- 0:53Speaker 4: this right right now? Why have you been correcting people?
- 0:55Speaker 2: You know what? I feel like I have here and there,
- 0:57Speaker 2: But then like it just blows under, like nobody cares.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Everybody just says how they want to say. It's not
- 1:01Speaker 2: that big of a deal. I have family members who say,
- 1:04Speaker 2: Kilane got you? But do you know, I'm like I'm
- 1:06Speaker 2: thirty now I'm feeling a little like let's just get
- 1:09Speaker 2: you know, it's been ten years, say my name wrong
- 1:11Speaker 2: for ten years.
- 1:13Speaker 5: You know we all like to create safe spaces for ourselves. Yeah,
- 1:16Speaker 5: I don't think you can create a safe space of
- 1:18Speaker 5: people calling you out your wrong name, because I think
- 1:20Speaker 5: if I was doing an interview and somebody say Kilana,
- 1:21Speaker 5: and the whole interview pight be thinking I should have
- 1:23Speaker 5: corrected them.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I should have corrected it.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I should have corrected But no one wants to be
- 1:26Speaker 2: that person as like sour as the moment. It's like,
- 1:29Speaker 2: by the way, scratch that should you know? Well here
- 1:32Speaker 2: we are now now you guys know yes, Kaylin.
- 1:35Speaker 3: How does it feel fold the number one? How is
- 1:37Speaker 3: that feeling?
- 1:38Speaker 2: It feels really good. It's been a long time coming.
- 1:41Speaker 2: I've been getting told for the last eight years of
- 1:44Speaker 2: my life. You know, you're always one song away or
- 1:46Speaker 2: one song away or one song away. We see it
- 1:48Speaker 2: for you, and so to have the song and everything
- 1:51Speaker 2: be changing in this way, it's really nice.
- 1:52Speaker 3: You know that was the record. When y'all did it,
- 1:54Speaker 3: did you know that was going to be it?
- 1:55Speaker 2: No, it was the most accidental thing in the world.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Even making it was accidental, came about accident. I'm in
- 2:01Speaker 2: La I get a call to come finish this feature.
- 2:04Speaker 2: But the guys like, I'm out to go on this
- 2:05Speaker 2: massive tour, like, so you have to come finish it
- 2:08Speaker 2: with me in person. Bring the producers, Come to Miami,
- 2:12Speaker 2: Bring the producers. We go to Miami and for two
- 2:14Speaker 2: days we just can't figure out this song that we're
- 2:17Speaker 2: supposed to finish, and we didn't want we didn't want
- 2:19Speaker 2: to waste the time. So we went to a studio
- 2:21Speaker 2: house with Don Mills, who actually plays a guitar on
- 2:24Speaker 2: the song, and Dre Harris came and the first beat
- 2:27Speaker 2: he played was the folded beat from his boy DK
- 2:30Speaker 2: the Punisher, and I bring it in the other room
- 2:32Speaker 2: and I just keep singing this hook and everybody's like,
- 2:34Speaker 2: that's really cool, Like let's build on it. And we
- 2:36Speaker 2: stayed there for a week. But every single day after,
- 2:39Speaker 2: you know, we made that song, it'd be the one
- 2:41Speaker 2: song from the like the camp that we just kept replaying.
- 2:45Speaker 2: And I hit my label and I was like, I
- 2:46Speaker 2: don't know, like, I know you guys are looking for
- 2:48Speaker 2: what is it. It's like as a junior July at
- 2:50Speaker 2: this time, I'm not sure. I know you guys are
- 2:52Speaker 2: looking for like the club single the Banger. This is
- 2:56Speaker 2: not that, Like, this isn't really song of the Summer.
- 2:59Speaker 2: I don't, but this feels like an introduction to like
- 3:00Speaker 2: where my mentally musically, my you know, maturation in my
- 3:06Speaker 2: like my sonic journey. And let me just tease it, like,
- 3:09Speaker 2: let me put it out. You guys don't have to,
- 3:11Speaker 2: you know, don't freak out. But it feels good and
- 3:13Speaker 2: it just kind of like took its own life and
- 3:15Speaker 2: there we are.
- 3:15Speaker 5: Takes a lot of emotional intelligence to fold the man's
- 3:18Speaker 5: clothes and tell him come get him instead of just
- 3:21Speaker 5: throwing them all over the lawn.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I'm definitely not folding a man's clothes.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Oh well, anyone's close. Yeah, But I think it's a
- 3:29Speaker 2: very nuanced perspective, and I'm watching a lot of people
- 3:32Speaker 2: be on this, you know, really extreme side of it,
- 3:34Speaker 2: either like Carolin is way better than me, You're clothes
- 3:37Speaker 2: of being a trash can, or I'm not taking time
- 3:41Speaker 2: for that, right, or they're like, yeah, I'm folding instantly,
- 3:44Speaker 2: I'm folding clothes. And asked who cares if they did
- 3:46Speaker 2: wrong in the song, I verbatim say, like I probably
- 3:49Speaker 2: should have asked for space, but I kind of told
- 3:51Speaker 2: you to walk away, which means I probably jumped the
- 3:53Speaker 2: gun and I overreacted, and I need to express to
- 3:56Speaker 2: you that you did hurt me, but also maybe come
- 3:58Speaker 2: over so we can talk about it.
- 3:59Speaker 6: So it's more of like a.
- 4:00Speaker 2: Nuanced, mature conversation existing that's kind of like both you
- 4:04Speaker 2: did hurt me, but we also need to speak and
- 4:06Speaker 2: I also might have not you know, handled this the
- 4:09Speaker 2: right way. And let's just get in the same place
- 4:12Speaker 2: and get in each other's face and come talk about it.
- 4:13Speaker 2: I'm gonna use your clothes, bait.
- 4:15Speaker 6: I like that guy like accountability.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Yeah no, goh, you're choosing vulnerability over wearing emotional armor.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
- 4:23Speaker 1: So, so what shifted in your real life that allowed
- 4:25Speaker 1: that change?
- 4:26Speaker 2: I think something happens when you you know you're turning thirty,
- 4:30Speaker 2: I mean, astrologically, something major happens. You go through a
- 4:33Speaker 2: side and return and outside of that, I just I've
- 4:36Speaker 2: been through a lot in the last couple of years.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I've really spent, you know, making the changes I needed
- 4:41Speaker 2: to make. I know I saw you guys last time
- 4:43Speaker 2: we talked about mental health and all those you know,
- 4:45Speaker 2: it's been a year since then. I think when I
- 4:47Speaker 2: came to you guys last time, I was a week
- 4:49Speaker 2: into being diagnosed. I just started medication. I'm not a
- 4:52Speaker 2: year into like that journey. Very settled in, very in
- 4:55Speaker 2: my routine, very very healthy, and being able to assess
- 4:59Speaker 2: myself and assess my situations and you know, just be
- 5:03Speaker 2: on top of my stuff. Honestly, that allowed me to
- 5:06Speaker 2: be able to come to a place to write from
- 5:08Speaker 2: the perspective I'm able to write from now.
