- 2:20Speaker 1: South Central, South Central, And the first time we heard
- 2:24Speaker 1: from you, of course, was Something in My Heart was
- 2:26Speaker 1: a single that you, doctor Drake produced. That's not the
- 2:29Speaker 1: first time. That's the first time I heard of you. Really, Yes,
- 2:33Speaker 1: I'm sorry now, Actually the first time Drake produced to

- 2:38Speaker 1: remember the world Class Racking Crew, Yes, when he had
- 2:41Speaker 1: the glitter, Yeah, that one. Now were you guys dating
- 2:45Speaker 1: at that point or was it from working together that
- 2:48Speaker 1: to establish the relationship. Well, that's when I first met him.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I know Orlando first. I met Lando and the Mona
- 2:56Speaker 1: Lisa was their lead singer, and she couldn't make it
- 2:58Speaker 1: that night. So Lando called me and said, hey, could
- 3:00Speaker 1: you come to the song? And I went to the
- 3:03Speaker 1: studio and he hand me a piece of paper and
- 3:06Speaker 1: I went in with my own melody and everything did
- 3:08Speaker 1: it in one take, and that was dre and Yellow
- 3:11Speaker 1: was in there and I said hello and go bye.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And then you heard it on the radio and you
- 3:14Speaker 1: said and I oh, my father said I think that's
- 3:18Speaker 1: Hugh And I was like, that is because I'm catching
- 3:21Speaker 1: three buses and I didn't know. He didn't say anything,
- 3:25Speaker 1: und I'll just put it out. But I had no right,
- 3:26Speaker 1: I wasn't even in the group, So you did you
- 3:28Speaker 1: sign anything like to release nothing? I didn't know any better.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I'm sixteen, so you still dated doctor Dre even with
- 3:34Speaker 1: all that glitter on he had. Well, I didn't. I
- 3:36Speaker 1: didn't even know about World Class Wrecking Crew. I wasn't.
- 3:38Speaker 1: I didn't know, And yeah, I came in and then
- 3:42Speaker 1: I found out that they what they did and started
- 3:44Speaker 1: listening to their stuff. So at first they were more
- 3:47Speaker 1: of a assoft the group World Class Wrecking crews. Okay,
- 3:52Speaker 1: they were totally two different sides. Okay, okay, world Class
- 3:55Speaker 1: Wrecking Crew was more like um and Dragon is that's
- 3:59Speaker 1: a good word, right, because they loved Prince. So if
- 4:02Speaker 1: you go back, that's really was. Prince was like, okay, right, right,
- 4:07Speaker 1: so that's I think we're a lot of it. Yeah
- 4:10Speaker 1: and dragonis you know, so they love Prince. You could tell.
- 4:14Speaker 1: The whole style was kind of the head price. It
- 4:17Speaker 1: really is. It was Prince issue. So didn't then they
- 4:20Speaker 1: met you when then they went to NWA. You know,
- 4:22Speaker 1: I don't know what I do the man. Um. Yeah, no, actually, um,
- 4:28Speaker 1: I wasn't dating him at that point. He I really
- 4:31Speaker 1: didn't start. Um, it was more it was months later
- 4:36Speaker 1: before I did. You used to see a lot of things,
- 4:38Speaker 1: like other girls in the studio? Did make you feel like,
- 4:41Speaker 1: I don't know if I could date a guy in
- 4:43Speaker 1: the industry. Yeah, I did see a lot of girls,
- 4:48Speaker 1: but they weren't Yeah, I did, but it wasn't me.
- 4:50Speaker 1: It wasn't about to say no, but no. But I
- 4:53Speaker 1: mean it didn't bother me at the time because you know,
- 4:55Speaker 1: I didn't you know, when you just infatuated with someone
- 4:58Speaker 1: that's not you know, you're I don't know. People come
- 5:00Speaker 1: for reasons and season, so he could have just been
- 5:03Speaker 1: for a season. And you were so young too. Yeah,
- 5:05Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to be booed up. So okay, you
- 5:09Speaker 1: think that men in the industry are just expected to cheat,
- 5:12Speaker 1: Like in retrospect, when you look back at everything that
- 5:14Speaker 1: happened and you know the men that you've dated, do
- 5:16Speaker 1: you feel like, well, these are men in positions of power.
- 5:18Speaker 1: All these women went them. So in order for me
- 5:21Speaker 1: to feel like I could have a relationship with somebody
- 5:23Speaker 1: like that, I had a discussion with my friends about
- 5:25Speaker 1: this the other day. Well, like, well, guys in the
- 5:26Speaker 1: industry they just cheat, and it is what it is.
