11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we've been hearing all the news about

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 3: you know, I guess I don't know if you call

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 3: it a health scare health issue, so you.

14
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Know, honestly, I would have never told nobody, and I

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: hate people being in my business. There's plenty of times

16
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: I've been in the hospital for sickle cell and I

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: don't tell because I don't like all this attention. Although

18
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: I do want to say thank you for all those

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: who have prayed for me. And you know, oh, oh,

20
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: I almost dropping my phone. Sorry asked about me. I

21
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: appreciate that, but uh, I just wanted to clarify sense

22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: it was out there. I guess they had to tell

23
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: people because I missed shows for insurance reasons and the

24
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: promoter and stuff like that. I just think it was

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: a little bit tea detailed and then now not enough details.

26
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: So what happened to me can happen to anyone. What

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: happened was I was feeling totally fine. I had got

28
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: to Syracuse, New York. Off the plane, I ate something,

29
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: so that's why I thought I had food poisoning. My

30
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: stomach felt like if the Incredible Hawk took it and

31
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: just said hope, smash, like it was.

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: A variable thing.

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: It was like I couldn't stand up, I couldn't talk,

34
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't walk. And when the doctor came to see

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: me to prove that I was sick, he immediately was like,

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: she has to go in and admit her. I got

37
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: there and they was talking about going on the surgery side.

38
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh up, wait a minute. What So what

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: happened was is I had a C section twenty four

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: years ago. So this can happen to any man who

41
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: has had abdominal surgery, any woman who has had a

42
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: c section or five or assists removal, anything done to

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: your domino that causes adhesions, which is scar tissue, so

44
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: your small intestines move around. And it had nothing to

45
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: do with constipation. No, I'm not on a zempic. No,

46
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: it had nothing to do with sickle cell. It was

47
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: just merely scar tissue hit my lower intestine and kinked

48
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: it and blocked it off. Wow, and it moved and

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: healed itself and unkinked. That's how easy it was. But

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: this is something people die from. It's very serious. Some

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: people have to have some of their colon or intestines

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: removed or scar tissue, and many have died from this.

53
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: It's not diverticulitis. I seen a lot of people trying

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: to diagnose me. You know what I'm saying. Everybody was

55
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: a doctor all of a sudden. But yeah, so I said, so, well,

56
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: since my business is out there, let me turn this

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: into an educational thing and let people know this is

58
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: really a thing, because I had no idea. The doctor said,

59
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: he's had eight year old who have fifty year old surgeries,

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: and this can happen. It can happen to anyone at

61
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: any time, and then most cases it heals itself like

62
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: mine did. And I'm three days out, I'm already working again.

63
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: I leave Friday for my next show. Ready already, I'm

64
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: back up and at them. There's no pains right now

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: or anything like that, Like you're not in pain, nothing,

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: nothing at all. I'm eating normal diet. The first three

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: days were testing. They put me on ivy fluid payments,

68
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: a medication called Bentos for stomach spasms, because that's what

69
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: what hurts so bad, is the vomiting and the spasms.

70
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: It was like ten times more than a childbirth contractions, right,

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: And I can't even That's why I said, I have

72
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: to say hoaxmas, because that's the only thing I could

73
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: think of. Somebody strong just ripping your stomach like that.

74
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: And I never knew that your stomach could even hurt

75
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: hurt like that, you know. But what was disheartening to

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: me was just like reading some of the jokes and stuff,

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: Oh she just needed the poop, y'all. Nothing's funny about

78
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: people fighting for their life or having surgery. Other loved

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: ones have died from this. Nothing's funny about people's health.

80
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: And I just also it irritates me that anything that

81
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 1: happens to me, it's like, oh, you know, she got

82
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: them simple sales. No, I'm tea on Watkins. I just

83
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 1: happen to have a disease, but it's not who I

84
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: am and all that I am and everything not associated

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: with sickle cell. Everybody, That's what I mean, That's what

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: I thought.

87
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: I didn't express that, but I just said to myself,

88
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: I just assumed it was the sickle cell. But I'm

89
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: sure when you first started feeling ill, you know your

90
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: body and you've experienced sickle cell before, so you knew

91
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: immediately this was something different.

92
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was something different with sickle cell. I can't

93
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: even tell y'all like I just got out of the

94
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: hospital of the week before last from a crisis. Like people,

95
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: I don't share this at all. I keep my private

96
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: private because I don't even like all this attention. I

97
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: don't you know what I'm saying, And I never tell

98
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: when I'm in the hospital. If y'all knew how many

99
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: times I've been there, shit, we'd be having these interviews

100
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: every year, every other month, you know what I mean.

101
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: Because there's no cure and I still deal with it.

