Like, I'm sitting here. Yeah, I played crazy. Like, I picked up FECOM matter and threw it through the slot. And it hit him.

It hit a prison guard. Yeah. And he went insane, and insane. Like a little, honestly, I did laugh at the time because it's like, you deserved it. Like, he even came on and was like, oh, let's see if you're even going to get fed today. So it's kind of like, you treat somebody like an animal and put their back against the wall. Like, I wouldn't pick it up today. So is your name actually Majesty or is that?

No, it is not actually Majesty. My real name is Angela. Angela, okay. Yeah, Angela to it. How did you get the name Majesty? I created it. You created it? I created it.

Like, your majesty or is it? Like, yeah, like, I was sitting there in my jail cell one day, and I was just like, yo, like, I want a name. And I ran through a lot, like, of names. Majesty just sounded the best. Like, I let it roll over my tongue for a couple of days. Okay. So no one called you that before a prison. No.

And then I started forcing people to call me. Like, my name is Majesty, and I will not answer to anything else. So even at work, people call you Majesty? Well, my work is, like, doing my music. So, yeah, they know me as only Majesty. Okay. And that's your stage name, too? Yeah, that's my stage name.

And people can listen to your music. Yeah. It's on Apple. It's on Spotify music. I just released a single Sandy Cheeks for all SpongeBob fans. That's what it's called. It's called Sandy Cheeks. And it's basically nothing but SpongeBob puns, but also, like, telling my story about, like, I've been doing this.

It's, like, the grind. It's definitely planning to be a classic. And I'm doing a video shoot on the 20th at Coney Island. Awesome. Trying to invite everybody out. And just a celebration of my freedom because I've been home for two years, like, doing my thing. Are you still on probation at all? Nope.

I'm off parole. I'm completely free. Like, I got out of the state for the first time a couple weeks ago. Connecticut, actually. Right when you got off probation? No, I got off parole in 2022, like the end of 2022. But, yeah, I just haven't left the state. That's funny.

So is it rapping or singing? It's rapping. But it's like artistry because I guess like I do different flows. I just released a song for my daughter also on Mother's Day. Like, it's just my pain. through music. So I'm not a singer. I cannot sing. So I guess like if those are the two options is rapping, but I really just do art. Can you give us a beat or something? Give us a little rap. Yeah, I could do a little sample of a freestyle or something. I could actually do like my

daughter's song since that's kind of like all my pain and stuff. Yeah, let's hear it. And then we'll have a link to your, just to your music and whatnot in the bio and your social media stuff. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so you up and sweat my pain away, princess. I'm obsessed. Cold nights. You made the more. I feel the difference. Beautiful. You make me feel so beautiful. I didn't know. Hearts could smile until they put you on my chest. Madison, you are my breath. You're so beautiful. And that's just like a little sample of that. Just to give that to like the mothers and like, you know, people who do have children or kids that don't understand why their parents treat them like that. Goofy Goover is more like upbeat. Oh, you do a Goofy Goober one? Yeah, like it's Sandy Cheeks. So the original name was Goofy Gooper. That's why I said Goofy Gooper.

I used to be obsessed with that song when the movie came out. Oh my God. So you love SpongeBob? Back in the day, I've been watching years. You have to rewatch it. But the SpongeBob movie is a classic. The Goofy Goober, when the stage lights come on. That's why I love the end of Shrek when they're all singing on the stage.

Yo, I have a photo shoot where I did like the whole goofy goober we look. Like, my whole page is basically like Spongebobob. And that's what Sandy Cheeks is. So I'll give you a little, like, sample of that. I'm a goofy goober like blow bubbles and giggle but still I'm a uda these bitches is losers see straight through you like flank when he turned to the side not a boomer flipping patties make him crap but they bun so I chewer I'm a blow like Miss Puff got plankton's o'nvy through computers jellyfish slime um let it spark this kitty sound like love world when it's dark and like it's so much fun though it's definitely a party song it's a happy song but it's also like straight like if you know SpongeBob you know like flank like come on when he turns to the side he's nobody like yeah that's awesome how does it make you feel that 100's that thousands of people are going to listen to you rap right there. It makes me feel amazing. It makes me definitely feel empowered because I feel like SpongeBob is definitely an underdog.

A lot of people don't like SpongeBob or think it's childish. So it makes me feel like I'm finally like shining the light on not only him, Sandy Cheeks, of course, but me as well. And it's just so much fun to know my song is going to be a classic and like listen forever. Is it kid friendly? Can people show their kids that or now? Yeah, like it's a kid friendly song. It definitely is like a TikTok vibe.

like the beat and everything to it. The only thing is really like that one word, I think, is where I said, like, the B word. But besides that, I don't think it has any cursors. Same thing with Rain. Like, I am trying to create, like, a more open platform. But I'm not trying to be a role model either. Like, I just want to be an inspiration, you know, and still, like, maintain being myself and having my personality.

I like what you're saying out there where you're saying you want to, like, leave a legacy and podcasting's perfect for that because these episodes live up there forever. Yeah. Yeah. Where people can literally see, like, your life story. kind of summed up in an hour long documentary setting and it's so cool

like it's I've been going through like changing our old thumbnails on YouTube to align with our new brand and seeing all the episodes like the views like there's episodes that I first did that are almost at 100,000 views and it's just incredible to see that those just grow and grow and grow and there's a start it can't go backwards and that's like the fun thing about like

people listening to it because even once you heard it whether you liked it or not like you saw it and so now it's there and like you know a part of that person. So you're absolutely right. So did you grow up in New York? Yeah. I'm born and raised in the Bronx. In the Bronx? South Bronx. Big family, small family?

I just have mom and dad and one sister. Wow. Yeah, so small family. A lot of people that I interview from the Bronx or Harlem or anywhere in the city pretty much, they all come from big families. Yeah, no, small family in the house. Like, definitely, I don't want to say good household because that portrays like, okay, so like she was good household, but I would say blessed.

Definitely spoiled. At least you're honest. Yeah, like we used to travel outside of the country all the time. Like every break, like, you know, we were in Paris, Germany, Guadalupe, like all over the world. Anytime I had a hobby, like my parents paid to support the hobby until I let go of it. But I wouldn't say like, I would say there was a lot of trauma there and it's not like I think anybody's fault. Just more so like generational, you know, like what they were taught. So it's just kind of like, we're going to shelter you, shelter you, shelter you, shell to you, shell to you.

So you think you're over sheltered? Yeah. And what did your parents do for work? My mom was a nurse assistant and my father was a principal. So they had both good jobs. Yeah. What about the relationship with your brother? Were you guys close?

No, I didn't have a brother. Just a sister. Sorry, sister. Sibling. I meant to say the word sibling. And for some reason, I said brother. I wanted a brother. Like, I did want a brother.

Like, I wanted my sister and a brother. Okay. Never got a brother. What's the age difference? Four years. Okay. Yeah, we're like best friends now. She actually does all the ad lives on Sandy Cheeks.

She's awesome. My siblings, my brother is four years younger than me. Oh, wow. So were you guys not that close growing up? We were actually super close. We were like best friends because it was just us. Yeah. I think our relationship got streamed when I started like going to the streets.

