Starting point is 00:00:00 You're good. All right. I just want this for setting the sound. I just want to make sure because I don't want to spend two hours talking in it and not being recorded. Are you good over there? It's recorded. All the way good. You promise me that?
Starting point is 00:00:14 I promise you. Let's get it. Okay. All right. So, everyone's probably like, yo, what the fuck? Look who he has on the podcast. Why wouldn't I be here with you? I want to say something first before we get into this podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Very significant story that I have about you, Seth, that I want everybody to hear. And I don't think a lot of people know, because I remember at one point, like, when I stopped filming videos with you way back in the day, that people were like, oh, you're a bitch, you don't appreciate what you did for me, as if, like, it was something that we decided on, you know? Because people tend to just, like, go down their past whatever they are. But I want to say to everybody listening, and it's very significant. Obviously, you got a lot of controversy around you right now, right? But to everybody listening, I need to tell a story about Yousef. How many years ago was this? How many years ago was this? Five, four? When did you start YouTube? What year? I don't think go back on my 700 videos And you're in them It was before my 90 day journey
Starting point is 00:01:06 So it was a long time ago I think that's 2015, maybe 14 Yeah It's been a long time Yeah Are you picking his mic up right? Yeah
Starting point is 00:01:16 Okay So Here's the deal When I first met Yousef And I first started YouTube I met you at a celebrity football game And I went up to Yousef
Starting point is 00:01:26 Because I knew he was a YouTuber I was an Instagrammer at the time Okay, it was not a YouTube I didn't know how to YouTube. I was good at, like, posting app selfies and not so much in-depth, like, videos. And I went up to Youssef, and he was out of shape at the time. And I was like, man, I wonder if I could figure out a way to work with this guy
Starting point is 00:01:40 because I know he's killing it on YouTube, and I want to live on YouTube, want to be on YouTube. So I came to him out of a celebrity football game. And you saw me, you were like, oh, man, fucking, you know, Jack, whatever. And I was like, oh, yeah, cool. And then you were like, you want to get back. I want to get back in shape. So I was like, oh, well, help me.
Starting point is 00:01:54 How about you help me with this YouTube thing? I'll help you with that. we could film a little series so we started doing it um i want to say i think i was in like one of your videos back in a day and i got like 25 000 subscribers on a channel with no followers like excuse me with no videos i had no videos 25 000 right but that's not the point the point is more significant than that when i first started doing the youtube channels i basically did like a training series with you and i went from like literally someone who i remember the first few videos i did was like you guys can go back if you go back on my youtube all the way down like 700 videos down you were in my first
Starting point is 00:02:26 videos and they're still there and you could see how like on i don't know how do you say like unconfident i was to be on camera supremely unconfident and i was watching you because i was doing it with you someone who's been doing it for years prior and i just want everyone to know how much and i want you to know how much you help me like be comfortable with myself and that shit i'm not trying to be sad or anything but um significant it's significant because yeah no i mean this shit and it showed me to just kind of let go because you were the first person back then to be like I watched you do it because you were next to me
Starting point is 00:03:03 filming some stuff for your channel or like trying to coaching me through it you were one of the first people that you you almost made it feel like and it's funny too because it was the first thing you started remember be yourself one of the first things you mentioned to people that was the thing that was the thing you taught me
Starting point is 00:03:18 and it was ironic that that was around the same time you were doing that that's exactly what I learned and looking back now in my life I'm like fuck man like So I want to say thank you, and I've told you, like, in the past, and texts and stuff, but I wanted to say it face to face, how much it meant to me. Fuck. Because I think significant to know that, like, I, without the moments in my life, good and bad,
Starting point is 00:03:39 no matter what they are, I wouldn't be where I'm at today. And you were a significant moment in my life who taught me something that without that, I wouldn't have been able to do all this. I wouldn't have been able to reach all the people that I've been able to reach with my message, things that I care about. if you didn't come along and help me be like you know hey fuck it just try it just go like just fuck it
Starting point is 00:03:57 I remember you were like just do it just do it like just and I watched you do it because watching you do it is what was significant to show me that I could do it and I think a lot of people in the world don't get to see something they don't see something possible maybe because in their community or the people they're around with they're not doing it they're not a part of it
Starting point is 00:04:13 and they don't think it's possible for them even though they want to do it so until you see someone do something I think it's really significant for me to first say thank you you showed me something and you taught me something and I'm grateful before we get into this podcast. I love you like a brother and I have a piece of information to add to that story that you're going to be like, I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:04:32 First of all, on your last line, nobody was able to run a four-minute mile until somebody did it. Yeah. Or however much the time was. And as soon as somebody did it in the following year, hundreds of people did it because it took somebody to see it happen, right? building a plane or an object that goes in the sky and flies was done by two brothers
Starting point is 00:04:55 who had to try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try and try again and continue to fail until they got it up and it wasn't until they were able to do that until they activated another mind that said oh I could do that can I also do that what about that you know yeah in the mind for sure my Instagram bio used to always be like some egotistical shit I didn't follow nobody to Until I get a message from a person one day, a supporter, and they go, you sit. Align your Instagram bio with what you're trying to do with your life. And I changed it to literally my goal, my purpose in life is to awaken the giant within each and every one of you.
Starting point is 00:05:33 From sunrise to sunset, you are my life. A month after I changed my bio like that, I'm sitting here now, I walk around with no shoes on. I got a whole team around me that supports me. I don't have a phone and a phone number anymore. We walk around L.A. We have conversations with the real people. I've given two Uber drivers a full-time salary job with me. We're sparking conversations with people.
Starting point is 00:05:58 There was a kid selling candy in the streets today. Bought all of his candy spread it out. He said he, I was like, what do you want to do? He goes, I'm 18. I sell candies on the weekends. I said, what do you want to do? So I want to get in the studio. I said, Adam, take his number.
Starting point is 00:06:09 We're putting them in the studio. I activated him. Yeah. So what I got to the point of, and I'll go back to explain what i have to add let me make sure your mic should keep going people no i want you to be sitting i want you to be sitting i'll wait check this thing up his audio is funny this audio is tripping on me this is the pink pink one this is way better than keem stars you talking oh my god i hope this blows kem stars out the water it's recording it right i really hope it blows kem stars out the water hey
Starting point is 00:06:37 you got to get a good thumbnail and a good title this has to blow kem star and i think you should upload it like time time so look look look i got you Let's continue when you get back on. So my story, right? All my failures in life, all the things I tried on YouTube was always me trying to be a good person and do good, but I just wasn't ready for what my greater purpose was, so I would try something and fail
Starting point is 00:07:02 because I would read comments and I would be held down by what people thought about me. It wasn't until we get to this point now where I'm like, look, this guy kapoled me up because we literally just went to a place right now to get jerseys and energy of people came king star ended up walking in randomly again so here's what i say that to say one guy pulls me up he goes so what are you trying to do i said i'm trying to change the world that's what i want to talk about he said how do you plan on doing that i said i'm
Starting point is 00:07:30 going to make a hundred million dollars by january 1st 2019 i'm going to give every single penny of it to the entire world and not touch any of it he goes oh so you're trying to be robin hood i said if that's what that means he goes well let me ask you a question i go what he was how do you plan to eat. I go, what do you mean? He goes, how do you plan to eat food? You're giving all your money away. I go, first off, I drank ocean water yesterday. I drink bath water now because I believe everything's a gift from God. You'd have some nasty shits though. And also, I'm just going to say that sounds like. Also what he forgot, I told him, sir, what people fail to recognize is I've been doing this since 2011. I've made millions of dollars. I've been in two Hollywood movies. I have a great
Starting point is 00:08:08 career. I've made all that money and still found myself suicidal. So even if I continue and make so much more it's not going to make me happier but that doesn't mean I have to stop making money I can use my gifts now in private because I've left social media I don't know my phone anymore I'm going to make money in private for the people
Starting point is 00:08:25 my purpose is to make money and activate all my friends around me my boy Kais who inspired you know how I'm your you know I have a story to that right Kais Omar Productions I was in high school
Starting point is 00:08:41 a friend invites me over to his house We do a video called MySpace Addiction Before YouTubers got paid Right? We thought we were lit We get a thousand views of video We were crushing him. We celebrated out the club for that He inspired me to start Fusitou I watched him edit
Starting point is 00:08:57 I watched everything He taught me I get invited to dinner by two of my girlfriends At the time Alexandria Carbonell and Stella Marie Who are now married And they told me at dinner They were like Yusuf We see what you want to be
Starting point is 00:09:11 But if you want to be an actor you have to start your own YouTube and Stella paid for the bill that day the first time anybody showed me an act of gratitude like that so I started Fusi too it blew up immediately because I was activated Me and Kais had differences
Starting point is 00:09:25 because of like he put me on there was a lot of people feeding in his ear You said if you know how it goes Egos got in the way I continued rising I blew up I never looked back and now after all these years me and Kais not only talk again
Starting point is 00:09:39 not only our brothers not only am I about to be at his wedding but I looked at him as a man eye to eye and said the first $10 million I make is going straight into your pocket and you're producing the movie you want to produce you're coming out with the shoe line you want to come out with and the clothes
Starting point is 00:09:56 he wears Yeezy all the time he inspires kids to camp out I'm like Kais why are you camping out for somebody else's shoe why don't we camp out for yours I understand it so I say that to say what happened with me and you you forgot about this
Starting point is 00:10:11 when we first started the deal we met with my lawyer outside of a restaurant and we drafted up a deal that I was going to take a percentage of your profits but you had insured me like you better like you got to stay promoting you got to do this I recognized early on
Starting point is 00:10:25 because I worked out with you just because I wanted to lose weight not because I wanted to make money or business but you were so hungry for business I recognized we can't have this relationship because I know it's going to end badly because you can't have business so I hit up my lawyer
Starting point is 00:10:40 I hit you up I said, hey, y'all, fuck this deal. I want Brad to do what he does. And I had to walk away from that and be able to walk away from the ego of saying, I did this, I deserve a percentage, and let you do you. And what you did for me, you never let me forget that you were grateful. Because when you opened up this gym, when you hit your first million subscribers, the first person you texted was always me.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Even if I hadn't talked to you in months, you would text me. just to say, I did it, I love you. I did it. I love you. I came to your gym grand opening just to support. So you always let me know that you were grateful. And if the whole world helps each other out like that, not like
Starting point is 00:11:26 I'm going to help you because I want something from you. No, I'm going to help you and I know even if you don't or want to or can't, I know if I'm doing it with proper intention, you can help me. We can make the world a better place. So that's a beautiful way to start this thing. I had no idea you were going to say that.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Because that's exactly what July 15th was supposed to be about. And you've accessed that. Let's talk about it then. So let's talk about the message. But also, because I'm just going to play devil's advocate, the way you go about the message sometimes and the way that I've seen it and like other people's things. You're going to give me some juicy stories that I haven't told. Bro, because like it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I'm going to give an example of myself before I mention anything about what you've done. Example of myself in the fitness industry. I made a video and I talked about the fitness industry is fucked. And it was just a shit. and I'm going to tell you what happened. I made a video about the fitness industry is fucked. And I basically talked about because at the time I was growing in the industry
Starting point is 00:12:22 and I would go to these events and people would line up to take pictures and I was grateful, so grateful. And you know how grateful I am. And I saw what other people were doing and like I get it, they're selling their stuff, they're selling their merchandise, but one thing that irked me so bad when I went there
Starting point is 00:12:34 to one of these events, it was LA FitExpo. They were selling signed pictures of themselves. So when I saw that, I was like, okay, shit, this has bothered me. What I want to talk about it. And I talked about it. So this is going to relate to your message here. Not necessarily to your message, but the thing that we're going to talk about later.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I made a video where I basically was like, yo, this is bullshit. In other words, these guys are fucker, fuck boys. But I never said anyone's name. I never pointed at anyone specifically. But what happened was people who watched the video went back and were like, oh, shit, I was at the expo. So-and-so was doing it. They were commenting. Then you had all these people saying all these people who were doing it.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Then those people were going and attacking those people. those people. And then it got back where it's like Brad's attacking us. So then everybody in their motherfucking mom started making videos about me saying you're a fucking piece of shit. You attracted energy. I did. And what I learned about the message that I was trying to give off was like
Starting point is 00:13:27 yo be grateful for these people who are already doing everything for you. Be grateful these people who are already buying your merch or watching your stuff or doing things that are supporting you. And when you go you get an hour because you don't know if these people spent all their last money to fly to see you at the event or to where they came from and it's like just be there give them a fucking picture sign it that shit cost you like maybe 80 cents so I'm like why are you trying to make five dollars four
Starting point is 00:13:49 so it so it bothered me it wasn't what you said it was how I said it and I learned I learned that instead of me going and saying you guys are wrong for doing that I learned that I just need to keep being an example of right so when I'm talking to you like there was things that I'm seeing it like I saw you did like a thing a podcast it was Adam and you like you said some shit about so-and-so or what you did and it came across kind of like you know why the fuck are you saying this and and I and I've known you for long enough when I'm watching this I'm like why the fuck is Yusuf doing this so I want to I want to basically not necessarily challenge you I just want to be like what what happened along the way where the like the way you
Starting point is 00:14:23 delivered the message was kind of can I tell you the whole story of course before I start I want them to introduce themselves oh I'm sorry no but he everyone knows that motherfucker yeah everyone know he's all over the internet they don't know you what up man Adam I'm sorry yeah Adam Sala what's up yeah I'm sorry, dude. No, it's all right. Don't want to put it. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I'm chilling. I'm interested in. The reason he's here. So we were in Australia together for the Adam Eats Fusi tour, and that's where this idea came about. We're all sitting outside of a Shisha lounge. Something in me activates and I get pissed about something. I've told that story so many times I don't want.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I get up, I walk away. I record a vlog. July 15th idea came into my head right then and there, and he's been with me ever since. He's been. He's seen every call I've made with every celebrity. He's seen every celebrity that was confirmed. He was with me, you know, right before I met Drake, he was with me every step of the way. So anytime anybody on the Internet said something, you didn't meet Drake.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I didn't have to, you know, try to prove myself anymore because I got my team who's been around me who knows it. Why did I say Drake was in New York? Huh? Why did they say Drake was in New York? They tried to say he was in London. There's videos of him leaving Delilah that night. Why do you think they put out the things saying he didn't meet you? Okay, I'll tell that story.
