Speaker 1: say Joe. And of course I've been in reality TV
Speaker 1: now for like four or five years now, Stevie, you've
Speaker 1: done reality TV as well. Obviously, I wanted to bring
Speaker 1: someone whose life has obviously transformed and changed ever since
Speaker 1: he started doing reality TV as well. So I don't
Speaker 1: know where to start, but I really want to get
Speaker 1: into details of like other things that people don't get
Speaker 1: to see, the behind the scenes, how dramatic it is,
Speaker 1: how stressful it is, the long hours, the editing, the people,
Speaker 1: you know, people trolling on social media after they watch
Speaker 1: an episode. There's just so much to it, the producers
Speaker 1: of this that it's a lot. Well, the fans want
Speaker 1: to know how do you get into reality TV? Like
Speaker 1: could you give someone some poiners of how to get
Speaker 1: on TV before we get in with Bob, because I'm
Speaker 1: you know, you have to do you have to say
Speaker 1: the best for last, I'm gonna I'm gonna talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about my experience, and then I'm gonna bring
Speaker 1: him in. So y'all stay tuned because he's coming. He's coming, y'all,
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this me now. In my case,
Speaker 1: I honestly loving him. I wasn't my first reality TV.
Speaker 1: It was my first American reality TV. I had a
Speaker 1: ready done bel A TV when I was in Tallahigande.
Speaker 1: I did the Latina, I had done a couple of
Speaker 1: other things. I also had the possibilities of doing Meet
Speaker 1: I Can Buila, which was also on Univision. It was
Speaker 1: like Dancing with the Stars, the Latin version. So I
Speaker 1: had already. You know, I've had some experience in reality TV.
Speaker 1: Bedo nothing like Love and hip Hop. Love and Hip
Speaker 1: Hop was just like zero to a thousand, not only
Speaker 1: because of the exposure, um the stories told, the drama
Speaker 1: just overall. It was very different. But I'm so grateful
Speaker 1: for it because they gave me an opportunity to get
Speaker 1: a new fan base, to showcase who I am as
Speaker 1: a person, my relationship with my mom, my music, just
Speaker 1: my journey in life. And you know, I'm grateful for
Speaker 1: It's definitely been something that I'm grateful for. Are you
Speaker 1: doing any new ones? Like yes, I heard yes, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you know? Well, yes, now I am
Speaker 1: going to be one of the hosts of on, which
Speaker 1: basically it's like looking for the next beauty queen, but
Speaker 1: in this case you have to be able to perform um,
Speaker 1: just be well educated. It's like a three sixty type
Speaker 1: of woman that they're looking for. And then she also
Speaker 1: gets money, right, a big contract on Univision as a
Speaker 1: TV host and just great opportunities. There's a really big platform.
Speaker 1: What's the process though, how do you get into a
Speaker 1: reality TV show? Who do you gotta contact? Is Scott?
Speaker 1: But I mean there's there's auditions, you have an agent
Speaker 1: or you just hear about you know, he says, she's
Speaker 1: say type of energy, and you go you audition and
Speaker 1: based on your personality and if they like you then
Speaker 1: you know, if you click, then that's pretty much it.
Speaker 1: You know, you start the process. But the process is like,
Speaker 1: there's no script because that's something else. And I'll have
Speaker 1: Bobby confirmed that because people are like, is it scripted?
Speaker 1: Did they tell you what to say? No, it is
Speaker 1: not scripted. It's sometimes it's a little bit awkward the scenario. Sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know, they'll be like, Okay, you're gonna meet up
Speaker 1: at a restaurant or whatever, and you're like, usually I
Speaker 1: would never go to this restaurant and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: like your exces, you know, just walks in or something like.
Speaker 1: The scenario may be a little bit awkward, but there's
Speaker 1: no script. No one tells you what to say, no
Speaker 1: one tells you how to act. You just do you.
Speaker 1: And I'm loving this. So I get to ask you
Speaker 1: a couple of questions. So loving hip hop Here's it's
Speaker 1: no like, it's no strength thing that loving hip hop
Speaker 1: Miami is out and Yo, your part in it is
Speaker 1: very controversial, and I know that people like see the
Speaker 1: actual questions, ask the questions, actual questions. Okay, So number one,
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for putting South Tomo on
Speaker 1: the map again. I mean a lot of people have
Speaker 1: but to put this mainstream loving hip hop is incredible.
