Starting point is 00:00:00 No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. And today I have a very, very exciting interview that is going to rock and shock the world. Today we're having a conversation with Vium, aka formerly the third island boy. How's that sound? X fifth island boy, ex-fifth Island boy. Wait, fifth, not third? Who was number three and four? Get rid of the mic.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Number third is baby lows. No, no, no, number third is Trillo. fourth is baby Lowe's the little the black dude and then fifth was me Okay I thought that they were like The lesser island boys I thought you were the leader
Starting point is 00:00:38 Like or the first draft pick The first draft pick Well I knew them personally Beforehand that's why I knew them before Okay I knew them before Baby Lowe Which is the fourth island boy
Starting point is 00:00:50 I pretty much saw these clowns When they had like 3,000 followers And I believed in them Because I was living in Los Angeles you know, gain my bag, gang money and stuff like that. So I was like, okay, these clowns have the image, but their music sucks. So I flew them out to LA. We did some work.
Starting point is 00:01:08 We did some music videos. And this is way before them coming on a no jumper, way before them becoming the island boys. Where are you from exactly, though? Originally Virginia. I moved to L.A. in 2018. Oh, okay. So you've been out here since then, or were you in Hawaii at one point? point. See, Hawaii's like my, um, it's like my kingdom, bro. Since I moved to LA in 2018,
Starting point is 00:01:35 I've been going to Hawaii every single year. I've seen, I think I've seen you going out there a couple of times while I love it. It's my favorite place to travel pretty much in the world and it's right over there. It gives me peace. So I love Hawaii. It's right there five hour flight. Yeah, definitely. Okay. So when you move to L.A., though, what were you intending on doing? So I've always been rapping. I've been rapping for a while. And I was just like, you know, I want to really try something different. So I moved out here.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Something popped off, you know what I'm saying? Something I was doing. And I started making a lot of money. So in the streets, you know, I'm just in the streets and stuff like that. But still doing my music, still investing, this and that. Always just I have that mindset of like networking. in it, you know what I'm saying? Right.
Starting point is 00:02:25 So that's when I saw these guys in like 2019, late 2019, they were going IG live, fighting with people. That was their first stage of virality before people really kind of knew who they were. They started going live arguing with people, yep. Yeah. Like when I interviewed them, that was the majority of the research that I had to do, was basically watching a bunch of IG lives of them yelling at random people. And that was how it was kind of explained in these little videos I was watching about
Starting point is 00:02:51 them is like, no, this is how they got. name is pretty much just beefing with random people. Arguing with everybody. Right. It's like that doesn't take you that far because they also burnt every single bridge like with the Jake Paul situation. You know what I'm saying? Like just they love to burn bridges for sure and me being a friend of theirs thinking I'm a friend of theirs and how they did me dirty bro. Super dirty like my, I put my neck out for these boys like when we got jumped in Hawaii almost damn new, you know what I'm saying? Okay, we'll get to all that. But so you're just doing the music thing in the
Starting point is 00:03:23 the streets, et cetera. I won't pry into exactly what you were getting into. But then you see these guys beefing with people. And I'm assuming that you thought kind of something similar to what I thought, which when I saw the Island Boys, I thought, I mean, they got the image. They look cool. The personality, even though they seem like they're probably retarded, you know, it's, it stands out like, wow, like their character. People are fascinated by these dudes. And then I went and listen to the music and probably more than any other time in my life, I was just astonished by how bad the music was, which that says a lot because I listen to more bad rap music than nearly everyone on the planet. But their stuff really kind of stood alone. Like I'm listening to
Starting point is 00:04:09 a whole verse and I can't even understand a single word. I mean, that says a lot. Yeah. Now, the recording process is really terrible. As soon as I met them, it was like we went to the studio and see, I have like a thing where I'm like Little Wayne and I'll just sit there I don't write most of the time but I'll vibe I'll catch a vibe and do retakes and they're just like turn on the beat and this is what it sounds like
Starting point is 00:04:35 you're not going to redo that I'm like you're not going to redo that bro he's like nah it's cool can I see a lighter? Yeah that was funny that they like saw all these rappers who are acting like they weren't trying that hard and then they decided like well we're going to try
Starting point is 00:04:49 even less hard. We're going to make little pump looked like he was really going as hard as he possibly could. We're going to make him look incredible in comparison. Anyway, all right, so you reach out to him. What's you reaching out to them like? What was your pitch? Pretty much I was like, I'm about to sign y'all. You know, I was just kind of playing around. But no, I ended up flying them out and just invested in like cool rental cars for music videos, made them look cool. You know, I got them like a nice little check in a nice Airbnb, put them up, you know, somewhere nice, and really just took care of them, boys, picked them up, presidential, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:25 Cadillac vibes, and they go back, and then there's this video, it's viral. I didn't even know it has, like, a couple million views. It's where I'm, it's after the feature that we did, he started begging me for money, like a sugar daddy or something like that. And I just wasn't really feeling it, so we fell off. There's videos of him begging me for money. It's like viral. How much money are we talking?
