Like we could be together forever and we know what we got going on. We could get married and divorced in a year. Y'all still gonna criticize us. Let me ask you a question. Could you be a housewife? All this, no more music, no more podcasting. You're a housewife.

Yeah. How much older? What's the five years, 10 years? I mean, I don't know how old you are, but I'm saying what? Like 20, 30 years. What do we see? If I'm 30, 20.

20 years, so that's 50. So 50 is cool for you. Half my age plus seven. Half my age, I'm about to be 57, so that'll be 28 and a half plus seven. You're about to be 57? I'm about to be 57. Okay.

57 minus seven. That's 50. No, that's me! That's doing her age! No, you said 57, you said- No, I'm saying what you're supposed to do for a man. Okay. That's doing her age. No, you said 57. You said. No, I'm saying what you're supposed to do for a man. Okay. You do half his age.

Okay. Plus seven. So half my age is 28 and a half. I add seven. That's seven. That's 35 and a half. So 35 and a half minus two. 35 minus two?

Yeah. 30. 33. You 30? 31. 31? I just turned 31. You just turned 31? Yeah, I'm still celebrating my birthday.

I hope y'all got me a cake. You know, I'm gonna be honest with you, Creech, I'm trying to work the math in my head. Give me a second, I'm working the math in my head. I'm gonna go with mine, I don't know. How we getting that 31, Jill? How we getting that 31? Maybe we add an extra year.

Half my age plus eight minus four. Right on time, that 31 right there. Okay, let's talk about it. Are you willing to settle down? I feel like going into my 30s, yes, because I got two kids. I'm 31, life getting a little serious. It's time to slow down, it's time to be a family.

You know, like, my son father is deceased, like he died. And it's like, I'm raising a son of my own. I want him to have a father figure. I want him to have some type of male figure in his life. So it's like, I can't just be a fun girl running around as a city girl. Life gotta get serious. And I think going into my 30s, I'm at that point.

Would you end a relationship for cheating? Or you give them a second chance? I'll give them a second chance. Everybody cheat. Women cheat too. Damn, that was quick! We be cheatin', we just don't get caught. Cause y'all, y'all, y'all.

Cause women are like cat, they got padded feet, can't hear them, they tiptoin, it's silence. And see, the thing is, a lot of times, guys are not as messy as women. See, guys will keep down on the hush hush. Women, y'all gonna be telling. No, it's the other way around. Guys be telling that bitch. Now, women don't say shit.

Maybe tell our friends, but it's never going to happen. Yes, it's going to get out. Because friends, y'all going to have a falling out. Because you know it's just a matter of time before y'all fall out. And they going to tell all your business. And then what? Yes, it's gonna get out. Cause friend, y'all gonna have a falling out cause you know it's just a matter of time before y'all fall out and they gonna tell all your business. And then what? No, I'm not like, I feel like I ain't gonna lie.

Just hear me out. I hate to say this, but I feel like men cheat. Like all men cheat, but you have to get to that point where you grown enough to just feel like, okay, I'm not in that era no more. So I'm not leaving my man for cheating once. Man, I'm probably gonna get like four times. Four?

Damn. I'm not gonna lie. I'm out of your number. I'm out of your number. I'm out of your number. I'm out of your number. I'm out of your number. Four times, Jordan.

I'm not gonna lie, I got a little patience. I got a little patience. I like that. But when I get, I told you, when I get the fuck home. When you get there, that. When I get the fuck home, you gonna miss me. Yeah. So, let me ask you a question.

That Neo situation, you see Neo, I think Neo got like three girls. Man, Neo serving. No, I'm just playing. I just think for each his own, I feel like he living in his truth. That's all that matters, because he could be like manipulating women,

he could be lying, he could be deceiving women. I feel like you have to live in your truth. If that's what work for him, and the women that's involved, they happy, that could be deceiving women. I feel like you have to live in your truth. If that's what worked for him and the women that's involved, they happy, that's what they want to do. I feel like what works for you may not work for the next person. Everybody don't like apples, everybody don't like oranges. That's what he likes and that's his truth.

He have to live in his truth. And he got women that's... Could you be, you okay being on the roster? What you gotta be? You gotta be one? be, you okay being on the roster? What you gotta be? Can you, you gotta be one? Can you be like three on the roster? Or what you gotta be on the total poll? Let me tell you something.

You see this face? You see, baby, I just can't do a roster. I'm not gonna lie. I probably can start, like, I probably can start with like a team. Yeah. But by the time halftime come, by the time halftime come, you know halftime,

you got to go in the locker room with the coach. We got to talk about, Hey, do we fit to win this game, babe? Or we fit to hang these clips up? Right. Well, let me ask you a question. When you heard that you were dating Stefan Diggs. How did I? See, oh, how did I come out? That's what I'm saying?

I don't wait wait what what was the question? They say they say you were dating Stefan Diggs where that came from internet You can't believe everything you said in there. You just said that Thank you So let me ask you a question What's the youngest you're 31? What's the youngest you date? I'll argue. Thank you. So let me ask you a question. What's the youngest, you're 31. What's the youngest you date? 25.

