He did 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:25.399 what he had to do consistently. And one thing that 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.480 I love about him he still keeps cruel with him. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.679 He still got Black Warrior with him.

They got houses, houses, 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.880 and seven continentses. He's wearing a pink shirt tonight, just 0:01:52.000 --> 0:02:08.760 mixed noise. Ain't ain't I gotta correct the salmon difference. Listen, 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:14.480 I'm gonna be honest. You have such a like a 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.639 van glorious career, right, but a lot of people don't 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:22.560 know that you actually started from the bottom, like because um, 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.079 because because because once you had your one like single 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.920 locked up, like, your career just kept going, kept going, 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.200 kept going, So no one actually pays attention to the 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.200 struggle prior to that. So that's what I want to 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.440 get into right now. So how how how do you so? 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.480 You was born in Senegore? No, actually I was born 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.760 in St. Louis, Taylor, Missouri. I googled that. I thought 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.520 they were wrong. It was in Wikipedia. I thought Makipedia 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:49.079 sucking up. Okay, it's sucking up on everything else. But you, 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.560 my pops was he was always a forward thinker, like 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.120 he made sure that we was all born in the 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.640 States so we wouldn't have no immigration problems in there. Wow, 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.720 that's what I's gonna go to now. That makes the 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:05.320 most sense ever, telling you everything so shortly after birth. 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.080 He just shipped us all back. We didn't even spend 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.639 thirty days in the States after birth, best born and 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.240 sent right back. Your passport is blue. You got dual passport. 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.079 I gott dual pass Okay, but it's still because you 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.680 citizen when you're born here, yea, as of right now. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.440 At that time, were not even right now right now. 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.400 So St. Louis right now, I don't know what's going on. 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.600 You and Nellie was going to school, yeah, man, and 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:40.640 Nellie was actually racist the same we all went. We 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:42.240 all went to U City High like, we all went 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.360 to the same Now. Now, now I didn't hear this 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.680 from you, but I heard this from Nellie. That was 0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:52.640 like a big gang banging. Wow, and you went to 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.880 that high school? Yeah, that was That was one of 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.880 the reasons why I moved to Jersey because I was 0:03:56.920 --> 0:03:59.920 getting too much trouble in St. Louis. But you can't 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:04.040 moved from St. Louis to Jersey there. Yeah, but my 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:10.080 parents didn't know that. They put me from one and 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:16.240 that's that's that's something that's is very like a key 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:20.479 to you. I could see because you know, all the goals, 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:24.280 all accomplishments you have done, you still keep your Jersey 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.280 ties like always. Man, that impresses me. By the way, 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.000 Jersey was a special turning point in my life for sure, 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.800 like that's where a boy became a man. Really, you 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.120 know what I'm saying. And around that time it was 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.039 a lot of segregation and racist and me being an 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.000 African in Jersey City, the Puerto Ricans embraced me. And 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.280 we say segregation, you're saying between blacks and white, so 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.400 you're saying between blacks and Puerto Ricans general. But to 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.400 see the difference what I learned because where I was 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.480 coming from it was just different, like in Missouri's it 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:55.800 like it's a different kind of racial you find what 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.560 I'm saying, like, it's different, so different. I didn't see 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:05.120 difference between that much diversity. Yeah, it was either in 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:14.080 Missouri Naka may see. So me it was either black 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.440 or white. So if you was a fair color, it 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.800 didn't matter what nationality was to me, he was white, 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.120 like you would have been considered white to you would 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:24.960 have black. Tell what I'm saying. So when I got 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:30.120 New Jersey, it was try to you know. So it 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.080 was just it was just different. So when I went 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.320 to Jersey and and I heard Puerto Ricans called the 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.520 niggas niggas, and I was like, yeah, let this nigga 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:40.240 call y'all nigga. Like I was like, Yo, there's like 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.000 nigga niggas like when when they were they more niggas 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.960 than we are. And as I started to kind of sucking, 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.480 as I started to realize you, I was like, yeah, 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.840 part because a little bit more niggag like on everything. 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.720 That's a fact. So if y'all earned the right to 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.160 say the word nigga, like actual, why people don't even 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:02.320 know that? Like Portuguese, y'all y'all sucking Africans. I mean, 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:07.000 most Latinos are a mix of everything. No, yeah, African 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.440 that's that's the problem. I'm telling this is why, that's 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.560 why the connection is so tight. Like when I took 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.719 a lot of my couple of block Royal family members 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.200 to Africa, they didn't even know the thirty of Africa 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:24.800 speak fluent Spanish like they was looking like, right, and 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.320 French to French is like most of West Africa. But 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:31.240 there's Spanish colonialism. Every every language in Africa spoke because 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:34.640 of you know, some kind of takeover colonialism for sure. Okay, 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.720 So let's just I think that was so beautiful. But 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.680 I don't understand what cryptocurrency is. Nobody does, Okay, can 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.320 you break it down. I'm trying to spread it up 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.840 because I trying to take your investment. Did I make 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:49.280 an investment? I don't know what to do. I'm just 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.720 geeze money and just helping. I'll be flipping if you 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.600 But that's that's that's that's the thing. It's no different 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.440 from the stock market, like people buy shares, right. What 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.880 I ship think about it, The worth is by how 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.800 many people buy into it. It's really about it's all popularity. 