  Speaker 1: in your SX deal and how much you and how
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: much you increase the amount of cases that they sold
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: once you signed on with Essex. So that's good for you.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I guess you figure you have a bit of a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: stake in this now, so most definitely I'm an owner partner,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and like the brand has been around for seven years,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: so uh, just my involvement in this this year Loan
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is like increased it way further than projections were. And
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: it's just, uh, you know, it's smart and I really
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: love it in actuality for me, you know, because like
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I say, bottoms up two reasons like drinking anthems, I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: make those all day. So when the opportunity came along
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to coincide with the brand, it just made sense. And
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: if you look at you, look at you, look at
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the bottle, you see what's happening. Right, there's actually a
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: woman's body really yeah, like if Angie stood up and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: cross the legs like so well, you know, but that
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is actually Charlotagne's color of his skin. That's the cafe
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: R more clear. You're not clear? Right? The Negro you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: used to be that cleaned up a little bit DERMATI
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: just scrimped the toast off a little bit. Why do
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you have a drink called negro? It's called negro actually
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: actually Spanish from black, same difference. It's just ignorant to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: think that I did that drink keeping it. I made
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a drink for my people people. I went straight in
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and I wrote Negro in white now before you walked in.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Charlotage's disappointed. He said, Trade's been staying out of the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: headlines a lot lately. What's going on? What can we
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: make up about trades guy? Though? I mean, I'm in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the headlines for what for music? You know, for the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: for the most part, that's that's what I do. That's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: my profession. I think, Uh, it's been it's been a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: good ten years for me trying to stay out, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: out of the out of the the way of negativity. I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: think a lot of I got a lot of my
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: negativity and a lot of crazy videos and people, you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: before the phenomenon of Instagram and all of that came along,

• 4:50
  Speaker 1: was it was dope. You know, we had we had
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of things, uh, you know, I'm playing for
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a couple cancelations, uh and like pushed back. But all together,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: if you look at the entirety of what it was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and the amount of money we gross that. You look
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: at the fans experience and uh, how we were able
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to get through it without any complications. We still friends,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: you know, because touring and money and all of that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: can't get in the way of friendships and business and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and blood kind of don't make sometimes. But it was
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a blessing. We was able to get through that and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: still be successful, still be friends, and you know, the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: possibility is actually there even for more to happen again
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: because it was a fruitful, you know, I thing as
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a friend. Do you ever have to tell him like
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Chris the money bro, Like come on, I mean I've
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: had many conversations with him about you know, the money,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: about you know, his personal well being all that, But
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you know what Chris got going on, Chris, Chris got
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, no matter who talked to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: him all that. And I think it's beautiful man, that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he's just being a father in his daughter life, right. Yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it's it's dope. Uh, it's it's I pray for Chris.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I pray for all my friends, you know, and I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: think he under a lot of scrutiny and it's very
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: It's the difference between me and Chris. I tell people
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: all the time, Like Chris was fifteen when we started.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I was. I was twenty, you know, so I was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it was different than Chris went straight up the pop charts.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It took me a cool four years to even see
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: an amount of sex success he had. Initially I was
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: trying to say, I guess you know, it's just Chris
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was having so much sex. No, so you know, for me,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I was already you know, a man per se. You know,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: when this happened, and the slower escalation of success, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it got me the chance to wrap my mind around
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: what it is. You know. But when you you actually
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: becoming a person and figuring out who you are in
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: front of people, and then you have something, you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: crazy happening in your life, and you know, people build
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you all the way up to try to tell you down.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I can only imagine what it's like. Have you called
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the daddy bag yet? Man? I want kids, man, I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: mean I've been one children before, like you could even imagine,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Like I raised all these kids in my family, Like, uh,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you know, my younger brother, he's twenty years old, he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: just had his first child. You know what, I remember
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: when he was a child, you know, like I used
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to burt him change his diapers, so now he got