- 5:28Speaker 1: You have to just accept that you do at some point,
- 5:33Speaker 1: and if you don't, you'd be like me and single.
- 5:36Speaker 1: But my grandmother what it's true. But my grandmother she
- 5:39Speaker 1: told me, she says, you can leave that man, but
- 5:41Speaker 1: all men are going to cheat. All men well she
- 5:44Speaker 1: said there were very few that wouldn't, but they'refore a
- 5:47Speaker 1: few between, and she was right. I do. What do
- 5:50Speaker 1: you think the best relationship you've ever been in, like
- 5:52Speaker 1: with who me? By yourself? I'm the one time you
- 5:56Speaker 1: never felt like you had a guy treat you just
- 5:58Speaker 1: extremely well, and maybe you dogs him out because you was,
- 6:00Speaker 1: you know, feeling yourself. I think I think, Um, the
- 6:05Speaker 1: generosity and the protectiveness was always there, But then I've
- 6:09Speaker 1: learned that that was controlling, but I didn't see it
- 6:11Speaker 1: that way. So now so now you you start dating
- 6:14Speaker 1: doctor Dre and everything is fine. He's producing your stuff
- 6:18Speaker 1: and you guys never got married. We know we were engaged,
- 6:22Speaker 1: and I never um because he wasn't ready. I told him,
- 6:26Speaker 1: you know, when you want to stop being doctor Dre
- 6:29Speaker 1: and be Andre. Then you know I was serious if
- 6:31Speaker 1: I was ever going to get married. But you had
- 6:32Speaker 1: a kid. We didn't have a kid. We were together
- 6:35Speaker 1: five years before we had a child. Years you finally
- 6:38Speaker 1: had a child and still decided not to get mad.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Just for what? And what broke ella? What made you
- 6:42Speaker 1: turn away? What made you leave? Same thing, just the same,
- 6:46Speaker 1: just waiting him out? Girl at the girl fighting. I'm
- 6:48Speaker 1: twenty seven. I finally put my fist down and said
- 6:51Speaker 1: I just can't do it. That was one thing, and
- 6:53Speaker 1: it was it was a lot, but that was really
- 6:55Speaker 1: you get tired. You guys used to fist fight a lot.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I didn't put it well, I tried, but bigger than
- 7:01Speaker 1: oh yeah, I was losing. He was losing. Yeah, the
- 7:04Speaker 1: little moment it wasn't It wasn't funny, but a joke
- 7:08Speaker 1: about yeah, shouldn't he said he started his company beats
- 7:13Speaker 1: by Dre was from an incident with you. Did you
- 7:16Speaker 1: find that funny? Or it was? Yeah? I get it.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I give that. I get her sense to you, Michell
- 7:22Speaker 1: coming from her, it fell were coming from someone else.
- 7:24Speaker 1: I'd probably really took it the other way, but now
- 7:26Speaker 1: I know how she thinks. So it wasn't It wasn't
- 7:30Speaker 1: a bad joke. I mean, it was actually quite clever.
- 7:34Speaker 1: So right now we're dating. But I'm sure that was
- 7:37Speaker 1: difficult for you because I feel like for you, I
- 7:39Speaker 1: know you first when they actually do R and B divas,
- 7:41Speaker 1: you turned it down. But then you said, Kelly Price
- 7:43Speaker 1: came and asked you directly, right, and you decided to
- 7:46Speaker 1: do it. So it seems like it's been really therapeutic
- 7:48Speaker 1: for you. You've been able to come out and talk
- 7:50Speaker 1: about a lot of different things that people might not
- 7:52Speaker 1: have known before. Was it difficult for you to come
- 7:55Speaker 1: out and talk about your relationship with doctor Dre and him,
- 7:57Speaker 1: you know, putting his hands on you? And I know,
- 8:00Speaker 1: did he break your nose or yeah, he did? He
- 8:03Speaker 1: broke your nose? I had died black eyes, I have
- 8:07Speaker 1: a cracked rib crack rib um. Yes, just amazing. Did
- 8:13Speaker 1: you feel like you never wanted anybody to know that
- 8:16Speaker 1: like you were? Were you embarrassed about it or do
- 8:18Speaker 1: you think that it was a normal and everybody that
- 8:20Speaker 1: knew it and you never called the police one time?
- 8:24Speaker 1: How do you break your nose with his fist? Or yeah?