But like, yeah, growing up it was just like me and her against mom and dad kind of relationship. Like, yeah. So it was fun. If she was here right now, how would she describe you as a teenager in high school? Annoying. Definitely like a little sister, you know? Like I stole her clothes. like I used to like bother her like I used to always want to be around her and her friends and I was like no like you're younger than me like go hang out somewhere else like you know um yeah but she still loves me like I'm her little sister like you know what I'm saying so she's always there for me and we're the total opposite like I'm really talkative and stuff she's like really like really like like just like laid back like she doesn't want to talk like you know yeah that's like my brother yeah do you think the majesty before prison would have ever have been

this open and honest about herself? Always. Always. So this is who you get with you. Yeah. Even years ago, you were always this self-reflective. I was always, I wouldn't say self-afflective, but I was always raw. Like, however I felt, it's just like what I say.

Self-reflective, like, I'm able to now, like, really, like, learn from each lesson before I kind of had a closed mind. So it was just, like, I feel like I'm right, and that's it. But even now, if I feel like I'm right, I kind of see where a person is coming, from. Yeah. I mean, it takes a lot to be able to sit there and really reflect on, because that's what I do as I interview people and reflect on my life. And I think about it all the time. Yeah. It does take a lot, a lot of energy to do that and whatnot. Yeah, no, that's true. Did you go to public high school, private high school? I went to public. I started in charter school for the beginning of my life. Which is like a private school, right? Yeah, I guess it is a private school. But they kicked me out because I was bad. Yeah. So I just, at five, imagine, in first grade, just being suspended constantly. Like, it's just kind of like, okay.

Yeah. So I ended up going to the school that my father was working at. Oh, that's allowed. That's not like a conflict interest or anything. It should be. Okay. Definitely should, like, that is the worst thing. Like, I would never torture my child like that. He was up your ass. What? It's not even that. Like, well, yeah, on top of that, right? Because, like, he's a West Indian father. Also, Jehovah Witness. So it was like, he was, like, he was, on top of me. But also, like, the ridicule, like, kids in the Bronx are not nice. Like, they are me. Like, oh, you only do that because your dad works here. It's like, no, I don't do anything different. I mean, kids are mean anywhere. There's bullies everywhere. Right.

Would you have considered yourself a bully or? No, I was never a bully. Like, I was always the kid that, like, wanted to jump in. Like, you know, like, anytime I was like, no, like, that's not right. Like, I was always, like, trying to defend people and defend myself. Like, I was bullied. Like, I was never the bullier. I was bullied. Yeah. When did you realize that you were bullied? Did you realize that at the time you were bullied or later on in life where you're like, oh, wow, that had an effect on me? I feel like I knew like I was getting picked on. Definitely made me feel different, you know what I mean? Which is probably why I relate to SpongeBob so much in a lot of ways.

Like, it's just kind of like, I'm just getting picked on from being happy in myself. And that is confusing the hell out of me as a kid. Like, what the hell did I do to y'all? Like, you know, when I was in sixth grade and I had my first fight is when I realized it was bullying because that I had the instigators like, yo, girl, like she's straight up like bullying you, like speak up. like, you know, speak back. That's when I started going to public school. And, like, everybody's from the hood.

And they like, yo, like, that's not right. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, and so I kind of got into the fighting. And, um... The classic high school chick fight, when the cops are, like, yank you out by your hair and handcuff you and stuff. The first fight was crazy. First of all, she hit me with a sidekick.

Okay? I got hit with a sidekick. I hit her with a bebe belt. I don't know if you know what a BB belt is. No, what's that? It's like this belt that has mad jewels on it and stuff. And it's the world. Like, it was the world.

And there was this guy that like me, he was like, yo, use this. And so I was like, okay. Like, I've never fought before. Like, I didn't, like, I just didn't want to fight. Like, I was honestly scared to fight. And until I had my first fight and I, like, I whipped her ass. And I was like, oh, it's that easy to get people to stop bullying you. So then it became like, I wish you would say something to me.

Like, I can't control being a Jehovah Witness. I can't control, like, my parents not letting me hang out with people. I can't control, like, what they put on me because, like, I'm still a kid, right? but I can control that I can now I know how to fight like okay don't say nothing about me like straight up so that's I was always just like we're all like that like you know because I know it wasn't my fault

like dang that's what my dad would always say you just punch the bully right in the nose yeah like just they'll shut up after that and the girls would always fight in the high school cafeteria that's when you would see we'd all be eating and all of a sudden you just see this like they planned it yeah just it it would be a great cat fight and everyone would turn and cheers down

the tables I would just just telling somebody the other day and they like were like yo you need to like make a song out of it and that annoys me with that I'm an artist and like every time I say something good it's like you need to make a song out of it like or can I just say that and it was good but um I was just telling somebody like you know the guns and like all these like knives and stuff is just like insane to me

because like yeah okay that happens always or sometimes whatever but it's just like people are scared to actually get in fist fights and that's scary because it's like that's where the real strength comes from like a good fight Like with hands, not gonna lie It's enjoyable to watch But just like this like

You think you can take somebody's life It's kind of like It's boring Like you're actually giving off like scary or a punk You're not giving off what you think you are Because you're preparing to go out and say I don't want to fight Like you know what I'm saying

The people that couldn't fight in school back in the days They just didn't bother anybody That's what you need to do Just go be quiet Like nobody's gonna bother you If you don't bother them like Yeah You know so

Now you were saying you got picked on Because of your religion Yeah. How did that make you feel that that that was kind of picked for you when you were born going into that religion? Because as kids, we don't get a choice. At all. That's how you're raised. And then when you get older, you can make your own decisions.

But those early years, do you have any reflection on that now? It was definitely tough. I honestly think that my life could have been different if I wasn't in the religion. I still kind of well.

The best part, those insights help you get more sleep, starting night one. Add it to your registry or shop at Nanit, N-A-N-I-T-com. No, I'm not going to lie. This year is the first year that I could honestly say I feel like I had a birthday and it felt like what I feel like

a birthday is supposed to feel like because again, I never had a birthday. Or celebrated Christmas? Celebrated Christmas, right? Celebrated Mother's Day. Like, I called my mom and say happy Mother's Day and she's like, you know we don't celebrate that. And it's insane because she's my mother.

Like, you know what I'm saying? So it's definitely different. I didn't even know kind of like what these rituals are so now that I have a daughter trying to teach it to her. And then also like, it's just made, with a target on your back. Like, because you, instead of saying, like, these are what I believe in and you can choose,

any child that goes up in a religious background, like, you have no choice. And that makes it so much harder because I have no choice. Like, these are the people that feed me and, like, bathe me. Like, what am I supposed to do? Like, I can't go against them. I have no choice but to get up on Sunday and go knock on doors. And I get ridiculed for that. Oh, you knocked on my door.

Like, you know I didn't knock on your door specifically. Like, it ain't my fault. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, you have an interesting perspective. about that because now you're in the position where you're the mother and you're not following that religion with your child. Yeah, because it's definitely like, do you want to do this? If you want to, sure.

