CHANEL WEST COAST - Make it a Spicy Quesadilla

So where'd you learn this? Um? Just like I think I learned it from being a friends houses honest weeping, because like I grew up here in l A and like I had a lot of messan friends and like, yeah, I just kind of like the afternoon snack. Yes, it was like, hey, we're going over to Sarah's house. I have a lot of a lot of different friends growing up. But yeah, let's see here. You need this graded. So I do the grocery shopping for the show, and no, sounds crazy here. I don't want to. Oh I'm not

even gonna be shredded. So I didn't know. Do you want me to like help shredd? Yeah? Can't you? Because I'm not like good at at using the shredder. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna I would just cut it and put like little slams if he right on there? You know, yeah, I was. I was like, where's the pepper jack shredded cheese? You know? So tell me how did you get your big break? Like, oh, it's such a long story, but really I got I guess you have to say. I

got my break through my MySpace music page. Yeah. So I basically started like wrapping and singing when I was a teenager, and then I made my Space being page, and uh, from that page, that's how I met robbed your deck, So that page? Yes, what did he like my space too? Like it's such a it's such a long story, like I basically met his cousin. Let me make sure I'm not burning this one on. How hot is it? I'm just keeping on low for right now. That's plenty of cheese for I think, just to start

places like it looks good. Yeah. So yeah, And I used my mindspace to like just like network and like I wouldn't sit there adding people all day long. And one of the people I added was Rob's cousin, Drama. And then I became friends with like Drama and like his boys, and I then met Rob through them and it's a long yeah, it's a it's a really long story,

but like I'm trying to make it shut um. And like they had heard about me, like because I was already pursuing rapping, and like everybody, I think kind of like thought it was funny. I was just like little white girl who wrapped. They were probably like, who what does she? Like? They thought I was crazy, I think, um, and so yeah, they told Rob about me, and pretty much that's how it happened. Yeah, and then I asked, like I asked Rob to come to one of my shows.

I had some my little show where you have to like sell your own tickets to perform, and like I get these I would get these those shows on my crickslist and ship just so I could like try to perform somewhere. And basically, uh, I asked for all to come to a show one day and he was like, oh, I can't make it, but he was like, UM, did you want um, I want to put you on an episode of my new show. And so I was like, okay, like let's do that a su yeah yeah, and so uh so then I went to go do one episode

and that was my first day of Fantasy Factory. Now that the landscape for women rappers is way more competitive. Um, and I'm not sure if you're still signed a Young Money are you know, I'm independent, But that's a whole long story. I was never like officially signed. I was like Young Money by affiliation, and Wayne like gave me the co signers. Oh ship, that's a big pepper. I

was like, what's the cheese anyways? Um? Yeah, so Wayne gave me the Coast sign and then there was just all these complications with my deal getting done and it was held up forever, and I kept getting all these excuses from like the lawyers and my old management, and I don't know. It was just like I guess not the right timing or whatever. But like me and Wayne are still cool. Um. But yeah, I'm independent. I like fully fund everything I do and like make all my

own decisions and all that. That's awesome. And there's a lot of like behind the scenes that you have to deal with, especially with like cash fill right, I would imagine, oh yeah, like in the pandemic. That made it even harder because normally like as an independent artist, it's it's actually I mean, I love it because I don't have to um pay anybody back, you know what I mean. Like when I do these gigs, the money goes in my pocket like or that, you know, my my agents,

whoever books the gig or whatever. But um yeah, when you're with the label, they get a huge piece of everything you do. And so uh, I feel that I'm really smart with how much I spend and how much I make back, like you know what I mean. So during the pandemic, that's when it got a little hard because it was like I wanted to put out my album that year. I'm like, this is a great year to put out music. You know, people are at home, all lives are like ready, you know, so it's like,

