4:50
Speaker 1: two parent household in Detroit.
4:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, well okay, let me just break it all down
4:55
Speaker 3: from the very beginning.
4:56
Speaker 2: Yes, please.
4:56
Speaker 3: Basically, both of my parents are from like one of
4:59
Speaker 3: the worst arts in Detroit, right mom, I'm from Brama
5:03
Speaker 3: as well, but I moved out of there, like they
5:05
Speaker 3: we moved by the time. Like all I remember really
5:09
Speaker 3: is our new home. But like everyone thinks like, oh,
5:13
Speaker 3: they left the hood and they're like in this glamorized
5:19
Speaker 3: neighborhood whatever.
5:19
Speaker 2: It was not like that.
5:20
Speaker 3: We just got into like a little better, a little
5:23
Speaker 3: better situation, you know what I mean.
5:25
Speaker 2: So yeah, so we just lived life. Everyone was just.
5:34
Speaker 3: I guess I'm gonna just call it normal because like
5:36
Speaker 3: that's all I know.
5:37
Speaker 2: Like it was just normal.
5:38
Speaker 3: But like everyone's like, oh, you you got out of
5:43
Speaker 3: the hood and like you're rich and all of this.
5:46
Speaker 2: Like no, like we were.
5:47
Speaker 1: Still like struggling, Like what were your parents doing for work.
5:50
Speaker 2: My mom was a nail tech.
5:52
Speaker 3: Oh no, she didn't do that, but she my nails
5:57
Speaker 3: like since I was younger, Like I was freaking four
6:00
Speaker 3: years old with like my nails and toes all stoned out,
6:03
Speaker 3: like my mom. Really, I got to show you some
6:05
Speaker 3: of her way because you see my nails when.
6:07
Speaker 2: I walked in. I gotta show you, Okay, But yeah,
6:09
Speaker 2: so she did.
6:10
Speaker 3: Nails and she was really the one that was putting
6:13
Speaker 3: food on the table.
6:14
Speaker 1: I was about to say, what'd your dad do?
6:16
Speaker 2: Well, he was just I guess you would call it
6:20
Speaker 2: like a stead home dad.
6:23
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but like he would just.
6:25
Speaker 3: Take care of the whole family because like my grandma
6:27
Speaker 3: was sick, just like taking care of my younger sibling.
6:31
Speaker 2: Like that's basically what he did.
6:34
Speaker 3: Like he's really he's really like Superman for real, because
6:38
Speaker 3: like me and my mom fast forward, me and my
6:41
Speaker 3: mom had to like go on the road for my career,
6:44
Speaker 3: and she just dropped her career for me.
6:47
Speaker 1: Like, so before we get into that, how old were
6:50
Speaker 1: you when you started showing signs of this is what
6:52
Speaker 1: I wanted to.
6:54
Speaker 2: I was five.
6:55
Speaker 1: You were five? And where did this influence come from?
6:59
Speaker 2: My parents would like just play music around me all
7:01
Speaker 2: the time.
7:03
Speaker 3: So I grew up listening to music all different types, okay,
7:06
Speaker 3: Like and it's crazy, like my dad listens to country music,
7:10
Speaker 3: or he'll listen to like hip hop or like pop,
7:13
Speaker 3: and then my mom listened to like Biggie and Tupac
7:17
Speaker 3: and freaking bob Ce. Like it was like a variety
7:21
Speaker 3: of all different sounds me growing up. So like, you
7:24
Speaker 3: play any song right now, I'm probably gonna know it, okay.
7:27
Speaker 1: But yeah, and.
7:28
Speaker 3: Then they would like play around in the studio because
7:30
Speaker 3: they had like friends who did music and stuff like that.
7:33
Speaker 3: They would play around and like make their own songs
7:36
Speaker 3: just to listen to themselves. Like they didn't want to
7:38
Speaker 3: become like no big time rapper, but so they would
7:41
Speaker 3: just make songs and listen to themselves. And then I
7:44
Speaker 3: had ended up doing a talent show in elementary school.
7:48
Speaker 3: I was in kindergarten, and so they like wrote me
7:52
Speaker 3: a rap for me to do, and I did the
7:55
Speaker 3: talent show and everybody in the audience was like just
7:58
Speaker 3: screaming my name because like there was a part of
8:00
Speaker 3: the song and I'm like rock with Brook or something.
8:03
Speaker 3: I don't remember the song but everyone had to like
8:07
Speaker 3: chant my name. And once I heard that and I
8:09
Speaker 3: was on that stage, like that was the moment that
8:11
Speaker 3: I knew, like I need to be on a stage
8:13
Speaker 3: for the rest of my life, Like I need to
8:15
Speaker 3: be doing this. I love entertaining people, whether it's like
8:19
Speaker 3: me making music or me dancing or acting or anything
8:22
Speaker 3: or just being funny, Like I just love entertaining people.
8:25
Speaker 1: Okay, So they start to see at five and in
8:29
Speaker 1: elementary school that well, I'm sure they were in the
8:32
Speaker 1: audience when that happened, right, Did they have that epiphany too,
8:36
Speaker 1: that something was magical just happened.
8:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
8:39
Speaker 3: I mean my mom always tells me, like, I know
8:42
Speaker 3: you're gonna be a star. That's why my name's you, Brooklyn,
8:44
Speaker 3: and I'm just like, okay, girl. But yeah, so she
8:49
Speaker 3: said she always knew that I was going to be
8:51
Speaker 3: doing something like entertainment wise, and that's what I do.
8:55
Speaker 1: So then what's the next steps from you being experiencing that?
8:59
Speaker 1: Are you starting to have conversation with your parents about
9:01
Speaker 1: what you want to be when you grow up? Oh?
9:04
Speaker 3: No, it was basically just like my mom would have
9:08
Speaker 3: me rap in on like Instagram and stuff, okay, or
9:11
Speaker 3: like Facebook, I.
9:12
Speaker 2: Guess on her page. And then I had actually made
9:15
Speaker 2: a real song when I was eight. She was like,
9:17
Speaker 2: you want to go to the studio, and I'm like, yeah,
9:20
Speaker 2: let's go.
9:21
Speaker 3: So I go to studio and I make my first
9:23
Speaker 3: song and I don't even remember what the song was.
9:27
Speaker 2: Oh I do remember.
9:28
Speaker 3: Actually there's a group from Detroit called Doughboy's cash Out
9:34
Speaker 3: and my uncle was in the group and they had
9:36
Speaker 3: like one of the biggest songs in Detroit and it's
9:39
Speaker 3: called Goodass Day. And I remade it for my eighth
9:44
Speaker 3: birthday party so I can perform at my own birthday party.
9:47
Speaker 3: And so I make the song or whatever, and that
9:50
Speaker 3: was like the first song that I had made.
9:51
Speaker 2: Actually in the studio.
9:53
Speaker 3: So then fast forward, that's like I make a few
9:57
Speaker 3: other songs whatever, and then I get with the label
10:02
Speaker 3: and because my mom like.
10:03
Speaker 2: Did the.
10:04
Speaker 3: Label CEO's wife's Nails, So I get with the label
10:08
Speaker 3: or whatever, and they just invited me out to Florida

