- 1:34Speaker 5: is the blueprint for the R and B ladies. I
- 1:36Speaker 5: never heard that.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Yes, I grew up listening to Jenne Ego back in
- 1:41Speaker 4: her like mixtape days. This is before albums on YouTube
- 1:45Speaker 4: or albums on Apple Music. Janet paved a lot of
- 1:49Speaker 4: the way for a lot of girls.
- 1:51Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Yeah the sound content was it sound? I also think
- 1:55Speaker 4: just the content, you know, the way she was approaching
- 1:58Speaker 4: her music stuff she was talking about out. Her first
- 2:01Speaker 4: record was called Wait No More. That kind of took
- 2:04Speaker 4: me over. But yeah, Janee, honestly she does it for
- 2:07Speaker 4: the girls.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Wow.
- 2:09Speaker 1: I didn't know Tick was on the show, because I
- 2:10Speaker 1: would have called she was on the show.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I would have called Tack for tickets because I needed
- 2:13Speaker 2: my daughter wanted to go and I had to get tickets.
- 2:15Speaker 1: I was like, damn, I don't know anybody on the show.
- 2:17Speaker 2: But I heard the show was I heard the show
- 2:20Speaker 2: was amazing. Now we got to talk about you knew
- 2:23Speaker 2: mixtape whin it's Diary five.
- 2:25Speaker 5: I don't even like to call when the Diary mixtapes.
- 2:26Speaker 5: He used to be like albums. The used to be
- 2:28Speaker 5: like soundtracks to these young ladies lives.
- 2:30Speaker 1: There's a lot of pain in that.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Yes, this is the first album of Winn's Diary. It
- 2:35Speaker 4: started as a mixtape back in twenty twelve, so you
- 2:39Speaker 4: can imagine just how long it's been since I've released
- 2:42Speaker 4: the Winnes's Diary. My last one was in twenty sixteen.
- 2:45Speaker 4: So this is the fifth edition of Winnes's Diary. The
- 2:48Speaker 4: girls did know me from treat me.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Like somebody somebody that was one of Diary one, the.
- 2:53Speaker 4: Original authentic days, like I say, mixtape days. I feel
- 2:57Speaker 4: like that's why my fan base really grew. So it's
- 3:00Speaker 4: just very special to my day one.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Are you still going through the pain now because we
- 3:05Speaker 2: heard a lot of pain in what fifteen sixteen songs
- 3:07Speaker 2: you put out there.
- 3:08Speaker 4: Absolutely, and that's what it is. It's a diary, y'all.
- 3:10Speaker 4: So this album is much different than the others. There's
- 3:15Speaker 4: a lot of pain. There's a lot of story telling
- 3:17Speaker 4: and honesty, things that I don't like to talk about
- 3:20Speaker 4: all the time, and that's what makes it special. It's
- 3:23Speaker 4: just raw and uncut. But I'm in a much better space.
- 3:27Speaker 4: I wanted to wait to drop this album till now,
- 3:30Speaker 4: till I.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Could really until you got in that space.
- 3:32Speaker 4: Exactly, y'all. Till I was in that space, had to
- 3:35Speaker 4: do some healing, had to do some like I say,
- 3:39Speaker 4: refreshing of myself. And I feel so much better now
- 3:43Speaker 4: that I'm able to drop it in a space where
- 3:45Speaker 4: I'm not just angry and upset. It's more so like
- 3:48Speaker 4: reflecting and I'm teaching and I'm trying to tell my
- 3:52Speaker 4: girls what to do and not to do.
- 3:54Speaker 2: And that was it a bunch of relationships or just
- 3:57Speaker 2: one relationship? Because you said it since twenty sixteen? Was
- 4:00Speaker 2: it a bunch of messed up relationships?
- 4:02Speaker 4: Yeah? I pulled from everything, y'all. I poured from old relationships,
- 4:06Speaker 4: new relationships, things I'm going through and sitting in at
- 4:09Speaker 4: the moment. But this album, honestly was I feel like
- 4:15Speaker 4: just me revealing what happened to me in the past year.
- 4:19Speaker 4: So a lot of a lot of the stories are fresh,
- 4:22Speaker 4: and that's why it's just it's just so it's just
- 4:25Speaker 4: so triggering, and I think, you know, we need that
- 4:27Speaker 4: in R and B. I'm not trying to sugar coat anything.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Oh.
- 4:31Speaker 5: I put you in the same boat tank as Mary J.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Blige and Keisha.
- 4:34Speaker 4: Cole and that's movie.
- 4:36Speaker 3: Thank you trying to make Sadly you make the best
- 4:38Speaker 3: music that you're going.
- 4:39Speaker 4: Through Sadly is great.
- 4:41Speaker 5: That's crazy crazy, it's sad that when you heard you
- 4:45Speaker 5: make some powerful music.
- 4:46Speaker 4: Absolutely, the best music to me comes from my pain
- 4:49Speaker 4: and I appreciate that that market for me. I think
- 4:52Speaker 4: the girls we relate to it, you know what I mean.
- 4:55Speaker 4: I'm not the artist that's trying to be bubblegum. And
- 4:58Speaker 4: you know, I'm not a pop artist. I come from Chicago,
- 5:01Speaker 4: the streets of Chicago.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Quean a Chicago, do you herb. We'll just called you,
- 5:05Speaker 3: thank you.
- 5:05Speaker 4: My brother. Yeah, my perspective is different, and that's why
- 5:10Speaker 4: this album important, y'all. You know, I know it's girls
- 5:12Speaker 4: in the trenches that's going through the same things that
- 5:14Speaker 4: I've dealt with, and every day ain't sunny. So when
- 5:18Speaker 4: this diary is for my real.
- 5:20Speaker 5: Ones, I need to know what the studio session for
- 5:24Speaker 5: Songs about You was like, with you and somewher together
- 5:27Speaker 5: drunk off the killer, venting about dudes, like what was
- 5:29Speaker 5: that about?
