- 6:18Speaker 1: I just heard Tip say it, and I know it means.
- 6:20Speaker 3: It's a bunch of problems. In your vocal from Tip,
- 6:24Speaker 3: I know that's not a bad person to give up.
- 6:31Speaker 9: You know how to spell it, though, No, I do
- 6:33Speaker 9: not know what is it called the Nundrumum?
- 6:36Speaker 1: What does that mean? There's a whole bunch of problems
- 6:39Speaker 1: going on in the same damn town. That's what Tip

- 6:47Speaker 8: Yeah, I put out a spelling video.
- 6:48Speaker 1: He says all the time.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Anyway, are you guys hip to what's going on? Or
- 6:54Speaker 3: did ye? There's a whole lot of drama going on?
- 6:57Speaker 8: So what exactly is going on?
- 6:58Speaker 3: Now?
- 6:59Speaker 1: Okay?
- 7:00Speaker 8: I don't see.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Give me having marital issues. It looks like they're not
- 7:06Speaker 1: living together. It looks like they're not talking, they're not
- 7:08Speaker 1: around each other, and what that marriage you to? Ever
- 7:12Speaker 1: before daughter and little Scrappy's daughter went on Instagram and said,
- 7:19Speaker 1: don't tag me around and talk to me about that
- 7:22Speaker 1: lady talking about Bam Bam did a post said looking
- 7:25Speaker 1: like that lady with the hard eyes emoji, so they
- 7:28Speaker 1: would thrown shade at each other and everybody just started commenting,
- 7:31Speaker 1: what you guys think.
- 7:32Speaker 8: I think just sounded like some love and hip hop storylines.
- 7:34Speaker 1: It was like a storyline.
- 7:36Speaker 6: I don't want to believe that they would bring the
- 7:38Speaker 6: kids into it, even though you know, Scrap's oldest daughter
- 7:41Speaker 6: is eighteen. Now I would hope that they're not doing
- 7:44Speaker 6: it for that, but I don't think it's cool to
- 7:48Speaker 6: start talking about kids. And now because you are getting
- 7:52Speaker 6: a divorce, you want to be.
- 7:53Speaker 4: Like I was holding your secret.
- 7:54Speaker 6: Your daughter was telling me that you was whooping her ass,
- 7:57Speaker 6: Like don't hold on to that, Like still hold on
- 7:59Speaker 6: to that, don't put it out now.
- 8:02Speaker 4: So I don't want to see it. I hate it.
- 8:04Speaker 5: I don't you married?
- 8:06Speaker 1: Yes, I am married. Happily married.
- 8:09Speaker 8: You're against marriage. It sounds like because you said it's the.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Devil, I ain't meaning like I ain't gonna cap though,
- 8:15Speaker 1: Like I ain't trying to get all deep. This is
- 8:16Speaker 1: the first woman I never cheated on, though, I feel
- 8:19Speaker 1: like I found my.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Person that's gonna be making good.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Way how long I've been married for three years. I
- 8:26Speaker 1: never felt this way about a female before. Before that,
- 8:29Speaker 1: I was what you said, knock this shit down.
- 8:31Speaker 6: I mean, you're not against a connection or relationship. I
- 8:35Speaker 6: think he's just saying like you don't want to legally
- 8:37Speaker 6: be married and like deal with all.
- 8:39Speaker 7: I just feel like like putting stuff on paper and
- 8:41Speaker 7: putting like the court in your business is a bit
- 8:43Speaker 7: too much from like a personal relationship. That's just how
- 8:46Speaker 7: I personally feel, because you know, something go wrong. I
- 8:51Speaker 7: just feel like this is not their business, like the state.
- 8:53Speaker 7: And that's just how I feel personally. But I'm gonna
- 8:57Speaker 7: be honest. Man, every married couple I know they not
- 9:00Speaker 7: they like not happy. You. You probably one of the
- 9:03Speaker 7: first that didn't tell you because they hang around your time.
- 9:05Speaker 7: Actually you probably wanted the first. Like how that it's
- 9:07Speaker 7: a small percentage they really say like they happy or
- 9:10Speaker 7: what not. On the real my parents be married.
- 9:14Speaker 3: The man they're still married, but they need a TV
- 9:17Speaker 3: show if y'all hear the conversations.