10:16
Speaker 3: and they're like, yeah, you can come and like see
10:18
Speaker 3: what it is to be in the studio stuff like that.
10:21
Speaker 3: So we go and I was just there like, Okay,

Speaker 3: this is fun, like seeing other people work in the studio,
10:28
Speaker 3: you know, like just get in the field of everything.

10:44

10:46
Speaker 3: wanted to watch the show. And so they were like, okay,
10:50

10:51
Speaker 2: And they called me.

13:12
Speaker 1: And you're like, hell yeah. Now at the time, you're
13:15
Speaker 1: around adults. There's no kids around, so there's literally nothing
13:18
Speaker 1: fun going on.
13:20
Speaker 3: There was one kid who sorry, there was one all
13:25
Speaker 3: the listeners, there was one kid and he was like
13:29
Speaker 3: a year older than me. It's like we would do
13:33
Speaker 3: some fun stuff, but normally it was just work, Like
13:36
Speaker 3: we would just be working.
13:39
Speaker 1: And it would just be you guys, adults in the studio.
13:42
Speaker 1: That's a lot of lotteries.
13:43
Speaker 2: No it's not I I promise that.
13:49
Speaker 1: Guess the shame just now with them.
13:51
Speaker 2: I promise it's not a lot.
13:53
Speaker 1: I'm trusting you because I never cooked the tackle me
13:56
Speaker 1: without taco seasoning, So learn teach me.
13:58
Speaker 3: I just don't like the flavor of taco seasoning, Like
14:03
Speaker 3: something is wrong. Yeah, like I used to eat it
14:05
Speaker 3: with I was younger, but growing up, like I just realized,
14:09
Speaker 3: like EO, this shit is nasty.
14:10
Speaker 1: Then why is the taco packet sauce so important to you?
14:13
Speaker 2: Then? Because it's the sauce, the Taco Bell sauce.
14:17
Speaker 3: Like growing up we didn't have like we might not
14:21
Speaker 3: have had like the guacamo lee and the lettuce and
14:24
Speaker 3: all that.
14:24
Speaker 2: It was just meat and cheese.
14:25
Speaker 3: So when we would go like to Taco Bell, we
14:28
Speaker 3: would ask for the package and we keep them in
14:32
Speaker 3: like a drawer at the house.
14:33
Speaker 2: To this day, we still have taco like.
14:35
Speaker 1: Taco We hurt you with that. I'm sorry, it's okay,
14:39
Speaker 1: it's okay, but I thought it was an interesting request.
14:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like the mild sauce, the hot sauce whatever.
14:45
Speaker 1: So it's just the sauces, yes, Like okay, it's just
14:48
Speaker 1: the sauce, not trying to derail this story. So she
14:51
Speaker 1: comes to you. She says, hey, eleven year old ju,
14:53
Speaker 1: is this what you want to sign up for the
14:55
Speaker 1: rest of your life? And you say hell to the yes, Yes, okay,
15:01
Speaker 1: So then what happens next?
15:03
Speaker 3: So then I'm just like this kid internet sensation and
15:07
Speaker 3: then I end.
15:08
Speaker 2: Up going on the road, going on tour.
15:11
Speaker 1: Ooh, back up, It wasn't that overnight, was it.
15:15
Speaker 2: You know how they say things don't happen overnight.
15:18
Speaker 3: This actually like when I posted my first song, like
15:22
Speaker 3: it literally happened overnight. Like the views were just coming
15:25
Speaker 3: in and coming in and coming in, and you know,
15:29
Speaker 3: it was crazy because it's like all these people want
15:32
Speaker 3: to watch me, Like, yeah, you don't. I wasn't expecting
15:35
Speaker 3: it to happen like that fast, but it actually happened
15:38
Speaker 3: that fast.
15:39
Speaker 1: Now do you think your parents were prepared for that
15:42
Speaker 1: type of turnaround?
15:43
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
15:44
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone was prepared, but okay, I just
15:48
Speaker 3: think like they were like, Okay, we're just gonna put
15:51
Speaker 3: this little girl in the studio.
15:52
Speaker 2: We'll see what she can do. Okay, And then like
15:54
Speaker 2: they've seen what I could do, and like just went crazy.
15:58
Speaker 2: After that. So when I mean I went on tour.
16:00
Speaker 3: I went on a radio run and I was just
16:03
Speaker 3: promoting like all my songs or whatever, and then the
16:07
Speaker 3: views just kept going and going and going.
16:09
Speaker 2: So we're like, okay, we'll do a we'll do a tour.
16:13
Speaker 2: I did.
16:14
Speaker 3: Let me think, I don't know if I signed before
16:17
Speaker 3: I went on tour.
16:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I signed.
16:20
Speaker 1: I'm sure someone tried to capitalize.
16:22
Speaker 3: I signed with the label that I went down to
16:24
Speaker 3: Florida with and then we did a rock Nation tour.
16:29
Speaker 1: Okay.
16:30
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I was.
16:30
Speaker 3: Performing at the House of Blues like in Houston and Chicago,
16:36
Speaker 3: like and all my dates were sold out, all my
16:39
Speaker 3: tour days. Mind you, I'm twelve and all my tour
16:41
Speaker 3: dates are like sold out. So we're like, wait, this
16:45
Speaker 3: is kind of crazy. But whole time, I'm just like,
16:48
Speaker 3: so that's.
16:48
Speaker 1: What the vegetable oil was for. Okay, you teach me
16:50
Speaker 1: how to cook, Okay, go ahead.
16:52
Speaker 3: So whole time, I'm just like, this is just fun.
16:55
Speaker 3: I'm traveling and I get to perform my song to
16:57
Speaker 3: like all these little kids who loved me.
17:00
Speaker 2: So it was just I don't know, it was normal.
17:02
Speaker 2: It was fun.
17:03
Speaker 3: What was the money looking like, that's where we get
17:06
Speaker 3: into some deep shit right there.
17:08
Speaker 1: So this is where the tip of the roller coaster
17:11
Speaker 1: just go down.
17:12
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:12
Speaker 1: So and your mom is she full time at this point?
17:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's a full time.
17:17
Speaker 1: But so who's paying for everything? Because your dad is
17:20
Speaker 1: not managing the family.
17:22
Speaker 2: Right rather than the label was paying for it.
17:24
Speaker 3: But the label had put me with a manager and
17:29
Speaker 3: he was just like the worst ever. At first, it
17:31
Speaker 3: was great, like I felt like I attached to him
17:35
Speaker 3: and his wife like we were family whatever, and so
17:39
Speaker 3: like the tour, going on tour, this is when like
17:42
Speaker 3: I ended up falling out with my manager and his
17:45
Speaker 3: wife is because he didn't want me to perform the song.
17:50
Speaker 2: That started me like being an artist on my tour.
17:54
Speaker 1: The one that got you over seventy million views overnight.
17:57
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, the one I said I made for
17:59
Speaker 3: my Okay, so mind you, I didn't. I wasn't performing
18:04
Speaker 3: this song in any other city when I went home.
18:09
Speaker 3: It was my birthday show on the tour. So I'm like,
18:12
Speaker 3: let me perform my birthday song.
18:14
Speaker 1: And you're Detroit NATed with a Detroit song, right exactly?
18:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, so I'm like, let me perform it.
18:19
Speaker 3: He wouldn't perform. I mean, he wouldn't let me perform it.
18:21
