In the country, when you get you,
when you're in the town, like a small town,

He didn't get stabbed.

And right now you on the real report
with one of the most funniest
comedians in the world, nostalgia,

Make sure y'all go see that.
We with Country Wayne, baby.
Make some noise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, appreciate y'all, man.
Yo, Country, I never knew.
How does Philadelphia be in New York?
Because I know you come from a city
with the capacity, 3,000 people?
Yeah, yeah.
When I come to New York, though,
it feels like, it kind of feel like a home away from home,
though, because I always got along with up north people.
Like when New York used to come to the high school and all that,
you know, move from New York,
come to the school.
So it was just like, you know,
it just feel like you come in,
visit your cousins that used to stay outside.
That's what you feel like?
Well, right, word.
Because what's the name of your town?
Millen, Georgia.
Shout to Mill and Georgia.
Yeah, one red light with two red lights.
That's crazy.
Two red lights?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
So you made it a long way, bro.
I was watching one of your interviews and you was talking about you just was in the projects
in 2012, man.
Yeah.
Talk about your journey to being on a big stage now, nostalgia, crazy.
Atlanta was, went crazy for you.
I don't know the capacity of the crowd, but the crowd was packed in there.
About on, we did like on two shows, two shows like 2,000 people apiece.
Right.
That's great.
It's great.
Yeah.
Man, it feels good, man.
Just coming from, you know, just coming from where we come from.
It's the same story y'all got just coming from the hood and up here.
When you hit these levels, it kind of still don't feel real.
Because you feel like it could be took it from you.
It's like, man, this still don't feel real.
Still feel like a dream.
How you come up with this soap opera shit on YouTube, bro?
Like what?
How do you find the people?
because, you know, I'm like, are they actors?
Like, what's the process of that?
Because I see your numbers on YouTube
and I see what you do and I see like everybody loves that.
And I love it too.
I started watching a lot of them, clip after clip after clip.
What made you think of that?
Man, it was really on one day.
I used to be funny on social media.
So, you know, I started out with the funny video.
But then I was like, man, if I keep being funny,
I'm going to have to stay in front of the camera.
You know what I'm saying?
So I was like, so I was Googling one night,
all the comedy movies.
and comedy don't make that much like people think.
The drama and soap operas lasted longer.
So I was like, man, let me go ahead and switch it.
I switched it up one day.
And I started telling the storylines of heartbreaks
and how women feel and how men feel.
And that was when I was able to move out of the spotlight
and get behind the camera.
And I was like, shoot, okay, now I could maneuver around
and get back to hustling, why this deal going on.
And that's when I started, hey, reaching out the more actors,
hey, man, put this.
I need this character for this.
I need this character for this.
Go get this.
Okay, you start producing your storyline.
I'm going to get you hot.
Then you go start producing yours.
And I went from dropping like three skits a day now,
dropping like 40 skits a day on Facebook and YouTube.
Yeah, definitely.
Four of these skits a day.
Yeah, I'd be seeing them back to back.
Crazy.
I remember I watched one episode when dude's moms found the 40,000.
Yeah, yeah.
His girl had 40,000 hitting or something.
See, I don't even know everybody who's on the page.
That's on.
Shout out the dayline.
I think that's probably Daly's storyline.
I see, I watched some of the stuff on the pages, I don't even know.
Like some of the people on my page, I don't even know.
I just know the producer.
Then, you know, they set up, you know, it's just like the hood.
You know, they settle, they trout.
You get your work from where you get it from.
You know what I'm saying?
Nah, you get them a trout.
You set up your trout.
You serve, you know, you pay your people.
Everybody get a 10-99 and all that.
And it just, I just kept going with it.
And mind you, you got over half a million subscribers on YouTube.
Make some noise for that.
Oh, that's fine.
Okay.
You know what?
You know what I mean?
No, no.
Especially to have them engaged like that, because, you know, I'm telling that on the stories
every day.
So, you know, I ain't really given them the comedy no more.
So they're a real engaged audience.
And like we got living me, you know, Facebook, Facebook the main channel for real.
Yeah, because your crowd is the aunties, you said.
Oh yeah, I got one to you, man.
I ain't stuck, I ain't stuck in other crowd.
Talk about the internet, because I heard you talk about the internet versus real fans.
Like you're not really internet.
Like you, you, you, you,
Nah, the internet, like, the internet just, uh,
it's a pathway to go get your people
that you would have got in real life anyway.
Whoever was rocking with you in high school,
whoever you vibe you is, when you hit the internet,
that's who really gonna rock with you anyway,
who gonna stick with you.
So a lot of people got fed,
but they gotta find a way to get,
people who really gonna stick with them.
So when I meet people, like, when I meet y'all,
I already don't met y'all.
I met y'all in my hometown somewhere.
So you're gonna run across the same people,
the same people because you know who you were
with the high school when you was in the streets.
So the internet is just a bigger version
and you just could connect with people that you was connecting with anyway,
your type of people all around the world.
So I always looked at it as that and knew that.
I think people messed up trying to get everybody.
And I ain't aiming at everybody.
I'm like, man, I'm aiming at the people that I know
and I know who I'm talking to.
I know somebody gonna feel me whether they're in New York or Mississippi.
Now from doing skits, right?
Like from how you was doing it on the gram and all that,
than doing stand-up.
Because I know you was comfortable on the phone camera,
but it's different doing that shit in front of a bunch of people.
Like, how did you make that transition?
And was you comfortable doing that shit like that?
Let me tell you something, man.
Hey, when you sell a dope and you get a legit opportunity.
Man, I ain't care.
You know, I was like, I was still in the streets.
Gotcha.
So, you know, my residue is still on my fingernail.
So was that true what you said?
And, like, yo, your uncle and everybody got hot,
Like your fam got hot
and you were like, man, I'm out of here.
Oh, yeah.
The day I quit, me and my daddy were selling dope together.
That's funny.
Some of me, my pops, you know, shout out of the pops.
And the day I quit, you know what I said?
Because me and him, you just go half on the work.
I say, Puck.
My man's corp.
I said, man.
I said, man.
He, y'all, the day I quit, I said Pops, I see him on the other side.
Because I had got viral, but I wasn't getting shows like that.
Got you.
So me and my daddy, we kept hustling.
I had some nightclubs.
And I told Paws, I said, man, I'm legit.
I said, I got the clothes running and I just coming to thing.
The day I quit, the next day the feds came to the house.
And the fed, they knocked on the door.
I was on the way to a show in Bronzewood, Georgia.
And I heard a boom, boom, boom.
I knew that knock, you know what I'm saying?
You know that now.
And my brother, I said, who that is?
He said, man, he said, man, it's the FBI.
I said, they don't got me.
I say, but at least I'm legit now.
I'm famous online.
I have some T-shirts or something.
I pull the Yale.
You feel what I'm saying?
Hey, I'm like, at least I'm known now, because, you know, when you go to prison, when you ain't known, you're like, you got to come back and I say, well, country, Wayne, when I come out, I'll be hot.
I say, I'll probably find to get a traffic and charge, do about five years, get 10, five years, I'm for a role.
But when I got to the door, they were like, oh, you, DeWay and Coler, I was like, yo, I was about put my hand by my back.
They said, well, we're looking for your dad at Benson, Colie.
I said, thank you, Jesus.
Yeah, so I had like, I ain't know what that was that, but when they left, I called dad, I said.
man, they just came here and he had some charges.
But shout at the pops.
He'd be on the road with me now.
That's what's up, Bob.
He'd be at my house every day.
But, you know, my father's doing my OG.
You know what I'm saying?
My pops and Uncle them, they had it back in the 80s
when everybody was going to Florida to get it.
So I just was born into that lifestyle.
So when I go get back to your question,
to answer your question.
When standing up Kane, I ain't really had no fear
because I was more fearful of what I was doing.
So whatever this is, I remember one comedian,
Barbara Colley, she told me, she was like,
because she ain't know I was selling no.
And she was like, you need to go practice first for you.
You don't need to take it.
I said, they offered me, okay, first I weren't taking no money.
But they got, you know, I said, well, I got to try it.
You know, she was like, you should just stop.
I'm like, man, you don't know what's going on.
I'll rubble on stage before I get the blue lights for having me.
So I think me coming from the streets, I appreciated it more and I worked hard.
And I was just willing to take on a challenge.
And I knew I had more to talk about the most internet comments.
So I'm like, my shoe, yeah.
I ain't nobody else gonna beat because I got more to talk about.
Definitely.
I watch your material.
How does it feel when you put your family in there?
Because that shit, do be the crack.
Because how many kids you got?
I got 10.
God, damn.
Not like that.
Not like that.
You know.
You know, you know.
You know, you're not.
You know, like that.
You know, like.
You know, like.
Because I met Shorty Low.
When I met Shorty Low, I remember rest of peace, Shorty Low.
Rest of Peace, Shorty Low.
He weighed.
13?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's smart dude.
Yeah, that's my dog.
Rest of peace, surely low.
What happens is, like, when you up north and you hide in the streets, it's a bunch of y'all.
It might be, it might be, it might be, it might be like 20 dudes in that area that's hot.
In the country, when you get you, when you're in the town, like the small town, it's only one way.
So, I was talking to a girl, shout out I used to talk to, I didn't talk to some high school.
That father got in touch with her.
And she brought that up.
Like, because brother were like, why you ain't never lock it in with one?
And she said, we was all alone.
It was just one.
So it's like in the country, if you hide in the streets, like the world is yours.
Oh, so that's like Boosey too.
Like Boosey.
Like you get hot.
It's only one of you versus uphill, man.
Y'all got so many people.
It's so big, like New York.
Yeah, no, yeah.
New York, I don't know.
I don't think y'all realize how big it is because y'all be in it.
Right.
But it's like the money and everything, man, is here.
It's like this one area, bro.
You would be hot in the North.
right in New York and you'd be like,
oh, we ain't here, but they don't even need the South
once they get the South, when we get hired,
we kind of need everybody, do I'm saying?
Definitely.
But no, it's just, when you're in that South, man,
and you're in those country times,
you can rush around and get that, all the Coochior.
That shit, you'd be wondering, like,
how a nigga got 10 kids?
But how is it managing 10 kids, man?
Man, it's something, man, but,
something, man. But the end of the day, I had seven of them before I got famous.
Okay. Okay.
So, you know, we was already rocking. I was able to spend a lot of time.
And, man, you know, we all just, I'm a country boy. So once the paper came, the legit
paper, man, it became something I really wanted. I hate that. I had to be like the way
it happened with different baby mamas or whatever. But I'm going to be honest, it's the most
beautiful thing. Like, me and my son, me and my daughters and big family, my sisters, my nieces,
my nephews, they all be at my house, everybody stay right around me.
So it's like, shoot, it's either dad or keep buying Ferraris.
You know what I'm saying?
For Robbins.
For Robbins, 700.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, you know, uh...
Think you gonna have more kids?
No, about that, boy.
I ain't trying to have.
I ain't trying to have.
He's rich, but he's busy.
He's too busy right now.
I'm just saying, man.
I ain't, man.
