Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yes, well I breathe music, so I do it in between.
When I was filming Fight Night, I was going back
and between Coachella rehearsals and everything like that. So you
make time for what you love.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And how was doing fighting now? Because you had so
many people in there, Kevin Hard, Samuel L. Jackson, to Raji,
so many people. How was working with that cast?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
It was amazing. Every time I'd go to set, I
pinched myself. I specifically remember, like during a lunch break
or when we wrapped that day, to Roger and I.
We were in our sweats, you know, doing stunt rehearsals,
and I was like, this is insane, Like I look
up to this woman, and you know, even doing the
scene with Samuel L. Jackson, and I was just like
(01:32):
so pumped and nervous right before. I was like, Okay,
you gotta hold your own because this is sam And
he was just so gracious, and Kevin and Don and Terrence,
like everyone's just been so amazing. And I love Will
for even putting me in that space.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Do you keep it cool with them or do you
ask them a lot of questions?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Do they have to tell you not to call me
mister Jackson and not have to call me miss Hinson?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
You know, I think I do a pretty good job
at keeping it cool, Okay. You know, of course, inside
I'm not gonna lie I fan girl. I'd be lying
if I was like, oh, yeah, no, I'm chilling. No
it's an honor to be in the room with them,
and it's just really exciting. And I definitely did learn
a lot like a sponge.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Any intimidation at all because they have so many years in.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Of course, are you kidding me? Of course, but you're
your own start.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But I'm just you know, asking like because they have
they've been doing it for twenty plus years.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yes, we're we're all our own star in our own right.
But it's always nice to have figures to look up to.
So when there's people in places that you wish to
be and you have experienced things that you have wished
to see, it's really amazing when you can be in
a room to pick their brain.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
You know, gotcha and you play Lena Mosley?
Speaker 4 (02:35):

a lover, not a fighter. Okay, you know what I mean.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I got a fight in this room every day.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
Why it starts, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
It's okay, it's all right.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
You got me.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
That's what got her where he at the coddling back
to Lena. You said she's one of the guys. Yes,
So explain to me, like when you say she's one
of the guys, Like, how does she fit in the
world of like the gangsters and the thieves?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
And so she goes under cover. So she convinces Chicken Man,
who plays Kevin Hart, well, Kevin Hart plays Chicken Man.
And she's like, hey, I'm gonna be a part of
one of the go Go girls. Does she give this energy?
Because you she does give this energy. And what I
really love about her is her weapon of choice is
her hairpin. Oh and that's like it personifies a woman.
You know, it's feminine. It looks cute, but she will
(03:54):
cut somebody.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
With it, right, Wow, okay hair pin?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
How does she to be an auntie? Now?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
It feels amazing. It's like life has an extra layer
of meaning. I love Halo so much.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
How are you with the baby changing pampas, changing diapers?
Are you that aunty or you don't want to be
like you know, this is your child, you change the
pampa and then bring it back.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I'm the fun Auntie. Okay, you know I do all
the fun stuff with him, So I keep all of
that stuff for them.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Get rich Auntie in the future too, Oh yes, right now,
keep that energy.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
When he wants some.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Money, Oh yes, I will. I will spoil him anything. Hello,
what you need? I got you?
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Does it make you want to have like your own babies?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Like?
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Is it making you kind of prepare for that?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Absolutely? Not for a while?
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Like what's a while? Like six years? Okay, six years?
You know how old are you?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Twenty six?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I think six years is good. But you know, you
can never really plan your life. It's all really on
God's timing. But if I could, right say, like six years,
got you?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
And then as like Auntie, I know your sister talked
a lot about like going through postpartum and all that stuff.
Are you guys, like how is she doing with that?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
How do you help her through that? Because I know
you didn't experience it, but you're you guys are so close.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
So yeah, well, I don't want to speak on her
journey necessarily, but no matter what each of us go through,
We're always there for each other, no matter what, and
I'm just happy that we can cling onto each other,
like even when I'm in need or need her like
she's always there for me, as I will always be
for her like I'm I'm mama bear when it comes
to Halle, like I always protect her.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Does it bother you?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Like when you see stuff online with like when like
the memes of your nephew and like with DDG, he's
always posted the videos the haircut thing.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Does that stuff bother you?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Well, that's not my baby. Yeah, it's my baby, but
he has great parents and I just I'm happy to
witness him grow.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Gotcha.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah, you know that the album is called Troubling Paradise,
and I know you spend a lot of time in
Saint Lucia. You said that it inspired the album. What
was the inspiration? What about Saint Lucia?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Okay, So Saint Lucia has been like my sanctuary. I
have found peace there, comfort, happiness, joy and not saying
that it erases life's problems, but it makes it a
little bit easier to deal with. So I literally wrote
away my troubles in paradise.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
And what I love about this body of work is
it feels like what a summer fling feels like, you
know what I mean. It's exciting, it has its ups
and downs. You know, it's not too serious. But then again,
it really feels heavy in the moment. Yes, in the moment,
it just feels like this is the one.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
But then it's like my labor day, you like, you
know what, Yeah, I've yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So I love the project.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Do you remember a place that you found peace before?
Saint Lucian?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Wow? No? Wow?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
So when I found it, I was like, this is
what it's like to live.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, is a Kansas water of course?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
When you say to live, is it because like you've
been famous and like kind of in the spotlight for
a long time, or do you just mean like just
because they live differently they're very free on the islands,
or like, well, what do you mean by to live?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It gave a.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
New definition to living because this is all I've known
my whole life, you know, I've been in the spotlight
or however you want to call it, since I've been
like a little girl. So my life, you know, my goals,
my dreams, my aspirations, what makes me happy. It's all
been based on my career and how people view me
in that space. But it's also about your internal your character,
(07:27):
how you feel mentally, your heart. And when I went there,
I was like, Okay, this is true peace. It has
nothing to do with how people view me as an artist,
but actually as a human being.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I was. I was triggered by your album a little bit.
Why tell me why He's life skinned myself at the
other age with me?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Are you about to cry?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Almost? You have a song on there called rolls mmm,
and I'm not talking flowers.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
We had a conversation the breakfast club one day about
how women use the rolls and how men you got.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
To dig deeper. Don't tell the story. If you're not
gonna tell it.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
You could go there. It's all right, he has some issues.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You're going to tell this story. You tell it.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
He has some issues a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know, some men look at the rolls and not
flowers as cheating, and you want women to charge the rose.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But how about men?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Now that's not fair because if you think a rose
is cheating, then you could say porn is cheating.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Some people do consider porn cheating. I don't like there
are some people who'll be like, we have to watch
it together. We don't need it any now, that's O
d in it.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
People can have fantasies.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, so this song and she really idolizes the rose
and I don't. I don't like your eyes.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
You buried the lead though, tell tell about the book?
Can tell book.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Wrote away her troubles?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's right away.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I have to hear this.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Oh yeah, okay, Wait.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Me and my wife have been together since sixteen.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Love it.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
When we first having sexual relations.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Don't look at me like that.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Because I'm just waiting. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
I don't know what I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Going hard for me to make her orgasm? Hold my hand? Please?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Why are you talking about this?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It was in the book we find out but for
five years? No, ten, don't you dick?
