What's up his lip service. I'm Angela Yee, I'm Gi McGuire, I'm Stephanie Santiago, I'm Laura Moura Stephanie's bag. Everybody's like, where the hell is Stephanie? Welcome back? Thanks. I just wanted to point it out because people always say where is Stephanie? So? Yeah, no, I was just going through some things, through some life changes. Okay, I need a little break. Alright, Well our mind, this is your second time you're back to thank you? Back up? No, backup?
How you got your promise? Bring on? Yeah, you can say yeah, but no, first all I don't know why. Okay, all right, that's nice matching. Y'all got each other nice gifts. Yeah. Is it like a company, you know, how you try to one up somebody likes when you date somebody and it's your birthday first, and you're like, let me see what's about to happen, right, so I can see what type of level I need to respond on? Yeah, I
think that's yeah. I think I was kind of like, because I she come, I was like, yeah, I can't even come no softer than she come hard? Averaingle time? Right? You think women are better gift givers usually, um, I think so. I think man is kind of well, the right man to be more like um, more affectionate. But I think women are more like thoughtful when it comes to giving. You know what do you think too? I
absolutely think so. It's always the thought that counts, and I think we pay a little bit more attention to detail, and I think we remember more. So you might have mentioned something months down the line and will make a mental note like okay, Valentine's Day coming up, or I like that, you know. And so yeah, I think women definitely, but um, men are good gift givers. It depends on some good gifts. Me. Yeah, I was and said everything. Yeah, I was gonna say, I think men are much better
gift givers. I give every man the same thing, YEA, like a nice neighbor. Yeah, especially when you have a man like that. It's like what can you get somebody that has every everything in the fact that when you know that you're thoughtful and you observe things and you know, okay, you got this. But I think this would be easier because of that. So, yeah, women are more thoughtful, but
guys usually spend more. I feel they're going way better gifts from the most expensive gifts aren't necessarily the best when exactly like that's true, that's true because he could get any girl expensive gift when you think about what you get is what meaning got me? Is the meaning behind Yeah, and there's there's been a gift that just maybe a card or something that I've held more to my heart than a watch or a person. You know,
like I think, of course, I don't know. Well, yeah, you're right, whatever, Yeah, I agree with like, you know, guys do get the more expensive gifts because I think I don't know why. It depends to the women that you're with. Some women prefer expensive gifts, some women prefer more thoughtful gifts. It just depends the person you're with and the type of it depends on how long you've
been with them. Okay, so let's say you're dating somebody right and their birthday is coming up in two weeks, but you just started dating, Yeah, what do you do, Like, what type of present do you get somebody that early when it's their birthday for the girl or for the guy for a girl, and then we'll talk about for the guy, But what's appropriate like super early on somebody you like and you need tolet you're gonna get a wallet, no matter what, man, really, men really appreciate you a
wallet if you are doing it too. Um no, a better wallet right for like an hour wallet. And now now man, first, now that you look, you start with you start with credit holder, you start and even the place also upgrades the a foldable one. The wallet. Yeah, their purses now they got like you knows got like guy's got your first. You know that that's out a guy. You see you get a briefcase and get a bad you get you get there trying to treatment getting man,
you're getting lugging. What's Yeah, what's the garment bag? You know? Government? I know bag? Um no, no, I'm not the garment bag and SWR bag. That's that's what the passport hold. Yeah you know what I mean. But I'm gonna tell my girl now, baby, I love your gifts. Don't get me the bags. I like the gift. I need a wallet. I don't have one. No, I'm telling you it's really very beautiful diamond bracelet. Like oh no, no, it's not my first one. One of you've been together six months.
But she like like like you'all were saying, I don't. She didn't come out giving me. She came out and gave me like a hat. What I'm saying, what type of hat? Okay? Yeah, So she was like, how did you feel when she gave that to you? Oh, that's a great question. That's a great question. I felt like that's a good idea. Yeah, inspired, I was, Yeah, I feel like sometimes even used to getting gifts like that. Yeah, like I just didn't. I wasn't expecting her to get
me a gift. That's it wasn't no occasion. It was just thinking of you. I saw this. I think she didn't have to. She was out. It wasn't like we were like serious serious, he was like we were still in that frand stage and she was like, yeah, got you a gift. I'm like what she was doing the reverse um but the ecology. I get you this and then you got a one up me. She was laying out there, she was laying out, she tipped over. She gets everybody a jewelry box for their watches with their
like name and every guy her friend. Yeah. Yeah, so she does that and then they always get her like a better gift. But that's her gift. What's the worst gift? You ever got, Like thinking back ever, um, probably nothing. Well, and that feels like again, when you're expecting a gift and you get the person a gift and then they don't get you anything in return, it's like, well damn, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
I have a story about that when years ago I had a very cool those friend and I guess he thought that we were a little more involved than what we were and for Christmas, he got me a gift and I guess he was expecting one in return, and I didn't. I felt bad, but it's like I feel like he was expecting, like looking at our situation differently than I was, Like I didn't think that. What did you? Did you acknowledge it or did you not say anything?
