We have Shadi Bae! Hi guys, it's me Shadi Bae. I'm here. Yes! Okay, I love you already. We have been talking for the past like 15 minutes and you are just, first of all, so humble. You're so like sweet and like shy in person. Yeah, I'm a little shy but I'll be okay in this account yeah you're vlogging now too which I love yeah how long have you been vlogging for because I didn't know you vlogged um for a little bit months I'm not sure when I started why YouTube now all of a sudden like you did you're famous on TikTok and Musical.ly, transitioning to YouTube. Well, because TikTok is not forever.

So I need to go back to a different social media. And YouTube is forever. I've been on YouTube 16 years. So I think it's going to be around for a long time. But you started on Musical.ly. So TikTok has been around for a while. How old were you on Musical.ly? I'm not that sure.

I was so young though. Yeah, because you're not even 21. You're going to be 21 next though. Yeah. Cause you're, you're not even 21. You're only 21 next week. Yeah. So you're 20 now. So how long have you, like 12? I think so. Yeah. Wow. And you were in Minnesota making musicallys? Yeah. I was in Minnesota. Wow. I'm Midwest too. I'm from Illinois. So I love a Midwest girl. What were your parents thinking? Did they know you made these lip sync videos? Um they didn't I didn't tell them so but you were like blowing up like people were duetting you like Justin Bieber and all these things so like were they like what's going they didn't had no idea no they didn't how do you keep

it from them well um PewDiePie put me his video that's when I showed them and that's how I blow up wow the first time what was he talking about? Just your lip sync videos? Like, um, yeah, he was. Like, what did you think when PewDiePie made a video? Were you like, this is so cool? Or were you like, oh no? I was like, no way.

I was like screaming because I was in a restaurant that moment, bro. And you're in Minnesota. Yeah. And so you're like, oh my God, PewDiePie just made a video about me. Oh my gosh. Did people at school like, just like. They, um, when I went to school, they started to recognize me. And then someone else posted about me on Instagram.

And then I blew up on Instagram. And then that's how I got my fame. Wow. Thanks to PewDiePie and the guy that dueted me. And, yeah. PewDiePie, like, literally... Yeah, he can put anyone on the map. So, the kids were excited.

They weren't, like, jealous because you're, like, famous now. And they weren't, like... Yeah. They want to take a picture everywhere I go. Wow. Yeah. That's wild. Do you still get stopped like every day? Yeah. Every day. Cause you're so recognizable. You're so like a, you're a staple. You're always on live. You're always, so I think people just like love you and you're like very, like you're very like, what is it? Relatable. You know what I mean? You talk about body positivity. So I think people feel like they know you, you know?

Yeah. And they're just like, want to be your friend. Yeah. Because you're... I'm just myself and I don't try to be nobody else. I just am myself. And that's why people love you. That's why I love you.

Because you're just like a breath of fresh air on social media, you know? Because you are yourself and you just don't follow the trends. You're just like yourself, which is beautiful and wonderful. Sometimes I try to go on trends, but I don't know how to dance them, so I need to learn them for a little bit. Your dance ones are good. Thank you.

I like the dance ones. Your new place now, you just recently moved? Yeah. It looks so cool. We'll talk about that in a minute, but I also want to talk about your meet and greets. I was first introduced to you. Well, I've seen you on TikTok, but we share glam. We have a lot of the people that do the

same hair and makeup. They love you. Shout out Damien. Shout out Tony. Shout out Jason. And you get glammed a lot because you're a glam girly. And I think it was Tony who showed me, he does my hair and he showed me a clip of you, or maybe it was Damien, showed me a clip of you at the mall and it was like 10,000 people mopping you tell me about that to be honest that was my first ever meeting great so I had anxiety to be honest you did yeah because did you expect that no I didn't I didn't know people love me that much like for real I didn't know bro I've never seen that many people ever I've done concerts I've done like no not 10,000 people have never showed up for me I couldn't even imagine what that felt like i was nervous i don't know i was like in the room because i was too nervous to see that much people and then they were pounding the window that got me more nervous oh my god and then the security

with you or did they come after like the police they like the police they called the police because we couldn't even get out they couldn't even make room for me to and then i fell on the floor did you see that part yes oh my god it was slippery on the floor oh my and you're so tiny so you're like close to the floor they're probably just like good thing somebody picked me up really fast because you've been trampled yeah oh my gosh were you doing a meet and greet is that what it was yes i was doing a meeting at a store yeah which store was it it was beauty creations so beauty creations was doing a meeting greet. At a store. Yeah. Which store was it? It was Beauty Creations. So Beauty Creations was doing the meet and greet. Yeah. We probably expected like a couple hundred people to show up.

Yeah, never thought that much, to be honest. Wow. Never thought. And you got anxiety, but did you feel after like, oh man, that was really cool? Or are you still like, oh no, I can't do those anymore? When I was in the cop car, I shut the door with lock because I was too scared, bro. I was too nervous, bro. How old were you?

I think I was like 20 or 19. I not sure this was recent then yeah okay recently this year i'm not sure it's a long time that's four months ago this was the cerritos mall yeah which i know that mall very well and it's just like all those people showing up so now you can't i heard that you were like banned from malls i'm banned why do you want to go shopping i know i can't, I heard that you were like banned from malls. Yes, I'm banned. Why do you just want to go shopping? I know I can't. There's other malls though I could go to. Just not the Cerritos one. I feel like you might get mobbed anywhere you go. I think also meet and greets because you like advertise them. You know, obviously so many people are going to show up. Yes, you have to go incognito. Yeah, sometimes I look like a mess, but I need to take pictures. I can't say no. You always look good.

You never say no to a photo. No. Wow. I saw one where you were getting your hair done. I think this was recent, a couple months ago. And it turned into a meet and greet in the salon. Oh, yeah. That one.

Was that planned? Was that a planned meet and greet? No, it was not planned. So what happened? People just found out you were there and they just came in? It's because I told them where I was. That's why. Were you live on TikTok?

Yeah. Now, do you know now, like, if you're going live, people are going to show up? Yeah, that's why when I go somewhere to eat, I shouldn't tell them. And then when I leave, I can post them or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Always, always do that because people will, and probably most of the time they're nice, but then you just won't be able to enjoy your life.

