26
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: just like, yo, I can't like, I'm so humbled, I'm

27
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: so grateful, you know. So it's an amazing, amazing feeling.

28
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: The twentieth anniversary of the album. Yeah, Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yeah,

29
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: and I got my ring. I got my little Hollywood

30
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: ring ring ring. Well actually my mom had it made

31
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: for me a custom Can we see it? Oh yeah,

32
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: let me see. It has the day night, you right,

33
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: it has the day to got the music like championship,

34
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: yeah day Okay, So I rerecorded. I want to say

35
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: we are four records in um but obviously with everything happening,

36
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: I kind of had to stop, you know, so I

37
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: have to find another like slot of time where I

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: could just sit down and just complete it. How difficult

39
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: is you ain't got to remember anything exactly. You don't

40
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: have to remember, but we are replaying everything to a

41
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: t you know what I mean, So we don't want

42
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: it to sound different. I'm not trying to, you know,

43
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: go and then shuff up anything new. But I wanted

44
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: to sound as authentic as possible, but just bigger sonically,

45
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Because when we were recording

46
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, so obviously sonically it was different sounds.

47
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: So I want to rerecord and do the music and

48
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: just make it sound as similar to the original as

49
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: humanly possible. You could do it in texts and Kike

50
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: because they have an amazing student. Yes, I know about

51
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: it exactly. Worcas, thank you. And are you been celebrating

52
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: the twenty anniversary? You know that makes sense? Oh my gosh,

53
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's again. We have been on a worcastion,

54
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: but we've been just you know, with the Hollywood Walk

55
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: of Fame, with doing several you know, television shows, just

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: talking about it, celebrating on stage. I think when I did,

57
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: we had two shows the day that um the album

58
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: dropped April second, so we had two shows the same day,

59
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: and it was like, Yo, reflecting on this our drama

60
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: album twenty years ago, I got two back to back shows,

61
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: so they celebrating twenty like it's just been a whirlwind,

62
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, So we just we've been celebrating. My Name

63
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: is a Story. Yeah, she talked about it. Then you

64
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: talk about it when you were here before. Yes, yes,

65
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: So finally it's out. The children's book is called My

66
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Name is a Story, and it's basically just about celebrating

67
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: having a unique name. You know, when I was coming up,

68
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: obviously a shanty was not your everyday name, and sometimes

69
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: I used to feel like, you know, the teacher would

70
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: be hesitant to pronounce it, or wouldn't correct herself pronouncing

71
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: my name wrong. So I just felt like, now I

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: think we need to celebrate being unique, and I think

73
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: kids that have unique names don't need to feel ashamed

74
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: of having a Leonard. I'm gonna get you a book

75
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: My name is knie Une because it's not Leonard, and

76
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: my mom had got me this thing that tells me

77
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: exactly what my name is exactly. But look, when you

78
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: were small, you couldn't find a key chains with your

79
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: name is. See what I'm saying, Sean are double a

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: capital s? Exactly and my name couldn't even fit on

81
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: the scan tron. Wow for a shoe on the shoe

82
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: you see see what I'm saying. I like that for

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: your shoe. I like that. What what story did your

84
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: name tell? Um? My name originates from Ghana and it

85
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: means women of strength, so basically, you know, like in

86
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: foreign countries the women a considered loan a totem pole.

87
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: But in this particular tribe, the Ashanti tribe that originates

88
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: from Ghana, women run things. The woman king. Yes, exactly, exactly.

89
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: You know, Hey, mama just got books and aren't you

90
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: I thought doing a documentary. Yes, they could sign it

91
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: for us. Yes, talk about the documentary. How far along

92
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: are you with that? Um? Super early in stages. I

93
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: have so much content and so much footage of everything

94
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: that we've been doing behind the scenes. It's gonna be

95
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: really hard to like decipher through everything. And like my

96
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: mom has everything like from the beginning, from the first

97
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: time I went to the studio, the first time I

98
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: went to the offices, you know, over a murder ink

99
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: and behind the scenes, behind foolish and like it's ridiculous,

100
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be a lot um. I want to

101
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: tell everything. I want to tell how it was my third,

102
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: my fourth, my third record deal. I was signed to

103
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Noontime Epic Records. I was signed to Yes, Jazzy Fade,

104
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: Chris Nooney, all of them. I had lived in Atlanta

