Speaker 1: about it. It just kind of seems like he releases
3:18
Speaker 1: stuff and it's music just not consistent, like right, and
3:23
Speaker 1: it's just it's just mighty funny to me how it's

3:29
Speaker 1: well not so good light, and he just wanted to
3:32
Speaker 1: release projects and tell all books and all that I'm

Speaker 1: just it's just the timing for me. I just missed
3:38
Speaker 1: when you know, he was just putting out, you know,
3:40
Speaker 1: music that didn't pertain nothing else. You know, he had
3:43
Speaker 1: the short hair, that's what he was doing, this thing,
3:45
Speaker 1: We had the short hair. When the songs did not
3:47
Speaker 1: include his entanglement, because he definitely mentioned the entanglement with
3:51
Speaker 1: in this song as well, I feel like that's the
3:52
Speaker 1: whole promo for the album August real talk. I'm just
3:59
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, like how much do you want
4:01
Speaker 1: to shake the world like my guy? You had the
4:04
Speaker 1: headlines in the Chokehold all last year, man Kevin Jada
4:08
Speaker 1: came out about the relationship that Jada actually called an entanglement.
4:12
Speaker 1: Got into an entanglement with a guess that's what I said,
4:15
Speaker 1: which in mis means it's a little more than casual.
4:18
Speaker 1: It was the thing like relationship. Yes, it was a relationship. Yeah.
4:22
Speaker 1: I always thought that situation was just kind of like,
4:25
Speaker 1: you know, weird because they never they never came out,
4:29
Speaker 1: you know that they were you know, until they did
4:32
Speaker 1: they did or whatever. We just used to see him
4:34
Speaker 1: hanging out with the family. I thought he was friends
4:37
Speaker 1: with her son. Do you think you know what I'm saying,
4:41
Speaker 1: Like because the way it looked, because like the pictures,
4:44
Speaker 1: he would like hang out with everybody. So I always
4:46
Speaker 1: just thought he was just friends with you know, with
4:48
Speaker 1: her son or something kind of like when Lori Harvey
4:51
Speaker 1: was dating, did he somethinge um start out to Loria Harvey?
4:57
Speaker 1: You know Michael B Jordan. They said, Michael, get that
4:59
Speaker 1: hair back on your hand. Listen. They are doing their things,
5:01
Speaker 1: so listen. On Twitter, user actually said something to August.
5:05
Speaker 1: This girl said, when we're shaking my bed, and he replied,
5:09
Speaker 1: I ain't having sex. I gotta keep harnessing my energy
5:12
Speaker 1: and life force to continue suthoning energy for all the
5:15
Speaker 1: spells that have been casted. You know a lot of
5:18
Speaker 1: people believe in like, you know, voodoo, and you know,
5:20
Speaker 1: because he's from from New Orleans and that's it's a
5:23
Speaker 1: very big thing in New Orleans cultures. As far as
5:25
Speaker 1: I understand, I apologize if I'm wrong, please yea. So
5:33
Speaker 1: people thought he was tripping, like they thought something was
5:35
Speaker 1: wrong with him, So sources reached out to verify if
5:38
Speaker 1: his tweets were actually his tweets, and he said, yeah,
5:41
Speaker 1: I said what I said, that's that's normal for people
5:43
Speaker 1: to you know, feel like somebody casting spells and stuff.
5:48
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what he's doing. So so he said
5:52
Speaker 1: he's not having sex so he can harness his energy.
5:55
Speaker 1: Is that something that you feel like you might ever
5:57
Speaker 1: need to do in your life? Bet if need be
6:00
Speaker 1: absinent to you know, you know I was using the Germans.
6:04
Speaker 1: What'd you say? What you say? Do men hardness their
6:10
Speaker 1: energy by refraining from sex? I mean I don't. I
6:13
Speaker 1: don't know about everybody, but I know that I feel
6:16
Speaker 1: like I feel like, you know, sometimes it does make
6:21
Speaker 1: you more focused, you know, when you when you are
6:25
Speaker 1: away from women and you know, not indulging in sexual activities.