Yeah, that's true. Did you get free hair that day? Yeah. They colored my hair. They put extensions on. Oh, that's nice. It's because I had events over there in Indiana and Chicago. Oh, okay.

So they came. You're doing a lot of hosting now? Yeah. I love hosting. It's fun. Because you like to go out. You're like a party girl kind of, right? Because you're young.

You're 20. Unstopping from going to clubs right now. Wait, why? Because something happened last time, bro. Oh, my God. Scary? Can you talk about it or no? Yeah.

They threw me drinks, so that's why I don't go to clubs anymore. What do you mean? Like, they threw at you? Yeah. Oh, my. Who? I don't know. Random people.

So that's why I don't like clubbing no more. Only events. Where you're, like, hosting. That, okay, first of all, this is why I don't go to clubs no more. Only events. Where you're like hosting. That, okay, first of all, this is why I don't go to clubs. I've never been to clubs, but that always scared me. People are wild. Where were you? Was it LA? I was in this club. I'm not sure. I forget the name. People are wild. That's so weird. What did you do? Did you just leave then? I just left somewhere else. Yeah. Go to a different one. Do you bring security with you? No. No. You probably should with those. Do you bring security with you? No.

No. You probably should with those kind of situations. Especially with like your level now of popularity on TikTok and just the people that come. Some of them can be rowdy. I saw at the mall.

I'm like, gosh. Yeah. They love you, which is a good thing. But it's kind of wild. So you're doing your 21st, but it's not, it's just private.

You're just doing a private party. You're not going to go on a tour like and host clubs around the country. in LA I think I'm going to the barrier to do it okay so that's your main thing do you like to do right now is the hosting yeah but I'm going to take a break after that yeah yeah for the holidays yeah because I'm getting kind of tired to coasting right now because I've been busy working you are so busy we've been trying to get you on here like like, literally since I started. You were one of the first guests that I wanted on here.

And it's been four months. I think this is your first break, your manager told me. And I was like, that's amazing. To be that busy at your age is crazy. How long have you been doing full-time creating? For a while. So this has been your, like, full-time job. You never really did, like, waitressing or anything like that?

No, I never worked in my life wow that's amazing that's so cool that your generation is just like can be an influencer right away and do really well i never thought i was going to ever blow up not going to die really yeah so when you were making these videos in minnesota you just were doing them for fun yeah wow you never did you have aspirations of like singing or dancing um i love doing my makeup dancing i love like dancing a lot i mean this is the perfect job for you because you do your makeup you dance how often are you live every day but i need to stop going live though why because uh every day is not good it's a lot for you because you you'll be on there you'll do your makeup you're just chilling but

your lives again are so real they're so. You're just sitting there listening to music, doing your makeup. And it's just great. It's not like you're being anybody. You're just living your life, which is super cool. Or sometimes I give people advice. I like your advice. I like the stuff that you tell people. I love your body positivity. I think that's what I love to talk about too. What other advice do you like to give people? Well, always be yourself. It's a good one. What would you give it to 20 year olds who don't have the confidence to go after what they want like you do? Always follow your dreams. And I never believe in myself,

but my friends believe in me. So I just kept going and yeah, that's where I am now I'm really happy yeah yeah are you at because you know I saw a live of you a couple I didn't tell you I'm a fan I watched all your lives a couple days ago and you had you were a little sad yeah you were sad you were talking yeah I was going through it because my dog passed away so yeah how are you doing now I'm doing a little bit better you have people around you that help you, and that's so tough. Yeah. How long did you have him for? I think my mom said we had it for nine years, I think.

Yeah. And was he back in Minnesota? Yeah, it was a girl. Her name was Chiquita. Oh. Yeah. R.I.P. Chiquita.

That's so, I'm so sorry. I saw that. I saw everyone was hurting for you on that. Yeah. I'm so sorry. It still hurts, but I'm going through it. Yeah. I saw everyone was hurting for you on that. Yeah. I'm so sorry. It still hurts, but I'm going through it. Yeah. I mean, it's hard.

I've never experienced loss like that. I don't know. It's like a hard thing to get. I guess if you have friends around to help you get through it and distract you from it. Just processing it's a lot. I saw that you're talking about, and if you want to talk about it, you can, how like your parents too, you said that you're close with them, but you said that you didn't feel like you got loved enough, like your sister.

You said your sister got a lot of the attention. Yeah. How do you deal with that? Because I know a lot of people deal with that, like not feeling loved enough by their parents, or not being good enough for their parents. To be honest, it's really hard for me. I just try my best to be okay with my family, but sometimes there's rough times. Sometimes I'm too busy to call my mom, but now I like to try to talk to her more. Yeah. Yeah.

You are busy making time for, especially when you're young and they live back home, back home, right? Yeah. In Minnesota, so you don't get to see them a lot. You said you always put your family first. Yeah. Sometimes it's hard. Like when I first moved here, I was sad because I moved out and it was a hard time to be honest. But I was like, it was for the best so I can make moves here.

And then when I'm ready, maybe I can go back home or live somewhere else. I don't know. Do you think you'll, you think you would go back there to Midwest? I don't,

I don't think so. No. You like California. Yeah. But I don't think I Do you think you would go back there to Midwest? I don't think so. No. You like California. Yeah. But I don't think I'll get to live here forever. I'll get to just do my own thing here for a little bit. Yeah. Maybe move somewhere else.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years living? I don't know, to be honest. I need to think about that one. Yeah? You don't have any, like, dream locations like New York or? No. I don't think I will be in New York at all. LA is nice.

The weather is nice. I think somewhere that's warm because I don't want like cold snowy. No. I know. I'm from the Midwest. That snow is not it. And then once you're out in California, it's just so nice. It's beautiful. How long have you been in California for? I don't even know. Like maybe a couple months.

Oh, you're really new. Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's wild. Can we talk about, we talked about a little bit before you came on. Can we talk a little bit about, I think it's really, again, you're so young and you're so like wise, the money situation. And I relate a lot to you when you talked about this. You came from nothing, made some money, kind of wasted it, kind of wasted it on stuff. First of all, what did you waste the money on? I need to know. Okay. I'm dumb. Stop. Okay. First of all, I wasted it on a MacBook, my phone. I really wasted it on- That's not bad. Those aren't bad. I thought I was going to say like if you bought like purses

or drinks. Yeah. Every time I go to the mall, I shop a lot. It's addicting. Yeah. Girl, I'm with you. I'm 36 and I still can't help myself. I feel like I used to have a problem with the money because I used to waste it a lot. And my friends told me and I got big mad and then I went to the club that moment. Oh my gosh.