25, okay. What have you learned about relationships? Being who you are, being a public figure, you mentioned you have kids, but what have you learned about relationships? Me and I, we're in my life. You just accept it. you have kids, but what have you learned about relationships? Men lie, women lie. You just accept it. So what do you believe, so if you believe men lie, women lie,

so what do you believe to be true? Nothing. I don't know. I just think that, like, I think that you really have to date. You really have to find your person. I think you know your person just think that like, I think that you really have to date, you really have to find your person. I think you know your person when you get with the person. Like, it's really about the feeling, the connection,

with the bond that you share with the person. Like, y'all have to be on the same page, that's the only way it's gonna work. Anything else is just, women lie, women lie. That's some real shit I learned that like, everybody be lying. And you don't even get mad about it, huh? I'm just the type of person, it's like, man.

It is what it is. Yeah. Everybody be lying. And you don't even get mad about it, huh? I'm just the type of person, it's like, man. It is what it is. Yeah. Born in Miami, raised in Miami. How did being raised in Miami, how did that shape the person that we see sitting here today? Ooh, it's a fast life. Everything is fast and I think that like,

we go through so much at a young age that it made me the woman that I am. I think that like, going to school, I dealt with the, you know, like, worries may hurt you. Just everything that come at you in life. Like, my mama went to prison when I was younger. I had to raise my brother and sister.

So I've been through the hardship that built me into like, nobody can tear me down. I done been through this shit in high school, just being raised in Miami, like, coming from like my Brownlee, they sold drugs. You know, like I done been through everything in life. So it's like, it just molded me into who I am. Like nothing can really break me.

I done been through this. Like I felt like I was raised off a hardship. You mentioned your mom went to prison and you had to raise your siblings. Do you feel you was robbed of your childhood? That you didn't get an opportunity to be a teenager, a young woman? I appreciate it.

I think that if I never went through that, I probably would have like not be able to handle what was dealt with me right now. You know how like some people, you think about people that commit suicide, like what made them commit suicide? They wasn't strong enough. They didn't have the mentality.

They wasn't built for it. They didn't know how to get to the next level. I think that going through all that hardship at a young age, life is life, no matter how you shape it. You know what I'm saying? You can't predict life. You can't say, I could have had the best childhood. God put me in that position and have me able to navigate where I'm at right now.

And I think that I needed that. Wow. What type of student were you? Were you a good girl in school? Were you popular? So how were you in school? I've always been popular. Always had... I had a car at, like, what, 15, 16? Always was in designer. Always been... I had a car at like what, 15, 16? Always was in designer, always been. No. Nails did, hair did.

You been there, huh? Mm-hmm. Always was a cheerleader, jump high, can split. Just- And cheerleaders, day athletes, mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, I like the basketball players, though. Yeah, the athletes. I had a basketball player.

I know you did, see? Everyone try to pretend like you, mm-hmm. Woo. But yeah, I always, like you know, I always been the it girl, always had this personality. Always was fun. I read you say you was hood famous. I was.

What's hood famous? Like, I don't even, like I was getting booked and I wasn't even nobody. Like I used to do like little club hostings back in Miami for 500 to $1,000. Damn, you been getting brand for a minute, huh? I used to do like little bookies, yeah. Like 500 was the least I took to 1,000.

So you been a hustler? Mm-hmm, I used to have like, I used to sell wigs. It was called the wig gala. Right. Like the Met Gala. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Let me ask you this. How did you become popular on the internet before you even started a rap career? Because my mom, she had a name for herself.

My mom always dated the drug dealers and all of that. So she was kind of trick and treating her. That was my godmom. She just was one of those. She wasn't a rapper, but she grew up with the celebrities of Miami. So then she had a daughter. You mentioned Trina is your godmother.

Is that why you got into rap? Mm-mm. What happened? Why'd you get into rap? I ain't gonna lie, JT called me one time, I was like, Karisha, let's rap. I'm like, what? Let's do what?

Who did? JT. Okay. She called me one time, I was like, that's just, she, like, like, I used to have beef, we used to have beef in, where we was from, and she wanted to make a diss track about these girls, but we ended up going to the studio and making a song called F***er. So she actually- How you gon', you gon' make a diss track about girls, then somehow you make one about FD dudes? I don't know, cause the beat was like, F*** daddy, we had Sam Kaya, it was F***er, we just started dissing. Is, it was we just thought of dissing Is it true to used to go to trick daddy pool parties Mm-hmm, you know

Not probably not like his adult pool parties, but I've been in his videos, but I never miss one of his pool parties mmm What about Rick Ross, you know Ross? Yeah, I know Ross. I like Ross Ross used to hang with my My brother daddy. Mm-hmm. But yeah, I like Ross. Ross used to hang with my brother daddy. But yeah, I know Ross. So who came up with the idea of the City Girls? So me and JT, we was two friends, childhood friends, we started rapping and then once we got signed to QC, Coach K named us the City Girls. And then because you had City Girls and then you had the Hot Boys and then? And now he was just like city girls like every every level from the city. That's true though. Right.

Every level from the city. Did you ever think that you would so when you were growing up you were in Miami and you were doing what you were doing Did you ever think did you envision this because what did you want to be as a child? A mortician? Lord, this is where I want to be a funeral. As a child. A mortician. Lord, this is where I want to be a funeral. I mean, you always go have work, but damn. I wanted to be a mortician.

I don't know why. I just wanted to know like what happened when you die, like life after death. I was just like- You still not going to know. I know, but I just felt like it would bring me closer. Like, I don't know, like, cutting up my body. You're not scared of dead people? They did. I mean, not like that, like you did. Yeah, but they't know, like, cutting up my body. You're not scared of dead people?