- 5:30Speaker 4: You know what? I wish I wish we were. I
- 5:32Speaker 4: actually sent her a couple of songs. Summer has a
- 5:35Speaker 4: crazy schedule. I love my girl, Summer Walker. She is
- 5:38Speaker 4: a mom, you know what I mean. She's also an
- 5:41Speaker 4: R and B artist, working, putting in work. So a
- 5:44Speaker 4: lot of times artists we have to send records through
- 5:46Speaker 4: the email and we get on the phone and chop
- 5:48Speaker 4: it up. So I recorded that record. I had two records.
- 5:52Speaker 4: I sent her Stressing and songs about You. She really
- 5:55Speaker 4: liked Songs about You, and like I said, say, she
- 6:00Speaker 4: sent it back. It was a very easy process for Summer.
- 6:03Speaker 4: She's a girl's girl, so I just appreciate her. A
- 6:06Speaker 4: lot of people try to pin us, you know, they
- 6:08Speaker 4: try to compare us a lot our music and our styles.
- 6:11Speaker 4: So it was really really dope to come together.
- 6:15Speaker 3: So what was the what was the inspiration for that song?
- 6:17Speaker 4: Was it.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Argument with somebody? Were you mad? Like did you go
- 6:21Speaker 3: straight to the studio? Did you let it simmer for
- 6:23Speaker 3: a minute?
- 6:23Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it has the summer you know. The song
- 6:26Speaker 4: is really about when you're in the club or wherever
- 6:28Speaker 4: you are, and you get in your bag, you have
- 6:30Speaker 4: a drink and you start thinking about one person and
- 6:34Speaker 4: it's always you know, sometimes it's the toxic one, but
- 6:37Speaker 4: it's always one person you call. And that's why that
- 6:39Speaker 4: song really hits home because it's summertime, we outside, our
- 6:43Speaker 4: having our vibes, and it's always one person you want
- 6:46Speaker 4: to go home with, you know what I mean?
- 6:49Speaker 5: Tell me what was the her record about? Like what
- 6:52Speaker 5: I want to know? What huh inspired that record?
- 6:55Speaker 3: What did you say? What did you.
- 6:58Speaker 5: Say to the brother that he goes hell?
- 7:02Speaker 4: No? Really triggering for me, it's not laughing too hard,
- 7:12Speaker 4: But my ladies understand, you know these day and age
- 7:15Speaker 4: men are quick too, you know.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Huh what was the handy? Did you ask Hi where
- 7:21Speaker 1: he was? Or let me see your friend?
- 7:22Speaker 4: You can hear you can get here, you know. I
- 7:27Speaker 4: like to I like to be real in my music.
- 7:28Speaker 4: That's that's what does it for me when it's honest
- 7:31Speaker 4: and I was going through a period of time I'm
- 7:33Speaker 4: asking questions, what's going on, what we're doing? Where you
- 7:36Speaker 4: with it? And yeah playing this is hunh damn. So yeah,
- 7:42Speaker 4: that day is home for a lot of women relationships.
- 7:45Speaker 4: I feel like me and you know, it's very hard
- 7:48Speaker 4: for y'all to be honest out here. So huh is
- 7:52Speaker 4: a lot of times the response.
- 7:53Speaker 3: When you think about Hans sometimes I really might not
- 7:56Speaker 3: have heard you.
- 7:56Speaker 1: That's a lie.
- 7:58Speaker 3: That's a lie.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Second to think about what your aunts are gonna be.
- 8:01Speaker 1: So that home gives you that little second.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Please exactly envy, That's that's what it is.
- 8:05Speaker 1: You you who changed black man.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Change were supposed to be teaching.
- 8:10Speaker 1: We done did that in our twenties.
- 8:12Speaker 4: He's right, a lot of times you're thinking about what
- 8:14Speaker 4: you want to say. Yeah, hurt me, so let me ask.
- 8:20Speaker 1: So I got to ask. So when it comes to
- 8:22Speaker 1: all us, how what kind of man is tink looking for?
- 8:27Speaker 3: Right?
- 8:28Speaker 1: Because you get sexy in here and you tell about
- 8:30Speaker 1: you tell you know what you what you want a
- 8:31Speaker 1: man to do to you sexually, But you also talk
- 8:33Speaker 1: about all these toxic relationship it seems like you're looking
- 8:36Speaker 1: for the toxic.
- 8:37Speaker 4: No. Never, we're running from the toxic this year, y'all.
- 8:41Speaker 4: For me, it's it's really about being honest and true.
- 8:44Speaker 4: I think in twenty twenty four, man are such liars.
- 8:47Speaker 4: Come on, man, man are so quick to lie. So uh,
- 8:52Speaker 4: it's then boiled down to being honest. You know. I
- 8:55Speaker 4: like man and securing himself knows what he wants, isn't
- 8:59Speaker 4: afraid to vocalize that in the beginning. And for me,
- 9:05Speaker 4: I'm from Chicago. I like a man that has, uh,
- 9:09Speaker 4: you know, just a strong demeanor. I love a stand
- 9:11Speaker 4: up guy and like I say, y'all will be honest.
- 9:14Speaker 4: A lot of girls just on somebody that's gonna be
- 9:16Speaker 4: real to them and not not play with their feelings.
- 9:19Speaker 5: I feel like you've been searching for love for a
- 9:21Speaker 5: long time. When I think about Whening Diary one wait.
- 9:24Speaker 4: A minute, a minute.
- 9:26Speaker 3: It feels like the whole series is human.
- 9:28Speaker 4: King all my life. I think I need to say
- 9:31Speaker 4: that too. It's so hard to find love when you're
- 9:33Speaker 4: really passionate in your career. So it may seem like
- 9:38Speaker 4: I'm looking for love, but Honestly, I'm just so grounded
- 9:41Speaker 4: in my music. I don't have time to date, and
- 9:44Speaker 4: I wish I did, so I just want to say that,
- 9:47Speaker 4: like I'm not looking for anything, but but you are.
- 9:51Speaker 4: I'm a lover, but I'm so focused on making it
- 9:55Speaker 4: and succeeding. You know. So a lot of times love
- 9:59Speaker 4: just as to the wayside for me, and people don't
- 10:02Speaker 4: know that. Like my music is very it can be
- 10:05Speaker 4: very sappy sometimes, but in real life, emotion does not
- 10:10Speaker 4: run me.
- 10:11Speaker 3: I run my business, thinks say I'm a whole thug.
