Speaker 4: artists got to stay away from these girls. Man, artists,
Speaker 4: I'm talking about artist Eteiner's got to stay away from Like,
Speaker 4: I'm just that's too much.
Speaker 2: He prob.
Speaker 3: They got to go get NDA's.
Speaker 11: I mean, maybe he didn't get no just green.
Speaker 4: He's sending ten thousand.
Speaker 10: Yeah, you understand. He a young He a young boy
Speaker 10: from the.
Speaker 11: Country who's making thirty million dollars a year.
Speaker 10: Right, No, he ain't making that much much making. He's
Speaker 10: making a lot of money.
Speaker 11: Okay, and he probably didn't get no country before this,
Speaker 11: so he's just trying to catch up, like he's you know,
Speaker 11: y'all out.
Speaker 3: Here, y'all in this business.
Speaker 2: Get in d a's. I'm telling you, get an n
Speaker 2: d A as some people might play with you, but
Speaker 2: not as many guns play with you as you think
Speaker 2: when you when you get him to sign that NDA.
Speaker 11: Okay, so how do you present an NDA at what time?
Speaker 11: Like right before you'd be like, oh, hold on, I
Speaker 11: know it's hid and heavy, but if I was, I
Speaker 11: stick it in you.
Speaker 2: If I was, you have security and basically like, all right,
Speaker 2: nine times out of ten, y'all gun link. When y'all linked,
Speaker 2: before you even come up these stairs, my security gonna
Speaker 2: go down there hand you this phone, like, hey, this
Speaker 2: is a non disclosure agreement sign is or you can't
Speaker 2: go up stairious?
Speaker 11: Is that for like a one off? Is this for
Speaker 11: somebody that you plan to engage one time?
Speaker 3: You can have your phone?
Speaker 2: You could, You could do whatever you want because I
Speaker 2: promise you if you ever post or if you ever
Speaker 2: say anything about anything that happened, I need everything you got.
Speaker 2: I don't care if you got a Honda need it.
Speaker 2: I don't care if you got a Nie Sign need it.
Speaker 2: I don't care what I.
Speaker 3: Promise you. I need everything.
Speaker 11: Not playing our NDA is that common though, because I
Speaker 11: feel like so many people get caught up.
Speaker 2: Artists don't. Artists don't think about it. People don't think
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 11: They're just having a good time.
Speaker 3: Man. When I first got into business, that was one
Speaker 3: of the first things I want to got.
Speaker 2: You're not playing, We ain't doing that.
Speaker 4: And the NDAs can be correct me if'm wrong, could
Speaker 4: be for parties.
Speaker 6: Protection.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is just it's just for protection because
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, like like something, I
Speaker 2: look at what we got going on as a billion
Speaker 2: dollar prize, and I never want for nobody to try
Speaker 2: to infiltrate what we got going on. So we were
Speaker 2: not to protect everything. I think like, I think of
Speaker 2: my whole I think of my whole brand at once.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm thinking about my team. So if I'm
Speaker 2: out here and out when I was out here and
Speaker 2: I was doing what I You're not finna do that.
Speaker 2: So the NDA is, y'all gotta sign them. I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't care what you're talking about. If not all right, cool,
Speaker 2: we ain't gonna link what you got some messages. Cool,
Speaker 2: you can take the messages.
Speaker 11: But you ever had someone turned out of NDA and
Speaker 11: be like, no, no mind, if I gotta sign.
Speaker 2: This, because because that's gonna make me view you different instantly.
Speaker 2: I don't even I'm and I'm being honest, I don't.
Speaker 3: Like I like regular girls.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't do the Mariahs and the strippers
Speaker 2: and porn spers.
Speaker 3: Porn stars and all that, I ain't never been in it.
Speaker 11: I like regular girls, like like not in the industry
Speaker 11: or not in the industry.
Speaker 2: I like like a regular girl who got a job
Speaker 2: working on the five. Like I like regular regular girls.
Speaker 6: Why do you like them? Do you want to just
Speaker 6: put them onto a new lifestyle or why is that?
Speaker 2: I just feel like me being with somebody that's in
Speaker 2: the entertainment business ain't gonna work. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I know how this business is for me, and to
Speaker 2: be with somebody and that's just this is just my preference.