Speaker 3: He wouldn't let none of my family come backstage. He
18:24
Speaker 3: wouldn't let my family into the venue. Like it was
18:27
Speaker 3: really bad.
18:27
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know.
18:29
Speaker 1: Where how old was this guy?
18:31
Speaker 2: He was old as hell? He was Like.
18:34
Speaker 1: How did he get that much? Say so as a
18:36
Speaker 1: manager though.
18:38
Speaker 2: I don't know.
18:38
Speaker 3: But mind you, my mom this is new to us,
18:41
Speaker 3: so it's not like she knew what was going on
18:43
Speaker 3: and like finding out after we left him, finding out like, wait,
18:50
Speaker 3: my YouTube makes money?
18:52
Speaker 2: Where I putting out this video that.
18:54
Speaker 1: Got finding out? You guys didn't know.
18:56
Speaker 2: No, we didn't know. I didn't know that YouTube made money.
18:59
Speaker 1: So did your parents either, No, they saw all those views,
19:02
Speaker 1: but you knew how many views it was getting. Yeah,
19:04
Speaker 1: so wait back up. This is the thing that scares
19:06
Speaker 1: me about the industry right here, because people always come
19:09
Speaker 1: up to me and my daughter and they always like,
19:10
Speaker 1: put her in the industry, And I'm like, there's something
19:12
Speaker 1: that goes on when you have a young kid in
19:14
Speaker 1: the industry where at some point management or something intervenes
19:18
Speaker 1: and they separate the parents from the child.
19:23
Speaker 2: That's what was Like they were trying to do.
19:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like they would be in my ear like
19:28
Speaker 3: this is when like I'm on tour for like radio
19:31
Speaker 3: ones and be in my ear and they'll be like yeah,
19:34
Speaker 3: like when you start making money, like don't give any
19:36
Speaker 3: to your mom, like that's yours, Like she shouldn't be
19:39
Speaker 3: getting anything. They would like try to just take me
19:43
Speaker 3: and leave my mom home, like tell my mom like
19:46
Speaker 3: in her ear, like, oh, you need to go home,
19:48
Speaker 3: like with your husband and your other kids, like just
19:50
Speaker 3: leave her with us.
19:51
Speaker 2: No, no, thank you, We're not doing that.
19:53
Speaker 1: You did your mom say that?
19:56
Speaker 2: Yeah? She said no for sure, Like.
19:58
Speaker 1: There was never part a time where she release the reins.
20:01
Speaker 2: No, my mom never left me, like since I turned.
20:07
Speaker 3: Eighteen was the like recently the first time that my
20:11
Speaker 3: mom didn't go with me out of town. Like now
20:15
Speaker 3: that I'm older, I can travel you know by myself
20:17
Speaker 3: and things like that, but like she never left my side, Okay,
20:20
Speaker 3: and I'm glad she didn't because God knows what.
20:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, you never know.
20:31
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. It happens with the boys too,
20:33
Speaker 1: but they don't tell you know. If you look at
20:35
Speaker 1: the history of like mindless behavior, be two k.
20:40
Speaker 2: Like when I was younger. I opened up for them
20:43
Speaker 2: their concert.
20:44
Speaker 1: Oh really which one mindless wer b two.
20:46
Speaker 2: K mindless behavior.
20:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever happened. But a lot of those kids, a
20:50
Speaker 1: lot of bad stuff happens because the parents like aren't there.
20:55
Speaker 1: Look at Justin Bieber happened to him, Like they just
20:57
Speaker 1: release and let go. But I I think it happens
21:00
Speaker 1: more so to the boys than the girls for some
21:03
Speaker 1: shrage reason. People just I guess think the little boys
21:06
Speaker 1: are safe, but they're usually not exactly so at this show,
21:10
Speaker 1: is that the moment where your parents and you start
21:15
Speaker 1: to say something's wrong with this management team, when they
21:17
Speaker 1: start to just say they don't allow your parents to
21:20
Speaker 1: come backstage and all that.
21:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's crazy is after that show happened, we never
21:24
Speaker 3: talked to them ever again, like ever, Like they just
21:27
Speaker 3: cut all communication. So it's like, okay, now we have
21:30
Speaker 3: to get into my YouTube channel and all of this
21:32
Speaker 3: through the label. And then that's when we figure out like, oh,
21:36
Speaker 3: I was making money whole time. My manager had put
21:40
Speaker 3: like his bank information in and shit like that in
21:44
Speaker 3: the back end of YouTube, so it was all going
21:47
Speaker 3: to him.
21:48
Speaker 1: So you actually get the log and you start to
21:50
Speaker 1: see how much money he's making. Now at the time,
21:53
Speaker 1: how much money were you making in comparison to how
21:55
Speaker 1: much he was making.
21:57
Speaker 2: I wasn't making anything.
21:59
Speaker 1: And he but wait, when you were on tour, you
22:01
Speaker 1: weren't making anything.
22:02
Speaker 2: I mean, they didn't give me no money.
22:07
Speaker 1: This man tells you, hey, what do you make money?
22:10
Speaker 1: Don't give it to your parents? And the whole time
22:13
Speaker 1: he had.
22:13
Speaker 3: The whole time I was making money, but he was
22:16
Speaker 3: taking it. Yeah, to the point like we're on we're
22:20
Speaker 3: on the road like for tour, and I'm wondering, Like
22:23
Speaker 3: when I first met them, you know, they were wearing
22:26
Speaker 3: like Target outfits, Target T shirts, stopping at Target, and
22:30
Speaker 3: now we're stopping at Chanel.
22:32
Speaker 2: But they're leaving me and my mama in a car
22:33
Speaker 2: while they're going into Chanelle buying bags and shit. And
22:35
Speaker 2: I'm like, no way.
22:39
Speaker 3: We were just you know, at Target, buying Target underwear
22:42
Speaker 3: and now we're at Chanelle.
22:44
Speaker 1: And are you and your mom like financially kind of
22:47
Speaker 1: being frugal at the time to make things work because
22:50
Speaker 1: she gave up your job or.
22:52
Speaker 2: I mean, like we would, okay, we would.
22:54
Speaker 1: Get like You're like, I don't like that stove.
22:57
Speaker 2: It was not working. We would get what is it
23:00
Speaker 2: called perms? You know what that is?
23:01
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, so.
23:04
Speaker 3: It was just looking back, it's all janky. It's so
23:07
Speaker 3: janky now that I'm realizing telling the story. We would
23:11
Speaker 3: get per diems and I think we would get like
23:14
Speaker 3: fifty dollars a day for like food or something. Maybe
23:18
Speaker 3: it was one hundred whatever, but it's coming from the label,
23:22
Speaker 3: going to my manager then coming to us.
23:24
Speaker 2: So he would.
23:24
Speaker 3: Pocket twenty five of the fifty off of each of
23:27
Speaker 3: my mom, me and my mom, so then he would
23:31
Speaker 3: so he would take that and we would only get
23:32
Speaker 3: like twenty five dollars each to eat every day.
23:37
Speaker 1: And I'm guessing your parents probably thought this is like
23:39
Speaker 1: what the normal role to success is, right, Yeah, because
23:42
Speaker 1: even though even though you are selling out shows and