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.480 That's all marketing, so all promoting. It's like whatever this 0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.840 is trusted the most, Like in companies, you buy shares 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.120 and companies that's more trusted. You know they're gonna make 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.120 a profit, they're gonna yield an investment, right, So you 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.560 go there with your money because you know these guys 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.000 in the next four or five ten years. Their projections 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.840 say they're gonna make triple what they're making now. So 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.080 you're like, Okay, that's someplace I want to invest in. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.400 When you look at cryptocurrency, it's a little bit different, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.360 but it's almost the same concept the way I understand 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.320 it now, I'm still learning a lot about it myself, 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.600 because the more I get into it, the more I 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.560 start to understand. You'll support a coin, Yeah, mine is 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.960 a coin. A coins is a genius name. By the way, 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.120 that's hard. So I'm invested. I don't know what I'm 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.120 investing name, but I'm invest So what you're invested in 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.600 is the future of Africa when you invest in a coin. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.200 And I heard you also say invest in Africa, we're 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.480 getting that said that later you continue about a coin. 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.600 So a coin now is like it's set up to 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:00.240 empowered you know the entrepreneur is it? Is it back? 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.440 Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know about the completely I 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:07.840 p o s are backing this stuff? Was that a 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.080 company structure that that backs up a cryptocurrency? What does 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.160 the thing? Crypto ain't really backed by nothing like bitcoining 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.000 and back by anything. Right, it's back it's the network 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.560 it's backed by the popularity and the trust factor. You 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:24.040 you can trust to know that if you buy a 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.960 bitcoin is worth a certain amount of money. That's any currency, 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.280 it's whatever the people say it's worth. Like right now, 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.360 these bottles could be worth more than money if we 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.400 all come out and say that this bottle is worth 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.880 more than this money. But in this case, the the 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.560 bottle is worth money. So in Layman's like sneakers, like sneakers. 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.959 When sneakers, everybody says this is worth this, this is 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.280 worth so much the same thing. So what do you 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.560 mean made you even interested in something like? Well man, 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:50.000 because I realized that this crypto is gonna be the 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.560 future in currency. That fact, I'll just watch how things 0:08:53.040 --> 0:08:58.760 change drastically in time to digital like and I always 0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.599 compare everything to me, Like you went from you know, 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:06.160 two inch rails to eight track tapes to vinyl, two cassettes, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.920 two CDs, two m P three's and now streaming. Right, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.080 so now when you look at currency, you went from 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:20.000 you know, stage coaches, you know, to like literally trading 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.599 whatever you can trade. They went from trading cattle to 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:29.000 trading you know, gold. I'm saying, actually creating something that 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.640 gold can be, you know, compared to which is the 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.400 actual dollar it is today and dollar eventually is gonna 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.720 turn into something digital tool. So what makes you think 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.160 that Donald dollar itself ain't gonna turn into a digital 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:44.560 cars because saying dollars analog dollars analog dollars. Credit card 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:52.079 is digital. But crypto that was money, that was that 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:57.000 was so from I mean, now crypto is gonna become 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.199 the next digital priss. So if you don't invest in that, 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.880 now it's like if you don't see that coming. Okay, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.280 now I'm blind, right, So now a can I know 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.840 a corn is rich, I know he know he got everything. 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.160 Now I want to got send reshirts on. So now 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.640 I want to invest? How did I invest? How How 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.280 does one go about someone who doesn't have your phone number? 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.040 You know what I'm saying, who can't actually get this explanation. 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.599 So just for these lamest terms out there, how do 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.240 they invest in a coin? Well, a coin it's gonna 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.719 be up for sale in October, coin base, you know, 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.599 coin base that it's gonna be everywhere. I mean a 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.080 coin is actually gonna be in more places in certain places, 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.719 and even you know, because Africa we have an old 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.360 platform to do whatever, and Africa has been ahead of 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.360 the curve using yeah we exchange through the phone. Yeah 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.360 there was, there was a bit point before big like 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:46.439 they've been on thehead of thee they've been wait ahead 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.120 of it. So you know, eventually you'll be able to 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.000 go to your local A t M and be able 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:52.319 to trade money in for eight points. So so so 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.400 I'll give you ten thousand. I give like this example, 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.439 I'll give ten thousand. Now what happens in return? Will 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.160 you buy? You? Invest in thousands and point you just 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.079 sit on the in the value goes on wow, and 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:06.800 then you trade it in and then you trade it 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.240 when you feel you need to trade it. You know 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:12.599 what I'm saying. It's like it's like yes, it's like 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.400 the point. I mean everything. You gotta learn the game, 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.080 understand how you know the currency fluctuate up and down. 