  Speaker 2: What about Saint Lucia?
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: Okay, So Saint Lucia has been like my sanctuary. I
• 6:02
  Speaker 8: have found peace there, comfort, happiness, joy and not saying
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: that it erases life's problems, but it makes it a
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: little bit easier to deal with.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: So I literally wrote away my troubles in paradise.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: And what I love about this body of work is
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: it feels like what a summer fling feels like, you
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: know what I mean. It's exciting, it has its ups
• 6:23
  Speaker 8: and downs. You know, it's not too serious, but then again,
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: it really.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Feels heavy in the moment.
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: Yes, in the moment, it just feels like this is
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: the one.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: But then it's like by labor Day, you like, you
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: know what, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: So I love the project.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Do you remember a place that you found peace before?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Saint Lucian?
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: No?
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: No?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: So when I found it, I was like, this is
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: what it's like to live.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is a Kansas like water?
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Of course?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, Wow.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: When you say to live, is it because like you've
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: been famous and like kind of in the spotlight for
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: a long time, or do you just mean like just
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: because they live differently, they're very free on the islands.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Or like what do you mean by to live?
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: It gave a new definition to living because this is
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: all I've known my whole life. You know, I've been
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: in the spotlight or however you want to call it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Since I've been like a little girl.
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: So my life, you know, my goals, my dreams, my aspirations,
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: what makes me happy. It's all been based on my
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: career and how people view me in that space. But
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: it's also about your internal your character, how you feel mentally,
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: your heart. And when I went there, I was like, Okay,
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: this is true peace. It has nothing to do with
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: how people view me as an artist, but actually as
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: a human being.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I was I was triggered by your album a little bit.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Why tell me why.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: He's life skinned myself at the other age.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: With me?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Are you about to cry?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Almost? They have a song on that called roles Mmm,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: and I'm not talking flowers.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: We had a conversation on the breakfast club one day
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: about how women use the rolls and how men you
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: got to dig deeper.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Don't tell the story. If you're not gonna tell it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: He could go there.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: It's all right, he has some issues.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: You're going to tell this story. You tell it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: He has some issues a little bit.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: You know, some men look at the rolls and not
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: flowers as cheating and you want women to charge the rose.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: But how about men.
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: Now that's not fair, because if you think a rose
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: is cheating, then you could say porn is cheating.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Some people do consider porn cheating. I don't like there
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: are some people who'll be like, we have to watch
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: it together.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: We don't need it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Now, that's o ding it. People can have fantasies.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: So this song and she really idolizes the rose, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I don't like your eyes. You buried the lead though.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Tell tell about the book?
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: Can she wrote away her troubles?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: That's right away?
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: I have to hear this. Oh yeah, okay, wait.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Me and my wife have been together since sixteen.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Love it when we first having sexual relations. Don't look
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: at me like that because.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: I'm just waiting. I'm sorry, I don't know what I'm.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: It was hard to make her orgasm hold my hand.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Please wait? Why are you talking about this?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: It was in the book We find out? But for
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: five years, no, ten, don't you dick.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: You see what I didn't get?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: You said in the book. Don't you laugh? Book, don't
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: you laugh.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: I'm not laughing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: For a while, it took.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Me ten years, a decade.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I could not make her reach orgasm.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: You can't get to that's why you already.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I couldn't get there.
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: That was the problem.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: That was the problem.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: And I couldn't get there because you know what, I
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: used to watch porn and I used to think bang
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: bang bang bang bang was the way, and I realized
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: it wasn't. And now the rose triggers me.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: That's why you hate toys.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: You just need to build yourself up so that you're
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: not triggered by materialistic things. Right.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: You have to better yourself and that will solve the problem.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: It should be an addition to you all's love.

  Speaker 6: He is who he is talking about Gunna, And it's
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: tough sometimes and people critique you a lot about be
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: your woman, and you date and you have sex and
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: you do these different things. So is that tough trying
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: to date at all? Removing Gunnan from the situation.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, One, I'm really proud of everything that he's doing.
