- 3:57Speaker 1: important R and B album in twenty twenty four.
- 4:00Speaker 3: I haven't heard yet. You got a point.
- 4:12Speaker 1: That's cool. I want to believe I sent him at
- 4:15Speaker 1: least a couple of pieces, and you did. You got
- 4:17Speaker 1: them to.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Just be wondering why they're taking so long, like you've
- 4:22Speaker 4: been sitting on this album for a while.
- 4:25Speaker 1: It's called being independent.
- 4:27Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 4:28Speaker 1: It's called money up, money down, being grown, and dealing
- 4:31Speaker 1: with seven lawsuits getting in the way of all kinds
- 4:35Speaker 1: of ship that I wanted to do. But we're here
- 4:38Speaker 1: now and now Envy is leaving.
- 4:41Speaker 2: We just seen Daniel in the hall y'all talking about
- 4:43Speaker 2: Teddy Pendergrass. That's going to happen.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Bumper mother, that's crazy hurting them for that. He had
- 5:01Speaker 1: that motherfucker in the I cloud.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Talking last night and he said, he said, man might
- 5:09Speaker 3: come on the tail and Lee.
- 5:11Speaker 6: Wait, hold on, wight on, hold on, I must, I
- 5:19Speaker 6: must say that the first part is bullshit, the second
- 5:23Speaker 6: part is true.
- 5:23Speaker 3: Wait.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I said, this is what I said, and I had
- 5:26Speaker 1: I announced. I ain't saying with the compart. This is
- 5:29Speaker 1: this nigga put it in on. This is what I
- 5:31Speaker 1: did say. I said, hey, man, I might have to
- 5:34Speaker 1: pull up on the tail end of the Lee Daniels
- 5:37Speaker 1: interview because y'all gonna be interviewing him. Right before I
- 5:41Speaker 1: heard what I said, I said, Paul, I said, hold on,
- 5:47Speaker 1: he don't give a nigga, let's move on. I thought
- 5:50Speaker 1: you didn't have no time do so you want to
- 5:52Speaker 1: stay here for the gay conversation. You want to stay here.
- 5:56Speaker 1: So so all of a sudden, CARDI B Is loaded.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I gotta don't matter because you don't want to hear
- 6:02Speaker 1: details off the tail end on. I heard you talking
- 6:07Speaker 1: about movie. Nobody else was there.
- 6:11Speaker 2: That's true, and you were you were talking about you.
- 6:14Speaker 2: You were saying, make sure that you know you you
- 6:16Speaker 2: you really want to do that movie, So to break
- 6:18Speaker 2: that down, is that gonna happen?
- 6:19Speaker 1: So, So what I explained to him was Lee Daniels
- 6:22Speaker 1: was born and raised in Philly. All right, he was
- 6:25Speaker 1: here with arjor Day, my fellow Capricorn. And Lee has
- 6:30Speaker 1: a specific commitment to telling stories from the legends and
- 6:34Speaker 1: icons from the ground to Philadelphia. All Right, I'm not
- 6:37Speaker 1: gonna be disparaging because we ain't finna get no more
- 6:40Speaker 1: calls about Oh he said this about truth be told. Uh,
- 6:46Speaker 1: there was a lawsuit filed and I did not win
- 6:49Speaker 1: the lawsuit, or not not win. I did not have
- 6:53Speaker 1: the lawsuit to work in my favor because I've been
- 6:57Speaker 1: on this journey to do Teddy Pendergrass for literally fourteen years,
- 7:01Speaker 1: long before Teddy married his current widow. Right, And again,
- 7:06Speaker 1: I have still respect for her. But when you're doing
- 7:09Speaker 1: a film with someone who does not have any experience,
- 7:14Speaker 1: respectfully in Hollywood, they don't know the process of writing
- 7:16Speaker 1: and rewriting and trying to figure out like how do
- 7:19Speaker 1: you tell the best story? You cannot do a Teddy
- 7:21Speaker 1: Pendergrass movie that has him quadriplegic for the whole movie
- 7:25Speaker 1: because nobody's gonna watch that movie. The movie was never
- 7:28Speaker 1: cradle to the grave, meaning from the moment he was
- 7:30Speaker 1: born to the moment he passed. And his wife, who
- 7:35Speaker 1: is incredible. I've seen her passion and love for this man,
- 7:39Speaker 1: which is why I don't want to be disrespectful.
- 7:41Speaker 3: But.
- 7:43Speaker 1: She was in his life, you know, the last four
- 7:46Speaker 1: years of his life, and the movie that myself and
- 7:49Speaker 1: Lee Daniels wanted to tell did not include that piece
- 7:53Speaker 1: of life that they had together. It was from this
- 7:57Speaker 1: period to that period, and that's the movie and the
- 7:59Speaker 1: story that we wanted to tell. And I don't think
- 8:02Speaker 1: anybody would would like you know as much as I
- 8:05Speaker 1: know and want to do as an actor. When Lee
- 8:08Speaker 1: Daniels in the driver's seat, as a genius that he
- 8:11Speaker 1: is as a filmmaker, he is, even I knew how
- 8:13Speaker 1: to shut the fuck up and get out the way, absolutely,
- 8:15Speaker 1: Like I was not involved in the day to day
- 8:18Speaker 1: of the script, in the process. Because you don't want
- 8:19Speaker 1: to piss Lee off for making him feel like you're
- 8:22Speaker 1: micro managing the process. Nigga, am I here to do
- 8:25Speaker 1: what I'm here to do? You show up and you
- 8:27Speaker 1: ready to do teddy? Okay? So at the end of
- 8:30Speaker 1: the day, I didn't think it was fair, and it
- 8:33Speaker 1: all fell apart. Warner Brothers, Lee, Daniels, Tyres. This man
- 8:37Speaker 1: told me, you're the only person in the world that
- 8:39Speaker 1: could ever play me.