And did you waste money at the club then too? No, I didn't. Okay. Were you paying for everybody? Would you pay for everybody when you'd go out? No. Oh, okay. So you were just, good. You're just wasting on yourself, as you should. Yeah. So you would just go shopping a lot. Yeah.

Spend all the money in your account. And then one time I was broke. I couldn't even pay the people that worked for me. Oh, my gosh. Because I wasted a lot. At least my, like, at least the people waited for me a little bit. And then I got on top of it. And then, yeah, I paid everybody.

Oh, well, you're young. so you didn't have any help. You didn't have any financial people to help you with payroll or any of that. Oh, no, I do it myself. Or sometimes I ask my manager if she can help me pay people. That's nice. So you can kind of budget. How now are you budgeting better? I try to not go shopping.

I just try to stay away from the stores. Stay away from the stores. Stay away from the stores. Because I love street wear. I like clothes. Oh, my God. I love makeup. Sephora, I need to stay away from that because I'd be wasting a fortune in there. Sephora, you go to get foundation, eyeshadow, it's like $300.

It's so expensive. I'd be wasting like $500 when I go. I know. But you look good. The makeup's your thing. You do need it technically for your job. You're doing live and people like to see the makeup. They should give you a sponsorship. Have you ever your thing. You do need it technically for your job. You're doing live, and people like to see the makeup.

They should give you a sponsorship. Have you ever been sponsored by them? I want to. Sephora, sponsor Shadi Bay right here. Please, guys, please. She's amazing at makeup. I saw your makeup today, and I was like, oh my God, it looks so good. Thank you.

Yeah, you definitely need a sponsorship. That's the way to go. Influencers get all these free things, and I never get free clothes. I buy my own Fashion Nova, and everyone's getting free Fashion Nova. I'm like, how are they doing that? Or even streetwear, they should sponsor you just because your clothes are so cool.

I love wearing good stuff, like cute stuff, looking good. Like what brand? Shout them out. Maybe they'll send you clothes. I don't have a special brand. I just love streetwear. Where do you find that? I'm so not fashion.

I don't know. I go to the malls, and I have a stylist, so he helped me. You do? Oh, that's exciting. One of my friends. I go to the malls and I have a stylist, so he helped me. You do? Oh, that's exciting. One of my friends. It's one of my roommates. He helps me. I think I saw someone say that in one of your comments.

Like, oh, is this styled by, what's his name? Isaac. Isaac, yeah. And you're like, no, I styled it myself. You do have cute fashion. Yeah. You do have cute clothes. Sometimes I just go to the store and try to look it for myself.

Yeah. Yeah. But I think you dress good. Is this a stylist or is this you today? Me. It looks good. I love the kicks. I love the pants.

Thank you. Everything is, the nails are on fleek. Thank you. It's really nice. Where do you get that from, like your love of makeup and fashion? When I first started doing makeup, I did it myself. I learned little by little. Did you watch tutorials or you just learned?

No, never. Wow. So when you were growing up, did you watch like YouTube or? I don't remember. It was a long time ago. Not memorable. No beauty people. Cause beauty was big. Makeup was big, but you didn't really watch like those kinds of things. Yeah. No. Yeah. I'm always curious. I'm just curious to know. Cause I've been on YouTube for so long. I'm like, I wonder what people watch like growing up. Cause you're born in 2002. Yeah. Gosh, that's wild. I graduated high school, like just a few years after you were born.

It's so crazy to see the young. I think of myself your age. I think of myself young. And then I'm like, wait, I'm not your age, actually. So the fact that you're doing all this at 20 is so remarkable. And the fact that you know now how to budget your money, that's so big. I still haven't really grasped, but it took me a while to learn how to do that. It's amazing.

So now you have help with that. Yeah. That's good. And then just don't go to the malls. Is that your best spending advice for people who? Yeah. Don't go to the malls. What would you tell? I mean, it's good spoiling yourself sometimes. Your birthday, for instance. Are you going to go shop for your birthday? Yeah. Yeah. What are you going to get? I don't know yet. You don't have like a dream list? No. No. What would you tell people who make a lot of money at a young age? What would be your best financial advice for them?

Well, don't be wasting everything. You need to have some of your savings too. You need to save up too if you want to do a business or anything. Interesting. Do you do any investments? I really want to start my own business actually. What? What kind of business?

Like clothing because i love clothes or makeup i want to do too oh you should have a makeup line yeah what would it be called let's not say because people don't think trademark it first do you like when people call you shawty bay or do you prefer jasmine uh shawty bay people call me by shawty bay but my friends call me by my middle name vanessa yeah that's pretty i like but my friends call me by my middle name, Vanessa. Yeah. That's pretty. I like that. Why do you go by your middle name with your friends? Because I love that name.

It's beautiful. Vanessa's a beautiful name. Your musically was Jasmine. Was that your name? Yeah, Jasmine. Okay, so when did you change from Jasmine to Shadi Bae? Long time ago. I just heard a song and then it said Shadi.

And then I just put Shadi and then Ba bae together you did it yourself yeah it was your own name yep so good do you have a trademark what's that mean i don't know is that like when you like cut like oh like you own the name if someone uses it you could like sue them or something oh yeah i need to do that yeah i don't do trademarks either i tried and i'm like they expensive and confusing, but it's such a cool name. I feel like a rapper or something would take that name. It's so cool. Wait, you were in a music video. I forgot to write this down in my notes, but you were in a music video.

Was it Drake or someone really big? Did you do a music video or no? Am I just kidding? No, I didn't. Okay, I read somewhere something, and I was like, wait, I thought it was music. So no music video. You were never in anybody's. No, I want to start music, though.

Really? I love singing. You do music video. We're never in anybody's. No. I want to start music, though. Really? I love singing. You do? Yeah. What kind? What genre? I just hear different songs that I like to hear, like sad music. Wait, what?

I love hearing sad music. People say I'm depressed or sad or something. Why sad music? I love sad music. It just makes you feel like you're not alone. Yeah. What's like a sad song that you listen to right now? I like X Extintacion Changes.