I ain't trying to have no kids.
Okay, okay.
Heck no.
And I don't advise nobody to have none.
Oh, man, damn.
Once you got a kid, man, that's-
Things change.
How do you remember all the names, though?
Name all your kids' names.
Man, Tony Tamar Malaya, Christiana,
Hold on, slow down, you're going fast, man.
Name all of them.
Tony, Tamar, Alea, Christiana, Taylor,
Taylor, Malia, Zarya, Melissa,
And Jonas and Kiomi.
Sound like a whole bunch of girls.
You wasn't lying about Honest and Christian.
Oh, no, no, no.
I thought you was just joking.
Honest is the one.
Honest, he mentioned them in the show.
That's why.
So I think, I was going to tell you, I'm not.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
That's what's next?
I know you did Netflix, something with Netflix.
I did Netflix.
Talk about that.
2023.
I did Netflix 2023.
That special drop.
And, you know, it kind of got me this special.
You know, because being from social media, dropping a special was big because there's
never dropped no special.
Because, you know, it's out there, social media people can't do stand-up.
So I took on that challenge and was like, I'm here.
So it's whatever.
And that opened the doors for me to do this one and to be in that game with a stand-up game
or getting special opportunities.
Definitely.
You made me a believer with this one because I didn't think the social media guys live in that world, too.
You know, social media is one thing, but then you try to take it there and really
entertain people like that?
I think, I think social media, I'm not going to lie.
Then when I put my people in there, like, yo, nah, I've been fucking with son.
Son, got it.
But I was surprised.
I'm not going to even lie.
Like, no, I appreciate it.
But what I'm saying, I think social media better the game.
Like, when you look at Wayne, Drewski, Dezzie, like, everybody know who they are because
it's kind of like social media too.
Instead of just going to do that stand-up comedy is different.
Oh, now that's different.
That's not a lot of social media comedians probably ain't going to never,
they ain't going to never do no special because to be honest,
I just feel like I had, oh, but it's some funny comedians out there, man.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just a lot of people, it takes time and energy.
And I had an edge because I got the subject matter.
I had got all the kids and I live life.
Definitely.
Definitely.
So it's like, the do stand-up, you can't just be funny.
You got to have something to talk about.
And I learned that through day.
and Chris Rock then, because when I heard Chris Rock was like,
it don't supposed to be a Pelt rally.
I was like, I'm thinking, death jam was, you're supposed to do that all night to the audience.
But when I understood Chris Rock, then Dave Chappelle talking about, oh, to grow and to get
the audience, you know, the other audience that really got the money.
Now, if you want that audience who ain't really got that paper.
Fly by night.
You do that all night.
But to have that audience that grow with you, you got to have a subject matter and you
got to have them to talk, but still bringing the joke, bring the joke around.
They want to see it creatively done.
I'm like, oh, okay.
So I understood why Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle
them got to where they at.
But, no, that's stand-up a different game.
But social media comedians open up the way
for another way for comedians to get money.
Of course.
You know, without television.
Everybody was really, back in the day,
was waiting to get on TV to get some paper.
So it did do that.
But at the same time,
you got to respect stand-up comedians
because that's a different ball game.
I just was able to, I was able to do both.
So, you know, it keeps me in a good position
because I want to pin on this and I want to depend on that.
So it kept me in the position, but I'm going to go get it either way.
But what's you doing on YouTube?
Do you think about making, like, a movie?
Because I see your vision as like a 50.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you got clips 20,000, 50,000 different clips due to day on your YouTube
and everybody's eating this shit up and it's relationship-based.
So I feel like I'm watching.
I did a movie.
It ain't dropped yet, but I did an independent movie.
With me, Coco Jones, Loretta Devine, and a lot more others.
I did a movie called Dad's Herd.
Oh, okay.
You know what I'm saying?
So I put my own money up and it's high quality for real.
Like the quality is gonna shock everybody.
And it was real grounded comedy.
Y'all, I did like the Harry Met Sally, you know, I ain't do the, like, it ain't like
the company that people are going to spit from me.
It's real grounded, laid back, smooth, but, yeah, that's what I'm doing, you know, put my own money up,
because that's what we come from.
And that's the only way you keep your freedom.
So shout out to everybody, like you say, 50,
Jay-Z, all the hustles who put their own money up
because that's the only way in this game, for real.
Because even though I make money on Facebook and YouTube,
they can take that stuff when they feel like it.
They go up and down on the CPMs, and I'm like,
bro, I already know.
I put it.
Like, on Facebook, I get over a billion views.
You know what I'm saying?
One month, it might be this amount of money
and this money as money is that amount of money.
So y'all playing with the game.
It's just like playing with the dope industry.
You know, the plug go gambler too much.
All of a sudden, it ain't coming back the same.
Whatever you don't did, man.
Now all of a sudden it stepped on and ain't coming back the same.
But the plug will make sure.
It's wet, way.
Yeah.
So, you know, you got to put up your own money
and start your own platforms in this game.
And that's my next step is to get my own platform and network
because they play games out here, man.
We ready.
We ready for you, man.
Because I remember you saying you've never been in a major film.
I don't see why.
You're funny and in a lot of niggins.
Yeah, but what it was with me, though, you know, I'm not out there like everybody.
I got my own audience.
And I don't really play the Hollywood game the same.
And when you don't play that game, people can feel it before they meet you.
Right.
So people don't really reach out to you the same if you ain't got that warming.
But I am, like, I'm in New York, you know what I'm saying?
All of a sudden, you know what I'm saying, I'm on y'all podcast.
You feel what I'm saying?
Right.
Because you're going to run across them real ones.
The real report.
You're going to run across the real ones.
You're going to run across the real ones.
And if you don't play that Hollywood game for real where you're like all friendly and the game
ain't going to miss with you.
But I appreciate them not doing that because it allowed me to get in the space I am
because they're right.
I ain't going to do certain stuff.
I don't care if it was a billion.
on the table, man.
At certain, it's like, at some point,
their integrity is going to kick in.
Like, bro, I ain't doing that.
And they ain't about the money.
And people who really like that in the game,
it really don't get approached the same anyway.
So a lot of opportunities had to go create on my own
because they ain't really going to come to you
unless you're going to treat them a certain type of way.
Like, if you bring my opportunity,
hey, I'm going to put my work in you.
I appreciate it, though.
But I ain't going to do nothing extra and be like,
make you feel like this and that.
And in the room,
like, bro, I ain't got the energy.
I ain't good.
I ain't good at that part of the game.
Right.
Kissing ass, brown-knows.
No, no.
I won't put nobody in a position to do me like that.
Because God don't even make us buy down to him.
He don't tell us to buy down like that.
That's a choice to buy down.
So, like, man, in a day, we all putting our gifts and talos and minds together.
Let's just get it.
It's different for you.
You're so dope with your family.
Your pop.
So the family's down there.
It's not only street, nigger.
It's brand of operation.
I like how you said when they say, yo, man.
And you know, just be low, maybe.
You said, I ain't got to be low, y'all.
Y'all niggas just don't tell on me, man.
Yeah.
I don't got to get low, d'all.
Y'all just don't tell.
No, nostalgia.
If you haven't seen it, y'all go to Amazon proud.
This motherfucker is funny.
This is hilarious.
Like, real talk.
Because I feel like some comedians just got good management.
I don't want to say no names.
I think it's not funny.
Yeah, it's the talk of New York.
Tony Ayo.
And this the boy Lair Jed Lennie.
Whoa!
And right now we represent Baskin Lava, Black On, one of my best.
products that I love to use is the beard grow

Whoa!
Yeah!
Like, name your top five, because I always on a real port, your top five comedians.
My top five comedians all the time?
Yeah.
Well, you got it.
to Murphy, I'm gonna put the Kings and Comedy in one batch because what they did was special
together.
Right.
You got, man, I got to throw Kevin hard enough because he was funny.
You know what I mean?
He's still funny to this day.
This is his time.
Like this is his time period.
Yeah.
And then he had it for a long time.
So when people do that, bro, you can't really omit that.
And Cat Williams for sure.
And then I'm gonna go.
And then I'm gonna go to Mike Lips.
Now none of them in the game and understood.
and learn different.
Shout out the mic.
I went to like Dei Chappelle and Chris Rock.
I understood now.
Oh, I went to one of the day Chappelle shows and I remember a comedian was like, man, he
really made me laugh.
I said, he made nobody laugh like that all night.
But he's the best comedian I ever seen because now that I'm a comedian, I understood why
Dave Chappelle a monster.
I was like, ooh.
So it's different, like I got a different mindset by all of them legends that I just named was the
ones that when I was in the streets I was watching, they got me to a certain point.
But now that I'm here, I was.
I'm here, I watch another, I watch everybody, I watch Dave Chappelle, I watch Chris Rock,
I watch Bill Bird, you know what I'm saying?
I'm watching Nate Pagascar right now.
It's like, oh, you have more respect for the game.
And I think comedy will come in the mess up at.
I always say no game would be bigger than the NBA because one thing by NBA players,
even if they don't like each other, they keep it real about another.
Nah, that's your go-hoot.
Yeah.
God darned in the comedy game, it's like whoever you cool with, you know what I'm saying?
I'm like, sometimes you just got to keep a G.
Like, no, that person, but all the comedians funny, man.
I don't know.
I'm the only comedian that be like, man, every comedian funny is they timing,
but everybody can't go on state, it's subject matter.
So it's like, if I'm talking about the streets, y'all going to be like, man, why ain't funny?
But it's going to be somebody over there and be like, man, that junk, man, ain't funny, yeah,
because you can't relate.
Right, right.
And a lot of other stuff, man, I can't relate to.
So it was like, but I still see the timing in it.
It's like, surgery matters.
I'm like, bro, that ain't, that ain't what I, what you talk about?
Politics, I don't get it.
Because I'm like, bro, when you're from the streets, we got so much trying to figure out at home.
Man, I don't know who the president.
I don't know who the president.
Man, I don't even know who the vice president is right now, man, sometimes.
I'd be like, man, if I had to put my life on it.
Yeah, I don't know that.
I don't know who the vice president is.
Because, but to somebody else when you go talk about politics,
they be hitting in them like,
but that ain't my cup of tea,
but then if I talk about women and kids
and being a player and keeping the G,
they said, oh, I got all that shit for you.
Yeah, I'm that guy.
I can write a book.
So a lot of comedians, a lot of comedians think
I ain't funny, but a lot of comedians just ain't
grow up the way I grew up.
The average comedian ain't grew up
the way I grew up anyway.
So I'm like, I know my audience, bro.
I know my audience.
Definitely, bro.
I can tell you, I can tell y'all,
and y'all family up.
I can make y'all laugh.
Oh, no, of course.
I watch the nostalgia, that's crazy.
But it's just like, when it's kind of comedy, man,
it's all about that subject matter.
And everybody got to choose their subject.
And don't worry about who don't think you funny.
You know, and that why Tyler Perry got away he was at,
because he's like, whoever I think this was good,
I know who in the South, we connected to that.
Right.
We got Big Mama there.
We got, get out of the guy, they're important,
sit around across your head.