Starting point is 00:05:47 I think I was showing him like 40K or something. And he was begging because he was needing some of it. Yeah. And I feel that's something we like have bump about in the house. He was like, you remember you were flexing that, that bread on my face? And we went viral. I'm like, what are you talking about? He's like, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:06:04 Bro, we always just heat it at it in the house and stuff. Right. Men boy's pussy, bro. So you fell out with them before. No, you fell out with them before they became the Island Boys? Yes. and then got back. Cool with them again?
Starting point is 00:06:19 How did this happen? A very unfortunate situation. My apartment, actually, I have two French Bulldogs. When I went to the dispensary, my French Bulldogs turned on the stove, and that caused whatever was on the stove to burn. I come back, the whole fire department is there, and they're like, it's your unit. I run up there, smoked out. And, you know, who's at the Camden in Hollywood?
Starting point is 00:06:41 Right. The Camden in Hollywood, so I get kicked up out of there. They're like, oh, it's unhabitable. you can't even live here like they're pissed off at me wow and then i'm just going through it i'm i'm in air bambes and then they're like bro you know what come live with us we have a mansion we have days we come live with us i so i pull up you know to florida i pull up to florida start living with them boys and then um we started actually becoming like friends building a relationship and i'm like hey uh flies one of flies dream was going to hawaii as well and he knows that i go every single year
Starting point is 00:07:14 right so i was like i'm gonna bring you to the kingdom And so normally when you're in Hawaii, are you pretty tapped in? You got a lot of connections out there? Yeah, of course. And I respect people, bro. So I've been out there several times just by myself with my girl walking around everywhere, with ice on me. The gangster size, the west side. Shout out to Hawaii, by the way.
Starting point is 00:07:35 There's no smoke with Vium. I'm actually out there all the time. So shout out of Hawaii. When I go there, I spend time in like downtown Honolulu type shit. and then we usually stay at Turtle Bay. You don't go to the North Shore? It is Turtle Bay, right? I think it is, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:51 But either way, it's like I have, like when you're in the touristy-ass part of Hawaii, it doesn't really seem like a super dangerous place. You hear about crazy shit with drugs and gangs or whatever, but it feels like that is mostly like isolated to the neighborhoods and the countryside. I don't know if that's true or not, but it seems like it.
Starting point is 00:08:10 And when I would go to Hawaii all the time, I would go explore those. I would drive around with my girl all around the island and kind of just checking crevices, beaches. So I never knew that, oh, there's bad sides. All I ever heard was, don't get your car broken into. I'm pretty sure you got that warning before, right? Don't get your car broken into.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah. So now, bro, yeah. So you go out there with them, and is it cool at first? When does trouble start? It's great at first. It's great. We're on the way there. We're like, damn, we don't got security.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Bro, I bring them out the house for the first time ever, like, in probably, like, years. They never go outside, I feel like. So I'm just big bro taking them on a trip to Hawaii from all the way from Florida. Right, because we've seen the videos of them getting punked, like even in their own city, of people pulling up on them at the fucking hair salon and letting them know like, hey, you know, I'm going to whoop your ass if I see you here again and shit like that. So it must have been nice for them to be in Hawaii, a place where they don't feel as at risk.
