- 0:29Speaker 1: for fashion Week. Yeah, I was. I was, But that's
- 0:31Speaker 1: not necessarily like thirst trapping. That's more just like hosting.

- 0:38Speaker 1: be in a sweatsuit. Well, thank you, la. Are you
- 0:41Speaker 1: feeling I felt good. I'm tired, like you know, I'm
- 0:45Speaker 1: working all the time. Just like, yeah, I'm tired. It's
- 0:47Speaker 1: like I thought when I wrapped Being Me, which we
- 0:50Speaker 1: wrapped that in like July, I was like, all right,
- 0:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna give myself a little bit of time. But
- 0:54Speaker 1: it just never really works out like that, which is
- 0:56Speaker 1: a blessing. But it's like so many other things going on.
- 0:59Speaker 1: But I like to stay active, and you're a series regular,
- 1:03Speaker 1: series regular. So season two is going to premiere in January.
- 1:07Speaker 1: The documentary just came out the BMF documentary, and that's
- 1:10Speaker 1: kind of just getting people prepared for season two, which
- 1:13Speaker 1: will come out in January. Were you in Atlanta when
- 1:16Speaker 1: BMF was tearing the city up? Was you? I was?
- 1:19Speaker 1: I was there, like in and out, So I remember
- 1:21Speaker 1: some of it. I remember like I was, you know,
- 1:24Speaker 1: younger at the time, but I do remember sneaking into
- 1:27Speaker 1: a couple of parties and being like, what's going on
- 1:29Speaker 1: in here? Like this is crazy? And yeah, I remember
- 1:32Speaker 1: some of it, But now I'm really in tune because
- 1:34Speaker 1: I did so much. I knew about them obviously, but
- 1:37Speaker 1: so much research about Meech and Terry and just the
- 1:39Speaker 1: whole movement, especially being a part of bm because on
- 1:43Speaker 1: season two, I play a character named Markisha. Now, Markisha
- 1:47Speaker 1: is Terry's girlfriend who's kind of the one who really
- 1:51Speaker 1: introduces him to how to do the game correctly and
- 1:53Speaker 1: kind of introduces him to becoming a man because he
- 1:56Speaker 1: was They were really young, he was like late teens,
- 2:00Speaker 1: and she's like an older girlfriend that's like, no, if
- 2:03Speaker 1: you want to step up, this is what you need
- 2:04Speaker 1: to do and everything in life, appearance, sex and this
- 2:08Speaker 1: and that. So she's just like elevating Terry's game, and
- 2:11Speaker 1: it's crazy because they stayed together pretty much the whole
- 2:15Speaker 1: way through and got back together when Terry came out
- 2:17Speaker 1: of jail. So it's a woman that steps it up
- 2:20Speaker 1: and upgrades him, isn't it You are right now that
- 2:24Speaker 1: some more sexy wow coming back bringing that hashtag back.
- 2:38Speaker 1: It's definitely more sexy. New person though, because Terry's played
- 2:42Speaker 1: by Da Vinci, so new person on the other side
- 2:45Speaker 1: of mid Yeah, does that ever get uncomfortable and awkward?
- 2:48Speaker 1: It's always when is it not? You was homing? Y'all
- 2:52Speaker 1: go out? Sometimes it's never not uncomfortable, Like at the
- 2:56Speaker 1: end of the day. Even on a close set, it's
- 2:58Speaker 1: still a close set could still be like five to
- 3:01Speaker 1: ten people. So when people say, oh, close set, it's
- 3:03Speaker 1: not just me and him. You still got the camera,
- 3:05Speaker 1: the sound producer, director or whatever, so it's still people
- 3:09Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, it's it's awkward in sex scenes and
- 3:12Speaker 1: never how people see them on TV, Like on TV
- 3:15Speaker 1: is flowing You're like, oh, they really doing something. When
- 3:18Speaker 1: you're doing that, it's like cut, stand here, do this,
- 3:21Speaker 1: put your leg here, arm here, Like, it's not how
- 3:23Speaker 1: people it's not. Yeah, it's not just like action and
- 3:28Speaker 1: y'all go ahead. I think I literally have full blown
- 3:31Speaker 1: debates and arguments with people who are telling me like, no,
- 3:34Speaker 1: y'all really having sex. I'm like, you're telling me like,
- 3:38Speaker 1: like no, not, that's real. That's real. Then somebody told
- 3:40Speaker 1: me the other day they was like, but I mean
- 3:41Speaker 1: you could tell them, right if like you really wanted
- 3:43Speaker 1: to do it for real? Though, right, I was like,
- 3:45Speaker 1: why would you want to do it? Why would you? Like? What?
- 3:48Speaker 1: But people, really you're doing I think that, by the way,
- 3:55Speaker 1: that's just I'm saying. So that's a portal if exactly,
- 3:58Speaker 1: Like I'm like, what hr would be? Like, what is
- 4:02Speaker 1: going on in you just say thank you? That means
- 4:04Speaker 1: I'm a wonderful than it looks like that's still doing
- 4:07Speaker 1: it the fact that you believe that thank you? How
- 4:09Speaker 1: do you prepare yourself for that? Like do you have
- 4:11Speaker 1: to talk to him like I'm about to kiss you? Like?
- 4:13Speaker 1: How does that? Yeah? You guys, Well, first of all,
- 4:14Speaker 1: you have rehearsals before you have to rehearse it, but
- 4:18Speaker 1: you rehearse it with you know, sweatsuit, your clothes on
- 4:20Speaker 1: and just make sure you're comfortable. And then you have
- 4:23Speaker 1: a sidebar with the person like, all right, so how
- 4:25Speaker 1: you want to do this? Like, I don't want to
- 4:27Speaker 1: make it uncomfortable for you, and vice versas, so let's
- 4:29Speaker 1: work through this together. It becomes more like a choreograph thing,
- 4:33Speaker 1: almost like a dance kind of like okay, then put
- 4:35Speaker 1: your hand here, then move and this and a lot
- 4:37Speaker 1: of times what females don't know. If you're uncomfortable about something,
- 4:41Speaker 1: it's great because your co star can help you, meaning
- 4:44Speaker 1: like I don't like this part of my body? Can
- 4:46Speaker 1: you just put your hand right there so that when
- 4:48Speaker 1: it camera comes, so you work together to try to
- 4:50Speaker 1: make it look great. Isn't it easier being single than
- 4:52Speaker 1: having to do stuff like this too? So you don't
- 4:54Speaker 1: have to go home and be like so today on set?