To each its own. Like, you know, some people believe it's a cult. Some people believe it's this, but I don't really like look at other people to each its own. If that's what makes you go by, good. But if I'm telling you straight up and I feel like I kept telling my parents like this isn't for me and you're still pushing me into that. I definitely think the breaking point for the religion was like honestly when I was like, like molested and I went and told them and I got this fellowship because fornication is not allowed like the having control to a point where like you can

disfellowship a child who is only 13 for being abused is insane like and then for the parents to force your child to still go and sit in these kingdom halls right and it's the worst feeling because nobody can talk to you at all like and you have to still sit there because your parents said you have to go. And then when you're home, they don't talk to you. Like, they maybe ask you if you did your homework and your clothes out for school. But like, so, um, I was this fellowship for two years. So for two years at 13 to 16, like, I had nobody talk to because from one, well, it's from zero, right, to 14, I could only hang out with your own and his friends. I wasn't allowed to hang out with anybody at school. So, um,

that was definitely hard for me. And that honestly is what forced me to like end up finding friends in the hood like well these people would talk to me like they talk to me all the time like they'd be like hey like so do you think if that never happened you never would end up in prison no absolutely not i think um if i was never like even in me i was still a jovenness if i was never this fellowship i do not think i would have ended up in prison so you think that was the trigger point in your story that's what forced me to go outside yeah okay now when you say you're in the hood are you in a gang or what are you doing no no not in a gang it's always weird when you hear a woman say and i'm and i'm I don't want to say just because you're a woman, but because, like, we don't, when we hear

male guys come on and say, yeah, I was in the hood, we know what that means, essentially. Yeah, that makes sense. But when we hear a woman say that, like, are you slinging guns? Are you slinging dope? Like, we don't hear that as much, you know? Right. Unless it's on, like, a power TV episode or something. So, I was, okay, so first when I got in the hood, like, it was definitely, obviously, I'm a

gullible, religious girl. I got God a couple times. Obviously, I started off as. what do they call it nowadays? Atoothi. But I ended up getting into like money because I come from a good background. So like I never understood like how could you just walk around with no money in your pocket? Like you guys are telling me like you're struggling out here like you know what I'm saying?

So then I started getting some money like my parents don't give me money. So I'm going to get money. Like that was always my mindset. So yeah, I ended up, you know, just starting boosting home invasions. You did a home invasion? Yeah, I did home. You got to tell us about this. Insane.

So I had this great idea when I was smoking weed that we should start going to people's house during the day since I was cutting class. And instead of like, you know, actually going to school, like, let's go knock on people's doors and say we're doing a school project and ask, how much do you make? Like, you know, like, what do you do for a living? What times are you guys, like out of the house? Like, just questions that would help me know when. you're not here. And odd enough, people were giving us this information. Also, while I'm not gullible no more.

Because, like, what, girl, if you don't go to school, like. But yeah, so we just started getting into that, me and my friend, and it became this thing. And honestly, even that was innocent because it was really just like, we just wanted to, like, live and survive. And, like, her mom was, like, hard on her. My parents were hard on me. And so we were just always, like, running away, sleeping on the train. And it was like, yo, let's get money. So this is too female.

doing home. Yeah, let's be rich. Like, yeah, definitely. So are you guys using a weapon when you come back or are you just robbing the place when they're not home? The first time, we didn't. Like, we just walked in there. We used their suitcases, packed up their house. Are they home? No, no. Okay. After that, like, we started being like, okay, we should be a little smarter. Like, we're girls. Like, this could go wrong. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, somebody could be sleeping. But, like, honestly, it was just like this movie. Like, my life always felt like a movie. Like, it was really just that high moment of like, you know what would make us money? going in people's house, like, taking their stuff and leaving.

Like, you know what I'm saying? So that was what we did. Like, and we didn't have to depend on it. Like, and the conversation was literally like this. Like, and we don't have to depend on nobody, not our parents, not no guy, nothing. We can just be rich and live comfortably. We don't have to sleep on the train. Like, you know, because that's what we were, like two independent women.

I got, in the word, independent, actually chatted on my chest when I was 13. That was the first time I ran away from home. So great mindset, but wrong actions. Yeah. Absolutely. If you had applied that mindset to something a little bit more illegal, I think it would have turned out differently. Yeah. But that's how you learn. Right. But no one got hurt during the home. No, nobody ever got hurt. Like honestly, God was with us the whole time had to be because even for me not to get hurt. Like somebody like, you know, now that I think about it's like somebody could have really hurt me. Like I would really hurt somebody. Like you get I'm saying. It's just kind of like you put yourself in a dangerous situation. And also like I manifest now. So I believe in karma. Like that was bad, bad, bad. karma. Like, you know what I'm saying? Because people work hard for what they have most people. And so it's theirs. Like, you know, so I don't steal anymore. Like, I don't do home invasions, but I definitely still have the money mindset. Like, I still wake up with a plan. Like, you know what would make me make money? Like, just start selling plates. Like, just start, like doing music. Just start doing this. Like, start getting booked. Like, and like, I use that mindset. Like, yeah, now that I'm out of prison, it's like, okay, just do it the legal way. I tell people, it's almost like,

you're having a friend that don't drink or don't smoke. Like, yeah, I used to really be, like, in the streets. I used to really be doing illegal stuff, you know. But, like, now, just I don't do it. Like, no, that's not for me. Like, that's exactly how I say it to. Like, if this, any thing, like, you know what we should do? No, like, that's okay.

Like, you know, I ain't over here talking to the cops and not, but that's just not for me. That's something I don't dabbling anymore. Like, thanks. Like, you know, I have a child. I have my music industry. Like, you know what I'm saying? My music career.

So it's just kind of like, I do not want that to be taken away from me ever, you know. How long did your crime spree go on for until you're eventually caught? Probably like a month. That's it? Yeah. How old were you when you got caught? 16. Oh, you got arrested at 16.

Yeah, like literally my mom was like telling me because I was back and forth in group homes too. I had a pins wearing out. Like I was just like ripping and running. And my mom was like, when you turn 16, watch, the system's going to take you. like you're going to go to prison for all the stuff you're doing. And I turned 16 April 12 in August 20th. We got like indicted. And there was a group of you.

I was reading it. No, it was just me and her. It was just, you. So they made it, I think they paired you with some other people in one of the articles or something. They listed like other names I was reading, but it could have been unrelated cases.

Yeah, so that was my third bid. Okay. So like the home invasion was just my first bit. And how much time did you get for the home invasion? I got two years. Two years. I did two years. That was in a youth's facility.

No, it was in Al Beyond Correctional Facility. It was in prison. And how did you get caught for that? Because we were just going to hang out with our friends that day and we decided like, oh, let's do one. Like, you know, getting too greedy, obviously. We didn't do the survey questions

and like the shit. We just like, we boss bitches now. Like, we basically king. Like, just dumb little girls. Like, obviously. Like, you know, like, what? Like, Dave, that's like thinking we're in a hoodbook, honestly. And yeah, like, we ended up going to We wasn't supposed to.

And I ended up saying, like, this don't feel right. And that's why I always isn't my gun now. And she was like, nah, we got this. Like, we do this for a living now, only a month. And obviously not the right way, you feel me? And, yeah, the guy ended up, like, coming back in the house and then started chasing us. And I swear, he looked like he was 80 years old. But this is, this guy was the fastest runner I have ever met barefoot.

