Everything, bro. Yeah, everything. Everything, man, a little bit of nothing, everything. Man, you probably didn't got rich already. That's why I was hard to get you up here. I heard you got M's. Hey, ooh. I heard the M's up, though.

Hey, I can't. I'm not going to sit here in front, man. I don't like that just yet. Yeah. You know, I'm on my way. That's to go. Well, I'll tell you this. And for a while, the number's been crazy with you.

Yeah. Tell me what that's been like for you, man. Man, it's gratifying, man. Because at the beginning, it wasn't like that. Yeah. At the beginning, when nobody fucking with me. Right.

You know what I'm saying? Always starts off like that. Yeah. That's a rough patch. That's a rough patch. Sometimes it's short, sometimes it's long, man. Pause, man.

But, yeah, bro, it feels good to be recognized and for people to really fuck with it. You know what I'm saying? So that's a blessing to have that experience, to be having this experience, man,

where people are really rocking with your content. Yeah. For two OG niggas, like I said, man, shout out to psych in OG suicide in the next room like they even knew your stuff you know what I'm saying like they really was

like man you know your skits because your skits are hilarious thank you bro thank you your skits like and like I said I've been watching I was watching you before I even jumped on to any type of platform or did anything I was watching your skits and my favorite one that I think a lot of people are familiar with is Tiberius yeah what's happening one eight hundred was happened. One eight hundred what's happening? What made you even build what even made you even build a character like that like okay I mean if you're from the hood I feel like any nigga from the hood that's going can't can't relate to that character you know I'm saying if it ain't you it's a nigga you know there's always somebody that's going to be like man hey Tiberius is a dude that's in the messer made-up

name but I know niggas like that you know growing up and um well he just a nigga he's like he the hood he'd Hood hit man. You know what I'm saying? Right. Hood hit man. You give him some change. Yeah. He'll do some shit. He'll put some niggins somewhere. He can go muscle. He did muscle, basically. He's the nigga that's going to do some shit, turn some shit up on a nigga. Like, you might not do it just suck. You got warrants or you, nigga, you're on probation or some shit like that.

So you get this nigga. I don't give him a fuck. Give me a thousand and, you know what I'm saying, in the picture, and I got you. Right. Right. Right. So, yeah, I came up with that character for that reason, and it's relatable. in the hood. My shit, I consider my comedy hood good comedy. I like that. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, so. Yeah, man, I appreciate it, man. So it's the shit, the hood niggas, the regular

niggas could, uh, could, um, can fuck with it. The hood niggas fuck with it. You know what I'm saying? I do it for that. You know what I'm saying? Whoever else think is funny, that's love too. But I mean, it's for the hood, for sure. Most of my comedy is shit that I grew up experiencing, you know what I'm saying? So it shows in my, my comedy, you know what I mean? Yeah. I, I, your comedy is dumb.

And I noticed that you transition not only just where you do the hood, hood good, you do also like relationship and shit like that. I think that's where it got to a bigger demographic for you. You know what I'm saying? Because everybody can relate to that. You know what I'm saying? And I ain't going to lie. All the chicks, man, I'm going to say it, man.

All the chicks you be having church, they all, oh, they look straight. Amen. You don't be having no bums. Looking like they're looking for crumbs. Yeah. Right. You know what I'm saying? They, yeah, me, man.

Beautiful chicks, man, for sure. That's the type of women that I like. I mean, that's the type of woman I grew up staying. I'm from L.A., man. So I went to high school with some of these girls, not specifically them, but like chicks that look like them, act like them. So when I see a woman and she's either an actress or an aspiring actress or just a personality, I'll pull them in and be like, hey, I got an idea for you. I got a sketch. You're going to play this.

You're going to play my ex-girlfriend or my wife or my girlfriend. the girl next door because those type of chicks I've seen growing up and they act that way so a lot of chicks shout out to like one of the first chicks I shot with

was Chade Miss Chadee that's my partner man We shot at Shade yeah Hell yeah Bad gal Bail Shea

Yeah So I started with her You know what I'm saying About five years ago So I heard her I didn't see her first I was at I was at a spot called

The Sketchhouse And I heard a chick that's talking You know what the chick She'd be loud as well Sketch House What is this I mean I'm in the real book

Oh Sketch House Is where I started shooting at about 2017. It's a place where these two dudes, shout out to B Moore and KP, they had this house every Thursday they was like opening it up to content creators. You can come there and shoot your sketches there. They had like three bedrooms, had like two bathrooms, a kitchen, a backyard, a living room, a din area. So, so you go on, any given Thursday, every Thursday, you go there, it's at least 30 people in there shooting with their camera phones and shit like that. And you'll take time.

Hey, bro, let me get that bathroom next. Let me get that bedroom next. And you shoot your sketch there and they got to be quiet. It might be four or five people shooting sketches. Four or five different groups of people outside, on the side of the house and the backyard, in the bedroom and the kitchen. And you're like, hey, man, I'm about to get one. And they'd be quiet for you.

You do a take and you cut. Then you do a take. Then they cut. And they do it. And you got to be quiet. Has there been any type of beef in the skit industry? Nah, you know. Somebody decided to not be quiet that day.

And they was like, fuck you. We're shooting. Yeah, I think no, because the culture at the time was like, man, if you ain't quiet through my shit, I'm going to talk through your shit then. And so if you don't want nobody to fuck your, your take up, you'd be quiet. But doesn't that create conflict? Yeah. Creates conflict. So somebody.

But honestly, most of the niggas there are content creators and they're not non-confrontational. I'm the only nigga that's probably at the time. The most confrontation. Yeah, but I didn't have to, that wasn't nobody talking to my shit. You really turn into Tiberius. Yeah, yeah. Like, for real. I wouldn't want to, but I was, if I had to.