Starting point is 00:15:37 Okay. That's a beautiful thing. But this is Adam Sala. What's up? What's up? And I'm Andrew. That's my brother's name. Is it?
Starting point is 00:15:44 Yeah. I mean, Andrew, Drew. I'm asking him to Mexico. Hey, and he looks like a regular dude. This dude got me in contact with half the rap industry. I was on FaceTime with Shadi. Trayway, uh, Takashi. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Shaking. As he's looking at me, he goes, yeah, what do you need? And I'm like, I'm trying to change the world in July 15. We were going to get 6'9 until he got arrested. He got arrested. Yeah, the Houston. So I just wanted them to introduce themselves. I also got slimification.
Starting point is 00:16:09 chin. I also have BDA. He calls himself big. Yeah, didn't he say something on one of yours? He said, there was some challenge. He tried to challenge me about something. Arm wrestling. Yeah. Hey, well, I just really, he always talks shit about you. Oh, where? It's all good. It's all good. This is YG West. I know, we back. So for him, for example, he got style, right? I told him, I promised him, I go, bro, you're going to be one of the biggest fashion designers in the world.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Because when I get money, I'm going to give it to him to do that. He wants to be a lawyer. So I told them, you can lawyer every single person in our group. We got to support each other. But you have a law degree? I'm working towards you. Right, right, right, okay. And this man, Chris, I met his friend Bobby. Can he give me some of that hair?
Starting point is 00:16:51 No. That would be awesome. That would be awesome. Hey, doesn't the tattoo look good though? No, it looks fucking sick. So Chris, I met his partner, Bobby in Cancun. When I didn't have this tattoo hair line, I was insecure, I was fat. And I went up to them.
Starting point is 00:17:03 He wasn't there. Bobby was. He had a group of girls. I was like, hey, can I meet y'all and take a picture? yada yada, I was insecure. When I got this idea, I remember I met Bobby. I DM Bobby. Bobby, I'm about to film a movie.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I need you. He puts a team together. I give them $20,000. I'm like, produce whatever you want. I get whatever you want. Give them full creative control. These two now are a part of my team and are in charge of all my visions.
Starting point is 00:17:29 So I'm only strong, not because I'm doing shit, but because of the team around me. I got like artists around me. And it's dope. One thing I want to say, because we can talk for however long, and I believe if somebody wants to listen, they can. If they don't, they don't have to. Yeah, no, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:17:44 But a huge difference between this interview right now and the interview that's going to come out on Saturday on Kimstar. When I'm getting, Kimstar is my boy now. But the one thing Kimstar does is when I'm trying to tell my story and I say like, I met Drake, his response is, no, you didn't. So that brings out, it triggers me, right? you are accepting anything I say as truth you're not biased you're not trying I wasn't there
Starting point is 00:18:10 you weren't there you know I have no fucking idea you don't have an agenda so you're allowing the room to be calm so when they watch Keemstar's interview because of so much emotions involved there's a scene where I stare at the camera I scream and I'm crying at the top of my lungs people are gonna be like he's a lunatic they watch your interview I'm sitting here calmly
Starting point is 00:18:26 with my shoes off in the moment appreciating this time that's the difference energy reaches energy so what my problem is that I did with July 15 delivering the message. It was a huge success, but here's why it had to happen. July 15th, I knew that I only had seven days to pull it off. What does that do? It puts an insane amount of pressure on it, which causes you to do an insane amount. Why does you just trying to take more time? Because I thought I was going to get a nose surgery on July 19. So I was
Starting point is 00:18:56 like, yeah, I'll just do it by the 15th, get my surgery, go away for a month. Not expecting this to happen, but here's why it happened. So July 15th happens. I put so much pressure on it in such short amount of time, it exploded. I said, I want more eyes on this than the president has on our country. God gave me what I wanted, but not how I asked him for it. So when we were in Australia and I'm hyping up my team before we even have a venue, I'm screaming and you'll see this when I release my documentary that shows the behind-the-scenes footage that the world doesn't even know about it yet. When I have DJ Khalid talking to the camera, Tyler Perry, Lenny S, everybody was mentoring me and they feel stupid.
Starting point is 00:19:35 But that's not my agenda to make them feel stupid. See, that was the old me coming out. Yeah. And I caught myself. So what happened is it exploded. I asked God for the Staples Center. I got the Greek Theater. He shut it down with a bomb threat to remind me,
Starting point is 00:19:50 you didn't ask me for the Greek Theater. You asked me for the Staples Center. I asked to make $3 million in three months. The morning of the show, I got a $3 million deal to sell my tour and have a company run it for me. The show shut down The company offered me more money
Starting point is 00:20:07 And wants to help me And they want to put me in the Staples Center Life works in mysterious ways Yeah So what's happening is Because I did that huge explosion And then when I'm sitting in that room with Sam I sat in that podcast
Starting point is 00:20:21 When I hadn't even decompressed yet My energy still at all time high I don't know how to harness it I invited negative energy into my room I'm dealing with somebody who I can talk to him for 25 years he's not going to accept my message I'm not going to accept his we're just going to argue so as I'm screaming not and not not not like I'm not gonna hurt him I'm not gonna anything I was just letting my voice be heard and he
Starting point is 00:20:47 feel he felt me and he feared me he felt me and he feared me not that I'm putting him in danger but that holy shit I'm intimidated because he knew that he was in the wrong he came into that room on his live stream to call me out, to, because thinking he had the upper hand. Well, he thought I was the old Yusuf who was gonna let him kick me down and let the world push me down. Oh, he got, he has depression,
Starting point is 00:21:14 let's make sure he still hasn't kicked him. So that day, I just took back control of my life to show people, I'm not the person you used to fuck with. Yeah. I love myself now. Let me ask you a question. But one more thing, let me finish. Okay. So as soon as I get home, all my friends calm me down.
Starting point is 00:21:31 I'm in the bathtub, I'm decompressing, I'm meditating, That's what I do. My meditation lesson for that day was on pausing. As soon as I got home, the meditation taught me when you are triggered in life, before you react, taking that energy and pause. And if I had paused in that moment with Sam, I could have learned how to take that energy in and use it for good, but I didn't. But I needed to do something wrong to learn.
Starting point is 00:21:59 It's okay to make mistakes. It doesn't mean I'm not trying to do things with good intention. Yeah. Sometimes doing the wrong thing leads you to doing the right thing. So that fight with Sam is the last time hopefully you're ever going to see me have to do that because energy attracts energy. Hate attracts hate, love attracts hate, energy attracts energy. He met me with hate that day.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I reciprocated it with hate. Next time I'm in a position where somebody's trying to do that to me, I'm going to reciprocate it with silence. Yeah. Or love. If you look at me in the face right now. But if somebody has a chance to be, you know, if you feel like you have to understand who to give your energy to, if I feel like I can reach somebody with love, I'm going to give
Starting point is 00:22:44 him. And I did to him. Before I even replied to him and got that angry, because I was about to give him a message with love, I told him, I said, look, I'm sorry that when shit went down in your life, I wasn't there for you as a friend. I abandoned you to protect my image. And as a man, I'm looking at you and saying, I apologize, I love you, and in hindsight, I would have helped you.
Starting point is 00:23:03 And I say this next thing with love. You getting arrested at my event didn't start on July 15th and doesn't end with July 15th. You got arrested three times in the last week. You go around making money off of getting arrested, off of causing drama. I watched his group on stream.
Starting point is 00:23:18 They attract drama to themselves. Their own group. I spread my group. We pray with each other. We love each other. His group slaps him. Fights with him. They get in brawls.