Like, he was in his garden, apparently. And we just didn't see him. and he's knocking on the door my friend locks the door so like he's like trying to get in we didn't see him we're like oh my God like we're in and like he's knocking on the door

and now we're like oh shit and like I told you we don't have one weapon with nothing like we're really just too dumb nothing just really like this was a great idea not like you know and he's knocking knock and we finally get out

and he starts chasing us down the blog and fast When I told you this guy was fast, like he had to be an Olympic runner or something. My friend starts, like, getting tired, and she's six feet tall. So it really, like, annoyed me that she was getting tired because it's like, dang, girl, like, I'm still, like, running. Now I got to slow down for you because I'm the good friend. Like, you know what I'm saying? And it's so funny because a lot of, like, hood dudes that I met, and I tell him that story, like, never, never slow down for the friend.

Like, you got to link up with them later and kind of be like, yo, you made it out? Like, never slow down for the front. I'm like, well, I didn't know. I was a sheltered kid. Like, obviously, even going into people's house was just stuff I read in books, right, and watched on movies. Like, I didn't think none of this shit through, like, you know, but now it's like, yeah, never slowed down for a friend. I'm watching this show on Hulu under the bridge right now and the Indian girl in it. She is like this normal, raised by a good family, very religious, sheltered homebody.

And she starts hanging out with this bad crowd to become someone that she is in it. And she ends up dying, but. Oh, wow. And I didn't spoil it because that's the first episode. But, like, it back traces back, you know. They show her death and then they go back in the later episodes. Like, everything she went through. Yeah.

But that's very similar to you. Like, you're just, you did not live that lifestyle. Yeah. You were not born into that lifestyle. Not born into it. Like, you know, I definitely have respect for people that are in that lifestyle. I was a choice. But then obviously, like, going to prison, it was forced.

So now it is a part of me. Like, you know what I'm saying? Now it's kind of like, oh, she needs. not from the Bronx. Like, I'm straight up from the Bronx. I went through the same exact struggles, not at the beginning, but now in my adult life, you know what I'm saying? And now, like, in my prison life, like, you know, now that I realize, oh, shit, this isn't

like super bad the movie or like, because, like, you know, Scott Pilgrim, like, those are the shit I watch. So it's just kind of like, you know what we should do. Like, that was really how it happened. Yeah, I'm curious about what your experience was like those first few days, because I'm sure you had an expectation going into prison. Yeah. And then when you're faced with that reality of it, what your actions were to kind of assert that you're this bad in me that you want people to see.

So, first of all, I went from Rikers to prison. So in Rikers, I was young. So we were in the, like, adolescent unit while I was getting sentenced. But I already know I was getting sentenced because, like, I was on the run. I was called. Like, now it's time to go. Like, everybody else was like, I might make it home. I was like, no, I'm heading up.

Like, I know that or whatever. So none of us have ever been to prison. It's not like in the adult section where like there's repeat offenders. We thought it was going to be like insane, which it was. But like the thoughts obviously as kids were like, yo, I heard like they get crazy. Like don't let nobody like don't bend over like the soap. Like you know what I'm saying? Like obviously we're just seeing from what's on TV and what we're hearing.

It definitely was bad, but it wasn't like that. But the first three days when I went in there because I was so scared that like somebody was going to take me and make me their bitch. Like I went in there on time and I was like. Like, listen, I don't care about nothing. Like, I know one thing for sure. Like, I'm not from the hood. I'm not in no gangs, but I know one thing. I can fight.

So, like, I don't know how this is going to go down. Like, you know, like, I just came in on that energy from Rip, which definitely got me into, like, the fights from rip. Because, like... Give us one fight that you experienced in prison. Okay. So my first fight was over the phone. It was the day before my birthday.

I remember my jail mom or whatever. She had, like, put a whole bunch of cheesecakes on ice in the ice spot. Like, you know, we just get ready for the next day for my birthday. And that was actually going to be the first birthday party I had. Like, you know, my ex-girlfriend at the time, like, well, my girlfriend at the time or whatever, she went to the yard. But she was my ex-girlfriend. So she was, like, mad, being petty and shit. Long story short, she came back from the yard.

I'm sitting there waiting for the phone. I'm next. She comes because now she sees me, oh, I'm next for the phone. I'm like, you're not next for the phone. Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm next for the phone. Like, she's trying to basically debo me because everybody knows I'm the youngest in there. Like, I was literally the youngest.

it's an al-be-on. I was 16, like, you know, and this is a time where, like, adults and adolescents are the mix. I'm like, no. So she hangs up, like, the phone call. It didn't start, but, like, I'm dialing. So I hang up, like, we're going back and forth for a good five minutes of this petty shit. When finally, the CO comes, because I choke up, because I'm not going no longer. Like, this is insane. I'm here next for the phone call. You was outside. Like, you know, the CEO comes. He's like, I'm sending both of you guys a shoe. Now, I've never been a shoe. Like, this was my first fight. So but I heard like it was like if you go to shoe you go to shoe like that's it like you probably gonna be there for 60 90 days like it's over they packing your shit up you probably gonna get some shit stolen like I'm thinking about the cheesecake that's in my jail mom's ice bucket like you gonna make me miss my birthday like you know what I'm like automatically like I'm like what shoot I didn't even think twice like now I learned like you know they just tried to threaten you like I couldn't go to shoe for that I start going to her I'm like pack my shit up like you know I'm gonna go to take my shit up like you know I'm gonna go take my shit up like you know I'm gonna go take tear her ass up.

Like, if it's going to go for, it's going to go for a reason. Like, and I ran back out there. I remember the CO trying to grab me. He was fucking tall as hell. Like, and he tried to grab me and I like slung out of him. Now I'm just in a bra running through the rec room to the phones. She's on the phone call with her legs crossed. Like, she's writing something in a journal.

Like, because I'm the crazy one or whatever. I dragged her off that phone and chill. Like the phone was just dangling from the phone to like the door. It was like a long ass weapon, very long. Like so long and so powerful that I didn't even know like she was stabbing me the whole time. She stabbed me right on my forehead, like by my eye with the pen. Like she was just trying to get out of my grasp. Oh my God.

What a mess. Yeah, like it was insane. So break down for us what a prison girlfriend wife is and what a prison mom is too so the audience knows. Okay. So a prison mom is basically somebody who kind of like takes you under the wing, shows you the ropes of prison. They've been there for a longer time. You know what I'm saying? It's like somebody you can learn from.

It's more like a mentor and like you're their protege. Like so that's how I kind of did learn a lot about like the streets and learn about a lot about like not being gullible. Like you know, because they were basically my mom. Like they taught me no. You can't just say yes to everybody. Like your food will be gone in a day. Like no, you can't just like let these people do that to you. Like you got to stop like what?

When I was ready to curse out the COs like my jail mom's the one who has to be like, come here. Like, you know, sometimes the CEOs who know like who you. your jail mom is and know like that's the person that can kind of like talk you down and like give you reasoning um they call them like they'd be like please can you like handle her so it's definitely just somebody that's there for you like when your mom's not because i was 16 like you know okay and the prison girlfriend oh the prison girlfriend you get lonely like i don't know what else it is i was not her bitch like you know what i mean like in that sort of speak where it's just kind of like she was like yeah you're mine now like it actually like i didn't want to be nobody but

girl. Like I was bisexual before I went to jail. But I was so scared of being somebody's like girl that I was like, I'm straight, I'm straight, I'm straight. But like, six months later, you know, she's still like, so what's up? Like, what's up? What's up? And I'm like, okay, like, let's try it. And like, obviously male and female prison is different. But female prison is definitely, I hate to say this because I'm sure it's everybody's worst fantasy and orgy party.

