Thirteen?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I told my mom I wasn't going to church anymore
because I didn't really believe in because I grew up Baptists,
and it's like every time you go in the church
are always talking about.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
How horrible the kids are these days, and how horrible
this is, how horrible that is.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I wasn't trying to hear that.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Okay, so what does she say, Okay, you don't have
to go Hell no, that was a fight.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Like I grew up, like I'm in Louisiana, like it's
still part of like the Bible every Sunday like that
has to go exactly, you don't have a choice.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So that was that.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
That ended up in a little bit of a little scuffle.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Yeah, so you was going to church till you moved out?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
No, because I stood I mentioned that I wasn't going.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So did that affect your relationship with your mom or anything?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I mean it did, but she's like, we're so close now,
you know everybody goes through that with their parents, know
me agors.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I love that. Yes, get me started. I got a
couple in the house.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Man, I'm on the verge of that.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So anyway, were you like a nerve? Did you get
straight a's?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
You did? I get? I got straight a's when I
was in.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Great I didn't.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I got and I was taking college courses my senior year.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Sounds very yes, I'm very definitely would have been.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Look I had some people doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So did you go to college? Did you go to college?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I went to l s U and two years and
I dropped out.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay, so you didn't finish No, I did not.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
I dropped out and got in the music industry.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Oh wow, Okay, so let's get into that. What was
that your dream to do?
Speaker 7 (03:42):
What was your dream?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
My dream was to be a doctor. Like I always
felt like I was like a healer. I always wanted
to help people. So I actually went went to l
s U for pre med, but I stopped after like
two years and I started taking over Kevin's career. Well
started off.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
What made you quit the medical field? Did you like
this is too hard or it's just too much? No?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I mean, you know, your first two years of college
you're taking a bunch of like BS courses.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Anyway, So.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
It was easy for me to not want to continue,
you know what I'm saying, because I hadn't gotten to
like the good stuff. And then like I just saw
I'm not going to say, another opportunity. But just like
Kevin and I, we were together prior to all of that,
but he was an fucking amazing writer. I mean he
still is to this day. Like he's very fucking talented,
and I just thought that he should take it serious.
(04:34):
And we had a talk one day and I asked
him and he was like, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So you you you were dating Kevin before you went
to college.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yes, so you went high school high school sweethearts.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
I don't know if you college sweethearts. That was my
sweetheart though. Yeah, I always say that because yeah, I
guess high school.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Sweet, huh would you meet at my brother's football?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
It was so crazy. Okay, so my brother and his
sister were like brother. They play brother and sister and
we had no clue. He was picking up his sister
from my brother's football game, and I was going to
see my brother play football.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Man, what happened?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
He hemmed me up.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I know he said something to you, though. What did
he say? What was his first word?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Whatever?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
It was something like that.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
He was in front of me walking, I'm behind him.
He kept turning around looking at me, but he said
that I was looking at him. Of course I'm looking
at you if you're walking in front of me, right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, And so then he hemmed me up at my car.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
We talked for like two three hours.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Damn your first interaction you talked.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
First interaction wow, which impressed all kind of stuff?
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Were you impressed? Was I impressed?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (05:56):
So I was. I was hard.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I was really hard on gods.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Gonna say, what do you mean hard on guys? Like
I had never like.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I also lost my virginity to him, So it was
like I wasn't really like you gotta like come with
it if you're trying to you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Are you like a daddy's girl?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Was like I was, okay, Yeah, I think daddy's girls
would just kind of like, yeah, it's kind of like
a puzzle. You gotta exactly, yes, you gotta figure me out.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
What does your family think about on your relationship? When
y'all first started.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Doing Oh my gosh, nobody liked it. Everybody was against it.
Nobody was really for it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But he wasn't all the way Kevin Gates yet though, right.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
No, Oka, he was just Kevin.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
But you was getting the pieces together when you was
putting his career together. So what was your game plan
as far as you know, managing him and taking on
his career with him?
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I mean, I just thought that he was really fucking talented,
and I'm very good at like I call myself kind
of like a visionary, Like I can see people like
and where they're going and what they could be. And
I told him I was like, dude, I actually told
him that he was gonna be a motivational speaker. But
he has like fucking become that in a sense. And
(07:05):
I mean, as far as I get into the music, industry.
I didn't know anything about it. I just figured it
out and made it work, put the pieces together.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
So how did that conversation go. Did you say, listen,
I need to manage you.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
No, it was it wasn't even that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And it wasn't even like.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Me just managing him because I literally played like every
single role that you could possibly play, like in an
artist's career, you know what I'm saying, booking agent, all
the things, you know. And so once we acquired like
all those other like I guess you say, team members
or players, like I was strictly in that manager role.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
And that was two thousand and six, two thousand and six.
So fast forward to twenty ten. You guys found a
company bread Winners Association.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yes, bread Winners Association that was the record label home
to him.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah, I did a partnership deal with the label. So
how was it hard when you were coming in there
as like a partner with him? And was it kind
of hard for people to like respect you, like she
don't know nothing about the music business, like you know, hell.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Yeah, because they just looked at me as the girlfriend. Yeah,
and it's like, no, I'm way more than that. And
so I actually had to like hire, so let me
have this story to tell you. So when I went
to the label, they actually suggested to me that I
should hire a manager for him, and I'm like, but
I am the manager, Like what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (08:27):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So I did what they suggested.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
But in the process of me doing that, like this
person that was in place was always like, okay, let
me go Astrika, let me go Astrica. Okay, I got
to go back with Drica. I'm waiting to hear from Drica.
So it was like eventually they caught on like okay,
like she's really the one that's like workings exactly. So
then I then they eventually like respected me and the
(08:52):
people that were in the beginning, like they they truly
respect me, like they're like executives now.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And because my wife is a big fan of Kevin
Gas and she's also a big fan of you, So
after we're done, I'm going to FaceTime her. But you
guys started getting fans of him, but fans of you
two together. So how was that as this was happening
so in real time, because they they'd be like, where's Kevin,
(09:19):
Where's dream Because.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I remember that he came to the radio station, and
I facetimed him. I facetimed her.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
She was like, where's Draka, Yes, so I kind of
knew that started happening. How did that make you feel,
because now it's almost like you had to be everywhere
he was at exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Oh yeah, No, we were literally joined at the hip,
like if you saw him, I wasn't too far away,
and vice versa. So it was kind of weird for
me because I'm not I don't want to be the star,
like I don't want to be a singer or a
rapper or anything like that. Like my place was in
the background, like handling the business. That's my comference zone,
you know what I'm saying. So it was it was
(09:54):
kind of weird, but I'm like I understood it, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And he was one of the first rappers that really
acknowledged his lady next to him. Yes, I mean we
saw it when artists would blow up in the beginning
of their careers and then they get a girlfriend. You
came in the game with him next to him, So
I feel like he was one of the first artists
that I saw had his lady right next to him.