this is a great time to put out music. But um uh, there was no gigs. So I'm putting all this money into videos and photo shoots and studios time and you know stuff like that, and and so I had to invest a lot and then I wasn't able to make as much back. So now I'm like trying to because you were releasing it even through the pandemic. Yeah,

oh that's yeah, that's a tricky situation. Yeah, because I realized the pandemic was a good time to put out music, especially because people who were signed to labels were a little bit held up, probably because things were shut down. So I'm like, okay, I'm independent, nobody's good to be back. I need to drop this now while everybody's at home like needing new content. Um So it was a good

time to invest in myself. I feel like and invest in my music just now I got to recoup and and like get all these gigs and get the money back, you know. So that's a lot of like behind the scenes business stuff. Now. Was there ever a point in your career where you're like, that's it. I may just tap out, Like, um, I wouldn't say, I Like, there's been times where I'm like, I don't want to pursue I will always make music as a hobby, like that's

just what I do. Like I've been writing poetry making little songs since I was a kid, like for fun, Like that's just what I do. It's like what I do when I'm board, Like it's my hobby. Um but there was a part a part of me that at one point I was like, I don't want to pursue this and keep putting money into this, you know, like make songs for fun, maybe just put them out on SoundCloud, like who cares? You know what I mean, not even

try type thing. There was a time when I started to feel like that, and I was like I should invest all my money into real estate and do other business ventures. And I'm like, no, you know what, I can still invest in real estate, still do other things, and still invest in my music. There's there's a time and place for everything, you know. So it's just um about spacing it all out the right way, you know what I mean? And you still take ridiculousness yep, NonStop, NonStop,

Like what does your schedules look like? Yes, like we filed six episodes a day, three days the leaks, so like yesterday I did six episodes. Tomorrow I do six episodes, and then um next and then I'm off for two weeks and then we go back to filming again. And now you don't film all years, like two weeks out the year or three weeks. No, we film all year, no way, Like it's like I'm off two weeks, then I filmed two weeks, and I'm off two weeks. And I filmed two weeks and I'm off two weeks, which Um,

for trying to travel anywhere abroad not easy. I've basically never been fucking anywhere. But yeah, because it's like I want to when I finally travel, I want to travel and like be able to see Europe and all these places like I want to go over like two days. Yeah, and now with COVID and getting tests to go to all these different trees and like, you know, yeah, it's a lot. So where have you traveled so far in my life? Mexico, Scotland, the Philippines, Spain. Colin sounds interesting.

Colin was interested. It looked real old. There was castles everywhere, like yeah, like literally there's like all these castles that you can rent on like Airbnb, Like they're literally like literally little castles. But a lot of them don't have a lectricities. But yeah, their streets are like all cobblestone. It looks like you're, you know, like in the past. Yeah. And so in the industry, as far as girls, do you feel like the women supports you? Um, I definitely

have a lot of like women artist friends. Do all of them know? Yeah? No, you know, I think it's really important as a woman artist to support other women artists, and there are some that are just a little bit more catty and that are more competitive and like whatever, Like that's cool. They can be like that, you know. So like everybody has their own personality. Yeah, yeah, So where do you want to go next from here? Definitely?

I mean, I just I'm at a point in my life, especially after the pandemic, where I think just being healthy and happy are the two most important things. And healthy I mean like physically and mentally, you know what I mean, Like like those are the two most important things to me at this point. So I don't want to do anything that's gonna like make me stressed out or give

me anxiety or like I get anxiety real easy. So like it's like it's you know, it's just a point in my life where it's like it's not worth the extra stress. I'm gonna keep making music, I'm gonna keep doing me, but I'm not gonna like overly stressed about things like I like I used to, And I'm just

kind of like going with the flow. Now. Did you go through any type of depression during the pandemic or were you like just really it was more anxiety than depression, because I feel like I used the time wisely, and I liked having that time off. I was like, Okay, this is great to have this time to like really focused on my craft. And like, you know, I was like, we couldn't get nails done for like three months, so

