Five point one Coco Joe Jones. I saw your little video. Yes, I'm so cute. Thank you, thank you very sexy, very fly, thank you, hich Hey, how you do? Finally we got this happening. I know. I am so happy, happy for everything that's happening to you. Thank you and for you, Thank you. I know this has been a long this is not a people are just getting to know you. So some people think you are just brand new out of nowhere. But that is not the case. It's the let's give the newbies just a quick like
tutorial. Okay, well points points, give the power points started singing as a fetus. As a fetus. Mother mother is actually a singing coaches, and well she's my singing coach, but she would sing in church and like when she would do stuff around her city for her community and whatnot. Um, but yes, I wanted to sing and take it professionally. So I stopped playing basketball. I started really pursuing it. My mom, I sat
basketball. Uh, respectfully, I was not because I was just tall as heale and everybody else was sure to s. It's always seems like a waste when somebody's so tall they don't play ball. Yeah, but hey, I did, so I ain't gonna jug it. Ain't played everybody but ahead, Okay, So yeah, I stopped playing basketball. I started singing. I did talent competitions. Up judge at the Talent Competition worked with me for two years for free in the studio. I made a very ghetto, di y
little album about sleepovers basketball in school. How old I was ten ten, gave it to a casting director at this huge casting called five Thousand Kids. I was like, here's my album. We're gonna know about me, learn about me, listen to this, So I was I knew. I think I was like super sure. It was weird, how sure I was from where like from God, from your parents, from me where I just was like, this is just what I'm gonna do, Like this is just it,
you know Yeah? And I don't think it until I got older that I like, I wished I had that surreness and that's certain you anyway, So I gave them my EP. A couple of years after that, they asked me to be on their Talent competition on Disney Channel, and then from there I was really just involved with the channel. Did a couple shows that the movie that Changed my life was with Hollywood Records, and then I got
drop from Hollywood Records, and then I didn't want to do well. My mom didn't think it was best for me to do a TV show at that time, and I was confused to hell, that's what fast forward then I was doing. My mom has been like in charge of the career of the whole time. Ye, well, my mom has been my team when I didn't have a team. But obviously she didn't She's my mom, and she
didn't She didn't want to have to do that. It's hard, you know, like she just wanted to be my mom, protective and but that's what she had to do. So yeah, then we had the little moment of silence, what's going on in my life? What am I doing here? Old? During the silence sixteen seventeen, coming out of child acting into being an adult. Where do I fit in? What is my vibe? I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm just gonna keep doing what I don't
even know. I don't know what I'm doing. And then I was doing little things, of course I do. Even if sixteen, when you're in the quiet spot, you like you still love it, right, like the only reason I didn't give up is because I loved it, Like I just could not give up. Yeah, I wanted to. I was like, why don't I want to be a dentist please? I just want you to make me want to be a dentist. I will do dentistry work passionately because I let you know, to be a dentist, you do this, this
and then, and you're qualified. And I went to school for this, so you have to hire me because I can do this job instead of like I can do the job amazing, but I don't look like da da da da da or you know whatever. So yeah, I kept doing it because I loved it. I was super confused. And then TikTok. So I started doing my covers on TikTok. One day I woke up and it had been viral. But actually before this, there was a tweet on Twitter like
what happened to cocoa? So I responded to that. I told my story on YouTube. They took that clip and put it on TikTok and that went viral first, so everybody was using my sound. Then I started doing cover on TikTok. Then I met my team. Then it's like a phenomenal recap like of your whole career, Like you have done this a few times. I've definitely, but you're doing well. You give like because I knew a lot of this stuff, but hearing it him in the context contexts, in
the timeline. Social media kind of gave me my renaissance moment again and I was going viral on TikTok and then I met my team. I started having acting management, music management. My acting management was like, you need an audition for this road. It's called Hillary and Bellair. I audition. I
get that. At the same time, I signed with def Jam high Standards, And it was crazy timing because if you went too long down the Hillary road, it could have made people maybe not try to take you seriously as artist. But literally, when the first episode premier, the first season premier, so did my music came out at the same time. Caliber came out at sent time. So yeah, that kind of catches you up to where we are now. But you pop to you, you just there's something about
being working so young as a kid. I know it doesn't work out for everybody, and it messes kids up mine sometimes if you don't have a good um family support all of that, but there is something that prepares you to like shine when it's when it go. I do feel like, yes, I think I look at my Disney past like it was boot camp. Yeah. So now I know how to present myself and represent myself well. Like the other day, I performed at a gala, a charity gala. All