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.560 If you got ten bands right now, it's yours, Yeah, 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.480 but it's yours. I don't know what I'm doing, but 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.920 I trust you because I know you're ready. But that's 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:31.400 what you don't want to trust Nobody trust, don't trust, 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.000 don't trust nobody rich, trust and rich out of you, 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.840 because that's what I learned. I don't trust rich people. 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:42.120 That's how they got rich. You know what, I'm to 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.719 be untrustworthy. Yeah, but I do respect him and I 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.280 do listen because now they're gonna give you information that 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.760 you can utilize in your own life. But the word 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.920 trust don't that's that don't like it don't exist in business. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.880 I realize, damn that's you know, it makes some noise 0:11:55.880 --> 0:12:02.079 to that. You didn't there. It's about negotiation, right, and 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.360 if you want to have the uproar the negotiation, they're 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.920 gonna be things you're not gonna tell me, so you 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.719 can have advantage over the over the negotiation. So already 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.959 ain't no trust because I'm negotiating to get a better 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.760 position and you're negotiating to get a better position. So 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.079 according to what you know and according to what I know, 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:19.160 you're gonna hold off a little bit to get in 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.960 that position because it's not a good business deal if 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.400 I'm not in a better position to you. You find 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.720 what I'm saying, trust, it's out the windows. Basically, poker, 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.360 It's basically that's exactly what it is. Okay. So also 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:38.480 you have also brought electricity to Africa. A certain part 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:43.160 of Africa. Of so, so what happened and why did 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.040 you even like fill this need? Now, first of all, 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.400 it was a need, okay, and I always looked at 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:50.760 when I first did it was just ready to kind 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.719 of get back and more for plangey. But let me 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.439 let me ask you, so, were you just going to 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.560 these certain towns and seeing that there was no electures 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.160 it's actually started triggered. How it trigger? It was he 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:04.680 was trying to do concerts in certain parts of Africa, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:06.439 but we couldn't do it because there was no electricity. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:08.800 And I was like, wait a minute, you don't tell 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.760 me if you don't have enough electricity to do a concert. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.559 And then there was an area where there was electricity. 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.240 But then when we went to go do this like 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:20.480 the concert, and before the second song even came on, 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.960 all the lights went out. And that's what I like, Man, 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:25.880 if something gotta some gotta give here, you know what 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.920 I'm saying. And that was just what triggered that happened 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.599 to me In the Dominican Republic, I was getting a 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.200 haircut and half of my haircut came off, and then 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.120 if the fucking lights went out, and it was like 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:41.199 you gotta wait two hours the ship. I'm so sorry 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.360 I changed the subjects. So it is real, like domic 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.559 you need to fix your power system a long term, 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:53.199 I'm just turning resort system. I'm so sorry, but that's this. 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:57.800 It's the same kind of shot, you know that. Yeah, 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.600 so that triggered it. But then when I want the job, 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.199 you know, I wanted to both visit your grandparents and 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.679 when they live in there's no electricity, then you want 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.920 to really your grandparends. You say grandmother didn't have electricity, 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.560 she was living what she complaining like when you went 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:18.160 to Yeah, but everything that's that's what they lived at 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.320 every day. So they didn't even notice that that was 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.520 a luxury that they never even experienced that the rest 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.640 of the world is experiencing. Me leaving out of the 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.080 experience with the experience coming back and you was feeling guilty, 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:39.960 So visit my grandma. But you wanted to be you know, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.520 because something you like, you gotta think about it. You 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.760 don't really know what's good to you, you know what 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:47.160 I'm saying. And that wasn't a money play for you, correct, 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:51.400 because you actually gave your money, right, put up my 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.080 own money to get you know, to get it started. 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:55.960 And what was it like ten thousand homes at the time, 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.160 it was ten homes. And what's the infrastructure you're setting up? 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.080 Like what is it that it takes to start to 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.600 give electricity to a town? Um, it depends on what 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.720 kind of electricity you're given. Like damn, what are you 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:11.200 guys doing?

No, no, no, I was a little dark 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.840 and Drake. But I want to be because big up 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.240 to Sammy Sosa, Big up to um what's the Jamaican 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:09.960 guy that they super soap wasn't named Myles Cocktail that 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:14.560 was locked up? Man, Yeah he locked up. But I'm 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.920 just saying he used the soap to Kim White and 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:20.960 I'm like, that's he's white.

That's the 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.160 reason why they try to promote it as a curse, 0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.480 because you know, they don't want you to feel like 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.760 a king that you actually are like regularly bro even 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:09.120 out here man, whenever that's whenever it's hot.
