You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something?

It calms me down. If anything, I'm more careful. Honestly, it just helps me focus. That's probably what the driver who killed a four-year-old told himself. And now he's in prison. You see, no matter what you tell yourself,
Starting point is 00:01:20 if you feel different, you drive different. So if you're high, just don't drive. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council What would you eat if you had to start over? Real simple, poor man's, poor woman's food. Black beans, chicken, rice, plantains. On the podcast eating while broke, I sit down with celebrities, entrepreneurs, and creators as they revisit the meals they once relied on

You think a woman who has been writing, producing, engineering, and financing her own music for over two decades. Because she decided a long time ago that nobody was going to own her. You think 25 years in entertainment is still the most underrated conversation at R&B. Ladies and General.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Still looking brand new. Still looking. Get it off of Maya. Let me tell you some. God has been good to you. You're looking brand new. Nuevecita, mommy, de Fabrica. She looked.
Starting point is 00:05:00 What happened? What's Spanish? No. No. Thank you all so much for the introduction. It's so good to see you. And you too. I'm always seeing you in passing, we're always working on the road.
Starting point is 00:05:20 That's right. You know, and same with you. I saw you somewhere recently, and you were also working, performing. Wasn't it vibes cartoon? Just a concert? No, I wasn't at vibes. It was somewhere. Somewhere.

Starting point is 00:06:04 Who else? Too short. Too short. Short dog, the king of the vocal. Yeah. And they had me and too short interview Vice President, the former vice president.
Starting point is 00:06:17 I'm like, how this shit going to work out? Which one? Fat Joe the gangster, Too Short. Biden? Kamala Harris, man. We interviewed her. Me and Too Short out of all people, BTX us.
Starting point is 00:06:27 What did you ask? Nice stuff, nice stuff. But at first, I was frightened by the lineup. I said, Fat Joe, Too Short. Oh, this shit gonna go all the way left. You know, he might be like, yo, what's my favorite word? Bitch, I swear to God, he asked to that.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Right. She answered it, but we, she answered it. Hmm. They ignored. She's from the Bay Area. Yeah. of the desk. She said, bitch. Real cute. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Amazing. Iconic. You see? Vegan. Why vegan? It's a lifestyle. You know, not just food. As I went down the rabbit hole,
Starting point is 00:07:07 I found out a lot of information that I wasn't privy to. So once I learned, there was awareness, of course, that took place. And I said, okay, yeah, I can claim vegan because I changed my diet. But I didn't realize I wasn't a true vegan without adopting the full lifestyle. So fashion, makeup, hair products, home decor. I didn't realize that there were so many, well, animal cruelty aspects, you know, to the things that I wear, put on my body, in my body. So I just shake for a lifestyle around.
Starting point is 00:07:40 What if I gave you coconut, the exotic coconut? Would that not be like, we didn't kill nobody over that, right? That's vegan, yes. Yeah. I don't want a coconut. Like, what do you? Listen to the exotic coconut. You know.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I'm a cereal of, I'm a fucking, like a serial killer of steaks and hamburgies and all this shit. I don't. Chickens. I tried vegan for a couple of hours. I went in, no, no, I did. I went in Whole Foods, bought everything vegan. That shit was horrible. How was it?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Okay, it was horrible. That shit was horrible. I couldn't survive one. What did you make? It don't matter. Everything you liked? Horrible. Beyond this shit tastes like cardboard, all that shit.
Starting point is 00:08:27 I was like, yo, I can't do it. You might got to make them. Yeah, you got to experience the real true vegan, flavorful food that's the feeling. I actually seen people go vegan and get fatter. That's true. That's true. That's right. Now you don't, yes.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I've seen it. I experienced that during my first two weeks. the vegan life, right? Because I didn't know what I was doing. And it was all about the carbs for me because I love Italian food. I love rice. I love bread. I love pasta.
Starting point is 00:08:55 All that stuff. And I put on some weight, you know. And I'm like, what? Is this working? This is not working, but it's about, you know, a well-balanced, nutritious meal. More whole food, plant-based foods and all that. Greens are good. The more raw that you can eat or the more pure, you know, food.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Without overheating your foods. Because once you overcook it, you kill all the nutrients and enzymes or whatnot. But the process, vegan food is not too good for you. You know what I'm saying? I ain't going to eat some shit, Maya. You know, I fuck with you, man. And you're my people, man. And, boy, I got to eat some shit.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Not on this earth. I got to eat some shit. Like, I can't do it. They do have some amazing vegan food that, you know, you could still be fulfilled with. They do have vegan steaks that they make with like oyster mushrooms and all kinds of amazingness and the sauces and the flavors and the spices. So you got to go to the right spot. You know how Brother Stiles Pete celebrated his birthday in the vegan spot. I ran out of the air and ate some cereal so fast.