Speaker 1: So go check out South America and hopefully hopefully you
Speaker 1: go stay out. I'm out of residence when you go visit. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm really I'm really excited for the fact that you're
Speaker 1: doing that Um, I know that when we go to
Speaker 1: our homeland and to our motherland, we become like attached
Speaker 1: to People don't understand because like when you're saying you
Speaker 1: want to stay in Dominican Republic, like who wants to
Speaker 1: leave motherland where you're accepted, where people look like you,
Speaker 1: where you don't have to deal with bullshit, you don't
Speaker 1: have to deal away you know, people be and crazy
Speaker 1: towards you because but at the same time, I have
Speaker 1: my hook career here in the States. I love my home,
Speaker 1: my little things that I do. I could always do
Speaker 1: TV in the Dominican Republic or do music or do
Speaker 1: anything else, but it's a little bit different. It's I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's kind of like having paradise, right. The
Speaker 1: Dominican Republican is like paradise, But the meno thing. I
Speaker 1: was born and raised in Miami. I'm a three or
Speaker 1: five girl all day, so it's kind of hard finding
Speaker 1: that balance. But definitely for those that watched the second
Speaker 1: episode of Loving Hip Hop Miami, you saw me promoting
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic at Porto Alto. Any opportunity I have
Speaker 1: to talk about I always do my best, you know,
Speaker 1: make sure everybody knows about it now, Alan real quick
Speaker 1: as that's amazing. Um. You know he's helping you, um
Speaker 1: with your vision and but it co decides with his vision,
Speaker 1: which is very important. But you guys will see more
Speaker 1: of that on the show. So shout out to Alan,
Speaker 1: very nice guy. How hard is it? Quick? Last question
Speaker 1: for you and never gonna go right into your Bobby
Speaker 1: likes your mother. How did it feel bringing her onto TV?
Speaker 1: You know that's very sensitive. You know people are and
Speaker 1: the people love your mom. You know, Um, how hard
Speaker 1: was that? Were you nervous that you know your mom
Speaker 1: might be attacked? Your mom might be you know, how
Speaker 1: did you feel? My mom is not really like a
Speaker 1: TV person. She's kind of shy and awkward and she's
Speaker 1: just like, okay, do you you know I'm gonna support you. Um.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I feel like people have
Speaker 1: come to love my mom because of the way that
Speaker 1: she is. She's transparent, she's just her and I love
Speaker 1: that about her, you know. Or she doesn't try to
Speaker 1: act like a celebrity. She's just my mom. And I
Speaker 1: think that you also need that realness when you talk
Speaker 1: about reality TV or when you talk about TV overall.
Speaker 1: People these days are too small. They can that it's smart.
Speaker 1: They can smell when when you're being phony, when you're
Speaker 1: being fake. People like that organic transparency. And I think
Speaker 1: that my mom is like that mom that everybody can
Speaker 1: relate to. What do you regret like seeing? I know,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna ask Bobby the same question, because you
Speaker 1: guys look amazing on TV, right, can't about that, But
Speaker 1: what is one scene or one thing that you regret
Speaker 1: like that you wish it was never put on camera?
Speaker 1: You know? They asked me this during a special that
Speaker 1: they did for Love and Hip Hop, and it came
Speaker 1: out so wrong because based off editing, they were like,
Speaker 1: I regret being with m J. And that's not what
Speaker 1: the hell I said, because what I had said what
Speaker 1: I regret being with m J on TV only because
Speaker 1: we had, in my eyes at the moment, we had
Speaker 1: such a great relationship and everything, and once you know,
Speaker 1: our life got exposed on national TV, people feel like
Speaker 1: they had the rights to give their opinions and just
Speaker 1: things got it. It puts a lot of pressure in
Speaker 1: your relationships. A lot of times you see these relate,
Speaker 1: these celebrity relationships and you see that things don't work
Speaker 1: out but everybody's all up in your business. Everybody has
Speaker 1: a comment, Everybody wants to judge you, Everybody wants to
Speaker 1: give you advice. Everybody come on too much. If I
Speaker 1: would have just kept my relationship private, I think we
Speaker 1: would we would have lasted longer. But at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you know, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: God's having is perfect and things happen when they are
Speaker 1: supposed to. What I what I love about this, remember
Speaker 1: just as Michael through podcast, right, Yeah, and my what
Speaker 1: I loved is that you guys brought the culture, you know,
Speaker 1: especially with the scene in Salto Amingo. You hear to
Speaker 1: them bowl. You guys kept it real and even the
Speaker 1: little suthing people are like, oh why size is the
Speaker 1: medicrant part No Santo Domingo like salsa. So that was accurate. Um,
Speaker 1: I think that it's I'll say this. I'll say this too.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I want to give
Speaker 1: special shoutouts to all the producers. I'm living hip hop, Miami, Mona,
Speaker 1: VH one, everybody, this entire Miami, Brian, every Eddy, Um
Speaker 1: Marcus our producer, to James, just everybody, Matty Godmin. I
Speaker 1: want to give a shout out to them because they've
Speaker 1: also done such a great job at also maintaining somewhat
Speaker 1: right the Latino aspect into love and Hip Hop Miami
Speaker 1: in comparison to other franchises. You know, there's other franchises
Speaker 1: that are more vomucy Americanized, but they've given us a
Speaker 1: possibility to still maintain Latino and keep that you know,
Speaker 1: that sassiness. That's the song that we have. So I'm
Speaker 1: definitely grateful for that. Well, speaking of Latinos, you know,
Speaker 1: you don't think that I'm really exciting. I'm really excited
Speaker 1: about this next guest that we have. Actually, I was
Speaker 1: getting a haircut the other day and someone was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know Bobby. Um Bobby actually used to play football
Speaker 1: in the hood back in the days. So I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: So we need to know like some real stories about Bobby.
Speaker 1: Lights like, so the story. So I'm gonna let you
Speaker 1: make the introduction. I'm out, uh want exactly amount of
Speaker 1: Bobby Like yes, well, let mean, let me do it.