- 9:20Speaker 5: Man, I just got.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Hired at Warner Records, so Chopper is the main artist there,
- 9:25Speaker 1: and I've been paying attention to him. My first gig
- 9:27Speaker 1: was the Memphis Uh and I saw Mama Chop she lit.
- 9:32Speaker 1: By the way, Yes, I met your dad and I
- 9:35Speaker 1: didn't know that they both managed you. So your dad's
- 9:37Speaker 1: your role manager, your mom's your manager. That's dope. That's
- 9:40Speaker 1: like lit though, But I know it's a lot of
- 9:42Speaker 1: communication that has to go on in the house. Yeah,
- 9:45Speaker 1: so they probably the only ones that can deal with
- 9:46Speaker 1: you pretty much.
- 9:47Speaker 7: In the beginning, I wasn't couldn't nobody to deal with.
- 9:51Speaker 7: I used to snap on people because people. But I'm
- 9:54Speaker 7: way more like settle and come now. So yeah, they
- 9:58Speaker 7: pretty much they deal with me. But I'm more manageable
- 10:01Speaker 7: now for sure.
- 10:02Speaker 8: But to bring it back to marriage, you have an example.
- 10:05Speaker 7: They lasting, but you know it's a difference from like
- 10:09Speaker 7: last thing and like last thing and like being happy
- 10:15Speaker 7: with if that makes sense.
- 10:17Speaker 6: Do you believe that you know you could you can't
- 10:20Speaker 6: be happy with somebody for x amount of time, but
- 10:22Speaker 6: then your energy just goes a different way and it's like,
- 10:24Speaker 6: you know what, Yeah we had a great two, three, five,
- 10:28Speaker 6: six years, but my.
- 10:29Speaker 4: Energy is changing. Your energy is changing, and now it's
- 10:32Speaker 4: time to move on to the next.
- 10:33Speaker 7: I mean, it just it just depends on how much
- 10:35Speaker 7: the person evolve. Like I'm the type of person there's
- 10:38Speaker 7: something about look in the mirror and I see your flow.
- 10:40Speaker 7: It's something I'm trying to better about myself. And I
- 10:43Speaker 7: had a problem with with being in in relationships with
- 10:46Speaker 7: people that's not the same, that's not you know, comfortable
- 10:50Speaker 7: with evolving. It's scared of change. So I've always outgrew
- 10:54Speaker 7: the person I was, you know, being with or whatnot.
- 10:56Speaker 7: And like the course of a year. Yeah, I'm never
- 11:00Speaker 7: had a relationship that went longer than a year. So
- 11:04Speaker 7: and it's just because I always want to grow and
- 11:06Speaker 7: I always want to fix myself and maybe God grooming
- 11:08Speaker 7: me to meet someone that I could say, ah, they'm
- 11:11Speaker 7: my person, but still, you know, still then I just
- 11:14Speaker 7: feel like it ain't temporary in life, you know what
- 11:17Speaker 7: I'm saying. I feel like we meet people, you know,
- 11:19Speaker 7: and this either we learned something from him, and sometimes
- 11:22Speaker 7: I feel like, you know, it's not for us to
- 11:24Speaker 7: just take a heat and like make him like a property.
- 11:27Speaker 7: And I always go like to this saying it was
- 11:30Speaker 7: his dude, he put, I can't remember who said it.
- 11:33Speaker 7: I don't mean to take too much time on the subject,
- 11:35Speaker 7: but it was like it was like one day he'd
- 11:38Speaker 7: seen this butterfly and it was like a story, and
- 11:42Speaker 7: he's seen a butterfly and it was so beautiful, like
- 11:45Speaker 7: the most the most beautiful butterfly.
- 11:47Speaker 5: He ever seen.
- 11:48Speaker 7: And he said he was chasing it, trying to catch
- 11:50Speaker 7: it to keep it to himself, and as he was
- 11:53Speaker 7: chasing it, he jumped to his neighbor fence, still chasing
- 11:56Speaker 7: out there. His neighbor had a garden full of beautiful flowers,
- 12:00Speaker 7: so he was stumping on the flowers. He fucked up
- 12:02Speaker 7: all the flowers trying to get it, and when he
- 12:04Speaker 7: finally got the butterfly, he killed it. So not only
- 12:09Speaker 7: did he kill the butterfly, but he fucked up like
- 12:11Speaker 7: his neighbor was guarding it. So he messed up there
- 12:14Speaker 7: and he messed up the world around him. Yeah, so
- 12:18Speaker 7: I kind of feel like that's how it is with relationships.
