to. So for me, I just like
Speaker 1: to be happy and cool with pretty much everybody you know.
Speaker 1: And that's just pretty much it. And it's always it's
Speaker 1: always a lesson learned too. When you're in a relationship
Speaker 1: and things don't work out and you look back and
Speaker 1: you say, okay, next time, I know, when this and
Speaker 1: this happens, it's probably time for me to oh, you
Speaker 1: live and you learn. I mean, my son is giving
Speaker 1: me so much clarity, you know, especially now being an awful,
Speaker 1: I'm full on woman. You know, you don't really understand
Speaker 1: what that really means until a few things happen to
Speaker 1: you in life. But my son is totally giving me
Speaker 1: so much clarity. And I couldn't be any more clear
Speaker 1: than I've needed to be, like needed to be. And
Speaker 1: you know, I definitely know a lot of things that
Speaker 1: I don't want, I really know, you know, and I'm
Speaker 1: clear about recognizing them when I see them. And I
Speaker 1: know a lot of things that I do want that
Speaker 1: I really hope for, and I won't move or budge
Speaker 1: until I get it. So I think that's kind of
Speaker 1: what happened with my son. You know, he really kind
Speaker 1: of made me. He makes me like I have to
Speaker 1: make the right decisions. Yeah, you're like, I can't be
Speaker 1: up here like, oh, well, you know, if an accident happens,
Speaker 1: it happens, you know. No, You're like, I gotta kind
Speaker 1: of be for sure for sure with things that I do,
Speaker 1: and I mean even down to business decisions, like everything
Speaker 1: that I do affects And I always say, I'm like baby, baby,
Speaker 1: gotta eat, and baby ain't cheap, so I gotta make
Speaker 1: sure I'm making the best decisions I can possibly make
Speaker 1: to make the universe right for him and then of
Speaker 1: course for me too. But you know, he just really
Speaker 1: is the force. He's the reason why for me. Like
Speaker 1: you know, I've always wanted to be successful, but my
Speaker 1: son now just makes it, takes it to a whole
Speaker 1: nother level. It's like, I really have to go out
Speaker 1: here and bust my butt and get it right right, so,
Speaker 1: you know, and I just gotta make the best decisions
Speaker 1: I can make. It has been a while since you've
Speaker 1: been on tour and everything. Yeah, this is different for you.
Speaker 1: It has years. It's been almost it's been pretty much
Speaker 1: six years six years plus since I've been on the road.
Speaker 1: Um and um, it's exciting. You know, I'm honestly in
Speaker 1: such a happy place right now. I do. He's probably
Speaker 1: been like sixteen countries so far. His passport is way Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm a military baby. So when I was young, I
Speaker 1: traveled with my dad, you know, because he got stationed
Speaker 1: in different places. But his passport killed his question my
Speaker 1: passport game that I have when I was a baby
Speaker 1: from moving around and he's just loaded. He's just stacking
Speaker 1: up the stamps. But it's so funny because you realize
Speaker 1: how powerful the tongue is is. When I was younger,
Speaker 1: I would say, if I had a child, I want
Speaker 1: them to see the world. And I am able to
Speaker 1: take my son everywhere with me, and you know, when
Speaker 1: he can really comprehend what's going on, I can really
Speaker 1: break it down and then he don't know. He just rolled,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I have more into what life looks
Speaker 1: like from his perspective because you're rolling through a different airport,
Speaker 1: there's so many lights than you're you're going in a
Speaker 1: different place, you can you can really feel the difference.
Speaker 1: Is I think even if you can't know, if you
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on, you still kind of feel
Speaker 1: you're moving. So I think he's kind of just like
Speaker 1: I just hope that I can continue to do that
Speaker 1: and he'll be able to be really conditioned for the world,
Speaker 1: you know, because I'm like, I'm from the cat to Georgia,
Speaker 1: you know, And in a sense, being a military baby
Speaker 1: helped me out so much because I was able to
Speaker 1: like adjust to any different race culture like no one
Speaker 1: was We're all the same no matter what color. I
Speaker 1: look at row from like the most broad perspective because
Speaker 1: of that, and so for me, it's important that my
Speaker 1: son sees it the same way, Like he should be
Speaker 1: able to adjust no matter where he is and be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm cool, I can move around, I can shake him
Speaker 1: bake no matter what. H Yeah, you know. So now
Speaker 1: when it's time to date another guy, right, huh? How
Speaker 1: long do you introduce him to your son? Um? You
Speaker 1: know what, I think it's just all that when it
Speaker 1: feels right, can you look like you know what? You
Speaker 1: look like? You fall in love fast? You fall in
Speaker 1: love fast? You know what? In the in the let
Speaker 1: me let me think about what I'm gonna say before
Speaker 1: I say. You know, um, you know, UM, I think
Speaker 1: it's just about going with the flow. I used to
Speaker 1: be a person that was really really like trying to
Speaker 1: be super hard, like a Darner date for like almost
Speaker 1: a year before even going to the next place, you know,
Speaker 1: at points. And so for me, um, I think with life,
Speaker 1: you learned that you can't take things you can't you
Speaker 1: can't really call it like you don't know what a
Speaker 1: situation going. You can take a year, or you can
Speaker 1: take six months, or you can take two. My dad
Speaker 1: and mom nine after nine days. I've known my mom,
Speaker 1: they were married and they've been together for thirty one years. Wow,
Speaker 1: So you never know. I'm not going to put a
Speaker 1: time limit on when and when I can't do something,
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm experiment I've been experimenting over life clearly,
Speaker 1: and I'm still trying to figure it all out. And
Speaker 1: so I can't really call industry. Um, you know, never
Speaker 1: say never, but I do. I do think that, um,
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta gotta switch it up a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting a guy who has kids buying
Speaker 1: multiple different women. Now, people were very critical because they
Speaker 1: saw you and flat for that. You got a lot
Speaker 1: of flag for that. Did you feel like that should
Speaker 1: have been like A, well, maybe this is not the idea,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm human, you know, and I went
Speaker 1: I went with I was lit. I went went with
Speaker 1: love in that situation, and so um or in Yeah,
Speaker 1: in that situation, I think that, you know, you can
Speaker 1: be with someone that has no kids and can be
Speaker 1: the biggest jerk in the world, right, you can be
Speaker 1: with someone that's super wealthy and can be the biggest
Speaker 1: jerk in the world. So it doesn't make a many
Speaker 1: different than the one that doesn't have as much or
Speaker 1: who doesn't have as many kids, or you can't really
Speaker 1: call it, you know. And I mean at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I rolle with love and you know,
Speaker 1: my son's father, you know, I really believe had the
Speaker 1: greatest intentions to love me and so and it was
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing came from that. So you know, that's
Speaker 1: just kind of how I see it. You know, you
Speaker 1: can't really call it. You know, they're all siblings, Like
Speaker 1: are you like, okay, let's get the kids together, or
Speaker 1: I mean they are you knowing, I'm really focused on
Speaker 1: raising my son right now and being the best mom
Speaker 1: I can be. You know. Um there is one mom though,
Speaker 1: of the kids that I really got along with very well,
Speaker 1: and so you know when I see her, we definitely
Speaker 1: still get along really good, you know, And it's all
Speaker 1: about the kids anyway, you know. So truthfully, it's just
Speaker 1: like whatever, you know, whatever is the right thing to do.