102
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: But I just want to clarify that every time somebody

103
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: hears something about me, they just instantly think it's my

104
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: sickle tell and that's just not true. I just want

105
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: people to know this can happen to all y'all, like

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: any and everybody. Like this happens to men all the time.

107
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: I know a couple of men who have died from it. Yeah,

108
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: this happens. I just never knew it could happen from adhesions.

109
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: You know from.

110
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: I seen you clapping back a lot. Did you feel

111
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: like you had to answer these people? I've seen people

112
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: saying that the kid the show should be canceled, you

113
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: should leave the group. But you were clapping back like

114
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: it really bothered you what people were actually saying about you.

115
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good, you to tell me to quit my

116
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: damn job. Like life is life, Life comes with stuff

117
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: like life ain't easy. But you don't never hear me complain.

118
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: I don't get on stage and say I just came

119
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: from the ambulance. I did our HBO special straight from

120
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: the ambulance out the hospital, went right back. But you

121
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: ain't never heard me complain. I ain't never said nothing.

122
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But if you work hard

123
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: for something and you like what you do, who are

124
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: you to tell me to stop? My stomach issue didn't

125
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: have anything with me stopping my career. I'm not stopping

126
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: Chili from going on doing what she wants to do

127
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: solo or anybody else. You know what I'm saying. It's

128
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: not stopping anything for anybody but me, and if I

129
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: am okay, I'm not stupid. I'm not gonna go out

130
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: there and kill myself for no one and know nothing.

131
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: That's why the show was canceled because I knew better

132
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I know how to say I

133
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: can't do it, but I love performing. It's in my

134
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: heart to send my soul. I'm gonna do it. But

135
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: when it's time to stop, then I'll stop. Then I

136
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: will stop. You know what I'm saying. But I know

137
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: what my body can do, and I know what I

138
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: can't do, and anything you want in life, the way

139
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I look at it, I was dealt these cars. I

140
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: was born this way, so I don't know any different.

141
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: So for me, I knew I had to do and

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: go the extra mile to do what I want to do.

143
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: But this is what I want, so then I do that.

144
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do that because

145
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: this is what I want to do, and this is

146
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: what I chose So, okay, I do a lot more

147
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: than your average artists to get up there. But I

148
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: chose this life and and that's something I knew that

149
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: I would have to deal with. But when it's time

150
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: for me to send my black mind down, trust me,

151
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: I do. I do.

152
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,280

00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry, no, I'm just saying these are spot dates.

Speaker 1: It's October. I just rescheduled one today, October twenty fifth.

162
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: So don't hold me to that. You know, things happen,

163
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: but that's what we're talking about. And I just lokat

164
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: did today tea boss? We've grown as hell? Now?

165
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: Is it harder to toil as you get older? Do

166
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: you want to even leave a house?

167
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: You see us a child? It's hard for everybody. Hell,

168
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: everybody out here get hurt, you know what I'm saying.

169
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: So the average person. Touring is hard, like don't you

170
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: ain't gotta have a disease to take a break or

171
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: get an injury. It's hard out here. My dances be

172
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: broke down at twenty, you know what I'm saying. So no,

173
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie like, yeah, things are harder. That's

174
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: why I'm gearing up to retire probably next year. It

175
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: would be my last. So if y'all want to come

176
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: to CTC, I suggest you do it now because I'm

177
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: not gonna be doing this much longer because I am

178
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: fifty four, but I'm blessed. I was told I wouldn't

179
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: live till I wouldn't live past thirty. I'm fifty four.

180
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: It's still on stage, selling at arenas, in the stadiums,

181
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: like come on, man, traveling the world. This is like

182
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: a dream and something that I prayed for and God

183
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: gave it to me. So when God and my body

184
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: says the time to stop, that I will stop. I

185
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: ain't crazy, like you know what I'm saying. So I'm

186
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: not gonna kill myself doing this. You know, and I

187
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: don't dance as much as I used to. I want

188
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: to put that out there, like I know you only

189
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: dropped down just a little bit. Yeah, I feel got it.

190
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I ain't Eddie Kine in it, you know, like nights

191
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: like this, I ain't out here.

192
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 4: But how did you know it was time to retire?

193
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: You just said the word retired, and it kind of

194
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 4: made my heart drop a little bit. Touring got you.

195
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 4: You gotta clare, okay, because when you said that, I

196
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 4: was like.

197
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: Oh, wait, no, I ain't going nowhere. We're gonna be

198
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: doing other things. But retired from touring because it is

199
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: hard on your body, and because I have simple sell

200
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to when it's time to spend time

201
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: with my children, I don't want to, you know, be

202
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: like broke down Benny, you know, tow it from the

203
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: flow up. No, So I'm gonna stop and and do

204
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: other things. I can spend more time with my children

205
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, you know what I'm saying. So

206
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the rest. I have learned how to

207
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: pace myself on stage.

