• 4:35
  Speaker 4: story my truth, you know what I'm saying, for them

• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, let me make my own group, you

  Speaker 4: in the family. But the rest of the kids, they
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: just kind of fell into it.

  Speaker 7: I think is it ever for you like when you're
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: I mean, I know you said you've heard all these
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: stories from your mom already, but when you're watching her
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: talking like you know, people are getting to learn her story.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: Is it surreal for you to watch people give your
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: mom her flowers?
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: I've really just enjoyed watching people give her her flowers.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: I think that she's overally deserving of her flowers, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: she also doesn't get them a lot.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: I think that she just recently, like received a bunch.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Of flowers, and I was like, maybe you've been supposed
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: to receiving those flowers. But I'm extremely excited to see
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: her received flowers every time that she does.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: During the Uncensored episode changed how you see your mom
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in any way.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: I want to say that. I want to say the
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: nice answer, but no, I wouldn't say so. Like me
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: and my mom are their best friends. We talk on
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: the phone for hours. I'm her favorite child, she told
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: me today. King is her favorite.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Child, battle of who's the favorite child? All of my
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: favorite at different times.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean I think that I just put
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: her on the top pedestal.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: So but she.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Knows me like a books talk like me. She knows,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: she knows how to finish my You knows I.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: Grew up together in essence, yeah, like you talking about well,
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: you know what I mean like you were figuring a
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: lot out with you when young. And in documentary you
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: talk about, you know how earlier days when you're on
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: the road with escape, how you kind of regret it,
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: kind of not being there a lot for your older children,
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: Like what are those conversations with you and Zonique now
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: as you look back on that.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Well now she kind of she she understands a little
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: more because she's a mom herself, since she sees like,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: you know, the difference and having to be gone and
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: being trying to get back to your kids. She's like, dang, okay,
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I understand a little bit more now because she she's
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: doing the same thing with her kids. She's on the road,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: she's moving, she's you know what I'm saying, trying to
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: keep the time in, but I could just say that,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: you know, even still, you know we've had those gaps.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: We are so close, you know what I'm saying. So
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: it's like whatever happened, then we made up for it
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: later on.
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: And I actually heard you, Zenique, you sat down with
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: reginading you was talking about that. You actually said that
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: you were like, yeah, you understand and what your mom
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: had to go through leaving y'all at such young ages
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: to go and pursue her career because now you have.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Your baby you want to roll with.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: How does that affect you because you and your daughter
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: are really close.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: We were just talking about that, Like I go crazy
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: when I be away from my child for a long time.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: But I think that.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Just having a kid just affected me in the most way,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Like I'm a totally different person. I show so much
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: more grace to my mom because I'm like other than
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: working and having a kid, like wanting to play and
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: have a kid, but I don't. I can't go outside
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: like I used to. And my mama is you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: the best, honey, But she's a work she's a working honey.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Her grandma name is honey. She won't she won't be
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: called grandma, but she's always you know, still working and
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: go on. So it's like I don't have that. I
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: don't have those babysitters and you know, they definitely helped,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: but it is me and a mom has just changed
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: me in so many different ways.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Question, I need grandparents.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: Is it true that grandparents treat the grandchildren differently than
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: they treated you?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Absolutely?
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: And the fact that she has a kid, that's I
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: mean her and my kid, aren't that that far partner
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: age Eras and Hunter, So we always joke about like
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: how different she is, like with air is supposed to
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: like us and King, Like she's just so soft now and.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Old ares It's okay.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: It's like she talked to Arrors but back when it
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: was me and King Like, oh, he's getting it. Like
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: it's a difference, like she's you know, I guess, but
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: as a not that I'm a parent, I can understand
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: like watching her grow not only as a person, but
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: as a parent as well.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: It's like she goes through different stages.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you don't have no real book, but
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: King was bad as child, you know what I'm saying.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So like we saw some of it. Yeah, I'm sure
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: not as much as y'all did, but we saw some
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of it. He was something, Yeah, but he has so
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: much personality.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: Talk about you talk a lot about that as well,
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: And you also talk a little bit about like blending
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: families when you and met each other and how it
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: wasn't that easy. Yeah, first, Yeah, it wasn't. Yeah, expln
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: a little bit, just a little bit on it. Why
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: why you think it wasn't that easy?
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Was it?
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: The other moms or I mean, because yeah, you gotta
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: you gotta deal with the other moms.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: You gotta respect, you know, the boundaries at some point,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: you know, to some degree also, and then you gotta
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: also run your house. So it's you know, but I
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: didn't have It was just you know, in the in
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: the beginning was issues, you know what I'm saying, just