- 4:57Speaker 1: She knows you have to have those conversations. She knows
- 5:00Speaker 1: not anymore. Am I having a conversation? Well, I mean,
- 5:04Speaker 1: out of respect for the person I was with, I
- 5:06Speaker 1: would talk like I'm not just gonna let him turn
- 5:08Speaker 1: the TV on the scene. He says he never watched THEMBO.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Who knows, you know, maybe maybe not, but if he's
- 5:13Speaker 1: an acting now too, did you have any sex? Did
- 5:15Speaker 1: you have sex? Scene? Okay, so let me ask you
- 5:18Speaker 1: a question, because you're a married man, would you do
- 5:21Speaker 1: a sex scene? Oh you don't think my wife? Nah?
- 5:27Speaker 1: Because him and his wife were so public, you know
- 5:29Speaker 1: what I mean, like they do. Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe. I mean we would. I would do it,
- 5:34Speaker 1: but she would be uncomfort she would be comfortable with it.
- 5:35Speaker 1: She wouldn't be Comora. She would be and I think
- 5:37Speaker 1: she would be. She wouldn't have Probably, Yeah, when they
- 5:39Speaker 1: do the Breakfast Club series and they have their sex scene,
- 5:41Speaker 1: they might have to do it. But you know what
- 5:45Speaker 1: the truth is, I met so many guys and this
- 5:47Speaker 1: is real talk who have told me, like, Lie, I
- 5:49Speaker 1: couldn't be with somebody like you who has filmed sex
- 5:53Speaker 1: scenes before, Like there are guys that are very uncomfortable
- 5:56Speaker 1: with that, Like my girl could never And I'm like,
- 5:58Speaker 1: but this is my career, this is what I do
- 6:00Speaker 1: for a living. And when you're on a show and
- 6:02Speaker 1: you're in a relationship with somebody, at some point, you're
- 6:05Speaker 1: normally gonna have to have sex with the person. I
- 6:09Speaker 1: just couldn't watch. I couldn't watch that scene. Like a
- 6:12Speaker 1: couple of my eyes when when it comes on because
- 6:14Speaker 1: I don't want to see your girl or your wife,
- 6:16Speaker 1: and even though you know it's just straight acting and
- 6:19Speaker 1: none of it is like, yes, he's still touching your body,
- 6:22Speaker 1: still grabbing your ass, and if it's to see where
- 6:24Speaker 1: she has to be like, my man never did it
- 6:26Speaker 1: like this. I don't believe me care as much as
- 6:28Speaker 1: they say. And I'm saying it's respectfully because I noticed
- 6:30Speaker 1: your friend. But Kim's been married four times. You got
- 6:34Speaker 1: a sex tape, you know what I mean. I don't
- 6:35Speaker 1: think guys care as much as this they say they do,
- 6:37Speaker 1: but when it comes down to it, they'll, you know,
- 6:40Speaker 1: they'll be fine. Okay, wow, all right, all right. And
- 6:43Speaker 1: you also have this Intel, your Brown docu series, right, yeah,
- 6:45Speaker 1: so we're working on that fifty and I are producing that,
- 6:48Speaker 1: which I'm so excited about. Um. You know, the thing
- 6:51Speaker 1: about producing too, though, is there's so many layers and
- 6:55Speaker 1: it takes a while. Like we've been wanting to get
- 6:56Speaker 1: this going for a while, and it's it's it is
- 6:58Speaker 1: happening really soon, and I'm excited about it. But it's
- 7:01Speaker 1: not like you know, when I reached out to her
- 7:02Speaker 1: and I got the life rights, you know, in my mind.
- 7:04Speaker 1: It's like I got him, We're just gonna go. But
- 7:06Speaker 1: it's so much in writing the scripts and getting prepared
- 7:09Speaker 1: and when you're doing something like that, it's got to
- 7:12Speaker 1: be done right. And she's executive producing it with us,
- 7:15Speaker 1: so we just want to make sure we get it right.
- 7:17Speaker 1: That's not something that you just rushing and play around
- 7:19Speaker 1: with it together. And Centuria is also an EP on it.
- 7:24Speaker 1: It was crazy because I got the life rights first.
- 7:27Speaker 1: I just literally DM Heurn was like, I'm fascinated by
- 7:29Speaker 1: your story. I would love to meet with you. And
- 7:31Speaker 1: we talked and she said she wanted to do it
- 7:33Speaker 1: with me, and it was funny because I was like, well,
- 7:36Speaker 1: start thinking of producing partners, like we have this one,
- 7:39Speaker 1: that one, that one, like who would you like to
- 7:41Speaker 1: work with? And her and her husband call me. It
- 7:43Speaker 1: was like, there's no other person we want to do
- 7:45Speaker 1: this with except fifty Cents. And I was like that
- 7:47Speaker 1: was music to my ears because that makes my life
- 7:49Speaker 1: a lot easier, Like that's the easiest thing in the
- 7:52Speaker 1: world because the fifth and I do everything together. So
- 7:55Speaker 1: it worked out. But I was like, wow, out of everybody,
- 7:57Speaker 1: they just felt like he would be the one to
- 7:59Speaker 1: really tell that story correctly, probably because the power of
- 8:02Speaker 1: power exactly, and they love power and you know Canan
- 8:05Speaker 1: and being math and all of it. So it's been
- 8:08Speaker 1: great and I'm glad that you have her as an
- 8:10Speaker 1: executive producer too. You know, people were talking about like
- 8:12Speaker 1: all the dimer stuff that's coming out and how people
- 8:15Speaker 1: are affected and you know, how the family's not getting
- 8:19Speaker 1: anything and things like that. Yeah, that was That's that's
- 8:21Speaker 1: the real thing. And my thing is that when you're
- 8:23Speaker 1: talking about somebody's experience and the person is, you know,
- 8:26Speaker 1: blessed to still be alive and be here to tell
- 8:28Speaker 1: us about that experience, how are you not going to
- 8:30Speaker 1: that person to talk to them about their experience, Like
- 8:33Speaker 1: you're going to Google to say how did she feel
- 8:35Speaker 1: in this moment? No, I'm calling Centoya, like, tell me
- 8:37Speaker 1: how you felt in this moment? And it just makes
- 8:39Speaker 1: the story so much more authentic and real and genuine.
