- 3:58Speaker 1: tweet like you know what, now he ain't stupid, or
- 4:01Speaker 1: maybe you didn't, or maybe maybe you didn't know you
- 4:04Speaker 1: felt the way that you felt, because a lot of
- 4:06Speaker 1: times y'all go deeper in your music than you actually

- 5:36Speaker 1: be on that. Um, you know what? Excuse me? Um?
- 5:39Speaker 1: The Furious seven was. That was just such a blessing,
- 5:42Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Being a singer songwriter, I
- 5:43Speaker 1: get approach a lot of times about writing songs for projects,
- 5:46Speaker 1: and it just worked out that I was able to
- 5:48Speaker 1: write the record. I wrote it with my friend Jado,
- 5:50Speaker 1: and I was featured on it. I performed on Revolte.
- 5:53Speaker 1: We did the um premiere and I performed it on
- 5:55Speaker 1: Revolte and it was just bomb. I just had such
- 5:57Speaker 1: a great, great time with that. What's that money? Like, Um,
- 6:01Speaker 1: it's nice they pay you once for the song? Like, well,
- 6:05Speaker 1: you get your publishing, you know what I mean? Like,
- 6:07Speaker 1: so you have a certain percentage of that and whatever
- 6:09Speaker 1: the song makes, that's how you get you published pockets
- 6:12Speaker 1: her pockets. But it's good, especially like international. Yeah, the
- 6:15Speaker 1: song is really really big overseas, so that was great.
- 6:18Speaker 1: What happened with those big seven Teddy Bears? That Bob
- 6:21Speaker 1: got you? He got you to all those huge teddy bears.
- 6:23Speaker 1: It was real cute in the house, and I was like,
- 6:25Speaker 1: what are she gonna do with they? They're still cute
- 6:27Speaker 1: with the cute and storage stories. They cute and start
- 6:30Speaker 1: not Actually I want to donate them. I want to
- 6:31Speaker 1: I want to donate them. Well, they I tried. They
- 6:34Speaker 1: don't you know, for sanitariasons, they don't let you donate
- 6:36Speaker 1: them to hospitals. But you know, I'm trying about you
- 6:38Speaker 1: was grinding on them and you're like, no, I'm gonna
- 6:40Speaker 1: hurt you. You know you can have fun on those.
- 6:43Speaker 1: I'm just saying that. No boy thinking that God Chae,
- 6:52Speaker 1: Oh my god. So what are we getting an album out? Man? Um?
- 6:55Speaker 1: You know what with the album? You'll get the album
- 6:58Speaker 1: soon enough. I'm really my fans know what, my label
- 7:01Speaker 1: knows it. I'm so strategic and I'm a perfectionist and
- 7:05Speaker 1: I just like to take my time with that, and
- 7:06Speaker 1: I have to put music out according to where I
- 7:09Speaker 1: am and how it feels. So it's gonna come. It's
- 7:11Speaker 1: definitely gonna come. I'm still working on it a little bit,
- 7:13Speaker 1: but it's definitely on the way. But isn't it though,
- 7:15Speaker 1: because you know you say you being certain, Uh, I
- 7:17Speaker 1: guess spaces. Yeah, so, but once you're out of that space,
- 7:20Speaker 1: do you I don't like that record no more. Yeah,
- 7:23Speaker 1: that happens, Like that's real life. You don't wake up
- 7:25Speaker 1: in the same way every day. So it's the same
- 7:27Speaker 1: thing with writing records and things like that. Would you
- 7:30Speaker 1: Nbob do a tour together like Nikki and meet? I'm open, absolutely,
- 7:35Speaker 1: I would. I would do a tour because I heard
- 7:36Speaker 1: you don't write your own stuff and heard Bob right,
- 7:40Speaker 1: is that what you heard? You know? I could write
- 7:44Speaker 1: a little verse, you know, I'm like, could write one
- 7:45Speaker 1: of his verses while you play them. But it's differ
- 7:48Speaker 1: for R and B artists. I mean, clearly you write
- 7:50Speaker 1: for other people. That's never an issue, right, we don't
- 7:52Speaker 1: expect you. It is a little it's a little different.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It's definitely different for R and B artists, But um,
- 7:57Speaker 1: you know, yeah, but I definitely I can write some
- 7:59Speaker 1: rappers though, don't get it. Don't so you write Bob stuff.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted. I've said I've joked him about
- 8:04Speaker 1: that before. I'm like, you know, I could write you
- 8:05Speaker 1: a verse if you need that, I need it. Yeah,
- 8:08Speaker 1: I could do that. But you know, I do your
- 8:10Speaker 1: real baby hairs that you put active, now, these are
- 8:14Speaker 1: my real baby hairs. That's it's real life activated. I
- 8:17Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Girls put activated on the
- 8:20Speaker 1: edges to give the illusion to that. How do you
- 8:22Speaker 1: know about that? Because he used to do that back here.