I didn't say anything at the time. It was a really long time ago, but I just I wasn't expecting a gift. That's what you should have went online him a gift and when we saw each other and he's like, I got you a gift, and I'm like, oh, things like and I felt Ruth, Chris how didn't have anything? I mean, I've given gifts and not expect It was just like that, like it was like a thoughtful thing.
It was like, yeah, even when we went plenty of ever like them the garment bag, like his bag looked so uncomfortable and I was just happy to be and there was nothing expense. I was on Amazon and I saw a really dope garment bag and I'm like, oh, this would be cooler. Let me get this. And I got that, and I like, yeah, I'm not a spect
than anything. It's just if you know, seeing his his expression when he got it, like oh ship, like you really thought, you know, I think it's nice to get guys things that they wouldn't get themselves, like you know, like, so, how would you feel if you got somebody a gift and they gave it to somebody else? Oh re gifting? Or how would you feel if you've got somebody a gift and they just kept it but like never used it. Well, that's bad gift given. Yeah what if they exchanged it,
that's still bad gift given. But if they were honest, Like because my friend Jasmine, she brought me a gift and I love it, but she was like, if you don't like it, it's okay, here's the receipt, go exchange it. And I didn't. I really like it, but I wouldn't be wrong to do that. And then he only got me a present one time for helping him do a deal, and I exchanged it. Yeah that's what And I said. I came in, I had on the Louis Vutton coo. I said, thank you for this coat that bag that
you and gig on me. I switched it out and got something I like better, because when don't you want somebody to go like yeah, yeah, And that's the thing, like maybe shoes for like my girl. But like if anything I heard style is I'll probably be like yo, you know what I'm saying. Here certificate and he just never used it. You would never know they like I still sitting there on keeping with me everywhere I go,
but I've just never used it. Well if it's well, it's not really weird because if they if they keep it on him, then it must mean something. That's what I'm saying. What I'm saying, let's talk about it, because you tell me said it was a um. It was a gift certificate to the spot at the Four Seasons and I gave it to him for his birthday and he just never used it. Can get it? He would
go get massages at like other places. But he was like, I'm a like make an appointment and make it like a whole day, and like really like do it when I really need to feel like I want to do that, and he just, I mean we broke up, so it don't matter because we didn't take it back when I never used it. He's not he didn't know because it's the best spar and the like. He just wasn't the Atlanta but still like but and it was enough to
get like the best massage plus a great tip. You know, everything he had to do was making a pointment a show up. Now, how would you film why? I don't know how to get it back? Because I get I would love that. Well, hopefully he eventually uses it, because I was very proud of that gifted. Is this wrong if you gift a woman lingerie and she uses it with someone else, Yes, that's wrong. You know that's what
What if she uses in our only fans? Yeah, you know, and she uses it only only fans, That's what I'm saying. Are we talking about only fans when it's just only her and her? Yes, yes, only her and her fans. I mean, listen, y'all ain't. I ain't talk to nobody that's doing that. But if I was to do that, yeah,
that's better than Yeah. I feel like it's the gift that keeps on giving because very cute linge that you got her on only fans and she sells umpteen amount of private videos and let's just say a hundred dollars a piece, right, then it's the gift that keeps on getting because now she's making money and she could wear it for you and he'll be like, hey, this is then you hadn't only fits no, because you're block. I think it wants something fresh, Like you are you supposed
to wear the same lingerie over and over again? No, Once you wear it once, it's over, like every week. I'm like, that's it. Yeah, unless I've seen already, like pajamas. But like the nice Lingerirace said that you might have bought for like Valentine's Day night, like, you're not gonna run that back, it's probably you know what I mean? Now I want to talk about something else. Can we
talk about titles and labels? Right? Because way back y'all had this song no strings, and now it is like titles and some people feel like once you put a title on something, it changes things. Or you know, I've heard guys be like, leok, I just wanted to do what we're doing. Let's not call it anything. Let's just you know, see how it goes. When is it time to say, let's put a title on it, let's put a label on it. It doesn't matter to you, Uh, I feel like it's time. When you when you feel
like it's time, and of course it matters. Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna just be honest. If I wasn't the guy was and I was talking to a female in I feel like I tell her, let's just keep doing what we're doing. Obviously I'm doing something else. You get what I'm saying. I'm just being honest. Like, if I'm saying, let's keep doing what we're doing, then stop. Yeah, exactly, it's not because I'm telling you all, like a man gonna know what he wants exactly. You know what I'm saying.
So if he's saying let's just keep doing we doing, that's when you know, I feel like the question what this? What? What? What motherfucker's doing? You know what I'm saying, Because if this is what we're doing, then I'm saying, what we're doing? What's up? Just yeah, what's up? So? Yeah, so when you decided to lock it in to resonate, what was that conversation like? And like who brought it up first? Who said, okay, what are we? We got to be official?
Because at first it was more like you're just having fun trying to figure it out. When did that switch? Um? At first we were friends, uh me and her maid, sure that we was, you know, ready to be a couple, but we was friends about like a couple of months before we even like really you know, said okay, yeah and got even like you know, did anything sexually or even before I even kissed him? You know what I'm saying. Did you know immediately that you wanted it to go there?
