• 1:02
  Speaker 3: How you feel?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I feel good, I'm a little sleepy. I'm not gonna lie.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: You look good.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Everybody talks about your physical appearance and how you lost weight.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: But to me, I see somebody that has changed mentally
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: and spiritually. I see somebody that's on a healing journey
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: because you got to glow about you.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. Well that's where it starts.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: I think I had to start with, you know, cleaning
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: out my mind and my energy and clearing out all
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: of the negativity around me. And I feel like I
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: released so much I was holding on to and then
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: it starts to manifest physically as well. Like that's why
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: I don't call it a weight loss. I do call
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: it a weight release because it started. I got snatched
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: here first, and then my body just followed suit.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: So I do feel amazing.
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: I feel like I've always been in a good place
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: because I'm always a positive person. But I think that
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: I was not aware of just like how much toxicity
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: has started.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: To kind of come around in my life.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: And I had a really beautiful period of isolation and
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: clearing of that energy. And now I just feel like, oh,
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: I was holding on it so much.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: You gotta let go. It's hard for me.
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: I'm a tourist, so I'll hold I'll hold the fuck on. Yeah,
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: hard headed, stubborn, loyal, you know so. But I'm so
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: glad you feel that it's an aura thing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can definitely tell me, he said. Pilates helped
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a lot with it too, right.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: I started out with pilates, yeah, because my back was
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: hurting and that was the best way to get moving.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: But I do a lot of things. I strength train,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: Yoga, sculpt I hike, I played pickleball, I got a
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: water bike.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You know, a little bit you just Pilotates was one
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of the best. I did pilates with my daughter.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Wait, you do PILATEI yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Wanted me to go with because I didn't want to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: go at first, but it was you know, you do
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: some stuff with your daughter.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I did it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: She's twenty one, twenty three, and she took me to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: do pilates and it was the most amazing thing. All
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: my aches, all my pains, he was able to stretch
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it out. It was it was I'm the only guy
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in there, damn.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: Which is crazy because Pilates, that's a man. His name
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: is Joseph Pilates. A man created it and is designed
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: to help you with longevity. So he lived to be
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: like well, I mean, I think he passed away in
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: a house fire, but he could have lived to be
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: like two hundred years old.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Just got changed the music a little bit. Sometimes that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: music is just don't.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Be funny, stuff that motivates you to keep doing it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: Sometimes need a little I want to hear trap music.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: Some trap pilates is crazy. You better trademark that for
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: somebody taking in Atlanta.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: One of our friends, Weezy do that fitness we Need
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: New York that does.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: From the Decision of Decisions podcast.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: She has an actual place called trap House Fitiness and
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: that's what they do.
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: But is it called trap plates Because I'm a branding girl,
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: I'm a trademarked that this.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Trap house fitness. I don't know that's cool.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Well, okay, it's not taken. It's a billion dollar idea.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: You've always had a form of self love that people
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: can see, but I feel like it's just.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: More radical now.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it has to be. I have to
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: fight for it a little bit more, but I think
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: I always have to fight for it though. Actually I
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: just think it's just like, as your life changes and
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: different things happen to you, you gotta you know, move differently. Yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: I think it's just a life thing. Like you can't
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: handle every situation in your life the same you get older,
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: you grow up.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Everybody can relate to that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: I'm glad you said that because people think radical self
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: love is a constant state, but no, you gotta fight for.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: It every day.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: I don't love myself every day when I wake up,
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Like some days I do wake up and I'm like, yes,
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: But some days I wake up and I don't. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: it's it's the act of seeking that, you know, love
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: for yourself, and you don't actually always have to be love.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: It could be like it could be tolerate, you know
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: what I mean. I'm just or accepting that I.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: Don't like it, and I'm cool with that, but I'm
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: gonna get there one day. It's it's not a monolist,
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: you know, it's a process.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: At what point in your career did you get to
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: this point where like you even like talk about that
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: side of it more, Because I feel like when you
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: first came out, even when you did talk about like
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: stuff that wasn't as positive, you still kept it so positive.
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: But now that you stream, you really get into like
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: how you feel for real, what you're going through, you like,
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: and it was a lot more protected when Lizzo first
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: came on the scene. From what I felt like, the
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: brand was protected a little bit more. But now you're
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: taking control over a lot more.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: I just think people know me a little bit more.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: So I think I'm able to communicate things and not
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: put a bow on it or have a happy ending
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: because y'all just know me more. I think when I
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: first came out, people didn't know me. So the brand
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: is very like one note because it's like, oh, that's
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: that girl, that's the happy girl who'll be working with
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: the flu, you know. And but that happens to everybody,
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Like any artists, you just become like a thing, you're
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: not a person. But I think the more we get
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: to know artists, and the longer they're in the game,
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: the brand becomes more multifaceted. And I think mine just
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: expanded a little bit more. So I feel more comfortable communicating.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: And also I feel safer on stream talking about these
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: kinds of things because I know I'm in a room
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: with people who get me. Y'all understand me, you know me,
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: so I can tell you how the fuck I'm feeling
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: or what I went through, and you know, these real
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: moments that I have, I can share that, and I
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: arge you you were saying that people are kinder there
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: as well, like it's a better sense of community on
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Twitch and streaming that that's good. When did you were
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: you scared to before? Were you scared to dive into
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: that part?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: I always kind of flirted with it because I love
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: like running my mouth and I love talking and I
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: love talking to my fans. I've always been this person
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: like with my social media. So I had a whole
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Twitch set up in my house, just ready to go,
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: and I was like, I was like, I want to
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: whole stream is set up now, I want games, all
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: of that, the sims, and it was just in my
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: house sitting there, and I was kind of intimidated by it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: I would walk by it every day and be like
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: these days, I'm a stream one of these days. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: then I remember my friend Solana. She was like, bitch,
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: I'm about to be on kay Sanat like pull up
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: with me. And I was literally I was like when
• 7:12
  Speaker 6: she was like in two hours, I said, okay, let
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: me get myself together and like go pull up with
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: my friend, Yes, okay, but my friends Silana, A lot
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: of people might not know you're talking ton I know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: you know, but the average person might night.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: I just like average people might not know that cause
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: casually talking about I am so sorry the track. So
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: Sissa hit me and was like, I'm about to be
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: on kay Sanat in like two hours, can you pull
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: up with me? And I was like, fucky, I'm gonna
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: pull up with you because I'm like, I was so
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: afraid because it's like he has like hundreds and hundreds
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: of thousands damn near million people watching and commenting in
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: real time. Oh god, that's terrifying. So I said, you
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: know what, I'm gonna pull up and I'm gonna ride
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: with my friend. And I was like, if anybody got
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: any thing that coat would say though saying about me,
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: goddamn it, you know. So I pulled up and I
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: had so much fun and I was reading a chat
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: and they were like yeah.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: W Lizzo, yeah, W Sizza, yeah, littlely.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Motes and shit, and I was like, oh, they're so nice,
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: and that made me feel comfortable with diving into my
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: own channel. I made Lizo be twitching and Kai got
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: me like forty thousand subscribers in like two seconds. He
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: was like, everybody, go spam Lizzo be twitching right now,
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: and they all followed it, and I was like, Okay,
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: now I have to stream because they just gonna be
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: sitting in there, you know, building a cachet.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: So that really helps?