23:46
Speaker 1: have over seventy million views in millions of followers on social.
23:50
Speaker 2: Media, yeah crazy.
23:54
Speaker 1: So did the record label when did the record label
23:56
Speaker 1: find out all this was happening.
23:58
Speaker 3: Once we parted ways with the Innager? It is when
24:01
Speaker 3: they found out because like the CEO of the label,
24:04
Speaker 3: like he just trusted the guy and like, you know,
24:07
Speaker 3: let him handle everything.
24:09
Speaker 1: So it was like, so if he made all that money, right,
24:14
Speaker 1: it's safe to assume that he made a bulk of
24:16
Speaker 1: the money, because I'm after you hit that peek on YouTube.
24:20
Speaker 1: The rest is like the lesser growing right of views.
24:25
Speaker 1: I would imagine.
24:25
Speaker 3: What do you mean, Like like he made a bulk
24:27
Speaker 3: of the money up front said that first video had
24:30
Speaker 3: seventy million views, Right, so he made a bulk of
24:34
Speaker 3: the money on that video.
24:35
Speaker 2: Right, But it still calculates money.
24:40
Speaker 1: So you're still making money every day off that same video.
24:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not getting now anyway, So why girl?
24:46
Speaker 3: Why so much?
24:49
Speaker 1: No? How you got the counts, you got the accounts
24:53
Speaker 1: to do what the record label say that you have
24:54
Speaker 1: to recoup or something.
24:56
Speaker 3: No, but I had signed to a different layer. It
25:01
Speaker 3: was three hundred right you Entertainment in the label I
25:06
Speaker 3: had signed to them, and like they were.
25:08
Speaker 2: I don't even know if I could say this, but
25:10
Speaker 2: I'm gonna.
25:10
Speaker 3: Tell you they were taking all my money from songs
25:15
Speaker 3: that I didn't even make with them as well. So
25:17
Speaker 3: I have the manager, I have the manager taking money
25:22
Speaker 3: and then the label's taken all the money.
25:26
Speaker 2: Right, Like I'm traumatized. I don't want to sign.
25:29
Speaker 3: I don't want to sign nothing because it's like, damn like,
25:32
Speaker 3: everything I've signed has just went wrong on wrong.
25:36
Speaker 1: It's just terrible. So then so then so you sign
25:38
Speaker 1: a new deal and they're taking money off the songs
25:42
Speaker 1: that you did not make with them.
25:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were taking it for seven years.
25:52
Speaker 1: Did you know that or did you find out after
25:54
Speaker 1: the seven years?
25:56
Speaker 2: No, we ended up finding out, but.
26:00
Speaker 3: Once like I left them, they were still taking it
26:03
Speaker 3: when they were supposed to stop.
26:06
Speaker 1: Girls, First of all, they shouldn't have been taken it
26:08
Speaker 1: to begin with if they didn't make the songs with you.
26:10
Speaker 2: I know, but my manager had gave up the rights
26:12
Speaker 2: to my song.
26:13
Speaker 1: So the previous manager. Yeah, okay, but wouldn't they go
26:20
Speaker 1: back to you if he gave up the rights to
26:22
Speaker 1: the songs?
26:24
Speaker 2: Well, this is another thing.
26:26
Speaker 1: This is so fucked this.
26:29
Speaker 2: This is another thing.
26:30
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money we're talking about. We're not
26:32
Speaker 1: talking about a little bit of money.
26:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, he you know, like you put like your name's
26:37
Speaker 3: down for like publishing, Yeah, on a song. Yeah, he
26:40
Speaker 3: didn't put my name down at all, so he put
26:44
Speaker 3: his instead as like the writer and shit.
26:48
Speaker 1: In your original contract, did it say he could do
26:50
Speaker 1: all this?
26:51
Speaker 2: Girl?
26:52
Speaker 3: I don't even remember the original contract, Like do your parents.
26:56
Speaker 1: Do your parents ever talk about it? Because you were
26:58
Speaker 1: very young at the time, so I understand you not knowing,
27:01
Speaker 1: But at some point did they start to be like, hey.
27:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom started to be like, hey, what's going on?
27:07
Speaker 2: Yeah?
27:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I mean we didn't get any answers because
27:10
Speaker 3: the CEO of the label didn't know what was going
27:13
Speaker 3: on because he didn't handle his business.
27:15
Speaker 2: He put it in the hands of who was managing me.
27:17
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's crazy.
27:20
Speaker 1: It's crazy the whole time you're working as any of this.
27:23
Speaker 1: Does it cause you to not want to do business
27:27
Speaker 1: with or or should not want to be in the industry.
27:33
Speaker 3: It doesn't make me not want to be in the industry,
27:35
Speaker 3: but it makes me just not trust people.
27:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't. I don't trust I wouldn't trust an adult,
27:42
Speaker 1: to be honest.
27:43
Speaker 3: I just don't trust nobody. I feel like everybody just
27:46
Speaker 3: be doing me dirty.
27:49
Speaker 1: So it's actually pretty sad to be honest.
27:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy.
27:55
Speaker 1: Are you supposed to fold those in the pot? Are
27:57
Speaker 1: you supposed to fold those like that out? Is that
27:59
Speaker 1: how you do it at home? I fold it out? Okay,
28:03
Speaker 1: Oh sh.
28:05
Speaker 2: Let me not burn myself.
28:09
Speaker 1: These look good by the way, keep making them, keep
28:11
Speaker 1: making them. I want at least two or three of
28:13
Speaker 1: these bad all right, So then you lose money on
28:17
Speaker 1: the first contract with the first manager, you lose. But
28:21
Speaker 1: at this point you do have control.
28:22
Speaker 2: Of your YouTube. Yeah, I have control of my YouTube now.
28:26
Speaker 1: Okay, and so all your social media, all of your
28:29
Speaker 1: social media for sure, social.
28:30
Speaker 2: Media for sure. Everything is me everything.
28:34
Speaker 1: And what is your mom and your dad saying during
28:36
Speaker 1: all of these transitions?
28:39
Speaker 3: I my dad really like he doesn't know like the
28:44
Speaker 3: business side for real, Like he only knows like what
28:48
Speaker 3: we tell him basically, and like when we tell him,
28:50
Speaker 3: he's still just like, don't understand it. But my mom,
28:57
Speaker 3: I think he's old.
28:59
Speaker 1: But of course all kids think their parents.
29:01
Speaker 2: What's older or younger to you? I thought they were
29:03
Speaker 2: one hundred, what's like older to you?
29:06
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, were they like a older you know
29:10
Speaker 1: how like I think DC young flock. He said his
29:12
Speaker 1: parents were like sixty or something.
29:14
Speaker 2: When they know my parents didn't hit sixty yet.
29:16
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot to go through. And your mom
29:21
Speaker 1: just is not really updating him, or he's just like
29:23
Speaker 1: I don't fully understand it.
29:24
Speaker 3: No, he just doesn't understand it. It's like we tell him,
29:27
Speaker 3: but he just don't understand. Okay, Yeah, this story is