And you guys had kids and I was like, this
(10:20):
is literally happening for a public eye.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
Yeah, yeah, it was pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I think it was really good for a lot of
people to see that because I feel like we influenced
like a lot of you know.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
And it's hard to have somebody that you can trust
your career because a lot of people get into a
lot of messy things. But some of your duties were
you led the touring the merchandise department to a multimillion
dollar success that expanded the label into a lifestyle brand.
Like what was your strategy? How did you do that?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I mean, it was all about just growing the brand.
It was like, Okay, yes the music is popping, you
know what I'm saying, But there are other avenues of
making money, you know what I'm saying. There's other ways
to really maximize and capitalize off of this. And so
I really just I just did what I felt that
I should be doing, to be honest with you, and
(11:12):
also just looking at other brands when it came to
like merchandise. You know, merchandise is huge. Now you can
potentially make more off of merchandise than means you are
off for music.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's not his case.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
But because I mean he's very well established, but you know,
like there's still really really good money that you don't
have to get out your bed for. And it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
We'll be right back with more of The Baller Alert Show.
You're listening to a special edition of The Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
What's up.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
It's Driga Gates and you are now tuned into the
Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So I do know eventually you guys got he became
so big that you had to hire help. Yes, what
was that conversation like and how did that happen?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I mean it was really like it's a necessity at
some point because one person you can't do it all,
You're gonna kill yourself, you know what I'm saying. So
it was very it was welcoming, especially for me, you know,
because I'm the one that's like, oh gosh, and wife
like a lot.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
How did you separate the marriage and love and business.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I mean, it came to a point to where there
was really no separation. And I'm going to say this
now that I was guilty of being more in the
business manager role than wife role at times, because it's like,
at the end of the day, like I know, it
does but I don't mind saying it. I don't mind,
you know, because I'm guilty of that. I was more
in the you know, that role than I wasn't a
(12:40):
wife role because you know, that had become my life.
That was our life. Like you know what I'm saying.
We spent eighty to ninety percent of our time on
the road, I mean eight of the year on the
road touring, So that was like life to me. Everything
else had to you know, come second and third.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, So it's probably hard doing the separation.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
What was what was some of the things that you
have to do to like actually start to separate yourself
from you know, the roles of being a wife and
music executives and things like that.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Man, it just and this is gonna sound kind of silly,
but behind closed doors is something different.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
That's you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
That's because when we're out in public, like it's it's
the business, it's the music, it's you know what I'm saying.
But at the end of the day, like having someone
standing on the side of you that's in full support,
like that is what really kind of like I guess
you could say, like held it all together.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And you never wanted to put out music. Ever, No,
I never wanted to.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Have you ever heard me sing I'm horrible?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Heard me rap I'm horrible?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Well listen now, now you got writers, Now you know
you can you get somebody.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
I know I will still never do it. That is
not my place.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
I know.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
At what point did you did y'all get married? Twenty fifteen? Okay,
we actually got Okay? What prompted that decision?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
It just kind of seemed like the next thing to do.
We had just had our second baby, and it was
just like, oh, let's get married. We love each other,
so like it.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Was a casual conversation like, hey, let's yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
I mean because we had been together since we were
baby seventeen, so you know, almost ten years at that point.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, Now there was a moment when you know, I
didn't see you guys together a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And keep in mind, I knew this because my wife
told me.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Everyone watching it like what's going on because she's a
big fan of you separately and him and him?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So what happened?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Life?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Okay, life was life.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Life is life was lifing and life life's for everyone.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, I'm married too, so I kind of I can
put two and two together. Yes, yeah, okay, so but
you got fans. I don't have fans with my marriage.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I mean, even though I think I got a little bit.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
It's just like, you know, Atlanta local, you guys had worldwide. Yeah,
like you have like people that stand for you guys
together so over I know, I know they were on
your Instagram.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I'm like, what's happening, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yeah, I mean seriously, like life was fucking lifing. I swear,
like that's really all it boils down to.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Like I take a break, like from the traveling.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yes, I no longer tour like that. I don't do
that anymore. That is not something that I do. But
at the end of the day, it's my best friend.
We've been together since we were babies. Like we've literally
been together for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Wow, that's a lot lot.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
You know what I'm saying. To be with someone and
you have to think that we're both coming into this relationship.
We're both bringing our own shit into this relationship. So
to be honest with you, like this the time when
you guys weren't seeing us together, we're really just like
working on ourselves. That's what I was doing. That's what
he was doing.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
You know what I'm saying at the end of the
day again like that's my best friend.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
So and like you said, getting off with the tour
and stuff like that, did you want a more stable
environment for your children?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
But you know the crazy thing is I had them
on the tour. They were touring with us when they
were babies, so yes, but yeah, yeah, but they're homeschool.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
And they're so intelligent. They so well, I'll be like, man.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah that makes me feel so good. Yeah, I'm like
a proud mom moment. But yes, my babies are super intelligent.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
When you got off the tour and like you said,
you guys were going in your separate directions. Is that
when the Gates family farm came about and you started
to pour yourself into that.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
So actually early twenty twenty we made the Well. I
went to him when we were living in California at
like December twenty nineteen. I was like, look, I had
like this epiphany. I was like, I'm going to the farm.
You can come or you can stay here, and he
was like, you leave me. So so we went to
the farm together and then I mean COVID hit after that,
(16:55):
and then I mean, shit, everybody's life change, you know
what I'm saying. And like, for me, that was a
time for me to really really like really dive into
myself and work on myself because I mean, for seventeen
years I had devoted myself to you know, him and
his career. So for me, it was really just a
time for me to dive into myself. And I'm honest
to God, didn't care about anything else that was going
(17:18):
on with anybody else.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
And did you feel like even prior to the farm
and finding yourself, did you feel like you had to
something to prove and to achieve, you know, with his career,
like you quit school and stuff like that, and your
parents are probably like what are you going to do?