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: Would you say, absolutely, I have to run my mouth.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: I'm a life path three, I'm a communicator. So therapy
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: was the beginning of that. Like that saved my life,
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: being able to talk to somebody once a week and
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: just run my mouth and figure out my issues. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: I feel like when I communicate, when I write music,
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: when I sing songs, when I go on tour, when
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: I talk to people, it is very healing and it's
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: very connecting. I need to connect to feel good. I
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: can't be disconnected. I go actually insane, I learned.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: You mean you can't be disconnected from people.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't be disconnected from people. I go insane.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: So at a point where you said you had to
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: step back and isolate, that was kind of hard for
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: you too, since you had to, I mean, I know
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: you had to do it, and it all, you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: made sense, and it made since in the end, but
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: it still was challenging for you because you have to
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: be connected to people person It was a little insanity,
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: but I think in a little period of insanity can
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: be helpful because you have to do really hard work.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: And I was at a point in my life where
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: the Internet hated me and I could not trust the
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: people around me, like friends, family, co workers, and I
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: was severely depressed, and so I didn't have anyone to
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: talk to. And I sat in that and I went crazy.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: But I spent time with myself, which I think I
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: was always afraid to do. I know people who are
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: like I just need to be alone. I just need
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: to go to the park and be by myself and
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: read a book. I'm like, what's not without a buddy,
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: not without a sweet treat in a conversation. But when
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: I finally did it, I was so afraid of feeling lonely,
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: and I pushed past that, and it's like, you can
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: be alone and not lonely, and you can sit with
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: yourself and find out who you are now because you've
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: grown up and you didn't check in.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: You know and.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Love her or like her, or just know her and
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: know what she wants and now I feel like I
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: know who I am. I know whose I am and
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: can't nobody shake that. Because once I reintroduced myself back
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: into connecting with people and friends and trusting the Internet,
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: and you know, I'm like, I know who I am.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: I move with a different kind of confidence.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: But why the Internet though, Because I say that, you
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: say the Internet hates you, But you can leave your
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: house and lizzle. Everybody wanna take a picture, you do
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: a show. Everybody gonna come to your show and be
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: cheering for you. So why the Internet? You know, is
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: people that love you wouldn't be little if people didn't.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that. That's the wild part.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: I have a lot of my uh in the beginning,
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: a lot of my career and my validation was based
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: off of social media.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Like I was one.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: I was a part of that first generation of artists
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: who really like galvanize their following on social media because
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: that wasn't like an industry standard.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Even people don't.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: Even realize it's because we've been microwaved by the Internet.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: We don't realize how far we've moved in a very
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: short amount of time. Like pre twenty fifteen, this social
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: media was not even a conversation in labels. But there
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: were people like me and little nas X and people
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: like that. We were going online and we were just
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: like talking to our fans like direct and galvanizing them
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: and building a community.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: And so all of.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: My love because I'm not always on tour, I'm not
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: always really a people like I be in the house.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of boring.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: So all of the love and like we love you,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: like you're amazing, like this is good, we fuck with
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: you was all from the internet for me, and that
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: was fine because I had built my community and I
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: felt very safe with that, and then that all kind
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: of changed, and I feel like the Lizzo that I
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: am has always been truly me, and it was wild
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: to see that, Like you reach a point of fame
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: where somebody can change that just by saying something about
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: you that's not true or whatever. Yes, but that's that's fame,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: Like that is the definition of fame is for me
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: is people could say things about you that aren't true
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: and everyone will believe it, of course, for better or
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: for worse.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: It's like Lizo got red toilet paper on her ride.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: Everyone will believe that. Like that's that's weird, Like that's
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: just fame shit. So once that all changed, I started
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: to I believed that I was loved because the Internet
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: told me they loved me. And when the Internet hated me,
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: I believed that I was hated and I didn't believe
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: like so it was really weird. And when I isolated,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: I was really afraid of people. And there was this
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: and there was I always say a concert, but it
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: was renaissance.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: It was like a concert in a park in la
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Renaissance, shout out beat, and I was like, I have
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: to go. And I was so afraid to go because
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: I just thought people were gonna, I don't know, throw
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: tomatoes at me or something. I could get really self
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: doubting in my head. But I pushed through and I
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: went and I promised you. Like I it was like
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: one person. Once one person recognized you, then like other people.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: So one person recognized me and they were like litzen
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: and I was like, yes, I love you, come here
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: and they hugged me.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: And then I got a video of it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: You were in the crowd.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: I was in the crowd, babe. I'm not in no
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: sweet I was not in those sweet are renaissance. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: was where the people are.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Thing. Yes, she was definitely. You were definitely like that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I saw you in.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: The mall that day, and it was it was like
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: a chain effect. People weren't noticing, but she was kind
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: of timid with you. She was like, oh hi, And
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: my buddy caught my friend Coy. I was like, he
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: was like I just saw this. I was like, I
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: want to meet her, and then he was like, I'm
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: gonna take you over there, and I was like, oh
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: my god, I'm scared to meet you, and you look.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Just as scared. I'm like, I get lizo.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Then other people noticed.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Then other people walking past notice, then the little girl
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: noticed with her dad, and you got love. But you
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: did seem like you were in a place where you
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: didn't even know how to accept it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: At the mall, yep, I was really uncomfortable because I
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: was like, I don't know what people are like thinking
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: about me, and that shit fucks me up really bad,
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: because if somebody's thinking something about me that's not true,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: and it's like I can't prove it, I can't, you
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: know what I mean, It's just weird.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: I was like uncomfortable.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: So at the concert at Renaissance, people were just showing
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: me love and hugging me and being like we got
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: your back, like you know, shake that shit off, we
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: love you. And I'm getting emotional now even thinking about
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: I just started crying.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: I was crying and I was.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Hugging them, and I was like, you know what, this
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: is where real love is. You cannot get this shit
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: off the internet. You cannot get this kind of love
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: from the internet. It's the only the only kind of
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: love you can get it like, this is in real life.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: And that I was like, I have to make an
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: album about this. And so my album Love and Real
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: Life Is started from that experience, and I started to
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: rediscover what real love feels like, and what real connection
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: and real community feels like.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And now I know I.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Can still get love on the Internet, but I also
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: can curate it, and I can weed out the real
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: from the fake. I can differentiate. Now I don't just
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: believe everything, you know, I really actually at this point
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: don't believe anything I see on the internet.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Seeing so much stuff about yourself. Even before that time, yeah,
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: you were like, what that's just not true.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: And I'll see things about my friends that's not true,
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: and I'll be like what you mean, like with them
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: right now, like that's not happening.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: But you got to remember, nobody cares about the truth
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: and the lives more entertaining.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: As long as you know that, you wouldn't pay.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: This sh Also, the mess is more entertaining. They don't.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: They don't care about the.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: For it right.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: We reward people who do that, give them thousands of
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: dollars for these chats that are fake, and we don't
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: punish them.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: There's no penalty.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say to the red toilet paper will
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: be fire. You said that, and that shit been stuck
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: in my head.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I just think got black toilet paper. I never seen
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: no red toiler.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Red would be fire.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: But you can't see nothing.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: You can't see.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: And I'm on my message right now. I don't want
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: to take I just made something I don't need that.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I was gonna ask what puts you into that light?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Like you know, usually you're a pop star, right, and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: usually when you meet pop.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Stars period, they come on black girl popstar.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of times that the assholes that stand office
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: you don't see them, but we see you so much.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: And every time somebody asked me about Lizzo if she's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: been to the breakfast club I met.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I was like, she's the nicest, she's cool, she's.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Down to earth.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: What puts you in that mind frame to say, I
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: don't want to be like that. I want to be this. Wait,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: because you were at them all by yourself.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: You were at the Charlemagne went to the consot last
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: night asking what he was sweet, but you were out
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: on the floor like you do.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Hey booze. Wait, okay wait. The first half of that
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: question was pop stars are assholes?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: You said A lot of times you see pop stars
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: are I don't want to say assholes, but out of
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the way, like you can't touch them. They feel like
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: they don't want to be next to their people. If
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you go back and look at a lot of pop stars,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you don't seem as personable as let's say you would be.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: That's interesting. I have a lot of.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: Sympathy for like, really really famous pop star people because
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: a lot of them became famous when they were teenagers.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: A lot of them started this when they were like nine,
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: And I can't relate to not to I'm just getting
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: it together and I'm a grown ass woman.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: When it happened to me you know what I mean.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: So, like that developmental stage where you're getting all of
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: this like weird love and validation from like strangers, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: you can get anything you want, and you know, your
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: comfort level starts to get real sensitive too, like people
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: open doors for you.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: People you know you have drivers pull up to you.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: You don't got to drive. You sixteen year old, don't
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: got a license because you've had a driver since you
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: were thirteen. Like the way you're gonna move through the
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: world is a little different than someone like me, who
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: you know pretty much all the way up until I
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: was twenty nine years old, was working at restaurants, working
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: at Raisin canes, like working at the mall, like playing
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: shows to like fifty people. One of my first shows
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: I ever played with my mom, nobody was there but
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: the sound engineer, and I still went the fuck, not
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: the fuck, but I still went hard even though the
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: only person there was the bartender and the sound engineer
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: in my mom, like you know I have, I had
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: of a different experience with the success that I have,
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: Like I was in I was with the people. I
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: would play festivals and then I would jump down off
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: the stage and just go to the rest of the
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: festival with everybody else, you know, So like when fame
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: happened to when I became famous, when it happens to you,
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: you know, it's strange for me because I feel like
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: I became famous in twenty twenty, which is weird, Like
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: after I won the Grammy. I don't think I was
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: famous in twenty nineteen. I don't think I was famous
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: in twenty eighteen. Yeah, I feel like twenty twenty when
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: I want to Grammy and then guess what happened?