Speaker 1: Whenever the situation called sport, you just do it. You know,
Speaker 1: your life usually your person like real secretive I did,
Speaker 1: no matter who you were dating. It was very quiet.
Speaker 1: That was the only one of that with this breakup though,
Speaker 1: and then putting out a song like I Bet, because
Speaker 1: the first thing we thought, right was is Sierra gonna
Speaker 1: address this in her music? You know, because it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure it was really difficult for you.
Speaker 1: You had a baby, you were engaged, it was all
Speaker 1: very public, and then it was over, and so we
Speaker 1: were like, is she gonna address this in her music?
Speaker 1: Then you put out I Bet, and it was kind
Speaker 1: of like there's a connection because now we can imagine,
Speaker 1: you know, ourselves going through the same things as Sierra goes. Well,
Speaker 1: you know what UM on this album on Jackie, this
Speaker 1: new chapter of my life is really about being expressive UM.
Speaker 1: And it's about UM really allowing myself to be vulnerable
Speaker 1: because I believe it's healthy to be vulnerable. I think
Speaker 1: that when you allow yourself to like, you know, be
Speaker 1: in touch with your rawest moment, you kind of really fine.
Speaker 1: You really developed character that way. So UM And I
Speaker 1: think that as I've been, you know, been very blessed
Speaker 1: to be on my sixth album and going on like
Speaker 1: thirteen years now, I think it's important that people get
Speaker 1: to really know me and know my voice, and you know,
Speaker 1: I've been experiment experiencing with things over the years, but
Speaker 1: I feel like people haven't really gotten a chance to
Speaker 1: know me, know me, and um, you know, you get
Speaker 1: to that comfortable place as a woman where you're like,
Speaker 1: you know, I am who I am, Like you start
Speaker 1: to really get comfortable with yourself. You're like, this is me.
Speaker 1: You know. I'd rather be comfortable with just being me
Speaker 1: and not trying to please people. And um, you know,
Speaker 1: on this album, I really wanted for people to connect
Speaker 1: to me. So, you know, I bet is experience. It's
Speaker 1: inspired from my experiences in a sense in life. And
Speaker 1: you know, it was one of those songs that really
Speaker 1: stood out because it was just so real, you know,
Speaker 1: so and you know, beyond my current situation or you know,
Speaker 1: this most recent situation. This is like a life story,
Speaker 1: you know, and so it's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's really for everyone, and you know, and I think
Speaker 1: it's really great though, when people do connect to music,
Speaker 1: because that's what it's supposed to be. It's about being
Speaker 1: able to inspire people and being able to maybe help
Speaker 1: someone or you know, touch someone. And I think music
Speaker 1: can't be it can't be any more powerful than that.
Speaker 1: When you do that, and so on this album, you know,
Speaker 1: I am expressive and you get to like, like, there's
Speaker 1: a song I have dedicated to my son, you know,
Speaker 1: but also it's beyond my son. I think everyone can
Speaker 1: relate to it and get something from it. But I
Speaker 1: want to take people on a journey with me, as
Speaker 1: you know, just to hear my voice and where I
Speaker 1: am right now and my whole new chapter of life.
Speaker 1: Like it's just a whole different thing happening with me.
Speaker 1: And what better way than to express it than through music,
Speaker 1: you know. So the album's name is Jackie's Well, you
Speaker 1: know what, it just felt right, you know again, this
Speaker 1: new chapter is it really marks a special time for
Speaker 1: me and me being a mom is the most beautiful
Speaker 1: thing in the world. You know, I can't I don't
Speaker 1: know why I want to get emotional right now, but
Speaker 1: I can't even. I mean, it's honestly been the greatest
Speaker 1: joy of my life having my son. Oh my goodness, moment.
Speaker 1: You know what he is funny, He just does so much.
Speaker 1: Of course, saying Mama was so sweet. We were in Australia,
Speaker 1: actually he said dadda first, you know, but that was
Speaker 1: a natural vow that babies say Okay, he's easy. I'm
Speaker 1: researching the baby say the gay so um. But yeah
Speaker 1: he said mama. Um. That was really sweet. Him calling
Speaker 1: was really cute. Um, because my babies. He's thirty pounds
Speaker 1: like he was. He's been thirty pounds. He's been riding
Speaker 1: this way for like the past three or four months.
Speaker 1: He's been Oh he's huge. You know what. It's the
Speaker 1: simulat burgers. You know, it's the fries on the side.
Speaker 1: You know, we're from the South, so every now and
Speaker 1: then he gets a little a few black eyed peas
Speaker 1: and a few things, you know, when we're having a
Speaker 1: family gatherings and we don't feel it. That is That's exactly.
Speaker 1: It's so wrong. I'm working on and I'm cleaning it up.
Speaker 1: I'm like, my baby's gonna know too much before he's one.
Speaker 1: He's I'm like, yeah, you know, I've had candy yams
Speaker 1: and I've had mac and chee. I'm like, oh lord, Grandma,
Speaker 1: but um, I know, um, but yeah, what were we saying?