Speaker 2: But for me to be with somebody who also was
Speaker 2: in the entertainment business, I know the light, and I
Speaker 2: know how tricky it could be and.
Speaker 3: Some things, you know, some things not all women can handle.
Speaker 2: And I don't know the pressure of the pressure of
Speaker 2: a woman being in the entertainment business while I'm in
Speaker 2: an entertainment business. And she got disc going on, and
Speaker 2: I got disc going on, and she gotta it's a
Speaker 2: certain perception you gotta have for the media. And nine
Speaker 2: times out of ten nowadays, all right, the internet is
Speaker 2: like a lot of people on the internet are coloriss.
Speaker 2: So if you not light skin or a certain color
Speaker 2: with a fat ass and nice shade and fake lives
Speaker 2: or fake titties, and they it's judgmental. So what it
Speaker 2: causes these women that look regular to want to go
Speaker 2: do is or these women that's in her entertainment business
Speaker 2: to want to go do is look like the rest
Speaker 2: of the girls. And I don't need nobody trying to
Speaker 2: look like nobody else. So I like me a regular
Speaker 2: girl working nine to five. We ain't got to worry
Speaker 2: about that. I mean, I just feel like that's the
Speaker 2: better route to go instead of getting somebody that's in
Speaker 2: the entertainment business and having them chance shift they whole
Speaker 2: perception on how they need to look, how they need.
Speaker 3: To be because everybody in their ears it does.
Speaker 6: It give you a sense of normalcy, like.
Speaker 2: And it makes me and it keep me humble, you
Speaker 2: get what I'm saying, to keep me grounded because they
Speaker 2: let me know, like like when I go home my son, mom,
Speaker 2: like I've been knowing you since high school? Like what
Speaker 2: did you talking about? You think I've been hou since
Speaker 2: high school? You're not sure?
Speaker 11: Like I know you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me take that that that rap head off.
Speaker 11: Real quick, right Obviously, Like regular women feel the pressure too, right,
Speaker 11: like women that do have regular nine to five giants.
Speaker 11: But I think what I'm hearing from you is you
Speaker 11: just want someone that's grounded. I don't necessarily know if
Speaker 11: it means you care what career she's in, but as
Speaker 11: long as she just has a ground, you gotta be grounded.
Speaker 2: But I just know, I know it all right, Like,
Speaker 2: think about this industry, right the women that's on top
Speaker 2: of the game, half from either God have them. And
Speaker 2: I don't even want to put it like this because
Speaker 2: it's a tricky topic. You feel me, you don't want
Speaker 2: the internet takes stuff and flipp it. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: that I got anything against any of the women that's
Speaker 2: in the game right now. It's just, first off, I've
Speaker 2: never even been with a girl that's in the industry,
Speaker 2: no type of industry.
Speaker 3: I ain't never even linked with one, been with one,
Speaker 3: they been in the room with one, like none of that.
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I think it's because I'm just
Speaker 2: not into the whole, Like it's just too much that
Speaker 2: it's hard to explain.
Speaker 11: You are who you are and the industry isn't changing you,
Speaker 11: so you're not attracted life.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like what I like I like, but you
Speaker 7: do you feel like that's why the Internet like flips
Speaker 7: a lot of the things that you say, because yeah, man.
Speaker 3: It's it's the world we live in. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. It's the world we live in.
Speaker 2: We live in. We live in, uh a world where
Speaker 2: it's a lot of cloud chasers and cloud is a
Speaker 2: hot commodity. That's that's the thing nowadays. See back in
Speaker 2: the day is the day it used to be about
Speaker 2: the Internet and trying to get cloud and all.
Speaker 3: You had to really know a person to know if
Speaker 3: they was doing something.
Speaker 2: I mean, nowadays, it's like you could have a following
Speaker 2: and be the lamest person in real life. Man. And
Speaker 2: it's a lot of people that's like that. I know,
Speaker 2: it's a lot of people that's like that. So it's
Speaker 2: like they they way of staying relevant is to stay
Speaker 2: negative because negativity sells. And it's like, at the end
Speaker 2: of the day, that's not what I'm here for, that's
Speaker 2: not what I'm into, that's not what I like to do.