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: I run to Grammy January.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: Guess what happened in March twenty twenty, Cause it's.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: Dooe for you though, because I think that's when a
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: lot of us needed like that, like just something light
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: and yeah, we're doing that all right in the Internet,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: and I think that's what it caught people so much.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: But maybe that's what put the box there too though.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: But at that time, we were all separated from each
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: other because there was a global pandemic, not because I
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: am famous and I need to be separated from everyone.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: So by the time we was able to be back outside,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: I still have my twenty eighteen twenty nineteen mentality. I
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: want to be where the people are. I want to
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: connect with everybody, like I don't want to be put
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: on no pedestal. So I think that's the difference. I
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: don't think it's a choice being like other pop stars
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: are allegedly assholes allegedly, and I don't want to be that.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: It's just like, this is just who I am, and
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: I think everybody should just like be yourself, you know.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Like I'm not going to change who I am just
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: because I'm famous.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Now, that's because when did you first realize that confidence
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: and healing weren't the same thing.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Damn, listen, you'll be with every day?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Why everybody were talking about fueh he want to be
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: all serious?
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Let me think that's a really deep confidence in healing. Well,
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: they're not, first off, just by definition, because I think
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: people can fake confidence.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: You can't fake healing.
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: Can't be fake healed, like, oh, you know you gotta
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: cut and it's like, yeah, I'm faking it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: You know that's a band aid. You're not really healed yet.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: With confidence, there are a lot of people who walk
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: around and they can pretend to be confident. And actually,
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: I think that's what confidence's intention is, is to be
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: used a little artificially, the fake it till you make it,
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: and then eventually you get there. Because my confidence, you know,
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: I had to force it and fake it for a
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: long time because I didn't grow up in a world
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: where they were like, you're beautiful and your body is beautiful,
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: and we like you, we like your personality. Yeah, you
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: watch anime and listen to rock music, we accept you.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: No, Like I was very like.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: Other and I think that I had to be like, no,
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: you are good enough, you are worthy of love. Your
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: body is beautiful, even when I didn't believe it. And
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: I think that that eventually, if you say something enough,
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: it can come true. You can manifest it, you can
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: create your reality. And I think I got there by
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: faking it. But healing, I think, is a little bit
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: uglier than confidence, and I think I'm still learning that.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: I don't think there's like a singular moment, but I think, man,
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: it's funny because you look back and you're like, all
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: these years of like telling myself, I love myself and
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: I'm beautiful, and can't nobody tell me about me? Da
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: da dada da, And then people can and you realize, oh,
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: all this shit wasn't even real.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: I was just telling myself this.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: I was faking the funk because if I really believed
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: that y'all wouldn't be able to take this from me,
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: y'all wouldn't be able to shake me. And then being
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: like walking through the world now and being like, man,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: this person just says something crazy to me.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: People be talking to me crazy. I'm so nice, and I'll.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: Be like, okay, cause I'm like, you know, I don't
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: need your validation, but okay, but now people talk crazy
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: to me, and I'll be like, hmm, but you know what,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: it's not even real. You're in pain, You're hurting for
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: you to say something to me like this. What did
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: I bring out in you? Did I make you feel
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: a little insecure for a second?
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Boo boo ah? I'm sorry, and I hope that I
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: hope it gets better for you.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: But you give a lot of people grace though, Like
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I've seen people have made it, cracked a joke or
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: said something, and then I'll see you do an interview
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: a couple of years later and you give them the grace.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Why do you feel like it's the right thing to
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: give grace instead of just give the middle finger a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: single fuck yourself?
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Because people are as kind to others as they are
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: to themselves. And if somebody is throwing hatred or or
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: saying something mean, just mean spirited about somebody just for
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: the sake of doing it. I can't imagine how you
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: talk to yourself. I can't imagine how you think about
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: yourself and treat yourself when no one's watching. And for
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: that I've already won, So I don't need to win
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: in real life and sit up and talk bad about nobody.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: I don't have anything bad to say about nobody. And
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: I've been dogged, I've been dog walked bad, and I
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: don't have any to say. I have nothing bad to
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: say because because I love the person I've become through
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: it all, and I think that's the real prize, that's
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: the real reward.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: What did you well? First?
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: On that note, does it get on your nerves though
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: that sometimes every single thing you do people still relate
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: it to like wanting to talk about you in certain ways,
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: like you were at the met Gala the outfit went off.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: Every headline, though, is about your weight loss and not
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: about how good you looked. And I think that that's
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: unfair And it happens a lot with you, does that
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: get annoying to you where it's like I can't move
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: around that, like people always want to talk about me.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Well, I signed up for it.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: I knew when you know, back in twenty fourteen and
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: big girls weren't wearing leotars on stage, and I said,
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: I'm about to put me on one of these Beyonce dance leotars,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: and I'm about to have big girls behind me wearing
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: them too, because I knew that my body would be
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: the focus of that conversation. And it was something that
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: because it was unavoidable, I either I could hide and
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: run from it, and people are gonna.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: Do it anyway. You know. It's like the big girl
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: wearing your arms out theory.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: It's like we know your arms big, whether you you know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: cover it up or not, we know your arms big,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: So either enjoy the outfit and wear your arms out
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: or cover your arms up, but we know what it is.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: So for me, it was just like I'm just gonna
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: run head first into it. What I didn't know is
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: that it would never go away. No matter how much
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: my body changes, It's never gonna go away. But I
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: think that I have to just like accept that and
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: I'm actually cool with it. It doesn't annoy me because
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: I look good, you know, and even when I was bigger,
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: I looked good.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: So it's like, say what you want.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: But there was always someone in the comments being like, yeah,
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: but she's still beautiful and she looks soft and face
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Card never declines.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: What about the time because I was reporting when all
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: the lawsuit stuff happened, and you didn't say anything for
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: a long time, like not at all, which those people
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: come out and say stuff. I was wondering the day
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: that it was dropped, how did you feel? What was
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: your thought process around that? Because you were in isolation
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: at that point, right.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: I was in Japan, Yeah, on a dream trip.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: A brough of fresh air or did you feel like
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: but the conversation is still there and it is hard.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's very hard because I was confused. I was
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: confused and I was a little like hurt. But I
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: was in Japan with it was my first time ever
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: being in Japan. I was with my best friend and
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: her kids and we.
