I think.
I don't know.
No, I'm just like,
I got to throw that shit over there.
This has been the
Take Me Crazy World
Radio Drink Chats
Happy Hour Make Some.
Now, we got,
today we have
the Puerto Rican princess. Did I make it stutter? Yes. Yes. Yes, more we can bridge she showed up late
To show them like the latest guest this year. So I gotta say that
We're still in the first quarter. You showed up DMX style. This is DMX style style of work
But listen, listen, I had to do it. I had to make sure that when I came in here... You had to do it like it's your B-day. Absolutely. Do it like it's your B-day. Come on.
Come on, God damn it.
So tell us what's going on.
Well, first of all, can I get a joint?
Of course.
Holy, holy, holy.
I was waiting for you.
Can I get a joint?
We usually have plastic,
but now we got glass.
Let's smoke it, smoke it.
Yes, yes.
You got a joint.
Thank you.
He gonna unroll you some more.
So let's take it from the beginning, right?
When we first seen you come on the scene,
it was obviously through love and hip-hop.
Yes.
And I believe y'all was the first season, right?
Because I believe it was New York was the first season
and then it went to Atlanta.
But was you in the first season of the Atlanta one?
What's that?
Ooh.
I like that sound.
I like that sound.
So, I was in the first season.
I think I was in the first season Of Atlanta
Because I think it came out
In New York first
I'm sure
With Jim Jones
And Chrissy and them
Yes
And then
I think it went straight to Atlanta
Yeah
And then I was
I was 23 when I did
Love & Hip Hop
I was
I had just met
Stevie J
Which I'm sure
You were
Of course
You guys know him
Yeah and I started doing
I had met him
I actually had met him
like a week prior
to doing Love & Hip Hop.
Oh, okay.
So this is something,
because I did a season
of Love & Hip Hop, right?
Miami, right?
I did Miami, yeah.
Just one season.
I liked it,
I'll tell you the truth.
But to tell you,
let me ask you a question,
because this is a rumor
that everyone thinks.
Everyone thinks that,
you know,
this is a setup.
Meaning, they'll come in and say
this person's going to throw a drink
and then y'all going to...
Was it like that for you?
Okay, so
the first season of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta,
right?
Mm-hmm.
I want to say they
had producers
that were doing their jobs,
which is amazing.
You got to do your motherfucking job, right?
But then I want to say they had audiences like me
that was going to come and be their selves
and just push the limits.
And everything that I went through in Love & Hip Hop was real, real.
I don't really never blame the producers.
I usually...
Wow.
You know why I can't blame the producers?
Because I feel like you have to take responsibilities for yourself.
You're going to go on TV, anything can happen,
and you're being open, especially, like, in a reality TV show.
And, I mean, you know, everybody got to do their job
to have a great show and they're great producers.
So, like, I highly doubted that the producers are in there,
but, like, you know, throw a drink at that bitch.
Like, you know, slap that bitch. You know what I'm saying? I'm not saying nobody has never said that like, throw a drink at that bitch. Slap that bitch.
I'm not saying nobody has never said that.
I'm sure they have said that.
But I don't really think that was the deal
with Love & Hip Hop the first season.
I think it was just so raw.
You had Stevie J with Mimi.
You know, to tell you the truth,
me being an outsider looking in,
when the New York was like,
but when it got to Atlanta,
it was like, wait a minute,
this is now television.
Well, you're having it right there.
Yeah, I was like, now this is television
because the first season,
and by the way, I watch every love and hip hop.
I'm a big love and hip hop.
That's the reason why I did it.
But it felt like that was like the breakout season
when it went to Atlanta
and it was like, it was no host ball.
There was everything going out.
And that's why I always wanted to wonder
because it was so good TV.
It was like, damn,
did they set this up a little bit?
Like, you know,
but you're saying they put you in the room.
Salud.
Salud.
Salud.
Hey!
Hey!
So, you're saying your part
was really,
they get you in the room
and just straight to it.
I mean, I'm saying that they,
you know what I'm saying?
I'm saying that, okay,
for example, like, I didn't know my baby daddy had a whole woman at home. I mean, I'm saying that they, you know what I'm saying? I'm saying that, okay, for example, like,
I didn't know my baby daddy
had a whole woman at home.
You know what I'm saying?
Wait, you kept calling
the Mimi the maid at one point.
Well, you know, I mean.
How did you come up with that?
I was like, what?
I was sitting there.
I was throwing up.
Oh, my God.
That's funny,
because I just put that
in one of my songs,
my new EP that's coming out.
I just had to go.
I just had to go.
I had to go.
Let's go. Let's go. I respect EP that's coming out I just had to go I just had to go I just had to go Let's go
Let's go
I respect that
You know what
I had to go back
And do a bunch of my
Like liners
And put them on my new EP
Because I just feel like
They deserve it
You know what I'm saying
I just feel like
They need to hear that
But shout out to Mimi
I think you know
Here's the thing
Mimi's a great person
Let me just say that
She's an amazing woman
It's dope to hear you say that
Yeah no
She's an amazing woman Right And's dope to hear you say that. Yeah, no, she's an amazing woman.
Right.
And you know, Mimi grew up in Scientology.
Really?
You guys didn't know that?
No.
The religious Scientology in California.
She lived in the Scientology building from the age of 12.
I mean, I'm sorry, from the age of five all the way to the age of 13.
And Mimi is really a great person, but her mother was in the church really bad.
And so Mimi just really grew up just knowing that.
So it was really easy when you,
so when you grow up in like a cult type of church,
it's easy for anybody to come and play games with you.
Because I mean, Stevie is all right,
but he's not like the greatest player.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I mean, let's just be real.
And so I just feel like she like,
I just feel like She's a great person
And you know
I hated to call her
Molly the maid
But the bitch used to do
Clean houses
Right right right
You know what I'm saying
And when I called the bitch
Molly the maid
I swear
I did not plan that
It was just like
Bitch
Put on your t-shirt
And go do what you do best
It's clean
The motherfucking dishes
You know
It's not like it was planned
I still think
She's a great woman
A great mother And a great mother, and a great person.
All right, goddamn, make some noise for that, man.
That's what...
So let's talk about Zeus, right?
Is it Zeus, you guys?
Network.
Because I heard somewhere
that you are a owner of Zeus?
No, I do not own Zeus,
but I do own Jocelyn's Cabaret.
Okay, so you own your show on that.
I own my show, which a lot of people that's on Suze, they don't have the same deal that I have.
I hear what you're trying to say.
I know what you're trying to say.
I hear what you're saying.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I don't want to get into details because I don't want to fuck up nobody's way of doing things.
You don't want to hurt nobody's feelings.
Yeah, and I don't want to fuck up anybody's company on how they operate and do their things.
It's just that when I came on board,
coming from loving hip-hop for so many years,
and I just felt like, you know,
I made VH1 Viacom billions of dollars.
Goddamn it.
Like, yeah, I'm going to say that again.
Goddamn it.
Yes, billions.
Yes, yes, yes.
And the reason why I'm going to...
Noriega, you've been in the industry for a very long time.
You know how this shit works, right?
It's horrible.
Well, the thing is, what I'm saying,
what I'm trying to get at is I made the people so much money.
Right.
Like, I had a friend that's a lawyer in Atlanta.
And for years, he's a black man.
For years, we were, like, he's a black man. For years,
we were like talking
and ownership
and EP property
and stuff like that.
And so a lot of people don't know,
you know,
intellectual property
is very important for you to gain
or get as you're growing up in the game.
And it's going to be hard for you
to get it in the beginning,
but you could actually get
your intellectual property
if you stay on top of your shit
and really focus on getting that
You know what I'm saying
And so coming from doing something like
Love and Hip Hop
I just always feel like
I was just like wow
I come from nothing
The
I grew up with no shoes in Puerto Rico
The projects of Puerto Rico
It was hard you know
Right right well
And I feel like sometimes
You gotta just go there
You gotta just say
You know what fuck this shit
That's right
We gonna have a You we gon' drink up.
We ain't gettin' emotional.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We gotta celebrate.
Because our show is literally about
giving people their flowers.
And I want you to know, we saw you come from the bottom
and to where you at, it's amazing.
And you deserve your flowers.
That's what our show is about.
So yeah
Dog said it's like a gram Thank you guys so much. I love it. Thank you guys. I know.
I was getting emotional.
But look, being able to get your intellectual property after you grew up with nothing and worked for the white people for so many years, and then you come and you actually could own
something, like Jocelyn's Cavalry.
I started putting Jocelyn's Cavalry when I was probably like 20.
And what season are you on?
I'm about to be on season four.
Damn.
I would have already shot season four,
but I went to go do College Hill.
Oh, College Hill.
That's right.
Which is coming out next month.
You, Amber Rose, Ray J.
Who else?
Who else was in there?
Kwe Kwe, the boy that be wearing the wigs.
Okay.
The basketball player.
Tiana Taylor's husband.
Yeah, Tiana Taylor's husband.
Amar Shepard.
Yes. Amar Shepard. Yes.
Amar Shepard.
He was on there.
The girl that acts.
What's her name?
Pee Pee.
We'll call her Pee Pee.
Okay.
Parker.
Okay.
Parker.
Okay.
She was on there.
She played one of the shows with the Wayans brothers for many years.
She's a little thot.
She was up in there dancing to my song, shaking that ass.
I was like,
bitch, how old is you?
So let me ask you,
how did you and Amber Rose
get along?
Because I remember
seeing that picture.
I remember the internet
kind of like going crazy
and we found out
you guys was doing
Collar's Hill,
making it over.
But I remember
people were saying like,
those are two strong
women personalities.
New York was there too.
Oh, New York,
from Tiffany, okay.
Yeah.
But how was it meeting? Did
you know Amber before that? Yeah. Well, not hanging out, but I met her before. Okay. Followed
each other on Instagram before. Yeah. Just from like the industry. Okay. Because that's what a
lot of times they say girls can't get along. Right. And is that something that you feel like
is true? Can I tell you something? Sure.
I feel like the house was hanging on me bad.
I was not ready.
I feel like the house was hanging on me.
The whole house?
The whole house.
Let me tell you, like, I could really dress.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I got on a $1,500 dress just to come see you guys.
Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn.
I knew it.
Let me get a light.
Let me get a light.
Do it like it's your beauty, eh?
Let's go. I got on a $7,000 purse. Goddamn it. Do it like it's your beauty, eh? Let's go.
I got a $7,000 purse.
God damn it.
And I got a $2,000 shoe.
I got a $150,000 change, $2,000 watch, 60 on this hand.
And I was in school like this every day.
Yes, god damn it.
They ain't like that shit.
They ain't like that shit.
They ain't like that shit.
So y'all was one.
They had beat.
Nobody liked that shit.
I was the last one on that motherfucking bus and every time I went out there
to get on the motherfucking bus,
everybody seen out there
wait, what she got on today?
One of them changed three times.
Bitch, you still look like you.
Bitch, you changed 20 times.
Bitch, you still gonna come out.
So I really like, honestly,
like, if I could just take out
one person that was not feeling
a certain type of way about me,
it had to be Neiman
and Omarion's brother,
Orion.
The guys.
Well, I just said two people.
Right.
That's the guys.
There's more guys in there.
Oh.
She talking about the guys
she felt was hating on him, man.
Okay, so this is what I'm saying.
I feel like the whole house
was hating on me,
but I feel like two people
was not hating on me.
And they both happened to be guys.
And they both happened to be guys. But not because I was hating on me, but I felt like two people was not hating on me. And they both happened to be guys. And they both happened
to be guys.
But not because
I was a cute girl,
because those two guys
have ladies at home.
They're married men.
But because I wasn't
wearing heels
and little dresses like this.
I was wearing like,
you know, like,
you know, like,
Dolce & Gabbana,
like, jean jackets
with the pants
and the shoe.
He don't know
nothing about that.
College students.
He don't know
nothing about it. No, listen. He don't know nothing about that college he don't know nothing about it he don't know anything about class or anything he don't know anything
so like i wasn't get the lighter i wasn't going like wine out of a glass
you fancy baby no no you're fat you fancy he didn't tell you that he He ain't tell you that's $4 wine, though. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
This is a...
This is a 100-pointer.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.
Okay, continue.
Where the fuck you find it, Mac?
I don't think I find it.
Oh, I got it.
He don't know
what a 100-pointer is.
You want to try it?
You want to try it?
Don't let him fool you.
He don't know
what a 100-pointer is.
I want you to try it.
And then I want Jocelyn
to try just a little sip.
And then she can tell you
if it's 100-pointers.
I don't care for wine.
This has to be the last thing on the menu,
and then I'll be like, fuck it, let me get it.
Really?
I'm going to drink gasoline if it's the last thing on the menu.
You seem like a tequila type of person.
You know what?
I do like Jose Cuervo.
Okay.