Starting point is 00:23:27 They punch each other. They're living their life that way. I have no doubt that inviting him to my show attracted that negative energy that ended up in it getting canceled somebody can hear what I just said and be like he just blamed Sam I didn't I said it was my choice in inviting that kind of energy that got my show canceled as soon as I walked out of that podcast after saying what I had to say there were supporters clapping for me outside and a person with a YouTube channel
Starting point is 00:23:53 recording me I did a 15 minute interview I walked out of hate and stepped into love I needed that day to happen to learn how to harness this energy anyways I spoke for too much Yeah, no, it's okay. You mentioned depression, and I know this about you because I've talked you about in the past. Mental health, you deal with issues. 100%. Do you think, do you know that? I know that.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Do you not remember me? I know. I remember. I just, I don't, the way I'm approaching it is I don't want to, I don't want to be like, you fucking deal with this shit. I'm just letting you, I'm letting you control it. But I want to be able to like throw it out there. Do you think that the things you've dealt with in the past or the things you've, that you've existed with in your life, mental health? issues do you think that is causing any of any issues now not at all no that's what's so funny
Starting point is 00:24:39 about this so everyone's calling me crazy right because because you you said that you stopped taking medication okay everyone's calling me crazy right now calling me i see it and that's why i'm bringing it up because i i really franco okay yeah casey nice that texts me personally privately then lets me call him the next day tells me you sip just even if you're doing good you should see a therapist provides it with love philip de franco doesn't comment on what the fuck i'm doing about hate, dies, love arrives when it's doing good or when it's doing bad.
Starting point is 00:25:08 But the second he saw me cuss at Sam, he reports on it. The second he sees my behavior... Of course, and it's all about fucking views. Instead of reaching out to me as a person, as a human first, and being like, yo, are you okay?
Starting point is 00:25:20 He comments publicly on my Instagram and goes, I think you should check yourself into a mental health place. He posts a video I'm painting me to be a bad person. I DM him and I go put me on your podcast next week.
Starting point is 00:25:32 He goes, unfortunately with the way you behaved in front of Sam to protect my team and family, I can't invite you here. He didn't give a shit about me as a person. He cared about spreading whatever narrative he feels like he has. I always thought he was a good guy. I auditioned for amazing race with him. I saw him and his wife. I spent time with them.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I thought everything was squashed. When I won the streamies, I shot it or I gave him a shout out during that time. I squashed shit. You know how the internet works though, man. It's manipulated. It's literally like, I mean, literally, One of the most popular things on the internet now because the way it's working is drama
Starting point is 00:26:07 and it's benefiting off of other people's... That's why I sent a message to PewDiePie. And they're hating on that. Too, we can talk about everything. But when I got off my medication... Let's talk about that. I was scared to post on Fusi II for a year. I lived in my mom's basement.
Starting point is 00:26:18 I smoked every day. I played Fortnite at night from midnight to 8 a.m. With this guy right here, this 19-year-old who's going to be huge on YouTube one day. And I gave up online. It wasn't until I decided, you know what? You don't have to accept this for your reality anymore. You don't have to hold yourself.
Starting point is 00:26:32 back from posting on Fusitu. It took a year of silence for me to get the strength. My return video to Fusitou, if I wanted it to, it could have been a real rice gum distract. Mine was a troll. It could have been a real one. It could have been a clout gang dish. It could have been with hate. I came back crying in my first ever video announcing to the world, I got off medication and I know I'm going to be okay. And I want you all to support me through this. I restored my faith in God that day that I got off the medication and put my face in the ham. So as people are calling me crazy, the reason it triggered me so much. Why'd you want to get off medication?
Starting point is 00:27:03 Because it was enslaving me. It was enslaving my thoughts. It was keeping me complacent in my mom's basement. What did you feel? Nothing. I was a zombie. I would be cool and content with doing the same thing every day. Because I wasn't able to have high thoughts.
Starting point is 00:27:17 I wasn't able to have low thoughts. I was just able to be on an even keel. So right when I got off of it, right? How long did you take it for, though, for you? Since I was like 18, different medications. I'll go on everything. Everything. So my last, the ones I got off of were lithium and lexopro.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Okay. Connie says, you never want to see your brother off as Lexa Pro. Yeah. Getting off of it was hard, but I did it with the care of a doctor. I weaned off. I got off. Beginning it was hard. I was still hazy.
Starting point is 00:27:43 All of a sudden, one day, my faith in God is restored. My mind is finally clear because you have to go through hell to get off medications. That shit is hard. The withdrawals are real. Just like, like, seriously, the levels of crack cocaine. You can't even sit there without your mind going, it's trippy. But as soon as I made it out, and didn't go back to the medications that the doctors always try to put you back on.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah. I got hit with so much energy all at once that as everyone's calling me crazy, that's fine because they don't understand that I just don't know how to control this newfound energy yet. And the same way Tyler Perry talked to my dad on the phone and said, trust me, your son is onto something great. You just have to be patient. He understands I just have to learn how to, Tyler, we got to talk about Tyler. You are the one who got me to Tyler.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Yeah. We have to talk about that. We've got to show love. Did you know that I contacted him and I said that he should reach out to you? No, I didn't know that. I love you, man. I know, I know. And then what did I do?
Starting point is 00:28:39 I told Tyler to reach all the other YouTubers. I know. Your act of kindness without even telling me inspired me to get Lexi Penitera on the movie, Kean and J.C. on the movie and every other YouTuber on that movie. We convinced Tyler to put them in the movie, right? So when people are calling me crazy, my own mother, crying, thinking I'm going crazy. Whatever, I called Tyler and I told him what they're not understanding is, I've never been more happy.
Starting point is 00:29:06 I've never been more clear. I've never been more free. You mean this wholeheartedly. Dog, ask my friends. Ask them how I am in real life. We pray together. We got on the beach yesterday. We all got in a circle with the sun on us.
Starting point is 00:29:21 I made each person announce their dreams out loud. And I told everybody, don't laugh. Because they always want to laugh at Slim. because they jokesters but I said in this circle don't laugh everyone announced their dreams they got clapped for they got hugged and they got continued my group is happy we're literally practicing what we preach we're walking as a squad on barefoot they support me they're protecting me a group that loves each other this unconditionally is great keem asked me on the interview he said oh so you're basically trying to start the next club game I said no keem the difference is
Starting point is 00:29:59 I am gonna buy a mansion in LA and a giant studio in LA and I am gonna have all my friends live in it but we're never announcing ourselves as a group we're never showing our new house we're just continuing on our mission because we love each other like real brothers and real family I'm not gonna take compensation from my team
Starting point is 00:30:19 I'm a fund my team's dreams not to have them sign a contract saying they'll never leave me I'm not trying to enslave nobody to put money in my pocket what the fuck God forbid what if we got in a fight and now you're telling me he has to try to raise a family but he signed his life to me for 20 years and i'm still taking a check fuck that help me right here and now and is that what happens with those other that shit i don't know shit about it bro there are some people who are signed on to teams that even if they fall out and they hate each other and they go to
Starting point is 00:30:48 lawsuits they have a 10-year contract stating that no matter what you do in your life my lawyers are coming after you and i'm taking a percentage my team is here out of love. I ask Adam sometimes because I don't have my wallet. Yo, bro, take the team out to eat. Pay for it. I got you.
Starting point is 00:31:09 And then when I go to him and be like, yo, let me pay you back. He goes, nah, fuck that. Because we're brothers. Because I stared at him in the eye and told him, you support me through this hellstorm that I'm about to go through. And when we get to the other side of that rainbow,
Starting point is 00:31:22 his family has chickens in their backyard. And we used to laugh at him for it. I'm going to build a farm for his family. I'm going to buy his family a house I'm going to start his fashion thing I'm going to give him all the money he needs for all the expensive cameras to activate everything he wants Adam already knows and this is private between me and him
Starting point is 00:31:38 I got stuff planned for him Drew he asked for one thing He said I want to be your Bugatti brother I said the Bugatti You just want a Bugatti? Something like that There's no way in life for me to have this pure of an intention and will this many promises to people
Starting point is 00:31:56 for God not to grant me what I'm asking for Have you ever felt this way before? Never in my life. I used to be scared when friends around me tried to see me grow. When I'm in Jersey depressed, Drew, tell him what happened when you tried to help me when I wanted to, like, kill myself. Tell him what happened. Bro, we used to fight.
Starting point is 00:32:12 And one thing I want to air out right now while this, we're on this topic, there is no yes man in this group. This is not all real. A lot of people. A lot of hate saying this and that. We always say yes, but we always ask me to talk so many times. They advise me all the time. I just got an argument.
Starting point is 00:32:28 with them in the car because I wanted to post it's funny I was it were you talking about time in the car yeah when you called yeah okay but no that wasn't what the argument was about there was somebody who posted something I don't have social media Adam asked me Yusuf should I reply to this guy I said you know what from your phone I should post the response video posted on your story Adam said no I got mad we talked it out because you had said you already weren't going to post anything right right I let I let him explain I was defensive at first But then Adam and Drew and the rest of the crew advised me, and I didn't do it. They don't only say yes, but they know what they are saying yes to is real.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Yeah, I think it's interesting. You can keep going too, but I think it's interesting how people on the internet, like, I mean, it's just how it's what it is. People see stuff and they get bits and pieces, and they see the popular comment or the comment that people say the most, and everyone else is just like, that's what's happening? Bro, this should happen to me, early January. Hey, why did I disable my comments? You want to know the funniest thing? While all this was going on, I would upload a video. and keep the comments and likes on.
Starting point is 00:33:30 The dislikes would beat the likes, right? So I tried something. I disabled the comments, I disabled the likes. But you still can track it behind the scenes. And every video I disabled, the likes outweat the dislikes. What happens on the internet, people don't know how to think and believe for themselves, so they join the majority.
Starting point is 00:33:49 So if they join a video... Well, I think it's easier to dislike something. So I left my response to PewDiePie on purpose. I left the likes and dislikes and comments open knowing that the dislikes were going to annihilate the likes and that's supposed to happen because I'm showing everybody, right?
Starting point is 00:34:06 Right now y'all are just joining the majority because in PewDie Pye's response video I showed what he said about me. Guess what I said? Not a single word. I put footage of July 15th and I had a motivational speech. My team busted that out in a day
Starting point is 00:34:20 and they're still rejecting it hating on it because all of PewDie Pies fans are hating on it. So instead of trying to understand the message instead of giving it time until I do the second one and show everybody Drake at my show everybody I promised at my show DJ Callid DJing my show instead of being patient they're just gonna hate on it so I kept it there because I'm like I'm gonna allow them to hate on it so when I do do it when they still hate on how I did it I can show them hate as much as you want it's not stopping me I mean I think that there's power in that and it lets people think for themselves when a kid
Starting point is 00:34:54 watches something like a reality TV show on television Before social media, a kid was able to formulate his own opinion. Now he reads comments and he's being told what to think. Yeah. I think it's very real. The blind are leading the blind. The sheep are leading the sheep. I'm now telling people, wake the fuck up, man.
Starting point is 00:35:11 My shirt said king is back. I'm not the king. The people are the king and queens. I'm letting y'all know the powers now with the people. They didn't give me a chance to explain my message, Brad. Yeah. But that's why I wanted to talk to you about this. And that's what you're allowing me to do now after the fact.