- 8:29Speaker 1: And has he since like apologized, I know this was
- 8:31Speaker 1: a long time ago, but after he's so you know,
- 8:34Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of people who have addressed it, like, Okay,
- 8:36Speaker 1: we never knew you were like this. Did he apologize
- 8:39Speaker 1: to you and say, you know what I was? You know,
- 8:41Speaker 1: messed up back then we were young. I made some
- 8:43Speaker 1: big mistakes. No, he hadn't apologized to this day, and
- 8:46Speaker 1: it wouldn't even do any good because it's the past, right,
- 8:49Speaker 1: I will pass that. But I do remember when he
- 8:52Speaker 1: first hit me. Um, he when he first gave me
- 8:55Speaker 1: my very first black eye. Hey, he we laid in
- 8:58Speaker 1: the bed and he cried. He was crying. I was
- 9:01Speaker 1: crying because you know, I was shocking, hurt and pain.
- 9:04Speaker 1: I don't know why he was crying, but he said,
- 9:06Speaker 1: you know, I'm really sorry. I think that's the only
- 9:08Speaker 1: time he'd ever said it was sorry. And he um
- 9:11Speaker 1: he said, I'll never hit you on that I again, okay,
- 9:13Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, okay, and we fell asleep.
- 9:16Speaker 1: So years later I was talking to my friend and
- 9:19Speaker 1: I joked and said, yeah, you know, he said he
- 9:21Speaker 1: wasn't going to hit me and his eye ever again.
- 9:23Speaker 1: So he started hitting me in that one. So you know,
- 9:27Speaker 1: I just you start humor and you have to to
- 9:30Speaker 1: get through the pain. So it became, you know, we
- 9:33Speaker 1: were I can turn her. I mean we we we
- 9:35Speaker 1: I can you know, Tina, So just it was normal.
- 9:38Speaker 1: It was what made you stay? Was he putting it
- 9:40Speaker 1: down in bed? Was it the money? Like what made
- 9:41Speaker 1: you stay? Oh wow? Yeah, he had to say, but
- 9:44Speaker 1: what about me? I was doing my part? Yeah, I
- 9:48Speaker 1: just yeah, so yeah, I mean, I'm yeah, so you know,
- 9:51Speaker 1: I mean he could he was coming back. So, um,
- 9:54Speaker 1: I think we're nicety, I mean he oh no, But
- 10:01Speaker 1: I think it was a multitude of things though, because
- 10:03Speaker 1: when you when you've been with somebody so long, you
- 10:06Speaker 1: become coll dependent upon them. Man, you your self esteem
- 10:09Speaker 1: is what they've given you. Now, right now, how do
- 10:11Speaker 1: you leave doctor Dre and go to doctor Dre's enemy.
- 10:15Speaker 1: We'll see. They weren't quite enemies. You've even said, you
- 10:18Speaker 1: even said, this night is the one that kind of
- 10:19Speaker 1: taught you a man is not supposed to put his hand. Yeah,
- 10:21Speaker 1: Sugar was always the protector and he was like, no,
- 10:25Speaker 1: you don't have to do that. You would think Sugar
- 10:27Speaker 1: would be the one. Yeah, I know, from the reputation
- 10:29Speaker 1: that he has that would be really aggressive. And but
- 10:32Speaker 1: how did that happen? Because they were business partners and
- 10:34Speaker 1: then you just left, Dree went to shit like they were.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Actually it was a time lapsing. It wasn't that I
- 10:40Speaker 1: did not just take my shirt to shake him and
- 10:42Speaker 1: roll love on off and roll love. Okay, now that's
- 10:45Speaker 1: hospitable talk. Um No, Actually, Drey was. I went away
- 10:50Speaker 1: and um I was going for like two and a
- 10:52Speaker 1: half months, and um I came back and they said, oh,
- 10:55Speaker 1: doctor Dre's engaged to say, I had already had it
- 10:58Speaker 1: out with this girl before I left. One of the girls.
- 11:00Speaker 1: He cheated on you with his wife. Of now right
- 11:03Speaker 1: back then, that was one of the girls. Yeah, he
- 11:04Speaker 1: was sleeping with them. So I was like, come on,
- 11:06Speaker 1: you know, and I mean she was she was like
- 11:10Speaker 1: she knew she wanted you know what she wanted. It
- 11:13Speaker 1: was hands down. She was the first one that came
- 11:15Speaker 1: into his life through what I went. Oh god, you know,
- 11:18Speaker 1: she saw the big house, she saw the kid that
- 11:20Speaker 1: she she was looking at our things going oh so
- 11:25Speaker 1: you know, the other girls just wanted to know. I'm
- 11:28Speaker 1: saying she she knew, she knew what money was. Why
- 11:31Speaker 1: the other girls just was happy to be sleeping with him. Yeah,
- 11:35Speaker 1: to be like, you're gonna do me a record? Okay,
- 11:37Speaker 1: that you know, but this she was absolutely I mean
- 11:41Speaker 1: she came straight for the chat because she was out.