executives business. Yes, the worst normally, yes, because they don't want to dance. They don't want to they don't want to show no emotion for real, like you know, like good luck, go ahead, whenever you're ready. But I literally had flashbacks to all the years where I would go in this little black girl with all a table of executives and they'd be like,
whenever you're ready, and you just gotta go there. Yeah, there's there's no fear allow you will not get the job, right, you know, you just won't get the job there, so you really gotta go there. So it's just you know what I'm saying, tell me what you're saying. You know what I'm saying. I see you. But that's my hot song. No, No, I gotta do the song. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, but yes, it did train me. I look at it
all with no embarrassment. Every time I see my younger self, I know how much I wanted it, and I gave everything I had every time I could. So I look at it like, good job, little girl. I love that. I love that you have that for yourself too, because so you Yeah, so what does this feel like now? Is it's like a little surreal or does it feel like, yes, this is exactly what where I'm supposed to be. Humbly, it does feel like this is where
I'm supposed to be. Yes, not like oh period, like yeah, yes, of course, like I worked, I worked my ass off. Yes, I'm happy that this is where I'm finally getting here, you know, get my slot please, like I'm on now. You know, it feels like it feels like I've been at a company and they promoted me. It's not like I was slacking off. That's why y'all promoted me. But thank you for my promotion. Yes, thank you. I'm looking forward to
more opportunities at this company. But I'm happy though. I am very happy. Funny and then bell Air thing you probably knew from the gate because there was a lot of expectation about that show, So it wasn't like, you know, sometimes you're doing show and you're like, is it gonna land? Is it gonna do anyway? You don't really know, But I think that show had a lot of eyeballs from the beginning, definitely, So you you knew that it was gonna I don't. I'm just gonna raise your level of
awareness. I had no idea. Yeah, I had no idea. I knew that people were gonna watch it, but I know if if black people are gonna watch it to hate or watch it to love, I had no idea how they were going to react to that. And we always liked, you know, because I feel like my culture we either love it or we hate it. Yeah, you know. So were you scared? Oh yeah, I was scared. I was like, please like this, please, you know. And then something something with so much heritage, it's so much
it's scary. That's very scary to mess with, like a classic. Oh yeah, it was very near wrecking. But you're here now, Coco, So are you having fun? Is it weird? Is it like? Because the level of fame too, is leveled up little as a little. You know, you're like in the streets, preople are way more probably coming up to you and stuff. How are you? How you adjusting? I'm having fun because you want it. You're like, were you so prepared and ready
for this? Yes? I am prepared, And honestly, it's so weird. It's like a Renaissance type of moment because I really feel like this is deja vu in a in a weird way, because you're supposed to be here. Well, not even that, because when I did my first movie that really popped me off leg chin, I was thirteen fourteen, and I just remember world change. Now. Everywhere I go, like groups of little kids would follow me and stare and stuff, and I just was like, huh,
what is this? What is this? That's when I was like, what is going on? Yeah? I would ask my parents. They try to explain it to me like they're your fans. They they're your fans, and I'm like, what is that? What do why? Because I wasn't fans of nobody. I just was like, what are you doing? How do I get to where you're at? Okayoot oh? No no no no no, you had nobody that you group? Now really now, when I went to my first concert, literally I'm just not like that. I'd be
like, how do you do get to your job? How do you do what you do? It was more like I want to learn. I've always been like teaching me how you never like no, I didn't not fan of eyes. I don't know, like yeah, yeah, like girl, you ain't even hit that note correctly? Scoot on over? You were coming for everybody. I don't know what respect. But I think because right now, how do I get around? Something's in my eyes driving me crazy? Sorry happens. But also I think it's like the sports in me. I played
basketball and my dad played professional football. We would be training every summer. Even when I stopped singing, I was still doing summer camps outside. I'm just a competitive athlete type person. I remember when I went to my first concert. It was a Cheetah Girls concert. And do they know that? Who don't? I don't think they do. I don't think they do. I've actually seen Adrian. I don't know. I haven't gotten a chance of to her that way. Oh yeah, you could tell. They were like
security started lining the role and we're like, what's going on? What are they? So then the Cheetah Girls come out and they're like making their way through the row looking at the crowd, right they're looking at the crowd like yeah, girls, we love y'all. And I swear, I swear. And she looked at me like come on stage with us, which one kay. Yes. She looked at me like come on stage. You are star as well. Come on, and I was like, obviously, yes,
let's go. So literally, I'm like move I tell me. I'm like, girl, move on now, scoot cheat, I'm scooting down the road right and I feel a grab and my mom was like, ah, she didn't let you go. No. I'm like, Mama, they're telling me to go on stage with them, like it's rude to not because she's like, no, they're not. I'm like no, I swear. So we're literally having like a debate. I'm like, mom, please let me go up there. This is my time to shine, this is the time.