Starting point is 00:35:27 But Drew, get to what you were saying. So we were talking about when you were in New Jersey. When I was beefing with you. Yeah, when he was beefing. So basically, like, Yusuf, I would set up, like, these brand deals. We'd have these events to go to. There's, like, everything, every possible thing. But at the time, I guess, we could just say it was bad timing.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Yeah. It just didn't work out. I even told him that, hey, maybe I should, you know, get into YouTube or social media, since I'm always running with you. And we could start, like, this whole thing together. He basically caught me out of his life, like, out of nowhere, like, cold turkey. I didn't hear from him for, like, a few months. but he's my brother and this is how you know it's real loyalty i can hear i didn't hear from literally
Starting point is 00:36:02 for a few months i get one random text at 450 like in the morning hey drew i'm in australia i know we didn't call i got something big coming we'll talk i talked to him later that day i happen on the next flight and we're out and we're here like we picked off like nothing happened i wasn't ready for him to help change my life i rejected his health and i still hated myself i was still on medications i still didn't believe in myself i'll push them out one thing a lot of people need to realize too is no one's leaching off anyone here adam has built his own empire is very successful slim waji i've done my own and now like you know i med's here next he's like the arro little brother he's obviously his mentor he's next up so it's not
Starting point is 00:36:39 like we're leaching off him and we're yes manning him to get our own success it's a it's a it's a whole family like collaborative so what do you guys you you can answer this as well and you guys you want to try them into what do you guys think about hold on who wants to sit here somebody yeah and someone could jump in someone could jump in someone could jump in there it's fine What do you guys think about, like, the way he went about it, though? Sometimes it's like, it was questionable. You answer this because you saw me come up with it. I've seen everything happen.
Starting point is 00:37:07 Like, I've seen the birth. Did you go to the podcast, the 20, Adam, 22? No, they're watching it out home. He was supposed to come meet us. He just randomly just saw it up. They just saw me pop up. They recorded their reactions at home. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:37:18 But they knew. They knew it wasn't going to get ugly. But I knew all it took was for one person. do anything, I wouldn't have to send a text. I got goons behind me. I got protection. I got rappers who protect you for what? But for what? Harm. No one's trying to harm you. No one is, but the reason also is, 6-9, his message, he gathers energy. No one's attacking him because he has protection, people who believe in his message. This is the same thing except my message is different. I'm going to meet 6-9, by the way. You're going to hang out with Shadi. You will see a picture.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Are you going to erase him? Oh yeah, because he's the fastest. We actually have a present for him. You should race him. We should definitely get that. But basically, so my team, since they believe in my message, I know I have their protection and support. Stiles P sent me a message after the event. Fucking Stiles P.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Meno, all these people. 50 hitting him up, set 50 cent. He's on 50 cents team. Hitting up and being like, yo, you know we got you in case anything happens. I got love. I got people supporting me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:22 But back to the question, though, real quick. what like what stuff what do you mean like what stuff was he like just like the the way right back we go back because i keep talking all right to talk yeah that's fine um like the way the way that he went about some like the some of the things that he was like he say and you saw the adam in the in the interview like what i think um like with the sam pepper when sam pepper was there yeah when it kind of like i think that's like his reaction was was normal because i seen sand pepper deserve deserved that from us this dude came inside. I've seen him with my own eyes. Sam Pepper came inside the whole event. He was YouTube live streaming it, you know, and as you know, as you know, like, you know the streamers
Starting point is 00:39:00 these days, they go around and like doing stupid stuff. Yeah. Like donations and stuff. I seen him doing it with my own eyes. And in my head, I already thought like, oh, like this, this is a live stream. Everyone knows the location, swatting, you know what I'm saying? Like, you already know. But didn't you guys allow Sam there? Uh, yeah, Yusuf allowed everyone. It's called hate, dies love arrives you know like allowed everyone there but obviously no one knew he was even live streaming no one was even allowed to live stream the whole Greek theater told him don't live stream and that's why at the end he got in trouble yeah at the end he got in trouble and there was another issue with another guy named country I don't know if we've seen him there
Starting point is 00:39:32 yeah with Sam pepper yeah he was trying to blame something but obviously that energy that YouTube live stream energy whatever I guess him being a streamer that it caused the yeah I guess he could thrive off of that same pepper try to come at him obviously I would act the same way I'll come at him straight back but still at the same time he should have never done that I told him I was like you should have you know never reacted that way but that's you know the heat of the moment right now it's calm and obviously people trigger when people someone triggers someone you're obviously going to react that way and and with Yusuf being off medications and people knowing he's off medications you know imagine if people didn't know
Starting point is 00:40:07 he's off medication they'll be like he's a genius but the fact that people know he's off medication they always bring that up if one person brings it up everyone else brings it up Oh, he's tripping out. He's bugging out. He's tripping out. But when you see him, like, when I see him in Australia telling me all these ideas, you know, I see it, he's passion, he's passionate. But then when other people, you know, mentioned, oh, he's off medications.
Starting point is 00:40:27 He's bugging out. He's going crazy. It just, you know, as you said, it just, that's what the views are coming in. Yeah, it's interesting. You can go ahead if you want. So, like, I've known you since like September, October last year. And, you know, whenever he did get off his medication and all that kind of stuff, whenever we would go out, I just noticed that he would go out, I just noticed that
Starting point is 00:40:45 huge that huge difference like in his aura just like he act completely differently he was way more energetic about yeah I want I wish Yusuf was here right now because I've known Yusuf for fucking years now yeah has he ever been like this? Never and that's what I want to say yeah is I legit I've never seen him
Starting point is 00:41:01 but there's a caveat to this I've never seen him here he is I wanted you here for this sit down here so he was talking about when you when you had gotten off medication and he saw how positive you were and how like you you were you see more motivated and i want to say i've known you for years i have never ever experienced this you set before i haven't either and and what in the thing that's it's the there's like like i think
Starting point is 00:41:27 you said it earlier you're learning how to be like this now and it's because it's a new feeling because you have it you've been on medication for so long um you're you seem so much more vibrant so much more full of life so much more just excited to do anything you're you're talking you want to share you almost remind me of a kid who's just like mad fucking happy you want to share the only thing I want to say the caveat is it comes off more aggressive sometimes you seem like Tyler told me that Tyler told me that
Starting point is 00:41:51 Yeah so I called Tyler yesterday morning And I'm pissed I go I call my mom I tell her I have three meetings today And she goes are you hallucinating Tyler goes Yous listen I love you
Starting point is 00:42:03 You're gonna get there But you're a little too high On your energy right now He said back away Leave breathe Put faith in God And don't put a deadline on it And because of that, I realized the reason I got rid of my phone and everything,
Starting point is 00:42:18 the reason I'm going to go on the spiritual retreat before I manifest being on stage with J. Cole on August 24th is to show people for the next month, they're not going to see me on the internet on any of my social media. My team is going to upload videos, but we're leaving it at that. Next time they see me, I'm on stage with J. Cole. Listen, listen, listen. Because the minute I walked in, there was a YouTube red thing, the LeBron thing. And I walked in and I saw you, and I was super late to this event, by the way. But I came in and I saw you and I was like,
Starting point is 00:42:45 yo, and this was the first time I got to speak to you since the event. And so it was the first time I really got to like, and your energy is like a fuck. Because I've talked to you so many more times, so many other times. It was never felt like that. And I'm going to tell you to the point I was like,
Starting point is 00:43:01 at first I was like, oh, what the fuck? I was kind of scared. I was taken back. I was like, holy shit. You want to know why it's so crazy you said that? Because my energy was aggressive. You know how much,
Starting point is 00:43:09 you know what happened to me? What? I get to that event from Alex Wasabi. I posted a video to LeBron. James earlier that morning, and I posted a letter to him, Dear LeBron, this is why I invited you to my event. The minute I posted that, Alex Wasabi calls me, he's our brother.
Starting point is 00:43:22 You're training, Alex, I'm serious. I don't know who he is. Alex calls me and goes, You said, I have two tickets to LeBron James premiere tonight. He's supposed to be there. He goes, but Aaron's coming with me, his brother. I call Aaron. I go, Aaron, you're my brother. I need this one favor. He goes, all right, but you got to do something for me. I go, I owe you
Starting point is 00:43:40 my life. We hang up. I go to the event. As soon as I walk in, I'm walking up to every YouTuber and just saying, I just want to spread positive energy. I love you guys so much because I was already radiating the charge. I was so charged up that night because I don't know how to harness this. I walk into the theater where the screenings being done. First person I see all the YouTubers are sitting down because that's what they know. Follow the rules. Sit down. Don't talk to people. You know, make yourself seem good so they invite you again. I'm on a mission. I'm walking in God's purpose. I remember I
Starting point is 00:44:09 pulled up on you. I was like, whoa. I see Scooter Braun. Yeah. Justin. Beaver's manager talking to Jason Williams who's the star of this documentary who used to be on the Bulls. Now you tell me Jay Cole who I look up to who camped outside of Jay Z's headquarters for weeks at a time and when Jay Z approached him and Cole said take my CD and Jay Z said no, you tell me I'm not going to take this moment to approach Scooter Braun and spread my message. So look what I did. I walked straight up to him. Everybody in the audience It's a shock, YouTubers are like, we were allowed to do that.
Starting point is 00:44:47 I go up to Scooter, I'm staring at him dead ass like this because I'm present in the moment, not on my phone. The phone fucks us up, man. Social media fucks us up, and that's my bigger purpose. I'll talk to you about that. Okay. I look at Scooter in the eye and I just say, can I give you 30 seconds?
Starting point is 00:45:02 He goes, sure, I give him two minutes. I talk 100 miles per hour, and I go, thank you for listening. I don't want anything. I just needed your energy. I walk away. Didn't talk to him, didn't look at him again the whole night. I walk up to every YouTube red person and I'm on the rooftop.
Starting point is 00:45:17 I'm so charged up, trying to charge up, trying to harness that energy to get LeBron to come. Because the same energy that I am harnessing, I got Floyd Mayweather to pull up to Barry's Cafe, 10 cars deep in the middle of the night. And the week before that, I had recorded a video saying I wanna work with him. I'm attracting energy.
Starting point is 00:45:34 The next morning, I wake up feeling good. Aw, this is so good. Another good thing happened later that night. Alex text me. It was, hey, brother, I'm so happy you came when we had fun. But as your brother, I gotta let you know. You kind of scared people last night. And a lot of people are saying you cornered Scooter Braun.