- 10:14Speaker 4: Yeah, at times I have to be yeah, yeah, you
- 10:17Speaker 4: know how this industry can be. I have a tough
- 10:19Speaker 4: skin on me, So it may seem like that, like
- 10:23Speaker 4: I'm yearning for love, but a lot of times, y'all,
- 10:26Speaker 4: I am so focused on my next bag.
- 10:29Speaker 5: So why is that such a recurring theme? And just
- 10:31Speaker 5: the yearning for love throughout the mistakes?
- 10:33Speaker 4: And now I feel like I know what women want
- 10:35Speaker 4: to hear. And in the past my music has touched
- 10:39Speaker 4: a lot of souls, so I got a cater to that.
- 10:42Speaker 4: You know, I can't leave my women hanging. My music
- 10:45Speaker 4: isn't about flashing money and jewelry and chains. It's about
- 10:48Speaker 4: what they need, and I make sure that I remember
- 10:52Speaker 4: that when I'm writing now with relationships?
- 10:54Speaker 1: Is it both of you, guys, because it takes two
- 10:56Speaker 1: to tago, right? Is it just?
- 10:58Speaker 2: Are you kind of toxic too? Are you part of
- 11:01Speaker 2: the problem?
- 11:03Speaker 4: Well, I think in general everybody is capable of being toxic.
- 11:07Speaker 4: We have days. But I'm I'm such a person that
- 11:13Speaker 4: gives grace and I'm trying to do the right thing.
- 11:16Speaker 4: I'm a very positive person. I'm peaceful, you know what
- 11:19Speaker 4: I mean. Like I love to I love cood vibrations.
- 11:23Speaker 4: So I may have a day. I think we all
- 11:26Speaker 4: have our days. We all have a moment, but that
- 11:28Speaker 4: is not how I answer a relationship, or that's not
- 11:31Speaker 4: how I move in general. You know, for me, I
- 11:35Speaker 4: want peace, y'all. I've been through so much in this industry,
- 11:38Speaker 4: and if you know my story, you know I've just
- 11:41Speaker 4: been through a lot of hardships. So absolutely not. I
- 11:45Speaker 4: want somebody to bring me some peace. I have enough
- 11:47Speaker 4: to struggle and deal with in life.
- 11:50Speaker 5: So I like the record Insane because it shows the
- 11:54Speaker 5: contrast between like physical and emotional detachment after a breakup
- 11:59Speaker 5: and you say I'm in love with the nigga that
- 12:00Speaker 5: won't change. Can't promise that I'm all because because if
- 12:03Speaker 5: he if he come calling, I'm already on my way.
- 12:06Speaker 5: And it's like insanity is doing the same thing over
- 12:08Speaker 5: and over and expecting different results. Why did it feels?
- 12:12Speaker 5: Why was it necessary for you to talk about that
- 12:14Speaker 5: aspect of it?
- 12:16Speaker 4: To me, I was just giving people both perspectives, you
- 12:20Speaker 4: know what I mean? Like, like I say, it's a diary,
- 12:22Speaker 4: so I have to be honest with myself and a
- 12:25Speaker 4: lot of a lot of these songs are stories, and
- 12:28Speaker 4: there was a point in time where I was stuck
- 12:30Speaker 4: to a person, and I think a lot of women
- 12:32Speaker 4: have been there, especially when we're young, you know what
- 12:35Speaker 4: I mean. We're comfortable, it feels good at the moment
- 12:39Speaker 4: and you don't realize until you step back, like, oh,
- 12:43Speaker 4: I was really in something something I shouldn't have been in.
- 12:47Speaker 4: So that was me reflecting, you know what I mean.
- 12:49Speaker 4: And I think, honestly, that's probably the best song that
- 12:53Speaker 4: people really love on the album because it's just honesty.
- 12:56Speaker 5: You know, do you think guys be intentionally trying to
- 13:00Speaker 5: fuck women over or do you think that listen, it's guys.
- 13:03Speaker 5: I might have the best intentions. I really like this woman,
- 13:06Speaker 5: but then you know, sometimes I just make irrational decisions.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Sorry you can say poor choice.
- 13:12Speaker 5: Poor choices, you know, because like I'm not trying to
- 13:15Speaker 5: break your heart.
- 13:17Speaker 4: I think it's a bit of both. I think at
- 13:18Speaker 4: a certain age, you know what you're doing. You know,
- 13:21Speaker 4: at a certain point in your life. You know, we're
- 13:24Speaker 4: not in high school or grammar school, So everything is
- 13:27Speaker 4: a choice, you know what I mean. And for me
- 13:30Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four, it's just a toxic era, you
- 13:34Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, a lot of it has to
- 13:35Speaker 4: do with our influences and what we're listening to, what
- 13:38Speaker 4: we're seeing on Instagram, and what we think is flat
- 13:40Speaker 4: and cool to do. A lot of men, you know,
- 13:43Speaker 4: they'll hurt a woman just because that's that's what the
- 13:45Speaker 4: guys is doing, or that's really you know what I'm saying.
- 13:47Speaker 4: They feeding off of what everybody else is on. So
- 13:51Speaker 4: it's a choice. It's a choice. I don't think, you know,
- 13:55Speaker 4: like I said, guys know what they're doing.
- 13:57Speaker 5: I agree with that whole heartedly, because you know, I
- 13:59Speaker 5: think that sometimes these dudes treat their homeboys better than
- 14:01Speaker 5: they treat their girls. Like the lady that you laying
- 14:04Speaker 5: down with every night, Like you'll be more loyal to
- 14:06Speaker 5: your dudes. You don't want to lie to your dudes.
- 14:08Speaker 5: You don't want to do your dude dirty, but you
- 14:10Speaker 5: don't got no problem doing that to me.
- 14:12Speaker 4: And know how to be loyal, and that is that's
- 14:14Speaker 4: why I say it's a choice. Men know how to
- 14:16Speaker 4: be loyal. They loyal to their members, They loyal to
- 14:19Speaker 4: they guys, they're loyal to they dog. Hello, y'all know
- 14:26Speaker 4: how to be loyal and y'all know how to stick
- 14:27Speaker 4: to one person. So hey, it's a choice.