Yeah, so is it like orange is the new black where that it's just fucking going on everywhere. It's just insane everywhere. Like, absolutely. Because, right, like, lesbians is not a thing. Like, it's not like, oh, you're gay. Like, you have to keep that on the down low for women. It's crazy that that's more acceptable. Like, you wouldn't just casually see guys having sex in prison, but in the women's everywhere.

It's so weird how that culture established. Now, something you said that I want the audience to know about is you described how before there was a fight or something would go down, people would go and pack up their bags and stuff. And we would see that when I was in prison. Whenever a guy got popped with a phone, you would immediately start packing it up. because he knows the COs were coming.

Well, you do that for multiple reasons because your friends are not your friends. Like, there's times that I told them pack up my stuff and they ate all my food. Like, they took stuff. You know what I'm saying?

You come out of shoe, they're wearing your shit. Then they've got the people that are stealing. Maybe your friends, your good friends that you would trust to pack your stuff up or at the yard. And like this person know you just went to shoe and they're going to take, empty that out. Like, it's survival. in jail. Like, you know what I'm saying? Some people don't have nothing and no family. And I was blessed that like, even though like, you know, I was running the streets

and stuff, my parents, they were there in my whole prison bin. So like, I didn't really never want a need for nothing in prison besides love, affection. Like, you get what I'm saying, trying to get home, be free. Like, as far as, like, food, clothes, sneakers, like, I had that. So you want to pack your shit out

because that's going to be a whole new list you have to, like, if you, first of all, it's so crazy because when you pack pack your shit up, right, I go to shoe. If I did dead. In three days, they have to show you all your property. And then, like, you repack it for yourself. And the feeling that you feel when you go and they show you your property and you're like, my shower basket's missing, like, oh my God, like, where are those Kit Kat bars that my mom sent me? Like, I was going to use those, like, when I got out of shoe. Like, you know, like,

the stuff that you, like, had, and it takes a lot to even get it in. That's what people don't understand. Like, it's not easy. What? You get shit denied all the time. Denied, denied, denied, denied. Like, 10 sneakers before they're like, okay, we'll accept this. one. So when it gets taken, it's like, yo, damn. Like. Yeah. So in the feds, they would show us when we get out of the shoe. Wow. So you're not sitting there dwelling. You're just hoping that everything's there. And then when you get out, you're released. That's when you see your stuff. And if they ship you, you don't see it until after. Wow. And listen, and the prisons here in shoe, like, you're dwelling the whole 90 days. How are you going to whip that person ass and who you think

stole it? Like, I was sending the messages to my friend like, yo, my pink robe wasn't there. Like, figure out who's wearing it. What's like, for real? Like, what's going on telling when I get out? Like, she's sliding that off her body. Like, matter of fact, get it for me. So now you said you're at the woman's side of Rikers for a little bit. Yeah, the adolescence. Now, super important on the show because we had a Rikers Prison Guard that went viral, like 20 million views talking about the smell of the woman's side and how, you know,

he walked in, he's like that butt ass and then Badoosie and this and that. Okay. Can you verify that? Was it actually like that? Well, I can verify. This is what I hate. I feel like so many people, I just group everybody, I can verify that this is clean. Like, I don't smell like nothing.

Like, my cell was always clean. Like, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes I was messy because obviously I was depressed and stuff. But I was never stink. You know what I'm saying? What about the other woman? There are some that are bad. Like, you got to remember, in prison, there's crackheads.

There's, like, drug dealers. There's all types of different people. And then they go into all type of mental health illnesses. Like, there's ICP patients. Like, so. And he was saying that he would have. literally see like girls pads because they weren't giving out enough just hanging. Is that a thing?

No. Like I, no. Were they giving you enough supplies? No, they wasn't. But like you help each other out so. Like you get what I'm saying? Certain things do happen. I'm not going to say that it doesn't.

You know, but I feel like if it's not smelling, it's because it's just somebody in that unit. It's not the whole unit. Like it's maybe a couple people that are just dirty in that unit because I've been in like the honor dorm. I've been in like a unit where it was like all of us happen to be clean at this point. So this unit is clean as hell. Then you got like a Spanish mommy on there who sweeps and mobs every day.

Like she's burning the incense like on the toilet tissue paper. So it's not every unit. It depends on the group. So maybe that one batch that they got was like dirty girls. Like you get I'm saying. But like because I've been in dirty units before too where it's just like get me out of here. Like I'll go to shoot. There is rats here.

It stinks. Like you know. But then there's really clean units where like I personally. buff the floor, mop, sweep, like, spraying, cleaning it down. So it's here and there. Now, something that stood out about your story, and we talk about this on the show all the time, is that you had a little altercation with a prison guard. Yeah.

You got to tell us about that. Okay. We need the answers. We need to know what exactly happened and just give us the play-by-play. So that's actually, okay, so first bid, I'm doing the two years, right? It's the end of my bid. I've whiled out the whole bid clearly, so I've created enemies, the worst kind. the CO enemies.

Like, you really just want to maybe create the prison of enemies. They're safer. And a lot of, all of the Albeiancio's really didn't like me, most of them. There was something that were nice. Like, anyway, I got into a fight with a girl because they said they was going to jump me. They made this fucking burn book. Like, it's the stupidest thing ever. This is what goes on in jail prison, a burn book.

Like a mean girl, bro. Yes, and sent it to every unit talking shit about each other instead of us uplifting each other. You know, that's the sad shit that goes on. and then I heard they were going to jump me. So I went out to the yard with a lock and a sock. The officer got hurt. That's how it happened. They ended up charging me because they, like, already hated me.

So it was like, this is the opportunity. Like, he scraped his knee. Not even from the lock and the sock. You know what I'm saying? He scraped his knee on the ground. That's how he got hurt. Like, I seen the pictures in Orleans County when they were sentencing me for four more years. Like, you scraped your knee?

Like, you're in prison. Like, you're breaking up fights. So it's not like I assaulted him. That was the first one. They did the four years. There's multiple assaults at guards. All right, so the lock and the sock, because we see that in orange as a new black, and we do hear about it on TV. Describe that.

You're literally just putting a lock and a sock and you're swinging it and you're just whacking someone. And what's the effect physically on someone? I mean, amassed the lock and a sock. Honestly, I feel like, and this is what I told the judge when they said they were charging me for promoting prison hodgeband. That's adding question. You give us a lock. I can do more damage without the sock. The sock just allows it to do like, yeah, if somebody's jumping, you're swinging wherever.

Like, it's swinging. Like, you get them saying. But it adds cushion if you think about it. Like, an actual lock, if you're just holding that and really rocking somebody, it's kind of like, how could you say that I'm using a weapon? I've created softness through the weapon you gave me. Wild. Okay. So then that happens.

You get another four years. And then it's important for the audience to know that you literally turned a two-year sentence into almost a 10-year sentence. Yeah. Okay, so that happens. Does your second bid tell us about that assault? So the second bid, like, definitely still didn't learn my lesson, definitely still wilding. But I'm back and forth because in this bid now, like, I'm out of shoe long enough to do welding, cosmetology, a little bit of college, like, you know, I'm doing better. So, like, the CEOs who obviously know me since I was 16, like, oh, you're getting better.