We Deleon over here.
Same thing, right?
No.
No, Deleon is way fresher.
Two different people. Actually, my cabaret,
can I say it like that?
Actually, my cabaret ladies
just started like having me
on the tequila
because them hoes
began fucked up.
Like before,
I was just like drinking champagne.
How do you find them?
So I do an audition, right?
And so I was the first person
on Suze that is like
put the whole program together.
During COVID, right? Su that's that's a club
in New York no Zeus is the network the network oh Zeus oh my bad I thought we were going to change
it up my bad she don't pronounce her Z's like that I get it I get it during the COVID I had already got
uh picked up for season one because I got picked up for season one before the COVID, I had already got picked up
for season one
because I got picked up
for season one before the COVID.
You know, I had met,
me and my fiance had just left
the boot camp,
celebrity boot camp.
I get that too.
We get a lot of the same checks.
Make some noise for us.
A lot of the same checks.
I respect that.
Get that money for the recess.
We actually had just left that And I met the owner of Suze
At the hotel
We met him at the hotel
I gave him my whole thing
What happened
WeTV had originally
They did like my
You know like
They put it together for me
I gave them
Yeah WeTV
I gave them the idea
They put it together for me
They spent like
Three four hundred thousand dollars But they never picked it up They thought it was too explicit Right I gave them that. Yeah, WeTV. I gave them the idea. They put it together for me. They spent like $300,000, $400,000,
but they never picked it up.
They thought it was too explicit, right?
And so I was like, okay, well, shit,
thank you for doing this shit.
I showed it to Lemmy.
He was like, let's do it.
And it was just to make WeTV
to come back around and license my show
to put it on their network,
which I thought it was like,
I mean, you guys are,
like you had it first, right?
And so during COVID,
I was like, shit,
we got to get some money.
We can't be outside.
How about let me let the girls audition for the Cavalry?
Right. So, I was the first one on the network to, like, do an online audition.
So, basically, the girls were sending their audition tapes.
I remember you viewing the tapes.
Yeah, and I was viewing the tapes and doing, like, what you guys basically do, like, just commentary, just talking shit, right?
Right.
And so, like, that's how we kind of picked out the girls.
Then my producers would pick it out
because like I ain't got time to go over 3,000 ladies.
They nail it down for me to like 20 girls
and then I go in and then I start working.
I want this one, I want this one.
It's all creative.
I mean, I created Jocelyn's Cabaret.
Right.
I created the theme.
I created the music on there.
Well, I'm signed to my husband's label, so he makes the music for me, but I write the theme I created the music on there Well, I'm signed to my husband's label
So he makes the music for me
But I write the music
I create the show
I do all the episodes
I do everything
So that's how I started doing the auditions
That's how I find them
That's how I find my ladies
And you'll be surprised
There's so many of them, you know
And we actually just left tour
I was into
Obviously, you guys played my One of actually just left tour. I was in tour.
Obviously, you guys play my,
one of my most famous songs when I walked in.
I was on tour for six months in 2022,
right after the cabaret.
Damn.
I mean, my shows are insane.
Like, people, first of all, people just be crying.
I'm like, girl, I'm just jostling.
Please, relax.
Like, relax.
I've noticed that about you.
Like, I follow you,
and I noticed that about you. When people are, the people who, your fans are, they are fans. Like, relax. I noticed that about you. Like, I follow you, and I noticed that about you.
When people are, the people who, your fans are, they are fans.
Like, they really go all out for you.
Is that something you saw in life before, or is it still surreal for you?
Well, look, when I was five, I knew I wanted to sing and dance, right?
And when I met Stevie at 23, I had an artist.
I was managing this little girl, right?
Wow.
She was 18, I was 23.
And I was still stripping.
I was stripping in Onyx in Atlanta.
Onyx, yeah.
They got the best wings.
They got the best wings.
That's why I think- You look just like my homeboy.
That is crazy.
I swear.
You look just like GB.
GB was the guy that- He's a married man. He used to go in there. You know, he GB GB was the guy That He was
He's a married man
He used to go in there
You know he's the type of guy
That get like $50 worth of dance
It's insane
You on your way
Here's a drink
Like one of those guys
And it's like
When it's a slow night
Hey let me get that 50
Let me get that drink
You know what I'm saying
So he's one of them
So I'm like
Damn GB
Do you know what
Do you know music
Do you know music producer
I need to
I need to
I need to get out this strip club
I'm 23
I don't want to be up here
At 25 You know what I'm saying I got shit to do So he introduced me. I'm 23. I don't want to be up here at 25.
You know what I'm saying?
I got shit to do.
So he introduced me.
Yeah, I got goals.
He introduced me to the girl.
And he was like, you need to be doing music.
But prior to that, you know Brian McKinney?
Yes.
Yeah.
B-Mac.
B-Mac used to always want me to do music.
He wanted to sign me to his label and stuff like that.
Because I met him when I used to be a stripper too. And I'm like, Brian, fuck you and the mic.
I'm not doing that. I got to make some money. Stop talking to me about that. So that was
when I was like 18 or 19. So then when I met Stevie, I was like, damn, why everybody keep
telling me to do music? And when I was a little girl at five, I knew, I was like, damn, I
want to sing and I want to dance. But growing up in the ghetto, nobody got no money to do
shit. I'm like, shit, I got to go out there and try to get me some money from these niggas.
They want to throw it at me.
Fuck it.
So I was never like, okay, this is what I'm going to do.
But I got the opportunity to want to be discovered by somebody like B-Mac and then Stevie.
And I was like, shit, I'm going to do it.
And what really helped me, because, you know, no one's perfect.
Stevie's not perfect, but I really learned from him, and I appreciate him for that.
And also, what really got me to be to where I'm at right now, I sat up, him and I appreciate him for that. And also, what really
got me to be to where I'm at right now,
aside of Brian McKinney
or Stevie J, is
my fiance Ballistic. He really, when I told him
this is really what I want to do. Mind you,
he's been seeing me on Love & Hip Hop with Stevie for
seven years, trying to do music.
He probably like, bitch, you're not serious.
But when I got with him, he's like, oh my gosh, she is serious.
So we really took it there.
And like, one of my songs got 100 million
streams on it. Just one of my songs.
I feel like, you know, coming from Brian McKinney
to Stevie J and then to
my fiance, soon to be husband,
Ballistic, he just really saw the
and you know my fiance.
We've hung that before with your wife and stuff like that.
He really just allowed me to be creative.
I think Stevie and I had a lot of problems.
And I just feel like...
To tell you the truth, me as an outsider looking in,
I kind of felt like you and Stevie's music kind of sounded forced.
It didn't sound like the chemistry was there as opposed to where it sounds now.
I feel like you're being more you
And just more like
Natural
Yeah
Does it feel like that?
Well
The reason why you feel like that is
I think it's because
I have more creative control now
Like I'm just like
I'm not going in the studio
Like they telling me what to do
I'm actually
When I go in the studio with Ballistic
I'm going in the studio
He makes the beat right there
And I write
Like do it like it's your B-day I wrote that in five minutes In the studio With Ballistic I'm going in the studio He makes the beat right there And I write Like do it like it's your B-day
I wrote that in five minutes
In the studio
Vegas
Welcome to Vegas baby
I wanna ride

Like that's the most
Trendiest song on TikTok
Even to this day
No other song
Has ever been more trendier

They sped it up

Just after that one song
You know And I feel like Just being in a relationship with Ballistic and just really, you know, I think in the relationships, when you work with each other, you have to respect each other.
That's right.
And just really be serious about the work.
And I think that's why I finally became successful with the music.
I mean, I made, listen, I made $700,000 on my tour.
That's a lot.
We're independent. We're independent. Nobody's game was any money. This is $700,000 on my tour. That's a lot. We're independent.
We're independent.
Nobody's gave us any money.
This is the money.
This is my money, my management money, and my fiance's money.
We do everything with our own money.
So for you to make that type of money on a tour, that's fucking epic.
So how do you find the balance between the relationship and then the work?
Because that can't be easy.
The relationship
with my partner?
With Ballistic.
The relationship
between man and woman
and the work.
It's like a lot.
You know what?
I think that,
okay, so
when me and Ballistic fuck,
we're going to fuck
for like seven hours
that night.
Okay.
We wasn't ready.
I wasn't ready for that.
My bad.
She ain't want me. She just went right now. I'm just saying. that. My bad. She ain't want me nothing.
She just went right now.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying,
you got to do what you got to do
to suck your woman's pussy all night.
No, God damn it.
Sonny ain't even ask that at all.
Sonny ask nothing.
I was being good.
I was being good.
You guys are so petty.
I swear to God.
We are petty.
Yes, but...
But we're here for everything.
A little bit later.
So, look. Listen, this is what I'm going to tell you. Okay, so look. This is what I'm going petty, I swear to God. We are petty. Yes, but we're here for everything. So, look.
Listen, listen what I'ma tell you.
Okay, so look, the, the, this is what I'ma tell you.
The balance, right?
And so, I'm not, I don't sit on my husband's cock every day.
I'm not doing that.
He gonna work for this pussy.
Okay.
I'm talking about he gonna work for this pussy.
Okay.
Nigga, you gonna work and you gonna talk that,
you gonna talk for three hours to tell me.
He acting like he balanced. Iga, you're going to work and you're going to talk that, you're going to talk, you're going to talk for three hours to tell me.
He acting like he got it.
I'm telling you how he got it.
She's breaking it down. I love how she's breaking it down.
I'm breaking it down for you.
Okay.
No, this is what I'm trying to tell you.
This is how I'm breaking it down.
So,
when we work, we work.
What?
And there's nothing more.
I only go in the studio in the daytime.
He be there all day.
I leave him there.
Peace.
Do your thing.
At home, we got a baby.
We taking her home.
You know, he takes the baby to school every day
and pick her up every day for the past three years.
Right.
The past three years, you know?
Take care about him.
That's it.
Shout out to that.
So, you know, we're not fucking every day,
and I don't want to fuck you every day.
You know what I'm saying?
Nigga, I want you to motherfucking... like, he bought me these chains for my birthday.
God damn it.
Beautiful.
Beautiful chain.
Yes.
And I was like, nigga, you think you sleep.
You will buy me something that say Puerto Rican princess.
So, I just always have it in my face.
Just know it came from you.
Why the fuck I couldn't buy myself?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, next time when I get mad, I got to wear that shit.
Oh, he bought it.
Fuck.
I hate him.
You know?
Right.
So, like, I like to be, you need to finesse me.
Even if you are my soon-to-be husband, nigga,
I'm not just finna fuck you.
You ain't that cute.
Nobody's that cute.
You got to remember, I came from nothing.
When I first started out, I was young.
I was going out the door just to get somebody to pick me up
to let me get that check.
And that had nothing to do with me opening up my list
because I always had that game.
You know what I'm saying?
I've been a pimp.
I got bitches working for me,
and they're going to work for me forever.
This motherfucking check from my cabaret
is into the motherfucking world goes under.
I get paid.
When I die, my kid get it.
When she die, her kid get it.
It's like motherfucking good times.
When that bitch is playing,
guess who getting paid?
Me.
Okay?
Madam Jocelyn.
Call me that.
I'm ready for another whiskey.
Well, at the end of the day,
like, you know, I respect myself, and I make my husband respect me.
Like, nigga, you ain't just...
What you done this week you want to get this pussy all night?
What?
Fuck you done this week.
Oh, fuck.
You want me to send my fat Puerto Rican pussy on your dick for what?
Look, yesterday, yesterday, he's like, you drop something.
He goes, you drop something.
I go like this, Lord. Jamie, I need a drink. I go like this, Lord. He's like, you drop something. He goes, you drop something. I go like this, Lord.
Jamie, I need a drink.
I go like this.
He's like, no, turn the other way.
I'm like, you're not going to get no peekaboo.
Because you want to get a motherfucking peekaboo?
Fucking peekaboo by me today.
Peekaboo, baby.
So to answer your question, we basically just balance by me respecting myself as a woman,
me giving him responsibilities as a man, and me taking responsibilities as a woman.
That's how we balance.
And it works.
I think it does.
I like it.
I like it.
I'll get another whiskey because I think that could work as well.
You are so petty.
I cannot.
No, no, no.
You killed it.
You killed it.
So let me ask you right
It was a famous scene right
In the reunion show
Okay
And it was like
You and Stevie on one side
And then it was Benzino
Althea
Althea
On the other side
Hotea
They used to call her Hotea
Oh my goodness
Ho
Hotea Like a hoe But why. Hotea, they used to call her Hotea. Oh, my goodness. Ho, ho, Hotea, like a hoe.
But why they say that?
Why they say that?
I, listen.
All right.
I've been asking.
You know when them hoes be in California?
I didn't think I was going to be at all this much.
When them hoes be from California for too long?
All right.
That pussy be loose.
That pelvic floor be on the floor.
Ooh, Lord Jesus.
They pee and that bitch is down.
You ever seen porn and the girl...
Have you guys ever watched
a porn and was crawling through
and then you see, like,
somebody's pussy's, like,
literally outside?
It's your pelvic floor.
You never...
No fucking way.
Noreen, you know
what I'm talking about.
Yes, we do.
Good to hear.
You know what I'm talking about.
You know what I'm talking about.
Okay, I'm going to ask
you another question.
I might have seen
a pear singer, too.
Okay, have you seen
the porn where the girls
are getting fisted
and the whole asshole come out?
Oh, I don't know. That's not the one I watch.
No, I'm playing.
You know that?
Hold up, he don't even got to watch.
Hold up, but this is not nothing you got to watch.
If you search porn, if you search porn, everybody knows you got to fucking scroll like Instagram.
So when you're scrolling, you see them booty holes out there, red, pink, everything in your house.
That's the one I go past.
The guts be outside.
I ain't got shit to do with them holes going in to get pounded like that.
I'm just asking you, have you seen it?
No, I don't watch that.
I cannot.
What's up, Drink Champs Army?
Ready for a staggering statistic?
Nearly 77% of fathers settle for their lady's uncomfortable baby bag when they're outside with their kids.
That's according to your very own eyes, so just look around.

What happened in that scene?
With that scene, I'm talking about because,
like, what happened?
They rushed towards y'all.
Y'all rushed towards them.
And then...
Oh, yeah, because we went from
talking about Hothia to fisting.
What the fuck?
Yeah.
I'm trying to stay focused.
Yes.
Let's stay focused.
All right.
So, you know...
Okay, so...
Like, okay, like, let me go back.
So, when I first started doing
Love & Hip Hop, like I said,
I was 23.
And I was, like, really trying
to, like, do the music.
And, like, that was in 2012.
Like 2023 now, I had a successful year doing my tour,
doing two seasons of the Cabaret,
doing College Hill,
doing everything that they say I will not do.
Let's clap for that.
Yeah, let's clap for that.
I need everybody to clap.
Y'all can clap.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right. Wake up, wake up. Come on now. That's right. You know what I'm saying? That's right.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Come on now.
Come on now.
It's been too many years coming.
From Puerto Rico, in the hood, having nothing.
It's been too many years coming.
And I just felt like when I first, I felt like, can I tell you something?
Yeah.
The reason, I think I really feel like a lot of my beginning failure was contributed by
Love & Hip Hop.
Ooh.
Because the people that's on the show,
let's say the cast members,
instead of them
supporting each other,
they always throwing you down.
And I feel like,
you know me,
I'm not no hater.
I always give a bitch
they pops.
I be like,
when somebody say,
you see her doing,
good for her.
Because I learned one thing,
the universe,
the universe is very tricky.
You got to be very careful
See
I'm not a Bible thumper
I'm not a Bible thumper
What's that mean?
That means that people
Always hold in the Bible
Oh
Bitch the scripture says
Ho shut the fuck up
Bitch
Don't hit me with the
Motherfucking scripture
Because you suck dick in the back
Ho
Don't talk to me about that
So
I'm not saying I'm an atheist.
I'm far from an atheist.
I am a good God woman, right?
Because people are always hollering, God, bitch, who's your God?
Your God could be Satan.
That's true.
Your God could be down there, bitch, burning in hell, bitch.
We all there.
Everybody there.
You know what I'm saying?
So for me, I feel like...
The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States. You know what I'm saying? So for me, I feel like...
The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.
Recipients have done the improbable,
showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves.
This medal is for the men who went down that day.
It's for the families of those who didn't make it.
I'm J.R. Martinez. I'm a U.S.
Army veteran myself, and I'm honored to tell you the stories of these heroes on the new season of Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage from Pushkin Industries and iHeart Podcast. From Robert Blake,
the first Black sailor to be awarded the medal, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people
to have received the Medal of Honor twice.
These are stories about people
who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor,
going above and beyond the call of duty.
You'll hear about what they did,
what it meant,
and what their stories tell us
about the nature of courage and sacrifice.

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

People, me now, I walk with cautious.
In Love & Hip Hop, I was going through a lot.
I was trying to make it in the industry, which I always knew that I would,
because I always knew.
Nobody could tell me I wasn't.
I did it not for them.
I did it for me.
They showed me what the fuck I was going to be able to do coming from Puerto Rico
in the projects in La Esmeralda in Puerto Rico sin tener nada.
You know,
without having nothing.
I knew in my mind
there's no way
that this is what
the good universe
that I belong in
has for me.
Right.
No.
Right.
No, and so I feel like
just doing love and hip hop
going through a lot.
I stay focused
but I did went through a lot
because they used to
downplay me a lot
with the...
You think because
from that episode
my bad.
And that's why
I beat their ass
because I was so sick
of them motherfuckers
like the whole fucking time
that's why I beat their ass
because it's like
okay here I am
I'm 23
I'm trying to do the music
y'all know Stevie
sold millions of dollars
worth of records
whether what it sounds like
whatever it sounds like
it don't matter
he's a genius
and I'm not a bad bitch
so y'all chill

right
but they weren't trying
to let me get it right
so they talk and they talk So they talk and they talk
And they talk and they talk
And you know
A lot of the bitches
Used to hate too
Cause like, you know
I was popping shit
On Love & Hip Hop
I come in there
And I let them bitches

Bitch, you ain't shit
Bitch, I've been getting money
Way before you thought
About even knowing
What money was
Like, cause from the mud though
From the mud
When I was a kid

You know what I'm saying?
So I'm that bitch
You gonna respect me

And I always been a fighter
because I had to,
I had to like,
when I used to be a stripper here,

What's the other one
at the Rolex
and the other one was the other one?
Coco's.