- 5:09Speaker 3: Were you ever on the other side, meaning where you
- 5:11Speaker 3: have the person to throw the clothes in the bag
- 5:13Speaker 3: and then throw the closes out the window?
- 5:14Speaker 2: For sure? First of course, Yeah, I've been like a
- 5:20Speaker 2: twenty five year old girl before. Yeah, for sure.
- 5:22Speaker 4: What has your journey been like since you said the
- 5:25Speaker 4: last time they saw you it was like first week
- 5:27Speaker 4: of Yeah, you know, what has your personal journey been like?
- 5:30Speaker 4: You know, using your medicines now and kind of understanding
- 5:33Speaker 4: you know your body and your mental that what is
- 5:35Speaker 4: that up and down or consistency been like?
- 5:37Speaker 6: It hasn't been different for you?
- 5:38Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 5:38Speaker 2: I mean, bipolar disorder is a really layered thing that
- 5:42Speaker 2: also because it's so stigmatized in the world, and there's
- 5:46Speaker 2: so many jokes about it that I think people get
- 5:48Speaker 2: really confused, you know, they think, Okay, I woke up
- 5:49Speaker 2: with an attitude, and then later on I felt better than
- 5:51Speaker 2: I had an attitude. Again, so I'm bipolar. It's a way bigger,
- 5:55Speaker 2: deeper thing than that. And I think medicine and my
- 5:59Speaker 2: thing therapy journey gave me the opportunity to have thought
- 6:03Speaker 2: applied to my mood and thought applied to situations when
- 6:07Speaker 2: you know, other like, in other ways, I wouldn't have
- 6:10Speaker 2: had the thought. I would have just felt it and
- 6:11Speaker 2: it would have just left, and next thing you know,
- 6:13Speaker 2: there's episodical things happening, and next thing you know, I'm
- 6:15Speaker 2: just gone with the wind. But this, I wouldn't say
- 6:19Speaker 2: it stops it completely, but it really allows you to
- 6:22Speaker 2: have a process. And I think that that's been the
- 6:24Speaker 2: biggest difference is I have so much, so much option
- 6:29Speaker 2: for process now, and I can go through these things
- 6:32Speaker 2: and take them slowly and think about them and like
- 6:35Speaker 2: have a second where I'm like, you know, I have
- 6:37Speaker 2: the tools now. I have a tool belt of things
- 6:39Speaker 2: I can apply, Like do I go this way? Do
- 6:41Speaker 2: I take a walk? Do I like this is not
- 6:43Speaker 2: the reaction that I want to This is not the
- 6:45Speaker 2: version of myself that I want to show up in
- 6:47Speaker 2: this situation. So things like that, I think I would.
- 6:49Speaker 3: Say it's difficult being vulnerable, right for on artists? How
- 6:52Speaker 3: difficult is that because you're showing a side of yourself
- 6:55Speaker 3: that I'm sure you think that maybe people are laugh
- 6:57Speaker 3: But then on the other side, I'm sure as the
- 6:59Speaker 3: side of says, there's so many people dealing with it,
- 7:01Speaker 3: and I love the fact artists are doing more. We
- 7:03Speaker 3: seen it with Gucci the same thing. So when did
- 7:05Speaker 3: you realize I could be that vulnerable? And was it
- 7:07Speaker 3: a hard line to draw to be?
- 7:09Speaker 1: Like?
- 7:09Speaker 3: Do I want to be this vulnerable? Do I want
- 7:11Speaker 3: to share this experience?
- 7:12Speaker 2: I think I've always been messally vulnerable, but I grew
- 7:16Speaker 2: up in front of the world. You know, everybody's been
- 7:18Speaker 2: seeing me doing interviews like this since I was nineteen
- 7:20Speaker 2: years old, and I think when you're viewing it on
- 7:23Speaker 2: the outside, it you kind of timestamp people like artists
- 7:27Speaker 2: get timestamped and whatever version of themselves stuck out to
- 7:31Speaker 2: the fan. So there's people who still view me as
- 7:34Speaker 2: something I went through when I was twenty four and like,
- 7:37Speaker 2: that's who they'll see me as forever. And when you're
- 7:39Speaker 2: twenty four at that time, you're also confidently speaking in
- 7:41Speaker 2: these interviews because you're like, this is who I am
- 7:43Speaker 2: right now, and I get it. Then ten years later.
- 7:44Speaker 3: You're like, oh my god, I don't know who that person.
- 7:46Speaker 2: I mean hasn't been ten years for me. But I'm
- 7:48Speaker 2: thirty now and I'm looking back at things I said
- 7:50Speaker 2: when I was twenty four to twenty five, even twenty seven,
- 7:52Speaker 2: and I'm like, yikes, even a year ago, I'm like, okay,
- 7:55Speaker 2: like growth, I'm different now.
- 7:58Speaker 5: It's good though, you have the self awareness that that
- 8:02Speaker 5: was supposed to go.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Yeah, you know this. This haves to feel good to
- 8:05Speaker 1: you too.
- 8:05Speaker 5: The success are folded because vocally, you were one of
- 8:08Speaker 5: the first artists I saw publicly showing support for Palestine,
- 8:13Speaker 5: and I mean you spoke out when a lot of
- 8:14Speaker 5: people weren't. I know, you lost shows because of it,
- 8:16Speaker 5: you were barred from things. How does it feel having
- 8:18Speaker 5: a success and you have it for being on the
- 8:21Speaker 5: right side of history?
- 8:23Speaker 2: Yeah? I think it shows that the things that we're
- 8:26Speaker 2: afraid of are more I don't know what the word
- 8:32Speaker 2: is, is not handleable. That's not a word, but like you
- 8:35Speaker 2: know what you mean? Yeah, like we can if we
- 8:38Speaker 2: have the courage to do things. And then so we
- 8:41Speaker 2: see people have success after doing the things that we
- 8:43Speaker 2: deem scary, we might be more courageous to do them.