105
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: when I was like seventeen um, and then before that,

106
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: I was signed to Jive Records when I was fourteen,

107
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: right after Aliyah had moved from Jive, and I was

108
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: my first story was supposed to be with in Sync

109
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: and Backstreet Boys. Before you tell the story of the documentary,

110
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: did you ever say, you know what, maybe music isn't

111
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: for me. First deal, second deal, They like, you know what,

112
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: maybe it's something I shouldn't be doing. By the time

113
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: I came back home after my second record deal, I

114
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: went back to college and I was like, mmm, I

115
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: wasn't passionate about it, you know what I mean. I

116
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: was like, I got into a car accident. Let me

117
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: focus and have a backup plan and we'll see what happens.

118
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: It was kind of that vibe. It wasn't like, oh

119
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: my god, I have to do this, and it wasn't like,

120
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: you know, fuck it, But it was if it happens,

121
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. What was the turning point from there? I

122
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: mean at that at that time, I was just doing

123
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: local talent shows, showcases. Y'all remember Bernard Brown, Bernard Brown showcase.

124
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it was used to be at what's

125
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: the name of that? Um? Oh my god, what is

126
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: the name of that place in the city. Y'all do

127
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: stuff there all the time. No, oh my god. I'm

128
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: gonna think of it at the end of the interview.

129
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: But it's something that everybody is so disrespectful. My phone

130
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: is gonna vibrate for one person, my daughter and my wife.

131
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: There's only two rings and that see my wife and

132
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: mine too right now, like like literally mine at the

133
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: same time. And now you said being at work. He's

134
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: always on vacation. You see what I'm saying. We still

135
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: ain't find the name of the building, wasn't I can't

136
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: remember the name of it. No, it was from back

137
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: and I know all y'all been there and y'all have

138
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: done parties there. I'm gonna think of it at the

139
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: end of the interviews. Yeah, yes, sobs, Okay, that's what

140
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: you started. I started doing like talent shows and stuff

141
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: there and singing in front of people and what was it? Oh,

142
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: that's when I met up with old Boy and we sang.

143
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: I sang in the studio. He gave me the production

144
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: deal and I took it. You know what I'm talking about?

145
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: No after him? Oh boy, yeah boy, he know a

146
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: mutual person and he set up to me in way, way, way,

147
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: way way back then. So that's kind of like how

148
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: everything just it was like a mutual thing. I hope

149
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: that you explored the dynamic between you and your mom

150
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: because I've always found that very interesting, you know, throughout

151
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: throughout the years. Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely, it's gonna tell a lot.

152
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't understand what goes in to

153
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: it and what happens with your family, you know, with

154
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: my sister kind of being in my shadow, and my

155
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: dad playing it back and me and my mom. You know,

156
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: it's a lot with your mom a singer. No, yes,

157
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: my mom could put so hard. It was almost like

158
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: you know when when a parent is a player, you

159
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: want your son to be a player, right right. She

160
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: really rolled out like she knew, Yes, she knew on

161
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: the birth announcement, My mom's birth announcement. It's crazy, that's

162
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: gonna be in the dock to my dad actually sings though.

163
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: I had on my dad's side is eight eight of them,

164
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: eight brothers and sisters, and they had like the family band.

165
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: So my dad he could really really sing. He's like blue,

166
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: Magic Vibe, heat Wave Vibe. He did all of those. Definitely,

167
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have like, oh, are we're gonna have

168
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: footage of your dad singing in the dock? I think

169
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: that'd be kind of yeah. Yeah, it means you see

170
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: that and in the dance studio. I know you got

171
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: some good footage. Oh my gosh. Yeah we did everything tap, jazz, ballet,

172
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: African hip hop, point, all of that. But how was

173
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: that for your dad? Because your dad, you know, lost

174
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: his two ladies. He lost his wife on the road

175
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: and then he lost his daughter in the road. So

176
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 1: how was dad during this time? You say lost? Like,

177
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: but you know, Dad been a part of it. Dad

178
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: be on the road sometimes, you know what I'm saying, Um,

179
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: But it was definitely a different dynamic because he had

180
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: my sister. You know, So my sister's like in junior

181
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: high and my dad is like, all right, she got

182
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: a boyfriend. What is this about? You know what I'm

183
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: saying he called, like, what we're doing with this dude?