- 8:43Speaker 1: Have you committed yourself to your work like you even
- 8:45Speaker 1: care about a love life at this point? Are the
- 8:48Speaker 1: just all business? You know what? When it gets cold outside,
- 8:53Speaker 1: then I then I'm like, hold up all this working shit,
- 9:00Speaker 1: because right now I want it's cald outside. When you're
- 9:03Speaker 1: not working, you need a little Yeah. Then I'm like, damn,
- 9:05Speaker 1: Like summertimes, I'm like, this is my time to shine.
- 9:09Speaker 1: When this winter I'm like, nah, that cat the dude. Hey,
- 9:13Speaker 1: So that means that at some point is what that means? Next? Yeah,
- 9:16Speaker 1: I caught We went to notorious wedding and I caught
- 9:18Speaker 1: the bouquet. Imagine, I don't I'll never get married dating. No,
- 9:24Speaker 1: I'm not. You know, I'm really not dating. It's so crazy.
- 9:26Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't know. It's just like there's nothing
- 9:29Speaker 1: has come my way that's really caught my I'm sure
- 9:31Speaker 1: there's thousands of dudes in the DMS, thousands of dudes
- 9:34Speaker 1: trying to highlight you, But thousands of dudes doesn't mean
- 9:36Speaker 1: it's the right dude or the one that you're like
- 9:38Speaker 1: willing to take time out of your schedule to make
- 9:41Speaker 1: time for. I mean, yeah, a thousands of dudes are
- 9:44Speaker 1: Angela's DM. I mean, it's thousands of dudes all over
- 9:47Speaker 1: the place. But it's got to be the right. You

- 9:57Speaker 1: I'm never getting married again. Wow, I'm you know, it's
- 10:00Speaker 1: one of those things in life that I feel like
- 10:02Speaker 1: I could check it off, like, Okay, I did that.
- 10:04Speaker 1: You know, maybe people want to say they've experienced that.
- 10:06Speaker 1: I've experienced it, and I know the good and the
- 10:09Speaker 1: bad that happened to me, so it's not something I
- 10:11Speaker 1: want to experience again. I can have an incredible relationship
- 10:14Speaker 1: with somebody and not be married. I feel like marriage
- 10:17Speaker 1: at times, And I'm not knocking anybody who's married. It
- 10:19Speaker 1: didn't work for me. I'm all for anyone that worked
- 10:21Speaker 1: for but I feel like marriage at times becomes very
- 10:24Speaker 1: much like business thing and what I found with marriage
- 10:28Speaker 1: is easy to get into and harder to get out of.
- 10:31Speaker 1: When you're dealing with lawyers and this and that just
- 10:34Speaker 1: gets really complicated. It's just like I don't I don't
- 10:36Speaker 1: feel like I need that anymore. And y'all both rich too,
- 10:38Speaker 1: though that's the day. I don't make it seem like,
- 10:40Speaker 1: you know, it's complicated to both y'all so rich, like
- 10:42Speaker 1: assects and things divide of it, it's a lot to
- 10:45Speaker 1: ye to break up and make sure things are fair,
- 10:48Speaker 1: and it gets it could get complicated. What is Lalla
- 10:50Speaker 1: looking for. Are you looking for somebody younger, older, not
- 10:53Speaker 1: in the industry, doesn't play basketball in the music industry,
- 10:56Speaker 1: A regular dude, What would Lalla prefer? I think, like
- 11:00Speaker 1: I don't have this checklist of like what I prefer.
- 11:02Speaker 1: I think I'm a really cool, down to earth person.
- 11:05Speaker 1: I just want somebody I could vibe with. It's less
- 11:06Speaker 1: about somebody like what you have, obviously. I want somebody
- 11:10Speaker 1: with ambition and somebody that's doing something with themselves. But
- 11:13Speaker 1: I'm good. I want somebody like I could sid of
- 11:15Speaker 1: have a conversation with, I could vibe out with, have fun, laugh,
- 11:18Speaker 1: be spontaneous, do fun stuff. It's not just for me.
- 11:21Speaker 1: It's not like, oh how much money does he make?
- 11:23Speaker 1: Oh what car he got it? It's like, that's not
- 11:26Speaker 1: it for me. Would you did another athlete? I think
- 11:30Speaker 1: I would stay away from the NBA. You are, You
- 11:44Speaker 1: are in a space where you can make a decision
- 11:47Speaker 1: on what you want to do in your own time
- 11:49Speaker 1: based on whatever, because it's not like you have to.
- 11:52Speaker 1: You know, we were just talking about this the other
- 11:53Speaker 1: day with Jamil Hill, and these are conversations that we have.
- 11:56Speaker 1: But you have your son, you know, you're good with
- 11:58Speaker 1: that and then and financially you're good. So it's not
- 12:02Speaker 1: like you're looking for somebody that has to check off, yes,
- 12:05Speaker 1: because you are stable already. But of course you want
- 12:07Speaker 1: somebody ambitious. I want somebody ambitious that has something gone
- 12:10Speaker 1: for themselves. But like a lot of females is like, oh,
- 12:13Speaker 1: he got this much money and that's that's all it's
- 12:15Speaker 1: based on, Like what about the personality? What about do
- 12:18Speaker 1: you vibe with him? It's just like, y'all, I want
- 12:20Speaker 1: to introduce someone. So he got so much money, like
- 12:23Speaker 1: that's it, and I'm just like, all right, that's cool.