Speaker 6 (09:18):
You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It was not ten years you said in the don't
you laugh the book? Don't you laugh?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I'm not laughing for a while.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
It took me ten years a decade.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I could not make her reach orgasm.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
You can't get that.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's why you already.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I couldn't get there. That was the problem. That was
the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I couldn't get there because you know what, I
used to watch porn and I used to think bang
bang bang bang bang was the way, and I realized
it wasn't. And now the rose triggers me.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's why you hate toys.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yeah, you just need to build yourself up so that
you're not triggered by materialistic things. Right. You have to
better yourself, right, and that will solve the problem. It
should be an addition to you all's love.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So I agree, that's sound device.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Wow, thank you, you're welcome.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And why are you laughing back there? I see you
laughing back.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Then she's cracking up, honey.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
She is having a time over here, especially when he
said ten, when he doubled down.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
So she told you that she was honest about it.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
I should be honest.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I'm brilliant.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay, So let me tell you what happened.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
We've been married twenty three years together three years, I know,
but I want to tell her every.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Break.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
But it happened during the argument. She was like exactly,
and then it was it was bad, but we worked.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
We worked. He tried to flush the rolls down and
totally that's how.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I actually ran over it.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I put on the car ran over it. But yeah,
but we're good now.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
But we're right about it in the book. So couples
can learn from my from my mistake. Okay, any more questions.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I'm happy that it was ended in a positive way.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
So this album and even just hear you talking right now,
I feel like this is a lot. You're a lot
more like open about just you relationships wise, like sexuality.
I saw the video you posted when people were reacting
to the lyrics, and you was like, yeah, like it's life,
it happens, Like how has that been coming around? Even
been in a public eye? Like the dating stuff. I
(11:32):
know there was a photo with you and gonna, how
is all of this new world for you? Because you're
a lot more like you're you're here, You're sure, you're well.
It wasn't it's not that new, like it wasn't yesterday.
But there was an additional one outside of y'all.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Y'all were in La. So y'all were in La.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Remember you guys were in the store shopping and you
were like, no, no, no, he came here. You're like, no, no, no,
we're just friends. And then you perform with Offset, and
then there was a photo y'all at the party afterward.
Y'all are just stitting next to each other in the photo,
which sparks some more rumors.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
So her homework on you you No, I got to
get my pin in my hand.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I well you that girl, Thank you. I appreciate that.
We ain't gonna get around a question though, Oh no,
I'm listening, okay. So I want to know two things.
First of all, I want to know right because you
are who you are. He is who he is talking
about Gunner, And it's tough sometimes and people critique you
a lot about be your woman, and you date and
you have sex and you do these different things. So
(12:29):
is that tough trying to date at all? Removing Gunning
from the situation.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, Well, One, I'm really proud of everything that he's doing. Two, Honestly,
it is tough to date because even if I just
want to go out to grab a bike, say, talk
about music, if it's any one of the opposite sex,
it's like, oh, that's what she's dating, and I want
people to focus on me and my career. I don't
want to be connected to every man that I'm standing
(12:54):
next to. So because of that, I mean, I am
naturally a hermit, but because of that, I'm just like
extra cautious. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
And it's unfortunate though, because you are in the phase
where I'm sure you're dating, when to meet new people,
and it's a fun thing to be able to do.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Yeah, you can't do it publicly.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
But since those photos were public at one time, and
I know you guys have denied it and then the
offset thing happened, what is the what's the synergy there?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Like?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Is there nothing there for real?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Or you the status?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah? Like I just want to know.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
I feel like every time we get told there's nothing,
then it's like, y'all find each other somewhere.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, I mean we're both in the industry. He's doing
his thing, I'm doing my thing. He's doing really great,
by the way, So it's just all love.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, Okay, are you writing nowadays more from a reflective
standpoint or as a storyteller, because you know, I hear
records like might as well where you say things. I'm like,
I might fly a nigga to the south side, let
him hit it first night, then fall back.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Jesus, you know that's the new Chloe. I'm talking about Micirl.
You're here now.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
So it's like my external doesn't say these things, right,
but my internal feel that. So when I write, it's like,
coming from a standpoint, this is what i'd say to
you if you you know, if I had.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
The golf, I like that for you, though you fly
man out for real? No? Oh okay, if you like
who wouldn't do it?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
She ain't gonna be dealing with no Brokies.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Say that to them sometimes, but I don't.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I don't think I would do that. I mean, maybe
i'd go there instead so that I'm flying myself. You
feel me.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Dating somebody that might not have it like you did,
You wouldn't say, you know what, Boobo, I'm gonna fly
you to me into La I'm gonna fly you to
me to Saint Lucia, or I'm gonna fly you to wherever.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I would want them to at least be able to
get a flight to see me.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
There ain't nothing wrong with that, Yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Know, because I don't want to be like I don't
want to play like the masculine role and like make
him feel less than. So I'd rather not even visit
that he.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Forget that you're twenty six years old. I think a
lot of people still look at you as the young
teenager singing. Do you have a hard time with that?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
No, it kind of makes me laugh, especially when I
have no makeup on when I do look fifteen, and
I do have like a young spirit, So I mean,
it's okay. It's sometimes I'm like, gosh, I'm twenty six,
four years from thirty, let's let it go.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But what does your dad and auntie say about those lyrics?
Because you're such a family person. Yeah, and usually your
dad's here, so what do you what do they say
when they hear those lyrics?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
So, my Godmom, she's the first person I'll send the
songs to and she knows me like at the back
of my hand, so she will laugh a lot to
the lyrics, and then she'll also push me. And what
I really love too about how want Me came about
with Sis and I. When I played it for her,
she was like, this feels like a Colo and Haley record.
And I kept looping that in my head and I
was like you know what. So then I wrote Sister's
(15:55):
Verse and I was like, do you want to hop
on this with me? And it was nice that we
got to have a collaboration together after two years. So
it's like little things like that that I won't always
be previy or open to that she'll like call out.
So it's always nice to have someone that you'll trust.
Now for a song is she'll tell me there's too much?
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Yeah, are there ever any songs like because you have
temporarily single, all I got were like you're you know,
you're opening up about stuff where you're like, don't listen
to this one, y'all, like skip over that one?
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Like do you ever have this out on that?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I always get nervous anytime I play my music anytime,
really yes, because I'm burying my soul in the song
and it's like, okay, yeah, this is me. I don't
really show this. This is me. So it's like, I hope,
you know, people will like it, even the ones closest
to me, Like I'll get nervous. I'll have my head
down listening and looking up like this.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I love the relationship you have with your god brother
tu though, because you know that you hear people say, oh,
I'm the god mom, I'm the god dad, but you
don't see the godparents really act like it. Yeah, you
really hold you down like that? Has that always been
the case?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
It has like she's the first person to show me
what unconditional love truly looks?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Like, Wow, wow, anybody your parents? I am me too,
but I don't act like you got. I don't know
what it entails like, That's what I'm saying. When I
see him together.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I'm just like, if something happens to you know, they
will take over. Like I'm Halo's aunt, but I'm also
his god mom.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Wow, God's fit in for y'allough, because I don't know
who else is, Like you guys are the closest I've
never It's just it's y'all.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I know she I would have been like, excuse me,
why am I not the god?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
But it makes sense when you got a relationship when
somebody just labels you that and then you don't really
have a relationship with the child child, right, and then
something happened You're like, I don't know this person.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I think I have.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I think we all god parents on birthdays and holidays, Right,
You're not you don't say gifts at all.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I don't even know what it means.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
That's why I said, when I see them, it's like,
oh okay, that's how it was supposed to be.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
It's supposed to be like your backup angel. It's like,
you know, like you might need to call them for something.