- 11:42Speaker 1: She's with doctor Dre for the straight for the chat.
- 11:44Speaker 1: And I saw that and I just went listen. If
- 11:46Speaker 1: he can't see it, I'm not staying around to help
- 11:48Speaker 1: him out. You know, you just get tired. And so
- 11:52Speaker 1: at that point, Um, it was another couple of years before.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I mean she put me and she could be here
- 11:57Speaker 1: to become my confident because because it sh but at
- 11:59Speaker 1: that time and shre noting with each other. Right, No,
- 12:02Speaker 1: that's what I'm trying to She said she had no
- 12:06Speaker 1: idea that they didn't get on. They I didn't know
- 12:08Speaker 1: because Dra didn't have an issue with you. She'll cad
- 12:11Speaker 1: an issue with Dre. But he kept it quiet at
- 12:14Speaker 1: in the beginning. Did you tell doctor Dre before you
- 12:16Speaker 1: started dating Sugar? Now? But what you didn't tell me
- 12:20Speaker 1: he had a big ring. I'll have finger he didn't
- 12:22Speaker 1: call me. I don't think why you guys think it's
- 12:25Speaker 1: so unfair. He sat with Um. I mean, every woman,
- 12:28Speaker 1: I can't throw our house in the minute. I just
- 12:31Speaker 1: because he knew this guy, I'm the back. No, you
- 12:33Speaker 1: know what it is just we see it as doctor
- 12:35Speaker 1: Dre sug Knight, the enemies. So what we here? When
- 12:37Speaker 1: you when you when you come and you say you had,
- 12:39Speaker 1: you know, a relationship with Dre and Sugars, like, whoo,
- 12:41Speaker 1: that was his enemy. That's the way to get back.
- 12:43Speaker 1: So you think I did it to get back or
- 12:45Speaker 1: even oh I don't know, that's I'm asking no, no, no.
- 12:49Speaker 1: But if I did and it hurt, good, that's life,
- 12:55Speaker 1: I guess for Eving. But you did end up marrying
- 13:00Speaker 1: Sugar Night, so I fake marriage? Are you fake? It
- 13:03Speaker 1: was a fake marriage when he's already married to somebody else.
- 13:07Speaker 1: And don't tell you were so listen it was a
- 13:09Speaker 1: lot going on. It was all kind of scandals. You were, well,
- 13:13Speaker 1: I was naive. Did you did you have a ceremony
- 13:16Speaker 1: and everything? Yeah? Well, jail one, he was in prison.
- 13:19Speaker 1: So he was in jail for six I didn't know, okay,
- 13:22Speaker 1: And then the judge told me when I had to
- 13:24Speaker 1: go get a real divoice, he said, well, did you
- 13:26Speaker 1: see a man in a black rope? As to no,
- 13:33Speaker 1: it wasn't black. He said, well then you're not married,
- 13:36Speaker 1: but you were. He was in jail six of the
- 13:38Speaker 1: eight years that you guys, Yeah we're together. He was
- 13:41Speaker 1: actually six and a half years. So it was a
- 13:43Speaker 1: great marriage because I didn't see him offing, right, and
- 13:45Speaker 1: he wasn't cheating on you in jail. Well, yes he was.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I had my day and then we've seen on your
- 13:49Speaker 1: jail the women coming in. You know how but are
- 13:52Speaker 1: you probably never been like he was cheating on you
- 13:54Speaker 1: with jail, with other people in jail. Oh no, no, no,
- 13:58Speaker 1: don't start that woman. I didn't say that. I don't know. No,
- 14:02Speaker 1: it was okay, I had one day, that the girl
- 14:04Speaker 1: had one day, and that the girl had one day,
- 14:06Speaker 1: and another girl okay, because I know they do that.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Well yeah, another girl, Well they would they would try
- 14:13Speaker 1: to hold me up so that I could pass her
- 14:15Speaker 1: and but passing. But I had details, so detail was
- 14:18Speaker 1: smarter than they were. Were you ever scared of Sugar?
- 14:22Speaker 1: I feared n't. It was why would you marry him?
- 14:24Speaker 1: Be with him because it seems like the world for him. Well,
- 14:27Speaker 1: because at the time I didn't see all that. He
- 14:30Speaker 1: always saw his good I always saw his good side. Sugar,
- 14:33Speaker 1: was you don't need to do that. You're a good girl.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Stay here, stay fer, do this, do that. He didn't
- 14:38Speaker 1: drink and smoke at that time. Champagne was the most
- 14:41Speaker 1: I'd ever seen him. Do you feel fearful all of them? Aren't? Now?