- 8:41Speaker 3: So what hey told you that person?
- 8:45Speaker 1: There's nobody else on this on this earth that I
- 8:47Speaker 1: would ever trust that. He said, you know, the reason
- 8:49Speaker 1: why you're gonna play me is because you never wanted
- 8:52Speaker 1: to be me. I can't stand motherfuckers out here trying
- 8:56Speaker 1: to copy me. You've sing your ass off and you've
- 8:59Speaker 1: been doing you this whole time, and I want you
- 9:02Speaker 1: and I know you the only one that could tell
- 9:04Speaker 1: the story, so as you could imagine if something or
- 9:07Speaker 1: anybody's getting in the way of that. And we got
- 9:09Speaker 1: to lead Daniels from Philly Borne to raise and all
- 9:12Speaker 1: that that. So so that's that's what you just heard.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I basically just said the Lee, Ah in Jesus' name,
- 9:20Speaker 1: we're still gonna make this movie. They said, don't let
- 9:23Speaker 1: it go. Don't let it go. And I'm gonna tell
- 9:25Speaker 1: you right now that there is no other version of
- 9:28Speaker 1: the Teddy Pendergrass package is better than this package. So
- 9:32Speaker 1: I may have sued and lost the law suit.
- 9:35Speaker 3: Would you think Teddy would have wanted you to sue
- 9:36Speaker 3: his widow? Though?
- 9:39Speaker 1: I think I think the Teddy Pendergrass that I that
- 9:43Speaker 1: I know and got to know, Teddy Pendergrass is not
- 9:48Speaker 1: interested in anything or anybody that would getting the way
- 9:51Speaker 1: of progress. And I would he say sue. No, nobody
- 9:55Speaker 1: would ever say, hey, man, if she getting away sewer,
- 9:58Speaker 1: that's not what that man said me. What I will
- 10:01Speaker 1: say is I've been around. I've heard him say things
- 10:04Speaker 1: about people that you would never ever think he feels
- 10:07Speaker 1: this or feels that about. And I never repeat it
- 10:10Speaker 1: because that's who my heart is. But I will say,
- 10:13Speaker 1: Teddy don't fuck with who Teddy don't funk with, And
- 10:16Speaker 1: I'm aware of who he does and who he don't.
- 10:18Speaker 1: They can paint whatever picture they want, but Teddy is
- 10:21Speaker 1: not interested in anything or anybody getting the way of
- 10:23Speaker 1: his story being told Teddy didn't him. I'm not saying
- 10:27Speaker 1: that at all. Those are not my words. That's that
- 10:29Speaker 1: Charlemagne trying to do that.
- 10:31Speaker 3: People would it like that an envy is.
- 10:33Speaker 7: Slipping out of here? All right, we're gonna hug I
- 10:36Speaker 7: love you, There you go. That's what I like to
- 10:38Speaker 7: see that's what I like to see. That's what I
- 10:40Speaker 7: like this, that's what I like to see.
- 10:47Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna tell you what's funked up.
- 10:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what's funked up. If that was
- 10:54Speaker 1: Acon's car, you wouldn't be leaving there. His life scanning
- 10:56Speaker 1: Niggas stick.
- 10:57Speaker 4: Together headline looked like NVBIT, But listen. She also said
- 11:04Speaker 4: she was a poor businessman.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Poor businessman. That's fine, that's fine. Everybody's entitled to their opinion.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I want to believe that securing a deal with Warner Brothers,
- 11:16Speaker 1: securing Lee Daniels developing an actual relationship with her late
- 11:21Speaker 1: great husband, that says everything about who I am as
- 11:25Speaker 1: a business man, because I produce results. We had the
- 11:28Speaker 1: biggest press release ever. At the end of the day,
- 11:31Speaker 1: she's gonna see this interview, and I just want her
- 11:34Speaker 1: to know that, in my mind, I made a commitment
- 11:37Speaker 1: to your husband. I made a commitment to his story,
- 11:40Speaker 1: his journey, and Lee Daniels is still ready to go,
- 11:43Speaker 1: and Warner Brothers is still ready to go. I'm just
- 11:46Speaker 1: gonna hope and pray that somebody can make the phone
- 11:48Speaker 1: call to say that there is no better Teddy Pendergrass
- 11:52Speaker 1: package than Tyree's Lee Daniels and Warner Brothers. That's it.
- 11:57Speaker 8: But so if somebody doesn't make that phone call and
- 11:59Speaker 8: it happened right in a perfect world, like, how do
- 12:02Speaker 8: y'all move forward?
- 12:03Speaker 1: We already got the script done?
- 12:04Speaker 8: Not the script, but I mean, like just as people
- 12:07Speaker 8: and like now you have all this in the media,
- 12:09Speaker 8: the lawsuit or whatever.
- 12:10Speaker 1: It's like, did you just see what happened with me
- 12:12Speaker 1: and Envy?
- 12:12Speaker 5: So y'all gonna sit down to have a conversation.
- 12:14Speaker 1: You've seen what just happened with me and Envy. Yeah,
- 12:16Speaker 1: we're supposed to be fucking bare knuckle.
- 12:18Speaker 5: Right here, cracking all right, m't doing.