You know, and you made this big success out of
his career and now you know you're you're going to
make a life for yourself on this farm. How did
(17:39):
the farm help you?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Oh man? Internally I received some of my biggest lessons,
like on the farm, just being in isolation with myself,
you know what I'm saying, Like you get a lot
of people are afraid to sit with themselves, you know
what I'm saying, True.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Deal with yourself, exactly and your issues exactly.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
But I was, I'm not gonna say happily in that place,
but I was in that place and I got the
opportunity to really grow into evolve into this fucking I'm
sorry patting myself on the back, but like this amazing
person that can now like when it comes to just
processing life's experiences, like I'm a beast at that. Like
you know what I'm saying, there's nothing you can go Yeah, yeah,
(18:20):
steps for myself, you know what I'm saying. But it's
like and I feel like that's something that everyone should do,
you know what I'm saying, Because for me, that was
kind of like also like an identity crisis, you know
what I'm saying, because like for seventeen years, you're this person,
you're you know what I'm saying. So I really just
like took that time out for myself. I took that
as an opportunity to really just really really work on myself.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And did you have the support yes, from why you
were on the forum working on yourself, Like what was
the things that you were practicing, the you know, kind
of heal stuff that you've been through in your life.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Oh, a lot of a lot of people like to
call it like shadow work, because a lot of us
have the tendency to like project onto other people, or
we'll experience something and want to point the finger and
play victim and all that stuff. And it really took
me stepping outside of that and going back to shit
fucking childhood, you know what I'm saying, getting to the
(19:13):
root of why do I feel this way about this?
Why is this really bothering me? Anyways? You know what
I'm saying, and just really just getting to the root
of everything. You know, we have our triggers. You got
to get to the root of them, because it's really
not the person that's triggering you. It's some ship that's deep, deep,
deep down in Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Why Mississippi out of all places?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Okay, So now that's not the roll Mississippi. Yeah, Sippy
is about to turn up. Okay, every time.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Another roll Misissippi off from Markansas. So hey, my neighbor,
my neighbor, So why Mississippi? And what part of Mississippi?
Speaker 5 (19:50):
So ma co Mississippi. It's like an hour ten min.
It's north of New Orleans. Okay, Right, So I actually
spent my summers in Mississippi at my grandmother's great grandmothers
h house. So it's kind of like a had like
a kind of full circle moment with going back to
the farm.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Did the land speak to you when you went out there?

Speaker 5 (23:34):
I have been working on this actually for like years,
but didn't have the time, and then during COVID I
had the time, so I was able to like get
all that together and launch it in twenty twenty one.
But yeah, it's all about it's based on like just
health and wellness. I just it's not a place where
I get to share like the things that I've created
(23:55):
myself and things that have helped me like on my journey.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
So, yeah, you have skincare or.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Candles, crystals, books, bracelets, all things well yeah, hair products,
you know, and you have like over one thousand and
five star reviews, which is amazing, and that's not easy
to get.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
No, it's not okay, and I'm not going to because
I want like people's genuine like opinions of the products.
But I put a lot of love into it and
it's not My ship is not white label.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I use my own products, like you.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Go in my bath.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
This ain't no influencer thing with somebody.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
No, this is like my ship gotch my custom formula
is my everything. Like I said, your skin looks really good.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
So I'm pretty sure that you know they watch and
they're like, man, I want that one now.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Who can use these products? Men?
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Men can use them.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
To actually have a lot of men that use the product.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
So that's why one of your friends she was like,
I was like, man, I think I put on too much.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
She's like, you put on lotion exactly on oil. I
was like, but so we're not supposed to put on lotion.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
It's cleaner to put on like an oil, something that's in.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Its whole show a life, little path.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Of course, ye can y'all make that happens as a
roast to me about putting on lotion.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
So I would come in here, ashy. I do reviews too,
So matter of fact, I'm gonna have my wife do
a review.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
I love it. Make sure you send it over so
we can, yes, put it on blast.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
So if somebody's looking to heal themselves and going into
you know, I want to really take this seriously.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
My healing journey.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
What should they start with as far as your products go,
should they get a candle a crystal to start? Uh?
Speaker 7 (25:44):
You know, body butter.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Body butter.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
You know what's so crazy?
Speaker 5 (25:48):
It's going to be something the thing that you don't
put on your body, because I feel like everything starts
with like the mental. And so I have this journal
and I call it high Vibe writing, and it's where
you write for like twelve minutes. It's like you can
be pissed off whatever you're pissed off, whoever you're pissed
off with. It's like you just go in right, you
write for twelve minutes straight and then you like burn
(26:09):
it and that kind of like neutralizes the negativity. And
so that is like where I would honestly tell people
that's where you would start at, because for me, it's
all about like releasing and then you refill your body
with the good stuff.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Yeah, the Earth Signed Virgo is just just released.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
I feel like you you need that just a flute
behind you know.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Your voice, your memoir and just.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
You know, a nice music behind it with waterfall.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Yes, that's my whole vibe.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, that's the vibes.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
I can feel it. I can feel it.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
You have a garden as well, Yes, I do. What
is the benefits of growing your own? And do you
recommend that to people?
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Yes, even if you grow like on a freaking window
sill or out of pots on your balcony, like I
do recommend it. The food is different. It's not what
you're going to get out of the store. It's like
it's going to be packed with nutrients, is going to
be packed with love because you grew it yourself and
you're going to really appreciate it, like that ship is
really rewarding.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
So like what's in your garden?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Oh yeah, so I have to get ready for this.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm sure you have to learn what to grow, how
to grow it?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Can't just plant a pineapple.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Tree and expect that thing to grow coconut or whatever.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Hell no, I've had a lot of trial and errors.
But like okrah is one of my favorite things.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
It grows wow too, Like like how do you plant okra?
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Is a plant? But then it grows up into like
a stalk?

called problem to me isn't a problem. It's an opportunity,
you know what I'm saying. I'm not trying to be
on some old positive that's really like what I do,
Like I really just it's the way that I process everything,
you know what I'm saying. And I learn that from
a spiritual psychologist that I was working with for like
two years. Like I learned a lot of really awesome
(33:08):
ass tools just for fucking lifing, which I feel like
everybody needs. Can you share a couple of them, Like

Speaker 5 (34:48):
I love it, Yes, I mean even like what I
was telling you about with just processing experiences and stuff
like that. Like my kids are all fucking beast with
like dealing with people and that just makes me so
proud them. Like I love that because I feel like
at the end of the day, I don't I'm not
gonna say I don't care if you know how to
count or not, but I need you to be able
to know how to life like for real, for real,
(35:09):
you know what I'm saying, because a lot of people
end up like That's why there's such a People call
it like a mental health crisis, but it's just really
because people don't know how to process the shit that
they're experiencing in life, you know. And it's not to
downplay that, you know, but I feel like that is
a very important tool that we need to be teaching
our kids self mastery how to life. You know.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Are they in school now or are they still homeschool?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (35:35):
No, my kids are homeschool. They will be homeschool until
they're done.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Any particular reason why.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
For me, I feel like I'm my child's best teacher
at the end of the day, and the schools now
are little they're starting to get a little too progressive
for my liking.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
Take that.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
How you want to.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
Do they play like sports? To get interaction with o?