You might need to God, Dad, I need some money.
You might need to advice.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It depends on the relationship.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I like how you said, like the little backup guardian, Like.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
That's I think my guy mom, who's also my aunt
as well too. It's my grandma's sister. But I feel
like we are like kindred spirits and it just God
made it.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
That way, you know.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
But I have a question for you about you mentioned
like when you play your music for people, when people
hear your music, you always get nervous.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
How do you deal with critiques?
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Because I know John B came out and that was
like a whole thing when he said that you're gonna
song that you remade of his?
Speaker 7 (18:25):
What song was it?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
The they don't know was ratchet and people were upset
at him for saying that, Like, how did you feel
about that?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Well? John B is an incredible artist. If that song
didn't exist. We couldn't sample it. So I love what
Gunna and I did to it. And you know, I'm
sad he feels that way, but hey, everyone has opinions.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You also say he didn't it didn't get clear, and
I was like it had to get clear.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yeah that I do.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You know who John B was before that?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Of course, of course.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Asking no, don't get on.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
They talk to me like.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
I'm younger, I'm just like you.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
It's like, no, I might not know everything, but no,
it's really important to like listen to her and trust
like the youth and like she's so smart. What's your birthday?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
November twenty second?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Are you sad? I'm sad, said okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
It don't have nothing to do with youth, chlaud it
has a fact she sometimes I'm not sure her people
just don't be knowing stuff, that's all.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yes, but if she doesn't know something, we can't say
it's because of her youth.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Yes, you just don't know that you are an informer. Yeah,
I get it. Yeah, it's just little things though.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Like what like what you wanted to add?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You wanted somebody you know, we call the TIA a queen.
She didn't know it was Queen Latifa.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
No, that's not true.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
He asked me, did I know Queen Latifa's real name?
That's what he asked me.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
That's not true.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
It started from, Yeah, I didn't know's real name because
I'm like, it's LLOKUJ, Like, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
That's that's on the things I think people should know.
But that goes back to when we were younger.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
We had to read the album credit correct, like we
would watch the movies, watch the TV shows and look
at the end credits to see what people were doing.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
That I do miss. I feel like that art is gone,
Like that's something that I would have appreciated.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You know, do you really feel like? Nice girls finished last?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
So I do feel that way, and in your case,
your wife did mhm. Oh that's good.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
That's what the song's about. That's what the song is about.
The song is about face value. That was such a bout.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Don't let it fool you, don't let it don't That's
what the song is about. Finished last.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
A man.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
We cater to the man and the nice Girl finished
his last and then we referenced Janet Jackson at the
end on the last line of the song. That's what
the song is about. It was not.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Basically what you're saying that women should speak up for
themselves more and if they're not getting.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
What they want, it's like a it's like a window.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
And you also are you also speaking like romantically, like
sexually as well. That's that's and yeah, because you want
to it's all about like pleasing your partner.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Sorry, it was not a stab.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
It on YouTube the way she looked at it and said,
and that's what your wife found.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Somebody told me that he needs to use.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Rolls over here.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but that's what the song is about.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
That's what it's about, Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Like taking the back seat and like not in your partner,
you know.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
As a as a as a woman, like because one
of the things that I feel like i'm learning right now.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Is she's single, by the way I am.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
And I'm enjoying.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Because I'm having to throw stuff, but I've been enjoying it.
And I will say though, like one of the things
I had to learn is like how to take a
back seat because I wasn't just naturally, like that wasn't
in my household. But then he made me forget everything
I was about to say. As as a as a
woman who you know, your very career oriented, you have
(22:30):
a lot going for yourself all that stuff. How do
you deal with knowing when to take the back seat
and knowing when to be like, no, I'm not doing
that because you don't want to intimidate the guy.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
That's a really great question. So for me, I like
to be babied a bit, like because I am in
a field where I do have to lead and speak
up for myself and you know, command the room and everything.
It's nice to be able to come to a space
that you're comfortable where you can let that down. I
(23:00):
feel like every woman wants to protect her they just
have to find the man who can protect right. And
I feel like that's when we don't feel that way,
that's when we feel like we have to stick our
chest out because it's like fight or flight. But when
we feel like someone is capable enough to carry us,
to shield us, you know, when the storm gets crazy,
(23:20):
that's when we kind of take that backseat role. So
it's really about who you find comfortable being that vulnerable with.
I feel I agree.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
With that you so calm, really Yeah, You're.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Right, you shit not the way that envy before.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I can't tell now being that you are who you are, Cloud,
do you really feel like fuck your status when it
comes to guys because you got a song that I'm
called f.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Y you really feel that way? You really feel like
all I need is love.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
I don't need nothing else, money, your.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Position, job.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Honestly, yes, I still want someone with drive and someone
who has ambition so that we can build each other up.
But I think being in a world where it's so
superficial and everything is based on what you have, what
are you doing next? This sometimes it gets a little
(24:18):
suffocating and redundant. So it's nice to just have someone
who loves you just for you, so you.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Would date like somebody that wasn't in the industry, like
you got to drive ups or something.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
No, but someone not in the industry.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
But I think a lot of times too, when when
people ask that question, I mean it's like I get it,
But like when people ask that question too, Like one
of the conversations people don't have is sometimes like when
finances aren't right, or like even just status right, Like
we could both be making the same money, but I'm
more outward than you are. I've never come across the
man that has been secure enough in himself to be
okay with that, And it causes problems even if you
(24:54):
don't bring them in. And that's why women we kind
of do that to protect ourselves sometimes. So I think
it gets unfairly thrown on women. You're very successful. It
gets unfairly thrown on you when you say, oh, I
have a preference. But the preference sometimes a protect yourself.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
What would be wrong with a ups driver? That's what
somebody would say.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Everybody has a preference. Nothing's wrong with the ups driver,
nothing's wrong with them at all. Would I date someone maybe?
Maybe not, just like everyone has a preference. They like
a woman with the big booty, they like a woman
with tiny titties. Everybody has a preference.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
You would date somebody short, though.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I would date someone who I'm the same height with
with heels on.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
Yeah, I've not known somebody who's kind of your height,
who we've seen them in photos together already.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Do you keep going back to.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Ask I'm asking you, would you like if today he's like,
we need to do this, would you lock in?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Like?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Is the is the relationship there? Where you guys are
friends enough. I understand you're just friends now, but you
guys are friends enough where you would be like, you
know what, I would explore this.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
I think we're both living like our own lives.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
You're so good at this, good at what the answers,
your answers.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I'm just being honest. Okay, go ahead, Yeah, just we're
just living our own lives.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Did you like his physical transformation?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, I'm really proud of him. It's always great when
someone transforms their life like that.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
You know, he did the right way, no surgery, no bbls.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
He looks great.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Yeah, were you asking her or telling her?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Confused?
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Were you confused when.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I told you what is your problem? Yeh, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
But I was going to say you open the album.