Speaker 1: Where were you? Where was I saying? Um, where were you?
Speaker 1: What were about the baby? Yeah? So um that also
Speaker 1: of course him still he can now stand up and
Speaker 1: hold up. He's ready to take the steps and he
Speaker 1: moves your hands away so he can just hold up,
Speaker 1: which is so cute. Um he could say dog, Um,
Speaker 1: he's went swimming. I took him swimming for infant aquatic
Speaker 1: survival classes that seven months and that was oh no,
Speaker 1: let me tell you it was so much fun. I'm
Speaker 1: so so happy I did it and you didn't. You
Speaker 1: don't realize how um, that is the number one leading
Speaker 1: cause of deaths and infants um, and you realize how
Speaker 1: important it is that they are familiar with the water
Speaker 1: and how they need to know how to respond if
Speaker 1: they fall in the water, and that you think they
Speaker 1: don't really care. Well, you turned out all right, a
Speaker 1: little crazy, but I'm not sorry. No, but um, I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's moments like that, you know, where you
Speaker 1: just see them like learning and developing and growing and
Speaker 1: you know, he's really funny, he loves laughing, and I
Speaker 1: mean it's just so many things that really, you know,
Speaker 1: they're the highlight of my days, and you know, and
Speaker 1: day and my day. You can't even really pick one thing.
Speaker 1: It's just everything you see them doing just brings a
Speaker 1: light to your face. When he first smelled you, know
Speaker 1: that was the sweetest thing, because you know the first
Speaker 1: few months they're kind of like it there he did. Okay, Oh,
Speaker 1: let me tell you what happened. Um. Actually, oh, this
Speaker 1: might be really bad to say. Um, but I had
Speaker 1: a really fun moment. Or I was changing his diaper
Speaker 1: and I looked, you know how you like you're holding
Speaker 1: them there there, and it's like he's probably like three
Speaker 1: or four months, and he was like, you know, crying.
Speaker 1: I was reaching down and all of a sudden, out
Speaker 1: here like this right and now I look up. He
Speaker 1: was pink in his face because you know, you hold
Speaker 1: the legs up, you hold the diaper, and I literally
Speaker 1: legs up and then yeah, and I looked. I literally
Speaker 1: was going for two seconds, like any mom will tell
Speaker 1: you that. You know, in two seconds anything can happen.
Speaker 1: Legs up and I looked up. I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: you know what it did happen? It is no, it does,
Speaker 1: hold the legs put the diaper underneath. No, he is not.
Speaker 1: And I'm not please not say that. You know what,
Speaker 1: now you're making me feel like I should lower my bed.
Speaker 1: My bed is really high. You shouldn't have him in
Speaker 1: a bed. No, you know what, I mean, here's a deal.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this. Do you barricade your baby in? Yeah?
Speaker 1: All that. Here's my rule. I barricade my baby in
Speaker 1: right because and being then I travel you know. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, my baby's sleeps with me a good thing.
Speaker 1: You know. I have them bring the cribs in, but
Speaker 1: the crib never really works out. He's my teddy bear,
Speaker 1: you know, so I can't really like let him be
Speaker 1: you know, in the crib too long without me and
Speaker 1: without him. Um. But um, yeah, I basically have a
Speaker 1: rule like if I have to, you know, step away somewhere,
Speaker 1: I'll have someone stand there, you know. So um, I'm
Speaker 1: very very very mindful of it. And I mean I
Speaker 1: can't tell you the other crazy details but of things
Speaker 1: that I do. But I make sure that my baby
Speaker 1: is not really in that bed by himself. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: multitask I can do three things three things at one time.
Speaker 1: I tell you a last baby story. You know what,
Speaker 1: when I have my first daughter, this is what made
Speaker 1: me want a second kid so fast. I had a
Speaker 1: penny on the floor and my daughter was a crawler,
Speaker 1: grabbed the penny through it in the mouth. It's no
Speaker 1: freaking way I cried. I thought my life was over.
Speaker 1: I called nine one one, what's yourmency? My daughters a penny?
Speaker 1: I'm crying, crying, and like, sir, she can she breathe?
Speaker 1: I mean yes. It was like, it's fine, she swallowed
Speaker 1: the penny, it'll probably come out in the doodle. I
Speaker 1: was like, no, she's gonna die. And they wouldn't say
Speaker 1: an ambulance. That's as long as she's breathing, she's all right.
Speaker 1: So I had to check the doodo for the last
Speaker 1: for the next four panthers to see if the penny
Speaker 1: was in there, but it finally came through, So so
Speaker 1: it's all right. The moral to the story is that
Speaker 1: they're going to always poop it out, that's right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jadi recently said that your song, I bet it's a
Speaker 1: rip off of an Usher song he produced. Now I
Speaker 1: think he actually corrected that statement. No, he did, Yeah
Speaker 1: he did. I didn't. I didn't get to see the
Speaker 1: whole thing, but I think he actually kind of said
Speaker 1: something to kind of you and cool. We are cool,
Speaker 1: you know, Jermaine is cool, But Jermaine's an expressed of person,
Speaker 1: like Jermaine has always been expressive over the years, you know,
Speaker 1: and I don't you know really guys, right, like that's
Speaker 1: the last one thing about having a baby. You really
Speaker 1: don't care about a lot of stuff, you don't. You
Speaker 1: be like he's happy? Yeah, okay, yeah, they said, what now? Okay? Cool?