208
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: What did your children say? What does your doing? I

209
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: know you have a twenty two or twenty three year old,

210
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: so she knows what it is. What does she say

211
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: that she say? Mama, sit your ass down?

212
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: What is your day? Mom? Don't go on no more tours,

213
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: forget all that you gave your life to these people.

214
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: Stop thirty two years. So I said, you know what,

215
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: You're right. I have thirty two years I've given to y'all.

216
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: I'm done. I just want to end it the right way,

217
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: kind of like how Michael Jordan went out. I gave

218
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: it to you, and I want to bow out gracefully

219
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: the right way, that's all. So I want to do, like,

220
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: you know, a bye bye and thank you for you know,

221
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: this lovely career and your support, and then you'll see

222
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: me doing other things. But just you know, it is

223
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: hard on my body. I have a tor moniscus that

224
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: I've had a bad need for like twenty something years,

225
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna finally go ahead and have surgery on.

226
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: I kept juicing it up with steroids, but it's really

227
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: doing more damage because you know, you can't fill the damage.

228
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: But it's so I think that, you know, I write

229
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: movie scripts, I executive produce movies. I produce, you know,

230
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: So I want to get into some of my other

231
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: passions and I'll probably come out with some more music.

232
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: But just dancing all over the place, it took a

233
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: lot and I'm not gonna lie because I'm a dancer

234
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: by heart. It took a lot from me to learn

235
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: how to pace myself on stage because I see somebody

236
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: and I'm competitive. I want to go get it, you

237
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm like, are you trying? Me?

238
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: Are trying? You know? So I want to just dance.

239
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: But everybody will tell y'all take it easy because I don't

240
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: have nothing to prove. Everybody know I could dance and

241
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: you can't lose that. I hate when people be like,

242
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: she still got a girl. I'm never gonna lose. I'm

243
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: always have that, and that's my body just gonna allow. Huh.

244
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: Dance is harder to do right now, to creep dance

245
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 3: or the waterfall dance.

246
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: Neither one those are easy. As I'll get out. I

247
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: could do that in my sleep out the hospital bed

248
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: while I'm having a sickle cell crisis. The ones that

249
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: are hard are the ones that you're down on your

250
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: knees and stuff like that. Only because my right me,

251
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: my my left me. I can still get down there now,

252
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: you know. But my right knee is just torn from

253
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: all the damage. It's just like being an athlete. It's

254
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: wear and tear.

255
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: You know, I wanted to know. You know, you're saying

256
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: that you might retire and it's almost so as far

257
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: as touring is concerned. Do you feel like TC gets

258
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: the credit and everything that they deserve for as much

259
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: as you guys have done and how you've changed the game,

260
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: the sex talk that you guys have, you know, started

261
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: in those conversations, you feel like you get the respect

262
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: and you know, just do that you guys deserve.

263
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm the older audience who knows. But from the youngsters,

264
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: they have no idea, you know what I'm saying. I mean,

265
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: but you know I don't. I don't look for praise.

266
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: I know what I do. But I did a glad

267
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: commercial recently, you know, and you know, a product deal,

268
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: and in our world that's a big deal. You know

269
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's just funny. The TikTokers thought differently.

270
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: They thought it was I was embarrassing myself. They said, uh,

271
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: it was as bad as when Mary did Burger King,

272
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: like what I committed. Like, but anybody who got common

273
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: sense knows that that's a billion dollar company. Dummy, right,

274
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: you're crazy, and that that check for that thirty huh No,

275
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: It's okay that that check for that uh like thirty

276
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, second little dance is good boo boo. And

277
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it for the money. But it's Glad.

278
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: Don't we all have Glad and Chlorox in our house.

279
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: Don't you use trash bags? Ain't nothing wrong with that.

280
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: That's a great thing. From where we're from, we all

281
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: try to get product deals. I wish I could have

282
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: got him earlier on, so you're gonna see me doing

283
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: more product Funny, how.

284
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: Do you choose?

285
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: Is there a part of you that feels like you

286
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: you you might be trying to make up for lost

287
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 3: time because of all the money y'all didn't make.

288
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: When you No, because you know, everything happens for a reason.

289
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: I'm not making up for lost time. I'm just doing

290
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: what makes sense, you know what I'm saying. I really

291
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: do use Glad trash bags, and and I have a

292
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: whole bunch of Clorox products in my house. And I've

293
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: always wanted a brand deal. That's a big deal, you

294
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I used to look at Ludacris

295
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: and other people like, oh he gotta chase think commercial,

296
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: Oh he gotta you know what I mean, that's like

297
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: major and and children don't know that, you know what

298
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They don't understand business. And I also don't

299
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 1: like when people go, oh, it's just TC now, when

300
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: you work hard for something and you bought your name

Speaker 1: a million dollars per letter, honey, and you work for

302
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,520

Speaker 1: always be and I will always have that name TLC

304
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: because it belongs to us, and we own it a

00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: out of it. I've never seen anybody do that.