6:29
Speaker 1: You know, I find myself, at least for me, more
6:32
Speaker 1: focused and you know, have more of a clear mind. Um,
6:36
Speaker 1: you know, but I can't say for everybody. I don't
6:38
Speaker 1: know about you know, all these long periods of times,
6:40
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know about now. I don't know
6:44
Speaker 1: about all that in a long period of time, I
6:47
Speaker 1: got well. Russell waited for his marriage to Sierra. He did.
6:55
Speaker 1: Is that why Channing Crowder is calling him a cornball? Yeah?
6:58
Speaker 1: That will be with him. Russell Squaire had she she
7:06
Speaker 1: has a good situation. But she was you gonna leave future,
7:09
Speaker 1: She's get with Russell Wilson. I think that's future and everybody, Yeah,
7:18
Speaker 1: that's true. Everybody has a top. You're gonna leave future
7:21
Speaker 1: and get Russell when you get so god damned square
7:24
Speaker 1: and I love him on the field. He's a square.
7:27
Speaker 1: He's a square. He go from this level of toxicity.
7:30
Speaker 1: You just want something stable. You want the guy that
7:33
Speaker 1: was sitting with that girl with that big old mom
7:35
Speaker 1: at the draft, that was laughing and you knew she
7:37
Speaker 1: deserved to be with the goofball. You want you want
7:40
Speaker 1: to get goofball. That was that was messed up because
7:45
Speaker 1: you can't say a man is a cornball because of
7:48
Speaker 1: how he is in life and how he treats his woman.
7:51
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this. You cannot say a man is
7:54
Speaker 1: a cornball who has two hundred million dollars. I mean no, no, no, no, no,
8:00
Speaker 1: no no no no no no. Women can do that.
8:03
Speaker 1: Women can say I don't care how much money you got,
8:06
Speaker 1: But as a man, you cannot say another man is
8:10
Speaker 1: a cornball that got two hundred million dollars. Yes you can.
8:14
Speaker 1: You can't. If you corny, your corny the money don't
8:16
Speaker 1: make you un corny. I don't think he's corny. You
8:20
Speaker 1: think I don't think he's corny. I think it's a
8:23
Speaker 1: respectable guy. You know what I'm saying. Everybody do things differently.
8:26
Speaker 1: That's their way. You know what I'm saying. Lead them alone. Yeah,
8:29
Speaker 1: now with somebody would call me corny if I got two.
8:31
Speaker 1: His whole point was to me. She she leveled up.
8:34
Speaker 1: I feel like he said, you don't go from a
8:37
Speaker 1: future to a Russell Wilson because clearly you have a type.
8:40
Speaker 1: Now let me tell you something. Your type might not
8:43
Speaker 1: be the type for you. Just because you have a type,
8:45
Speaker 1: don't mean your type gonna work out when you're young. Yeah,
8:48
Speaker 1: you want to date the dope boys in the trap.
8:49
Speaker 1: You want to have fun, live wild life on the
8:51
Speaker 1: wild side. What ship they play you on? Off? You're
8:54
Speaker 1: ready for someone who is same. Like you just said.
8:57
Speaker 1: You go through periods in your life where you know
8:59
Speaker 1: you having fun, you outside, you doing your thing, But
9:02
Speaker 1: there comes a time when you're looking in the mirror
9:04
Speaker 1: like baby, I'm only gonna be the young, but it's long.
9:09
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I need to secure something.