Starting point is 00:45:51 So the first thing I did was hit up Alfredo Flores, who's best friends with Justin, who's part of the team. And I said, look, man, if I disrespected Scooter in any way, I just hope you know it in your heart where my intentions were, because you guided me through this. He got it. I texted John Shahiri, who knows Scooter, because they both managed Justin.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Shots guys. The shots guys. And I send the same apology. And then I tell, and then I sit. there after I apologize and got that out there and I sent a lot of apologies to everybody on his team but I sat there and I said wait they're saying they're mad at me because I cornered Scooter Braun why is it a bad thing to go up to him to share love and respect and energy and it seemed like I'm cornering another
Starting point is 00:46:34 human we're all human I should be able to walk up to the president to the point where he's a man of the people and he can walk up to me in a diner and look me in the eye and have a conversation. All I'm doing is breaking that glass wall, the matrix, where it tells us what we can and cannot do. In hindsight, I know now, the reason I'm going on a meditational retreat you'll see in the next month and I'm leaving the internet, that's not how you do it. So I said all that to say, I know that's not how you do it, but I had to do that to cause an explosion of energy so big to make me understand. You don't force your way in. don't put deadlines you set goals so what i want to talk about and you reach your goals but you don't
Starting point is 00:47:18 put so much pressure on it you let go and you let god so i'm going on this meditational retreat to show everybody and documenting every second that i got onto j cole stage in a sold out arena in the staples center without lifting up a finger i'm going to go to different spiritual teachers around the world talk to people of the world of different religions spend time with people without a phone I'm not going to have social media to distract me to look at all these girls on Instagram and DM them and try to get in I got a girlfriend now. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:47:49 I'm just going to practice being a man of the people and harnessing that energy. And I know God is going to play itself out because you know how I know that? Yesterday on Keemstar, your mind's about to blow. You're about to get scared. Scared. This is big, scared. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:06 This is very serious. I put this on my life. We're on the way of Keemstar's interview. yesterday. It's me, Adam, Drew, and Chris. Chris is reporting it. I turn around and I start crying. And I go, I know for a fact, God wanted the event to fail so he can help me access the next chapter of my life through my inspiration, who was on my vision board first, because I wanted to meet him face to face as a man and not as a fan. I've met him as a fan. And I know so surely that God is going to give me that that I'm going to leave the country
Starting point is 00:48:42 meditate, let it happen on its own and if it doesn't happen and I've already announced this on Keemstar so I can't take it back you guys have my word that you will never see hear or feel anything from Yusuf al-a-God again
Starting point is 00:48:57 I will move out the country to an unknown location with my girlfriend and my dog I will spend the rest of my life in isolation meditation and in prayers to God somebody might hear that I be like, oh, this dude is bad shit crazy. But what God told me is, if I put faith that strong in my belief that he is my protector and going to take care of me, the reason Andrew started crying, the reason I announced that in the car, the reason Adam was like, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:49:28 what you doing, gee? It's because they know that we need each other in each other's lives. That love is going to be so strong. There is no way on God's green earth. that I'm not going to be on that stage. But by me saying that, I made a commitment to God that even if I don't get on that stage, I'm still willing to sacrifice this entire life of mine to just pray to him and thank him for this beautiful life that I now live. Because I understand, it's not about cars, it's not about clothes, it's not about money, it's not about YouTube views, it's not about subscribers, it's not about what girl you're banging, it's not about what event you're going to, It's not about any of that shit.
Starting point is 00:50:10 It's about your gratitude and your presentness here in life. I can spend my whole life sitting on a mountain being present in the moment with no phone and be happier than anyone in the world because that's what life's about. I study Osho. I study Eckhart Tolly. I study Napoleon Hill. I'm going to be the next Tony Robbins. That's a tall order.
Starting point is 00:50:33 The only difference is my name is Yusuf Salahara God. I'm going to sell 150 million copies of a book called July 15th the answers how to manifest your dreams into reality I'm going to become one of the strongest voices and influencers of change in the world J. Cole is not only going to allow me on that stage J. Cole is going to learn from me because I heard in an interview J. Cole talking about now understanding about the power of now and being present he's still dabbling on what I've been understanding for years where he's human he doesn't have an ego who's saying i can't give j cole advice just because j cole has higher status and more money there's somebody there's that's definitely not true there's somebody at the bottom
Starting point is 00:51:18 right now with nothing a homeless person on the street who can give even the most rich man in the world advice that he may not have never found yeah and well i even add to that i mean there's even advice that you can get from someone that if you think you know something in a certain way you could still listen to somebody else and see it from a different perspective when philip DM me and said that shit. You think I cuss them out? No, you know what I said? Thank you so much, brother God bless you.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Thank you for caring for me enough to share with me these feelings. No matter what somebody gives you, you just say thank you. Thank you for the love. So yeah, August 24th, Brad, I swear on everything I love. I'm looking at you dead in the eye. It's a little month away. What's you doing? I'm bad at math.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I'm super bad at math. Hey, Brad, I swear to you, that's my brother. So what's happening? I'm leaving the country. Wait, no, no, no. Right now. Right now. Yeah, I have to go see.
Starting point is 00:52:09 So my mom isn't, I just went to the hospital. Okay. Because the internet got her to think that I'm crazy. She had like a mental thing. Ah, fuck. So I'm flying home tomorrow to see my mom better know I'm good, gathering my things. Once that's done, I'm traveling out the country. I'm going to spend the next month meditating, going to different places, India, wherever I want to go.
Starting point is 00:52:29 I'm just going to live life. And on August 24th with no tweet announcement, no video announcement, no hype, no No one knowing if it's going to happen. I'm going to walk out on stage on Jay Cole's biggest night, sold out arena, KOD tour. I'm going to be barefoot. My dog, Dollar, the dollar to my dream, who's covering up the tattoo that used to say, Dollar in a Dream. But it's so strong, my love for Cole, and even after 10 laser removal sessions, you still
Starting point is 00:52:57 see the red under it. My dog Dollar is going to be on my shirt. I'm going to walk out on that stage, and all I'm going to say is this. My name is Yusuf Salah al-a-God, and on July 15th, I had a dream. Everyone welcomed Jermaine Cole. I'm going to walk off that stage. I'm not going to post an Instagram picture about it. I'm not going to tweet about it.
Starting point is 00:53:18 I write then and there did everything I intended to do in that one moment because that's going to cause such a catastrophic, like, a thing that every person in that arena is going to record it, post it, talk about it. You think because for fucking, And they've all they've been saying is like, oh, this guy's this. You think you even to show them.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Because they haven't seen it yet. Yeah. Think about this. If my event didn't get shut down with a bomb threat, right? And all the artists I announced came out on stage, including Drake. Do you think they'd still be calling me crazy or would they be celebrating it because I showed them that I did it? You can't hate on somebody who failed at something they tried at because they're trying. And if you're not trying for something in life, you might as well be dying. because you're not alive.
Starting point is 00:54:05 I didn't feel. I don't see you. I'm going to be on the Staples Center. God just is giving me a different path to get there. You think I'm stupid enough to say I'm going to move out the country for the rest of my life if I didn't believe that God saved Jake Cole, my inspiration? The only problem is the reason I never met Jay Cole face-to-face as not a fan but a real person is because I put Jay Cole's face on my vision board and prayed to a board.
Starting point is 00:54:30 It wasn't until I started praying to God that I understood that that, the key that's going to unlock all my desires, my life, and put me at the top as one of the world's most famous motivational speakers is because he's going to grant me that through J. Cole. And once I learned how to turn to God to ask for that favor, he presented it for me. All I had to do, I was sitting down. I go, babe, we got to go to the J. Cole concert. I go, what day is it? She tells me instantly. God whispered into my head and said, you're going to be on stage that night make it happen i announced it to my team yesterday i announced it on keem star today i go to i'm walking around melrose barefoot i go into this random store to cop jerseys all of a sudden
Starting point is 00:55:16 we cause a massive mob we attracting energy keem star ended up being attracted to us he was like what the hell it was just shopping and i came here i know why he got attracted there because energy guess who i meet i tell my story i announce it to everybody there because i'm not scared this kid comes up to me after he goes yo you see if you were talking I didn't want to interrupt you want to show you this tattoo it says inshallah and in Islam
Starting point is 00:55:41 in Shah Allah in Arabic means God willing and then he goes I don't know how to tell you this but I work with so and so this artist under J. Cole's label he pulls out his phone shows me pictures
Starting point is 00:55:53 he has numbers of every single person on Dreamville I don't ask him for anything I just smile at him I shake his hand knowing that God is doing what he does. That's God's positioning system that show Luciano taught me
Starting point is 00:56:08 this guy is not going to help activate that dream as long as I keep walking in this faith. I don't even have to wait to know am I going to be on stage. God already gave me that answer. I have no fear in it. Let me ask you a question. Do you think it's enough just to believe
Starting point is 00:56:21 and not do work? No. So all these things happening, right? What do you do to get to that point that you want to be at? I've worked since 2011. I put Jay Cole as my vision board in 2011. When I'm on Ustream with 10 viewers,
Starting point is 00:56:37 living in my mom and dad's house, I'm telling everybody, I'm rapping to Jay Cole's the warm-up, before he even released Friday night lights, and I'm saying, one day I'm going to meet this cat. Next thing you know, I win concerts to meet him. I tell people I'm going to be in Hollywood movies. I'm in Tyler Perry's movies.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I say I'm going to buy my mom a house. I buy her too. I buy myself a Ferrari. I buy myself a Rangerover. I've worked so much, and I've done that without God yesterday on the beach I laughed with God and I was like bro
Starting point is 00:57:04 I didn't even believe in you at the time I didn't even trust in you and you put me in Tyler Perry movies and I'm not even a good actor and I had that laugh with him so now I've worked enough now it's time to just put faith in God you can't say I want to get an A on a test and not study your ass off for it
Starting point is 00:57:22 but with that faith and belief and not by constantly telling yourself I'm going to fail I'm going to fail I'm going to fail I'm going to fail I'm going to fail. If you tell yourself you're going to fail, my brother, you're going to fail. I believe in that. If you happen to get an A, you're lucky. I'm asking, do you think you can just believe that something's going to happen and it's going to happen? It's done. But so you think you could sit in this room. Like, imagine this. They just want to give you theoretical idea. And your answer, like, is going to get a lot of people. My answer is going to get a lot of people
Starting point is 00:57:47 mad watching, but ask you. You think you could sit in this room until that date and it's still going to happen? 100%. How? Because if you use your thoughts, thoughts are things thoughts are powerful if I tell myself I'm fat I'm fat I'm fat just like in the gym I ain't gonna lose weight
Starting point is 00:58:06 no matter how much I try but if I go into the gym and I start seeing gains and I start telling myself Yeah but that's you doing work I've already done the work now So thoughts look look And there's another thing
Starting point is 00:58:16 Okay And I didn't want to have to give you All the keys Brad I was trying to be in this key I need this key bro My bad dog I want you to explain this one you're going to understand right after this.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Brad, you couldn't just let me be sly. Let's just go, bro. While I'm sitting there meditating and just attracting it to myself because I have to see the vision myself, every person I've told my vision to who believes in it is going to be working behind the scenes making it happen without having me wrift a finger.
Starting point is 00:58:47 The number one rule for success is not doing it by yourself. It's creating a mega, mind of people together who believe in your thoughts just as much to help you activate it. So right now I already told my team how our infrastructure works. They're helping me with this while I'm meditating and I have full faith in them, right? God's not going to not give them the answers. The answers are going to come to every single one of them.
Starting point is 00:59:13 But as soon as that's done, when we set up my production studio, every single one of them is going to have their own office with a whiteboard. And we spend a couple of hours each day formulating that plan. All of our mega minds can believe in it and attract it to us. Every single person I'm saying this to who's listening right now, whether they agree with me or not, are going to put energy into the thought of FUSI being on that stage. On its own, it's attracting energy.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Because you said it. The more people who are going to put power into it. But if I never said it and I never believed in it, how would I have ever gotten it? But then what about the opposite of people who don't believe that you can do it? I'm not on my phone. Yeah. I'm not on social media.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Why, I won't know about this. But I got to challenge you, though. If you're talking about energy and people believing it from afar that you don't know, they're believing it. By the same token, there's still all the haters, all the people who say you can't do it, who are still there doing it, whether you see it or not. The book, The Secret, talks about that. Okay. And it says that people always used to ask her, Rhonda, who wrote The Secret.