- 8:28Speaker 1: That's why I asked you, like, hmm, make sure to
- 8:30Speaker 1: me your real baby head. Yeah, you see his eyebrows.
- 8:34Speaker 1: I think his eyebrows got activated. It's real. Now. Did
- 8:40Speaker 1: you see a big difference? And I know when you guys,
- 8:42Speaker 1: first everybody was like, oh, it's seven and Bob dating.
- 8:45Speaker 1: At first, it seemed like people was hating on you all,
- 8:47Speaker 1: but then it seemed like people got adjusted and was like, Okay,
- 8:49Speaker 1: stay cute together. I mean, people are always gonna have opinions. Um,
- 8:53Speaker 1: your personal life is your personal life, and I like
- 8:56Speaker 1: to you know, we we just live our lives the
- 8:58Speaker 1: other day. We were in our relationship and then we
- 9:01Speaker 1: do our music. Like for me right now, I'm just
- 9:03Speaker 1: in a music head space. It's all about music. It's
- 9:06Speaker 1: all about you know, my form of R and B. Like,
- 9:09Speaker 1: it's just all about that for me. So that's where
- 9:11Speaker 1: my head is. Are you experimenting with a different sound
- 9:14Speaker 1: on a new album? Um? You know what? That's why
- 9:16Speaker 1: I wanted to put out the should Have Been There
- 9:18Speaker 1: Part one because it kind of gives you a taste
- 9:20Speaker 1: of what my album is gonna feel like, you know
- 9:22Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not too far off. I may
- 9:24Speaker 1: experiment with a few more sounds, but it's definitely not
- 9:27Speaker 1: too far off. But I just I just have to
- 9:29Speaker 1: get music outs. That's very important to me. Isn't it
- 9:31Speaker 1: hard dating another artist because y'all might have little fights
- 9:34Speaker 1: and might end up in a song just because I mean,
- 9:37Speaker 1: if if it happens, it happens, you know what I mean?
- 9:40Speaker 1: That that's real life at the end of the day. Like,
- 9:42Speaker 1: if if we get into a fight, he can write
- 9:44Speaker 1: a record about it, I don't care, because I'm definitely
- 9:46Speaker 1: gonna write one yard Jesus Christ, No, I'm serious. It
- 9:50Speaker 1: might be it should have been there part two. But
- 9:51Speaker 1: if you write about other chicks he smashing and stuff,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and then you like, hold on, you can't put that.
- 9:56Speaker 1: He's like, now it's just a song. Um, see, then
- 9:58Speaker 1: we might have I'm not anymore. So what you said
- 10:04Speaker 1: in that verse really, oh word, okay, we're gonna have nah. Honestly, Um,
- 10:08Speaker 1: artists art man like that, yeah, because you know some
- 10:11Speaker 1: of the things is old and us oh they better
- 10:14Speaker 1: be old. Listen. You know, as a woman who writes,
- 10:18Speaker 1: do you respect artists less when they want help? No,
- 10:22Speaker 1: I don't. I don't respect artists less at all. Because
- 10:25Speaker 1: you know what a lot of people don't realize is
- 10:26Speaker 1: that with you know, artists who do righte Um, sometimes
- 10:31Speaker 1: you get so busy it's impossible for you to write
- 10:34Speaker 1: everything right. You can't write everything like even I'll be
- 10:37Speaker 1: all the way honest, even when people are like, you know,
- 10:39Speaker 1: getting on seeing about Drake, you know, having ghostwriters and
- 10:42Speaker 1: stuff like that. It's really hard sometimes, Like at the
- 10:45Speaker 1: end of the day, when Drake first came out, Drake
- 10:48Speaker 1: didn't have a ghostwriter, and we thought he was amazing.