- 12:21Speaker 7: I feel like we get with people to learn something
- 12:23Speaker 7: from them and just carry on the life experience more
- 12:30Speaker 7: so than just like making a person that experience, if
- 12:35Speaker 7: that makes sense. But that's how that's just that's how
- 12:38Speaker 7: I feel. And other people different though, and other people
- 12:40Speaker 7: have different journeys. And that's why that's why the perspectives
- 12:44Speaker 7: is so beautiful and it's artistic to me because the
- 12:47Speaker 7: same way you have you something with marriage could be
- 12:49Speaker 7: the same way I view something. And what works for
- 12:52Speaker 7: him may not work for me. And I feel like
- 12:54Speaker 7: that's the beauty of like humanity. And I like that
- 12:58Speaker 7: story too. That was a dope story.
- 13:00Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick commercial, but when we
- 13:01Speaker 1: come back, we can get all in NL choppers business
- 13:04Speaker 1: right here.

- 16:57Speaker 7: kept me off the court and I just I just
- 17:00Speaker 7: wasn't My behavior was just do.
- 17:02Speaker 1: You feel like that's is a product of your environment?
- 17:05Speaker 7: It's the Memphis Yeah, because I feel like like I
- 17:08Speaker 7: had I had, My life was pretty much like made
- 17:10Speaker 7: for me.
- 17:11Speaker 5: My mama she was a business owner. My pops he worked.
- 17:14Speaker 5: I had both my parents. They really want no.
- 17:16Speaker 7: Reason for me to go down around I did, but
- 17:19Speaker 7: I was always type personally. I ain't never like to
- 17:21Speaker 7: ask my parents for nothing, and then they wouldn't give
- 17:25Speaker 7: it to me anyway because I was bad. So like
- 17:27Speaker 7: you know, I had to earn anything. I had two brothers.
- 17:31Speaker 7: I got two brothers and one sister than you. Yeah,
- 17:34Speaker 7: I'm the youngest.
- 17:35Speaker 8: Okay, So did you get like influence from them?
- 17:37Speaker 5: While Nah, they were scared to do anything I was doing.
- 17:41Speaker 1: He was the bad You're not bad.
- 17:44Speaker 7: I was the protector too, so like even they was
- 17:47Speaker 7: older than me, I always like I was protecting them
- 17:50Speaker 7: or like if if they didn't, if they you know
- 17:53Speaker 7: what I'm saying, they can hold their own. But I
- 17:55Speaker 7: was more so like I'm a big brother, like you
- 17:57Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. You know, I was the youngest,
- 17:59Speaker 7: smallest whatever, But I just always had the initial about me.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Okay. I want to fast forward to when the music
- 18:06Speaker 1: is popping you lit? Now, how has life changed for you?
- 18:10Speaker 1: Because you in Memphis, you started making money. You know,
- 18:13Speaker 1: you have people like Dolph came from Memphis. You got
- 18:16Speaker 1: Yo Gotti come from Memphis, Gloriala from Memphis, black Youngster,
- 18:20Speaker 1: you got all these big names from Memphis. How is
- 18:23Speaker 1: it for you? When you go to Memphis, like being
- 18:26Speaker 1: from there but also being a very successful artist, because
- 18:29Speaker 1: it's difficult.
- 18:30Speaker 7: It's it's not difficult because now I know how to
- 18:34Speaker 7: stay out the way and just stay in the crib
- 18:37Speaker 7: and point A, point B and don't go to point C.
- 18:41Speaker 5: So you be in Memphis. Yeah, I still live in Memphis.
- 18:45Speaker 1: I still live in Memphis, but because I hear they
- 18:47Speaker 1: artists tend on me out of Memphis.
- 18:50Speaker 7: They move out, and I'm planning on moving, but I
- 18:53Speaker 7: stay in Memphis out the simple fact of I like
- 18:56Speaker 7: to be in tune with my city to know where
- 18:58Speaker 7: I need to change. So I feel like if I'm
- 19:00Speaker 7: out of the loop, I don't know what the city need.