Starting point is 00:09:05 We thought it was going to be that way. We thought it was going to be a good time, Adam, promise you. And everything's good at first. Oh, yeah, great at first. Pictures island boys all across the. the airports when we get there, Waikiki, everybody's lit. And yeah, man, the trolls, you know, they're actually out there and pulled up on us. So how'd that happen?
Starting point is 00:09:24 Like people who wanted to actually fight or people who just wanted the troll? This is exactly how it happened. These troll kids who already got photos and they're just, oh, the Island Boys are here, we're scootering. And one of the kids makes a comment on Red's watch and he's like, let me have that watch. And Red's like, what? And he's like, oh, that $15 watch. And then he's like, hey, homie. And then I was like, hey, bro, you got to put in some work for that watch.
Starting point is 00:09:50 As soon as I said that, I got people rushing me. Really? Trying to fight me. I'm like, oh, damn. There's a whole video I got it on my phone if you want to see it. I had to kick somebody rushing me. Duda, dude. The kid's trying to take my necklace off my chain, bro.
Starting point is 00:10:07 Like, in the video, you can see all this. Wow. I have the clean version on my phone. Like, someone's something. trying to just untangled his necklace and then baby lois actually came in clutch i got to give him that little shout out okay he uh punched the other dude uh the fourth island boy punched the other dude and then i got up and um pretty much i'm just like fighting this dude knee and him dropping him on the ground and then you can see fly on a scooter going no fighting guys no fighting yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:10:34 i know you saw that video no fighting yeah yeah yeah but it's just funny as shit because it's like there's already a fight you're not allowed to be like no fight you're not allowed to be like no fight There's already a fight, bro. And I got the third island boy standing behind me, just watching me getting jump, bro. And the fourth Island boy, Trillo's a pussy. Real shit, bro. Trillo, you're a hoe and no.
Starting point is 00:10:54 I want all the fans stop asking me, do I like Trillo? But don't fuck with him. Just because he was a pussy in this situation? He's a bitch. We saved his life. Really, he was getting mobbed. I'm telling you, bro, like the story breakdown is, all right, so as soon as we get attacked, where I get attacked,
Starting point is 00:11:10 and I'm like, oh shit, we get We run to the hotel. And I'm like, take you guys just jewelry off. Take it off because we're going to go fight. And they're like, no, you know, like, let's not do this. And I'm like, I thought we gangster, bro.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Like, they just tried to take my damn necklace. I swear, bro. I'm like, they just try to take my necklace and try to, the island boys. They just tried us. And they're like, nah, let's just relax, bro. And I'm like, fuck it. I go out there alone, right?
Starting point is 00:11:33 We take off her jewelry. Uh-huh. And bro, it's just, I'm walking out there with bro. Bro, someone here is that was actually there at the fight too. Like, so, I walk outside. We knocking people out. You posted the video. We do leaking.

Starting point is 00:12:33 we're looking for yeah but so the original five soldier and kodiak red they they have no squabbles They're just like fully like beat me up. Just let me out of this situation. Like they got no heart. They're scary when it comes because do you know Bryce Hall? Yeah. He was supposed to fight them right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I saw the contract. I don't know if I was like it was like it was something about like I'm not going to speak on the contract, but it's like you should have done it. It was some bread. It was a lot of money. Yeah. You should have did it, bro. Like boxers are hitting me up trying to fight me. I'm like if the money right, bro, I'll give me two months to train.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I'll box you, bro. of the check is right and i think bryce hall also was like offering to basically like if they won to let them get the vast majority of the money like he he was really putting himself in a position where it was like he was 100% confident and they were just calling him a cloud chaser over and over even though i mean his social media is like way bigger than theirs is it is it now oh he's huge yeah i mean you don't hear about him quite as much these days he's been kind of laying low but i mean he He was big, you know? And I'm pretty sure he's still like the most followed,
Starting point is 00:13:44 not the most followed guy on TikTok, but he's up there. TikTok gets you paid, bro, if you know how to use it. I'm telling you, they just deleted my TikToks. I was going viral. Really? On everything I love, I just started doing some vibes. People started trolling me, started going viral, and now they deleted my accounts,
Starting point is 00:14:00 but I heard that it was them who got connections paid for it. Oh, I believe it. So I need an apology letter from TikTok, bro. we were going up. I made a backup still going up. I'm in the algorithm, but it doesn't feel the same, you know? I saw your IG get taken down by hackers, bro.