Speaker 1: This is my friend. I know him from way back
Speaker 1: way back when we were like hanging out at the
Speaker 1: USA Flea Market here in Miami. You know when things
Speaker 1: were tough when we were trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about we're like maybe like fourteen sixteen years old,
Speaker 1: trying to make it into the music industry with big dreams.
Speaker 1: We never thought that we would be where we're at today.
Speaker 1: We had big dreams, but I never thought that part
Speaker 1: of my journey would be to reconnect with Bobby. I've
Speaker 1: seen how hard he's worked his whole career. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I am so proud of him. We've had her ups,
Speaker 1: we've had her downs, but I'm so proud of him
Speaker 1: because I say, everybody wants to make it, but it's
Speaker 1: very few of us that are chosen, and Bobby has
Speaker 1: been one of those that has been chosen. He's controversial,
Speaker 1: he always figures out a way to stay viral, and
Speaker 1: it is an honor and a pleasure to have my
Speaker 1: friend Bobby lights on Exactly Amma, whoo whoo, whoop. Hi Bobby, Bobby,
Speaker 1: Why are you so controversial? You know what? First of all,
Speaker 1: hey y'all, I'm happy to be here on exactly a Madam.
Speaker 1: So my thing is, you know, I just kind of
Speaker 1: just speak my mind, and I think in the society
Speaker 1: that we're living in now people really are like they're
Speaker 1: like attractive or they have uh, I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is to have af that's that's infatuation with someone
Speaker 1: that just speaks to mind. And for me, it's like
Speaker 1: I can't even leave a comment. And if it's the raw,
Speaker 1: if it's too spicy of verus to like me being
Speaker 1: real is a Bobby Lights has a word for so
Speaker 1: and so, and it's like me, just I feel like, okay,
Speaker 1: well I followed the neighborhood talk off out of the
Speaker 1: shade room. If I see a post, I'm gonna comment.
Speaker 1: You know, that's what it's for. But you know, some
Speaker 1: people just can't take my mouth. So people can't take
Speaker 1: the realness. I feel like the reason why I'm so
Speaker 1: controversial is because of that. Like I just keep it real.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm from Miami, so you know what period.
Speaker 1: And not only that, but I also want to give
Speaker 1: you props because I know that you're a big advocate
Speaker 1: for the lgbt UH community and just I always mess
Speaker 1: it up and please clarify me because I think lgbt
Speaker 1: Q plusnit I know, but you know, we gotta just
Speaker 1: rot with it exactly. So I always do my best
Speaker 1: to try to be educated. I mean, please teach me
Speaker 1: if I don't know. But um, you're a bit advocate
Speaker 1: for it. You know, I almost feel like you're an
Speaker 1: activist as well. You're always, I always say, on social
Speaker 1: media defending uh those that that you know, people are
Speaker 1: being cruel to or whatever the case may be. And
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for that because I feel
Speaker 1: that Love and Hip Hop has also given you a
Speaker 1: bigger fan base, a bigger platform. And I look the
Speaker 1: way that you're using it. Why do you feel that
Speaker 1: you should be so vocal about it? And also do
Speaker 1: you feel that being on Love and Hip Hop has
Speaker 1: you know, given you a bigger platform and has helped
Speaker 1: you to feel more empowered to talk about it? Yes?
Speaker 1: So first to reverse that question, like, first, if it
Speaker 1: wasn't for Love and Hip Hop read you know, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't even have the platform that I have to even
Speaker 1: where my voice would even matter. Um. So yes, because
Speaker 1: of Love and Hip Hop giving me the platform that
Speaker 1: I have. Now, you know, I have a very conscious
Speaker 1: decision because you know, a lot of people don't understand
Speaker 1: there's different layers in me. Like I'm a very intelligent person.
Speaker 1: I I sometimes think out every action that I do.
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes I'm like, should I post this because you
Speaker 1: know the controversy, you know the backlash is about to come,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know what, yeah, because I can,
Speaker 1: you know, so I always evaluate everything. So with that
Speaker 1: being said, once I knew I had the platform, I
Speaker 1: found it imperative for me to be able to defend
Speaker 1: those that don't have a voice, defend those that feel like, wait,
Speaker 1: there are so many people are now with a platform
Speaker 1: this against us, but who what the platform is for us?
Speaker 1: And a lot of times I don't happen with the gay's,
Speaker 1: Like there's very few that come out and defend the gates.
Speaker 1: So I feel like the least that I can do,
Speaker 1: whether people view me as a big platform or not.
Speaker 1: To me, I know my power. I know that people
Speaker 1: my voice is heard. So I do that because I
Speaker 1: know that there are people out there that are thinking
Speaker 1: the same thing, you know, So I just people are
Speaker 1: thinking and um, yeah, it wasn't for loving hip hop,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have the platform. I mean at least not
Speaker 1: at the point in my life. Because I was I
Speaker 1: always knew I was destined for greatness and I was
Speaker 1: gonna be famous. And I still haven't even reached my
Speaker 1: goals that I want to reach yet, you know. But
Speaker 1: you know, but I feel that, UM, loving hip hop
Speaker 1: is a great start. It's a good start, it is.