Starting point is 00:10:08 He was like, you're not enjoying this, Joe. And it was his whole shit was for me to enjoy this thing. Coconut saviche. This I'm like, yo, get me the fuck. Fuck. Out of here, let me go eat me some King vitamin
Starting point is 00:10:23 and some shit fast. Like, I can't... Took it to King vitamin. No, no, but this one thing I just can't do vegan. I just can't do it. I wish, I wish, I wish. And I do a lot of...
Starting point is 00:10:33 You know, fat, Joe, not so fat. But vegan is hard. And then you look like... Not you look like, I'm going to categorize you as someone who really does. They do diligence. everything.
Starting point is 00:10:49 So you like pay attention to every detail. So you see, I never did that. Right? So they had like a movie, Russell Simmons sent me a movie one time where they're killing the animals
Starting point is 00:11:01 and I just never watched it because I said, damn, I'm like I want to eat no beef no more or nothing like that. I'm not going to watch this shit because I know the truth. The truth is pretty fucked up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:15 And so I don't want to watch that shit. I don't want to. I want to eat a cheeseburger deluxe Mm-hmm Pickle on the side You know what I'm saying But um
Starting point is 00:11:26 Wow you've had Such a long career chilling Under the radar Mining your own business Staying classy This is what we're missing Right
Starting point is 00:11:38 People don't realize What we do this show This ain't a messy show That's why you came here You know it ain't messy That Joe may be crazy Might say some crazy shit But not
Starting point is 00:11:48 crazy enough. This ain't a messy show. We deal with positivity. And so, you know, they pull out rankings. And anybody who went before us are, you know, shop jocks. You know, they talk, Tupac is still alive. You know, they're talking all that wild shit, right? And so we keep it classy.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And you keep it classy. Is that like, did you intend on like, y'all, I'm going to keep my shit classy because it's pretty messy out there? I mean, I like balance. I'm going to say I like balance. I'm just me, you know, but I'm going to have my fun too. So I like to identify as clatchet.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Clashy, clashing. Clashy and ratchet. You know, there's a balance. Clashy, clashets. Clatchet. Clatchet. Oh, clashet. Yeah, clatchet.
Starting point is 00:12:38 So you got your ratchet moments? I don't think Maya got ratchet moments. I do. It's slight. But, you know, I enjoy. I enjoy the dancing. I enjoy doing. what I do and just being who I am. So there's a balance of get the best of both worlds.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I'm just me. And I don't knock anybody else for being them, whatever that might be. That's it. The easiest job in the world. What? Class you. Some people don't even know who them are. That's,
Starting point is 00:13:08 yo, that's real talk. Some people don't know who they are. They're like trying to fit in and trying to be this or trying to be that. or trying to be down with this. They don't even know. I know grown men that still haven't figured out who they are. That's the craziest shit in the world.
Starting point is 00:13:29 When you're looking at somebody and they keep, you know, one minute they like this, one minute they like that, one minute they like that, one minute they're down with this crew, that crew. I've seen rappers throw on 10 chains. Rough riders, Territus Squad, Rockefeller, fucking no limit.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I just watch motherfuckers throw on them chains. Like, one of them got a stick. You already know when it's a real moment. You need a real bottle. That's why we rock with 1,800 tequila. These people been making tequila for 11 generations. That's a legacy. That's the OG status.
Starting point is 00:14:10 They were the first to introduce a nejo. Set the standard before most of these brands even existed. And you can taste the difference For real, the 1800 Cristilino and Respasado is what we've been on late. Smooth, clean, elevated. No rough edges,
Starting point is 00:14:29 just a premium pour that speaks for itself. You know when something is just built right, that's what this is. Real talk. That's just what it is. It's always around for the best nights, the wins, the celebrations.
Starting point is 00:14:44 They remember that night's stories. Whether you're keeping it low-key with the crew or you pull up to something big. 1800 fits every setting. It ain't trying too hard. It's just as that. 1800 tequila, real legacy, real smooth.
Starting point is 00:15:03 That's the move. My point is ownership, because you've been independent and owning your own thing for a long time. A lot of people just catching on to that. A lot of people are just getting into the ownership way and trying to get
Starting point is 00:15:20 their masters and learning about things they should have learned about isn't. Well, I think you know what as all of
Starting point is 00:15:28 people are artists in this game before they even step into the system there's a bit of independency in that space anyway, right?