Like even when you're with just fans, because you know how gas to be like even things. But did you know like like I'm working towards something. Yeah, man, like see me like like me like I'm gonna lock it in like if I don't want you know what I'm saying, Like I'm just that type of guy like if I don't want it, like I don't want it, you know I'm saying, if I wanted to lock it in. So I just kind of seen that she was who I wanted like and then just her whole level, her her
mindset like that, you know what I'm saying. After a couple of months, they were just naturally, like you know what I'm saying, We just you know, I feel like, I don't know, I feel like, you know, but what was it that about her that made you be like, this is somebody I want to pursue, Like what was because it always interests me to know, like what was the initial Like okay, because you meet a lot of women, you know, since you were young, and so what makes
you decide like this is different? Her mind set? I always say, just her whole demeanor, you know, the way she carry herself, the way she thinks. I feel like I'm I'm a little different, like you know what I'm saying. So I feel like the way she think carry herself, she kind of like, you know, just my speed. She seems very fun Yeah, I love y'allah Halloween. That ship was self funny. So you don't believe in wasting what
a woman's time. If you're not interested and you don't see nothing, you're not even gonna I feel like that's very general for self. I mean, it ain't nothing really to it, like like that's doing out, you know what I'm saying. And I kind of like, like you say, she's fun, she's fun to be around, and she motivated me, she supports me, understands what you do for a living, and she's gonna ride for you. You know that. But that's a lot of pressure that relationship too. Yeah, you
can't sunk up. Yeah, man, you know you can't. You can't have a bad Like if I have a bad day here or if i have a bad day in New York and I'll tweet something, they could think it's something like, yo, I have a whole life, Like you know what I'm saying, so and anything. Right, if they blaming it on the relations what I'm saying, that's crazy to me, you know what I'm saying. So right? But the foundation that I feel like me and Hurt built, you know, I feel like it's solid. I think it's
parallel because you've built a lot of foundations. Even thinking about how your career has um just progressed from when you and Trade first started out just doing the videos, the vines, the covers to doing an EP to doing original music, you know, and like all of that. It is amazing to see because some people could fall into the he's just known for being a media a social media personality and then that's it and doing these cover songs. But now it seems like labels are trying to sign you.
What is going on? Yeah, the talent is there and it's undeniable. Yeah, it was just you know, I honestly, man, I wasn't like a little just the time in my life. It was a little period where you know, I was trying to figure it out just with music. Um, you know, getting back in the groove, like you say, before I even did anything, and that was that played a kind
of a major role. And you know, just my train of thought, you know, that type of thought about me, like oh well he just is so because like before any of the social media thing, I was doing music, you know what I'm saying. So I feel like that kind of got in the way. But you know, how to just get my my mentor right? How did you get your mental right? You could smoke ahead? How I
got my mentor right? Man? I was more so figuring out myself for like a couple of months and then Um, like I said, I met my girlfriend and I feel like her talk. You know what I'm saying. I was talking to her about different things before we got together, when we was friends. So, um, I don't know, man, Like your network has a lot to do with your your levelness. Like you're very family oriented. You come from a big family. Your mom is very involved in everything
that you do and in your life and everything. And you have a great team and support behind you. So just from the outside looking in and on you on the level that I do, I feel like that also would play a role in you know, getting you kind of where you are and keeping you focused on career driven as well, because you got it in you and you know you got it in you, right My mom definitely, My mom definitely played a role, like she always gonna play a role. And um, you know of course what
I do. My brother also he support me even though we don't do the same. You know, he called me, bro, you need to drop this video. You know what I'm saying. You don't let up, you know, just different things like that. Of course, my daughter, my girl, like you know, I got I got a support system. So doing the solo music, Now, what made you decide is you our mind and not our mind and trade you know life. You know, we're twenty five now. I don't know if you remember Angeli,
but I met you when I was like sixteen seventeen. Mark, you guys go way back. Yeah, I don't think you. I don't I don't think you remember. Yeah, Peanut, Yeah, so it was like I remembering that. It's like that man in Detroit by the way, if y'all don't know, Yeah, yeah, yeah that's what. Are they doing a show about him or something? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he got a show coming up right now. He put his hands in like a couple of the shows that's out now, so he
not got a lot going on, but go ahead. Yeah, but Peanut, I tell everybody who Peanut is if they're listening, because I know people from Detroit now. But yeah, put yeah, the studio, I know a lot of Yeah, Peanut, it's my pope. They probably did what my people probably did. They recharched on him because I put them in a couple of YouTube videos and just different things like that. But here, you know, he a stand up guy in