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: Were at Hello Kitty World, and I'm like crying in
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: the car, but I'm like, Okay, wipe your tears and
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: go in there and have fun with the babies because
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: we had Hello Kitty World, and you only do this
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: once with these kids who've never been to Japan and.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: That's their dream.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: So I did a lot of balance in between that.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: But I'll tell you one thing about Tokyo. They don't
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: give it fuck.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: What's going on in your personal life and Tokyo they're
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: like a picture.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I'm like, okay, Like I had a great time, like
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: nobody's nosy in Japan, and I think being there was
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: God for sure, because though I was dealing with a
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: lot of inner turmoil and hurt, honestly in shock and confusion,
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: I was in this place that didn't reflect that or
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: throw that back at me. I had my first panic
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: attack when I came back to la for the first
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: time after everything the lawsuit had dropped and I was
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: in Japan for like a month and I landed in America.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: I had a panic attack in the car because as
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: I was walking through the airport, I was like, everybody
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: hates me, everybody's you know. I got in my head
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: and I got in a car and I like I
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: had this.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Like yeah, I had this like pressure on my chest.
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: Mind you, I've had anxiety attacks that feels different than
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: a panic attack.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: I had pressure on my chest. I said, something's really wrong.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: I couldn't use my limbs or my body, and I
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: was like I literally crawled to my bed and just
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: like broke down. I was like, what's happening to me?
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: And I talked to my doctor and was like, hey,
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: you got a panic attack?
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: And I think America, everybody want to know everybody's business here,
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: so I it's this weird almost like invisible. I'm not
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: a victim, so I don't want to say attack, but
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: it was like, you know, this pressure or this like
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: I don't know, it's like implied energy in America where
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: I'm like, oh I need to hide versus Japan, I
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: could be a Hello Kiddy world and everyone's like.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Right you were when somebody lies.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that when you started thinking people hated you. Because
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: I wondered, do you remember what the industry felt like?
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: What what social media even felt like? Before that lossuit, it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Felt very like.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Silly and lighthearted, and I had like a lot of
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: freedom to just scroll and I see nothing about me.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: And then I was on and I would scroll and
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: every like three scrolls it was, and I was like, oh,
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: we'd be like Liza, if I just see two z's,
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: my heart start raising. My scroll been pizza, but I
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: was like wow, and I just kept scrolling, So it
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: felt it felt.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: A little bit more hostile.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: But I'll say in general, I think the internet has
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: gotten more hostile for everybody, every like out of nowhere,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: Like it used to be so fun and lighthearted, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: now everybody is beefing and quarreling and dropping tea and
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: I'm just like, WHOA, when did this happen? But that's
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: when it happened for me, Like I was like, oh,
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: I have to get off. And so from I would
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: say October twenty twenty three to maybe even like April
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty four, I wasn't on my phone at all.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: I threw my phone.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: Away, Like I had my team post things for me
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: because I had to post about yiddie and I had
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: to post about, you know, little things I wanted to
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: share with people. I didn't want to completely disappear because
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: that's not who I am. But my team posted it
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: for me and I did not scroll. I did not
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: look at the internet because I was too sensitive. And
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: I think I don't think I could have handled it.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: And I'll also say this in reference to the lawsuit,
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: I would say, in light of all of the other
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: like high profile lawsuits that have been coming out comparatively
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: the allegations against me, I think, now we see we're
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: just like kind of ridiculous. You know, I cracked my
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: knuckles in the script club to me and mind.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: You, it was going to the strip club.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: It doesn't say that I did anything like I didn't
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: do anything to anyone in that strip just went to
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: the strip club. And then like being fat phobic for
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: firing someone for gaining weight, that just wasn't true.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: It wasn't true, but just larious, right, But that's why
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: nobody believed.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: It's like right, But but I also have to say,
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: like one of my fears is I don't want my
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: situation and my lawsuit to be an indicator on any
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: other that's going on. I don't want it to invalidate
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: any other actual because I will always stand for real
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: victims of sexual harassment and sexual violence and anything, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: I will always stand for them and ride for them.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: So I don't want what happened to me to kind
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: of invalidate anything else going on in the world. And
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: that was really important to me, which is why I
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: was quiet for a long time, because I still want
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: to protect victims side.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Does that not change you?
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: How does that not change.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Liz as a person? I did though, because now do
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you still go out with people? Do you still feel
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: as free?
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Do you?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Are you still the listeners?
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Baby? No? Baby? Yeah?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Because it changes you as a person. And is that
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: a good thing of bad?
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: I think it's an amazing thing. I am. You know what,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: God really loves me.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: I have to say that, and I feel like everything
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: that happens to me is God, and God is preparing
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: me for something that I don't even know about. But
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: I feel like I readied myself now as I feel
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: like a boss, like I feel like a better boss,
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: I feel like a better friend. I feel like I
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: know how to run a big operation, you know, because
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: mind you back to the pandemic thing. I blew up
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: in twenty twenty. In twenty nineteen, I had maybe four
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: crew members. I had one roadie, I had a tour
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: manager and two dancers. And then the world shut down
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: in twenty twenty and I blew up and I did
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: my first arena tour after being in isolation for two years.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: And I'm suddenly standing in a room with seventy eighty
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: people that I'm like, I don't I want to know
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: everybody's names.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: That works for me.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: And it was really weird, and I got a crash
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: course and being an arena level artist, a big artist,
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: like after literally being an indie artist for ten years
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: and being in isolation for two years. So by the
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: time I was running arena level operation, I didn't have
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: no practice in that, I didn't have no experiences, and
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: I learned the hard way how to be a boss.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: But I'm gonna be a better boss for it. And
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: I'm really proud of myself. Yeah, if you're on my payroll,
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: we're not going to the bar.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: We're not gonna have drinks together. You know what I'm
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: saying breakfast. But I got friends for that. I got
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: friends for that.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Okay, I got two friends, my best friend Alexo Derilo
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: from Ace Town. Shout out Houston, Texas and shout out Chante.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: I knew what So what do you how do you
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: decide like what's for the stage or what's for the public,
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: and what's secret.
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: Now hm hmm, there's a lot that's sacred. You know,
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: my my my parameter for what's for the world. If
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: you really love something, keep that shit a secret. If
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: you really love something, keep it a secret. If so,
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: there are things that I protect now that you know. Before,
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: I didn't think it of it as protection. I thought
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: of it as like, oh my gosh, like I'm keeping
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: something from my fans, I'm keeping something from the public,
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: Like I want you guys to see this, like you
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: should see this. Like I literally like the.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Term hard launched. That was me, you know, because I
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: was like, gosh, like love, like I want y'all to
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: see this. This is so beautiful.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: And then the world got two seconds of my relationship
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: and I was like, oh yeah, y'all know how to act.