I like that song. Oh. Can you sing a little? How does it go? No. Don't worry about it. I'm so nervous to sing. I love singing with my guests.

And no guest will ever want to sing. I can't sing, but I love to sing. It's like my favorite. You collabed with Callie Ujiz, who I love. She's one of my favorites. How does that come about? Are celebrities like DMing you? Are you DMing them?

I think she DMed me. Wow. No, actually, I DMed her first. No way. Because I remember she wanted to hang out. No, I went live with her once. Oh, so she saw you. Bro, at first, I said, who's that?

I love all of it. I've been really into, like, Latin music lately you speak spanish yeah oh really fluently i'm ecuadorian really so you speak it fluently yeah wow you don't really uh speak it on like tiktok or anything like that no no because you could probably go to double your fan base oh yeah true you know if you did like a get ready with me i don't know how to read in spanish so oh really yeah i know how to talk it yeah oh i know how to read some words right yeah but just just speak it's probably more useful to speak it than any to read it anyways i love learning it i love learning languages so i've been trying to learn spanish but i'm not i'm not so good at it it's a cool language it's so pretty in song it's just it's hard learning some other language

You see me, but I can't see you. Can I tell you I'm the same way? I actually get really nervous. I get nervous at meeting people, too, because I don't have a lot of friends.

And you're just not, you're just in love with this person. You're just not fully over this person yet. Yeah, not yet. I think maybe it's best maybe not to be roommates with the person you're in love with. Oh, yeah, true. Maybe get another roommate temporarily. I just did it because it was going to be better for me to do content in that house. So that's why I took the opportunity. I see. How many people live with you now? It's four. Okay. It's cool. It

is a cool house. It definitely looks like a hype house or something. It definitely looks like content and stuff. Are you guys filming every single day? Uh, yeah, I'm starting to record YouTube. Wow. And so what are you vlogging? Your day-to-day life? Yeah. Sometimes I do that or I have someone to record for me. Yeah. I think that's easier when you have someone else. Cause I was always vlogging myself, but when someone else records you, it's just a little easier and you don't have to think about it as much. Do you like vlog when you're like going out to eat or your meetups or your hosting? Are you vlogging that kind of stuff? Oh yeah. When I went to San Diego, my cameraman recorded it for me. So that's up on your YouTube then?

Yeah. Oh, my God. Would you ever do a reality show? I want to, but they will ask too much questions. What do you mean? Like, do personal? Yeah. Has people approached you to do a reality show?

I want to do Hulu, but I want to do, like, a show. Oh, I thought they came to you. I was like, oh, my God, girl, take that. Hulu's where you need to be because it's like the D'Amelio's. Shadi D'Amelio knows me. Last time I went to a restaurant, it was my friend's birthday. She recognized me right there. She said, bye Shadi, right? Yeah. I took a picture with her. No way. Okay. She's like so massive, so big. You guys should do a collab. Yeah. That would be everything. Do you love her? Who's your favorite TikTok?

I love her. I always wanted to, like since I've been watching her, I always wanted to meet up with her and meet her one day. And my dream came true. That's why I tell people, always believe in yourself. Yes. Yes. Always believe in yourself.

Dreams come true. Like manifesting almost, visualizing. I mean, you're the greatest success story of that is just like believing in yourself yeah you said you when you didn't believe in yourself you had friends that did what would they tell you that you started advice what did they say they say uh keep doing you when I'm sad they always comfort me to not be sad it's not worth it it's amazing you have great friends yeah to have a core group of friends like that in your life is like really really beautiful I love having a small group of friends, not too much, because then who knows who's fake or not. Well, how do you decide?

How do you decipher that? People who want to be your actual friend versus people who just want the TikTok clout? That never happened to me, so. No one's ever used you? You never felt like, oh, they just used me for views? Well, sometimes I feel like guys use me for clout. I don't know. How can you tell?

I can tell by, I don like guys use me for clout. I don't know. How can you tell? Like, you just. I can tell by, I don't know, the chemistry or something. It feels like they're kind of only around when you're filming and stuff like that. That's just the worst feeling. Because I feel like now it's hard to know. It's like, do you like me for me or do you want to just be on my TikToks and my vlogs? Or sometimes I feel like, do they like me because of me or do they like me because my cloud i don't know yeah and i feel like that's hard i think for the rest of your life you'll just you it'll be hard for you to like decipher yeah sounds like the one who's gonna wait for you might be the

one that like loves you for you yeah that's true i think tiktok's rooting for that i was rooting for i was like oh this is cute and then i was like oh they broke up oh no we didn't he's just there but just not full-on yeah he doesn't care about the viewers or anything that's that's yeah that's someone he doesn't post about me or anything wow so he's just there for you yeah that's a beautiful thing i love that oh my gosh so like a core group of you would you uh if you did a reality show would it be like your roommate situation like all your roommates would be on the show and like what do you think you would be doing on the show like pursuing a music career i don do you think you would be doing on the show? Like pursuing a music career?

I don't know, to be honest. Just being yourself people would watch, you know, like Cheeky's show. You know, just like her performing

and just being her. I think that'd be amazing. Yeah. I want to do it in the house. I don't know. Yeah. It would be like, are you hosting things too?

I think that's just such a cool, you're just, life is very exciting. Like you just go out and have fun. Have fun. You're young. Oh my God, I think it'd be amazing.

Did you watch reality TV growing up? I've been watching the D'Amelios, actually. You love them? Yeah. They're on season three now. It's wild. I like Dixie. I think she's kind of-

I want to do it, bro. I want to. Well, I think it might happen for you because just people are so interested in your life. And because you're on live constantly, it's almost like watching in real time like watching in real time, like the Truman Show, like watching someone's life. Instead of going live, I should do like the show. Oh my gosh. They just follow you all the time, 24 hours. Would your family be on it, you think?

Or they're more private? They're more private. I mean, this month I'm going for Thanksgiving. Oh, you are? So you do go home. I never go home. I'm from Illinois and I haven't been home since I graduated high school. Because it's just cold. It's just like not my thing. I just go home. I'm from Illinois and I haven't been home since I graduated high school. It's just cool.

It's just not my thing. I just like to be out here. Where do you meet the guys that you date? Sometimes I meet them in person. Okay. Always in real life. Never apps. Never apps. I don't believe in apps. Really? You've never done Tinder? No. Why? Just because it kind of

scares you? Yeah. Yeah. And it's scary. We don't know how people's intentions are. Yeah. Especially on there. I don't know. I also don't know if they're real. Like, you never... That scares me.