And for the most part, it was all love over there. Wasn't nobody tripping off my shit, and I was respectful enough to not talk to their shit, too. But I know there's some niggas that was mad at each other, but they wouldn't say shit. A lot of niggas don't want to smoke with each other, you know what I'm saying? So they were just saying a little slitch.

They keep it on the internet pretty much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And subliminals and shit like that. Right, right. And most niggas in this game are from, like, somewhere else. So they don't. feel it you know sometimes you a little bit more confrontational in your own city you know but if you a transplant you come from somewhere else you're going to kind of play a

role stay in the background and not say too much yeah yeah so it's very seldom i come across some niggas that's from L.A. you know i mean doing this shit do you feel like uh do you feel like you've gotten more love from the city yeah then you have anywhere else and you feel like you get more love like you'm saying be more out of town or sitting you up and from Ohio or just people from Florida or people from Nebraska that just ends up seeing your shit and just, you know, just send you, hey man, thumbs up, man, we're watching you all the way

from out of your in Idaho. You know what I'm saying? Just giving that love. I get that a lot too, bro. It's a blessing, man. I hate to even, if I'm being honest, man, I ain't really got no negative feedback or negative energy from nobody,

especially in the city. I mean, they embraced me. And, of course, you know, the city ran by Bees and C's. And I got love from on both sides, man. Yeah. I try to stay, I'm a partial, you know what I'm saying? So in my comedy, I might be a blood in this one. I might be a Crip in this one.

And I'm all might just be a neutral street, nigga, you know what I'm saying? So I pretty much, I try to balance it out to where I think everybody can get a kick out of my shit, you know what I'm saying? The essays, they're showing love too, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, man, it's cool. But as far as to answer your question about outside the state, I'm going to love everywhere, bro. And it's gratifying, it's humbling. You know what I went on tour in 2019. I did a headline my own comedy tour.

And my boy Barry Brewer produced and all that, man. Meenks and me, my boy, Minks. I fuck with Minks. I like Minks. Minks, he's hell of funny too. He did a funny-ass skit, uh, getting out of jail. And I forgot what, y'all be having some weird ass names for these chicks, man. It'd be like all like, like Corvetta.

Yeah, radiation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, wow, these names, I mean, wrong. Hey, some of these names is real, though. Some of them. No bullshit, bro. Because they're all way out. Yeah.

So if there was somebody with real names, That shit blended in Yeah I'm just kidding And some of these wild ass names Be real names, bro You know what I'm saying Wow

Yeah Oceana Nigger So nigger That's a real name Shout out to Oceana Hey yeah Oceana Yeah

You know what I'm saying Hey man Shout out to my home girl Jatiana too Oh Jatiana for sure I fuck with her That's my home She is funny

And a lot of them skits That you know I'm saying I noticed she's been playing A lot of big parts And some of your shit Yeah yeah I'm saying

I just recently her about a little over a little under a year ago yeah you know i'm saying so uh nah me and her cool super cool every time i spoke with her man she seemed like she she's a hard hard at work for this shit too like she loves this she wants this shit yeah she comes with a humble humble attitude she's cool she easy to work with no attitudes no goofy shit you know i'm saying most of the six most of the people i work with in general if i feel some it's a goofy vibe i end up fucking with you you know what I'm saying. But, nah,

her and most of the people I shoot with, bro, pretty solid, you know what I'm saying, humble, and they just want to work. And we grind together, you know what I mean? How does your wife feel

about you working with all these beautiful women? Man, she cool with it. No, no, she's a open line of communication between me and my wife. You know what I'm saying? Before she was my wife,

she's my girlfriend, and we dated for some time. Well, I would hope so. Yeah. Some niggas is get one in the male, get a chick in the mail and marry her next week and shit. I would hope so.

I would hope that, you know, you walk through the steps before you married her, but I do get it. Yeah. People do like instant gratification. You know, don't act like you like the girl too much because she's going to ask you to put a ring on. Exactly. Nah, man, she's seen me grind from the beginning, man. And she understands. She's a beautiful chick her damn self.

So she's not, she's pretty secure. Shout out to Wifi. Oh, shout out to Wifi, man. Shout her out, man. Sausie fans was having to love you all day. Galore. Saucy pants. Saucy pants.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, for sure, man. That's my sauce. That's my sauce. Man, where ever you at, you got a man that really fuck with you, man. He's making a show he's screaming like he meaning it. Right. You're on the sharp take, no jumper.

Yeah, yeah. And because she's that type of woman that can be secure in herself and in their marriage and seeing what I do. Sometimes, I mean, she knows a lot of the chicks too. I guess she's met them and all that. So, yeah, man, we're good, bro. We good. Your schedule.

Mm-hmm. and the things that you have going on in because I'm sure you're a busy man especially shooting content it takes some time to shoot does that interfere with anything in your personal life and that's not and I'm not even talking about white

because I think we kind of already summed up where you're like y'all got a cool relationship but just with family and just people that maybe they feel like you're not messing with them the same way yeah man not in the not in the it hasn't gotten ugly or nothing like that

but like just taking a time. Maybe a wrinkle nose or two? Oh yeah. Taking the time to go see family, even my mom. My mom is out there in Daigo, man, San Diego. Yeah.

Yeah, for sure. Love. Oh, man, yeah, man. See, people don't be knowing, man. See, I like that. Backyard roots. But go ahead. Continue.

Yeah, for sure. Continue. And then, so doing the social media stuff, bro, creating content, it's not like you got a season, like you're doing a TV show because you got all season and on season.

You know what I'm saying? You might be shooting for nine weeks. to three months, four months, and then you're done until the next project. Well, social media content is what have you done for me lately. You know what I'm saying? So you got to keep feeding the machine. So ain't no off days unless you force yourself some off days. I'm saying?