They did. I mean, not like you did. Yeah, but they can't hurt you, but they can make you hurt yourself. You know they have reflexes. Jump up. Yeah. I ain't gonna even down.

Oh, shh. That would be up out of that thing so quick. Growing up, what was your favorite group growing up? My favorite group growing up? My favorite group growing up? Were you, what's TLC, SWB, Escape? SWB, that's the I Hit song. It's We Can't My Knees, I Can't Hide These Sweet. Ay, I ain't lying, I've been singing that song.

Mm-hmm, see. You heard it now, you heard a group down when JT went to jail. Did you get a big check when she came home? I ain't going to lie. I was broke as hell. Damn! I was like, JT, listen. I ain't going to be able to keep splitting this show money for you because it's so much

that come out. You know, you got a lawyer. You got to pay the lawyer. You've got a business manager. You've got to pay management. And you've got to split it 50-50. So I was making it by, you've got a business manager, you gotta pay management. And you gotta split 50-50. So I was making it by, but it wasn't crazy money at the time. We'll get like a little show, it's only 30,000,

you gotta do management, you gotta do lawyer, you gotta do this and that. So, I mean, she was able to come home to some money, but it wasn't like, I ain't from the city. Like, yeah, I just gave her a big check, no. No, no big check. But it was Drake that really helped put the City Girls on because he featured you guys on one of

His songs. Mm-hmm. Was that the big break that you guys got? Mm-hmm in my feelings. Yeah. Yeah, shout out to Drake So obviously you say shout out to Drake Drake your boy. I thought was champagne poppy Yeah, always, you know, I felt like Drake was just so genuine like he just literally came I don't remember when they told us like Drake was shot on genuine. Like he just literally came. I remember when they told us like, Drake, what's y'all on this song? We was like, what? When the studio recorded the song, you know, he did the video, he brought me out of New Orleans.

We performed. I met him in Miami. He just always just like show love and it was genuine. With that being said, if Kendrick called you and said he want you to jump on the song, you cool or no? I don't think Kendrick would call me for a song, to just be honest. So. You don't think Kendrick would call me for a song,

to just be honest, so. You don't think he gonna get no feature with Kareisha? Nah, just stay with Drake. Drake put you down. Yeah. Yeah. Who's been your favorite artist? That mean Usher, Lil Durk, Juicy J, Moony, Doja,

Lato, Cardi B, Lil Baby, Jaquice. Jaquice. Who's been your favorite? I ain't gonna lie, I love me some Usher. Doja, Lado, Cardi B, Lil Baby, Jaquees, Jaquees. Who's been your favorite? I ain't gonna lie, I love me some Usher. You know what, I got this for you. You go to Usher's residency, you got a man. I will.

Okay, he do. I'm not doing the cherries. You're not doing the cherries? You ain't gonna be grinding, you ain't gonna be backing it up on it? I mean, I've been to Usher, I done performed with Usher, I performed with Usher in Vegas,

and I did back it up on Usher a couple of times. Were you at a man? Mm-hmm. What'd he say? Nothing. It's work. That ain't work. You did that in no damn work. It is work when That ain't work. That ain't no damn work.

It is work when you perform it though. I think you gotta have like a company man. You gotta have a man that's like a business man and just know they position. But I do like Usher. I love Sexy Red. I feel like Sexy Red just get the party going. I love Dolce. You look a mess though. Cardi is your girl too? Yeah. What's Cardi like behind the scene? She got a good personality. Like she cool.

Like Cardi, like she like a real bitch, you know? Is Meg still your favorite rap girlfriend? I love Meggie. I love Meggie. I love Meggie. We are crazy, so we just naturally connect. Let me ask you this. The female rappers, there are a lot of you guys today.

If you're not listening to your song, who you listening to? A lot of them. What do I get for my birthday? What do I get for my birthday? Well, you know what? And I've asked some of these women this. I've had glow on and glow. Why do women have so much beef in the rap game? I think it's an ego thing.

I think women have egos and I think it's just getting to like a, you know, like you, sometimes you just feel like if you show too much love you dick riding. It just becomes like an ego thing. Like me, I'm just like a natural support. Like if I work with you, I work with you. If I like music, I like music. And I'm not looking at it like, oh, I'm doing this, I'm doing that. Like if I work with you, I'll with you.

You got to call it the middle of the beef because JT was beefing and that's your partner. And you ain't got no issue with these other ones. So you were smack dab in the middle. How you navigate that? I just think that like, it just depends on how deep the beef is and what the beef is about.

You understand? Like, that's what it all boils down to. Like, if it's about some ****, that **** is about some good ****, but if it's like deeper than rap, then it's like, you know. Y'all need to figure this out, though. Don't you wish y'all could just like get in the room? I don't know if you got beef, and I'm saying y'all, and I've used that term loosely, but don't you wish that the women that have beef

could just like get in the room and figure this out? And once you realize that, it ain't really that serious. I honestly feel like we all got a story. We all come from somewhere. Like we all trying to make it out. We all trying to feed somebody. We all got like kids. At this point, we too grown to be beefing.

Cause at the end of the day, we ain't finna fight. We ain't finna see each other and really fight. So what the we doing? We just going back and forth on the internet. We allna fight. We ain't finna see each other and really fight. So what the we doing? We just going back and forth on the internet. We all got security. We ain't finna see each other. We ain't finna get dirty. So it's just like, you know, it's just entertainment.

