The Sharp Tank, no jumper.
Sharpest, coolest podcast in the world.
And today, I got a young man in the building.
Been trying to get him up here for a minute.
He finally doesn't touch down in LA.
We got my man, Rico Trap in the building.
What's going on?
Shit, I'm happy to be here, man.
Man, I ain't go a lot to you, bro.
Like, I really did find you online.
Like, nobody put me on.
You just had popped up.
I was like, man, and I just start seeing you start recording these skits.
You know what I'm saying?
They sound funny, but you really rapping.
You know what I mean?
Like, I just thought, I was like, damn, like, who's doing this?
Like, I just feel like you got a different style, a different feel to yourself.
Appreciate it.
Where you, where you from?
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio.
Okay, great?
Shout out to Cleveland, man.
No, for sure.
You're doing so, you're doing this one for Cleveland right here, too.
Yeah, I got to put on for Cleveland.
You got to put off for them.
I think I might be the first person from Cleveland to come on in November.
You know what?
I don't know.
ain't um
what's his name
from FBG
Doboy
FBG Doboy from up there
Huh?
From East Cleveland
He from East Cleveland
Come on man
Hey I'm the first Cleveland
Look that's a whole different city
Man I'm the first person from Cleveland
On no jumper man
He's gonna see this
He'd be like man
What was he said?
It's still like we still like you there
Somebody said you in Cleveland
But like they got different mayor
Different police
like, we ain't even, like, traffic cameras are illegal in our city, but they got them.
Like, it's a whole different, their own thing, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
He's, he's from around the way, though.
You gotta get him his love, though, man.
I'll f*** with it, man.
Don't boy, that's my name.
You know what I, why I f***ed with him was, because the story was dope how he got on.
He just kept pressing the issue.
He said, I just kept knocking on the dough.
Hell yeah.
You know, so I respect that, man.
What was your upbringing like out there, Cleveland?
It was rough.
I was just say East Cleveland, Cleveland.
Okay, put me on my game then.
That's all I was like shit.
It was like in Cleveland.
I guess it's the real, what we consider it's the real thing.
Even like, MGK, like, he ain't from Cleveland.
What was she ain't here from Cleveland?
I swear to got.
Where's he from?
He's from Shaker, Ohio.
Is that like outskirts?
Yeah, like maybe like a 40-minute ride
or something little 30-minute ride.
Yeah, something like that's like mansions over there.
Like, you look decent.
Like, I wish I was for that way.
Like, yeah
But, like, my upbringing, though, it was rough
Because I grew up on St. Clair
So, like, that's probably the roughest area in Cleveland.
And that were bone thugs in them from?
I grew up in the same exact area, the same street to be exact.
So I was going to say, that's the same street.
Yeah, I grew up on 99 for St. Clair.
So, like, that shit, it's like, it's almost like here, you know?
But we're not organized.
We don't got nothing situated
where it's like, it's a.
dangerous place and nobody
move with each other
you know what I'm saying so it's a free
for all so that creates a lot
of chaos like we don't got nobody to look
up to we ain't got no big homies there's no
money there so it's like everybody
out for everybody
consistently
there's no money there. There's no money there if it
is like it don't get to us
you know like maybe
downtown it's decent but like there's
no nice area in Cleveland that exists
so like that's just
affected us.
We all became a product
of our environment.
But I was one of the ones
that was able to break through
out of this shit.
Yeah.
So yeah.
He said to me,
he was like,
you don't smoke,
you don't smoke,
weed, I don't drink alcohol.
I may drink wine.
Yeah.
Yeah, I make drink wine.
There ain't nothing wrong
with having you
a little bit of wine, man.
Like, what even made you
want to get into music?
When did you start?
How old are you, by the way?
My dad, how old are you?
I'm 24.
24.
When did you start getting into music?
I got into music when I was about
16.
I never wanted to do music, though.
All my brothers, they went to the studio,
and they're like, because I always go in there,
like, no, I say it like this, say it like this.
And they'd be like, man, you get in here then.
I'm like, man, I'll show you all how to do it.
So I got in there one day in my first song,
like, it was like, damn, like, you can do this.
Like, it was somebody in the room and shit,
like, man, keep going.
I'll pay for the next section.
You can stay for three more hours and shit.
I'm like, man, for real.
So I go on and I just keep rapping.
And then, like, eventually, I just got back in the streets.
I said, like, I didn't want to think about no music.
I wanted some money right now.
Like, music, I see my brothers rapping every day doing shows and shit,
and the money weren't coming in.
You say it wasn't money in the city.
Is it safe to say it was money in the streets?
It was money in the streets to grab, okay?
Because when you said that earlier, he was like, man,
there wasn't no money there.
I'm like, well, damn, I was a niggas hustling.
Like, got to go down everywhere.
Yeah, even with the hustling, like,
it ain't too much going on.
even with the hustling.
It ain't too many, like,
it's probably like one Bentley in my city.
Like, two people with a Lambo in the whole city.
And they're white people, you know what I'm saying?
Right, right.
Like, that's what I mean.
Like, it's not too much going on.
Everybody got a couple hundred dollars or $10,000.
It may feel like you were rich,
because that's how we was looking at it growing up.
And he got 20,000, he's rich.
Yeah.
But you go somewhere else.
It's a lot of world with $20,000.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel like that.
Yeah.
What I was saying?
What were you that?
He was just saying like you felt like, you know, 20,000 was, you know, a lot, you know, coming up from where you come from.
You was like, shit, there's people in your cities.
There's only a couple people got Lambo's day white.
Yeah.
You know.
Like, I'm just now starting to see Rolexes since I've been traveling.
I've never seen nobody with a Rolex in my city.
Not in person.
Probably like a rapper on Instagram or something.
But, like, I never seen a Rolex until I started rapping.
Cleveland's a nice-sized city.
Yeah.