I can shoot every day of the week. I've shot literally seven days a week before, you know what I'm saying, to where I'm waking up in the morning. I shoot. I call the people over we shoot and I start editing as soon as I'm done shooting. And then I go to sleep when I'm done with the sketch and I drop it. And I do the same thing the next day. I've done that for years, you know what I'm saying?

So then you got to sit down. take time and breathe and realize damn i ain't called my brother back damn i let me go see my sisters let me go see my mom we'll call my mom's you know what i'm saying so yeah man it was it gets like that sometimes and you got to you got to remember you can take some time out for yourself and your loved ones your family that you had before you were doing this and that's the tough that's sometimes you got you got to slap yourself on the wrist and get back to you know reality when it comes reality meaning like people outside of this world of content because most of the people i shoot with if you ain't shooting i'm probably not going to see you for a week

or so. You know what I'm saying? If you're not doing this, you know what I'm saying? My wife is the only person that doesn't do this, but I see her every day. I mean, that's who you lay your head with at night. Right, right, right, right. You're going to see her even if it's for a brief moment. Exactly. Exactly. Every day. You know what I'm saying? Every night. And shit. So, but it's

homies who I don't see as often as I did. I used to hang with it with every day before I was doing this. And I don't see as often. I might see them once or twice every few months. You know what I'm saying? And it's not, they understand. I'm busy. They're busy too. But I mean, it's, this shit is It really, it's a rap race, man.

It's something that you got to keep feeding. You got to keep doing this shit. Sometimes you feel like you, I can't say you. I'll speak for myself. I feel like, you know, I'm racing against my productivity. You know what I'm saying? Racing against you. Yeah.

Yeah. So like sometimes I'm like, man, it's hard for me to sit down. It's hard for me to sit down and chill. Hey, man, come to the barbecue. I'm like, yeah, for sure. I'll be at the barbecue thing. Like, damn, meg. The fuck I'm going to shoot tomorrow.

I've got to call a little girl. I got a call the homie to make sure he'll be going to be there tomorrow. It's consuming, huh? Yeah, yeah I'm saying. It's consuming. Especially when you've seen some success and then you want more. You know what I'm saying? I want more, bro.

I want to keep going and manifest my ultimate goals, which is like that. I'm sure we're going to talk about that. I don't want to jump ahead. No, you're good. But yeah, man, so it's just, it's a grind. The social media shit is a grind, man. And if you don't take time out for yourself, it'll burn you out. Which I wanted to jump back to because you were like taking time out.

And you were like taking time out for family and things like. that but I hope that even family understands that right now especially doing content and having to do so much to where look how it consumes your mind don't you believe that we should take more time out for ourselves yeah we need that for our mental yeah I really believe that that's how a lot of people jump off jump off the fucking Jimson just jump off the plank look at all the kids that were on Disney yeah yeah oh yeah look at all the kids that were on those kids usually yeah those kids use a year those kids never got them

break, they never got time to themselves. So I really believe that even as adult, even though they were kids, so if we're adults and we're looking at it like that and it's like, damn, you know, this is a heavy bucket to hold. I can only imagine how, you know, those children had felt, you know, doing that and look where it pushed them. There's a lot of people, like they're off their rock. A lot of them are off their rockers and I do pray for them and I hope that they do get they,

they weather together. Right. But back to like just you saying, you know, taking time. I believe that you should definitely, like creating content, it's a lot. It consumes your mind. I don't think people understand the energy that it takes, the mental energy. That is draining more than anything. Right.

More than anything. Facts. And I think only people, the only people they can understand it are the people who've really been in it. That's why I can kind of, I feel what you're saying. You're like, man, I know people probably, even people I ain't seen, they probably feel a certain type of way, but don't take it like that. Like, this shit's different.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? This shit hits different. Right. Especially when you first start off, man, you don't have no team. It's you. A content creator is someone usually knows how, you got to think of the idea, you got to call to people to come being the stuff with you.

You got to edit it yourself and you got to promote it yourself. You know what I'm saying? And that's literally a full production team's job. But when this is you, a lot of the time when you, I didn't have nobody. I had me and my iPad in my bedroom doing, you know what I'm saying, shots and now I do another shot, putting a whole different character

got to edit that bench and put it out to get seven views at the time back in the day you know what I'm saying so the more you grow than you can grow your team out you know what I'm saying I never knew how special a person like Riley or a person like Laura is people like

that that are behind the scenes that are they are a big piece of the machine you know what I'm saying they make a lot of this go around and make a lot of this possible you know because I know what you're saying when it's like when you're by yourself, that shit takes a product,

like the shit that you want done ain't gonna get done 100% to its max because it's, how can you spread, you're spreading yourself thin. You're wearing five, six different hats, homie. Even when earlier today, she was on your head about like the time. We've got to get the start. Get the shit started. Thanks for putting me on blast.

I don't know. Hey, bro. Hold on. I'm about to keep going. Thanks for putting me on blast. Hey, anybody that anybody that knows me that washes watches this, but like, you're talking to myself. because I'm the nigginess. When I have somebody, we'll fuck around to be talking for an hour

before we start shooting. Just because I'm a conversationalist. I'm a person that, and if it's the first time I'm meeting with somebody like us, you're trying to get to know me. You're trying to build a report. Same thing I do

when I'm about to shoot with somebody for the first time. And a lot of the time I don't have somebody to say, hey man, come on, let's get this going. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I am kind of spoiled.

Thank you, Lord. No, hey, hey, I'm kind of spoiled. I didn't put you on the blast, but I'm saying, And I saw what you was doing, I see her job. I feel like, I think what you did when we first walked, when you first walked in here, it was dope. You know what I'm saying?

I had to make the person the guests comfortable already off top. And meet some of my niggas start asking me questions before we even get online. Yeah. And that's your job by. It's, uh, to put you through a pre-exercise. Yeah. A mental pre-exercise to kind of like get you going. You know, they like give you warmups in school in the morning like here.