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a baby. Like, so let's take the condomal. Nah, I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: don't think it's that simple. Like for me, you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: no problem. But I tell you things at risk, you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: just want to take condom? That sounds a little crazy.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: It's more to it than that. I would like to believe. No,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: but I want kids, I want a family all that, man.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not in the rush to do
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it because people think that's what it should be happening
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in my life, or that I need kids, or that
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: my mom had been begging me for a grand baby,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: or you know, any of that. I just want to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: make sure that it's the right decision. That's important. You
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: say that because a lot of girls think that only
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: happens to them because they get older. People like, oh,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you gotta have baby now, you gotta have a family,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and everybody, dude, my whole family every time I come home.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Now I got a nephew. So it's definitely don't want
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to have a baby like six months from now, Like
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they're trying to figure it out so when. But I'm
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: sure they're very concerned about who you have a baby
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: with no. Actually they're not too much at this point.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: So like I just actually talking about it earlier. My friend, Um,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I remember a couple of years ago actually, like I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: had to go take a couple of tests, a couple Yeah,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I mean I actually didn't know these people like that.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I had like this type of stuff I keep out
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the meeting. You know what I'm saying. Uh, girls not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: got twittered in. That's one good tweet. It was. It
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was like a couple of accusations throughout my career. It's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: happened a few times, but it's it's so fraudulent that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: it don't even make it. You still keep taking the test. No,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you take it. You take it one time and it's cool. Yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: But I remember, like my mama went with me. I'm like, Mom,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it's cool, Like I don't know this girl like she like,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: but if it is yours, we gotta see it for
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the blessing it is and it's gonna be. No, it's not.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know who this person is. Can you counter
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to people for that? For taking you to court and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: making you take a time. By the time I do
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: all that, I spent more money, right, you know, then
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they got the offer the last your Tremaine? Is that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: your last album on your label? On this label? No,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I actually read up last year, so I got a
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: couple more. Yeah, I got three more albums. Now I resumeate.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I resumeate that you were planning to get married this summer.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Is that a rumor or? Yeah, it's definitely a rumor. Okay,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: just checking. Yeah stuff, If I was planning to get
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: married a song and should probably be pregnant. Yeah, if
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I knock you up, I might marry you know, I'm
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: just saying we did. Why not? Do you think that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: would hurt your image? Like if you was like married
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and wiped up with a baby, because you are the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: sex symbol out here. I mean that can only go
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: for so long, you know as a man, as a person. Uh,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I've for a long time, let you know, public perception
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and who I am, like my brand and be the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you know, be the leading force in my life, like
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: making decisions about women, about children, about all that. So
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I think about the point where I put in you know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: enough time was though I could go, you know, live
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: my life and my fans will still be happy, But
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I still I still think very seriously about doing it
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: for the right reasons and making sure it's the right
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: person and not getting caught up. You break so many
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: girls hearts. Plus the girl you did or wife up
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: could not have Twitter on Instagram because them girls online
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: would kill well. I don't know if you're aware, but
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I thought you did have a girlfriend. I don't have
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a girlfriend, but somebody that you consider special in your life, definitely.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, the only reason we're not we one of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the reasons just because of what you're saying, Like, it
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: takes a lot for people to deal with that. You know.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I know what it's like to be scrutiny to talk
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: crazy to online all day. But when when you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you take a picture with somebody and they just draw
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: their own conclusions and make life a living hell for
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a person, it just kind of deters them away from
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: what the real thing was. I think when you're trying
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to build with somebody and and uh trying to actually
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: become something special, you gotta kind of really figure out
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: what it is between the two of you before you
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: share it with the world. It's kind of hard when
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: people take pictures everywhere you go or you know, and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: people want to be appreciated, People want to be known
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that they love and you want to be shown, and uh,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it's just it's it's complicated, you know, But I'm trying
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. What about what guys when like
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: meet tweet out trades done, smashed every chicken the industry.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, just dry snitching on your meat, dry stitch
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: fifty to dry snitz, anybody dry snitch on your boy.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I'm anna scape go for these guys. But the help
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: or hurt because like I'm not gonna date you. You