Starting point is 00:15:36 That's how you get discovered and signing. I think it's important to keep that. Not everybody is built to be independent either. If you don't know
Starting point is 00:15:44 how to work and you're not trying to work, I have the independent space. because of watching my parents. They're independent thinkers. They've always kind of been against the grain. I watch my dad, like literally record, write, produce,
Starting point is 00:16:00 dish out his records, walk his vinyl to radio stations. So the independent spirit is ending. I love to work too. And I do love music. And I've kind of always been a little bit of a beast, you know, in another world before I go. got into the music business. And so that's just in me.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Now, it's a lot of hard work and it's a lot of hard work. It's just not natural. It's not healthy for your body either, but to each his own. You know what I'm saying? For me, it's worked because I get to create and do what I love the most with no ceilings, no limitation. And then something beautiful happens. Like, you start getting younger when you start really having fun and leaning into what you
Starting point is 00:16:48 love. And it doesn't feel like somebody's making you do anything or you have to conform because it's somebody else's dollar. So there's freedom there. And that's what I've learned that works for me and how I'm built. But don't we always got to do like we always got to feel like we got to do shit. I don't know about child. Like Tuesday, I got two shows in Vegas. I'm kind of mad. I got to leave. Like this shit. You got to leave with. To go do the two shows, man. Maybe I want to just sit my ass on the couch and watch some tennis or something like. Like I'm constantly, we just flew in yesterday. Like I'm constantly just.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Work, but I got to get the money. Don't stop. You got to get the money. So in some case, like when I see my sisters or I wouldn't call them aunties, but when I see like Patty LaBelle and Stephanie Mills and Gladys Nass name, I wonder why they're 80 years old still on the stage. That's the type of shit. it scare me, right?
Starting point is 00:17:49 Because I'm wondering if they're doing it because they just want to be there. Along with the nice pay. Along with the nice pay. But you get what I'm saying, right? I do. I just spoke about this recently with politicians. I went to the Capitol Hill. And the American Music Fairness Act, AMFA.
Starting point is 00:18:11 We were talking to congressmen, you know, in their offices about this. and how legacy artists 80 years old plus are still out here to our in. Their bodies are breaking down, like in heels, all kinds of stuff. Is it because they have to or because of this issue? And so in the United States, artists that don't write their music, of course, and a lot of our legends don't. I weren't able to because they were still paying, yep, that too. And we didn't necessarily know the business back then.
Starting point is 00:18:42 And there was an opportunity. And plus, we didn't have social media and all these platforms. And so there's a bill that we're trying to press to be passed for the reason, not just legacy artists. And then what does it do, get them paid? Every time your song plays on radio, you should be getting paid. No matter what. And because the United States hasn't adopted that, but the rest of the world has, international is also not paying us.
Starting point is 00:19:09 So I spoke about that. But it hurts me when I see our legacy artists out here. right in the way. And I know how my body feels on the road after touring and touring and I dance and I work out. I'm like, hmm, something has to change. And then all the overhead that
Starting point is 00:19:27 artists incur and the commissions. I get up. Yeah. I get up. I'm not complaining because we do have a good. I'm in the hotel room. I get up. And I get that shower and I look at that mirror just before I go to do an hour concert
Starting point is 00:19:44 and my bones start tweaking in I'll be like, damn, me, like, I gotta do this shit again. Don't get it fucked up. Fucking with the fans, I'm there. I love you guys. Thank you for your support, this, this, that. But I don't know about anybody else, but I'm getting older and the fucking, like,
Starting point is 00:20:00 I'm catching pains for no reason everywhere. Like, shit, two days ago, this shit hurt for no reason. My shoulder would be hurting from leaning back. This shit real. Oh, my goodness. Fuck the gym. You're going to get me hurt. more.
Starting point is 00:20:17 I never heard nobody that got hurt more working out, but it's cool. What I'm saying to you, it don't got nothing to do with the gym, man. She knows yourself like Smokey Roberson is performing, all of them is performing. I just want to know, you said they do it because they love it. And they get in the
Starting point is 00:20:34 bag. Of course they get in the back. The problem is... But you know what else, too? I know, especially for men, the responsibility and the expectation of taking care of others. Even though that are not in your bloodline, like your community, your crew. It comes with that expectation.
Starting point is 00:20:52 And a lot of us want to do it because we've been blessed with the opportunity, the gift to step up into that position. So it comes with a lot of giving constantly, but also not just your blood or your immediate family. There's also people that rely on you, to stay employed, to stay working, help their families. And then there's community.
Starting point is 00:21:14 You know what I'm saying? That's a part. of your heart if you have it in you. And it's also expected as well. I am not complaining because we are so blessed. Too blessed. But it's also the reality of what people don't necessarily know that comes with fame or notoriety.
Starting point is 00:21:30 You know. But I love that out of others. And you're absolutely right. Right? Because fortunately enough, God sheds a light on certain artists and they're able to make a great living. But your family's expectation of spending goes up. If your bracket go up, they know how to spend more.
Starting point is 00:21:56 They know how to spend more. And it's like, it's real shit. They know how to spend more. And like, I'm going back to 80-year-old artists, 70-year-old artists. They got grandchildren. They got kids that... You know, if they're working at Meyer LLC, that's what's going on. That's what's going on.