It's crazy that you know
Your exposure to certain things
Have been limited
Yeah
You know what I'm saying
Especially being 24
I would feel like you've saw
A lot of that by now
You know
Or they're just coming up
You know
I'm just now starting to see
Nice shit
Because even when I didn't stay on St. Clair
I grew up in the projects as well
So like
Coming to LA
This shit
Like coming to almost like a heaven or something
Like I swear to God
That's wow
Yeah even seeing your landscape
Like all I seen
was factories and
it was sought in
projects that's about it
like we ain't it weren't really too much going on
and um
even with like the music like
I had I ain't wanted nothing to do
with it because I didn't see it didn't make sense
to me I'm like y'all come in here rapping every day
and y'all not getting paid but they did it
because they loved it and they eventually felt like they
were going to take off and they starting to get some momentum
but like me I'm like
no I'm about to trap like I'm about to go to the streets
Like, I know I'm about to get paid, you know what I'm saying? You're right. You know what I'm saying? You're right, like, just with that. And I have to agree with you because it's like not everybody getting on. Like rapping, I feel like it's, I don't want to say like a nigga with money sport, but you got to have either money or a village behind you. You got to have either one.
Yep. Getting on by you, just being somebody by yourself, that shit's, man, slim to none.
Hell yeah. So I took a logical look at the shit. So I'm in the streets. As I'm in the streets, I'm like, this ain't for me. Like, I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to get shot. I don't want to do none of this shit. So just so happened, like, I always have, like, animals and shit, right? Yeah.
Kind of animals. See, when a niggas say that, like, that don't sound like the range of cats and dogs and shit like that. Niggas starts saying got animals.
I had raccoons and monkeys and shit.
So it was like, I never, everybody in my...
Raccoons are a monkey.
Pull a mic up to you.
Yeah, I got, like, even though I got a monkey.
So, like, I, um, one day I was just sitting at home with my monkey.
I always take videos and send them to my hos and shit like that.
So one day I'm like...
Oh, that's your old bagger.
Yeah, like I just...
Oh, okay.
That's your little plate.
They got to have some kind of gimmick to move to the bitch.
Like, like, come feed the baby raccoon or something.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like...
Come on, Donnie.
He's like, he can't answer.
Yeah.
I got in trouble for it.
Yeah.
So, yeah, so one day I just ended up posting this shit.
I didn't, like, my little sister, she did TikToks, right?
She's like, uh, bet y'all get more likes to you and shit like that because I always had a lot of likes and followers on Instagram.
I'm like, what is that?
She's like TikTok.
But they all dancing on there.
So I'm like, let me just post the, just round a video of me with my monkey in my room.
She got like two million likes.
So I'm like, the first video I ever posted.
So I'm like,
First video you ever posted.
On TikTok, I got 2 million likes.
And this shit, like, three days.
And I didn't know, like, I was doing other shit.
I was tattooing, too.
So I'm in the middle of a tattoo shit,
and everybody calling my phone.
Like, you're going viral, you're going viral.
I didn't even, we never really used that word.
So I didn't know what the fuck that meant.
We used to say you trending.
So I'm somebody like, I'm viral.
I'm like, fuck that means, you know what I'm saying?
Then I found out when I went on my TikTok.
So I had while I'm making TikToks,
feds come out to me.
That's a very Google way of saying going viral.
I'm trending.
Yeah.
I'm trending.
Googleish way.
Hell yeah.
So the U.S. Department of Agriculture come after me.
The, yeah, the Ohio Department of Agriculture,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
and the Illegal Pouching,
and the Department of Natural Resources,
they all came after me.
kicked down my dough, swatted me, and everything.
So they told me like, you got to get rid of all these animals
Or you got to move
Yeah, because you get some animals like I had
I went and did a video with like a bear one time
Like and it was out in Fraser Park out here
And like oh boy he was like he was moving
A lot of his animals was gone
He had a couple lines left and had the only like Kodak bear left
He was like we got to move he says because they're starting to like
Put houses out towards there
Because you can't have them type of exotic animals within city limits
That's the problem
You can't have them in city limits
They gotta have a certain amount of land
All the extra shit
So I feel like that's what they came
And got your ass over
Like you in the city limits
With exotic animals, nigga
You know what's so crazy?
Like it was a possibility
To get the permit, right?
But they didn't give me the chance
And like
Even when they came after me right
You would think they came
And kicked down my dope
Because they came in with a swap, bro
You would think they came
And took some animals
Took me to jail, gave me tickets
No, bro
They just came in and took a look
Bro
I was like
All your animals got to stay on quarantine
and they left.
So after I got the letters,
the letters said they could have delivered that shit
by certified mail or just by hand.
They didn't have to come in with a SWAT team.
The permit was only $250.
Because the monkey,
he's a small monkey.
I had the requirement space,
the requirement cage,
everything just didn't have a permit.
But I could have just got it.
Why y'all didn't just give me a chance to get it?
So after I move, right?
I move.
I'm like, because I'm just going to just move
to another state where it's allowed
and I don't got to go through all this shit.
They started to come after me
federally to change the laws
national, nationwide
over the whole United States.
So no matter wherever I went,
they could come after me.
Do the United States Department
of Animal Defense League,
United States Animal Defense League,
they came after me.
They had a meeting in Washington, D.C.
were like about 400 people
attaining this meeting, just about me
and like three other people.
But they add more people to create diversity
so they don't look like
They're just coming out to you.
So after that, I'm like, man, I'm done with this shit.
Like, they're coming out to me federally.
I don't want nothing to do with this shit.
So, I'm like, I got to figure something out.
So I'm just at home.
I'm sad, bro.
I don't know what to do with myself.
Because, like, I just left my whole family.
I moved 12 hours away from everybody.
And I'm just...
So you moved out of Cleveland?
Yeah.
What you moved to?
I stay close to...
I can't really say, but I'm close to Atlanta.
Okay.
Yeah.
In Tennessee.
Well, I'm in Tennessee, but I can't say what part?
All over your animals.
All over my animals.
And I just bought my first home.
That was my first home that they kicked down.
I spent $20,000 building these cage.
They kicked down the door the next day after I made a video.
It was like, look, guys, I'm done because I was vlogging.
Like, I finished, y'all.
Y'all like the enclosure and shit like that.
The next day they came and kicked all that shit down.
And the house market was fucking up around that time.
So I sold my house cheaper than what I got it.
And then I had to put so much money into making those cages.
So I lost over $100,000 just in one month of them doing that to me.
You had a monkey and what else?
I had a monkey, a codomondy, a raccoon, and a lemur.
A coat of money like an ant eater.
Where the fuck do you get the monkey from?
Like, people always rescue sick animals.
So they had reach out to me and be like, could you take them on?
And to this day, people still reach out to me.