Do your warmups real quick. Yeah. Just that, you know, open your mind, man. You don't be able to come in because I don't want it to be stale for you. you. I don't want it to be stiff for you. I want people to know, man, like you, you are a dope-ass content creator, man. You've been doing it for a while now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is nothing new to you. I'm happy to even have you here, man, and just even kick the shit overall. Right, right, hell, right. Hell yeah. You know what I'm saying? The skits that you do are hell of funny.

Thank you, first and foremost. Like I said, I like a lot of the relationship joints that you do, because I feel like people can relate to those. and you're putting them down in a funny setting. Which leads to my question. Are some of these skits that you do, like the relationship ones, are these some things that you may have experienced that you're playing back out in a funny sense? Oh, yeah.

Hell yeah, I'm a big nigga, man, but I had a chick. I dated the girl a while back. She was just bossy to the motherfucker, man. And you could tell that she had so much baggage from her previous experiences with relationships that she was super insecure, beautiful chick, but she just was overbearing at times. I mean, that relationship didn't last long, you know what I'm saying?

Because I don't want to get down with the chick talking crazy to me and shit. But yeah, I'm coming two characters was probably my first, my first relationship sketch series. And that was like, I don't know. They did extremely well. And thank you, man, for sure. And because I think it's relatable, you know what I'm saying? And some niggas love a chick that's just bossy and it's just crazy like that.

You know what I did it for everybody, you know what I did it for everybody. You know what I dumped a chick like that. And some niggas be deeming me, but, oh, that's just like my baby moms, man. My lady has my wife is just like that Yeah, I did it for that You know what I'm saying? A lot of niggas can relate to a chick that's She won't let you do shit by yourself

Nika, she's coming to it Anywhere you go, I'm gonna be there Yeah They're going to work with you, I'm getting a job Right up the street That one was dope Nigger, she said, yeah When you was sleep and she's like

I told you, nigga in your dreams My dreams, nigga I'm coming too I'm coming too You're not even sleepy You knock you out in your dreams Church? I was like, whoa

That's spooky Right And exactly That's spooky. Have you ever dreamed? Maybe you might not have, man, but you actually have a dream about some shit and you out there.

You see a bomb-ass chick somewhere, and then your wife or your girl shows up in your dreams. And he's like, God damn, bro, I can't even dream about... Something's disturbed. Yeah. About your relationship with that girl.

Yeah. If you're dreaming. If she's in your dreams too, bro, that's a problem, my nigga. That's a problem. So I did that sketch where I'm at a strip club. I see a chick on the pole stripping, and my girl fire on the shit

knocked the stripper out in my dreams and shit. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, dumb shit like that, man. But like, people got a kick out of it, bro. That shit was pretty viral, man. It was cool, man. I had fun doing it. And my home girl, shoday, she did her thing.

Shout out to the other homegirl Veronica that played the stripper. It was dope, too. Yeah. I know you were, we were talking about it earlier. You were like, you know, I might be filming for a week. Yeah. And why I keep bringing up the content? Because I want people to know how hard it is.

What really goes? into it because you got everybody today thinking that they can just hop into this shit and oh well I can do it better than him I can do it better than this and I'm like well show me because I'm looking for some new routes too you know what I'm saying like we share ideas over here in this world you know what I'm saying so please if there's anything that you can offer to the situation or something you can show me that I might not be doing I am very receptive to that you know what I'm And I'm not going to shun that away. There's no hate here.

You know, we learn. Yeah. Now, folks, you get into this, man, you got to know you're going to have to wear multiple hats at the beginning. A lot of the time. No one's going to believe in you until they see you progress. And they can see, oh, he's moving a little bit or she's moving a little bit. Her views is going up. Then they're going to start.

But yeah, man, I help you hold that light. I'll come through and do this at the other. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes they're not going to believe it until they see it. And I don't even trip. I'll go through life thinking nobody on me nothing. So I don't even get mad if somebody don't fuck with me just yet. Man, nobody owe you anything but an ass-wooping.

And sometimes you can't even get those for free these days. You know what I'm saying? Exactly. Like you said, Tiberius charged two stacks. Yeah, yeah. You charge a few bands, you know what I'm saying? But not true. Exactly, man.

So now this content shit, man, it's tough because once you do it, a lot of things, but I don't know, I seldom read the comments, not because I don't care, but because it's more so, huh? You read them. Not that much, man. You read them. You catch him when you sit back. You want to know when you're telling me that when there's a time that a piece of content that you expected,

that you know you put your heart and your all into, right? And you're expecting it to do a certain amount of numbers and it doesn't reach that. You're telling me you're not going and seeing what the comments are saying about it? I stopped doing that years ago. I'm going to tell you why I broke. I used to do that. I used to do that. I used to drop a video and it gets 10 views.

I used to read the comments I used to read those eight comments from on those 10 views and I'm like okay I stopped doing it because to me it's not about that it's about just to work and because sometimes

when you read the comments and you might see some shit that you don't like it might fuck up how you choose to go about the next sketch maybe and I'll tell you why

you have to understand that there's going to be people in the comments that's what they're going to say I would be just happy that they're just even commenting right right comment whether it's good or bad

you took the time out of your day to come here and sit down, not only watch whatever the fuck it is that you watch to piss you off, enough to go into the comment section, make your comment, do all this. Post that shit. You're posting it,

you know, you're ready for feedback. People are commenting, like, while you're trolling, you're commenting to them. You're taking all the time out for this. So could we really, I'll say this, could we really be mad? Nah. You know, or really like, you know, like, where we're

like, oh my God, it's time to pull my fucking hair out because these comments are over here. And I get some people can't take them. Not saying you, but I get some people can't take what comes in the comments section. I'm going to be honest with you, baby. It feeds my fuel. Feeds my fuel. Keep talking.