Oh, yeah, I've been there.
And take one.
And take one.
So coming from that,
I used to have to fight
them old bitches all the time.
Them old hoes used to be mad as fuck
because I was young
and I had some hot pussy
and I was getting the money.
They were mad.
Bitch, why is you mad?
Bitch, why are you mad?
So I used to fight.
I remember one time
I was giving a lap dance
like this, right?
And the guy was sitting behind me
and the girl,
the light-skinned girl I roll is,
she had a blade
to try to come cut me.
But she didn't know
I had a blade under my waist
so bitch, you're going to get cut too.
So I ran up on that hoe.
That bitch ran outside.
She was gone.
Yeah, bitch.
Because bitch, you're not going to cut me and I'm not going to cut you.
Bitch, we're going to cut each other.
Let's hope you get to me.
So what happened at the reunion?
I think...
Cut.
Oh, she got cut.
Oh, man.
Sorry.
Because I think we never...
At the reunion, what happened at the reunion, I was so sick of them hoes.
You had, you know, all of them just hating on me.
I said, you know what?
If I'm going out, I'm going out with a band.
I was ready to quit that day.
I didn't quit for another like two seasons, but I was ready to quit that night.
I was ready.
I threw in my towel.
You ever heard of people throwing in their towels?
Yeah.
So if I was going to throw in my towels, I'm going to beat all y'all bitches up.
And them bitches
were still sitting there.
How you going to see me
beat this one up,
this one up,

and y'all two still here?
Y'all bitches got to get up.
Yeah.
Get ready for the fight.
You definitely went
and grabbed and snatched
some wigs off.
I snatched everybody's wigs off.
And I threw a few hits
at everybody
because I'm a fighter.
I got into a fight
in college too,
but I ain't going to tell you
who.
Mmm.
Because they still owe me
like $60,000. I got to get the $60. Because they still owe me like $60,000.
Got to get the $60,000.
Got to get the $60,000.
But I need that $60,000 though.
I have to want somebody else.
So I went to college here.
And I went to...
They were trying to get me to do it last year, but I was doing...
The college here films the same time I filmed
The Cabaret.
So last year, which was the first year they did it,
I was like, I can't.
I'm shooting season two.
Like, I cannot.
But this season, I was like, okay, I'm going to push season four back,
and then I'm going to do college here,
which was the best thing that happened to me.
I went to, I've never went to college.
I never even graduated high school.
So, it's real school.
It's real school.
Yeah, it's real school.
I had all hundreds.
I had all hundreds.
Okay.
Listen, my professors was coming at the end,
and these are 60-year-old people, professors,
coming at the end, hugging me.
Like, they couldn't believe it,
because, you know, I was real,
I was, like, in there.
Like, I'm going to give it my all, right?
And so, I guess they was like,
okay, Jocelyn is coming in here.
She's probably like, just like, no.
I'm, like, really like.
Do you think they got special education?
For you in college?
In College Hill,
because that's the only party
how they're going to accept me.
Well, here's the thing.
It's an action.
No, I did get the joke.

I think you should do it,
by the way.

Ooh, 60 on the way.
And guess what?
So you can imagine how much I got, baby.
And that's not my last 20, but 10.
All right.
And look, but here's the thing, though.
Here's the thing.
College, college, I didn't even And look, but here's the thing though. Here's the thing. College, college,
I didn't even,
look, whatever it is,
you don't have to finish
high school or go to college
to be a successful person.
It's what's in your heart.
That's correct.
And then your plan
and then the universe.
You go to the universe.
You give the universe
what you want.
I'm not a Bible thumper
so I'm not going to be here
talking about God.
I'm going to use universe
because we're from a universe.
The earth, right?
We're in the universe.
There's other planets out there
We're in the fucking universe
Right
God is real
I ain't saying he not
I created everything
Whichever God you speak of
Right

I'm talking about 18, 19, 20.
I'm like,
now, you got to be 21
to be in the cabaret.
Right. Not 18. Right. And they all wanted to quit. I'm like, now, you got to be 21 to be in the camera. Right.
Not 18.
And they all wanted to quit.
They was like, man, fuck school.
We go with you right now.
They were ready to ride.
Because they see the picture.
They see I've been on tour.
Right.
They come to my shows.
Anything is possible.
Man, 16, 17, 18, 19-year-old kids be outside that can't get in my shows.
That's 21 crying with their mamas.
They made their mamas.
Am I lying Robert

to come take a picture
when I come out my shows
and I do it all the time
they be crying
can you
no you can't get in
babe you gotta be 21
this is XXXX
my bitches be sucking pussy
on stage
damn
I be not ready
for none of this shit
none of it
I be thinking
I'm used to it
It's just something
And I'm just fucked up
I don't be doing
I don't be doing all of that
I don't
I stay a lady
But
But it's very
It's very
Can I have a little bit more champagne
Of course please
It's very
It's very sexy
It's very like you know
Sensual
And yeah
Sometimes we show tits
And we show a lot of ass
And it's a whole performance
I've seen you kick some ass
on your show
oh
did I?
yeah
this last season?
I don't think I fought last season
not last season
I don't think I fought on my show
in a long time
I don't think you fought on your show
but I remember
seeing something
I think it was on Hollywood Unlocked
oh yeah
who I beat up?
I don't know
it was one of your
employees
yeah yeah she said something yeah yeah but let me ask you she's probably talking shit Oh, yeah. Who happy, though? I don't know. It was one of your employees. It was one of your employees.
Yeah, yeah. She's that thing.
Yeah, yeah.
But let me ask you.
She's probably talking shit.
I was trying to make...
I know we jumped around.
But since that...
Jumping around is good.
You get a lot of conversation like that.
But...
Because Benzino is a person I know.
I actually think I hung out with me,
Ballistic, and Benzino on time.
But since that happened...
But Tito's going with Ballistic.
Yeah, so since that happened,
Benzino hasn't been on the show.
Do you think that has something to do with it,
him not being on the show?
On which show?
He hasn't been on Love & Hip Hop since then,
after the reunion show.
Do you think that has something to do with it?
No, I feel like he could have been on the show.
I feel like maybe he didn't want to be on the show.
You think so?
I don't...
Look, with those type of TV shows you gotta be prepared for growth and prepare for taking yourself to
another level and go somewhere else because it's always like they looking for new talent
you know what i'm saying they always they always want new talent right and so if your storyline
is not like up to date they like they're gonna kick the boots actually when i left i heard that
they brought the price down on a lot of the people that were
original, like, loving hip-hop. So, like, prior,
you know, they were getting, like, let's just say, you know,
I don't know, $25,000 an episode.
They took them down to $15,000.
And so, like, you got to, like, you got to, like, you know, you got to
grow as you go so then that way you can continue to get
the money that you want to get. Because, you know,
this white folks
be flaking with that bag.
Wow.
The white folks? I'm with that bag. White folks?
I'm saying like Viacom, like the owners of this,
on this networks or labels.
Okay.
Yeah, they got black people working under them
just to do the dirty job,
but they ain't the ones giving the money.
So yeah, you got one lady up there working and saying,
okay, well, we got a budget for Jocelyn for 100,000 episodes.
We got a budget for Mimi for 10,000 episodes or whatever the case may be. You know, we got a budget for Jocelyn for $100,000 an episode. We got a budget for Mimi
for $10,000 an episode
or whatever the case may be.
Or, you know,
Carly Rae for $25,000.
I don't know.
Whatever.
I like how you said
$100,000 for you, though.
Yeah.
I like that.
Well, I charged $100,000
for an episode.
Wow.
That's fire.
So one episode
might take three days to shoot,
but that cost you $100,000 for me.
This is big money talk.
This is big talk.
And my price is going up.
Guess what, baby?
Guess what, baby?
All you got to do is call me.
I'm going to do your deal.
You know who do my deal?
You know who do my deal?
You have been telling me that
for a long time, though.
You know who does my deals?
Me.
That's what's up.
That's what's up.
So, um,
oh, damn.
Fuck.
I lost my train of thought. Don't do that. No, no, no, no. Damn, I'm going to remember before I do this again. Don't do that. No more drinking. Let's what's up. So, oh, damn. Fuck. I'm going to try to throw it.
Don't do that.
No, no, no, no.
Damn, I'm going to remember.
Don't do that.
No more drinking.
Let's take his drink away.
No, no, no, no.
We're good.
So, okay.
This is what I was going to say.
At that time,
I had never seen someone
go against Mona Scott.
I had never seen the one talk down.
Like, Mona,
I've been in violence since 1997. I had never seen the one talk down. Like, Mona, I've been violated
since 1997.
I was,
and this is
a real, real strong woman.
Haitian lady.
Haitian lady.
And you're the first person.
Don't nobody care
about that voodoo.
Don't nobody care
about that voodoo.
Don't nobody care
about that voodoo.
Listen, let me tell you something.
Guess what?
Guess what?
Ain't none of them.
Mrs. Princess.
Ain't none of them prayer people she got going on got shit on my prayer people.
She better know that.
And that's why I could stay.
I step out.
They the same people.
I step out.
Because my people good.
And that's why I was telling you about the universe.
I have to watch what I say out of my mouth.
Because I could send you a cut one real hard.
You might not weigh back up.
Right.
So, I have to. Oh, my out of my mouth because I could send you a cut one real hard. You might not weigh back up. Right. So I have to.
Oh, my God.
Calm down.
Calm down.
I'm making the point.
I had never seen nobody go against Mona.
Like, what happened?
Because it seemed like, you know,
Mona had a lot to do with you blowing up.
And at one point, it just felt like you was despised.
Was it you was despised with love and hip hop or you was despised with Mona?
Because I remember you calling her a devil or.
Mona's not a good person.
Oh, okay.
Meaning?
You know, okay, so.
I feel like in life to be successful And to really get What the universe
What the universe owes you
Because it's what you are
The universe
Is only going to give you
What you are
The universe
Is not going to ever
Give you what you're not
Never
You could
You could goddamn
Hang yourself
From that motherfucking thing
Up there
And commit suicide
It's still not going to
Give it to you
Because you're not that
You can pray 666
And do a star on the floor
and goddamn bitch, you belong to the devil.
That don't mean shit.
The universe not going to give you shit that you don't
own.
And so I feel like with her,
I just feel like
she's just like a jealous person.
Like, she don't really
never want to see nobody win. Because you got to remember,
Mona was not the best looking thing
Walking around
She was a puppet
Honey
Damn it
I wasn't ready
Always had that curly wig
Y'all can laugh
It's funny
Stop acting like
Y'all niggas is kids
Holy shit
So like
I just feel like
You know
And you know
I was so young
When I first started doing
Love and Hip Hop
So it's like
For me I always be like
Please Mona
Could you please help me
Like literally beg her
Lick her fucking
Big old nasty black ass
But I ain't really do it
I ain't really do it
Cause I like
I like black asses
But they gotta be clean
And I don't lick niggas asses
My husband not with that shit
Bitches asses
So literally I'm like
You know like
Help me out
Like help me like
You know help me with the stuff
Help me with the music
Help me with the
You think she did that
No
She did everything to sabotage me
And nothing to help me
But how about
How about being devil's advocate Let me just be devil's advocate You can do that I'mage me and nothing to help me. But how about being devil's advocate?
Let me just be devil's advocate.
You can do that.
I'm still telling you
the truth about the bitch.
But how about like
she did give you a platform
like this.
She didn't give me a platform.
She needed me to do
Love & Hip Hop.
I'm going to go back
to the story.
When I first met Stevie,
I had just met him a week
prior to going to
Love & Hip Hop.
Is that how you got
on Love & Hip Hop?
That's how I got on
Love & Hip Hop.
That's what I'm telling you guys.
So you feel like Stevie is more of the credit for that?
No, neither one of them,
because as cool as me and my fiance are with Stevie
and would respect him and would cool,
Stevie needed to bring me on Love & Hip Hop too,
because there was nobody on Love & Hip Hop
but Mimi, Carly, Stevie, a few people.
It was nothing going on.
Stevie had a whole other artist that was already on Love & Hip Hop, and he brought me to Marley, and she was like, go, a few people, like, it was nothing going on. Stevie had a whole other artist
that was already on Love & Hip Hop,
and he brought me the money,
and she was like, go get a green screen, look.
Yeah.
And I'm like, damn, what happened to your other artists?
The other artists never came on the show,
because she was like, man, we need her.
I went from making the first day $1,100.
You're saying there was other artists
that were signed under Stevie?
Stevie had another artist.
Oh, wow.
And it was like the other cast members on the show,
including Mimi and Carly
And all of the
All of the people
That was in
The first season of 2012
Love and Hip Hop right
Stevie took me to Mona
To meet her
Okay
Right
And I wasn't
I didn't know he was
Doing the show
The nigga never told me
He was doing the show
Who Stevie
No
He just brought me to Mona
And next thing I know
The next day
I'm doing green screen
I went from making $1100 one day To the next day Making $5 know The next day I'm doing green screen I went from making $1,100 one day
To the next day making $5,500
The week making $1,100
And then $20,000 the next month
What the fuck going on?
Yeah
Sounds good to me
Yeah, the shit was going on
But you immediately knew
That they needed you
From how the salaries was changing
Well, here's the thing
Because if you're not a main character
You wasn't a main character
In the beginning
Or was you?
She made me a main character
The first day I met her She made me a main character Because you wasn't a main character in the beginning, or was you? She made me a main character the first day I met her.
She made me a main character because he brought me, I had on all Versace.
Green, too.
Green like money.
Manolo Blahnik's on my feet.
Manolo Blahnik's.
I had them shits on when I was 23.
I had on all Versace, Versace purse.
I always had nice jewelry.
What year was that?
It's 2012.
And I was 23, 2012.
I think I had a Versace jacket
in 12.
You got to relax.
That's not what
the conversation's about.
We know Yoshi was with a P,
plus Sachi.
I cannot.
So basically,
she was like,
shit, you don't,
she made me a cast.
They did my makeup the next day. I had brought clothes because she was like, bring She made me a cast Like They did my makeup The next day
I had brought clothes
Cause she was like
Bring three outfits
And I'm just like
Damn what's gonna happen
You know but you know
I'm 23
I'm like shit
I just told this nigga
Last week
I need
Remember my homie
GB in
Honest
Remember I was like
Yo homie
The nigga that look like you
I was like yo
I need a motherfucking producer
I got this artist
Blah blah blah
Right
A week later The nigga's like Nah you need to work with me I got this artist Blah blah blah Right A week later
The next is like
Nah you need to work with me
I was like shit cool
Fuck the artist
I drive that bitch
But you gotta give Mona
A little credit
Because that was her
Giving you the green light
Here's the thing
It was many
It was many times after
That I tried to reach out to Mona
And to make peace
But she just never wanted peace
And I just feel like
She knew that I would do
exactly what I'm doing
becoming the biggest
Latin superstar
that there it is
I have a long way to go
but I've been working
since 2012
and I've proven myself
to everybody
I did everything
they say I would not do
that's right
and so
she know that she has
to face that
she has to face the fact
that I told her
I was going to
and bitch I would die doing it.
But what if, just me being a devil's advocate,
what if somewhere, because I know you, Cardi B,
so many different people.
Shout out to Cardi B.
Shout out to Cardi B.
So many different people that made it through Mona's platform.
Like, she's, I'm telling you.
Well, first of all, let me tell you something.
New York people stick together.
Yes.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I disagree.
No, no, no, no, I disagree too.
I disagree.
But let me explain what I'm trying to say is, like this is a success story.
You are a great success story.
Cardi B's a great success story.
And most of us...
Anybody...
You got...
Can you put some gravel on this?
Oh, maybe a gravel? Yeah. Anybody got gravel?
Nah, I don't got no gravel.
I'm not seeing.
Thank you.
Yeah, okay.
That's my son, by the way.
That's your son?
That's my son, by the way.
Yeah, I'm pulling out gravel.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Okay. Hi. But so many people, like, you know, that's a success story.
Like, when you see where you at in life, the reason why I'm saying this, I'm just trying
to be...
I know Mona's proud of you.
I know Mona brags about you.
I know she brags about Cardi B. I know she brags about these certain peoples because
some of us wouldn't have known how ill you are
without seeing this through love and hip-hop.
You know what I'm saying?
Some of us wouldn't know that.
I would love to sit down with her.
I would love to sit down with her,
but I just don't think that she want to sit down with me.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, you grown.
Let me tell you, that's the best thing about Ballistic,
that y'all together, is I could tell that when you got with him,
like, I don't want to say you calmed down,
but it was like, all right, cool.
You there.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you're thinking clear.
That's what it...
I'm an outsider looking in.
That's the inside looking out.
You know what I mean?
You're right.
And what I say about that is because I have spent so much time in my career, right?
Like, being mad at somebody
that I shouldn't be mad at. You know what I'm saying? Me personally. And I've always looked at
it and I say, you know what? Now that I'm older, I say, damn, I do appreciate that opportunity for
a person giving me that chance back then. Even though I feel like I made myself great. I'm going
to be honest. I feel like I made myself great. Like that going to be honest. You did. I feel like I made myself great. You did. Like that Snoop Dogg speech
when Snoop was like,
yeah, I want to thank me.
I feel like that a lot.
But the more that I've grown
and the more that I succeed,
I also say, you know what?
That little push that I got from him,
I needed that.
I need, like, you know what I mean?
It means better to me now
to be successful now.
The bitch know if she call me tonight,
I'm going to get on the phone.
That's hard.
That's what we want to hear.
That's what we want to hear.
My bad.
She don't even got
to go through too much.
I still got the same number
than what me and you talk on.
That's right.
I got that number.
I had that number since 2012.
You know what I'm saying?
So like,
she can always call me
and I'm going to always
fuck with the bitch.
You know what I'm saying?
At the end of the day,
she just had to understand that I wanted it so bad and I went after it.
And now be proud of me and tell everybody, hey, I had something to do with that.
And be proud of saying that.
Yes.
And I'm going to say she did.
Yeah.
I ain't going to hate on her.
Would you ever do love and hip hop some more?
Or are you past that?
Well, you know.
And we know about the bag and all that.
But would you ever? Meaning. Good know... And we know about the bag and all that, but would you ever...
Meaning...
Good one.
Meaning we know.
Another one?
Jay going to get some money.
What?
But would you do it?
I'm not going to say no to anything.
Okay.
Because where I'm at in life,
I feel like this was a great opportunity.
I apologize for being super late.
No, no, no.
But it was...
We're apprentices.
Well, no, it was last minute.
They texted me late last night.
You can vouch for me.
It was like 8 p.m.
I'm like, I'm going crazy.
I went to the mall last night
to get this dress at 8 p.m.
I woke up out of my sleep.
I missed yoga and everything.
I was like, shit,
I got to go get something to wear.
She just keeps hitting us
with rich shit.
After, after.
She's hitting us with rich shit.
Yoga.
Straight rich shit.
Can I tell you something?
The reason I owe my life to yoga
I would literally be
Like a drug addict right now
If it wasn't for yoga
I've been
Yoga you're saying
Yeah I've been doing yoga
For seven years
And it saved my life
My whole
My dad died of a heroin overdose
My family comes from
A lot of drugs
So just being able to
Have that in my life
It really changed my life
I would not be where
I'm standing without doing
A big crumb
High yoga
I wouldn't be here.
I would probably be dead. Big crumb to hot yoga? Yeah.
Oh, should the Indian do? You know, he was
touching a lot of y'all. He's a freak.
Yeah, he's a freak.
He's a freak.
He's a freak.
He's a freak.
He's a freak.
I see his documentary. He ain't right.
He Harvey Weinstein.
He ain't right. Thank you so. He Harvey Weinstein. He Harvey Weinstein
and we're plotting.
He ain't right.
Thank you so much.
We need to be stopped.
He was a super freak.
He was a super freak, right?
But I'm going to take
his freakiness away
from his job, right?
Because I'm going to always get...
Here's the thing.
So you still listen
to R. Kelly too?
I love R. Kelly music.
Good damn, Chesley.
If I'm in a car and somebody playing it, I will not tell them to. Good damn, Jocelyn. Yes. Good.
If I'm in a car
and somebody playing it,
I will not tell them
to turn it off.
So let's be clear.
We like R. Kelly
and we do Bikram yoga still.
But here's the thing.
Let me tell you something.
They are not canceled
in Jocelyn's world.
I'm not, listen,
I don't cancel,
I don't cancel
certain people for
what they've done
when it comes down
to their artistry.
When it comes down
to their artistry. I ain comes down to their artistry.
I ain't going to fuck with you.
I'm not going to vouch for you.
How about Bill Cosby?
Well, you know,
Bill Cosby is a little older
and I never really
got into his shows.
I never really
got into his shows,
but music,
I'm a musician,
so I love music.
So if I hear,
you know,
if I hear like an
I'm telling you song.
If it's the key to ignition
and the hop in the kitchen
How do I even know that song
And why did that just came out of
Like who gonna listen to Joe's baby
So you are not turning it off
And come on in your car
I'm not gonna tell someone
To turn it off
Like listen
Listen I am an advocate
Of being able to separate the two
I am a big advocate for that I am a big advocate for that.
I'm a big advocate for that.
Like, nigga,
you a freak,
you a rapist,
you be in jail,
but the shit you don't
did 50 years ago,
I'm going to listen
to that shit
and somebody
playing it in the car.
I mean,
what the fuck
am I supposed to do?
I don't have his music
on my,
I haven't bought his music
obviously in years,
but I ain't going to tell somebody to turn this shit off.
When I play that shit,
I'm going to be...
Especially if it's one of those ones, huh?
Exactly, because he got them, you know?
You know, being a genius
comes with a lot of responsibility.
Quick time slot?
The responsibility is that you have to,
the responsibility is that you have to
be able to, like,
kill your demons in your mind.
The demons that aren't good for you to let out.
So being a genius, it comes with a great responsibility.
So I just feel like it's unfortunate for him that as good looking as he was and talented and a genius that he was with the music,
it's unfortunate for him that he could never get help from dealing with those demons
to be a better person.
It's unfortunate
because we all have demons.
You know?
I ain't gonna lie.
Like, when, um,
like, um,
the tape had came out,
the first tape,
I never seen the nigga
just...
He was peeing all over.
Hell, you...
Y'all ain't need to piss it.
I be telling Melissa,
pee on me, bae.
What?
Oh, my God, we wasn't ready.
Y'all don't... Y'all don't like all the it. I be telling Ballista, pee on me, bae. What? Oh, my God. We wasn't ready. Y'all don't like golden showers?
No, I like water and soap.
So you never...
Wait, hold up.
Wash my...
Hold up.
So you never got a golden shower?
No, ain't nobody ever showered me golden.
Who are you people?
By the way...
We are normal people.
By the way,
Kelly's going to see this episode
and be like,
why am I in jail?
Well, you're in jail
because you had sex with kids.
That's right, that's right.
It wasn't golden showers.
My bad.
I forgot, I forgot.
We're talking about peeing,
but golden showers
is golden showers.
It's an enjoyable,
amazing, sexual thing,
especially if you do it.
I've golden showered plenty of pretty bitches.
So how does this work?
Are you supposed to taste it?
Just...
So you taste it.
Huh?
I've never got golden shower on, because I'm...
You the golden showerer.
Yeah.
You don't get golden showers.
Okay.
She said...
She wants us to do...
But she told me to try.
She just threw us into the river and told us to do something she ain't even doing.
But listen, never let me do it on him.
Okay.
Yeah, don't do that.
That's my man.
I don't want to look at him like that.
But listen, he's gay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's my man.
He's gay.
Okay.
Okay.
I wasn't ready.
But golden shower is a great thing.
Look, the thing about sexuality,
as long as you keep it clean
and you just have one partner,
it's awesome.
You can do whatever.
That's what's up.
I respect that.
I don't like it in the butt, though.
Okay.
Won't do the butt thing But I will
But I will let a girl
Stick her whole face
In my asshole
I'm talking about the whole face
If you're going to lick my asshole
It's got to be from top to bottom
A girl
And you got to put
And she got to put
Her whole face in it
Everything
Everything
So she probably has to have
A small nose
No she could have a big one
I don't discriminate
Okay
I got Listen I like them dark White Spanish Everything They got to be You know what I'm saying So she probably has to have a small nose. No, she could have a big one. I don't discriminate. Okay.
Listen, I like them dark, white, Spanish.
Everything.
They got to be, you know what I'm saying?
They got to meet certain standards.
Standards.
I mean, I have some.
I'm with you on that, too.
Because I, like, listen, on my new EP,
you will be able to hear how freaky I am.
I think I started, you know what?
I think that white, that's why I do it like it's your everyday Vegas and all those songs.
What's the standard, though?
I'm curious now.