9:11
Speaker 1: I need to secure my future. And I feel like,
9:13
Speaker 1: you know, no, puney right, she realized what she was
9:17
Speaker 1: worth and she decided to be with a man who
9:19
Speaker 1: was specting that. That's like that. Everybody go through stages
9:22
Speaker 1: in their life. You know what I'm saying. Shout out
9:24
Speaker 1: to Russelan Sierra, because baby, somebody pulled up Channing Crowder's
9:27
Speaker 1: high school photos show ugly. Now since he's talking about bodies,
9:36
Speaker 1: it ain't no telling how many fifty cent got because
9:39
Speaker 1: this man would not lead to here and a real
9:40
Speaker 1: long money. She wants his money here, how much he
9:44
Speaker 1: got in the bank. And I don't care either if
9:46
Speaker 1: I if you want me two dollars, I want my
9:47
Speaker 1: damn to a money, especially when you sued me and
9:51
Speaker 1: it backfired, I definitely want my money. Okay, But listen,
9:56
Speaker 1: you guys, it was wrong for him to repost that video.
9:59
Speaker 1: He not have posted that on his Plassen Internet exactly.
10:04
Speaker 1: So does that excuse any of this at all? On
10:08
Speaker 1: the internet? It was, but come on, now, why would
10:11
Speaker 1: he be We know he is a savage. Okay. I
10:15
Speaker 1: just think it's heavy enough that she already has someone
10:17
Speaker 1: that she trust without a video that she did not authorize.
10:21
Speaker 1: You know, she was hurt. Now I can't understand the argument,
10:24
Speaker 1: Like everybody, A lot of people reposted it, why fifty
10:27
Speaker 1: Is it because he has the money? But I think
10:29
Speaker 1: it's because he has such a big platform that it
10:32
Speaker 1: it blew it up even more, you know what I mean.
10:33
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of tough toever he's gonna
10:35
Speaker 1: throw a lot, but at this point says he's not
10:37
Speaker 1: letting up. I heard he had investigated for on your
10:40
Speaker 1: ass and he wants to bring you to the forefront
10:43
Speaker 1: so you can pay him his money. Becoming like the
10:45
Speaker 1: rs keep be talking about garnishing checks and all types. Ship,
10:50

12:52
Speaker 1: Where the hell did you come from? Oh my gosh, Well,
12:54
Speaker 1: a lot of people know it from Disney, and they
12:56
Speaker 1: know me from leg Shine, But really, I'm from Tennessee
12:59
Speaker 1: and I've been singing since before I could talk. Country girl.
13:03
Speaker 1: My whole my whole life is singing Lebanon, Tennessee. I
13:07
Speaker 1: never knew there was a Lebanon, Tennessee. Most people, she said,
13:14
Speaker 1: I was sing every chance in l A and Disney
13:18
Speaker 1: and all those cool things. You know. I was doing
13:21
Speaker 1: talent competitions when I was younger, and I just wanted more.
13:24
Speaker 1: I actually gave like this ghetto little CD than my
13:28
Speaker 1: mama made on her windows PC. I gave this casting
13:30
Speaker 1: lady at this huge casting call with like five thousand kids.
13:33
Speaker 1: A year later, she asked me to be on Disney's
13:35
Speaker 1: Talent competition. From there, I was auditioning for shows, not
13:38
Speaker 1: getting them because I was not good then I got
13:40
Speaker 1: a couple and then from there I got a movie.