Starting point is 01:00:15 She said, people always asked her, um, sorry, I need water. I should have been drinking some more water. People always asked her. Fuck. Even when I have a good thought and I'm on a right track, negative thoughts keep creeping back into my head. Negative thoughts don't have as much power as powerful thoughts unless you allow them to. So that power of belief, that power between my friends,
Starting point is 01:00:40 that power that I already know, I would not have said this claim if I didn't already saw it, see it happen. The best way I'm going to answer this, Bradley Martin, walks up to Fusi II at a celebrity basketball game. Bradley Martin's working as a football. Bradley Martin walks up as a security guard. But by him saying, whoever you were, protecting your boys, you know, like you're the big-ass guy, I thought you were a security guard.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Bradley Martin looks at me and goes, yo, you want to lose weight, I want to do YouTube, let's work, right? That belief in asking me that, Bradley Martin was able to revolutionize the fitness game. Bradley Martin was able to tell his mom, I'm going to open up a gym. He told me this years ago. Bradley Martin was able to create one of the biggest BM fit brands, now zoo culture. Bradley Martin now has celebrities like Kevin Hart and everybody coming into his gym. If Bradley Martin had announced his dream to the world before Bradley Martin met me and posted it on YouTube and said, one day I'm going to meet Fusi too, one day it's going to start this.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Eventually I'm going to have this. Everyone would have called him crazy, but he's still. still would have done it because he just did it you manifested yourself into this gym subconsciously you thought of every single crevice of this gym look how dope this room is look how sick that gym is that shit was manifested through your subconscious and you had people who you told who believed in it yeah who helped you achieve it and I don't I don't disagree with you at all that one fucking bit yeah that's facts that's all facts that's all facts but my only thing that I'm trying to think about is it but I know along
Starting point is 01:02:16 the way I did a fuck ton of work I did a fuck every single day I did something. So I 15th was my work. But that's why I challenge you to say if you sat here and did nothing, do you think it could still happen? 100%. How? There's more to do.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Let me show you. Well, you're not going to sit here in this room. I'm going to fly out the country and show myself meditating on a mountain. But there's work you're doing. There's other things that's going on. Conversations, like things that are happening to end up. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm trying to say.
Starting point is 01:02:41 But what I'm doing differently, like right now, what I'm not doing is posting a video every day on Instagram. Yo, J. Cole, put me on that stage. putting pressure on it, putting pressure on him saying yes, telling my fans to bug him. I'm taking the pressure off of that and saying, I'm gonna do work, but in private. What I'm gonna do after I prove this,
Starting point is 01:03:00 the second I do this, I'm still gonna go away, right? You know, I said if I don't do it, I'm going away, I'm still gonna go away, but here's the difference. I'm gonna go away and make all my moves in silence. I'm gonna be in movies, I'm gonna be on Ellen, I'm gonna be on Tonight Show, I'm gonna be doing a way, world tour. I'm going to be doing the biggest things in the world. And you're not going to
Starting point is 01:03:22 know where I am because I'm going to post a video. I'll be in the Bahamas. And all of a sudden the next day I'm at a red carpet for my movie premiere. I haven't even announced it. I'm just going to show people once I show them that one move of me coming out on stage for J. Cole. My talking is done. After I walk out on that stage and say July 15th, I had a dream, I'm going to listen to my friend, Bear DeGio, who has activated this in me. and I'm gonna stop explaining myself yeah no more interviews with people who don't believe only people who do believe yeah no more fighting negative energy no more having to justify myself to Twitter it's not about me and them anymore I just
Starting point is 01:04:03 release my stuff now and I don't even promote it watch you know why the same way Jay Cole does it it's gonna attract the energy it needs to attract yeah but if you force it and you posted on Twitter and Instagram you're attracting negative energy yeah the reason people want to attract them amount of energy is because the more energy the more views the more views the more subscribers the more clout the more clout the more money I know fuck that I know how today people came up to me at the store without even asking put a shirt on me put their shoe brand on me and took pictures I used to make a hundred and
Starting point is 01:04:37 fifty thousand dollars minimum for every 30 second brand integration I did in my videos just for saying this water is good 150,000 minimum Now, I'm doing it for free. For who? The people. You're doing what for free, though? Anything they want. My goal, my life, my mission, my statement is now to be a part of the people and help the world.
Starting point is 01:05:04 I'm giving up my entire life, my entire ego, my entire image on social media. When you see me now, you're going to see me on my friend's social medias. You're going to have to find me. If I posted the messages that I intend to post, like, for example, today, I reinstated my vows to my religion. If I had posted that on my Instagram, people, like, what am I trying to show there? People would have, because it came from me
Starting point is 01:05:28 and they don't believe in me, they would have hated on the message. So when Adam and Ahmed said, should we record this, I said, no, I need my intentions pure. I get back in the car, Adam comes up to me and goes, yo, we call him a chef with the priest, his friend, recorded it and air dropped it to me. He posted it. It went viral, so everybody loved the message.
Starting point is 01:05:53 It didn't have to come from me. I'm releasing ego and it having to feed me. That video going viral is now going to feed him. We're helping each other. I have video ideas now. Instead of me doing them, I give them to him. I give them to him. We're collaborating.
Starting point is 01:06:11 It's not going to make sense now, Brad. No, no, no. It's not that it's not making sense to me. I want you to know that. To the people, not you. Just in general. To them. They're not going to understand it because you can't understand something that hasn't been done yet.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Your vision, your consciousness is not going to be able to see what I see. But slowly but surely ask these guys, people are coming up to me on the street. A business owner. I'm not going to say his name today. A big guy in the game walked up to me today. Because I attracted him to me. He looks me in the eye. I don't bat an eye.
Starting point is 01:06:43 He smiles and he goes, yo, you got God's presence with you. I smile and I go thank you I love you because I know I do it's scary shit to say my mom was like freaking out she felt ill because she thinks I'm going crazy they're all going to call me crazy
Starting point is 01:06:59 until August 24th Staples Center Jay Cole I did it Brad you always saw me fight for my happiness but the problem was insanity is doing the same thing over and over so what did I used to do
Starting point is 01:07:14 go to YouTube go super hard crash and burn yeah take a break get back on medications and repeat that cycle once I gave up fortnight gave up playing just doing the same thing every day for a year gave up medications and now I'm finally trying a different approach I did it I cured my depression I cured my bipolar my skin is clear I look healthy I look happy I'm able to love I'm able to stare at you in the eye I'm not lost on my phone and social media. How many times are humans in a line for Starbucks?
Starting point is 01:07:48 And they have to pull out their phone just to make themselves feel not in this moment. I mean, you see that shit everywhere now. It doesn't matter what anyone's doing. Ask my friends what I do in the car now. I just hang my head out the window and I smile. I dance. I'm present. I give love everywhere I go.
Starting point is 01:08:02 You're positive. All I am is present now. I'm in the moment. Yeah, I mean, I will, I will, because I've known you for years, man. I will say you are, you, you're, it's different. And it's not a negative different Only sometimes was I like Yo, he's aggressive
Starting point is 01:08:18 It feels And that's why I have friends to check me Lily Singh Remember when you try to check me in the elevator And I checked your ass back Yeah He'd be like this And I was like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 01:08:28 He launched me Lily Singh reached out Just Rain reached out Humble the poet reached out Casey Nice I reached out Jesse Wellens reached out And they all checked me Because they cared
Starting point is 01:08:38 Yeah And all they said was Yo, we're not saying we don't agree with what you're doing. We love your message and your intention behind it. But it's how you're doing it. That's what I wanted to talk about today. I got friends teaching me that.
Starting point is 01:08:49 So all that's going to happen from here on now, so I got all this energy. And instead of sitting on it and harnessing it first and then announcing my event, I just did the event. Which now I get to sit back, meditate, relax, and learn how to use this power. Only going to get bigger, only going to get stronger. The dream's only going to get bigger. Because there's somebody watching this right now. who they might not understand it now, they might come back to this in three years
Starting point is 01:09:15 once they see everything that I've been saying come true, and they'll be like, damn, I get it now. Yeah. Well, I mean, like you said, man, about me and the idea of that, it's the same thing. It's the same thing. I didn't go out and tell everybody. I just kept it quiet to myself
Starting point is 01:09:31 because it was something I knew I wanted to do. Make moves in silence. There's nothing wrong with that. But sometimes you have to show yourself you're not scared to announce your dreams to the world. I agree. That's all it is. I agree.
Starting point is 01:09:41 I'm like, how can you, when I was talking to Kim yesterday, I was like, brother, stop trying to pin this at me being a failure, stop manipulating these kids thinking it's a TanaCon, stop that. For example, the guy who came up to me outside of Drake's club who said, I was born in L.A., I don't want to die in L.A. Put me on your stage. I didn't even hesitate. I said, brother, it's yours. Because I had a mission. I had to find Drake. I said, give me your number. He gave me his number. He looks at me in the eyes. He goes, brother, anything you need in life, I'm your brother for life, right? 30 minutes later. He sneaks in through the back,
Starting point is 01:10:12 because his friend opened the door, he calls me. Come on, I go up, I ended up turning back around, I turn around, he's already inside. He ended up seeing me through the smoking section, told me to go to the back, ended up getting me in. Walks me in, pulls over the curtain, goes there's NBA players here, Kylie Jenner's here, Drake's here,
Starting point is 01:10:30 let God lead the way, he walks out. I met Drake that night, I thanked him the next day. He was my opener for the show. Listen to this. I'm with Kim Star yesterday, and Kim Star goes, Hey, that opener you had lit poppy, his name is Michelle Luciano. He goes, that dude is like the crowd favorite. He's blowing up.
Starting point is 01:10:48 It's all anybody's talking about. I go, he's getting famous off this. He goes, yeah. I go, that's the person who got me into Drake. That's the person who told me he didn't want to die in L.A., so I put him on that stage. You're telling me now he's getting famous off that. How are you saying July 15th was a failure?
Starting point is 01:11:05 Yeah. You get it? I get it. But what about, what about saying Drake's saying he didn't meet you? Oh, look, I was talking to OVO Johnny the whole time, brothers with OVO Ryan, who I already explained the story so many times you'll hear it on my child soon. All I'm going to say is this. If Drake wasn't going to be there, right, he could say he wasn't supposed to, of course, Drake's the biggest guy, a kid tried to throw an event, it ended up bomb threat. Why the fuck would Drake attach his name to that, right?
Starting point is 01:11:35 But if Drake wasn't coming that night, let me ask you a question, and I was going to leave it for interpretation, don't you think OVO would have sued me by now? Don't you think me using his face and his likeness to promote an event would have got me in serious trouble? His team knew I was posting those pictures because I was texting it to them. His team knew every single thing I was saying while I was promoting it. Because as I would, before I tweeted, I would send it to them.