So it's like, for everybody's like, man, I don't,
it's like New York.
A person be like, oh,
up north, then the person down side might not feel that.
A person down south, because it's such a matter where you're from or who you know.
And then-
You relate to certain shit more.
You relate to certain stuff more.
And then it just be like, oh, okay, you still see the timing and respect the timing.
But that stage is a different beast.
I'm glad it's hard, though, because it's one thing about a comedian.
Once you become a comedian and you can go on stage, you can go get it forever.
Damn.
Everybody ain't covered in the stage.
You think it feels like, because you know when we do a show, like, say we do a show with 50 years,
It's a crowd out there.
You know, you get a little nervous, like, oh, shit.
It's crazy out of here.
Crowd.
Make sure you're gonna fall.
You know, use the bathroom.
Because you know, nigger, before we do a show, I gotta take a shit every time.
You know what I'm saying?
I got it.
I got it.
Because if you up there for two hours, like, what's the process?
Because what I'm, my process is, y'all got to relax for a minute, stretch a little bit,
make sure I take a shit.
Don't eat nothing crazy.
Don't mean?
Take it easy on the liquor.
Don't forget to the man thing.
My boy always says prayers before we hit this.
Yeah.
My boy was serious with that.
What is your thought process?
Same thing, man.
I don't eat nothing.
I don't eat nothing too heavy.
And I pray.
I pray before I go on that stage and all.
And because it's different.
Because with the music, you got that, one thing about it, you got that beat with you.
Music is hard.
Y'all gets help.
Y'all got help, nigga.
Yeah.
With music, man, it's hard to bomb because it's like you still got that beat.
When you got that comedy, man, it ain't nobody but you.
And when you do music, they want to hear your song that you saw in last year.
They're waiting for their shit to come on.
Want somebody hear a joke?
So like when that's special, that nostalgia special, I can't tell them jokes no one.
They're not going to laugh the same.
You're going to laugh the first time.
That's it.
Got you.
Definitely.
So a comedy is a different ball game, different beats.
You got to stay creative.
You got to keep.
Because, like if y'all go on tour, I want to hear, I want to hear the music, bro.
I want to hear it.
But I heard comics remix jokes.
They do.
They remix jokes.
Don't take other biggest jokes.
No, no, no, no.
They say the same jokes.
If you go to some shows, they're say the same jokes in multiple shows, but they might have
more material, but they'll remix some of the same jokes that was hitting.
Not when that shit on Netflix or something like that.
The rule is, though, but that's why most comedians won't drop a special.
Of course.
Better believe it.
Okay.
That's why when you drop a special, you get pushed to another level.
Got you.
Comedians know how hard it is.
So it's like a prestige thing.
it's like a secret in the comedy game.
The reason why Kevin Hart and Kat Williams
and Mike else don't know where they're at
and nobody can't really,
because social media people won't draw specials.
Because once you drop that special,
you got to come a whole new material.
You got to come home to that.
Like nostalgia on Amazon Pro,
make sure y'all watch that.
He can't use that again.
When the styles are dropped,
I had to go back on the road January,
work on new materials.
By the time people see me,
because this week, I got to go to Nashville.
Man, they don't want to hear that.
They don't want to hear none of them jokes.
Gotcha.
And you got to come up with new jokes
so most people play and say,
I ain't doing no special.
So I'd rather go to do 20 minutes.
I'd rather do 20 minutes on the package show.
You know what I mean?
Because about tell these jokes,
you probably ain't remember them last year.
But if you've seen it on TV,
you're going to remember it.
And sometimes...
Man, this nigga doing this shit again, man.
Exactly.
So that's the hardest thing in coming in.
You can't do that.
You can say the same rap again.
Yeah.
But you can't say the same jokes again.
Because you see the setup.
I went to my sister house and blah,
I know he ain't fin to go to this.
Same as joke.
It's just a boyfriend comes to the dope.
So it's like, man, with comedy, that's the prestige of it.
That's why Cat Williams is where he at.
And that's why when you get big, they stay big forever.
Because Cat don't gave you hour after hour after hour.
Cape my heart don't gave you hour after hour.
Mike else, hour after hour after hour.
Dave Chappelle, hour after hour.
And when it comes to social media, country Wayne,
the only one that don't gave you hour an hour.
You know what I'm saying?
and they can say they want to say,
that's why I know the game.
It's like you got to drop them special.
You got to get rid of that material.
And then you got to go live.
You got to go live.
You got to get the relationships.
You got to go live your life to get new material
because it's like that's the only way
you're really going to get it.
Got to live this shit.
You got to live.
You got to experience this shit.
If you're on experience it,
the audience is going to feel that you're just talking.
You're going to sound like anybody else.
But the thing is with him on Merck is that he got the soap opera shit too, though.
So I'm like, when I look at him, I'm like, yo, this nigger could be the next Tyler Perry.
Not to put in comparison, but you see a lot of people going independent, like 50 doing
his own shit, Tyler Perry doing his own shit.
Kat Williams bought a studio in Alabama.
We waiting for him to do his own shit.
Like, and now you're doing your own shit.
Yeah.
That's, that's social media, bro.
Once I've seen it, this is how I looked at it, man.
I was like, everybody's phone in their face.
So I'm like, everybody ain't watching TV, you know what I'm saying?
So I put out enough of these, I don't see people in the trout,
have more get money just like the plug.
So I was like, so, you know, I ran it as social media.
To be honest, I ran it up to where it generates seven million, I mean, seven figures a month.
You know what I'm saying?
Not no seven million.
Don't start waiting outside for my nigga like, fuck that.
This is worth it, this is worth it, this worth it.
I ain't making no way.
That nigga said he's making seven million a month.
I ain't making no way to seven million a month.
You know what I'm saying?
But, you know, I generate the seven figures a month
because I figured out, man.
I'm like, I'm 38.
So I'm like the old generation.
But I got the Y-N generation in my mind
because I got no kids.
It's like, so I understood all the eyes really on social media.
TV really can't get as big as something who got momentum.
Because it ain't going to never, see, it ain't never come.
The hardest thing, I remember, I remember times.
I remember, I can tell you, every rapper run,
When they come to 50, I remember how they felt.
I know what it was when they was about to blow
because I got a good memory.
You remember when DVDs and stuff came.
Of course.
Right?
You think that stuff going back on, this only going to last you.
We wanted to go backwards because we fell in love with it.
But you got to admit when it's over.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like when 50 came, I was in on a girl named Lindel.
Shout out, Lennon, my baby mama cousin.
was in Connecticut.
Yeah, this guy out here.
And she came down south and Wainster came on.
I mean, she was saying it was about to come on Warner System Park or something.
This was before in the club.
I'm right?
Your Wainter was before in the club.
All right, check this.
So she kept telling us, oh, man, 50.
I'm like, man, why she keep hiking, you know?
We're from the Southway.
But she was on it so hard, right?
So it made us watch the video.
And I see his confidence in the video.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
And high school you was.
So that's what got me.
I'm like, okay.
So.
You can relate to that line like really.
Exactly.
They were in a club came.
You felt that wave and you would think,
oh, this wave is fitting to be over the way.
It might be able.
But that person is gone.
All those people make it.
You know what I'm saying?
Who really hit?
And it's like, that's where it's at with the gang now.
Everybody's waiting for it to go back to TV.
Bro, nobody's never sitting down in history again.
And watching that TV like,
was. It's on their cell phone. So what I did, I tried it out on the phone. I was doing verticals
before they did verticals. You know what I'm saying? Not everybody doing verticals. I'm like, bro,
I've been doing this. You know what I've been, you know, I got like, man, I got 14 producers
that's dropping skits and we should use these cell phones and we go around and get this storyline
and da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And it ain't never going back. So I think everybody
don't realize. When you realize that, it's like, oh, it is, damn, this is the new world.
Our kids.
Unters will watch a whole outfit on this phone.
I'm not in that mindset because I'm still OG.
Of course.
Of course.
So we'll think, let me get mad, put someone on that TV, man.
Something hit that phone.
Oh, they're on the iPads.
These kids waste care about the TV.
YouTube, shout to YouTube, shout to the real report, the volume,
shout to my man over here, you know what we're doing.
And I feel like YouTube just took over the game.
They took over the game.
And nobody don't want to sell it.
Like, I'm on Facebook and YouTube.
YouTube is really my side money.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm on Facebook.
So I stayed on Facebook, so I'm just the only one on Facebook.
I got to understand the fact.
Talk about the Facebook game.
I was just about to say that like, so you make a lot of money off of Facebook?
Yeah, 11 million subscribers.
Not saying it like that for Facebook.
Yeah.
I got you.
I got you.
Facebook is a way to make money.
Hey man, I dominate Facebook and Facebook don't even realize they're not getting no bigger.
Because they're trying to get more creators.
I'm like, bro, nobody ain't going back to Facebook.
And Facebook, because they even, though, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they
They got the old mindset.
They said, oh, we go get more country wins, bro.
You ain't get no more country wanes, though, because ain't nobody coming back to Facebook.
New York bit out Facebook.
The South even though I don't got our Facebook, I just stayed there because I'm like,
well, shoot, you know how those trails in the streets?
Everybody leave, like, well, I'm going to keep selling.
I'm going to keep selling powder.
I like your mentality.
I like your mentality.
Everybody on the new drugs, I'm going to keep selling powder because somebody, it's going to
always bought because they lie up.
You go in the bathroom.
They can hit it real quick.
Come right back, all of the other drugs.
You sit on those who they hit it.
They got to take a...
Hey, no, one thing about powder,
it ain't what it used to be out here.
But it's what they used to be.
But it's still out this motherfucker.
It's still out of this motherfucker.
So I stay on Facebook and social media got the guy
and it ain't going to the world.
Like, it'll never be a time that people are going back.
No more like Tyler...
They're looking at Tyler Perry.
Tyler Perry fans, man.
Man, they old.
You know what I'm saying?
So Tyler Perry got the older fans who stuck with it and just don't ain't going back.
But if you're in this new generation, dog, if you ain't doing what y'all doing at this right
now, all them TV shows and movies, man, only way you do make a movie jump is you own this.
Like when I drop that as her, it's because my fan, I'm going to be able to put it in my videos
and they were like, country way ain't got a movie.
Oh, it came out.
And then soon as that movie over, they're going right back.
That's her.
That's the fact.
He's the next one, murder, trust me.
He's never been like in a major.
film and I heard you talk about that.
That's what's next for him or doing his own films.
Because people love it.
Like, they love this guy.
So at the end of the day, like, say he was to put, that's her on Facebook, that shit
of sell.
Yeah.
The relationship shit is, that's what makes him different to me.
Like, he could talk about his kids.
He could talk about his baby moms.
I still hate my baby moms.
Like, it's just shit that's relatable.
But when you watch YouTube.
You said one of your sons is mad because you said, you planned on getting up, Boston.
Was he really mad at you?
Oh, you're hitting that.
He always asked like, Dad, man.
What made you want to bring that one out?
I'm just saying, this terrible before, we got to talk about it.
Yeah, he was like, Daddy, why you want to kill me?