I used to play violins. So while I didn't have my crilics, I was like, let me just get on the violin again. I was about these nails. As soon as the nails a lotto back up, I was like, oh, put the violet. But yeah, you know that it was funny to use that time and and I didn't get really depressed, but I did get a little bit of anxiety because I like to be around people and and I, you know, I just felt like I was just like in my house so much that I started to go

a little bit crazy. You don't have any like friends, secret get togethers oh we got a few, okay. Now, in the beginning of the pandemic when everything first started, were you like, I don't know if I believe this or were you one of those people that were like I believe in a PC. I went through I went through my phases, I went through my face. The first couple of weeks, I was like cleaning door knobs like. I was like, literally, like so scared. I was like,

this is like the zombie apocalypse or something. I was one of those people I did like horn toilet paper. I was like, no, you're tewed up like, I was like, this is the womb the list. I didn't know what the hell was going on, and um and I had so I'm pretty sure I had COVID before the lockdown, and so I had had it like a month before

that made it through it. It was like I thought I was gonna die though, And so once the lockdown happened and I knew what was going on, I was like like I felt like I was a liability or something too. I was like I gotta stay inside. Like I feel like I was a super spread when I had it, because I'm one of those people that work through being sick. So when I had it, it was a weird sickness. It went through like a couple of phases. So I went to a video shoot. I went to

a photo shoot, Like did you tape ridiculousness? No, I didn't take ridiculousness until I was gonna say, hey, guys, if you got sick, you know, But like a couple of people from the video shoot I did and from the photo shoot had got sick, and so they told me later when I told him, I said, yeah, I think I had it around them. They're like, girl, a couple of people got sick after that. You I think

you were spreading it. And so so I definitely was like at the beginning of the pandemic, like super on lockdown, like and then I'm not gonna lie. I heard this Burger King commercial and that should tripped me out and I was like brainwashed us. I was like there, so I'm cleaning my house and I hear on the Burger King commercial they go, America needs you to stay on your couch. I was like, what, Okay, stay inside that's one thing. Keep your social distance that's another thing. Stay

on your couch. Those lines hit me hard because I'm like, I'm like, you know, I might have relaxed a little bit during the pandemic, but I was still staying busy, staying on my grind like he's this time and I'm like, stay on the couch. And I was like, m there's something going on. They're trying to keep us at home and keep us lazy, like I was like they're trying to make us sick. It's a Burger Key commercial saying

stay on your couch, you know. Like so I don't know, I just started being like, okay, maybe this is like some weird thing to like I don't know, like I'm you know, not a conspiracy theories. But I was just like I just started questioning things, you know, and um, I also just was like that looks good. Yeah, I think it's done. Good. Feed me now, feed me chanel Um. Yeah, you know, I went through my phases. I went through

my phases. Awesome, it looks so good. I definitely made sure to stay healthy and like you worked out a lot, worked out a lot. I was juicing, taking vitamins. I was following like all the rules. Um. I get tested a lot for work too, so it's like I constantly no negative, you know, like we're getting tested when we

film like every like forty eight hours. So yeah, I went through the pandemic and I thought I was gonna survive not catching COVID, and then I randomly took my cousin in um who like many went through like a breakup. Yeah that's all I'm doing. I'm not bold, I'm crazy, I know. Oh my gosh, like is it it's not hot hot? Oh jeez, Well if you end up going up on the show, just you know, I mean laugh. I'm one of those people like if you get hurt,