- 14:30Speaker 1: I agree.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Do you think it's also hard dating somebody or being
- 14:34Speaker 2: with somebody in the industry?
- 14:36Speaker 4: Oh?
- 14:36Speaker 2: Yes, because that's it's it's a total difference. It's not
- 14:38Speaker 2: it's not an average life. It's it's more of a
- 14:40Speaker 2: difficult life. And if you don't understand that, your insecurities
- 14:43Speaker 2: take over.
- 14:44Speaker 1: That has a lot to do with on both sides.
- 14:45Speaker 4: It's a lot harder. Like you say, you have to
- 14:49Speaker 4: be secure, and it's so much temptation in this industry.
- 14:53Speaker 4: You know, guys, guys that are in the industry, they
- 14:55Speaker 4: have a lot, a lot more to offer, So it's
- 14:58Speaker 4: more women, and it's more DM I'm saying. It's more
- 15:02Speaker 4: like I say, distractions and everybody is accessible in the industry.
- 15:06Speaker 4: So absolutely it's ten times hotter. But that's why I
- 15:10Speaker 4: say I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind dating a regular guy.
- 15:15Speaker 3: You would date a nice, hard working.
- 15:18Speaker 4: The hardworking, honest man.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Okay, would you date a guy in the industry?
- 15:21Speaker 4: Again, I'm not against it, but I'm open to everything
- 15:25Speaker 4: I think. I think the industry, like I said, it
- 15:29Speaker 4: plays a part. Uh, the industry just plays a part,
- 15:32Speaker 4: like the distractions. So I would totally date honest working man.
- 15:38Speaker 3: Okay. Now let's get to it. Which one of these
- 15:39Speaker 3: songs about hit Maker? Is it huh?
- 15:41Speaker 5: Is it stressing? Is it blessed Me? Don't Scratch Me?
- 15:44Speaker 5: Is it lows and highs?
- 15:45Speaker 3: Which hit?
- 15:46Speaker 1: Is it hit and lick?
- 15:46Speaker 3: Does it make it make sense?
- 15:47Speaker 4: Which the main listen? I feel like the entire album
- 15:53Speaker 4: is could relate to him or say any man, you
- 15:57Speaker 4: know what I mean. I purposely waited to drop this
- 16:00Speaker 4: so that it wasn't fourteen songs about one person. But
- 16:05Speaker 4: in this situation, you know, if you know our history,
- 16:08Speaker 4: we went through a lot of turmoil, so there's a
- 16:11Speaker 4: bit of him and a lot of these a lot
- 16:14Speaker 4: of these records, and he knows that we worked on
- 16:17Speaker 4: an album together.
- 16:18Speaker 1: How was that?
- 16:18Speaker 4: And that process was different for me. It took a
- 16:23Speaker 4: lot of maturity for me to get in that booth
- 16:26Speaker 4: and for us to come to agreement on these songs.
- 16:29Speaker 4: We had hard days where he had to walk out,
- 16:31Speaker 4: and that's just what it is. I couldn't. I couldn't.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Did y'all have to have a conversation before, because I mean,
- 16:38Speaker 2: y'all were together, Like you said, it was a toxic
- 16:41Speaker 2: at times, but y'all made great music with each other.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Most people would have been like, fat, I ain't working
- 16:46Speaker 2: with him, you know. Most women probably would have been like,
- 16:49Speaker 2: I can't see him again. But y'all were able to
- 16:52Speaker 2: How was that conversation? And who put that together? Where
- 16:54Speaker 2: y'all said, you know, let's squash this out and do
- 16:56Speaker 2: this together.
- 16:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I had to take take the emotion out of it.
- 17:00Speaker 4: And we were already in a contract, so there were obligations.
- 17:07Speaker 4: And that's what I think the world doesn't know. You know,
- 17:09Speaker 4: we already had ties and things were already in motion. So,
- 17:14Speaker 4: like I say, it took a lot of maturity to say, Hey,
- 17:17Speaker 4: I'm gonna go in this booth, I'm gonna do I'm
- 17:19Speaker 4: gonna do my best today. You know what I'm saying.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Whatever I can give, If it's ten, that's the best
- 17:25Speaker 4: I can give. And you know that. That's also why
- 17:28Speaker 4: it did take some time, because I needed time away
- 17:30Speaker 4: to get my mind together. I can't look at you today.
- 17:33Speaker 4: I can't you know, I can't be around you listening
- 17:35Speaker 4: to what you want to say right now. So I
- 17:38Speaker 4: give God a lot of credit, y'all. Like it took
- 17:41Speaker 4: a lot for me to put this album out.
- 17:43Speaker 1: When did that happen? When did you make that.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Call to be like, look, let's put the bullshit to
- 17:47Speaker 2: the side and you f me, let's just make this album.
- 17:50Speaker 1: How did that happen? And what was that call?
- 17:51Speaker 3: Like?
- 17:51Speaker 1: Did he call you? Did you call him? Was it management?
- 17:54Speaker 1: Was it the label?
- 17:55Speaker 4: Yeah, he actually reached out to me, and it took
- 17:59Speaker 4: for to sit down and really have a just a
- 18:02Speaker 4: long conversation. I'm talking hours of talking, and it took maturity,
- 18:09Speaker 4: you know, like most people would have through the twel
- 18:11Speaker 4: I can't I'm not speaking to you again. But I
- 18:13Speaker 4: had to think about my career. I had to think about.
- 18:16Speaker 4: Like I said, I was in a contract already, so
- 18:19Speaker 4: I had to put on put on my my poker
- 18:22Speaker 4: face and get in the field and you know, do
- 18:26Speaker 4: what wasn't popular at the time. It wasn't cool to say, Hey,
- 18:29Speaker 4: I'm going to the studio with hit Maker today. So
- 18:32Speaker 4: you know, I took a lot of I took a
- 18:35Speaker 4: lot of I had a lot of people dropping opinions
- 18:38Speaker 4: in my ear, and I had to kind of just
- 18:40Speaker 4: tunnel vision and focus on the end goal. I want
- 18:43Speaker 4: my album out. I want to have an album that
- 18:46Speaker 4: feels elevated. And for that reason, I went ahead and
- 18:51Speaker 4: we worked.