Starting point is 00:14:16 It happens all the time. Yeah. They're whaling out here. But, okay, so were you guys still cool after the Hawaii thing, or was the Hawaii thing the end of the friendship? We're still cool. And we actually go to my boy Johnny G's house. He's helping us out,
Starting point is 00:14:33 fighting and stuff. And we go to his house. We spend the night there. We get tickets. We're out of there the very next morning. you know, I troll and the whole island just was lurking bro, one in our heads, like for real, bro.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Lurking, they're like, we want the island boys, we want their heads. And then I trolled, I put my face out there like, hey, I'm the king of Hawaii. I've been coming out here for so long. Why did y'all try me? The internet's crazy, bro, and then they posted out on this little Hawaiian vlog. So Hawaiian, it's all love Hawaii. I love you, man. It's all respect.
Starting point is 00:15:09 But they're about their respect. So if they feel like they're getting clowned on, I could definitely see the Hawaiians, not taking it too well. When you're on that little-ass island, respect very important. But so then you go back home and then what happens? Like, when do you guys officially fall out? Oh, we go back home and then the third island boy Trillo has a jaw
Starting point is 00:15:29 the size of a watermelon. My feet were, the only thing I had, bro, was funny. My feet were just, this is still somewhere on the internet. My feet look all messed up. like bruised up and then like I was kicking people but nothing on my face for showly ever right uh hold holding a 10 toes for sure bro hold standing my ground like shit it was wild bro if you really go back on this footage I'm telling you shoes flying everywhere diamond diamonds flying out so how do you fall out with the island boys once you get back uh we um
Starting point is 00:16:03 we chilling we chilling for a while we viving and then a lot of drama was going on in the house and then I just started feeling like they weren't real real genuine you know what I'm saying oh yeah genuine people yeah they're not and then I just kind of miss my family and I was like hey I'm gonna go see my mom and go to LA because I had a court case I got a little court case out here and um they're like for sure and then fly Alex he looks at me he's like please come back don't forget about me do do I'm like for showly homie I'm like when I ride for my people are right for my people and then um he's pretty much uh like a week flies by everything's good we're checking up on each other i'm in l a you feel me i visit my family and then i don't know where
Starting point is 00:16:52 they're like you can't come back to the uh to the island to the house you can't go back to the mansion really i'm like what and then i'm like for surely so i get pissed off i went viral for like saying some stuff where i'm just like ambush their house or something like that right and then later on they're like, hey man, you know we were just testing you to see if you would go on the internet and like bash us if we kicked you out of the team. I'm like, bro, I don't have time for none of that stuff, bro. Like, I'm out here front line risking my life, being loyal, being lit, and it's like, what? You know what I'm saying? It just makes no sense. They're like, terrible people, bro. Yeah. Terrible people, not good business.