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Yes, yes, yes, they play softball, baseball, soccer, things like that.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
Okay, yeah, Rotti, they do they Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Because a lot of people think, you know, some parents
would think like homeschool, like they need to go be
around regular kids and have you know, those type of interactions.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
And they do. They interact with regular kids. And then
they also like they travel, like a lot of the
times when we're traveling stuff, the kids are with us,
so they're getting to experience like all of these amazing
things and interact with all types of different people. So yeah, are.
Speaker 7 (36:31):
They picking up wanting to do what their parents do
at all?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
I want to be yeah this mom, I want to
do that dad.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
It's funny because my daughter, she was actually on her
way to being an actress when we were in California,
but she's so she was tired of being in traffic
every day, so she like stopped. She had an agent
and everything, but now she's wanting to get back into it.
And I'm like, are you sure, Like do you know
that means you're gonna have to go back to California
and like be in the mix again. So my daughter
(37:03):
does like she's and she actually has a great voice.
But yeah, my son, no, he wants to just play
this video came gamer.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
That's some decent money. Now, I know you might need
to get back in that management role. He starts streaming.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Look if they do I will be the best my.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Kids career like that part.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Yes, speaking of kids, do you what do you think
about kids in social media?
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Ooh, that's a really touchy touchy, touchy, touchy touchy subject
for me. Like my kid, my daughter, like she loves
creating the videos and things like that, but her account
is on private because it's like people can be really
harsh and I don't want that. I'm not going to
say that. I'm trying to like shelter them. But at
the same time, you don't have to experience that either,
you know what I'm saying. You don't have to be
(37:58):
exposed to all of that. So, but my kids are
they're very intelligent, so they know, you know, when if
they run across something and it's just they know to
pass on by, like just keep it moving.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
Ney advice for like parents and kids, you know with
social media out there, who's like, well, I need to
have my baby be famous, that's what they'd be trying
to be doing, Like I know, yes, their kids or
not said, yeah, I don't really believe in that because
(38:32):
the industry, you guys know, y'all in the industry, the
industry is tough.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
You know what I'm saying I call.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
It the matrix because it's like you can just tell
the matrix.
Speaker 6 (38:41):
You know, we're just talking about the Nickelodeon doc and
we see how you know, parents should have been more
involved in them.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Understand how. I'm like, how's that going on?
Speaker 5 (38:51):
And because they're not there and present, like that's why
I said, if my kids got into it, no, I'm
going to be the manager fu all that, like I
got them, you know, but that's not that's not something
I'd recommend. And if you do do it, you need
to be there. You need to be present for everything.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
So well, speaking to kids one more time. You are
a doula?
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Yeah, how did I mean?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
I understand it.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
I understand how you got there because you just overall HeLa.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
You know, you've been healing since you.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Was off tour.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
But how did the doula come about you? Like, did
you wake up on it? I need to be a duel.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I had a dream for people who don't know what
is a doula.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
So a birth doula is something that is something somebody
that really just accompanies like the woman through She's just
there to support the woman, like at the woman. I
mean the birthing.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yeah no, I'm.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Saying no, Okay, I have to say this real quick
because they're making us say birthing person. That's why I'm
crossing there. But yeah, I'm just there to support the woman,
whether she wants like a massage, needs her feet massage
or a back massage, or just helping her with different
(40:03):
techniques to cope with like the pain.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
And understanding the journey, yes, knowing what to ask for
exactly so, like so as a childbirth educator, because I'm
a certified childbirth educator as well, it's my job to
make sure that you know, like what's going on with
your body, like because it's a very natural process, like
our bodies are made to do this.
Speaker 7 (40:24):
It just all I have to help.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
My goal is to help them to remove the fears
and make have them all the way knowledgeable about what's
happening so that they're not like this and causing even
more pain. You know.
Speaker 7 (40:35):
So have you been through how many pregnancies have you
been a part of.
Speaker 5 (40:41):
I've did three Because I don't have a lot of time,
and you're like you're like on call because you don't
you never know when you're gonna really have your baby.
But I've had three births.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
What was the experience?
Speaker 5 (40:51):
Absolutely beautiful, amazing. I mean I get to see this
thing come into the world, like, it's amazing. I love
it's went you to that career. I'm just really passionate
about that. I've had both of my kids. Both of
my kids were born here in Atlanta, Okay, in my townhouse,
in my bedroom, in a water, in a little birthing pool.
Speaker 6 (41:13):
I wouldn't have never imagined it any other way.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Dree con vertgo gates way.
Speaker 7 (41:22):
Yeah. But and as you have a dula for both pregnancies.
Speaker 5 (41:25):
I just had a midwife.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I didn't have the duela.
Speaker 5 (41:27):
Then, yeah, so the midwife is actually they're there to
actually help with the birth, and then like the duela
is there to support. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (41:33):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (41:34):
And another thing that you're doing, you're working on your
certification to be a love and sex coach.
Speaker 1 (41:40):

Hey, this is the last one, I promise.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (41:56):
It's like a year long commitment, but it's not so
and love and the sense of oh Trotty's new positions.
It's not that it's sex and love and a sense
of like healing, because sex is very healing. It's like
when a man and woman exchange energy, like and it's
equally like it can be a beautiful thing, like it's
real true medicine, like for the body, for our souls.
(42:20):
So that's like the aspect of the sex. That's where
I'm coming with it. Yeah, And it's beautiful and it's
also it goes down to getting to know ourselves, both
the man and the woman, you know, coming together with
knowledge of self like.
Speaker 6 (42:37):
And that's a common practice or love and sex coach,
uh in what sense?
Speaker 7 (42:43):
Like when have you had one? And then you're like, hey,
I can do that.
Speaker 5 (42:46):
No, I haven't had one, but I've taken like these
different courses and I'm like, what like, but honestly, all
of this stuff goes hand in hand, like it all.

They sure do come. But you never heard of any
suburbs and bad Ruge.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
But you could.
Speaker 7 (01:10):
Like that part I was. I was on the outskirts
of the city.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So that's why you didn't adapt accent that part. Did
you like go to like a Catholic school?
Speaker 5 (01:19):
I know Catholic did not regular regular regular high school?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, play sports or anything like that.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
I played volleyball, I did the shot put, javelin, shot
put in.
Speaker 7 (01:30):
Yes, yeah, your parents must have been well off.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Then, like I mean, my parents were well off, like
upper middle class.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
But you know, because you're doing the shot put, you're
doing just like.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
All the rich sports. That's a rich ties sports.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
You to your technique with that, you got pay practice
shot facts.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Were you like in the church heavy at all?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Or No?