- 14:43Speaker 1: You scared him? Now? Absolutely not, because he's in jail.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Well know, if I wasn't scared of don't even when
- 14:49Speaker 1: he got out, I talked to him now like he
- 14:51Speaker 1: talked to me. It took me many years to get
- 14:54Speaker 1: to that point. What are people? What are the things
- 14:55Speaker 1: that people don't know about sugar that they should know
- 14:57Speaker 1: because when they see showed, they see this big god
- 15:00Speaker 1: that's scary. He's almost like the big debo. They look
- 15:03Speaker 1: at sugars the devil and sometimes um, you know, and
- 15:09Speaker 1: but you know what, but there's a good side in
- 15:11Speaker 1: the best side to all of us. We all have
- 15:14Speaker 1: it in us. He just he's like an animal. The
- 15:16Speaker 1: best way to describe him is he he has animal
- 15:19Speaker 1: instead what I'm saying, who, No, he's no. Some poodles
- 15:28Speaker 1: do attack before they think, and then they come back
- 15:30Speaker 1: and licking wound. And that's how he is. Like he'll
- 15:33Speaker 1: attack you without and then he'll come back and you
- 15:35Speaker 1: know what, man, and then he'll explain that yeah, but
- 15:39Speaker 1: he doesn't know any other way to interact with you,
- 15:42Speaker 1: like if you bumped into him. He doesn't know how
- 15:44Speaker 1: to just go ahead, you know, he like grab your
- 15:46Speaker 1: shoulder and go, man, did you see what? You know?
- 15:48Speaker 1: You know he's already there as opposed to just go on, okay, man,
- 15:52Speaker 1: he already called there. But then he comes back down
- 15:54Speaker 1: and go yeah, man, you know you just can't be
- 15:56Speaker 1: doing that. And then he starts giving you all this
- 15:58Speaker 1: great this great words, you know, which is what he
- 16:01Speaker 1: should have done. But what's the craziest thing she has
- 16:04Speaker 1: done with you? Don't say nothing, no killing nobody. We
- 16:07Speaker 1: don't want nobody to go to jail. But the craziest
- 16:09Speaker 1: thing besides we didn't kill it allegedly manslaughter, murder that
- 16:12Speaker 1: he's done to me just around when you was around.
- 16:16Speaker 1: It's the craziest thing you've seen. Well, that's just did
- 16:18Speaker 1: I didn't get to see all that. It was always
- 16:20Speaker 1: rumor that I heard it, you know. Um. I think
- 16:24Speaker 1: the one of the craziest thing he did was when
- 16:26Speaker 1: he tried to hit me. He only tried one time,
- 16:29Speaker 1: and he's so he was so strong that he didn't.
- 16:33Speaker 1: He opened hand, slapped me and throw my whole jar
- 16:37Speaker 1: out of had to go onto emergency. He had had
- 16:40Speaker 1: to be hit you. Yes, he smacked yeah, backhand with
- 16:45Speaker 1: a backhand, and he was he's so strong. But it oh,
- 16:48Speaker 1: this just was over here and it wouldn't go back.
- 16:50Speaker 1: So I finally had to call him and say, you know,
- 16:53Speaker 1: you didn't have to come and take me to emergency. Well,
- 16:56Speaker 1: so he does that to you and then he has
- 16:57Speaker 1: to take you to the well. It was he the
- 16:59Speaker 1: data the police or awe. Yeah, so he he got
- 17:03Speaker 1: there quick, he was on time. That was you not
- 17:05Speaker 1: wanting to snitch on somebody. Boy, You just did this
- 17:07Speaker 1: to me. But I don't want to call the cops
- 17:09Speaker 1: on you, because she didn't want to call an ambulance
- 17:13Speaker 1: because then she's got to do a police I had
- 17:16Speaker 1: to do all that. Even when I got to the
- 17:17Speaker 1: hospital and they said what happened, I said, I get
- 17:19Speaker 1: hit by football. I do that you got hit by
- 17:25Speaker 1: a football. That you were playing football, but one of
- 17:27Speaker 1: your friends hit you in the face and then and
- 17:30Speaker 1: then but that's now she knew it wasn't true until
- 17:32Speaker 1: she write it. So once they dragged me to put
- 17:34Speaker 1: to the date she was talking. She says, I know
- 17:37Speaker 1: you didn't get hit by football because you can tell
- 17:40Speaker 1: me what it is. And it was funny because he
- 17:42Speaker 1: wouldn't leave the room. They kept telling him. He was
- 17:44Speaker 1: standing there like this and all I was like one
- 17:47Speaker 1: in an algora. M m m m. Do you watch Empire? Yeah?