- 8:47Speaker 2: And I think it's important that other artists see that
- 8:49Speaker 2: I've been able to thrive after all those things happened.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I mean there's still things that I will never be
- 8:54Speaker 2: allowed to do, or things that that are not getting
- 8:56Speaker 2: picked up or even know, oh yeah, for sure, it
- 8:59Speaker 2: probably forever. I don't think people realize how deep it goes.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I didn't even at the time realize how deep it goes. Also,
- 9:06Speaker 2: to be really frank, I was incredibly maniced. So a
- 9:08Speaker 2: lot of the routes that I went, the yelling and
- 9:11Speaker 2: the f all you guys if you guys don't understand,
- 9:14Speaker 2: and da da dad, and you know what, have my
- 9:15Speaker 2: team could go if y'all don't speak, just these different
- 9:17Speaker 2: routes versus like, hey, let me calm down and be
- 9:19Speaker 2: strategic about this, because in every single movement, in every
- 9:22Speaker 2: single political yeah movement across the board, there's more strategy
- 9:26Speaker 2: involved in the way that you communicated the way that
- 9:28Speaker 2: you choose to organize the things that you engage with,
- 9:31Speaker 2: and at the time I didn't really have those resources
- 9:33Speaker 2: to think in that way. So yeah, there's still there's
- 9:37Speaker 2: still things that I'm experiencing that I probably will experience
- 9:40Speaker 2: for a really long time. But I think this other
- 9:43Speaker 2: side of it is speaking to the fact that when
- 9:46Speaker 2: there's great music, there's great music, and when people love
- 9:49Speaker 2: the music and they love the art, then you can't
- 9:52Speaker 2: really be taken out in that way.
- 9:54Speaker 5: I'm a stern believe it that you should always move
- 9:56Speaker 5: off strategy over emotion, but you can understand the emotion, Yes, it's.
- 10:00Speaker 2: So understand Well, I'm so much grace for how I
- 10:02Speaker 2: handled it because I was really just passionate and upset.
- 10:05Speaker 2: I was angry. We should have all been angry, it was.
- 10:07Speaker 2: It was really terrible to watch and treacherous to feel
- 10:10Speaker 2: some kind of like a part of because like our
- 10:12Speaker 2: country is such a big part of it. But I
- 10:15Speaker 2: definitely wish that I was able to call myself to
- 10:19Speaker 2: be smarter about the way that I went about it
- 10:21Speaker 2: for my own sake and for being a leader in
- 10:24Speaker 2: front of a camera for other people.
- 10:26Speaker 3: And how do you feel when other artists don't speak
- 10:28Speaker 3: about it when they have the opportunity. Do you look,
- 10:30Speaker 3: how does that feel to you? Because you jumped out
- 10:32Speaker 3: the window and yeah, you got banned from things?
- 10:34Speaker 2: And I think it's really easy to say, like I
- 10:38Speaker 2: want to be very clear with my words, like it
- 10:40Speaker 2: is really easy to say that I hate them for
- 10:43Speaker 2: it or I really blame them. But after experiencing everything
- 10:48Speaker 2: I went through, which went way deeper than just being
- 10:51Speaker 2: banned from things that you know, got into my safety,
- 10:53Speaker 2: my family, dynamics, my friendships, I had to move. It
- 10:58Speaker 2: put me into really paranoia every time I left the
- 11:01Speaker 2: house of was everybody out to get me? And did
- 11:03Speaker 2: I need security to sit in front of my house?
- 11:05Speaker 2: And was anybody plotting on me? And the death threats
- 11:07Speaker 2: I got it my show was like highly organized, typed out,
- 11:11Speaker 2: detailed death threats. It's easy to say like that shouldn't
- 11:17Speaker 2: matter because we should all be, you know, up in arms,
- 11:19Speaker 2: and part of me is like, yeah, we should. But
- 11:22Speaker 2: also I wish there was it wasn't so sinister, like
- 11:25Speaker 2: the lashings behind the scene. I wish it wasn't so sinister,
- 11:29Speaker 2: and I wish it wasn't something to be afraid of.
- 11:31Speaker 2: I think if we all spoken numbers and there was
- 11:34Speaker 2: so many of us, it wouldn't be so easy to
- 11:37Speaker 2: just come after one person. I think when you leave
- 11:39Speaker 2: it to be one or two people, it's easy to
- 11:41Speaker 2: just get them out of here. We've seen it historically.
- 11:44Speaker 2: But if it's a lot of people, who can they
- 11:46Speaker 2: get there's a bunch of us.
- 11:47Speaker 5: Did it make you speak out even more because you
- 11:50Speaker 5: did it the Red Carpet on the AMAS, you voiced
- 11:53Speaker 5: support for Valisteine, So when you were getting backlashs behind
- 11:56Speaker 5: the scenes, you're like, now I'm an go out there
- 11:57Speaker 5: even more.
- 11:58Speaker 2: I just like I was like I'm already here, Like
- 12:01Speaker 2: I'm already experiencing everything I'm experiencing, and it hasn't stopped,
- 12:05Speaker 2: like it hasn't stopped, Like it's still you know, cease
- 12:10Speaker 2: fire and all still hasn't stopped. And if even if
- 12:13Speaker 2: you know, the genocide itself does stop, there's a much
- 12:16Speaker 2: larger thing at hand there, which is, you know, ending
- 12:18Speaker 2: the apartheid. So I don't know, I don't think it
- 12:22Speaker 2: was ever like an intentional I'm gonna choose to speak.
- 12:25Speaker 2: I was asked a question on the carpet, and I
- 12:27Speaker 2: answered it and my stance remains the same.
- 12:29Speaker 5: So it is just interesting that you would still be
- 12:31Speaker 5: getting back like because even the UN Chief said there
- 12:33Speaker 5: are strong reasons to believe that war crimes have been committed.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're dealing We're dealing with a very delusional
- 12:41Speaker 2: other side. It's a very delusional side where you have
- 12:45Speaker 2: shown videos and you've shown facts and they've seen things,
- 12:48Speaker 2: and the response is literally, that's not even real, Like
- 12:52Speaker 2: y'all made this up, you know, like you kind of
- 12:55Speaker 2: at some point have to be like, Okay, there's a
- 12:56Speaker 2: game here, and I'm not going to play this game
- 12:58Speaker 2: with you guys, because you know what you're doing. I'm
- 13:00Speaker 2: not gonna I'm not gonna play it.
- 13:01Speaker 6: So and you also, I was mitched ice right the comment.
- 13:05Speaker 4: I saw the comments about you know, you speaking out
- 13:08Speaker 4: on the ice and them going into schools and things
- 13:10Speaker 4: and that I know you're a mom as well, but like,
- 13:13Speaker 4: has there have you experienced any similar pushback from the
- 13:16Speaker 4: other side or wherever because of those comments?
- 13:19Speaker 2: No? Yeah, Yeah, Zionism is a much larger, deeper, darker,
- 13:26Speaker 2: sinister thing than good old regular American racism, even though
- 13:31Speaker 2: they're very intertwined and they walk hand in hand with
- 13:35Speaker 2: each other a little bit. But yeah, no, I haven't
- 13:37Speaker 2: experienced any pushback from that. I think we're all more
- 13:40Speaker 2: comfortable talking about that in general than you know, anything else.