Starting point is 00:17:33 But I mean, really everybody that we've seen be cool to them at all, myself included, has pretty much like falling out with them at some point usually they just don't really seem capable of staying on good terms with people like even when they got booed at that appearance at club live somebody on my social media team posted i mean we've got a no jump or instagram three million followers or whatever and somebody just posts it i don't know about it i see the clip i think whatever like oh that's that's funny that's interesting and then all of a sudden they're hitting me up threatening to fight me and shit i'm like bruh like this doesn't have anything to do with me it's a clip where you can hear people booing.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Like, if you have a statement you want to say about it, by all means, send me the statement. Send me a video if you feel like it's bullshit. Like the chain thing, you switched it up quick. When the no chains were snatched in Hawaii, you switched it up quick. Exactly. We changed the caption and everything because they said that the chains didn't get taken. But yeah, but honestly, I feel like the problem with them is that they're just too dumb to exist in this world.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Like everything is confusing to them. They're not ready for any of the things that the world has to throw at them. Redd himself was like, we can't keep a friend for longer than seven months. I'm like, oh, yeah? He's like, yeah, we've never kept somebody around for longer than seven months. I'm like, okay, interesting. Right. And now, bro, to this, and by the way, I want to clear this up,
Starting point is 00:18:52 I didn't get kicked out the island or the house. I left because I had things to do. You know what I'm saying? Like, them boys are 21. I'm 26. I have a whole life, too. You know what I'm saying? Right.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Was Kodak out of the picture by the time you came around? or were you ever around when they were around Kodak? We were FaceTiming. They're like, oh, Kodak this, Kodak, that they FaceTime me and stuff. But shout out to Kodak. That's one of my favorite rappers for sure. Same. And I just really see Kodak as the type of person who doesn't fuck with any host shit
Starting point is 00:19:25 and would definitely not be okay with kicking it around dudes who, you know, got beat up and just wanted to go hide in the fucking hotel room or whatever. Like that's like the number one shit that Kodak would not tolerate From my perspective. I was like, we got to go bump, bro. On everything I love, bro, I was heated. I was like, let's go bump, you know. We made it lit.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Right. Okay, so when I had a poker on here, the manager, were you around him a good amount? Bro, poker's hilarious, man. You fuck with him, though? I don't have a problem with him. I actually, he's cool. You know, I never met him in person. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:20:08 No, at all. But the stories I've heard and stuff about what really went down and stuff. Right. Coming from them, though, which is interesting. Like, who would you tend to trust more? I mean, I guess you don't even know the poker dude. But, I mean, he had a bunch of stories when he was on here with Skinny from the Nine, where he was making it clear that he thought that they were gay and that he walked in
Starting point is 00:20:30 on them dittling each other in the bathroom, which I don't know if that's just like some shit when you're twins that you'd just be in the bathroom together, like looking at each other dicks or whatever. I don't know. He exposed like a lot of stuff. You think he's telling the truth? About the suss. About the suss stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Yeah, you ever see him sucking each other's island dicks or anything? No? I never walked in on any of that type of freaky stuff going on. But I will share a funny story. Sure. I was a couple of days that I had been in the house. And then Fly wanted to see if my fucking dick was bigger than his. So he told the girl he was dating.
Starting point is 00:21:08 bro he he told the girl he was dating and take me to this room and see and I'm just geeked off the yurkey so I'm just like what is really going on right now like what's this guy on what's his mentality on I'm like okay fuck it bro you're telling me to do that so I'll do it
Starting point is 00:21:25 because I mean show your dick to a girl it's not that big a deal it's not that big a deal on your part it's fucking weird on his part that he's thinking about this he wanted to know if my dick was bigger than his bro that's weird seems kind of insecure and then later on he found out that it was
Starting point is 00:21:43 somehow he was like Vium showed me a sex tape it was like I'm just like why are you so stuck on that you know it's just little shit like that and he was just bummed that he didn't have the biggest dick in the house I don't know what we going through bro mine but that's just like a story like I'm telling you
Starting point is 00:22:00 that's a real story like vague and let me tell you this I didn't show she didn't try to get me hard or nothing like that we showed her to the selfie I walked out and I was just like, no, bro, nothing. I didn't even show him. I didn't show her.