Why ain't know you?
I didn't know what.
I was still trying to figure out life.
I was just trying to figure out of life, man.
Pags, back.
You're taking it personal, but you have.
That's hilarious.
But that's what stuff related everybody, bro.
Of course.
Relationships and stuff.
So that's what I stick to.
I stick to my relationship.
I mean, I ain't really the type of comedian that I stay on the same subject.
And the relationship stuff, it always worked.
Everything, relationships is always, it run the gang.
Women, oh man, women run this game, man.
Definitely do, man.
People, people, definitely do, man.
They never really fought over no money.
It don't be no, it's a girl in there somewhere.
It's something to, it's something.
Think about it.
When you go to a show, you're going because your girl wants to go.
You know what I'm saying?
You know.
That's been my drug.
And I'm going to be honest, that's why I ain't done no other drugs.
I was like, I'm already, a woman is the most, come on, man.
He said, that is my drug.
The woman is my drug.
Well, God created a woman.
He knew what he was doing.
Got you.
Got you.
Everybody tried, they don't made it so bad.
People try not to say that.
And I'm going to, man, come on, man.
You ain't lying.
Everything we do is for them.
Yeah, for them.
Everything.
Everything.
Everything.
Everything.
Your money, the jury, everything.
Everything.
Joke.
I ain't put it on.
Who you put it on for?
Because, man, women, bro.
So women, I stay on that subject.
And one thing about a woman, man, you get that all of it is.
You, you know what I'm saying?
You up there.
Even when people like, don't be knowing that I've got stuff going on,
it's like me to get Coco Jones in the movie, bro, that was just legendary.
Super dope and I love her news.
Talk about that's her, because I want to see it now.
Oh, that's her, man.
It's a love story about I'm playing a corporate guy.
And I'm kind of like, I ain't Wayne, no chance.
And Chan's kind of like, he ain't front of streets.
He kind of, you know, he's cornered to the streets.
They don't mean he corny, but he'll corporate guy.
Got to you.
And he in his world and this girl come.
And he like her, he fill her in her spirit, but it's his other girl, light skin, where he really be after.
Throw him off and he chasing her.
But the whole time, it was, it was, she was the right one for him.
But the name of the movie, that's her.
And he got to choose between them too.
It's Coco and another girl.
And I ain't gonna tell the whole story high end.
But I got Loretta the Vine in there.
I got Miss Pat.
You know what I'm saying?
I got Lou Young, got Ben the Dunn.
You know, I got a lot of other people.
But that's dropping.
When that's dropping.
I'm dropping that.
Okay.
We're dropping that shit.
We're waiting on that.
That's fire.
Independent film, I 100% financed myself through sag and everything.
Did it the right way.
The quality is gonna shock people.
And that's my game really with these movies.
And I just got a movie offer for something else we put together.
but that's a whole other situation I can't talk about.
But that's why I cut my beard.
But so really, so really right now, it's the movie game.
Got you, got you.
The movie game, what's the next step and just taking that thing from,
because whatever you sell on social media, that's the only thing going to sell.
Like, it's like, you don't want to go to Popeye's chicken and get some banana pudding.
And they can have the best banana pudding, but you're not going to want to want to do.
putting, but you're not going to want it from five-bye.
You don't see them yet.
So if you notice, whatever you sell to the audience on social media, that's what's
going to, that's what they want to see in the public.
So with me, since I don't be funny out there like that, before the pandemic, everywhere
you went, they'd be like, man, country way in funny, country way in funny.
The day I went on Shannon Sharp, I told my people, I said, I'm going to go on here and
talk about business, watch how I ship the culture, how they look at you.
How they look at you, that's what they want.
So when people find out I knew about business and stuff, it's like, it's hard to look
at him like, he ain't silly.
he tricked us.
Because when I was being silly, that was a character.
He'd know his shit.
Like he, oh, he, he, he-
That's right.
So you got to stay in the subject matter
of what you're selling on social media.
That's why 85-sive is so big,
because 85-scied on their sofa,
interviewing people,
and they took that show on stage.
If they would have took on stage
that we fin to go in here
and do a motivational speaking,
their fans know we want to see that.
Yeah, definitely.
So it's like, whatever, whatever you show on social media,
that's what they want.
So I have to stay on the relationship.
I had the relationship movie.
I wouldn't have to take no,
financial risk to do nothing else because if I fail, I'd rather fail what I know.
They're going out there trying to shoot a movie that ain't got nothing to do a relationship.
I got to stay on that subject, now, because that's my subject.
The relationships, that's my subject.
Do you got any relationship advice for anybody out with that?
Stay up.
Hey, I'm saying, in a relationship, bro.
Hey, it's a competition, stay up.
Ain't no woman going to ever love you like you think she loved you because it's too much out here to love.
too much out here to love.
And a woman with you-
Hold on, say that again.
Yeah.
Ain't no woman gonna ever love you like you think she loved you because it's too much out
here to love.
So a woman, sometimes man cheat on a woman with another woman a lot.
But a woman cheat on a man with the world.
So what I'm saying, like you could be a woman, you could be in a relationship with a woman.
But the end of the day, she's gonna look out the window because the window is on the phone
now.
It ain't even her fault.
It's more, it's like us going to the casino and gambling.
We wrote her a dice game.
We might, even though we don't lost dice so much.
We still attempt that, man.
Of course.
It's like, now they got gambling on the phone.
Of course.
Like, my brother, when they put gambling on the phone, I'm like, bro, he's over now.
It's over.
He can gambling on the phone.
He could bet on a game.
So if you just stay up, no matter what you, no matter what you in, that's any business.
That's a universal game that I put in my book.
Out of all the rules, I got a lot of laws.
Stop while you're here.
If you're doing something, you know, you're getting away with, stop while your head.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what you're doing?
You know what you're doing?
You feel what I'm saying?
But the main rule, I say I always remember this one is stay up, dog.
Because if you stay up, even if people try you or whatever, they are, they're not going to do it.
They're going to be, they're going to think about it first.
So it just stay up.
And that's what the relationship is all about, man.
You got to stay up, dog.
You might need to write a book out of this, man.
I wrote a book out here.
He was like one of the best sellers.
Oh, look at that.
Yeah, I wrote a book.
Oh, I had a book deal.
I don't got a book deals, man.
I don't got, I don't do it a lot.
Help is on the way.
I got to get that.
And that book, dog.
Stay up in a relationship.
I'm telling you, man, if you fall out on tomorrow,
they come with, man, make sure you drink your water.
Staying up ain't just money.
Don't get comfortable in their relationship
because she, the biggest secret in the game.
If men knew how much women cheat, men stop cheating.
Damn, a woman?
That's why I hurt so bad.
Because you know we're going to cheat.
You can tell.
Of course.
You can tell what we talk about how we're acting, man.
I'm out with home boy, man.
You're all right.
Oh, you just want to get loose tonight.
You're trying to find out.
Hey, I'm gonna hang out with a little night, you know what I'm saying?
The females already know your patterns.
You're gonna do it so much so they know your paths.
A woman come home and she moaned.
When you make it little until, she moaned like she ain't never felt this before.
So it hurts a man more than no shout out, man.
Shout their mood song.
So it's like you got this, it's like if you're in a business and you're competitive, like,
the basketball players, they plan because like their team will get rid of me.
So you got to stay up.
Like, no, I ain't studying that.
Uh-uh.
I'm still going to gym.
I'm working out.
For sure.
You have to stay a superstar in your relationship, man.
Don't get comfortable.
Don't never let her see you die.
You know what I'm saying?
Say a, remain a superstar in your relationship.
Remain a superstar like that.
So you won't get traded.
You don't want her just to be with you because she can't get nobody else.
Because that means even if she's still with you, she already gone spiritually.
You want her to be.
with you because you're the superstar.
And how you do that, bro, stay up, man.
Do the best at what you can with what you got.
And what you got, man.
You got your mind and your temple.
Everything else could be took it.
But this all God gave you, man.
Man, make sure you get you.
Make sure you drink enough water.
I tell everybody, you drink enough water.
That's 99% of your problems because you're going to make hydrated decisions.
Because when you, it's like when you, when you get drunk,
that ain't up but dehydrate in your mind.
So when you, so people are drunk all day and don't know it.
So the decisions you make when you're drunk,
you're going to be making the decisions all day.
But if you just drink enough water,
it's going to tell you your body going to be at its best
and it'll tell you how to move, how to think, how to work to do.
Because that woman, but the game is like a woman.
A woman is a spirit.
So everything we end, the businesses we in,
the way to make money attract to you,
everything like a woman, if you stay up, right now,
it's like, I got a special because I was up.
It's like, I'm doing so many, I'm doing so many numbers.
On social media, they scared not to give me no money
because they scared another network will give you money.
Like, because they know somebody going to give it to me.
But if I ain't bumping online no more,
and I let up and they ain't got my, I post 40 a day, bro.
The reason why I post 40 a day,
because I'm like, I ain't know all the social media person
for going to get in.
Well, if you get in, congratulations, but I want to.
I'm Luke Wilson.

The story of the sports most consequential driver's strike.
We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently
climbed out the window of the bathroom.
And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale,
or some combination of both?
He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this,
I'm better, and plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful,

I'm Lori Siegel, and I'm mostly human, I go beyond the headlines with the people building our future.
This week, an interview with one of the most influential figures in Silicon Valley, OpenAI CEO Sam Alman.
I think society is going to decide that creators of AI products bear a tremendous amount of responsibility to products we put out in the world.
From power to parenthood.
Kids, teenagers, I think they won't need a lot of guardrails around AI.
This is such a powerful and such a new thing.
From addiction to acceleration.
The world we live in is a competitive world, and I don't think that's going to stop,
even if you did a lot of redistribution.
We have a deep desire to excel and be competitive and gain status
and be useful to others.
And it's a multiplayer game.
What does the man who has extraordinary influence over our lives have to say
about the weight of that responsibility?
Find out a mostly human.
My highest order bit is to not destroy the world with AI.

Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon
and that right after that would be Texas.
S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything,
it really is annoying.
So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU,
only ones that could possibly upset Yukon.

You're trying to keep niggas out?
I ain't trying to keep them out, but I don't try to make sure I stay in.
14 clips a day.
We drop, man.
We drop it every 30 minutes, man.
That's crazy.
Look, man.
He's looking right now to make sure something dropped.
Make sure my fuckers is dropped.
This Facebook, man, dropped 30-7 minutes ago.
You know what I'm saying?
30-7 minutes ago, one hour ago.
It's already got thousand comments.
You know what I'm saying?
Thousand commenced, another hour ago.
He got 14 producers, though, I'm saying.
He do got 14 producers.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
We had to turn it up now because I just understood.
And when I first started doing that stuff, people were calling the corner.
You can't, another thing about social media too,
and all this, you can't kill what people's sake.
The farther you're gonna go, bro, a comment.
I'm telling my brother that sometime, fuck them, comments.
I don't give a fuck about comments.
I don't read comments.
You don't read comments.
Man, bro, heck no, I don't care about comments.