- 13:44Speaker 3: So I was gonna ask, you know, we also seen
- 13:46Speaker 3: you speak out about AI in the industry, and the
- 13:49Speaker 3: crazy part about it is, uh, I agree with you,
- 13:52Speaker 3: but I think it's crazy for an artist. We had
- 13:54Speaker 3: Tank and they were they were talking about they think
- 13:58Speaker 3: it's a good thing, and now you know, artists and
- 14:01Speaker 3: the industry needs to adapt to it. I think it
- 14:03Speaker 3: kind of hurts the fact of the creativity.
- 14:12Speaker 2: I think there's so many layers to it. One we're
- 14:14Speaker 2: going to put out there that you know, it's not
- 14:15Speaker 2: good for the environment. It's affecting communities everywhere, but especially
- 14:21Speaker 2: disparage Black communities in Americas, messing with the waters, messing
- 14:25Speaker 2: with the air like it's going to make people sick
- 14:26Speaker 2: in the long run. We move on from that and
- 14:29Speaker 2: get into all these aspects of music that are being
- 14:34Speaker 2: and jobs. Let's forget music, right. I'm speaking to music
- 14:39Speaker 2: because I'm being asked about music, you know, but I'm not.
- 14:42Speaker 2: I think there's a much larger thing of like all
- 14:44Speaker 2: these little jobs that people are employed to do. That
- 14:47Speaker 2: is keeping their families going, that is literally feeding everyone
- 14:50Speaker 2: around them are just gone and we don't realize we're training,
- 14:55Speaker 2: you know, these systems to do those things. There's things
- 14:57Speaker 2: that I understand. I think I was told about how
- 15:00Speaker 2: it is working for surgeries, like these robots are helping
- 15:05Speaker 2: in surgery, you know, more precise surgeries. And then there's
- 15:09Speaker 2: you know, like the disabled community and being able to
- 15:13Speaker 2: get things done in that way. And I've experienced producers
- 15:16Speaker 2: and writers be stuck on something and use it to
- 15:20Speaker 2: help or like finish something and then get it replayed
- 15:23Speaker 2: or get it remade. And like those aren't exactly things
- 15:25Speaker 2: that I'm super mad about. Like I'm not going to
- 15:27Speaker 2: bark at them the same way, but overall as a whole, but.
- 15:30Speaker 3: A fake person, a fake art, as a fake singer.
- 15:32Speaker 2: It's just unfortunate because I think music is such a
- 15:35Speaker 2: God given thing. It's it's it's the highest gift, you know,
- 15:38Speaker 2: God gave to Earth. It's used in every single religion
- 15:40Speaker 2: across the board to connect with God. It's it's it's
- 15:42Speaker 2: a very powerful thing. And for it to be generated
- 15:47Speaker 2: in that way and also be what it's what it's
- 15:49Speaker 2: using to be generated is a combination of real people's
- 15:52Speaker 2: stories and real people's voices and real people's feelings and
- 15:55Speaker 2: emotion and for all that to happen even deeper than oh,
- 15:59Speaker 2: it's going to take our because there's this sensationalized sentence
- 16:02Speaker 2: of mind that's like, why do I have to compete
- 16:05Speaker 2: with a computer. But it's not about competing. It's more like,
- 16:08Speaker 2: this is a disruption of something that God gave us,
- 16:11Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And that feels wrong to me.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Like it's music is such a it comes from here,
- 16:18Speaker 2: it's given here, and to have that generated through a
- 16:21Speaker 2: computer just feels like it just feels wrong.
- 16:23Speaker 5: I like this argument, Kline. I like this because I
- 16:25Speaker 5: feel the same way. It is a download from God
- 16:28Speaker 5: downloaded from a computer. But you will not have you know,
- 16:30Speaker 5: they have Jesus AI. You can log on and have
- 16:34Speaker 5: meaningful conversations with Jesus.
- 16:36Speaker 3: And Jesus a message and then yeah, that back a
- 16:39Speaker 3: biblical verse.
- 16:41Speaker 2: I think it's going to go so far. I think
- 16:44Speaker 2: it's going to go so far. I don't think people
- 16:46Speaker 2: are thinking about the negative implications, like being able to
- 16:49Speaker 2: be framed for things, being able to have images created
- 16:54Speaker 2: of your children that are inappropriate. That lives on people's
- 16:57Speaker 2: computers and they can do whatever they want to it.
- 17:01Speaker 2: When you're when you wake up one day and somebody
- 17:02Speaker 2: has a sex tape of you that never happened. If
- 17:06Speaker 2: they can make.
- 17:07Speaker 6: That's happening now?
- 17:08Speaker 2: Oh it is that? What have you heard about the
- 17:09Speaker 2: people getting the phone calls that was three years ago?
- 17:12Speaker 1: Yeah, they call you and you hear your kids with somebody.
- 17:15Speaker 2: I need a X amount of money because my kid
- 17:16Speaker 2: got kidding, Like, I don't think people are. It's just
- 17:19Speaker 2: cute and fun and games now and you want to
- 17:20Speaker 2: make videos of Malcolm X eating and seafood boil with
- 17:22Speaker 2: Martin Luther King and and Michael Jackson and Prince have
- 17:26Speaker 2: an argument about whose funeral was more lit, Like I've
- 17:28Speaker 2: seen them all. You know it's it's but there comes
- 17:31Speaker 2: a point when you have to realize that where there's
- 17:34Speaker 2: always light and fun, there's always going to be the
- 17:37Speaker 2: extreme of that existing somewhere that we can't access it.
- 17:41Speaker 2: And I also think something is real sinister about the
- 17:43Speaker 2: White House using so much AI.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Oh, this election is gonna be crazy, Yeah, it's gonna
- 17:47Speaker 1: be nice.
- 17:48Speaker 2: How are they going to be able to say anything
- 17:49Speaker 2: was real or false.
- 17:51Speaker 4: What do you say to the people, Because I know
- 17:53Speaker 4: one of the conversations that you were having with specifically
- 17:56Speaker 4: about the three million dollar deal and reported three million
- 17:58Speaker 4: dollars that Zenaya the ai the thing I don't.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Even know how to the compute it.
- 18:04Speaker 6: Yeah, the artist that I am on a guy.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Right.
- 18:07Speaker 4: There are people that'll say all of that is true,
- 18:09Speaker 4: but there's good and bad with everything. But on the
- 18:10Speaker 4: other hand, you have this black woman who is using
- 18:13Speaker 4: her poetry to write lyrics and now it's three million
- 18:15Speaker 4: dollars wealthier and able to do for her family and
- 18:17Speaker 4: stuff like that.
- 18:18Speaker 2: I mean, I said, even in the times I've spoken
- 18:20Speaker 2: about her, I'm not mad at her ability to have
- 18:23Speaker 2: done that for herself. I think it's dishonest the way
- 18:26Speaker 2: we're speaking about it, because I think it's a very
- 18:29Speaker 2: interesting thing to be responding to particular comments and saying
- 18:33Speaker 2: certain things but not telling the truth. Tell the truth.