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: Two, Honestly, it is tough to date because even if
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: I just want to go out to grab a bike, say,
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: talk about music, if it's any one of the opposite sex,
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: it's like, oh, that's what she's dating. And I want
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: people to focus on me and my career. I don't
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: want to be connected to every man that I'm standing
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: next to. So because of that, I mean I am
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: naturally a hermit, but because of that, I'm just like
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: extra extra cautious.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: And it's unfortunate though, because you are in the phase
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: where I'm sure you're dating when to meet new people,
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: and it's a fun thing to be able to do.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't do it publicly.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: But since those photos were public at one time, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: I know you guys have denied it and then the
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: offset thing happened, what is the what's the synergy there?
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: Like?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Is there nothing there for real?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Or you want know the status?
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: Like I just want to know.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: I feel like every time we get told there's nothing,
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: then it's like, y'all find each other somewhere.
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: Well, I mean we're both in the industry. He's doing
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: his thing, I'm doing my thing. He's doing really great,
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: by the way, so it's just all love.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, are you writing nowadays more from a reflective
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: standpoint or as a storyteller, because you know, I hear
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: records like might as well where you say things I'm like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I might fly a nigga to the south Side, let
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: him hit it first night, then fall back.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Jesus, you know that's the new Chloe.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about Michrel.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: You're here now.
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: So it's like my external doesn't say these things right,
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: but my internal feel them. So when I write, it's like,
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: coming from a standpoint, this is what i'd say to you,
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: right if you you know, if I had.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: The golf, I like that for you.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Though you man out for real? No, oh okay, if
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: you like who.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't do it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: She ain't gonna be dealing with those brokies.
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: To say that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Sometimes.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: But I don't. I don't think I would do that.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, maybe i'd go there instead so that I'm
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: flying myself.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, you feel me.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Dating somebody that might not have it like you did,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't say, you know what, boo boo, I'm gonna
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: fly you to me into La I'm gonnaly you to
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: me to Saint Lucia, or I'm gonna fly you to wherever.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: I would want them to at least be able to
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: get a flight to see me.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong with that?
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, because I don't want to be like
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: I don't want to play like the masculine role and
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: like make him feel less than.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: So I'd rather not even visit that.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: People forget that you're twenty six years old. I think
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: a lot of people still look at you as the
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: young teenager singing. Do you have a hard time with that?
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: No, it kind of makes me laugh, especially when I
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: have no makeup when I do look fifteen, and I
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: do have like a young spirit, So I mean, it's okay.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: It's sometimes I'm.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: Like, gosh, I'm twenty six, four years from thirty, let's
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: let it go.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: But what does your dad and auntie say about those lyrics?
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Because you're such.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: A family person.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and usually your dad's here, so what do you
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: what do they say when they hear those lyrics?
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: So, my Godmom, she's the first person I'll send the
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: songs to and she knows me, like at the back
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: of my hand, so she will laugh a lot to
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: the lyrics, and then she'll also push me.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: And what I really love too about how want Me
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: came about was sis and I.
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: When I played it for her, she was like, this
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: feels like a Colo and Haley record. And I kept
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: looping that in my head and I was like you
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: know what. So then I wrote Sister's Verse.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: And I was like, do you want to hop on
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: this with me?
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: And it was nice that we got to have a
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: collaboration together after two years. So it's like little things
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: like that that I won't always be prevy or open
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: to that she'll like call out. So it's always nice
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: to have someone that you'll trust. Now for a song
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: is she'll tell me there's too much?
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, are there ever any songs like because you have
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: temporarily single all I got where like you're you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: you're opening up about stuff where you're like, don't listen
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: to this one, y'all, like skip over that one?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Like do you ever have this out on that?
