Breakfast club morning everybody is DJ envy just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes indeed. King R.B. Ladies and gentlemen.

Jack Quace. Yes sir. What's up brother. What's up. How you feeling? Feeling good man. Slow motion. Congratulations on the baby.

Thank you. Just life in general, man. Yeah, yeah. Y'all was gonna say you're doing a lot. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot going in my world, man, but I'm feeling good. I'm blessed. I can handle it.

And the name of the album is Baby Making. Yeah, it's called Baby Making. So what's all about that night? Exactly. My first number one album, for real. Not on Billboard, but on Apple Music. Feel good to have that, you know what I'm saying? Get a little accomplishment under my belt.

What is baby making music to you? To me, baby making music is just like, you know, music that make you wanna feel like you wanna have a baby. Like, you know, it's basically like a sex playlist. I feel like this album is basically like what people create when they put all their music together for a sex playlist. I feel like this album is basically like what people create when they put all their music together for the sex playlist.

I feel like baby making is that you don't have to go put a bunch of songs together. You could just really just play this album through and it's just to get you where you need to go. Did you have one before you made your own? Like when you were just on the come up, what was your sex playlist? I would always play my music. I honestly, that's how I used to know if it was hard or not. Yeah, I used to.

Pause, pause, pause. Pause, pause, pause. What the hell? I don't know, I'm not the music. Pause, pause, pause. That's how I know if the music hard. I was doing that shit since high school. I used to make mix tapes and I used to,

if you feel me, have girls in the spot or whatever, and then I would do whatever we doing, but I would have the music on. That's when I know that, oh, this shit really hard, or it's and then I would do whatever we're doing, but I would have the music on. That's when I know like, oh, this shit really hard, or it's not. So if the woman not into it, you blame it on the music?

Yeah, I'll be like, the music ain't it. Man, it's probably was you. No, no, cause music can make you do stuff without even, you know you gotta think, when you play music in the spot, either the girl gonna get up, start dancing, she gonna feel on you, she gonna, music make them do something different. Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I used to just be like, cause I know. She gonna feel on you. She gonna, music make them do something different.

You know what I'm saying? So I used to just be like, cause I know I'ma be on point. You know, I'm him. So you feel me. So it's like the music was always just an extra. But like I say, when I was young, I remember like my first mixtape.

I remember playing it, you know what I'm saying? And I remember girls, you know, being with me, whatever. I remember being like in 20s and making music and just being like, okay, this sound like a sex song. And I know now, from where I'm at with it now, just I know what this do for me and mine. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I know it's what it is,

it is what it need to be. That's the first time I heard that, because most of the time you hear people say, I got this shit in the script club, I played in the script club, or the club before a DJ. Yeah, that's how we DJ. It makes sense. That's how we know. You know, it's like a tester, you know what I'm saying?

I still do that to this day, go to the club, play a record. If don't nobody move, you like, this might not be it. But if they moving. But it's difficult for R&B sometimes though, depending on the mood, though. Facts, facts.

You gotta go to certain spots where they playing at. You know what I'm saying? If you go to certain R&B spots where they playing at, and you put it on, and it's like, okay, they rocking with it. But you know, if you go to some R&B spots where they plan it and you put it on and it's like okay they rocking with it but you know if you want to all rap club and you put on some R&B of course it's probably be hard to move them because that ain't what they in there for you know I'm saying so I don't kind of figure that part out yeah that's how you said you 30 now yeah I'll be 31 next year yeah congratulations on your engagement thank

you and this is the you are entering Well, you already answered the fourth decade of your life, right? So wow. Yeah. Yeah, I know that how I go No third third decade. No, it's not so one to ten. That's one ten to twenty. I was in teens twenty to thirty Three so that's three now. Yeah Make sure I three decades are we done walk You're entering your fourth decade of life. Talk that talk, Joseph. You already know what's up with me. So when did you know it was time?

When did you decide? Like, was it because you're 30 now? I think I'm just going with God in the motion. You know what I'm saying? Honestly, that's honestly my answer. Like, you know what I'm saying? I had a bunch of different answers, but now just waking up today and just seeing, like, you know, just everything. Like, you know, I'm saying? I had a bunch of different answers, but now just waking up today and just seeing,

like, you know, just everything. Like, you know, I just think, like, I'm just going with what God say. You know what I'm saying? Like, I think, I know with men, like, it's always like a time, cause I know Envy, you married, right? Yes, sir.