How'd you even catch that gig?
How'd that even come about?
It never was playing.
Like, it was just a neighborhood thing.
Like, it was a sick cat or something.
I'd just pick it up.
So people would know, like, oh, I got to get rid of this alligator.
Like, you know, a lot of dope boys go to jail.
Yeah.
And we having exotic animals and shit.
You having some exotic shit?
Yeah, so they always call me.
And then how the internet work, people would just hit me
because they heard about me or they go live and talk about their situation.
It's interesting, man.
Yeah, and I take on the sick animals.
But I got a lot of heat behind that shit.
Like, I rescued a squirrel.
Seems like it.
I wrested a squirrel that fell out of a tree.
They tried to kick down my mama dough the next day for the squirrel, literally.
They came for the squirrel.
And I tried to get my license multiple times.
They knew exactly who I am, so they beat around the bush.
Because I'm always going to court with them, so they try not to give me my license.
And now they just ban me permanently forever get my rehabilitation license
or my exotic animal license in Ohio.
So, like, it's big.
Like, the governor don't like me.
So, yeah, so while I'm in the process of going through all this emotion and shit,
I'm like, I don't know what to do with myself, but I got a studio.
So, like, I'm just in there depressed, bro.
Like, I'm away from my whole family.
You got the animals.
You got animals with you.
Yeah, I got the animals, but, like, I'm just depressed, bro.
I'm in the middle of the country.
Like, I f*** with you, church.
I appreciate you.
But get rid of the, like, bro, much love.
I can't.
I feel you.
I mean.
If it weren't for them, I want to be here.
And I know that.
Why you feel like that?
Because that's what got me out of the streets.
Everybody around me start dying and going to jail for a long time.
Like, even out of all my brothers, I'm the only one that ain't get shot.
Because I've been gone for years.
Like, I've been gone for three years down myself.
You know what I'm saying?
The only one that ain't on bond or, you know what I'm saying?
Or on probation, no more.
I got in trouble when I was a kid.
I was a grown-ass man.
You know, so I'm saying?
Yeah.
That shit kept me away, bro, and that shit gave me something to wake up for, to do every day to get up and take care of these animals.
And it just make me feel good to help them when they're sick and knees, you know what I'm saying?
That's a hot.
I've never seen, yeah, but you've took your hobby on, like, for a lifestyle.
Like, it's really become a part of your lifestyle, you know what I'm saying?
It's no longer a hobby, you know, for you to move away from your friends and your family, my nigga, that's deep.
Yeah, I feel like I was put here for shit, man.
I really do feel like...
I mean, who am I to say if that's what you feel like your calling is?
Yeah.
Has your calling.
If you feel like helping animals or getting animals that are in need, you know what I'm saying?
Exotic ones.
It down to a mrs.
It doesn't matter what it is.
Knock yourself out, church.
So in that process, though, I'm like, I'm in there sad and shit, right?
Because all that shit, I just went through the police with me.
I left my family.
I'm alone.
But I got a studio.
But I was recording pop.
songs and shit before. My first
song was a gospel song.
It got made it on the top
200 charts and Apple charts.
What's the name of that one? Follow me. Rigo
Trout. Follow me. Top 200
charts in United States,
Thailand, and
Canada. And I didn't even know
until it made the charts until a year later.
So even when the police raided my house
this shit all on the news. They came
in singing that song.
Literally. So it was like a bittersweet
moment. He like, if it means,
anything I do love your song and start
singing my song word for word.
So I was like, I was like, I was scared because I'm really
fucking watching me then. You know my music word for
word. So, um, I'm at home.
I'm not in that spirit no more to be making gospel pop music.
You know what I'm saying? I don't feel like being happy
and talking about being in the country and shit right now.
So, uh, I started rapping.
But I didn't, I didn't think it was going to get nowhere,
honest of God
I was rapping
I was sending to my brothers
and shit like that
but it had my own little twist
on it because all my brothers
they are gangster rappers
and shit like that
I'm steering away from that shit
so like
I try to put more of my personality
in that shit
instead of oh yeah
I'm a thug
I'm a street nigga
so I just
I played around
so just goofing around
I end up just posting
one of the videos
uh that shit
that shit was up for like
10 minutes
that shit like
I got 100,000 views on TikTok.
So I'm like, what the fuck?
You're rapping?
Yeah.
I put it, I put, I rap and put the video, I made a video and put my song in the background of it.
Just me in the car, I look, act like I'm crying.
It was like, uh, on my way home for my sneaky link.
And the song was like, sometimes I go to sleep and I cry, asking God, why,
while all the ugly bitches got the best pussy.
And he still ain't the side.
So, man, I'm seeing everybody using my song.
man, what the
like this shit big?
Like, over 20,000 people
made a video to my song.
It's all on World Star.
It's getting posted on all the mean pages and shit.
So I'm like, damn, I really got something going here.
So I come with another song.
Then I come with that Harry Potter.
Yeah, I was going to ask you about that story by Harry Potter.
Man, so I'm on the phone and shit.
I'm talking to a girl about a situation that I had before
with a girl and shit.
So I'm telling her how she ain't.
She shared her her
Oh
Yeah
She shared her
So to this day
I'm still confused
Like I don't understand
That shit
I'm saying
I did not understand that
So I'm talking about it
And shit
I'm like
Yeah
Why you say your
Pussy
And not the ass
I'm like
Why are you bringing that up
You would ask
I'm like
I'm like
It sounds like some heat
So I tell her like
I'm gonna call you right back
The first beat that pop up
And shit
Because I subscribe
To beat makers and shit
So automatically
it on my phone
The beat pop up
I click on it
The first beat I hear, I'm like, I'm owning something.
I write the song in like two minutes.
I caught her back.
I'm rapping it to her.
She's like, yeah, that sounds good.
I sent it to my brothers.
They're like, man, that shit cool and shit.
Because they want to hear, yeah, I slide with the odds, with the Glock and the Drake.
But they just like, it's all right, bro.
So I'm like, man, fuck y'all niggas.
I hung up.
I posted on Instagram.
That shit changed my life.
So, um.
So Harry Potter was the real change and like, oh, shit.
It's all.