Speaker 1: All right, Well so what we're gonna do is on
Speaker 1: this next video. You know, you just you really don't
Speaker 1: really have time to sweat stuff, you know, and um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, Jermaine, if Jermaine walked in the door right now,
Speaker 1: we could hug each other. So he's an expressive person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never understood. And I tell this to Charlemagne too
Speaker 1: when he's here. What is the problem that people have
Speaker 1: with Sierra? Because you've always seen like a very nice,
Speaker 1: humble person. I've always been a fan of Sierra's me
Speaker 1: thank you even, and you always have like the hit
Speaker 1: songs that come out in the videos. I'm like, she's
Speaker 1: a great entertainer. She's a great warmer as well. And
Speaker 1: then I see people like going at you, Like Tamar
Speaker 1: Braxson was like, what is Sierra singing this heart for?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I didn't know, y'all. I think
Speaker 1: she corrected that too. I did see that which is
Speaker 1: so funny. And I don't know what she was trying
Speaker 1: to say, but I mean if she was trying to
Speaker 1: say something crazy, I really don't care right, Um, but
Speaker 1: you know I do think that because every time I've
Speaker 1: seen Tamar has always been loved too. So I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know what people trying to say. You know,
Speaker 1: I think do you know what happens is people are
Speaker 1: bullying you when you go as somebody or you can't
Speaker 1: do that. Well, you know it's so funny. Again, I
Speaker 1: saw she was saying that she wasn't trying to say
Speaker 1: something bad about it, So I don't know what her
Speaker 1: intention was with that. You know, I'm gonna take it
Speaker 1: as she wasn't trying to do anything funny and she
Speaker 1: got something. She was being sincere. I'm gonna take it
Speaker 1: she was being sincere with her um positive you know
Speaker 1: statement that she said after people were you know, assuming things. Um,
Speaker 1: but um, what was it gonna say? You have to
Speaker 1: you know what it is? But something man, because you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I will I will speak when
Speaker 1: I feel it. You know I've spoken before. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I think it's just we when when we're in music
Speaker 1: to me, music is like one of the most powerful
Speaker 1: and one of the most positive things in the world,
Speaker 1: and so I think that that's just the energy. You
Speaker 1: gotta kick with it. Like, you know, when I run
Speaker 1: across my peers, you know, I feel like it should
Speaker 1: always be all love because they're very blessed to be
Speaker 1: some of the few people doing this that actually get
Speaker 1: to do it in front of the world, you know.
Speaker 1: So I like to roll with that energy, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't like to get into the high schoolness of it,
Speaker 1: because there can be a high school part of this,
Speaker 1: you know, where people can click up or people can
Speaker 1: be you know, you can kind of feel the energy.
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm not really own that, like you know, Um,
Speaker 1: I'm my own click, you know. Um, I'm happy with
Speaker 1: my click. I love my team, um you know. And
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just like to make the best
Speaker 1: of it, like you consider to be friends, like out
Speaker 1: of your peers, out of my peers, my closest friends.
Speaker 1: To be quite honest with you, um, there's really only
Speaker 1: one that is professionally known nes Lala. I've known her
Speaker 1: for I don't know, probably eight however many years now,
Speaker 1: and my other closest friend in the music industry. But
Speaker 1: isn't you know, um famous is my makeup artist and
Speaker 1: best friend, Yoland, who I've known since I was sixteen
Speaker 1: years old. Um. You know, I'm pretty consistent with those
Speaker 1: with with those ladies. Um. You know, in reference to
Speaker 1: the singers, you don't find like people that you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's my home girl. Well, you know, I do have
Speaker 1: people I get along with though now. But in reference
Speaker 1: to my closest friends who I you know, really talk
Speaker 1: to every day about like super duper deep stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: those are my two closest girls. And of course, like
Speaker 1: girls like Kelly, I love her. She's so sweet and
Speaker 1: her get along very well. And our babies are kind
Speaker 1: of growing up around the same time, you know time here,
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be really fun to see our babies grow. Um.
Speaker 1: There's also like women like Janelle Muney, who I don't
Speaker 1: talk to her at all on the phone, but every
Speaker 1: time I see her, you know, it's always love. Um.
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, one of my friends actually is an actress, um,
Speaker 1: Lily Collins, um, and she's super sweet. Um you know.
Speaker 1: But to be honest with you, you know, again, my
Speaker 1: two people I talk to every day I can name,
Speaker 1: I can name like probably I don't know how many
Speaker 1: girls like pretty much every girl I get along from
Speaker 1: my perspective and my experience. I get along with when
Speaker 1: we see each other's always love so deep friendship Yeah,
Speaker 1: not deep where we talk every day about you know,
Speaker 1: super duper details like my friends circles really small and
Speaker 1: I like it that way. Um, you know, but I
Speaker 1: do like getting along with the girls. Like I'm a
Speaker 1: girl's girl. So when we're doing events or we have
Speaker 1: to do like you know, um, like there's a stand
Speaker 1: up to cancer, even when all of us girls got
Speaker 1: together and saying for something, you know, beyond saying Mariah myself, um,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift, whoever, it's fun when we all get along
Speaker 1: and we always show love. Now that I do have,
Speaker 1: I feel like we're pretty much every girl for the
Speaker 1: most part. Yeah, looked him. Yeah you know what, my man,
Speaker 1: you know what it is my son. He rolls with
Speaker 1: me all the time. And there's so much girls around
Speaker 1: that I want to make sure that there is a
Speaker 1: man hand in the mix. And that worked out perfectly
Speaker 1: because my dad really loves kids, and my dad was
Speaker 1: an amazing father to me. So I thought it would
Speaker 1: be awesome for him to be there, and I had
Speaker 1: did like twenty meetings like with Nanny's and it literally
Speaker 1: was like nope, next, nope, next, nope, you know, and
Speaker 1: so I was like, this is just this is really complicated,
Speaker 1: Like it's not as easy as I wanted to be.
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know what, the male thing
Speaker 1: is important to me. And so my dad was perfect
Speaker 1: for the job. And no, you know, I don't, Um,
Speaker 1: I have some, but I don't need it, um, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's worked out perfectly for me. I mean, at
Speaker 1: some point, you know, my dad's gonna have to kind
Speaker 1: of just really fall into the grandpa lane, you know,
Speaker 1: when there's a guy in the mix. Um. But but
Speaker 1: for now it works out easy. Do you do you mind? Like,
Speaker 1: does future see your son without you there? Because I
Speaker 1: know some mothers are very like, yeah, you know, he
Speaker 1: actually was just with um, his grandmother and his dad
Speaker 1: UM the other day and his family, his brothers and
Speaker 1: sisters and stuff. And that makes me so happy, you know,
Speaker 1: because he gets to like with me, he wrote solo,
Speaker 1: so he knows just like that kind of environment. But
Speaker 1: it's great when he gets to be around other kids.