I like big girls, too.
Gordo?

I don't mind the bigger girls, you know what I'm saying?
But the waist got to be a little bit smaller, right?
The waist, though.
A little bit smaller. It don't have to be, like, super smaller, but it definitely got to be a little bit smaller right the waist though a little bit smaller it don't have to be like super smaller but it definitely got to like be smaller than the butt the butt could be like this all right but the waist got to be about like this

thought at first then I seen I said oh that's what I'm Puerto understand. I was like, wait a minute. Because I thought at first, then I seen, I said, oh, that is.
First of all, I'm Puerto Rican.
I love pigs.
All right, that's what I was confused about.
And I'm y'all cool now because, you know, you guys are kind of.
Can I say, can I say something?
I don't know anything about her.
Oh.
I know nothing about her.
Okay, I don't know where this is going.
No, I'm just, I don't know anything about her.
I swear to God, I don't know anything about her. I thought y'all was both from Miami, both of y'all.
Well, I'm from Fort Lauderdale.
Okay.
I never hung out with her before.
We never talked on the phone.
We never did any of that.
But like I said, like, you know, I mean...
So how do you catch people
someone you don't know, essentially?
Well, you got to ask her,
because look at her and look at me.
Okay.
There's no connection.
Okay.
I just feel like when you don't have
no connection with anybody, it's like, bitch, what are just feel like when you don't have
no connection with anybody,
it's like, bitch,
what are you talking about?
I don't even know you like that.
But y'all both smart.
Y'all both entrepreneurs.
Oh, I'm not saying...
Y'all both doing...
You've done great stuff.
I like that.
Absolutely.
So that's why I'm saying,
why do you guys have beef?
And y'all should get it
if you do.
Yeah.
Because y'all both smart.
I swear I don't even know the lady.
I promise y'all,
I do not know this lady
I've never met this lady
In my life like that
I swear to God
Never

Listen
Congratulations to all the ladies
Getting money
Including her
That's what I'm saying
I would never
I would never come up here
And listen
I like when bitches get paid
You know what I'm saying

Me too
I just really don't know
Know her like that.
I got to be real.
Couldn't tell you
nothing about the bitch.
But we hope
the best for y'all.
We hope the best for y'all.
Everything is fixable
but what's not fixable
is hate.
No.
So you can't fix hate.
Okay.
I agree with you on that.
And one thing
I seen you say earlier,
you bigged up Cardi B.
I liked that.
I liked that because
you know,
me being,
I'm half Puerto Rican,
half black.
You know what I mean?
That's so hard to be.
I'm full Puerto Rican.
Yeah.
And it's so hard to be.
After you tell me about Cardi B,
I'll tell you why.
No, but I was so happy
to hear you big up Cardi B
just now
because one,
I don't want females
to fight you in period,
but as two Latinas
and two Latinas
who took, who kind of had the same
road and both successful i love to see y'all getting along like that that so when you said
big up cardi b just now and i could i could hear the sincerity in your voice but at one point was
y'all beefing was there something that was wrong i think i think the situation with loving hip-hop
and the people in the audience just made it bigger than what it was.
But I really love Cardi B because she's Dominican.
I love Dominicans.
People always think I'm Dominican.
My family is Dominican.
People always think I'm Dominican too.
Yeah, I have a half Dominican family.
And one thing I respect about Cardi B is that she is the, she is, when you say.
The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news
show up in our lives in small ways.
Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding.
But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one. The demand curve in action. And that's just one of the things we'll be

Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at
what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives.

and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms,
even the signal chats that make our economy tick.

I know a lot of cops, and they get asked all the time,
have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes.
But there's a company dedicated to a future
where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that taser told them.

Somebody that built her life to be great, she's that.
She got a husband.
She has her children.
She has her career.
I always tell people, maybe not in the media because I don't really do a lot of interviews,
but people that know me from my hair, my makeup, and everybody, I be like, Cardi B is a bad bitch.
Cardi B not only came and did her music She got a husband
She got her kids
She got a home
She built her life
Yes
That's bigger than
Anything
She not only just built her career
She has built her life
Yeah
And so for me it's like
And then you know
She tweeted one day
Do it like it's my birthday
Do it like it's my birthday
It's stuck in my left
In my left brain
Somebody please stick a knife in it
I was like oh my gosh
That's great because it's like
So dope I see her and she sees me I it I was like oh my gosh That's great because it's like So dope
I see her and she sees me
I think she's great
Yeah I think she's great too
That makes a noise for Cardi B
And you know what
The thing I love
The thing I love the most
The thing I love the most about Cardi
Is how she was able to
Build her personal life
With her husband
Her kids
And then the music
That's what really drew me to her.
I'm like, whoa, that's a bad bitch.
And you can do it all at the same time.
And you know what else?
You know, because a lot of us,
when people get rich,
we forget, you know,
that we have feelings.
And you know what I noticed?
A lot of people didn't even say,
like, rest in peace to...
Take off?
Bob, take off.
It's Cardi B. Everyone should be saying cardi beach everyone should be saying yes rest in peace
like uh to to quavo and to um offset as well because they have no regards because i just be
seeing it like and i see they're hurting things and people don't really even say people don't
really even say rest in peace and i want to say that to all of them because they was all a family at once, regardless if there is or isn't no more.
But I want to say that because I felt like, you know, on behalf of a drink chance, I would like to tell, you know.
I thought he had some.
Oh, half grab.
What do you mean half?
Half grab.
Oh, OK.
Meaning it's not football.
Nobody got gravel leaving him?
Hold on.
Let me make this point real quick.
But to Quervo and to Offset and to Cardi B,
all I would like to say rest in peace.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I understand how hard it is to lose somebody famous
like when Pun passed away.
And I remember a lot of people just not really caring
because they're like,
ah, cool, Nori, you're up, you're platinum.
Why would you care?
And Pun was my closest friend.
I hung out with Pun every single day.
I'm talking about no exaggeration.
Out of 30 days out of the month,
I would be with Pun like 12 to 15.
Like for real.
That's hard.
For real.
How did you get over
the hurt?
I never got over the hurt.
I never got over the hurt.
I never...
How do you want...
Because I've never lost...
I've never lost...
When I lost my father,
I was 13 years old
and my mom came
and told me and my brother
because my mama got
five baby daddy.
She's a ho-ho.
She told me...
Wait a minute. She told me... Wait a minute.
She told me and my brother in the kitchen at 13,
your daddy died.
I'm looking at this bitch like,
this bitch is really psychotic.
That is not a way to break the news down.
So like now, right, as I'm older,
I'm more in tune, you know, with who I am
and the universe and prayers and stuff like that.
So I light a candle, a white candle for him
and I put his picture
when I feel him too much
I turn it off
and I'm like
you gotta go
you gotta go
you gotta go dad
you gotta go
so it's like
well he's dead
now
your mom
with your mom
cause
listen
if my mom
if my mom need anything
I'm always going to be there
to support her
but sometimes
your family
be your biggest
hell back
I agree with you on that
and I hate to say it cause somebody go get me some fucking gravel leaf but let me tell you about my father But sometimes your family be your biggest hellbent. I agree with you on that.
And I hate to say it, can somebody go get me some fucking gravel leaf?
But let me tell you about my father.
Can you see if I could get some gravel leaf?
A real one?
A real one.
My father's death, I was platinum.
I was platinum and I went on tour.
I say that to say this.
You went on tour?
No, I was on tour.
I was platinum.
And I was in the middle of my father's death.
It was July 3rd, 1998.
And the crazy thing was Chris Lighty and Mona Scott had to come to see me and say,
yo, you could either stop this tour.
That was nice.
Or you can continue because your pops want you to.
And this was the first time.
And I had to do it.
So like I said,
I was famous losing my father
and had to come outside every day
with a smile on.
Because if you have a bad day being famous,
that's why I can't come outside.
Still got to do your job.
I still got to do my job.
I can't go to McDonald's and be like,
yo, I had a bad day today.
Someone is there going to be like,
and I'm going to ruin their day
for not taking a picture with them.
They're like, you shouldn't have a bad day.
You know, nigga, nigga.
Yeah.
I'm sorry to change the subject.
I swear to God, one time,
I swear, I was in Pathmark,
three o'clock in the morning.
What is that?
It's a grocery store in New Jersey.
And I was there at three o'clock in the morning.
I don't want to say in New Jersey
because I don't know if Lauren still lives there.
But I seen Lauren sneaking into a path mark
At 3 o'clock in the morning
Which Lauren?
Lauren
Lauren Hill
Lauren Hill, yes
Oh, okay
I guess that's the time she could
I mean, I thought everyone knew who Lauren was
I said Lauren
So I saw her sneaking in
And I started to realize
I said, oh, this is how some stars do it
They don't go
They go at 3 o'clock in the morning and go food shopping.
So I'm going there, I kid you not.
I had a pimple like the size of this drink.
For being stressed?
No, I just had, I don't know what happened.
I just had like a pimple in the middle of my fucking pimple.
Did she bust it for you?
No, no, no, I was horrible.
So when I walked in, it was a fan.
As soon as I walk in, and this was the time where.
The flashing. No, the actual was the time where the flashing.
No, the actual, the plastic cameras.
The disposable shit.
So the fan just come straight up to me and was like,
bang, yo,
can I get a picture? This was before Instagram.
And I'm like with the pimple right here.
Like it's this. He don't care.
It's this second from getting bust.
And pus gonna be everywhere.
He don't care. And I was just like, yo.
He wanted a picture with a legend.
Did you take a photo by no people?
No, I did not.
I regretted the shit out of that.
But I also was like, yo, bro,
I need one time.
It's me.
I need one time. So I was like, nah, I didn't.
And then recently, I was in the Bahamas
and this lady just came up to me and she was like, can I take a picture? So I was like, nah, I didn't. And then recently, I was in the Bahamas,
and this lady just came up to me,
and she was like, can I take a picture?
And I was like, okay, why?
You just see me take pictures with everyone else.
And what'd she say?
She didn't know who I was.
So I was like, no.
Yeah, she don't got to know who you are to want to take a picture with a star.
I was like, no.
I was like, yo, I said, what do I do?
And she couldn't say.
All she seen was other people taking pictures of me.
And then she wanted to get in the line.
And I said, no.
This is reserved for my fans.
Yeah.
For people who fuck with me.
That makes sense.
I agree with you.
I'm sorry.
I went too far?
Oh, fuck her.
Fuck her.
Fuck her.
Bitch, go through your heart.
Okay, now this is a part of the game.