- 18:53Speaker 5: Is it true that he asked you for two million
- 18:54Speaker 5: dollars because he was mad that you wanted to go
- 18:57Speaker 5: to a project independently.
- 18:59Speaker 4: Well, I will say that we did have a contract
- 19:03Speaker 4: in place. The details of the contract are really personal,
- 19:08Speaker 4: and that's that's where I was at faut at. You know,
- 19:10Speaker 4: sometimes it's best to just lay low about details and
- 19:13Speaker 4: things like that. But hit Maker was paid, and I
- 19:17Speaker 4: think that's fair to say he knows it. And that's
- 19:20Speaker 4: the reason I went forward. Because if I'm putting my
- 19:23Speaker 4: money and I'm investing into something I need all of
- 19:27Speaker 4: mine in return.
- 19:29Speaker 2: I was gonna ask I was doing the album because
- 19:32Speaker 2: you had a lot of sexual songs.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Right, Oh yeah, there's a lot.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Of songs that very intimate, very sexy gives you put
- 19:39Speaker 2: you in that diary. Did y'all get to a point
- 19:41Speaker 2: where it rekindled anything after going through all that at all?
- 19:45Speaker 4: No, I haven't been in that space for hit Maker
- 19:47Speaker 4: for a long time. And that's the that's the gag
- 19:50Speaker 4: that everybody doesn't know. Like I've been so focused on
- 19:54Speaker 4: the music, I don't have time to really even entertain
- 19:57Speaker 4: him or or vice versa. You know, I think it's
- 19:59Speaker 4: best that we can keep things business and the pleasure
- 20:04Speaker 4: is what I think made left because.
- 20:07Speaker 1: It's always that I want that old thing back on
- 20:09Speaker 1: both sides.
- 20:10Speaker 4: Absolutely, But I had to learn. That was a learning
- 20:13Speaker 4: lesson and I think for me that's the biggest gift.
- 20:16Speaker 4: Like every album, every year, I'm getting smarter, like, hey,
- 20:20Speaker 4: I know my next venture, I know what to look
- 20:22Speaker 4: out for. I know when to say no or I
- 20:26Speaker 4: know when to hold back. So I needed to go
- 20:30Speaker 4: through that. You know, I want other women to watch
- 20:32Speaker 4: me and and and learn from my mistakes, you know,
- 20:34Speaker 4: I'm here to be a lesson and a blessing, So
- 20:38Speaker 4: I don't have any regrets. What happened happened. I'm stronger,
- 20:41Speaker 4: I'm smarter. I feel like now I know just how
- 20:46Speaker 4: to play.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Would you put your your next relationship on the ground
- 20:49Speaker 2: like like this, because you guys.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Thank you would just.
- 20:55Speaker 5: Return when you get this nice ups guy right when
- 20:58Speaker 5: you're not gonna put that on the.
- 21:00Speaker 4: Nota post his arm, the back of his head or
- 21:08Speaker 4: you know. I think privacy is so good. Privacy helps
- 21:11Speaker 4: so much, y'all. When the world knows it's it's it's
- 21:14Speaker 4: an extra weight. So to my ladies, y'all, please save
- 21:19Speaker 4: it for you, keep it, keep it private. It's it's
- 21:22Speaker 4: so much peace in privacy.
- 21:24Speaker 5: So when you said on Instagram that you were fighting
- 21:27Speaker 5: so hard to release this album, was that the fight?
- 21:30Speaker 3: Was that the only.
- 21:32Speaker 4: Absolutely? Uh, just the just the battle with with you know,
- 21:36Speaker 4: people on the outside, you know what I'm saying, giving
- 21:39Speaker 4: me their advice and you shouldn't be working with him,
- 21:41Speaker 4: or you know what I'm saying, just scrap the album
- 21:43Speaker 4: start over. I had a lot of dark thoughts about
- 21:46Speaker 4: the album that sometimes I had to you know, I
- 21:49Speaker 4: second guessed it and hey, y'all, should we just go
- 21:51Speaker 4: another route or you know? That's what I mean when
- 21:54Speaker 4: I say I had to fight. I had to push
- 21:56Speaker 4: through those you know, those moments where you're you're not sure,
- 21:59Speaker 4: and like I say, I really have to stand tall
- 22:03Speaker 4: and just be strong and confident, even though the world
- 22:06Speaker 4: you might have had a different feeling at the time,
- 22:08Speaker 4: I had to push through.
- 22:09Speaker 5: That was I don't want to say embarrassing, but what
- 22:11Speaker 5: was the thing that came out that you weren't most
- 22:14Speaker 5: proud of?
- 22:14Speaker 3: I remember they said you put hands on him.
- 22:17Speaker 4: Of course, that honestly was the peak for me. If
- 22:20Speaker 4: anybody knows me, y'all know, I'm not even the internet
- 22:24Speaker 4: type of person. I go live maybe twice a year,
- 22:28Speaker 4: so to be live doing that it did strike a
- 22:31Speaker 4: nerve in me because who I am as a person
- 22:34Speaker 4: is so much better than that. And I'm very private,
- 22:38Speaker 4: so it came as a shock. But I'm a real
- 22:42Speaker 4: woman and I want people to know that life is.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Full of ups and downs, lows and high.
- 22:49Speaker 4: Lows and highs. Thank you, Charla Mane, thank you. That
- 22:52Speaker 4: was perfect. But yeah, life is full of loads and highs,
- 22:55Speaker 4: and I think it gave people just an insight of,
- 23:00Speaker 4: you know, my reality. I'm not just a perfect person.
- 23:03Speaker 4: I never want to come across like I'm perfect. So
- 23:07Speaker 4: I don't regret it. But that was like a peak
- 23:09Speaker 4: moment that I look back and I say, I'm gonna
- 23:12Speaker 4: learn from that and do better.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Last question about that, I just before you move on
- 23:17Speaker 2: the time of y'all, I think you were out the
- 23:18Speaker 2: country and ran into each other. Were y'all recording at
- 23:21Speaker 2: that time, or y'all would just just happened to just
- 23:23Speaker 2: it just you're out the country, just happened to see
- 23:25Speaker 2: each other, just like happenstance.