Starting point is 00:22:14 We walk out and we're just kind of like, why would this guy make us do this? Like, go do that. You know what I'm saying? If he wasn't such a little twerp. So I was like, bro, I'd just show you some sex tape shit like, yeah. Right. If he was like a 40-year-old man doing that,
Starting point is 00:22:27 they would be talking about him like he was the biggest fucking weirdo in the history of the world. He only can kind of get away with it because he's like young and handicapped. Yeah, bro. Wow, that's fucking crazy. Yeah, because, oh, so was there a lot of drugs? being done in the house you said you're off a yerk uh are they on that type of time as well yurkees man yurks the yurks are going around in the hall i'll tell you this bro and let's we got to
Starting point is 00:22:50 clarify some the palm tree they think it's a it has to do with them their their logo brand is not the palm tree's my stuff how long you had that's tropical mafia um you had it before you started kicking it with them nah i got it with them oh yeah but people be trolling me like oh you were forced to get that tattoo this and that not bro the palm tree has like my meaning to it you know right it means uh victory
Starting point is 00:23:14 peace and eternal life also when I'm around palm trees is where I'm at most peace you know what I'm talking about right but and I was with them so yeah I was rocking the whole island boy thing you know we're on the island but everybody knew it was going to fall off
Starting point is 00:23:29 bro for showly they're not solid people yeah at all it would be very surprising me if they were able to keep a relationship for more than six months if I showed you the deal that they try to get that I had signed and laugh at it like they're idiots bro, they're idiots well because they claim that you paid them
Starting point is 00:23:45 to be their friend what? That's what they said on on Instagram Live or whatever they said that you were you were just paying to be around this when recently? I don't know I was watching a bunch of random shit last night and I'm pretty sure I heard them state that I've heard this no so that never took place you never gave them money
Starting point is 00:24:01 for anything no no no I never gave them bread for nothing they were actually spending spending a lot of bread and, you know, taking care of the stuff. Like, but as far as, like, again, in advance or something, like, you know, when you get signed, they're, like, do-da-da-da. They're really all about themselves. They're not really thinking about the team.
Starting point is 00:24:19 So, yeah, I couldn't do that. I mean, it's weird because you just see them pushing their cameo so hard. And it seems like that's probably the old. The cameo's not doing no more money. Yeah, because that's a short-lived thing. Yeah, I'm telling you. Like, I was around it. They were like, no, we're not doing numbers.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Like, the cameos not doing it. Right. I believe that they did some numbers for a while. when it was viral, but then at a certain point. It's a moment, fam. Yeah. It's a moment. And meanwhile, they're staying in these expensive-ass Airbnbs and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I mean, that money's going to burn up right away, right? It doesn't even seem like they're focused on the music, though, either, right? Like, are they? Not necessarily. They don't seem like they want to make the music better. I was like their director. I'm telling you, bro, like back there, that, that cameraman is back there, chilling he shoots for NBA young boys people.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Like, he shoots for, like, big artists, bro. Like, dog. RIP Dolf, you know what I'm saying? He's shot for him. Like big artists, bro. My cameraman really out here be working, bro. Right, definitely. We're not playing games.
Starting point is 00:25:16 And we pulled up, I directed some videos for them. By the way, Fly Soldier, you still owe my cameraman $400. So let me know when you're trying to wire that. It's just 400, bro. Right. And so then how do you start rebuilding after this? Do you think it's kind of like a bad mark on your name? name as a rapper that you're associated with them or you think you can just take the positive
Starting point is 00:25:41 out of this situation and make the best of it. Bro, being associated with them made me hot, but then again, it's like I'm such a positive person that I switched it around. And I'm just trying to be like, yo, people telling me it's not your fall of you. Like, those guys are clowns. You know, I only respected them or even check them out for a little bit because you were around them. And, you know, we know what you about and shit.
Starting point is 00:26:07 So I had a desuit. They say they kicked me out. They never kicked me out, bro. I didn't get kicked out of nowhere. I left. I left. You know what I'm saying? Right.
Starting point is 00:26:15 They're trying to do these little internet manipulating the internet shit, like the palm tree. We got us to know, homie. Nah, bro. But we were yurked up. Like, we were geeking and shit. You know what I'm saying? Right. The yurks were the reason for the forehead tattoo?