That's it.
As soon as they see me, Puerto Rican princess, what you doing here?
It's my hood.
Fuck you, man.
Pitbull or Flo Rida?
Pitbull.
BH1 or Zeus?
Zeus.
Radio or podcast? Zeus. Radio or podcast?
Podcast.
Loyalty or respect?
Loyalty.
Why?
Because sometimes you ain't going to respect me
because I'm going to talk that shit,
but you're going to give me your loyalty.
God damn it.
That was ill.
That was ill.
You love it.
So what do you like more?
Making music or making television?
Making music.
Making music?
I know.
You know.
Since you was five.
Since I was five.
I've been trying to run away from it.
It's very difficult.
I've ran from this thing for such a long time.
And it just bit me in my ass.
Right.
You know?
Because, you know, my thing is, like, it was always so...
Is that based on financial?
No, no, no, no.
I'm not speaking money.
I'm speaking, like, hurt.
Okay.
You know?
Like, meaning through music?
Yeah, because, you know, a lot of people could be like, tell you how bad you are when you truly know you're not.
And so it could get hurtful.
So... But why...
I don't like talking about that stuff.
But why listen...
Like, you know what's crazy?
I have a friend
that sometimes he wakes up
and he goes and kind of Googles himself
for the bad shit that he hears
about him own self.
And I'm looking like,
yo, why can't you do the same exact thing for the good?
Like, he wakes up and he wants to be in a negative, bad zone.
So he'll Google bad shit about him to look at it.
And I'm like, why not do the same exact thing?
Maybe that's just the way that he copes.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You can't tell people how to cope. You know, I think that trying to show people your talent
could get really,
it could get really dreadful.
You know, it's almost like maybe you don't even want to be here sometimes.
It's like you're trying so hard to give people
what you know they need.
And it's almost like they dismiss you.
And that can get really hurtful.
You know, it was,
it was,
it was plenty of times
I was going to give up,
but you know what?
I didn't,
because I was like,
I'm not going to give up on myself.
Amen.
That's right.
Like,
I could give up on anything,
but I'm not going to give up on myself.
And so,
you know,
when I was five,
I had heroin needles on my foot,
running in Puerto Rico,
in Carolina,
to my mom's house. Like, I got a needle on my foot, because you know, we all run outside with our shoes. Heroin was big in Puerto Rico in Carolina to my mom's house like I got a needle on
my foot cuz you know we all run outside with our shoes. Heron was big in Puerto Rico back then.
Yeah my dad died of a heroin overdose and I was I'm an 80s baby and so you
know being in Puerto Rico like I'm just really blessed not to be a drug addict
this is all I ever been around my whole you know teenage years I've been around
a lot of drug addicts and in Puerto Rico just seeing that.
I literally go downstairs and I see somebody hitting the pipe or somebody hitting the needle.
Literally.
And it's like you still got to go to school in the morning if you see somebody hitting the pipe.
What that mean?
You just got to go to school smelling like crack.
And so for me, it was just like,
I've seen it so much.
It's just like, you know,
it's like, that's why, you know,
listen, being an artist,
it literally has been biting me in my ass
since I was five.
But it was just a difficult situation.
And I just didn't,
I felt like I'm already dealing with
not having a father,
having a mother that's not
that good at raising her children.
My mom has six kids,
five baby daddies.
I told y'all she was a ho-ho.
She's young, man.
Yeah, but my thing is
as a human being
when you go to a certain age,
but for my mother,
I'm not mad at my mother
because my mother went through a lot.
You know, her father, my mother's father is a white man with green eyes.
Her mom is a black, like, this lady.
So, she came from two different words, right?
Trauma, trauma.
Two different traumas.
So, it's like, I'm never upset at her, but, like, when you get a little older, you have to know what's going on.
And so, for me, I've always just felt like I'm already trying to
figure out how to live
a life without parents.
And now I'm trying to have a life
for the world?
That's very difficult.
It's very
difficult. But you doing it. You got this.
You got this.
You are doing it.
You are doing it.
Just think about it.
That's why I don't like doing interviews,
because I like to get real, real.
Yeah.
I like to get real.
And I don't feel like some people deserve my realness.
Because some people might not believe what I'm saying.
No, we definitely believe you.
Look at that.
I still remember growing up in Puerto Rico like it happened yesterday.
Of course.
Like it happened yesterday. Yeah, of course. And so I remember not having shit. I like it happened yesterday. Of course. Like it happened yesterday.
Of course.
And so I remember not having shit.
I remember my mom not teaching me nothing.
I literally had to teach myself how to wash my own body.
But maybe she didn't know.
That's the key.
But this is not about her.
This is about me.
I got it.
I'm not talking about her.
I'm talking about me.
That's real.
It's very difficult coming from where I came from to be where I'm at now.
I had to fight
a lot of demons
to be here right now.
A lot.
I had to fight
a lot of people.
And in case you don't know,
you won.
A lot of people.
You did win.
You won.
A lot of people.
Let me come on
some more champagne, please.
And not only that.
Yes, we come on.
And not only that,
I'm still fighting every day.
And I'm going to tell you
right now.
It's not regular people.
I go through the same shit regular people go through.
Yep.
Even war shit.
I'm with you.
I see it all.
I'm a good mother.
I take care of my daughter.
I know that.
If it wasn't for Ballistic and my daughter and yoga, I would probably be dead somewhere.
I would have probably took my own life.
That's why I believe probably be dead somewhere. I would have probably took my own life. That's why I believe
people always look at me
like this is just what it is.
This is not just what it is.
I have a heart.
I have a brain.
I have feelings.
I have emotions.
I have the things
that regular humans have.
And people don't really consider
people like me
like I'm not going through nothing
I'm going through a lot
I'm going through more shit
That you're going through
I have to
I have to
I have to try to be
The best I could be
For an audience
That might not want
What I'm giving them
For years I got
Denied
My stuff
I know I was good
I'm better now
And I'm going to get better
Right
But how many years
Did I get denied
How many years
How many ladies came
After me or around me
that dropped their career
because it took so long?
How many?
I'm proud of me.
Yeah.
I'm proud of me for it.
We proud of you.
We proud of you.
Yeah.
And what I was trying
to say to you is...
I hate to get emotional
because there's a bunch
of boys here
and you guys don't get it.
No, we do get it.
But what I was trying
to say to you is, this is what I was trying to say to you.
And I understand, you know, the adversity and everything.
But for you to get better, you have to start to forgive.
And then the people that deserve it the most on your forgiveness scale
would probably start with the person that deserve it the most on your forgiveness scale would probably start with
the person that gave you life.
Like what he was saying with Mona Scott.
I love my mama.
The opportunity.
People that gave you the opportunity.
I love my mom.
I love Mona.
I love all of them,
but at the same time...
You got to forgive them
because they didn't have no rule book
to how to go about it.
They're forgotten.
They're not perfect.
I forgive them and I love them,
but to respect me and to love me is to do what? It's to focus on me. They're forgotten. They're not perfect. I forgive them and I love them, but to respect me and to love me
is to do what?
It's to focus on me.
They're going to be there.
If they want to be in my life,
their doors are open.
Right.
But I still have to focus on me
because I'm still the same little...
Sometimes you got to be the bigger person.
But I'm still the same little...
You got to be the bigger person.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
Can I tell you something, love?
I'm still the same little girl
that came from Puerto Rico.
I'm still that girl.
The tears is that.
No, not the tears.
My mind, my body, everything.
I'm still that person.
That's not going to ever leave me.
You need to understand that.
And they also need to understand that, too.
I got to respect myself, too.
Yep.
You can't.
It's not, this is not about anyone but me.
Yeah.
I don't care about anybody else. I can't It's not This is not about anyone But me Yeah I don't care about anybody else
I can't
If I do
I'll die
I can't care about anybody else
I'm not going to do that
I'm not about to start doing that
They need to care about me
It's enough
I've cared about people
My whole life
Now it's my turn
For people to care about me
I deserve that
Yeah
I deserve that
That's where I'm agreeing.
Yes, I'm agreeing with you.
I'm agreeing with you.
And I'm going to take a shot
because we're going to get back happy in this motherfucker.

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.
Recipients have done the improbable, showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves.
This medal is for the men who went down that day. It's for the families of
those who didn't make it. I'm J.R. Martinez. I'm a U.S. Army veteran myself, and I'm honored to
tell you the stories of these heroes on the new season of Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage from
Pushkin Industries and iHeart Podcast. From Robert Blake, the first black sailor to be awarded the medal,
to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice.
These are stories about people who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor,
going above and beyond the call of duty. You'll hear about what they did, what it meant,
and what their stories tell us about the nature of courage and sacrifice.
Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways.
Three or four days a week, I would buy two
cups of banana pudding, but the price has gone up. So now I only buy one. The demand curve in action.
And that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg
Businessweek. I'm Max Chavkin. And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith. Every Friday, we will be diving
into the biggest stories in business, taking a look at
what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives. But guests like Business
Week editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams, and consumer spending expert Amanda
Mull will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms, even the signal chats that make our
economy tick. Hey, I want to learn about VeChain. I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing. So listen to everybody's business on the iHeart
Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The American West with Dan Flores
is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network, hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores, and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of
the lesser-known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as
Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best-selling author and meat-eater founder
Stephen Ranella. I'll correct my kids now and then. They author and meat eater founder Stephen Ranella.
I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here.
And I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.
So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th, where we'll delve into stories of the West
and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.
Listen to The American West with Dan Flores

I feel like this is like one of the greatest things
that I could do as an artist
is to come and sit down with you guys.
God damn it.
Did you hear what I said?
I got to take a shot to this. Come on. I got to guys. God damn it. I got to take a shot to this.
Come on.
I got to take a shot to this.
I got to take a shot to this.
Okay.
All right.
You know, loyalty and respect is always there.
But I just figured one out based on what you said.
The View or Drink Champs?
Oh, no, no.
Leave it at all.
Drink Champs.
That's right.
But that's a good...
You co-hosted The View. Ain't nobody... Yes, you did. How was that? You co-hosted you
Ain't nobody
No I co-hosted the real
Oh okay okay
The real
So
First of all the girls
The girls was like
They didn't know
What the fuck was happening
So I was
I was out there
Talking about shit
And they was all
Looking at me
It was really
They actually sent me a contract
They sent you a contract
Yes
Because I mean
They sent me a contract To They sent you a contract? Yes. Because, I mean, I swear.
They sent me a contract to become one of the cast.
Period.
Wow.
Yeah, because at that time, that's when Tamar has left to do bigger things.
Okay.
That's when they sent me a contract.
But I chose not to do it because I just always felt like I was so young to sit out there and just be talking.
I need to shake this pussy.
I was like, uh- pussy. I was like,
uh-uh.
I was like,
I'm not doing that.
The music.
You got a big,
bright future.
Let me tell you.
Thank you.
I'm like,
I'm not finna sit down here.
So they was like,
okay,
we love you.
I'm like,
listen,
thank you.
Thank you.
But I am not about to like,
spend my early 30s,
my late 20s,
here sitting down
talking to y'all.
I'm about to go shake my ass,
go on tour, have a cabaret. I'm on my thirdall. I'm about to go shake my ass, go on tour,
have a cabaret.
I'm on my third season.
I'm about to go
on the fourth season.
I just did College Hill,
come out in this month.
I'm going back on tour.
I'm with Drink Champs.
Like, what the fuck?
Like, it don't get no better
than this,
but that's where
you get my tears from
because with much success
comes much responsibility.
So, if I'm not crying to my friends,
who am I crying to?
That's right.
So, let me ask you though,
is that something that you will ever...
Huh?
The lighter?
Lighter? Oh, my bad.
Is that something you will ever get in?
Because I see you like
as a late night talk host.
Definitely your own show.
Your own show.
Is that something?
That's a lot of responsibilities.
Yes.
Yeah and no.
Because with technology nowadays,
you can shoot four episodes in one day.
And no one really knows.
That is very stationary.
And I like to be free like a bird.
I do not like any control.
I like to have my own creative control. I like to be free like a bird. I do not like any control. I like to have my own creative control.
I like to be free.
I cannot work for the men.
I got to go.
I got shit to do.
I got to be in Dubai, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos.
Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, Idaho.
Idaho.
Idaho.
You ever been to Haiti?
Idaho!
I haven't been to Haiti, but I would love to go, and I am going because I love Haitian people.
Haitian people, I like Puerto Rican people, Dominican people.
They used to always think I was Haitian growing up.
I can tell.
Yeah, they always thought I was Haitian.
So my fiance's best friend, he's a Haitian.
My hairdresser's a Haitian.
So I have a lot of Haitian people around me.
But I grew up with all Haitians in Rolando, though, because everybody that I went to school with was Haitian.
Wow.
Just saying, man.
We're there.
We're outside.
You got to relax.
You got to relax.
You got to relax.
I'm mad I never learned how to speak Creole, because I'm like, damn, all my Haitian friends, they speak Spanish, but I never learned how to speak Creole.
So I just always thought that was tough.
Yeah, we speak every language.
Yeah.
We speak all of them.
I literally told,
I literally told my fucking
hairdresser that the other day,
I'm like,
fucking Haitians speak
every fucking language.
I'm like,
the Puerto Ricans,
we only speak,
the Spanish people
only speak two languages.
I'm like,
Haitians speak every language.
We created language.
I'm like,
so you get,
you,
what do you give him?
He's going to take a mile.
I know he's talking shit,
but them Haitians do be speaking a lot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I ain't going to lie.
The first place we checked in,
we checked in the Turks and Caicos,
and the dude was Haitian.
He knew every goddamn language.
Are you going tomorrow?
I was.
I am not anymore.
Because my wife...
Let me get you at home.
I'll go tomorrow.
My wife has a dinner because...
You got to come to my wife's juice bar.
My wife has a dinner.
She has a juice bar.
Yeah, and she recently did a collab with Nike.
With what?
With Nike, yeah.
Not even because she's my wife.
She did a collab with Nike because they like her juice bar.
And she had a two-day event, so they were celebrating her on Saturday.
Oh, I didn't even go.
I didn't even go, yeah.
I didn't even go.
I was out of town.
Yeah, but Saturday, yeah, Saturday, yeah, yeah.
I'll be here.
Yeah, so let me say congrats to my wife.
I got to say that.
Yes!
Man, we knew it.
So let me ask you, because one of the things that was a major
part of loving hip hop was when you and Stevie had like somewhat beef, he would always throw
the management contract at your face and he'll be like, oh, well you, you can't come out or you
can't perform or you can't do that. What was the difference between you being with Stevie and
having under that contract and you now being
with your fiance, but
you still under contract?
What is the difference?
You know, I truly
respect Stevie. We're friends.
We're friends. Yeah, now.
We're friends. He...
He's really
pretty... He's a cool person.
I think that ladies grow faster than men grow
That's correct
No, no, you are correct
I know that for a fact
Yeah
I know that for a fact
Women are way more mature than men
Not all men, I'm just saying
Well, not all of them
But you know what I mean, like most
So, like
When I think about it now
It's like funny to me
Because it's like
We share the same blood.
Right.
Yeah.
Beautiful, beautiful.
Thank you.
Yeah.
We share the same blood.
So when I really think about it now, it's funny because I know he ain't mean that.
And I know he's very proud of me because he always be like, man, I'm proud of you.
I hear your music.
That's dope.
He always tells me that.
That's dope.
Always tell me that.
He's like, I'm proud of you.
That's dope.
I hear your music.
He talks to Ballistic. They talk to each other on me that. He's like, I'm proud of you. That's dope. I hear your music. He talks to Ballistic.
They talk to each other on the phone
whenever they,
whatever is happening or whatever.
Right.
They communicate.
So it's like,
he's like,
now he's like a brother to me.
Right.
Like, I want him,
I want him to win.
I expect him to win.
Aw, one, two, three.
And he wants to speak for you.
Aw.
Okay.
Okay, that's dope.
I want him to do,
I want him to do great
So it's like
When I think about it
I think it's hilarious
But I think we were both young
Because even though
He was older than me
He's a man
So you guys mature
A little bit slower than we do
No it's true
So it's like
I'm a man I can say it
On TV
Being young
He had made billions of dollars
I'm starting in the game
He feels like he gave me
An opportunity
And it's like
Yeah and we were like that.
But I promise you, he is one of my closest friends.
He has to be.
We share blood with the baby.
My husband, but listen, my fiance has been raising Bonnie since she was two.
But Stevie, through his hardest and his best to be there,
when she tells him, man, I want to see you, he'll fly in time.
He really tries to be in her life
as much as he can
and I have to say that
because it's true.
So let me ask you because...
And he feels...
He loves his daughter.
He wants to see her happy
and he wants to see her
and spend time with her
and he does that
with all his children
as much as he can,
as much as you pressure them.
You know, Bonnie's like,
where the hell you at?
You know?
Let me ask you because
when we Googled you online, it said that you had at one point lost custody.
Was that true?
It was true.
It was true?
It was true.
He was being super petty back in those days.
And he felt like I wasn't trying to let him see Bonnie.
But I wanted to go shoot the boot camp with Ballistic.
And I left Bonnie with her grandmother.
And so when he called me, I'm like, listen, I'm at work. Bonnie is with theistic. And I left Bonnie with her grandmother. And so when he called me,
I'm like, listen,
I'm at work.
Bonnie is with the grandma.
You know, he's like,
he did a move on me.
He was like, man,
you ain't going, you know,
it was one of those things
where I really couldn't
even answer the phone.
Wow.
You were like, he's, you know,
he's trying to get his daughter.
He wanted to spend time.
I got a new man.
He's probably like,
damn, she ain't going
to never listen to me.
But he wanted to like that.
So he felt like he needed to go and get custody of Bonnie. He's probably like, damn, she ain't going to never let me see my wife. But he wanted to light that. So he felt like he needed to go
and get custody of Bonnie.
He had me really hot.
But then when we went to court,
he missed court
and I got her back.
Got her right back.
Because he missed court
because he don't...
No, he missed court because...
He missed me too.
No, he missed court
because he didn't give a fuck
to me in court
because he don't care.
He was just trying to make sure that,
oh my gosh,