Speaker 1: And another thing is your music because um, I have
Speaker 1: a lot of relations with the labels and I was
Speaker 1: up North I was located up North UM for a while,
Speaker 1: the New York area, and they always said, um, Bobby
Speaker 1: can spit like he got he got lyrics, like he's
Speaker 1: good at what he does. And I know for the LGBT,
Speaker 1: um Q plus you know community, they don't take those
Speaker 1: rappers serious. They it's it's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: like Sydney and and other people they when that are
Speaker 1: coming out, it's so harder. It's so much harder for
Speaker 1: for them, and which you is like you don't care
Speaker 1: your yourself and you have star power, you know. And um,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to bring that up. How difficult was
Speaker 1: it for you to be taken serious in this industry?
Speaker 1: And why not just in the industry, but when it
Speaker 1: comes to reality TV the fact that do you feel
Speaker 1: the reality TV loving hip Hop did a good job
Speaker 1: at exposing and giving you an opportunity to showcase yourself
Speaker 1: as a real true rapper. Yes, So initially, you know,
Speaker 1: my storyline was um met my struggle and how hard
Speaker 1: it is being an artist in the industry period, and
Speaker 1: then how hard how much harder it is being a
Speaker 1: openly gay rapper, and people are taking serious. But I
Speaker 1: think there's a certain point where I was able to
Speaker 1: kind of prove you know that I'm you know that
Speaker 1: I have what it takes. I just feel, my opinion,
Speaker 1: this is music. In my opinion, I feel like they
Speaker 1: don't really like right now, they're just not really ready.
Speaker 1: I think they're getting ready now. X kind of made
Speaker 1: it a better open up more lanes, but I feel
Speaker 1: like they just weren't ready when I came out, because
Speaker 1: this was like over four or five years ago now
Speaker 1: since season one, right, but it's been a good well,
Speaker 1: the pandemic didn't capital five finding we filmed, and we
Speaker 1: didn't air to like a whole year later. Like people
Speaker 1: remember we we filmed season one and we were like,
Speaker 1: what are we gonna air? They kept pushing it that
Speaker 1: boone and then and then finally January. We're like January,
Speaker 1: like it was a whole year after. We're done feeling.
Speaker 1: But so it's been a while since I've been able
Speaker 1: to prove what I that I have what it takes.
Speaker 1: But of course for me, for me, it was more
Speaker 1: so like a situation where I was kind of like
Speaker 1: you know, um, willing to like just kind of like
Speaker 1: take the risk and see how people took it, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But for me, I really didn't
Speaker 1: pay attention to none of the until later when I
Speaker 1: seem like, Okay, they won't get mixed, they're not ready
Speaker 1: for they don't want real talent, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like they don't. They didn't at least I'm talking about
Speaker 1: then now, like I said, we have said Anna, we
Speaker 1: have said Tanna, we have loans X who kind of
Speaker 1: open up more now and now I feel like they're
Speaker 1: able to now accept you know, openly gay rapper from
Speaker 1: when I do pop back out and drop my ship. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I feel like, um, the people know, the people
Speaker 1: know who was the first. Like I mean, no, let
Speaker 1: me now, let me also ask you this. Um. So
Speaker 1: today we're talking about reality TV and that's why I
Speaker 1: feel like this was great for all three of us
Speaker 1: because we've all done it. But I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the part that the people don't get to see
Speaker 1: people just think, oh, you dressed nice. You you know,
Speaker 1: you hop in your car, you do your reality TV
Speaker 1: show and then that's it. They don't know how many
Speaker 1: hours it takes into filming, the editing, the producers, the stress,
Speaker 1: the this, the drink throwing, the fights, the can you
Speaker 1: tell me, like, what has been the most memorable moment
Speaker 1: that you remember that you've done on reality TV? And
Speaker 1: if you could tell people what reality TV really is
Speaker 1: behind closed doors? What would you tell them, like, what
Speaker 1: does it look like? Because they don't know, so first
Speaker 1: of all, you are definitely you know well, first of all,
Speaker 1: I want to be making something clear for season one too.
Speaker 1: When I was a rookie, it was way different and
Speaker 1: you can relate. I'm not sure, but they used to
Speaker 1: hold me in the van for hours, hours hours before
Speaker 1: we will film a scene. Now I don't play that ship.
Speaker 1: I'm like, give me the address, I'll pulling up. I'll
Speaker 1: pull up, and I pull up right at the nick
Speaker 1: of time, right when it's time for me to get
Speaker 1: miked and right when it's time for me to get
Speaker 1: off set. Time is valuable. One thing people have to
Speaker 1: understand when it comes to reality TV you don't get
Speaker 1: paid by the hour. You get paid episode baby, So
Speaker 1: I keep that in mind every time when I and
Speaker 1: it's nothing personal, it's just read. As you become more
Speaker 1: and more you know, solidified on the show you have,
Speaker 1: you become more and more busy because you have more
Speaker 1: priorities now, right, So now it's like, I don't have
Speaker 1: time now to be on set for fourteen hours for
Speaker 1: them to not even use this scene. What does it
Speaker 1: look like for you filming reality TV? So the behind
Speaker 1: the scenes, the long hours of filming, the editing. Have
Speaker 1: you have they ever edited something to you're like, that's
Speaker 1: not what I said that, That's not how that was
Speaker 1: supposed to come out. Yes, plenty times. But you know me, like,
Speaker 1: my thing is this, I just I've seen how other
Speaker 1: cast members get booted off and get blackmailed and all time,
Speaker 1: and I see when they start exposing ships, So I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what, I'm not gonna I just
Speaker 1: rather not talk about that side of the like when
Speaker 1: it comes to like the edding, because it's like, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, as long as I edited
Speaker 1: me to say something I totally didn't say, then I'm cool.