But there's them that still hate me from, like, when I was wild and, like, you know, just violating them. Anyway, I ended up getting itself fight in the yard again Losing my date, my grandmother had just passed away Like, you know, it was definitely a hard time My friend was having a baby, like that's just feeling of you're missing life again An officer tackled me and he got hurt It's never my like stop trying to grab me I don't know, I don't know what to tell them

And they put me in shoe They like knew that I was like basically getting a lot of time It was going to be 275 days, like basically two years. And I had two years left. So, like, it broke me. I went to OB. Long story short, while I was an OB, like, they abused me. You know, they beat me up in the cell.

They wasn't letting me see the doctor. And, like, what OB is, basically, because I understand maybe some people don't know what it is, is, like, the emergency room for psych patients. Like, you've broken. Like, you know, they've broken you to appointment. where you thinking about killing yourself. And so you need to go and be watched. And that's the point that I was at at that time.

So I went there for help. And that's not what I got. I actually got tortured. Like, they were feeding me my food out of my hand. Like, OB also doesn't have any, like, cameras that record. It's only live feed. So once it's gone, it's gone. They were beating me up in the cell and saying that I was trying to kill myself with my panties.

Like, they would just stand outside my cell and talk shit to me. They let me sit in my own blood. Like I didn't have a pad. Like I was just in a turtle smock naked. Like, you know, it was definitely torturous. Wasn't let me shower anything for 30 days. O.B. is a place that's only meant to, like, have somebody house for three days. So people were coming in and out and I couldn't see them, but I was hearing them.

It was so crazy to the point that I was singing my sister's address to one of the girls that I couldn't see, didn't know who she was and telling him, please write my sister because I feel like they're going to kill me. Like, you know what I'm saying? It was definitely hard. So one CO ended up coming in one day And telling me like they're gonna kill you Like she straight up said that to me like She got me McDonald's and then was like they're gonna kill you And they're not trying to let you out to Albion

And that's why they have you like in the cell You need to get out of here And you need to get out of here fast And I was like I don't know what to do like Because I was really still broken about my grandmother Like this was just adding on to us It was really just like I don't see myself ever getting out of prison Like I want this to end

You know what I mean? Like it's just overwhelming Like it's too much And she was like girl and she looked at me like, and she was like, you got to act crazy. Play crazy. Like, go crazy.

Do you hear what I'm saying to you? You see the ICP patients? Like the real psycho ones who are off there, go crazy. And they're going to ship you to Bedford, which is the max facility. That's the only way. I was like, but I have 275 days in shoot. So she told me they were leaving me and shoot

because if they never finished my, I mean, an OB because if they never finished my hearing, they can't ship me to Bedford because two years automatically would ship me to Bedford because it's Macs. status. Like, that's too much time and shoe to be housed in a medium facility. So they were actually holding me there purposely, me not even knowing. I'm just grieving, like, trying to get help wondering, like, why aren't they let me see the doctor? Like, you know what I'm saying? And also

being tortured. Like, and she was like, play crazy. So that night, I played crazy. Like, my toilet hasn't been flushed in days. Like, I'm sitting here. And so, yeah, I played crazy. Like, I picked up Fecl Matter and threw it through the slot. And it hit him. It had a prison guard. Yeah. And he went insane, fucking insane. Like a little bitch. Honestly, I did laugh at the time because it's like, you deserved it.

Like, he even came on and was like, oh, let's see if you're even going to get fed today. So it's kind of like, you treat somebody like an animal and put their back against the wall. Like, I wouldn't pick shit up today. You know, this is like an urban myth because people, we've had people on inmates share that they've seen this happen. And then prison guards on the show that say this does happen. But no one actually ever sees this or has first witness. that this has happened to them. So for you to say,

not happen to me, but yeah, you've taken your own shit and threw it out of prison guard. I did. I had a magazine in there, so I did like, I'm dainty.

Like even now, I think I have more OCD because of that situation. So you put your hand to the toilet? Yeah. Holy. And picked it up and threw it

through the slide. You know, honestly, like I think about it because, you know, at this time I was in prison for six years. Yeah. And I heard it too.

Like, obviously. Like, you know, the people are like, yo, there's people that throw shit. I'm like, those people are insane, they're sick. Like, I could never, but I never was an OB.

I was never behind those scenes, like, you know, of the things that don't have and the things you don't see in prison, even though you're in prison with the same person. You know what I mean? And so now, it kind of, like, doing that made me have an open mind feel because it's kind of like, you can't judge a book by cover, and you definitely can't judge until you've put yourself in that situation. Because for 30 days being tortured, like anywhere, right? Like, even in a third world country, it's like, you don't.

know what you would do. Like you've been like strained to your breaking point. Basically, like, you get what I'm saying? And somebody's telling you, like, they're going to kill you in here. And you watch people die in here. Like, you know what I'm saying? It's kind of like, I guess I got to throw shit. Like, fuck.

Like, I got to do it. Like, you know what I'm saying? Even the people in the OB cells next to me and these were saying people just come to see their girlfriend, honestly. They're like, no, sis. Like, you got to get out of here. Like, I know it's nasty. Like, they were talking me through it.

So it wasn't like, I was just like, oh, banana's crazy. but it was like I have to save myself. And like I feel like I deserve to go home. Like, yeah, I was doing home invasions at 16 for a month. It wasn't even like real home invasions, if I'm being honest. I did deserve the two years. I do take accountability because what I did was completely wrong going into people's house. But I did not deserve to be tortured for 30 days in OB.

Like, you know what I'm saying? Maybe I even deserve the second bid because, like, I shouldn't have been swinging a lock and a sock, even though that was kind of corny because it's like, I watched somebody swing a lock in a sock so that's how I know how to swing a lock in a sock and that person didn't get one and a half to three like fuck you like you know what I'm saying like where did I learn that for I'm home

like you think I just was sitting there like like hmm lock and a sock this happens in prison every week you know so it was just kind of like that I didn't even deserve right but 30 days being tortured like I'm not a human like just a piece of shit like telling me that my mom

should have never had me you know just literally torturing somebody while they're grieving like, man, yeah, like, it sucks that I did it. It sucks that people probably think I'm nasty for doing it or that people are going to have their own opinions when they hear this. But at the end of the day, I don't want to go to it. I did my time for that too. I ended up getting one and a half to three for throwing shit.

So now I can say, like, you deserved it. You're torching me for 30 days. Like, they, I was sitting out in front of Gummer Kumo's office because during COVID they let me come home for a couple months. And I put a change petition up. I told everybody my story on YouTube. and I was like, please, like, I got a taste of freedom. I don't want to go home.

Like, I mean, not go home. I don't want to go back to prison. I want to stay home. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was a dumb kid, but I've learned so much in these years, like, you know, and just growing from experience. Like, I really, like, in 2020, I really wanted to be home. Like, I didn't want to go back to prison. And so, like, I fought for my life again, like, you know, that hard work ethic that you get from prison because you're working for 10 cents and you do a hard labor.

Like, people that went to prison and came home, like, we worked hard because, like, we worked for less. Like, harder. Like, I was welding for 10 cents. The garbage cans that are in New York City everywhere, prisoners weld that. The people that answer the phone for DMV, that's prisoners. Hello. Like, and we're getting paid 10 cents if that and being tortured by these same COs. So I'm going to work hard for $10, $18, $20.