And I just feel like we stronger together. So I wish everybody could come together. You called DJ academics and they say, bro, why are you speaking on with me? You got a problem with him? You don't like him? I mean, I don't have a problem with him. I just felt like as a blogger, I felt like everybody have a job to do.

You understand? Like I just was saying with the Shade Room, the Breakfast Club, like this is your job and it's all about how you speak on the topic. Like you can say whatever you want to say about me, but you ain't got to call me a bitch. You ain't got to call me a hoe. You could just say like- But you did all that? Yes.

Like you're done. You're a diss. It just be so personal. It's just like I never met you a day in my life. I don't know what call me a hoe. You could just say like- But you did all that? Yes, like you're done. You're a diss. It just be so personal. Right. It's just like I never met you a day in my life. Right.

I don't mind you doing your job as a blogger or whatever you are. Say you don't like my music. Yeah, you could- You start calling me out of my name. Right. You could criticize me. You could say whatever because everybody have a right to a thing. Right.

But when it get personal like, yeah I'm so glad you got shot at and da da da da. Like my car got shot up and he- Damn. Yeah da. My car got shot up. And he like- Damn. Yeah, my car got shot up when I was six months pregnant. And when he wrote the story, he was like, I thought you keep a baby clock with you. It's like, what's wrong with you? I could have lost my life and my child life.

Right. You understand? You can talk about the story, but why it's so personal. I never met you. I never saw you in person. Why is it so personal? And it's just like, even like as time went by, that was like the first time that I really like

noticed who he was, because it was like very hurtful. Like, I was just like, damn, I almost lost my life. And it was something that was just like in my face. And then it was just, as time and time went by, he was just so disrespectful. And I'm just like, well, God damn, like, everybody got an opinion. I can't put a gun to everybody here that got an opinion,

but it's just like, you just take it so far. Like, it's like, yes. Excuse me? What's the problem? I would love to sit down and talk about it, though. Would you have him on your podcast? I would, because I just want to know, like, what I ever done to you?

You can feel the way you feel, but why is it so like, why so personal? You can say right now like, Miami, you trash. I'm going to ask you like, what do you think? What makes you think that way? Yeah, what can I do? Like, I'm going to, we going to have that conversation, but it's not like, you so, it's like, oh my God.

You're a man, like. Quality control won't release your music. Is it true they won't release your music? Because why do you think that? I'm not assigned to quality control. You're not doing it anymore? No. I don't know.

I just think as an artist, I think that we get in our head. Because when you have so much success on that Freshman album, everybody be wanting that. They expect so much more. You get what I'm saying? Like it becomes so much pressure. Like you, people really script you away from your person. Like they all love you and big you up for who you are. Like I love Kareisha cause da da da da da da da. And then like I thought, why they take you down for it?

They don't like you for that reason no more. You need to evolve. You need to be something. Right. And then you are getting your head and you just start overthinking the process and you just like, maybe I'm not good enough and then it just become a whole thing. It's like, I'm not going to say you're getting insecure but you just like overthink the process

and it's just like, you want to please everybody but you can't please everybody and the same reason why they used to love you they don't love you no more. So it's just like, you know, you start trying to like create new things, they come up with new things and it's like This ain't really me, but I'm trying something different and it's just like what if I do this and they don't hit and it's just like You got to keep going back to the drawing board. Right

What have you learned about fame? You gotta just keep going no matter what They love you one minute. They hate you one minute, but you guys just keep going You gotta just you gotta just stay consistent. You gotta put in the time, you gotta put in the effort. You gotta just go no matter what. What's the best thing about fame? What's the worst thing about it?

The worst thing about it is no privacy. But the best thing about it is I'm not gonna lie, like when you go out there sometimes, like last night I went to an event, and I'm like, sometimes I feel like damn, everybody just hate me, like the whole world just like. You say that? I get in my moods why I feel like that,

like I just be feeling like damn, like how I overcome this shit, like how I get to this point, like I ain't do nothing to nobody and then it's just like when I get outside. Are you reading the internet or people, because it's hard for me to believe that people that interact with you, that see you, give you the impression that they hate you.

That's where I was going with it. So like on the internet, it's just, I just, I feel like, damn, I don't know. It ain't real, they fake. And then like last night, so many people stopped me. That it kind of like, I left in tears a little bit. I'm just like, oh my God, like I really got to get outside. I got to really get out there and do that.

They was like, keep going, we love you. We here to support you. Like, we love you. And even the haters on the internet, when they see you in person, they want to take a picture and get an autograph. Yes, but like the love outside last night just gave me that reinsurance that I need.

Cause I ain't gonna lie, the hate just be a little loud sometimes. Yeah, hate is always louder than their flaws. Yeah, it's fame what you thought it would be Absolutely. What did you think it was like camera action? You didn't realize that so much came with things it's very like you really ought to put up a persona like it's just Oh this industry maybe really ought to put up a persona. Like it's just, ooh, this industry, baby. Do you feel like society pushed women

to get cosmetic surgery, be it BBL, fillers, things of that nature? Why you feel that? Because it's just like, when you got a natural body, you look like a little boy. You don't got no sex appeal. You dissing you that. When you do get the BBL, it's like, oh my God,

your body fake. It's like, if you natural, they hate you. If you got a B appeal you did see you that when you do get the BBL. It's like, oh my god your body fake It's like if you naturally hate you if you got a BBL, they hate you. What do you want? Like people I'm gonna just use this like Lizzo for is it yeah, everybody was oh my gosh, she's so bad She looks so good now, but now it's like oh my god you She'd have had surgery. She done got like yeah,, oh my gosh, she need to stop, like, pick a side. What do you want? Who that told me?