Speaker 2: So I don't really care for the negativity. But at
Speaker 2: the end of the day, I know that's what's sailing
Speaker 2: and that's how you get your dollars. That's how you
Speaker 2: get your dollars. But it ain't gonna work for long.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 11: It's not where you are.
Speaker 10: No, that's dope.

Speaker 2: I try to. Sometimes I'll be having to have people
Speaker 2: to like help me remind stuff, like help me remember
Speaker 2: I remember.

Speaker 10: So when you see people, I don't remember you, and
Speaker 10: you can say, yo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I really don't, like I really don't some
Speaker 2: stuff I really don't remember it, and people be like, nah,
Speaker 2: you got selective memory.
Speaker 3: No I don't.
Speaker 2: I like ever since I got hit, Like I got
Speaker 2: hit by a car when I was nine, and it
Speaker 2: could have killed me, and I remember like I could
Speaker 2: I was supposed to get paid when I was eighteen,
Speaker 2: but I ain't. I ain't want to because I ended
Speaker 2: up playing baseball right after I was to get paid.
Speaker 2: I was supposed to get paid, but the problem was
Speaker 2: I ended up going to play sports right after getting
Speaker 2: hit by the car, like and I was in love
Speaker 2: with I was in love with sports.
Speaker 3: I was. My mom was mad, but I ended up
Speaker 3: like I ended up like I was in little league.
Speaker 2: Like so it went from me getting hit by a
Speaker 2: car to like maybe like a couple months later, like
Speaker 2: a month later, me signing up like I wanted to
Speaker 2: play baseball so bad, like mom signed me up for
Speaker 2: little league please cause I was like bro, I used
Speaker 2: to be nice in baseball. I was the only black
Speaker 2: kid on my baseball team for in middle school, like
Speaker 2: I could have played baseball. The baseball coach tried to
Speaker 2: get me to play for the high school team like
Speaker 2: it was, but I just I gave up everything for music.
Speaker 6: So now you get your deal, and what is that?
Speaker 6: How does your life change?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing for me was, you know,
Speaker 2: getting to it, because my life is still changing. You
Speaker 2: get what I'm saying, I'm I'm I'm just now since
Speaker 2: since probably three years ago sign it. I'm just now
Speaker 2: getting to a point where like I feel like I
Speaker 2: should have been, And I think the point where I
Speaker 2: should have been was being able to put my team
Speaker 2: in position.
Speaker 6: What's your first hit record from off the label?
Speaker 3: Love Cycle?
Speaker 2: Love Cycle? What I mean? It wasn't a hit though
Speaker 2: it was it did good emotion. Yes, double Now you're
Speaker 2: on the billboards double platinum. But I know what a
Speaker 2: hit looks like.
Speaker 6: Now, Yeah, you know what you consider this song that
Speaker 6: you have now favorite? Yeah, song that you ever had?
Speaker 2: What top five Billboard? That's like I'm looking at people
Speaker 2: accolades and I'm like, you know, I'm I'm as I'm
Speaker 2: scrolling on Twitter and I'm scrolling on the Internet. I
Speaker 2: see people tweet and say like, Yo, such and such
Speaker 2: has just reached number thirteen on the Billboard for the
Speaker 2: first time. And I'm like, thirteen that first, this your first,
Speaker 2: this day first, this person here, this day first. It's
Speaker 2: the highest they've been on Billboard. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I can't get over man. Yeah, And I'm like, okay, I.
Speaker 2: Came in at fifty two, like on Billboard. Like, and
Speaker 2: I'm talking to my label and they're like that's not regular. Okay, Well,
Speaker 2: if it's not regular, what we're doing, like what we
Speaker 2: need to be doing, because y'all telling me to come
Speaker 2: in at fifty two, it's not regular. And I'm watching
Speaker 2: all of these other songs into the Hot one hundred
Speaker 2: as well, Such and such comes in as seventy three,
Speaker 2: Such and such comes in at ninety two. I'm like, yo,
Speaker 2: we came in at fifty two, half way there were
Speaker 2: halfway there, and pushed all the way up to five,
Speaker 2: and we're still in the top ten. We at seven
Speaker 2: right now. So it's like this sixteen weeks inside of
Speaker 2: the sixteen weeks inside of the billboard Hot one hundred,
Speaker 2: about about how many weeks like probably like eight weeks
Speaker 2: inside of the top ten, you know, like we pushing
Speaker 2: and I feel like it's cool, But the biggest thing
Speaker 2: is we got to do.