Speaker 1: But they definitely you know, remake certain things in cert
Speaker 1: certain things, and I mean that's part of making TV.
Speaker 1: Is loving a pop scripted? Do they give you a script?
Speaker 1: Exact him? It's far from scripted. I mean there's a way,
Speaker 1: there's a pattern. Of course, they have to know what's
Speaker 1: going on for story, and that's probably I think what
Speaker 1: the people to answer that question. I think why the
Speaker 1: people think of script is because it comes out so perfect,
Speaker 1: Like loving hip hop is like almost like you're watching
Speaker 1: almost like a show kind of so. But no, it's
Speaker 1: just that we're all stars. We all know how to
Speaker 1: we all know how to perform and put on for
Speaker 1: the TV, and we all that's why we have been
Speaker 1: casting for the show. We know how to give good television.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna all perform for the for the viewers.
Speaker 1: But nothing is scripted. No. Is there anything you regret about,
Speaker 1: you know, being in reality TV? Is there anything wrong?
Speaker 1: The only thing I regret I always talk about this
Speaker 1: is that one scene where I came up the wig
Speaker 1: and I almost beat your asked, that's right, talk about it.
Speaker 1: Let them know. For those that didn't get to see
Speaker 1: that episode, it was it was it was because you know,
Speaker 1: it was because it was you, I feel bad, and
Speaker 1: then also I just felt so I look so stupid,
Speaker 1: Like when you just see what I look so stupid?
Speaker 1: Expanded to them for those that didn't get to see,
Speaker 1: what's scene are you talking about about? To see where
Speaker 1: it was like this was the only followup me and
Speaker 1: the model really had that like what was it season two?
Speaker 1: For season three? Yes, season two, okay, season two, and um,
Speaker 1: it was like this fake And that's the thing. Another
Speaker 1: thing I'm not gonna say it's great drama, but on
Speaker 1: love and Hip Hop, I realized back then we were
Speaker 1: letting like a lot of the petty petty petty ship
Speaker 1: from the show create division when it's not even real
Speaker 1: life beef like out in the real life. It's like,
Speaker 1: girl that ain't not serious, Like real life beef is
Speaker 1: something different from me. The raisings are good. Raidings are good.
Speaker 1: You have to put on for the camera. You have to.
Speaker 1: That's the only I mean, you're saying anything. I regret.
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I regret. Literally, that's the only
Speaker 1: because I just look stupid, like I hate it. And
Speaker 1: just also the me and princes that little debacle. I
Speaker 1: wish I would have just never agreed to even take
Speaker 1: it there with him because I look madly in love
Speaker 1: with him and it looks psychotic on my behalf. So
Speaker 1: but you know that's part of me living and learning,
Speaker 1: and that's why you're like, it just creates the thing
Speaker 1: was like never again, bitch, you literally learned. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, never to just let that happens. Ahead. God,
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to see me achieved me. Hey, this
Speaker 1: is between you and me and me and you Okay,
Speaker 1: don't say nothing. Look but okay, I saw him the
Speaker 1: social media because I know, get back in the days
Speaker 1: or what or whatever, you used to be really tired
Speaker 1: with the Prince, And don't say, do you do you
Speaker 1: guys know what happened to Prince? Okay if you don't,
Speaker 1: let me tell you. And don't say when you go
Speaker 1: to social media on the blog, no, so you so
Speaker 1: do you know that I actually talked to I recently
Speaker 1: because we have to get the background story for the
Speaker 1: people that don't know Prince met that Prince used to
Speaker 1: be on Love and Hip Hop Miami. He was there
Speaker 1: like the first season, in the first two seasons and
Speaker 1: don't say later on he came out on social media
Speaker 1: or whatever that they accused him of kidnapping. I know
Speaker 1: they said that he kidnapped a girl and they say
Speaker 1: he beat here or something, and it was like PRIs
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe with princes would do
Speaker 1: such a thing and don't say. Later on, I saw
Speaker 1: Bobby hanging out with Prince after he came out of
Speaker 1: the jail. Bobby, what happened? So you know, I got
Speaker 1: I gotta's cool. First of all, they're dropping the charges
Speaker 1: that kidnap in charges because that wasn't true. Um. Also,
Speaker 1: it was just a big misunderstanding. It was his ex girlfriend.
Speaker 1: You know how females. I don't know her personal I
Speaker 1: don't know who she is, but you know how females can,
Speaker 1: you know, take things to the next level. Ladies be
Speaker 1: careful with their with what you're saying. But they also
Speaker 1: had to take in consideration if she says it was
Speaker 1: something serious. Don't know what happened, so we're not judging
Speaker 1: him before he told I honestly see how the charge
Speaker 1: is gonna be dropped because it really wasn't nothing he
Speaker 1: did wrong. He was at his house. She came there,
Speaker 1: um knocking, being on the door. He was in the shower,
Speaker 1: came out with a towel and she started beating his
Speaker 1: ask because of an argument that had prior. Either way
Speaker 1: either where it goes no matter get go, fuck or
Speaker 1: leg no matter what. Even if he was wrong during
Speaker 1: the text or whatever, she still didn't have to right
Speaker 1: the show to this house and put her hand on.