Like people was booking me like
Like literally booking me for shows
And I'm like what the fuck
I want me come performing this
And before it was out
It was already getting played in clubs
Like DJs was getting the sound off
Instagram saving it to their laptop
And playing it in clubs and people
FaceTime like they play your song
I'm like it's not even fucking out yet
You know what I'm saying? So I'm like man
It's about to be something
I drop it
I actually come out here
What made me want to take a serious is my trip out
here. I'm out here and shit.
I get hit up by Atlantic and shit.
They never sign me or nothing,
but they end up calling me to Universal Studios and
shit. It's like all together.
So I went there and shit. I'm like, damn,
we got to be on the list of getting the parking lot.
It's all these dudes and suits and shit when you come in there and show.
I'm like, damn, it's the real deal.
So I'm like, the fact that they ain't even interested in me
showed me that I got something.
I'm like, I don't even rap for like three months.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
So I'm like three months in record.
was wanting to meet me I want to take this shit serious and that's it been that's what it
been since then so you have you like you have you signed with anybody yet or you uh right now i got
a uh two single deal okay two single deal i just dropped the song called uh hot potato
yeah and now i'm about to drop hot potato these bids been around hot potato yeah yeah
yeah i'm gonna drop that i just dropped that and now the next song is called i like
It's called I like.
I just posted it on Instagram.
That shit got, I posted nine seconds of it.
That shit got 360,000 likes just on nine seconds of the song.
So is that your, the other single, you say you got a two single deal?
It's my second single.
So this is about to be your second one that you're about to get ready to drop.
And then from there, y'all renegotiate.
Yeah.
What are you hoping for?
Like, what's the outcome you open for?
I don't even know who you assigned with.
I don't know if you want to talk about who you got a two single deal with.
I'm working with this company called Three G's.
Okay.
Yeah, they, I believe they're based in Atlanta.
Okay.
That's why-
Atlanta got it, man.
I'm listening, man.
When they come to that and them taking care of their business and pushing you around,
I give Atlanta all this respect.
I feel like they, because they really care about their artists, man.
Like, they really care about the artist's well-being and, you know,
what position to push it, what direction to push him in.
You know what I mean?
So I'll fuck with that, man, for real.
But moving forward, though, I think I believe, like, I will prefer.
her to keep moving forward with them.
And because it's really that's see what we're about to do with this next song.
Because then everything will make sense.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want to speak too soon because we only did one song so far.
But this I like, I feel like it's going to be my biggest song.
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel like the biggest song.
Do you want to, like what was the process for that?
Like I'm saying, I like, like what was the mindset?
The mindset.
Yeah, like what made you even want to make that song?
like.
What made me
want to make that song?
Can't just be making
your shit
just because all just listen.
I mean,
it's cool to make some
had a thin air shit
but I feel like
you know
some of your music
is really you
like it's inspired
by your mind
and how you see things
your perception
so you know
everybody
like I made a lot
of this songs
by my baby mama
right?
Yeah.
But I don't
they were classics
bro.
Classes.
But I don't got no
baby mom
I ain't got no kids.
So everybody
like you
criticizing women
and I'm like, this woman
don't even exist.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, it's stories about shit
that I actually went through with women,
but it's a baby mama disc that I don't have.
So with this song,
people talk about,
I'm like, everybody like,
talk about other stuff,
talk about other stuff,
where you gotta diss women
and why you gotta do this and shit?
I'm like,
they like, talk about
what you got going on and shit.
I'm not rich and shit.
I can't rap about being no Lambo
or being in no,
no fucking Ferrari
and none of that shit.
I don't have that shit.
Well, they look at it
I'm probably like, you know, you ain't got no baby bummer.
Why are you talking about it?
But shit, that shit be good as hell, bro.
I ain't going to hold you, my nigga.
Hell, yeah.
That should be good as hell.
Somebody told me, like, rap about what you want then.
So I'm like, oh, shit, that clicked in my head.
It's a lot of shit I want, but I don't want to tell everybody everything
because they'll block my blessings before I even get them.
I don't tell nobody what I got going on until it's permanent.
But I know I like hoochie sluts and nasty, bitches.
So I'm like, who don't like hoochie sluts and nasty bitches.
nasty bitches.
Yeah.
So I'm like, that's the road.
And I even had made some t-shirts that say,
I like hoochy sluts and nasty bitches.
But I had to break it down to everybody.
Everybody is a slut.
Your grandma was a, no offense.
Your grandma was a slut, right?
She was raw dogging.
Your granddad.
Your mama.
My mama.
His mama.
Everybody mama was a slut.
So, like, saying, I heart sluts,
that's like saying, you love your mama.
You love your grandma.
Yeah.
Yeah, man, that's shit.
Universal.
A preacher is a freak.
A doctor is a freak.
Everybody.
They always say if you want you, you know,
a real freaky bitch,
man, go to church.
Hell yeah.
You're going to find you one over there, man.
Straight up.
I was getting people criticizing me like,
ew, so you just like sluts and,
no, it's a slut in every fucking female.
Every female got some slut in her.
You just got to get it out.
You just got to find it.
And like, back to even your music,
you know, for people to maybe criticize it a little
bit like hey man there's a lane for
everybody right here's gonna be people
that's gonna like that type of music getting put
out I mean come on let's face the fact
that hey man look at sexy red right
you know what I'm saying is just pure ratchiness
hell yeah but it sells
hell yeah there's a you know I'm saying there's a there's a
I don't know man I just I respect it I see what you
doing like and I know it this shit's gonna
really push for you and hopefully it pushes past that two
single deal for you and you get that shit rocking
I got to ask you, how do you come up with, like, your viral content?
Like, even having to try to hop in that algorithm because the song could be hard, but it don't get no play.
Right.
What I note is the human tension span is eight seconds, right?
Majority in human tension span.
So, you got to keep people feeding for more.
Right.
I got ADHD.
I always talk about this.
I got ADHD.
So if I, if you tell a joke to me, and if I already can guess what you about to say, it's not going to be funny to me.
see what I'm saying?
Like even a girl,
if she knows what type of nigga
is, your game ain't gonna work.
You know what I'm saying?
She's already gonna see that shit coming.
So I market my shit so fucking random.
Like, it's just so bizarre
that you'd be like, all right, all right.
And then be like, hold on the fuck he just say?
You know what I'm saying?
You got to go play it back.
You see what I'm saying?
So now I got you.
That's two plays I got out of you, right?