Yeah. Like, I'm going to make it work for me, you know. You have to do what you have to do to survive. Yeah. Like, it's way better than what I was in. So how much time did you end up serving altogether? Altogether, I did 10 years. I went when I was 16 and I came home when I was 26.

And you're 28 now? I'm 28. Okay, we're the same age. Yeah, oh, wow. What's your birth month? April 12. April, so what does that make you a... Aries.

Oh, Aries. So you're almost a Taurus, right? Yeah, well, I'm a... Hey, you there in the baby registry rabbit hole. The thing experienced parents agree on, a nanit smart baby mom.

I definitely do watch a lot of people go through the same things that I've went through and not be able to make it out to even be the same to release seven songs, manage your own self as an artist, you know, kind of pick up on all the social media and stuff. Like that's going on after being gone for so long and removed, you know, it has to be fired me. Like when I read the stuff about Ares, it's like, no, this makes sense. Like I just am going to go, go, go, go, go. I'm not going to say it's everything because some of the stuff is like, okay, but I'm still my own person.

But the energy is definitely what horoscopes is about. So that energy, whatever you create with it is yours. But it's the energy that you're given for your son. You know what I mean? So whether it's a Libra, you're born with balance. How are you going to use that? You know, as the Aries, we are born with fire inside of us. If you meet any Aries, you know, like, they are the life of the party.

What do you think I am? I would say, honestly, I feel like you're a calm spirit. So I feel like you're either a Virgo or a Leo. Not neither. Really? I'm a Gemini. A Gemini. I know.

It's very unique. It's very unique. I know. Wow. Maybe my old self would more accurately be described as a Gemini. Yeah, because Gemini is a definitely also life of parties. They definitely are. Well, I did you still in a club?

So did you rebuild a relationship with your parents after prison? I did. Because I feel like prison doesn't necessarily fit the mold of who you were supposed to be. I tried. That's what I'll say. And I tried because it's that last bid that just kind of really took the wind out my back, especially after being tortured for 30 days in the beginning of the bid. Like, I was just blessed that.

They didn't even send me back to Albion. They put me in Taconic. And that was close to the home, obviously, because I'm from the Bronx. I was 45 minutes away. They were able to come see me more. My sister was able to come see me more. The COs were nicer because they also from the city, so they kind of get it more. You know what I mean?

Like, so I did start building more of a relationship with my parents and with my sister. Like, I wasn't in a shoe all the time. So I could actually write them and call them and not be in anger. So I started, like, manifesting my last bid and started doing the secret, reading the 48 laws of power, really taking it serious, like, you know, about, like, life. And let me figure this shit out. Because this cannot be it. Like, you know, that feeling where it's like, hell no. I know like I did some bad shit in life

But I don't think like this is supposed to be what like I deserve Like you know correct me from wrong God But like you think this is it? No like so we got to figure it out like And whether they want to accept who I am now or not I had to mend that relationship because I need to accept who they are You know what I mean like my father is 75 now God bless his heart like because 75 like I hope I can make it to 75

and still be, like, healthy enough to preach to my daughter about, like, how, like, maybe the clothes she's not wearing is appropriate. You know what I mean? Like, you have breath. You have life. And I realize you are who you are. And my mom, who is who she is, you know, and, like, I guess you could say they wanted the best for me. But they didn't know what the best was for me, even when I was telling them what I needed for me. So I kind of use that now, like, that healing with my daughter where, like, yes, I'm the adult.

So I know, like, mostly what's the best. But if I see my daughter in any way, shape, or form, not just by talking, expressing that this is not what she feels comfortable with. Like, let's work to fix it so that you can be comfortable in your skin. Because when you're comfortable in your skin, like, you don't end up in situations like I did. You don't because you're comfortable with your skin. So you could comfortably say, I don't drink. I don't smoke.

I don't want to do that. That sounds great. Home invasion? Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you could think because you're healed. But when you're going through so much trauma, it's like, You can only think to the next little splurge, the next little fun, like, you know. So we're better.

I still constantly have to remind them and speak up for myself. It takes time. Yeah, and it's hard to speak up to your parents, especially when they're, like, harsh parents. Even at 28, sometimes I feel like they could beat me. And they probably can't, like, because I would definitely fight back now, like, sorry. But it's just that kind of, like, feeling we're like, it's quiet down, especially when it's, like, comes to my music because I have a daughter. Like, hey, think about getting a job And I have to keep explaining to them, hey, this is my job.

Like, why don't you guys believe me? Like, why don't you believe that I'm going to be, like, you know, on BET and getting invited to the Grammy Awards in September? Like, why don't you believe that I release seven songs on all, like, all platforms, stream music videos by myself, like, you know, with barely a budget. And I'm not doing anything illegal. I'm not doing drugs. Like, I have my own apartment.

I take care of my daughter. Like, so it's still kind of. kind of like the disconnect, of course, because I was in prison for 10 years, where it's kind of like, they don't see me as an adult no matter what. It's like, you're still 16. Like, so I just have to keep a mind of them. No, I'm 28. Like, I'm still going to wear what I want to wear. Like, I pay my own bills. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I do, I do, but I thank you for the advice. I thank you for, like, the loving aspect that you're trying to give me. Like, I guess I'll take it in heed, you know. Absolutely. What did you get into for work when you got out? What was

that adjustment like so when I first got out automatically I wanted a job like I had it already in my vision board if I get a job for $20 an hour and save it up this much like you know that feeling um my first job when I got out was actually let me see this time oh it was with sea wolf yeah so it's this really really fancy restaurant in um Williams bridge Kent like Brooklyn and it's really nice it has like this beautiful sunset and I was the host there and I went from $14 to $17 in two months because, like, my work ethic, right? Like, I was used to working in a mess hall. So, like, not only am I hosting, but like, oh, I see the waitresses need help, like,

here you go, like this is so easy. Like, it's like diner dash or whatever. And so I did real good there, but I ended up finding I was pregnant. So I quit because it was in Brooklyn. I was in the Bronx. Like, yeah, I could do that by myself, but like pregnant, no. And then it's seafood. So it was going to make me, like, nauseous all the time or whatever.

I tried it, but I quit. Then I ended up. getting a job at Planet Fitness, and I worked there my whole pregnancy while I was in medical school overnight. It was good. Like, I was basically the manager there, and that's like, honestly, working all these jobs, I realized my potential. Like, even with that job, like, I was basically the manager. The manager didn't know how to manage. And I was like, why don't you do it like this? And he was like, you basically, I manage. And obviously, I wasn't getting paid for it. Because, again, I just came home. So $18 to me is fine. Like, what? I'll be the manager. All right. You do this,

because I couldn't do anything else either. I was. pregnant. So I just literally sat there all night. Perfect. Then I ended up like going on maternity leave. When I came back from maternity leave in April, I found out playing a fitness was no longer 24 hours. So I got let go. I was like without a job for a little bit or whatever because, you know, I was in a relationship. That wasn't going good. My last job was working at Spyscape as a security guard. From home invasions to security guard. Yeah, I know. I started as a brand ambassador, but like, again, such good work ethic.