- 17:53Speaker 1: Sometimes he said this season finale, the good thing they
- 17:55Speaker 1: didn't give, you know, an ambience. You didn't been telling
- 17:57Speaker 1: everything everything? Yeah, because once yeah, because I have told
- 18:00Speaker 1: your had I'm not there. Yeah, he wouldn't leave. He
- 18:03Speaker 1: wouldn't leave the rule. But I think Sugar's needed in La.
- 18:06Speaker 1: I think I think Sugars needed. I think he keeps
- 18:08Speaker 1: a lot of the suckers. And now because Sugars, he's
- 18:10Speaker 1: a debo, so he will. I think that every great
- 18:14Speaker 1: city needs a debo, meaning somebody that basically protects the land.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Like if you go to Detroit, it's trick trick. If
- 18:20Speaker 1: you go to La it's chilled. If you go to
- 18:22Speaker 1: the people that just make sure everything's good. Because a
- 18:24Speaker 1: lot of times, I know Sugar does a lot for
- 18:26Speaker 1: the community, like they talk about sometimes he gets back
- 18:28Speaker 1: to the kids. You see that side of him. But
- 18:30Speaker 1: the people, that's right. Yeah. I saw him saving houses
- 18:34Speaker 1: for the homeboys and mothers who wasn't called foreclosure. Cauld
- 18:38Speaker 1: him out for in the morningcle and I need this?
- 18:40Speaker 1: Can you help me out? Him getting out of his
- 18:41Speaker 1: bed and going to help people with their problems. He
- 18:44Speaker 1: had nothing to do with that. So I used to
- 18:46Speaker 1: think that I was in daring to take on other
- 18:49Speaker 1: people's problems. Although but now I learned later that you know,
- 18:53Speaker 1: if you do, if he do you one favorite, you
- 18:55Speaker 1: owe him five. Right, So that's it. Yeah? Let me
- 18:59Speaker 1: ask you, after you date Sugar and whatever, have your
- 19:02Speaker 1: fake marriage, how can you date anybody after that? Or
- 19:05Speaker 1: is it some or is it people are too scared
- 19:07Speaker 1: to date you? Of course, I think guys are scared
- 19:10Speaker 1: to take me. Oh, now, hold your daughter twelve? You can't.
- 19:14Speaker 1: What do you tell sars daughter? Go do your homework.
- 19:17Speaker 1: I tell my daddy. You're right, you'll tell your daddy.
- 19:20Speaker 1: I'm not mess. I didn't raise you like that. She's
- 19:23Speaker 1: not as like that. She's bailing man. But I'm sure
- 19:26Speaker 1: that it's you know, your relationship with him is different.
- 19:29Speaker 1: I'm sure now you can do whatever you want. I mean,
- 19:31Speaker 1: you've been went on a date, you know, on R
- 19:34Speaker 1: and B Divis and now you said you're not dating
- 19:35Speaker 1: anymore after I'm good. Yeah, yeah, he's a nice guy.
- 19:43Speaker 1: I'm do you still get money from all that? Your
- 19:46Speaker 1: son is older now so you don't get anything. Did
- 19:48Speaker 1: you get a lot of money from doctor Dre Did
- 19:49Speaker 1: he take care of his kids the right way? Or no?
- 19:51Speaker 1: I had you taken the court, but yeah, he finally did.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Did he see his son or was it just monetary?
- 19:56Speaker 1: When my mom and my gllamma died, he came into
- 19:58Speaker 1: my son's life. So that was cool and I'm grateful that.
- 20:02Speaker 1: I always say they have a good relationship, so yeah,
- 20:06Speaker 1: that's that's what's important, right. And you said you're not
- 20:09Speaker 1: gonna have another one of the kids on this show
- 20:10Speaker 1: because both of their dads don't want them, Well they didn't.
- 20:13Speaker 1: So what happening was Bailly is on one seeing at
- 20:16Speaker 1: Crissette's house because she wanted she begged and I had
- 20:19Speaker 1: full custodyether so we mean sugar arguing for months about it,
- 20:25Speaker 1: and m I just said, you know what, she loves Crissette.