She was like no, she was literally like no, wait where they go? Or you made this up in your head? I don't know. I don't know if it was real. It's so clear in my mind, like borderline delusional. I'm a little delusional. I'm a little I just swearing. She might have just literally looked and stared at me, but I think with her eyes she was like I see the star in you Come and shinee. I was like, thank you, Oh my god, you know what I just saw in you? You just did that line. I get why people
say you should play gabriel Union. You got that. I didn't. I didn't. No, I didn't see it. I just saw it. You know what's so funny? With my friends, I do a little like Gabrielle. Come on, let's get it. Can we get it? Hey? Come on? You know what it is like? Don't play with me? Okay, like a little short sentences. I don't know. I always you've done it in front of her. Has she seen? No? I don't. I don't know if she liked that or not. Let's take her.
No, she would like it. She's a fun girl. She she is. I don't know. I'm not sensitive, but like, you're right, and when I've seen her as nothing but love, she's so nice. She like, yeah, she loves women, she likes to support women. She's she would love that. It's fine, it's fine, we're gonna make a clip, but we're gonna attack her. So she could see it. So so it's does it go beyond that? Like if there was a movie, if there was like a Gabrielle I would absolutely, absolutely I love Gabrielle Union.
I love that class and that no bullshit energy, like I would play d Wade in your Gabrielle Union movie. Y'all got a good look with that, because I have no idea. Who do we think could play d Wade? Any suggestions, Nila, who do you got? She's at us? Come on? Who just played the basketball guy? And uh SINQUI maybe no Kofe. I like where you're going with this. You don't see Kofee doing
basketball? Well, it has to be two things. He has to be able to do basketball, but he also has to be able to handle gab da Vinci da Vinci? Is he tall? Because you're five ten, he's got to be he'sall. Is he tall? He's I don't know how he could. I don't know if he can handle a basketball or I don't know if he's I really don't know. I don't know he's all right. We've we've slightly casted this movie slightly slightly. We're upen to suggestions if you want
to hit the comments and put your suggestions. Let's let's let's let's yeah. I wonder what the let's put this out in the world and see what comes back. Okay, I'm then we would need somebody to play a little cavea baby that should be a shady baby. You don't a shady baby. Um uh. Marse Martin's little sister, mar sitness so spicy. She could play the shady bay. Definitely could she definitely could not? You really, I
like this for you because we have to Coco. As your music career is continuing to grow and evolved, we have to keep the acting thing going through. That is my goal. Absolutely. I was gonna say, is it as as important to you or it's in the site? It's definitely, it's it's it's mmm a little bit just a little bit less, um But I do feel like it is important because ideally I would want to go that he got route. I mean for you, I would love to do that.
And I've done, I've done theater, I've done can you get acting everything? So yes, okay, So then we need want to we need to play. We we need I would need to play play. I would need to have to do you have to do? And I am telling you, oh, I'm not going that would eat? That would eat? Have we seen you do that? Ever, No, you have, they've done that publicly. You could probably sing the shit out of that song. I did. Um, I did Beyonce's from dream Girls. Oh listen, listen.
Yes, I was like, listen to what? No listen? He yes, yes, yes, but yeah, acting and singing. I'm trying to get I can't. I don't have it. I don't have it. Listen, that's the big what's the big theater part? Listen? I am alone out of give it to them, give it to them. I'm me singing it out and I was taking shouts. So it's the low you're gonna get the auto out today? Yeah, I went to the clear. Where did you sing that? Where can we see it? Oh? I would?