Oh, Cash had Cash Dog. Cash Dog told me men getting plastic surgery now. They are, and I hate that. What they getting? They getting the little ass. The ass, it's the ass? Yes. So they getting the- Yes, and you can see it, because you know, I'm going to tell you a secret, when you get a lipop getting? They getting the little ass. The ass, it's ass? Yes. So they getting the...

Yes, and you can see it, cause you know, like, I'm gonna tell you a secret. When you get a light bulb, you got like two little dots. Dots. Like, as a man, don't do that. I just already, you have like the little... So you be looking too, you be looking at you. I be looking.

I be like... Damn. I can spot a I be like. Damn. I could spot a fake ad for a mile away. I'm on your ass. I don't like that. But I'm not the one to judge though. You don't? Mm-mm.

Can I ask you this? Because a lot of you mentioned on the internet, why do you feel like a portion of our community lives and looks to terror people like yourself, mine and others in the community that have had a level of success, why do they feel they need to tear us down? I don't know, but it's because it's like,

we are taught that bad people are not supposed to be successful, that when we see white people, we just think that everything they do is normal. Right. Like they could just do anything. It's like, yeah, they were spray-side. They was born money.

It's natural to them. Like a white person could do coke, and it's like, they rich, they do coke. A black person do coke, and it's just like, oh, you're a cokehead. You know, it's just like, it's a stereotype of like, white people is just like born money.

This is what they do. Like they rich. They supposed to get money, but we're not supposed to. Yeah, and it's like when a black person, we just go toe down for every little thing. It's like, we not supposed to have it. We not supposed to celebrate. You sold your soul. We sold our soul.

We can't do it, we can't have fun. I could be right now just having a good time. Oh, she's twerking. A white person could be f***ing it up. Oh, she's having a ball. Why I ain't having a ball? Why I gotta's twerking. A white person can be f***ing it up. Oh she's having a ball. Why I ain't having a ball? Like why I gotta be twerking? You know what I'm saying?

Like I think that like, you know, it's just the way that it is. They celebrate you and then they like, she doing too much. Yeah. Yeah. A white person can dead ass do drugs. It's absolutely normal.

Black person do drugs. They get tore down for it. They need, it's just like, oh people do drugs, they get tore down for it. It's just like, oh my God, what's the difference? How do we work together? And that's one of the biggest things. Like, man, it seems like they work together, and they don't care if one has more than the other. As long as you get yours, I'm getting mine, we happy.

They protect each other. But it seems like- They could go shoot up a school, they go take on the McDonald's, baby. We shoot up a school, we dead upon arrival. You know, like, I don't know, I don't know if that's how they taught, but they just stick together.

Why can't we stick together? I don't know, I don't know what, but I don't know, like, I don't know what it is with black people, it's just like, we can't stand to see each other just thriving, like, I don't know if it's like a, I'm supposed to have it too. I want you to get high, but I don't want you to get too high.

Yeah, I don't want you to. And I don't want you to get high to me now. Right, right. And it's like, look, I worked my tail off to be successful. You're mad about results you didn't get for the work you didn't put in. Right. I worked my tail off.

I worked nonstop. You say I worked too much and I see why you're single. But when you see me benefit some of the things, now I had to sell my soul. But what happened to the work that I was doing, that you saw that I was doing? Amen. Canna pass the fridge.

You get that? Yes. So let me ask you a question. When you were in this, your accent, I mean you very Miami-ish. Did they try to change that? Did they try to get you to talk? I'm not gonna lie, no.

Really? They let you be you? I'm not gonna lie. I can honestly say Coach K, that's one thing. He, like, I'm this type of person, I'm always trying to like, better myself. I ain't gonna lie, if I face any type of criticism, I take, like if a person's saying,

shoot, I'm taking the other stuff, I'm like, okay, let me go get a speaking coach. I'm always trying to better myself. I'm never going to disregard what people telling me. I feel like that's the only way you can grow. So when I always, I want to just like, they like, nah, Miami, you got to be you. You would never got here if it was for you.

We came to you for this reason. Don't change yourself. And I'll be like, really, for real? Because it just seemed like, it's just like, nah. So it was just like, mm-mm. I think that's the best thing. I went through that same thing when I got on television. I felt I needed to talk a certain way.

I need to articulate and annunciate and have the alliteration of everything. And you asked me what I was doing before when I was warming my voice up to get ready to do this interview. But it was once I saw like I embraced who I was, I'm from the South, I'm from rural South Georgia, I have a heavy, cloacal dialect. It's who I am.

I think that was like one of my hardest challenges for the podcast, me like being an interviewer. This is like, I'm so hard on myself with my accent and I'm like such a shy speaker, like if the cameras wasn't here, we could have a whole conversation and I'm just like artic myself with my accent, and I'm such a shy speaker. If the cameras wasn't here, we could have a whole conversation, and I'm just articulating myself so well. But once the cameras get rolling,

I get stumbling over my words, trying to figure out, am I saying it right way? Am I using the right sentences? And I think that was one of the hardest hardships that I had as an interviewer. Trying to just be so political and say the right words. You're trying to be somebody you're not and you can't. Because at the end of the day, you can be you better than anybody else can be you.