- 12:20Speaker 1: That, but we we said we wasn't doing and me
- 12:23Speaker 1: and Charlemagne said, we're not doing that. Me and Envy said,
- 12:26Speaker 1: we're not doing that. So if everybody tuning in there
- 12:29Speaker 1: ready for war, where's the war? Right? We've grown ass men,
- 12:33Speaker 1: and guess what we all felt and feel and went
- 12:36Speaker 1: about all of this shit the way we did. There's actions,
- 12:39Speaker 1: there's reactions that went to whatever level. But I'm a
- 12:41Speaker 1: grown ass man, and at the end of the day,
- 12:43Speaker 1: he is too, and that man is too so I
- 12:46Speaker 1: really believe in Jesus' name. First of all. First of all,
- 12:50Speaker 1: I'll say this, not despite anybody. We can't make Teddy
- 12:55Speaker 1: Pendergrass about any of us. His story his story. It's
- 13:01Speaker 1: history and it belongs to the world. And there's nobody
- 13:04Speaker 1: else in the world that could do that but me.
- 13:06Speaker 1: Y'all seeing the beard.
- 13:10Speaker 8: And why hold it onto the why did it go
- 13:12Speaker 8: into the star spangled banner situation?
- 13:14Speaker 1: I'll tell you because the guy. First of all, shout
- 13:17Speaker 1: out to my barber. I literally flew in man from Texas.
- 13:21Speaker 1: We found him a year ago online and his process
- 13:26Speaker 1: takes about five hours. And I did not want to
- 13:29Speaker 1: do anything from Hollywood because first of all, there's a
- 13:32Speaker 1: lot of white people are the makeup artists, and they
- 13:34Speaker 1: don't even know nothing about this black texture. So that's
- 13:37Speaker 1: why you got motherfuckers out here looking real crazy when
- 13:40Speaker 1: they put on fake beards and movies or whatever. First
- 13:42Speaker 1: of all, I'm an actor, and if anybody can get
- 13:45Speaker 1: away with putting on prosthetics and fake this and fake that,
- 13:48Speaker 1: it would be me that when you go and do
- 13:50Speaker 1: all that fake shit in real life, we got to
- 13:52Speaker 1: ask a real idea of question. But I have never
- 13:55Speaker 1: had facial hairds like that in my life. I got
- 13:59Speaker 1: a hold of what I believe is the best person
- 14:02Speaker 1: that could do that shit to make it look real
- 14:03Speaker 1: and believable. And I literally went full on for my
- 14:08Speaker 1: Wildflower not a video or a short film, and it
- 14:13Speaker 1: was casted by Robbie Reid, who did levels of like
- 14:15Speaker 1: Malcolm X, like this is a real movie. It would
- 14:19Speaker 1: be disrespectful the call of the music video, and so
- 14:22Speaker 1: I went all out. Okay, and my whole move, my
- 14:25Speaker 1: whole album, Beautiful Pain is like rumor has it the
- 14:32Speaker 1: year twenty twenty four is coming, I've been in the
- 14:34Speaker 1: year nineteen sixty eight for the last almost four years.
- 14:38Speaker 3: You said twenty twenty four is coming.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Rumor has it that we're still going to be alive
- 14:42Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. I have been in the year
- 14:44Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight working on this Beautiful Pain album. Because
- 14:49Speaker 1: when I was working on my album, there was no
- 14:52Speaker 1: such thing as Luther Vanros featuring Curtis Blow. There was
- 14:56Speaker 1: no such thing as Marvin Gaye feature and run DMC
- 14:59Speaker 1: was never. I want to tell you, baby, the chance
- 15:05Speaker 1: is I've been going through I've been working on teams
- 15:09Speaker 1: chances I've been going through the team. There was no
- 15:12Speaker 1: such thinking. Okay, grown ass man with just R and
- 15:16Speaker 1: B records that did not feature hip hop. So that's
- 15:19Speaker 1: what I did. I got twenty songs they live and
- 15:23Speaker 1: there was nothing about what I did in my Wildflower
- 15:27Speaker 1: video that had anything to do with me looking like
- 15:30Speaker 1: Jody baby Boy, Roaman Pierce, none of them niggas. I
- 15:33Speaker 1: had to become the person that I envisioned myself becoming
- 15:38Speaker 1: the motherfucking bail bottom shoe, her pants and them platform shoes.
- 15:42Speaker 1: That was this stick worstship I've ever experienced in my life.
- 15:46Speaker 1: I got.
- 15:47Speaker 4: I got a lover of the Adida suit with the
- 15:49Speaker 4: lofers the what worse than your Adida suit?
- 15:53Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes that was Yeah.
- 15:56Speaker 5: That was uncomfortable where it was uncomfortable.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Listen, man, I ain't never wore no ship like that
- 16:01Speaker 1: in my life. Okay, full beard, full head of hair.
- 16:05Speaker 1: I wore a bonnet to go to sleep. My girl
- 16:09Speaker 1: gave me a bonnet, Okay, I had. I woke up
- 16:12Speaker 1: with a headache, damn because of the bonnet. Whatever that
- 16:15Speaker 1: ball that you you know, because I don't wear Wayne casts.
- 16:17Speaker 1: None of that ship nigga that bought that bonnet the
- 16:20Speaker 1: string tight. I woke up. I was like, yo, man,
- 16:24Speaker 1: I don't have I have no motherfucking idea. How y'all
- 16:26Speaker 1: niggas ain't no, ain't no way in hell anybody should
- 16:29Speaker 1: be committing the hair and waking up with I was
- 16:32Speaker 1: on fire. Yeah, So anyway, anyway, well, well it was
- 16:41Speaker 1: it was promo in my mind because I'm I'm pretty
- 16:46Speaker 1: methodical with my ship when when I can, they don't
- 16:48Speaker 1: always land, but it lands.
- 16:50Speaker 3: Why didn't think it was? It was like extra from
- 16:53Speaker 3: Good Time?
- 16:53Speaker 8: It was because he was singing that it was the
- 16:55Speaker 8: way that that's.