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: I literally just I was looking to see I'm like,
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: she ain't posted him in a minute.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Y'all know how to act. You lost your privileges?
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so all, yeah, all that cute ship, all that
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: black love back in the vaults.
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, maybe I only saw the positive stuff because
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: I thought I saw a lot of people that I
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: was happy for you.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was that bad.
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: Because I was literally on my Instagram looking I'm like,
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: you know what minute people people.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Were really positive.
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: This isn't about like people, I do think that, you know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: I don't want to give nobody an opportunity to destroy
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: something good. And I found that it wasn't really necessarily
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: about my relationship that people did that. It was other things,
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: my other relationships where that happened, And I was like,
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: I don't even want to give you the opportunity, no shade, like,
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: no disrespect. I love everybody, thank you for being so cool,
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: but due to new management. But in my personal life,
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: I have to I have to protect this because I
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: saw so much get destroyed by lies and I didn't
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: want that to happen to my relationships.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: So it's very protected. Yeah, nobody acted up.
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: I don't want this clip to go out and people
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: being like, well, we didn't even say nothing wrong, Like,
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: because I know how the internet can be, they'll take
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: seven seconds and think that I'm saying something else.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: But it was more so out of it was preemptive,
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: But I've then you said it right something youself.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's that's simple. Yeah. Do you have any tear
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: jerkers on love in real life? We do.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: There's one song in particular that niggas had to leave
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: a room.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: It ran out. I said, I'm sorry. I had like, oh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna get sad even though it's not. I mean,
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: sometimes I feel that I wrote it. I lost my dog.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: I lost my dog and she was twenty years old.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: Can you see she left the malties Yeah, And I
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: lost her like in the thick of it December twenty
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: twenty three, when I was like at my most depressed
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: and then she left and I was like, mind you
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: twenty years Like she like a grandma to me, you know,
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: And that really broke me down.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: And I wrote a song about it. But it wasn't
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: just about Hookah. She said. I sampled her voice on
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: the song, but it was a lost in general.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: I lost my father very young, and so it was
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: a song about grief and death. And I was like,
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: don't put this on your album. Like I'm the happy girl,
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: I'm the positive spin and you know, I was like,
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: you know what, I owe it to myself, not just
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: to my fans or to myself to put a song
• 37:19
  Speaker 6: like this on my album.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: And so there is a moment in there.
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: It's called Phone to Heaven, and so that's a little
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: tear jerker, and there are some really raw emotional songs
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: on there, like I got a song called like a Crime,
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: and I think that you can decide what that song
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: is about when you listen to it. I'm really excited
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: for this album because I feel like as an artist,
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: everybody got into my singles, but they never got into
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: my albums. And my albums are so good, yeah, and
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: they're so well thought out, and I really want the
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: album to shine this time and not just oh my God,
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: a number one hit about Damn Time, because it's like,
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: my album don't sound like special, doesn't sound like about
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: damn Time, and because I Love You didn't sound like
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: truth hurts, you know what I mean. There were so
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: many other songs that show off like and these songs did.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: They show off my musical ability, but like I had,
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: I have such an amazing.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Catalog I'm so proud of.
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: So this time I want people to get into the album,
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: which is why I've been I've gone a little rogue,
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: you know, opposite of what the label once for me,
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: where I'm I'm service in music. I just dropped the
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: demo to U Steal Bad today. Actually, wow, look at
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: that timing. I dropped the demo to Steal Bad because
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: I like the demo more than the finished song. And
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: there's a there's an A and R process with music
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: that people might not be privy to, but you write
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: a song in a studio, the A and R comes
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: through and they go, okay, fix this, write this, rewrite this,
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: bridge the production needs to be more like this, and
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: you're like okay, and you sit in with the producer
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: and you work on it. And I've done that process,
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: Like About Damn Time took like seven months and there
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: were like a thousand versions. So it's still bad. We
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: did the same thing and by the time we were done,
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: was still bad. And this is this is this is
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: really how I feel, and I'm sorry to Atlantic Records.
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: But by the time I was done with Still Bad,
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: I was like, this is just another about Damn Time.
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: And I looked at Ricky Reid and I was like,
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: be real with me. I was like, does this sound
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: like About Damn Time? And he was like no, no,
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: and I'm like yeah, from a sonic level, it's different
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: instruments that take the lead. It's a different bpm, it's
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: a different key, it has it's more indie sleeves. And
• 39:42
  Speaker 6: I was like, I'm a trust y'all on this. I
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: started doing press and interviews for it, and everybody said, yeah,
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: it's like disco funk, It's like a disco funk, and
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: I'm like, no, it's not a disco funk song. Like
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: About Damn Time was disco funk. This is inde sleeves.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: But people don't fucking know that.
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: They don't know the difference. Music is about feeling. Not
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: everybody a music major had studied the theory behind no.
• 40:05
  Speaker 6: They just want to feel it. And it felt like
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: About Damn Time. And I should have followed my gut.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: But because for me, this album is rock and roll,
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: and the demo version of Steel Bad that I put out.
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Is very rock and roll. No shade to the other
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: still bad.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna let people decide which one they like more,
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: because they both my babies.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: One is just cuter.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: People who listen to your music they know why you successful, right,
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: But then you have some people who feel like you
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: were only successful because at the time.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: People were checking off boxes.
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: You're the black woman, you big, you know, diversity, all
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: of that type of stuff.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: What do you say to those people?
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: I would say that I created that lane. I don't
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: think people were looking for diversity. I was undeniable, and
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: that that created the trend of checking boxes. I don't
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: disagree that at a certain point we started checking boxes.
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: When it comes to checking a box of black, fat woman,
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: I'm a ride for that every time.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: I'm rooting for everyone black, and I'm rooting for everyone fat,
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: black and woman.
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: I don't care. You don't have to if you're.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: Not the most talented person in the world and you
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: got pushed through yay, because it happens to other people.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: All the time who don't look like that, and we
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: deserve it. Mm hmm. I am big. We talk about baby,
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: I'm big. I'm not the.
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: Biggest, so now, okay, I'm in a room full of
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: people I trust.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Right the internet is like Liz O skinny now I am.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: I am well over two hundred pounds, you know what
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. I'm five ft nine.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: In a different direction.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: I got double numbered pants on right now. But you're
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: trying to be.
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: No, okay, yeah, because I think you look amazing. I
• 42:02
  Speaker 7: think are you saying that you're bigger than what an
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: industry standard is because you're not. You are bigger than
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: what some people will determine the industry thing. But that
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: standard is like going, it's twenty twenty five people. I
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: don't even think that's next to any pop star right now,
• 42:15
  Speaker 7: Like I'm still bigger than them.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean?
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: You actually look normal compared to them. I'm just saying, oh,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: I hear you. Yeah, you look normal compared to it.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: But they look like.
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's what I mean, Like twenty twenty five
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: people want to see people that look like them and
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: that Yeah. But is it because a lot of my
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: friends that I that I talk to that are on
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: weight loss journeys, they have like a body dysmorphia thing
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: where they're never in a.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: Good place with themselves.
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: Did you experience that or do you deal with that sometimes?
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 42:41
  Speaker 6: I actually didn't realize how much my body changed until
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: I was filming the Love and Real Life music video.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: I was in shock.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: It shocked me because the way that I'm releasing Weight
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: has been a long, slow process, Like people maybe not
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: have seen me or been keeping up with me, but
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: I've been posting about it and I'm in a calorie deficit.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: So that's the one that sneaks up on you.