184
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 1: You know? So it was it was everyone sacrifice. I

185
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: would say that, you know what I'm saying, for the

186
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: benefit of me and for me to be able to

187
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: take care of everyone. Do you feel like somehow your

188
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: personal life always seems to overshadow everything else, like the music.

189
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes not really because I'm low, you know what I'm saying,

190
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: I'm super low. I mean, obviously people didn't know me,

191
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: and you know, my ex were together for like three

192
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: to four years before it ever hits. I keep it low.

193
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: How do you How are you feeling right now? Because

194
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: I know you've been going through a lot. I'm sure,

195
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: so are you good? Like how I am amazing? Because

196
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: I could be a little stressful, like sometimes to look

197
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: on social media everybody's talking about business and that. But

198
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad that you had an opportunity to sit with

199
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: somebody like Angie and be able to talk about your

200
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: side of things, because that's not something normally. You're like, yeah,

201
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to address that, right, But it

202
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: got to a point where it was just too much.

203
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: You know, when you just when someone is just lying

204
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: that to that extent on that big of a platform

205
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: about things that are just non existent. It's just like,

206
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: come on, especially, No, you're not going to say anything, right,

207
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: That's that's the problems. Like you got used to me

208
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: not saying anything, and you took advantage of my kindness,

209
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying and me being professional. But

210
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: at some point you have to just speak up. And

211
00:11:52,400 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: that's what I did to get this potty mouth always. Yeah,

212
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: I heard a lot of people feel that came from

213
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: the mom. I feel like that's what I feel like. No,

214
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: but you know what's crazy. If you would have heard

215
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: the verse that I did before that, it was way

216
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: more savage. So I just mom wrote that verse a

217
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: little you know, a little tea maybe I play for

218
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: you have them, okay, we're here. It was more because

219
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, guys get really offended by that. Every guy,

220
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: like when you start talking about little penises, they get

221
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: defensive than they But I mean, if God can't help it,

222
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: it's not like and then you can do any surgery.

223
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: We can't get No, but I heard you can't. I

224
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: heard you can do a little enhancement. Yeah you can.

225
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how it's gonna work in

226
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: function you know what I'm saying. But I heard you

227
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: at least I heard it. It's just for girl. It's

228
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: not for so. I heard girl. Not so you do

229
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: like a little pringle snack size cane. Oh you don't

230
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: want that? He did. Look, I want to see and

231
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: you're right because guys will do things like they tie

232
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: a weight to the end of it and they think

233
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: they could like hang the way. No, that sounds painful though,

234
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: that sounds painful. Yeah, sometimes people feel like, what did

235
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: you Charlottagne had the pills that he was taking. I

236
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: wanted magnax out the back of the double la Oh

237
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: no nah. But when you give off that energy sometimes

238
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: you got to be addressed. Correct little dick you can't shake.

239
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: How can you say, I'm just saying about it because

240
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: he didnt right there? Why did he feel a way

241
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: about because I don't know, but like right when you

242
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: said it, he was like take that or whatever. That's

243
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: that's a wild time to say take that. Look at it.

244
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: But you know what the interest in I say, before

245
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: you walked in, I said, I do not want to

246
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: ask her any questions about that, because I feel like

247
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: that's what you get asked about a lot, and I

248
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: don't think that's fair to you, you know what I mean. No,

249
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I appreciate it. I mean, I'm cool

250
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: either way. You know, y'all know I've been through a

251
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: lot of interviews. You know what I'm saying, and sometimes

252
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: I speak, but most of the time I don't. And

253
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: I feel like at this point, at twenty years being

254
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: in and where we are just in social media and

255
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: what we're doing to just progressively grow in this industry,

256
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, just for a woman, I have to.

257
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: I had to come out and just say my piece,

258
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: you know. And it's crazy. So many people would text

259
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: to me, like all my exes hit me like yo,

260
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: you gotta say something, you know what I'm saying. And

261
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: it was it was a good feeling because I'm not

262
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: the one to ship on people. You know what I'm saying.

263
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: I defend myself, so I'm not gonna say nothing until

264
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: you start throwing these daggers at me, you know. So

265
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: and everyone respected that. I feel like people were like,

266
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: we're glad because you don't bother nobody, you don't tell

267
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: crazy about nobody, you don't be beefing with nobody, nobody.