Speaker 1: And his family and get that energy and all of
Speaker 1: them treating him like the little brother. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: you probably called every five minutes like what's he doing? Now? No,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. You know. I did check in,
Speaker 1: you know, just to say how's it going? Because I
Speaker 1: was flying, and so I wanted to make I always
Speaker 1: have this thing like before I fly, because I haven't
Speaker 1: really flown without him that much that I get to
Speaker 1: check in and say, you know, how's my little juicy man.
Speaker 1: You know, what's he doing? Yeah, my juicy man? And
Speaker 1: so I wanted to, Yeah, because he's been juice man,
Speaker 1: So I want to check on him and see how
Speaker 1: he is, you know, and see what funny things are happening,
Speaker 1: because he really is funny, like you know, and um,
Speaker 1: it's just for that reason, like I do think it's
Speaker 1: import for people to have their space too, you know,
Speaker 1: and and you know, have their moment too. So yeah,
Speaker 1: now back to the last album. When the first week's
Speaker 1: sales came out last week? Yeah, Charlemagne who was not here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the twenty one gun salute? Okay, what is that when
Speaker 1: they say bye bye? That's okay, So that didn't work. Okay,
Speaker 1: albums you know what I was first and foremost, I
Speaker 1: was very proud of that album. Um, I was really
Speaker 1: really proud of the body of work. You know. We
Speaker 1: didn't get promote it all the way. Um, but I
Speaker 1: feel like the album was necessary from even being back
Speaker 1: on being back on Ethic um, you know, and being
Speaker 1: back with LA. It was just it was important to
Speaker 1: get everything started and rolling, and the system was still new,
Speaker 1: even for LA it was new, and um, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it was just really it was I'm
Speaker 1: really proud of that body or work. So um, you know,
Speaker 1: even if it didn't sell you know, tons of records. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm still proud of it, you know, and and thankful
Speaker 1: for the opportunity, you know. And so that's how I
Speaker 1: see it. And certain things like I'm sure if you
Speaker 1: would have went on tour, I think that you know what,
Speaker 1: everything one thing totally is like it's like a domino effect,
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't have certain things set up
Speaker 1: around it, you know, it does make it more challenging.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think the reality is for me
Speaker 1: is and I'm I'm I feel like I'm now getting
Speaker 1: my rhythm back, you know from what people always may
Speaker 1: have you know, for how how from when I first started,
Speaker 1: like I was able to keep it moving and moving
Speaker 1: and moving, and now we're finally getting some of the
Speaker 1: things that are necessary to support the music, that allow
Speaker 1: you to really promote it and keep the whole journey going.
Speaker 1: Because as we know, you know, this new day, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's a bit more challenging. It's a bit more
Speaker 1: you have to work even harder, you know, I think
Speaker 1: to really um, you know, to sell records and you know,
Speaker 1: who knows what happens when my album comes out this
Speaker 1: go around? You know. Um, I'm very very confident in
Speaker 1: the body of work. I like it's my best body
Speaker 1: of work to date, and I can stand on that,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm excited because I do have my
Speaker 1: tour happening, um, which is going to be fun because
Speaker 1: I get to present the music how I want to,
Speaker 1: you know, And I think if you can do everything
Speaker 1: you want to do, your job is done, you know. Now,
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. I want to be successful, So
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna be like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: I can't see it on any any other way than
Speaker 1: up any ways, to be honest, because I'm just I
Speaker 1: believe the body of work really speaks for itself. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, so I don't know. I mean, I'm with
Speaker 1: the last album. You put out three singles the last album, right, Ye?
Speaker 1: The first two didn't connect? Yes? Why was that? Because
Speaker 1: I didn't like that? Well you know it's so funny.
Speaker 1: Well you know it's so funny. You can go, you know,
Speaker 1: give me that? I'm what not give me that? What
Speaker 1: was it? Um? Uh? Almost a song? Not? Yes, I
Speaker 1: can hum? Got me good? I said, give me that
Speaker 1: because it's a tempo and maybe think about whatever. Um
Speaker 1: so um, got me good? Um? I love that song
Speaker 1: and I love that video and it didn't work, but
Speaker 1: it's okay. Somebody said, you know what, let's try No.
Speaker 1: I was trying my stuff, all right, you know, and
Speaker 1: even with Sweat, Sweat was a jam. Do not get
Speaker 1: it twisted if we I think that if we would
Speaker 1: have sat with that record a little bit longer, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it would have been cracking in the club.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But either way, you know, you try some,
Speaker 1: you lose, you might win to you win some, you
Speaker 1: lose some. I didn't. The first two didn't work right, okay,
Speaker 1: but uh sorry, actually worked good too, though for what
Speaker 1: it was, that song actually performed very well. We just
Speaker 1: you know, just for the tempo. Train just was taking
Speaker 1: a longer time, but it was showing to be something
Speaker 1: that people were liking and connecting to. But um, your
Speaker 1: videos are always really important to your songs too, just
Speaker 1: because you are an dance and everybody always WANs to
Speaker 1: see a dance. Hey, thank you. You know what it is.
Speaker 1: It is about just completing a story, I think more
Speaker 1: than anything. It's like, you know, the visual is about
Speaker 1: bringing more light to the song, and you just hope
Speaker 1: to have the best song first and foremost so that
Speaker 1: when you give the visual it does take it to
Speaker 1: the next place. Um. Body Party, of course was a
Speaker 1: very special song. UM. And then um yeah, and then
Speaker 1: we just we didn't really have everything you know, as
Speaker 1: lined up you know to continue on um at that
Speaker 1: time period. Then, of course, and I had my baby.