  Speaker 4: trying to cope with having a woman, uh in the
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: house where now this is what it is, you know,
• 13:43

• 13:47
  Speaker 4: You know, never any issues really with the kids so much,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: just you know, just trying to figure out placements and everything.

  Speaker 3: you have issues.
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I was just gonna say we didn't really have issues,

• 14:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, I was the oldest and I was like

  Speaker 5: my stuff out of nowhere and now my mom had
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: just got me that game cube and I had to
• 14:17

  Speaker 1: Is that multiplied when your kids are in the spotlight?
• 14:35

  Speaker 5: like chronically.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Online, like I'm on there a lot.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: But like I've had times where I've spoken out and
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: a lot of times I regret it. I'm just like
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: I can't beat the whole internet.
• 19:53

• 19:58
  Speaker 5: with a little comment and say like if you see
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: you'll see me in the comments. But I don't say much,
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: you know. I step back from like speaking out every time.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: I just feel like people like have just love to
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: attack my mom. I don't know what that's about, but
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: it happens so much, and it's like I'd rather just
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: kind of stay out of it and just try not
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: to feel no way, because she don't never feel no way.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I was asked because you've been attacked since the group
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: first came out, So how do you deal with that
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: from then? Was it one of those things It's just like, yeah,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: it is what it is. How do you not get
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: it personal with it?
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I just I just don't. I mean, sometimes like I
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: used to get on that and I say little stuff,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: you know, if I feel like, you know, they were
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: just totally off with it, and I might.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Say, you know, fuck it, whatever, whatever, And.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Then I got to the point like why am I talking?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Like why am I saying something like? Because I really
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: don't give a damn you know what I'm saying. And
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: I just go through the comings sometimes every now and then,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: like when I see stuff about my kids, I might
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: feel feel away and I'd be one to tech type
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: and type is stuff and they were like, don't say
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: nothing like but they say.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: It's such such so said my Keith. And you know,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I just type paragraphs. I will, I.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Will then I have to erase it, or I just
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: say I'm just not gonna put it up because what
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: doesn't you know, why does it matter? You know, you
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: give the people with the that knows the less, you know,
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: why would I give them the most? You know what
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, most attention or when I know they don't
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: really know, you know what I'm saying now.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Also, you know during the Doctor well the episode, you
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: talk about how you were the recognizable person of escape
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: at first, and you were the one that couldn't go
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: to the mall and you were the one that couldn't
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: go out. Was there any jealousy back then about that
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: because you were.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I don't think so.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Like Candy, she loved the fact that she could go
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: places and nobody know her. She loved that and them
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: because she was like, I'm stop going places with you
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: because now they know who I am. She liked moving
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: around and nobody know her and nobody and you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Tasha was very recognizable as well. So I don't think
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: it was any jealousy with that or not with that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: But well, no, we don't speak.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I still got a little Patasha, but we don't speak
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: because I am you know, I'm over here, you know
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: So I just try to keep it clean.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: On toy ya, I don't speak of nothing when I
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: go out.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Well, she's not on you know, she's not with the
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: group right now, with the group, so we just you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: I just we parted ways, and I just I don't
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: want to go back and forth. I don't want to
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: be you know what I'm saying, it's just missycied.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Maybe you know what they say, never say never.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: Earlier in the escape days, right, what I noticed she
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: talked about like how the sisters were Latasha and Timmyka.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: They were very in sync, couldn't make a decision individually,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: they were always doing things together. Did you ever feel
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: like it was like a strain on that, like two
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: against two?
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was definitely. It was always it was it
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: was a headache.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: I ain't gonna lie, you know, because whether they were
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: wrong or right to.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Meet and not.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: And most of the time it was like just Tamika