But now I got custody,

He gets her all the time.
He's in Miami all the time now,

So it's like,

at the end of the day,
I'm very lucky to have my husband
take care of my daughter every day,
and I'm very lucky to have her dad Stevie be in her life and come and
see her and they can all communicate and hang out and it's all love how long did it take to get to
that place it's been a while I mean it's been a while a long time yeah it's been a while listen
and you say I actually I actually he just got a divorce from his wife right he calls me
I didn't even know he got married what do I'm like, what do you mean, where's Ballistic?
He was married to who?
To Faith.
Oh, yeah.
So he calls my phone, and look, I mean,
He divorced her already?
I'm in the car with Bonnie, and he's like, where's Ballistic?
Stevie outside, Stevie outside.
I'm like, Ballistic is, I don't know where Ballistic is at,
but I'm with Bonnie, you all right?
I need to talk to Ballistic.
I just got a divorce.
And I was like, well, let me call him and see where he at.
So, like, he wanted to.
It took like 10 years.
He got divorced in one day.
From the initial paperwork.
I don't mean his business like that, but when I know he called and he was like, I want to talk.
I want to celebrate with my bro, Ballistic.
I'm like, Ballistic is not in the car with me and Molly.
And chill, because me and Molly in the car. She's like, Spook, what do you mean you Ballistic. I'm like, Ballistic is not in the car with me and Miley. And chill, because me and Miley in the car.
She's like, Spook, what do you mean you got a divorce?

So it's like, we're that cool where we talk like that.
And it's been years.
I mean, I really think he's a great person,
and I wish him the best from the bottom of my heart.
I think that's just it.
From the bottom of my heart.
But that's what I'm saying about you.
To me, that's the growth in you.
You know what I mean?
Like me hearing you speak about certain people that was in your life like that, that's the growth in you you know what i mean like like like me hearing
you speak about certain people that was in your life like that that that's that is the growth to
me you know what i mean that's definitely the girl for me because niggas be played
but no i tell you something i sent him all my great energy and i hope he gets back on top the
same way he was when he made his millions of dollars and i believe in him and i hope he gets back on top the same way he was when he made his millions of dollars
and I believe in him
and I know he gonna be alright.
Yeah.
Do you think that
overall,
was loving hip-hop good for you?
It was the best thing that happened in my life.
Thank you.
I started having Bonnie Bella.
That's what you were saying.
Actually. Mona Scott. You started having Bonnie Bella. Right. That's what you were saying. Actually.
Mona Scott.
You used the word,
you know,
loving hip hop
and Mona Scott
is kind of like the same word.
But it's not.
But it's not.
But it's not.
No, it's not.
I'm not going to get into it.
I get that part.
Because one is an entity
and one is a person
that is part of the entity.
It's two entities, basically.
Pretty much.
Because she's an entity herself.
She's done a lot.
Right.
But, if it wasn't for Love and Hip Hop,
I wouldn't be here.
Actually, Bonnie was born on a special
that I executive produced my first time
when I had Bonnie.
I executive produced my first delivery special.
That's how I became about being an owner
and being an executive producer and a creator
because when Bonnie was born on VH1,
she was born on TV.
I had her in a water birth.
Wow.
And that was my first time ever producing a show when I had her.
I didn't know you produced it. I know that show exists.
I didn't know that.
If I would have known better then, I would have owned it too, but
I just executive produced, but now I own everything.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. So how does this happen?
You said, I want to
executive produce this? No, I didn't ask them. I told them.
Okay.
One thing you're going to learn about me, I don't ask for nothing.
I tell what I want.
So you went to the... When I speak to my universe The way I am with people
The love I give
The energy that I give out
The words that come out of my mouth
The sexiness
I literally worked my whole life
To be the most desirable woman in the world
When I speak to my universe
My universe owes me what I ask for
I like it
I give you what I give you
You're going to give me what you need to give me.
If not, I'm going to be a nasty bitch
and you don't want me to be nasty, bitch. I'll burn you the
whole fucking down. Universe, no more universe.
You fuck with me. Don't burn some shit.
Everybody down.
Everybody dead. So when that
bitch, that bitch, that bitch know,
don't fuck with me.
Because I could just be just as destructive.
But I'm not going to do that. Because I don't like that. I don't like that me because I could just be just as destructive but I'm not going to do that
because I don't like that
I don't like that
I like love
I don't like destruction
I could get there
I could get there
that bitch know not to fuck with me
so respectfully
I ask for what I want every morning
and I receive
let me ask you
because this is my friend
he just walked in
his name is Eddie the ass eater
there it is
but remember her if she's going there it's only going to be women Eddie the ass eater. There it is. That's it.
But remember,
her,
if she's going there,
it's only going to be women.
Listen.
No, no, no.
I want to ask. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I'm married.
No, but what I want to ask is,
when you hear somebody,
hold on,
when you hear somebody
named Eddie the ass eater,
as a woman that wasn't,
if he wasn't married,
he wasn't getting,
what,
is that attractive or should we change his name?
Because he's clearly an ass eater.
I think it fits him.
Yeah.
No love in your face.
It's all over.
It's official.
Yeah.
Your name will never change.
It fits him.
If he was a woman. I ain't another woman. He fits him. If he was a woman, would he fit the Johnson to meet your...
He thought, listen, he looks like a man only.
He's giving all man.
But if he was a girl...
And he got the Goonie shirt on.
Between the cheeks.
But he's not a man.
He's not a woman. He's not a woman.
He's a whole man.
That's a man right there.
That's a real man right there.
You can't see him as a woman at all.
No.
All right.
No.
Okay, I got it.
I'm just trying to see if his face can get in between the cheek.
Nah, he's a real...
If he's a woman.
That's a whole man right there.
No, no.
So when we said, yo, we book at Johnson, the whole group was like, jeez, what the shit?
We live. We live. Listen, I... That's like, jeez, what the shit? We lit.
That's why she wins.

Let's be real from the heart.
And that's how
you're going to always win.
And I just feel like
you guys always take it
back to realness,
but it's a lot of people
that come here

as a person, you know,
you had a very public relationship that, you know,
ended in public.
Was it hard for you to jump into another relationship

You keep saying that.
We're going to hold you up to it.
We're going to hold you up to it, y'all.

Make sure she knows, okay?
What was the question I just asked?
I was so into that.
What was that?
I don't remember either.
Damn, all y'all high motherfuckers.
No, no, no, no.
I said, so how, was it hard from jumping from, you know,
like you and Stevie J was really, really, really, really public, right?
And then, you know, everyone knows it didn't work out.
But then was it hard to trust somebody else?
No, because I, okay, so when I was pregnant with Bonnie Bella,
I didn't have any sex with Stevie because we were separated.
And I was without a man for three years.
Basically, the whole time I was pregnant a man for three years. Basically,
the whole time I was pregnant.
And then two years.
But at least it came into my life
when Bonnie was two.
And so,
I was like free.
I was waiting for the right guy.
And then I played my cards right
and he was it.
He still got to work for it
every mother...
Hey, look.
He got...
Congratulations, my brother.
He got papers on this ass
But he not finna get this pussy

The fact that you're Puerto Rican,
you have to keep drinking.
Can I say something?

Okay, let's talk about that.
Let's talk about...
What is the misconception?
Because I...
Okay.
Listen,

I even had dinner
with her at a vegan spot.
I know we both
wasn't vegan. We had dinner a lot of a vegan spot. I know we both wasn't vegan.
We had dinner
a lot of times.
Remember the vegan spot

You know all the ladies
Because I think people
Be thinking
You can't even say hi to her,
she's going to slap you in the face.
Oh, no, honey.
Why would I do that?
I'm just saying.
I don't think people think...
But they do, though.
They do, because my makeup and my hair...
Definitely my makeup, Candy,

Everybody always asks me how you are
and this and that.
And she's like,
she's so fucking cool.
She's like the sweetest person.
Super cool.
She's the sweetest person ever.
But can I tell you something?
How I knew I was the one?
During COVID,
I wrote this song called Campesino.
Who know what Campesino means?
Okay, I'm a campesina.
I'm a campesina, right?
So I wrote this song, Campesina.
What does it mean?
What does Campesina mean? Country.
Country.
Yeah, but it's different. It's different in Spanish. So during COVID, I don't know. What does country mean? Country. Country. Country.
Yeah, but it's different.
It's different in Spanish.
So, doing COVID-
.
Exactly.
And I have-
I don't trust his English.
So, look, this is-
It's not in English.
This is very important.
I want y'all to hear-
I got a spraise of greed.
I got a spraise of greed.
What?
Spraise of greed, yes.
I like it when-
I want y'all to hear this, because this is very important.
I'm in. This is very important to your question. I like it. I want you to hear this because this is very important. I'm in.
This is very important to your question.
I like it.
On what people...
You said you asked me what people...
I think people don't view you well.
What is it?
Misconception.
Misconception.
Misconception.
How about me?
This is the answer.
Thank you.
I have to tell you.
I have to answer your question,
but this is a great answer.
Okay.
So, during COVID, I was waking up at five in the morning every day, right?
And I was writing a lot of music.
Every morning I would wake up and I would write.
I started writing when I was five.
Look at the numbers.
Look how the numbers align.
Look how the numbers align.
I started writing when I was five.
I used to write letters to my mom that were very detailed. My mom was like,
how do you write these letters? This is crazy.
I was writing
better than my mother when I was five.
See?
No, I used to write my mother letters
and my mom would tell me,
how am I writing these letters at five?
Because I was using big words.
Did she go to school, your mom?
Yeah, she went to school, but I don't think she graduated, though.
But she went to school.
I asked, because my mom never went.
Yeah, I didn't graduate, but she went to school.
Maybe she did. I don't know.
I don't think she did.
I don't think she did, but I'm not sure.
Y'all brothers or something?
Yeah, come on.
Both of they moms didn't go to school.
First of all, we the first.
Damn, y'all don't make me forget what the fuck I was... What was I talking about, man? in the Dominican Republic. Yeah, come on. Both of they moms think it was cool. First of all, we the first. So, damn,
y'all don't make me forget
what the fuck I was...
What was I talking about, man?
They don't make me forget.
No, I'm so sorry.
Misconception.
Thank you, misconception.
Thank you, baby.
So, misconception, right?
He and his mothers
out here bullshitting.
That's why we...
We trying to tell you...
Let me tell you.
Let me tell you
the misconceptions.
Hold on.
Before I forget.
So, basically,
basically the biggest misconception about me, right?
So, my mom used to say,
what the hell?
Bonnie, my daughter goes to
that's like top school in the country.
It's top school in the country.
It's A, B.
You got a C, you kicked out.
She earned that spot.
There's no money that I could possibly pay
if she was an idiot.
Like, you have to be a genius and you have to have a certain IQ to go to that school. And she was on the waiting
list for, it's supposed to be a year. She was only two months. They was like, we want her. She's like
a scientist. She builds, she builds, she's built, but I built, I build shows. I build shows. She
builds space. She built spaceships. So, um, you know, I was always a great writer. I was always
a great writer. I was always the best at what I wrote.
You know what I'm saying?
Always, always, always, always the best writer.
So the biggest, how do you say?
Misconception.
Misconception.
About me is that I'm not the best because it's like,
I've been doing this my whole life.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
I wrote this song, Campesino, during COVID because throughout the COVID
and throughout the last six years of my life,
I've learned that the world needs to hear me.
These birthday songs, Vegas songs, TikTok songs,
that's cool.
Come on, guys.
That's cool.
Let's do it like it's Aubrey Day.
Yeah, that's cool.
That's cool. That's cool. Let's do it like it's Auburn Day. That's cool. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool.
That's cool.
That's cool.
But when I really knew a few years back during the COVID that I couldn't stop doing music,
no matter how hard it was, it's because they have to listen to what I have to say.
Because I have to say certain things from where I come from that the kids need to hear that.
Because if they don't
nobody would tell them
and I knew
that's when I knew
that I had to
do the music
I don't care
about the music
fuck these people
you think I give a fuck
about shaking my fat
Puerto Rican good pussy
on stage
for these niggas
you really think
you think
what you really think
what you really think
what you really think
I can't
what you really what. But you really think I care? And then you talk about your Puerto Rican face.
But you really think I care?
The tears go back in my face.
You really think I care?
You really think?
You really think?
Just.
You really think at my grown age, you really think at my grown age that I'm pressed for that?
You really think that? Or do you really understand the fact
that I was touched by
my ancestors and the way I
write, the way I write,
the way I pen. Things that nobody heard
that I wrote four or five years ago, that's timeless.
Like Hector Lebeau. You're talking about
Mark Anthony. Mark Anthony ain't nobody
to Hector Lebeau. Hector Lebeau
is like 50
years compared to the 25 years.
This ain't no,
this ain't,
this ain't no,
you can't compare the two.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
So things that I wrote
during COVID
that I can't listen to,
I cry when I listen
to certain of my songs.
Campesina.
It's so detailed.
I'm a fucking campesina.
I'm supposed to be nobody,
my nigga.
I'm supposed to be nothing. I'm supposed to be nothing I'm supposed to be
I'm supposed to be a fat bitch
Goddamn growing vegetables
In the fucking country
In Puerto Rico
I'm not supposed to be who I am
I'm not supposed to be who I am
I'm supposed to be
Living happy with my husband
We both fight a thousand pounds
With the babies
They all 500, 600 pounds
We grow Eating Baking the pork Baking the pork with my husband, we both fight a thousand pounds with the babies. They all fight a hundred, six hundred pounds.
We grow up in, in, in,
making a point,
making a point.
I'm not,
I'm not supposed to be that
and I was cool
with being that.
And guess what?
I'm still cool with,
I'm still cool
with being that
but I have to,
I have a job to do.
The job is to
let people hear,
the kids hear.
Inspire.
Because you know
what I got to say?
What I got to say
is very important.
You know why?
Because I cried a lot of nights.
I cried a lot of nights
to get what I got.
We're so glad you're here.
I'm so glad you're here.
That's why.
We're glad you're here.
Let me ask you something.
This is something that we've never seen
in hip-hop and music business.
Right now,
Blac Chyna is like
being the total opposite
of what she was supposed to be.
She deserves that.
And I believe her.
She deserves that.
I see why she's doing that.
She deserves that.
I believe it.
Can I tell you, and I'm glad as a man.
She's helping a lot of people.
I'm glad as a man you see that,
because I could see bullshit.
I'm different.
You're a man.
I'm different.
What do you mean by that?
Say that again.
I'm glad that a man could see bullshit. I'm different. You're a man. I'm different. What do you mean by that? Say that again? I'm glad that a man could see that
because Black Shina
or a girl like me,
we didn't have the opportunity
to really love who we were
and what we look like
because we didn't have the mother
to teach us that
or the fathers or anybody.
Some napkins, Jamie.
So she deserves to go back
and fix ourselves. Right. That to go back and fix herself.
Right.
That's the least she could do.
That's real.
I like that,
that she took out
all of the this,
all of the that.
She's even the nails.
She's like, nah.
I don't wear nails.
I haven't worn nails
in so long.
In so long?
No nails?
I don't do none of that.
That's so weird.
That's crazy.
I have to come in here
looking good.
It's my job. I have to get in here looking good. It's my job.
I have to get my hair done, get my makeup done.
But when I'm at home, I'm in yoga pants.
You know what I've always said?
If I was a woman, if I was a woman,
I'd step out every day with no makeup, nothing,
because I know whoever hollered at me.
They like it for you.
They like it for you.
That's why you're not a woman, dude.
You wouldn't need makeup if you was a woman, Sarah.
Yeah, and your friends ain't shit.
You want the guy to like you for you, right?
It's true.
It's very true. I'm stepping out with no makeup this night because I know whoever holler at me.
No, you know what?
He's kind of right.
If I was a woman.
And I hate agreeing with you, and you know that. I hate agreeing. I don't want to agree with know what? He's kind of right. If I was a woman... And I hate agreeing with you
and you know that.
I hate agreeing.
I don't want to agree with you
but it's kind of right.
That would be the point.
So when you do this
and you do that
and you do all this other stuff,
you are inviting guys
that just want to smash.
That's all I'm just
You're kind of right.
I hate agreeing.
Why do you feel...
And they don't want to... They're not thinking long term with you. They're just thinking short term. Okay hate agreement Why do you feel And they don't want to
They're not thinking long term with you
They're just thinking
Okay but why do you
But why do you feel like we're doing it for y'all