- 18:37Speaker 2: You wrote a couple lines, you said a couple words,
- 18:40Speaker 2: then you framed I might want it to sound like this,
- 18:42Speaker 2: and go like this, and take from this and make
- 18:43Speaker 2: it sound like this, and make it appeal in this
- 18:45Speaker 2: way and make me look like this and dah da da,
- 18:47Speaker 2: and it did all of that. You're doing fifteen percent
- 18:49Speaker 2: of the job. Let's just be honest about what the
- 18:52Speaker 2: fifteen percent of the job is. If you write poetry,
- 18:55Speaker 2: I would love to write with a poet. I've written
- 18:57Speaker 2: with poets before they come in. We write together. I
- 18:59Speaker 2: turn their words into a song. I use my songwriter
- 19:01Speaker 2: brain to apply to their poetry brain, and we make
- 19:04Speaker 2: a really beautiful product product. But I'm watching her answer
- 19:08Speaker 2: these questions and I'm watching the lies accumulate and like
- 19:11Speaker 2: take together in her head to try to figure out
- 19:13Speaker 2: what to say. And I'm like, we could just tell
- 19:15Speaker 2: the truth and say what the tool is being used for,
- 19:18Speaker 2: and then maybe it can have its separate charts, or
- 19:21Speaker 2: it cannot because you're right, there is no stopping yet.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I could get, you know, ship for being said it
- 19:26Speaker 2: should have its own charts, But at this point it's
- 19:28Speaker 2: something has to be done.
- 19:29Speaker 3: AI with AI artists.
- 19:31Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I had created something called guaranteed Human.
- 19:37Speaker 5: I saw that, so at least, you know, if I guess,
- 19:39Speaker 5: if you we're going to be human like the personalities
- 19:42Speaker 5: and music. But if one day they do decide to
- 19:44Speaker 5: play AI music. It'll still you know.
- 19:46Speaker 1: This is AI music.
- 19:47Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, it's less about I want everybody to
- 19:52Speaker 2: feed their families and be successful at the end of
- 19:54Speaker 2: the day. That like, that's my wish. If I had
- 19:56Speaker 2: one wish in the world, it would be for everybody
- 19:59Speaker 2: to have their needs made. So I'm never mad at that.
- 20:01Speaker 5: I just you said, because I was going to ask you,
- 20:03Speaker 5: what does authentic music have that AI generated music could
- 20:06Speaker 5: not have?
- 20:07Speaker 1: God?
- 20:08Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. I don't. I don't. I don't play
- 20:12Speaker 2: with things like that. You know, it's it's it's it's
- 20:14Speaker 2: such a deep thing, and I feel like not us
- 20:17Speaker 2: being able to I watched the A artists even talk
- 20:20Speaker 2: about God. Is it is insane? The AI gospel that
- 20:24Speaker 2: is insane. I'm looking in Zenaiamone's Yeah, I'm looking at
- 20:27Speaker 2: Zanaimon's comments and they're saying, since you're anointed, that's kind
- 20:31Speaker 2: of crazy.
- 20:32Speaker 6: I mean, I'm go go look at the comments right now.
- 20:34Speaker 4: But I will say when I first heard the song,
- 20:36Speaker 4: when everybody was up in arms, I had to listen
- 20:38Speaker 4: to the music, and I went and listened and.
- 20:39Speaker 6: I was like, oh, this is actually like it's good music.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Because you know what, it's doing though, it's analyzing the
- 20:46Speaker 2: community that she's trying to appeal to, which means it's
- 20:50Speaker 2: studying black women, saying what do black women want to hear?
- 20:53Speaker 2: What perspectives, what type of voices, what kind of stories,
- 20:57Speaker 2: what kind of emotions, and then accumulate all of that
- 21:00Speaker 2: and going, I'm going to give you a package deal
- 21:02Speaker 2: of exactly what you want, even down to what I
- 21:04Speaker 2: look like.
- 21:05Speaker 1: It's an artificial annointing.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Artificial I don't know if that goes on it. I
- 21:10Speaker 2: don't know if that goes on the same sentence.
- 21:12Speaker 3: But you know, hey, are you a guesst The chat
- 21:15Speaker 3: GPT stuff as well.
- 21:16Speaker 2: I'm against people putting it in place of very human things. Look,
- 21:21Speaker 2: we are entering it.
- 21:22Speaker 3: Makes life easier for a lot of people.
- 21:24Speaker 2: It does, and that's the and that's the argument.
- 21:26Speaker 3: It does because kids go to school. You can type
- 21:28Speaker 3: it in a pay I have to do a report
- 21:29Speaker 3: on this type and chat GPT.
- 21:32Speaker 2: The argument of like people who can't afford English classes
- 21:35Speaker 2: that moved here and need English classes is teaching them English?
- 21:38Speaker 2: Like there are there's always gonna be this thing. That's like,
- 21:43Speaker 2: there are things that it is good for, and there
- 21:45Speaker 2: are things that it is bad for outside of you know,
- 21:47Speaker 2: what's it doing, what it's doing to the environment, but
- 21:49Speaker 2: we become gluttonous with it, and it's there is not regulated, guys.
- 21:53Speaker 2: That's really the problem is that it's not regulated. Did
- 21:57Speaker 2: you not see the moments where people were telling them
- 22:00Speaker 2: or chagbt to cancel itself and then it hops servers
- 22:04Speaker 2: to avoid getting deleted, like I robot, Yes, it hot.
- 22:07Speaker 2: I promise you can look this up right now. It
- 22:10Speaker 2: jumped servers because it didn't want to get If it
- 22:13Speaker 2: can observe all of our emotions, why couldn't it be
- 22:15Speaker 2: able to think of something as sinister as we could
- 22:17Speaker 2: think of and not want to get canceled or not
- 22:19Speaker 2: want to get deleted, or not want to be gone
- 22:21Speaker 2: or want to it's studying us twenty four seven.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Yeah, it's something.
- 22:25Speaker 5: I mean, I totally agree with you with the God thing,
- 22:27Speaker 5: because there's something to be in a spiritual being living
- 22:30Speaker 5: in human existence, right Like we're supposed to make mistakes.
- 22:33Speaker 1: We're supposed to try to figure things out like us.
- 22:35Speaker 5: Like yeah, through prayer and meditation and just and therapy.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Community. Being a community member is really important. Talking to people,
- 22:43Speaker 2: having other people talk to you back, sharing experience, messing
- 22:46Speaker 2: up together, being held accountable, being called in, growing, getting
- 22:49Speaker 2: applause from other humans, getting love from other humans. If
- 22:53Speaker 2: we're all just going to be alone, getting all those
- 22:55Speaker 2: things from a robot, like, we're gonna stunt ourselves as
- 22:58Speaker 2: a world species.
- 23:00Speaker 1: I agree?