Speaker 3: It again, right that follow up is hot, we gotta
Speaker 3: do it again, I think.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing, though, is the good thing
Speaker 2: is it's a standalone record. You look at the charts
Speaker 2: and all of the songs that been entering the charts,
Speaker 2: it's it's not really many standalone records. All of them
Speaker 2: got features. That's if you look at if you look
Speaker 2: at the top ten on the charts right now, favorite
Speaker 2: song is twosy favorite song, look at the rest. It's
Speaker 2: like this person, person in this person, And I'm glad
Speaker 2: because I always told myself, I said, I never want
Speaker 2: a song that I have to be shot overshadowed by.
Speaker 4: The future, the toxic version of future.
Speaker 2: Yes, his fault, Yeah, I mean shout. I didn't think
Speaker 2: he's gonna come out and go crazy like that.
Speaker 4: Did he hit you for that or did it just
Speaker 4: come out?
Speaker 2: You didn't even know? Man, listen, So he had a
Speaker 2: It was like my team, my team wanted to connect it.
Speaker 2: I was in the bank one day and my n
Speaker 2: R shout out to my n R, Chris Turner. He
Speaker 2: called me and he was like, he's like, Yo, what
Speaker 2: you think about the future on a remix for favorite song.
Speaker 2: I'm like, i mean, let's do it. We already had
Speaker 2: the relationship. I'm like, he like, I'm let's do it.
Speaker 2: He's like, all right, bet, I'm gonna call you back,
Speaker 2: coming back him?
Speaker 3: What do you call it?
Speaker 2: And it's him staying and future on the phone in future, Like, man,
Speaker 2: y'all should have put me on the origin you know,
Speaker 2: as soon as he get on the phone. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: well we're here now, you know, we got the remix.
Speaker 2: We need to remix.
Speaker 3: What's up? He sent me it the next day.
Speaker 11: You know, I think the original needed to just be you,
Speaker 11: like I think, I think not for real, like you know,
Speaker 11: I love it the future, but I think that original
Speaker 11: needed to be you and it needed to breathe for
Speaker 11: some time because I think it diversified your audience. Like
Speaker 11: Country wayn't talked about that recently when he was here,
Speaker 11: about how he doesn't curse and it allows like families
Speaker 11: to watch him together. So I'm glad you did that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I gotta and I gotta. I just gotta
Speaker 3: keep it going.
Speaker 2: It definitely opened my eyes and showed me that it's
Speaker 2: a better audience out there for me. And that's the
Speaker 2: audience we need, Like you need the audience that's gonna
Speaker 2: go buy these shirts about this merch by these hats,
Speaker 2: these digital uh these digital albums, like we need, we
Speaker 2: need the people that's gonna buy these vinyls, the wall
Speaker 2: of that, you know, so and that's the crowd that's
Speaker 2: gonna do it. So we gotta keep it clean.
Speaker 11: A lot of people feel like you get signed and
Speaker 11: then you just have all this money that it just
Speaker 11: comes easily. But I saw that you posted with your
Speaker 11: advance you bought your mama a house. Yeah, yeah, I

Speaker 2: it was like it wasn't even like no crazy house.
Speaker 2: It was like it was some not I wouldn't say

Speaker 2: I'm gonna be the biggest artist that's in the game.
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be nobody that's bigger than me, like
Speaker 2: and and everybody gonna have they run. But I like,
Speaker 2: I try to tell people, and it's hard to get
Speaker 2: people to believe you without action, like, but you got
Speaker 2: the numbers to back what you're saying.
Speaker 3: I try to.
