What you want to ask him? 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:32.640 How do you handle how do you and Zena handle 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:37.440 you being such an attractive performer because you can't perform, 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.440 you can sing, you can act. We've seen all of 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.640 those things. So how does she work through that? How 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:45.640 does she manage? 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:45.840 Like? 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:50.400 My man is handsome, he's attractive, he's fine, and not 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.440 that you're using your body as a tool. It is Okay, 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.600 that's up to you and how you tell the truth. 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.640 But how do how does she manage that having an 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:00.800 attraction husband? 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.080 Well, and I'll just answer the question. I mean, it's 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.200 there's so many layers to that, but I think it's 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:13.320 up to me again to make her feel safe there 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.600 you go. It's up to me to make sure that 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:20.720 she knows she has the number one position, because we 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:25.840 gotta know, like in this social media era, something can 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:31.040 look like anything, right, and so you don't. You don't 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:33.160 want your good to be even spoken of, and so 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:37.080 you have to you have to be smart about. 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.200 Where you go, what you're doing. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:44.120 Who you're seeing with, correct, what you're saying, correct all 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.440 of those things. Because that's why I don't go nowhere 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:54.600 because it gets back really fast. And in a world 0:16:54.960 --> 0:17:00.880 where misery loves company, right, they would to be able 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.920 to send my wife, well, he can't be too much 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:05.520 of your husband because he was. 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:07.960 Just blah blah blah, and. 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.040 Here's a picture of it, or here's a DM of it, 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:12.639 or here's a text of it. 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.399 So a lot of it starts with me. 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:19.480 I mean, of course, ultimately, she as a woman, as 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:24.400 she walked into this, I was this before we got married, correct, 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.080 So there has to be a certain level of acceptance 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:31.520 of what I am before she even decides to partake, 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.800 because it is a lot. But then once we're in 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:39.240 there again, it's my job to make sure she feels safe. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.240 So the proper word is discernment. You're using discernment to 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.280 make sure that she's safe. Yes, because we live in 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:48.959 this world where people can change things around words, and 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.600 a mere picture can be turned into I was with 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.600 your man when it's really mirror a picture. 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.040 Here's a question for you, Yes, sir, same question. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:03.080 What do you think the biggest difference for you between well, 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.280 what's your favorite era of music? 0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:07.480 Let's start there in nineties, early two thousands. 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:08.120 Argon further back. 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:14.280 Yeah, I like the seventies and the eighties and the nineties. 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.560 The reason for the seventies is because when you go 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.959 back to a man leading and making a woman feel 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.560 safe and provided for. I saw that with my father, 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:28.440 and so no family is perfect, but in that home 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:33.280 it was music playing. There was togetherness. We weren't hungry. 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.879 We played together, he said, and watched us play together. 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.520 We didn't know if there were hard times, but I 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.840 remember my mother. She's from New Orleans, Louisiana. So I 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:46.479 remember her playing Love and Happiness. I remember her playing 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.960 I Love You. I remember Al Green. So I had 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.520 this uncle from New Orleans, right, my uncle Billy. I 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.399 remember him playing Rick James. I did not know Mary Jane. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:59.600 I thought that was a woman. I really thought it 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:04.480 was a so until he passed away. And so they 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.760 was doing Mary Jane in the back and not it. 0:19:06.800 --> 0:19:08.320 But we were in the front. So it's like, I 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:12.919 remember Rick James, the Mary Jane Girls, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:22.280 Oh my love thoughts from you, it's not worth Winny 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:28.760 was saying, baby, you give good love to me, so 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:34.000 good take this hart of mine. Okay, But then we 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.199 got up to like the two thoughts. Oh no, Lie, 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.160 I love my husband. When we was having a hard time, 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.679 we was really I was watching b E T and 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.280 maybe I deserve I'm like, I'm gonna get you the 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.640 I'm gonna get you. Never knew that I would have 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:50.360 this day and see you several days because even ten 0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:54.840 years ago and at on the world too essence, I 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.080 made my way up to the station because my goal 0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.800 is I'm gonna see and touch everybody that I enjoyed. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:01.960 He was in Afghanistan. He said, what do you want 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:03.840 to do for Mother's Day? I'm not here. Take the 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:07.000 children to six Flags, do the road to Essence Tank 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.280 is gonna be their Seventh Street is gonna be there. 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.240 And we had a good time. So my goal is 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.360 he gives me the things that my dreams are different. 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.600 It's music and laughter, and so every single time that 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.560 I can get a chance, I get my chance appropriately 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.920 because I'm married and that's somebody else's man, and I 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.480 don't want what nobody else has. So my goal is 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.560 if you're making something for us to enjoy. When you 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:33.960 all are sitting and in the studio all night and 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.720 doing things, I'm like, yeah, we're gonna go all night 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.600 because you are entertaining us.