Talk good or bad. I love it. I love everybody, man. I do honestly. But man, say what you got to say. Your ass sit there and you took the time out to even make the comment. That's engagement, by the way. That's engagement. Good or bad. Whatever they're saying, that's still engagement. It's engagement. I'll look.

accept it. I'll accept it. So when I say I don't read comments, I don't go, I just drop the video two hours ago. Let me go read with these niggins just go. Ain't that wrong with that. That's what you do. But I'm like, if I get a notification, if I'm on my phone on doing some other shit and I see a notification, I say, oh shit. And I see a comment pop up. Yeah. Somebody just left on YouTube or whatever. And I'll see it. I'm okay. That's dope. And I've been blessed to not have too many negative, you know, negative comments. You know what I do? I do comedy.

So some niggas, and I think people who watch my show on the regular basis are into the type of comedy I do. So I'm pretty consistent with the lane. So it's not like folks about, this thing. Got rainbows and fucking ponies and shit in the next schedule. I don't like this one. I ain't gonna do no shit like that. This is not my brand.

So my brand is pretty consistent. So I think I get a lot of the same compliments, you know what I'm saying, or comments, whatever, but not too much. You ever thought about taking it on the road? Yeah. Like on the road, like all your skits. Like even new ones. You know what I'm saying?

I'm going to ask that because in October, in October. Oh, yeah. I'm about to, it's going to be a live sketch comedy show where I'm going to do stand-up and it's going to be able to be able to watch the sketches. People like that. Yeah. Like, it's like what, like live movie action. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? It's like live going on right. That's happening. Yep. Exactly. See, man, you're here. I think that's pretty dope. That's sharp tank, man.

Yeah, that's like, because I was asking, I'm like, bro, like, Tyler Perry started it with nothing. He did pretty much the same thing. Am I correct? Am I off? No, no, no. He did the same thing. It just wasn't on YouTube Facebook back then.

He did it with plays, live performances. And he sat and he slept in his car and put all his money into the production of the plays. You know what I'm saying? Then he started selling out. Then he started taking that money and re-putting it back into the business. Then he was able to buy stuff. And then he was able to, and then he started videotaping it and recording it and putting it out there. My mom, the first time I saw Tyler Perry play was my mom had a video.

I was in New York. My mom had a videotape of the, I think, Tyler Perry's family reunion. I watched that shit, and I said, this shit dope. It was funny as hell. Yeah. And that's how he got big, man. Very creative guy. So fast forward to, like, what I'm doing now, I feel like, if people think that, you know what

I'm saying, I think I'm doing the same situation where I'm just making my content kind of like out of. I do too. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? And then hopefully it blossoms until a bigger career and for more eyes is on it. And so that's a goal, man. So getting it from the ground, he got it from the mud as well, man. So it just wasn't too much social media out there just yet, which is even harder back then.

So now it's everyone has access to it, but everybody can't do it. You know what I'm saying? Everybody can do it, but everybody can't do it well. You know what I'm saying? Sometimes if you put the time and effort into it, you'll eventually get better. You know what I'm saying? So I'm a hard, I'm a tough critic even on my own shit, bro. So I see some shit about, I see that sketch could be funny had he or she did this and the other.

Wrote it better, made it stronger dialogue, you know what I'm saying? edit it better. I'm gonna critique like that man. You know what I'm saying? But I think it makes for better, better creators. If you critique your shit hard, then you know, once your standards, once you can meet your standards, then you should be able to meet a lot of standards after that, a lot of standards of the masses. I mean, how did you even start getting into skits? Like, what was your upbringing like? Okay. For DMs and yeah, there you go, clear it up. Yeah, yeah, it's getting up on it. Oh yeah, stand up on it, man. Like, because you're dope at what you do. And brother, you're not only talented, you're wise in it.

Like you understand the concept of it. Like, yeah, everything has its place in this. What even started you to even wanting to do this? Like, what even brought you into this, brother? Yeah, that's a, right? Yeah, perfect. So let me say this. So growing up at the house, man, just being there before,

that's what the hood could come from the hood. It's me growing up in the hood. But I remember my aunt. used to take me and my sister and a couple of the homies, my cousins and stuff, to like the Fox studios and watch Martin and watch parenthood. We used to be in the audience watching that shit. And I was like in middle school, high school. So I grew up watching like Martin, the TV show Martin live, you know what I'm saying? Parenthood. So at that age, I was like, I want to do that shit. I want to, I want to make people laugh. I want to be on stage. I want to do that.

And then same thing with that. I saw at 11 years old, I stole my dad. Eddie Murphy delirious comedy set, audio set, cassette tape. And I used to sneak and listen to that shit. There was some earphones on. But would you not allowed to listen to it or something? Was this like against? This is Eddie Murphy. This is Eddie Murphy.

This is a funny motherfucker. Yeah, but this niggas, I'm 11. So I know my mom, my mom didn't even want me to watch married with children. You know what I'm saying? Al Bundy and shit because it was dysfunctional family. That was great. That was hilarious, but she was, I don't want my kids watching that type of family.

You know, that's how my mom was initially, man. And so, yeah, that's how she was, bro. She was just trying to keep me. Because she's from Harlem and she's from New York, bro. She just didn't, she didn't, she came from an area where, like, this function, man. And she didn't want us to see that. I think I'm the only, I was the only kid on my block that was going to church. You know what I'm saying?

I'll go to church in the morning with my sister and my mom, we come home and then I take off my church clothes, put on the street clothes and go outside and then you run around. You know what I'm saying? So my mom was a very trying to keep me. Keep me ground, keep me away from all the bullshit. So when I start fucking up in LA, she sent me to my dad, you know what I'm saying? In high school, middle school, when I was about 14, she sent me to my dad. And that changed my life.

But so to answer your question about the boys in the head type shit. Real shit. You really have boys in the hood type of mix. Yeah, yeah. My dad was like, my dad was like Lawrence Fishburn and Morgan Freeman and Samuel Jackson mixing in one, my nigga. Oh, damn. Ask any of my home boys, they'd be like, it pops is intense.