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: I always get nervous anytime I play my music anytime,
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: really yes, because I'm burying my soul in the song.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: And it's like, okay, yeah, this is me. I don't
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: really show this. This is me.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: So it's like, I hope, you know, people will like it,
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: even the ones closest to me, Like I'll get nervous.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: I'll have my head down listening and looking up like this.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I love the relationship you have with your god brother
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: tu though, because you know.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: That you hear people say, oh, I'm the god mom,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I'm the god dad, but you don't see the godparents
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: really act like it. Yeah, like you really hold you
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: down like that? Has that always been the case?
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: It has Like she's the first person to show me
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: what unconditional love.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Truly looks like, Wow, wow, m anybody parents? I am
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: me too, but I don't act like it you got
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it entails. Like That's what I'm saying.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: When I see him together, I'm just like, if something
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: happens to you know, they will take over.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: Like I'm Halo's aunt, but I'm also his god mom.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: God's fitting for y'all though, because I don't know who
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: else is, Like you guys are the closest I've never
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: It's just it's y'all.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: I know she I would have been like, excuse me,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: why not the god home?
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: But it makes sense when you got a relationship when
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: somebody just labels you that and then you don't really
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: have a relationship with the child child, right, and then
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: something happened You're like, I don't know this person.
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: I think I have.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I think we all god parents on birthdays and holidays, right,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: You're not you don't say gifts at all.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what it means.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: That's why I said, when I see them, it's like,
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: oh okay, that's how it's supposed to be.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: It's supposed to be, like your backup angel. It's like,
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: you know, like you might need to call them for something.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: You might need to God Dad, I need some money.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: You might need to advice. It depends on I.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Like how you said, like the little backup guardian.
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: Like that's I think my god mom, who's also my
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: aunt as well too. It's my grandma's sister. But I
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: feel like we are like kindred spirits and it just
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: God made it that way, you know. But I have
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: a question for you about you mentioned like when you
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: play your music for people, when people hear your music,
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: you always get nervous.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: How do you deal with critiques?
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: Because I know John B came out and that was
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: like a whole thing when he said that you're gonna
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: song that you remade of his the what song was it?
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: The they don't know was ratchet and people were upset
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: at him for saying that, Like how did you feel
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: about that?
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: John B is an incredible artist. If that song didn't exist.
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: We couldn't sample it. So I love what Gunna and
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: I did to it.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: And you know, I'm sad he feels that way, but hey,
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: everyone has opinions.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: You also say he didn't it didn't get cleared. I
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: was like it had to get clear.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah that I did.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: You know who John B was before that?
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Of course, of course, just asking no, don't get on
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: they talk to me younger.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, it's like, no, I might not know everything.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: But no, it's really important to like listen to her
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: and trust like the youth and like she's so smart.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: What's your birthday?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: November twenty second?
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Are you a sad?
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I'm sad?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Sad?
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, okay.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: It don't have nothing to do with youth, claud It
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: has the fact she sometimes I'm not sure her people.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Just don't be knowing stuff. That's all. That's it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: Yes, but if she doesn't know something, we can't say
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: it's because of her youth.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, you just don't know that you got an informer. Yeah,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I get it. Yeah, it's just little things though, what.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Like what what you wanted to add? You wanted somebody
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: you know, we call.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: The t a queen. She didn't know it was Queen Latifa.
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: No, that's not true. He asked me, did I know
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: Queen Latifa's real name? That's what he asked me.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: That's not true.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: It started from Yeah, I didn't.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Know ls real name because I'm like, it's LLOKUJ, Like,
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: what do you mean?
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: That's That's those the things I think people should know.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: But that goes back to when we were younger.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: We had to read the album credit correct, like we
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: would watch the movies, watch the TV shows and look
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: at the end credits to see what people were doing.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: That I do miss I feel like that art is gone,
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: Like that's something that I would have appreciated.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Do you really feel like nice Girls finished last?
• 20:20
  Speaker 8: So I do feel that way, and in your case,
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: your wife did mhm.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Oh that's good.
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: That's what the song is about. That's what the song
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: is about, is.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: About face value. That was such a bad.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Don't let it fool you, don't let it don't.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: That's what the song is about.