13:43
Speaker 1: And that's when it was like, okay, well most world
13:45
Speaker 1: is different. Now you're a good thing. You didn't get
13:48
Speaker 1: finesse because maybe maybe out here for ness and you know,
13:51
Speaker 1: you go to them small town, they'd be like, yeah,
13:52
Speaker 1: you want to be maybe a star. But my mom
13:59
Speaker 1: is un and as of well, she's an entrepreneur. She
14:01
Speaker 1: comes from an entrepreneur family. So she was like, Mom,
14:05
Speaker 1: I know, I think it sold up. How you really
14:07
Speaker 1: just took some accountability. What you said was you went
14:10
Speaker 1: on some auditions, you tried for some things, and you
14:12
Speaker 1: didn't get them because you weren't good. Most people will
14:15
Speaker 1: not admit that. Oh no. I definitely looked back and
14:18
Speaker 1: I'm like that was rough, like rooting for her, thank god,
14:22
Speaker 1: But you know, everything is trial and error. And I
14:24
Speaker 1: feel like, because I was so green, I didn't know
14:26
Speaker 1: what work I did. I knew what didn't, so I
14:28
Speaker 1: just had to, you know, evolve and adapt. But was
14:31
Speaker 1: singing I can always rope somebody in Okay. I looked
14:34
Speaker 1: online the little research and it says that you are actress, singer,
14:38
Speaker 1: rapper and lord dancing. What BYA was this I've been
14:41
Speaker 1: trying to work with you guys. When I used to
14:47
Speaker 1: when I was younger, I used to wrap yes, But
14:49
Speaker 1: now the girls really be rapping, So I don't even
14:51
Speaker 1: want to put that when I don't want to, don't
14:53
Speaker 1: want somebody to interview, like yeah, kid, the freestyle real quick,
14:57
Speaker 1: also right, but also to their like, I really respect
15:01
Speaker 1: the girls out here who are coming with them sickening
15:04
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, that's not these girls, these dudes.
15:07
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know, West females, we gotta work
15:09
Speaker 1: harder just to get the same respect, which is not cute,
15:11
Speaker 1: but per we do we do at school. You definitely
15:13
Speaker 1: said that. So Strength of a Woman Festival is coming
15:15
Speaker 1: up in Atlanta, May sixth to the eighth. Now it's
15:18
Speaker 1: had like Mayor J Blige obviously and featuring some amazingly
15:21
Speaker 1: talented women since you brought them up. You have legendary
15:24
Speaker 1: artists like Shaka Khan, you have Escape, You even have
15:27
Speaker 1: newer talent like Queen Nyja arm A Red of the Great,
15:30
Speaker 1: who is in fact from Atlanta. So Coco, I think
15:34
Speaker 1: it's safe to say that it really is the Year
15:36
Speaker 1: of the Woman, Like women have music in a choke hole.
15:40
Speaker 1: I'm not arguing with nobody. Do you feel like this
15:43
Speaker 1: is your time to come in? And how or where
15:45
Speaker 1: do you think you can actually leave your mark at
15:47
Speaker 1: such a time where women are so oh well, I
15:50
Speaker 1: definitely feel like people that can watch my journey, they
15:54
Speaker 1: can put into perspective that things really do take time,
15:57
Speaker 1: and hopefully they can stay motivated to continue on their
16:00
Speaker 1: paths of achieving whatever it is that they dream about,
16:03
Speaker 1: and that keeps them up the things that they can't
16:05
Speaker 1: imagine not doing because people don't know, like I started young,
16:09
Speaker 1: but like I've been doing this and I had a
16:11
Speaker 1: long long time where everything was moving slow, you know,
16:15
Speaker 1: and I watched like a peek and then I watched
16:17
Speaker 1: a fall. But now I feel like I'm back at
16:19
Speaker 1: the peak, and so I want to tell people, like,
16:21
Speaker 1: just because you're in a valley doesn't mean you're done.
16:23
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean your windows closed. It just means there's
16:25
Speaker 1: gonna be a different route than what you thought. But
16:27
Speaker 1: just keep walking in that route. You know? Now, is
16:29
Speaker 1: the internet correct? One? It says shout out was wisdom
16:33
Speaker 1: from a twenty four year old. Okay, put that back.
16:41
Speaker 1: So tell me what came first, music or acting? Oh,
16:44
Speaker 1: music for sure, Music for sure. I actually I won
16:47
Speaker 1: this talent competition. I was competing against my age I
16:50
Speaker 1: won that one, and then I competed against adults. I
16:52
Speaker 1: won that one, and the judge was the one that
16:54
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I'll work with her for free. He
16:55
Speaker 1: worked with me for a year and that's when I
16:57
Speaker 1: created that get a little ep if I like leapovers
17:00
Speaker 1: at basketball. It was the start. It was. It was
17:04
Speaker 1: the start. So singing was my first thing. And then
17:06
Speaker 1: I was bothering my mom like what else can I do?