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Thirteen?
Speaker 5 (01:59):
I told my mom I wasn't going to church anymore
because I didn't really believe in because I grew up Baptists,
and it's like every time you go in the church
are always talking about.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
How horrible the kids are these days, and how horrible
this is, how horrible that is.
Speaker 5 (02:10):
I wasn't trying to hear that.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Okay, so what does she say, Okay, you don't have
to go Hell no, that was a fight.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Like I grew up, like I'm in Louisiana, like it's
still part of like the Bible every Sunday like that
has to go exactly, you don't have a choice.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
So that was that.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
That ended up in a little bit of a little scuffle.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Yeah, so you was going to church till you moved out?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
No, because I stood I mentioned that I wasn't going.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
So did that affect your relationship with your mom or anything?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
I mean it did, but she's like, we're so close now,
you know everybody goes through that with their parents, know
me agors.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I love that. Yes, get me started. I got a
couple in the house.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Man, I'm on the verge of that.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So anyway, were you like a nerve? Did you get
straight a's?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
You did? I get? I got straight a's when I
was in.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Great I didn't.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I got and I was taking college courses my senior year.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Sounds very yes, I'm very definitely would have been.
Speaker 7 (03:22):
Look I had some people doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
So did you go to college? Did you go to college?
Speaker 5 (03:26):
I went to l s U and two years and
I dropped out.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Okay, so you didn't finish No, I did not.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
I dropped out and got in the music industry.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Oh wow, Okay, so let's get into that. What was
that your dream to do?
Speaker 7 (03:42):
What was your dream?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
My dream was to be a doctor. Like I always
felt like I was like a healer. I always wanted
to help people. So I actually went went to l
s U for pre med, but I stopped after like
two years and I started taking over Kevin's career. Well
started off.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
What made you quit the medical field? Did you like
this is too hard or it's just too much? No?
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I mean, you know, your first two years of college
you're taking a bunch of like BS courses.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Anyway, So.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
It was easy for me to not want to continue,
you know what I'm saying, because I hadn't gotten to
like the good stuff. And then like I just saw
I'm not going to say, another opportunity. But just like
Kevin and I, we were together prior to all of that,
but he was an fucking amazing writer. I mean he
still is to this day. Like he's very fucking talented,
and I just thought that he should take it serious.
(04:34):
And we had a talk one day and I asked
him and he was like, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
So you you you were dating Kevin before you went
to college.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yes, so you went high school high school sweethearts.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
I don't know if you college sweethearts. That was my
sweetheart though. Yeah, I always say that because yeah, I
guess high school.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Sweet, huh would you meet at my brother's football?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
It was so crazy. Okay, so my brother and his
sister were like brother. They play brother and sister and
we had no clue. He was picking up his sister
from my brother's football game, and I was going to
see my brother play football.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Man, what happened?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
He hemmed me up.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I know he said something to you, though. What did
he say? What was his first word?
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Like?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Whatever?
Speaker 7 (05:24):
It was something like that.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
He was in front of me walking, I'm behind him.
He kept turning around looking at me, but he said
that I was looking at him. Of course I'm looking
at you if you're walking in front of me, right.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Yeah, And so then he hemmed me up at my car.
Speaker 7 (05:41):
We talked for like two three hours.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Damn your first interaction you talked.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
First interaction wow, which impressed all kind of stuff?
Speaker 7 (05:52):
Were you impressed? Was I impressed?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (05:56):
So I was. I was hard.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I was really hard on gods.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
Gonna say, what do you mean hard on guys? Like
I had never like.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I also lost my virginity to him, So it was
like I wasn't really like you gotta like come with
it if you're trying to you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Are you like a daddy's girl?
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Was like I was, okay, Yeah, I think daddy's girls
would just kind of like, yeah, it's kind of like
a puzzle. You gotta exactly, yes, you gotta figure me out.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
What does your family think about on your relationship? When
y'all first started.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
Doing Oh my gosh, nobody liked it. Everybody was against it.
Nobody was really for it.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But he wasn't all the way Kevin Gates yet though, right.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
No, Oka, he was just Kevin.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
But you was getting the pieces together when you was
putting his career together. So what was your game plan
as far as you know, managing him and taking on
his career with him?
Speaker 5 (06:44):
I mean, I just thought that he was really fucking talented,
and I'm very good at like I call myself kind
of like a visionary, Like I can see people like
and where they're going and what they could be. And
I told him I was like, dude, I actually told
him that he was gonna be a motivational speaker. But
he has like fucking become that in a sense. And
(07:05):
I mean, as far as I get into the music, industry.
I didn't know anything about it. I just figured it
out and made it work, put the pieces together.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
So how did that conversation go. Did you say, listen,
I need to manage you.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
No, it was it wasn't even that.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
And it wasn't even like.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Me just managing him because I literally played like every
single role that you could possibly play, like in an
artist's career, you know what I'm saying, booking agent, all
the things, you know. And so once we acquired like
all those other like I guess you say, team members
or players, like I was strictly in that manager role.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
And that was two thousand and six, two thousand and six.
So fast forward to twenty ten. You guys found a
company bread Winners Association.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Yes, bread Winners Association that was the record label home
to him.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah, I did a partnership deal with the label. So
how was it hard when you were coming in there
as like a partner with him? And was it kind
of hard for people to like respect you, like she
don't know nothing about the music business, like you know, hell.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Yeah, because they just looked at me as the girlfriend. Yeah,
and it's like, no, I'm way more than that. And
so I actually had to like hire, so let me
have this story to tell you. So when I went
to the label, they actually suggested to me that I
should hire a manager for him, and I'm like, but
I am the manager, Like what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (08:27):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
So I did what they suggested.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
But in the process of me doing that, like this
person that was in place was always like, okay, let
me go Astrika, let me go Astrica. Okay, I got
to go back with Drica. I'm waiting to hear from Drica.
So it was like eventually they caught on like okay,
like she's really the one that's like workings exactly. So
then I then they eventually like respected me and the
(08:52):
people that were in the beginning, like they they truly
respect me, like they're like executives now.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
And because my wife is a big fan of Kevin
Gas and she's also a big fan of you, So
after we're done, I'm going to FaceTime her. But you
guys started getting fans of him, but fans of you
two together. So how was that as this was happening
so in real time, because they they'd be like, where's Kevin,
(09:19):
Where's dream Because.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I remember that he came to the radio station, and
I facetimed him. I facetimed her.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
She was like, where's Draka, Yes, so I kind of
knew that started happening. How did that make you feel,
because now it's almost like you had to be everywhere
he was at exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Oh yeah, No, we were literally joined at the hip,
like if you saw him, I wasn't too far away,
and vice versa. So it was kind of weird for
me because I'm not I don't want to be the star,
like I don't want to be a singer or a
rapper or anything like that. Like my place was in
the background, like handling the business. That's my comference zone,
you know what I'm saying. So it was it was
(09:54):
kind of weird, but I'm like I understood it, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And he was one of the first rappers that really
acknowledged his lady next to him. Yes, I mean we
saw it when artists would blow up in the beginning
of their careers and then they get a girlfriend. You
came in the game with him next to him, So
I feel like he was one of the first artists
that I saw had his lady right next to him.