268
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: I have no, you're gonna address things in your documentary.

269
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: I am. I am, because there's there are a lot

270
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: of things that have been misled. There are a lot

271
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: of things that are missing, you know what I'm saying, Like,

272
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot, it's a lot. So yeah, I heard

273
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: other women say that they appreciated you telling that story

274
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: because a lot of them go through those type of

275
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: things in their their work environment. Absolutely. Absolutely, I've been

276
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: in a crazy situation with one producer. Um, I don't

277
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: even I think I might have talked about this once.

278
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: One producer, like we did two records together. He was like, Okay,

279
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: you know I'm not gonna charge you. You know, you're

280
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: my homie, whatever, whatever, And then when it came trying

281
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: to put on the album, he was like, well, let's

282
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: take a shower together. And I thought he was joking,

283
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: Like I thought it was joking. And then he's like, no,

284
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm dead serious, Like, you know, let's go out and

285
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: let's take a shower together, and I give you the

286
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: records if not, I need forty. And I was like, again,

287
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: I thought he was joking, you know, because we have

288
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: been working with each other for like I don't know,

289
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: the weeks he was like, you're so crazy, right exactly,

290
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, you do one of those and then um,

291
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: it turned out that he was serious and I hadn't

292
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: make some phone calls and you know, stuff was handled. Um,

293
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: but it's wild, yeah, mama, Mama, Yeah it was. I'd

294
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: be wondering, Mama. How do you feel when when you

295
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: hear these stories though, Like, do you ever feel like

296
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: you want to get on social media and defend your daughter?

297
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, please do not let me saying please, no,

298
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: please don't show I'm telling my own story. No, please

299
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: don't want that. It'll be the doctor. Sit down, please down,

300
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: talk for the doctor. Yeah, I'm gonna let her talk

301
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: exactly because you guys editing room right then, so for sure,

302
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,800

00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: did also, and so you know, I just think even now,

304
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: all the things that you've been addressing are so important

305
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: for women other women to also here, but and for

306
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: men too. Yeah. I'm able to understand that just because

307
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: I know that your sister she or she's gone through

308
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 1: a lot so much, and I feel like she's been

309
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: trying to like make sure that people can hear her

310
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: because it's hard to even get to that point where

311
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: you feel like you can talk about it absolutely in

312
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: front of so many people, having so many of the

313
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: same mutual I don't even want to say friends, but

314
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: mutual people that you're around, and it's like, Okay, he's

315
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: cool with him. Should I still be cool with him?

316
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. But he did this, damn Should I bet?

317
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: But he can't do it to me? But you know

318
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: what I mean, it's like a lot. It's a lot,

319
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: you know, especially when you have a person that is

320
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: so kind of infiltrated in the industry. So I commend

321
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: her so much. You know, it was doing She's doing good.

322
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: She's in a really good space. You know. She has

323
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: her line Wife of Creation, she has her like candles

324
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: and sustainable clothing and stuff that that she's doing. M

325
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do some yoga where she does. Yes, you

326
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: gotta do the yoga second in that morning, very early.

327
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: But once I get off this show, I have a

328
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: little time. So I totally absolutely it's healing, you know

329
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And she's gotten so many dms from

330
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: people that are saying, oh my gosh, you helped me,

331
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I went through something just so brave.

332
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: I could never do that. I commend you, you know.

333
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: So even if it's two three people that are able

334
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: to come out of that and learn from it and

335
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 1: kind of get strength, I'm I'm grateful for that. Is

336
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: it easier to convey those those those stories through music

337
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: or interviews nowadays? Um? As an artist, see, I've never

338
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: gone through that. You know I've gone through obviously watching

339
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: my sister. So as an artist, I don't want to

340
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: say it's easy to write, but it comes, you know

341
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I could write about that whole situation

342
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: and it'll be a heartfelt record talking about it. It

343
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: is a little challenging, you know, because it's like you

344
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: don't want to say too much. You know what I say?