I used to sing that everywhere. That was one of my auditions. I feel like it's somewhere somewhere out there. You probably bodied it too, I probably. I mean I was probably a feat of singing that one. That was one of my first auditions. What about what is your go? Do you have a Whitney song that you do? I don't have a Whitney song that I used to audition to. I used to actually audition to um Chain
of Fools read the Chain of fools. That's not a typical. I know it was stuff that my mom would listen to, like change change, chain, chain, chain chain. I would definitely do that, and my mom would do this thing were he just gives us like two bars so we can envision it for five long years. Hey that you want my man, but founder, I'm just link in your chain. Give me this part, give me to me. You got me where you want, man, I ain't a living bunch of food. You can get the background, but the change
change change. Very Yeah, that's good. You know I would do that at the end, like really carry that? Where does this? Where did that? Where does that come from? Where do you learn that? Where can you do that? I want to do that so bad? You know when you have like envy of like I envy people who could really sing like that because it must feel so good. It does? It does? Like when I'm horse or something or like you can't get it out. I can't sing. I really feel low low vibration. Really yes, I'm like,
well, tea's my purpose? Yeah? Is it weird to you that we can't sing? Like like does it? No? No, no, you know what I'm saying, Like that, does it seem so easy to you that you can can you not understand why other people just cannot hold the damn note. No, it's not like that. I look at it more like I don't know how to do a plenty of things that people know how to do. Okay. I think it's just that's the gift that I got, and everyone has their own gifts. I don't look at it like it's weird.
Sometimes it's funny, though, do you look at it really, like, like do you treat it like a gift? Like? Yeah, when I because when I can't sing, I'm like my gift. Literally, I feel purposeless, floating in the wind. I don't live for it. It's really sad. So what do you do to like take care of it? Like do you have to do? You do stuff? I do? I I definitely do when I have important performances coming up. I'm on some soldier
very restricted type of lifestyle because I hate not being ready for things. Yeah. So, um, most of the time I will not be drinking, will not I won't even go out because I want to. I don't want to talk too much and like run down my the clarity of my voice. Um, drinking a lot of tea and liquid and practicing vocal exercises. Yeah. Me and Nila were talking about this earlier because I was like, do
you think like people could learn how to sing? I do think people can learn how to even if you can't sing, like I can't sing and Nila can't sing. I think you can learn how to do things if I want to, like in the next ten years of my life that you think I could learn, it might take ten So I don't know how long did I possibly be really seriously there? Now? That is the thing. I feel like you can learn a lot of things, but sometimes it'll miss that that
real soul energy it'll give. That's the gift. That is the gift I feel, connecting to your spirit and your soul with it, you know, making you feel God, making you feel heavenly. That's what I feel like music can really do is really powerful. What's your God's song? Like, what's the song where you saying that you like, you know what? Take me to the King tambla man whoa. That's a good one. I literally get chills thinking about it because it's like you can feel exactly what she's singing
there, like you can I imagine. I'm very visual to have to Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do for sure, especially when I need to get my spirit right because I need to be Sometimes I need to remind myself, like before all of this, who did I really depend on? Like these things don't make me or break me, and they definitely can't keep me safe. They're just acknowledgements moments in time, celebratory moments, but moments are fleeting. What is my real, real safety? It is not in these
things. It's in God, you know. So I do try to remind myself of that when I when I get a little too caught up in how and why and what, and when you're rooted in that, it's easier, like how you were saying, I don't say it from an arrogant place. It's easy to be confident about your gift and your purpose where you know it's it's bigger than you. You know what I'm saying. It's easy to be like, yeah, I'm here, Yes I'm supposed to be here because I
was put here. That facts because you know what I do. You know what I'm saying, it's from a different place. I totally get that, yeah, absolutely, And every times where I'm like, please change the course of my life. This is really hard, and then something would happen and I'd be like, will you keep playing with me? Okay, We're in another year, Here we go, here we go, you know, yeah, this must be an exciting time though. It is exciting. So what's
on the like, what's on the future agenda? Yeah, yeah, like just in the front in the in the front mirror right now, Like, well, I'm really excited because I I'll be talking like this happening today. So today you just dropped the little one two step pack? Did I hit my five, six, seven as well as eight? So the song Crazy for Me, I've been really really eager to show my dancing abilities. So I'm really excited for this visual to be out for people to see another side
of me. She's she's not only she gorgeous, but she could act, and she could sing these notes, and she could change chain chain and she So today I just dropped my EP live performance for my song Crazy for Me, off my debut EP live performance. So it's not really like a video like a music video. It's like not, it's not exactly a music video. It's a taped performance. It's a perform Yeah yeah, yeah, but you're bodying it and you look amazing. Thank you. And you got no
shoes on. I don't have shoes and you five tens so you could do that. Yeah, I was like, let me get like them, so I want to eat it up like them. He was eating it up. It looked like you're having fun too. I did have fun. So wait, this is the beginning of like another thing that we're about to start seeing. I think, just another side of me that I also can do. You know, I really really was nervous when I see you came out because I was telling my team like, what if they only want me to do
this part? I want to dance like I want to. I love to dance. I love to be on stage and give that energy. So I just want to remind everyone that I do multiple things. My concerts will be multiple things because I am multi. Is there a concert coming? Is there tour coming? Plan on being on my own tour? Your tour is gonna be so good. I already know it. Thank you. Who would you go out with? Have you thought about that? I have actually a couple of girls that I would want. You want to do girls? Yeah?