Like, we've both been catfished. I'm like, ooh, it's scary. I wonder if anyone's ever used you as a picture on those. They did many times. What do you do? Nothing. I just like, what the heck is going on here? You don't report...

You ever say, like, this is fake? This is a fake profile? Yeah, I do. So people know. Because they probably think they're, like, going out with you or something. Because they probably think they're like going out with you or something. Or they're probably catfishing people asking for money or something. Yeah. Wow.

So you meet people in real life, like going out to bar, like, you know, your clubs that you host. You like meet the guys and they just, that's a good way to meet people. I never met people that way. But then again, they'll know you're famous because you're hosting. They'll be like, oh, this is the person on the poster. Would you date someone who's a fan? Um, yeah.

Yeah? I did before. And how'd that who's a fan? Yeah. Yeah? I did before. And how'd that go? It was long distance. Okay. And it was what? Just not that great?

No. I did not like it. Oh my gosh. I had to fuck up with him. Really? Yeah. Wait, because he was a- I've been with him for five months, so like- Oh my God.

But he's a fan, so you think he would be so excited to be with you. What was the toxic part of it? It's because when I used to go live with Walid on live, he always get jealous. Why? Because we make, like, people see, like, flirting or whatever. Oh. Were you? Were you flirting?

Trolls. I've been a troll on social media. So, yeah. I tell him each time, bro. He gets mad. Wait, you're trolling with the flirting? Yeah. He doesn't get it. Maybe he doesn't understand the trolling part of it yeah i love it so would you consider yourself

somewhat of a troll online yeah sometimes i troll sometimes i don't do that because people can't take a joke these days yeah yeah i love trolling too and i think people got like wait is this real or is this i think trolling is fun though i love when people still do it and you kind of don't know if they're trolling or not you know i? I think that's great. So you do troll a little bit. Yeah. You just like to like have fun online. Yeah. I think people know. I feel like your fans know when you're trolling versus the real you. Sometimes they don't believe what I'm trolling. Do you tell them? Are you like, no, that's not real? Yeah. I mean, I'm joking. So you troll with the flirting. What else do you troll online? Anything.

I don't even know anymore. Just random. Just like, hey, guys. I love when you go live and you're just like chilling. You're just vibing with your own. Because this is where I try to get your attention. I go into your lives and type in comments. But you would never look at the comments.

I'm like, look at the comments. Oh, yeah. I don't look at the comments because people are hella rude. Oh, really? Yeah. You don't have a moderator to block them? We do. But that's too many people yeah people are yeah people just like love to hate they're just tiktok can be that way but i

really don't care what they have to say i'm just myself yeah you're just you're like i'm and that's the best way to just ignore it just not even look and that's great though i just do my own thing so it doesn't bother you ever like hate comments or no how does how do you roll that off your back because they still bother me sometimes well i just ignore them i don't read the comments you don't read anything no not tiktok comments if i do um i would delete the comment i wouldn't care yeah do you just keep it moving because you're like they don't know me yeah have you ever had anyone be rude to you in real life no never they never come up to me that's why i'm telling them why you mean uh online and then you can't say it to my face always the case i've never had one

hater in real life everyone yeah they're too scared to ever like say anything i know that's just so crazy and usually people that like hate online they like are a secret fan because they're always watching you you know so it's always been good experiences positive have you ever had a crazy fan experience in person i don't like people that just um take videos of me without asking permission oh my biggest pet peeve. Yes. When they do it from like far away, they like sneak it.

And then the angles they take. Oh no. Wait, the what? The angles. Like, I don't like. Oh, the angles. Yeah. Because it's like,

just ask for a photo. Just ask for a video. Like, you always say yes to a photo. So. Yeah. And you also don't know their intent. Like, what are you doing? Are you being mean?

Are you being, you know, whatever. Or there's some people that try to be included in my group and just take videos of me. What? I know. What do you mean? They see you out in public and they just, like, join in? Yeah.

Not join in, but there was this one guy that, he was bothering me, bro. He was taking videos of me the whole time and he went viral. Yeah. Wait, what? Were people cheering him on or, like, you're creepy. Why are you doing this? I know. Were they being, would they like him?

They were saying, oh, this is so cool. Or like, what are you doing? He was drunk, so I let him be, bro. Oh my God, girl, you need security around you. My security was there. They kicked it out. He was still coming back, still coming back, bro. Was this at a club appearance?

Yeah. Girl, your life is wild. So this person's just like filming you the whole time and uploading it. Yeah. Oh my God. People are crazy, huh? Yeah. Well, I guess he was just a fan.

Just trying to take, I know. That's my biggest pet peeve too is when they don't ask when they're doing it like secret as if you're like an animal in a cage or something. It's like. I like when people are respectful. Like, can I take a picture please? And then, you know. Yeah. And you always, you always say yes.

I think it's amazing because I'm sure a ton of people come up to you. When you go out to like, we were recently at the same restaurant, Salsa and Beer. It's one of my favorites. And the hostess was like, oh, Shadi Bay was just here. People go crazy for you. So when you're with your friends and stuff, are they used to it or are they like, whoa? Yeah, they're used to it. Yeah.

Because my friends are celebrities too. Oh. And famousness. Okay. So they all have followers. So it's not as weird for them it's like okay we're used to this how do you get friends with people like that like i love famous people how are you friends with them i don't even know i just met them and then yeah just working

to julito i met the riveras wow thanks to jennica how are they they're so sweet they're kind oh i know so many mutuals too with the riveras j's. Jessica opened the doors the second time I came here.

Do they give you advice? When I hang out with them, I just don't tell people. I just keep it like low key. Yeah, that's the way to go. That's beautiful. And I love that. I love that everyone does that. You know, they take you, you know, because you're so young and people who are established kind of like befriend you and you know that they are genuine and they don't need anything from you. And I think that's a great person. Those great people to be friends with, you know, and give you lots of career advice. Who did you look up to growing up? friends with, you know, and can give you lots of career advice. Who did you look up to growing up?

If you had an idol, like who would you say was your idol? Charli D'Amelio. I've been looking at her for a while. Wow. Is she older than you? She's a little older. Or Jacob Sartorius. I've been watching him too. That's a blast from the past.