345
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: You know not enough? You know what I mean? And again,

346
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: it's not my story, right, So it's it's her story,

347
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: and she has to talk about what she's comfortable talking

348
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: about and putting out there. Do you feel like you're

349
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: write a song about it? So here's the thing. When

350
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: I wrote Rain on Me, I did not go through that,

351
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: But I've seen and witnessed domestic violence. It hit way

352
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: different now, you know, seeing my sister goes So when

353
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: I see me and Lorenz acting, you know, when he's

354
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: hitting me and I'm hitting him, and it's like, oh

355
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: my god, it almost gets a little like damn, I

356
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: kind I don't want to watch that in front of her,

357
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And but now you can

358
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: see how that has helped other people because it exposed

359
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: it where it's uncomfortable to talk about. You expose it

360
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: and you allow someone to try and maneuver out of

361
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: that situation. You know. So as far as writing again

362
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: about it, I don't know. If a record speaks to me,

363
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: that track made me want to write that record, you

364
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So if I get another beat

365
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: that makes me feel like that, I know that I

366
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: will attack it. What about for your own stuff? Because

367
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you had some lines and got to move on,

368
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: But like for your own personal stuff, is it easy

369
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: for you to convey? Absolutely, that came out almost like

370
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: a freestyle. I'm not gonna yeah. It definitely was very different,

371
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: and you know what's crazy, I liked it. I felt okay.

372
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: So when I sent Puff the voice note, it was

373
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: so easy for me to send it to him. When

374
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: I got in the studio, I was like fuck, am

375
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: I gonna say this? You know what I And I'm

376
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: telling you there's another version that's super way more savage.

377
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: And he was like, no, just say it, just say it,

378
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, I can't say it. He's like,

379
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: you really don't want to say that? No, I can't.

380
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: Why But um, I ended up we compromised. I want

381
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: to know how that came about the Puff reach out

382
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: to you or did you run into him like because

383
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: you you were perfect for that record at the time. Yeah,

384
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: the timing was crazy, like Puff reached out and again,

385
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: we talk all the time, so it wasn't like over

386
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: the top surprising, you know what I'm saying. He reached out,

387
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: and um, he told me how he felt about how

388
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Earth handled the situation, and we just started talking and

389
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: he's like, yo, you want to get on you know,

390
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: you want to get on the record. And I'm like, yeah,

391
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: you know. And I heard it and I heard what

392
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: Bryson was saying, and I said, okay, yeah, I know

393
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: how to attack it, you know what I mean. And

394
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: because I hadn't addressed it, this was a chance for

395
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: me to address it in a certain way, you know

396
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yes, through music. So I can be

397
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: creative and it can be the artistic side of me,

398
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: and I don't have to be up on here cursing,

399
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: and you know how, I really can. But um, I

400
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: feel like that was a catalyst and it allowed people

401
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: to see what I felt, you know, And then I

402
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: did the same thing. I still um did the interviews

403
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: and I still spoke about it. You know, it's crazy.

404
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: I was on a plane literally last night back from Jamaica.

405
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: This lady was sitting next to me. She's like, oh

406
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: my god, your birth don't got to move on. Shut

407
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: up his part. I was on the plane back from

408
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: Jamaica and this lady was like, Yo, your verse don't

409
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: gotta move on. Was crazy. I'm so glad you. I'm

410
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: so happy about the way that you handled it. I've

411
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: been watching you for years, so to me, that kind

412
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: of tells me that I feel like I did something right,

413
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, the way that I've handled

414
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: it for the past twenty years and the ship that

415
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: fell in my lap in the past couple of months,

416
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: that's what I did. How did did Hea and R

417
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: that situation? Like you said, he told you how he

418
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: felt about whatever saying. What did he say He just

419
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: felt like it wasn't respectful, you know what I'm saying,

420
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: And it wasn't I think the whole world could see

421
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: that it wasn't respectful. You could address something, you could

422
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: not like me, you could whatever, But the amount of disrespect,

423
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: I just feel like it was too much, you know

424
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: what I mean? And I was actually feeling a movie

425
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: in Canada. So we were going back and forth. I

426
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: was sending the verse and changing things here and ad

427
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: libs and Puff changed the beat forty two times. Yea.

428
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: He It's so funny because we're very similar, like being

429
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: a perfectionist and trying ten times before you come to

430
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: that one that you love. So we went back and

431
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: forth so many. I had literally had a studio in

432
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: my trailer recording in between scenes of the movie. So

433
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: we just wanted it to be perfect, and we wanted

434
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: to be right and to feel good and feel natural.