I would, I would want to definitely do girls, and honestly, I would want to do black girls as well, because I just feel like I have a platform and I want to share that with my sisters. Yeah, like it's only right. I wish somebody would have done that for me. Yeah, that would have been nice. We could have got to this earlier. I know, right, but it's all right. It's God's timing. God's timing. We're here now. Okay, So that dropped today, which
is very exciting. Now people see you with the one two and then what's next? Well touring and then Bellair season three and there's a lot to manage. Yes, it is. And throughout the whole time, I'll be working on my debut album because I only had all this happened with eb It's amazing. And when's album come? Do you have a timeframe? I would say it would come out when season three of bell Air would come out, and realistically that would be a beginning of the year. Have you got any Emmy
nominations, Jeff for bell Air yet? I don't know. Did we? Oh? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. For what. You should know these things, Coca, because if you get an Emmy nomination, if you win an emmy. Then you're on your way to your A. That's true. You gotta focus, gotta focus, I know, right, I'm like, da, let me get to go. Honestly, I am not one hundred but we definitely have a lot of um reason to be concerned. So so season for sure happening. Yes, it definitely got picked
up. It got picked up. You haven't shot anything. You haven't shot anything yet. It's a good team too. You seem like it's like the cast is dope, but it's good. Everybody seem talented, Yes, really really well casted. I would say I thought they did. I thought you guys did a great job. Thank you could have went either way, could have one either could have win either way. I'm just saying, even as talent, you know that, Oh yeah, we all knew. We were
like this could we go, This could go either well. Because also that there was some hate ration and hileration and that dancery like people were not sure. They were very unsure. Really, they weren't living for even the idea. Are you feeling that? Yeah? No, but I don't look at the comments like that. You don't how you managing that? Um? I
just get on TikTok or I just watched the Office or something like. I don't want to get into that because I feel like it ain't my business what y'all got to say about me, and less good, thank you, thank you, thank you. I appreciate it. But sometimes people just lean negatively, like some some like stuff is just gonna always lean negatively. So I don't even go over there. Now you cannot. So we do a little
feature called google Me. Have you ever google yourself? Yeah? Because sometimes the pictures we look at ragty and I'm like, can we figure out why is my Wikipedia the one where I had that bright pink lipstick on no line? I didn't even know what I was doing. Is that the one that's there? There? It googled yourself? I have, So do you know what comes up? Like some of the top questions that people ask about you, I'm gonna ask someone to tell you you can answer you. You're gonna
answer them for me. Some of them are very simple and simple, Like one of them says, where was I born? What is Coco Jones's real name? Yeah? Courtney, that's cute. Courtney? Is there a middle? Courtney? All right? Sorry? I don't want to and your Social Security number. No, I'm just kidding. How tall it's Coco Jones? I ain't say five ten, but sometimes some doctor has said five nine, some say five ten. I don't. I don't know. I think five
ten. Somebody google? People google what is Coco Jones famous for? A lot? I'm just kidding, Um, that's a good answer. Literally good which which one? Which? Which fame? The baby fame on the Grown Girl a lot? How old was Coco Jones? And Let It Shine? Fourteen? What movie does Coco Jones play in? Let It Shine? They're very intelligent to people who google. Your fan base is uh, you google in these things? You don't know her. That means if you're googling things
you are new to that. Yeah, that's true. This is a new circles. This is a new circle of people that are like, who is this Coco, Where is Coco Jones? What is she famous for? What is her real name? It's Coco Jones married. I have seen that too. I'm like, no, I'm not Wow. Who trying to come with daddy? Yeah? Yeah, yo, your DM's got to be crazy though, I mean, yes, they're not. First of all, I'll be feeling like that's gassed up, like DM's being crazy. I just feel like
that's kind of gassed up. People don't still do it. It's not a thing still. I know they do DM and everything, but I just feel like it's not what what do people think now that I have a song we Recognize your Beauty Lady that sings like it's always been people a DM, like I imagine for you. Here's what I imagine. There's some very famous actor or artist, or let's maybe an athlete, somebody who is in his own world, maybe he's famous too. He sees you from Afar, he sees
your new dance video and your bare feet. He's like, how can I get to know her? So he goes to the DM. That's what I'm talking about. DM. Well, that's very realistic, but that happens a lot. I'm gonnamagine. Yes, yes, it's probably a solid list too, like yes, yes, yes, some aren't like selling something. I'm like, what you know, But I feel like I'm more of the we