Starting point is 01:12:03 And all it said was seen. It wouldn't reply, it would just set the scene. If at any time, they would have been like, what the fuck are you doing? Do you want us to get your lawyers to come in, cease and desist you right now? They could have. Drake was coming that night.
Starting point is 01:12:16 A bomb threat stopped him from coming. That's not gonna stop him from coming on the second tour that I do in the third tour. My tour, hate dies, love arrives too, is gonna become a world tour. It's gonna be in France. It's gonna be in Africa. It's gonna be in Indonesia.
Starting point is 01:12:33 It's gonna be in New York. It's gonna be in Houston. going to be worldwide. Yeah. This is only the beginning. I tried something and it was a giant success and it only went bad because of a bomb threat. What's going to happen when I try the second time?
Starting point is 01:12:45 Only this time I take time and plan it. I did it, Brad. Yeah. I did it. Now you just got it now all the things you're saying now. Yeah. If you could prove it, then... That's it.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Why do you think I'm giving my friend Brad this interview? So in a month when it does happen, I can come back and do the follow up and explain to you how I did that. All of a sudden, More energy. But it wouldn't be sitting in a room all day. I just want to make that point. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:13:10 I mean? Like you wouldn't just be sitting in this room to get it done. You'd have to go do things, right? Of course. Okay. That's all I'm saying. Of course. But it's the power of thoughts.
Starting point is 01:13:19 I know. I totally agree with you, dude. Like when I read books like Napoleon, I listen to audio books every day. People don't realize I was never a prankster. That shit was so against my morals and everything. I was doing that shit because I put money in my pocket, put views out there. and I knew sometimes you have to play the game to change the game. The only reason I ever started faking pranks
Starting point is 01:13:40 is because when I wasn't doing it, but everyone around me was and they were blowing up, my boy came up to me, Kice, when he lived in my closet in L.A., and he said, bro, stop complaining about what they're doing, play the game, change the game, and then do whatever you want with that power. I played that game, I rode that horse. I blew up from 2 million to 8 million subscribers in about 6 months.
Starting point is 01:14:03 I don't have 10 million subscribers, I left that channel, I've been in two Tyler Prairie movies, I've done that, I played the game. Now I'm going to take all that power, re-harness it, re-stratage it, and do it for what I actually like doing. I'm not a daily vlogger anymore. I'm not a YouTuber anymore. I'm a motivational speaker. I'm a spiritual teacher. I'm living in my purpose now. People wanted me to change for years, and now that I'm changing, they're trying to do everything to make me stay the same, not you. you, the people. Yeah. Get it?
Starting point is 01:14:35 They wanted me to change. Stop being depressed. Stop being bipolar. Start doing this. Start doing this. And now I'm doing it. People are going to hate if you do. People are going to hate if you don't.
Starting point is 01:14:45 It's on you whether you listen or not. I just chose to stop listening to the noise. The only voices I listen to are my own and the conversations I have with God and the love I have surrounded myself with. Yeah. Every single person I've ever met in my life has led to this moment because we're all connected in this. From you and this podcast.
Starting point is 01:15:03 Right. to Keem hating me, to Andrew and his connections, to this being one of the greatest filmmakers and knowing people in the industry. Every single person has come back into my life that I've met at one point for this purpose. No mistakes happen. You just have to be patient and trust that life will give you
Starting point is 01:15:22 what you want as long as you stay patient, stay persevering, stay working hard, and don't ever listen to anything anyone's telling you. You have people who come to this gym, right? They come into this gym, out of shape, wanting to change. What do people like you do? You don't go up to them and do what people are doing to me. You fucking fat ass.
Starting point is 01:15:43 You ain't never changing. You a bitch. You're going to stay fat forever. No, of course not. And you know what? Because you believing in them and guiding them and helping them, all of a sudden, three months passed, and they did it. Because they visualized it and you help them believe.
Starting point is 01:15:59 I'm visualizing the same way people visualize that, but I'm visualizing what I want for my life. What are people doing? You fucking stupid. You crazy. You a liar. Drake wasn't coming. You should kill yourself.
Starting point is 01:16:12 Check yourself into a mental asylum. Imagine if instead of that, they said, we love you, we believe in you, you got this, you can do this, how can I help you? Yeah, I mean, it's just, it's not the way it works sometimes for people. And I don't think it's right.
Starting point is 01:16:28 And that's why it's time to change, it's hard because, this is why it's hard for me, right? understand i'm understanding on this earlier in it like just five minutes ago you were talking about um play the game before you change the game right play the game to change right but before you so and but you played the game you did the the fake preaches did all the bullshit stuff so it's hard because we sit here and we have this conversation and we can and you look out or you're looking out at the people and saying like the crazy all these things but it's if you look at it from a different perspective of like uh uh
Starting point is 01:17:02 Those people haven't gone far enough or, or, because everyone's on their own, like, path, right? You know, there's their own journey. They're at their own point where it's like they've learned so much at this point. But it took you going through faking pranks, whatever you want, all the bullshit before you're like, okay, this is what I want to do now. And it's hard because, like, the internet is just the internet. It's everyone at crazy different points in their life. So it's like, as much as like, you might sit here and be like, these people think you're crazy or they love you or whatever it is. it's so crazy because I'm just throwing this out there
Starting point is 01:17:33 is there's nothing wrong there's nothing right here but that's my point is there's nothing wrong and there's no right you know what I'm saying like is because you were in a certain situation where you thought to do this was right to get here and all the people who are like Keem and all these other people who are making videos
Starting point is 01:17:45 are talking about you to give views they're at a different point doing something different like is that because at one point you yourself did things that you maybe didn't think were 100% right but you did them to get to a point and all these people Kim or whatever people doing the drama
Starting point is 01:18:00 stuff or people talking to shit just to get views or doing the live stream stuff and they're slapping each other like we said earlier they're all along a different path and I think it's important for everyone listening to know that like I don't know I guess the thing that I want to drive home to people listening is like it's so hard because the internet now is so like it's right here boom and you're like you're exposed to what everyone is doing what everyone has what everyone doesn't have or what you don't have because everyone else has some other shit and you're so like consumed by it That it's like, it's easy to go, that guy's fucking crazy, that guy's this, or I don't have enough because that guy has more. And it's like it fucks up the whole people's people's path.
Starting point is 01:18:43 And it's, but I just want to point out, because you were at the same point there. What you're saying is beautiful, by the way. Because you were at the same point there. You were at a point where like you were using this shit and you knew it wasn't exactly from your heart. But now you got here. And it's like, but all those people who might be hating or talking or in disbelief because of where they're at in their life or what they, how. far they are along their journey or whatever it is it's it's i'm just looking at from like outside i'm trying to like really take myself out but it's crazy because i have the reason i'm smiling is
Starting point is 01:19:10 because i have the answer already there he's asking the most beautiful questions because he's thinking on the same frequency he's not disagreeing he's not anything no i'm just pointing out the world because that's what it is it's like you're asking the right questions that's why we're at the same frequency that's why the energy in this room is so calm and everyone's listening that's why the viewers are still listening because all you're doing is asking questions in high school in college in elementary school my teacher used to put in sixth grade a notepad on my table and they used to call me questions because every time I asked the question they would put a check mark I think throughout like
Starting point is 01:19:46 the year it would be like at a thousand because you got to ask questions instead of trying to explain why somebody's wrong do what Brad's doing and just ask the question I don't have questions I need about my religion answered so I went to the sheikh today and I said I have questions for you I have can I answer that advice yeah first off in terms of the path I took to get there yeah some people in life have to go through way worth path worse paths they have to so a homeless guy approached me the other day after I come out of a sleep deprivation tank I'm sitting with two girls whose energy
Starting point is 01:20:23 attracted me to them I'm talking to them about July 15 he sits down And he doesn't sit down, sorry, he asked for money, give him a 20, he goes, what? And I go, he goes, do you know how to get to Fairfax? I go, sit down. My Uber driver, who I hired on my payroll is coming right now, we'll give you a ride. He sits down. Start talking to him, start connecting into his energy, and he's listening, and then he pulls out a beer bottle. I look at him in the eye, and I go, I were to give you $100 right now in cash and still give you that ride.
Starting point is 01:20:56 Would you throw away that beer bottle? He paused and he was all right, ah, da-da-da, and I didn't force him. Just asked him that question. Let him sit with it and he said, yes, I would. He got that little bit of strength. He threw it away. I handed him $100 in cash. I'm looking at a homeless person now.
Starting point is 01:21:12 There was a family of five sitting behind and they listened to every word. This guy was beaten down by the world. This guy was hurt by the world. Life treated him like shit that put him in that position. And I told him, right now you're probably angry because you feel like the world doesn't care about you and you're right it doesn't but to get yourself out of this position I need you to have a conversation with God and accept that every single bad thing that happened in your life was supposed to happen to take you to this moment and when you can accept
Starting point is 01:21:51 that you are not a product of your environment you don't have to stick in your current situation you're happy and grateful for where you are, God will help you get out of it. So before you ask the world for help, have a relationship with God, thank him for where you're at and then start making change for yourself. I go, you're a champion, you're a leader.
Starting point is 01:22:14 You look so good. All you need is a haircut and a fresh cut. You're fly. You're sitting with us. You're laughing with us. We like your energy. You don't have to continue doing the same thing that life, the circumstanced life put you in for the rest of your life, as long as you choose
Starting point is 01:22:29 that, that's it not, that's not your life for the rest of your life. I pull out the girl's camera and I record him and I put the camera on him because I don't want to post it from my shit. I did, but I got it from her. And as soon as I put the camera on him, he goes, oh, I look terrible. I stare at him in the eye as the camera's on him and I go, say I am powerful. He goes, no. I said, say I am powerful. He goes, no. I said, say, say. I am powerful, he pauses. I see a grown man who's literally got beat down by life, struggling. And as the camera's coming off, he goes, I am powerful. The next second with the cameras off, he smiles and you feel it. I walk into CBS. I buy him a goody bag of a whole bunch of things.