17:08
Speaker 1: She was like, just audition for the Brocket commercial. I
17:10
Speaker 1: don't know, child, So then I didn't. I was like, oh,
17:12
Speaker 1: this is cute too, So I started doing both and
17:15
Speaker 1: whenever one was like slower, the other one would be faster.
17:18
Speaker 1: So you always have something something to do with. She's smart,
17:21
Speaker 1: she know how. She like, I'm gonna work every angle
17:23
Speaker 1: basketball music, I'm gonna do it all. Oh my god,
17:27
Speaker 1: where did basketball come from? Is that a real thing?
17:30
Speaker 1: Well for me, yeah, my dad played professional ball, so
17:34
Speaker 1: I thought sports was going to be my way in.
17:36
Speaker 1: But then I realized that you can get paid to sing,
17:39
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm gonna take a permit time.
17:42
Speaker 1: So were you really not into sports? It was just
17:44
Speaker 1: more like the family. Oh no, I was into it.
17:46
Speaker 1: I'm so okay. I was. I was very into it,
17:49
Speaker 1: but I was more like I felt more in my
17:52
Speaker 1: passion bag when I was on a stage or when
17:54
Speaker 1: I'm in a studio. So I had to chase that
17:56
Speaker 1: how tall are you? That's a good height for like
18:00
Speaker 1: women's basketball. I would never know. I'm not even five feet.
18:03
Speaker 1: So I just so you definitely wouldn't relax. Okay, So
18:09
Speaker 1: how the hell did you get the role of playing
18:12
Speaker 1: Hillary Banks on bel Air Man? I mean, it's still
18:16
Speaker 1: such a blessing. I literally whenever I see the advertising,
18:19
Speaker 1: I'm like, thank you guys, thank you God. Because I
18:22
Speaker 1: actually didn't want an audition for him. It came across
18:25
Speaker 1: my my email like auditions do, and my team was like, yeah,
18:27
Speaker 1: we think you should email for this, and you know,
18:30
Speaker 1: I didn't want to. I have like this impression that
18:33
Speaker 1: I didn't fit the role. I felt like if they
18:35
Speaker 1: were doing a reimagination, if they were doing a recreation,
18:38
Speaker 1: they wanted Hillary to look exactly like you did before,
18:40
Speaker 1: and I was like, my hair doesn't do that. I
18:42
Speaker 1: don't look like that. I'm not that shade. I don't
18:43
Speaker 1: even want to do this. So I told my acting manager,
18:45
Speaker 1: I was like, can I audition for Ashley? He was like, girl,
18:47
Speaker 1: Ashley spoil if. I was like, hey, so I didn't,
18:53
Speaker 1: and I honestly it was very strategic about it. So
18:55
Speaker 1: then I had a conversation with Morgan Cooper, our director
18:58
Speaker 1: and creator, and he basically was saying he had researched me.