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: smash everything. I mean, of course, don't nobody want to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: hear that, but uh, you know, I deal with it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: It's true and you did. You didn't give yourself to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Monica mister steal your girls, and you ain't helped the situation.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I mean I said it one time and it's been,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: it's been in the truth court. Still. One dude girl
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: with Travis Scott in Virginia, I don't know they said
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: he said, he said trade songs and then next thing,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of dudes and braid surrounding his
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: tour bus. That's crazy. How that kind of thing happens.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, how that kind of thing happens. I don't
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: really know nothing about it. Do you think that he
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: probably thought he could get away with that because trades
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: R and B. But he I mean, Travis Scott, I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: mean the next day he dm men apologize. I ain't
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: really tell nobody that. It ain't for nobody to know.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: But he ain't really mean that. He ain't. He ain't
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: that kind of guy like that. Why why say that
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: trad that's random f trade songs. I'm sure that's a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: lot of people feel like that. He just started saying
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: what was on his mind at the time, So it's
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: all good. The next girl, you didn't realize it though,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you know you did, you know him, I don't know why,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: but he could though. Now the bus gets surrounded, things changed.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Do you get us called though, like, hey brother, somebody, No,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I get all those calls, but I'm so far removed
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: from that man like people like still at this point
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: in my career associate me with R and B and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: women and all that. So somebody might try me or
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: think I'm sweet, and you know, I gotta kind of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: look to the side, or you know, I'm at the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: point where that don't matter anymore. You know what people say, insults,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it don't really do me any good to like, you know,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: say anything back or sending guys or any like what
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I'm anyway, though, Man, I ain't calling nobody. I heard
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you got beat up. Yeah that's what happened. Now. Have
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: you ever just taken a break to just sit back
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and enjoy the fruit to your label? Because you always man, listen,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I just said this the other day. I need a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: damn break. Man. I've been working real hard, but I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: love what I do though, you know, I love doing shows.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you because it looked like you
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: had fun when we seen you in Detroit. Look like
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you was really like you enjoyed it. I do bro
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: like it's nothing I'd rather do. And I remember coming
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: off stage in Detroit, and you know, like my first
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: album July twenty six, this year would be ten years.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: So I remember the first time I played the big
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: show at the show, first time I played a lot
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: of these shows that are like staple shows in cities
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and big shows. So when I go on stage now
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and I got my ban I got my production, I
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: got this, it's a whole lot different. But for me,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: like I always remember, because the same stage, the same
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: we're in the same dressing rooms, the same hallways on
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: things changed? Is my position in the time right? I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: wonder about that because I always, like I said, since
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: last year, how dope your show I'd gotten? And I
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: look at these bills. Sometimes I trade the biggest artists
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: on here. Well, I don't seem like heat. The headline goes,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I don't headline radio show. You don't pay me enough
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to do that. The headline radio show. You gotta be
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: there when traffic there. You gotta hold the expectation of
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a group of people that came to see a group
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: of people. When you head line of show and it's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: your show, you know you are the draw. You know,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I can't be the draw for a radio station unless
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you're given me your money, like a whole lot of
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: to close the show out, because people, no matter what
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: radio show, doors open like four or five, you've been
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: there all day, get to be eleven o'clock and the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: main act theme went on. You know, so even if
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: they want to see you, people got things through tomorrow,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: People got traffic, they gotta be, people got kids. So
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: now you they're in the arena leaving, so you're really
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the biggest act. But yeah, people leaving while you to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: be that now. I always say that Going on Last
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: isn't always all it's cracked up to be. It's not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: a radio show though, because it's a difference like it's
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: it's it's promoted to the radio station's fan base. So
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you're talking about people that are fans of all of
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: these artists, not one more so than the next. Did
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you ever imagine this when when you first started out
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to be this big ah man, I got dreams of
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: being way bigger we were yours one hundred a couple
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago, you're about to make that crossover move,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: which you yeah, he's probably about to do that pop
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: record man. I mean, you know the dope thing about