Starting point is 00:22:22 When you see these artists and their son is the fake manager, the distance, they got to employ everyone, and they're living in life. Your son is going in, yo, fat Joe's son. Fat Joe's already 80 years old. He's supposed to be super rich. He's selling Rewind the time. And, you know, there's somebody. that's the problem I've had a lot
Starting point is 00:22:45 with, like, people close to me or I've employed over the years because, because Kay is down with Kiss. When he threw his door to party, he got to act like, Don Colillon,
Starting point is 00:22:59 and they expect shit just because he's affiliated and works with you. That ain't fair. No, no. This is the price of fame. The price of fame and all that, and then, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:11 and so it's like, You know, you got people who got a big heart, and then you got people who just don't give a fuck. You got some guys that be like, I don't give up. Just Tracy Morgan tells me, I know he's a comedian, but he'd call the cops on his family.
Starting point is 00:23:24 When they come to that mansion and Jersey, he's like, yo, two black guys on the corner, it'd be his fucking brother. Two black guys on the corner look suspicious. Get them out of here. They're all fucking Tracy Morgan. That motherfucker is like, yo, they don't belong in this neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Get them the fuck out of here. Like, it's like, yo. Like, anyway, I don't know how we guys. Fuck. Today's show is brought to you by our presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet, Florida Sportsbook. Second round of the NBA playoffs are here. Fantastic.

Mainstream media is full of cruel depictions of the unhoused. stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We the N-House is the podcast that's changing that.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I'm Theo Henderson, creator, and host. And for years, I've created a space where the un-hows and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQTIA plus community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence.

And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is,
Starting point is 00:27:51 getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War. To get to school, I had to go down Robert Ely Boulevard. Get to the grocery store, I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akila Hughes. In Rebel Spirit, Season 2 goes deep on both of those things.
Starting point is 00:28:13 the fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space.

Starting point is 00:29:02 and Coco Jones was on that tour, Moneybone. All the ladies are just so incredibly talented. And they've been in this game for like 30 years. And before that, because they were putting in the world. prior to them hitting. So just, first of all, to be present to give flowers to be a part of that era is wonderful.
Starting point is 00:29:24 And then also to see an arena tour sell out verbatim. Every word, every ad, man. You, Kelly Rowland was looking brand new to Norway as C-down productions, Bobby. Sheesh!
Starting point is 00:29:39 First of all, everybody sounded good, looked amazing, represented for our generation. And then the real music aspect. Oh my goodness. We wanted that bad. I was so happy just to witness. And then of course it would be a part. I would happily just host it and brought out the ladies.
Starting point is 00:29:56 You know what I'm saying? It was a last minute situation. I showed up. I will share a story. You know, the day of that I was called. It's kind of funny. But I went down to Florida to one of my dad's spots just kind of like decompressed, start detoxing and working out to try to take care of myself.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Because I had been grinding and hustling and doing my own type of thing on the road and I was ready to and get all my stuff uploaded into the system for this album, whatever. I got to call it like 130.
Starting point is 00:30:30 And I had my alarm set for like maybe 2 o'clock. 30 minutes later, I was supposed to take a bottle of some natural stuff that's supposed to have you stationary for 24 hours to detox your body. Not the sugar-free red, but, right? Not a diet Pepsi.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Literally, I was going to be pretty much assed out. Oh, assed out. Like, you was about to let that shit fly. Yeah, right? It's got a terminology. Go ahead. So, you know, my manager and the agent called me like, hey, can you get on a flight tonight to get to Chicago?
Starting point is 00:31:07 I'm like to do what? Oh, the boy is my tour. And, you know, I kind of wanted to be on it when it first started because I'm kind of like, from that. era. I came a little later, three years later. So I'm like, where is it? Chicago. What time is my set time? Okay. I've done the venue before. I'm familiar with Winters Arena. I think that's what it was. And I said, look, I got to look at flights to see if any flights even leave out of this part of Florida. There was one flight on Southwest Airlines.
Starting point is 00:31:40 You got one, yeah. Right. 3.35 p.m. I think it landed around 6.5.5.000. I think it landed around 6. 30, something like that. I'm like, what do I even have to wear? So I had done a birthday party, 21 had a birthday party in Atlanta. That's actually where I came from. I said, I have one outfit. That's it. And I got to wear that outfit again. So I hope no pictures come out, nothing like to make it happen. If I can make it
Starting point is 00:32:05 to the airport on time, hopped on a plane, edited my set while I was in the airport in Pro Tools, sent it to them. You're boss. Right? You know. hopped on the plane. They said, oh, we have a hotel room for you, you know, right across the street.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I said, no, just give me an office because I know how this thing goes. I got to do my own hair. Got to do my own makeup. Got to sew the in-air monitor packs, mustard. You might as no sound check. No sound check. No sound check.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Let me hear this. It's crazy. No sound check. I don't know what the stage looks like, really. There's luckily a runway where, first of all, the stage is dead silent because there's no floor monitors.