the city. He also one of the people that I talked to just to help me keep my mind on. You know what I'm saying straight, but you know, not to get into that, you know. But the reason why I rock with my dad so much because because my dad I like twelve wives, you know what I'm saying, and he don't. He don't push that, you know, on me to be that type of you know what I'm saying, that type of guy, Like, how is that for you from your point of view? That how was that even
growing up? Well? Um, yeah, yeah for real. So UM, to be honest with you, I respect my pops honestly because you know, Um, I really don't see how you do it, but you do it, you know, And that's the thing he I I don't know. Maybe it's a lot for me. That's why I'm a man. I got me one, keep me one, you know what I'm saying. But just to traveling back and forth, you know what I'm saying, And did you ever look like how did
your mom handle that? Because that's not easy. I don't care anybody what I mean, like for you growing up and with their like no, my mom is an independent woman now, I know that, But I'm saying, how did she handle that? Because sometimes that isn't easy because I mean, look at Nick Cannon. He and he'll tell you he can't be there all the time, you know, for all of the women, no matter how much you try. No. So, UM, that's something that I'm that that we're gonna talk about. Okay,
we'll talk about that. We'll talk about that on a on a on a H came the time inside, but definitely I can let you all in on that. Yeah, we respect that. He don't let me ask you did the way your your father's relationships with women, and did it affect the way you treat women? No, only because that's why, you know, I go back to saying I respect my dad so much because you know, I feel like, you know what I do. I feel like I'm a alpha male, but also in his own right, I felt
like he treated his women great. You see what I'm saying. Um, I'm not saying that you would be down to be with for three other women in a relationship, but I feel like if you all did that, then you're happy. Then you're happy. Yeah, they worked off whatever they worked out that they might be video of women fighting no man something on YouTube. Now it's so crazy because it's like I could really you know, like I could really
vouch for that, like it ain't that. And that's why I say I respect my pops because you know it to be twelve women plus other ten girlfriends, it's respect. Yeah, let me Detroy have any reservations about that, because you had to look at it and be like ship, but don't far too far from yeah, because you know sometimes said question because you look I feel like um from what we were from we were talking about your girlfriend earlier, she kind of friend zoned you in the beginning, you
know what I mean. I hit her on and you were okay with this starting out there? All right, you want to friends on me right now, I'm gonna get you like That's how I felt, like, No, no, no, no, I ain't getting friends zee, I'm not really in I take pride in that, like I'm not hitting you up unless you know what I'm saying. I hit Sae, yeah exactly. I hit up regen A, and I'm like, yo, you know on some cool stuff. You know what I'm saying.
And she even told me, you know, she was looking like yo, I think he liked me, Like I think you know what I'm saying. Like that's where she could in the beginning, and then I'm like exactly, I'm more so like, yeah, like you was giving you know how guys do let you know, that'd be cool, But I just want to put it out there. I do like you business relationship now, you know, I'm not like that's
what I mean. I'm so straightforward, like That's why I like her so much, because you know, it wasn't straight off the back like that, you know what I'm saying, Like I feel like, you know, of course it's like damn, she's beautiful and she's like Okay, he's handsome, but you know, now you're going on vacations and stuff like that is not only just a vacation but family that I was gonna say, how was it with Wayne? Like meeting Wayne and just how was that? Um, yeah, that's my girlfriend, dads.
She you know, she's a little different with it, but she's like, you know, she wake me up. I'm in the bed. He's like, yeah, like come on, Like my dad he's you know, he's waiting on this. So I'm like, oh, something like like this is what I mean. You know, this is what I mean about. You know, I took my time to actually like her because I forget right, it's yeah. So by the time I get in the car, I damn never remember now like her dad, I'm gonna say it was just to wake up, was like, okay,

I think I really like Wayne man. I think he um, I think, well, he actually texts us, you know what I'm saying, He texts her, He check up on us. You know. Um, I like Wayne man Like. I feel like from even from me meeting him, Like I don't know, man like, even even like if I was dating, you know, a regular, it
wasn't who he is. Yeah, even if he like, I just feel like, you know, I respected somebody's I always want to present myself in a respectable manner, you know what I'm saying. No, man, I wasn't. I would never see me anybody's parents. I wasn't nervous because like, this is not a facade. Like what if he tested you, it was like see what you're smoking now?

Well, yeah, but you might be like sleep and then you wake up get it in and I got to look down and up and down. Damn what name's crazy that you all are saying this weird stuff, because that is ship that I take off. Take it off exactly like line. It puts you with the line of get a headache? You
trying to do that? What do you remember the first time that like after y'all were friends, that you finally got to spend the night together. You know how that felt? Did it feel like naturally good? Like I'm home? Yeah, because prior you know what I'm saying, I will come over her house and I respect it. You know what I'm saying, go home. You know what I'm saying, take your shoes off when you walk in. Exactly. Not. I wasn't trying to stay over the house two three four.
It's just I wasn't overdoing it at all. You know what I'm saying, Like, I get to our house and I leave a respect a time. You know what I'm saying, young man? Yeah, like I like it.

Well, actually, when I when I first kissed her on her forehead, kissing and likely kissed me and she loved you right there?