Yes. Oh my gosh. I've been watching him since Musically, actually. Wait, where's Jacob Sartorius now? I hang out actually with, with him recently. Yeah. I didn't make a TikTok, though. I didn't.

I was so nervous. Why? Yeah. Oh, my God. He was, didn't he have that song, like, Backpack? You remember that song? Like, you can wear my... Sweatshirt.

Sweatshirt. Yeah. Oh, you know. I remember that video. Oh, my God. I can't believe I'm friends with him now. Wait, that's wild. How did this all happen?

Cause your life like is, is amazing. Again, you're only 20 years old and you're just like one thing after the other, you're getting your finances in line and you're friends with these like people you've loved and they're famous in their own right. It's like

amazing how you just like line up one thing after the other. I'm glad to have my friends to be honest. Yeah. They like, they're the ones that pump you up. Yeah. And you think positive. You're not looking at negative thoughts. You're not looking at any hate comments. So that's probably a big key. I think you read, if I read hate comments and it spirals you, it makes you start thinking. Sometimes it does get to me. Yeah.

Sometimes, yeah. If you see something on Accent or TikTok. And then what do you do? It hurts me. And do you talk to someone about it or do you just push it down? Talk to somebody about it, my friends. Do you ever talk online about it? do you just push it down? Talk to somebody about it, my friends, yeah. Do you ever talk online about it? I wouldn't, no.

Never. I'm trying to not on social media because they always judge. Yeah, giving attention to it. They'll know it gets to you. But it seems like that you don't see it a lot, which is good. Yeah. And that you just stay focused. That's amazing.

So you've met Jacob Sartorius. You've met Charli D'Amelio. Chiquis. Chiquis, which is crazy. Wow. I met a lot of people. And who's next on the list i don't know there's so many people i want to meet there's yeah there's amazing people i'm sure you can meet anybody you wanted to because of tiktok like it's amazing and now you're doing youtube addison ray oh i love her she's like my queen too did you meet her no oh

my god she's like britney spears She's so famous. I love her. She's such a good actress, too. She's like acting in movies. She might be my favorite above Charlie. She inspired me so much, bro. Really? Yeah. So you're, they're older than you. They're a few years older.

So when they're blowing up on TikTok, they're like 18 and you're like 15. You're a little younger than them. So you saw what they were doing and you're like, but you were already pretty known on Musical.ly. Yeah. So did that transfer to TikTok, right? Because I wasn't on Musical.ly. Yeah. So did that transfer to TikTok, right? Because I wasn't on Musical.ly. So Musical.ly became TikTok.

So all your followers kind of stayed with you. Yeah. When did you, because now you're at 1.1 million. Is that where you're at now? Yeah. When did that happen? When did that fluctuate up there? I don't even know.

I just, myself, I don't even look at the following. You never look at the following? Oh, my God. Yeah, you don't even really check your messages either. I remember I'd message you. Yeah. And I'd hear, it's like, hey. Oh, yeah, I don't use TikTok. That's why I give you. Yeah, that's better. Honestly, it's the your messages either i remember i'd message you and i'm here it's like oh yeah i don't use tiktok that's why i give you yeah that's better honestly

it's the way to go because i'd message you i'm like girl hey what's going on and then you're like oh hey sorry and i love it because most 20 year olds would just be on their phone constantly dms comments and i love that you're just living your life yeah i don't like text people back never no not even your friends all of my friends. But just in general, like people you don't know. Yeah. I'm not a texter either. I don't love to text. If I express to my supporters how I feel, they could expose it or something. I don't know. So yeah, you don't

talk to fans then? Yeah. I mean, only the lives. Sometimes I read the comments. Yeah. I talk to them. That's a better way to be. Some people get a little too friendly with their fans and then people, yeah, it gets to be weird. But I think people, like there's so many people that love you. They'll like react to your lives and stuff like that. They just really genuinely think they're like your friend, you know, which is a cool thing. You have, you give off very good friend vibes. Like you're the friend everybody wants. You're

chill, you're funny, you're cute. And they're like, that's the girl I want to hang out with. I would. If I was 20, I'd come party with you for sure.

You have to give me the name. I feel like I want to get a name. I had a BBL, like, 10 years ago, and I loved it. Wow. Wait, so you have to hurt? No.

I was just talking to Tana about this, and I'm like, it didn't. People, I think, a little. It feels bruised, but it doesn't hurt. It's not crazy. So you're going to get, why do you have to work out before the BBL? Maybe because to lose, like, a little weight before doing it. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. Because just in case something bad happens. So that's why. Yeah. Lose weight a little bit. It's pretty non-evasive, but you know what? I was addicted to plus surgery. I really liked plus surgery.

So I'm all about like, if it makes you feel better, go for it. But you look amazing. Like you look so great. Do you think that you would just maybe not do it? Like you're working out now, so maybe you don't need it because now you're squatting and stuff like that. To be honest, I still want it. Yeah.

Because there's, you know what? And I like that you're real about this because, like, the Kardashians and all these people, it's like, yes, you can work out and they do work out and you get squats. But that shape comes from a BBL, you know, the little Coke bottle with the hips. Yeah. Well, that's exciting. Do you think in the next year you'll get it done? Yeah. Okay. And you've thought it through. You're like, this is what I want to do. I'm for it. hips. Yeah, well, that's exciting. Do you think in the next year you'll get it done? Yeah.

Okay. And you've thought it through. You're like, this is what I want to do. I'm for it. I'm like, whatever makes you feel good, you know, if you have the money to do it and stuff. Cool. So you're going to the gym in the morning. Do you have a trainer?

No, not yet. You do it yourself. That's amazing. How do you know what to do? I don't even know what to do. I want to go to the gym and I have no idea what to do. I used to go to the gym since I was little, like with my dad. Oh, okay.

So I'm already used to the gym. Okay. So you know what to do. Yeah. I don't even know what to do. We go for walks. I'm like, maybe that'll help me lose weight. I don't know. But so you're just going to like go before your surgery, just like tone up and get healthy. I do meal preps. No way. So you're taking this like so seriously. You're doing meal preps. How is it?