Speaker 3: a long.
29:30
Speaker 1: Do you still have a Do you have a manager currently?
29:32

32:54
Speaker 1: talks about.
32:57
Speaker 2: Girl Talk is basically.
33:01
Speaker 3: When you watch it, you just feel like you're there
33:03
Speaker 3: with us talking about We literally talk about everything everything
33:07
Speaker 3: you can imagine when it comes to boys, it comes
33:09
Speaker 3: to parents, periods, like deep conversations like we just did
33:15
Speaker 3: an episode called Losing People, and you know, we're just
33:19

33:21
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. We it's just like a wide
33:25
Speaker 3: variety of like everything, any topic you can think of,
33:28
Speaker 3: we talk about it.
33:30
Speaker 1: I know you guys also talk about mental health, we do.
33:32
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with Alicia Bernie rest in Peace? No.
33:36
Speaker 1: Alicia Bernie. She was on our show. She was a
33:40
Speaker 1: young influencer, started around the same age as you. She
33:43
Speaker 1: just recently passed from like an asthma attack.
33:46
Speaker 2: What.
33:46
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I should talk about this,
33:48
Speaker 1: but one of the things that I noticed when she
33:51
Speaker 1: was on our show is she talked about how being
33:56
Speaker 1: an influencer, she was very lonely. It was something that
33:59
Speaker 1: she actually was like there are times around very lonely
34:04
Speaker 1: or I feel alone. And she also had a lot
34:07
Speaker 1: of the same responsibilities as you. She passed way too young,
34:10
Speaker 1: but that was something that was like an underlying. If
34:13
Speaker 1: you watch the episode, you'd see like it was a
34:15
Speaker 1: very personal thing that she was constantly dealing with even
34:18
Speaker 1: when she came it came to dating. She says she
34:21
Speaker 1: couldn't trust if dudes were with her because of that.
34:23
Speaker 2: Or because of who she is. Yeah, I understand that
34:26
Speaker 2: for sure.
34:28
Speaker 1: That's crazy though, which side the dudes or just being
34:32
Speaker 1: like semi alone or lonely.
34:36
Speaker 3: I thank god I don't ever feel like I'm alone
34:40
Speaker 3: because I have a really good, like support system.
34:43
Speaker 2: I have a lot of good.
34:44
Speaker 3: People around me when it comes to I won't even
34:49
Speaker 3: say just guys, but just people in general. You never
34:52
Speaker 3: know if somebody's coming into your life genuinely because they
34:56
Speaker 3: just want to be cool with you and they like
34:58
Speaker 3: you as a person, or if they're coming in your
35:00
Speaker 3: life because they can.
35:02
Speaker 2: Benefit off of you in some type of way.
35:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and I've experienced that so many times.
35:07
Speaker 3: Like it, whether it's someone trying to talk to me
35:11
Speaker 3: or someone trying to be my best friend, they just
35:15
Speaker 3: want to eat off of you, and you don't realize
35:17
Speaker 3: it because at the time it's like, oh, like this
35:19
Speaker 3: is my best tee, Like we're doing everything together, Like
35:21
Speaker 3: I love you whatever, but then they do some crazy
35:25
Speaker 3: shit to you and it's like, damn.
35:26
Speaker 2: Like you were never genuine.
35:28
Speaker 1: I saw a clip online, oh, snap of me. I
35:33
Speaker 1: saw a clip online. Oh my god. You were talking
35:36
Speaker 1: about something to the likes of like you were dating
35:39
Speaker 1: a guy, a young man that cheated on you. And
35:42
Speaker 1: I think you said in the clips matter of fact,
35:45
Speaker 1: you finish it, but he cheated on you a lot. Okay, right,
35:49
Speaker 1: And did you say I want to say this, please
35:52
Speaker 1: don't embarrass me if I said this wrong, But I
35:55
Speaker 1: think you said, like your friend hooked up with him
35:58
Speaker 1: in your bed. Yeah, yes, that's a traumatic experience, is
36:06
Speaker 1: it was crazy? How did you find out? You didn't
36:08
Speaker 1: like walk in and see that? Right?
36:10
Speaker 3: No, if I would have walked in, I would have
36:14
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't know what I would have done.
36:16
Speaker 1: I don't know what someone would do in that situation.
36:20
Speaker 2: That's like because betrayal, No, for sure, it's it was crazy.
36:26
Speaker 1: That's the best friend for how long?
36:28
Speaker 2: I want to say, like.
36:31
Speaker 3: Maybe like a year or like she wasn't like childhood
36:34
Speaker 3: best friend, but like everyone on social media just labeled
36:37
Speaker 3: us as best friends, and like it was slowly becoming
36:40
Speaker 3: that because we were like she lived with me.
36:42
Speaker 2: It was like we were around each other at the time.
36:44
Speaker 3: But previously to that, we came I met her through
36:46
Speaker 3: someone that I don't really mess with, and that like
36:50
Speaker 3: got mad that we were friends, and then like we
36:53
Speaker 3: started beefing with them to the point like we were
36:55
Speaker 3: making distracks and stuff like that.
36:56
Speaker 2: But anyway, we're not gonna talk about him.
36:59
Speaker 3: So, like we go back to Detroit for I think
37:03
Speaker 3: it was we went back to Detroit for his birthday
37:07
Speaker 3: ex boyfriend. Okay, I went back for his birthday. When
37:10
Speaker 3: you said she was with you, she came with me, Okay,
37:13
Speaker 3: so she knows, like, okay, this is I mean, we
37:17
Speaker 3: weren't dating at the time, but like that was my ex,
37:19
Speaker 3: my first love, my first everything.
37:21
Speaker 1: So it usually means off limits, yeah, anytime if it's
37:26
Speaker 1: an ex boyfriend not talking about I mean, some people
37:30
Speaker 1: share casualties, but if it has that label of like boyfriend, husband, fiance,
37:35
Speaker 1: it's usually typically a no fly zone.
37:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, off limits for sure. So then like Sinkle to
37:40
Speaker 2: Mile comes and she was about to go home. I
37:42
Speaker 2: should have just let the bitch go home, Oh my god,
37:45
Speaker 2: but I'm like, no, you should stay, like it's Sinkle
37:47

37:53
Speaker 3: you should stay.
37:55
Speaker 2: She ends up staying and Sinkle to my O. Night.
37:59
Speaker 3: I got into it with the boyfriend because he was
38:02
Speaker 3: texting a girl in my house and I'm like, how
38:06
Speaker 3: are you going to be sitting next to me texting somebody?
38:08

38:45
Speaker 3: him out over the girl texting.
38:47

41:10
Speaker 1: successful since you were a teeny bopper, But I would.

42:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I'm the problem. No, no, you're not. You
42:17
Speaker 1: know what, I'll tell you something I had to learn
42:19
Speaker 1: because my husband cheated.
42:21
Speaker 2: He cheated like nobody's business.
42:24
Speaker 1: Huh.
42:24
Speaker 2: Why'd you stay like.
42:26
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little No, I'm I no. No. If anything,
42:31
Speaker 1: I advise the younger you are, the least you should
42:33
Speaker 1: put up with. But I stayed because I you know,
42:36
Speaker 1: I have a daughter, and I believe in the old
42:39
Speaker 1: school family things. Well not that, and I do love them,
42:44
Speaker 1: but I do realize that like when people cheat, it's
42:46
Speaker 1: usually them, not you, because the women always think it's
42:49
Speaker 1: like maybe the girls better or maybe I did something,
42:52
Speaker 1: or maybe I wasn't. Most people that cheat are usually
42:55
Speaker 1: serial cheaters. And even if they are serial cheaters, it's
42:59
Speaker 1: up to them to change on their own time and
43:01
Speaker 1: on a cord if they ever. Do you know, there's
43:04
Speaker 1: no perfect you can ever make a cheat or not cheat.
43:07
Speaker 1: You know, I just think allmend cheat. What does your
43:10
Speaker 1: dad say?

43:16
Speaker 2: never cheated on my.
43:17
Speaker 1: Mom, But what what does he say.
43:19
Speaker 2: Like when I get cheated on?
43:21
Speaker 1: Yeah?
43:21
Speaker 2: Oh I don't even you.
43:23
Speaker 1: Don't talk to him about it.
43:24
Speaker 3: No, why my dad will go beat somebody up back
43:27
Speaker 3: and I still love you.
43:28
Speaker 2: I don't want you to give me up.
43:29
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. All right here? Why you only take take
43:32

44:32
Speaker 1: know what? These are good with tacos? You She was
44:36
Speaker 1: hanging on her own drink.
44:37
Speaker 3: Listen, I used to drink these when I was little, Like,

45:11
Speaker 1: all right, so now we know broken good cook and
45:15
Speaker 1: she's still optimistic. I do think I think to go
45:21
Speaker 1: kind of what you said. I do think that a
45:23
Speaker 1: good percentage of men cheat, But I do think there's
45:27
Speaker 1: some people that don't.
45:29
Speaker 2: No, yeah for sure. But everyone I've dealt with cheated,
45:32
Speaker 2: So that's why I think that.
45:35
Speaker 1: Well, so let's talk about your career. Okay, so what's
45:40
Speaker 1: on your goal list for your career? Chuckles are so
45:43

45:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just let's just.
45:52
Speaker 1: No one does it like that, because the way you
45:55
Speaker 1: did it was like a puffy pastry type. Is that
45:58
Speaker 1: how your mom does it?
46:00
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I learned from my aunt. That's the way
46:04
Speaker 2: to do it.
46:04

46:51
Speaker 3: tortilla and then put it just leave it in the pan,
46:55
Speaker 3: crack the egg on top and fry the egg so
46:57
Speaker 3: it like sticks the tortilla, and then put like avocado

Speaker 2: lime juice. Yes, really, yes, it's so good.
47:09
Speaker 1: Do you keep the egg running or firm.
47:11
Speaker 2: I guess it just depends on my mood.
47:13
Speaker 1: So you don't flip it though. You don't flip the
47:16
Speaker 1: tortilla over.
47:17
Speaker 3: No, I just would like take a spoon and like
47:20
Speaker 3: get the oil and like splash it on the egg
47:22
Speaker 3: to cook the top of the egg.
47:23
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I got it. Yeah, But if you want
47:26

Speaker 1: the egg on after I fried both slides and then
47:31
Speaker 1: let it cook on the pot. Yeah, avocado, seasoning, avocado
47:35
Speaker 1: and a little bit of lemon.
47:36
Speaker 3: That sounds amazing, amazing.
47:39
Speaker 2: Okay, So you would cook, okay, bro, I am a chef.
47:42
Speaker 1: One of the things I do want to talk about
47:43
Speaker 1: is I I have gone.
47:45
Speaker 3: To Detroit, Okay, and Detroit is why were you there
47:48
Speaker 3: first before?
47:49
Speaker 2: Because I told you to hoby Okay, okay, okay.
47:52
Speaker 1: So when I go to Detroit, it's you know, if
47:55
Speaker 1: I'm from New York, I live in LA. It used
47:58
Speaker 1: to big cities, a lot of progress. When I go
48:00
Speaker 1: to Detroit, it's always conflicting emotions for me because it's
48:03
Speaker 1: like house bomb, bomb, house, bomb, neighborhood bomb, bomb, bomb.
48:09
Speaker 2: House, what do you mean bomb?
48:11
Speaker 1: Meaning like a house that's been abandoned. Oh okay, And I
48:15
Speaker 1: always wonder, like how strong you have to be to
48:18
Speaker 1: get past that type of environment, like to look past it.
48:23
Speaker 3: So where my mom grew up, it was like a
48:27
Speaker 3: little house on Stout, you know, it's the name of
48:30
Speaker 3: the street. And back in the day there was like
48:34
Speaker 3: all houses. Now if we drive.
48:35
Speaker 2: Through there, if I took you, it would just look
48:37
Speaker 2: like a field of grass and then a house and
48:40
Speaker 2: then a field, like all the houses are burned down,
48:42
Speaker 2: like gone, you know what I mean. My dad he
48:46
Speaker 2: grew up on like the better side of the hood,
48:48
Speaker 2: so where it was like the all nice brick houses
48:51
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.
48:52
Speaker 3: But like I I wasn't there enough to really experience that,
49:00
Speaker 3: like the bandit houses.
49:02
Speaker 1: But even in the nice state neighborhoods, so like I've
49:04
Speaker 1: been to like Indian Head Village or I don't know
49:07
Speaker 1: if you know where that is. It's like where it's
49:09
Speaker 1: like a nice it's I think, I don't know, but
49:12
Speaker 1: it's like it's like a bunch of nice houses, maybe
49:15
Speaker 1: like three good blocks, and then outside of those three
49:18
Speaker 1: good blocks it looks kind of crazy. Yeah, are you
49:22
Speaker 1: saying that where you lived in Detroit. You didn't see
49:25
Speaker 1: the house field.
49:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean I see it now like when
49:30
Speaker 3: I ride through or like you go over there, But
49:33
Speaker 3: where I live.
49:34
Speaker 1: It's not It's not like that I need to go
49:36
Speaker 1: where you live.
49:38
Speaker 2: I'm trying to tell you the west side, the west Side.
49:40
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go.
49:40
Speaker 3: The west side is the best side, like no, no tin,
49:44
Speaker 3: no shade, like the east side. Y'all are just the
49:46
Speaker 3: east side. I always say east side people like not
49:49
Speaker 3: even just the people, just east side in Gymeral's just dirty.
49:52
Speaker 1: Okay, there's there a lot of people commenting on this.
49:56
Speaker 2: No, and I say this all the time.
49:58
Speaker 1: It's like.
50:00
Speaker 2: The west side is just better, like we are just that.
50:04
Speaker 3: But let somebody from anywhere else, like not in Michigan.
50:09
Speaker 3: Let somebody from anywhere else say anything about the west Side.
50:12