Speaker 1: Oh no baby, I care. So let me tell you
Speaker 1: one thing about me. I'm gonna tell you this from
Speaker 1: my hand. I'm gonna always be focused. A man in
Speaker 1: my life has to respect that and understand that man
Speaker 1: will never stop me from living my dream and man
Speaker 1: will never get in the way of me doing anything
Speaker 1: that pertains to my work. So I can be all
Speaker 1: in love and all that stuff, but I'm gonna be focused,
Speaker 1: so that doesn't change the thing. But I am very
Speaker 1: happy that for the first time in my life, um
Speaker 1: within in reference to being in the music world, um
Speaker 1: and working so hard, that I took a moment to
Speaker 1: live my life and like, I carved out two months
Speaker 1: to be just mom after I had my son, because
Speaker 1: I knew I can get that time back. And those moments,
Speaker 1: to me, were the most important for me mentally, because
Speaker 1: you know, you just work, work, work, work, work, That's
Speaker 1: all you know. And then it's like, okay, but what
Speaker 1: am I working for? So now with my son, I
Speaker 1: got more purpose. Okay, did your body jump right back
Speaker 1: to snap right back? Oh? You had to work. I
Speaker 1: had to work my blood off and I was running
Speaker 1: like a zombie. I was literally like really bad. Oh no,
Speaker 1: it was hard core. I trained like two to three
Speaker 1: times a day. Yeah, and I would literally and I
Speaker 1: was on a mission because I gained sixty more pounds.
Speaker 1: I gained sixty pounds weeks. Yeah, And I was like
Speaker 1: it's a lot. And I was talking to my obstetrition.
Speaker 1: I was like Okay, so when can I get in
Speaker 1: the gym because I couldn't wait, Like, I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna enjoy this whole like comfortable, you know, sixty
Speaker 1: pound life because sixty pound life you can eat anything
Speaker 1: you want to. Burger's cheese, French wise. Oh no, I
Speaker 1: was wearing them big T shirts for a long time.
Speaker 1: Thank God for being a tomboy because that kind of
Speaker 1: saved me a little bit. Um but no, I gained
Speaker 1: sixty pounds. So um, I literally once I got to
Speaker 1: go to go on that machine. I remember the first
Speaker 1: day I tried it. My son had been such a
Speaker 1: great sleeper, he doesn't cry a lot. Everything was good.
Speaker 1: So I went upstairs, Um, so you'll get on the
Speaker 1: elliptical machine. And I was like, I'm gonna go up
Speaker 1: there right now. He's sleeping, he's gonna stay sleep. I
Speaker 1: got him in this cradle, I got him on a thing.
Speaker 1: I'm pushing it. And as soon as I got on
Speaker 1: a traidmer like twenty minutes and he's like yeah. I
Speaker 1: was like, seriously, Mama, gotta lose the paths right now.
Speaker 1: So either way, I got my game plan together. I was, um,
Speaker 1: have my baby at the gym with me. Um my train,
Speaker 1: my train of Gunner will tell you like he had
Speaker 1: an office space, we had a stuff around. I was like,
Speaker 1: I gotta do what I gotta do. And I was
Speaker 1: breastfeeding up until four months, so I had a system.
Speaker 1: I would wake up, breastfeed through my clothes on, eat,
Speaker 1: go to the gym, comeback, breastfeed like I was on
Speaker 1: a mission. And I literally just did it down to
Speaker 1: his science like I was. I was like, okay, I
Speaker 1: can go now one hour cardio. Then I trained like
Speaker 1: literally two to three pounds a day. Yeah. So I
Speaker 1: did what I had to do, and of course I
Speaker 1: changed my eating regimen, like you know, I still had
Speaker 1: moments where I put like pizza and like cheeseburg and
Speaker 1: French fries in there, because you need that to break
Speaker 1: up the cycle. If you're like trying to do healthy stuff,
Speaker 1: you cannot be going like balls to the wall every
Speaker 1: day like you're gonna go crazy. So I made sure
Speaker 1: I still had like my fun stuff in there so
Speaker 1: I wouldn't plateau, and then I would go right back
Speaker 1: to it. And the craziest thing for me is I'm
Speaker 1: used to my body responding fast. I just remember looking
Speaker 1: up being like, what what the what the slam ham?
Speaker 1: I'm like, how many more pounds do I have left?
Speaker 1: And wisn't taking so long to get this one pound off?
Speaker 1: And then I did tons of water. My advice to
Speaker 1: anyone that wants to lose like weight, if you want
Speaker 1: to drop a lot of weight and you want to
Speaker 1: do it quickly, believe it or not, tons of water
Speaker 1: would alter in your diet. I was losing like two
Speaker 1: pounds a day at one at some point, so you know,
Speaker 1: I just was like, just go hard to you can't
Speaker 1: know more, just run, run for us. Run Basically, what's
Speaker 1: going on with the dreds? You had dreads in your
Speaker 1: head on? Yeah, I did weird. I experimented whatever I
Speaker 1: mean was here. It was weird to you. But a
Speaker 1: lot of girls been rocking dreads, so I'm just saying, though,
Speaker 1: I sure did, but I tried them and I liked them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what it was? It was convenient. It was
Speaker 1: like the concept of doing braids, and instead of doing braids,
Speaker 1: I did the dreads because I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: we always do braids, and um they were full dreads
Speaker 1: and um it was fun. Like that's all right. I
Speaker 1: just became a mom, So okay, that's that's cool. I
Speaker 1: just became a mom, So whatever you want to say.
Speaker 1: You can hit on my dress all you want to.
Speaker 1: But I liked my dreads and it was cute for
Speaker 1: me like that. Okay, Yeah, rasterfaring And I know you
Speaker 1: also have a variety each other you're part of yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: but we did see you in some movies. Okay, and
Speaker 1: now you have that, I can do that, I can
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah. You know what, Um, well, television the
Speaker 1: film is a world and I'm still you know, warming
Speaker 1: up in um. And it's a world that I really
Speaker 1: want to be a part of. And um, you know,
Speaker 1: my the latest film that I have done, you know,
Speaker 1: was the one with Adam Sandler, which was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. Um and just being able to work with
Speaker 1: someone like him was probably one of the best experiences
Speaker 1: I could have had. Did you have to audition? And
Speaker 1: yeah I did. I had to audition, um, And I
Speaker 1: was nervous as heck. Um, but you know, thank god
Speaker 1: I got the got the opportunity. Um. But in reference
Speaker 1: to what I'm doing now, this is a show on NBC.