Keep going. So when did you guys decide okay, like, what was the conversation before you were able to be like, yes, we are together because there was speculation, efforts, people were like espection, they didn't like it was a thing, and then you were finally like thing to get right? What was that like? Okay, if I have a conversation like all right, so you know we can't keep it, keep on hunting with the people because clearly they paying attention,
doing a lot. Yeah. So know when somethime when you fall in love, you want to be proud. Yeah, of course. I feel like it was just the moment, you know what I'm saying, Like, I feel like the reason where everything went the way it went is because we took
the time, you know what I'm saying. I feel like it was never really a point of time where I feel like it was too much or too fast, because like I told you all, it was a lot of steps we took to even get to them, even knowing on the social media platform, I wouldn't gonna I'm I'm just I'm not into I'm really not into doing the same thing over and over again. Like you know what I'm saying, I don't waste my time. I just I was talking to Regenate, but I knew, you know, and
honestly and the same thing for her. If I didn't meet her qualification that she was looking for at the time, it wouldn't be this, you get what I'm saying, and vice versa. So I just knew what I wanted and having a success for co parenting relationship too. Did you feel like, Okay, I gotta let you know first before the blogs put it out? Is that is that something
you think about? Um? What you mean by that? Did you feel like, Okay, let me go tell my daughter's mother first so that at least it's not like a shock when it comes out. Or did you just say I don't have to know. Man, a question. That's a great question. But you know, my daughter and my baby's mother, that's you know, my kids where I don't feel like I have to talk to you about my next relationship.
You know what I'm saying, Like, yeah, that's not something that I have to be like, Hey, you know, I'm talking at like what because you guys were super broken. That's disrespectful to my like you feel that, I just feel like because I mean, if you feel like you could, you need to go tell your X that you're talking to me and you must ain't talking to him. Check it in Like. It depends on how your relationship is though, because some people might do be like that, like peop sir.
You know, like when you it's some when you have I feel like excess when you have a child. It goes either way. But it's okay if you're still fronts you know what I mean, you still have a relationship, like you move on and then you might be like, okay, it's about to take the blogs, but just giving your heads up first. I don't know. It depending a relationship. I get what you're saying. It depends what type of relationship. So basically, if you guys aren't really really friends like that,
you don't be in each other's business. You don't expect her to tell you who she's say unless you're gonna have your child around someone else. I would think I let them know that. That's what I was. That's different because that might when you decide somebody's going to be your girlfriend and then your daughter's gonna be around someone. I think respect wise you would want the same thing. I don't know because I don't have any kids. Yeah,
you would definitely. That's hart that you introduced them like it's like you know, and that I understand. That's a bit that's that makes more sense, and that definitely makes
more sense to be just. But as far as you being like, you know what I'm talking to something like now, if you're saying, you know, this person is going to be around our kids, they're going to Yeah, that's a conversation because you don't bring everybody right, Okay, but if you're about to have a girl, yeah, you would expect even if you don't really get along with your child's other parents, I don't know. That's how when people don't
get along, you're not telling little body ship. Yeah, growing up, you know with our parents and you know, yeah, I don't feel like even me, me and my son's father we get along. Greade, and I got to check in. In the beginning, it was rough, Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I think in the beginning, but then as times these things usually get better and still that we're friends I don't feel like I gotta check in with him and be like, hey, UM, just so let you know I'm dating X y Z like that disrespectful to feel like yourself into your next relations and he doesn't have to do that for me. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I don't know. That's what I'm asking because sometimes things hit the blocks and you might want to give someone a heads up
just before. I don't know, but I guess not. Did you get any ship from your very mom want to hit the block? Did he call you? Like? But did you get any any problems from didn't get any problems? Hit the blocks? Probably they had a clear understanding we're not together. They don't care. And it's just like I said, I feel like it or has something to do with the type of man that you are as well. I feel like I didn't. I never played them type of games,
like you know what I'm saying. Even still to this day, I feel like someone can feel the way they feel, but they know, you know what I'm saying, what I was to them and how it happened. So you can't even go and do all that extra stuff you may want to. But when it hit the like you know, you know so I feel like, you know, like I'm
kind of I didn't. I ain't never ain't it ain't no smoke about yeah, hold it down once about Yes, I really I don't really want to say it was about Regina, but it was about my feeling towards Resonab. I want to well, I just feel like yeah, and it was just it was more so like that's what I mean my music. I don't feel like I want people to think my music is about Regina or my relationship, but it's definitely the feeling I get in my relationship. It can be your feeling that you got at one
point in time. It could be the feeling that you experience and now you know, I kind of I don't. It's not about a specific person. It's more about a specific feeling, the feeling the person is giving exactly. You might feel something else and write another song more they say I'm gonna hold it down and keep it be to the morning, and you holding it down maybe something different. You may be talking about your kids, you see what I'm saying. You may feel it in a different way,
like you know, I rock with this. I could be talking about my girl, or you could be talking about your homeboard relationship and your perspective on their relations Actually, you know, I like that you are you saying that you put your feelings into your music. It's like that's from your your soul. Yeah. I think sometimes it helps people relate to music too, when we can know what's going on in your personal life and feel like, oh,
that's what this is about. And I don't think that's a bad thing because I do also look at you as like a person who people know you from sharing you know, so sometimes that helps people like you and Queen naj are close and we know her from watching like what happens in her relationships. So then when she writes certain songs, you like, we know what that's about.