- 16:56Speaker 3: What he thought, like one of Rollo's friends or.
- 16:59Speaker 8: Something from So you like it didn't land? Like you,
- 17:01Speaker 8: you keep saying that, what's up? You keep saying that
- 17:03Speaker 8: that it didn't land? What didn't land?
- 17:05Speaker 3: Like?
- 17:05Speaker 5: What are you referring to? Are you talking about? When
- 17:07Speaker 5: you were singing and start.
- 17:09Speaker 1: When I was singing the national anthem and landed. But
- 17:13Speaker 1: I was saying that not everything that I'm very methodic,
- 17:16Speaker 1: I'm a capricorn. So we think and we'd strategize and
- 17:19Speaker 1: we calculate, and I was saying that not everything that
- 17:22Speaker 1: we calculate will always land. But everything about what I
- 17:26Speaker 1: did landed right. So I said, to these white people
- 17:29Speaker 1: at the rams, I said, to the to the people
- 17:31Speaker 1: at at at even the movie studio, I said, let
- 17:34Speaker 1: me tell you something. There is no version of me
- 17:37Speaker 1: doing the national anthem looking like Tyree, singing like Tyree's,
- 17:41Speaker 1: wearing regular Tyree's clothing that's going to get as much
- 17:44Speaker 1: traction and attention as this. And the outfit that I
- 17:47Speaker 1: wore is the output that I wore in the entire
- 17:51Speaker 1: music video or short film from Wildflow, is it?
- 17:56Speaker 5: No, I didn't see I didn't see Wildflower.
- 17:58Speaker 1: But I know he tried to come at me about
- 18:00Speaker 1: the ship. He's like, you're coming up here in that
- 18:02Speaker 1: beard for the interview, right, I said.
- 18:07Speaker 5: I was really confused all that stuff.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Of course, anybody I was confused. Everybody. Were they thinking
- 18:13Speaker 1: that I'm having another mental health breakdown on live television. Okay,
- 18:17Speaker 1: this is not a what more do you want from me?
- 18:19Speaker 1: Part two? It ain't never coming.
- 18:21Speaker 4: And you didn't sound bad. I was like, well, he
- 18:22Speaker 4: don't sound bad singing. Now, let's not do that like
- 18:26Speaker 4: you know.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Let me let me make another connection for the young niggas,
- 18:30Speaker 1: who who didn't live before Twitter was born. Uh, The
- 18:33Speaker 1: Great Western Forum had a legend by the name of
- 18:37Speaker 1: Marvin Gaye who sung one of the most legendary national
- 18:40Speaker 1: anthems ever at a Laker game. Okay, and that actual
- 18:46Speaker 1: physical property. Okay, let me give it to y'all. Y'all
- 18:49Speaker 1: still kind of slow, so let me get y'all to
- 18:51Speaker 1: catch up to me. Okay, here we go. The Great
- 18:53Speaker 1: Western Forum is in Inglewood.
- 18:55Speaker 5: Right here, right, oh, geographical right now?
- 18:58Speaker 1: Okay, I got it because because these kids don't know
- 19:00Speaker 1: what the fuck is going on Great Western Form. It's
- 19:02Speaker 1: right here. The same exact parking lot is where the
- 19:07Speaker 1: Sofi arena is located. I showed up in a red
- 19:12Speaker 1: Beanie and everything about my approach to the anthem and
- 19:16Speaker 1: the year that I've been living in Donnie Hathaway, Marvin Gaye,
- 19:19Speaker 1: Teddy Pendergrass, Stevie wonder Motown. This red Beanie was holding
- 19:26Speaker 1: hands with this red Beanie at the Gray Western Form
- 19:29Speaker 1: as I sung the national anthem on top of live
- 19:32Speaker 1: congos in an arena that just got built a couple
- 19:35Speaker 1: of years ago called the Sofi and the same exact
- 19:38Speaker 1: property holding hands. So Marvin did it? I did a
- 19:42Speaker 1: music video. This man said, it's gonna take four hours
- 19:45Speaker 1: to take all that nappy shit off your face. I said,
- 19:47Speaker 1: I don't have time. We left the set of Wildflower
- 19:51Speaker 1: and went straight to the Anthem because these white people
- 19:54Speaker 1: want to be there by ten thirty to rehearse. Like fuck,
- 19:56Speaker 1: I don't rehearse. I need sleep. But if y'all want
- 19:59Speaker 1: me to rehearse, i gotta show up in full costume
- 20:03Speaker 1: because I'm just leaving the set. So when Wildflower drops,
- 20:08Speaker 1: I think for all the people that's laughing, joking or
- 20:10Speaker 1: just asking questions, they're gonna understand.
- 20:12Speaker 4: It wasn't given. It was given like Lamar Standford got
- 20:15Speaker 4: a date. You know what I'm saying.
- 20:16Speaker 8: You know, but people picked up the Marvin because of
- 20:18Speaker 8: the I think it was like the just the way
- 20:21Speaker 8: you sung it, people.
- 20:21Speaker 5: Picked it up.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Look at this go ahead, you did it.
- 20:26Speaker 5: But I really I didn't know what yo.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Listen, you did it, You did it, You did that.
- 20:31Speaker 1: This nigga here he gonna.
- 20:33Speaker 5: I'm trying to move on, keep going back.
- 20:36Speaker 4: I was Raised'll know that doing comedy.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Man.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Now that I'm saying here, I'm like, you kind of
- 20:44Speaker 5: you knew what you was doing, like.
- 20:47Speaker 8: Can you look a little not trod in a bad way,
- 20:50Speaker 8: but like you knew that it was gonna get the
- 20:51Speaker 8: people going, and you didn't have a choice, so you
- 20:53Speaker 8: just made to do what you had to make.