- 10:50Speaker 1: So if he has one now, it would be okay,
- 10:53Speaker 1: Like I feel like you know what I mean, but
- 10:54Speaker 1: you never really a ghostwriter if you get credited, because
- 10:57Speaker 1: that ghostwriter is like a ghost. Is that you know,
- 11:00Speaker 1: you don't even get a credit on the album. You
- 11:02Speaker 1: get paid, You get paid, no one knows, it's a secret.
- 11:04Speaker 1: But when you get somebody credit, is that really a
- 11:07Speaker 1: ghost right now, when you give somebody credit, they're they're
- 11:10Speaker 1: a co writer, you know what I mean, Like they're
- 11:11Speaker 1: a co writer with you. But in the case where
- 11:13Speaker 1: there is a co writer, I mean a um, you know,
- 11:15Speaker 1: ghostwriter for whatever. Artists I think that I understand it.
- 11:20Speaker 1: People ya don't. It's hard to explain, but people get
- 11:22Speaker 1: really busy. Artists get busy, and you gotta do a
- 11:25Speaker 1: verse for this person, a verse for this person. You
- 11:26Speaker 1: gotta be on this TV show, you gotta be on
- 11:27Speaker 1: this tour, and a lot of times, you know, you
- 11:30Speaker 1: still oversee everything, you know what I mean, Like it
- 11:33Speaker 1: can't sit down and sometimes you honestly sometimes you can't.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Like it's it gets really busy. So I don't have
- 11:39Speaker 1: an issue with that. And people don't make it easier
- 11:41Speaker 1: too though, Like when somebody gives you a I guess
- 11:43Speaker 1: a reference track and they got the Cadence down. Well,
- 11:48Speaker 1: I don't just yeah, exactly add your own, because I
- 11:51Speaker 1: you know, I have writers give me verses and things
- 11:53Speaker 1: all the time, and I literally I go through weed
- 11:56Speaker 1: out what I don't like, putting what I do, like
- 11:58Speaker 1: chains of Cada's taints, the melody, like that whole type
- 12:00Speaker 1: of thing. People ever ask you to write for them,
- 12:02Speaker 1: but don't but want you to just not get your
- 12:05Speaker 1: credit and just give you some money. No, they ain't stupid,
- 12:08Speaker 1: They ain't stupid. No I would, Yeah, I would never
- 12:11Speaker 1: do that. But what about starting out? You know, sometimes
- 12:13Speaker 1: like to get aren't even producers. You work under somebody
- 12:16Speaker 1: and they get kind of the credit for it, but
- 12:18Speaker 1: you get I mean, you know I started out pretty
- 12:20Speaker 1: much under Chris, and Chris never did that to me. You,
- 12:23Speaker 1: I mean, he never did that to me whatever I
- 12:25Speaker 1: was a part of, even if if I only wrote
- 12:27Speaker 1: a couple of lines, he still made sure that I
- 12:29Speaker 1: got my name was in the credits, and I got
- 12:32Speaker 1: the publisher that I deserved. So I've never gone through that.
- 12:34Speaker 1: It was the biggest song you've written. The biggest song
- 12:38Speaker 1: is probably The Way by Ariana Grande, Right, oh yeah, well,
- 12:43Speaker 1: or wait, maybe yet? Three times is either YEA three
- 12:46Speaker 1: times or the way because YEA three Times had like
- 12:48Speaker 1: a lot of licensing, like we got it was it
- 12:51Speaker 1: was yeah, and it was played on like a lot
- 12:53Speaker 1: of you know, TV shows, commercials things like that. Don't
- 12:56Speaker 1: remember it's Chris's Chris's record. Yeah. No, that's like a
- 13:02Speaker 1: double man speriment thing you are, No, No, that's that's
- 13:07Speaker 1: the polo record. Yes, no, it's a pop record. Yeah,
- 13:11Speaker 1: it's right. Is that? Oh? That was good? Are you
- 13:16Speaker 1: still right? Are you still writing for other people now?
- 13:18Speaker 1: Are just only focused on yourself? No, I'm definitely still
- 13:20Speaker 1: writing for other people. I just got back into it,
- 13:22Speaker 1: you know, pretty much because i've been working on you know,
- 13:25Speaker 1: I should have been there part one. I've been working
- 13:27Speaker 1: on my album and things like that. But I actually
- 13:29Speaker 1: I've been having sessions with Diddy that have been absolutely amazing.