Pops was in 10. And he was a street nigger himself. He from Cleveland, Ohio. So he was a nigga that I'm the youngest out of seven. I'm the youngest. So he just was, he was definitely wasn't harder on me, but he knew how to parent the right way before he was real aggressive. And he said was aggressive with me,

but like he got to the point where he was just giving me leeway, telling me how it is. Don't make me the bad guy. Do what I ask you to do, play a role. My whole life was play your role, do your part. your part is to be a good son go to school, get your grades, come home. I don't got nothing else

to say. If you're doing that, you're doing your job. Clean the house up, you're good. So, what got me into the film shit was, I told you about the Fox. Martin and Proud family. Right. Yeah, parenthood. Robert Townsend. Robert Townsend, A, another

great motherfucker who did it with no money. Did it with no money. Remember Mediore. Yeah, media mind. We don't even know MediaMond. Yeah, media man.

For real. That niggas was the shit. Remember them, the niggas were all with the blonde hair? The gold lord. The gold lords. The gold lords, bigot.

Hey, MediaMond, man, mom. He had, he had, he had, what,

Jamesville Jones in the high top, flattop. Yeah, br. That shit's hilarious. That shit's hilarious. Hey,

wasn't fucking Orlando, bro? Wasn't he, Don Chito? The little, he was the little kid. What's he? Orlando,

Orlando. Brown? Don Chito was one of the Golden Lords and he was younger. He wasn't a kid that he probably was playing like a young early 20s, late 19. Yeah, but they also had a little kid a part of them.

They had some young nakes. Little kid. I know the rap group ABC, another bad creation back in the day, back of the day, they was in that movie too. There was kids as the goal, they was golden lords. It's probably, I got to go back and watch. It makes me want to go back and watch

me. I'm going to watch that. I didn't watch watch Meteor Man and fucking years. Yeah, me either, man. Hell yeah. It's crazy. Nah. Golden Lords, man.

But back to you what I'm saying? Yeah, you did the, they used to take you to go watch a Fox. You used to go watch. Yeah, so I hit me then. I was like, man, when I go to college, I'm going to study this shit. So I study film in college. I play football in college, too.

So my goal was to go to the NFL, and after I retire from the NFL, start making films, become a filmmaker. You know what I'm saying? Take your old money and just go invest. Yeah, that was my goal. When I got to college, I studied film. in college and I played football and I didn't get to the league you know what I'm saying so at that

point football was done and film was where it was at for me you know I'm saying so I take the fact that I started doing comedy back in like 2000 technically 2007 but really 2009 I started doing stand-up comedy officially when I moved back to LA and stand-up comedy along with having this filmmaking degree and to know how to make films that's kind of how I was able to transition to the sketch game you know what I'm saying taking the take of my thought process and my experiences from the hood and my knowledge and experience as a filmmaker going to school for it and being a stand-a-comic being funny I missed those three and you got the hood good comedy you know what I'm saying so the fact that it took all that it's taken to the streets in this way I expected it to it took me longer than I

honestly it took me longer because I felt like I was hustling wrong I felt like I wasn't steady explain when I was shoot a sketch I would make a sketch it might it might take me two three hours to put this sketch together right edited and all that and I put it out and they don't do no numbers they get discouraged you know what I'm saying you'd be like damn all this is working

and there ain't nobody fucking with it but the niggas from high school oh I was funny my nigga yeah you y'all know me yeah this ain't it's for y'all but y'all been knowing I'm funny this is for niggas

that don't know me that fuck on my shit they fuck on my shit because they like it not because they like me necessarily and I want you to like me too of course but like you don't know me

so you can't like a nigga you don't know but I want the masses I want people who don't know me to like my content you know what I'm saying So it took me a while to get there. Once I dropped to Tiberius, Tiberius did that shit.

You know what I'm saying? So Tiberius was something that really kind of like broke me, broke me and blew me up and whatnot. So, but yeah, man, I've been wanting to perform and be a funny niggas. I was a class clown in the high school, you know what I'm saying? Class clown all through my whole life. It's always us that make it. Yeah, yeah.

It's always a kid out of school. Yeah. Like, what does that make us? Like, real class clowns are just somebody who like, we have a high appetite for like for uh how do you say like we have a high appetite for looking at things like differently not only differently like you got to feed us at a high level yeah or we get bored like you get bored you're saying we start to veer off you're saying our attention span starts that's the word i'm looking for more of like our attention span you got to

kind of keep it you know what i'm saying or we're going to goof off we're going to exactly exactly I just started really becoming a good student until college because I wanted to do the shit I was doing. The classes I took was four classes that I wanted to do, as far as filmmaking, learning how to edit, learning how to tell a story. So I'm astute like a motherfucker there. I'm in class like, okay, I'm listening to the teacher.

I ain't falling asleep. I ain't goofing off. But in high school, I got great grades, but I still was like finishing my work real fast and be done. And now I'm starting to see who I can fuck with. in the classroom, getting kicked out. So I would finish my class, my class work fast as fuck,

and then the last 20, 30 minutes of class, I'm acting up, doing shit that motherfuck as fucking with people. They're trying to do their work. And my teacher would just, sometimes she would just make me leave. He or she would just tell me to leave the class when I'm done.

Because when I'm done with my work, I'm fucking around and disturbing the class and shit. As opposed to, all right, you done? Go to the library or go. I wasn't going to the library. I was going somewhere else,

but I was just leave class. I got into it, man, with my sixth period teacher, for the rest of the year, I think I was in sixth grade. For the rest of the year, my sixth period, I think it's six or seven grade, but like my sixth period, I'd go spend in the dean's office every six period. Yep. It's at the end of the day. Same thing with me. My counselor's Dr. Ochoa. That shit crazy.