Yeah, cause I remember being on the road with you. Like, you act like a married guy. You know what I'm saying? It's dope though. We knew this. We went on a tour together with real Micahs. You know what I'm saying? It's dope though. You know what? We went on a tour together with real mic'ers. You know what I'm saying? But Indy J's handle this business,

get on the stage, get off and just do what he do. You know what I'm saying? I remember watching it. You know what I'm saying? Like dang, Robruss still cool. You know what I'm saying? OG gotta tell you the rest of the story. I don't see, I don't know the whole thing.

If you in your fourth decade according to Jeff Mapp, then Indy in his sixth. Yeah. So what happened on the fourth? No, tell them about the second and third decade. The third decade, second and third. Third decade. Yeah, but he was with me, though.

He was with me. I wasn't even never with him. Yes, he was with me. Don't you start that. But I mean, I was just using Bruv, for example, because I had started seeing different dudes in the game. I'm like, OK, Bruv Merrick, Bruv Merrick, Bruv Merrick, Bruv Merrick, different things. And I just in the game, I'm like, okay, bro merit, bro merit, bro merit, bro merit, different things.

And I just think for me, I had already, I've already had a couple experiences with women and different things like that. So I think for me, it's like, okay, I'm not missing nothing on that side. You know, she make me feel good, you know what I'm saying? So I be like, how I live my life is, I don't wanna have no regrets in my life.

You know what I'm saying? I wanna do everything that I know I'm supposed to be doing. Like I know marriage is a part of life, you know, so I don't want to keep guessing like, okay, she gonna be the one, she gonna be the one. I'm just taking a chance. Like I said, I'm just going with God. I think she's it. She make me feel whole.

Yeah, you know what I'm saying? She made me want to be better than I was before. But I am. Are you talking like this in the album? You singing like this? I'm talking about, yeah, a little bit, Sunrise Service, a little bit. But you know, it's pretty much, yeah, you gonna love the album though,

cause it's, it feels like, like what we talked about in the beginning, honestly, it just feels like, it don't feel like a sex place, it just feel like good music. That'll make you wanna like do whatever it is that you're trying to do. I think it's just a feel good album.

Well, I do wanna salute you for learning early, which so many of us men learned late man. Yeah for sure. You got a good woman act like it. Yeah, yeah. And I promise you the way you gonna see your life just prosper in ways you can't even imagine when you like really pour into a good woman

and a good woman is pouring into you. I've been seeing it bro, like my whole life been different. You know what I'm saying? Like my whole year have been different. You know what I'm saying? Like my whole year been different. You know what I'm saying? Like I just really been acknowledging it and seeing it like, okay, this is what they be talking about when it's like this.

And then it's just, it's a blessing, honestly. You know, it's a blessing when a good woman come into your life. And then, you know, you also have to make adjustments when a good woman come into your life too, because it's like it wake up everybody else. You know what I'm saying? And your family, you know what I'm saying? And it wake up everybody else, you know what I'm saying, in your family. You know what I'm saying, and that could be difficult too.

You know what I'm saying, like, you know what I'm saying, that could be difficult when your family used to operate in a certain way then this person come in and it's like, you happy, but it's still like something that's just don't be all the way there. I think that's the phase that I'm going through now. Like, you know, it's just like trying to have the whole family dynamic as one. You know what I'm saying, I think that's the phase that I'm going through now. Like, you know, it's just like trying to have

the whole family dynamic as one. You know what I'm saying? I think that's tough too. Well, your family is also changing now because you got your woman, you got your child. Exactly, and I'm going from being the head of that home to the head of this one. That's right.

And you know that's different when you lead the next a little bit. You know what I'm saying? It's like, it's just a little different. So I think that's kind of like the biggest thing, the most difficult thing that I'm dealing with now. Any pressure though? Cause you can't show her something

that she hasn't seen already as far as. You mean any pressure as far as what? As being, you know, her daddy rich man. Her daddy got bread, her family got bread. Oh yeah, yeah, no. I think when it come like that, bro, the only way I could feel less than is if she ever made me feel less than.

You know what I'm saying? I'm the type of dude where I don't care what you got. You know what I'm saying? Because I'm a hustler. You know what I'm saying? I'm naturally a hustler. I'm from that. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like, I get inspired when people got more than me. Especially if you cool. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna really ask you how to do it. That's just how I am. I'm not one of them, I'm not gonna be guessing. Charlamagne got something going on like bra you do that if it might be to be nice You know saying so it's like with me. She don't make me feel like I'm less than them You know I'm saying like so it's like I don't feel like that

But if I ever did feel like that I don't think I'll be speaking as highly of her as I as I am how did you meet we met through Patman Jones? You feel me? Pac-Man Jones, that's like my big brother. He had, he called me one day, he FaceTimed me in like 2021. And he was in Jamaica with DeAndre and her family. They've been tight, DeAndre Sanders like his godpops or whatever.