gotta meet in person. Yes, I would ideally not like to meet somebody off of Instagram because then I'm gonna go to your page and like, first of all, I'm already analyzing the first thing you say to me, So it's just gotta eat. And you don't even know me, so you don't even I don't even know how you said that. What would what would be? What would be? What would eat? What would be a thing? I really like if you were you and you were trying to holler at you
your DM, what would be a thing that would shot a shot? Now I'm just kidding. I would really like upfront, to the point, respectable and plans like don't one sentence that means nothing. I don't what are you? What is this? I don't understand who are you? You know, like, I think you're really beautiful. I would love to get to know you more if you be okay with that, No pressure, like leave it up to me. Yeah, no, no, non'd be two pushy?
Yeah, like please somebody. That wouldn't be difficult. That's in some sense, thank you, yes, yes, some sense, keep right there, keep right on there, let's put it, put it out there, but don't push let me let me come right right right right. This is good advice if somebody is thinking about it, well, don't just copy and paste what I said, but razzle dazzy on it. Otherwise I'm gonna see right through. Yeah, you better put some razzle dazzle. Okay. So Coco
Jones is not married. No, uh, it's Coco Jones Mike Jones's daughter, yes, but not the rapping one, not the rapper's daughter, not the rapper's Coco Jones from s WV.

She was super super friendly. I met her kid to her kid was like a really big fan of me. It was really cool. That's sweet. Yeah, Coco, Coco, Coco collabor at some point, that could be fun. I have double back Sample's rain right, it's the

That means they approved who's been the greatest co sign Like who's been the biggest surprise of something like that where somebody's like maybe somebody you look up to is like like your work or been in I think um Janet Jackson, Oh, she she posted my whole performance of one of her songs that I had sang, um the whole thing. She put on her Instagram and feed are you in for you? Yes? And like was like giving big up in me that like was very very shocking. Do you get alert that this is gonna
happen like to somebody else? It just came up. My manager called me and she was like but then I was like, oh my gosh, Yeah that's all I was. It was I saying I get to lonely. Oh that's a good one. I think I saw that. Now that you say that, I think I saw that. How exciting for you? Very cool? All right? So then Coco, you're set, You're good, You're on your way. All the things you want to happen are gonna happen. You're gonna get to eat goott. Yeah, what do you have a timeframe
on this? Five ten years? God's timing with the time frame, because that drove me crazy. Yeah, because I thought when I was sixteen, I was gonna drive my car up to my new job and I'd be like, oh my gosh, you guys you can parkad yeah, come on, and then I'd be like, da da da da da, and then I drive him there. In my concert, I didn't drive anywhere because there was no too, because I am I have no job. So no, I'm not putting any time. But you manna keep voting though I couldn't if I
could have, if I just couldn't. I loved it too much. I loved it too much. I wanted to see, you know, it all play out like it is now. Just knew I had to keep Is it everything you imagined it would be? It is everything that I imagined it would be. Yes, the good parts and the bad parts. You expected them, I did. Yeah, I know, it's not like I'm just gonna walk into a fairy tale lands. It's still the music business. Yeah,
it's still business. And you were raised to probably have some type of understand. I know your father played football, but it's still a level of like like I don't know, just professionalism and like public. And I think they definitely raised me to always show up as my best version of myself and be professional and really market myself and pitch myself, you know what I'm saying, Like look at me as a product in a way, and I want to be the best version. But I do think that they left me a little
naive as to how this was all going to play out. Yes, I mean I moved to La by myself when I was seventeen. Well that's wild, and well they had to let me go. That's seventeen. Yeah, I graduated early. So I don't let my seventeen year old go to a house party if I don't if the parents y'all here in New York scary dot com. We was in leban and nothing but Digger's out there, so they were really like, oh, go to LA, you have a good time. Seventeen Yes, So I just thought I was going to get there and
it was immediately going to change. I wasn't super naive, so I had to learn. I think I had to learn all over again what my music industry life will look like how to have my dreams still in the midst of that without them shriveling out of fear that they won't happen? And that was hard to learn. Again, he pushed through, you're here now, so good. How are you balancing regular life? You have friends and or your friends you don't ever see them? Like, do you have a normal life?