- 12:25Speaker 1: But yeah, there's money out there, but I want to
- 12:29Speaker 1: be able to vibe with you and talk to It's
- 12:30Speaker 1: a lot of guys with money out there that can't
- 12:32Speaker 1: even hold a conversation. Yeah, right, So what we're gonna
- 12:35Speaker 1: do riding in a nice car and circles like I
- 12:37Speaker 1: got a nice how much for rental? Paranoia? Do you have?
- 12:42Speaker 1: Raising Kayenne um? Because he's on his way. Everybody can
- 12:46Speaker 1: clearly see that. Yeah, as Berkeley said, he was amazing
- 12:48Speaker 1: and he was training him. I saw it when he
- 12:50Speaker 1: said that, which was so so awesome. Yeah with Kayenne,
- 12:52Speaker 1: you know, I keep a close eye, but I want
- 12:55Speaker 1: them to still live life and be a fifteen year old.
- 12:58Speaker 1: It's also, you know, growing up in Brooklyn is different too,
- 13:01Speaker 1: Like I just gotta make sure he's in the right
- 13:04Speaker 1: places where he needs to be because he's fifteen. He
- 13:06Speaker 1: wants to hang out, he wants to go to certain
- 13:08Speaker 1: places and play basketball, and not really understanding sometimes why
- 13:12Speaker 1: he can't just do what everybody can do all the time.
- 13:14Speaker 1: And now it's to the point where everyone's having like
- 13:16Speaker 1: sweet sixteen parties and all this stuff. And they'd be like, oh,
- 13:19Speaker 1: man's a party in Queens and somebody's whatever apartment complex
- 13:24Speaker 1: and this and that, and I'm like, oh, like, you
- 13:26Speaker 1: could go, but I just want to have somebody outside
- 13:28Speaker 1: even if they don't go. And he's like, well, then
- 13:29Speaker 1: I don't want to go because he doesn't want to
- 13:31Speaker 1: feel like he's walking around with eyes on him and
- 13:34Speaker 1: stuff like that. He's so low key. So that's what
- 13:38Speaker 1: it is. So he found out what the funny thing is.
- 13:41Speaker 1: So he went to a party sweet sixteen, and I
- 13:44Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna have somebody in there, but I'm
- 13:46Speaker 1: not gonna tell him. So the person was in there
- 13:48Speaker 1: low and I'm not spying on him. I just if
- 13:50Speaker 1: anything goes down. A lot of these parties getting shot up,
- 13:52Speaker 1: a lot of stuff is happening, so I'm like, I
- 13:54Speaker 1: just just in case. So then he's getting ready to
- 13:56Speaker 1: leave and he was getting in the car. He's like, man,
- 13:58Speaker 1: some guy approached me and was like had my address
- 14:02Speaker 1: on the phone and was like putting me in the
- 14:04Speaker 1: car and stuff. He was like, did you have like
- 14:06Speaker 1: security there or something. I'm like, the guy blew my
- 14:08Speaker 1: cover because he just wanted to make sure he got
- 14:10Speaker 1: in the car and everything like that. But you found
- 14:13Speaker 1: this guy in the car and some random guy. No, no, no, no.
- 14:15Speaker 1: The guy was like the guy told him I guess
- 14:17Speaker 1: after was like, y'all work with your mom. I just
- 14:19Speaker 1: want to make sure you're getting because he was looking
- 14:20Speaker 1: like I still like. He was like I work with
- 14:23Speaker 1: your mom. No, but he called me before. You're like, man,
- 14:25Speaker 1: this guy showing me like the car destination. But so
- 14:28Speaker 1: he blew it up. My point is, but he was
- 14:30Speaker 1: just like, mom, why are you didn't tell me? So
- 14:32Speaker 1: then I was like, well he wasn't inside, and he
- 14:34Speaker 1: was like I think he was inside. He just doesn't
- 14:36Speaker 1: like the extra attention. My son is so down to
- 14:39Speaker 1: earth and humble and chill. He doesn't like all of that,
- 14:41Speaker 1: but he has to understand at certain times. Just gotta
- 14:44Speaker 1: be careful. It's a different world out here, right because
- 14:50Speaker 1: he has Everyone asked me that like he has it,
- 14:52Speaker 1: he has it. I was talking to some kids, yes
- 14:54Speaker 1: say it's like, has he been having girls over stuff?
- 14:57Speaker 1: He's just very low key quiet. I'm not saying he's
- 14:59Speaker 1: not into girls. Yeah, he probably is and just not
- 15:02Speaker 1: telling me. But there's been no females at the house.
- 15:04Speaker 1: He hasn't asked me to like go on a date
- 15:06Speaker 1: yet or anything like when that happens though, when he goes,
- 15:09Speaker 1: I want to go to the movie, so man can soon,
- 15:11Speaker 1: so come over watching watch the Show'm be cool. I'm
- 15:14Speaker 1: a cool mom. Like I'm gonna be cool to y'all.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Not gonna be in the room with the door close.
- 15:17Speaker 1: That was a whole other discussion I had with somebody yesterday,
- 15:20Speaker 1: Like I don't think at fifteen you need to be
- 15:22Speaker 1: in your bedroom with the door clothes, Like what are
- 15:25Speaker 1: y'all doing with the door close in living room? But
- 15:27Speaker 1: other people was like why, it's not a big deal.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I'm like with the door closed, like we're not doing
- 15:31Speaker 1: that living room. I'll make the popcorn, I'll bring you
- 15:35Speaker 1: guys and drinks and y'all be good. And it's I
- 15:37Speaker 1: guess it's hard, Like how do we teach our kids
- 15:39Speaker 1: screet smarts without them being in the streets? Like we
- 15:42Speaker 1: all came up in a different environment. And the truth is,
- 15:45Speaker 1: like my son is in that environment. He goes to
- 15:48Speaker 1: school in Queens. We live in Brooklyn. He's not sheltered.
