Speaker 1: I didn't even China yet. I don't mind thinking about it.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe one day man and my boy do
Speaker 1: some vagina and then I'll leave. But my new song
Speaker 1: has it's like I like vagina. It's called Keeper and
Speaker 1: He's And it's so funny because when I wrote it,
Speaker 1: everybody like I was supposed to sell it, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not selling this. It's mine, right, and
Speaker 1: it's like, but it's about a girl. I was like,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, how many lesbians do you know? A
Speaker 1: lot of them? So I could sing whatever I want
Speaker 1: to say. So where you're from? Oklahoma? Okay? Okay? I
Speaker 1: don't know why I thought you was from the UK Noma.
Speaker 1: I thought Virginia with the fingerwaves, like I know, I love.
Speaker 1: It's not always like that. No, this is one new thing, right,
Speaker 1: I didn't know bringing them back? Okay, yeah, come onybody
Speaker 1: jump over missing. But it's so crazy because I had
Speaker 1: I had figures in the nineties, just like everybody else.
Speaker 1: But it's like when you have short hair, you gotta
Speaker 1: figure out are you gonna lace it with? We've what
Speaker 1: you mean the nineties? You like twenty five thirty three? Oh?
Speaker 1: I thought you was like, ok No, they lied one
Speaker 1: time on week media and I liked it. I let
Speaker 1: it go. That's how because everybody was so scared at
Speaker 1: the age. It was like talking about Beyonce, like is
Speaker 1: she older than I was like, just stick with twenty six,
Speaker 1: say it's work with that. Age is a blessing man,
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, what y'all see like the riots,
Speaker 1: It wasn't a riot, but y'all see, oh Monday last night,
Speaker 1: I like to call it non peaceful protest, which one
Speaker 1: is the ones in New York. It was so scary
Speaker 1: yea and twenty people got arrested. We came from the movies.
Speaker 1: It was so scared. Oh you mean the protest in
Speaker 1: New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Now because I
Speaker 1: was on my way to the screening and all the
Speaker 1: trees were close down and blacked off. It was a
Speaker 1: lot of chapping because of the protest. The police make
Speaker 1: it looks so scary You're like, oh my god. It
Speaker 1: was like so many police people like running. I was like,
Speaker 1: if we get out of here right, yes, now, you're
Speaker 1: a well known ghostwriter for really popular people ghost exactly.
Speaker 1: But I tell you what, I getting mad when you
Speaker 1: talk about the hits you rule no because they the
Speaker 1: thing is okay. So when they say Nicki Minaj as
Speaker 1: the road nigga, I ain't never wrote a rap in life,
Speaker 1: but Nicki Minaj I don't. I just sat in the
Speaker 1: room with her and like and she's like, what I
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, I don't know you James and stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is intimidate takes that very But the
Speaker 1: thing is she should I write hooks? You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like with Rihanna, I write hook songs. Rihanna
Speaker 1: don't care. She's like, yes, you know. Clive David said
Speaker 1: he never let when he using them write a song.
Speaker 1: He saidcause you're not a songwriter. Nicki Minaj is a writer.
Speaker 1: She get write. We did Super Base together, so she
Speaker 1: does write all her stuff. I write hooks for people,
Speaker 1: which would give me the co write, and then I
Speaker 1: write songs. What you give me the whole song? You know?
Speaker 1: Can you stay still? No, because I'm nervous. I want
Speaker 1: you to go in and out of the night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's really writing that. It is good and I love
Speaker 1: these chairs. I know it's really writing. I know it's
Speaker 1: like it's cool with that puddle coming from just playing
Speaker 1: in my head. But they don't let anybody have writing
Speaker 1: credits to or producer credit. If you look at her,
Speaker 1: I'm married and got writing credits. So that's a lie,
Speaker 1: you know, Beyonce. It's very you know, particular about what
Speaker 1: she want to say. You cannot go and talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, breaking up with a boyfriend. She was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not on that. It's a nice song, thank you,
Speaker 1: I'm married. I'm married. And then whatever you speak come
Speaker 1: into this. You don't want to be singing about heartbreaking
Speaker 1: and I'll say you're like, oh shoot, it just really happened.