I'm laughing. That's fine, Okay, keep going on. But yeah, I had called COVID and I knew me really because there was like body aches and fever and just I started having all these symptoms and I was like, oh, I can't believe I called it. And my cousin at the time was like, you don't have it. And I was like, dude, you need to get tested because he came in sick. And then I tested positive and I was like oh. And I was apart from my husband at the time. I'm like I didn't see him for

a month and now I got to go longer. That sucks. And I was like counting down the days so I can be uh COVID free, you know. But um, when it first happened, I thought, like the economy. I was like, there's no way they can lock down all these businesses and all this stuff. I was actually shocked at that was possible. Obviously it failed history, you know, because apparently in history they did it again? You know, all of a sudden you were researching when the pandemic like this

ever happened before. Yeah, yeah, it's happened. Yeah yeah. But I didn't really take it serious until like my money started to disappear and I was like, okay, can I get a job somewhere? No, it's like that's that's another thing. Yeah, it's been hard to see. Like, I see it's good. You like it, Thank you, Thank you for feeding me. On the topic, it's like hot, but I don't know if it's the cheese that's hot or the tap of to you you mean it's hot. Yeah, sorry, I really

like spicy stuff. I'm probably over here like dripping capaccio. So have you had like men just do some ridiculously over the top stuffhen you're trying to get business done or trying to push you around like um, like even for me and as a woman in business, like sometimes you have to for lack of better word, like become a bit just to get some kind of respect to get a job done. And it's like you have to turn all the way up because they think yourself. Do

you have to deal with that a lot? Or um, let's just say that I've never like I've always been like a tomboy too, so I've had like a lot of guy friends, like I've never until I was like twenty five, I didn't really like notice sexism. I didn't like to see it was a thing. And then things started to occur to me like oh, that's sexist, all that's sexist and like and then once I started to realize that I was experiencing things like that, it started

to build up. You know. Like I'm good at like I'm good at like maneuvering through the business and like keeping my mouth shut when I need to do whatever, but there has been times where I've had to really speak up and and be like the situation sexist. And yeah, it's it's not easy to do that, you know, especially because it's like I've heard people be like, oh, this person they are crazy about a guy, like you know

that the celebrity or whatever. But but that's that's how he like, you know, you know, like that's like how he makes the magic happen or something. And it's like, okay, but if a girl were to act crazy like that, they call her a diva, you know what I mean.

But um, so like that I think that there's like these double standards and I don't know, I have had to kind of find my voice to speak up a couple of times, like yeah, that's that's I think a difficult balance for a woman a name with the me too, a movement they it was, it was, it is great. But then there's also like always a catch to every great thing where it's like we don't want to abuse the power either. But then again, I think guys are now terrified to so you've been like, look at a

girl's but or something. They're like, I don't want to compliment you. Is it okay? No? No, literally there is people like that and I'm like, yeah, it's fine, Like I don't mind somebody telling me. I looked pretty like yeah, you know that's was not weird about it, like sniffing my ear at the same time or something like what was like something you invested in that or that didn't pan out the way you wanted and you felt that hit. I had won a little venture I started with my

friend and really we both had high hopes. You know, she's just not a single mom. She's a mom with two kids, and she has a nine to five job and I'm really busy myself. But we had wanted to start like a jewelry line, and we invested some time and money into it, and it just it didn't pan out. But I think it's because we we really both didn't have the time that each of us needed to put into it, you know. And that was one that was one thing that did like not really pan out. It

kind of failed. But um, from that, I learned, okay with the next thing I start. After that. The next thing I did start was my clothing line, L Cartel, and that's done much better and I didn't the same mistakes. And you know, do you think time is more important than money when it comes to business? Um? What do you mean exactly? Like, do you like you were saying, like when you and your friend did this, you guys invested, but you didn't really have the time to invest into it.

Do you think your time is more important than the actual capital that you put in? Yeah? Well, time is definitely important. It doesn't matter how much money you have if you're not going to take the time to do what you have to do to promote it or to send the packages out when people make the orders. You know, So there's got to be the follow up. You know what I'm saying. Um so, yeah, so it's important to have the right team and the right structure around you

when you're starting a business like that. And that's what I realized, and I've told her too, for if for the future, if we start another thing together, like we just need to make sure we have more hands on deck instead of trying to take on so much ourselves.