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: being on Z one hundred or having records, uh go
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: top for this, I don't. I don't make my records
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: with that in focus or in mind. Like I think,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: it's been so so ill, so much of a blessing
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: to be able to be me on the records and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, uh, they had a success that they do.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it's the fourth number one in the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: last year for me, so uh even and for me
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it feels like kind of quietly you know what I mean.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: But I'm just I'm just all about you know, making
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: sure that even at this point in my career, I'm
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: still thriving for the best me, still thriving to be
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: better than I was yesterday, to make records that are
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: real to me, to make records that my fans can
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: relate to even this at this point. What about acting,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I know you put your foot in there or something.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: You know, I love acting, man, But like this year
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: has been so busy, It's been a lot of opportunities
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that I've actually missed, like do the touring unavailability. Uh,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: But I definitely want to make sure that I don't
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: leave that world for too long, because you know, you
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: gotta stay present and within that that mindset as a
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: as a creative person to make sure you're actually good
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: at it. You take too much time away from something,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: and you know you got to start all the way
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: over with your classes, with your actual presence and awareness.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: But I love Academy dream role or director or somebody
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: you want to work just a comedic, uh, a comedy
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: romantic joint. I can say I want to be an
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: action guy too, Like I want to jump over cars
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and shoot guns and you know, save the girl. I
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: want to do to your old life on screen. Let's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you always want to bring up you wanna relive your
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: old life on screen? Jump over cars, shoot guns. Roles
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: have been out there that we probably know of that
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that you could have had. Um like uh, I won't
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: say the roles, but just uh the films in particularly
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: the barber Shop, the shooting right now, like being able
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to even not sit down with Cube but not you know,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: being overseas. Uh, you know you get back and that's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: in full production. Uh, it's it's a couple of others
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: as well. But you've done Empire. Uh yeah, I actually
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: would you know, uh, depending on what the role consists of.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I do Empire as trade songs
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: because that doesn't really do anything for me as a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: as an actor. You know, it probably increased my brand
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: within that space to those Fox viewers that aren't really
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: aware of what's up, but at the same time, like
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I probably would want something a little better. That's all
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on the Charleston shooting. Do you believe the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: answer to hate it simply just to spread love? Like
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you said, I think, man, if you look at the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: course of America's history, it's been you know, things getting
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: shaken up that create change, whether it's done violently non violently.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: H it's been the speaking about it. It's been the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: gathering of people to say that we have to have
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: change of a certain sort. Uh. And I think it's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: just a little devastation that these things are happening now
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and it's being you know, swept under the rug was though,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: where you know, a young man gets arrested and shut
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: up and they bring up his negative paths, they call
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: him the you know gangster this but you know boy
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: going to church and shooting now people and they're talking
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: about it's broken home and you know his mental condition,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: but you know it's mental condition for people that's in
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: urban environments too. That never we never get notoriety for that.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: We never get that. We never get the the and
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: it's the star after you've done something crazy, like they
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: make a note to point out the problems for a
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: person who right, we just does and gangsters and uh,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it's just it's sad. And like when when the Charleston
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: thing happened, I really because I know Charleston, you know,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I'm from Virginia. I haven't been through that a lot
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: of times. So it just when it when it happened.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I literally was like, I'm not surprised because I think
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: that anything happened in America nowadays, anything in the world.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: You see more devastating things happen all over that we
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and the most the best country. We love our country,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you know. But at the same time, I was really like, wow,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't really have no words, Like it took me
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: probably it took me a while to put that tweet together,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: like to even gather my words to be encouraging, because
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: you want you want to tell people to pray, but
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: people getting killed in church. You want to tell people
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: to have hope. But the people that's trying to be
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the most positive about life, that people and he even
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: was said they were so nice they you want to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: kill him? Like how you how you even say that?