435
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: How did it feel when you have like so many

436
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: big brothers in the industry? Right? Like did he or

437
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: fact that Joe? These people standing up for the job job,

438
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, So how did it feel I have those

439
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: big brothers in the industry? Um, it's a blessing, you know,

440
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: you had to be a little surprising because everybody is

441
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: like co mingled, you know, right right? Um it, It

442
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: feels good to know that I have people that hold

443
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: me down and everyone ain't for the platform, and everyone

444
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: is not going to say everything on the mic. Sometimes

445
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: people are genuinely calling me and texting me and it's

446
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: not for the public, you know. So I feel secure

447
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: in that, you know, because I'm private too. I'm you know,

448
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't do a whole lot um, but I know

449
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 1: if anything goes down, I'm good. This is way more

450
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: savage remix is that could be an intro to something?

451
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, maybe maybe we I was gonna say,

452
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: maybe we can talk about intro to the show or

453
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: something like. You know, I like that with the visuals

454
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: and that could be a good idea. I think. So

455
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: I gotta do something with it because if it's more

456
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: savage than that, I feel like it is. What's more

457
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: savage and telling somebody got a little dick know that

458
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: they broke. I'm a play for you and you feel

459
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: like you've gotten it all out of not yet, um,

460
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: I do feel like, um again, I don't poke, I

461
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: don't bother people. I feel like at this point it

462
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: was important for me to make a stance, and I'm good,

463
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm still like, I want

464
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: to have peace with whoever. You know. I don't want

465
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: no ill will. I don't want your negative energy. I

466
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: don't want you at home wishing death on me, you

467
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, I want to be peaceful,

468
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: and I think I'm at a place where I could

469
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: be peaceful and cordial and move on. It's too much

470
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: history together and too many amazing things that we've done

471
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: to be in this space. It's childish, you know what

472
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Likes it don't make any sense. So I'm

473
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm at a place where I'm just you know, so

474
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: that would be peace between y'all. You think, Um, I

475
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 1: don't let me ask Mama. I mean right now, if

476
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: he does the right thing and has an apology that's genuine,

477
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: there's a possibility because she's a good person, right, you

478
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean, and she's very forgiving. But when

479
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: you do things and keep hammering at it, then that's

480
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: cause for I'm never going to do this. I'm never

481
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: going to do that, and that's who she is. Yeah,

482
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not things will never be the same ever. Right, Um,

483
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: but as far as just being at peace and being cordial,

484
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: is it a possibility. I've tried, you know, for years consecutively.

485
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: An hour I was told, Okay, I'm not gonna do this,

486
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. And a year goes by

487
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: and you do it, say sorry again, year goes by

488
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: to do it again. All right, you know what I'm saying, Like,

489
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: you got to accept what it is. You got the

490
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: text all stop? Oh, he texts you. No, Mama got everything.

491
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: Not in the I'm like, not in the past few years.

492
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: But I think it's your Instagram father shanthing. It's hard people,

493
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm serious. It's hard for people to move on when

494
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: you see you looking fly living a great life on Instagram.

495
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: What I'm serious, It's hard for people to get over. Listen,

496
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: he probably driving crazy. I finished with it. She got

500
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: super super super cute movie. Um, it's like The Grin

501
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: Show stole Christmas kind of vibe. I'm the main one.

502
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: I have three spirits that are trying to show me

503
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: the ropes, Eva, Vivica Fox, and Robin Gibbons. Um. It's

504
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: super super cute, super cool, UM, very family oriented and

505
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: I think it's it's a nice twist to it to see,

506
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: you know, black women doing their thing. Did you enjoy

507
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: being evil? I ain't gonna lie. Listen a lot of

508
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: evil things happening. And I wrote the verse I was

509
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: being a grin Sum it was a good It was

510
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: a good month or a few months of expression and

511
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: being artistic different from who I am. You know. Um,

512
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: it's come in December fourteenth on VH one. Yeah, I

513
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: see this year, right. We never seen black women in

514
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: that type of role. Yeah, you know. And I got

515
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: to see myself as a young child, as a college

516
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: and then I see myself in the future like a

517
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: super old lady. And the path that I go down

518
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: determines what's gonna happen. You know, if I'm gonna end

519
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: up singing, being obese and smoking cigarettes and you know,

520
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: laying on the floor in the club, or if I'm

521
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna have a family. So those decisions make, you know,

522
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: make sense to what your future is gonna Be and

523
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: you also have this single with Blue. Yeah. Yeah, I

524
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: guess he's still Young Blue. No, don't call him Young Blue.