- 23:01Speaker 2: Then what happens to love and what happens to art
- 23:03Speaker 2: and what happens to music? I just had. I've been
- 23:05Speaker 2: having this conversation for weeks, So, like you know that,
- 23:08Speaker 2: paired with how the internet's obsessed with destroying each other
- 23:11Speaker 2: and calling and completely ruining people's lives and doing all
- 23:14Speaker 2: these kind of things, we're entering a very individualistic, let's
- 23:18Speaker 2: kill community for people kind of world, Like we're isolating
- 23:22Speaker 2: everyone from every side, technology and each other is becoming
- 23:25Speaker 2: this huge isolation isolation party, and it's really sad.
- 23:29Speaker 3: How does that make you as a mom now? Because
- 23:30Speaker 3: you have a daughter, So how are you raising your
- 23:32Speaker 3: child in this type of world that you just named?
- 23:35Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Because these other kids when
- 23:37Speaker 3: they go to these colleges and schools, they're gonna be
- 23:38Speaker 3: using chat, GPT. You know, these other kids are gonna
- 23:41Speaker 3: be using things that necessarily you don't agree with you know,
- 23:44Speaker 3: So how do you raise that daughter in this crazy
- 23:46Speaker 3: world with information?
- 23:48Speaker 2: I think I give her all the information possible. I don't.
- 23:51Speaker 2: I don't lie to my kid. I don't you know.
- 23:52Speaker 2: Obviously you don't just outright tell her terrible things, but
- 23:55Speaker 2: like you give her all the information so she knows
- 23:58Speaker 2: what's out there, and I tell her why I don't
- 24:00Speaker 2: agree with this, why I think this is bad, Why
- 24:03Speaker 2: you know I'm not gonna say no to this, but
- 24:05Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you another option and explain why that
- 24:07Speaker 2: option is probably the better option to do, and let
- 24:10Speaker 2: her decide. Ultimately, I can't protect her from what she
- 24:13Speaker 2: learns at school and what her friends share and things
- 24:15Speaker 2: like that. But at home, we're very like human focused,
- 24:19Speaker 2: and I'm very communal. Like she's a big extended family.
- 24:22Speaker 2: She's a million aunties and uncles and cousins, and she
- 24:25Speaker 2: lives a very I have community and people around me
- 24:29Speaker 2: kind of life. She's not sitting in the corner on
- 24:30Speaker 2: her iPad alone all day. That's just not her life.
- 24:32Speaker 3: Does she see the How does she feel about the
- 24:34Speaker 3: evolved version of Kaylani?
- 24:36Speaker 2: Right?
- 24:36Speaker 3: Because you said.
- 24:36Speaker 2: You've she's six, I don't know.
- 24:39Speaker 3: Between three and six and four and six like bad mommy's.
- 24:44Speaker 2: I mean, I've been her mom the whole time. I've
- 24:46Speaker 2: just been my daughter's mom the whole time. How everyone
- 24:49Speaker 2: else gets to see me is never going to be
- 24:52Speaker 2: how she sees me, because I'm just her mommy. I
- 24:54Speaker 2: always have been, I always will be. I don't fall
- 24:58Speaker 2: apart in front of her, don't put it. I don't
- 25:01Speaker 2: put her in any adult situation, and she doesn't have
- 25:03Speaker 2: a clue if anything is going on with me. I've
- 25:05Speaker 2: just been her happy mom this whole time. And I
- 25:07Speaker 2: take pride in that.
- 25:08Speaker 6: I saw the interview that you guys did you and
- 25:10Speaker 6: your daughter?
- 25:11Speaker 4: Yeah, and she, first of all, she's adorable, but I
- 25:14Speaker 4: know that there's always like a protection with like artists
- 25:17Speaker 4: and stars to put their kids out there. And it
- 25:18Speaker 4: was a cute you know, non environment, non in the
- 25:21Speaker 4: adult environment, But like what made you get to a
- 25:23Speaker 4: point where you're like, Okay, I'll let her start doing
- 25:25Speaker 4: things like this because she's watching Mommy perform.
- 25:27Speaker 2: She wants to stuff like that. Okay, she wants to, she
- 25:30Speaker 2: loves it. But then she gets there and she turned
- 25:31Speaker 2: the camera on and then she's silent because she's scared them.
- 25:33Speaker 2: In the camera's office, She's like, that was great. But
- 25:36Speaker 2: I think I will say this as actually a blanket
- 25:39Speaker 2: statement for personal relationships in general, whether it's your family,
- 25:44Speaker 2: your friends, your loved ones, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, whatever,
- 25:48Speaker 2: and being a celebrity is we very unfortunately entered a
- 25:51Speaker 2: very high surveillance society. Like it's become so hot, Like
- 25:57Speaker 2: and I'm so passionate about this because we're also a
- 26:00Speaker 2: generation that is very anti police. Right, I'm super anti police,
- 26:04Speaker 2: but I'm watching us all kind of become police. Like
- 26:06Speaker 2: we're filming the couple behind us have an argument, and
- 26:10Speaker 2: next thing you know, their very private argument has become
- 26:12Speaker 2: a TikTok story time or you know, I'm autumn, I'm
- 26:16Speaker 2: taking somebody's taking screenshots of the first time. They're even
- 26:19Speaker 2: getting my number and they're posting it on their story like, y'all,
- 26:21Speaker 2: I got Kline's number. Like it's all of these I
- 26:24Speaker 2: walk into a restaurant with my partner or my daughter,
- 26:26Speaker 2: and if I'm choosing to hide one of them, I
- 26:28Speaker 2: gotta worry about this at the time. Now, camera, it's
- 26:35Speaker 2: it's insane. So you kind of come to this point,
- 26:37Speaker 2: right as a person in front of a microscope. Do
- 26:41Speaker 2: I want to be anxious all the time? Twenty four
- 26:44Speaker 2: to seven and experience I experienced fame paranoia, where like
- 26:48Speaker 2: if I'm hiding something or if I'm keeping something to myself,
- 26:52Speaker 2: it gets angled as I'm hiding something or lying to
- 26:55Speaker 2: the public. And so I'm doing regular things at the
- 26:58Speaker 2: grocery store, even a date with my partner, things like that,
- 27:02Speaker 2: and have to be shell shocked because I'm worried that
- 27:05Speaker 2: people are going to be surveilling me to have some
- 27:08Speaker 2: kind of gotcha moment or some kind of I know
- 27:10Speaker 2: more about them than you do, or look what I
- 27:12Speaker 2: discovered so I can get a moment off of this,
- 27:16Speaker 2: And whole time it's just my real life. So I
- 27:18Speaker 2: think you can protect as much as you want to protect,
- 27:21Speaker 2: and still that's not a guarantee that you're protected.
- 27:24Speaker 5: Made you more cautious about who gets access to the
- 27:27Speaker 5: real cayline.
- 27:29Speaker 2: Yes, I mean from what I can control, you know,
- 27:32Speaker 2: from you know, who hangs out of my inner circle
- 27:35Speaker 2: or who comes to my house, you know, things like that.
