You 0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:48.760 know when when when we see a big truck on 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:52.040 the road, No, you gotta move to the pod. Everybody 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.639 trying to cut us off. Given them giving the floor 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:56.720 respect out there on the road. Man. Now, I'm gonna 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.520 be honest with you, man, Lately, I've been feeling like 0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.080 them truck's been driving like they cass. I feel like 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.880 it's been like that the last few years. They'd be 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.720 pulling up. They'd be cutting over on the side of 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.759 the road like they like they're driving regular vehicles. All right, look, 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.160 you gotta bluy your way in out there now, y'all 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.320 too big to be bullying in your way in. All right, 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.080 you got a mack truck, but you food run to 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:18.240 hit somebody. Look, I ain't even gonna mack truck. I 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.600 trust four cords and everything, So I got a three 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.800 cords face, you know what I mean. No, but trying 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:26.560 to get to the side, you know, like I don't 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.360 nobody want to get over. Yeah, I don't like people. 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.959 People do try to not let trucks over, and sometimes 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.279 Chuck's gotta take that because people will speed up driving 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:37.600 your blind side. So I know that's not an easy thing. 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.360 I've seen it happen. I've probably done it. Yeah, trucks 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.120 do the same thing, though. I don't like that. Y'all 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.399 got you because you already got commanded the road. You 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.399 know what I'm saying, y'all can really hurt somebody, Like 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.000 you can't just swerve over into another lane when you're 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.800 driving a pig. As cars gotta be careful too, because 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.880 cars be disrespectful to the trucks and just hop over 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.560 and then think the truck could just it goes both ways. 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.360 It definitely goes both ways. That's a lot to weight 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.800 on the road. Man. All I'm saying is like when 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.160 you see it truth respect, you know what I mean. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.520 Like we got here every day with a lot of weight. 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.280 It's a lot of responsibility. You know what I mean? 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.799 You and your brother, huh, you and your truck man. 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:20.040 Uh No, I'm actually hitting the work right.

February twenty second, I got divorced, and 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:06.880 I've been trying to get a touch with your guys 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.680 for a while. I came home February nineteen from work. 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.480 I caught my wife in the bed with a woman, 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:15.200 our best friend. Be okay if the woman ended up 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.880 just like me and as a man, ended up getting 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:24.479 divorced and my wife. We were married for seven years 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:29.200 and getting divorced. The judge gave me the house, the cars. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.120 It's going to give me the kids, but I work 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.359 a four time job. I got to get off my 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.719 chest because twenty years prior to this, I happened before 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:42.640 you know, and you can get divorced that fast. Look, 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.120 I didn't even know she filed for a divorce. I 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.560 didn't even know she filed for a divorce. What happened. 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:51.960 What was amazing is when I went to court, she 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.200 apparently last year filed for the divorce, but they never 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.080 served me. So when we went to court, the judge said, hey, 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.719 I can take Jursey Dicurtion up you right now for 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.520 two hundred dollars. It's like, I don't have no money. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:07.159 So she says, I do outside in the car. So 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.760 she went downstairs and the judge honored it, and he said, 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.400 if you go upstairs to the third floor, Flora will 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.160 accept it right now. And they divorced us on February 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:21.400 twenty seconds. I just want to thank you for two 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.960 hundred dollars.