- 13:32Speaker 1: When I tell you, I didn't I didn't think that
- 13:35Speaker 1: I could learn so much in a session. My god,
- 13:38Speaker 1: like what like literally like, I, um, I'll throw out
- 13:42Speaker 1: a melody and he was like no, no, no like that.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I need I need to feel it. I gotta feel it.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I need I need to feel like you know that.
- 13:49Speaker 1: That's just like some new wage like cadency type stuff.
- 13:51Speaker 1: And I didn't realize that I wrote that wrote that
- 13:53Speaker 1: way sometimes, which has been a learning lesson for me. Like,
- 13:56Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we get caught up in a gotta
- 13:59Speaker 1: center like that type of you know, like that rap
- 14:02Speaker 1: catus and we do that a lot these days. And
- 14:04Speaker 1: he was just like, I don't want that, like I
- 14:06Speaker 1: needed to feel. I need people to feel you can
- 14:09Speaker 1: you sing to the chords? Like can you put give
- 14:11Speaker 1: me a melody to the chords? And that was a
- 14:14Speaker 1: lesson for me because I didn't realize that I was
- 14:16Speaker 1: writing that way. So those sessions have been absolutely amazing.
- 14:20Speaker 1: I tell him every time I work with him, you're
- 14:21Speaker 1: gonna be in dirty money now. I didn't need me
- 14:25Speaker 1: to do I'm for I always wonder about that, you
- 14:31Speaker 1: know what, But I don't when I when I do
- 14:32Speaker 1: write for men, I make sure to have a male
- 14:34Speaker 1: writer with me, you know what I mean? Because I
- 14:36Speaker 1: as much as we feel like we do understand, a
- 14:39Speaker 1: lot of times we don't know what the hell going

- 14:56Speaker 1: lot is did he paying you? You know? He's notorious
- 14:58Speaker 1: for nothing? Thank you when it when or if the
- 15:01Speaker 1: record gets placed. I'm absolutely you think I'm I am

- 15:29Speaker 1: feel it, I'm gonna have a conversation with you about it.
- 15:31Speaker 1: But I think that's how it should be. I don't
- 15:32Speaker 1: think you should let you know. Fester. He'd probably be like,
- 15:35Speaker 1: oh god, here, I don't care if he fe like that,
- 15:37Speaker 1: that's fine. He'll be all right because at least he knows,
- 15:41Speaker 1: like at least he knows he ain't got to guess
- 15:43Speaker 1: about how his girl feeling at any point of time.

- 15:48Speaker 1: I don't That's the thing he'll tell you. I don't
- 15:50Speaker 1: really be beefing a lot, but when I do have
- 15:53Speaker 1: something that I have an issue with, I'm like, yeah,
- 15:55Speaker 1: it looks as I have to no genre on the
- 15:57Speaker 1: back of it. Hey now, hey, baby left the toilet
- 16:00Speaker 1: seat up again about not dealing with this no more. No,
- 16:03Speaker 1: it's just I just I have to let it be known.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Like you know, a lot of times y'all feel like
- 16:07Speaker 1: you know men. I've heard men say all the time, Oh,
- 16:09Speaker 1: we can't read your minds. We don't know what you're thinking.
- 16:12Speaker 1: So he ain't got to never worry about seven yea. Ever,
- 16:18Speaker 1: the album is out right now to ep ya should
- 16:22Speaker 1: have been their part one a record, right? Would you
- 16:27Speaker 1: charge you? Absolutely? That's it's a business. Nobody you would
- 16:30Speaker 1: do a record for for free, but you got you
- 16:32Speaker 1: do that was if that was a trade off, you
- 16:35Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like if it's like, oh, you
- 16:36Speaker 1: give me a feature, I get you a feature, or
- 16:38Speaker 1: you give me a record, I get your record. That's
- 16:40Speaker 1: that's when things are like, okay, that's kind of negotiable.