I think that's a good thing because, yeah, because sometimes it just makes things more relatable, Like you'd be like, I love the fact that our mind is feeling like this now and you know, since you find now because people's music changed based on what their situations are, but you know what's going on in the real life, you can like, you know, certain like some of our favorite
albums come from people's pain. This person broke up and we got to watch this, or this person fell in love and we're like, I remember they wrote this song and they was going through this, and I think that's a positive thing because that's what we relate to. I'm not gonna lie to us your Confession even though that
ship went about right, it was about Jamaica. Yeah, but it was like, yeah, everybody speculated free Story, everybody did speculated right, and this is what he was going with Chili, right, it was expected. It was a great song and a great album. But you're today years old when you learned that that was Jamine dupri story Confessions, what's about pregnant? Right? Yeah, he got a dance, it was about Jenny a strip
of booty, and that's when he was your Janet. Yeah, yeah, because honestly, I don't think I really thought had something to do with you. Do y'all not know the hard art? Y'all are telling the people something wor yeah, well you'll didn't but R and B like it was kind of you. You probably don't even know. That's all. No one. I remember when I wasn't watching Yeah New York twenty five when you when the Confessions, I was four, Yeah, I was probably the How long ago was that four? You
was not twenty five? Thirty eight now twenty. She was like I was forty two and I was twenty five and two thousand. I was really young when yeah is you were not young and you were like I was a big yeah yeah at the time. Imagine your mind being eight, Like you know, Jamine do pretty good. I was definitely eight talking about tillion. Yeah, but you didn't know what that You know that I don't hard. I don't do that because or people in the house was
saying that. The people in the house, I thought, I'm gonna go back exactly. I'm like, damn cheated on it. That's the one I used to be with. Oh he w. Now, congratulations on one hour past midnight too. By the way, number one, it went number eleven, number eleven working you go the whole army, they're not they don't depend So it's gonna take a little bit longer to get to that. Are you gonna stay independent? Because I know everybody's like
on it now, so what? Um, I got a couple of labels right now that I'm meeting with this week as well to you know what I'm saying, just probably see what's out there. But definitely, um, I feel like, you know, I got myself to this point. So you know, if it's something in front of me that helped me out with the right terms, and then I'll do that. But you know we're working either way. I'm all good.
Who do you turn to when it comes to like advice about business, you know, in the music industry, because clearly you have your dad, you have Regenade, you have your mom, Like, who do you go to that's like, Okay, this is what we're gonna do or um when it comes to the business man, Honestly, if you really want me to be honest with you, we do. This is
no like fabricating. I talked to God, yes, honestly, Like no, that's just no, like no exaggeration, Like I feel like the reason why listening to you know, that's not even that's facts. I feel like I get up every morning at six, you know, you know serious, and your lawyer and you'll be lawyer like you do, talk to your lawyer. Everything's gonna be good. Now go call the lawyer. So just make sure we got you know just that. I
feel like I'm real, yeah, man. And when it comes to when our past midnight and made me think about like when it comes to relationships. We think about other insecurities we have as women, but for you as a man, like, what insecurities do you have when it comes to you trying to protect yourself and not get hurt and experiences that you've had in the past. Hm, that's a great question. Um,
I'm gonna be honest with you, man. I try to stay like, um, I wanted the people that like I get mad, very frustrated, and very like mad about stuff that I can't control, you know what I'm saying. So I'm just trying to learn how to keep a clear head, you know what I'm saying, because that's really one of my biggest things. I feel like I be feeling like I got so much reach and if I can't reach it,
then it's a problem, you know. So to answer that question, I just try to keep it a clear head of it all because we can't control other things, but we can't control how we react, yeah, to what's going on and how we move forward. My therapist tells me you are not responsible for other people's feeling, thought, emotions, or actions. You're the only responsible for your Yeah, that's great about it.
That's great advice because you know, like me, I kind of like I say, I talked to guy, so I kind of like to do you know, a lot of stuff within me, you know what I'm saying, Like within myself, meaning like I'm by myself, you know what I'm saying, Not really by myself, but like I kind of like to just do it by myself, you know what I'm saying. That way, I just think you know, y'all get what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I really get mad at things that I can't control. How is it for you now then?
Being like just our mind? Right, I feel like it's I can control, you know what I'm saying, more in control. More in control of course, if you and you don't like right now, right if I was to flip this this bottle right and your everybody's looking at me and it's like, no, he's not going to do it. He's not going to do that, you know what I'm saying, And I'm like, no, I'm gonna do it, and like they shut down the place and tell me all you
gotta come back tomorrow. I would literally lose their facts because I have to flip this bottle before we leave here, you see what I'm saying, Like just because I heard like, oh you can't, like it just killed me, you know, and then it's like we got like but yeah, no, I get what you're saying. Yeah, you're a Gemini headed. Yeah you have, and you're very like and driven you. I can't tell me I can't do it. Yeah, I'm gonna now, I'm really gonna do it, and I'm gonna go.