And you guys had kids and I was like, this
(10:20):
is literally happening for a public eye.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
Yeah, yeah, it was pretty amazing.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I think it was really good for a lot of
people to see that because I feel like we influenced
like a lot of you know.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
And it's hard to have somebody that you can trust
your career because a lot of people get into a
lot of messy things. But some of your duties were
you led the touring the merchandise department to a multimillion
dollar success that expanded the label into a lifestyle brand.
Like what was your strategy? How did you do that?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I mean, it was all about just growing the brand.
It was like, Okay, yes the music is popping, you
know what I'm saying, But there are other avenues of
making money, you know what I'm saying. There's other ways
to really maximize and capitalize off of this. And so
I really just I just did what I felt that
I should be doing, to be honest with you, and
(11:12):
also just looking at other brands when it came to
like merchandise. You know, merchandise is huge. Now you can
potentially make more off of merchandise than means you are
off for music.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
That's not his case.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
But because I mean he's very well established, but you know,
like there's still really really good money that you don't
have to get out your bed for. And it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
We'll be right back with more of The Baller Alert Show.
You're listening to a special edition of The Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
What's up.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
It's Driga Gates and you are now tuned into the
Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
So I do know eventually you guys got he became
so big that you had to hire help. Yes, what
was that conversation like and how did that happen?
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I mean it was really like it's a necessity at
some point because one person you can't do it all,
You're gonna kill yourself, you know what I'm saying. So
it was very it was welcoming, especially for me, you know,
because I'm the one that's like, oh gosh, and wife
like a lot.
Speaker 7 (12:13):
How did you separate the marriage and love and business.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
I mean, it came to a point to where there
was really no separation. And I'm going to say this
now that I was guilty of being more in the
business manager role than wife role at times, because it's like,
at the end of the day, like I know, it
does but I don't mind saying it. I don't mind,
you know, because I'm guilty of that. I was more
in the you know, that role than I wasn't a
(12:40):
wife role because you know, that had become my life.
That was our life. Like you know what I'm saying.
We spent eighty to ninety percent of our time on
the road, I mean eight of the year on the
road touring, So that was like life to me. Everything
else had to you know, come second and third.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, So it's probably hard doing the separation.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
What was what was some of the things that you
have to do to like actually start to separate yourself
from you know, the roles of being a wife and
music executives and things like that.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Man, it just and this is gonna sound kind of silly,
but behind closed doors is something different.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
That's you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
That's because when we're out in public, like it's it's
the business, it's the music, it's you know what I'm saying.
But at the end of the day, like having someone
standing on the side of you that's in full support,
like that is what really kind of like I guess
you could say, like held it all together.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And you never wanted to put out music. Ever, No,
I never wanted to.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Have you ever heard me sing I'm horrible?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Heard me rap I'm horrible?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Well listen now, now you got writers, Now you know
you can you get somebody.
Speaker 7 (13:50):
I know I will still never do it. That is
not my place.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
I know.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
At what point did you did y'all get married? Twenty fifteen? Okay,
we actually got Okay? What prompted that decision?
Speaker 5 (14:03):
It just kind of seemed like the next thing to do.
We had just had our second baby, and it was
just like, oh, let's get married. We love each other,
so like it.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Was a casual conversation like, hey, let's yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
I mean because we had been together since we were
baby seventeen, so you know, almost ten years at that point.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Yeah, Now there was a moment when you know, I
didn't see you guys together a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And keep in mind, I knew this because my wife
told me.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Everyone watching it like what's going on because she's a
big fan of you separately and him and him?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
So what happened?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
Life?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Okay, life was life.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
Life is life was lifing and life life's for everyone.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, I'm married too, so I kind of I can
put two and two together. Yes, yeah, okay, so but
you got fans. I don't have fans with my marriage.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I mean, even though I think I got a little bit.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
It's just like, you know, Atlanta local, you guys had worldwide. Yeah,
like you have like people that stand for you guys
together so over I know, I know they were on
your Instagram.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I'm like, what's happening, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yeah, I mean seriously, like life was fucking lifing. I swear,
like that's really all it boils down to.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Like I take a break, like from the traveling.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
Yes, I no longer tour like that. I don't do
that anymore. That is not something that I do. But
at the end of the day, it's my best friend.
We've been together since we were babies. Like we've literally
been together for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Wow, that's a lot lot.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
You know what I'm saying. To be with someone and
you have to think that we're both coming into this relationship.
We're both bringing our own shit into this relationship. So
to be honest with you, like this the time when
you guys weren't seeing us together, we're really just like
working on ourselves. That's what I was doing. That's what
he was doing.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
You know what I'm saying at the end of the
day again like that's my best friend.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
So and like you said, getting off with the tour
and stuff like that, did you want a more stable
environment for your children?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
But you know the crazy thing is I had them
on the tour. They were touring with us when they
were babies, so yes, but yeah, yeah, but they're homeschool.
Speaker 7 (16:10):
And they're so intelligent. They so well, I'll be like, man.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
Yeah that makes me feel so good. Yeah, I'm like
a proud mom moment. But yes, my babies are super intelligent.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
When you got off the tour and like you said,
you guys were going in your separate directions. Is that
when the Gates family farm came about and you started
to pour yourself into that.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
So actually early twenty twenty we made the Well. I
went to him when we were living in California at
like December twenty nineteen. I was like, look, I had
like this epiphany. I was like, I'm going to the farm.
You can come or you can stay here, and he
was like, you leave me. So so we went to
the farm together and then I mean COVID hit after that,
(16:55):
and then I mean, shit, everybody's life change, you know
what I'm saying. And like, for me, that was a
time for me to really really like really dive into
myself and work on myself because I mean, for seventeen
years I had devoted myself to you know, him and
his career. So for me, it was really just a
time for me to dive into myself. And I'm honest
to God, didn't care about anything else that was going
(17:18):
on with anybody else.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
And did you feel like even prior to the farm
and finding yourself, did you feel like you had to
something to prove and to achieve, you know, with his career,
like you quit school and stuff like that, and your
parents are probably like what are you going to do?