19:00
Speaker 1: He knows what I can do, what I bring to
19:02
Speaker 1: the table. He was like, just do that. That's what
19:04
Speaker 1: I'm looking for. So then I got to really play
19:06
Speaker 1: Hillary with no restraints and no like no limiting beliefs
19:10
Speaker 1: about myself of what they were looking for. I just
19:12
Speaker 1: got to like, do me, and a couple of days later,
19:15
Speaker 1: I got that's that's so. That's so dope. And I
19:18
Speaker 1: also seen um in an interview where you were talking
19:21
Speaker 1: about like how um, you know when you got the
19:25
Speaker 1: role and everything, and you know, really how I made
19:26
Speaker 1: you feel because you was like, I might not get this,
19:29
Speaker 1: so I don't want to audition, but then you did
19:31
Speaker 1: it anyway. But that just tells you you know things,
19:33
Speaker 1: you know, life works in mysterious ways because there's so
19:37
Speaker 1: many things that you know, you probably didn't want to
19:39
Speaker 1: do and you did it and you got it and
19:40
Speaker 1: you said, look, man, my whole life is changing all
19:43
Speaker 1: over again. And I like how you talked about the
19:45
Speaker 1: slow times in your career because a lot of artists
19:48
Speaker 1: they don't talk about that. You know. Everybody just talked
19:49
Speaker 1: about like, yeah, I went through the struggle, but you
19:51
Speaker 1: know I made it out. But people never talked about
19:54
Speaker 1: the slow times because you came from Disney and you know,
19:59
Speaker 1: I've seen interview you was talking about like you thought
20:01
Speaker 1: your life was just gonna blow up and just keep
20:04
Speaker 1: increasing and stuff like that. So I really thought that
20:07
Speaker 1: was that was dope too. So with this new found fame,
20:10
Speaker 1: you know, with the with the new show, like, how
20:12
Speaker 1: do you feel now? Do you feel different? Honestly? You know,
20:16
Speaker 1: I have this one interview and the lady who interviewed
20:18
Speaker 1: me said it best. She said, like, we're so happy
20:20
Speaker 1: you're having your renaissance moment. And I was like, oh my,
20:23
Speaker 1: that is literally it like it feels kind of like
20:26
Speaker 1: deja vu because I remember when everything was so live
20:30
Speaker 1: and everyone was talking about what I was doing and
20:34
Speaker 1: I was a kid, you know, I was like so young,
20:36
Speaker 1: I didn't know that that would ever stop. And so
20:38
Speaker 1: for me now, I love that I get to have
20:41
Speaker 1: this opportunity again to like kind of reintroduce myself, you know,
20:44
Speaker 1: because now I'm growing, nobody's telling me what to say
20:47
Speaker 1: or what lines, like, I'm playing this dope character and
20:50
Speaker 1: I know who I am musically and sonically, and also
20:53
Speaker 1: I have all this experience, so I'm like a Ricky
20:57
Speaker 1: and that you are the new, a greater version of yourself.
21:01
Speaker 1: And I think over time it's totally okay for us
21:04
Speaker 1: to continue to find newer, greater versions of ourselves, no
21:07
Speaker 1: matter what that looks like. So who do see you
21:09
Speaker 1: for being being able to go through all of that?
21:11
Speaker 1: And I know that Disney stuff might have been a
21:14
Speaker 1: lot of pressure because I think a lot of people
21:15
Speaker 1: always a song when you come from Disney, Man, you
21:18
Speaker 1: just gonna go Yeah, life is just gonna be beautiful.
21:21
Speaker 1: It's no joke. It's a huge machine. But I look
21:24
Speaker 1: back at it and I'm so grateful for all of
21:26
Speaker 1: those opportunities because I have a whole fan base that's
21:29
Speaker 1: been watching me since we was all like teen, you know,
21:32
Speaker 1: Like it's crazy. They're not like They're not like, you know, faulty.
21:37
Speaker 1: They really stuck with me. So I'm honored and hopefully
21:41
Speaker 1: with my new music and with these new projects, I
21:44
Speaker 1: can inspire them to keep going and like I can
21:46
Speaker 1: be like, thank you all for rocking with me, you know,
21:48
Speaker 1: because without your fans, who's checking for you? Hello? I'm
21:51
Speaker 1: grateful for them because I was like, SI's got like
21:53
Speaker 1: over a million followers. I know, I didn't come from
21:55
Speaker 1: val Air, which is just Premier a couple of weeks.