- 20:55Speaker 5: Do at the time.
- 20:55Speaker 8: It's like, hene, it's a different feeling now because before
- 20:58Speaker 8: I'm like, this.
- 20:59Speaker 5: Is not going on.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Well, listen, y'all, all jokes aside. Wildflower is available worldwide.
- 21:07Speaker 1: It just went live on all the streaming platforms. And
- 21:11Speaker 1: you already know this song. You love this song. We
- 21:14Speaker 1: grew up on this song. I would have never heard
- 21:16Speaker 1: this song a day of my life. Let me tell
- 21:18Speaker 1: y'all something. Imagine me, little boy. Long before I ever
- 21:23Speaker 1: knew I could sing, my mama was an alcoholic twenty
- 21:26Speaker 1: seven years May God rest her soul. She died two
- 21:30Speaker 1: years ago, twenty twenty two. Of all days, she give
- 21:33Speaker 1: birth to an R and B singer, and she dies
- 21:35Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day. Okay, two girls, two boys, I'm the
- 21:40Speaker 1: last one. I'm the baby boy officially, So imagine, long
- 21:46Speaker 1: before I ever knew I could hold a note, As
- 21:48Speaker 1: my mama is drinking talking about she ain't just like sipping.
- 21:52Speaker 1: My mama was full on right. The soundtrack that helped
- 21:58Speaker 1: her to drink even more was R and B soul music.
- 22:04Speaker 1: I don't really know no other version of R and B,
- 22:07Speaker 1: like I don't know nothing about Little Taytay, Little Rayleay, look,
- 22:09Speaker 1: Little Say Say Listen, they will never be David Foster
- 22:14Speaker 1: and Little Tate in the same sentence, you understand me.

- 27:54Speaker 1: weeks and Little Tate and David Foster will never be
- 27:58Speaker 1: in the same sentence. How does that make you feel?
- 28:02Speaker 1: We are exhausted with auto tune. We are exhausted with
- 28:06Speaker 1: motherfuckers out here who are not singing, who's not coming
- 28:09Speaker 1: from the soul. If y'all want us to think and
- 28:12Speaker 1: believe that Charlemagne the God is not going home to
- 28:18Speaker 1: his beautiful wife and his family. If y'all want us
- 28:21Speaker 1: to believe that all these women out here selling out
- 28:24Speaker 1: arenas talking about fuck you, I don't need you, I'm independent,
- 28:29Speaker 1: I could do bad by myself. If you think they're
- 28:32Speaker 1: not going home to a husband, you are the most
- 28:35Speaker 1: confused generation period. Y'all sing what happened with Siarra when
- 28:40Speaker 1: she released that song, and they like, I'm so confused,
- 28:45Speaker 1: and that's no disrespect to her. We all understand that
- 28:48Speaker 1: the record labels. It's like, if you, as a female artist,
- 28:51Speaker 1: want to be Scissa, Somma Walker, Iiko or this or
- 28:55Speaker 1: that and all these different women out here who keep
- 28:57Speaker 1: going and bashing men in the songs Jazmine Sullivan, Mary J. Blige,
- 29:03Speaker 1: If you want to sell out arenas, they not buying
- 29:07Speaker 1: love right now. They don't want to hear about how
- 29:09Speaker 1: much you love your husband that you're actually going home to.
- 29:13Speaker 1: These women ain't going home by theirself. Okay, I bust
- 29:17Speaker 1: the windows out your car, and after I bust the
- 29:21Speaker 1: windows out his car, I'm going home because I love you,
- 29:24Speaker 1: and I hate that we even took shit to that level.
- 29:26Speaker 1: That's what my eye missed. Now listen, I would love
- 29:29Speaker 1: to take up the rest of his interview time and
- 29:32Speaker 1: talk about my ex, but I'm not gonna do that.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Don't just listen to know what I'm saying. I love you.
- 29:42Speaker 1: I would love to take up the rest of his
- 29:43Speaker 1: interview time from going at my ex so that y'all
- 29:46Speaker 1: can understand what motivated Beautiful Pain, but I'm not going
- 29:49Speaker 1: to do that. I got plenty of interviews out there
- 29:53Speaker 1: with the whole world here in the details of my
- 29:55Speaker 1: heart about how I am still trying to figure out who,
- 29:58Speaker 1: what and how this all happened. But I'm also gonna
- 30:02Speaker 1: say to y'all that this album, including my new relationship,
- 30:07Speaker 1: has helped me to discover the beauty in my pain.
- 30:12Speaker 1: That's why the album is called Beautiful Pain. Twenty songs total,
- 30:16Speaker 1: It's all live Lenny Kravitz, Kenny g El, DeBarge, Kim Barell,
- 30:24Speaker 1: October London. We got a song on this album called
- 30:27Speaker 1: Bedroom Bully. Let me tell you something. I'm pregnant right now.
- 30:38Speaker 1: I knew it. I tell you boy, Charlamagne first Lady
- 30:44Speaker 1: at the House ask yourself some real questions about the
- 30:47Speaker 1: things your husband is into. I mean, we can't let
- 30:51Speaker 1: five minutes go by without some type of gays flying.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I just goddamn pause. That was my full jus. Gay
- 31:01Speaker 1: juice is the topic of whatever the fuck he keep
- 31:03Speaker 1: hurling out. A you either straight at your gay, ain't nobody,
- 31:07Speaker 1: don't be in my comments, mother, but you could be
- 31:10Speaker 1: whatever version of the gay you want. If you either
- 31:11Speaker 1: straight at your gay, that's it. I'm grown.
- 31:14Speaker 3: I didn't want to ask.