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: You know? So Like for me, it's just how do
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you bring your mind to uplift people in a time
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: like this? And the only thing that you can really
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: do is is spread love, because you when you can't
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: change something, to have a hate inside you boiling up
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and hate against hate, it's only gonna create more hate. Um,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: so we just got to create awareness. And uh, you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I have people showing love to one another and in
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: more ways than we have been. We appreciate you joining us.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Oh we finished it. I've seen a headline that said up.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: And he tried to give me what you gotta do,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: what you got to do? Looking at he said, all right,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: so oh you know what. I know what it is.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Amby has an issue with you because of his wife.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Don't what don't? I did not. I didn't look at her?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Crazy he did? He did look at your wife? Remember that? Yeah?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Remember that. She try to look back though, but it
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: was just playful. I remember that you thought she was
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: an artist? Yeah, I was like, who is that? Every
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: tidy to cut the definite? I was like, who your interview?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: And she gave me a little look back. You know
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Probably for all the dirty and just
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: a little, just a little quick joke. It can happen,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: like look, boy, better, she's not allowed to take it
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: is good? Now you're gonna make me a fantasy. You
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: better better? But you're right, you want to post the boy,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: but don't leave your girl around me. How much of
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that reputation is true at this point? All the older?
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, the thing is the thing is when when
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I actually said that on the recommend Uh, it was
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: a joke, like I was playing around. That was before
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: the record was even like bottoms up before before no,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: but listen, before the song was even written, I said
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: that like Joe's mistake, so like the actual happening and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of it. At this time in my life, I ain't
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: really trying to take nobody girl. The thing is, when
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I mean women nine times out of town, I don't
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: know nothing about the man, you know, so uh, it
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: ain't like you leaving and you go to the bathroom
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: and I pop up and take It's not like you
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, literally still your girls, strong on
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: your joint, Like, what's up? Give me that. It's not that. Uh,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: it's just over over the years, I definitely have found
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: out a lot about about a lot of women's men
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: after the fact, and a lot of you know, it
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is what it is. I mean, it was a couple
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: of situations, unfortunately, a couple of people committed to suicide
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: because they said trade was messing with their chicks. It was,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, the thing about that and what upset me.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: But I actually was like really, uh, in a in
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a crazy place of my mom at that time because
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: to place somebody's death on somebody somebody else without knowing
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the dealings, just based off speculation and based off you
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: know one and uh website hits or generation to get
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: this room buzzing, like that's sad, play with Like that's
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: real sad. You don't know what what what spirits you're
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: playing with with? UH. And I won't go into the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: depth of the situation because I respect the woman were
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: talking about respect her family and UH, I don't want
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: to talk negatively about anything in this situation. But it's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: it's a sad story. Um, did anybody lose their life
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: because of me? No? Point blank period. You think you
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: could be in a monogamous relationship, like when you do
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: decide to have a baby and settle down, you think
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: it's possible to be Like, I gotta step back a
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: few steps from this world. You know this, this this
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: lifestyle is not one of regular proportions. Like everything is extreme. Yes,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I think later, it's just it got to be at
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a how to be a point where I'm I'm I'm
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: ready to separate truly what trade songs is from who
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I am as a person and ready to like figure
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: out the line between that in my life and the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: balance of that, Like I've been doing this for a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: long time, and that balance is very hard to find,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: you know. It's like honestly, like when you go somewhere
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and you know, all eyes on you and when women
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: like men treat a sexy girl, that's how girls, I mean,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that's how girls see me. Like you know how you
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: see a girl she You're like, damn, that's how I'm
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: like meet you know what I'm saying, Like, so uh,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: once you get past that infatuation phase or you got
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: to really figure out what's what and if you go
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: all over and anything is accessible, like it's it's take
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: a whole other type of self discipline to really like
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: that's even without a girl, you know what I'm saying,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: that's even like what I'm gonna do, Like you're gonna
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: be here for to do whatever I want to do,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna leave the I don't have to give