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: Last man, we cater to the man and the nice
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: Girl finished his last and then we referenced Janet Jackson
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: at the end on the last line of the song.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: That's what the song is about. It was not.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Basically what you're saying, that women should speak up for
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: themselves more and if they're not getting what they.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Want, it's like a it's like a window.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you also are you also speaking like romantically
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: like sexually as well. That's that and yeah, because you
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: want to it's all about like pleasing your partner.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Sorry, it was not a stab.
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: It on YouTube the way she looked at in said.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: And that's what your wife found.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Somebody told me that he needs to use.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Side.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I want rolls over here.
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but that's what the song is about.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: That's what it's about, Okay.
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: Like taking the back seat and like not in your partner,
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: you know, as.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: A as a as a woman, like because one of
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: the things that I feel like i'm learning right now.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Is she's single, by the way I.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Am, and I'm enjoying.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: I can't there because I'm be having to throw stuff,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: but I've been enjoying it. And I will say though,
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: like one of the things I had to learn is
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: like how to take a back seat because I wasn't
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: just natural, like that wasn't in my household. But then
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: he made me forget everything I was about to say.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: As as a as a woman who you know, your
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: very career oriented, you have a lot going for yourself,
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: all that stuff, how do you deal with knowing when
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: to take the back seat and knowing when to be like, no,
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: I'm not doing that because you don't want to intimidate
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: the guy.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: That's a really great question.
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: So for me, I like to be babied a bit,
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: like because I am in a field where I do
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: have to lead and speak up for myself and you know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: command the room and everything. It's nice to be able
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: to come to a space that you're comfortable where you
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: can let that down. I feel like every woman wants
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: to protect her they just have to find the man
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: who can protect right. And I feel like that's when
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: we don't feel that way, that's when we feel like
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: we have to stick our chest out because it's like
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: fight or flight. But when we feel like someone is
• 23:15
  Speaker 8: capable enough to carry us, to shield us, you know,
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: when the storm gets crazy, that's when we kind of
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: take that backseat role. So it's really about who you
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: find comfortable being that vulnerable with.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I feel I agree.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: With that you so calm, really, yeah, you're right, you.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Ship, not the way she threw that envy.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: A gun for.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: I can't tell now, being that you are who you are,
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: claud do you really feel like fuck your status when
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: it comes to guys, because you got a song that
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: I'm called f.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Y your status? You really feel that way?
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Do you really feel like all I need is love,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: I don't need nothing else, money, your position, job?
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: Honestly, yes, we'll want someone with drive and someone who
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: has ambition so that we can build each other up.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: But I think.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: Being in a world where it's so superficial and everything
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: is based on what you have, what are you doing next?
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: This sometimes it gets a little suffocating and redundant. So
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: it's nice to just have someone who loves you just
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: for you, so.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: You would date like somebody that wasn't in the industry,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: got to drive youps or something.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: No, but someone not in the industry.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: But I think a lot of times too, when when
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: people ask that question, I mean it's like I get it,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: But like when people ask that question too, Like one
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: of the conversations people don't have is sometimes like when
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: finances aren't right, or like even just status right, Like
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: we could both be making the same money.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: But I'm more outward than you are.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: I've never come across the man that has been secure
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: enough in himself to be okay with that.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: And it causes.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Problems even if you don't bring them in. And that's
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: why women we kind of do that to protect ourselves sometimes.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: So I think it gets unfairly thrown on women. You're
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: very successful. It gets unfairly thrown on you when you say, oh,
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: I have a preference, but the preference sometimes a protect yourself.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: What would be wrong with a ups driver?
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: That's what somebody would say.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Everybody has a preference.
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: Nothing's wrong with the ups driver, nothing's wrong with them
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: at all. Would I date someone maybe? Maybe not, just
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: like everyone has a preference. They like a woman with
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: the big booty, they like a woman with tiny titties.
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: Everybody has a preference.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: You would date somebody short, though.