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: going She may know that it's not the right thing,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: but she's just like, uh, that's my sister, so yeah,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I'm going over here.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And like you know, like it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Was a time when we had decided Tasha was like
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I'm going solo, and we had got with Tamika was like, hey, we're.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: Just gonna go home without her.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: We're gonna go to Jamain and we're gonna tell Jamaine
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: this is what we're doing. You know what I'm saying,
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: so we get to the meeting, Tasha's there first of all,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: when she when they got there, me and Kenny knew
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: we was in trouble because they came in there with
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: the same hair. They had a black hair with a
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: streak of gray in their hair in different ways, but
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: they had the same hair.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Said oh, here.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: We got in that meeting, and we're like, yeah, we're
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: telling Jermaine. Yeah, so we we were trying to go
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: she going solo, were trying to do the group with,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: you know, just the three. So he like, yeah, y'all
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: think y'all can do that. To me, it was like, well,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: I don't think we can do it without her. And
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: we're like looking at her, like what how did this happen?
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: We were just you know, she was like, yeah, I
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: think we should wait on my sister and Blazing were
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: like to Mika, we just had this conversation. We had
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: this whole mining set up, and you can come in
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: here and say you don't think we can go on
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: without her. We were so just devastated, like disgusted, like how.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Did she just flip on us?
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: But you know, she got with her sister and you know,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: they talked her into no, you you know, just wait
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: on your sister's your sister.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, And that's what she did.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Dying.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Well, we didn't kick her out, unlet's just this, you know,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: clear that up. We just separated. We parted ways because.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: We couldn't, I guess the business wise, we could not
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: work with you know how she wanted to work. She
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: has her her husband who basically does all her work
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: and you know the other girls, and I didn't want
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: to work with him because of past things that did
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: not go well and were not up to par. So
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: you know, we had came up with, hey, we gotta
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: keep him out the business and we can get a
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: new management. But that still didn't work, you know what
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. We tried that and he you know, it
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: was still the management took to him like, like I said,
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: he has to give the gap, like you know what
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. He's a cool dude. So they took to him.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: They were talking to him a lot. And even though
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: they were the phase they were telling.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Us, we knew what was behind that, you know what
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: I'm saying.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: So it was just like it's just not working and
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: you know, in order or too for us, we just
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: got to move home without you, you know what I'm saying.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: And it took you know, it was a it was
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: a hard decision, but we had to make it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: Where's tashing to Meka's relationship now? Like I know they
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: were trying to rekindle a little bit, or like where
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: did they.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Leave off with that?
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't really want to speak on where
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: their relationship is because I don't really know.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I mean I talked to it to me all the time,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: and I don't. She never really speaks about you know.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Oh she was with her sister. They was talking like
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: so I don't know if it is much of a relationship.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, but possibly could be.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You said something earlier I thought was though.
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: You said, you got a lot more of your story
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: to tell, so you don't have to do like a
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: Bonnie and Clyde type thing with Tip. And it's funny,
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: right because I love that because it shows how y'all
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: move as a unit always. Is it even possible to
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: tell your story with tip because you got a lot
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: of your own accomplishments?
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it is possible to tell, but I
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: don't know, maybe not, maybe not, maybe not because you know,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: he's a very big, intricate part of my story, so
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: probably not.
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: How did you feel to see him with a new
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: hit record after all these.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Year record like amazing?
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: And I mean to be honest, like he has a
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: whole album with that, like the album is crazy, like
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: but he won't stop making songs and he keeps making.

• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Are y'all enjoying this moment more? Because and no reason
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I ask that, because you know, I don't know.
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: People remember there was a time with t I was

• 28:06
  Speaker 1: You're more present for it?
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Now, I think we're enjoying it more.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Now because you know, he's independent and he's just doing
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: everything in his way.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: And back then it was just so.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: Much ripping him running, ripping him running, And now he's like, yeah,
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: you know, he's very much in control of everything he's doing.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Not to say that he wasn't then, but you know,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: with the label, it kind of like have you going?
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: So you know, to see him do it without a
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: label is amazing. I think it's a greater accomplishment.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: But how did he end up making you fall for him?
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: Because at first you did not like him, Like you said,
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: he was young, he was getting on your nerves.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: He was just like what do this little boy want?
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: And then you ended up going to a show. But
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: what actually really made you fall for him?
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: He was sweet, he was nice, he was you know,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: he was you know, he was cool. He was he
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: was a I like the hood and this and him.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: I loved his talk. I loved Twain. His accent was
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: very heavy, like he don't really have that accent. I
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: always say that, like where's your where's that accent? From
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: listened to his first album versus now, Like he's very
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: worldly now, And I mean I get it because she's
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: been all around the world.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: But I still love that accent that he had. But
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: you know, it was cute. He was young and he
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: was I don't know, he just he wouldn't stop.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Honestly, you know, he was really prison and I just
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: kind of when I honestly, when I set a show up,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: it's like, Yo, these people like this guy, and they
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: they knew everywhere in the place. I don't know if
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: you've ever been to the bank head bank are Bounce,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: but it's a now it's called the Bank and you
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: know it might have been there, but it's huge. It's
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: full of people, and they was singing everywhere. I didn't
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: know one song.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: Him.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: I mean I heard of him through I had went
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: and met with KP and y'all know, yeah, and KP
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: was like, I was playing him. So I went to
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: go play him some records that I was writing and stuff,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: and he was like, hey, I got this kid and
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: I'm working on and he was like, to let you
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: hear some of the stuff, and he played me some
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: of the stuff. I was like, dope, you know what
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. Then later I put the two together. So yeah,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: but I didn't know I didn't know his music.
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: What era was this was this dope boys in the
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: trap fanty popping number one, do it baby, sticky baby?
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: That was that era.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: And then you he you went from not liking him
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: at all to him so you falling for him.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And then you said he didn't want you.
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: To work, and you, being who you you know are
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: who you were at that time, You're like, nah, because
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: I got responsibilities, I got my family, my mother and
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: all that, and he like, I'm gonna do that for you. Yeah,
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: but but you you let it happen. But then you
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: say that kind of hurts you a little bit too.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It wasn't the smartest thing, was it was.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: It was cool because he was showering me, He paid
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: paid off my mama house. He did a lot of
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: things and game. You know, I had costs, I had
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: whatever I wanted. But you know, now all this came
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: with a price. You know what I'm saying, It's like okay,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: because now when they wanted to go do whatever they
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: want to do, you just stuck here like okay, and
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: then you don't have nowhere to go. You just gotta
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: be there when.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: They get back. Like I ain't like that. I was like, Nah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: this ain't for me, This ain't who I am. I am.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: I used to running things, getting up moving when I
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: want to, like cause I make my own money, you know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: So I had to.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I had to real back, you know, get back into
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: who I am.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying and going on because you know,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: and and that took that broke us up.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: He was like, hey, you're gonna do that.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: I can't have it, Like, well, forget it, I'm going
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: you know, But it didn't work out right, It had
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: to come back. But then when I came back, I
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: was still like, yeah, I'm still going to work on
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: something to get me some money I did.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: How did you get a TV show?
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Nice?
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: How did y'all get to that point?
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: What what was the work he had to do to
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: really get you back committed? Like all right, I told
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: you I'm not gonna let you take care of me.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna be independent. But what were the things that
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: he had to work on for you to be comfortable
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: enough to come back just off.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Like that?
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: No, it's not coming on.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: It was running before I got in here.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: I know it was gonna be doing all this, But
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: when something just you know, adapting to me getting back