Speaker 1: So I get why she married don't talk about it either,
Speaker 1: so I get it. How do you write for Bee though?
Speaker 1: Like I mean, could you say you write whole song
Speaker 1: for running? You write whole songs with Beyonce? Well, one
Speaker 1: song start over. I wrote the whole song, and she
Speaker 1: chased some stuff and then countdown I wrote. We wrote
Speaker 1: that with a whole lot of people, and then the
Speaker 1: last time I went in, it's last time. We just
Speaker 1: did a lot of scratches and then she goes and
Speaker 1: see if she liked it. But I haven't gotten that
Speaker 1: on Beyonce in a while. I'm like, dang's up, Like
Speaker 1: you don't like my stuff? Do you have to start
Speaker 1: writing when you're doing movies? Like when you were filming
Speaker 1: pitch Perfect too? Was it just working on the film?
Speaker 1: I made myself do that though, like last movie. I
Speaker 1: did where have you been When? On Pitch Perfect But
Speaker 1: I was so unfocused and they was like, Esther, we
Speaker 1: need you to say, And I would wake up sleepy
Speaker 1: because I'm trying to stay at the studio and I
Speaker 1: just felt like because I didn't. When I went to
Speaker 1: do pitch Perfect one, it was so nervous. I thought
Speaker 1: that I was making a mistake because I was supposed
Speaker 1: to be with Rihanna and Ireland doing Talk to Talk,
Speaker 1: like doing that album, and I thought that I was
Speaker 1: like cheating on my career. Like if this didn't go
Speaker 1: to DVD, I'm gonna look stupid. I'm saying, like you
Speaker 1: like they didn't know that movie is gonna be as
Speaker 1: big as it wise really still didn't. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: hope that, like we break a lot of barriers. It's time.
Speaker 1: But this time I went to the set and I
Speaker 1: was like, no music, no music, no music, because I
Speaker 1: wanted to be an actress. You know, I didn't want
Speaker 1: to be an actress when I first did It's perfect.
Speaker 1: I wanted to do a voiceover and then they gave
Speaker 1: me that and I was like, okay, it's cool. You
Speaker 1: did vitalful ice age, right, Yeah, yeah, I got to
Speaker 1: be like a siren. But I feel like I got
Speaker 1: a voiceover voice yeah you do. It just won't grow,
Speaker 1: I know. I know. The songwriting got to be more
Speaker 1: lucrative though, so like why even waste your time on
Speaker 1: set when you could be getting that money and the
Speaker 1: song writer that's what all great song right, No, Because
Speaker 1: the thing is it's first of all, it's lonely. It's lonely.
Speaker 1: You go in the room, you see it is no
Speaker 1: matter what the money is, what you give you got
Speaker 1: a boom more than that. No, it's it's it's like
Speaker 1: you know, I think music writing music is like a
Speaker 1: saying asylum. It's like padded rooms that you singing to yourself.
Speaker 1: Nobody can't hear, but you think you're dope. You're like
Speaker 1: this is a crazy area. And then on a film set,
Speaker 1: you just you can. I would like come in here
Speaker 1: every day. That's thricee And like I talk to Charlotte,
Speaker 1: I can talk. I can talk to Angel. That's fun.
Speaker 1: But I go to studio when I go to study,
Speaker 1: just like now I feel you. But what about when
Speaker 1: you get that royalty check? Though that But it's not
Speaker 1: all about the money. And that to my mama, like
Speaker 1: the money is something that makes me mad because everybody
Speaker 1: you want, you gotta make definitely keep them. They make me.
Speaker 1: But it's like that's when people are like, why won't
Speaker 1: she give me? Like me having these clothes on my
Speaker 1: family would be like, what we just asked you for this?
Speaker 1: Why can't we get that you got to six hundred
Speaker 1: dollars shoes on you got four diamond areas on the side.
Speaker 1: You know what, No, it's like, don't talk. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's the thing of feeling over and title. You know,
Speaker 1: you feel like you're guilty because you got it in
Speaker 1: the family don't got it, and you try to give
Speaker 1: them some and that ain't none of You gotta take
Speaker 1: your whole skin off and give it to him. You know.