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: I would date someone who I'm the same height with
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: with heels on.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I've not known somebody who's kind of your height,
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: who we've seen them in photos together already?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Do you keep going back to.
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: Ask I'm asking you, would you like if today he's like,
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: we need to do this, would you lock in?
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: Is the is the relationship there where you guys are
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: friends enough. I understand you're just friends now, but you
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: guys are friends enough where you would be like, you
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: know what, I would explore this.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: I think we're both living like our own lives.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: You're so good at this, good at what the answers,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: your answers.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: I'm just being honest. Okay, go ahead, Yeah, we're just
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: living our own lives. You know.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Did you like his physical transformation?
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm really proud of him. It's always great when
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: someone transforms their life like that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You know, he did the right way, no surgery, no bbls.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: He looks great.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, were you asking her or telling her? Confused? Were
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: you confused when I told you?
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: What is your problem? Jesus Chris?
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: But I was gonna say you open the album. I
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: think it's all I got, But correct me if I'm wrong.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: And you talk about like there's like a guy who
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: he's like not the fall guy, but he's always there
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: for you, and he's always there for you in all
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: the right ways. But that's not the guy you like
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: or want to be with. But then there's this other guy,
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: like you have the this is the ideal guy, but
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: he doesn't know how to be for be there for
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: you in the same way.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: What's your experience been like with that?
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Like and how to ask which one is gonna That's
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: what she wants to ask.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: What inspired that song?
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: So?
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: What inspired the song? You guys love talking about him?
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: But inspired the song crazy?
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I hadn't read that, right, I literally didn't even say
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: it this time. I just was interested in that. Yeah,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I think every girl has that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: What inspired the song though, for me is that you
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: want to feel safe and secure, but then at the
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: same time you also want someone to push you out
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: of your comfort zone. So it's the catch twenty two
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: because we all just, oh, it's life, life be life.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: So you like the bad guy, You like the guy
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: that's gonna keep you secure in the safe back the ladder.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: The ladder men listen to your albums and like, like
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: like use it as a blueprint, Like should they use
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: it like how people use Steve Harvey books?
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Or is just the stuff you're writing? You really mean, like.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: They can if they would like to.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, yeah, you know, I mean.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: There might be some girls who have experienced things I've experienced.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: There might be not, But it was really fun, you know,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: just coming from such a stance of power as being
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: a woman and being in the islands, you know, just
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: looking out at the water as I'm creating this music.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: It was just something about it. It was just like
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: so you I did, Wow, I did.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: We had a villa, flew out producer.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Engineer and it was just so nice.
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: And every night we'd go out experience the music. I'd
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: go swimming, come back in record. It was just the
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: most freeing experience.
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: I did.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, so for Springs, So Springs, I was amazing. I
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: love it. It's so so cleansing.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: What's fun relaxed?
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: You like, like no work, Like on a day where
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: you're not working in Saint Lucia, You're not Chloe. You
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: just somebody that's there and like experience and have a
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: good time.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Like what are you?
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Are you the staying on the couch friend? You're the
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: spy friend? Like which one are you?
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: I'm the friend who has my bathing suit on and
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: my big baggy sweatpants and I go straight to the
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: beach and I lounge out there all day and I'll
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: eat good food or be on a boat and jump.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Off adventurous friend. Yes you adventurous friend.
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: I also read one time that you said you enjoy
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: acting because it helps train your brain, not the aim
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: for perfection. So have you been describing for perfection and
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: everything else that your career path, your personal life.
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: When it comes to performing and music, you kind of
• 29:22
  Speaker 8: have to you're only as good as your last performance,
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: and you know you rehearse for hours to make sure
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: the choreography is perfect. You make sure you can sing
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: the song perfectly so that it's like so you know,
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: for me, I just love acting as well because it's
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: like it taps into a piece of me where I
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: can be really raw and vulnerable and open. And when
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: you are channeling an actual human being, there's beauty in
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: the flaws.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: And how channeling.