22:01
Speaker 1: They love her. So did you question your role because
22:05
Speaker 1: of skin complexion? Did you feel like that that was
22:07
Speaker 1: gonna take a big part in it? Oh? I mean
22:10
Speaker 1: when I auditioned, I thought that they were, you know,
22:13
Speaker 1: looking for someone of a lighter shade to to really
22:17
Speaker 1: be similar to O. G. Hillary. So that made me
22:19
Speaker 1: kind of like apprehensive to audition. But once I got
22:23
Speaker 1: the role, I was like, Okay, this is huge, this
22:25
Speaker 1: is a huge moment. This is an honor, This is
22:28
Speaker 1: about representation, This is about opening minds of people who
22:31
Speaker 1: look like me. This is way bigger than me, you know. Yeah,
22:34
Speaker 1: It's so sad how colorism played such a big part
22:37
Speaker 1: and even the things that we think we should try
22:39
Speaker 1: to achieve or things we should go for. So I'm
22:41
Speaker 1: glad that you continue to push through because who else
22:43
Speaker 1: would they have gotten for that role. Like everyone seems
22:45
Speaker 1: to absolutely love you in the role. Thank you. Not
22:49
Speaker 1: about color, but if y'all don't know she's beautiful, you've
22:52
Speaker 1: got some color to her. And I think that's why
22:54
Speaker 1: it's so dope that you're so pro woman, because we
22:57
Speaker 1: want to see more dark skin or darker skin women
23:00
Speaker 1: in the industry. And you're just you're just you just

Speaker 1: I am here to do the baller mail already ready
23:58
Speaker 1: all right, this one is kind of crazy. What's up, y'all?
24:01
Speaker 1: What's up all nation? My twin brother is smashing our cousin.
24:05
Speaker 1: His nasty ass won't stop, and it's completely out of pocket,
24:09
Speaker 1: and I want to tell our dad and our cousin's dad.
24:14
Speaker 1: This is completely discussing, and I feel like I need
24:16
Speaker 1: to put them on blasts. What do y'all think? What
24:23
Speaker 1: my lord? We have to start having them put their
24:26
Speaker 1: race down because I'm trying to figure out or not
24:31
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out. I want you to tell
24:34
Speaker 1: the folks. Honestly, this is chaotic, chaotic what I'm hearing.
24:44
Speaker 1: I'm okay. So, as I was coming up, I was
24:47
Speaker 1: always like the goody goody. I was always like the
24:50
Speaker 1: second mom. I'm the oldest of all my siblings, so
24:53
Speaker 1: my intuition is saying snitch my intention. But you know what,
24:58
Speaker 1: here's another thing. I feel like Karma is a mother,
25:02
Speaker 1: it really is. And so sometimes I don't know me personally,
25:07
Speaker 1: I would maybe you know what I would do. Maybe
25:08
Speaker 1: I'll be on some like inspector type stuff like leave
25:11
Speaker 1: some clues, leave some clues around so in that way
25:14
Speaker 1: the Lord can tell them and they'll see the clue
25:16
Speaker 1: and then they piece it together. And then I wasn't
25:18
Speaker 1: a snitch, you know what I'm saying. I was just
25:19
Speaker 1: I was just working for Christ, the Lord do his work,
25:22
Speaker 1: the Lord. You just work. Hey man, girl, I gotta
25:26
Speaker 1: to say all I'm gonna say I is y'all nasty
25:28
Speaker 1: and um, you know, if you need to snitch, then
25:31
Speaker 1: go ahead. I'm sorry, like snitch just just this is
25:34
Speaker 1: just you? Is that illegal? Not everywhere? So that's why
25:40
Speaker 1: I need to know where y'all that is You Caucasians,
25:43
Speaker 1: what race are you and what state are you in?
25:46
Speaker 1: Because if your state allows it, then leave them be.
25:50
Speaker 1: If if you'll state allows it, clearly that's what y'all
25:54
Speaker 1: need to tell somebody because that is nasty. You need
25:58
Speaker 1: to tell somebody. You need to tell a family member.
26:00
Speaker 1: You might not have to be the one to deliver
26:02
Speaker 1: the bad news, but you should tell somebody to tell
26:05
Speaker 1: somebody because this is nasty and it's and it is
26:09
Speaker 1: bad because yeah, I see the movie about some stuff
26:15
Speaker 1: like that too, and their kids didn't look good. You
26:19