- 31:15Speaker 4: You one question though, Yes, beautiful thing. We know what
- 31:17Speaker 4: the album is about. When you see things, and I
- 31:22Speaker 4: don't want you to talk about your Acause'm just this
- 31:23Speaker 4: is a music question. Yes, when your ex does go
- 31:26Speaker 4: out there and continue to say things, does it make
- 31:29Speaker 4: you go to the studio.
- 31:30Speaker 3: And rewrite, write more? What does it do? Because I
- 31:34Speaker 3: know that's what I know, that's how you've been channeling
- 31:35Speaker 3: all that.
- 31:36Speaker 1: None of the things that she has been saying. If
- 31:39Speaker 1: I'm being honest, it's irritating, Okay, it's annoying. I don't
- 31:44Speaker 1: know who this person is. I wish I did. None
- 31:47Speaker 1: of her friends know who she is. I don't know
- 31:49Speaker 1: who she is, and I think we've already addressed that
- 31:52Speaker 1: and unpacked that. What I will say is I didn't
- 31:55Speaker 1: really need any other motivator because if you were to
- 32:00Speaker 1: put on some three D glasses, I'm sitting here in
- 32:02Speaker 1: the bay's jacket and I'm still on fire about the
- 32:07Speaker 1: confusion in and around my entire thing, crashing and burning. Now,
- 32:12Speaker 1: pride and ego is supposed to say, you look good,
- 32:14Speaker 1: you got money, you dry this, you live in that,
- 32:16Speaker 1: your square footage is that you got a new love.
- 32:20Speaker 1: So you know, here's the other narrative that that women
- 32:24Speaker 1: I love, y'all, but it's it's amazing to me. Does
- 32:28Speaker 1: that mean Jasmine Sullivan still want to be with her
- 32:31Speaker 1: ex because she released the song talk about Busts and
- 32:34Speaker 1: Windows out of Car? Does Mary J. Blige want to
- 32:38Speaker 1: get back with Ken Do because she has done a
- 32:42Speaker 1: bunch of interviews and released a bunch of songs venting
- 32:46Speaker 1: and talking and expressing her thoughts, feelings and sentiment about
- 32:50Speaker 1: a marriage that ultimately didn't work. Because it is fucked
- 32:55Speaker 1: up for y'all to keep telling me that I want,
- 33:00Speaker 1: I lust, I desire, I want. I have not talked
- 33:03Speaker 1: to this woman. I have not secretly done a lunch
- 33:05Speaker 1: at dinner. If she were to post screenshots right now
- 33:09Speaker 1: of her phone since she left me, there is not
- 33:11Speaker 1: one fucking text message that says I'll do it now.
- 33:15Speaker 1: There was some begging and pleading and trying to understand
- 33:18Speaker 1: when we first broke up, but the moment that that
- 33:21Speaker 1: divorce paperwork came in with twenty thousand dollars a month
- 33:24Speaker 1: for eight month old attached, I said, Okay, I got
- 33:28Speaker 1: what's going on now. I don't like it, but I
- 33:31Speaker 1: can't unsee what I saw and I can't unfeel what
- 33:33Speaker 1: I feel. So at the end of the day, I'm
- 33:36Speaker 1: now in a studio working on an album that shit
- 33:39Speaker 1: belonged to everybody else but me. You think I want
- 33:42Speaker 1: to sing these goddamn songs? Okay? You think Marvin Gaye
- 33:48Speaker 1: wanted to go to court after being married to Barry
- 33:52Speaker 1: Gordy's wife, I mean Barry Gordy's sister that was seventeen
- 33:56Speaker 1: years older than him named Anne Gordy, broke, depressed, addicted
- 34:02Speaker 1: to cocaine, going through everything imaginable in his life and
- 34:08Speaker 1: ended up going to court and didn't have anything that
- 34:10Speaker 1: he can give Barry Gordy's sister, and he ended up
- 34:13Speaker 1: having a judgment to say, you're gonna go to the studio.
- 34:17Speaker 1: You're gonna record a full album. All of the money
- 34:20Speaker 1: from yourselves, your publishing, everything that has to do with
- 34:24Speaker 1: this album. You gotta give it to this woman that
- 34:26Speaker 1: you were married to, because you ain't got a pot
- 34:28Speaker 1: to piss in and a hole in the wall. And
- 34:30Speaker 1: you know what he named the album? Here, my dear,
- 34:36Speaker 1: you think Marvin gave want to record that goddamn album.
- 34:39Speaker 1: You think Marvin Gay wanted his life to end up
- 34:42Speaker 1: the way it ended up before he released And it's
- 34:44Speaker 1: classics on the like just to keep you satisfied. You
- 34:48Speaker 1: know what that is, Charlotte Mane, you probably got three
- 34:50Speaker 1: kids off of that. That song would have never been
- 34:53Speaker 1: created if you didn't go through that tumultuous time. See
- 34:57Speaker 1: some of y'all out here, y'all niggas break up with
- 35:00Speaker 1: somebody in three weeks and y'all selling out arenas and
- 35:04Speaker 1: y'all are confusing popularity. What matters you? Mike wave ass
- 35:08Speaker 1: motherfucker ain't gonna be here five years.
- 35:11Speaker 8: So it sounds like you, I mean, you're in a
- 35:12Speaker 8: good space about a lot of stuff, right, So where
- 35:16Speaker 8: are you because people you brought up mental health earlier,
- 35:18Speaker 8: and people always you said, people question your mental health,
- 35:20Speaker 8: Like where are you right now with everything?
- 35:23Speaker 5: Mental health wise?