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: no commitment to you. I could just get this stress
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: up off me and get back to my day to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: mind how to deal with you like about this that
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and the other, this girl, this text, this tweet, this, that,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: none of that, But then you be nervous you here
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: about it later because of social media. But I don't
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: really trip out that it's the craziest thing a fan
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: that's done, because I mean they chase you, they're all
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: over you, and they hide in the hotels, you know,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: in the room. I actually one time in Chicago. Yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: it was. It's a tricky little room, like like you
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: got one door and you got two doors behind the door.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: But it's the same room. So somehow when I came
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: out one of the doors in the little like I
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: opened the door. So if the door opened like like this,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: there's people right here. Was like three people in the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: corner like hiding. They have been there for hours though,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: like I ain't know, Like I was leaving the hotel,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: so sleeping over in the hotel, like I said, a
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: fan type the balcony, trying to get on stage. Yeah,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: she could have lost their You gotta give her a
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: hugging and kiss. After I did, I caught on stage.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Then they arrested her. I got the plane. I didn't.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Do you ever have to get a restraining order? No,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you gotta somebody put their life in danger in your establishment.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: That's a crump. Do you ever have to get a
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: restraining order against anyone I have. I'm looking for this
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: person though that I gotta like. I'm trying to I
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna give it too much. I don't talk about it,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: but I want to put a strange No, man, you
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: got one too, you got a crazy one too. Yeah,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk about it because I don't want
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to give attention to it. Anything you got kind of stuff?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: You don't. Man, my phone start ringing right now, number connections.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: You gotta speak about this kind of because it's a
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: double standard. People who think men don't have start because
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: you're you're you're objectified all the time. Then sexually objectified
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I am. I mean we feel bad for sexually in
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the air. So I ain't really bitching. He wants to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: be looked at as a piece of meat. Sometimes I'm
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: cool with it. Sometimes she's attractive. It seems like, though,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: that you had gotten into the little break up phase
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: and then gotten back together with the one woman that
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: it seems like you really care about. So does it
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: feel like maybe you lost something and then you realize
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: what you lost and wanted to get her back, But
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: it ain't really that real as a breakup and all that,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Like that's the thing about looking from the outside looking
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: at it, You're just gonna paint your own picture for
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: what it is. And like any relationship, any friendship, you're
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: gonna work through this, that and the other. If you
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: care about somebody, you're gonna try to figure it out.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: And like I was saying everything earlier, it's just difficult
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: trying to, you know, build a foundation or try to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: find something real with somebody when everybody so quick to
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: try to tell the part, you know what I mean.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm blessed man, Like I've been doing this a
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: very long time, and I've been blessed to like not
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: have most of my relationships or like everybody know me
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: try miss still your girl, get the girl, sex this,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: sex that. But my business ain't been in the street
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: for the most part. And I like that. So you know,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: when you get a woman and you know, uh, my reputation,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta make sure she knows she loved
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I gotta and I gotta do that without you know,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: really relying on social media to do that. I gotta
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: do that with making sure she know that in her heart,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I gotta do that, with making sure that you know
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: it can't be torn apart by what people say. Uh
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: and plus its pressure just because you trade songs like
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: you gotta do like the extra special R and B
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: stuff like candles and flowers. Can't be tired when when
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: your girl's horny, if you trade someng, you can't. You
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: can't not send roses when you make a mistake, you can't.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. It's a It's a very
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: high level of h I mean from a woman that
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: knows her worth. That's the most extra special thing you've done, though,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: would you say I've done a lot of special things.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I ain't really trying to talk about that. Yeah. I
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: saw I saw you on and Andy Cohen last night.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah that was fun. Listen. Alli had a headline and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: said homophobic singer Trey songs it's gonna be on Andy Cohen. Wow,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I gotta be that. Where did it come from? I
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: was like, when did trap come? I go from the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: first I was at home on They don't know what
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: they want me to do. They want me to be
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a game. They want me to your girl. They want
• 30:25