Starting point is 00:26:30 Was that involved? Most, most definitely. Most definitely. For sure. So how do you start rebuilding your career after the Island Boys phase of your career? Pretty much, bro. I'm telling you, I go through it, bro. My life is a movie at him.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I tell you. Like, I was about to get betrayed or view him just tattered on my face. Like, I show love, loyalty, and I always end up getting betrayed. Like about the whole situation with them, I feel betrayed. I feel like I put my, I stuck my neck out there for them. I was out there stepping for them and they didn't show me no type of love no type of like so
Starting point is 00:27:10 they're very bad people to work with for sure I'm just going from Hawaii to LA from Hawaii to LA I'm just chilling bro right what's going on in Hawaii these days for you that's from my pieces at bro I'm trying to tell you I'm I tell people this all the time I'm a heartbroken homie you know what I'm talking about I'm just heartbroken view just viving like
Starting point is 00:27:30 because being in this game honestly I've been in the situation many times where you see someone an artist or a girl or whatever and you believe in them you think that they have potential to be more than what they are right now and you think that if you just like show them love and invest in them or whatever that they're going to return the favor but then in reality some people are just kind of rotten and the more time and energy you invest into them the worse it's going to be you were already gone by the time that me and them had this whole little beef and fell out right yeah now i'm going to mention this bruce
Starting point is 00:28:04 Did I tell you, I don't know if you saw the video, but I don't want to get in too much detail. Red wanted me to do some vicious stuff. Yeah, I don't even know if I want to, you know what I'm saying? You were recruited to pull a move on Adam 22, apparently. They wanted you to do this. What was your response when they approached you and said, we want you to put a hit out on Adam? I know, bro. I sat down, I thought, what?
Starting point is 00:28:36 You feel me? I'm like, bro, that's Adam, bro. Like, what is wrong with? Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, I think about it. And I'm like, is this my friend? Then I realize that's not my friend, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:48 I realize that's not my friend. Trying to put me in predicaments, situations. Hey, come on, bro. Like, a sacrifice or some shit. You think? Yeah, bro. Like, what? Insane.
Starting point is 00:29:00 If you got locked up over some shit with the island boys, would you have snitched on them? Knowing what you know about them now? the police then came to the house over some dumb shit bro i'm telling you flies a idiot not that shit where didn't the police came over i got locked up and i didn't say nothing i was going to take a charge because people came they rushed the house uh some females it was like a female fight and um the police came and like yeah brother like somebody got hitting their nose you know what i'm saying right it was one of the island boys like it was view they're
Starting point is 00:29:37 punched a girl. No, a dude. Some dude got punched in his face. Okay. They don't pull it up to the crib on some fuck shit, bro. We had to beat up a couple people. So this is different than the situation
Starting point is 00:29:47 where somebody who was associated with them got arrested for like killing a small girl, right? Yeah, that's sad. Do you know the dude who got popped for this situation? Not at all.
Starting point is 00:29:59 That was before. Yeah, not at all. That's some fucking weird shit right there, too. They got to do a better job vetting who they let around them. But anyways. So where are you going with your career now? What do you feel like the next stages of you ticking over the game looks like?
Starting point is 00:30:16 Bro, I just have my, I dropped the video and it hit 50K in three weeks. That's not too bad, right? No, no push, no nothing off my TikTok. But it's like people delete me. People don't want to see me go up and grow up and be this artist, feel me? Right. But I just realized I've been going viral from my fans, been talking about me and stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I'm like, okay, then. Do you think that there is like a still, like a solid Island Boys fan base that will continue to follow you no matter what you do? Or do you feel like their cloud is just done? Of course. It's because it's like grabbing the torch.
Starting point is 00:30:50 They're like Vium is the actual goat. The one that does this stuff, the one that makes this stuff happen. Everybody says I'm better than them and they hate it. Right. No, I'll say that for sure. Your music's definitely better than theirs.

Starting point is 00:31:20 then I'm, you know, I have this, you know, with the TikTok growing but people deleted my TikTok. It's crazy. Awful. I don't understand. How is this company so big and they still have this constant problem where people can just get deleted off their platform just based on some
Starting point is 00:31:37 reported for no reason. I was eating some some in and out like oh I'm me and an animal style burger it got reported wow that's crazy so what do you want the people to look out for what do you have on the way what's the point Kim K official music video that's doing numbers out right now I'm actually a rapper

Starting point is 00:33:06 possible. Where'd Vium come from again? It's a pretty good rap name. I'm not going to lie. Vium, it was, I was in Virginia, and I had this business. I was in the streets, you know what I'm saying? This is the past. I was just dropping off deliveries, and then I'll call my homie like, bro, I'm out. You know, I need some more. I'm on the way. Vume!