So we already have it against us when we're like

low to the ground. If I'm focused, then I will lose the weight. Yeah. But you look great. Honestly, everyone's like on Ozempic and stuff now. And I feel like not, again, it's fine if you're like skinny, but I always just like, oh, I look a little curvy. I feel like there's not a lot of influencers out there that have a little curves to it. So I think it's good to be healthy, but also keep who you are. Yeah. Especially you. You're just you and you're just cute. And I love it so much. What is next for you in 2024? If you had a magic wand and you could do anything next year, what would you be doing? I would just start my business.

Yeah. Yeah. So are you taking steps now to do it? No, not yet. Not yet. Because you're saving your money. Yeah. And you're going to invest in it.

Yeah. You have the marketing. You don't need to pay anyone. I mean, it's you, you know. People will be so invested. I would love someone to work for me too. That would be fun. Like what? Like doing what? Like packing orders. Okay. So I would love someone to work for me too. That would be fun. Like what?

Like doing what? Like packing orders. Okay, so hiring like a team around you to do it. You'll probably have so many people. You're going to have like a warehouse of people doing this for you. It's going to be really cool. I want a warehouse one day. Oh, man.

That's going to be so cool. You're going to get it. You're going to have all of that. You'll be having so many people at Shoddy B. That was my dream. Like in Minnesota, I was doing my business, but I was going to start it, but I just needed, like, more advice from her. I didn't know really what to do.

I mean, how, yeah, starting a business out of nothing is so hard. Do you have people now that are experienced in, like, makeup and fashion that are helping you? Well, my friend does, like, her clothing brand, so I can ask advice from her. Yeah. That's good. But you have a good team around you. You have a great manager who's helped you with your finances.

You have great friends. You have famous friends, successful friends that can all help you. So I think you're in a good position for it. Plus you have a loyal fan base, 10,000 people. When is your ban from the malls up? When can you go back to a mall and promote? I think six months. Okay.

I think the past six months. I don't even know. So when your line comes out, you can go to the mall, open a store. That's my dream. I do want to open a store. Oh my god. Or I want to give my mom money to open a store. It's her dream. Really? Yeah. With clothes and stuff like that?

Yeah. You know what? Your parents are probably so proud of you. I know you say you struggle, but they're probably so proud of you. You're famous. You're rich. They're probably like, what? My grandma's proud of me. Yeah? Do you talk to her? Yeah.

She came over here. I fly her out with my family, with my mom, my brother. No way. So they got to see how you live.

Yeah. And what did she say? I got them an Airbnb. Wow. Okay. So they can feel comfortable at home. Yeah.

So it's not with like everybody in the house because you're like a little hype house and then. Oh, I used to live in an apartment. I used to not live where I live now. Oh, you're in LA? You did an apartment?

Okay, so when did you move from the apartment? I used to live in Hollywood. Oh, how was that? A lot of traffic. Were you like in the middle of Hollywood? Yeah. Oh, man. I think so, yeah. Lots of traffic. Was this during quarantine? Were you out here during the pandemic? No, I wasn't. Okay, so this is after you... I was back home that moment. Oh, right. You of traffic. Yeah. Was this during quarantine? Were you out here during the pandemic? No, I wasn't.

Okay, so this is after you. I was back home that moment. Oh, right. You just said you moved out here like recently, like just like a year ago or something. Okay, so you're living in the apartment out here. So that was quick. So from going to the apartment to the house, that's just a few months? Yeah.

Wow. And you built up a business that quick or built up your income that fast. Yeah. And how are you handling it? Are you like, oh, are you still like, this is so cool? Or are you thinking like, okay, I'm used to it now? I still can't believe it. Really? Where I live right now. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, wait, is this my life? Is this real? Yeah. It's like a job where you're just like, wait, this doesn't even feel like a job. So amazing. I love meeting my supporters. They make me happy. Yeah? Yeah. When you see them out in

public and they just get so excited for you. I get so excited for you. I saw, I was so excited for today, you know. You're just one of those people who's just, again, you're just relatable, but you're so successful. So it gives everybody hope. You know what I mean? Like, okay, she did it. You know, we can do it too. You know, you didn't know anybody.

You didn't have connections. You did it yourself, which is beautiful. Who would be your dream lip sync collab? Like you do a lot of lip sync videos. Who would you love to lip sync with? Oh, Chiquis. She's a good singer, bro. Oh, my God.

Amazing. She looks so good lately, too. She looks beautiful. She has a podcast. You did, but you didn't do Cheeky's. You did... No. I did Angelica. Oh, that's right.

That's right. Would you do more podcasts? Yeah. Would you ever do one? A lot of people are hitting me up to go on podcasts. Now, do you feel more comfortable, like, to go on people's podcasts? Yeah, because I already went to one. And that too?

Yeah. I felt so honored because I looked up clips and I was like, oh, she hasn't really been on a lot of podcasts. So I love when I can get a first interview because it's just finding out so much about you. And I think people want to know more about you because you're public, but you're kind of private. You share some stuff. You share about body positivity and stuff, but you don't go too deep into stuff too much. But when you do, I think people I think people, people definitely feel it. You know, they're definitely like, oh, okay.

What would you have said to yourself musically at 12 years old? Like what advice would you give that person? Be confident and just ignore the haters. That's the most important thing. Ignore them. To ignore them. When you were that age, did you, did you read the comments? Did it affect you more?

Not even that age? No. And how did you know that from a young age to just ignore it and just not read it? Yeah, because I know people get to be rude. Yeah. You just already knew that in your mind? Yeah. So crazy. You're so mature beyond your years, you know?

Have you ever gone to... Do you have family in Ecuador still? Yeah, my dad. Oh, have you gone to visit? No. You've never been? I want to. I want to buy maybe a rancho over there.

Every time they do my makeup, I'll be like, come to my club. Yeah. How fun. Yeah. Yeah. Just live it up while you're young, you know, just do the club scene and have so much fun doing it. So when you host these things, people can come and take a picture with you. They just, yeah. Okay. So they know it's kind of, it's sort of

like a meet and greet slash come party. Yeah. Yeah have a party just for fun yeah yeah so you don't have to like always be hosting and stuff like that do you keep in touch with anyone from school no no one nobody talks to me really yeah i'm telling you why why i don't even know i don't have i don't like making friends to be honest oh i like keeping the circle you have. To myself. Yeah. Especially like high school. It feels like, did you enjoy it while you were in it?