- 19:03Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. I know that we need
- 19:05Speaker 7: more people to tap into the youth, so I hold
- 19:08Speaker 7: events to make sure I'm talking to the kids about violence,
- 19:11Speaker 7: cart thems, all type things. I know that we need
- 19:14Speaker 7: kids that stop the Crown Way, make the Crown Way
- 19:18Speaker 7: go down. So I make sure I make reading challenges
- 19:20Speaker 7: and pop up at the schools and do charitable work.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I can't really began schools. I see you do high
- 19:25Speaker 1: school school every tours everywhere in the country.
- 19:28Speaker 7: Yeah, I can't really do that if I'm not in
- 19:30Speaker 7: the city. You know, I provide vegan food for the city.
- 19:33Speaker 7: So vegan vegan long you've been vegan?
- 19:37Speaker 1: Why why did you?
- 19:39Speaker 5: Just because it's just helded my mind by the end
- 19:40Speaker 5: my soul.
- 19:41Speaker 1: Like someone influenced you.
- 19:42Speaker 6: Because it's interesting though, because it was like at the
- 19:44Speaker 6: rise of your career, like you said that at around
- 19:47Speaker 6: sixteen you started to get this buzz and then at
- 19:49Speaker 6: around seventeen you went into veganism.
- 19:52Speaker 4: Now, like stay in the.
- 19:53Speaker 6: Memphis So I feel like a lot of people in
- 19:55Speaker 6: hip hop it's hard for them to go home and
- 19:58Speaker 6: stay home because is although you do get a lot
- 20:01Speaker 6: of love, there are people that are mad at you
- 20:04Speaker 6: for maybe because they want to be in your shoes.
- 20:07Speaker 6: Do you feel any negativity in Memphis?
- 20:11Speaker 7: I feel it, but I'm so far from it, Like
- 20:14Speaker 7: I'm extremely far from and I'm always real close to
- 20:17Speaker 7: love and far away from hate, you know, especially.
- 20:20Speaker 8: What happened to Dolph. Yeah, yeah, when that happened, how
- 20:23Speaker 8: did you feel?
- 20:26Speaker 7: What's crazy is I'm so in tune spiritually. The morning
- 20:30Speaker 7: when it happened, I woke up and the dream I
- 20:34Speaker 7: had was like I had this dream of dolphins.
- 20:36Speaker 5: It was in the water.
- 20:37Speaker 7: I was I was swimming with some dolphins. And I
- 20:40Speaker 7: know that God always send messages through my dreams. But
- 20:43Speaker 7: it's so crazy how how much his passing was so
- 20:47Speaker 7: spiritual to Memphis. That Memphis even had a small earthquake
- 20:51Speaker 7: that day. A lot of people don't know that it's
- 20:52Speaker 7: all seen up. There was a small earthquake that theay
- 20:55Speaker 7: that dog died. So it's always a lot of spiritual
- 20:57Speaker 7: things that happen. I get my siens. I know if
- 21:00Speaker 7: I'm in danger. I know if I need to move,
- 21:02Speaker 7: but i'd be at peace. I drive my window down
- 21:06Speaker 7: sometimes like I feel good and I know when danger
- 21:09Speaker 7: is there.
- 21:10Speaker 5: I can feel it.
- 21:11Speaker 7: I get signs like I'm guided and protected way beyond
- 21:14Speaker 7: what a gun can bring, what a bulletproof truck can bring.
- 21:18Speaker 7: Like I'm real touch by God. So I don't really
- 21:20Speaker 7: be tripping, and I don't see it in no cocky sense.
- 21:23Speaker 7: I just know I'm real close to love, far away
- 21:25Speaker 7: from hate. If I see it is only online now.
- 21:28Speaker 7: I saw you as a father, I saw you your
- 21:31Speaker 7: daughter one time. For that, How is it chopping because
- 21:33Speaker 7: you're a young father man, Like it's not, that's not it. Yeah,
- 21:37Speaker 7: when did you become a father?