Starting point is 01:23:13 I go and give it to him. I say, ladies, I have to get in this car right here. I'm going to order him a personal Uber, Uber, make sure he gets on his way, right? I do that. And the reason I said that story is because some people have to go to jail, some people have to get cut from the basketball team, some people have to reach the lowest of lows and able to embrace and get them ready for their highest of highs. What life does to you and what God does to you, it's not to set you back. It's not to backtrack you. It's to prepare you from where you need to go. Sometimes you might feel like you're ready for something and you're ready for that promotion and then all of a sudden somebody else gets promoted and you get pissed and you let that
Starting point is 01:23:56 sabotage yourself but if in that moment of defeat you can recognize hey it wasn't god's timing and you keep working with that same faith that next promotion maybe that next promotion happens isn't for the manager's job maybe it's for the CEO's job and you get that and you're able to think thank god you know how many times it hasn't worked in a relationship for me and I have found a better girl who fit me and I was like thank God it didn't work with that last girl I didn't stop trying to find a girl just because one broke my heart yeah I kept trying so life is about accepting your circumstances accepting the bullshit life has fed you yeah I could have stayed in my basement for the rest of my life playing fortnight smoking weed being angry being bitter
Starting point is 01:24:42 being resentful saying the world hates me and when I have kids it could have turned into a bad relationship with my wife it could have still been negative and I could have continued being people used to love me but then these people ruin my career or I could have got off my medications put my faith in God went to Australia to do my tour get an idea called July 15th try it cause that shock leave again come back August 24th and keep trying to fight for my life I don't disagree with anything I'm not I'm saying it's real they're hearing yeah absolutely they're hearing it you just got keep trying man because I can say it's like my I agree 100% like it's like my fucking life in a nutshell as well how many times have you tried to PR a deadlift it didn't work out are
Starting point is 01:25:29 you gonna sit there and be like fuck working out I'm never doing it again nah no you're gonna go fix yourself eat better sleep better if it matters enough that's what it is that's it so all these people who right now are trying to discredit me call me a failure it's like I'm not no longer once like I do this Jake Gold thing, by the way, am I going to waste another second of my life talking to these people who don't believe? I'm only going to send messages in my books
Starting point is 01:25:57 to believers of this message. Yeah, well, people got to be able to want to listen to it. Exactly. So right now I keep saying I'm talking to the people who don't believe. I hope they enjoy this attention now because as soon as August 24, that happens and I'm on that stage with Jake Cole, and then I'm on the Ellen show,
Starting point is 01:26:15 then the tonight show, then in a movie with Tyler Perry again, And then this, they'll never hear from me again. I'll never address a hater again. I'll prove myself. And I walk to walk. I talk to talk. I practice what I preach.
Starting point is 01:26:27 And I do this for myself and God and the love of those around me. Yeah. So, yeah. Oh, man, I do it. I'm in the point where, like, I want to see what happens. Exactly. And I'm not saying that I'm not saying at all. Like, I mean, after talking to you for like a good amount of time, like, I don't think you're crazy at all.
Starting point is 01:26:47 I thought things you did. I was like, oh, that's a little bit out there. But I mean, all in all, man, the things you're saying are not any different from what I believe as far as like achieving things. Not knowing how to say it. So Keemstar, we kept battling yesterday in the interview. It wasn't until he finally let go of trying to debunk what I'm saying, where he tried to understand what I was saying, where he realized, oh, I don't disagree with what he was saying. I just didn't understand what he was saying because of how he was saying and how he was doing.
Starting point is 01:27:17 it. So when I left that interview, asked my boys. We were hugging, giving each other daps, and McKean was like, I can't wait for August 24th. He believes now. So I'm going to leave it with this. This is my last line, and then I'm just going to do what I'm saying. Thank you so
Starting point is 01:27:33 much for this interview, first off. Thank you for coming, too. Congratulations to all your success. It's beautiful. We hope you stay in our lives forever after this. As a true brother, you come to our mansion parties and our compound with Drake performing it and everything. thing once we do this shit, but I want to leave it with this. This is not a thing to you.
Starting point is 01:27:52 This is to the people. I'm just talking to you. Of course, yeah. And this is for the people as well. They don't need to comment the answer to this. They just need to reflect on this. If I announced that I was going to be on stage with J. Cole on August 24th and I worked hard to try to get there, right? I did everything in my power. And August 24th comes and I didn't get on that stage. What does that say about me as a person? I can answer that. I don't want you to. I want them to answer that.
Starting point is 01:28:24 If I try for something and I don't get it right away, what does that say about me as a person? We got to shift the way people think. I feel like I need to fucking answer this because what it says about you is you're just a person. We're all fucking human. Like the reality is like it doesn't always work the first time. Let's say there was a guy trying to find the cure for cancer.
Starting point is 01:28:47 And he didn't find it the first time. Oh, fuck it, right? Do we cuss him out and be like, you bitch? We go, please try again. And imagine if God told us that he's the only one on earth who could find this cure, do you think people would allow him to give up? People would swarm his house with sticks saying,
Starting point is 01:29:04 keep going, keep trying, because you wouldn't want him to fail. We got to support everybody in life with that amount of support and love and watch the world change. Yeah, that mean the message is... We did it. Thanks to you in this internet. this interview is part of the success of July 15 because you were able to have a
Starting point is 01:29:22 conversation you were able to get it out you were able to allow us to spread this message collaboration love understanding friendship yeah that's what it's all about I brought everybody on stage on July 15 so I can stare at him on the stage in front of the world and be like we used to hate each other but brother I love you and I hope today we can hug it out and show the kids in the world that fuck hate hate died love arrived I was gonna call banks on stage give him his thanks. I was going to call rice gum on stage and be like rice for the culture I had to end this with you. I love you like my brother but my life went downhill when I was
Starting point is 01:29:57 supposed to release a disc track against you but I released one against myself and I got you to fake punch me and everything happened. I go but with you the only way you know how to communicate people is through like disc tracks. So as a joke for fun for the people I'm going to end all hate on YouTube, all hate in our communities, all hate of us dividing and not collaborating, and a song that created to celebrate rice gum. I was going to invite every YouTuber on stage. We would have had millions of viewers. Agencies would have been flipping out the next day, and each of us would have been
Starting point is 01:30:32 prime focus. Everybody would have got a call, hey, do you want to work with my brand? Do you want to work with my brand? And I was going to play the song for rice and be like, look, I love you, and I hope you start using your power for good. And instead of telling people why they should be stopped, you should tell people why they should keep going, but guide them. And I hope this song guides you to get there. This one's going to hurt, brother, but less rock.
Starting point is 01:30:53 And I wanted him dancing with me. The song was called Lil Chara. Like the artist's name is Lil Chara featuring Fusi. Lilchara means little shit in Arabic. I was just trolling. But I needed for the kids to understand and care enough and listen to the speech that I was going to give that night on July 15th to try to change the world, because that's going to be a heavy speech.
Starting point is 01:31:17 Never got to deliver it. To lighten that mood, I was going to do something for the culture and end it with a joke against rice gum. The song leaked at midnight the day before my event. My event got stopped before I got to do it. The conversation became, you did this whole event just to diss rice gum.
Starting point is 01:31:37 You can't judge what happened. You have to judge an intention. and you can't judge an intention until you understand the person's intention you can't understand the person's intention until you sit down and talk with that person or someone else doesn't you listen July 15th was supposed to happen that way
Starting point is 01:31:55 because it landed me here it landed me on the Keemstar thing and over the years people will get it I'm sitting through this little rain with an umbrella actually fuck the umbrella I'm standing in the rain knowing that as soon as it clears
Starting point is 01:32:09 and all that negativity and stuff clears and I do everything I'm saying, it's going to be the brightest sun anyone has ever seen. And I got a team rocking with me. We're not sitting in our rooms crying. We're partying. We're having fun. We're celebrating each other. We're going to the beach because we know let them hate. I deleted my social media. Fuck what they say. If I gave you my phone right now into Twitter, I promise you the first thousand tweets would be people telling me to kill myself. I swear to God, but I'm blocking it out of my life, not seeing it, only accepting love. Which is so crazy. like what the fuck that and like my father killed himself my father hung himself
Starting point is 01:32:45 to tell someone anyone listening like if you're that person who does that because you disagree or because you think someone is crazy you think someone is like out of line their perspective of your own like doesn't a match with yours you tell someone to kill themselves like you're a piece of shit straight up piece of shit don't give a fuck what is going on like that shit bothers me so much and we need people like you to give this message to the You. The problem is, and what this is going to cause, is just to us start using our powers. Look how powerful your name is.
Starting point is 01:33:18 By yourself, without help from Fusitube after I left, you created all this? So yes, we know Bradley Martin, we know his brand being fit, we know how strong you are. Now imagine this Brad, because this is about to awaken the giant with you, and I'm going to leave tonight knowing that this is about the cause of catastrophic thing in your life. Now imagine if all that intensity that you have towards the success of your gym, your brand, your muscles and everything, you start using to use your voice to help the people who watch you. And you already do this.
Starting point is 01:33:50 I've seen videos. Live a happier life, achieve their dreams. And if every other influencer does the same, imagine how much not only YouTube would change, but the world would change. All I'm asking everyone to do is to start recognizing how they're using. their power rice gum called me irrelevant on the internet he's my boy what he didn't understand is one look at what I've accomplished the paves that I've you know paved the past the past that I've opened but one I come and go as
Starting point is 01:34:22 I choose I choose whether I'm irrelevant or relevant it's not on the people and the reason I chose to be irrelevant for a year is because I wasn't strong enough to handle the power that comes with relevancy because you can be relevant to 2018 by going and hanging your dick out at McDonald's and shaking it and spitting in people's food for all the wrong reasons. That don't make you powerful, that don't make you successful. You're just using your power wrong to garner attention. But if we use our power for good, then my relevancy then becomes important.
Starting point is 01:34:56 The reason I no longer have to show my face on Instagram anymore or Twitter anymore or anything is because now I only speak when I have something to say. I only do something when I've already done it, and I'm ready to introduce it to the world. I do all my shit in silence. People are going to listen. People are going to care. And it's all done behind the scenes. I love you.
Starting point is 01:35:18 Thank you for this. I love you too, man. And I hope everyone gives this. I hope. Can I just say something? Yeah, go, okay. I hope. What channel are you posting this on?
Starting point is 01:35:25 I'll post like a cut-up of this on my main channel, but it's going to be on CultureCast. Can I post this also on Fusitube and link it to yours? And in the beginning, be like, here's the links in the description. Yeah, you can do whatever. you want. I hope this is your most viewed interview ever, not because of me, but just because of the conversation, what happened here, I truly believe it has the power to help a lot of people. I hope this is your most viewed one. I hope it's your most liked video. And I hope, and if it doesn't happen now, because one time I told everyone in my life at the time, I'm going to release a video
Starting point is 01:35:59 called Spider-Man in real-life prank and it's going to break 100 million views. I released that video you got two million views in a week a bunch of people on the internet started telling me ha ha ha you suck a you a bitch within six months the video jumped to 42 million views another four months 82 million views that video now has i think close to 200 million views i manifested it but i just had to wait for it to happen so eventually this video the video is on posting all this shit it's going to catch up just because it didn't happen immediately yeah doesn't mean it's not it doesn't always happen on our time that's the thing I said I understand it exactly for sure we could we I know you
Starting point is 01:36:43 do that's why I'm laughing because you're like this motherfucker because you always used to tell me you said you're strong your powerful why are you not you know and now I'm sitting here smiling at you because I know you understand now as your friend he's not crazy he's not he knows what he's doing and I'm just now as a friend gonna help him get there. If I need to check him through a text, if I need to remind him of his path, if I need to step in and be like Yusuf, I do this with love. You're doing something you shouldn't be doing. You're going to help me get there now. You got that with me always, bro. Always. Always. You see? He gets it. This is the best interviewer we have about this.
Starting point is 01:37:21 Thank you, brother. Oh, my. Thank you. This was special, man. Very. And I am barefoot to everybody wondering. Dead ass. I walk around with no shoes now. Can you barefoot, let's see? I walk around with those shoes now. I got over 100 pairs of Jordans. I'm ready to give them all the way to the world. Man, that's what's up.