Like middle school and stuff? You did. I was just scared to talk to people. Maybe, I don't know. Yeah. I was not confident

in high school. Yeah. And then what did it flip for you? What did the confidence flip for you? Were you like, now I'm who I am? because people

knew who I was so people started talking to me. so they gave you the confidence. Yeah. People liked you. So you're like, you know what? Yeah. I'm pretty cool actually. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of people knew who I was, so people started talking to me. Oh, so they gave you the confidence. People liked you. So you're like, you know what? I'm pretty cool, actually. Yeah.

Yeah. I think a lot of people. But I tried. If someone talks to me, I would talk to them. If they don't talk to me, then I wouldn't say a word. Yeah, because you get just shy. It's just like, I get that way, too. You don't know if they want to talk to you or not.

And when I meet my supporters, I don't know what to tell them. I don't know. I'm too nervous. Wait, really? Yeah. Oh, so they come up to you and they're like, Shani Bain! And you're just like, hi! And it's sometimes hard.

You're just like, I was just like, yeah, you don't know. You don't know if they want to talk or if they want a picture. Yeah. That's cute though. I think that's endearing. Yeah. Just being nice. Just being yourself works, I think. I think that's so fun. Oh my gosh. I think it's cool to get recognized. You know, like it's just fun. It feels like something yeah it makes my heart like happy when I see them oh my

gosh and that means you're doing something right you know you're making people happy which is like such a such a gift you know so when I first started um I didn't have many friends so like I didn't have no one to talk to so that's why I did social media really yeah you were let your outlet to yeah engage with people yeah I relate to that too it's like you I had no one to talk to, so that's why I did social media. Really? Yeah. You were like your outlet to engage with people. Yeah. I relate to that, too. It's like I had no one to talk to, so it's like these people. It's almost like you know these people already like you, so it's easy to be friends with them. Back then when you did Musical.ly, were you talking to people directly?

I've been talking to people on social media, not like face-to-face. Okay. So people would just DM you and you DM back. Yeah. And just talk there. It is a cool thing, isn't it? Social media still to me is cool like the fact that we got to meet you know what i mean like it's so neat you know i love connecting that way yeah and the fact that you can connect with people on there like the fact that i got your attention on there is so cool

to me i like i said i love celebrities people were telling me in the comments so really you texted me or something so i guess yeah i did you didn't see it so then i'd go on your lives because i always watch your lives and i'm like tell her to come on my podcast i want you know i'm one of those annoying usually i'm not i'm telling you i don't annoy anyone else the way i annoyed you i was just like can you tell her to come on my podcast because it's just so fascinated because like i said you're such you're so out there but you're still so like you're mysterious you're like a little bit of enigma and i'm like where did she come from what is she doing but fame at a young age, I mean, you handle it so well. Yeah. You know, it doesn't seem like you're going down any crazy paths or anything like that. You seem to have good people around you. Yeah. And did you

move to LA for what? What was the reason you moved here? I moved here for work because everything is here. Yeah. You get, get more sponsors or more work here. Have you ever done acting? No. Would you try it? I want to. I want to be in a show or a movie or a love show or something. Wait, what's a love show? Like a dating show? Like a reality show you would do? I watch this show, Never Have I Ever. I will be in a romantic show or something.

I've never seen that. What is that? It's like a love story or whatever. But it's scripted. It's like acting. You wouldn't go on Love is Blind or something like that? No. I would love to do that. Oh my god. I would love to do Love is Blind. I think that's so fun. I don't know if you'd find the love of your life there

but I would say hold on dating. Unless you meet the one. I think I should hold on to that because I'm too busy for a relationship right now. Yeah and sometimes it drags you down a little bit. I was so worried about boys when I was your age. I was like, I didn't get stuff done when I was young. Yeah.

And that stuff will come. Either you'll meet the love of your life on your way or you'll just, you know, you'll have time with that later on. Or if I focus on somebody, it's really terrible because I'll be only caring about him and not my career. Oh, are you someone who just like goes full into the relationship? You become like into that person. That's your life.

Yeah. I'm the same way so get your career get yourself established and then have the boyfriend later yeah you're so young and you'll figure that out do you see yourself getting married and having kids one day yeah yeah i love kids actually you do yeah okay i used to take care of my nephews really how old are they How old are they? They're young. Yeah? Yeah. They're little. Okay. So you have like sisters and brothers. How many siblings? I have two brothers and one sister. Wow. My sister's the one that right now she's pregnant. Wow. Yeah. So she's having more. Oh my god.

And you're close with them. Yeah, my nephews. Oh my god. Are they out here or are they back home? Back home. Okay. Sometimes I just wish my family lived here. It would be much normal. Maybe they will. You know, I moved my family out here. I told my mom, can I move you over here?

Oh, what did she say? She said she doesn't know. I think coming out here a couple more times, they'll, like, get used to it. It's because my brother has a girlfriend over there, so that's why. How old is he? He's, like, 16. Okay, okay, okay. For some reason, I'm thinking little brother

in the head okay so in a couple years then he's still my little brother even though he goes

I think of like I'm like I think of you as so young so I think oh little brother five but maybe in a couple

years then when he's like an adult she'll move out here that's what I did you know my mom moved out here

when I was like 24 or something and now she lives like five minutes from me and it's great oh that's cool because I didn't

want to go back to Illinois and I'm like I want to go back to the midwest but having family out here it helps so much i know you have your friends and stuff like that but it kind of gives you another level of like yeah security feeling at home sometimes i just feel sad i just i don't know i miss my family really yeah it just comes like at night time you just like yeah i saw that on your live i broke my heart like a couple of days ago you were like really sad on it yeah i know it's of your dog, but just talking about your parents and stuff too. And I was just like, oh, it's hard.

You're young. I mean, you're still very young. I'm 35. I don't know what I'd do without my mom out here. You know, it's hard. Especially with the successes too. You know, you have these successes, your birthday, all this stuff. You know, you want to show them.

I try to like go back home too sometimes. Yeah. When I have time. Just having a break. But you don't have time you have no break you're always going but i do have time on the 20 years i'll get to stay there maybe two weeks or one week well i'm glad you came here before you left because i was i know we kept missing you you were gone for a couple weeks and i kept missing i've been busy i have it everywhere you are you are one of the busiest people i know and i think that's amazing i love being busy you do yeah think that's amazing.