The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration in the United States.
Recipients have done the improbable,
showing immense bravery and sacrifice in the name of something much bigger than themselves.
This medal is for the men who went down that day.
It's for the families of those who didn't make it.
I'm J.R. Martinez.
I'm a U.S. Army veteran myself,
and I'm honored to tell you the stories of these heroes on the new season of Medal of Honor, Stories of Courage
from Pushkin Industries and iHeart Podcast.
From Robert Blake, the first black sailor to be awarded the medal,
to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice.
These are stories about people who have distinguished themselves by acts of valor going above and beyond the call of duty.
You'll hear about what they did, what it meant, and what their stories tell us about the nature of courage and sacrifice.
Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

nowhere else. Each episode, I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West.

and bestselling author and meat eater founder, Stephen Ranella.

there's nothing wrong
conversating about sex.
It's a beautiful thing.
It's a beautiful thing.
And I'm not, I'm not one of those girls
that get uncomfortable
because you remember,
you got to remember,
when I used to be a stripper,
an exotic dancer,
an entertainer.
You had to break the guys.
Well, I had to like,
listen, the guys were coming in,
they're paying us
to have a good time.
They want to laugh.
They want to have fun.
It's not sexual.
I'm talking to you.
I'm talking to you all.
All men in the room.
It's only one other lady
which is a bartender.
Shout out to her.
She's great. She's awesome. Jamie. All men in the room. It's only one other lady, which is a bartender. Shout out to her. She's great.

We love Jamie.
Jamie and I,
I like.
She could deal.
No other ladies in here
but Jamie and I, right?
Yes.
So you know she has
a strong, positive energy.
That's what we need.
Where it's like comfortable.
Just because we're talking
about a little golden shower
and a little sex and a little
that, I'm not going to get uncomfortable.
Like I did that my whole life.
My first career was to entertain people at Rolex and Cocos and Onyx in Atlanta.
So it's like I've been around.
How much you used to charge to pin somebody?
Well, can I tell you something?
And give us a name.
I tell you the truth.
I tell you the truth. If you can.
I tell you the truth and only the truth.
When I used to be a stripper, I never was so open as I am now,
so I knew nothing about that then.
I kind of learned doing the other things, the bigger things,
like after I stopped dancing.
Because you got to remember, I stopped dancing when I was 24.
Remember, I started doing love and hip-hop.
I met Stevie when I was 23. He introduced me to Mona because I was looking for a way out. I was managing. Remember, I started doing Love & Hip Hop. I met Stevie when I was 23.
He introduced me to Mona because I was looking
for a way out.
I was managing the young girl.
So you wasn't a peer
as a stripper?
No, because you know what?
If I was,
I would have made
so much money.
I would have been like,
yeah, niggas
lining the fuck up.
But it would have been
a million dollars
a piece entrance fee, though.
Eddie, you out. You out. Don't play entrance fee, though. Eddie, you out.
You out.
Don't play.
No, no.
Eddie, you out.
No, Eddie not out.
Eddie wouldn't want to go hustling that money to come get some of these feet.
Stop playing, nigga.
Fuck it.
And you know what?
Guess what?
I don't think that's the way to work.
One thing I know about the peeing thing is.
What?
Are we still on peeing?
Yeah, it's cheaper in the morning.
You guys love it.
It's cheaper in the morning.
That first morning piss is so yellow and so ill.
You need to drink it to water.
You got to get a discount on that.

But how do you feel about Blueface and Christian?
Because they like the new Bobby and Whitney.
I feel like they love each other.
I think so, too.
There's love, right?
No, he asked me how I feel.
I don't know what nobody's doing.
I feel like they love each other,
and I send the best energy that I can to them
because I was their age before, and I've been through a lot, and I send the best energy that I can to them because I was
their age before and I've been through a lot
and I will not be the one to judge them.
Hopefully, they
have a beautiful life and
get money and maybe we could
see them happily ever after
because to me, when I
look at them, I feel like they love each other.
They're in lust with each other and they love each other.
I think they're going to be invited. I just feel like, you know, everybody go through things.
And unfortunately this generation in the media is so much easier to go on your phone because it's
like, like I said, I'm being here crying to you the whole fucking time I've been here. It's like
therapy. So I feel like when they go online and show what's going on with their relationship is
maybe it might be like therapy. Like who are we to say, Hey, don't do that. Why are you showing
your business out there and all of that?
Fuck everybody.
Like, if that's their therapy for them to not kill each other or for them to not do anything weird to each other and just go in and show the world.
That's just, they live that life.
So, like, they just got to grow out of that.
And we love it.
It entertains us.
We watch it.
We see it.
We laugh at it.
We love it.
We love their relationship.
So, I mean, what the fuck?
Who am I to judge them?
Like, I'm going to turn the other cheek.
I'm like Jesus.
Because I'm not here to.
I'm not here to.
Huh?
Not Jesus.
Martin Luther King.
Well, I'm saying Jesus turned the other cheek.
Yeah.
I thought it was Martin Luther King.
He turned the other cheek.
But I don't see.
Martin Luther King turned the other cheek, man.
Y'all are fucking out.
Martin Luther King.
Not Jesus.
Jesus ain't turn no other cheek
I wish
I wish everybody's
relationship
but she's not gonna get hit
and turn the other cheek
I don't see
I thought it was Marla

the other cheek
a lot of times but

We all rock Mason.
We all Jay-Z.
We all Beyoncé, you bozos.
And guess what?
Nobody believed you.
Nobody believed her.
You know why nobody believed her?
Because everybody in the world knows that she's one of the greatest.
Of course.
So you have to put her in that category as being one of the greatest.
Of course.
I could not finish five without Beyoncé.
Of course.
So Hector Laboe, I'm not going to say anything.
I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, knows that she's one of the greatest. So you have to put her in that category as being one of the greatest.
I could not finish my five without Beyoncé.
Of course.
So Hector Labo, Lila Downs, Michael Jackson,
Nina Simone,
and Beyoncé.
That's the beautiful five.
That's how I like my
five that I know for a fact
in my heart, in my soul, in the way I feel when I listen to them, in the work ethic, in the persistence, in the love and passion and just telling the truth or creating or performing.
It's got to be them.
Goddamn.
So is there anything That you regretted
Like you regret
That you could take back
If you could take back
Anything in your life
Right now
Nothing
Ah that's real
That's real
Nothing
Yeah cause you started
From the mud
So you cannot take
Nothing back from the mud
You know what
Can I tell you why
Yeah
Because
Like I said
During the COVID
2019
I discovered That the kids And the people Need to hear because like I said, during the COVID 2019,
I discovered that the kids and the people need to hear
what I put on that paper.
And when I started in 2019,
when I wrote this song
at five in the morning,
when everybody sleep,
the whole world is asleep
at five in the morning.
The whole world.
The whole world.
I hear the trees.
Everyone's asleep, he's up.
Well, I'm speaking
during COVID.
That's why I know you, my sister. You sound
exactly, that's why he keeps saying this.
That's exactly what I was doing.
I didn't write a hit record, though. You won.
You won.
When everybody's asleep, my daughter's asleep,
my husband's asleep,
during COVID, it's just, I don't know.
And mind you, I'm like a late sleeper.
I was a stripper my whole life before I did this.
From 17 to 23, I was a stripper.
And then from 23 to now, I'm a fucking entertainer.
It's the same shit.
I've been entertaining my whole life.
I'm going to sleep late as fuck.
It's true shit, real shit.
I'm going to sleep late as fuck.
That's literally been my whole life.
So when I, you know, I don't listen to that song Campesino
because it's literally,
every time I play it, I cry.
It's like, it's something in me,
like because of what I'm saying.
Like, I don't know.
It's just like that show me
that I'm not giving up with the music
because the world needs to hear me.
And the song is all Spanish.
It's all Spanish because I do Spanglish.
I do everything for the cabaret,
which is in English
like do it like
it should be day
or like Vegas
or like
that's the 100 million streams
Vegas got 100 million streams
so the first one
the first one that I
2022 was the biggest year
for me
like I would've
never thought
like I've
I've passed
what I thought I
not really
but like being humble
like I could've been
thinking one way
and like work hard
but then the numbers don't lie.
So I could just be real positive.
But me being positive and actually working towards the project and really believing and loving it,
and really believing in me and believing that this is what I was born to do.
The birthday song, which is Timeless, did nothing compared to the Vegas song, which was my
season three. The Vegas song, there's
so many much more. I got 10 million,
11 million views on a video
on that song, 100 million
streams on that song. I just got a check from
BMI. I get them all the time.
They looking good. They looking really good. They helped
me out with my life, my pay for my daughter's school,
pay for my life, pay
for my career.
60 on the right hand. Okay, I, with my life, I paid for my daughter's school, paid for my life. Big up BMI. For my career. Sexy on the right hand.
Okay, I don't forget.
Doing the things that I need to do,
but that song, but that song, Campesino,
is so special to me because it's like,
at five o'clock when the whole world was asleep
and we were on a shutdown, I wrote it one morning.
It was literally so fast.
It was like so fast.
I had... I had...
Did you tweak the song?
What song is it about?
So, so...
Campesino is a hard name.
What does it mean?
I'm sitting here,
I'm like, Campesino.
Like a farmer.
Yes, farmer.
Farmer.
Farmer.
That's the definition for Campesino.
It's a farmer.
That's the...
Thank you.
That's the definition for Campesino.
I'm a fucking farmer.
I'm a farmer-ass bitch.
So I got really detailed, like...
You know, like, just... It's like, I like, like, I can't hear the song without crying.
No matter what I'm doing.
It's like, if something goes here, I choke.
And that's when I knew, like, my ancestors, my life.
I was meant to be the biggest Latin superstar in the world.
And just because it's going to take people 20 years to see, I'm okay.
I could go 20 years
I've already
I've already went 13
I'm that close
I feel like that was
So
I've already went 13
That was like the Greeks
You know what I'm saying
Like when the Greeks break a glass
I feel like that was the clap
I'm sorry
It was real shit
Well
Well Josh
You're my sister
Let me just tell you something man
Every time I ever seen you
You always been so pleasant
You always showed us love Showed me and my wife love You're my sister. Let me just say something, man. Every time I ever seen you, you always been so pleasant.
You always showed us love, showed me and my wife love.
You and Ballistic, I really enjoy your relationship.
I really enjoy y'all together.
I really enjoy you getting money, and I wanted to give you your flowers.
I love you. I was so glad that you know.
This is like a trophy to me.
No.
It's like a trophy.
Yes.
Like this is going in the house.
Snoop Dogg said that's the black people's Grammy. He said it's the black people's Grammy. See, I see, and I didn't even hear him say that. This is like a trophy to me. No, it is. It's like a trophy. Yes. Like, this is going in the house. Snoop Dogg said that's the black people's Grammy.
He said it's the black people's Grammy.
See, I see, and I didn't even hear him say that.
This is like a trophy.
Just so you know.
Yeah, this is like, and I love Snoop Dogg.
I feel like he's one of the greatest.
I feel like, Nori, you're one of the greatest.
But I want to give you not only your flowers.
Literally, I also want to give it to you mentally because what you did as a person that's from the hood to come out and you, you know, change everything about your whole life.
Can we talk about being black and Hispanic?
Yeah, I'm going to finish.
I'm going to send that to you the last one.
Let me give you your flowers.
Let me give you your flowers.
Let me give you your flowers.
Like, you know what?
What you did.
And I'm telling you, I've seen every episode of Love of Hip Hop.
I'm talking about every single episode.
And it was a time before I even met you that I would just tune in. I was like, I want to see what she's
going to say. And I'm every week, Monday night, eight o'clock, whatever it was, six o'clock,
whatever. And I would sit there. And for me to see you go from where you were there to where you are now. It's something that we have to salute.
Every person in this room has to sit back and say,
God damn it, because that is the legendary thing.
Coming from nothing and making yourself not only something,
but even more than that.
And you have done that.
And I want to salute you.
I want to salute you.
But we can end it.
Because I like this question that you just asked.
And you said, how difficult it is being black and Puerto Rican.
Now, I am literally black and Puerto Rican.
My mother is black.
My father is Puerto Rican.
My mother kind of looked like back in the days. My mother kind of looked like, back in the days,
my mother kind of looked like Nicki Minaj
and my father kind of looked like Hector Laval.
Yes!
I got a picture of them. I was like,
you was outside, ma!
Looking good.
Yeah, looking good.
And they birthed a star.
That's what them genes do that.
So how is it being, because you are black and Puerto Rican just like me.
Like you are, so how is that?
It's good.
It ain't easy.
Let me tell you something.
Go ahead.
I was born in Puerto Rico.
My mother and my father both were born in Puerto Rico.
My grandmother and my grandpa was born in Puerto Rico.
Wow. Their grandparents was born in Puerto Rico. My grandmother and my grandpa was born in Puerto Rico. Wow.
Their grandparents was born in Puerto Rico.
Wow.
The other parents
that come before the one, two, three,
the third generation,
they were born,
one in Spain and one in Africa.
Wow.
That's where it comes,
that's where it comes.
That's where my mother's parents,
one is white with green eyes,
the dad and the lady,
the mom, her mom is black.
From Spain.
Well, her mom was from Africa.
She was a black woman.
Wow.
And it's difficult for me to sit down and talk to my friends and talk to African American ladies that were born in America with African ancestry.
Because I always throw out the thing where I'm black. And they look at me like,
but you're not black, you're Puerto Rican.
And I tell them, I'm like,
you have to be, well no.
You know your history.
You have to be very ignorant.
Are you an atheist?
No, no, people need to be.
Black did not start that.
No, no, no. People need to be. Black did not start that. No, no, no.
That's where she's going.
This is, listen, I had an A in this class in college here that's going to drop next month.
Okay.
And the paper that I had to do was on a black Hispanic that was born in Puerto Rico.
I have to constantly remind people
that no matter where you're born,
when you walk in the room,
they're going to always remind you your color.
Deep.
I love it.
And a lot of people always forget that.
So I make a lot of black girls that are,
American black girls, uncomfortable
because they feel like I'm not black.
But I tell them, look at my skin color.
And so my whole life I've had to fight for the, with the white people. It's like,
fuck you. I know I'm black. And with the black people, it's like, what are you saying?
Well, what are you saying? What are you saying? So when I went to college,
I got into a fight that same exact day.
I beat that bitch ass.
She attacked me.
Because I was speaking on facts.
Facts are that when your color is your color,
your color is your color.
It don't matter what the fuck or where you were born.
And so I've always feel like
I always have to explain myself.
It's like when I tell black girls I'm black,
they be like,
I'm like, look at my,
forget where I was born at. Look at the color on like, look at my, forget where I was born at.
Look at the color on my skin.
Don't,
don't,
don't worry about
where I was born.
You was born,
you was born here in America
and your mama
or your ancestors
was born in Africa.
My ancestors
was born in Africa too.
Same shit.
Relax.
Okay?
Ain't no Christopher Columbus
fucking found nothing.
That motherfucker
came from England.
He don't know shit.
He stole everything,
okay,
from the Indians.
Correct. Please don't talk to He stole everything Okay from the Indians Correct
Please don't talk to me
About none of that
None of that weird shit
Talk to me
Like
Like
Talk to me
Motherfucker
Talk to me
Talk to me
When I walk in the room
I'm
Be happy that I'm proud to be black
I'm not proud to be black
Cause I'm Puerto Rican
And I have the perks
Bitch ain't no perks You black you black You black you I'm not proud to be black because I'm Puerto Rican and I have the perks.
Bitch, ain't no perks.
You black, you black.
You earned it.
You black, you black.
You don't have to have.
And I don't feel like that about Spanish people that are lighter.
I feel like that about Spanish people that are dark.
Because Spanish people that are lighter, nigga, you white.
You Spanish white person.
It was an advantage for you.
And then, and whatever, whatever, whatever it was, I don't care.
Whatever it was, do what you do.
But I know for a fact, since I was a jet, I knew I was a nigga.
And I don't give a fuck where I was born at.
I always knew I was a nigga.
And I made people feel real uncomfortable.
Even in the college.
That's coming out next month.