I think it's all I got, But correct me if
I'm wrong. And you talk about like there's like a
guy who he's like not the fall guy, but he's
always there for you, and he's always there for you
in all the right ways.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
But that's not the guy you like or want to
be with. But then there's this other.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Guy like you have the this is the ideal guy,
but he doesn't know how to be for be there
for you in the same way.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
What's your experience been like with that? Like and how
to ask.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Which one is gonna That's what she wants to ask.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
What inspired that song?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
So?
Speaker 4 (27:07):
What inspired the song? You guys love talking about him?
But inspired the crazy I hadn't read that, right.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
I literally didn't even say it this time.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I just was interested in that.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Yeah, you know, I think every girl has that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
What inspired the song though, for me is that you
want to feel safe and secure, but then at the
same time you also want someone to push you out
of your comfort zone. So it's the catch twenty two
because we all just ough it's life, life be life.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
So you like the bad guy, you like the guy
that's gonna keep you secure and the safe back the ladder.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
The ladder men listen to your albums and like, like
like use it as a blueprint, Like should they use it,
like how people use Steve Harvey.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Books or just the stuff you're writing? Do you really
mean a lot they.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Can if they would like to. Okay, Okay, yeah, you know,
I mean there might be some girls who have experienced
things I've experienced. There might be not. But it was
really fun, you know, just coming from such a stance
of power as being a woman and being in the islands,
you know, just looking out at the water as I'm
creating this music. It was just something about it. It
(28:11):
was just like so you I did, Wow, I did.
We had a villa flew out producer, engineer and it
was just so nice. And every night we'd go out
experience the music. I'd go swimming, come back in record.
It was just the most freeing experience I did. Yes,
(28:32):
so for Springs, So Springs, I was amazing. I love it.
It's so so cleansing.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
What's fun relaxed you like, like no work, Like on
a day where you're not working in Saint Lucia, You're
not Chloe. You just somebody that's there and like experience
and have a good time.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Like what are you?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Like?
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Are you the staying on the couch friend? You're the
spy friend? Like which one are you?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
I'm the friend who has my bathing suit on and
my big baggy sweatpants and I go straight to the
beach and I lounge out there all day and I'll
eat good food or be on a boat and jump off.
Adventurous friend, Yes you adventurous friend.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I also read one time that you said when you
enjoy acting because it helps train your brain, not the
aim for perfection. So have you been describing for perfection
and everything else that your career path, your personal life.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
When it comes to performing and music, you kind of
have to You're only as good as your last performance,
and you know you rehearse for hours to make sure
the choreography is perfect. You make sure you can sing
the song perfectly so that it's like so you know,
for me, I just love acting as well because it's
(29:38):
like it taps into a piece of me where I
can be really raw and vulnerable and open, and when
you are channeling an actual human being, there's beauty in
the flaws.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
And how channeling.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
How hard is it to try to chase perfection though, Like,
because I feel like you'll beat yourself up if you
don't feel like you're doing things perfectly.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
You'll constantly it'll be like a endless cycle, like a
hamster and a wheel. And for me, there's so many
times I've done that, but it's like it'll be a
losing battle. So it's a catch twenty two as well a.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Lot because a lot of times that can lead to
like depression that can lead to like anxiety because you
think you're not doing things, you're not doing enough.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Yeah, of course, what was an experience that made you
like realize okay, Like I got to learn to step
off the wheel? Like do you remember a moment where
you're like, ooh, I'm hit in rock bottle right now?
I got to step off the wheel.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I think it was last year, and it was like
you know when you kind of go numb a bit
and you kind of nothing really phases you. Yeah, that's
when you're like, okay, I've lost feeling. How do I
get that back? You don't want to ever give up
(30:51):
to a point where you stop caring. So I'm happy
that my love and care has come back. But what
I really appreciate is how you constantly do talk about
mental health because it is important, and I feel like,
especially in the black community, it's overlooked or like it's
frowned upon sometimes, but more recently it hasn't been. But
I think therapy is important. I think, you know, talking
(31:13):
to the people, your loved ones so that you're not
suffering or going through anything alone. I think all of
that's important.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Did it help you get out that space? Like therapy and.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, for sure over here.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
God yeah, you said a line one time, you said,
people who you think will be there for the rest
of your life, people who you think have your back
through and through, they have the knife Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Yep, that's life. And I think what has been healthy
for me is knowing that everybody goes through kind of
the similar thing. It kind of takes me out of
the moment of being like woe is me? Like of
course I still do. You know, I'll be like damn,
and I'll allow myself to feel but it's like, Okay,
(31:56):
someone is going through something similar. You're not alone, and
it's like, Okay, this is just life. And that's how
I'll generalize it.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
To keep pushing boundaries.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
That's that's my big learning lesson Right now. I'm getting there.
I'm getting there.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Where were you if you don't mind me asking what
was going on in your life at the time where
you had to step off the wheel and you got numb?
Because I remember what I was going through specifically.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
It was a factor of things. It was a factor
of things. It's like I think there's always that little
cherry on top. Yeah, and it's like, whoa. But what
is important is that you always continue to get back
up and having people who can help you get back up.
So I'm standing now.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
There you go. How was it when you and Highy
got back in the studio.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
It was amazing. We were in New York. Actually, we
had like a press event here and I was like, Sis, okay,
here's the verse. You like it. She's like I love it.
I was like come, She's like, okay, I'm bringing Halo
to the studio. He was there at the engineering board
with me, and she just sounded so beautiful and she
just pushed the record to be even more special.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
It's hard to get her to do anything other than
it be nowadays.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
No, she is multifaceted, like she's doing so much. She's
been filming, taking care of Halo. Even when I was
filming in New Orleans, she came to visit me for
a weekend because I was like feeling lonely. So I
was happy.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
I know you guys do your It is tea time. Yes,
y'all started it back up and I saw Halo was
in one of them. What it is like because you've
always been close, but now she's a mom, so she's
experiencing different things. Is the relationship different now or is
it the same. But you just have to know she's
also a mom too, like what was the what was that?
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Like?
Speaker 4 (33:31):
In a really weird way, it's gotten stronger. Okay, I
can't explain it. It's just like I think because we
both have a deeper appreciation for life now, seeing something
so pure and innocent like that, it has made our
bond stronger.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Y'all women now, it's it's like a different level of womanhood.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
And that's what I feel through this, this this project.
That's why I'm like you hear like, I'm happy for you.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Thank you, thank you so much, happy that you enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Let's let's can we play a joint other than rolls
off the album?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Could you not find a way to hate this morning?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Please? Jesus Sorry, chlaure you just wrapped goons? Yes, I

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Fight Night is out. How do you have to have
the record albums?
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Are you working?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Working?
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yes, well I breathe music, so I do it in between.
When I was filming Fight Night, I was going back
and between Coachella rehearsals and everything like that. So you
make time for what you love.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And how was doing fighting now? Because you had so
many people in there, Kevin Hard, Samuel L. Jackson, to Raji,
so many people. How was working with that cast?
Speaker 4 (01:12):
It was amazing. Every time I'd go to set, I
pinched myself. I specifically remember, like during a lunch break
or when we wrapped that day, to Roger and I.