Speaker 1: It comes out at airs May twenty six and it's
Speaker 1: called I Can Do That, and it's myself, Jeff dy
Speaker 1: Um who's a really cool UM actor I'm sorry, a
Speaker 1: comedian and actor, Um, Alan Richardson, Joe Jonas, Nicole Scherzinger,
Speaker 1: and I'm missing someone else right now, Marlin Wayne's as
Speaker 1: the host UM and based on Sheryl Burke. That's why
Speaker 1: I was forgetting Sheryl Burke as well. Um Yeah, from
Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. And so it's really a wide
Speaker 1: range of us on the couch and I think that's
Speaker 1: what makes this show so cool and diverse, because you
Speaker 1: get a bit of comedy, you get a bit of us,
Speaker 1: you know, entertainers coming from our world. You know, we
Speaker 1: do this stuff every day, you know, the performing part
Speaker 1: of it. Marlon is so funny, he's the host of
Speaker 1: the show. He's hilarious. So you on this on this
Speaker 1: variety show, you get comedy, you get you know, you
Speaker 1: also get to see us very vulnerable because you get
Speaker 1: to see us doing things that we've never done before.
Speaker 1: So the theme behind I Can Do That is kind
Speaker 1: of like every week, three different acts. I'm up on
Speaker 1: the stage and there are things that we don't even
Speaker 1: were going to come out and we're like, when we
Speaker 1: see them doing it, we race up the stairs. He
Speaker 1: stares a light up. We race up the stairs to see,
Speaker 1: like I want to do that first, and we see
Speaker 1: like I can do that, And so then we have
Speaker 1: to pick a partner that we do it with. And
Speaker 1: then basically we take like a week and sometimes less
Speaker 1: than a week to actually challenge, complete the challenge, and
Speaker 1: like perform it in front of the fans after we've
Speaker 1: done it. I had no idea what this show. I
Speaker 1: was trying to figure it out. Yeah, and then we
Speaker 1: compete against each other, so you know, there's a point
Speaker 1: prize in the end, and there's a trophy in the end,
Speaker 1: and the fans they vote every show. The fans are
Speaker 1: actually in the audience, and it's really funny. I can't
Speaker 1: tell you anything, but all I gotta say it's really funny.
Speaker 1: This voting system is hilarious. But it's really it's really fun.
Speaker 1: It is a fun variety show. It's really like playing
Speaker 1: a live in person video game. You know. For me,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't wait to see what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: this week, Like what am I gonna do? And I
Speaker 1: get to do so many things that I've never done before,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what's great, and even as it
Speaker 1: relates to my chapter in my life, because I am
Speaker 1: in a lot of things that are unfamiliar to me
Speaker 1: and I like that. I like that challenge. I like
Speaker 1: because it allows me to grow. And so on this show,
Speaker 1: you get to see us be very vulnerable. You get
Speaker 1: to see us be challenged. You get to see us
Speaker 1: like you know, and in states you would never see
Speaker 1: us in like, for example, in music as artists, we
Speaker 1: really expressed only through music basically in videos, you know,
Speaker 1: and sometimes interviews we do, but you know, you never
Speaker 1: really get to know us beyond that. And on this
Speaker 1: show you get to see me like I have fun
Speaker 1: and just be free and just just me. Yeah, try
Speaker 1: some new things. Yeah, it's a lot of things I
Speaker 1: can do. I've learned you and really had like a
Speaker 1: little Twitter beef years ago. Did y'all have seen each
Speaker 1: other since then? I haven't seen her, not at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah I haven't, But y'all squashed it out because I
Speaker 1: know you want Army's on Twitter. Nobody wants to get
Speaker 1: in none of that be you know what. I've always
Speaker 1: been a fan of her work. I'm happy for her.
Speaker 1: I've always said that that I've never had any position
Speaker 1: other than that, you know, in reference to the things
Speaker 1: that have happened. I still can't tell you what and
Speaker 1: why till this day. UM, but I've always had love
Speaker 1: for her music and stuff. So I mean, and I mean,

Speaker 1: my word about it? That's when I'm the only girl around. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's like based like you're just you're keeping honest,
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna be just the only one, you know,
Speaker 1: when it's convenient for you. You know, I'm going to
Speaker 1: be the only one, the only one, like I don't
Speaker 1: play any other way, yeah, you know, and just being
Speaker 1: the only one period, you know. Like I think that
Speaker 1: guys listening, this new generation, this new age should be
Speaker 1: about chivalry. It should be about just trying to step
Speaker 1: the game up, like we gotta step it up, you know.
Speaker 1: And I don't know where I'm going with this, but
Speaker 1: you just made me think about this, like we've got
Speaker 1: to go to another level right now, um just with
Speaker 1: the with how I don't I can't even explain all
Speaker 1: the way, but like whether it's even how people express
Speaker 1: in music, like you know, girl Got a Girlfriend and
Speaker 1: this and this song three Girls two Girls on a Girl,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what's going on right now, but
Speaker 1: I believe that music is infectious and it's very powerful,
Speaker 1: and I think we've got to use it a little differently.
Speaker 1: Um So on this album, I like I was able
Speaker 1: to do a little bit of that. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: There's some songs on there where you're gonna get a
Speaker 1: little you know, you're gonna have a little Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a ratchet on there. Now, I got the ratchet. I
Speaker 1: got the pop, I got the bottom, I got all
Speaker 1: of it on there. I agree with you. I was
Speaker 1: always saying, I love when I see men that I
Speaker 1: committed to women and talk about getting married, And yeah,
Speaker 1: it's so much sexier, you know what I'm trying to
Speaker 1: tell you. It is so much sexier to have yos together.