- 23:27Speaker 4: No, we just happened to see each other. I was
- 23:29Speaker 4: there for my friend's birthday, so I had no idea
- 23:33Speaker 4: he was in the same country as me. We had
- 23:36Speaker 4: no clue, and we it was just ironic.
- 23:40Speaker 5: Did you look at that for a moment and be like, damn,
- 23:42Speaker 5: this is divine. Maybe it's meant to be for a second,
- 23:47Speaker 5: let's pit a second.
- 23:49Speaker 4: I mean, I guess so, I mean it had to
- 23:51Speaker 4: happen for me to learn, So maybe God was trying
- 23:54Speaker 4: to pivot me. So, like I said, it might have
- 23:57Speaker 4: been divine timing. So that I could see what was
- 23:59Speaker 4: really happening in the streets.
- 24:01Speaker 2: Well, y'all still talking at that time, y'all still trying
- 24:03Speaker 2: to work it out, and he just happy with another girl.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Enough. I can see her visibly upset.
- 24:11Speaker 4: Yeah, it's triggering, y'all. Like love it hard. I love hard,
- 24:15Speaker 4: and people, you know, when you when you're really invested
- 24:18Speaker 4: in somebody, you expect them to love the way that
- 24:21Speaker 4: you love them. So it's it's a triggering situation. And
- 24:26Speaker 4: I'm just glad that I'm in this space now. Like
- 24:28Speaker 4: I say, y'all, I've grown so much. It's it's really
- 24:31Speaker 4: I want to put it behind me. And it's sad,
- 24:34Speaker 4: like when you attach yourself to somebody, everything comes back up.
- 24:37Speaker 4: Every every interview is going to be a question. So
- 24:40Speaker 4: I'm trying to move forward in the most peaceful way.
- 24:43Speaker 4: I really do wish him the best. I hope he is,
- 24:46Speaker 4: you know, I hope he's well. And I'm moving forward.
- 24:51Speaker 5: When you when you talk about the song, loads and highs,
- 24:53Speaker 5: have you healed from the things you you say in
- 24:56Speaker 5: that record, because you say still up on my grind,
- 24:58Speaker 5: can't get caught up in new feelings, trying to move forward,
- 25:00Speaker 5: but my heart's still healing for real, but you've been
- 25:02Speaker 5: getting colder by the days.
- 25:04Speaker 3: POPA thirty for the pain. Are you out of that space?
- 25:09Speaker 4: I think anybody that goes through something traumatic you can
- 25:13Speaker 4: be out of a space. But there's moments where you
- 25:15Speaker 4: have your days. So I'm healed, but hey, you know,
- 25:19Speaker 4: tomorrow something I might read something or I might see
- 25:22Speaker 4: something that triggers me. I am so human, y'all. I
- 25:26Speaker 4: don't have a filter on me, so I'm still healing.
- 25:30Speaker 4: I'm in the process.
- 25:32Speaker 2: What putins in a happy space? What makes you happy?
- 25:34Speaker 2: What makes you calm and relax?
- 25:37Speaker 4: And you know it makes me happy seeing my fans
- 25:40Speaker 4: and actually touching my fans when I'm on the road.
- 25:44Speaker 4: I'm the most commonest, nicest. It gives me so much joy, y'all.
- 25:48Speaker 4: Like when people relate to your music come up to
- 25:51Speaker 4: you and say thank you, I needed that song. It
- 25:53Speaker 4: makes everything worth it. And also just seeing my music elevate, y'all.
- 25:58Speaker 4: This is my first time I hitting number one gradually.
- 26:00Speaker 4: You know what I mean that that takes a lot
- 26:02Speaker 4: for me. I'm an independent artist. I don't have a
- 26:04Speaker 4: crazy backing force behind me. Everything is done with my
- 26:08Speaker 4: team and that means the most to me when you
- 26:11Speaker 4: kind of see your work being paid off, because we
- 26:14Speaker 4: work hard as women. We work so hard, and I
- 26:18Speaker 4: don't want to say harder than guys, but I'm gonna
- 26:20Speaker 4: say it. We work ten times harder than the guys
- 26:23Speaker 4: just for a little piece of respect. So when you
- 26:27Speaker 4: see your work being paid off is the ultimate, the ultimate,
- 26:31Speaker 4: you know, joy.
- 26:32Speaker 3: I also think people don't realize how successful you are.
- 26:35Speaker 5: Like you a gold artist, you got gold plax, you're
- 26:38Speaker 5: right for mad people, Like you're on tour, you just
- 26:42Speaker 5: got a number one, like you got a very successful career.
- 26:45Speaker 4: I think, No, I'm so blessed.
- 26:47Speaker 3: Oh yeah you too, thank you.
- 26:49Speaker 4: I'm so blessed. And it's just because I'm not super
- 26:53Speaker 4: super flashy or I'm not on the grim trying to
- 26:55Speaker 4: put it in their face every day. Yeah, I'm blessed,
- 27:00Speaker 4: and I want I want people to know, like it's
- 27:02Speaker 4: cool to be humble. Everybody don't need to know, you
- 27:05Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, your bank account, like I like
- 27:08Speaker 4: to appeal to the trenches. And for me, you know,
- 27:12Speaker 4: I want to be relatable forever. I don't want nobody
- 27:15Speaker 4: to think like hoin you on your level. I'm with you,
- 27:18Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, So I'm humble with it.
- 27:20Speaker 5: I wonder how that works for you though in this era,
- 27:22Speaker 5: because we are in an era where everybody cares about
- 27:25Speaker 5: everything except for the music.
- 27:26Speaker 3: Even though you're super successful just because of your music,
- 27:29Speaker 3: they do want you to be live. They do want
- 27:30Speaker 3: you to be posting.
- 27:31Speaker 4: Pics like it's the gift and the curse. For me,
- 27:34Speaker 4: I'm not distracted by that, like y'all, I get my
- 27:36Speaker 4: joy from from other other things. Instagram does not run
- 27:39Speaker 4: my life. And honestly, putting your business out on Instagram
- 27:44Speaker 4: every day isn't even smart anymore. People are pocket watchers,
- 27:47Speaker 4: they're envious, their haters. You have a lot of people
- 27:51Speaker 4: that will try to come around you for the wrong reasons.