I feel like they were the first company that, like, realized that my first week working there, they were like, oh, who wants to do a project? And I was like, me, because I haven't worked for months. So my plan was to get a job and use all that money to do my music, and then I could quit the job. And now I'm an artist, like, simple. And I ended up working 90 hours, my first paycheck. Wow. hours with a three-month baby and handling it all because at the time, like, yeah, well, not at the time still, but yeah, he's basically another child, my baby father. So it's kind of like two babies I was handling and working 90 hours. That check was amazing. I released Betty Boom. I did the music video for it. Like, I got so much done. But December, I got fired. But I feel like it's a part of my manifestation journey because the next day I found out that I was approved for my apartment. So I ended up getting my apartment, you know, now I'm living beautiful.

Like every day I wake up and I'm just like, thank you God. Like, yo, like this is where I'm at now. Like, this is fire, you know, and I'm just really grateful. So I'm not looking for a job because I feel like he realized I wouldn't have never quit that job. Like that job, honestly, that was the first job. I feel like they appreciated me even though they didn't. And like I would have never quit. And I feel like he knows like, no, music is meant for your soul.

Music is what allowed me to stop fighting in prison. It's what allowed me to, like, heal. Because, like, once I released a song, I don't care about it no more. Like, that pain is gone now. Like, the pain of Sandy Cheeks, the pain of, like, going and nobody's seeing me. And I keep going. Like, it's gone. It's gone.

I voted in a song. I do the music video. It's classic now. It's gone. And every time I feel like that, I just listen to it. And it's gone again. Like, so I feel like this is definitely my purpose. And not just to inspire people.

that maybe go through what I went through or thinking about going the path that I went down, you know. Just or people that like, you know, never been to prison or not going to prison, but sometimes our mom or just working hard and like I'm tired. Like follow your dream, you know, because it inspires others. And it's not easy, but like it's worth it in the end.

It's so worth it. Like it's really worth it. Like to even see myself now sitting here talking with you. Like, what? When I was in like 20-9th, I was like, I'm never going to make it out of prison. Like, I just keep turning one, like, bit into three, it's like, I'm never going to make it out.

Like, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but prison's not for me. Yeah. Has your criminal record affected housing at all or, um, finding a job when you were in that phase. I know now you're focused on music and you do have an apartment, but leading up to that, how did that affect you? Um, it definitely affected me because, uh, it's only like, it's a limit, if that makes sense.

It's a limit because no matter what, you were in prison so people automatically look like they can get more out of you because it's like you need this opportunity which is what the last job did like I told them about my background when they did the background check and um they were like don't worry about it but just don't tell anybody oh oops whatever but um yeah so it was kind of like I feel like they were overworking me and like doing shit to me even though I had a child and stuff like you know not trying to promote me and stuff because it's kind of like well you need this this is probably the highest paying job you're going to get and they're right this is probably the highest paying job I'm going to get and let me tell you why you're I did medical school, went through the whole thing. I did, what other license did I get recently? The security license, the security at that, like, even though they had me at that, I couldn't get the license because I would have to go to Albion and then to Albany and then, like, hope that they do a certificate of relief. And it's not because, like, you can get it if you have one felony.

I have three. So it's like this whole other process. I went, I tried. I went to Queens. I got the disability certificates. And they were like, but you have to go now and get to Albion. and bring those together and then go to Albany and sit in front and see if like,

okay, I'll just be a rapper. Like, you know, like, at this point, because, like, I also don't plan on living on 18 an hour for the rest of my life. Like, fuck no. What? Like, come on. And the sickest part is that, like,

people like my parents and stuff be like, okay, but you can. So you want me to struggle after I already struggle for 10 years is insane to me. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yes, you can get a job when you come out of prison. It's never going to be the job that you saw yourself when you were a kid.

It's never going to be a job. lawyer or a doctor. Like, you know, hopefully they change that stuff, you know, but it's very limited. I even did a whole life insurance class, paid $400 when I got fired from this job. I was like, okay, I'll be a life insurance agent. And I ran into a problem because I have three felonies. Not one, not two, three. You know what I'm saying?

And even though I explained what happened, it's kind of like, you have three felonies. Like, at 28, we don't trust you. Maybe it's just the universe forcing you to be an artist and to follow your passion. Like, you have no other way. That's the way I live. It is. And that's why I feel like that. Like, I feel like God knows, like the universe knows.

What's meant for you is going to come to you. It's meant for you. And they also know when you're stubborn. So they know I want to work. Like, I'm a workaholic. You know what I mean? So they know, like, if I get a job, I'm going to work it. And the thing is, I really do get jobs.

So he's like, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. This is what I want you to do. This is your job. This is what I have in store for you. This is what I have planned for you. And this is your path. So housing was also hard.

I ended up having to go through the process to get my housing approved and stuff, which I did. But that was even the universe telling me, hon, you have five years rent free. Use that to get your dreams done. In the five years, like maybe not five because I'm not going to push it that close. But in one year, like, I'm giving myself until next year of January.

If the music doesn't take off, fine. I'll listen to mom and dad. I'll go work at McDonald's and struggle for the rest of my life. So that's why I'm going so hard Because I need the music to take home I'm like I'm betting on myself Yeah like I'm betting on myself here You don't want to live with I don't know what would have happened

Listen to yourself. Only you know the vision. you have for you and only God and the universe. Everybody else is the vision they have for you. And when you listen to that, you end up with the outcome that you don't want because this wasn't your idea in the first place. Like now the reason why I self-managed myself

and probably continue self-managing myself, like, yes, I'll add to the team and get assistant and get, you know, like I have a consultant and get a creative director and stuff like that. But like, I have to manage myself because I never listened to myself. I always did what everybody else wanted for me from the time I was born.

I was a juvenileness because my parents wanted me to be a joveness. Like, you know, I was in the streets and, like, getting money because, like, that's what I thought you had to do when you was in the streets. Get money. Like, I only read hood books. You know what I'm saying? Like, in prison, I had to go in fighting because people told me that's what you have to do. Maybe I would have just went in mind of my business and, like, folding my clothes,

because that's kind of who I am. I'm a homebody. Like, just like to clean and do stuff, you know. The advice I would definitely give her is just listen to yourself. And also, like, watching my young. yourself, which I do often, watching me grow, which I do often. I look at myself in the mirror because I have a vanity, very nice. And I tell her every morning, like, I'm so proud of you.

You've come so far. Like, you know, we're still here. Like, that's my best friend. And I'm raising her because she was never raised. Like, she missed 16 to 28. And then when she came, well, 26. And then when she came home, like the life, like, yeah, the first few months, people like, walk home, walk home, welcome home.

Then people forget you even in prison. They're kind of like, you can figure it out. Like, you know, and I still have even people like coming to me asking me for advice. It's like, hon, I barely understand this Instagram show. Are you kidding me? You've been out this whole time. Like, you don't know how to click a link and request the booking or even write somebody and be like, hey, can I do this? Like, you know, so it's kind of like, you got the sauce.

You run with it. Like, they don't know yet. So you have to teach them. They don't know yet that you're going to be powerful and big and, like, rule the world. So you have to teach them. I grind it out. Yeah, like, you have to teach because once you do it, they're going to be like, oh, my God, like, you're so awesome now.

You're like, I know. Like, I've been trying to tell you this my whole entire life. And now you get it. Like, yeah, I'm awesome. Like, thanks. I love that. Well, Majesty, thank you so much for coming on the show today. It was a pleasure talking to you.