- 35:24Speaker 1: I have never been in a better place in my life,
- 35:29Speaker 1: did it? I take anxiety medicine that's one milligram, it's
- 35:35Speaker 1: called Adavan, changed my life. I've never taken any other
- 35:40Speaker 1: version of anxiety medicine. Most of y'all niggas out here
- 35:43Speaker 1: taken anxiety medicine. Don't really actually have anxiety. You just
- 35:46Speaker 1: want to be high. Because your favorite rapper mentioned in
- 35:49Speaker 1: every three bars, I've learned to get massages. I love
- 35:57Speaker 1: that I live in a cul de sac where there's
- 35:58Speaker 1: no cars, no people, to no movement, because my version
- 36:02Speaker 1: of hitting the reset button is when I get away
- 36:05Speaker 1: from everything and everybody. That may make some people sad
- 36:09Speaker 1: and depressed, but when I get to be alone is
- 36:13Speaker 1: when I am at my best. We don't really have
- 36:18Speaker 1: to talk about the crying video, because as I was
- 36:22Speaker 1: asking what more do you want from me? I realized
- 36:24Speaker 1: I was really talking to God because I felt like
- 36:27Speaker 1: if my life went from a thirty second commercial to
- 36:31Speaker 1: almost thirty years of some some type of a career,
- 36:34Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out, like, what else do you
- 36:36Speaker 1: have in mind for me? What? What else are we going?
- 36:38Speaker 9: What?
- 36:38Speaker 1: What? What? What else happens from here at seriously, because
- 36:44Speaker 1: because because those were words that came out of my
- 36:46Speaker 1: mouth that I never knew that that video was out
- 36:48Speaker 1: there for four months before the psych meds was out
- 36:50Speaker 1: of my system. So it's it's still painful to think
- 36:54Speaker 1: about the shame and embarrassment that came with something that
- 36:57Speaker 1: I didn't even know happened. But at the end of
- 37:00Speaker 1: the day, I'm not here to make a mockery of
- 37:02Speaker 1: mental health. I'm just here to address what happens when
- 37:06Speaker 1: somebody says you're stressed out, you're going through something, and
- 37:10Speaker 1: they give you something to help you with your mental
- 37:12Speaker 1: health and it ended up having fucked up side effects
- 37:15Speaker 1: for the whole world to see. So with that being said,
- 37:18Speaker 1: understand and I gotta, I gotta, I gotta close this
- 37:23Speaker 1: out by talking about the movie because I have to.
- 37:28Speaker 1: But I want to say this in closing. I want
- 37:30Speaker 1: to show this. I want to say this in closing
- 37:32Speaker 1: about beautiful pain. We could find ourselves as R and
- 37:38Speaker 1: B singers continuing to make reference to things and events
- 37:42Speaker 1: and moments that happened fifty years ago while disowning our gifts,
- 37:47Speaker 1: disowning our songs, disowning our talents. Because we keep throwing
- 37:55Speaker 1: back to Donnie, to Marvin, to Stevie to all of
- 38:00Speaker 1: the greats. They are great, and they're still great. Rather
- 38:03Speaker 1: they're still with us or not. But it's time for
- 38:06Speaker 1: us as R and B singers to step into our
- 38:09Speaker 1: greatness and have the audacity to say, I believe I
- 38:15Speaker 1: just made the most important album of my life. And
- 38:20Speaker 1: when I take my last breath fifty sixty years from now,
- 38:23Speaker 1: God willing, I don't pass no time soon, they will
- 38:26Speaker 1: look at this interview. They will look at all my documentaries.
- 38:29Speaker 1: They will look at me and the process of me
- 38:31Speaker 1: making my album, which I've documented every step of the way,
- 38:34Speaker 1: and say, how can you not put that that there?
- 38:39Speaker 1: David Foster produced, executive produced Beautiful Pain. Brandon bam Hodge
- 38:47Speaker 1: produced Beautiful Pain. This is the only album that belongs
- 38:53Speaker 1: on vinyl. You go to tyres dot TV, the pre
- 38:56Speaker 1: ordered kids go to sleep. I know hear me to
- 39:05Speaker 1: my ex, you fucked me up? He did. But God,
- 39:18Speaker 1: God had this to happen for a reason, because what
- 39:21Speaker 1: I gave birth to and this album and this music
- 39:27Speaker 1: never existed before that. What I just gave birth to
- 39:34Speaker 1: never existed before. Zelly. I got a song called Rescue
- 39:38Speaker 1: because she was my rescue. God sent this woman in
- 39:42Speaker 1: my life in the midst of all of my message.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Not in everybody's cars to be alone while you're going
- 39:48Speaker 1: through a broken heart. That's how people kill themselves. It's
- 39:52Speaker 1: not about let me wait until I heal and I
- 39:55Speaker 1: take my heel and join them. About one hundred percent,
- 39:58Speaker 1: get off the internet when you've grown and you understand
- 40:02Speaker 1: the beauty of companionship, friends, family, loved ones and somebody
- 40:07Speaker 1: that you share in time with can put a smile
- 40:09Speaker 1: on your face when you can't put a smile on
- 40:11Speaker 1: your own face. Zelly, I love you, and I'm sorry
- 40:15Speaker 1: I had to do so many interviews talking about my
- 40:18Speaker 1: ex but I love you. It's spent four years and
- 40:21Speaker 1: you have changed my life. You are my rescue. God
- 40:25Speaker 1: sent you in my life to be something that never
- 40:28Speaker 1: existed before you got there. You never asked to be there.
- 40:32Speaker 1: I was supposed to be married and do this with her.
- 40:34Speaker 1: She made her choice. Beautiful pain. It drops on the
- 40:39Speaker 1: same day as nineteen ninety two Friday August thirtieth, Rest

- 40:59Speaker 1: most dramatic this nineteen ninety two. April twenty ninth, the
- 41:03Speaker 1: Rodney King Verdict. Not comparing tragedies. This was our September eleventh.