Speaker 1: You know, it really is. And I don't even think
Speaker 1: like you. They always say like a person is more
Speaker 1: attractive when they're taken, and you know, you can't be
Speaker 1: afraid of that. Like, I just think we have to
Speaker 1: try to make the best of our lives and you know,
Speaker 1: put good things in it, the best things we can,
Speaker 1: and you will have a much healthier life when you
Speaker 1: just live it better and when you try to live
Speaker 1: it as clean as you can. We're not perfect, we're
Speaker 1: all humans. We all make mistakes. That is just what
Speaker 1: it is. But we just got to like just do
Speaker 1: more and and I think talk about a little bit
Speaker 1: more than just you know this. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: happening in these days. It's just really turned up with
Speaker 1: the I don't know how to explain it, but that's
Speaker 1: not even Yeah, it's like come home now, like another
Speaker 1: girl got a girlfriend. I don't even know whose song
Speaker 1: that is. And I hope not to offend anybody right
Speaker 1: now because I'm not trying to, but you know, just
Speaker 1: the idea, just saying something a little yeah. Oh I
Speaker 1: love Rico, Rico, Frank, I don't think I'm trying to
Speaker 1: talk bad about you, because I see that's what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, Rico's amazing, so I don't want him too.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I just that just can line girl got
Speaker 1: a Girlfriend came to my line because I think it
Speaker 1: kind of has been a theme throughout a lot of songs,
Speaker 1: these guys winning girls to have other girls in the
Speaker 1: bedroom and be fine with let's just talk about something
Speaker 1: a little mo. She's a young girl, something MO. Help
Speaker 1: us out now? Oh gosh, bad. Yes, and he left
Speaker 1: some questions for you. Oh god, he needs to be
Speaker 1: in person to ask me questions. I don't like him
Speaker 1: messaging anything to me right now because I got a
Speaker 1: thing with him, since he want to talk all this
Speaker 1: junk about me. Say, they'll be sitting right there in
Speaker 1: that chair. You can try, you can try to throw
Speaker 1: some questions out there if you want you But I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna tell you, I'll come. I'll come back and
Speaker 1: get to see him because that's important to me. Like,
Speaker 1: you can't be up there talking about me all the
Speaker 1: time and then deliver questions via telephone or be an
Speaker 1: email or whatever you want to call, Like, I want
Speaker 1: to see him in person, right because you managed to
Speaker 1: make it back from it. I'm just saying, the day
Speaker 1: I decided to come to power, this is what happens,
Speaker 1: really like, I was really disappointed. I'm not gonna lie
Speaker 1: to you. I wanted to walk up in here and
Speaker 1: see his face because I got a couple of things
Speaker 1: I might want to say to him. Not I might,
Speaker 1: but want to So all right, so all right, So
Speaker 1: if you wanted to say something to Charlom, what would
Speaker 1: you save you the city? All I have to say
Speaker 1: about Charlotta Mayne, it goes back to what I was
Speaker 1: just saying. Just now, you know I can't I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna go do it with the Charlotmagyne way because I
Speaker 1: think his wage is messy. Um, But I just think
Speaker 1: he's got to put a little bit more in the
Speaker 1: universe than than than the things he talks about. Like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing for you to have fun
Speaker 1: comedians joke all day coet. You know people, you know,
Speaker 1: there's people that it's their job to you know, be
Speaker 1: a to be a jerk okay basically, and and to
Speaker 1: be not even a jerk, but to be you know,
Speaker 1: to kind of have an opposite position within things and
Speaker 1: just to be kind of funny that way. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think there has to be a balance of what
Speaker 1: he does. You know, I think sometimes he goes too
Speaker 1: far for no reason. I don't think it's necessary to like,
Speaker 1: you know, I remember one little mom was sitting here,
Speaker 1: I saw the interview. I thought it was bad. How
Speaker 1: I can't remember everything he was saying, but I thought
Speaker 1: he went a little too far just from my apologize
Speaker 1: for that, right, Okay, cool, So I didn't know. I
Speaker 1: didn't know he apologized. Actually, oh no, no, no, but
Speaker 1: whatever it was. Um, I just think that there has
Speaker 1: to be a balance to it all. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: do your job. It's your job to be you know,
Speaker 1: to make noise. That's what makes you who you are.
Speaker 1: People say Charlomagne because they know he's Charlomagne, you know,
Speaker 1: but just find some kind of balance with all of it,
Speaker 1: you know, that's my personal opinion. You know, um, you know,
Speaker 1: how fun do you? What you do doesn't affect me.
Speaker 1: You know you're not going to stop me from making
Speaker 1: my money. Clearly you haven't stopped me, you know, so
Speaker 1: that is what it is. But just you know, kind
Speaker 1: of pull a little more substance than all the stuff
Speaker 1: that he's doing. That's what I personally think. You know,
Speaker 1: go ask his questions. She wasn't he He don't ask me.
Speaker 1: He needs to ask me, he said, no, he needs
Speaker 1: to be here. Charlemagne's final thought, players final thiught right,
Speaker 1: let's say his final thought and let the record show Sierra.
Speaker 1: I've never disliked you. I just simply when your album
Speaker 1: only sold fifteen thousand records in the first week that
Speaker 1: it was called Basic Instinct, I just gave it a
Speaker 1: twenty one gun salute and said that album was dead.
Speaker 1: Never your career, your album, it's different. Yeah, okay, I
Speaker 1: thought you could sing, but I think you're a great entertainer.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, first of all, it wasn't fifteen.
Speaker 1: It was really low, but it wasn't fifteen, So get
Speaker 1: that number right. But you know you can. It's it's
Speaker 1: like a for me with him. Either you one way
Speaker 1: or the other. He goes in on me every time.
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that. I kept thinking. I was like, did
Speaker 1: he trying to talk to me? And I said, Nos,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to understand why is he going so a
Speaker 1: hard body on me? That's how I've always felt. I
Speaker 1: couldn't understand it because it seemed like it was very
Speaker 1: stinted on me, like I could have done something really good.
Speaker 1: It feels very personal, and I'm like, well, when I
Speaker 1: went to Wendy Williams back in the days, was it
Speaker 1: something I just was really trying to think about, Like
Speaker 1: what is it with me? You know? But every successful
Speaker 1: person has their journey. You know, There's been times when
Speaker 1: every person that you see right now at the tip
Speaker 1: top of their game has been challenged and those moments
Speaker 1: of what makes you who you are? And I know
Speaker 1: for a fact I'm going to be here for a
Speaker 1: very long time. And Charlomagne knows it too, Okay, So whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, his blessings and love to him too. I
Speaker 1: hope I can send some love into his little crooked
Speaker 1: heart he has. Well, there you have the Jackie in stores, mate,
Speaker 1: for there's the day joining us. Thank you decided to
Speaker 1: come up here will I cut him that day? Thank