Man, bro, heck, no, I don't care.
Because think about this, right, all of us special people like us who come from the streets.
Right.
Right, we can't go to jail in this.
So whatever they're talking about.
So mad.
That's the facts.
I like that.
I like that.
You need another book out, bro.
You need to write another one with all its knowledge, bro.
It's like, bro, whatever they tell, I be thankful.
Like, I put out my stuff.
I put up my specials, bro.
I love to be hated.
Like, I put out my specials.
I love the negative coming in.
I'm like, I'd be thankful.
Oh, they're talking about, they're talking negative about me, man.
Like, I don't care about the comments because it ain't real.
It's like, I ain't going to prison.
So it's like, I ain't going to prison?
All that, man, I never, I never respond.
You could tell a street nigger, right?
He said, I ain't going to prison like three times, but I ain't going to prison?
I ain't going to prison.
Man, over a comment.
The comment is on God creative.
They all are doing that to get attention.
So it's like when you understand the mouth of the game, they're part of the game.
It's like when in the Bible, when David, when David then were getting away and a dude was all in his face about to spin in his face and his homie want to kill dude.
And David was like, hold up bro, this part of what I'm supposed to go through.
This part of the story, let it be.
You feel what I'm saying?
So it's like, if you want for those negative comment, we won't be where we're at.
So we got to let it ride at the end of the day.
man, people, you could talk about my, my mama, my mom, my dad.
If you call my mama, you could do whatever you want to do,
you can talk about my family or whatever.
I'm like, hey, bro, I ain't going to prison or what it is, man.
Man, that's a comment, and I really just don't care.
You feel what I'm saying?
It's just that sometimes when people in power say something,
I always call them on the phone.
I don't call it a lot of comedians and be like, hey, what's going on, man?
Yeah, why you hate it?
Yeah, why are we doing that?
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, you got some hate before?
Like, nigg and stuff?
Oh, yeah, a lot of people hate me.
People hate me, but I'm so street.
They ain't street so they can't hide it.
It's people that don't say hate.
One thing about Faison, he was hating on me.
But I told him to his face.
At least I respect that you hate not alive.
Right.
I respect enough.
I know how Faison feel.
The other people, they don't think you see it.
But it's like, bro, you know, it'll be people that, if you guys in a comedian,
go around and ask you a comedian, my name don't come up because they think ignoring me.
Bro, the people see.
People ain't stupid.
That's a bad.
There's no way out here.
My biggest crowd is New York.
Look at that.
You know what I'm saying?
We fuck with you out here.
New York, it got everybody in it.
So it's like the real going to rock with the real.
You know what I'm saying?
So you can't ignore it.
So a lot of people, a lot of comedians try to ignore me because one comedian, a agent told me that she said, say, everybody thinks you arrogant.
I say, nah, I'm not arrogant.
I'm just confident because there's work behind this.
Right.
I'm dropping 40 skis today.
I'm doing the interviews.
I'm going to work on stand-up, going to these coming to clubs, throwing away these
joke through this work building the whole other seat, while the nostalgia was coming.
I'm working harder than them.
No, they're arrogant to think they're going to get the same results in these.
That's arrogance that work less than somebody.
I think you was arrogant first too.
Yeah, everybody think I'm not going to hold you.
I think I'm not going to hear of you.
I think of a really filling himself, man.
Like, I'm so real.
He was thinking in town.
He was getting in town.
His family was the town.
It's that New York energy.
Got you.
I'm a country boy, but I always got along with.
New York people. My boy Dunnill, he came to Milling. He, you know how New York, some people
moved down south. I always got along with New York people because I never switched up when
I got to New York. Everybody, soon as New York came out of everybody, what's up, son? I'm like,
why y'all talking like that? Everybody dribbling out. Hey, hey, hey, man, go to the hole, man,
we don't dribble that long? That's New York. But I always had that New York company, because the
reason why New York got company is because they know, man, if I could make it, I can make it anywhere,
right?
So what I came through and where I came from, it just be confidence.
And people be taking this Eric.
I'm like, no, bro, for you not to work as hard as to be, whether you're a comedian, I'm like,
that's arrogant to think you're going to get the same results.
It ain't, bro.
I'm not for the, I'm not for the strength just because you in the room or you're a comedian
dog.
Go work, bro.
Go get some new joke.
He's working.
You got to think about this, Mert, when you watch Mr. Beast, Mr. Beasts is on Amazon prom,
like him.
And he's on YouTube.
He's doing the same thing.
Nostalgia's on Amazon Prime,
and he's killing YouTube.
So when you look at YouTube,
I think the two, like, biggest comedians on YouTube
is him and Drewski.
Yeah, shout out of Drewski.
And I'm the only, man,
I give all the boy of their respect.
Yeah.
I fuck with Desi Banks too,
but Desi Banks is more social.
That niggins better start putting some respect
on my little country, way.
Oh, they ain't got that.
I'm leaving him out of the carmastas.
Even though he don't give a fuck anyway
because he gets in the bag.
Loan with that check on.
To be honest,
some of this,
I only want to be on.
I'm like, I couldn't wait to the certain audience
starts saying I wasn't funny.
I say, when you start, when they start saying you ain't funny,
that's the one that make it.
Gotcha.
Everybody was swearing, everybody from the street,
swear Kevin Hart ain't funny.
I'm like, man.
They said that about him, but they said that about Kevin Hart early.
I remember that.
Because they don't realize some stuff that people do
ain't funny than me too, but I still know it's funny.
I can listen to a song, right?
I can listen to Kendry and I don't listen to Kendry,
but I know that's still the best.
He's better than what I'm listening to.
Right.
So what happens is when it don't relate to them, they think it ain't good instead of
being like, that just ain't my cup of tea.
Got you.
That just ain't my cup of tea.
But when you really realize the game, you're like, no, that still is what it is.
I just don't like it.
You know what I'm saying?
Just because I don't eat chicken no more, bro.
I know chicken is way better than tofu.
Right.
Just because I eat tofu, I'm not feeling, people fallin.
That's what people do.
fall in love, be on they're supposed to fall in love with something out of you more than
what's in you.
Cause if you stay in love with you, you're just going to do the truth.
It'd be like, no, bro, but it can do this.
But it can do that.
I ain't my cup of tea, but I think a lot of people just, um, it just that they feel like
that before they meet me.
Like a lot of people thought I'm arrogant, but it's like, bro, it, man, I ain't arrogant.
I'm just confident.
And I've been through a lot.
You got to be confident.
You gotta be confident in this, man.
Definitely, definitely.
Definitely.
But I get why they say I'm arrogant though because I get on interviews and I say stuff
like.
I wasn't aware in the beginning.
Let me say that right.
When I first, I'm like, who the fuck is this like this little talking like this?
This thing is talking crazy.
My ex-wife told me, I started doing my homework like, oh, okay.
My ex-wife said, when I'm in her husband, he said, you need to stop going to interview.
She said, I ain't nobody going to rock with you because I say, why?
She said, because it's like you be sunning nigger.
I'm like, bro, I ain't sonning nobody.
It's because, like, you talk like you've been in the game a long time.
Like, no, I ain't been to this game, but it ain't up with one real game.
And it's the game of life.
Facts.
I'm like a joke.
So when you've been at the game of life, you're going to have, when you do get in any,
it's like, when Jay Z got in the game, I tell everybody this, bro.
Jay Z didn't really pop until he was 27.
A lot.
If you parked when you were 21, what make you think you were going to, he lived in the game.
He was still out there a little bit.
Right.
So I came in the game without 27, so I don't been in the streets, you know,
We're traveling adult.
Me and my dad
about a brick together.
Allegedly, y'all, yeah.
He got four for it.
I got, yeah.
I got a statue of...
You know my daddy bought a brick together.
Statue of limitations.
My uncles went to prison.
My dad was in the streets.
My mom was in the streets.
You went through a lot of pain
to feel the glory.
So I remember going to a Jay-Z concert, bro.
And me and my brother was watching.
And Jay-Z did this with his hand.
He said, I'm going to hustle a period.
He had...
I said, ooh.
I said, Arb, you're seeing his hand.
He didn't understand.
I say, bro, Jay Z trying to tell y'all,
I was going to beat you anyway.
He's like, I'm a hustler.
Jay Z and 50 of them are hustlers.
They're going to get in the game.
Whatever game, if they would have been selling tires
from the experiences they had,
they were going to beat you anyway
because you ain't go out work on.
You're going to get in the game
and you're going to go out of time
with these women too much.
Versus people who live their life
and made it out, bro.
It's so much pain that by the time
you get here, you're like, bro, I went through too much to get here.
You're not for to play with me, and I see you.
So it's like, you ain't got to say nothing.
So most people think they'd be hiding how they feel, be doing a little because they ain't
street.
So a street person, if you ain't street, if you ain't a slight hate on the internet.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, bro, I see you.
It's like people say something like, I'm like, all right, bro, you don't see me do
comedy.
You know what I do to every show.
You ain't never heard a show a country way and ever bomb.
And trust me, if I were to bond once, they can't wait to break in to throw that out there.
Oh, yeah, that wasn't out there.
This arrogant motherfucker right here.
There's two many women watching me.
Two many women on.
I do want to be like, see, I told you,
I told you, but I want like that for real.
You know what I'm saying?
But man, I'm not, I, to be on the tour
with Mike else or Lavel Crawford, them earthquake,
and they ain't cursing?
Don't comedians, no, bro.
I'm doing this without cursing.
Who got the hood crowd?
I got, I got jocles in the crowd.
My boy, Wayne.
That's my boy.
And they ain't saying the cuss word.
I'm like, so since y'all ain't going to say it,
when I do talk, I'm gonna speak it.
Because you don't hear no comedians being for real.
Like, you'll hear earthquake don't say that
because I don't went behind earthquake
when he's telling that joke about the doctor
and it's tearing the crowd up.
Shout to earthquake.
Yeah, Earthquake, man, Urquate, LaVelle Crawford, bro.
Tony Robbins.
I just went on tour with Mike Epps done last year.
Uh-huh.
I went behind Tony Robbers every night.
And if you've been to a comedy show,
of course.
You know what Tony Robbins doing to that stage.
Definitely.
Every time.
So it's like the comedians, no, you know what I'm saying?
It's just that they feel like I will make you work a little harder to get it because
you ain't really, you ain't, I'm gonna work you, I'm gonna work a little harder for you to
get my respect.
And I'm like, bro, as long as Jesus respect me, bro, I don't really don't care.
So I'm like, bro, I always show people to up with respect, but I can feel their energy.
I'm from the street.
So when somebody, when somebody give me that energy, like, bro, it's forever.
It ain't never coming back in here.
That's why I understand, bro.
bro, when I be saying the beef with rappers and all that, some stuff, I'd be like, I understand
how they feel.
Like, it's forever.
Yeah.
It's forever, dog, because I'm not going to take the risk of you coming back in my energy
and you being the same person.
I really, you know what I'm saying?
Because I know.
I'd rather just be comfortable knowing that you got to stay the fuck over there and away from
me.
So, and it's like that.