- 41:17Speaker 3: It was a terrorist. I would like in Rodney King
- 41:20Speaker 3: more sort of like a George Floyd.
- 41:22Speaker 1: Police officers are terrorists. When you got seventeen white men
- 41:26Speaker 1: pulling out they batons and beating the shit out. They

- 41:46Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty five riots. Okay, that the President of

- 41:53Speaker 1: before I was born in Watts and raised and became successful.
- 41:58Speaker 1: My City Watts was only known for the nineteen sixty
- 42:01Speaker 1: five Watts riots. The movie nineteen ninety two is not

- 43:34Speaker 1: Ray was in it.
- 43:36Speaker 4: You deal with a lot of grief, like I think
- 43:38Speaker 4: about you know, brother Paul Walker, and I think about
- 43:41Speaker 4: John Ray, John Singleton, your mother, divorce, your sisters. People
- 43:48Speaker 4: don't look at divorces grief, but you did. You lose things.
- 43:50Speaker 4: You know, you probably lost a lot of friends when
- 43:52Speaker 4: you went through your mental health breakdown. Are you really
- 43:56Speaker 4: really really have you really taken the time to deal
- 43:59Speaker 4: with all of that grief or do you just try
- 44:01Speaker 4: to stay busy?
- 44:02Speaker 9: To a boy, I'm doing the best I can. What
- 44:09Speaker 9: every twenty four hours, I get, that's its tissue.

- 44:46Speaker 1: is no net worth. There was no press release, there
- 44:51Speaker 1: was no co star. There is no collaboration in the
- 44:54Speaker 1: world that could ever replace my mama, that could feel
- 45:00Speaker 1: the void of what it's like to wake up and
- 45:04Speaker 1: get married and want to be in something for the
- 45:06Speaker 1: rest of your life and it goes away. I don't
- 45:11Speaker 1: need no tissue. Man, understand how much power it is
- 45:17Speaker 1: and letting it go.
- 45:18Speaker 5: Yeah, because you've been holding the whole interview.
- 45:20Speaker 1: You asked me the question, But I mean you should
- 45:23Speaker 1: have never asked the question if you didn't want to
- 45:26Speaker 1: see how hard it's being to get through. Okay, do
- 45:31Speaker 1: you not cry?

- 45:43Speaker 5: I mean, my makeup going to mess up. Hear me,
- 45:46Speaker 5: I can hear hear me.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Black men cry when divorces happen. Women aren't the only
- 45:57Speaker 1: ones that have devastated when a miscarriage happens. Women are
- 46:03Speaker 1: not the only one that you should be checking on
- 46:07Speaker 1: when you can't put food on the table because your
- 46:10Speaker 1: career goes up and then it goes down. Stop calling,
- 46:14Speaker 1: skipping over the man and just checking on the woman.
- 46:23Speaker 1: This is real shit out here. I'm gonna wipe my
- 46:26Speaker 1: own tears. I love you, sis. When you do things
- 46:31Speaker 1: from the heart of the facts hearts, that's what beautiful
- 46:34Speaker 1: pain is. Y'all might outsell me the first week I
- 46:41Speaker 1: made a fucking classic. Some of the most legendary movies
- 46:49Speaker 1: in the world didn't do well in the box office.
- 46:52Speaker 1: Baby Boy bombed. Do your research? Is it a classic?
- 47:00Speaker 1: Baby Boy? People to even know who the fuck I
- 47:03Speaker 1: was as actor when that movie came out.
- 47:05Speaker 3: Maybe BT still got a network.
- 47:08Speaker 1: Praise God. If the movie bombed in the box office,
- 47:12Speaker 1: why is it the only movie that they still playing
- 47:15Speaker 1: on b ET every day. Don't confuse data and numbers
- 47:21Speaker 1: and popularity with the reality of what affects hearts. I'm
- 47:26Speaker 1: a grown ass man, and I'm gonna tell y'all something
- 47:29Speaker 1: about nineteen ninety two as well as the mass singer
- 47:33Speaker 1: when I did that show, praise God for Nick Cannon,
- 47:36Speaker 1: shout out to him. I was really a mass singer.
- 47:43Speaker 1: I needed that mask so fucking bad. I needed that
- 47:47Speaker 1: money from that show so bad. I didn't have it
- 47:51Speaker 1: in me to go stand on that fucking stage and
- 47:53Speaker 1: sing and praise God. I had a mask on because
- 47:56Speaker 1: while I was on stage singing if they had seen
- 47:59Speaker 1: my face under that mask. Listen, if it all ends
- 48:07Speaker 1: for me tomorrow, I never sold you on fake. None

- 49:25Speaker 5: it back to that.
- 49:26Speaker 1: I didn't do it live on purpose. That just ended
- 49:28Speaker 1: up happening because I got into the biggest argument ever
- 49:31Speaker 1: with my producer named Brandon. He was like, bro, I'm
- 49:34Speaker 1: not doing that no more. We're not pulling out logic,
- 49:36Speaker 1: we're not pulling out beat machines. We're doing this shit live.

- 49:41Speaker 1: that is, but I tell you what. The number one song,
- 49:44Speaker 1: biggest song of my life, produced by Warren Campbell, was
- 49:47Speaker 1: number one on Billboard for sixteen weeks, and that was live.
- 49:51Speaker 1: It's called Shame Shame. Wildflower. Shame was not a remake.
- 49:59Speaker 1: Wildflo is a remake that everybody already loved, and the
- 50:03Speaker 1: person who co wrote produce it has something to do
- 50:06Speaker 1: with it fifty years ago is involved with the current