- 15:51Speaker 1: He walks around, he goes to the corner store. So
- 15:54Speaker 1: it's not like he lives a life where he's behind everything.
- 15:57Speaker 1: He's out there and he'll go to different problem Jackson's
- 16:00Speaker 1: friends living there, you want to play basketball, in different
- 16:03Speaker 1: projects or whatever. And it's like I gotta let him live.
- 16:05Speaker 1: And I love that he's well rounded and guess what
- 16:08Speaker 1: it's like to grow up all different kind of ways.
- 16:11Speaker 1: But I also have to make sure that he's careful
- 16:13Speaker 1: and understands that he's a target. And he doesn't understand
- 16:17Speaker 1: that yet. Does he take the train? He doesn't take
- 16:20Speaker 1: the train, but he doesn't take the train, but they
- 16:22Speaker 1: want to jump in. Yeah, my mom works for transit.
- 16:29Speaker 1: I've been taking the train my whole but now you
- 16:31Speaker 1: take the train. I was just saying that with that
- 16:33Speaker 1: fender jagging on, I was just saying. I was just
- 16:37Speaker 1: saying the other day that when I started my new
- 16:40Speaker 1: show was at ten am, and the trap is gonna
- 16:42Speaker 1: be so bad or take the town that I really
- 16:44Speaker 1: might have to take the train. Wow, if I if
- 16:47Speaker 1: I have a choice between two hours driving or thirty
- 16:50Speaker 1: minutes on the train, Yeah, I get it. I'm gonna
- 16:52Speaker 1: take train. I feel you on that, but you what,
- 16:54Speaker 1: hoodie up? Just all people be talking to me when
- 16:58Speaker 1: guy sat next to me the whole I was trying
- 16:59Speaker 1: to read a book and just say, I think it's
- 17:02Speaker 1: just a faster way. To know, it is a faster way.
- 17:04Speaker 1: I don't I don't feel comfortable with the train. But
- 17:06Speaker 1: you know they want to jump in ubers or now
- 17:08Speaker 1: you got friends that drive and I'm just like, oh
- 17:11Speaker 1: my friend drives. Its just it could get tricky. Just
- 17:13Speaker 1: tell him that he has to start moving like an
- 17:15Speaker 1: NBA player. That right, right, that's get used to it.
- 17:18Speaker 1: The security and everything else. Yeah, because literally when I
- 17:20Speaker 1: talk him about security or like so he's like I
- 17:22Speaker 1: don't want to go. Then like he doesn't want some
- 17:24Speaker 1: kids love that. Also, like the way he dresses. Like
- 17:26Speaker 1: I could buy him stuff, he still want to just
- 17:28Speaker 1: wear Nike Tech sweat. So he doesn't want anything. He
- 17:31Speaker 1: doesn't want anything that's gonna make him stand out from
- 17:34Speaker 1: everybody else. That's just how my son is. I said,
- 17:36Speaker 1: my kids rolling aloud with security. If they want to
- 17:38Speaker 1: go to every SEC I don't care if they like it.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I love it. So if they had a problem with it,
- 17:42Speaker 1: they do. But I make security playoff more. I sent
- 17:45Speaker 1: an uncle with him or somebody like that. Right, it's
- 17:47Speaker 1: for my Yeah, like you went there in backstage vip
- 17:50Speaker 1: passes right right, so a security that Yeah, let's talk
- 17:55Speaker 1: about rikers atland because we saw that you've been doing
- 17:57Speaker 1: it and stay yesterday. As a matter of fact, people
- 18:00Speaker 1: doing that on the lower field, Like you know, the
- 18:03Speaker 1: thing is like I just feel I've been saying it
- 18:05Speaker 1: like it's a double edged sword when you do stuff
- 18:07Speaker 1: because on one hand, when you talk about it, it's like, oh,
- 18:10Speaker 1: you're just doing it to talk about it. But it's
- 18:12Speaker 1: like if you don't talk about it, then how do
- 18:14Speaker 1: you get resources or more funding or sponsorships whatever. Then
- 18:18Speaker 1: when you do talk about it, you're bragging, and then
- 18:19Speaker 1: if you don't talk about it, yes, low and it's
- 18:21Speaker 1: great and you're doing it from your heart, but then
- 18:23Speaker 1: when you need to pull some necessary strings, nobody knows
- 18:26Speaker 1: what you're doing. So it came out on its own.
- 18:28Speaker 1: And then once it came out, I was like, I'm
- 18:30Speaker 1: not ashamed of it. I'm proud of what I'm doing.
- 18:32Speaker 1: And now that people know about it, I've received so
- 18:35Speaker 1: much help from especially just New York the community here,
- 18:39Speaker 1: whether it's restaurants providing food, Emory with pumas for everybody
- 18:43Speaker 1: in there, shout out to Emory. Just so many people
- 18:46Speaker 1: just like, Wow, what do you like calling me? What
- 18:48Speaker 1: do you need? I got you what do you need?
- 18:49Speaker 1: And it's just been been so helpful. So what is that?
- 18:53Speaker 1: Tell us what it is exactly? So the initiative initially
- 18:57Speaker 1: was Fatherless No More, which was started by a pastor,
- 19:00Speaker 1: pastor Tim Johnson, who you guys should definitely have come
- 19:02Speaker 1: up here one day. He's an incredible and he was
- 19:04Speaker 1: a pastor out of Orlando. He literally said, one day
- 19:07Speaker 1: God spoke to him and said you need to go
- 19:09Speaker 1: to Rikers And he didn't even know anything about Rikers.
- 19:12Speaker 1: He lives in Orlando. He got into RV and drove
- 19:15Speaker 1: to New York, pulled up to Rikers basically came in,
- 19:19Speaker 1: like I guess, the visiting room and was like, God
- 19:22Speaker 1: called me here. Everyone's probably looking at him, like what
- 19:23Speaker 1: are you talking about. He got with the right people.