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: If you're in a deficit, for so long it eventually
• 43:09
  Speaker 6: you're just you're just shedding like half a pound a week,
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: you know, And then you look up and if it's.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: Been fifty two weeks, that adds up.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: So when I was filming Love in real life and
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: they put the outfit on me and I seen the
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: number size on the pants, I said, wait a minute,
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: hold on, Like, there's not a two in front of it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: That's supposed to be a two right there. Why is
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: that a one?
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: I was like, Okay, something has happened. You've crossed the threshold.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: Your body has done the thing. So now it's about
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: controlling that and making sure that it doesn't get out
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: of control. Because my mind will keep going even though
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: my body is like, hey, we're good.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: Because when I look in the mirror, I still see
• 43:55
  Speaker 6: me in twenty twenty three, I still see me at
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: a heavier weight. Thank God, I love myself because that's fine.
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: I think that people who really experienced the body dysmorphia
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: the most, they didn't like themselves at that size, and
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: when they look in the mirror and they see that person,
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: it's they get upset and it's not enough, and that's hard.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: But those people with the opposite that they missed that
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: weight because they were that weight for so long. Yeah,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: and it feels like that's not them anymore, like they
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: miss that.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Person and that I experienced that too. I'll say this.
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: Only my big girls who have released some weight are
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: gonna understand this.
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: How do I say this?
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: I felt, I say this is what I was lot
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: of crazy.
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, here we go.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: When I was bigger, I felt skinny. I felt skinnier
• 44:47
  Speaker 6: than I do now.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: When I was bigger. I'm not gonna hold you.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: When I was in my string bikini and I was
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: at my heaviest weight, I was like, skinny, bitch. And
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: that's when I realized, like, thin is a feeling. It's
• 44:58
  Speaker 6: not a look, and so is fat. Fat is a
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: feeling Like you've ever been around somebody thin and she's like.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Ah, so fat, I feel so fat today Because it's
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: a feeling. It's not real, you know what I mean.
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: Like society tries to tell you that it's real, and
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: the scale tries to tell you, but it's really how
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: you feel on the inside. So I felt skinnier then
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: than I do now.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm told.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: Because I get what you're saying, But if pounds, that's
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: more than just right.
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: No, and let's be real, yes, like there is like
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: a science behind it, like you know, there is an
• 45:35
  Speaker 6: aesthetic to it.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: But I also think that.
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: It We've seen where Jessica Simpson had on mom jeans
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: in two thousand and five and they were calling her
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: fat and she wasn't. So it gets misinterpreted in misconstrued
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: all the time. There are objective truths. You know, there
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: are people who are bigger, and I think that's and yeah,
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: we fat. I like calling myself fat.
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: I think it's a race component too, though, because if
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: Justice Simpson was black back then you'd be like, she thick.
• 46:03
  Speaker 6: You know, you're absolutely right. But that's a whole other conversation.
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: That's a ted talk we can get into. We can
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: get into that. I do want to racialization of beauty
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: standards and.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: How it was racist.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about it.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: Wait, what was your question gonna be?
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: Well, I was going to ask you, you know, what
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: parts of your identity did the industry try to monetize
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: or there I say, even exploit before you even understood
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: it yourself.
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I didn't know, because you know, I was being
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: myself and the industry is exploitative. That's that's its job.
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: Its job is to because I think it's an industry.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: There's car industries.
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: They're you know, getting a product out there, and they'll
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: exploit the workers to do that, you know what I mean.
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: So for me, I don't look at it as a
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: negative thing. I know that word is so crazy, but
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: it's like I was being sold. I was being packaged,
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: marketed and sold for being my self and that was
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: a weird that was a strange thing. I can't imagine
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: people who have to fake their brand because that would
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: drive me insane. I would be like, yo, dude, I
• 47:12
  Speaker 6: don't want to do this shit. No mo, I don't
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: want to be happy. I don't want to play the flute.
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: I don't want to be fat, you know what I mean.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: But you said, when did I realize it? Damn? I
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: think maybe even now.
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: I think when I'm starting to release weight, that's when
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: I realized it, because I remember I was. I was
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: talking to my trainer at the time and I was like, yeah,
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: I want to just like intentionally, like let go some weight,
• 47:41
  Speaker 6: like a little bit smaller.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: Da da da da da.
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: And he was like, oh, I'm about to fuck up
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: your brand? And I was like wait what. I was
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: like what does that mean? And I had to think
• 47:50
  Speaker 6: about that for a while, like and then and that
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: was when I was heavier and you know, X amount
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: of pounds down. Later I saw the backlash. People were upset,
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: and I was like, wait, what's happening? And that was
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: what he was talking about, and two things are happening.
• 48:12
  Speaker 6: The industry packaged and sold me and my fatness and
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: my joy and all of that and marketed it to people.
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: People saw themselves in that, but they also were just
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: like I don't know.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: How do I say this?
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: And being very respectful to my fans, because when it changed,
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: it was like you aren't that person, You're you're a liar.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: You know, you lie?
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: That wasn't real. I was sold, wasn't real. It's like
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: I got the I got the package, I got the product,
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: and then it was like always always works, and then
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: it stopped working.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: If you were so proud of it, why would you right?
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: And how do I say this?
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: But there are all kinds of issues, like you know,
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: like health issues, yeah, like that can I'm along with
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: obesity and things like being fat, and it's like why
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: can't I want to, you know, why can't I do
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: this for y'all bring more awareness to that part of it,
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: and then we'd go on this journey together.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: Y'all, my fans, y'all. You know, I'll say the only
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: way I was able to.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: Do what I've done and changed my body was because
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: I loved myself. I've never done anything healthy or positive
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: to myself out of hatred. I've been smaller than this before,
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: and I was starving myself. I wasn't eating, and I
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: was the most unhappy in my entire life, and I
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: hated myself the most at my smallest, So you know
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: what I mean. Like, I've also been heavier, and I've
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: hated some of that too, and I've also loved some
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: of that. It's just like it's just not one thing.
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: There's like so much nuance, and it's like, I'm a
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: human being, you know what I mean, And I'm living
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: in this body. You don't have to live in my
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: body for the rest of your life. I have to
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: live in yours. And people, I'll tell you one thing
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: about me, I'm always on the right side of history.
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: People gonna look back and understand because what I'm doing now, Gosh,
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: people gonna think I'm full of myself. But what I'm
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: doing now is fucking revolutionary, and it's pushing body positive
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: positivity forward, not because I've gotten smaller, but the way
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: that I'm talking about my body changing. Because what people
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: don't realize is in twenty nineteen, when I was talking
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: about body positivity over twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, I
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: had gain fifty pounds and I was talking about that
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: experience and talking about body positivity and how I loved
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: myself through it all. And now when I'm on the
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: other end of that, I'm not changing my tune. And
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: I think that would be fraudulent if I all of
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: a sudden changed my tune and.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: Said, ah fuck that. Yeah, I hated it, Haha. I
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: hate it being being gotcha.
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: You got bamboodle, bitch, run me like no, Like, I'm
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: going to be me through this entire process. And when
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: people look back on this, they'll be like, yeah, yeah,
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: she was right.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: That's why I started the interview off talking about your
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: mental health, and that's why I asked you the question
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: about confidence and healing, because you know, people can talk
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: all about the physical. The revolutionary thing about it to
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: me is what you have done spiritually and mentally.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, And it's a lot of work. And it's
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: a lot of work.
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: And that's why I can say I am the best
• 51:21
  Speaker 6: version of myself right now.
• 51:23
  Speaker 4: You know, there's people.