We were in our sweats, you know, doing stunt rehearsals,
and I was like, this is insane, Like I look
up to this woman, and you know, even doing the
scene with Samuel L. Jackson, and I was just like
(01:32):
so pumped and nervous right before. I was like, Okay,
you gotta hold your own because this is sam And
he was just so gracious, and Kevin and Don and Terrence,
like everyone's just been so amazing. And I love Will
for even putting me in that space.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Do you keep it cool with them or do you
ask them a lot of questions?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Do they have to tell you not to call me
mister Jackson and not have to call me miss Hinson?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
You know, I think I do a pretty good job
at keeping it cool, Okay. You know, of course, inside
I'm not gonna lie I fan girl. I'd be lying
if I was like, oh, yeah, no, I'm chilling. No
it's an honor to be in the room with them,
and it's just really exciting. And I definitely did learn
a lot like a sponge.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Any intimidation at all because they have so many years in.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Of course, are you kidding me? Of course, but you're
your own start.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But I'm just you know, asking like because they have
they've been doing it for twenty plus years.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yes, we're we're all our own star in our own right.
But it's always nice to have figures to look up to.
So when there's people in places that you wish to
be and you have experienced things that you have wished
to see, it's really amazing when you can be in
a room to pick their brain.
Speaker 7 (02:32):
You know, gotcha and you play Lena Mosley?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I do so? Who is she? Lena? She is technically
one of the guys. She's the only girl a part
of the robbers. Oh, yes, so you're getting busy. She's
getting busy, Robin so ain, No, I want to learn?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah, you from the South, you got to I know.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I know how to box. Oh I've never had to
use my skills, but I.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Trained box. You know the box?
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
How much would I have to pay you to punch?
Your cousin in the face.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Oh, I would not do service. No, no, no, I'm
a lover, not a fighter. Okay, you know what I mean.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I got a fight in this room every day.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
Why it starts, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
It's okay, it's all right.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
You got me.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
That's what got her where he at the coddling back
to Lena. You said she's one of the guys. Yes,
So explain to me, like when you say she's one
of the guys, Like, how does she fit in the
world of like the gangsters and the thieves?
Speaker 4 (03:33):
And so she goes under cover. So she convinces Chicken Man,
who plays Kevin Hart, well, Kevin Hart plays Chicken Man.
And she's like, hey, I'm gonna be a part of
one of the go Go girls. Does she give this energy?
Because you she does give this energy. And what I
really love about her is her weapon of choice is
her hairpin. Oh and that's like it personifies a woman.
You know, it's feminine. It looks cute, but she will
(03:54):
cut somebody.
Speaker 7 (03:55):
With it, right, Wow, okay hair pin?
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
How does she to be an auntie? Now?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
It feels amazing. It's like life has an extra layer
of meaning. I love Halo so much.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
How are you with the baby changing pampas, changing diapers?
Are you that aunty or you don't want to be
like you know, this is your child, you change the
pampa and then bring it back.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
I'm the fun Auntie. Okay, you know I do all
the fun stuff with him, So I keep all of
that stuff for them.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Get rich Auntie in the future too, Oh yes, right now,
keep that energy.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
When he wants some.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Money, Oh yes, I will. I will spoil him anything. Hello,
what you need? I got you?
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Does it make you want to have like your own babies?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
Like?
Speaker 7 (04:34):
Is it making you kind of prepare for that?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Absolutely? Not for a while?
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Like what's a while? Like six years? Okay, six years?
You know how old are you?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Twenty six?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I think six years is good. But you know, you
can never really plan your life. It's all really on
God's timing. But if I could, right say, like six years,
got you?
Speaker 6 (04:52):
And then as like Auntie, I know your sister talked
a lot about like going through postpartum and all that stuff.
Are you guys, like how is she doing with that?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Are you?
Speaker 6 (05:01):
How do you help her through that? Because I know
you didn't experience it, but you're you guys are so close.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
So yeah, well, I don't want to speak on her
journey necessarily, but no matter what each of us go through,
We're always there for each other, no matter what, and
I'm just happy that we can cling onto each other,
like even when I'm in need or need her like
she's always there for me, as I will always be
for her like I'm I'm mama bear when it comes
to Halle, like I always protect her.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Does it bother you?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Like when you see stuff online with like when like
the memes of your nephew and like with DDG, he's
always posted the videos the haircut thing.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Does that stuff bother you?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Well, that's not my baby. Yeah, it's my baby, but
he has great parents and I just I'm happy to
witness him grow.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
Gotcha.
Speaker 5 (05:47):
Yeah, you know that the album is called Troubling Paradise,
and I know you spend a lot of time in
Saint Lucia. You said that it inspired the album. What
was the inspiration? What about Saint Lucia?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Okay, So Saint Lucia has been like my sanctuary. I
have found peace there, comfort, happiness, joy and not saying
that it erases life's problems, but it makes it a
little bit easier to deal with. So I literally wrote
away my troubles in paradise.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
And what I love about this body of work is
it feels like what a summer fling feels like, you
know what I mean. It's exciting, it has its ups
and downs. You know, it's not too serious. But then again,
it really feels heavy in the moment. Yes, in the moment,
it just feels like this is the one.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
But then it's like my labor day, you like, you
know what, Yeah, I've yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
So I love the project.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Do you remember a place that you found peace before?
Saint Lucian?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Wow? No? Wow?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
So when I found it, I was like, this is
what it's like to live.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Yeah, is a Kansas water of course?
Speaker 5 (06:51):
You know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Okay, Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
When you say to live, is it because like you've
been famous and like kind of in the spotlight for
a long time, or do you just mean like just
because they live differently they're very free on the islands,
or like, well, what do you mean by to live?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It gave a.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
New definition to living because this is all I've known
my whole life, you know, I've been in the spotlight
or however you want to call it, since I've been
like a little girl. So my life, you know, my goals,
my dreams, my aspirations, what makes me happy. It's all
been based on my career and how people view me
in that space. But it's also about your internal your character,
(07:27):
how you feel mentally, your heart. And when I went there,
I was like, Okay, this is true peace. It has
nothing to do with how people view me as an artist,
but actually as a human being.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
I was. I was triggered by your album a little bit.
Why tell me why He's life skinned myself at the
other age with me?
Speaker 4 (07:49):
Are you about to cry?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Almost? You have a song on there called rolls mmm,
and I'm not talking flowers.
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
We had a conversation the breakfast club one day about
how women use the rolls and how men you got.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
To dig deeper. Don't tell the story. If you're not
gonna tell it.
Speaker 7 (08:07):
You could go there. It's all right, he has some issues.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You're going to tell this story. You tell it.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
He has some issues a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know, some men look at the rolls and not
flowers as cheating, and you want women to charge the rose.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But how about men?
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Now that's not fair because if you think a rose
is cheating, then you could say porn is cheating.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Some people do consider porn cheating. I don't like there
are some people who'll be like, we have to watch
it together. We don't need it any now, that's O
d in it.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
People can have fantasies.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Okay, so this song and she really idolizes the rose
and I don't. I don't like your eyes.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
You buried the lead though, tell tell about the book?
Can tell book.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Wrote away her troubles?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's right away.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I have to hear this.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
Oh yeah, okay, Wait.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Me and my wife have been together since sixteen.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Love it.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
When we first having sexual relations.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Don't look at me like that.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Because I'm just waiting. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
I don't know what I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Going hard for me to make her orgasm? Hold my hand? Please?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Why are you talking about this?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It was in the book we find out but for
five years? No, ten, don't you dick?