But we don't have the time for it, you know. Yeah, but I think it's cool that you guys did do you kind of did learn that lesson because sometimes people look at like celebrities are you know, and they say, oh, well you're rich, you have this huge, big team And no, right, No, I didn't come from any big team. Like I was like telling, um, I throw his name was like, I who walked me in here? What's his name? I was

telling Drew, were just walking in here? I was like, yo, I said, we were kids and said we used to know, like you don't get caught shop lifting? It sity mall? Why because it was just easier here like the other malls. Like, oh, you mean you just don't get caught here? Yeah, Like here's like an easy place to like as a kid, I don't steal anymore. Obviously that would be great. I'm not wondering a writer. Okay, that would be crazy if I was still unger steal. But as a kid though,

like you know, we we don't. Me and my friends, we were all like broke kids and a lot of single parents, and you know, as kids to you want things, there's like let me steal a shirt or whatever. Like so like we were a little bit of like little

badasses with your kids. Um. But yeah, so like I don't come from nothing, the same with my friends, and that's why I wanted to start that with my friend Roxy, because you know, like we all started from the bottom and come from nothing, and I really do, like you know, even um with projects I'm working on now that are still in the works, Like I want to see like my girl Danielle, who's here with me, that's been my homies since high school too, Like you know, I wanna, yeah,

I want to do I want to put on like whatever real friends, And that's also been a challenge, is figuring out who's real and who's not. But all my real, genuine friends, like I want to be able to help them in any way. I can like, you know, like if they have a dream and like there's some way I could help, Like I want to help them. You know. Did you ever have any real friends switch up on you? Yes? And when you when I say switched up, Like, do

they become weird after you make it? Or do you think they're just all of a sudden there like opportunity opportunity, Like how does it look? Uh, it's it's uh, it's crazy, like it's happened over the past year and a half. Actually, it's like I've been like I feel like I've just been cutting people off left and right, like split into like like just like out of here. Um. Really, what

it is is like I think that they like. The craziest thing is people tell me I don't support them enough for something like and I'm like what more to like? It's like I like, if I see the picture, I like it, you know what I'm saying, Like, if I saw it, I like this, Like it takes five seconds

to like. I'm a very giving liker when it comes to the likes, you know, so in my opinion, if I if I'm liking or commenting, ever like that support you know, I can't sit here and like hold your hand and like, you know, it's like you, I don't even want to get into it because I don't know actually want to you and be like, hey, did you like this? No, Just like people just saying that I haven't supported them enough for something, and it's like I'm

a very supportive friend. I've let people live with me for free and like you know, done lots of nice things for people, and somehow still I feel like it's not enough. People want more, They want you to do more for the of And then also like just people trying to say like things about you that aren't true, which is the craziest thing I've dealt with. I never thought that people that I couldn't be friends with like since childhood could start saying just like things about your

character and stuff that like are not true. And I'm like, yo, this is getting out of hand, like to like your other friends, just the other yeah, mutual friends, you know. L A is a small world like that, Like it's very like it's it's so funny how spread out it is here, but then like things travel so fast here. I think it's even worse, like into New York and New York it's like you're on the small little freaking island and like and there's boroughs and they're all close.

It's so close together, but things still spread like that they're here, it's so spread out, like we're you know, Ella is a big city and things travel fast here and people I've I've heard just like that's why I started cutting people off. I heard this person said that, Like what do you call him out there? And You're like, hey, did you say it? No? Yes? Or yeah, like double down,

like yeah, I said it. It's it's just crazy, and I'm like, you know, I didn't think people could just like it's like kind of delusional, like they're in their head thinking things that are not true, you know what I mean. Like, so that's that's where I'm at, Like it is like I'm just trying to figure out who's

real and who's not. And I definitely have some really good, genuine girlfriends, like who've been there since day one and guy friends, um, but there's been a couple of people who are like just bad scenes that I had to get rid of. Yeah, I've gone through some of that recently. Even with family. Sometimes family X switches up and that's difficult because you know, and I think a part of maturing it is like figuring out how to set those boundaries and when to set them and not feel bad