And that even tricked their algorithm
because everything I do is unexpected.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
But I never go out my way.
I just be myself and just let my mind do all the fucking work, honestly.
What's like your futures and like, what's your plans and goals?
Like, you'm saying?
What's your goals like at all this?
Like what you're doing?
Because your skits are funny.
I know a lot of people have seen your skits.
Shit, you've took your music and have mixed the skits.
What even gave you that idea?
Like, fuck it, I'm going to make this shit funny.
But I'm going to be rapping at the same time, too.
Because it sounded like you was rapping way before hell.
You was doing gospel music.
I ain't saying hell in gospel the same time.
my bad
it's cool but you know what I'm saying
like you was making you know
gospel music and stuff like that
so what made you want to cross the two
uh because um my
I used to do the skis usually
we used to be called story time and shit
so I tell these same stories
like I didn't told these stories before they were songs
so people would be interested in my stories
and people would be so invested like they'd bug me like
where's part three where's part three
so um
you know how sometimes you
to the story, you just got some music playing in the background.
Yeah.
It just fit the mood.
It fits the mood.
Yeah, so I had shit playing in the background on live and shit.
I'm like, damn, this shit sounds like music.
So when I was doing a pop, I did a baby mama this with the pop songs, right?
Never dropped that.
I just advertised it everywhere and shit.
Everybody was like, put this on a rap beat.
So I'm like, I don't know how I feel about that.
Because I think a rap I just thought of gangster shit.
I'm like, I ain't even want to give off that image.
I'm rescuing monkeys and squirrels and shit.
I'm saying.
They're trying to be the gangster.
Bazar to be from online.
Bruns.
Rescue and exotic animals.
Hell yeah.
Somebody suggested that I did it.
I did it just playing around and it sounded good.
But that didn't mean I'm like I'm about to push this type of shit.
So I notice I post, like when I post my song, follow me, everybody just ignoring
and shit.
They see my black ass.
They just ignore.
They laugh at me and shit.
Like, go rap.
What the fuck is this?
Like, ew, it's corny.
and all this shit.
So I put, like, videos of other people.
She's still band it on the charts, though.
Hell yeah.
In other countries.
Exactly.
Come on.
Like, yeah, like, yeah, I pushed out.
Hell, yeah.
I pushed that song for two years consistently.
So I noticed, like, when I put other people in front of my shit, doing shit,
my views will go way up.
Like, I get more engagements and shit.
So I'm like, let me act like I'm not even an artist.
Like, I'm just doing what I already do.
I already make skits with other people with music and shit.
Let me just act like it's somebody else's
So I tricked their eyes
I was marketing to them
But they didn't know
You really giving up some game right now
Yeah, like if they're listening
You really is
I didn't say like
Oh just go listen to my song
Or nigga
Because that's easy
Yeah
And you tell somebody
Do something like
Go do this
No nigga what fuck you're talking to
You know what I'm saying
Like people just automatically
Like rebel to orders
You know what I'm saying
So I just make them want to go listen to their damn stuff
Like whatever you want a girl to do for you
Make her idea.
You win, you know what I'm saying?
So it's the same with this music shit.
To where they start asking you for part two and three.
Exactly.
Now they bugging you.
Exactly.
I got another question for you, man.
And I feel like we get a little, you know, deeper here because you broke down like even
the making of content, like how you do it.
And I think that shit was pretty dope how you came in.
Like he said, I tricked them.
I'm going to keep it real with you.
To this day.
Do you genuinely like making content or did it just fall in your lap?
Like, do you even like this?
You know what I'm saying?
Like doing what you do?
You know what I'm saying?
Mixing the skits and your music,
or do you want to lean more towards one direction?
It just fell on my lap.
None of this shit was my plan.
Mind you, I ain't know what TikTok was when I started.
Like, I literally just thought people would dance on it and shit.
And even, like, the music, like,
this shit really just fell on my lap.
Like, a lot of people got dreams to be rappers when they're young and shit.
This was never my dream.
But, like, once I started doing,
doing it, I realized how good I was at it.
And then, like, a lot of labels have told me, like,
oh, you do it just say funny shit.
That's why you're going viral.
Like, you're just funny and people like that.
I'm like, no, I'm listening.
You think that's what Universal maybe it thought about you,
and that's why they didn't offer you a deal?
He told me, let me tell you, he told me you can't market
talking about booty holes and shit on the radio or going industry.
He said, you can't do this, right?
I can't talk about why she said to say to coot.
and not the booty.
He's like, you can't do this.
But in today's world, is that honestly true?
So about
three months later and shit,
some of the same people that was telling me this
and labels all trying to work with sexy red
and she, I see her in her comments and shit,
this one, she's on the verge of coming up.
So I'm like, y'all just told me I couldn't.
Now y'all dick eating her, you see what I'm saying?
It's the same shit.
Why you show your pussy, not the asshole?
Then she came with my coochie pink, my booty,
whole brown.
It's the same shit.
And y'all told me I couldn't do it.
But I ain't had sex appeal
like these girls can.
They're easy to get sold in the industry.
See what I'm saying?
Easy to get them tickets.
Niggas just want to share her tities.
You know what I'm saying?
But she's hard.
Don't get me wrong.
But like they just, like,
they weren't taking me serious with my topic.
But it was just like,
what I said was I'm like,
fuck y'all old niggas.
That's what I told him.
Yeah.
Because he's like,
this shit ain't going to get you nowhere.
It's just a gimmick.
They try to tell me, like,
they try to belittle me.
You know what I'm saying?
Labels are trying to belittle me.
Like, it's just going to be a trend.
defame you before you even got the crown.
Yeah, but we would distribute your music with no advance and with a terrible split.
Or we just give you, just try to like literally break me, break my spirit to try to give me
the sign some bullshit.
Like, I'm just a comedian.
You know what I'm saying?
But he'd say, anybody can do what you do.
That's what somebody told me and shit at a label.
So I'm like, man, hell no.
I go listen to these, a lot of rappers nowadays and on the radio.
These niggas ain't got no bars, bro.
They ain't got no metaphors.
They ain't got no punch line.
They ain't got no cadence.
Oh, you good.
They ain't got no cadence.
They just yapping and drunk and high
and just saying wherever the fuck
coming to their mind at rhyme.
I ain't going to lie, man.
Junky music's at all the time.
Yeah.