- 21:39Speaker 1: Eighteen eighteen? That's a lot of responsibility, and you have
- 21:44Speaker 1: a lot of responsibilities at such a young age. Man,
- 21:46Speaker 1: how is it Foraly Chopper?
- 21:48Speaker 5: The dad man? It's beautiful.
- 21:50Speaker 1: I ain't say how she interacts with you. She obviously
- 21:53Speaker 1: loves her dad.
- 21:54Speaker 7: I love being a father. It's what got me sparked,
- 21:57Speaker 7: you know, on change. It's what made me become the
- 22:00Speaker 7: man I am. You know, I knew if I was
- 22:02Speaker 7: gonna have a son, I was really gonna be like
- 22:04Speaker 7: the same person, gun heavy, smoking thirty.
- 22:08Speaker 5: Niggas around me.
- 22:09Speaker 7: But she made me realize I can have thirty niggas
- 22:11Speaker 7: around I can't be smoking all the marijuana around her.
- 22:14Speaker 7: I can't be doing all this child and ship. She
- 22:16Speaker 7: made me grow up because she's a girl and I
- 22:18Speaker 7: wanted her to be. I want to like whenever she
- 22:21Speaker 7: start to deal with me and in her future, she
- 22:23Speaker 7: know what a man is, she know how to be treated.
- 22:25Speaker 7: So you know, I had to clean up a lot
- 22:28Speaker 7: for her. And it's it's plush, you know, it's plush things.
- 22:35Speaker 8: Maybe from the relationship that you had that went public.
- 22:38Speaker 3: No, no, no, but you gotta you gotta you expecting
- 22:41Speaker 3: another child with her right, not with the with the one.
- 22:44Speaker 3: She's somebody you're your past relationship. Yeah, yeah, y'all having
- 22:48Speaker 3: a baby. Yeah, I have a son on the way.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Oh congratulations, I had having a son?
- 22:55Speaker 1: Okay, got okay?
- 22:57Speaker 8: So how how how did that work out?
- 22:59Speaker 9: I know that record was. She took that really hard.
- 23:02Speaker 9: How did that, you know, go from that to y'all
- 23:04Speaker 9: expecting the son?
- 23:05Speaker 3: Now?
- 23:07Speaker 7: So previously she had she had a miscarriage when we
- 23:11Speaker 7: was you know, in the process of conceiving, when she
- 23:17Speaker 7: was in the process of conceiving. You know, she's always
- 23:19Speaker 7: had miscarriages. Not to put a business out, but it's
- 23:23Speaker 7: one of those things that I was always trying to,
- 23:25Speaker 7: you know, just keep her head up about and just you.
- 23:28Speaker 5: Know, keep up, keep up.
- 23:30Speaker 7: Spirit high, Yeah, spirit high, knowing that she was high risk,
- 23:33Speaker 7: and you know, something's happened, and it happened again. I
- 23:38Speaker 7: think it was like damn, They're like I don't got
- 23:41Speaker 7: to say how many times, but it's been quite a
- 23:42Speaker 7: few times. And when that happened, I've always felt like
- 23:47Speaker 7: it wasn't my fault in them. It was just you know,
- 23:50Speaker 7: just God willing you know what I'm saying. But I
- 23:52Speaker 7: always felt like I owed her something, And even moving forward,
- 23:58Speaker 7: I knew I was growing, and I knew where I
- 24:01Speaker 7: was heading, and I knew I was heading to the
- 24:03Speaker 7: point of me not wanting to be around a person
- 24:06Speaker 7: relationship wise. I just wanted to be, you know, in
- 24:08Speaker 7: my own vibe single pretty much. But I felt like
- 24:12Speaker 7: I kind of left at a dead end if I
- 24:15Speaker 7: didn't like provide her something. At least there was a
- 24:18Speaker 7: piece of me knowing like what you've been through and
- 24:20Speaker 7: what she been going through. So you know, she brought
- 24:23Speaker 7: to my attention to IVYF thing and I kind of
- 24:27Speaker 7: you know, paid for the IVYF.
- 24:28Speaker 5: Stuff to get it done and.