Speaker 1: It's almost like you gotta give them where you have
Speaker 1: nothing left so they can't ask again. So the money
Speaker 1: becomes the problem, you know, in the success is what
Speaker 1: you want. So when I go and get to do
Speaker 1: movies a songwriter and I just kept off a tour Nikki,
Speaker 1: that was I mean, I cried when she said yeah,
Speaker 1: I could come in because I opened up for her
Speaker 1: and trade songs. And most of the artists I've worked
Speaker 1: with would never do that. It would never learn and
Speaker 1: it must be a good feeling, Like to go to
Speaker 1: the club and they playing your song I wrote that song,
Speaker 1: Can I get in here? Please? Well, hell, I don't
Speaker 1: go to the club. But I used to go to
Speaker 1: the club and it would make me depressed because if
Speaker 1: I didn't hear my song, I feel like I need
Speaker 1: to go back to the studio work, and I haven't
Speaker 1: heard some songs in a while because I stopped writing.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I don't want to be in here right,
Speaker 1: I'm jealous. It's very intriguing. And you you say you don't
Speaker 1: go to the club. A lot of people feel like
Speaker 1: they have to be in the club to see what's
Speaker 1: going on to keep people. I'm moving to. I look
Speaker 1: at people's instagram. Now. I like movies because I have
Speaker 1: to tell a story, so I don't need music and
Speaker 1: music listening to music over and over again, I'm just
Speaker 1: constantly dictating it and like, what is that? That's terrible?
Speaker 1: Why do you do that? It's it's a headache and
Speaker 1: Pitts perfect. It is probably a perfect movie for you
Speaker 1: because you get to sing, you get to dance, you
Speaker 1: get to act. And it looked like y'all probably have fun,
Speaker 1: feeling we have a lot of fun because it's again
Speaker 1: it's like you're not just talking to the actresses. You're
Speaker 1: talking to the crafty, you talk to the light guy.
Speaker 1: You find friends everywhere, and we're in a middle baton rouge,
Speaker 1: so it ain't nowhere else to go. So we're just
Speaker 1: having a good time, though it's just more of a family.
Speaker 1: When it was time for me to God just cried.
Speaker 1: I was just like, you know, can I get on
Speaker 1: another movie? Or can I can I get you know
Speaker 1: what the hell? Cried crier. No, I'm an aries, you know,
Speaker 1: but that probably Pi and Mess when I'll be crying.
Speaker 1: You know, house you still very first dream house. They
Speaker 1: said you bought your first dream house recently. No, I
Speaker 1: got three houses. Pleased. I made my first dream house.
Speaker 1: So my first house was like in La and it
Speaker 1: was a condo, its beautiful stunt up. Then in my
Speaker 1: second house about the Georgia. And then in La I
Speaker 1: went to this area and I took got this house
Speaker 1: and I cut it it out. It was ugly. It's ugly,
Speaker 1: so I cut it out. And now it's my dream
Speaker 1: house because I made it my own. And it's like,
Speaker 1: but it feels a little bit too if it's lazy
Speaker 1: over there. I feel like I don't necessarily want to
Speaker 1: live there. I feel like it's a house that I
Speaker 1: should live in when I'm fifty. You can't just sit down.
Speaker 1: Huh know who's your boot? Oh? Is he is he
Speaker 1: in the business? What did he do? He is? Together?

Speaker 1: think that's why. That's why he got the whole head
Speaker 1: thing because he's from VA. Know that was Joe math

Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he's so sarcastic one Twitter. So I
Speaker 1: told him, like to calm down, man. Now he's a
Speaker 1: good due Okay, Now does he help you right because
Speaker 1: he's a very well known writer. Oh, we don't play
Speaker 1: those games. You don't want no confusion. How did you like,
Speaker 1: how did the night is still young? With Nikki? I'm
Speaker 1: sorry he does he get writing? Granting on that? Okay?

Speaker 1: from me. I was like, yes they do, not, just
Speaker 1: just all about what you want, you know. So you know,
Speaker 1: we went to a moment that I had to really
Speaker 1: trust and then he showed it proved itself over and
Speaker 1: over again. He's like, I don't know how many time
Speaker 1: I go to get to prove to you that I
Speaker 1: don't care about what you do. I'm like, well, hey, finally, guy,