Starting point is 00:32:46 I don't have a sound check to check the ears. Nothing is working in my ears. I cannot hear music. I can't hear myself. And when you can't hear yourself as a singer, you're singing in the wrong key. You can't even hear the beat, right?
Starting point is 00:33:01 So I just make my way to the runway, the tip of the runway, to even get what the front of house or the audience is hearing. There's not even the audience. It's not even even even in there. So that's not even true to what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Experience, but I'm like, just smile, just dance, just sing. And you want to be here because you're supposed to be here right now. It's about them, but get through it. But I'm like, this is a nightmare. If your ears go out on that tour, oh, my goodness. And you're a vocalist is the most scary thing ever.
Starting point is 00:33:30 But I got through it. And they were like, oh, we'll see you in Kansas City tomorrow. I'm like, no, you won't. No, you will not. So I told my manager and agent, I said, I can't do this tomorrow the way I did it tonight. I got to have floor monitors because if the ears, go out, then I'm probably
Starting point is 00:33:46 going to sound horrible, you know, social media is unforgiving. My, let me tell you some, all you had to do is walk that runway, jikers out. Oh, my gosh. My gosh. And that's exactly, that's exactly what I did.
Starting point is 00:34:00 You did? That's what I did. Come on, my, Ziggas out. And I just prayed that nothing horrible vocally would come out because that's the situation. And, Lord, I did the next day because they got the floor. Now, you're a hustler, Maya.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I've seen you everywhere. I see you working hard. You know, not every artist is a hard working artist like that. And I've seen you grind. There's no disrespect. There's a blind guy type, Andrea Bocelli. If I go to Afghanistan to perform the sign says Andrea Bocelli next week, I've never seen a man work harder like that.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I know how I work. So wherever I go, it's like, Adrylabel Shelley. Like, I'm like, yo, this motherfucker work. I ain't like that. Like, you know how many concerts I go to? That we cross paths,
Starting point is 00:34:54 and she's even performing or I'm performing. Like, you, you grind. You make no excuses. No excuses. You know, I was waiting for that tour. You don't want my experience of what happened on that tour. Like, you don't want to know. And so.
Starting point is 00:35:12 That dude. Yes, we don't. But you're going to tell us? I show up. I'm in a fendi for her. Oh, nice. All white and shit. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:35:26 Got my wife with me. She's looking good. Crockbergins and shit like that. I walk in. I see Jay Z. I'm going to say, yo, what's up? Guys, everybody's in the building. And when I get in there,
Starting point is 00:35:41 I'm trying to watch the show. Actually, they asked me to perform. So while I'm getting ready, I performed, I came out. Fucking fight breaks out backstage. I've been waiting 20 years to see the Monica and branding tour. And they fucked everything up, man. And so, you know, that, I'm telling you the truth. Who was fighting?
Starting point is 00:36:04 They fucked up my experience. Who are people? No, no, no. Like, a fan or fighting? No, no. A manager or 18? No, industry people were fighting. People don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:15 But it's horrible. Because I'm sitting there and I'm looking at Connie Orlando. I'm looking at everybody I respect from the industry from all over. And I'm like, how is this shit happening in the end of them? Axi.
Starting point is 00:36:30 What the fuck? Like, huh? No, nobody. But it was bad for me. You know what I mean? Monica, I came out of Monica said she had hit me up. Everything's okay. I said, yeah, everything's okay.
Starting point is 00:36:49 You know, but it was, you know, it's crazy. But I waited for that tour. Another tour I missed was the, I missed the Boys to Men, New Edition, and Tony Brax. Oh, my God, how did I miss this tour, man? This shit, it's like, I go to the tours. I support. You know, I love, do you go?
Starting point is 00:37:10 Like, as a fan, to shows? If I get a chance to, I'm there. I mean, I came to Brooklyn just to witness vibes, you know. And I brought my friends with me. So you've been a Vives Cartel fan. Yeah, in Brooklyn. So if I get a chance and I can bring people along, you know, that are also fans,
Starting point is 00:37:31 it's a fun time for me. And especially now, I didn't get to go out when I was, of course, paying my duties in this industry. So I do all that now at this age. And so when you mentioned the Branden Monica tour, I was just so proud of the lady. So salute, you know what I'm saying? Because there was a beautiful size to that experience.