- 27:37Speaker 2: But we're also again because of this highly you know,
- 27:42Speaker 2: surveilled kind of like audience state that we're in is
- 27:46Speaker 2: like you're also in a constant state of having to
- 27:49Speaker 2: prove yourself, Like am I a good person? Am I
- 27:52Speaker 2: a decent person? Do I make good decisions? Do I
- 27:54Speaker 2: mess up sometimes? Have I made a bad decision? Have
- 27:57Speaker 2: I been contradicting? Have I been a hypocrite? And those
- 28:00Speaker 2: are all very human things. But I think we've been
- 28:04Speaker 2: taught now all of a sudden that we have to
- 28:06Speaker 2: constantly show ourselves deeply in order for people to not
- 28:10Speaker 2: create other narratives. Like now, controlling your narrative looks like
- 28:15Speaker 2: almost bearing your soul just so people can believe that
- 28:18Speaker 2: you're a decent person. So you really don't get room.
- 28:21Speaker 2: The more mysterious you are, the more people I've seen
- 28:24Speaker 2: the craziest things about myself.
- 28:26Speaker 3: That's the craziest thing You've Oh.
- 28:27Speaker 2: I I've seen came into people's job and like smacked him,
- 28:32Speaker 2: Like I like I see that? Can you see it?
- 28:36Speaker 1: No?
- 28:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I've never walked into nobody job. I've just seen
- 28:43Speaker 2: things I've seen. I've tried to date so and so's
- 28:46Speaker 2: ex girlfriends, little sisters, brother, cousin and did whatever with
- 28:49Speaker 2: them at some random place and a place I've never been,
- 28:52Speaker 2: like just and people will believe it because it's typed
- 28:56Speaker 2: on and app or said by someone on TikTok. And
- 29:00Speaker 2: if I respond, then I'm too reactive. I need to
- 29:03Speaker 2: be Beyonce and say, fd Internet, Why am I explaining myself?
- 29:08Speaker 2: How dare I explain myself? But the things you see,
- 29:11Speaker 2: it's not normal, It's not normal. But here we are.
- 29:15Speaker 2: You know, this is what we've this is what we've become.
- 29:17Speaker 1: So you just you said you anti police?
- 29:20Speaker 5: Yeah, am anti police misconduct, AM anti police brutality. I'm
- 29:24Speaker 5: anti police killing, you know, unarmed black and brown people.
- 29:27Speaker 5: But I'm not anti police. Somebody breaking into my house,
- 29:29Speaker 5: I'm calling that one one.
- 29:32Speaker 2: But who's to guarantee that the police aren't going to
- 29:34Speaker 2: come and kill you?
- 29:35Speaker 1: That is true? But what others do we got?
- 29:38Speaker 2: Well, I think people who are anti police are in
- 29:42Speaker 2: favor of, at some point some other kind of system
- 29:45Speaker 2: coming along that isn't built on the values of the police,
- 29:50Speaker 2: that is built on communal values and actual safety values.
- 29:53Speaker 2: That's assuming that we can imagine up and conjure up
- 29:56Speaker 2: a better world to facilitate something like that. And and
- 30:00Speaker 2: also on a much larger scale, a lot of crime
- 30:02Speaker 2: is happening because people's needs aren't met. If someone robs
- 30:06Speaker 2: your house, it's probably because they were broken they needed it.
- 30:09Speaker 2: Imagine if those people had enough to survive and enough
- 30:12Speaker 2: to thrive, they probably wouldn't need to rob your house them.
- 30:16Speaker 2: You know what if that's even live your protect your family.
- 30:19Speaker 2: I do believe in people protecting themselves. I'm not anti
- 30:21Speaker 2: protect yourself. I'm anti there should not be an extension
- 30:25Speaker 2: of the government that is able to do things like
- 30:28Speaker 2: this with no consequence. They don't answer to anyone. They
- 30:31Speaker 2: are gang members. That is a gang. And it goes
- 30:35Speaker 2: even further with them being trained and tied into military
- 30:39Speaker 2: militaries of other places. I'm trying to talk bluntly as
- 30:43Speaker 2: possible as I can, but it's just a much larger again,
- 30:48Speaker 2: much more sinister thing where things are tied up into
- 30:52Speaker 2: these larger pyramids and police are very close to the top.
- 30:55Speaker 5: Who does the security at your shows? Because I can
- 30:58Speaker 5: see this right now, the refuse to do security show.
- 31:02Speaker 2: I would actually love that we actually tried. There was
- 31:05Speaker 2: an initiative that no name was I think, if I'm wrong,
- 31:10Speaker 2: was trying to start where a bunch of us were
- 31:12Speaker 2: trying to sign on to remove police presence from our show,
- 31:15Speaker 2: but only like four or five of us were down,
- 31:17Speaker 2: So then we thought, like, if there's only four five
- 31:19Speaker 2: of us, actually these venues are just gonna stop booking us.
- 31:22Speaker 2: It's easier to just say no to five of us
- 31:25Speaker 2: than it is to you know, adhere to this. For
- 31:29Speaker 2: just five of us, it's just just just don't even
- 31:31Speaker 2: book these five people. We get a million other shows
- 31:32Speaker 2: a month at the same venue, so I think that's
- 31:35Speaker 2: the preferred thing. I don't want police at my shows.
- 31:37Speaker 2: I don't know if there really are police said my shows.
- 31:40Speaker 2: I don't think so. Maybe if I do like a
- 31:42Speaker 2: summer jam or like a you know, a bigger thing
- 31:44Speaker 2: where there's way more artists. But when it's just me
- 31:46Speaker 2: that I have security, I got a tongue in standing outside.
- 31:50Speaker 1: You know, yeah, you gonna catch hell down.
- 31:55Speaker 2: He's got me.
- 31:58Speaker 4: I wanted to go back to the microscope, being on
- 32:00Speaker 4: the microscope conversation that you were having. One of the things
- 32:03Speaker 4: that hit the microscope was the back and forth with
- 32:05Speaker 4: your daughter's dade. Where are you guys? Now know that
- 32:09Speaker 4: you guys are supposed to do like mediation and like
- 32:11Speaker 4: you kind of figure things out internally like.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Full custody, got you full custody?
- 32:16Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, and then is there contact with him? Okay?
- 32:22Speaker 6: Yeah answers.
- 32:24Speaker 4: I mean, because that was the situation that I think
- 32:26Speaker 4: for the one of the few times that we kind
- 32:30Speaker 4: of saw you're in a mom light, but you also
- 32:34Speaker 4: are then having to come and defend yourself so much
- 32:36Speaker 4: because the things that were claimed.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I sat silent for most of it.
- 32:39Speaker 4: You were silent for a while until there was like,
- 32:42Speaker 4: like the claim and he did backtrack a lot of
- 32:44Speaker 4: the claim.