Speaker 1: But look how it flipped around. Look how it's getting
Speaker 1: in trouble. And now do you think do you think
Speaker 1: that reality TV and being exposed, you're having your life
Speaker 1: completely practically exposed to the world, makes people feel and
Speaker 1: be more judgmental towards you. Yes, people definitely make their
Speaker 1: assumptions of you, and then you create like you formed
Speaker 1: this hate group against you, Like there's a whole militia
Speaker 1: of people out there that just don't like Bobby Lights.
Speaker 1: Like anytime they post me into blogs, they'll be like,
Speaker 1: h shut up, Bobby, just go the away, aren't you.
Speaker 1: And literally, the way I put it is like this,
Speaker 1: I can't pay my bills or I can't go by
Speaker 1: no motherfucking food, I can't go shopping with nobody's opinion
Speaker 1: of me, And damn sure it can't put it to
Speaker 1: you if it's a comment. So if that's the case,
Speaker 1: I ignore it. I get I'm totally numb and used
Speaker 1: to the negative comments and the judging like I literally
Speaker 1: do not let it get to my to me, I
Speaker 1: create my own space, my own realm. The negative energy
Speaker 1: cannot affect me. It doesn't. When are we gonna see?
Speaker 1: When are we gonna see Bobby Lights family? Like your mother,
Speaker 1: You're you're black, and you're African American and Mexican, right,
Speaker 1: I always going you with Domerican. Oh, I'm not Mexican,
Speaker 1: Cuban and black, Cuban and black, and I just shot
Speaker 1: to all the Mexicans, we love you. But someone means
Speaker 1: but um no, because I'm very proud to be Cuban.
Speaker 1: So but no. So I'm Cuban and black and um
Speaker 1: I also have a Cherokee on my father's side, like Cherokee,
Speaker 1: which I just recently found out. And it's so season two,
Speaker 1: you see my mom um for one episode and then um,
Speaker 1: this season you're gonna see You're my whole storyline. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't want to give too much away, but you're
Speaker 1: gonna get to see more about me and my father
Speaker 1: and what's going on with him because he's not in
Speaker 1: my life. I've never been in my life and you'll
Speaker 1: see why. And um, so I'll be so, who's Cuban?
Speaker 1: So who's Cuban? And your family and my father is
Speaker 1: African American? Okay, cool, Now let me continue going to
Speaker 1: team because this is what I want to know. I
Speaker 1: know this is very important. Tease me, Okay, So anyways,
Speaker 1: I also want to know about me being and I
Speaker 1: know that you know. I feel like we're only like
Speaker 1: asking you the question. So also being on reality TV, um,
Speaker 1: do you feel that reality TV helps you build relationships,
Speaker 1: helps you build friendships, or it can destroy friendships? Because personally,
Speaker 1: eventually I'll talk about my experiences on Living Hip Hop,
Speaker 1: but I really want to make this about you. But personally,
Speaker 1: I felt that I was gonna be friends with certain
Speaker 1: people that I was like, damn, I like her, she's pretty.
Speaker 1: I would love to be her friend. But then some
Speaker 1: petty drama may have happened and out of us sudden
Speaker 1: we're like we hate each other. So yeah, like I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, I was really into Ronica Vega. I really
Speaker 1: liked her. I thought that she was pretty. I thought
Speaker 1: that she standing for the Latino community. I thought that
Speaker 1: she was just like she's fashing forward, I thought a
Speaker 1: great many great things, just like I felt about step
Speaker 1: LaCour in the same way I felt about Prima Donna
Speaker 1: at one point last season. So I felt like, damn,
Speaker 1: I would really like to be these girls friends, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, because of some petty drama that
Speaker 1: may have happened on the show when the cameras were off,
Speaker 1: we actually ended up disliking each other. So has that
Speaker 1: any ever happened to you or has caused you any conflict? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. I mean, I'm sure you've had
Speaker 1: cast members that you had issues with after the cameras
Speaker 1: were off. Um, prints is only one mm hmm. Okay,
Speaker 1: because even when me and you, when we had our
Speaker 1: little thing like we didn't take we I think we
Speaker 1: knew it was just for TV. Well not just for TV,
Speaker 1: let me say that. But yeah, I know I really
Speaker 1: disliked your ass. I ain't gonna run that was really
Speaker 1: mad at you, like I was bad at you because
Speaker 1: I really felt it we was friends and trading me
Speaker 1: So a good positive note, okay, and I understand that, um,
Speaker 1: but a good positive note like for me in real life.
Speaker 1: I really didn't hate you in real life. I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, whatever, I never talked bad about you
Speaker 1: bring it up, like said, what's when? I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm just talked to him. Were like
Speaker 1: you know how that I would comment certain things, certain
Speaker 1: things was ending up on the shape. Remember we at
Speaker 1: the VMA's. Oh my god, we're talking about it. We're
Speaker 1: like in high school. Remember the bas it was like
Speaker 1: you and Jojo, that was me. I mean it was
Speaker 1: wasn't me and no, it was me and Jojo, Prince
Speaker 1: and Jojo, and it was me and Jojo, and then
Speaker 1: you and Prince exactly too, and yes, Bobby calling out Bobby.