Starting point is 00:37:50 It was the biggest tour of last year. And they did the damn thing. And I'm so happy that they got their house. Totally different from Cardi B. I love Cardi too. Cardi B sold that bitch out. She's shaking ass. She's doing more than that.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Different music is she's an entertainer. I don't. I think she made it hard on artists because I think Cardi B blew the bag on the set, on the every, I don't think you could just go up there like regular, you know, some artists, they want the whole bag. So if you headlining the tour like that, the Serena tour shit like that, you got to spend money on the background of the set. I think Cardi B spent a lot of money on her set and every, all I heard from everybody, people with the ATL, people who are here. Yeah, people, they were like, y'all, our shit is crazy. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:38:44 So I think you should invest in yourself if you're going to headline a fucking tour to get the shit right. But Cardi B, she definitely was she was throwing that shit out there, you know what I mean? Now, Usher Tour was incredible, too. Which one did you go to?
Starting point is 00:39:01 Where they were... Residency. Vegas. Yeah, Vegas and here. I've always wanted to go to that one, but I haven't got a chance. Are you going to show up to? to Chris Brown usher talk?
Starting point is 00:39:11 I sure will. That's the way you got to, I got to go. Yeah, that's good. You're not going to that shit, man. You're going to tell me when I'm going to. I'm going to drink 1800 at that motherfucker too. No, I get drunk on shit like that. Like, like Chris Brown talk.
Starting point is 00:39:27 We go to Mary. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I went to the first. Thank God I was going to have my ticket and everything, but, you know, four shows came up at the F-1. I got going over there.
Starting point is 00:39:41 You seen it perhaps. Little Cadillac, little carbone, little there. I got to go get the bag. Man, nobody else paying these fucking bills, man. And yo, these bills keep coming. Holy. They do? But bills don't take a break, huh?
Starting point is 00:39:56 Oh, ever, especially in this. Are you fiscally conscious? Like, you look like you watch. I actually am because guess who is my accountant's, my mother? My mom is my accountant since 1997. It's four of us his accountant. You both have something out of town. So look.
Starting point is 00:40:15 My mom's advice to me has always been lived below my means. And oh my goodness, as an artist, of course that's hard because you always got, you have to make the investment. Always. And then the independent game is completely different. It's all on you, right, unless you have an investor or whatever. I haven't even allowed anybody to invest in it. You know, that comes with other things. So it's just all me.
Starting point is 00:40:39 But I've been so blessed to have her in my corner watching the numbers. She puts me in shit when I want to say, okay, I've got to make this investment. Or can I do this for this person? No, you can't. No, not right now. Or, yeah, you can take a break right now if you want for the rest of the year. So she'll be the voice of reason before I make some big decisions or when I can make those big decisions. and that keeps me aware.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Yeah. But I always have been like this. Living right here below my means, so I don't ever get in too much debt. And, you know, I'm not a man either. You know what I'm saying? What does that mean? Meaning with being a man comes with the expectation
Starting point is 00:41:25 of taking care of everybody. You see what I'm saying? Would you take care of guys? There's some lady mans out here, too. Lady men. Absolutely. I mean, like, I keep meeting that fucking cold. I know my whole crew consists of women that are bosses.
Starting point is 00:41:42 It's not as present. No, no, it's right. In society. It's changed. Women are making more money in their higher places these days. Oh, yes, absolutely. But the expectation is not for the woman to carry it all the time. I want a woman to buy me.
Starting point is 00:41:56 If I do it, if I could come back, when I come back to Earth next time, I'm going to be a gold digging man. I'm going to give me an old bitch to pay my bills. I don't give a fuck. I'm opening the door for them and all that shit and carry the burkin. Steadman. I'm steadman.
Starting point is 00:42:14 You're going to need to step out of you. You think of, man, I'll be stepping in one second. You fucking, your gal, where you at, girl? I don't got, I bet. Do you need a vacation? Huh? You sound like you do. No, I don't need a vacation.
Starting point is 00:42:30 I just deal with reality. and this shit is crazy. I know a guy. I have a friend. Who? She's a billionaire. We're on her yacht. She had a boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Nice young, handsome guy. He had a couple of fucking businesses. He wasn't no bum. And we're on the boat one time. The way it works is if I'm myest friend and you introduce me to your boyfriend, Tyrone or something, I'm still Myers friend. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:42:58 That's just the way I've always been. So the guy sits down, crack, let me holler at you. I said, man, you know, I'm intimidated. She pays for everything. She this and this. I'm looking at that motherfucker. And the guy calling me is like, man, you better
Starting point is 00:43:13 fucking marry this bitch right now. Fuck wrong with you, nigga, but I can't cross the DNA. The DNA says, I'm her friend. I'm like, my eyes is looking like, point them shit's popping out. They said, I want to tell them so fast. You're one of you great.