- 24:31Speaker 7: And just let her know, like you know, that was
- 24:32Speaker 7: pretty much like me just saying like I know that
- 24:35Speaker 7: I'm heading this way, but yeah, like on a sense,
- 24:40Speaker 7: and I was like, even though I probably can't give
- 24:42Speaker 7: you be a best man for you relationship wise, I
- 24:46Speaker 7: hope that you can see a part of me in
- 24:48Speaker 7: the innocence of my son eyes and just knowing like
- 24:51Speaker 7: I probably can't provide, you know, just the best relationship,
- 24:54Speaker 7: but I could be the best father for sure.
- 24:56Speaker 1: But y'all can be locked in with life. When's to
- 24:58Speaker 1: do When's to do that?
- 25:00Speaker 5: So it was around like I think it's around Augustus.
- 25:02Speaker 8: Okay, this is gonna happened after the breakup.
- 25:05Speaker 5: Yeah, after the breakup. Okay, Yeah, Now.
- 25:08Speaker 6: That tells me it was a real like spiritual connection.
- 25:10Speaker 6: I think, like the more that I'm hearing you talk,
- 25:12Speaker 6: I'm just realizing that you are super spiritual.
- 25:15Speaker 4: I think people will.
- 25:16Speaker 6: Assume, you know, the average hip hop artists don't really
- 25:20Speaker 6: care about. Nobody's super selfish, but something I can imagine.
- 25:26Speaker 6: But it just sounds like you do move in love, and.
- 25:32Speaker 7: I think, yeah, they try to. People try to, you know,
- 25:37Speaker 7: we move in love so much. People try to bring
- 25:39Speaker 7: hate to you. Yeah, well, you know, I think sometimes
- 25:42Speaker 7: people kind of get side check of the love you
- 25:46Speaker 7: have shown because like one bad come. But I always
- 25:50Speaker 7: try to make sure my good way my bad or
- 25:52Speaker 7: my love, wait my hate.
- 25:53Speaker 11: We'll be right back. Stay tuned with more of the

- 26:51Speaker 5: Come like that?
- 26:52Speaker 7: But but yeah, it was pretty much we was in
- 26:56Speaker 7: the moment of just having fun, you know, enjoining ourselves
- 26:59Speaker 7: in the present moment. And she ran on all fours, yeah,
- 27:02Speaker 7: Red through the Alleyut I'm snitching on Red.
- 27:05Speaker 5: She'll tell you right now. She threw the all of you. No,
- 27:08Speaker 5: but she was.
- 27:09Speaker 7: She was originally like on her knees, performing towards the camera.
- 27:12Speaker 7: Then she got on her paws, and then she poured
- 27:16Speaker 7: her hair and said you should hold my hair, and
- 27:19Speaker 7: I kind of helped her, and then it just looked
- 27:22Speaker 7: like I was holding the dog, and like it just went.
- 27:25Speaker 1: From that point on.
- 27:26Speaker 5: She told Suki get down to and I'm like, and
- 27:29Speaker 5: then I grabbed that one and that's what it was.
- 27:32Speaker 1: It went on every damn Blonge.
- 27:33Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
- 27:34Speaker 7: Everywhere, and I got I got flying, I got flying
- 27:36Speaker 7: there for it. I can't handle that though, because you know,
- 27:40Speaker 7: I was sad as fun like the first three days.
- 27:42Speaker 7: I was sad three days because I felt I felt
- 27:46Speaker 7: it was misinterpreted and I felt like I love women
- 27:49Speaker 7: too much to be you know, labeled as someone who
- 27:52Speaker 7: degraded women, you know what I'm saying, even going back
- 27:54Speaker 7: to having being a father.
- 27:55Speaker 5: I have a father, so I know, and I felt guilty.
- 27:59Speaker 7: I took account ability as well, because I'm like, okay,
- 28:02Speaker 7: like even though I don't I know my intentions, all
- 28:06Speaker 7: the women is on my head about it.
- 28:07Speaker 5: They right, you know what I'm saying.
- 28:08Speaker 7: They had their reasons, and I was like, probably a
- 28:11Speaker 7: sense of me should have said, okay, this ain't right,
- 28:14Speaker 7: but you know, you in the moment, you're trying to
- 28:16Speaker 7: create the best content and you having fun and that's
- 28:19Speaker 7: just how it is and you don't really think of it.
- 28:21Speaker 5: But I'm thankful for the situation.