When you try to be somebody else, you can do it for a couple of minutes. But after a while, you're going to revert back because that's who you are. That's what you know. Right. Like season one, I had so much fun. I was just out there getting into the smoke. Season two, I tried to like switch it up and then try to just be so like professional that I was just like, you know what? I gotta go back to being me.

So what do you think when Coco Golf shouted you out when she said, period? I feel like, I know that's right. Like, flew it out sounds so much better than flown out. Like I got flew it out, flew it out sounds so much better than flown out. Yeah. Like I got flew it out, you know? Like, and I just be missing those days

when I was just like able to just be myself, have fun, be free, you know? Yeah, you ever been flown out? You ever been flew out? Always. Damn. Surely did. You catch that plane, huh?

Thank you. Same day? What had? Not the same day. You can't call me the same day unless we've been like, we locked in, we've been together for a while, but like if we just met, I need time to get myself together. And I got to really think like, do I want to go and see this person over here? Yeah. Sorry. You know, what's got the kids?

Okay, you got the kids situated. I'll see y'all. I'll be thinking about it. I know. I know. Business, music, podcasting. So what is the number one thing that you learned about business?

You got to make sure your business is great. You got to have it all. You got to read over contracts. You got to make sure that you own everything. You got to have a lawyer. You got to read over contracts. You got to make sure that you own everything. I think that ownership is so important. I think that when I first became a rapper and when I first started getting money, I just wanted money. I ain't give a fuck what the contract said.

I was signing that ass close. Right. As long as I had my money, I just felt like... But now, once you really get into the business and you know the business, you need to make sure ownership is everything. You get equity, that's most important, longevity. You know, making sure that you don't even have to work again, you still don't get paid. Right.

What's one thing that you wish you had learned, or you know now that you had known when you first got into this business? Like, you need a good lawyer. You need a good lawyer to make sure you know what the fuck them contracts say, because if not, hey, hey, hey, you're going to be fighting for your life,

and you'll be fighting, dealing with hello. What have you learned about selling product? Because you got your board game, is there anything else you sell? Right now I sell my board game, I got merch, but marketing is key. It is. Like I'm not going like marketing is going to sell the product. Like you can just, I got merch, but marketing is key. It is. Like, I'm not going like marketing

is going to sell the product. Like, you can just, I could see a commercial, I could just see like, just marketing. It's like, god damn, I want that product. Just based off of the marketing of the product. And I think that like marketing is key. You have a marketing team? So how do you sell your bored game?

You put it on your site? Yeah, like I do it on Instagram. I set it on Amazon. I normally just like, right now, I do all my stuff through social media. Yeah. Have you tried to get it into like Target and other? So right now it's a drinking game, and it's like a little.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, it can't really go into like Target right now because it's a drinking game, and it's like 21 or older. It's a little sexual, so it gotta go in like sex stores and stuff like that. You look at like women that have had success. You look at Rihanna. You look at Kim K. You look at some of them. Is that kind of the business model? That's kind of the direction that you want to have? Yes, I'm not gonna lie. Like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna is what I aspire to be.

Like I love music. Don't get me wrong. Like music is not my end goal. Like I really feel like I was put here to be the next Kim K, the next Rihanna, the semi-products. Right. The podcast, what's been your favorite moment on your podcast? I ain't gonna lie, Kev'a Gates. Bitch, being over Free Themes.

Kev'a Gates, he was my first real interview, and he came and he brought the energy. He brought the smoke. When I'm saying you ready to get to the smoke, and he ain't hold back, I don't think that that podcast could have popped off no other way besides him because he was ready for everything. A more guest that came on,

it was like a little more reserved, you know, they want to know the questions beforehand. He was just like, what's up, I'm here. And that was my favorite interview. Mariah the scientist did reveal on your podcast that she used to date Lil Yachty. Did you know that beforehand? Yeah, I did.

A lot of people didn't know that, did they? No. Why do you think she revealed that? Because she was thug. I think it's just a part of her story, you know? Like, she made a song about it. And I think that I did my research and my homework, so when I was able to just really bring it out of her,

I think she was ready to tell the truth. Again, we talk about this hate. You won the best podcast, you won it twice. And you're like, hold on, she ain't do but two episodes. She ain't been able to listen, I've been blah, blah, blah. Right. Okay, I'm putting it into perspective, right? Okay.

You see how when Cat Williams came on here and he sunk that mother through the roof and that was the most talked about. That can get you the best podcast because that was the most talked about episode of the season. You understand? Like you brought something new, you brought something different.

He came over here and set this mother fucker off like a firecracker. You did. So it's just like, I felt like at the time my podcast was just different. Like I'm on there, we doing hookah, we playing games. It was just like a whole different vibe. It wasn't just like the regular podcast where it's just audio. It was also visuals. It's also aesthetic. It's also aesthetic.

It's also just the style of my interview, like how I bring people on, how I was answering the questions. Like I'm just dead ass like, why does my second call back, huh? That was what everybody was tuned in to now. People move into something so different. Like they'll be on this today and be on something tomorrow. That was just now and it was in real time.

And I just think that's what it was. They'll be hating, huh? Yeah. You were going back and forth with Joe Bud time. And I just think that's what it was. They'll be hatin', huh? Yeah. You were goin' back and forth with Joe Budden. Are y'all cool now? I already know, like he's older, you know? I already know him neither. And I just feel like I don't have no problem.

I can't be for me, I'm a woman. You know, like I'm in my 30s, I don't know how old he already. That's a man, I ain't got no beef with him. Acting, you wanna get into acting? I do. I really would ain't got nothing for him. Acting, you want to get into acting? I do. I really want to. You got a lot going, you want to have a lot going on.