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: Like I said, like I said, I when I was
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: younger and I had like very disordered eating and I
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: was like really depressed and I was like really hard
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: on my body. I was very small. There's people who
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: look back at old pictures of that time in their
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: life when they were small and like, oh god, I
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: want to look like that again.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Oh that was it, honey.
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: If I could just go back to when I was nineteen,
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: I don't want to go back to her. That might
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: have been the worst version of myself sleeping in my
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: car and you know, going through it and running into
• 51:57
  Speaker 6: violent and dangerous situations. No, and not eating that that's
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: what Liz will be eating because you aren't.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Baby.
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: No, there's nothing cute about hurting yourself. There's nothing cute
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: about harming yourself. There's nothing cute about starving yourself. Like
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: and and now it's like, I am the best version
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: of myself, not because of how I look, even though
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: I may be heavier than I was and small, you know,
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: or heavy? What am I trying to say. I'm heavier
• 52:28
  Speaker 6: than I was when I was at my smallest, and
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: I'm smaller than I was and when I was at
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: my heaviest. But because I'm here, this is, this is,
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: this is what makes me the best version of myself.
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: And no matter how my body changes, I get pregnant,
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: I have a baby, my body gonna get bigger, my
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: body could get smaller.
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: Who knows. This is what's together? This is you know
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: what I mean? And this is the most important part.
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: And that's the part that I hope to my younger
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: fans and so people who follow me that they don't
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: just see my body changing and me being happy. I
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: hope they feel that it was mental work and it
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: was emotional work, and no matter how my body changes,
• 53:02
  Speaker 6: this is gonna be the most important thing to me.
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: Do you have real joy? No, because it feels like
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: you were being joyful as a form of protests or
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: maybe a survival tactic.
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: Maybe. Yeah.
• 53:18
  Speaker 6: I think that black joy in any form is resistance
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: in this society, and I think it's radical in this society.
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: I think seeing it from someone who looks like me
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: is even more radical. And because of that, y'all don't
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: see me ninety eight percent of the time like y'all
• 53:39
  Speaker 6: see me two percent of the time. And why would
• 53:41
  Speaker 6: I be miserable when I'm doing what I love? When
• 53:43
  Speaker 6: y'all see me, I'm doing what I love. I'm either
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: on stage, I'm shooting a music video, I'm doing an interview.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: I'm actually genuinely happy to be here, like I like
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: talking to y'all, you know. But then there's like a
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: whole other ninety eight percent where I may be in
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: a bad mood, or I may be you know, over it,
• 54:04
  Speaker 6: or you know, my stomach hurt, you know what I'm saying,
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: Like damn, Like I'm a human being, but that part
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: isn't shown to the world. But I do believe that
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: my joy is still a form of resistance, especially especially
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: right now, you know what I mean?
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: Where I mean always, we're in a system that doesn't
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: want to see us joyful, you know what I mean?
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: They police our joys so much, and I think that
• 54:28
  Speaker 6: my mission. I think everybody has different missions, you know,
• 54:31
  Speaker 6: to help us, But right now, my mission is how
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: do I help people find a community that brings them joy?
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: Because that's powerful.
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: I want to go back to the conversation that we
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: almost got into about the black beauty standard and the
• 54:45
  Speaker 7: difference with you being in the space that you're in.
• 54:47
  Speaker 7: I remember it was a long time ago, Jillian Michaels.
• 54:50
  Speaker 7: She came out and said something that the weight loss lady,
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: and people defended you so gravely because they felt like
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: she wouldn't have said certain things if you weren't a
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: black woman this way. I mean it was she talked about.
• 55:03
  Speaker 7: She basically said, why are we defending her weight? It's
• 55:05
  Speaker 7: not healthy? Is it going to be funny when she
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: gets diabetes? And she just went down the list and
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: people were like, well, hey, you're bringing out all the
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: things that happened to the black community more predominantly, so
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: they thought it was a race thing. And that conversation
• 55:18
  Speaker 7: happens a lot around you. When people try to attack you.
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: People feel like, if you weren't a black woman that
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: was doing I mean, yeah, if you weren't a black
• 55:24
  Speaker 7: woman doing these things, you would have a little bit
• 55:26
  Speaker 7: more grace or be propped up a bit more.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: Do you feel like that.
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: You know whose voice I listened to the less when
• 55:32
  Speaker 6: they have comments about me is celebrities. I really, I
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: never I don't care about other celebrities opinions on me,
• 55:39
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean. It's interesting because it's like
• 55:41
  Speaker 6: I care more about what my fans say about me
• 55:44
  Speaker 6: and think about me that matters. I never hear these
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: little trivial comments, and I only hear the apologies, you know.
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: But I will say, somebody's health is none of your business,
• 56:02
  Speaker 6: and I've always been on that, And it's like, we
• 56:04
  Speaker 6: only pretend to care about people's fat people's health so
• 56:08
  Speaker 6: we could be fat phobic to them. It's, you know,
• 56:11
  Speaker 6: being fat is the only acceptable form of bullying in
• 56:17
  Speaker 6: our society, if you think about it. We're taught from
• 56:19
  Speaker 6: kids from a young age to make fun of fat people.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: You watch TV and the fat dude, he's like, oh,
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: and then he falls over.
• 56:27
  Speaker 6: Trying to tie his shoe, and the kids are like,
• 56:29
  Speaker 6: you know, and you laugh in front of your parents.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Your parents laughing too.
• 56:35
  Speaker 6: But if it was anything else, your parents would be like,
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: don't laugh at that, you know what I mean. So
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: we are socialized to make fun of fat people, and
• 56:43
  Speaker 6: I think that some people pretend to care about fat
• 56:45
  Speaker 6: people's health to just make fun of them, you know,
• 56:49
  Speaker 6: in a weird backwards backwards ass way. I will have
• 56:53
  Speaker 6: so many things to say about this, but a lot
• 56:58
  Speaker 6: of people and I'm not gonna say this is not
• 57:00
  Speaker 6: a blanket statement, because I am actually terrible, and I
• 57:02
  Speaker 6: make a lot of blanket statements in the internet.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: Gets to my ass for.
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: It, I'm gonna say, systemically, in America, the majority of
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: fatness is due to things that are kind of out
• 57:17
  Speaker 6: of your control. Our food system is abysmal. Our food
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: system has so many invisible additives that have so much
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: sugar and caloric density and toxins, and it is it is.
• 57:37
  Speaker 6: How do I say this without getting political? I don't
• 57:39
  Speaker 6: want to sound like RFK, but like it's poisoning us
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: and in our communities too, in black communities at a
• 57:46
  Speaker 6: disproportionate level. There are food deserts, and the only the
• 57:50
  Speaker 6: only uh.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: What's it called? Uh? What's what's it called?
• 57:54
  Speaker 6: In the middle of a desert when it's like green,
• 57:56
  Speaker 6: the only thank y'all, come on, smart man. The only
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: oasis in the food desert is fast food, is snack, food,
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: is hot cheetos, It's bread forty d D D D.
• 58:06
  Speaker 6: So when I was a kid, I grew up in Houston, Texas.
• 58:09
  Speaker 6: A shout out to SWAT. I was in band rehearsal,
• 58:13
  Speaker 6: and when I got thirsty, I drank sprite. I would
• 58:16
  Speaker 6: chug this sprite and be like, oh, I'm so thirsty.
• 58:18
  Speaker 6: Oh my hot cheetos. Every day at lunch and then
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: our lunch, you're not gonna get a salad or a protein.