Speaker 6 (09:18):
You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It was not ten years you said in the don't
you laugh the book? Don't you laugh?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
I'm not laughing for a while.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
It took me ten years a decade.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I could not make her reach orgasm.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
You can't get that.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
That's why you already.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I couldn't get there. That was the problem. That was
the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I couldn't get there because you know what, I
used to watch porn and I used to think bang
bang bang bang bang was the way, and I realized
it wasn't. And now the rose triggers me.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
That's why you hate toys.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Yeah, you just need to build yourself up so that
you're not triggered by materialistic things. Right. You have to
better yourself, right, and that will solve the problem. It
should be an addition to you all's love.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
So I agree, that's sound device.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Wow, thank you, you're welcome.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And why are you laughing back there? I see you
laughing back.
Speaker 7 (10:15):
Then she's cracking up, honey.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
She is having a time over here, especially when he
said ten, when he doubled down.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
So she told you that she was honest about it.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
I should be honest.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
I'm brilliant.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Okay, So let me tell you what happened.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
We've been married twenty three years together three years, I know,
but I want to tell her every.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
Break.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
But it happened during the argument. She was like exactly,
and then it was it was bad, but we worked.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
We worked. He tried to flush the rolls down and
totally that's how.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I actually ran over it.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I put on the car ran over it. But yeah,
but we're good now.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
But we're right about it in the book. So couples
can learn from my from my mistake. Okay, any more questions.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
I'm happy that it was ended in a positive way.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
So this album and even just hear you talking right now,
I feel like this is a lot. You're a lot
more like open about just you relationships wise, like sexuality.
I saw the video you posted when people were reacting
to the lyrics, and you was like, yeah, like it's life,
it happens, Like how has that been coming around? Even
been in a public eye? Like the dating stuff. I
(11:32):
know there was a photo with you and gonna, how
is all of this new world for you? Because you're
a lot more like you're you're here, You're sure, you're well.
It wasn't it's not that new, like it wasn't yesterday.
But there was an additional one outside of y'all.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Y'all were in La. So y'all were in La.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
Remember you guys were in the store shopping and you
were like, no, no, no, he came here. You're like, no, no, no,
we're just friends. And then you perform with Offset, and
then there was a photo y'all at the party afterward.
Y'all are just stitting next to each other in the photo,
which sparks some more rumors.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
So her homework on you you No, I got to
get my pin in my hand.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I well you that girl, Thank you. I appreciate that.
We ain't gonna get around a question though, Oh no,
I'm listening, okay. So I want to know two things.
First of all, I want to know right because you
are who you are. He is who he is talking
about Gunner, And it's tough sometimes and people critique you
a lot about be your woman, and you date and
you have sex and you do these different things. So
(12:29):
is that tough trying to date at all? Removing Gunning
from the situation.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, Well, One, I'm really proud of everything that he's doing. Two, Honestly,
it is tough to date because even if I just
want to go out to grab a bike, say, talk
about music, if it's any one of the opposite sex,
it's like, oh, that's what she's dating, and I want
people to focus on me and my career. I don't
want to be connected to every man that I'm standing
(12:54):
next to. So because of that, I mean, I am
naturally a hermit, but because of that, I'm just like
extra cautious. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
And it's unfortunate though, because you are in the phase
where I'm sure you're dating, when to meet new people,
and it's a fun thing to be able to do.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Yeah, you can't do it publicly.
Speaker 6 (13:08):
But since those photos were public at one time, and
I know you guys have denied it and then the
offset thing happened, what is the what's the synergy there?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Like?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Is there nothing there for real?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Or you the status?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah? Like I just want to know.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
I feel like every time we get told there's nothing,
then it's like, y'all find each other somewhere.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Well, I mean we're both in the industry. He's doing
his thing, I'm doing my thing. He's doing really great,
by the way, So it's just all love.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Yeah, Okay, are you writing nowadays more from a reflective
standpoint or as a storyteller, because you know, I hear
records like might as well where you say things. I'm like,
I might fly a nigga to the south side, let
him hit it first night, then fall back.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
Jesus, you know that's the new Chloe. I'm talking about Micirl.
You're here now.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
So it's like my external doesn't say these things, right,
but my internal feel that. So when I write, it's like,
coming from a standpoint, this is what i'd say to
you if you you know, if I had.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
The golf, I like that for you, though you fly
man out for real? No? Oh okay, if you like
who wouldn't do it?
Speaker 3 (14:20):
She ain't gonna be dealing with no Brokies.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Say that to them sometimes, but I don't.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I don't think I would do that. I mean, maybe
i'd go there instead so that I'm flying myself. You
feel me.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Dating somebody that might not have it like you did,
You wouldn't say, you know what, Boobo, I'm gonna fly
you to me into La I'm gonna fly you to
me to Saint Lucia, or I'm gonna fly you to wherever.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I would want them to at least be able to
get a flight to see me.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
There ain't nothing wrong with that, Yeah, you.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Know, because I don't want to be like I don't
want to play like the masculine role and like make
him feel less than. So I'd rather not even visit
that he.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Forget that you're twenty six years old. I think a
lot of people still look at you as the young
teenager singing. Do you have a hard time with that?
Speaker 4 (15:08):
No, it kind of makes me laugh, especially when I
have no makeup on when I do look fifteen, and
I do have like a young spirit, So I mean,
it's okay. It's sometimes I'm like, gosh, I'm twenty six,
four years from thirty, let's let it go.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
But what does your dad and auntie say about those lyrics?
Because you're such a family person. Yeah, and usually your
dad's here, so what do you what do they say
when they hear those lyrics?
Speaker 4 (15:32):
So, my Godmom, she's the first person I'll send the
songs to and she knows me like at the back
of my hand, so she will laugh a lot to
the lyrics, and then she'll also push me. And what
I really love too about how want Me came about
with Sis and I. When I played it for her,
she was like, this feels like a Colo and Haley record.
And I kept looping that in my head and I
was like you know what. So then I wrote Sister's
(15:55):
Verse and I was like, do you want to hop
on this with me? And it was nice that we
got to have a collaboration together after two years. So
it's like little things like that that I won't always
be previy or open to that she'll like call out.
So it's always nice to have someone that you'll trust.
Now for a song is she'll tell me there's too much?
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Yeah, are there ever any songs like because you have
temporarily single, all I got were like you're you know,
you're opening up about stuff where you're like, don't listen
to this one, y'all, like skip over that one?
Speaker 7 (16:22):
Like do you ever have this out on that?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
I always get nervous anytime I play my music anytime,
really yes, because I'm burying my soul in the song
and it's like, okay, yeah, this is me. I don't
really show this. This is me. So it's like, I hope,
you know, people will like it, even the ones closest
to me, Like I'll get nervous. I'll have my head
down listening and looking up like this.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
I love the relationship you have with your god brother
tu though, because you know that you hear people say, oh,
I'm the god mom, I'm the god dad, but you
don't see the godparents really act like it. Yeah, you
really hold you down like that? Has that always been
the case?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
It has like she's the first person to show me
what unconditional love truly looks?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Like, Wow, wow, anybody your parents? I am me too,
but I don't act like you got. I don't know
what it entails like, That's what I'm saying. When I
see him together.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I'm just like, if something happens to you know, they
will take over. Like I'm Halo's aunt, but I'm also
his god mom.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Wow, God's fit in for y'allough, because I don't know
who else is, Like you guys are the closest I've
never It's just it's y'all.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I know she I would have been like, excuse me,
why am I not the god?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
But it makes sense when you got a relationship when
somebody just labels you that and then you don't really
have a relationship with the child child, right, and then
something happened You're like, I don't know this person.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
I think I have.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I think we all god parents on birthdays and holidays, Right,
You're not you don't say gifts at all.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I don't even know what it means.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
That's why I said, when I see them, it's like,
oh okay, that's how it was supposed to be.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
It's supposed to be like your backup angel. It's like,
you know, like you might need to call them for something.