Speaker 1: It was like so it was like we were it
Speaker 1: was on showed up to the VMAs. We decided to
Speaker 1: go with one another. That's my first time actually hating
Speaker 1: you with Jojo. I go with Joe Jo. She all
Speaker 1: of a sudden as well. Prints They're like they didn't
Speaker 1: go together, but joall linked up together after in the
Speaker 1: red carpet and y'all were doing it together, And it
Speaker 1: was so funny because me and Jonah were over there.
Speaker 1: I was just talking. I'm like, yeah, you see prison
Speaker 1: Amada later over there, you see that. It's real though,
Speaker 1: but let me tell you it was literally based off
Speaker 1: of the show. We were like, it's still coming off
Speaker 1: of the show. The VMAs was like during the time
Speaker 1: when we I think we were either still filming or
Speaker 1: we yeah, we were still filming. Yeah, but no, no,
Speaker 1: I'll ask you this. I know that you're a great rapper,
Speaker 1: You've done reality TV, You've done so many things in
Speaker 1: your life and your career. What does the future look
Speaker 1: like for Bobby? What what can we expect that if
Speaker 1: you or what are your dreams? Because sometimes you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be doing this, Yeah that's great, but what
Speaker 1: do you really dream like I want to accomplish this? This, this, this?
Speaker 1: What do you have in your mind? Because I know
Speaker 1: you're also popping in the only thing hands. By the way, guys,
Speaker 1: if you want to see him, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: only fans I saw him. And if you want to
Speaker 1: see Bobby made that booty clap, y'all can follow him
Speaker 1: his only fans go for it. But what else do
Speaker 1: you want to do? So you know what? For me
Speaker 1: when you just ask me that question flat out, like, ultimately,
Speaker 1: I just want to be a multi millionaire and not
Speaker 1: a billionaire right to the hell. Yes, I want to
Speaker 1: be a multile I want to be a billionaire. So
Speaker 1: better doing what how? So that's what I'm saying. So like,
Speaker 1: I want to just build and perfect my empire. I
Speaker 1: want to be able to act successfully. I want to
Speaker 1: be able to music successfully. I want to be able
Speaker 1: to have restaurants that are successful. I want to be
Speaker 1: able to have products, cosmetic lines, whatever it is that
Speaker 1: I can put my hands on that can contribute to
Speaker 1: my empire, that fits my brand, that elevates me. Because
Speaker 1: I'm over just saying the because people like, what's your dream?
Speaker 1: I used always been I want to because want to
Speaker 1: be famous, but it's like I became famous now what like?
Speaker 1: So it's like for me it has come down to
Speaker 1: the money. I want to be able to create, like
Speaker 1: you said, generational wealth, like I want to be able
Speaker 1: to take care of my family and my family's family.
Speaker 1: I want to be able to provide for my community.
Speaker 1: I want to be able to do big things for
Speaker 1: my community, not just what's my opinion. I want to
Speaker 1: be able to get back and donate a hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars and so want for me to do that, I
Speaker 1: have to be extremely rich, and I just want to
Speaker 1: get to the work, get to it and make it
Speaker 1: happen in all avenues. Okay, So tell me it's fame
Speaker 1: what you thought it would be? And if so, what
Speaker 1: what has it become or what really is it? Same? Definitely,
Speaker 1: it is not what I thought it would be. Um.
Speaker 1: Now I know what it is though, but it's not
Speaker 1: what I thought it would be. I thought it was
Speaker 1: for one, when I was little, that was like it
Speaker 1: seemed like to me that was my goal and like
Speaker 1: that was all I aspired to be. But as I
Speaker 1: got older, I wanted more out of life, and I
Speaker 1: realized away, as I'm wanting more out of life, I'm
Speaker 1: reaching this goal of becoming famous because I was one
Speaker 1: of my goals. I manifest, I manifested everything in my
Speaker 1: life now, so I'm to do so and um and
Speaker 1: for me, fame has just become like a tool. That's
Speaker 1: all it is. It's just a definitely be famous and broke.