And when you're dealing with something that you feed your family, like, it's just coming
all, bro.
It ain't, it ain't just coming in it because this is how I feed my kids.
So everybody ever met, every comedian, I give them props.
I'd be like, oh, I love them funny, all this and that,
but a lot of comedians, but the real one say my name,
where you even said my name?
You know what I'm saying?
Mike Elson, you know what I've been on to?
Mike Gets, a real one, man.
Mike Gels is a real one, man.
He hosted one in my mixtape thing, he hosted one in your mixtape too, man.
Yeah, that's a real one right then.
Man, most of the OG really give my props,
because they seen me come through, they seen the work I put in.
But the new era would really be the problem,
because they feel like I think, a lot of them think,
I'm better.
I'm like, no, bro, I'm not working there, everybody, man.
I got 10 kids.
I'm dropping 40 videos a day.
Damn.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, bro, this work.
And I'm not feeling like, I'm not one of the people
who believe in Jesus that turn, like, I'm go fight my battles.
I'm like, bro, Jesus popped it.
Yeah.
Jesus ain't like, people don't understand, bro.
People are thinking that Jesus like, oh my father about, man,
Jesus was in like, bro, Peter don't,
He was talking to Peter, me, either y'all follow me or y'all ain't, I'm the one.
That's right.
Trust Jesus.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Everybody who truly believe in Jesus for real, you're going to have that energy because you're
like, bro, I know what's backing me.
And I got the mission and I'm screaming his name and I'm doing it in the way that, I don't
really, I could have, I had a character named Drip that had took over the streets.
Yeah, Drip.
I could have stayed with Drip.
Dripp had got so big.
I could have stayed with Drip.
Before I did Drill, I told my partner Mike, I said,
I mean, I'm bred.
I said, bread.
I'm going to do this character named Drip.
And everybody's going to start posting for a minute.
I put Drip on Instagram.
Drip was so big because when I started talking about the streets,
a lot of social media people couldn't do the videos no more because Drit was talking real talk.
Y'all, y'all, let me give me a full way.
He was over the plug money.
And then he owed the plug for the plug for a hundred thousand.
The club was looking for all the plug.
He's like, I got 16,000.
And the plug, like, hey, Drip, man, you owe me a hundred.
He said, yo, I had to sell mine first.
The rest of them are going to add them.
So the real dope boys around the country were like,
they know how that go.
No, bro, this,
Wayne on some.
So what happened was I grabbed the streets with drill because they're like,
oh, he ain't.
And that's what happened.
The people who follow me are the real ones.
And people can't understand why y'all following Wayne
because it's like, bro, he's talking about real life.
Yeah.
It's relatable.
It's relatable.
And a lot of people, they be like, what you want me to do?
be piped down and I'm like bro I'm I'm promoting myself since nobody else don't promote me
I'm gonna let you know I'm gonna I'm gonna sell tickets everywhere and the street's gonna be in there
and ain't got the curse you know what I'm saying so the key who told who said that one time
shout out Donair O'Rollers he put up a post he said man the fact that country Wayne
stopped cursing then say Jesus and didn't lose the streets definitely how long you've been
not cursing I I started cursing my company
when I first started, like 2015.
Well, that's crazy.
And I still kept them, and they left at first.
I remember they were like, when I first popped,
I grabbed everybody.
I was cursing.
All the rappers, everybody, I grabbed everybody.
And my manager came to him and was like,
me to stop cursing.
I just did it because of grandmas,
then we were watching.
And I was like, you know what?
I'm just gonna do it because I owe the crowd.
And I lost the hood for a minute
because people were like, it just wasn't related.
It's weird.
He ain't coming to without cursing.
Because it is.
The time is different.
So you tried to tell him you didn't curse in this new shit I just wore.
No.
Nah.
I say hell.
I said hell.
I didn't even.
It's crazy, right?
This one you know, motherfucker is just funny.
Pardon me for cursing.
I just curse all the time.
He cursed all the time.
But it's crazy.
I didn't even realize that you didn't curse and was just laughing and having a good time watching the shit.
Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that shit.
A lot of people don't realize that.
Yeah, that's fucking crazy.
Because he got Jesus behind.
I see this piece and said, Jesus is popping.
Jesus.
Like he said, don't know wrong.
He said, he said Jesus, he curds, I thought his career was over, but he got God behind
him and Jesus behind him, right?
That's crazy, man.
That's dope.
Respect.
Yeah.
I love everybody, but I love everybody, but at the same time, I hate you be out there.
And I just think everybody who, everybody, because I come from, I was, I try to be a rapper
first.
Is that serious?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You go to YouTube, I got to rap songs.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
I tried to be a rapper.
Everybody go look up my minute because you made YouTube rap videos.
Matter of fact, don't look it up.
So what happened?
It did work.
He said, matter of fact, don't look it up.
Don't look it up.
But I think when I came in the coming game with rapper energy.
Okay.
So I looked at different.
You know what I'm saying?
So I came in with rapper energy.
You know what's on some trapping shit, so it was different.
So that confidence come from, I'm like a hip-hop person in the coming the game.
And I, because I, like you say, 50, you know what I'm saying?
I know they were beefing, but 50 and TI.
Yeah.
JZ, GZ, so I come in their era.
So when I got in the coming game, I'm like, it's what it is.
It's friendly fun.
Right.
Who go the hardest?
You know what I'm saying?
Definitely.
Comedians be sensitive, boy.
It'd be like the people who tell the most jokes.
Who you think it's more sensitive?
Comedians or rappers?
Man, comedians, man.
I thought rappers.
No, could comedians...
I think the comedians got to have tougher skin.
They got tougher skin, but comedians like to be liked.
The moment you...
Okay.
So comedians, a rapper used to not to be, they used to.
Yeah, we don't give a fuck.
Yeah, we want to be like.
We want to be like, but we don't give a fuck
if people don't like this too.
Yeah, it's like a different energy.
Yeah.
If you don't like a comedian for real, for real,
and it really hit like that, they're doing it to be like.
When the comedians being funny in class, they want the audience
to like them.
So what happens with a comedian man, comedians get sensitive, bro.
They, they think about it.
Comedians don't even work together like rappers.
Rappers could be beef.
Facts.
It's still.
That is true.
And still, once upon the time, they might be phasing it.
Like, at the end of the day, you fall for that if you want.
You got 50 and T.I. them beefing.
Yeah, they beefing now.
But, man, when they were really, really, really, everybody, hey, man,
worked together some kind of shape.
Man, we get in money.
Of course.
But when they get there, we got some money.
All right, we got time to be petty.
We got time to be whatever.
But rap game, man, just like little baby number, 42 Doug.
Man, them boy got together.
You know what I'm saying?
Made them song.
Man, some shit, definitely ran their bag up right quick.
They, when baby, baby was dead hot.
Him and dirt was hot.
Baby and dirt, man, you know what I'm saying?
Let's work together.
Comedians.
And don't know what I'm hell.
You say they're doing those shows like that.
They're sharing their energy.
Got you.
Because you got to think about it.
I agree with them.
A lot of rappers was getting women before rap or some of them.
That's true.
Right?
A lot of comedians weren't getting women before coming.
So now they got women and they got money.
You're not going to take that from them.
See, but y'all niggas ain't like country, Wayne,
because my man has seven kids before this shit stuff.
Oh, no, but that's the real problem.
A lot of comedians, that's what they're mad about.
It's really because I'm really, I don't come off like,
it's the women, bro.
They know, they know the women, hey, man,
they know the women on me.
Don't be a hater.
In a different way than a comedian way, you know what I'm saying?
Like, they know the women on me,
and most comedians don't have that.
Not all of, most, you know what I say,
SMG.
I don't want to call them that, because I call out song,
they think I'm calling the rebel.
But just being transparent.
Just being transparent.
Right.
The fan base I got with women
or how women might rock with me,
a lot of comedians don't get the same.
Same love.
And I've been had it.
Like I said, the mother's of my kids,
a couple of my kids, a couple long,
was homecoming Queens.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, I've been ahead of women.
If you got the women,
they're going to hate you, bro.
That's why they hate Jesus.
It don't matter what you do for a woman,
if you do a lot for her,
She's going to say, thank you, Jesus.
I ain't know when you was going to go up with that.
Jesus.
You know what you're going to?
Yeah, I ain't know he was going to.
Jesus put up on a donkey's sideways.
So that's why a lot of people, man, people going to hate on the person who's getting on women,
though.
And I ain't even, I ain't even after no women.
I'm after the, I was after women when I was supposed to be after women.
In high school, by the time I got 22, I've been stuck in that paper.
So now the gang flipped.
Day after the women, I'm like, I ain't stuck them.
But when you after that paper, they after you anyway.
Stay up.
Stay up.
When you chase women, you run them off.
Because the day you give a woman, the attention that she's begging for the day that she's
conquered you.
Give what got her attention to attention.
Focus on yourself, man.
Focus on God and focus on your work.
Man, oh man, I don't do Valentine's Day.
I don't do birthdays.
For real?
No, I don't do none of that.
No, birthdays?
No, like, I get somebody's money for their birthday, but I don't put no extra effort.
So you got five baby mothers and you don't do...
They already, no, I don't play that.
I don't do, I don't celebrate holidays.
For their birthday, I give them some money, but it's like, I stay so focused on what I'm focused
on, it keeps you, like the book, 40 Laws of Power.
You know the story, you know, when the dude was walking around, putting a brick in front
of brick and everybody was following him around.
I'm like, what are you doing?
But he was taking it to the new circus that came in time.
time. If you stay in, when you stay, and when you stay what you're doing, people follow you,
bro. Like, that's how social media is. If you stay working on social media and they see your work,
and they see you home too much and chilling, they lose engagement. You know what I'm saying?
But it like, you might have engagement over there, but to keep their real engagement,
people want to see you work, though. People want to see you move. And that's how everything is.
So I just- We got to work harder, murder. Fourteen videos.
You know, y'all, y'all do what y'all want to do.
Y'all, y'all, you know what I'm saying?
Y'all, oh, gee, so y'all can move how y'all.
You got to move.
You know, we got to move.
Listen, when I heard 14 clips, listen, when I heard 14 clips, that's crazy.
14, yeah, 14 clips in the day.
No, 40, 40.
40, put some respect on that d'n' name.
40 clips a day of brand new content, three minutes.
You know what I'm saying, three minutes or more,
because you know, it got to be three minutes and more of the time.
But, yeah, man, we trap it, we trapping all, we trapping all day.
You know what I'm saying?
You know how the traps it?
I couldn't wait.
So somebody stopped trapping to my man, I don't sell no more dope that after 8 o'clock.
Thank you.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Man, I'm talking about that.
How big is used to not want to hustle on Sundays like that?
Okay, no problem.
Everybody's day in the house.
We outside.
Don't want to go out?
Sunday family day.
Okay, cool.
I know Bird King, Love, Chick-fil-A shut down on Sunday.
Of course.
You better believe it.
Better believe it.
Yeah, but no, you got to do that.
Because the social media is still fairly new.
So it's just like, it's really that grind.
It's a new world, you know what I'm saying?