Come to, come to, when you're done with class work, just send it to my class. Send it to my office. Yeah, let's go up in there with Miss Ellis. I remember, man. Shout on Ms. Ellis. Yeah. Same shit. I think, I think those type of kids,

usually end up doing what we doing making. And I was the kid that always had the class on fire. So the fact that I got YouTube, Facebook, IG, pushing TikTok, doing anything, it makes sense. You know what I'm saying? I'm sure whoever saw you, whoever knew you from sixth grade was at Nika Sharp, I knew you was going to be something like this. You know what I'm saying? They could see it back in the day.

A girl, I was in second grade. A girl said, we was in lunch. She said, you should be a comedian. I didn't know what a comedian was. I'm in the second grade. So I was like, your mama should be a comedian thinking she's dissing me.

Yeah. Is she watching this right now? Thank you. You called it. Your mama should be a comedian. I'm thinking she did. I didn't know what a comedian was. Right.

Right. Everyone was like, yeah, yeah, you should be a comedian. I was like, your mama's a comedian. You know what I'm saying? Not knowing that she was like, you're funny, man. You've been making us laugh all class, all year, all semester. You should, you're going to be a comedian. And she was right.

Second grade, bro. I don't remember her name, but if she's watching this ever and DM me or send me a emails or something because like she she caught that shit it's got to be crazy right to sit back and like really look at your life you know and where it started you know and where you're at today yeah one of my main questions for you is like where is big jaw headed like what what can we look forward to like what can the viewers because the viewers that's what you know you want to captivate right what can the viewers expect in the near future from me. Well, I got a, some people who fuck with me, know I had a series called The Lesbian,

homie, season one. I have season two now. That one was dope. I actually saw that one, homie, for real, for real. Appreciate it, man, thank you. That shit was kind of funny, like she's going to lay in the bed.

Like, I think you did it with the little light skin chick, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? E, right? Yeah. I don't know, I know who you're talking about. I watched you. I don't know.

Maybe I'm looking too deep into it. No, no, no. But, no, it's all good. But you're right. It was her. It was her. And we have fun doing it, man. That shit was cool.

She's a hell of an actor, man. How did you find her? Instagram, man. Instagram. Social media's a hell of them. Yeah, man. You can reach everybody. Or you could be reached by the right people.

You know what I'm saying? She'd DM me a while ago just asking about, like, whenever I had a role for her, then we can go ahead and shoot something. She's available. And so when I thought of my idea, she's 6'1, by the way. She's tall, tall as the motherfucker. So, yeah. Yeah, right.

Nah. I see her pictures. I said, how tall are you? She? I'm 6'1. I said, shit. Yeah. And she got tattoos all down her back.

She wore a short hairstyle at the time. Like, like, I'm not, almost like a finger wave type thing. And I'm like, she looked like a little lesbian chick or a tall as thick lesbian chick. And that's, and I said when you run into her, I need her for a panel. Okay. For a panel, man. So I said, man, come sit down with me. Because I think that one would be interesting.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Have her come.

Yeah. That's cool. Yeah, she'll probably reach out. Yeah, I'm sure she will. I'm going to tell her, for sure. Yeah, yeah. I ain't going to do what Donnie did. I love it.

Hey, man. Hey, I had to say, hey, listen. Donnie, man, I love you. He knows he my little bro. I love Johnny, when I talk to, listen, when I talk to Donnie Diamond's, I know he's going to be jumping up and down in front of this TV when he sees this, right? But when I talked to him because I had asked him, I said, man, shit, you know, I've been watching Big John for a long time, man.

This dude has been on his grind. for a long, like more than a lot of people that have struck gold today. Right. You know what I'm saying? So I hit him up. I said, hey, man, shit, I see he did a skit with you. So I said, hey, hey, hook me up with big job, man, come on now.

He was like, yeah, no, uh, Rdi y'allit at him. He said he might be doing, okay. I wouldn't just hit you up myself. See, I was trying to make it through a third party. Nah. Sometimes you gotta get this shit done, your motherfucking self. Right, right, right. That's how we do this shit for real enough.

Donnie Diamonds, man. Love, Donnie Diamonds. I love you, church. Yeah, in the near future. He probably, because Donnie has hit me some times and I might not get back to him

for a couple of days. And it's not personal. I love Donnie. A knick. It's super talented. I'm the one to hit down to be. Well, I got a text back in an hour. Hey.

I got a text back in an hour. Hey. Like where you need me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's so. Nah, nah, nah, nah, man. But Donny, my bro. He knows it, man.

I fuck with Donnie. Yeah, yeah. That's my guy. Let me tell you something, man. He'll wait to be able to sit down in the mere future, him getting some more press, him going and doing the things that I know he should be doing and he should be doing. And then we can come and sit down and make it. Because I want to get him a real interview, man.

I don't want it to be just because we're homies. No, I wanted to be because of the work that you've put into your craft. Right. You know what I'm saying? And it seems like he's working. I just want to put some more time under his belt, some more wrench time. I agree. I agree 100%. That's I feel when shooting with certain people.

People are like, that's collab. I'm like, man, you got to, I'll get your page. How does that be for you when somebody hits you up like, hey, big job, let's collab, and you're like, you're like, you're like, come on, man. Ah, your catalog kind of, it's kind of, it's got gaps. Yeah, it's shaky. You got gaps. It's not consistent enough.

Yeah. And if it's not consistent, then is it really a collab? You know what I'm saying? Because sometimes folks, niggas just want to be in your videos. They'll disguise it by saying, let's collab. I'm like, come on, man. And they get to set. They don't have nothing to contribute.