Junkie music, where is that?
That's exactly.
I'm for the guy.
Niggins is full blown and midday junkies.
Yeah.
Boy, shit, moving units, streams.
And a lot of people don't want to hear all that.
I ain't going to figure.
A lot of people don't want to think.
So when they hear lyrical,
shit and bars and shit, it go right over their head.
Well, they just don't pay attention to or don't want to hear it.
They just want to turn up and just...
So what I did was,
I made funny,
turn up,
and metaphors, bars,
punch lines, whatever the fuck you want to call it.
You have to hear my songs three times
to even get certain shit, you know what I'm saying?
I make sure it's like that for a reason.
It made me stand out.
A lot of niggas ain't rapping.
There was something that you did.
That was pretty dope. I don't know if you did it.
to be funny or if you was actually being for real but you would did something like where you was
like I'm doing like a little class like I could show you how to rap I think you would did that
you was like here I could I could teach you how to grab a beat like you did like a whole little
breakdown of it and how to put the bars in place and things like that I thought that was pretty dope
if not you was probably true you could have been trolling you know saying I'm dead serious yeah
remember you was like yeah I can help you all rap like anybody you's pretty much saying anybody
could do this if you just pick up on it in the right format hell yeah
You know, it don't have to take the drugs or nothing like that.
Yeah, I know a lot of people that take drugs just to go rap.
Yeah.
Like, I got to get in that zone, bro.
I don't got to, bro.
I just, like, you see when I came in here, I looked at everything.
Yeah.
Everywhere I go, I'm looking at shit.
I'm picking up words and shit, and I'm later going to use them.
Even some of this shit, we're going to use in this conversation.
I'm about to rap about being on no jumper.
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm using everything in my advantage to make these songs.
Yeah.
I want to ask you another question.
And what's your thoughts on drill music
and what's your relationship to it?
Like, do you, you know what I'm saying?
Do you lean more into that genre
or do you feel like you're in your own lane?
What's your thoughts about that?
Like drill music like today.
What's your thoughts on that?
I mean, I don't want to criticize it too much,
but I feel like it's fucking us up as a people.
Because, I mean,
just because these rappers making these songs,
they're not your kids.
father and daddy and no shit like that.
So it's your choice
and you let your kids listen to that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
I see a lot of people blaming the artist.
Like, we need to do better.
We need to do this.
Control your own kid.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
But I feel like, I don't know.
Just a crazy topic.
That's why I asked it.
Yeah.
I thought about it for you too.
I mean, I don't want to tell them.
I thought about it.
Long for you.
I said, pause.
You know what's your relationship?
You know, I want to know, I want to know,
like what's your relationship?
Because I ask all y'all
that come here like all the rappers, I want to know
like, is this something like that's about
to get ready to take over or is
it just, you know, a certain
you know, area, music
that, you know, people
may lean towards. They
leaning more towards like...
Because drum rap is gassing.
Everybody wants it. They listen
to it. Them niggas get the shows.
I feel like they leaning more
into that Afro beat
type shit now.
And towards.
the females.
Because, like, the females
they rap by all this gang shit,
but nobody take them serious.
See what I'm saying?
When a niggas say some shit,
like, everybody looking into it.
They're going to watch all the documentaries
to see who he actually talking about.
Niggas actually dying behind this shit.
But, like, the females
and even the type of rap I do,
I feel like, that's going,
it's on the verge of coming up.
Sexy Reddney, look for sexy red
did, talking about her booty hole.
You know what I'm iconic?
Yeah.
Timeless.
Yeah.
I'll say this, right?
I don't think she'd have to make
another song, another hit, right?
I believe that song gonna feed her
for the rest of her life.
Because that shit's gonna make it in movies.
That shit's gonna be on commercials eventually.
Trust me, oh, it's gonna make it to all that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
She pushed that bitch correctly.
And, nigga, her team pushed that bitch correctly.
Hell yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Whoever the fuck was standing behind her, bro,
did they fucking thing.
And then she came back,
consistently, consistently dropping
while she had that buzz.
A lot of people don't, can't make
two viral songs.
They just get one and be just done.
But just that song, though,
she's taking care of for the rest of her life.
It sounds like you be putting singles out.
You'd be having singles, you know what I'm saying,
trying to put out a hit.
Is there any albums or anything that you're working on?
Have you ever put out any albums?
No, I don't really put out albums or not yet.
I don't listen to albums.
Right.
Like, my attention span, like, I got to mix it all.
If I do, I'm going to listen to five albums mixed up
to I get through all your songs,
but I can't sit there and just listen to my whole album.
I guess it's hard on to get a Samana album.
Who do you know right now has got an album that's banging from start to finish, no skips?
He'd be a young boy.
Yeah.
Yeah, it'd be a young boy.
Not the last two albums, though.
But previous before that, every album was a no skip.
He'd be a young boy.
Yeah.
But every other album before the last two, there was no skips.
Oh, and Young Thug.
young thug.
You think he did no skips on his last one?
Nah,
nah, it was skips on there.
I love Thug to death again.
I ain't like that shit.
I ain't even gonna hold you.
I ain't really like nobody albums lately, to be honest.
I'm still listening to albums from 2020 and 2019 and shit.
Yeah.
Music took a shift.
Because it's all like a lot of shit, TikTok music.
I got, I know I'm the last person to be talking about some TikTok music,
but like, she's not like,
everybody's switching it up for the better
but it's like everybody
trying to I don't know they're catching waves
and I don't like where the waves going
it's like they're saying less now
it's like they say to make a hit song
it's 40 or 40 or less words
you know what I'm saying they're not really talking about shit
no more how they used to when all these rappers
is on to come up they put their heart into it
let's let's be honest right
and we got I feel like you can help me lead
into this one like
I feel like it's the girls that
got it right now, bro.
It's the chicks that got it.
They're the ones getting the bag.
Sexy red, ice spice, they all up
at the top right now. Gloorilla, they
all get it. I call her a little bell pepper.
Yeah. A little little nose, little bell pepper.
You know what I'm saying? I fuck with her, though.
You know, like they're all getting it. They're
all on now. Them are chicks.
I see getting shows. Play.