• 58:27
  Speaker 6: At school, at public school lunch, it was chick and tenders.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: Cheese, stuffed bread, whatever that was. I don't know what
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: the fuck that was. It was good, it was good.
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: And so like, this is what we've been given.
• 58:42
  Speaker 6: You know, a lot of people's fatness is genetic, you
• 58:45
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. So it's like and then there
• 58:47
  Speaker 6: are people who, like, you know, we contend to overeat
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: and stuff like that.
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: I'm not talking about that.
• 58:52
  Speaker 6: I'm not making a blanking statement about it, but I'm
• 58:54
  Speaker 6: like a lot of it is out of our control.
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: Back here in social media too, because people aren't the
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: activist they used to be so back in the day.
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: We play social media.
• 59:05
  Speaker 6: So it's like to sit up and just like criticize
• 59:09
  Speaker 6: somebody for being like, hey, this is how I look
• 59:12
  Speaker 6: right now, and you know what despite all odds, I'm
• 59:15
  Speaker 6: okay with that.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: That don't mean that I'm like, you know, being fat
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: is it? Everyone should be fat? No, it's just like, damn,
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: can a bitch like herself right now? Depressed? Right? And
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: if my body changes cool? If I get bigger, that's
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: none of your fucking business. If I get smaller, that's
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: none of your fucking business.
• 59:35
  Speaker 6: But can I like myself right now so I can
• 59:36
  Speaker 6: get through the day like you think, if I sit
• 59:39
  Speaker 6: and go I hate myself. Let me just change and
• 59:42
  Speaker 6: be skinny? Now, No, that's not how it works. So
• 59:45
  Speaker 6: it's like, y'all want us to be miserable, but for
• 59:47
  Speaker 6: what Because once I get small, you still not happy.
• 59:51
  Speaker 6: So it's like, shut the fuck up, disrespectfully.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: I like that.
• 59:58
  Speaker 7: Just for fairness of a conversation. She did, But the
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: U turn because the people jumped on her. She said,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: I should have separated her from the conversation.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: It's a that in there. But your point, by the way,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: exactly I was gonna say. You called it because it's never.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 6: Been pre diabetic and this is not me flexing my
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 6: health over nobody. But this is just me saving the facts.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 6: Don't ever put diabetes on me, I've never been pre diabetic.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 6: My father had type two diabetes, and it's like and
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 6: when he passed away, I had from a young age.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: She passed away when I.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 6: Was nineteen twenty actually, oh my gosh, it was so
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 6: long ago, but actually I'm twenty two. But when that
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 6: happened to him, because he had hypertension and high blood
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 6: pressure and type two from his eating habits. I have
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 6: always been a healthy person. Even though I was physically larger,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: I was very conscious about what I put in my body.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 4: I was very active. I would post.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 6: Videos of me in the gym, running on a treadmill,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: lifting heavyweights. People would buy tickets to my show where
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: I'm on stage for two hours, running back and forth
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 6: playing the flute, doing choreography, rapping and singing an emoting
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 6: and not being out of breath. Like I've always been
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 6: a very active person. I'm always be a very healthy person. Yeah,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 6: never been pre diabetic. Honey, mind your business. That's between
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 6: me and my doctor. And I'll get her on the
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: phone too.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: She loved to talk.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: She takes a sugar drink.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 6: No, no, I'm glad you said that. This is a
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 6: this is a black coffee. And then I put in
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 6: half a vanilla protein shake, so actually there's no sugar
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 6: in this. It's it's because it's half of it. It's
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 6: about ten grands of protein and the coffee is black.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 6: There's no sugar in this at all.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Shut up business.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 5: Like I said, I got one last question because Lauren's
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: stomach is overhead.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: And crazy last night and like I'm literally just coming
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 7: down from all the last night I went to drink.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: It was so good, So over.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 5: Here holding my stomach, boys crowding. But my last question,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: is there a version of lizzle we haven't seen yet?
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: And are you afraid to shure?
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 6: I'm not afraid, but I am protective. I think protection
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 6: can be fear based. Sometimes a lot of people, like
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 6: a protective mother is like, oh I'm afraid something might
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 6: happen to my child. Let me be overly protective. So
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 6: sometimes there's a like if y'all saw how I really
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 6: you know am? Sometimes like when I'm working, I feel
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: like people wouldn't understand, and it's like because I'm a
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 6: very hard worker, I actually am.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: Like ask anybody in this industry.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 6: They're like, she wanted the hardest working, And I think
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: the because I'm fat like the trope of oh she
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 6: lazy or whatever comes in and I get that put
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 6: on me, and so people don't put me in the
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 6: category of the hardworking divas that we all know and
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 6: love today. But I work very hard, and I don't
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 6: show that side because you get to just enjoy the show,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 6: you get to just enjoy the product. But though I
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 6: work hard, I'm very kind to the people who I
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 6: work with. I'm very measured, I'm very fair. But it
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 6: gets real, it gets real, And that's why I like
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 6: that whole doughchy situation.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 4: I have to.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 6: I have to, like nobody knows what it feels like
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: to be in a situation like that where it's so
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 6: intense and the it's your first met and you are
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 6: trying to do your best, and it's like to judge
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 6: black women for working hard. I don't like this new
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 6: this this new I don't know what it is, this
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 6: new misconception or misperception of black women who are working
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 6: hard for what they want where it's getting demonized, you
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 6: know what I mean? And what I also have been
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 6: seeing is us as a community stand up for the
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 6: black women who are in this field, Like there's not
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 6: a lot of us really at the top of this game,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 6: and it's like, we really have to work seven thousand
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: times harder than our counterparts to get shit done.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 4: And we're working actively against the system of people, you know,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 4: and then.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 6: The the things that get projected on us, you know,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 6: the personalities that get projected on us like that.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: We have to overcome that too and subvert that.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 6: So it's like, yeah, you don't see the hard working
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 6: side of me, But I gets busy. My hairstyle is
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 6: back there like bitch me and my agent like when
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 6: do you stop? He like, I work with my other clients.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 6: I at least have a time to go get a cocktail.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: You.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 6: I've been working NonStop since I got here. I've been
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 6: doing radio interviews. I did the met, I shot a
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: music video after the met that night and still managed
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 6: to change my outfit and go to the after parties
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: and turn up. Then I had radio the next morning.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: Then I turned up again. I did had radio yesterday.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 6: I have a cover shot, a cover sh yesterday. I
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: gotta cover shoot today. I'm out here working.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: And came in here with the best energy.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 6: You don't really tired. You didn't sound tired. We didn't
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 6: know I didn't know you were tired til you said it.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: You know, I got a show. I got two shows,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 6: all in New York. And it's just like, because I
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 6: love this shit, I loved I love to work, But
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 6: I'm not gonna pull back the curtain and show. There's
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 6: other artists who do that, Like Beyonce pulls back the
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 6: curtain for us, and we see her work ethic and
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 6: I respect that and I love that, and I'm like,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 6: exactly when I see how she works when she put
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 6: that black hoodie on, I'm like exactly, because that's how
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 6: the fuck I get down too, down to the lighting,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 6: down to the timing, down to the sounds and the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: sonics of the music. We put that fucking work in
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 6: and the and we don't show y'all because you're gonna say, oh,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 6: she's a bitch, like black women, especially, oh she's a bitch.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: So it's like, we don't even want to show y'all
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 6: because y'all are gonna judge us.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 4: But we need.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 6: But I love when Beyonce does it because it puts
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 6: respect on it.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: That's how we get down.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 6: So that that part, I'm not gonna pull back the
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 6: curtain because I already got enough falligations against me.
• 1:06:01