You might need to God, Dad, I need some money.
You might need to advice.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It depends on the relationship.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I like how you said, like the little backup guardian, Like.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
That's I think my guy mom, who's also my aunt
as well too. It's my grandma's sister. But I feel
like we are like kindred spirits and it just God
made it.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
That way, you know.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
But I have a question for you about you mentioned
like when you play your music for people, when people
hear your music, you always get nervous.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
How do you deal with critiques?
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Because I know John B came out and that was
like a whole thing when he said that you're gonna
song that you remade of his?
Speaker 7 (18:25):
What song was it?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
The they don't know was ratchet and people were upset
at him for saying that, Like, how did you feel
about that?
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Well? John B is an incredible artist. If that song
didn't exist. We couldn't sample it. So I love what
Gunna and I did to it. And you know, I'm
sad he feels that way, but hey, everyone has opinions.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You also say he didn't it didn't get clear, and
I was like it had to get clear.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Yeah that I do.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
You know who John B was before that?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Of course, of course.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Asking no, don't get on.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
They talk to me like.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
I'm younger, I'm just like you.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
It's like, no, I might not know everything, but no,
it's really important to like listen to her and trust
like the youth and like she's so smart. What's your birthday?
Speaker 7 (19:16):
November twenty second?
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Are you sad? I'm sad, said okay, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
It don't have nothing to do with youth, chlaud it
has a fact she sometimes I'm not sure her people
just don't be knowing stuff, that's all.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Yes, but if she doesn't know something, we can't say
it's because of her youth.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Yes, you just don't know that you are an informer. Yeah,
I get it. Yeah, it's just little things though.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Like what like what you wanted to add?
Speaker 3 (19:42):
You wanted somebody you know, we call the TIA a queen.
She didn't know it was Queen Latifa.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
No, that's not true.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
He asked me, did I know Queen Latifa's real name?
That's what he asked me.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
That's not true.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
It started from, Yeah, I didn't know's real name because
I'm like, it's LLOKUJ, Like, what do you mean?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
That's that's on the things I think people should know.
But that goes back to when we were younger.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
We had to read the album credit correct, like we
would watch the movies, watch the TV shows and look
at the end credits to see what people were doing.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
That I do miss. I feel like that art is gone,
Like that's something that I would have appreciated.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
You know, do you really feel like? Nice girls finished last?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
So I do feel that way, and in your case,
your wife did mhm. Oh that's good.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
That's what the song's about. That's what the song is about.
The song is about face value. That was such a bout.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Don't let it fool you, don't let it don't That's
what the song is about. Finished last.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
A man.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
We cater to the man and the nice Girl finished
his last and then we referenced Janet Jackson at the
end on the last line of the song. That's what
the song is about. It was not.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Basically what you're saying that women should speak up for
themselves more and if they're not getting.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
What they want, it's like a it's like a window.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
And you also are you also speaking like romantically, like
sexually as well. That's that's and yeah, because you want
to it's all about like pleasing your partner.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Sorry, it was not a stab.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
It on YouTube the way she looked at it and said,
and that's what your wife found.
Speaker 7 (21:37):
Somebody told me that he needs to use.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Rolls over here.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but that's what the song is about.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
That's what it's about, Okay.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Like taking the back seat and like not in your partner,
you know.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
As a as a as a woman, like because one
of the things that I feel like i'm learning right now.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Is she's single, by the way I am.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
And I'm enjoying.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Because I'm having to throw stuff, but I've been enjoying it.
And I will say though, like one of the things
I had to learn is like how to take a
back seat because I wasn't just naturally, like that wasn't
in my household. But then he made me forget everything
I was about to say. As as a as a
woman who you know, your very career oriented, you have
(22:30):
a lot going for yourself all that stuff. How do
you deal with knowing when to take the back seat
and knowing when to be like, no, I'm not doing
that because you don't want to intimidate the guy.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
That's a really great question. So for me, I like
to be babied a bit, like because I am in
a field where I do have to lead and speak
up for myself and you know, command the room and everything.
It's nice to be able to come to a space
that you're comfortable where you can let that down. I
(23:00):
feel like every woman wants to protect her they just
have to find the man who can protect right. And
I feel like that's when we don't feel that way,
that's when we feel like we have to stick our
chest out because it's like fight or flight. But when
we feel like someone is capable enough to carry us,
to shield us, you know, when the storm gets crazy,
(23:20):
that's when we kind of take that backseat role. So
it's really about who you find comfortable being that vulnerable with.
I feel I agree.
Speaker 7 (23:28):
With that you so calm, really Yeah, You're.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Right, you shit not the way that envy before.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
I can't tell now being that you are who you are, Cloud,
do you really feel like fuck your status when it
comes to guys because you got a song that I'm
called f.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Y you really feel that way? You really feel like
all I need is love.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
I don't need nothing else, money, your.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Position, job.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Honestly, yes, I still want someone with drive and someone
who has ambition so that we can build each other up.
But I think being in a world where it's so
superficial and everything is based on what you have, what
are you doing next? This sometimes it gets a little
(24:18):
suffocating and redundant. So it's nice to just have someone
who loves you just for you, so you.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Would date like somebody that wasn't in the industry, like
you got to drive ups or something.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
No, but someone not in the industry.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
But I think a lot of times too, when when
people ask that question, I mean it's like I get it,
But like when people ask that question too, Like one
of the conversations people don't have is sometimes like when
finances aren't right, or like even just status right, Like
we could both be making the same money, but I'm
more outward than you are. I've never come across the
man that has been secure enough in himself to be
okay with that, And it causes problems even if you
(24:54):
don't bring them in. And that's why women we kind
of do that to protect ourselves sometimes. So I think
it gets unfairly thrown on women. You're very successful. It
gets unfairly thrown on you when you say, oh, I
have a preference. But the preference sometimes a protect yourself.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
What would be wrong with a ups driver? That's what
somebody would say.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Everybody has a preference. Nothing's wrong with the ups driver,
nothing's wrong with them at all. Would I date someone maybe?
Maybe not, just like everyone has a preference. They like
a woman with the big booty, they like a woman
with tiny titties. Everybody has a preference.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
You would date somebody short, though.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I would date someone who I'm the same height with
with heels on.
Speaker 6 (25:35):
Yeah, I've not known somebody who's kind of your height,
who we've seen them in photos together already.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Do you keep going back to.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Ask I'm asking you, would you like if today he's like,
we need to do this, would you lock in?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Like?
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Is the is the relationship there? Where you guys are
friends enough. I understand you're just friends now, but you
guys are friends enough where you would be like, you
know what, I would explore this.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
I think we're both living like our own lives.