- 27:54Speaker 4: And I want everything genuine, so I don't I don't
- 27:58Speaker 4: mind playing, you know, And the humble route is working
- 28:01Speaker 4: for me. Like I say, I'm blessed, and that's what
- 28:05Speaker 4: it is. You know, I don't need approval from nobody.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Do you feel like people don't see the work that
- 28:11Speaker 2: you put in or look past you, right, because the
- 28:14Speaker 2: way you came in the game you came is so strong, right, Yeah,
- 28:17Speaker 2: And it was like, I mean you you didn't did
- 28:20Speaker 2: damn it? Everything you didn't work with every artist you
- 28:22Speaker 2: wanted to work with, you probably didn't rooting for every
- 28:24Speaker 2: artist you you platinum, your your gold, You're on tours,
- 28:28Speaker 2: sold out a readers, by the way, and this is
- 28:29Speaker 2: and when we say sold out, they say, we just
- 28:31Speaker 2: put the tarp on the third right on a third level.
- 28:34Speaker 2: I mean sold out, sold out. So do you feel
- 28:36Speaker 2: like people look past you at times?
- 28:38Speaker 4: I do. I do. I won't lie and be like nah,
- 28:41Speaker 4: I feel like I'm getting all my j just too.
- 28:44Speaker 4: There are a lot of days where I want to
- 28:45Speaker 4: be included in a conversation. And for me, that is
- 28:50Speaker 4: what keeps me working. Like I'm not satisfied yet. I'm
- 28:54Speaker 4: not throwing in a towel yet. I still got work
- 28:56Speaker 4: to do. But in the last few years, y'all, honestly,
- 29:01Speaker 4: I feel like the attention is there. My audience is
- 29:04Speaker 4: growing the flowers I'm being given, so I don't mind
- 29:08Speaker 4: taking the stairs, you know what I'm saying. The hard
- 29:11Speaker 4: work is giving me so much discipline. So when when
- 29:14Speaker 4: you do see me getting that Grammy or getting that award,
- 29:18Speaker 4: you'll know it's really hard. Work. Nobody paid nobody to
- 29:21Speaker 4: do this, you know what I mean. Nobody's spoon fed
- 29:24Speaker 4: me this. I really worked my ass off to make
- 29:27Speaker 4: it here, So I don't mind it. A lot of
- 29:30Speaker 4: people come up, and it's just as quick as they
- 29:33Speaker 4: come up, you know, they can come down. So I'm
- 29:38Speaker 4: not mad at my process. Every artist is different, you know.
- 29:42Speaker 4: I'm a motivation for the girls just like me that
- 29:44Speaker 4: ain't running around trying to make it in one day.
- 29:47Speaker 4: You know, like, let's part severe, y'all, let's put the
- 29:49Speaker 4: work in. I don't mind.
- 29:51Speaker 5: That's why I was trivial when you said that about Jenaico,
- 29:53Speaker 5: because I slew to Geniago.
- 29:54Speaker 3: I just never heard anybody say that.
- 29:56Speaker 5: But I know a generation of girls who look at
- 29:59Speaker 5: you like that, Like you see all of these girls,
- 30:01Speaker 5: they'd be like, tank that deal, Tank that deal. And
- 30:04Speaker 5: it's not even just you know, fans, it's actual stars
- 30:07Speaker 5: like I see Scissors say that.
- 30:09Speaker 3: I've seen Cardy say that. I've seen a bunch of
- 30:12Speaker 3: people just give it up.
- 30:12Speaker 4: To you so much love. But Jane was that for
- 30:15Speaker 4: me early early in the game. When Janey was you know,
- 30:19Speaker 4: first drop in music. It's not like she was just
- 30:22Speaker 4: everywhere on every radio station, but her music resonated. So
- 30:27Speaker 4: that's how I feel about my music. It's it's not
- 30:29Speaker 4: about a look an image. It's about what touches you
- 30:33Speaker 4: and reaches you. So that's why she's to me like
- 30:37Speaker 4: the blueprint for me because she never had to sell us,
- 30:39Speaker 4: so she never had to, you know, step out of
- 30:44Speaker 4: her boundaries to get to where she at. So yeah, Janey,
- 30:48Speaker 4: she owes the flag for me.
- 30:50Speaker 3: All I think about.
- 30:51Speaker 5: I mean, I love Jenne, but one of the biggest
- 30:53Speaker 5: lines that got to eat the booty like groceries, that's all.
- 30:55Speaker 3: You know. It's kind of like she made that like
- 30:56Speaker 3: ass he can go up big in the community, you
- 30:58Speaker 3: know what I mean.
- 31:00Speaker 4: Lawrence, And that's what it's about, y'all. Influence, it can
- 31:04Speaker 4: come in different ways.
- 31:06Speaker 2: Do you feel like the comparisons help for her, right,
- 31:07Speaker 2: because I think a lot of times we compare compare artists,
- 31:10Speaker 2: and I think it hurts them, like because I remember
- 31:13Speaker 2: when you first came out, they were like, she's the
- 31:15Speaker 2: next Lauren Hill, but she's the female jay Z And
- 31:17Speaker 2: it was like, why do we put those comparisons?
- 31:20Speaker 1: Is tink?
- 31:20Speaker 4: She's absolutely you know, it was too early first of all,
- 31:24Speaker 4: to even say something like that, I think it was
- 31:26Speaker 4: a statement about Aliyah, and like you said, Lauren, and
- 31:30Speaker 4: when you have a lot of work to do it,
- 31:31Speaker 4: you know people are gonna jump on that attack that.
- 31:34Speaker 4: So let the artists be an artist. Everybody is different.
- 31:38Speaker 4: I'm trying to be who God made me to be.
- 31:42Speaker 4: Although I do take I do get influence from them,
- 31:46Speaker 4: I am certainly not the next alia I am. I
- 31:49Speaker 4: am Tink. So yeah, that can. That can definitely, you know,
- 31:54Speaker 4: hurt a person's growth because people are then compare their
- 31:57Speaker 4: stats and their numbers and it's like, okay, okay, well
- 32:00Speaker 4: she ain't making no progress, but in reality, you're doing
- 32:02Speaker 4: it on your own terms.