311
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: It's just the it's just the youngsters.

312
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: It's kind of sad.

313
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: It's like who's raised y'all, Like my kids don't think

314
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: like that. It's just I'm really baffled like by some

315
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: of these comments, like because usually it like comas, don't

316
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: bother me, y'all to say what you won't like, you

317
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: don't hinder my day one way or the other. It's

318
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: just sad because it's our culture, it's our you know,

319
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: our our future that's talking here, and they're like cuckoo

320
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: for Coco Pops and they have no common sense and

321
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: it's embarrassing. I'm embarrassing myself. No, you're embarrassing yourself, sweetie.

322
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: You have no idea.

323
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: Niggas retard to t boss. Listen, let me tell you something.

324
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 3: I got my little niece, I call it my niece, Nyla.

325
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: Nyla is what twenty eight twenty nine.

326
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: She lovesoc I mean, she swears by y'all, and she's

327
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: like one of the most popping DJs out here right now.

328
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: So I think you got to give yourself a little

329
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: bit more credit when it comes to that young generation

330
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: because they really do.

331
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: Uh, you're right, You're right. So it's not everybody, it's

332
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 1: just I think it's just ones on social media. It

333
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: wasn't even Instagram or Twitter. It was just the TikTokers.

334
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

335
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, but I'm not gonna let

336
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: nobody take something great and turn its sour. Like you know,

337
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm out here having fun. Sean Bankhead choreographed it. He's

338
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: doing like Victoria Monet, and everybody out here is popping,

339
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: so everybody, a lot of high end people were involved,

340
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And then people be saying

341
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: stuff like, you know, it cracks me up if some

342
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: people talk about I look at them talking about other

343
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: artists being washed up, but if they were washed up,

344
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: they couldn't even get that job. People like it's just

345
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: so like embarrassing that they're typing is just y' y'all

346
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: should think before or do research before y'all be talking

347
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: like it's just. But ultimately, I get more love than

348
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: anything you already.

349
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 4: Got that you've never seen any of the stuff that

350
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: you're saying, like it's I and only reasons I'm looking

351
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 4: at that because I mean to me and anybody I know,

352
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 4: it's like what TFC is.

353
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: Like, right, thank you. I get a lot of love.

354
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: I will say that. And I only seen this recently

355
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: because I had to look at it to give them stats,

356
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,040

00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: some of it was kind of funny, but I like,

360
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 1: it's also when you think about its sad. I'm like

361
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: this is what my son has to look up to. Hey,

00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: I know that you never discussed your health stuff like

394
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: you said, and you've been dealing with all these forever,

395
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 3: so sing I'm sorry that you have to be out

396
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 3: here explaining this.

397
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: No, thank you for giving me the platform to do it.

398
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: I just thought, like, you know, since it's out there,

399
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: why don't I share this with women? Because I was

400
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: sitting there baffled myself, like I might have to have surgery?

401
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: What this is the thing? I never even knew this

402
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: could happen or existed. So since it's out there, I

403
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: was like, well, let me just let people know, you know,

404
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: everything and what it really was. Because the jokes, I

405
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: just think people are just so insensitive. I don't know

406
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: if it's the video games or the violence and movies

407
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: people are so desensitized because I'm like, people's loved ones

408
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: can die from this, and it's just not funny, you know.

409
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: I'll just tell her to go poop. That's not funny.

410
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: That's not funny. And there were no warning signs out

411
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: before you start. I flew to Syracuse. I was feeling fine, dancing, singing,

412
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: acting silly like I always do. And then next thing

413
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: you know, I just got a cramp and I got

414
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: off the phone with my friend, like on my stomach

415
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: curs and then next thing you know, they're every two

416
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: to three minutes apart, and I'm like, I remember it

417
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: being two thirty, laying in a f the position, vomiting

418
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: like twelve times, and literally it was like eight something

419
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: by time I looked up, like I didn't even know,

420
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: like I was in so much pain. It was light,

421
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: and then it's dark and it's hours later and I'm

422
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: not even aware, you know, and they're taking me to

423
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: the hospital and met me immediately and talking about surgery.

424
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, but I didn't have to have surgery.

425
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: And I'm eating normal, no pains at all, like it

426
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: never happens, and everything's just fine. And that was baffling

427
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: to me from how much pain I was in. I

428
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: was like, because I like asking can I eat? And

429
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: he was like, honey, it has to do with the

430
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: outside of your intestines, not the inside. And I'm like,

431
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: whoa you know? So that was huh is it called again?

432
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: It's called an abdominal obstruction. Okay, yeah, so.