- 19:25Speaker 1: They were like, all right, we'll let you do. At
- 19:27Speaker 1: this point, Rikers was just chaos, a total chaos. They're like,
- 19:31Speaker 1: we'll let you do whatever. He parked his RV inside
- 19:35Speaker 1: Rikers Island, which has never been done before, and literally
- 19:37Speaker 1: was just going in every day with this initiative and
- 19:40Speaker 1: talking to a group of young men who are fatherless
- 19:43Speaker 1: and finding their father in God and in Jesus Christ.
- 19:47Speaker 1: So that's how it started. So I came in and
- 19:49Speaker 1: watched what he was doing, and I was like, this
- 19:51Speaker 1: is incredible. And then I kind of just pivoted. I
- 19:54Speaker 1: worked with him a lot, still work with him, and
- 19:56Speaker 1: then I kind of pivoted into kind of creating my
- 20:00Speaker 1: my own initiative out of his, which is just about
- 20:03Speaker 1: like life skills and re entry and tools you need
- 20:06Speaker 1: just in life. You'll you'll be surprised how many of
- 20:09Speaker 1: these young men that I'm working with, you know, don't
- 20:12Speaker 1: have parents. Definitely don't have fathers, never been told I love.
- 20:15Speaker 1: You don't even know how to talk to certain people
- 20:18Speaker 1: or feel that love. And just teaching them like, you
- 20:20Speaker 1: guys are worthy to be loved and you guys are
- 20:23Speaker 1: great people, and just loving on them and giving them
- 20:25Speaker 1: life skills and it's been it's been a life changing
- 20:28Speaker 1: experience for me. We saw a Little Baby pop up yeah,
- 20:30Speaker 1: which I thought was incredible, Like Little Baby hit me
- 20:33Speaker 1: his album came out. He's like, lie, you know, I know,
- 20:35Speaker 1: I know what you're doing. I was like, would you
- 20:36Speaker 1: come up? He was like of course. I'm like He's like,
- 20:38Speaker 1: I want to come to day my album drops and
- 20:40Speaker 1: I'm like, you could be anywhere in the world and
- 20:42Speaker 1: you want to be here. And he was incarcerated before
- 20:45Speaker 1: and really spoke about his experience, and the young men
- 20:47Speaker 1: were so you know, excited to see him there. It was.
- 20:50Speaker 1: It was incredible, and I do want to say something
- 20:52Speaker 1: else because you know, a couple of people are asking me.
- 20:54Speaker 1: They were like, you know, the young women need help
- 20:56Speaker 1: as well there, and I was like, not the issue.
- 20:59Speaker 1: I'm gonna my way there. I was introduced to the
- 21:01Speaker 1: initiative through the young Men the eighteen to twenty one
- 21:04Speaker 1: population at the R and DC building, So that's how
- 21:07Speaker 1: I was introduced to initiatives. So I started there and
- 21:10Speaker 1: it's been great because when I look at eighteen nineteen
- 21:13Speaker 1: year olds, I see Cayenne, I see my son. So
- 21:15Speaker 1: I know how to talk to them. I know how
- 21:16Speaker 1: to kind of be like a mom they never had
- 21:19Speaker 1: or a sister they never had. And I'm working my
- 21:22Speaker 1: way to the female facility as well. But that's the
- 21:25Speaker 1: only reason why I haven't done it there yet. It's
- 21:27Speaker 1: just I started there, Like you guys, gotta give me time,
- 21:29Speaker 1: like I'm going to get that going, and then of
- 21:30Speaker 1: course I want to talk to the young women who
- 21:33Speaker 1: I know need just as much support you know as well.
- 21:36Speaker 1: So I'm trying to make my way, but it takes
- 21:39Speaker 1: up a lot of time. Yeah, that's gonna make so
- 21:40Speaker 1: much sense, especially with this Stio brown dot com like
- 21:43Speaker 1: course of course, and just thinking of everyone we can
- 21:45Speaker 1: bring up there to talk to the female population as well.
- 21:48Speaker 1: But it's life changing, Like they tell me all the
- 21:50Speaker 1: time how I've changed their lives. But I'm like, you
- 21:53Speaker 1: guys have changed my life, like to find like real purpose,
- 21:56Speaker 1: like I've always given back, but like to find real
- 21:58Speaker 1: purpose is like a front different kind because I can
- 22:02Speaker 1: imagine feeling that they feel forgotten and not cared about.
- 22:05Speaker 1: And at Rikers Island, yeah, one hundred percent. And it's
- 22:08Speaker 1: just like you just hear so many negative every day
- 22:11Speaker 1: there's a story about Rikers. Negative, negative, you never hear
- 22:13Speaker 1: anything positive. I thought when I walked in there, we
- 22:15Speaker 1: was just gonna be like people running through the always
- 22:18Speaker 1: just slicing each other up. And I'm not saying things
- 22:20Speaker 1: like this don't happen there. Obviously we read about them.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I'm there, so I know about stuff that happens. But
- 22:26Speaker 1: there's so much positivity coming out of Rikers as well
- 22:29Speaker 1: that you just never hear about. So many programs, initiatives
- 22:32Speaker 1: and kids. Really I deal with the younger properties. So
- 22:35Speaker 1: when I say kids, I mean eighteen to twenty one
- 22:37Speaker 1: who really have changed their lives and like really re
- 22:40Speaker 1: entered into society and became great. I found jobs for
- 22:42Speaker 1: some of the kids in the program, you know, just
- 22:45Speaker 1: help them re enter into society and do great things.
- 22:48Speaker 1: Like it's been some amazing work going on, and we're
- 22:51Speaker 1: about to get out of jail and try to get
- 22:52Speaker 1: a job either. Because when you have to fill out
- 22:54Speaker 1: that form. It's horrible, and they ask and that's why
- 22:57Speaker 1: I step in, because then it's like about who you know.
- 22:59Speaker 1: And I got a lot of people that owe me
- 23:01Speaker 1: a lot of favors that I've never catched in on.