Can't You just can't tell them no. They don't don't do afterthing for you. But once you tell them no, they cut your hat off. Yeah, like you you set your mind to something, you're gonna go. You're gonna yea right now hard and I would hate, like hate to hear tomorrow we'll try again. It's like, no, I'm going to try it so I get it right Like he don't tell me that, Like I'm telling you all that makes my blood boil. Try or you can try again or try. No, we're gonna do it now. It's gonna
get done the right way right now. But we leave out of here is we're gonna be you know, So how is that like give us an example in real life termination? Like how that's happened and you know, like give us a real life example or something that you did that. She was like, yeah, I feel like just my mind set with my music career, like I feel like, you know, um, it took me a minute. You know.
My brother was going through things and he dropped, you know, and I was just still in a place where I was trying to figure it out, you know what I'm saying, just going through it, and like I just can't hear even in my head, like yo, it's like I'm like, hell, no, there's no way, like I can sit here and just you know what I'm saying, or I can hear someone
tell me. You know, well maybe you could just like no, it's no maybe to nothing, you know, like and then yeah, like it's like it's like I worked hard for that, not taking that, and that's what I'm getting that, Like, yo, I really put, you know, my life into this, Like yeah, it's like I don't really take nothing as hell, but it's like, man, like listen, I just never been the
type to like stop. You know. I'm speaking more so in a sense of like me getting in the studio, me being motivated to sing, you know, like I was going to do different things in my life, you know, to where I felt like I just didn't want to or I felt like I couldn't get up and do it, like I'm like, well, no, let me do you know?
And it was, you know, my brother was telling me as well, like no, bro, like you yeah, like bro, you like you have to do it, like I don't know, you know, but he don't know me for being that as well. So you know, even when it was like a depression period, I feel like and that's what's so crazy because I told myself, I'm like, yo, I don't know like if I could ever, but I honestly feel like that point in my life because I was in
the bed too. Yeah, that's that sounds like a period of Yeah, when you don't feel like you can do something and no matter what somebody tells you, you're just like that's when you can't get out of bed. That's really a sign. That's crazy because I used to always be like yo, I don't know how like you know, but I know for sure, you know that that feeling that I felt it didn't feel good like I was
in the bed. I was you know, my brother would text me, and you know, since you guys are brothers, if one has more success than the other, it's gonna work for everybody because you're gonna take care of each other. And you know, sometimes when you're in a group, you always got look to the other person before you can make a decision. And a person who's a sourist, an independent person like asaurist, that might really take a toll
on you, you know. And I just feel like it was that time, you know what I'm saying because even when you know, when I was going to the studio with my brother, you know, he was going through his things as well, um, you know, his life lessons and stuff. But it was a lot he had to say, and at that point in time, I wasn't speaking on you know, like I wasn't in that time frame of my life,
Like I wasn't going through that. So by him, you know, doing that, I was like the song that he put out, I was like, you know, when he started saying, you know we're gonna do I'm like, Yo, that's great, Like because honestly, bro, I want you to get it out. You know, music is art and that's his way of
expression itself. You know, my brother don't like to do the vlogs and he's strictly music and his business, so um, you know, I just felt like that was pointed our time where we got older and life kind of made that adjustment. You know what I'm saying. It's like he's feeling one thing and you're not really feeling like that. It's like or like or you got to agree with it because y'all team, y'all group. So yeah, and like I said, he that's a grown man, you know what
I'm saying. Like, and no matter what, y'all will always have each other, That's what I'm saying. If not get along for periods of time, one of y'all go nowhere, that's your bro. Yeah. You know, I remember when you guys did lip Service together and Sean Garrett. Did y'all ever get in the studio with Shan? Yeah? Yeah, Yeah, we worked with Sean Garrett. Yeah, we worked with Yeah,
we had did like a record or two with him publishing. Yeah, I appreciate him that we threw y'all was like, I need to get y'all in the Yeah, he was not playing now. Yeah, he caught us up and we worked. So I'm glad because that was like, yeah, that was that was a steal, a great episode. We're really a couple of episodes in Atlanta with you, and then we did County Way. Yeah, you know, right after that here we had a good time that day. Now let's get
to this promised ring situation. I didn't see why that was a big deal. I thought it was a nice gift. It's a ring, it's a promise rais. When I was younger, I remember getting like a promised ring, and I thought it was amazing. I think it was very time and age appropriate, you know, for you, for you too as a couple. She loved it. She definitely did that bother you at all. When people were not reaction gonna be trolls.