Because ain't, you ain't gonna be what y'all done done with Jay-Z 50 and, you know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
All T.I.
Everybody don't already done.
You can't do that no more.
And the only way you do that now, you got to do everything because you're not trying to drop a movie or album to have the world waiting unless you marvel.
You feel what I'm saying?
Because everybody got, say you got a big movie coming.
Right.
Right.
There's something happened on Shade Room, but these two people fought, this couple fought and went to jail.
Yeah, you, right.
And you're trying to catch the out of, hey, hey, but you know I got this movie coming.
So it's like, hey, you know, back in the day, we had social media.
So when this drop on one of six and part, it's dropping.
That's getting all the attention.
You're getting all the attention.
I don't know what you mean.
When the album drop, a single drop, all attention.
All the attention.
You can't get it.
can't get that no more.
You really can't, unless you gotta think about,
Kedden and Drake, dothed, and they caught the tent.
Something like that had to happen.
Right.
To, for something like that to happen.
You feel what I'm saying?
It's like you can't really get their attention and then they forget about you that fast.
Fast.
Those songs back in the day used to last, bro.
You hear a song, we ride for this for a minute.
We were just talking about that earlier.
You had like a person put out of the album.
It used to be like for the year and you was good.
Like one album, rock it for a year.
You know, but now I was like, man, that's please.
Yeah, you fight for attention.
So you got to get in the every second of the date.
And I, and I had to get what I did.
I let them do it for me.
I got out of the game and let producers keep their attention while I'm working.
Because if I had to stay in front of their camera all day,
when I watch social media people stay in front of that camera,
I like, oh, they ain't for an hour.
I'll ask me.
Because I'm like, they ain't going to keep it.
They ain't going to be able to keep doing that.
I'm like, man.
Because you're going to burn out versus me.
I was like, oh.
you're supposed to share the game.
So what I did,
I made people hot.
I made Mike Bliss,
Roe, Natasha,
Shaylor,
you know what I'm saying?
And other characters on my page,
Hi, Amber and all these people,
Ernestine,
Erica, Sarah.
I said,
if I share them with my audience,
I started pulling,
I started doing videos without me in them.
And they started still liking them.
I said, oh, I got them.
I say, because now I could go maneuver
and go shoot.
my movie with Cocoa Jones.
Of course.
Because if not, I'm gonna have to keep standing in front of their camera.
What happens when you stay?
I stopped Drill before he fell off.
Because I told my people, I said he gonna fall off.
I don't want motherfuckers to get tired of this, nigger, man.
If you stay up, bro, people either gonna get tired of you.
It's like you got to fall off.
So you gotta take yourself down before they take you die.
Because you take yourself down.
You know what I'm saying?
Because you can bring Drift back now.
Yeah, I could do a whole movie with Drift, honestly.
Drill got a movie.
Drip got a studio, I mean, oh, uh, uh, man,
Drill got a movie coming, man.
Drill got a movie coming from a real big studio.
Oh, look at that.
It's gonna be on, it's going to theaters and everything.
Drilk got a movie because he's so legendary
because I stopped while he was ahead.
That's smart.
Look at that.
And he got a movie coming.
And it's gonna be big, but y'all,
it's like this social media game,
it's just like the streets and he just got the,
you got, but one thing I like about social media,
you ain't going to prison.
Facts.
That's true.
That's a fact.
A bullet touch you for real.
I remember somebody hit me with a comment in a bullet.
Somebody hit me with a bullet out.
I quit.
I ain't bouncing.
That's one thing.
I don't like it.
I don't like getting shot.
I don't think nobody like that way.
I don't think nobody like that way.
Talk about me on social media.
Talk about me on that comment.
He said, I'm cool with that shit.
Talk all day.
Social media, you can really hustle.
You know, you're in the streets.
The first thing we thought, hey, man, what if this was legal.
What if this was legal?
I make some of the money.
You know, you should be playing, oh man, this money.
I want to be at this, old boy, I'm going to go to this, but it's something always getting
the way of that playing versus social media, brother.
I want you grind.
You know, it's a competition to a certain degree because it is the algorithm.
Yes, but I see you going to the movies now, like taking all of them characters off YouTube
and making one of your movies too.
I know Coco Jones and big stars.
I got drip.
I got drip.
He got a movie coming for show.
That's Super Fire, man.
And me and Cocoa move is going to be, you know, it's going to be real good for the ladies
and the men because it's from a different point of view.
But Chance was, he was more laid back.
And what Chance was, this were women, because you know how women always think the nice guy
is better than us.
Chance even thought that too.
But he's a player just like everybody else.
Chance think he's better than everybody just because he don't talk like us.
Right.
So it's, that movie got a lot of messages in it.
But at the end of the day, what people didn't know, Chance is looking for love.
And that's what a lot of women don't know about us.
Sometimes we really is looking for love.
Definitely, man.
They don't have no idea about that shit.
They'll be looking for love, man really be sometime coming in your life, man, I ain't got to, I ain't really trying to be a player.
I'm really looking for love.
But if I see that you ain't even.
ain't even looking with me.
You think you looking for love.
You know, you love the relationship.
You feel what I'm saying?
You love a lot of women love the wedding,
the way it looks.
Most women, a lot of women more in love
with the illusion of love than love.
Right.
Because it's like, I got to see it this way.
I want this, this way.
You know what I mean?
I want to get married this way.
I'm like, with all, that's all that ain't here.
But me and you here right now,
Now, what do we just love each other first and let all whatever come with that, right?
And me and be looking for that, but we know when you get with a woman, we know she wanted a certain way.
So I'm going to go to your family cookout because yesterday.
And I'm going to act like this because I know this is how you want me to act for your family.
So now this is a big act.
Got you.
So you're cheating on me too.
I'm just going to finish you going to cheat.
You ever got married?
You ever did the whole thing?
Oh, yeah.
I married my arm.
I married one of the mother on my kids, Gina.
Okay.
We were in the projects to gather,
selling dope out of projects.
So when I finally made my first 100 grand,
I made 100 grand one weekend doing stand-up.
And I was like, I called, I said, Gina.
I had already engaged to it.
I said, I'm ready to marry you.
I said, because I made it.
I feel like I made it.
This was some legit money.
I made 100 grand weekend.
I said, bro.
I went home.
I said, we're not going to wait till the wedding.
Went home.
I took it to the corner.
Look at that.
So I saved that money.
So what happened with that then?
I saved that money on that way.
You know that shit didn't work, man.
You don't have any of kids you got, nigger?
But we stayed together for a year and a half.
But we was together for like 10.
All right, gosh.
We was in the streets.
I married her.
We was together for a year and a half.
And I just, I knew I had to get out of their relationship because it wasn't fair to her
because we was happy.
It's just that I knew what I had to do.
Your success and you?
I knew I had to be.
me. I knew I had to be me for to get the way I wanted to be and being me was my stories.
And the stuff I did on social media.
You had to go create more stories.
I had to go create more stories.
Get the fuck out of here, wait.
Get the fuck.
Get the fuck.
Get the fuck.
It sound good.
You would sound like that.
You would sound like that.
You were saying about it.
Wait.
I didn't know.
You never tell anybody like that, boy.
I ain't go create more stories.
Because the storyline I did, you got to think about it.
A lot of those storylines online, I'm a relationship with girls, we're kissing and we're
making this stuff feel real because I took social media to acting, right?
So if I come home and me and her together, you're not going to let me act like I'm in a
relationship with Roe.
I'm going to come home and you're like, you're really just doing that.
And I'm like, Ro, this acting.
This ain't no movie though, because that's what everybody was saying about the skits at first.
This ain't no movie.
So basically, you looking at my stuff as little skits, I know I can't go through this part.
You're not going to let me be what I need to be.
And I'm glad because I wouldn't have been able to build all those relationships.
Every girl is scared to get hot.
And I had to write the storyline through me.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just like, it's just like, uh, fifth inch unit.
He popped.
Then once we seen him when he brought y'all, we're like, oh, we.
So he had to pop first.
But I could have nothing in my way of my vision because I knew and it wasn't going to be fair to her
because her friends and everybody's going to be in her.
Yeah, you let Wayne kiss some girls on the videos like that.
I don't know.
I ain't got time for that because I need to focus.
So if I come home one night,
I don't need to be in that kind of relationship
because I don't got time to talk.
When a man got a vision and we try to take us somewhere
and it's if a man driving a ship
and it's a big rock in the way
and a big rock right here,
man, I don't got time to stop this ship
and hear you talk about your feelings
because you're about to feel this boat tip over.
Man, if you want to feel this boat tip over, keep on talking.
I'm driving the ship.
So I just didn't need nobody at that time in my career to really be talking, man.
Because I knew where I was going.
And when I got there, she understood, like, she still, she's still rich, man.
She benefits from your decisions.
She benefited from your decisions.
She's been a lot.
She was your first baby mother?
No.
The first baby mother.
fit in two.
What's, they get a lot of money.
Who is she?
What's her name?
Her name, Tiquisha.
She was my high school Sukey Heart.
Now, the thing about Tiquisha, the thing about her is that I could have been with her,
I could have been with her because she don't talk.
But at the same time, people around her would have got in her yet.
Quit be chilling, you feel what I'm saying?
Jita going to da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
You know what I'm saying?
Quique going to chill, but you're going to feel it.
gonna tell you versus to quechish what I call the quite.
If I'd have been with her, it would have been coming home, hey,
Hey, quid, what's up?
Right.
She ain't gonna say nothing.
So now I'm gonna have to be all night.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
Why you say something wrong with me?
Because you got their neck, keep doing what it's doing.
What's wrong with you?
So it was like, I still was gonna feel it.
They are who they are in different ways.
But the good part of them, man, they're great mothers to my kids.
They allow me to do this.
Facts.
And they, at the end of the day,
They can't stand me, but they love me.
And they understand my heart of it.
Don't matter what, he wants the best for his family.
And they make that, they make their unit work with all those kids, the kids close and everybody,
you know, even when they don't get along, they tried, they got better than they did back
in the day.
Like, you know, back in the day, because we went through a lot together, busting my windows
and all that.
Like one of my baby mom, quit came to Gina House and bust my windows when he lives in the
project.
Now, I got a whole quarter break in the house.
And the police come, you're going to jail, buddy.
Because I'm going to tell them it's yours.
Oh, man.
No, you don't even know.
I'm going through all this.
You know what I'm saying?
But we at this place now, man.
And they bless them girls, they get most of the money.
That's dope.
They really get most of the money.
I was never a male woman that I get more than them.
And I put up with more for them.
I let them cuss me out.
Still sending the check every month.
You know what I'm saying?
But they get a lot of money.
money, but if I wouldn't have been able to be Wayne, I couldn't be who I am.
You know what I'm saying?
I had to be free.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like future.
I know women will be mad when I say this.
Future left Sierra.
His music got better.
It did.
Because he was able to be help.
He came.
He must have holding an end.
March Madden and all that came.
When Future came, when he got out of that relationship.
That's about God's future, man.
When the future got out of that relationship, man, the club was a different vibe.
He turned it up.