525
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: I just call him. I feel like you told me

526
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: he had to change it back or something for legal reasons.

527
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, all right, So how

528
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: was it working with him? Yo? I was so impressed

529
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: the first time. I was like, Noah, he's really talented,

530
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: Like he's talented. Um. We had so much fun. We

531
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: were in and this this is how you know, I

532
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: got comfortable. We were a little bit after COVID and

533
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: he came in the booth with me, like like by

534
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: the mic, and I was like, hold on, yeah. But

535
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: he's like super passionate and charismatic and he writes off

536
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: the top and it was just really dope being in

537
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: the studio with him, you know, just young energy, new energy,

538
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: new vibe. The first time we recorded was here in

539
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: New York, and then we recorded the single Falling for You.

540
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: We were in Vegas, so were both in Vegas for

541
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: like a week and we were in the studio every

542
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: day and it just came effortlessly, you know. I think

543
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: just being two writers and having producers right at your hands,

544
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: with the you know, the tools making everything. It was

545
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: just a really dope vibe. What inspired those lyrics, I

546
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: mean just life really going through it, you know, just

547
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: feeling like, you know, sometimes at a certain point you

548
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 1: got to stop falling for the same patterns of of

549
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: bus you know what I'm saying. So and it's crazy.

550
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: It kind of came at a time that was like

551
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: really just going through it. So that's that's a that's

552
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: a hard thing to realize because your therapist will tell

553
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: you that, you know, you got to look inside of

554
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: you because if you keep falling for those same patterns, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

555
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: that's that's deep as deep and it's it's meaningful. And

556
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: I think that I have done that because at some

557
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: point you got to look at yourself like, Okay, do

558
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: I keep picking the same you know what I'm saying?

559
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: Or why am I attracting this certain How come these

560
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: things unfold like this? You know? Because let me say

561
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 1: you were here, you had a boyfriend and we had

562
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: the wrong person, remember asking a bunch of questions, Yeah

563
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: you have somebody a little situation. Yes, you're still in

564
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: a situation. No, not where it was Okay, nah, they

565
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: just let me stop right now. I'm gonna stop myself. Yeah,

566
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: I had to stop myself. Um. I think sometimes people

567
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: make mistakes, you know, it's just about how you go

568
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: about that mistake after you make that mistake. You got

569
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: to watch the video. I ain't seen the video. I

570
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: think we gotta thought publicly shaming God when it's not

571
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: the guy in the video. He's an actor, right, well,

572
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: God make those kind of mistakes, you know. You know

573
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: certain people. You can't make that kind of mistake, right right,

574
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: And that's anybody. If you're you shouldn't win anybody. Yes,

575
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: you definitely shouldn't win any people. We got to hold

576
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not, but you know, depending on how

577
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: older brother is. And but that's the thing. It's weird

578
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: because sometimes situations that come about is not it's not

579
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: really a cheat. It's I don't know how to explain.

580
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: It's like what Va Charlotte may do with each other

581
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: every morning. They're not necessarily physical with each other. Oh okay, yeah,

582
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: but I don't know if anything like has gone beyond that.

583
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,479
Speaker 1: I'm sure, right, but I can see white people don't

584
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: listen to me. How did you catch up? I'm just curious, Um, Mama,

585
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: did no see. That's the thing. It's hard because it's

586
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: not it's not an efficient, it's not a real cheat.

587
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: So it's hard to say. But what I will say

588
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: is I got a lot of good fans and they

589
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: say no because not even it wasn't even that surface.

590
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: It really wasn't. Um, I don't know. It's just I

591
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: knew I found out, but it wasn't. Again, let me

592
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: address it. It's not it wasn't like a cheat sheet.

593
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: Because sometimes you know, when you get to a point

594
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: where you're in different spaces, right, so you over here,

595
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm over here. You know what I'm saying. So it's

596
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: like it was a break, y'all going a little break

597
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: kinda you know, I gotta ask you this. It's a

598
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: little penis a deal breaker. Okay. So here's here's the thing.

599
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: If you know what to do with it, then it's

600
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: not a deal breaker. Okay, you know what I'm saying.

601
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: If you know how to make it, that's what women

602
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: say to make guys feel I'm that serious. How you

603
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,520