People paying them just to do
walk-throughs. And I ain't saying, niggas,
they ain't doing it, but I ain't really been
seeing it like that lately. You know what I'm saying?
seeing it more leaning towards
the rap and hip-hop industry
seems like it's starting to more
man the girls taking over
because they're turning up
they're making the fuck over
they're making fun music
and no it ain't too sad
it ain't too gangster they ain't too none of that
they haven't making fun music like
the soul train and all that shit
that was fun music you should I just move people
you can't really move to all this gangsta
like this gangster shit
no you got niggas watching when that shit come on
now niggas lurk
Yeah.
A nigger, like, man, a lot of niggas,
we know half of them songs, too,
that the girls be singing.
We may not be out of public singing a book.
We may catch ourselves, ski, e, now and then,
you know what I'm saying?
Like, for show, for sure.
Him, yeah.
Donnie and his, he was telling me earlier, he was like, yeah, man,
being my kids was riding, being my kids with my wife,
he was like, and that part came on.
He said, I thought I was going to be the only one doing.
He said, my kids did it with me.
My wife looking to me crazy as hell.
I'm like, that's when you know.
when they're made it into white family's households
you know that shit's iconic bro and they're singing it
that's impact yeah that's fucking impact yeah that's fucking impact
they ain't gonna never forget about 60 red
no tell you that no sure her name will always
ring some motherfucking bells somewhere
some way somehow
for real
another one for you
what's uh
where does like your inspiration
come from like you'm saying who inspires you
who inspires you like to do music I feel like that was a great one for you
because I'm like you gotta be rolling solo you do your thing
I don't see you really like hanging with nobody you know I'm saying
you got your own buzz you know but who inspires you I'm sure everybody
everybody got a little bit of inspiration for somebody little Wayne
little Wayne inspired me a lot like even like everybody always
talk about like we can't read speak on like the older music because I'm so young
but they're music forever, you know what I'm saying?
So I'm just now getting familiar with the hot boys and shit.
I know I'm late as hell.
Yeah.
But now I'm getting to juvenile and all these people.
Juvenile I'm my favorite hot boy.
Yeah.
But Wayne my favorite rapper.
I don't know if that makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah, so Wayne.
You like Jovee, you know what I'm saying?
Because he's really on some gangster shit.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I'm saying?
He was just the face.
He was like the Michael of all then.
And, like, he is saying shit like I said, what do he say?
Say I'm in the room with a bitch and the hole I won't fuck?
Like, man, I'm going to beat my meat and get my fucking nut for the show.
I'm like, this nigga is talking that shit.
I'm like, this nigga talking that shit.
So him, Bob Marley, and who else?
I liked it growing up, bone thugs.
They inspired me.
They gave me, like, I used to.
Um, they came with that West Coast vibe to Cleveland.
Yeah.
So that was something different.
You know what I'm saying?
So, like, that shit stuck with me when I was a kid.
Now that I'm older, I still like y'all music.
Right.
And so Bob Marley inspired me a lot.
Yeah.
Little Wayne, juvenile, bone thugs, NBA young boy.
Even when we were the same age, he inspired me a lot.
Anybody personally in your life?
That inspired me personally?
Yeah, like, they inspired you personally, like, that you,
No, like, you talk to, you have a relationship with.
A rapper, my cousin.
He's got a social trap.
He's from Cleveland.
He's down for a murder right now, but he's coming home soon.
He inspired me a lot.
Your social trap.
Yeah.
He's a mouth, man.
He's a lot of the house.
How long have you been down?
Five years.
Yeah, five years.
A couple left to go?
One more.
So he had a decent buzz.
He was getting, what, 200,000 views back in 20,
2014 that was a lot

we mean him talk every other
other days.
You know what I'm saying?
He's sending yourself.
I'd be thinking like, you know, rappers,
yeah, I like that.
You know, I like that they had
to have the influence on you,
but it had to be somebody in your life.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Was he rapping first?
Hell yeah.
He was rapping before you?
Since I can remember, he was rapping.
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
You feel like that's what inspired you
to kind of get behind a pin and pat?
He inspired me to get behind a pin and pat
and actually like,
because I'd be mocking him and shit.
Yeah.
When he's not looking or something,
You know what I'm saying?
I'm watching how he got his in ring.
I'm going to put my shit like that.
He had to die in this hair and shit.
I did my shit just like he.
See what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So he made me want to be a rapper.
But with Wayne and them,
they inspire me on how I rap.
You know what I mean?
Right.
They inspired me on how I rap,
how I put my music together.
And he inspired me to want to be a rapper as a whole.
Anybody you want to work with,
anybody you're trying to work with a collab with?
Blueface.
I've been trying to work with Blueface.
for like two years, I can't get a contact with him.
Yeah.
Blueface and, um, who else I want to work with?
I want to work with Blueface, Little Wayne.
I think, man, for the blue face shit,
that can happen in the future.
You just got to keep pushing.
And I feel like you got a cool buzz, bro.
Like, your shit's moving.
I've been following your work now for a little while.
So I don't see the problem with that.
Right.
But Lil Wayne, who else?
Little Wayne.

and who else
I don't know
I really just be to myself
yeah
yeah I don't even
well you got to you
well you know Rico you got to network man
you know that's why you coming and doing interviews
that's why you coming down to LA
you know and you you're networking
with different people
you got to get in the mix bro
that's the only way it's going to happen
or unless somebody links you up with them
like your manager or somebody like that
the only way it's going to really happen
you got to get out here to these parties
you got to be willing
and I say it all the time
bro to eat my people
to get some bread
or to get to where the fuck
you want to go to
you have to be willing
to go places
other people ain't willing to go bro
because everybody
could sit back and say
what you just said
oh I just stayed to myself
that ain't gonna get you
nowhere by yourself
I'm talking out of that shit man
you got to break out that shell
because your music is good
bro you know what I'm saying
it's just like
the music shit been
difficult for me
because like
I've been isolated
for two years
in the holidays
in the house with cats and monkeys.
Like, I haven't been out.
So, like, I went from not...
You got to break away from that.
I know.
Look.
Like, I love you to death, my nigga,
but I feel like this is like a sort of, like,
intervention, like, you're an animal, sick.
That's my whole life.
Like, it revolves around it.
So, like, now I've been around people again.
It's just like, I was skittish at first.
You know what I'm saying?
I was real skittish because I literally have not been around humans,
like, at all for two years.