Speaker 3: Then the east Side and the west we come together. Okay,
50:15
Speaker 3: let y'all say some about the east Side. We're gonna
50:16
Speaker 3: come together. So when it comes to Detroit, we joined forces.
50:21
Speaker 3: But when it's in Detroit, like we're like, no, the
50:24
Speaker 3: west side.
50:25
Speaker 2: I just think the west side is better. I gotta
50:26
Speaker 2: take you over there.
50:27
Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of great things that come out
50:29
Speaker 1: of Detroit. Okay, there's a lot of great entrepreneurs that
50:31
Speaker 1: come out of Detroit. We've met a lot of great
50:33
Speaker 1: people out of Detroit.
50:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
50:35
Speaker 1: Go on back to this new documentary on Netflix call
50:38
Speaker 1: what is it called Bad Influence something. When you're a
50:43
Speaker 1: young influencer, did you feel a lot of pressure to
50:45
Speaker 1: post all the time and to constantly drop content all
50:48
Speaker 1: the time? Was there like a hidden pressure there?
50:52
Speaker 2: No, because I enjoyed it.
50:54
Speaker 3: It didn't feel like, oh, you gotta post this, you
50:58
Speaker 3: gotta do this, you gotta do that, because I just
51:01
Speaker 3: like to post and give people what they want to see.
51:04
Speaker 3: So for me, it wasn't really that of course, like
51:08
Speaker 3: my mom would be like, you didn't post your TikTok like.
51:10
Speaker 2: Till this day, my mom, I'm probably.
51:12
Speaker 3: A text on my phone right now, like why didn't
51:13
Speaker 3: you post TikTok yet? But it's like, now it's my job,
51:17
Speaker 3: like I have to post TikTok even though I still
51:20
Speaker 3: enjoy it.
51:21
Speaker 2: You know, it's just work now, you know.
51:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, So you do you scroll on social media the
51:27
Speaker 1: way people that aren't influencers scroll on media or social media?
51:32
Speaker 1: Are you just looking to see what the responses are.
51:35
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm on there like twenty four seven.
51:37
Speaker 3: Really, Like, if we're just hanging out like normal day,
51:41
Speaker 3: you're gonna see me on my phone scrolling both phones
51:43
Speaker 3: in the hand, scrolling.
51:44
Speaker 1: Why do you have two phones?
51:45
Speaker 3: Because I have recently just got a new one, but
51:47
Speaker 3: like I still have all my old stuff on the
51:50
Speaker 3: other phone.
51:50
Speaker 1: So like, you know, I get a chance to have.
51:53
Speaker 2: I mean I did, but like I don't want to
51:55
Speaker 2: give rid of my phone.
51:57
Speaker 1: I'm never I never give out. You know what I
52:00
Speaker 1: do is I'll buy a new phone, I'll tell them
52:02
Speaker 1: to transfer it, and then I take my old phone
52:04
Speaker 1: and I keep the boxes of all the old phones.
52:06
Speaker 1: It sounds weird, and I just put it back in
52:08
Speaker 1: the box and I just shelve it because sometimes I
52:11
Speaker 1: have like contacts in an old phone and they never
52:13
Speaker 1: transfer them over or videos or pictures, so I just
52:16
Speaker 1: keep the old phone. I have like a little museum
52:19
Speaker 1: of phones in my house. It's like a little cabinet
52:21
Speaker 1: that just has like a million phones.
52:23
Speaker 2: That sounds like hoarding, though it's not because.
52:25
Speaker 1: The phones are like this big. They're like this big.
52:29
Speaker 1: But wait, you walk around with two phones?
52:32
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I need it.
52:34
Speaker 1: No, you said, you don't.
52:37
Speaker 2: What I need both of them, and then like, how.
52:40
Speaker 1: Am I hoard when you need two phones and you
52:42
Speaker 1: only one person?
52:43
Speaker 3: Because I'm not keeping the phone and just leaving them
52:45
Speaker 3: in a box, I'm actually using them.
52:50
Speaker 1: You are nineteen now, Yeah, you've had at least five phones? Okay? Yeah,
52:54
Speaker 1: so where are you put in other phones?
52:56
Speaker 3: I would like give them to my brother and he
52:58
Speaker 3: would like get his phone turned on. And at the
53:01
Speaker 3: ex boyfriend who cheated on me with my best friend,
53:03
Speaker 3: he didn't have a phone because he was from the
53:05
Speaker 3: east Side.
53:05
Speaker 2: And broke and I had to give him a phone.
53:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was chanting on me with the phone that
53:12
Speaker 3: I gave him. Like what that's that's typical.
53:15
Speaker 2: That's typical.
53:16
Speaker 1: He's from the east Side. Yes see, maybe it's the
53:19