You got your board game going on, you got your career going on. You want to like... I want to do everything. I feel like the sky's the limit. I feel like everybody always box me in. I feel like I'm the underdog. I can't rap, I can't act, I can't do this, I can't do that.

And I feel like I'm just like one of God's favorite. He always just, every time they say no, he say yeah. Every time he say no. Because you going to be in the MF. So what was that like? It was fun. You nervous? I was so nervous because I had such a serious role.

It wasn't like, okay, you could go and be Markeisha, or you could go and just be who you are. I had to really tap into, like, emotions. Like, your husband just got killed. Right. And you have to ask this person, like, where's your husband? He's never coming home again.

And I tried to, like, tap into reality. Like I said, like losing my child, father. I tried to, like, go into that. So my tears was real, but the emotions just didn't end. Just didn't end. Mm-mm. So it didn't come out like you wanted to. Right.

I tried like 15 times, though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But that's 50's show. And 50, to his credit, he be putting his people on. I love what he's done. He's building that big studio. I think it's in Shreveport.

It's going to have a production company. So what's 50 like? I'm not going to lie. I didn't meet him on set, but I called him because they sent me before the episode aired, like they sent me to review it, and I called him and said, 50, I don't like this. Like it was horrible.

Like, please don't put me out there like that, like I don't want to face them like that. Last year he was like, you know what, you got to start from somewhere, like this putting you in a game, like people will always have something to say, like you got to start from somewhere, like what they talking about,

like you're going to be good, I like it. Like get out your head, start worrying about what the people going to say, like you know what I'm saying, like this going to open doors for you. And when I had that conversation, I was just like, damn, you right. Right. Would you do reality TV?

Ooh, I tried it. I did, I had a reality TV show and I just felt like it's not really reality. You know, like it's a mix of reality with a little drama and I feel like if I'm ever gonna do reality TV, it have to be reality. Like I want to sell my life. Like I don't want to make a storyline, make something traumatic.

Like I'm not really into that. You mentioned earlier that you were involved with a drive by why you were pregnant, were you the intended target or they were after your baby's father? I don't know. You're not sure. I honestly don't know, but it was the craziest experience ever and I just know that God is really, God love me because that was like, all I know is I was leaving the studio, I stopped to a stop sign, I heard gunshots and I'm like, oh my God, somebody's shooting.

And I like, smelt the gunfire. They're shooting at me. I'm like, big, pregnant. Wow. Jump out the car and she started running. Hold up, why'd you just take off? Because they shot my tires out. My car was in the car. I was like big pregnant. Wow. Jump out the car and she started running. Hold up, why'd you just take off?

Because they shot my tires out. My car, it was shot up like 22 times. They shot your car 22 times? And then it hit you once? I showed you the pictures. Wow. I'm going to show you the pictures after this interview, I promise you.

So you're like, damn, they shooting. Damn, they shooting at me. Because it was so like... It's real, huh? It felt like when I heard it, because I'm going to stop signing, I just heard like gunshots. I'm like, damn, they shooting. But it wasn't until I smelled the gunpowder that it was like they were shooting at me. Right. But like in the instance, it just sounded so far away.

Right. So you take off running. Did they follow? Did... My phone was there. instance it just sounded so far away. Right. So you take off running, did they follow? Did my phone was there? That's why I don't think it was for me because once I got the car and started running the gunshots stopped. Right. I don't know if they saw I was pregnant or what but like once I got out of the car like my first instance was like just get out the car because the car wouldn't go. Right. Got out and I ran and it was just like. Did they ever find out who did it?

Damn. Would you ever move away from Miami? No. You got to stay at the bottom. I love Miami. I done traveled so many places and I just like, it's nothing like Miami. I've been there my whole 31 years. My mom's side of the family is from there

and my dad's side of the family is from there. So my whole family is from Miami. It's not like my mom is from Miami side of the family is from there. So my whole family is from Miami. It's not like my mom is from Miami, my dad is from somewhere else. Like my whole family is in Miami and I've been in my whole life and I just love it. You mentioned you're a mom, you have two kids. What type of mom are you?

Ooh, I'm like a, I'm very- You'll push over mom? Mm-mm. No, I got good kids, thank God. My son is 11, my daughter is five. My son is so respectful. He's like a, he loves school. Like he loves school.

Like he do his homework. He made A's and B's. Like I don't have to be on him by nothing. So I just feel like by the grace of God, like I'm just, just get to be a regular mom. Like I'll check on him. He's talking to me about things. Like, like,

just, I ain't no pushover though. Hey, it has gone on, punishment. Damn. Is it true that, you know, your baby daddy, you talk to the women that's gonna date him to let him know what's going on in you and his situation? What, he said it? Your baby daddy.

Who, what's your? Like when he dates. Your oldest son, father's deceased, right? So this new one. Y'all together? No. Y'all not together? So you talk.

So what's it like? Like he's dating, you're dating. Do you introduce your people to him? He ain't going for nothing. I ain't not gonna lie, he don't want. He don't want another party that high? No. He don't like nobody I'm with. He ain't cool, he ain't going for nothing, I ain't gonna lie. He don't want. He don't want another part of that, huh? No. He don't like nobody I'm with.