- 20:29Speaker 1: She calls her Super Criz and we were wearing wings
- 20:33Speaker 1: and she loves you know it was fun, so I thought,
- 20:36Speaker 1: what harm could it be? And I really would want
- 20:38Speaker 1: to see what he would do if I defied him,
- 20:41Speaker 1: you know, and I did and I was like wow.
- 20:45Speaker 1: And he didn't call and say anything. So he seems
- 20:49Speaker 1: serious about his kids too. Oh he's very that's the
- 20:52Speaker 1: one thing I said. He stalks me to be a
- 20:54Speaker 1: part of her life. And Chrissette Michelle is no longer
- 20:58Speaker 1: on this show. And I know that was a really
- 20:59Speaker 1: good end of yours. But you guys didn't tech because
- 21:01Speaker 1: I know some of the other people said they haven't
- 21:02Speaker 1: spoken to her. Yeah, we're staying, dad, And are you
- 21:06Speaker 1: thinking about getting a life culture or anything like that?
- 21:09Speaker 1: About therapy is really good, So I'm kind of sticking
- 21:13Speaker 1: with therapy, you know, I mean a life culture. I
- 21:16Speaker 1: may graduate too, but right now I just got it,
- 21:19Speaker 1: you know, focus and you know, figure out, like life
- 21:25Speaker 1: to me is not about where you are. Sometimes you
- 21:28Speaker 1: have to go back and understand why you are the
- 21:30Speaker 1: where you are. And I never thought that was true.
- 21:34Speaker 1: But then when they connect the dads for you, you go,
- 21:36Speaker 1: I would have never saw that, you know, Why did
- 21:39Speaker 1: I date the same kind of man? And you know,
- 21:41Speaker 1: and you look for the same kind of and you know,
- 21:43Speaker 1: and you attract the same kind. It's not them, it's
- 21:45Speaker 1: you first of all. So they teach you just a lot,
- 21:48Speaker 1: and a lot of it comes from you being a
- 21:50Speaker 1: child in your household and what you see that you've
- 21:54Speaker 1: put into your subconscious. Now, people always talk about sug
- 21:57Speaker 1: Night being involved with the murder of Biggie or the
- 22:00Speaker 1: murder of Tupac. Now you around him during our times, right,
- 22:03Speaker 1: he was in prison. He was in prison. So do
- 22:05Speaker 1: you think that he could have possibly been involved with
- 22:08Speaker 1: any of that? My honest opinion is I think he
- 22:10Speaker 1: took the credit. Oh, I'm sorry, I just I don't.
- 22:16Speaker 1: I just think he took the credit. I mean it
- 22:19Speaker 1: just I don't. There was no signs to me, do
- 22:23Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I don't. I don't. My
- 22:27Speaker 1: wife's nowhere in there. Sheold. If she was, I would
- 22:29Speaker 1: I left a long time ago because I'm scared. You
- 22:32Speaker 1: can't be scared now, he's an old man. I'm totally
- 22:36Speaker 1: I'm not scared of him. I took the video of
- 22:38Speaker 1: Sugar allegedly running over dude. I am still scared. I
- 22:40Speaker 1: don't mess with him. Well, he allegedly banned well he was.
- 22:45Speaker 1: I seen that point he did run them. We don't
- 22:46Speaker 1: other reason behind the I don't know if he was
- 22:48Speaker 1: trying to flee or he was trying to flee. Yeah,
- 22:52Speaker 1: that guy was hitting him through the window, so he
- 22:55Speaker 1: was in there when she was trying to open the door.
- 22:57Speaker 1: He was keeping trying to push the door. So he
- 22:59Speaker 1: just say it okay and took it back to check up.
- 23:02Speaker 1: But you know, the rapture me is so pat that
- 23:06Speaker 1: you also but you also are working on a book. Yes,
- 23:10Speaker 1: let's talk about this book. What's in this book? My life?
- 23:13Speaker 1: It's about me, your life and everything, your relationships and
- 23:16Speaker 1: what you've conquered and all or everything. Do you feel
- 23:19Speaker 1: like the book is also part of your therapy? Just together,
- 23:22Speaker 1: absolutely things out from the beginning. So you're gonna start
- 23:25Speaker 1: the beginning of your life. I'm gonna be like and
- 23:28Speaker 1: being like Jesus. You know the first I t year,
- 23:30Speaker 1: You're gonna lose. Let it go, Just let it go.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Let's start from the good part. Yeah, you guys are
- 23:37Speaker 1: coming out to I do want to tell a story
- 23:39Speaker 1: about my mom and my dad so the people understand
- 23:42Speaker 1: why I'm so um, I'm not connected, you know, So
- 23:49Speaker 1: why I didn't see what may look wrong to other
- 23:52Speaker 1: people didn't affect me. Right, So your dad was abusive
- 23:55Speaker 1: towards your mom. No, they were never together. Oh, they
- 23:59Speaker 1: were never together. They're okay, Yes, I was born out
- 24:01Speaker 1: of sex like my daughter, right, yes, okay, so all right,
- 24:06Speaker 1: so they were never together. And then, um, so you
- 24:10Speaker 1: feel like you don't have a connection with them, Well
- 24:13Speaker 1: they weren't. They weren't parents that were affectionate. And um,
- 24:17Speaker 1: they weren't. They weren't. They didn't tell me they loved me.