Like yeah, doing normal things? Yeah, I feel like I'm real normal. Sometimes my team gets mad at me because I just go and do normal things myself. You want a supermarket, walk around by myself anywhere, That's what continue said. She said, continue, tell me what else? Uber? Yeah, you're not uber xing, are you? I don't know? You better be uber blacking at least she still sometimes gonna be like she come on, what's up the street? And then one time I was in
New York and I was like, why is this? We're so cheap? I was like, I get it, though they know they got a glitch of something going on. It was uber x it was uber share, uberpool, Oh, uberpool. Then I get in there and then we didn't make a stop. And then this other man get in there, and I was like, what the hell? And then I look at this thing. I was like oh. And then I was like, well, we're on the way now. She come on. And then I'm talking to my mom.
I'm like, Mom, look what I'm doing. I was like, I'm in a uber uber share and she was like going off of me. She was like, oh, do you can't be doing this stuf? But anymore, Like I try to tell you know, I was like, I don't know who was the guy who got into uber share. I don't know. He didn't speak my language. Okay, so it was okay, it worked out, okay, but don't play that game because that was good. That was very goofy. I didn't know. I thought it was a glitch.
I don't know why. Is probably not ideal, not ideal for you. I wouldn't even do that normally, you know. I didn't even know they still did that. I thought that was done after the pandemic. There's too many I didn't know. There's too many crazy people got to be. I definitely played myself. I was laughing really hard. That was very goofy of me. You seem pretty grounded and like you're still doing normal stubs. I
mean, me and my friends, we are normal we are. I just feel like I get along with people that just don't care about all of that stuff. You're not you're not impressed by like no celebrity or fame, anyone who's trying to flex that. I'm like, yeuck, no, that just doesn't do it for me. Like I'm never gonna walk around Oh yeah, I see you. Yeah, You're gonna have to dig deep and ask me what I really do to get a full answer, and then have to I'm gonna be like, why do you want to know that? Right? You
know? Like what I just want to be human beings because I just look at it like, this is my job. I happened to do this job. What's your job? What do you do? Yeah? You know? Cool? We're going on and your friends are all good? Yeah, my friends are all like in different lanes. So I have some some friends that are like more influencers fashion pages, like they do flat fashion stuff like that.
And then um um, I have a friend who's a nurse. One of my other best friends plays Lisa on the show bell Air, So someone who plays Lisa loved that girl. And then my best friend Jalen is also an actor and we met through like Disney Channel, like we met when we were fifteen, so they all understand your life. Yeah, everyone gets it. And I mean it's also LA, so people see celebrities there, and
I feel like it's kind of interesting. I feel like they aren't faced by celebrities in LA either, you know, like it's not like hey, it's like hey, we know that's good. You're so good. She's so good. She got a good family, got a good career. Your friends are good. Yeah, you got the guys are gonna start coming more correctly in your dms. It's all working out, it is. And then ten years from from now, Coco, what are we looking at? Ooh? I
live played this game because I want to think about my life. Okay, let's think about your life. I'll be a amazing singer by then in ten years will because you'll start practicing. What was the hill was that? I don't know that. That's not good for that very dark energy. That's bad. That's good. People think that's good for you. No, that's not good for your vocal cords. Tell me what? Tell me what you want to know? Something else that's very surprising. He is not good. Really,
it's a dehydrant. I didn't know that myself. I was mortified and sad. I had no idea. Yes, so many people drink what about coat? That's what I know you're I know. I was also shook. So what do you actually throat? Coat? Is a lot of people. It's herbal, it's herbal, no capping, yes, green please, Sorry, I'm on that yack I want to say, but no, actually he is a dehydrant, most of them except the herbal one. So it was pretty sad. Oh that's what I have verbal tak Okay, your life will
not be affected by So I'll be an amazing singer in ten years. Well, if you stopped doing that little growl, I think you're well on your way to something decent. Ten years, I um hmm. I definitely will have put out multiple albums and multiple films. So I feel like I will be a household name, yes, talking, talking, yes, which I think equals a level of respect on my name that I really want. I want that creative control in that respect that I feel Beyonce has that. I
feel Rihanna has that. Anything their name is associated with. You know what you're getting. You know it's going to be excellent. You're gonna want to see it. You're gonna wear hear it, wear it, whatever it is. You know what you think consistency and a level of quality with your consistency every time, showing up and showing out every time. Yeah, I agree.