So that shit
Now it took a lot for me to come here
Man, man
Look out of this shit easy to me and
I'm a rapper I know what I'm doing
Man I let that door paste and like I'm nervous
Like I told her like this is one of the big
This the biggest interview I ever did
Yeah
So I was nervous as fuck
I mean you get thousands upon thousands
Even millions of views
Bro people are watching you all the time
This ain't no different
It's only a couple of us in the room
And they're gonna watch it too
It's just this real big to come on here
Yeah.
Like, this shit, like, this shit real.
I'm happy as fuck to be here.
I ain't even gonna hold you.
I ain't gonna be here.
I'm gonna be here.
Man, that's why I wanted you to come, man.
When you hit me up, you was like, man, sharp, I want to come.
Hey, man, cool, let's sit down.
Let's chop it up.
Yeah, yeah.
I want to ask you also, man, is this, like, from what you do off the TikTok shit like that?
Is that your source of income?
Because I know feeding them, is that your only source of income because I know feeding them animals is expensive.
I'm a tattoo artist deal.
Okay.
I don't publicly just do tattoos, but I got clients.
that I still work with.
And, um,
if you weren't around humans,
how'd you survive for them two years?
Dude,
living off money that I made when I was 18 and 19.
Like,
I was smart when I was young.
That's how I was buying houses.
I bought my first house at 21.
Yeah.
I'm on my second house at 21.
I'm 24 now.
I'm on my second house.
And now I'm on my third.
I'm working towards my third.
Right now I'm in the process of that.
So like,
I'm smart with my money.
Even like,
like, like,
my outfit right now. You remember you say it was nice?
Yeah. This was $13.
And the pants was $13. I got this shit
from city trans. Yeah.
Like, I'm real smart with my money
and finances and
my biggest cost is the animals.
It's my biggest cost.
I'll tell you this, right, Gary.
I'm sure, like a lot of people, and I hope so,
a lot of designers and people out there, man,
that's moving. Send you some boxes
of clothes and shit like that, man. You know
what I'm saying? Because, especially you
being in a light, nigga, you having the following that you do,
nigga, it ain't nothing.
All you got to do is put out, hey, man, you want to see me wearing your clothes?
Niggins gonna send you some shit.
I had some offers on the way here.
You don't even know, bro, and especially here in LA, my nigga,
like, niggins will get your sauce right.
Send me some shit.
You ain't even got to worry about it.
I'll get your care package together, my nigga, and I sends you up some shit.
You know what I'm saying?
So you ain't even got to do that.
Like, that shit cool, you know what I mean?
But you being in a light, you can, bro, people will want to give you shit.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
You just got to stay moving and just show, like,
because people going to see you going viral in their shit.
Hell yeah.
And I'm going viral, like, twice, three times a month.
Like, this shit consistent.
That's what I'm saying.
So, you know, people are seeing that.
So, you know, after your booking, like, let them know, like, hey,
man, send some clothes.
Here go to sizes, you know.
Hell yeah.
Get me right.
For sure, for sure.
And even, like, with my music, I record and mix all my shit.
Yeah.
I record, I mix, a lot of producers that I work with,
we'd be trading and shit.
Like, I give you a feature, you give me two beats.
So instead of...
Because some producers be like, all right, I give you this beat,
but I want 50% of the song.
I don't like that shit.
I ain't even going to hold you.
Because it's a lot of shit that I have to do.
Now, 50% of, like, the...
The, what's that shit?
Like, the BMI and all that shit?
That's cool, but 50% of distribution?
Hell no.
Because I got paid for...
the space to shoot the video, I got to market this bitch,
I got to do all this shit, and you just make the beat.
I ain't like that.
So I just, like, doing better deals with them.
And if I do make a decent amount of money, I just throw them something.
But, yeah.
So you don't have a team or nothing.
You're pretty much solo.
You've had a two single deal with a group.
I just started with them, probably about two months ago.
Okay.
But I still do everything the same, like, far as making the beats.
I mean, I'm making the beats.
recording process.
A lot of people prefer me to get in the studio
and get this professional sound,
but I like the house sound.
I don't like the studio.
I like being the lawn in the booth.
Or if I do do a feature,
you would, like, I be in your kitchen and some shit.
Or you pull up, you be in my kitchen.
I like that home feel.
I'm not really big on in studios.
And if it is a studio,
bring the mic out, put it on the table.
And I sit next to the engineer.
Is that I'm saying?
I want to be in that close
that fucking
I don't want to be in that room
You know
Why not?
You've been closing yourself in
For the last two years
Why not?
It's like
Going to a box for a few minutes
I don't know
If you go to Detroit
It ain't gonna hurt your church
I mean shit
Even if you go to Detroit
You would notice
Like a lot of us
Up here record like this
Yeah
We take the mic out
Put it on a table
And we sit outside
Me
I don't like being locked in that room
I've been in jail
You have to
I mean
But it ain't locking you in though
bro, that's a mindset.
I don't like that shit.
It's a mindset.
I don't even like people grabbing me.
Like this, shit, I don't like that shit.
No, I don't like that shit either.
If I wasn't going to jail or not, if I ain't ever been.
I don't want a nigga to ever touch me like that.
But, you know, like, that's still, that's just a mindset, though, bro.
Like, come outside.
I'm working on you, man.
You're doing all this shit from now.
You see, obviously, you get in motion.
You get in action, my nigga.
Now it's time to take the next step.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Like come outside, bro.
Like, come see what your worth really is.
Like, man, really give, you know, yourself a fair shot to, you know what I'm saying?
Increase your value.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Can't just be sitting in house no damn animals all the time.
No, I've been out.
I ain't been around no animals in four months.
I got somebody else taking care of.
These last four months, I've been working.
Like, I got somewhere for them to go right now while I'm working.
Like, I haven't been around them in almost five months now.
I've been here
I'm saying
I've been to Detroit
Arizona
I was supposed to go to Arizona
So I've been moving around a lot
I had to put them aside
And handle my business
Because I got to take care of them
You know what I'm saying
Can't just be under them all day
How the fuck I'm gonna pay for shit
Yeah how you gonna pay for anything
That's why I was like
Damn nigga two years
You was like well I saved up some money
Yeah yeah
You spent that shit
It's time to get back
It's time to really work
You know what I mean
Like and then you're saying

But, like, if it's gonna fuck with my well-being