Starting point is 00:43:31 She broke up. up with him, she got married in six months. Oh. Now you're when you need to check on them. Yeah, yeah, that ain't like this. That ain't got Tourette and all that shit. They're moving like this. He's like, but
Starting point is 00:43:45 it's nothing wrong with a woman being more successful than a man. You know, especially if they- When they share a little, perhaps. Yeah, when a woman, perhaps when I have a joint account or something, I'm down with it. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:44:00 Perhaps. Put me on it. Well, it's a lot more men, right? It's a lot more, I think, without saying names, it's a lot more men gold diggers these days than it ever was before. Like, men are getting married, men are divorced in the accent for half the shit. It's this, that, I can tell you, that's one thing I wouldn't do.
Starting point is 00:44:22 That means a lot of more ladies kicked up. Yeah, but. But what? Not, that's not how I was raised. So. She just told us. the typical way of the world is men supposed to
Starting point is 00:44:35 make the money and take it to anybody. Not supposed to what is an expectation. Why are they suing the woman? Why are trying to get half the money? Because the women nowadays are making more money. You just said it. You know what I like, Maya,
Starting point is 00:44:49 and you ain't got to agree with me. Well, I don't like one time the shit was going on with the divorce and I watched six men, six fucking men that work every day on the podcast. I ought to took her for the money. Yo, I need that paper.
Starting point is 00:45:06 She's about the day. I'm like, what the fuck. I don't know what he's talking about. I don't know. I'm out of it. No, no, I'm telling you to. Oh, so you'll take the money. No.
Starting point is 00:45:16 If you was going with Gail or Oprah. No, I can't. Listen, did you have any head? The man's the hunter. The man's their provider. Provided. Did you ever hear his statement? Say anything.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Complaint. No, I fuck with step. I don't, but he didn't do what we're talking about. Stedman, there's nothing wrong with that. By myself, enjoying the lake. Not saying that, I'm saying that nowadays, when you have a woman getting divorced with a man, and the man are fucking rap stars and shit.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Like, million there rap stars, and they're doing the woman. Hold on. What type of shit is going on? In today's time, a man can get embarrassed. I saw that shit in Dubai. My man's in Dubai, tell me. They'll cut the man's arm off. in the Middle East
Starting point is 00:46:01 asking a woman for the paper. Like, ask it for the paper. I watch six grown men talking about. I would get it for the money. Yo, I'm suing. Yo, I need some of the...
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yo, Nick, you are man. All right. So is this okay to give half of your fortune? I don't think it's right either way, but I think if you were a woman and you divorce and you've been with some time,
Starting point is 00:46:22 can't go off. What's wrong? Give her some M's. I'm not mad at that. What about vice versa? You mad at that? A man asking a woman for my woman for my husband?
Starting point is 00:46:30 That's crazy to me. Saying the same thing in reverse. It's not this. It is crazy to me for a man asking a woman for money. I think every situation. I think every situation is different. And then we might be talking about people that are not real adults anyways. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:46:54 It could be out of spite. I don't know if they have kids. Spite could be it. I think it's the ego. I think it might be. pride. You know, so. Oh, no, it ain't no pride in the guy.
Starting point is 00:47:04 It ain't no pride in the guy. Let me tell you guys, it ain't no pride in the guy suing the girl for some money. They ain't no pride in it. That's not it. If a divorce is filed. If they got caught. It can be a lot of problems.
Starting point is 00:47:17 These devices right here is much worse than back in the day. You can make a man feel like a smurf. I don't know. I just told you earlier, I would get with a rich woman that while I'm with her, she could buy me whatever the fuck she wants. Matter of fact, I want a diamond the size of a dinosaur.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I'll take everything. I'm talking about the current status of guys getting divorced with a woman, and they're acting like, they got to get paid. I'm from when my father had three jobs. There's nowhere written
Starting point is 00:47:52 that you can't be taken care of. It's just in stone that when some go wrong, the men take all my money. No. I'm not all the way of green, man. I'm not all the way dissenting me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:08 To me, it's pretty weird. Me being a man who has sacrificed and worked my whole life for my family to see six grown men on the podcast. Talking about how they're going to sue a girl and take her money and this and this and that. I'm on my second guy. I'm drinking water now.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Thank you, man. Sky Rizzi. Don't give no more these shit. Sorry. You see this. It's going back to back, Pellegrino. dying pets, he don't know what he won his system. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I can't do it. You know, people don't realize it's really, really hard to be an independent artist, but when you win as an independent artist and you really win. And so it's hard as
Starting point is 00:48:51 good that you said your mom knows how to manage books because I don't know how to manage shit. But I win independently. You know, I win all the time. But, huh? I can't take. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:49:06 I'm crazy, man. I just told you the other day, I went broke three times. I don't give a fuck. I'm on this earth one time, guys. Yeah. And I'm a motherfucker ball to the shit is over. I'm a fucking ball. I'm going to buy me a fiscal watch right after this motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:49:24 I don't give a fuck. Course side, everything. Everything. I don't give a fuck. I don't care. Nobody worked for it. Nobody got it for me. I work for it.