Speaker 2: I try to tell people. I say, bro, like when
Speaker 2: you think of the artists that's in the game. When
Speaker 2: you first met me, Bro, I started off rapping. My
Speaker 2: biggest song that I got on the charts is not
Speaker 2: a rap song. I try to tell people all the time,
Speaker 2: like everybody got a lane. You know you got you
Speaker 2: got this artist that do this, this, artists that do that, this,
Speaker 2: artists that do that. When you think of two c
Speaker 2: It's like I'm on the six lane highway and I
Speaker 2: could get in whatever lane I want to. We got
Speaker 2: kaleid On on favorite song that's pop. We got Future
Speaker 2: on favorite song that's hip hop. If you listen to
Speaker 2: favorite song, it's got a little bit of country twang
Speaker 2: in it, like we could put like a Kine Brown
Speaker 2: or like a Morgan Wiland or anybody, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. But then you go listen to the album
Speaker 2: you Gotta Pull Up with twenty one Savage and you
Speaker 2: got you got the you got the interlal with Willow Win,
Speaker 2: then you got the It's like I could rapt with
Speaker 2: the best of them. But I also my my fan
Speaker 2: base is women. You get what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 2: feel like that's the biggest thing for me. Like I
Speaker 2: just it's hard to get people to believe you. So
Speaker 2: I just try to I try to leave with actually. Man.
Speaker 4: So you say your fan base is women, Yeah, I
Speaker 4: remember online they were going crazy because of your relationship status. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but they're still there. They ain't going nowhere. I do
Speaker 4: have a lot of respect for you, to utmost respect
Speaker 4: for you being a family man, being a father. I
Speaker 4: think being a father is underappreciated thing going into Father's Day. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So I want to say to you man, first and foremost,
Speaker 4: I'm proud of you for being a father and being
Speaker 4: a family man, because that's very difficult. It has its
Speaker 4: own issues. But to see the relationship in the relationship,
Speaker 4: how do you deal with your female fans and them
Speaker 4: knowing you're in a relationship because they're going to try
Speaker 4: you when they see you and I know that the man.
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing for me was I had
Speaker 2: to separate the two He used to I used to
Speaker 2: I used to broadcast my relationship a lot when we
Speaker 2: first got in it.
Speaker 3: And I had to realize that.
Speaker 4: That and angry faces in no comments, Yeah it.
Speaker 3: Was it was uh And I had to realize that.
Speaker 2: And my music is two different things, you know, Tuessy
Speaker 2: and Geors two different people. So if you listen to
Speaker 2: the album, you know it's songs. It's coming from Nagor's
Speaker 2: point of view. So it'll be songs about my love
Speaker 2: life and it's gonna be songs about what I've been through,
Speaker 2: about me being a young kid and being touched and
Speaker 2: me like it's it's it's it's a vulnerable album, but
Speaker 2: it's a vulnerable album because it's coming from your point
Speaker 2: of view.
Speaker 3: It's not it's not tousy.
Speaker 2: And I feel like, just with my relationship, I had
Speaker 2: to dial back from it from being on social media
Speaker 2: with it so much, because you know, people hate and
Speaker 2: they look for things, and at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: it's not a lifestyle that my partner asks to be.
Speaker 3: She never asked to be.
Speaker 2: Famous, you know, being that yeah, yeah, yeah, and people
Speaker 2: but people don't understand that though people try to make
Speaker 2: it seem like, oh, you think you're gonna you're not
Speaker 2: gonna post about that you're famous, What.
Speaker 10: Do you mean want to give you a personal life?
Speaker 2: And it's like, Yo, at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: it's like everybody just because I'm famous, everybody that I'm around,
Speaker 2: they asked to be famous. You get what I'm saying
Speaker 2: so for the most part, it's like, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I feel like the biggest thing I had
Speaker 2: to do with nowt back in a relationship, man on
Speaker 2: a relationship, being on the internet and keep people.
Speaker 6: Guessing are you married?
Speaker 2: No? Not yet?
Speaker 10: So how do you feel about.
Speaker 6: Your Did you propose already?
Speaker 2: Nah? Soon? Though? Yeah? Soon?
Speaker 3: I don't lie, I ain't I'm listen.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 3: I like to keep people guessing.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, what I will
Speaker 2: say is my son mom is the best, one of
Speaker 2: the best things that ever happened to me. I mean,
Speaker 2: and every day I'm learning how to be a better
Speaker 2: man for her, not for nobody else, for her and
Speaker 2: for myself.