Speaker 7 (26:05):
You're so good at this, good at what the answers,
your answers.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
I'm just being honest. Okay, go ahead, Yeah, just we're
just living our own lives.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
You know.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Did you like his physical transformation?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Yeah, I'm really proud of him. It's always great when
someone transforms their life like that.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
You know, he did the right way, no surgery, no bbls.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
He looks great.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Yeah, were you asking her or telling her?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Confused?
Speaker 7 (26:29):
Were you confused when.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I told you what is your problem? Yeh, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
But I was going to say you open the album.
I think it's all I got, But correct me if
I'm wrong. And you talk about like there's like a
guy who he's like not the fall guy, but he's
always there for you, and he's always there for you
in all the right ways.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
But that's not the guy you like or want to
be with. But then there's this other.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Guy like you have the this is the ideal guy,
but he doesn't know how to be for be there
for you in the same way.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
What's your experience been like with that? Like and how
to ask.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Which one is gonna That's what she wants to ask.
Speaker 7 (27:05):
What inspired that song?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
So?
Speaker 4 (27:07):
What inspired the song? You guys love talking about him?
But inspired the crazy I hadn't read that, right.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
I literally didn't even say it this time.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
I just was interested in that.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Yeah, you know, I think every girl has that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
What inspired the song though, for me is that you
want to feel safe and secure, but then at the
same time you also want someone to push you out
of your comfort zone. So it's the catch twenty two
because we all just ough it's life, life be life.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
So you like the bad guy, you like the guy
that's gonna keep you secure and the safe back the ladder.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
The ladder men listen to your albums and like, like
like use it as a blueprint, Like should they use it,
like how people use Steve Harvey.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Books or just the stuff you're writing? Do you really
mean a lot they.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Can if they would like to. Okay, Okay, yeah, you know,
I mean there might be some girls who have experienced
things I've experienced. There might be not. But it was
really fun, you know, just coming from such a stance
of power as being a woman and being in the islands,
you know, just looking out at the water as I'm
creating this music. It was just something about it. It
(28:11):
was just like so you I did, Wow, I did.
We had a villa flew out producer, engineer and it
was just so nice. And every night we'd go out
experience the music. I'd go swimming, come back in record.
It was just the most freeing experience I did. Yes,
(28:32):
so for Springs, So Springs, I was amazing. I love it.
It's so so cleansing.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
What's fun relaxed you like, like no work, Like on
a day where you're not working in Saint Lucia, You're
not Chloe. You just somebody that's there and like experience
and have a good time.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Like what are you?
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Like?
Speaker 7 (28:48):
Are you the staying on the couch friend? You're the
spy friend? Like which one are you?
Speaker 4 (28:52):
I'm the friend who has my bathing suit on and
my big baggy sweatpants and I go straight to the
beach and I lounge out there all day and I'll
eat good food or be on a boat and jump off.
Adventurous friend, Yes you adventurous friend.
Speaker 5 (29:07):
I also read one time that you said when you
enjoy acting because it helps train your brain, not the
aim for perfection. So have you been describing for perfection
and everything else that your career path, your personal life.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
When it comes to performing and music, you kind of
have to You're only as good as your last performance,
and you know you rehearse for hours to make sure
the choreography is perfect. You make sure you can sing
the song perfectly so that it's like so you know,
for me, I just love acting as well because it's
(29:38):
like it taps into a piece of me where I
can be really raw and vulnerable and open, and when
you are channeling an actual human being, there's beauty in
the flaws.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
And how channeling.
Speaker 5 (29:48):
How hard is it to try to chase perfection though, Like,
because I feel like you'll beat yourself up if you
don't feel like you're doing things perfectly.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
You'll constantly it'll be like a endless cycle, like a
hamster and a wheel. And for me, there's so many
times I've done that, but it's like it'll be a
losing battle. So it's a catch twenty two as well a.
Speaker 5 (30:10):
Lot because a lot of times that can lead to
like depression that can lead to like anxiety because you
think you're not doing things, you're not doing enough.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Yeah, of course, what was an experience that made you
like realize okay, Like I got to learn to step
off the wheel? Like do you remember a moment where
you're like, ooh, I'm hit in rock bottle right now?
I got to step off the wheel.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I think it was last year, and it was like
you know when you kind of go numb a bit
and you kind of nothing really phases you. Yeah, that's
when you're like, okay, I've lost feeling. How do I
get that back? You don't want to ever give up
(30:51):
to a point where you stop caring. So I'm happy
that my love and care has come back. But what
I really appreciate is how you constantly do talk about
mental health because it is important, and I feel like,
especially in the black community, it's overlooked or like it's
frowned upon sometimes, but more recently it hasn't been. But
I think therapy is important. I think, you know, talking
(31:13):
to the people, your loved ones so that you're not
suffering or going through anything alone. I think all of
that's important.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Did it help you get out that space? Like therapy and.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, for sure over here.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
God yeah, you said a line one time, you said,
people who you think will be there for the rest
of your life, people who you think have your back
through and through, they have the knife Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Yep, that's life. And I think what has been healthy
for me is knowing that everybody goes through kind of
the similar thing. It kind of takes me out of
the moment of being like woe is me? Like of
course I still do. You know, I'll be like damn,
and I'll allow myself to feel but it's like, Okay,
(31:56):
someone is going through something similar. You're not alone, and
it's like, Okay, this is just life. And that's how
I'll generalize it.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
To keep pushing boundaries.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
That's that's my big learning lesson Right now. I'm getting there.
I'm getting there.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
Where were you if you don't mind me asking what
was going on in your life at the time where
you had to step off the wheel and you got numb?
Because I remember what I was going through specifically.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
It was a factor of things. It was a factor
of things. It's like I think there's always that little
cherry on top. Yeah, and it's like, whoa. But what
is important is that you always continue to get back
up and having people who can help you get back up.
So I'm standing now.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
There you go. How was it when you and Highy
got back in the studio.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
It was amazing. We were in New York. Actually, we
had like a press event here and I was like, Sis, okay,
here's the verse. You like it. She's like I love it.
I was like come, She's like, okay, I'm bringing Halo
to the studio. He was there at the engineering board
with me, and she just sounded so beautiful and she
just pushed the record to be even more special.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
It's hard to get her to do anything other than
it be nowadays.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
No, she is multifaceted, like she's doing so much. She's
been filming, taking care of Halo. Even when I was
filming in New Orleans, she came to visit me for
a weekend because I was like feeling lonely. So I
was happy.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
I know you guys do your It is tea time. Yes,
y'all started it back up and I saw Halo was
in one of them. What it is like because you've
always been close, but now she's a mom, so she's
experiencing different things. Is the relationship different now or is
it the same. But you just have to know she's
also a mom too, like what was the what was that?
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Like?
Speaker 4 (33:31):
In a really weird way, it's gotten stronger. Okay, I
can't explain it. It's just like I think because we
both have a deeper appreciation for life now, seeing something
so pure and innocent like that, it has made our
bond stronger.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Y'all women now, it's it's like a different level of womanhood.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
And that's what I feel through this, this this project.
That's why I'm like you hear like, I'm happy for you.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Thank you, thank you so much, happy that you enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Let's let's can we play a joint other than rolls
off the album?
Speaker 3 (34:02):

Speaker 4 (34:03):

her favorite.