- 16:43Speaker 1: But as a writer, no, I think that. Honestly, I'm
- 16:46Speaker 1: all about people being fair in terms of you know,
- 16:50Speaker 1: business publishing, whether it's um like honestly, even to go
- 16:54Speaker 1: all the way into like you know, Tyrese talking about
- 16:57Speaker 1: how you know the state of R and B and
- 16:58Speaker 1: things like that, I think that you should let give
- 17:01Speaker 1: people what they'll do. And I think that that's really
- 17:04Speaker 1: really important, you know what I mean, even in terms
- 17:06Speaker 1: of like this whole just R and B period, Like,
- 17:09Speaker 1: I just think that that's very, very, very important. What
- 17:11Speaker 1: if you got a call from Michael Jackson right on
- 17:13Speaker 1: his new product, That's impossible, that would be impossible. You
- 17:19Speaker 1: get your publishing, you get paid through publishing. What heaven
- 17:24Speaker 1: would you still charge him? Now? I want seven to
- 17:27Speaker 1: clisle any seven to class something up because you cast
- 17:30Speaker 1: some issues last time you were here. Hi, Okay, shut
- 17:34Speaker 1: up now, you're absolutely not. You had said, I think
- 17:39Speaker 1: when you commit to somebody and you take them off
- 17:40Speaker 1: the market, I think it's your job as a woman.
- 17:42Speaker 1: I don't think you should ever say no. People were
- 17:44Speaker 1: upset about that. She said, I'm talking about if you're
- 17:46Speaker 1: tired or somebody's like I'm tired. No, because at the
- 17:49Speaker 1: end of the day, you took that person off the market,
- 17:50Speaker 1: they can't go and be with someone else. So you
- 17:52Speaker 1: don't ever say no, clear that up and let people
- 17:55Speaker 1: know exactly. People were furious. I mean, I still behind
- 18:00Speaker 1: whate like, I don't want I don't know if they
- 18:03Speaker 1: expect me to change that or not. It's not gonna
- 18:06Speaker 1: people were so mad about that. But the thing is,
- 18:09Speaker 1: I don't know, because I definitely I feel like it
- 18:11Speaker 1: goes both ways. It's for men and for women. It
- 18:14Speaker 1: goes both ways. So I still stand behind that. I
- 18:18Speaker 1: ain't Obama. No, But if he has crads, would you
- 18:20Speaker 1: tell him no? He say, oh my god, I'm not
- 18:29Speaker 1: even getting You're still gonna do it? What? No, that's
- 18:33Speaker 1: crazy right that she takes it back. She doesn't stand
- 18:36Speaker 1: by its involved. She takes it back. But man, listen. Okay,
- 18:40Speaker 1: So back to the music. Back to the music. I
- 18:43Speaker 1: fire the new album coming along. Now the EPs out
- 18:46Speaker 1: she didn't be in their part one. Make sure you
- 18:48Speaker 1: get that. I love it. Yes, So with the actual album. Now,
- 18:51Speaker 1: what's the timeline. The timeline is according to my soul clock. No,
- 18:56Speaker 1: it's according to how I feel. And I really do
- 18:58Speaker 1: mean that. Like I said all the time, I don't
- 19:01Speaker 1: apologize for taking my time with my first album. I don't.
- 19:05Speaker 1: I think that it's a it's it's not. I don't
- 19:08Speaker 1: take it lightly that I have a record deal, right,
- 19:10Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Because I've had three before,
- 19:12Speaker 1: two before this in girl groups. So I don't take
- 19:14Speaker 1: it lightly that I have a deal. I don't take
- 19:16Speaker 1: my first album. I take my first album very seriously.
- 19:19Speaker 1: So it's gonna come out when I feel like it's right.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Don't mean I'm gonna have you waiting years. That's not
- 19:24Speaker 1: gonna happen. But it has to feel right, and it
- 19:26Speaker 1: has to be right. So when the meantime should have
- 19:28Speaker 1: been there, part one, it's here, you know. I just
- 19:31Speaker 1: you have to. I don't feel like she don't have
- 19:33Speaker 1: an album now yet, though it feels like a lot
- 19:35Speaker 1: of a lot of fans say that, and a lot
- 19:37Speaker 1: of people say that, but and I'm glad they do,
- 19:39Speaker 1: because I don't never want to leave my fans without music,
- 19:42Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's important. I don't want
- 19:44Speaker 1: to leave them without music. So I I you know,
- 19:46Speaker 1: I make sure I put as much as much music
- 19:48Speaker 1: out there as I can. Just don't get pregnant first.
- 19:51Speaker 1: What that's not happening. I can see Bill b shooting
- 19:53Speaker 1: that club up. I hate you, Oh my god, she's