My first daughter, she just 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.360 wants to hug the whole time, and my second daughter 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:10.880 is five months. So sometimes you're like, Okay, what's the 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:14.760 age difference for good? I think like eighteen, maybe twenty months, 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.720 maybe twenty one, that's good. My last three or all 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:20.760 like three years apart, so seven four in one with 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.440 the oldest is fourteens or the age gap is so far, 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.920 so she's more like a how's the one year old? 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.960 She's amazing? Oh yeah, yeah, I mean she's amaze. Yeah 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.520 yeah totally. But just I'm glad like being a close 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.400 in age, you'll see the bond totally. Yeah, more totally. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.760 And I really wanted to do that, Like me and 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.839 my brother were super close when we're growing up and 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:42.960 there was like exactly two years between us as well. 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:44.920 Now what about this new music side? I saw that 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.040 you did a little secret show. That's a really emotional 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.000 show man, Like, really, I've sort of made this album 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:52.920 I had I had like a bunch of stuff happening 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.280 at the beginning of the year, and I made an 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:57.360 album sort of in and around it, and I've never 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.480 hadn't played it to anyone, And then I put this 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.760 show on. It was for a mental health charity, and 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.600 I did, you know, like what Chappelle does, you take 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:06.480 all the phones and stuff like that, and I played 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.480 all the songs for the first time and just it 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.080 was really powerful. Well, let's talking about all the inspiration form. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:17.240 I had my best friend died in March, and it 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.720 was as well, actually February the twentieth, but as I 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.480 was heading into a big court case and I had 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:24.679 another mate died in mid court case, and I had 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.560 some other stuff in my family that was like health issues, 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.360 and it was one of those things. And you know, 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.760 I've become a problem solver in my friendship group. I'm 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.640 sure you both of you guys are problem solvers in 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.679 your friendship groups. And there's just certain things you can't 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.720 solve and death is one of them. Illness is one 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:42.880 of them, you know. And it was just I just 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.960 wrote a record around it, mostly being like cathartic and 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.840 it being therapeutic for me because I had no outlet 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:52.720 of because I was basically in a courtroom every single 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.160 day being told that I was like a thief and 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:59.000 a liar, and I had like no outlet of talking 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.200 to people because I could talk to anyone because I 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.080 was in this case. And so I just wrote a 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.480 load of songs that ended up being this album that 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.760 I think will come out next year. But it's it's 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.720 definitely it's the album I thought the least about. There 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.280 was an album full of grief basically totally yeah, well 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.080 grief and like processing and like, you know, because I 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:21.359 felt when my friend died, like the next day everyone's 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.480 life resumed as normal, and I was sort of looking 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:25.840 around being like no, no, no no, the world the world 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.240 has to stop for it. But you know, like when 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.120 the Queen died, the world stopped, Like I just felt 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.920 like the world had to stop and just take a moment. 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.760 So there's a song on there called like Life goes On, 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.280 and it's basically just lyrics are easy, come, hard, go, 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.199 but life life goes on because every like the worst 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:43.000 day of your life ends and the next day begins 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.280 and then it's a totally new day. And I just 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.240 it's a lot of processing, like I've never never been 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:51.000 to therapy before, and after all of this started sort 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.280 of speaking to someone and it's very just opens up 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.120 your I'm glad to hear that. I'm not even going 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:03.120 I started. I started pretty much straight afterwards. Um June wow, wow, Wow, 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.680 how was there for a session? Like horrible man? Because 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.959 he's talking to a stranger and you're like, you're saying 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:12.000 like the deepest darkest secrets of like childhood trauma or 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.920 like it's happened when I was a kid like this, 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.440 and I was singing, I haven't splaying to anyone about 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.320 and you're telling them to an absolute stranger. And then 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.240 you go and how are you? And they go they can't, 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:26.120 they can't let you into their private life. But but yeah, 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.560 it's been it's been very helpful. Sam Smith said therapy 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:33.200 is basically someone coming in and looking at your suitcase 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.680 and reorganizing it for you. I love it. I love there. 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.280 I'll go once a week totally. I mean it's something. 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.040 It's it's still quite a like taboo thing in the UK. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.280 Everyone I know in America, like I would say nine 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.240 out of ten people do it, but in like even 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.080 speaking to my friends about it back home. You know, 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.560 I still have mentioned it, and the reaction wasn't like 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.600 good for you. It was like, oh, you're right, you know, yeah, 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.760 whereas I think it is quite it should be normalized. 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.160 I think we go more with ed sharing when you 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:01.840 come back, don't more of it? Is the breakfast Club, 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:09.200 Good morning, the breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:12.400 Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are. The Breakfast Club 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.560 were still kicking it with ed sharing. I saw people 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.040 congratulate when I congratulating, but the bigging you up because 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.480 you kept the ticket prices reasonable? Yeah? Are you doing 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.640 it because you're aware of how the economy isn't it. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.120 I used to go to gigs as a kid, and 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.800 the tickets that I bought I could always afford, and 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.040 I could go with my friends. And I don't want to, 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:32.560 like without sounding crass, like what is the extra money 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.280 going to do for my life? Like I would rather 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.760 play sold out gigs everywhere in the world than have 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.920 an extra X amount of whatever, And like I know 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.240 how much my show costs, and I know how much 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.240 I kind of want to walk away with, and after that, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.760 I'm sort of fine with it. And merchant does amazing too, 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:53.200 totally yeah, And you know, and people coming to the 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.040 gigs like this isn't going to be the last time 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.000 at all. You want to repeat business. You want people 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:58.640 being like, do you know what? I went to that 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.000 show with all of my and we had a great time, 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.200 and we'll go next time. And this is what I've 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.520 done for my entire career is just like make tickets 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.920 reasonable and affordable and they will come. And my last 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:10.840 tour was the biggest selling tour in the world and 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.960 the highest grossing as well, so we still made good 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.280 money and everyone came to the gig. So I'm just 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.280 you know, I don't believe in the platinum seats in 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:22.040 the VIP areas and sold meeting greets like we do 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:26.200 partnerships with radio stations for meeting greets, and it's always free, 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.800 and it's always competitions, so fans actually enter the competitions, 0:16:28.840 --> 0:16:30.920 they excited to go. They don't feel like they're parting 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.360 with money to meet you and feel cheated out of it. 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.480 And there's just ways that I like to do it 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.880 and it's always worked, so I'm not going to change it, 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:39.640 he says, I'm just now about doing that wanted to 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:41.480 do things that you don't believe in. How hard is 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.680 it not to be a cloud chaser in twenty twenty two, 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:45.720 because I know people probably come to you and be like, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.280 you know, well, this person's doing this, and this person's 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.120 doing that, maybe you should try to do this type 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.640 of record, or maybe you should take a picture doing 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.720 this totally. Well, I mean, TikTok is that I never 0:16:56.760 --> 0:17:01.480 really understood TikTok, but TikTok controls now. Really There's a 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.160 team in the UK that come to me and they go, well, 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:06.800 these are the trends, and I'll go, well, this is 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:08.479 quite funny, and this is quite funny, and I'll just 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.720 choose the things that I want to do. So I 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.280 guess that is kind of chasing clout, but it's essentially 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.959 that's how you advertise your music now in terms of 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.639 like genres, like I'm I love spanning all genres. I 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.600 like trying different things. I like making like anything. I've 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.320 sung in Italian, I've sung in French, I've sung in Japanese. 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:29.240 I'm up for trying anything. But I think you have 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:33.880 to walk into something with a somewhat knowledge of it 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.960 and respect of it, rather than just being like, oh 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.159 that's the hot thing I'm I'm I'm going to do that. 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.960 So when I first made AfroB, I moved to Ghana 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.600 and lived there for a month and music that wasn't 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.320 just my music. I made music that went on other 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.840 people's projects and stuff. How will that experience living in 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:52.639 so good? Did you go to like the door and 0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.679 not return and all of that stuff? We saw castles? No, 0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:59.000 we went to the guy that I went with, fuse Odg. 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.080 He had a house there and he had a studio 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:03.000 in his house, and I mean we went out and about, 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.280 but like not like huge. We would like go for 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.720 runs and stuff like that. But what the thing I 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.399 loved about it is you'd be in the studio all 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.120 day making these songs and then a phone call be made, 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.199 two hundred people turn up to the house, and then 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.840 you'd have a party to the songs. Well, dad, say, 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.480 do you have a hard time just selling music nowadays? 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:22.520 And what I mean by that is people want your 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.040 life totally, don't want to know about the wife and 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:26.840 the kids, like, well no, I don' want to give 0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:28.920 them the music. It's an odd line, isn't it, Because 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:30.920 I think, well, I think kids are always off off 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.720 the table, like there's no, there's no point with that. 0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.879 But it's it's interesting with my life with Cherry because 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:42.240 the songs are about it, so there's obviously interest in it. 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.720 And you know, we're shooting a documentary at the moment 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.560 around my life, and there was a big conversation about 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:52.520 what do we include, And I think that as long 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:56.200 as it's honest and it links in with a theme 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.080 of something that's in a song, like, there's no point 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:00.600 putting something in if it is just Dutch mental to 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:03.159 your life, I think. But yeah, it's definitely there's a 0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.280 fine line, isn't it, Because we're all public figures. Everyone's 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.600 interested in what you talk about your personal life on 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.280 the radio. You talk about your personal life on the radio, 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.240 therefore you've somewhat opened the door. But then there's also 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.320 this boundary preaching privacy of being like, oh, actually i'm 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.919 a I'm a I'm a human being that sometimes people forget. 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.000 So yeah, it's a very fine line. But that's why 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:24.960 I like, you've been to my house in Suffolk, Like, 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.400 that's why I live where I live, and I don't 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.680 live in Los Angeles and I don't my life as 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.720 a celebrity is switched on when it needs to be 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.640 switched on. So I come to New York and I'm 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.000 working this week, so I'm doing the TVs and I'm 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.760 doing the radios, and I'm a celebrity for the week. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.520 But when I go home, I'm a friend, I'm a dad, 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:44.760 I'm a husband, I'm a son, and that's my Like, 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.040 you can't bring celebrity baggage into a pub in the Suffolk, 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.359 you just have to be yourself. Well, have pubs in 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:55.520 your yard? Well, yeah, I mean that is you know. Actually, 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.800 since you came and then basically the pandemic happened, that 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.720