Starting point is 00:49:35 I want to live good. When my daughter looks great, I love it. With my wife, my family look great, I love it. When my people drive fancy cars, I love it. When I just, I love the shit. I don't give a, I love the shit. I'm addicted to the shit. I pay my taxes.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Oh, we'll do it. But I'm addicted to the shit. No, because it ain't nothing fiscal about me. What about mine? My is the shit. My ain't don't give a fucking. My dad is very much like you. Smart guy.
Starting point is 00:50:09 He's independent. He likes nice things. He's into cars. He's right there, by the way. And he looks young. And he's young. His spirit. Pop is not vegan, but you can rewind the time
Starting point is 00:50:26 whenever you want that C. Yes. to silence. Hey, why fight the time when you can rewind the time? He does what he wants to do. You see? You buy what he wants to do. He goes what he wants to go. Next week, he might slip on a banana pit.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Yeah. How about this, Pop, that's too easy. Steak and lock, you're vegan two pops? Hell no, right? You're going to eat that shit. Come on, man. That shit crazy. That being your shit, huh?
Starting point is 00:51:01 I tried it. You tried it, right? I tried it for four hours. It was over. Cardboard records. First, it was three. Those two. It's out of love.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Anyway, I say that to say that my dad is independent spirit. I've watched Jim Grime my entire life. I'm talking about multiple jobs at once. That's right. Because family was important. But he also likes nice things. He's going to live how he wants to live. if he's going to eat what he can eat.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Man looking like Billy Williams over there now. He already rewinded in the time. Facts. And he does what he loves to do, which is why he looks the way he looks. You know what I'm saying? But nobody's going to tell him to do anything that he does not want to do.
Starting point is 00:51:45 And he's not going to die on an empty stomach. That's what he says. When I try to get him to eat healthy. No, I want to go out of this world with a full stomach and a happy one, right? But out of life. love are coming. I heard y'all talking about
Starting point is 00:52:02 veganism and I'm not doing this and I'm not doing that. But he's trying, right? And it's because, you know, I care about my dad. I care about my family. That's right. But he's stubborn because he likes the things that he likes and he's going to do what he wants to do what he wants to do it.
Starting point is 00:52:18 And it's as simple as that. So I understand everything that you're saying. And he likes when his daughter is happy. Guess what? And protected. The fans want you to live great. They love you. They want you to do whatever you want to do.
Starting point is 00:52:35 That's your fans. Like, it's like, yo, I'm... They do. I just got to keep making money, God. Please let me keep making money. So I can keep enjoying this shit. I just love it. Joe and Jada Show.com.

Starting point is 00:56:58 They're not hating on nobody. My thing is the other day I'm in Miami, I'm making you turn. I parked the car. Shit like a boat. That's how big that bitch is, right? But I parked that shit. It's so perfect.
Starting point is 00:57:10 That shit came back. Boom. I thought they was going to give me a ward. I'm looking at all the comments. Somebody filmed me, oh, he's the worst driver ever lived. This, not a bump. That shit was like Emirates Airline.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Be smooth as shit. I parked that car. I realized, can't win. Can't. You could win. When you win, and technically... You already won. You won.
Starting point is 00:57:34 That's why you can't. You winning. But they try to make you think that's what I do. when they do all these lists and all that, like who's top 10, who's this. They try to make you feel. Like, you know, they do,
Starting point is 00:57:48 they try to make you feel like you ain't the top spot. But, you know, the algorithm is energy. And I know energy. And so, like, Joe and Jada, we only been around one year.

Like, you know, you got to respect her as a woman and not play with her. Like, you play with her. Like, you play with her. Like, you play. with other people. She just always, even since she was young, to me, she's always had that aura about her that, you know, yo, say, hey, Maya, how are you? Everything's great.
Starting point is 00:58:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep her pushing. Because she's all about respect. You know, you don't let a guy think they could disrespect you or come at you in a certain way. Even though some full of shit guys anywhere, they fucking don't give a fuck. There's some guys like that, you know? No.
Starting point is 00:59:07 you know. What's the, what, what's the toast? The guy said to us down today, you know, let me tell you say you ain't shit. Y'all, Jada can say, shit. You ain't shit. The hat is nice. Yo, Jada is crazy.

And Shaggy shows up and hooked his shit up. And every song I did, he did a song, he did a song. He, like, battled me on stage at Central Play for no reason. He just showed up, Joe, what's up. I'm friends with Shaggy.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Then he came up there to battle me. For the song for song, song, song for something. I'm like, yo, it wasn't me.

Starting point is 01:10:22 all partied from the specific era in late 70s into the 80s. And then midway through number sevens, ain't another. But the current single is featuring too short, called Just a Little Bit. I like that, I like him as a rapper. Join his, John Lucas, he's dumb nice.