Speaker 1: I've seen it. I've seen it and I've been it,
Speaker 1: so I know. I know. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: quote unquote famous people who are broke as hell with
Speaker 1: their fake ass jewelry and the rented cars, and the
Speaker 1: clothes that they wear and return it back. So don't
Speaker 1: fall for the trad have some of them don't have
Speaker 1: money to get at a rental car. That's a good
Speaker 1: thing to talk about. On reality TV. Everything you see
Speaker 1: on reality TV isn't real to I mean, I've heard
Speaker 1: of cases where they rent houses and mansions to just
Speaker 1: say that that's their house just for a scene. I've
Speaker 1: read of cases of just you know, but we can't
Speaker 1: take away. We can't take away from fake until you
Speaker 1: make it and stuff does manifest because I've seen those
Speaker 1: same people on TV with those mansions that are arrunted
Speaker 1: that nowadays have. It's gotten you to that place. So
Speaker 1: it's just about it's just about how you capitalize and
Speaker 1: monetarize on this, you know, particular reality TV thing, because
Speaker 1: reality TV does give you exposure and it does bring
Speaker 1: you to the next level, you know, So when people
Speaker 1: you have to be smart. You have to be smart
Speaker 1: about how you use that platform because a lot of
Speaker 1: people have been given the same platform. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: this from experience. A lot of people have been given
Speaker 1: the same platform, the same opportunities, but they don't all
Speaker 1: use it the same. So it's really about how you
Speaker 1: have your mindset prepared and sometimes you Some people come
Speaker 1: prepared and some people learned that later on through their career,
Speaker 1: later on during reality TV. MITA, I don't want to
Speaker 1: take too much of Bobby's time because I know he
Speaker 1: has to go. Um, I'm waiting for the COVID lady
Speaker 1: to just me okay, oh that's right. Since well that's
Speaker 1: another thing now that things have changed because of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: We now get COVID tested to be two days uh
Speaker 1: filming that right there? That's yeah, that's horrible. Yeah, how
Speaker 1: has reality TV changed out with COVID? Now? We got
Speaker 1: to experience loving hip hop before COVID and during COVID
Speaker 1: and the aftermathical so we're getting like a little bit
Speaker 1: of everything. Um, but it's really really is way different now.
Speaker 1: They have different expectations from us as far as safety
Speaker 1: purposes of course, and then we have to get tested
Speaker 1: a few times a week, which is horrible to me.
Speaker 1: I hate it. But do I meet that Bobby? I,
Speaker 1: like I said, I have been if maybe it was
Speaker 1: up to me, I will be talking to you for
Speaker 1: the next two hours. No, no, no, no, we can't
Speaker 1: go without asking you a question. I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: and then I have a closing question for him. But
Speaker 1: I have a question, so Little Nosax has the little
Speaker 1: Noasax because I don't want because people be like, oh Bobby,
Speaker 1: this Bobby that I'm like, No, there has to be
Speaker 1: more to that. They'll be trying to play my guy, Bobby.
Speaker 1: Has Has there been any exchange within anything d MS? No,
Speaker 1: it could be even a d M. It could be
Speaker 1: even alike, it could even be h. Has there been
Speaker 1: any exchanges between you and Little Nasax? I've spoken to
Speaker 1: him in person? Do you only spoke I spoke to
Speaker 1: him in person and I actually i've seen him twice.
Speaker 1: Actually okay, and your old terms are on and like
Speaker 1: that because we saw you with him at the v
Speaker 1: M as like we saw you guys. It was another
Speaker 1: time in l A when we're another award show, the awards. Okay, alright,
Speaker 1: there goes there as a gentleman. Bobby is not just
Speaker 1: there's something there. But listen, Little nos X said my
Speaker 1: name and he talked about me an interview. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if you'll seen that interview. He thinks I'm cute.
Speaker 1: He said it in the interview. You could go watch it. Um,
Speaker 1: who doesn't think you're cute? Bobby? You are qute? What
Speaker 1: are you doing? Are you trying to say something? So
Speaker 1: the truth? What? Thank you? The me? But no, so
Speaker 1: all jomps inside. Um no, No, That's the reason I'm
Speaker 1: being aware because I still have my hope. I know
Speaker 1: he ain't going nowhere. Oh yes, right, you know so crazy.
Speaker 1: You talk about manifestation. They do talk about that. How
Speaker 1: people do manifest they're you know, they're significant others, well,
Speaker 1: their close days in general. You heard it first right
Speaker 1: here and exactly about it, yo. But met that Bobby,
Speaker 1: and like I said, I'm very proud of you and
Speaker 1: your growth and everything that you've been able to accomplish.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. But if you could, if you
Speaker 1: could tell any words of encouragement, any advice, any anything
Speaker 1: to the younger Bobby, the Bobby that I originally met,
Speaker 1: you know, at like sixteen, grinding passing out his CDs,
Speaker 1: his demos. Like, if you could talk to that younger Bobby,
Speaker 1: what would you tell him? Oh my god, I would
Speaker 1: literally tell him this right here, don't take anything or
Speaker 1: life too serious literally, and I would like beat it
Speaker 1: in his head and like make him understand that don't
Speaker 1: take nothing too serious. Live your life, live your life,
Speaker 1: be yourself, love yourself, walk in love, walking life. You'll
Speaker 1: be fine because you could be yourself and you can
Speaker 1: be walking in your purpose. But then you have a
Speaker 1: nasty spirit and you have you treat everybody nasty around you,
Speaker 1: and then you're you're not getting nowhere, and your carment
Speaker 1: is bad. But if you walk in love, I've learned
Speaker 1: with a great heart, of pure heart, loving everyone around you,
Speaker 1: having no hate, being a light. The universe gives you
Speaker 1: what you want. But what what what about? What advice
Speaker 1: would you give him in his career? You know I
Speaker 1: would tell him literally, just keep on going, don't stop.
Speaker 1: And on the days when you want to stop, for
Speaker 1: the days you're giving up, the months you're not in
Speaker 1: the studio, don't get in the studio, staying the studio,
Speaker 1: saying because I would have made it way earlier, earlier,