about them, Like do you ever feel bad afterwards? Like, man, I feel so bad a little, a little, but also like like I said, I'm at that point where it's like I just want to be happy and healthy and mentally healthy and whatever is gonna be good for my mental wellness, That's what I have to do, and you know, it is what it is. I always wonder like if I send a DM to someone like I really you know, like there's some entrepreneurs online. I'm like, hey, you know what,

do you want to come check out eating? Of course it's a weird thing to say, but I was wondering if they're actually reading it or some people do, you know. I mean I can't read everything, especially because Instagram, which like I don't know somebody who works for them is

watching this. But my d ms do this weird thing where like, for example, will be like a million messages from from an hour ago, two hours ago, three hours ago, for and then all of a sudden, after seven hours ago, it jumps to like three days ago, and I'm like where the messages go that whole time. You know. So I lose a lot of messages and I don't know why.

It's this like weird Instagram error. So I because once I noticed that, I started checking them even more because I'm like, well, dang, I guess I gotta check my to just NonStop just to catch things, you know. Um. So so once I noticed that, now I check it even more. But I didn't used to check it that much. I would just try to do like a quick scroll through. If I see a couple of nice ones, repost them, or you know, try to reply to a couple of nice ones and you see maybe anybody popping with a

blue check stry side of my decos. I am looking for a husband, you know, so occasionally I check. But like so you think if you would consider someone like a guy that slid into your d M. It depends who it is. And yes, there's been a lot of crazy so that I had to be like, no, I'm not gonna give a chance. What advice would you give to someone that is trying to pursue the entertainment industry? Like knowing everything you've been through, the ups the downs,

what keeps you on track? Like what advice would you have you clung to the number will No, I went to the number one thing. I mean, there's definitely a few things, but say them all. First of all, I would say it's important to never get ahead of yourself and think like you're such a superstar that you don't need a regular job. That's number one. I agree with that.

I feel like a lot of people and that's like a couple of these friends who switched up, you know, maybe made some weird comments like oh, well, you know you have everything handed to you. What Then I'm like, oh, you met Rob and there was like I'm like I sat there on my Space adding people all day long.

That's how that's got me to Rob. You know what I'm saying, And it's like, you know, people just like anyways, I just got I got lost in my thought again because I just got something about agree with the day job thing. Like a lot of like while we're doing eating while broke, a lot of people don't know this, Like I have a day job, I have my side hustle, and then I have this And I'm sure when this comes out, people are gonna be like, Okay, let's just fell out this guy. It's like, no, I still have

some money. Yeah, still trying to manage all this Yeah no, And people don't realize you like you can't. Like I always worked hard, Like when I was in season two Fantasy Factory, it was a lot of filming and MTV did not pay that well. Like it was like almost like you know, these hours and this money, this doesn't

add up. I was like, this is crazy. So I had to get a part time job and like and that's also one of the first things that I was like, Okay, I think I'm getting famous or something, because like I'd be at work holding T shirts at a clothing store and can I get a picture with you? And I'm like, look at my boss and like can I can I take a picture of whatever? Boss? Like one day he's like he's like, you know, Chandelle, He's like, I think you're like getting kind of popular, like maybe you should

like do some other things or something. He's like, I don't think you belong in like the clothing store. And I was like, but I need this money, like I'm trying to get money, like you know. So like no matter what, I always was like I always even sometimes now I'm like there'll be days or too often I'm like, damn,