You know, and you made this big success out of
his career and now you know you're you're going to
make a life for yourself on this farm. How did
(17:39):
the farm help you?
Speaker 5 (17:40):
Oh man? Internally I received some of my biggest lessons,
like on the farm, just being in isolation with myself,
you know what I'm saying, Like you get a lot
of people are afraid to sit with themselves, you know
what I'm saying, True.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Deal with yourself, exactly and your issues exactly.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
But I was, I'm not gonna say happily in that place,
but I was in that place and I got the
opportunity to really grow into evolve into this fucking I'm
sorry patting myself on the back, but like this amazing
person that can now like when it comes to just
processing life's experiences, like I'm a beast at that. Like
you know what I'm saying, there's nothing you can go Yeah, yeah,
(18:20):
steps for myself, you know what I'm saying. But it's
like and I feel like that's something that everyone should do,
you know what I'm saying, Because for me, that was
kind of like also like an identity crisis, you know
what I'm saying, because like for seventeen years, you're this person,
you're you know what I'm saying. So I really just
like took that time out for myself. I took that
as an opportunity to really just really really work on myself.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
And did you have the support yes, from why you
were on the forum working on yourself, Like what was
the things that you were practicing, the you know, kind
of heal stuff that you've been through in your life.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Oh, a lot of a lot of people like to
call it like shadow work, because a lot of us
have the tendency to like project onto other people, or
we'll experience something and want to point the finger and
play victim and all that stuff. And it really took
me stepping outside of that and going back to shit
fucking childhood, you know what I'm saying, getting to the
(19:13):
root of why do I feel this way about this?
Why is this really bothering me? Anyways? You know what
I'm saying, and just really just getting to the root
of everything. You know, we have our triggers. You got
to get to the root of them, because it's really
not the person that's triggering you. It's some ship that's deep, deep,
deep down in Yeah.
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Why Mississippi out of all places?
Speaker 5 (19:36):
Okay, So now that's not the roll Mississippi. Yeah, Sippy
is about to turn up. Okay, every time.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Another roll Misissippi off from Markansas. So hey, my neighbor,
my neighbor, So why Mississippi? And what part of Mississippi?
Speaker 5 (19:50):
So ma co Mississippi. It's like an hour ten min.
It's north of New Orleans. Okay, Right, So I actually
spent my summers in Mississippi at my grandmother's great grandmothers
h house. So it's kind of like a had like
a kind of full circle moment with going back to
the farm.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
Did the land speak to you when you went out there?
Speaker 6 (20:07):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Yes, And I'm talking about on some like ancestrals like
type stuff, not the fact that, okay, we bought this
land in this hours. No, like this really belongs to us,
like our place like that.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
How did you acquire the farm? Like where did how
did you did you go out there? Were you just
driving an open road and said this is it?
Speaker 5 (20:30):

had like a second home up there, and my dad
was like, y'all want to get like a property up here.
And we were like, okay, whatever, like we'll go there
when we have time. And so we got in twenty

I'll probably do like a little meditation or something, and
then I go outside, walk around, check on the animals,
all that good stuff. Go inside, I see the kids,
and the kids are getting ready to start school, and
then I start my day. Really after that work.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Now you say you've work out, Now, is that where
the drenk of wellness comes from?
Speaker 7 (23:32):
So drink of Wellness.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
I have been working on this actually for like years,
but didn't have the time, and then during COVID I
had the time, so I was able to like get
all that together and launch it in twenty twenty one.
But yeah, it's all about it's based on like just
health and wellness. I just it's not a place where
I get to share like the things that I've created
(23:55):
myself and things that have helped me like on my journey.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
So, yeah, you have skincare or.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
Candles, crystals, books, bracelets, all things well yeah, hair products,
you know, and you have like over one thousand and
five star reviews, which is amazing, and that's not easy
to get.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
No, it's not okay, and I'm not going to because
I want like people's genuine like opinions of the products.
But I put a lot of love into it and
it's not My ship is not white label.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
I use my own products, like you.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Go in my bath.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
This ain't no influencer thing with somebody.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
No, this is like my ship gotch my custom formula
is my everything. Like I said, your skin looks really good.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
So I'm pretty sure that you know they watch and
they're like, man, I want that one now.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Who can use these products? Men?
Speaker 5 (24:47):
Men can use them.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
To actually have a lot of men that use the product.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
So that's why one of your friends she was like,
I was like, man, I think I put on too much.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
She's like, you put on lotion exactly on oil. I
was like, but so we're not supposed to put on lotion.
Speaker 7 (25:03):
It's cleaner to put on like an oil, something that's in.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Its whole show a life, little path.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Of course, ye can y'all make that happens as a
roast to me about putting on lotion.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
So I would come in here, ashy. I do reviews too,
So matter of fact, I'm gonna have my wife do
a review.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
I love it. Make sure you send it over so
we can, yes, put it on blast.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
So if somebody's looking to heal themselves and going into
you know, I want to really take this seriously.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
My healing journey.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
What should they start with as far as your products go,
should they get a candle a crystal to start? Uh?
Speaker 7 (25:44):
You know, body butter.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Body butter.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
You know what's so crazy?
Speaker 5 (25:48):
It's going to be something the thing that you don't
put on your body, because I feel like everything starts
with like the mental. And so I have this journal
and I call it high Vibe writing, and it's where
you write for like twelve minutes. It's like you can
be pissed off whatever you're pissed off, whoever you're pissed
off with. It's like you just go in right, you
write for twelve minutes straight and then you like burn
(26:09):
it and that kind of like neutralizes the negativity. And
so that is like where I would honestly tell people
that's where you would start at, because for me, it's
all about like releasing and then you refill your body
with the good stuff.
Speaker 7 (26:22):
Yeah, the Earth Signed Virgo is just just released.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
I feel like you you need that just a flute
behind you know.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Your voice, your memoir and just.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
You know, a nice music behind it with waterfall.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Yes, that's my whole vibe.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yeah, that's the vibes.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
I can feel it. I can feel it.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
You have a garden as well, Yes, I do. What
is the benefits of growing your own? And do you
recommend that to people?
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Yes, even if you grow like on a freaking window
sill or out of pots on your balcony, like I
do recommend it. The food is different. It's not what
you're going to get out of the store. It's like
it's going to be packed with nutrients, is going to
be packed with love because you grew it yourself and
you're going to really appreciate it, like that ship is
really rewarding.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
So like what's in your garden?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
Oh yeah, so I have to get ready for this.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
I'm sure you have to learn what to grow, how
to grow it?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Can't just plant a pineapple.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Tree and expect that thing to grow coconut or whatever.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Hell no, I've had a lot of trial and errors.