I think people get caught up sometimes with like the quick fix or the quick kids, so the good a lot of numbers or all that stuff, and then you put out stuff that's for that, Yeah, as opposed to the thing that's going to elevate you. Absolutely. I think if it was up to me, I would choose longevity way more than I would choose numbers and fame like that has nothing because it can come and go and then what am I gonna do in my life? This is all I know, So
I'd rather be doing this. Are you trying to have like fashion? I mean like like cosmetic lions and products and all those things will be attached to some products, Okay, okay something. Yeah, I was gonna you're trying to hit a billion at some point. I mean, I'm not gonna say no because you just mentioned Beyonce and Rihanna. I didn't do that. Yeah, I did say you were very specific, So yeah, definitely a Coco Jones something. Put it in your shopping cart. Eventually. By the way,
whatever you're buying, whatever you're selling, I'm buying. Okay, we're gonna start with something to clear that throw. I've had enough of her jaws. Everybody. That was so much fun. Okay. I didn't even look at none of the notes. I want to make sure there wasn't anything that we were supposed to talk about that we didn't fast. I didn't. I watched videos sped out because I like to hear people talk really fast, get to the point really fast. And the way you were talking this now,
it was really fast, and I lived for it. Really, So every interview like this interview, like you'll watch this interview back, Yeah, I'll watch it in two X because I want to know how I was looking at how I was talking about. I don't want to take the time to watch it and slow because it takes too much time. You talk really fast, ste if you want. Well, now I'm doing it on purpose, but I found myself. Okay, But if we do if we do this,
let's just say this, let me put this out there for you. If we do an interview, if we finished interview, if we do it, really fast, and we talk really faster than the interview and the when you're watching a double speed, well then I would it would technically be for X and I would live with that even more because that's faster. That's the fastest way to watch. I wish they had. I wish they had a faster
speed. Really, I really do. I've googled it. You watched TV shows like this though, yeah, because I'm like, let me get this entertainment, but I'm also trying to eat this plate, so let's go and I have things to do. But you miss out on some of the new ones because the little things that happened, like the little well sometimes if it's really funny, all re wind because I'm like, that was hilarious. I want to see that again. Slow emotion or I'll be like, what did
he just say? Not so emotion? Actually regular motion would be slow motion for you. Yes, yes, unless it's like this is a purpose we had the movie theater Corney shut the hell up and watched this in a normal way, and I'm just like fine with it. I trained myself. Your brain is definitely going out over time if you're watching everything like that all the time. Oh girl, you should hear my audio books that is giving Bust of Rhymes. I was like, this is a damn shame. Nobody here.
You should google Angie Martinez Bust of Rhymes. Uh, you know I did that first when it first came out. No, no, when it first came out, I was like the first one to do it. No. Yeah, it was like a viral thing. Bust have just did the thing about it. He talked about me doing it and it was like first thing. But it was super fast. But if we watched that in double speed, now, how amazing that would be. I'd be hilarious. Can
you do it? No, you can't do it. Every time I come around with the un I was gonna be, oh, wait let because I'm a running nothing like I gotta get a wait wait away. But I know that I know, and I want to stop. You know, I gotta win every day day and I just really want to pop me. He just know that you want to stop me. And I'm gonna we a little guy about You're never gonna stop me every time I'm going to go and I gotta
get it. I gonna point I gotta shut it. It was an eye contact that the eye contact was really amusing, and then you were keeping me there. I was like, come on, come on, keep up with me. I'm here for you. If you ever decided to do that live, well, okay, we'll back you up. Thank you,