HBCU, guess what?
When the bitch attacked me and I dog-wired that bitch
They fucking expelled me from school
They expelled me from school
And you know what I said?
I said, y'all crazy as fuck
I said, I get attacked
And I get expelled from school
But this is HBCU
And I'm the blackest bitch you got in this motherfucking house
Okay, I don't want to rest in peace
Get the fuck out of my dick
Man, I walk out the mall
Man, I walk out that shit so fast
I'm like, man, ain't nobody gave you what I gave you with the history.
We went into the museum that you could see the slaves and the babies and all of that,
you know?
Like, we went there, and I'm just like, you know, my whole thing is like, because I feel
me being black.
I'm not a white person.
I'm far from being white.
I don't care about that European blood
because you know what I care about?
I care about my skin color
and how they never let me forget it.
So now I just embrace it
because it's beautiful.
I love being who I am.
I love being to a place
where white people think
I'm ghetto and ratchet.
Guess what?
The black people don't think
I'm ghetto and ratchet.
Black people like me think I'm fancy.
You could think that I'm ghetto and ratchet.
I want you to think
that I'm ghetto and fancy because my people think that the people that have the same color as me, they think I'm fancy. You could think that I'm ghetto and ratchet. I want you to think that I'm ghetto and fancy, because
my people think that I'm fancy. The people that have
the same color as me, they think I'm fancy. So
if you that don't have my color don't think I'm fancy,
cool. Why would I care?
Cut the chat. Why would I give a fuck about
how you think? So like,
for me, it's very important
to really embrace your blackness, whether
you was born. Listen, I'm telling you, Mike,
two, three back ancestors back
was all born in Puerto Rico,
but I know that my mom's
dad's side of the family,
they was all white with green eyes
and my mom's side of the family,
they was all black,
black like this cloth.
And I,
and I enjoy,
and I enjoy,
and I enjoy,
and I,
the thing is,
I enjoy it.
My father had green eyes.
Listen,
I enjoy,
I enjoy telling my husband,
you know,
fuck this black person good, suck this black person good. You know what I'm saying. Listen, I enjoy telling my husband, fuck this black person good.
Suck this black person good.
You know what I'm saying?
I enjoy saying that.
I'm not ashamed of it.
I love my skin.
Every morning when my daughter wakes up before she goes to school, she's like, I love my skin.
I love my hair.
I love my color.
I'm a nice person.
I'm a good person.
I love my parents.
This is how I teach my daughter to talk.
That's right So I'm
At three years old
I taught my dad
My daughter
How to love her skin color
How to love her hair
Her coarse hair
How to love her kings
How to love her
Her skin
How to love her body
How to love everything about her
And she gonna tell you
She love her skin
At six years old
God damn it
And I think a lot And I think a lot of people whether they're like black
that was born in like a Spanish island or a Spanish country or there are or there are black
born in like America from African ancestry I think that you all really enjoy their color it's a
beautiful thing it's a beautiful thing and let's a beautiful thing. And let me tell you something.
I've always only dated black men.
I've never even dated my own kind because growing up, I've always dated.
In Puerto Rico, I've always seen lighter skinned people where I was raised up.
Everybody was lighter.
But I love my color and I accepted it. So when I came to America at like six or seven years old, I've always was attractive to the
darker skin because I just thought
it was beautiful.
One of my brothers
is super dark.
My other brother
is lighter than me
and then my oldest brother,
he's like brown.
So I've just always thought
it was beautiful
and then all my mom's
baby dad has had that color.
So my mom is very fair.
She's lighter than me.
And so I just always enjoyed
the darkest skin.
I thought it was always beautiful.
Puerto Rico's America too.
Well, I know it's America, but
I'm speaking if you come from Cuba,
Santo Domingo, or other places like that.
Josh and me take
my lighter the whole night. I respect it.
Where is it? I know you from the hood.
I get it back.
Hood niggas take lighters all the time.
And Josh...
How's my lighter the whole...
Can I get a lighter, Eddie, to ask you?
Can you? Everybody's lighters is gone? and Jocelyn house my lighter the whole can I get a lighter Eddie to ask can you everybody's lighter

I don't want to give
my lighter

but I will trade you
a lighter
for a bottle of
I think I want to
take a good roll

you know
yeah it's got to be good.
I've been talking to Issa Rae about acting.
I'm always like on her DMs like,
bitch, what's up?
Because she put a couple of my songs
on her show Insecure and Rap Shit.
Issa Rae.
That's dope.
That's dope.
Yeah, Issa Rae.
Issa Rae is the shit.
Yeah.
Oh, she is the shit.
Yeah, basically he was like,
are you open to acting?
And I was like,
I don't really like acting,
but I'm ready for like a good role.
Why not?
Because I never wanted to be an actress.
I always wanted to be a singer and a dancer.
You know, I never wanted to act.
It all goes together, though.
It all goes together.
You can do anything.
Selena, everyone.
And God, you know.
But that's what I, this is.
He's singing, you're kind of acting.
This is what I'm, what I was just telling him.
When you sing, I thought you said when you see me. I was just telling him. When you sing,
I thought you said,
when you see me.
I was just... Wait a minute.
Videos.
Reality TV.
What's your name again?
Paul.
That's Paul.
I was just telling Paul that
when I find the right role,
then I'll do it.
And because Issa Rae used
like a couple of my songs in 2022.
Gangsta.
In like three shows i was
like oh my gosh i love you thank you isa is so yeah so i always be the i don't got her i don't
got her telephone number or anything but like because we follow each other i always hit her
on the damn like listen isa you need to write something for us together so she text she dm me
back and she was like i got you bitch i was like yes i kept DMing her because when she used my songs,
she paid me to use my songs.
Issa Rae's paying me to use my songs. I'm big.
No, listen to me. I'm huge.
I got three checks from Issa Rae
2022. I was like, what the fuck?
To play on her show, she used my songs
on her TV shows. And not only
she used my shows, she used
Jocelyn's Cavaray clip on her shows.
Listen, by the way,
let me just say something.
I was like,
I was like,
please,
please,
use me on your shows.
So I was begging her.
I kept DMing her.
I was begging her
for like a month.
Please,
write something for us,
please.
So she finally DMed me back.
I got you, bitch.
Oh, no, no, listen,
listen, listen.
Let me just say this.
Issa Rae,
about that fucking life. Yes. Man, I kept begging her. I was like, Issa, listen, listen, listen. Let me just say this. Issa Rae, about that fucking life.
Yes.
Man, I can't beg you,
Issa, I watch all your shows.
She's also my sister.
I love her as well.
But what I'll tell you is,
if she says it,
she does it.
Oh, I believe her.
I promise.
I believe her.
Listen,
first of all,
it took her like a year
to respond back. What? I mean, she promise. I believe her. Listen, first of all, it took her like a year to respond back.
Well, I mean, she busy.
She all busy.
I'm sure that she wasn't the one that was like, oh, I just want Jocelyn up in here.
Somebody probably gave her the idea to play the songs on her show in the cabaret.
I don't know.
I'm not.
You know, so when she did that, I was like, oh, my gosh, what the fuck?
So I was DMing her 2022.
I'm like, please, please, because I just love how she acts.
And I actually enjoy her acting. And I think
she's beautiful. And I think that
she's one of those people that really
embrace her blackness like I do.
Fuck where I was born at, because I hate when bitches
be on that. Bitch, why is she wearing my wear?
I was born at. Look at the color. Look at the energy.
Look at the energy. Look at the
vibe. Look at me, bitch.
You ain't trying to mess me with the bullshit, bitch. You ain't trying to mess me with the bullshit, bitch.
Don't mess me with that.
You know what I'm saying?
I love that about her because I just feel like she's a great black color woman.
Whether she's black or white, she's still going to be her.
Her tan, her color, her blackness don't mean nothing.
She's still a genius.
The human.
But let me also big you up, too.
I'm so mad that my son
Went to the bathroom
At this time
My son went to the
Oh
Oh
It's okay
I'm glad it wasn't the wine
I'm sorry
We're sharing
I'm so mad that my son
Went to the bathroom
At this time
Because what I was saying was
I was like alright cool
And then
Like when we
We interview people
We go and do our research.
And so we was looking at interviews of you.
On Twitter.
And going on Twitter.
But my son was like, nah, Pop, you got to understand.
They listen to Jocelyn, music in the hood.
This is my, he went to the bathroom.
So he was like, we have to listen to the playlist. He went to the bathroom. He's not here. That's why I know you went to the bathroom, so he was like, he was like, we have to listen to the playlist.
He went to the bathroom.
Because he's not here.
That's why I know he went to the bathroom.
Listen, how long has he been in there?
Get him out of there.
No, but that's what I was trying to say.
That's epic.
That was like, so I was like, all right, cool.
And then we went and we started going through the, it was like, yo, Johnson outside.
God damn it.
So listen.
Listen, listen, just an outside. God damn it. So listen.
Listen, listen, listen.
Because this is what I would like to end it with you.
Because I'm not saying to end it,
but what I would like to say is I want you,
because I told you about my friend who wakes up in the morning
and he Googles himself the negative part.
What I would like for you to do, for you,
because you've made it to the level where
women want to be you.
They really do.
So the thing about what you should always do
is you should Google the good part of you.
Every single day you wake up and you say,
what's good about me?
And when you see, because it's...
I'm scared.
I never really...
I've Googled myself my whole life,
maybe like, I want to say like four times.
But let me finish my point, because...
Can I get one more, Jamie?
Nothing for him.
No, no, no.
Let me just tell you why.
Because you're dealing with something I dealt with before.
Fame?
It's called survivor's remorse.
I don't understand.
Oh, I know where he's going with that.
It's called I made it.
So sometimes I kind of...
Feel bad.
I kind of feel bad because I made it.
And this is what I feel like you're dealing with.
Maybe I'm wrong, but when I see you get emotional, I feel like that.
I feel like...
Actually, I feel...
I feel...
emotional because I don't believe it.
No, no, listen, no.
I know it's true.
But I'm like, wow, how did I ever do that when I was bound to be a drug, a druggie, nothing, dead, young, black, weird, Latin, ugly, dunking bitch.
Oh, but look.
Can you look at me for one second?
That's cause of Iverson Monk.
Yes.
What you're dealing with
is you're saying,
I've done this.
No, I know I do.
No, I want you to stay with him
where he going.
Yeah, but
what I want you to do is
fuck that.
You made it because you deserve it. Thank that. You made it because you deserve it.
Thank you.
You made it because you deserve it.
You need to be here.
Put it away.
And the more you wake up every day and you don't see it.
And I dealt with exactly what you're dealing with.
Because you're like, all right, cool.
I got to do more.
I got to be at a different place.
So you're kind of almost downplaying the position that you're at now.
No, no.
Can I tell you something?
Yes, please.
A book that I bought that really changed my way of thinking, Take the Leap by Steve Harvey.
I like that. Steve Harvey has been my guidance to waking up positive and happy to be alive.
Right.
You want me to tell you something that I know for fact is going to help?
Say it again.
You want me to tell you something that I know for fact that's going to help?

Anybody didn't give it to me.
I have to give it to myself.
And we're giving it to you, too.
Thank you.
We're giving it to you.
But I'm going to leave it on this note.
What I want to say to you is
I love the fact that
you brought me my flowers. I love the fact that
I gave you your flowers. But I also
want you to understand
that you deserve
your own flowers too.
Because that's like
one of the things, and I'm sorry to be a
therapist. You said it.

You didn't have to.
Right.
But what I want to, I want to big you up.
I want to also tell you, like, you're your own genius.
You're your own,
you know what I mean?
Everything that you do,
you have to actually,
because if you don't recognize you,
it kind of wipes it out.
And I get the fact that,
you know, sometimes
you're looking at everyone else,
but I want you to
super realize
that is you who made yourself great as well and you should always salute
yourself because we salute you and we're gonna continue salute you they was it
was so funny like we were sitting here waiting for you and everybody was like, Johnson going to come through about that lot.
Did I make the expectations?
Yes.

But this has been...
This has actually been
the most real
and comfortable
and excited
that I've been
with any interview
for TV.
Alicia Keys said that too.
Anything else?
Thank you. Alicia Keys. And too. Anything else? Thank you.
Alicia Keys.
And can I tell you something?
That's why I love the Queens.

when the Queens come through.
It's not because...
Take a sip.
Take a sip.
Take a sip, girl.
You know how it go.
Or it don't count.
It's not because
of who we are.
It's because of who you are and because of who you are
and the preparation
that we are in at that moment.
Thank you.
That was so deep.
That was deep.
Let me tell you,
and I understood every word of it.