- 24:20Speaker 1: They haven't. They don't say it right. What about your
- 24:23Speaker 1: your voice? They had to joke you a lot in school,
- 24:25Speaker 1: did they? No? I was quiet, really, I was a
- 24:29Speaker 1: good student. Show I didn't have to worry, not at all. Yeah.
- 24:34Speaker 1: I stayed in my lane. And you were business wise?
- 24:37Speaker 1: Would you say you were pretty good business wise? Because
- 24:39Speaker 1: I know they always say, you know, with you and
- 24:41Speaker 1: when you were with Sugar, you did a lot of
- 24:43Speaker 1: stuff behind the scenes for the company. I tried, and
- 24:47Speaker 1: then he would destroy it. So like what kind of
- 24:51Speaker 1: things were you doing? Um? Well, one thing I can
- 24:56Speaker 1: say I told him to do. I said, why don't
- 24:57Speaker 1: you just shed that froll down and grass and great
- 25:01Speaker 1: and Grace landed, you know, like Elvis's stayed and just
- 25:05Speaker 1: make it so hard to get that it would be
- 25:07Speaker 1: worth the memorabilia would be worth so much. Right, he
- 25:10Speaker 1: didn't do it. I was like please. Then he came
- 25:12Speaker 1: to me many years later and said, you're right. No,
- 25:16Speaker 1: if he had it was the catalog alone, Yeah, just
- 25:19Speaker 1: a catalog nothing. I mean, the memorabilia alone would have
- 25:23Speaker 1: been still fortune. So he would listen to me. So
- 25:27Speaker 1: I said, you know, let me leave this alone, because
- 25:29Speaker 1: you're gonna come out broke. That must have been me
- 25:32Speaker 1: and my miss Cleota. What made you finally decide to
- 25:37Speaker 1: leave him? After holding it down? Okay, he was locked
- 25:40Speaker 1: up for six and a half years, having a child together,
- 25:43Speaker 1: you know, thinking you were married, watching all these women
- 25:45Speaker 1: coming and out. Why did you finally say, okay, I'm done.
- 25:47Speaker 1: Real short story had a mistress, but he told me
- 25:51Speaker 1: a different story about her, and I had seen her
- 25:54Speaker 1: work back when we were friends, so I believe that
- 25:57Speaker 1: she was just his homeboy's friend, you know, girlfriend, right,
- 26:01Speaker 1: and he was just taking care of her and her
- 26:03Speaker 1: son because he was he had got life in prison.
- 26:06Speaker 1: It says the code of the guys like I'm gonna
- 26:08Speaker 1: take care. Yeah, and I thought that was endearing to me.
- 26:10Speaker 1: I thought, that is so sweet. That's hope. Damn I
- 26:13Speaker 1: was that is so sweet. And kind of find out
- 26:17Speaker 1: when and about I'll say, oh, wound ninety six, pout
- 26:22Speaker 1: ninety five, when put ninety five going in nine ninety six,
- 26:26Speaker 1: I found out she was the main mistress for many, many,
- 26:30Speaker 1: many years. And then once she got pregnant a year
- 26:34Speaker 1: or two, a year and a half after I had
- 26:37Speaker 1: my daughter, I said, that's it. I can't oh, that
- 26:41Speaker 1: was it because I felt like a complete fool. That's
- 26:43Speaker 1: when it really and you probably welcome this woman into no,
- 26:46Speaker 1: but I mean, look what I did. I gave up everything.
- 26:48Speaker 1: I lost friends, I lost you know, and here you
- 26:51Speaker 1: know you just I just thought I was so your
- 26:54Speaker 1: friends were telling you leave this man alone, you gotta
- 26:56Speaker 1: get away, and had Well yeah, well I had no friends.
- 26:59Speaker 1: I couldn't have any male friends. He didn't like my
- 27:02Speaker 1: girlfriend of all all the years, so I was reclusive
- 27:05Speaker 1: and I was the princess in the castle. Wow. Well,