- 28:24Speaker 7: I take accountability because next time, if it's something that
- 28:27Speaker 7: I feel is too much, like I know, like okay.
- 28:30Speaker 5: Nah, we ain't doing it, or we ain't doing this
- 28:33Speaker 5: or whatnot.
- 28:33Speaker 3: But people don't understand you young too, man, So there's
- 28:36Speaker 3: a lot of mistakes that you're gonna make in you know,
- 28:38Speaker 3: the internet is just a weird place anyways, because you
- 28:40Speaker 3: can't you can't do anything.
- 28:42Speaker 2: They wait on it.
- 28:43Speaker 5: They waiting on it.
- 28:44Speaker 7: And I feel like the thing of the nature that
- 28:46Speaker 7: that made me mad. On the flip side of me
- 28:48Speaker 7: being understanding it was also a side of me that
- 28:52Speaker 7: it was like, Yo, I've.
- 28:54Speaker 5: Seen people the gray women in real life.
- 28:56Speaker 7: I mean like I've seen I've seen I've seen certain
- 28:59Speaker 7: artists whooped somebody as women as I've seen, not even artists,
- 29:04Speaker 7: I've seen clips of women can be like I've seen
- 29:08Speaker 7: the sexuals assaults not in person, because if I would,
- 29:11Speaker 7: I'll fuck up whoever doing it.
- 29:12Speaker 5: I promise I would. I don't even play like that.
- 29:16Speaker 7: And I feel like when they was coming to me
- 29:18Speaker 7: like that, it was assassinate my character because I whooped
- 29:21Speaker 7: the shit out of anybody.
- 29:22Speaker 5: That degraded women around me, like on a real level,
- 29:26Speaker 5: you know what I'm.
- 29:26Speaker 6: Saying, But you know, I respect that, but also too,
- 29:29Speaker 6: like some people like to be degraded in sex, and
- 29:32Speaker 6: I feel like it was like in theme, right, Like
- 29:36Speaker 6: I get some people don't want to put things in public,
- 29:38Speaker 6: and then they're also concerned about what their kids are seeing,
- 29:41Speaker 6: how they're being inspired. But it's almost one of those
- 29:43Speaker 6: things where it's like it was a learned lesson for you.
- 29:46Speaker 4: Like you said, like the.
- 29:48Speaker 6: Women invited it, they're the ones that asked you to
- 29:50Speaker 6: do it. Of course you had a choice whether you're
- 29:52Speaker 6: going to do it or not, but like you said,
- 29:54Speaker 6: you were in the moment and it just happened.
- 29:56Speaker 7: And let's also bring to the forefront how people be
- 29:58Speaker 7: putting their kids on leashes. Let's not let's not forget.
- 30:01Speaker 11: That I've been seeing y'all god.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Having a mother. Focus on the.
- 30:08Speaker 5: Least this conversation too.

- 30:25Speaker 12: but life is not what's made made of what life was.
- 30:32Speaker 5: There was like one of the five times I've ever

- 33:16Speaker 10: A PEP talk.
- 33:17Speaker 7: Was in La trouble. I want to give you all
- 33:19Speaker 7: the PEP talk. First and foremost is three rules I
- 33:22Speaker 7: live by to be successful. First one is keeping God first,
- 33:26Speaker 7: staying he did in prayer and just knowing that I'm
- 33:29Speaker 7: not the one that control.
- 33:32Speaker 5: I'm surrendered to the most High every day I wait.
- 33:35Speaker 7: Secondly, having discipline, you know, focusing on the goal, working
- 33:38Speaker 7: towards daily and staying grounded throughout the process to achieve it.
- 33:42Speaker 7: And thirdly, having faith because with faith comes patience. If
- 33:47Speaker 7: you're not patience, you won't have faith. And those are
- 33:52Speaker 7: the three things I live by God, discipline, and faith.
- 33:57Speaker 7: Then on the flip side, it's five things that got
- 34:00Speaker 7: me enlightened to the mindset i'm in now. First one
- 34:05Speaker 7: was prayer, second one with meditation, The third one was
- 34:10Speaker 7: switching my diet, fourth one was stopping drug usage, and
- 34:14Speaker 7: the fifth one was changing who I hung around, so
- 34:17Speaker 7: I prayed those eight things although to eight gyms I