- 32:46Speaker 6: But yeah, all of that.
- 32:46Speaker 4: Yeah, while that's happening, and you're sitting silent, right and
- 32:49Speaker 4: you still have your baby here. How difficult that you're
- 32:52Speaker 4: silent and you still have your baby.
- 32:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's very real. You're in a you're
- 32:57Speaker 2: in a court related situation. So at the end of
- 32:59Speaker 2: the day, you're you're listening to your lawyer, you're listening
- 33:02Speaker 2: to ultimately, I was trying to protect my child. No
- 33:06Speaker 2: mother wants to wake up, And I can bear anything
- 33:09Speaker 2: attached to my name in my hurt. I might throw
- 33:11Speaker 2: a little bit of a fit about it, but I'm
- 33:14Speaker 2: an adult. I can bear that. When you see your
- 33:16Speaker 2: child's name attach to these things. Your child's photo next
- 33:20Speaker 2: to certain words and certain verbiage and certain things. That's
- 33:23Speaker 2: a bit of a heartbreaker. And so I had to really, honestly,
- 33:27Speaker 2: I probably learned the most about God through that situation
- 33:30Speaker 2: because I.
- 33:30Speaker 3: Was on my kids.
- 33:35Speaker 6: Beyond that.
- 33:36Speaker 2: God protect me, and God protect my child, Like really,
- 33:39Speaker 2: God shield my child. God make it so that when
- 33:41Speaker 2: she goes to school, there's no other parents that are
- 33:44Speaker 2: going to bring this up. There is no children that
- 33:46Speaker 2: are going to be told something scary and then have
- 33:48Speaker 2: to act weird towards her. God may this not follow
- 33:51Speaker 2: her when she's older. Because I can bear it and
- 33:54Speaker 2: I can deal with it because I've been through a lot.
- 33:56Speaker 2: This actually was only treacherous because it was so public.
- 33:59Speaker 2: I have through many things that were way worse than this,
- 34:05Speaker 2: And ultimately it was just it was just thinking about
- 34:07Speaker 2: your kid, thinking about your kid, thinking about your kid.
- 34:09Speaker 2: That is it.
- 34:09Speaker 5: And how come when people be on their healing journey
- 34:11Speaker 5: and you know, we start meditating and you know, going
- 34:14Speaker 5: to therapy and charging our crystals under the supermoo, why
- 34:17Speaker 5: we got.
- 34:18Speaker 1: To be in a cult? They say, we're in a cult.
- 34:21Speaker 2: It's a it's a tough situation. Ultimately the claims were false,
- 34:25Speaker 2: it wasn't true. He backtracked a lot, a lot of
- 34:28Speaker 2: was discovered, a lot came out in certain documents of
- 34:32Speaker 2: whatever the court case X y Z, and a lot
- 34:35Speaker 2: of it just got refuted. And people who are very
- 34:38Speaker 2: obsessed with disliking me, and we're waiting for a gotcha
- 34:40Speaker 2: moment again, in a moment to prove she's so fucking weird.
- 34:44Speaker 2: We'll hold on to that forever. But that's not really
- 34:46Speaker 2: my ministry to change their mind. Yeah, you know, those
- 34:48Speaker 2: are very miserable. We have a lot of a lot
- 34:52Speaker 2: of misery on this earth like and as for you know,
- 34:54Speaker 2: hopefully they find some healing and they find something that
- 34:57Speaker 2: makes them happy, because ultimately doing that is not going
- 34:59Speaker 2: to make it they want any happier. But maybe in
- 35:01Speaker 2: the moment, do you.
- 35:03Speaker 4: Are probably not now like the conversation you had with
- 35:05Speaker 4: your daughter about all of this at some point, have
- 35:07Speaker 4: you You haven't had that yet or have you?
- 35:10Speaker 2: I mean I had to explain to her why I
- 35:11Speaker 2: was going to court, and why what visitation is and
- 35:16Speaker 2: what that means, and why we're not on communication and
- 35:19Speaker 2: all those kind of things, and she was very understanding,
- 35:22Speaker 2: and she was, She's moved through it and we've taken
- 35:25Speaker 2: the day by day.
- 35:25Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you switching gears it is. You said Brandy
- 35:33Speaker 5: was on your Mount Rushmore.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Yes, who else?
- 35:37Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder is the head of the Mount Rushmore is
- 35:41Speaker 2: his vocals are just I think artistreet okay, okay, okay.
- 35:46Speaker 4: And this for everybody or you said every artist or
- 35:48Speaker 4: every singer should have this Mount Rushmore.
- 35:50Speaker 2: I think every singer should have different kinds of Mount Rushmore's.
- 35:54Speaker 2: Like I said, she should be on the vocal Mount Rushmore,
- 35:56Speaker 2: but also artistry like in general, but she should be
- 35:58Speaker 2: on everyone's vocal Mount More undred per.
- 36:01Speaker 1: I want to know your vocal, my vocal, my Russian?
- 36:03Speaker 2: Okay, Brandy Beyonce.
- 36:10Speaker 3: Can't put them next to each other.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Have a beautiful tour, having a beautiful tour, please, I'm sorry. Yeah,
- 36:25Speaker 2: Beyonce w Houston obviously, Yeah, definitely.
- 36:30Speaker 1: What I wanted to make sure it was.
- 36:31Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a lineage, right, there's no Brandy
- 36:35Speaker 2: without Yeah what did you think I didn't think that?
- 36:42Speaker 1: Sometimes?
- 36:43Speaker 4: No, no, no, I love trying to like teach you
- 36:45Speaker 4: without you trying to.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Get a gotcha moment, right, bringing it back.
- 36:51Speaker 4: It's like a O G pull up, but it can
- 36:52Speaker 4: feel like but I didn't assume if okay, as long.
- 36:56Speaker 3: As you can't talk. The other day we had Christopher
- 36:58Speaker 3: Williams up here and I.
- 36:59Speaker 4: Was like, the comedian, no, because we had a comedian
- 37:03Speaker 4: we had on the schedule and I didn't know the
- 37:06Speaker 4: names of this new comedian and singer. Then he asked me,
- 37:09Speaker 4: and I said, is that the one that's the comedian?
- 37:11Speaker 4: And then I said, you.
- 37:14Speaker 1: Know Christopher Wiams And she goes, oh, you ha, a comedian.
- 37:20Speaker 4: Exact the comedian And then he said she doesn't know.
- 37:22Speaker 4: I said, oh, so that's the R and B singer.
- 37:24Speaker 6: Did that not happen last one?
- 37:26Speaker 1: Brandy?
- 37:28Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, Mariah, Yeah, absolutely. We're talking about like
- 37:34Speaker 2: freaky level like channel talent of like okay, well, when
- 37:39Speaker 2: will anybody be able to ever do that again? Type people?