He ain't cool, he ain't nothing. He just, that's just my baby daddy. That's just my baby daddy. Ha ha ha ha ha. But do you talk to his people? Mm mm, I don't even care. I ain't even gonna lie. But they gonna be around your daughter?

No they not. Whoa, whoa, damn. No, not like that. I'm the type of I'm the type of woman that it's just like I trust him enough that anybody he bring around my child I know that. They good with. I'm not I'm not into all that look or a childish thumb ring but I'm not really too fond of who he that and like that's on him I don't even give a good look. What about kids on social media? Your son has a social media account.

You're lying on social media. Yeah, he got a social media account, but he don't post. My kids is kids. I don't like them on social media. Social media is too... They got too many opinions about my kids, baby. Yeah, you don't play by that. I'm going to hell. Hell and hell about mine. I mean, do you feel kids are off limits on social media?

Or they should be off limits? Yeah, I think so. I think that kid is just innocent, you know? But you know, you see Lil Baby and his baby's mom, they're having to respond. Do you think that's a mistake? Just let it, I mean, or I'm sure if somebody, it's easy to say you should just let it go, but that's my child and I'm going to be protected. And that's what I'm saying.

I hate that they in a position to even have to defend their kids. Right. Those kids are kids. Let them express themselves. These not teenagers. This is a kid that we're talking about, probably in elementary school.

It's not a 16, 17-year-old. Like, why do I have to get on the internet and defend my child? Right. The internet are so negative. They do. People behind a computer and they're saying anything. I can't deal with that.

I can't deal with that. I would have been like, oh my God. When your oldest son father was tragically had his life taken, and you realize that now, damn, I got to raise him on my own. Was he old enough to remember his dad, doesn't know his dad?

Was he old enough? So he was turning five, turning five, and now he's 11. He didn't really understand at the time, like when I had to explain it to him, he was like, my dad is with God now, and I'm like, yeah. But now he understand, I think that he sit with his emotions and his thoughts, and he had like a, his dad raised him. So he's able to like know that his dad was in his life.

But yeah. Mom with the prison. So let me ask you a question. Your mom go to youth. So now you got to take over because now you got to be the mom. Did you have any resentment towards your mom? I don't want to say resentment, no, because I saw my mom, like, I know that my mom went to prison.

Her mother was on drugs her whole life. My mom said, like, she never saw her mother not on drugs. So it just, like, me as a mom, it's just me just understanding, like, seeing my grandmother on drugs, I understand why she had to do what she did, so I could never judge her, because it's like I had a beautiful life as a child. You know, like my mom did what she needed to do, so I can never blame her because she didn't have a mom. You know?

So it was just like, I understood it. Like I was able to like understand, like, I'm from Miami, my grandma was on drugs, so like my mama had to do what she had to do. Well, you had a deranged relationship? Yes. Yes, I was. And?

Somehow I won't wish on nobody. I think that domestic violence is real. I was young. I won't say that you think that it's love, but it's like when you go through it the first time, you may think like, oh my God, he love me, he put his hands on me, but it's like after a while, you just learned that it's like, that's not okay. And you have to get that person help.

You have to, and it's something that like, you should never tolerate. Like the first time, you got to leave. What would you say would someone in a similar situation, you went through it at a very young age, so what would you tell a young woman that's going through a very similar situation? Leave. Because I think that like, oftentimes you feel like it's love, like you think like,

oh, this person loves me, that's not love. And I think that like, you should leave. Was it hard for you to leave? It was. It was hard for me to leave because again, I was young. I felt like it was love and it's just like, I tolerated it and then after a while, like the last time was the last time,

I was like, you know what, I can't do this no more. Did he beg you to come back? Yeah. You're like, nah, I'm good. Yeah, I was like, nah. But I got him help though. Did you? Yeah. Wow.

He had to go to anger management classes and he came back and was like, you know what, thank you for that, I needed that. I needed him help though. Did you? Yeah. Wow. He had to go to anger management classes, and he came back and was like, you know what? Thank you for that. I needed that. I needed that help. If it wasn't for you doing what you did, I wouldn't have. It was able to help me grow. Have you ever dated a man that was jealous of your success?

I won't say jealous, but a little insecure. It's hard dealing with you though, man. It is, because it's like, sometimes I'll be needing you to understand that it's just like, it's just work. Like it's not, it's not serious. It's really not. Like I feel like as an entertainer, I want to be able to entertain.

I want to be able to do my job. I don't want to be held back. That's the only way I'm be able to thrive. How you meant to help now? Mentally, I'm not gonna lie, 2025, thank God I feel good. I'm finding a happy space. Like, last year was like one of the darkest time of my life. And I just, I was so excited to turn 30.

Like I was like, oh, I don't turn 30, I'm gonna be 30. And it was just like the minute, January 2024 hit. It was the race year of my life. Why was it so bad? Just overcoming just everything that I was going through. Like, you know, just my relationship, just my career, just everything. It was just like a lot at one time, and I was just going through everything, trying to navigate. And this year, I'm just taking control.

Like, I'm just having fun. I'm getting back to myself. I'm in my bag, and I'm just like, I'm having a ball. I'm 31. I'm going to enjoy this year. Are you at peace now? Yeah, I'm just like, I'm having a ball. I'm 31, I'm going to enjoy this year. Are you at peace now? Yeah, I'm at peace. Who are we? Now you're in your 30s.

You're like 30 was hard, you're 31 now, you finally made peace with it. I'm in my 30s, everything seems to be going well. What can we expect from Carisha moving forward?