They just want to be, what do you want me to do, my nigga? I'm here. I thought we was collaborating, bro. You got, you got a script. You got, you got, you got an idea, you got, I'm saying? You got something, you got something to talk about. You got, you got an idea for the sketch. You got some, you know what I'm saying? You got some dialogue. You can contribute. A lot of times, niggas frees up. You know what I'm saying? When I saw Donnie, I said, I said, Stake up, what's up, what's up? What's up? You're funny. I think I shared one of his videos. And at that time, he didn't have that many sketches, but I saw the talent.

And I saw the work. And I know how hood niggas, young, he's a young dude, too. So, like, some, some niggas. Some, some, some, some, some, It's hard to get to keep consistent when you don't have niggas around you that's willing to help you. And I saw that he didn't have a lot of help. I saw he was doing a lot of video. It was just a camera on him and he was doing the Game Bank services. That's just hilarious. Yeah.

So I said, let me, let me, any, any from LA. I fuck with his shit. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. But everything you're saying is true, though. It's about to keep grinding and keep getting some more knotss under your belt before you come onto the Sharp Tank. I think that's, I think that's a good. And not saying that you're not going to be here eventually.

Listen, I'm watching him. Yeah. I have my eye on him. Yeah. It's like a big, you know what I'm saying? Big brother, little brother. You know what I'm saying? I have my eye on him, man.

Like, I did, I'm just, just keep progressing, man. Like, come on. So that way when you come sit down, your ass actually has some things to talk about of substance of how it built up to you even being here. And I think people, people don't understand that. And I'm going to break it down briefly in your interview. Like, they have to understand, man. Like, this shit is organic. It needs to be very real.

That's what I'm about is captivating realness for the viewers. The viewers need to see you in a different light more than what they see when you're doing these skits. Because people want to really get to know you some. Not to put them all the way in your business, but just to get to know the person who's doing it when he turns all those characters off. Right.

Hell yeah. You know, it's captivating for a viewer, man. They love that. They like to see somebody that's real. That's like, damn. I'm going through some of the stories you kick like, damn, I'm going through that right now. Exactly, exactly.

You know what I'm saying? And you're helping people see, hey, this is how you may be able to resonate with that. This is how I overcame that. Right. You know what I'm saying? That's cold, man. That's Amber.

I fuck with you for that. I really do. I appreciate it, man. Thank you, bro. I appreciate you for being here. Oh, yeah, my nigga. This is fun. We got to do this one again.

I'm with it, bro. You already know? Like, just even sitting there because, you know, you got a lot going. on and I think the people that don't know you that are about to go get ready to dive in y'all about to get ready to laugh man just roll up one and just start running through it because your catalog is consistent thank you man and I love that about your persistent about what you want and how you want things to lay out yeah there was a the question I

wanted to go back to earlier because I was trying to ask you but then we got mixed up like how long have you spent on trying to put together a skit like how many like one that you was like, damn, man, this shit just, it took a long time, man. It was, people wasn't showing up. People wasn't in the right place. Tiberius, the first one. Tiberius was like the third sketch I shot back in 2017. And I didn't have a camera guy.

I had a camera. I didn't have a camera guy. So I needed, usually, this for the record, before all this, I was always shooting for everybody else. I was a guy behind the camera. I was a camera guy, DP for other creators that was shooting. Well, you went for film. So you understood the game.

So I was trying to make that a living too. I was like directing, shooting, acting. So I wasn't really in front of the camera a lot because I was the one behind the camera. So at this point, 2017, I was like, I need to get in front of the camera and do my own shit and be the own and be the actor. And so I had no camera guy. So it took me about two weeks to do that one sketch, that Tiberius. It was a one minute sketch. It was a one minute put together.

But it took me like two, almost two and a half weeks to put it together just to get dudes who didn't even know how to shoot. I say, but just hold the camera, man, hold it steady. I focused it for him. All right, push record, and I'll say action. I'll say, action, just keep it steady. I didn't even have a tripod for these things, man. So that's how I started, you know what I'm saying? So it took me a long time to get that.

And I just knew when I was editing the video, I was like, this shit funny, bro. I think they're going to fuck with this. But it took me like two and a half weeks to get that shit done from the first shot to the last shot to edit it and uploaded it to YouTube, on the IG, Facebook. It took like two and a half weeks. But it paid off, though. You know what I'm saying?

you make are fucking crazy. Thank you, man. I'm hoping to see him formed together in a mini movie and you're doing some new stuff and just kind of shopping it around and see what picks it up. Yeah, for sure.

Why not, right? That's the goal. That would be the goal. I feel like your catalog's strong enough now, where you could put something like that together and shop it around. Don't be afraid of it, church. I know you're still grinding

because people like me and you, I feel like we're perfectionist. Like it's never enough. Right. Like even people could tell me like, oh, Sharp, you're fucking doing good. I feel like I can always do it. Always do more. Something I could have did is something I could have tweet.

I'm seeing it, you know, but once it's out, it's out. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? There's not really what you're going to do. Go take it back and try to put a remix on it. This ain't no song. Right, nah, no, no, no. Can't go remix this shit.

Put it out there. It's already out there. It's out there. You're confident in yourself. Trust the process. Trust the process. So, yeah, the goal is, ultimately, my goal is to be in, to write, direct, and act in my own film. TV shows, films.

So I'm definitely, the sketches is what I came back to because I wasn't doing them really. I started doing sketches just to build the fan base, just to show people quick vignettes of what I can do when it comes to sketch comedy. And so I've done that. So my goal is to now I have the fan base, and now I thank you all for fucking with me for sure.

But the goal is to garnish a TV show or a movie. and so the goal is to within the next 16 months I might have a film out you can drop a drop a little script by my desk you're talking about you're talking about you know what I'm saying yeah you can drop a

you drop a script by my desk and we might be able to work something out you got an abundance of personality my nigga I'm sure we can get some funny shit going hell yeah I appreciate you yeah my nigga for coming as anything that you want to say to the viewers man and to your fans hey man thank y'all for rock on me man