- 23:04Speaker 1: So I'm like, I got a kid who works really hard.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Put them in the back of your restaurant. Can he
- 23:07Speaker 1: work at your sneaker store? Can he do this? Can
- 23:09Speaker 1: he intern? And I have one of the kids who's
- 23:11Speaker 1: my intern, So I can't talk about it and then
- 23:14Speaker 1: not do it, you know, in my own business. So
- 23:16Speaker 1: we're always trying to find opportunities for them. And also
- 23:19Speaker 1: I go even further, like I go to the court
- 23:21Speaker 1: with them. I talk to the judges on their behalf
- 23:23Speaker 1: to speak about what they've done in the initiative and
- 23:25Speaker 1: how they've changed, and just really trying to make a difference. No,
- 23:28Speaker 1: I've never been locked up before. I've got an advice before,
- 23:36Speaker 1: but I never got locked I never got locked up before,
- 23:39Speaker 1: thank God. But yeah, I've been in some ship before.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Are you gonna document some of this so that people
- 23:43Speaker 1: can actually see it? I think eventually, I think it
- 23:46Speaker 1: would be cool to document what's going on. I know
- 23:48Speaker 1: Pastor Tim is working on a book and a documentary
- 23:50Speaker 1: as well. From my part of it, I think I
- 23:52Speaker 1: think it would be good, but I just want to
- 23:54Speaker 1: make sure they're comfortable with that right now. You know,
- 23:57Speaker 1: with this group of young men, you gotta build trust
- 23:59Speaker 1: for it, like they could read through it. They tell
- 24:01Speaker 1: me all the time. When you first started coming, he
- 24:03Speaker 1: was like, oh, celebrity, you want to take a picture. Like,
- 24:05Speaker 1: they keep it real with you. They're gonna tell you
- 24:06Speaker 1: the truth. They're like, but you come so much. I
- 24:09Speaker 1: go every week, like twice a week on average. Sometimes
- 24:12Speaker 1: I'm doing twenty hours a week at Rikers, no phone.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I'm in there without my phone, just with them. They're like,
- 24:17Speaker 1: you've proven to us time and time again that this
- 24:20Speaker 1: is real for you, Like this is not just a
- 24:22Speaker 1: photo op or this, And I mean, I love them.
- 24:24Speaker 1: And one of the kids yesterday he told me. I
- 24:27Speaker 1: was so touched. He was like, la, la. He was like,
- 24:28Speaker 1: I'm gonna be real with you, he said, outside of
- 24:30Speaker 1: my mom, you are the greatest person I ever met
- 24:33Speaker 1: in my life. And I was just like, I get
- 24:35Speaker 1: emotional saying it now, because it's like that comes with
- 24:39Speaker 1: time and trust and love and people really believing in you,
- 24:42Speaker 1: and people feeling like I didn't believe in myself. I
- 24:44Speaker 1: just thought my life was over till I met you
- 24:47Speaker 1: or I met pastor Tim, and y'all just made me
- 24:49Speaker 1: feel like I'm madder again. Like that stuff is deep. Well,
- 24:52Speaker 1: feel that way about you. That's why you and everybody's
- 24:54Speaker 1: wedn't all the time, except my own because I'm never
- 24:59Speaker 1: getting married, but especially so young too, because it could
- 25:03Speaker 1: be just a stupid decision. Yeah, a lot of it
- 25:05Speaker 1: is just wrong plays, wrong time friends. A lot of
- 25:08Speaker 1: it is gang stuff, you know, being influenced by somebody exactly,
- 25:13Speaker 1: it's a wrongful conviction. It's a lot of that. Like
- 25:16Speaker 1: it's not just you know, I mean some of that
- 25:19Speaker 1: in there too, like murders whatever. But a lot of
- 25:21Speaker 1: it is just that and just understanding, like be a
- 25:24Speaker 1: leader not a follower, and look what it where it's
- 25:26Speaker 1: gotten you, and just just loving on them some people.
- 25:28Speaker 1: You'd be surrising if people in this world never even
- 25:30Speaker 1: heard somebody tell them I love you, like they never
- 25:32Speaker 1: heard those words and things that we could take for granted,
- 25:36Speaker 1: makes it difference. You ever feel like people don't get
- 25:38Speaker 1: the whole totality of lah lah because you don't show
- 25:41Speaker 1: that stuff. You perposely don't show that type of stuff.
- 25:44Speaker 1: Are really the other things you're doing business, all the
- 25:46Speaker 1: things you might do for people. Yeah, sometimes I feel
- 25:49Speaker 1: like that, but then it's like that's never been my
- 25:51Speaker 1: motivation behind doing it. Is like same thing with any acting.
- 25:54Speaker 1: My motivation is not to get awards and things like that,
- 25:57Speaker 1: but when you do it. When you do we not
- 25:58Speaker 1: got nominated, but it's like, oh, it's a great that's
- 26:01Speaker 1: a great feeling and you feel like wow, people are
- 26:03Speaker 1: recognizing it. But that's not what you do it for.
- 26:05Speaker 1: So I'm in there because, as I said to you
- 26:08Speaker 1: guys before, it's changing my life. It's giving me a purpose.
- 26:12Speaker 1: So whether people recognize it or give me accolades, I
- 26:15Speaker 1: don't care about that. It's changing my life. It's changing
- 26:18Speaker 1: who I am. I said, you know, after my divorce
- 26:21Speaker 1: and everything, I was going through a period where you
- 26:23Speaker 1: feel kind of lost, like okay, what's life now? Like
- 26:26Speaker 1: I went from this to now this, I'm on my own,
- 26:28Speaker 1: Like this is a different space for me. So to
- 26:31Speaker 1: find purpose in something else. It's changing my life. So
- 26:34Speaker 1: that's what matters. Do you still have to audition for roles. Yes,
- 26:37Speaker 1: I do, not all of them, not all of them.
- 26:39Speaker 1: I get a lot of offers, but when you get
- 26:41Speaker 1: to those roles that you really want to fight for it,
- 26:44Speaker 1: then yeah, you got an audition. You're in a Kenya
- 26:46Speaker 1: Barrass movie coming up to right. Yes, it's a comedy.