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: into you know, into who I was, you know, and
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: you know I had to let him know like I was.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: You know, this is this is why you liked me,
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, because I was doing something.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: I was somebody and so you taking if I take
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: that away, if I let you you know what I'm saying, dummy,
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: that down, I'm not gonna be able to be the
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: person you want me to be for real, you know.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: And eventually, and it took that took that took a
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: minute two for him to kind of get used to it,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: because you know, he's, uh, you know, he's like, you
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: want to take care of everything. He wants to be
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: the man and everything, and I and I had to
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: find a way to let him still do that but
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: also be able to do me right.
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: But then ultimately you become like you kind of I
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: don't want to say, step into your ultimate role, but
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: that's what he be feeling, like you see your woman.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Become such an amazing wife, mother of the children, CEO
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: of the house.
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: Like that's the most important role that a person could
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: play in a mad life.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: I think, yeah, true, And you know, we start making
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: these babies, I guess he had to see like yeah,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: you know, he see.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: He could see different things, and.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: I just had to have it, Like at the end
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: of the day, I had I had to have that
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: And you talk about when you talked about, you know,
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: having to have something for yourself and then going back
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: to the group of figuring that out the tough times
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: and like then you get into, you know, with the
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: times when you said, I'm not doing this anymore because
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: he wasn't fighting for the relationship, But you don't really say,
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: like what did you want his fight to look like?
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: Like what was he not doing that made you say
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: I'm a file for the worst?
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: He wasn't, you know, and like he wanted to be there,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: and if I'm not gonna be anywhere, I'm not wanted
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So if you know and
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: I and I know what that feels like. Because he's
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: he's a very affectionate person, you know what I'm saying.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: He's a liber so he knows how to get you
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. He knows how to get that
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: out there. So when I when I seen that, it
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: wasn't that I was like, yeah, it's time to go
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: you know that. And you know if I kept trying, like,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: you know, putting it out there a little bit, and
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: he's shouldn't the dough on it? Nah, I gotta go,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, because I just say, I
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: ain't trying to be noble.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm not wanting.
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: There was another part in the in the documentary to
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: talking about like the babies in the Family, where you
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: talked about jermainea pre telling you that you shouldn't have
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: your baby when you were pregnant here.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, and I guess I think in
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: the music industry he was just being you know, the
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: producer and the guy.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: The hit, the lead, the head over what you know.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Back in the day, it was kind of like it
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: was TABOOI like, you know, you have a baby, your
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: career is over, you know.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: What I'm saying.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: And uh, you know, in his defense, we hadn't we
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: hadn't even started yet, we had created this album and
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: then you know, we hadn't put anything out, so it's like, oh.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: You can't have no baby nown we about to put
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: an album out, you know what I'm saying.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: And I and I didn't have the girls was like yeah, well,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: that's what he said, you know, And so I didn't
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: really have much of a fight there.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Then when your band members have one right after and
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: she had.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: A baby, she did, she had went right after and
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: I promised you, I was like trying to get pregnant
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: daily after that, and I'm like, I'm having me a baby.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: And then right after that I got a little bit
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: after that, I did get pregnant.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was not a mistake.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: It was a blessing in disguise, because if I would
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: have had that baby, I wouldn't have this baby.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: So, you know, did you ever have a conversation with
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: JD about that, Like, did it hurt you? Did it
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: bother you?
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: No, I'm gonna be honest, I didn't. I mean, I
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: wanted that baby, but it didn't hurt me so much
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: because I was young and I didn't really understand as much.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: And I did make a healthy career and then I
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: had and then I went and had a baby. You know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: So I was able to get both, you know what
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. I was able to have a career that
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: took me, you know, basically made my dreams come true.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: And then I had my first child.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Your man was trying to do a movie about escape
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: without y'all.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Right, Unfortunately, yes.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Conversation.

• 37:20
  Speaker 3: of a coming.

• 37:23
  Speaker 4: I just want to tell the story because y'all went
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: I never thought y'all were gonna get back together, and
• 37:28

• 37:57
  Speaker 4: I initially caught Candy and we It's like, okay, how
• 38:01

• 38:03
  Speaker 4: I gotta call to Mika. Not she was like, well,

• 39:53
  Speaker 5: was a little worried, like, oh, how are they going