- 32:03Speaker 3: I agree.
- 32:05Speaker 5: More importantly is the feeling, right, like if somebody says
- 32:07Speaker 5: she's the next Laurence Hill or she's like a Leyah.
- 32:11Speaker 5: We know how we felt when we heard those records.
- 32:15Speaker 5: So it's like, now I'm looking for that feeling. So
- 32:16Speaker 5: the music might be good, but if you don't give
- 32:18Speaker 5: me that feeling, I'm gonna feel let down. But it
- 32:20Speaker 5: can never give you that feeling because you was at
- 32:22Speaker 5: a whole different time in your life.
- 32:23Speaker 1: When you was on a lead.
- 32:25Speaker 3: This is tink right right, that's it. Why do you
- 32:29Speaker 3: keep the pencil writing in it? That Like that's like
- 32:30Speaker 3: your little waye light of flick.
- 32:32Speaker 4: I love that, Yeah, it actually is. It's like the
- 32:35Speaker 4: the brand for Winnes's Diary, my first mixtape. I came
- 32:38Speaker 4: in with the pencil, so you know, as soon as
- 32:41Speaker 4: you hit a pencil, you know it's a bachelor. It's
- 32:42Speaker 4: about to get.
- 32:43Speaker 3: Real, pretty girls.
- 32:46Speaker 5: That feels like an affirmation song, encouraging women to prioritize,
- 32:49Speaker 5: prioritize themselves and self love.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Toxic relationships absolutely, that's why it's the last song I
- 32:56Speaker 4: wanted to leave my girls with uplifting message after all
- 33:00Speaker 4: the toxicity and the album. It's like, never forget who
- 33:04Speaker 4: you are and don't settle for less. And you know
- 33:07Speaker 4: what I mean, if a man doesn't see your worth,
- 33:09Speaker 4: he gotta he gotta go in. I feel like that
- 33:12Speaker 4: song resonates because as black women, we want to be
- 33:16Speaker 4: told we pretty and we want to hear that we
- 33:18Speaker 4: worth you know, we worth something. So yes, pretty girls,
- 33:24Speaker 4: pretty girls. We don't settle, We don't slip, we don't trip.
- 33:27Speaker 3: And you don't you don't you don't get on social
- 33:29Speaker 3: a lot.
- 33:30Speaker 5: But you clearly pay attention because you got a lot
- 33:32Speaker 5: of TikTok TikTok TikTokers on the album.
- 33:36Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, I know the era we're in, social media
- 33:39Speaker 4: is running the world right now, so I made sure
- 33:42Speaker 4: to include some some voice notes that I felt were impactful.
- 33:46Speaker 4: But absolutely, I think TikTok however, I can reach you.
- 33:50Speaker 4: I'm gonna reach you if I gotta go to TikTok
- 33:52Speaker 4: route if I have to, you know, if I have
- 33:54Speaker 4: to come see you on tour in person. You know, however,
- 33:58Speaker 4: I can reach my girls. I'm a get there.
- 34:00Speaker 5: And you asked on Instagram, you ask people which one
- 34:03Speaker 5: the winner's diary was their favorite.
- 34:05Speaker 1: Yes, so people.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Got to ask you which one is your favorite? Which
- 34:08Speaker 3: one resonates with you?
- 34:09Speaker 4: Oh, y'all to five? The number five. I feel like
- 34:12Speaker 4: this is such progression. You know, my early mixtapes I
- 34:16Speaker 4: was in the basement, audio was clipped, It was a
- 34:19Speaker 4: lot of static. I think this album is so polished
- 34:22Speaker 4: and it's so raw, you know. I tried to make
- 34:26Speaker 4: sure that I made an album about all my phases,
- 34:28Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. The downs, there's the highs,
- 34:32Speaker 4: there's the record player for my girls they like to get. Wow,
- 34:36Speaker 4: it's such a you know, just a well cultivated album.
- 34:40Speaker 4: I touched on everything in this one, so that's why
- 34:42Speaker 4: it's going to be my favorite.
- 34:43Speaker 3: This is the last one.
- 34:45Speaker 4: Never Oh Okay, I feel like I still have more
- 34:49Speaker 4: to say. You know, they really been pressing me for
- 34:51Speaker 4: a deluxe, so I got some more work to do.
- 34:55Speaker 4: But it's never done for me, and my story will
- 34:57Speaker 4: never be done. I'm gonna take this to the grave, y'all.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Like I'm one of those artists. I feel like I'm
- 35:02Speaker 4: I'm I got so much more in me. I'm just
- 35:05Speaker 4: now touching that surface. So I'm excited, y'all. This is
- 35:08Speaker 4: not my last one of Diary.
- 35:09Speaker 3: So if you find love, what you will absolutely will
- 35:14Speaker 3: the pin change.
- 35:15Speaker 5: Will those songs be about? Will they be like the
- 35:18Speaker 5: greatest love songs we ever heard?
- 35:20Speaker 4: Yeah, the pencil is still going to be there. Okay,
- 35:23Speaker 4: But I love to make love songs. My earlier win

- 35:29Speaker 4: I like that'll always be so yes, they on the way.
- 35:34Speaker 4: I just need some motivation, so somebody put me in that,
- 35:38Speaker 4: put me in that field, put me in that you
- 35:41Speaker 4: know that space.
- 35:42Speaker 3: Do you ever feel pressure?
- 35:43Speaker 5: Because I ask guys this all the time, like when
- 35:45Speaker 5: guys make all these love making records and they talk
- 35:47Speaker 5: all this shit about what they're gonna.
- 35:48Speaker 3: Do and they getting the better of that.
- 35:50Speaker 5: When you writing grip Tight and H two oh and
- 35:52Speaker 5: all that, are you, do you feel the pressure to
- 35:54Speaker 5: live up to that m I.
- 35:56Speaker 4: Don't feel any pressure, but I will say, you know,
- 35:59Speaker 4: it's the definitely it gives people like something to look
- 36:02Speaker 4: forward to, you know, because there are some some songs
- 36:05Speaker 4: on that that are freakingki. So I think it's just, uh,
- 36:10Speaker 4: it's excites you know whoever I'm with. Not pressure for me,