Speaker 3: And you know, prayfully which I am.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be the man that the man of her dreams,
Speaker 2: that the man that she she needs me to be,
Speaker 2: and the man that God has desired for men.
Speaker 11: How do you allow yourself to be so vulnerable to
Speaker 11: share the stories that you're sharing, Like, I know a
Speaker 11: lot of people in our community, a lot of black
Speaker 11: men do not talk about their experiences are being touched like,
Speaker 11: they don't talk about that. So how did you free
Speaker 11: yourself to get to this place.
Speaker 2: I mean, the biggest thing for me is like, who's
Speaker 2: gonna tell them where you going? You know, when you're going,
Speaker 2: like the they it's over with. You know, It's so
Speaker 2: many things that need to be spoken while we hear
Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, you know, being
Speaker 2: vulnerable is with with Bill's character. Being vulnerable.
Speaker 3: Bill's character allowed it, Bill's integrity.
Speaker 2: It lets us know that we not alone because there's
Speaker 2: so many people in the world who go through the
Speaker 2: same things that we go through on the daily. And
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that until I got into the music
Speaker 2: industry and I started making certain songs and I've seen
Speaker 2: how people attached to him.
Speaker 1: So, speaking of being vulnerable, what do you say to
Speaker 1: these people questioning your sexuality online?
Speaker 2: Man? Honestly, I'm I'm gonna keep it a hundred. It
Speaker 2: don't really bother me. I think I feel like, I
Speaker 2: think the biggest thing that bothered me is when people
Speaker 2: play with me. And I would never let nobody play
Speaker 2: with me while my son is around, or I never
Speaker 2: let nobody play with me while my son is even
Speaker 2: just like if I feel like it got something to do,
Speaker 2: like I'm so even the post with the where I
Speaker 2: was dressed up like the cowboy for and I had
Speaker 2: my son in my hand. It was just a picture
Speaker 2: of me. It's like, all right, cool, but you're playing
Speaker 2: with somebody.
Speaker 3: Father.
Speaker 2: My son got to get on the internet one of
Speaker 2: these days, and the internet is forever. He got to
Speaker 2: see this, And I got no problem with the LGBTQ community,
Speaker 2: y'all done. You could go on many interviews and see
Speaker 2: me say it. I love everybody, everybody. I don't judge nobody, black, blue, purple, white, orange, big, small, tall, little,
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't care about none of that.
Speaker 2: At the end of the day. Though, what I what
Speaker 2: I believe is calling somebody gay is not an insult.
Speaker 2: People try to People try to use it as an insult,
Speaker 2: but it's what it's. It's people's sexuality, and whatever somebody's
Speaker 2: sexuality is is not an insult. So don't try to
Speaker 2: throw it out a black man to down him because
Speaker 2: you feel like that's gonna It's not gonna that's not
Speaker 2: gonna bring me down. What bring me down is the
Speaker 2: fact that you're trying to use it as an insult
Speaker 2: while I got my son in my hand, and knowing
Speaker 2: that one of these days he gonna have to get
Speaker 2: on the internet and see this, and I don't want
Speaker 2: I don't need nothing being misled, like, oh dad, is
Speaker 2: this wrong? Like is it? Nah?
Speaker 3: It's not wrong.
Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, like you got
Speaker 2: some people who like man, you got some people who
Speaker 2: like me son, and that's how it is. But we
Speaker 2: ain't finna do that with my son in my hand,
Speaker 2: like we ain't finna because one of these days, though,
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to get on this intern of to
Speaker 2: see this. So it's not no insult to be I
Speaker 2: don't like how people try to use it as an insol.
Speaker 2: Is he just trying to get a response out of you?
Speaker 2: They was, but they I think, see see, people find
Speaker 2: my weakness, and my weakness is my son. So anytime
Speaker 2: they like, they're gonna try to throw through like look
Speaker 2: like now, don't play with they don't talk about my son,
Speaker 2: but my weakness is like them them trying to like,
Speaker 2: you know, my son, I don't play about my son.
Speaker 11: They trying to find the loopholes.
Speaker 3: And then you got this and.