- 26:49Speaker 1: So it's a comedy. It's myself, Eddie Murphy, Nia Long,
- 26:52Speaker 1: Lauren London's Jonah Hill is an incredible cast. I mean
- 26:56Speaker 1: that was amazing. She's in there, She's in there. No,
- 27:01Speaker 1: she's no, no, no, no, no, she's in a movie
- 27:03Speaker 1: I did with h Wait wait, I just didn't movie
- 27:06Speaker 1: with Gabrielle. No, she's in that one. She's in that one. Yeah,
- 27:08Speaker 1: because I did those two movies at the same time.
- 27:10Speaker 1: So yeah, she always says that's how her and I
- 27:12Speaker 1: got so close. It's so funny because people will see
- 27:14Speaker 1: us and be like, how are y'all like this? But
- 27:16Speaker 1: when you're on the set of a movie, you become
- 27:18Speaker 1: closer to people you work with. So she was in
- 27:20Speaker 1: my hotel room every day. I would be coaching her
- 27:22Speaker 1: on the lines and doing everything. So her and I
- 27:24Speaker 1: we were very close because of that. But yeah, that
- 27:27Speaker 1: movie is gonna be gonna be incredible. And Eddie Murphy.
- 27:30Speaker 1: I mean, I had a moment where I was like, yo,
- 27:33Speaker 1: I'm in a movie with Eddie Murphy. Like when you
- 27:35Speaker 1: look up and it's Eddie Murphy standing right there, like
- 27:38Speaker 1: that's never gonna get old. I'm like, yo, that's Eddie
- 27:41Speaker 1: Murphy right there, and he's like, hey, you doing I'm like, nah,
- 27:44Speaker 1: this is crazy. Eddie Murphy knows who I like, this
- 27:46Speaker 1: is wow. But it's gonna be incredible. So that's coming
- 27:49Speaker 1: out probably around January February. And then Gabrielle Union and
- 27:53Speaker 1: I that was other movie I was talking about. We
- 27:54Speaker 1: got a Netflix movie called The Perfect Fine with Keith
- 27:57Speaker 1: Powers where Gabrielle Union's character was in love with Keith Power.
- 28:01Speaker 1: So an older woman with a younger man and just
- 28:03Speaker 1: everything that happens from that. Yeah. One of my good
- 28:05Speaker 1: homies in that movie with Jonah Hill Andrew Oh yeah, yeah,
- 28:11Speaker 1: and he thoroughly enjoys seeing you and young Miami. I
- 28:18Speaker 1: never seen his exactly what I've never seen any I've
- 28:20Speaker 1: never seen no shit like that. We had a good time. Yeah,
- 28:26Speaker 1: we had a good time. And there was a scene
- 28:27Speaker 1: where we had to like dancing. It was, yeah, probably
- 28:32Speaker 1: what he was. He had a lot of white man
- 28:37Speaker 1: questions to him his black friend about black women, and
- 28:42Speaker 1: you know what the question was just like you know,
- 28:45Speaker 1: like he was very intrigued. I remember one time speaking
- 28:48Speaker 1: of like sexies. I'm not gonna say who, but I
- 28:50Speaker 1: remember one time I was doing a sexy was so like, well,
- 28:54Speaker 1: you guys could figure it out. It was a white
- 28:55Speaker 1: guy and he was just like, we know it is.
- 28:57Speaker 1: It was just like, yeah, I know, seeing nobody like this. Yeah,
- 29:08Speaker 1: just like he said it the fires gravity he was
- 29:14Speaker 1: just sitting there. He was just there like that's what
- 29:21Speaker 1: he said. How is how Shock doing? By the way,
- 29:25Speaker 1: so I talked to Shock yesterday doing well, definitely, you know,
- 29:28Speaker 1: still in physical therapy getting himself together. That was a
- 29:31Speaker 1: real scary experience and just you know, fighting and and
- 29:35Speaker 1: ready for the journey ahead and hoping that everything you know,
- 29:37Speaker 1: turns out the way it's supposed to. But he got
- 29:40Speaker 1: so many supporters and people behind him who know what
- 29:43Speaker 1: it is, and we're just gonna fight and make sure
- 29:46Speaker 1: that everything turns out the way it's supposed to. Absolute,
- 29:49Speaker 1: how do situations like that make you look at life?
- 29:53Speaker 1: Come up? With and you're like, WHOA, it makes me
- 29:55Speaker 1: never take life for granted, understand what really matters in life.
- 30:00Speaker 1: So like when we go back to giving back and
- 30:02Speaker 1: doing things like that, what really matters? Like it just
- 30:04Speaker 1: puts everything into perspective because you know, we almost lost
- 30:08Speaker 1: shocking now that that's who started my career. That's my family.
- 30:12Speaker 1: That's who I've known since I was fifteen years old,
- 30:14Speaker 1: and I laid in a hospital with him every single day.
- 30:17Speaker 1: You know, I was the first one at the hospital
- 30:18Speaker 1: when it happened. So it's like you just life flashes
- 30:22Speaker 1: right before your eyes and you're like this can be
- 30:25Speaker 1: taken away from us like that, and it's just something
- 30:28Speaker 1: you never want to take for granted. No, So you know,

- 31:19Speaker 1: her to Vegas on Saturday for the Usher concert. But
- 31:22Speaker 1: she didn't know I was coming. So I was like,
- 31:23Speaker 1: I'm coming from New York. What's the point of me
- 31:25Speaker 1: flying all the way to LA then? So I'll just
- 31:27Speaker 1: meet you guys in Vegas. So they're like, oh, you
- 31:29Speaker 1: don't want to fly on a private plane. No, I don't.
- 31:30Speaker 1: I just want to fly straight to Vegas. So I

- 31:42Speaker 1: getting ready to start the night, excited for the Usher concerts.
- 31:45Speaker 1: So then they call me. They're like, they're not letting
- 31:47Speaker 1: the plane land because of wind, Like the wind was
- 31:49Speaker 1: bad in Vegas that night and the plane can't land.
- 31:52Speaker 1: The plane tried three different times to land and when
- 31:54Speaker 1: it land, so they're turning back around. I'm like, you