Speaker 3: business behind everything. Like I want to be looking at
53:57
Speaker 3: the contracts even though I might not understand everything in it,
53:59
Speaker 3: but it's good for me to read it and try
54:02
Speaker 3: to understand. And if I don't understand, go look it
54:04
Speaker 3: up to figure out what it is. You know, Like
54:06
Speaker 3: I'm getting older to the point my mom's not always
54:08
Speaker 3: going to be by my side. I need to learn
54:11

Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, but you don't ever sign a contract
54:15
Speaker 1: without her semi glancing at it now.

54:40
Speaker 1: it's very scary, but it's very real. It happens to
54:43
Speaker 1: a lot of people. You know, but your success was
54:46
Speaker 1: also monumental, so to not be able to capitalize off
54:49
Speaker 1: that it's kind of sucky.
54:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy now.

Speaker 2: TV series. Okay, that's exciting.
55:15

Speaker 3: in the show.
55:36
Speaker 2: Okay, I can't tell you.
55:37
Speaker 3: Like exactly like the whole plot, of course, but I
55:41

55:43
Speaker 3: shows out.
55:45
Speaker 1: When is it releasing?
55:46
Speaker 2: Not sure? We didn't even like this. I'm really letting

56:14
Speaker 1: up in the game on the just the young person's side.
56:20
Speaker 3: Don't trust everybody, Do not trust everybody. All I would say,
56:26
Speaker 3: follow your dream and don't let anyone get in the
56:30
Speaker 3: way of your dream. Don't let anyone tell you differently
56:35
Speaker 3: about yourself. If you know, like like I can do this,
56:38
Speaker 3: I believe in myself, then you can do it.
56:40
Speaker 2: Don't let anyone try to stop you. And that's that's
56:44
Speaker 2: what I say.
56:45
Speaker 1: With those first managers, they were they one hundred percent
56:48
Speaker 1: believed in you. Do you think that the power is
56:51
Speaker 1: what changed the dynamic of that relationship or do you
56:54
Speaker 1: think that they were like that from the jump?
56:59
Speaker 2: I believe that they could have been like that from
57:02
Speaker 2: the jump, and just was I had a mask over it,
57:05
Speaker 2: you know, because I don't.
57:07
Speaker 1: I don't.

Speaker 3: I just feel like, if you can do somebody dirty,
57:10
Speaker 3: you're You've always just been that type of person, and
57:12
Speaker 3: just do somebody dirty.
57:13
Speaker 2: You know like nothing changes.
57:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely agree with that. Like, if I see
57:18
Speaker 1: you act a certain way with somebody, if I see
57:20
Speaker 1: people talk behind people's back when I have a role,
57:24
Speaker 1: I have to exit the conversation because I don't want
57:26
Speaker 1: to be a part of the problem of it.
57:29
Speaker 2: Yeah.
57:30
Speaker 1: But two, I always feel like, okay, if that's how
57:32
Speaker 1: you talk about other people, Like yeah, so I've always
57:37
Speaker 1: been like that since I was young. But I see
57:38