He couldn't be who he was respectfully.
He couldn't be all the way who he was.
So me, obviously.
Well, let's not blame Sierra for that one.
No, I ain't blaming her for that.
What I'm saying?
I know a lot of female.
I'm like, what are you saying Sierra holding him down?
No, Sierra was.
You know what they're going to say that.
Sierra was holding him up.
Sierra was being a woman, what I'm saying, as an artist.
He needed to be free.
Because he was able to talk about it.
in, he was able to, everything that came out on social media, he had not.
I know some females be hating you the way you make certain shit makes sense.
Yeah.
I think it just got to be free to be great.
The test measures on social media.
When the test men on social media when future say, you're good, love.
They hit harder because his songs be already saying that.
So it's like, it's like for country way and make a joke about baby mama's, it hit harder
because everybody knows I got them kids.
Exactly.
I know what he said.
That's what I'm saying.
You feel what I'm saying?
So what I'm saying.
When the future was in the relationship,
if you talk about that, you're like, it don't go together.
That's why I see some people when they be rapping
and they be in a relationship.
I'm like, that person ain't coming out the same.
He's right.
You ain't live.
Even if you're not living that,
your fans want to know that you can live that.
So if you're in a relationship and you're saying,
I was this and I was there, I was shouted last night.
We're thinking, ooh, she letting you get away with that?
Think about everybody he'd break up with,
it's like in the song.
Lori Harvey.
Yeah.
He talked about Steve Harvey.
It's right.
He's being him.
It's listening to him.
It's art.
It's like,
She's for the streets.
Come on.
It's like 50 came up bullying.
So when he puts something on social media,
it fits his character.
So it's like, oh, it's hit harder.
Because it's like, man, he was like that.
Since we remember.
So we remember.
So if anybody else tried that,
it ain't going to hit the same.
Because we're like,
50 is playing.
He is who he is.
So at the same time,
when people, as an artist, it's like wrestlers.
When WCW and all that,
they want you to stay,
the reason why them wrestling is big
because they stay who they are, right?
If you watch the Mac Man thing,
one time the wrestlers got together
and hugged each other
and by the crowd, booed them.
Because the fans like, man, we don't want to see that.
We thought you hate each other, motherfucker.
We didn't want to see this move by y'all shit fans.
We don't want to say that, like, at the end of the day,
because you got to give it up for Drake and Kendrick,
because there was no guns,
all, what they did for the audience, bro.
That the audience, they put on.
They put on.
Drake responding.
He did.
He put on.
Because you know why?
They put on.
He played that role.
Wherever this is, understand.
Even though you say I lost, the world was entertained.
So how you feel when the battles go a little too far for you?
You still love it?
No, I don't like it when they go violent.
So Jay Z just said something like, yo, battles should be done because now it's going a little
too far.
But-
But-
I think he went far.
Like, Jay-Z, he's so rich.
Sometime when you so rich like them, you be forgetting.
You mean- Forget about shit you went through when you were so ages.
You were in Ozbee, you said some crazy shit.
Yeah, you could sell out the Yankee Stadium three times.
Yeah, I can't, man, I'm trying to sell out of theater.
And Drake and Kendrick, whether they know or not, they stuck to the art.
I think they can do it good because you know they weren't going to pull out no guns.
You know what I'm saying?
They came bar after bar, and they said it probably hurt hip hop.
And it probably did.
But hip hop, you know what I'm saying?
People have been beefing with real guns.
So if it heard it, that means because it was already wounded.
Yeah, yeah.
But the way they did it and the songs they were dropping, the fans was entertained.
The audience that are watching you, do.
Some people ain't got $20.
Some people paying their bills.
I mean, they barely paying their bills, but they depending on entertainers.
Like wrestlers, they're not fighting for real, but people love to be.
entertain. And when you break that character, and I think nowadays a lot of people break
character as artists too much and won't let it be art. And it's like the audience don't want
to see that. Like if I got, if I got Sheila and Amber beefing in the storyline and they put up
pictures together, I'd be like, take that down. Because the fans know it's fake, but don't play in
their face. It's like a woman. You might be cheating for real, but don't have, don't play in my
face and embarrass me in front of my friends. Don't play in my face because I'm giving you my energy
in my time.
We know this ain't real,
but we want to feel like it is.
And I just think when you,
they weren't rapping about violence that much.
Now, when you're rapping about violence,
the thing about when you rap about violence,
eventually go get real.
Yeah, of course.
Because now you're talking about threats.
They was personal.
They was personal.
It was personal.
It wasn't valid, but they got personal.
Yeah, but he wasn't violent.
It wasn't valid,
but it was real personal things
that they were saying towards each other.
Yeah.
And to be honest,
I think it got too personal, actually.
And I go still farther with that.
What I think, Drake and Kendry don't should do.
Because at the end of the day, the record label was born.
He's still losing in the end, bro.
We still don't own that stuff.
We don't own the platforms.
None of us own the platforms for real.
I would love to see Nikki Menage and Carter beat them going to work.
Because they don't be with friends before that don't did on bad.
Man, that would get the power back.
Drake and Kendry going to tour.
And still do you.
a beef and still get up there.
Yeah, he thought he could wrap better than meat, but y'all remember this hit?
Like, make it because at the end of the day, bro, we can't keep letting them divide us like
that.
And we ain't got nothing.
We can say, okay, all right, I make a million every month, right?
If I make over a million dollars a month, the person who on the platform made that last
second.
Imagine.
So I ain't nothing.
So even if we get 400 million, 500 million, 500 million, a billion.
Bro, Mark Zuckerberg make a billion every day.
So we don't got nothing.
And when we realize we don't got nothing,
the only thing we do got is what money came by.
We got the sauce.
And we tour together, like, hey, man, this is the deal we won't.
You got what you get big, talk like this now,
because I ain't big enough.
I'm talking about them.
They're big enough to be like,
we ain't touring unless we're getting 100% of all of it.
You know what I mean?
We won't, like.
They couldn't make them demand you right.
But if they came together.
You're right.
How yeah, Cardi B and Nicky?
You're talking about Cardi B and Nicky, Meg the Stallion, you know what I'm saying?
Lotto.
Yeah, Kendrick and Drake, if they came together, it'd be the biggest in the game because at end of the day, none of them won.
Because the record labels made, while they're rapping in the studio giving their best shot, they're sitting on a yacht, teaching their kid how they're going to be an accountant.
You know what I'm saying?
Now, when you do this, this is how you get the money.
You know what I'm saying?
You're going to get 10% of this.
You know what I'm saying?
And we, being artists, none of us are winning.
Are you absolutely?
We ain't winning.
We think we win because we get more than each other.
That's why I stay out of that because at the end of the day,
I ain't better than know other social media comedic because, yeah, we try to get,
I ain't feeling about it bother me.
But, bro, I think when we get bigger than each other, be like, yeah, but, bro, when is it going,
when one of us going to get $100 billion, man?
We just need one of us to get $100 billion.
Yeah, that's true.
If you add all the billionaires together, you have 50, Jay-Z, you're talking about probably
$7 billion without, you know what I mean, Tyler Pinnett?
Bro, if you see what, you see what them billionaires making, Amazon and all them, I mean,
it's like, they tricked us to believe one percent of us get a big house out of there, and they
look at that, but we forget about all the little hungry.
When I come New York, man, I take my jury off every well.
I only wore the hell because we're on camera, but I'm going to check.
And I know this pre-recorded.
I'm not feeling of disrespect.
I'm not feeling of disrespect.
That young dude who mama need $60.
And that's most of the world.
So most of us are like that.
So when you think about that, we're like, bro, we got it.
When we got a chance to get some money, let's come together, get the extra money we're going to make and give it back.
I agree.
And change, change the people who,
really need $20.
You know what I'm saying?
Because that's how I am.
I can live bigger than what I am,
but I take care my whole family
and I ain't making nowhere near that.
And I realize 30,000 a year
might not be nothing to me,
but that'll change his family life.
So I'm like,
we're making enough money
to give back to our community
that we don't have to ask,
but we keep buying their stuff.
You know what I'm saying?
You do all that murder,
well, that jury murder got on his nothing.
I'm a guilty of him.
I'm a guilty of him.
I'm a guilty of him.
The nigga might not rob you for that.
See the Jesus pop, man.
Nah, the dicks are still taking that, man.
Pardon me, my homie.
Amen, hallelujah.
In the name of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus.
And then you go to the name of Jesus.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In the name of Jesus, bro.
Hey, give me that.
Jesus popper.
Hey, you feel if Jesus going to be?
Jesus gets your number.
But so I think, man, that really be my goal, though.
Like, I pray, man, that I get so wealthy one day that I be able to,
I see how money can change.
I see how I change my family.
Right.
I didn't give him all my sister.
I'm like,
I didn't give my sister a hundred a year,
$100,000 a year.
But at the same time,
my watch calls $70.
My Ferrari costs $700,000.
So I'm like,
my son's saying my sister ain't worth a watch
in a Ferrari.
I might just not buy two Ferraris.
You feel what I'm saying?
But it's like, I think we're making enough money
to really change each other lives already.
We just don't know it because we keep buying the stuff
that's making them wealthy and think we somebody.
Definitely.
Like, we walk in, yeah, I'm on social media.
I'm doing it.
I'm making money, but, bro, them peanuts.
They're never going to pay me what I'm worth
and what I'm really bringing to that channel, right?
So it's like, at the end of the day,
I think if we came together,
that'd be bigger.
Like, Drake, because they built the storyline up
for dealing to hate each other and drop a tour,
much as you stretch hate.
When that love come back,
watch how many people in the hood now.
Go to Old Boehner corner, hey, bro.
How about we open up a store together, bro?
Jim because Drake and Kendra got together.
They don't know the power.
When you get famous, it ain't about this money.
And if we don't, when you get famous, we have a responsibility.
God don't let you get this big for no reason.
It ain't for us.
He let us enjoy good things.
That's why the more you enjoy, the bigger you get, you be depressed.
Because you realize, dog, that ain't what we're supposed to do.
You feel better when you do get back.
Helping people.
You ain't lying.
If you're making a million dollars, you know what I'm saying?
or such and stuff, bro, you could change so many people lives with that.
Mm-hmm.
But going back and giving the hood turkeys, ain't it, because we found out turkeys weren't even good for us.
We're killing them.
The fool.
The fool being killing us anyway.
So it's like, turkey giveaway shit.
But we got together and be like, hey man, like, I got, you know, I got a network coming.
I'm building my own country, why ain't network.
Can we, can me and murder be on one of the shows?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's go.
Let's get some of this money together, man.
I like how that sound, my brother.
Yeah, let's get some of the money, man.
You know, you're the next one.
Say the movie again, that's her.
That's her.
And he might need to edit some of that,
because Illuminati might come cut my head out.
But I got Jesus, because some of them probably
going to hear this.
I'm supposed to be talking like this yet.
I'm supposed to wait till I get some money like,
Jay, 50, them.
You're talking that shit, my brother.
I love this covers.
You're talking that shit, my brother.
Trust the Jesus.
It's all good, man.