I wish I had some sort of hustle. I was like, maybe I should my real estate license, like you know, like it's just like I like to work and I like to hustle, and I think that, um that sometimes people don't think, oh, there's such a star that they that they don't have to like work, and they think like, oh, maybe I'm so talented or I'm so cute. You know that I don't have to work. And you should never be like that. You should always you always got to put in this. You got to match the work with

with your talent and with your cuteness. And you know what I'm saying. Um, I think a lot of people get ahead of themselves. I've seen it. That's the advice I give to like a lot of my young friends I see coming up in Hollywood, Like they get a following. The next thing, you know, they're like, no job, like just like and I'm like, yo, like keep us a

little day job, keep a side thing. Like you still need money, yes, save up some money and like have like a little bit of a foundation just in case something doesn't work out, you know, like yeah, especially here in l A people really get ahead of there's they do fast. There's just they get one gig or something. They're like off to the whatever land. What's your second piece? Because I know you said you had to Oh yeah, wait, okay, we'll take it back. What was the question against? It

was like knowing everything that you had. Um. I would also say that if you want to be in this industry, you have to have thick skin. You gotta be tough. Like it's like I are I always knew like getting into this, Like I knew before I even had like

the online hater and stuff. I'm like, like that job comes with craziness, you know what I mean, Like even just from like when you know, like when we were younger seeing all the stuff and like TMZ and the media was like like Lindsay Lohan and like Britney Spear, all these people like you know, paparazzi constantly following them and attacking them, Like you have to be ready for that,

like and you can't. You can't be soft, Like even a couple of times I've seen certain celebrities like complain about and I have to myself, you know, like I get it. But that's why I told try to hold myself back as much as I can by talking about the haters. It's like, yo, I signed up for this, you know what I'm saying. Like, so it's like you gotta just you gotta have thick skin. And yeah, I think it goes back to the ignoring the haters thing,

being to ignore all the hate and just stay focused. Yeah. I had. I have a couple of influencers that are friends. But one time I was hanging out and they were showing me the d MS of hatred and it's like, kill yourself when I see you, I'm gonna kill you. And it's like people DM this and there's dead serious, and you know, the influencers like jokes back, like so what'd you eat today? You know? Yeah, yeah, Yeah, that's

the funniest when you reply like that. Yeah. And then the guy was just clearly getting more upset, and I just could not believe like that was a regular thing, Like how mean and vicious they are, Like you don't they don't know what kind of day you're having when they're doing this. I also thought his response was probably in furiating him even more. Yeah, but yeah, so those two,

is there any other one? I mean, there's so many tips I could give people, Um, Like I think the first two are yeah, those are those are two solid ones, um and then another thing too, Like I mean I've definitely said I just slided people's d ms. So, like, you gotta do things in a strategic way. You don't want to ever be annoying. You don't want to be crazy.

Like if you make a connection with somebody that's like more famous than you, like be very careful with that connection, you know, like don't bug that person, don't blow them up. I think that's why Rob asked me to be on a show. Like I had this guy's number for months.

I didn't I didn't annoy the funk out of him, you know what I mean, Like like I think that, and then there's there's other situations to where like from artists I've worked with, you know, like like I got their number, I waited for a while to hit them up, and then I was like, what's what a feature? You know what I mean? Like you've got to like approach people the right way, and sometimes people can be overbearing and annoying, and those those people scare me away. You know.

Also it's like you can't be blowing people up, like you've got to like you gotta just like, uh, we have a category of ridiculousness. Other day it's called read the room. You gotta be able to read the room.

You know what I'm saying, Like you to be able to like does this person like that I'm texting them this or you know what I'm saying, like like paying attention to people's body language and or responses via text and like don't just don't be annoying because like I've seen so many people hurt their careers by being this annoying, like to the point where people were like, don't let them in the party, Like all they're always like they're so annoying, they're always trying to get in everything that

it does, like you don't want to be known as that person, Like you gotta slide in the right way side and don't just to paggyback off that. I remember this one girl she was hanging out with like our group and some of them are very successful, but she would write like a tent page essay through Instagram of her life story and it was like random and it was like clearly she was working out stuff. But it also freaked people out because it was like, we just happened.