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: How hard is it to try to chase perfection though, Like,
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: because I feel like you'll beat yourself up if you
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: don't feel like you're doing things perfectly.
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: You'll constantly it'll be like a endless cycle, like a
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: hamster and a wheel. And for me, there's so many
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: times I've done that, but it's like it'll be a
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: losing battle.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: So it's a catch twenty two as well, a.
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Lot because a lot of times that can lead to
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: like depression that can lead to like anxiety because you
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: think you're not doing things, you're.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Not doing enough.
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, of course, what was an experience that made you
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: like realize okay, Like I got to learn to step
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: off the wheel? Like do you remember a moment where
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: you're like, ooh, I'm hit in rock bottle right now?
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: I got to step off the wheel.
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: I think it was last year, and it was like
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: you know when you kind of go numb a bit
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: and you kind of nothing really phases you. Yeah, that's
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: when you're like, okay, I've lost feeling. How do I
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: get that back? You don't want to ever give up
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: to a point where you stop caring. So I'm happy
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: that my love and care has come back. But what
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: I really appreciate is how you constantly do talk about
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: mental health because it is important, and I feel like,
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: especially in the black community, it's overlooked or like it's
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: frowned upon sometimes, but more recently it hasn't been.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: But I think therapy is important.
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: I think, you know, talking to the people, your loved
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: ones so that you're not suffering or going through anything alone.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: I think all of that's important.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Did it help you get out that space like therapy and.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, for sure over here.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: God.
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you said a line one time, you said, people
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: who you think will be there for the rest of
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: your life, people who you think have your back through
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: and through, they have the knife Jesus Christ.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's life.
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: And I think what has been healthy for me is
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: knowing that everybody goes through kind of the similar thing.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: It kind of takes me out of the moment of
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: being like woe is me, Like of course I still do.
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: You know, I'll be like damn, and I'll allow myself
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: to feel but it's like, Okay, someone is going through
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: something similar. You're not alone, and it's like a Okay,
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: this is just life. And that's how I'll generalize it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: To keep pushing boundaries.
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: That's that's my big learning lesson. Right now, I'm getting there.
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: I'm getting there.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Where were you if you don't mind me asking what
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: was going on in your life at the time where
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: you had to step off the wheel and you got numb?
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Because I remember what I was going through specifically.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: It was a factor of things. It was a factor
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: of things. It's like I think there's always that little
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: cherry on top. Yeah, and it's like whoa.
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: But what is important is that you always continue to
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: get back up and having people who can help you
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: get back up.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: So I'm standing now there you go.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: How was it when you and Hoighy got back in
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the studio.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: It was amazing. We were in New York.
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: Actually, we had like a press event here and I
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: was like, seis okay, here's the verse.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: You like it? She's like I love it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: I was like come, She's like, okay, I'm bringing Halo
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: to the studio. He was there at the engineering board
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: with me, and she just sounded so beautiful and she
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: just pushed the record to be even more special.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: It's hard to get her to do anything other than nowadays.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: No, she is multifaceted, like she's doing so much. She's
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: been filming, taking care of Halo. Even when I was
• 33:07
  Speaker 8: filming in New Orleans, she came to visit me for
• 33:10
  Speaker 8: a weekend.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: Because I was like feeling lonely. So I was happy.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: I know you guys do your It is tea time.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: Yes, y'all started it back up and I saw Halo
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: was in one of them. What it is like because
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: you've always been close, but now she's a mom, so
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: she's experiencing different things. Is the relationship different now or
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: is it the same. But you just have to know
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: she's also a mom too, like.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: What was the what was that?
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: Like? In a really weird way, it's gotten stronger. Okay,
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: I can't explain it. It's just like I think because
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: we both have a deeper appreciation for life now, seeing
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: something so pure and innocent like that, it has made
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: our bond stronger.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Y'all women now, it's it's like a different level of womanhood.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: That's what I feel through this, this this project. That's
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: why I'm like you hear like, I'm happy for you.