But like okrah is one of my favorite things.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
It grows wow too, Like like how do you plant okra?
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Is a plant? But then it grows up into like
a stalk?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Corn?
Speaker 5 (27:45):

I love it, Yes, I mean even like what I
was telling you about with just processing experiences and stuff
like that. Like my kids are all fucking beast with
like dealing with people and that just makes me so
proud them. Like I love that because I feel like
at the end of the day, I don't I'm not
gonna say I don't care if you know how to
count or not, but I need you to be able
to know how to life like for real, for real,
(35:09):
you know what I'm saying, because a lot of people
end up like That's why there's such a People call
it like a mental health crisis, but it's just really
because people don't know how to process the shit that
they're experiencing in life, you know. And it's not to
downplay that, you know, but I feel like that is
a very important tool that we need to be teaching
our kids self mastery how to life. You know.
Speaker 7 (35:32):
Are they in school now or are they still homeschool?
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (35:35):
No, my kids are homeschool. They will be homeschool until
they're done.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Any particular reason why.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
For me, I feel like I'm my child's best teacher
at the end of the day, and the schools now
are little they're starting to get a little too progressive
for my liking.
Speaker 7 (35:53):
Take that.
Speaker 5 (35:53):
How you want to.
Speaker 7 (35:56):
Do they play like sports? To get interaction with o?
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Yes, yes, yes, they play softball, baseball, soccer, things like that.
Speaker 7 (36:05):
Okay, yeah, Rotti, they do they Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 4 (36:08):
Because a lot of people think, you know, some parents
would think like homeschool, like they need to go be
around regular kids and have you know, those type of interactions.
Speaker 5 (36:16):
And they do. They interact with regular kids. And then
they also like they travel, like a lot of the
times when we're traveling stuff, the kids are with us,
so they're getting to experience like all of these amazing
things and interact with all types of different people. So yeah, are.
Speaker 7 (36:31):
They picking up wanting to do what their parents do
at all?
Speaker 6 (36:36):
I want to be yeah this mom, I want to
do that dad.
Speaker 7 (36:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
It's funny because my daughter, she was actually on her
way to being an actress when we were in California,
but she's so she was tired of being in traffic
every day, so she like stopped. She had an agent
and everything, but now she's wanting to get back into it.
And I'm like, are you sure, Like do you know
that means you're gonna have to go back to California
and like be in the mix again. So my daughter
(37:03):
does like she's and she actually has a great voice.
But yeah, my son, no, he wants to just play
this video came gamer.
Speaker 4 (37:15):
That's some decent money. Now, I know you might need
to get back in that management role. He starts streaming.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Look if they do I will be the best my.
Speaker 7 (37:29):
Kids career like that part.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Yes, speaking of kids, do you what do you think
about kids in social media?
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Ooh, that's a really touchy touchy, touchy, touchy touchy subject
for me. Like my kid, my daughter, like she loves
creating the videos and things like that, but her account
is on private because it's like people can be really
harsh and I don't want that. I'm not going to
say that. I'm trying to like shelter them. But at
the same time, you don't have to experience that either,
you know what I'm saying. You don't have to be
(37:58):
exposed to all of that. So, but my kids are
they're very intelligent, so they know, you know, when if
they run across something and it's just they know to
pass on by, like just keep it moving.
Speaker 6 (38:11):
Ney advice for like parents and kids, you know with
social media out there, who's like, well, I need to
have my baby be famous, that's what they'd be trying
to be doing, Like I know, yes, their kids or
not said, yeah, I don't really believe in that because
(38:32):
the industry, you guys know, y'all in the industry, the
industry is tough.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
You know what I'm saying I call.
Speaker 7 (38:36):
It the matrix because it's like you can just tell
the matrix.
Speaker 6 (38:41):
You know, we're just talking about the Nickelodeon doc and
we see how you know, parents should have been more
involved in them.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Understand how. I'm like, how's that going on?
Speaker 5 (38:51):
And because they're not there and present, like that's why
I said, if my kids got into it, no, I'm
going to be the manager fu all that, like I
got them, you know, but that's not that's not something
I'd recommend. And if you do do it, you need
to be there. You need to be present for everything.
Speaker 6 (39:09):
So well, speaking to kids one more time. You are
a doula?
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Yeah, how did I mean?
Speaker 2 (39:16):
I understand it.
Speaker 6 (39:17):
I understand how you got there because you just overall HeLa.
Speaker 7 (39:20):
You know, you've been healing since you.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
Was off tour.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
But how did the doula come about you? Like, did
you wake up on it? I need to be a duel.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I had a dream for people who don't know what
is a doula.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
So a birth doula is something that is something somebody
that really just accompanies like the woman through She's just
there to support the woman, like at the woman. I
mean the birthing.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yeah no, I'm.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Saying no, Okay, I have to say this real quick
because they're making us say birthing person. That's why I'm
crossing there. But yeah, I'm just there to support the woman,
whether she wants like a massage, needs her feet massage
or a back massage, or just helping her with different
(40:03):
techniques to cope with like the pain.
Speaker 6 (40:06):
And understanding the journey, yes, knowing what to ask for
exactly so, like so as a childbirth educator, because I'm
a certified childbirth educator as well, it's my job to
make sure that you know, like what's going on with
your body, like because it's a very natural process, like
our bodies are made to do this.
Speaker 7 (40:24):
It just all I have to help.
Speaker 5 (40:26):
My goal is to help them to remove the fears
and make have them all the way knowledgeable about what's
happening so that they're not like this and causing even
more pain. You know.
Speaker 7 (40:35):
So have you been through how many pregnancies have you
been a part of.

thing come into the world, like, it's amazing. I love
it's went you to that career. I'm just really passionate
about that. I've had both of my kids. Both of
my kids were born here in Atlanta, Okay, in my townhouse,
in my bedroom, in a water, in a little birthing pool.

I wouldn't have never imagined it any other way.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
Dree con vertgo gates way.
Speaker 7 (41:22):

Speaker 5 (41:27):
Then, yeah, so the midwife is actually they're there to
actually help with the birth, and then like the duela
is there to support. Yeah.

It's like a year long commitment, but it's not so
and love and the sense of oh Trotty's new positions.
It's not that it's sex and love and a sense
of like healing, because sex is very healing. It's like
when a man and woman exchange energy, like and it's
equally like it can be a beautiful thing, like it's
real true medicine, like for the body, for our souls.
(42:20):
So that's like the aspect of the sex. That's where
I'm coming with it. Yeah, And it's beautiful and it's
also it goes down to getting to know ourselves, both
the man and the woman, you know, coming together with
knowledge of self like.

uh in what sense?