I just couldn't understand that when people aren't happy with strangers and what their lives are is because they're not happy with themselves exactly and what they really got going on, right these single people were or even be as happy as they said, nothing to get it for six months. You said at the six months, okay, what the hell? And this is but but but but I really want to express this to you know, the young the young men, bro Like, there is nothing weak at all about showing
the woman you love love. There's nothing weak about like I don't understand I don't get this narrative y'all run with or how y'all what it is. But there's nothing weak about it, you know what I'm saying, Like I feel like what makes stuff look weak? It's one of man say he gives loyalty to a woman that he sleep with every night, but che don't. I'm just going to behind weakness. But you can look at me and tell me that you're a weak because you are a lawyer dead, or you can look at me and say
I can trust you. Oh you can trust me, gang, you can trust me. But bro, I watch you. That's the girl that you that you're saying the same ship too, and you actually with her. This is your girl. So I just I just yeah, man, I really I really don't get where you know what I'm saying, you know, and it'd be to suck us like the dude, you know what I'm saying. Who who try to put this in these young these young man head that that's weak or why you get to a promise ring bro like
oh you're like, what are you talking about? Brovous? Did you were you nervous about what her reaction would be or anything like that you knew that she would love it. You knew that, man, Like I don't just wing it, you know what I'm saying, Like I've send flowers this morning tour because you know, you out of town exactly.
You know what I'm saying. And I hear it in her voice the night before I leave that it's like a you know, o man like than keeps going to leave, so you know, you're like missing each other to them at the same time, it is nice to like miss somebody, Yeah I do. I kind of wanted to take this trip like as a you know what I'm saying, work
and you know, getting to that element. But I feel good when you get home, man, and you know, if you want to come out here tomorrow today like she can keep you know what I'm saying, Yeah, we gotta have you all together next. Yeah, she deserves this love and I think she needed this love in her life absolutely with all the negativity and all the ship that she gets on blogs and things like her. A lot
of people really like her. Yeah, but that's where everybody, Yeah you was out there that everyone likes right nobody, Yeah, because it wasn't only everything that's not even really love Beyonce. But there's a lot of say she's overrated and things like that, you know, coming nobody about that promise right, there was females coming at her and that's why she
made the post that she made. Y'all old As is mad because he gave you get what I'm saying, so and she takes those things well from you know, the things she I feel like before the high she doesn't really get negative press. But I think you haven't wanted. The more I love you get, the more hate you get. If you get great comment you get, you need that, yeah, you know it just yeah, I just I just don't like the angle that they've taken that. You see what
I'm saying. Now, if you want to say something like, oh the nigga can't dress or he just but you like, there's no way you're going to make fun of a man loving the woman. Yeah, you see what I'm saying. It don't matter what book you go to. It don't matter what philosophy you read, It don't matter what preacher you talk to. Behind every strong man, there's the wrong woman. Absolutely. I don't care what no one says. I always say right next to you know, every student right next And
if if we want to keep it. Yeah right next, you know, right there? Do you sing in the bed? I say you do? Why man who had the talent to be able to say sense? You should that side therapists and you didn't give her side? Like I don't like think you you can sing? How to love that little Wayne? Don't sing that. Don't listen.

I told her she didn't really know how to do like um yeah, and she didn't know how to I don't know if y'all know something called like a king together, so she didn't know. Yeah, so I kind of taught her that. Yeah. So when I was younger, I took a whole class and I had a king. So you were like you had that? Yeah,
I was in one. He was he was was turning. Yeah yeah, but what is that's like? What is that? Aye? Almost like when you turned fifteen. It's like a whole like princess know. He was the guy, one of the guys. It's a group. It's like you know, all right for Mexicans. Okay, yeah, I think my little sister had a king. It's so funny, like she probably like twenty something. Now, how many siblings do you have? Got a lot? I don't even want
to count. You don't even know. You know your mom, your mom hads was sick, my mom, but all together on the half trade love miya naya area seven. Okay, how the baby. I remember when she was pregnant with the baby, like to right, I said that. I said that because the baby is younger than your daughter. Yeah, I remember that. I remember when she was pregnant. It was like long ago. What's the relationship then between your
daughter and her daughter? So yeah, I've seen that happening my family, and my grandfather got remarried and my uncle is younger than me, because that's more common, you know, even back in the days. That's what I'm nor. I know DC young flies probably the oldest, the youngest uncle
in the world. Heard about his family. Yeah, what I'm saying, like his family, his parents are like older and the kids they had him, I don't know if they had they were older when they had him, because you know, he's still a little bit younger compared to his parents. So I'm thinking, like, yo, that family is probably like that.
You know. The dynamic of the ages and because I'd be thinking like, yeah, my live but they're you know, I'm having them three but destiny childs when they get okay, okay, seven eight, you just stop doing that tune three goals. Good luck with all your meetings out here. I can't wait to see what ends up. Happened. It just feels good to know that. Everybody once you don't. Yeah, I feel great, man, It do feel great. It happened. Yeah,

Yeah, Black Queen got you into these labels, and yeah, you're working on God's watch. You know, as long as you stay on God's watch and everything is gonna hold that. You're in a position where you can demand what you want. So it's not
what they for you, is what you want. And I think the most important thing is knowing what you want, right, Oh yeah I know what I want? Yeah. Period. Every trying to tell people always you won't period, always to bringing promised rings back, promise ring, get your girls. I honestly think you started southing this is what I'm saying, like like they remember the rais be two hearts together,
and like yeah, you're saying happy. You're saying a good tone for this generation because like any woman who's who's in a six month long relationship will be very great to get it and then get the wallet.