You know what I'm saying? So, you know, but I just told myself like, man, I wanna smile, talk about my kid, I don't wanna have no fucked up attitude. You know what I'm saying? But I just told myself, man, I gotta keep pushing. You feel me? Even on the days when I don't wanna push. I barely even feel like this. You dig what I'm saying? But when I do, I'm just like, man, I think about my son. I'm like, man, I gotta just keep going on.

I saw you sit down with our family, Nailah Simone, and you were talking about your fiancee, and you said she helped play a role, and you getting sober? Yeah, hell yeah, for sure. I ain't even drunk no liquor since March 13th. You know what I'm saying? I was a real drinker, you feel me?

Just like, you know, a person that just would drink, it had become a part of my lifestyle. You know what I'm saying? And when it become a part of your lifestyle, it's like you don't even notice when you slumping. People have to tell you, you know what I'm saying? But then I start just getting terrible, you know what I'm saying? And when it become part of your lifestyle, it's like you don't even notice when you slumping. People have to tell you, you know what I'm saying? But then I start like just getting terrible, you know what I'm saying?

Just getting terrible, like not being Jacquees that people knew me to be, because people would meet me and be like, damn, I mess with Jacquees, like, you know what I'm saying? But then, you know, I would have like some type of little stain on my name for something that had something to do with alcohol. You know what I mean?

And then it would just like give people a reason to judge me. You know what I'm saying? It's like, I'm one of them people where it's like, I ain't got no nothing, but it's like, oh, I gave them a reason with alcohol. So I had to clean myself up. And she really helped me. I got back in church and just started doing everything

that I needed to do. You know what I'm saying? And now I feel like going in the direction that I need to be. You know what I'm saying? And now I feel like, you know, I'm going in the direction that I need to be. You know what I'm saying? I just had my first number one album, like I said, it wasn't Billboard, but it was still letting me know, okay, this is what you can be doing.

You know what I'm saying? I'm getting a taste of it, you know what I'm saying? I know God always give you a little bit before you get a lot. So I'm like, okay, you feel me? Boom, even on certain things in my career, like you know what I'm saying? I know, okay, I probably have the wrong people around me. You feel what I'm saying?

Like even with certain things, I make a lot of money, but I ain't made the most money I could make. You know what I'm saying? Probably like God probably like, okay you probably got some people around you that don't need, because I'm a giver. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like, you know it's a lot of things that have been like cleaned up in my life, but I'm like slow rolling and I'm knowing like, okay I know what's coming on the other side. You feel me? So it keep me motivated. Like it was a time where I couldn't even see my future. You feel me? Like I would be in places, but I can't even tell you like what I'm gonna do.

And like people ask you like, what you see yourself in five years? I couldn't even tell you what I'm gonna be doing next week. Cause of the alcohol? I just was blind. Like I just had got cloudy. You feel me? I had just got like on some rebellious shit like on some just like fuck it You know man like I won where I want to be in my career

Personally shit wasn't going right. I just was like fuck it. You know, you know when you get in the bag You'd like fuck it like fucking like fuck it. We'll do some shows we get some money. Fuck it Like, you know, we're I had lost my whole thing. I was looking back at pictures I'm like damn I have my shirt off nigga. My stomach was hanging over my pants. Damn, who was that Jaquees out? This was last year when I went on tour with Tink. Oh. I was like, damn, but then I ended up losing 30 pounds.

You feel me? I got in the gym. I changed the way I ate. You feel me? I changed everything, you feel me? Because I owe it to myself. You feel me? I was like, bro, if I don't make it to where the fuck

I need to make it to, I can't even blame niggas. Like I can't be like, oh, Birdman, I can't say that. You feel what I'm saying? I would have to say like, man, cool, you fucked that up. So when I, yeah. What did she say to you though, that got you on the right track? Was it just she checked you or did she say,

I mean, honestly. You can't even see your dick when you look down. Oh my God. No, my shit, it wasn't no fat shit. This guy was crazy. She was on me, I think like I was just really like I was really just like doing the same. No, I went no fashion Doing I was really just doing dumb shit. Mm-hmm. Like where I would go outside

Pocket full of money come back. No money. Mm-hmm. You feel me? Like we hate that like you know saying I bet no money. You feel me? Like, you know what I'm saying? Or I got down, or I go outside, I ain't coming back, she gotta come find me. You know what I'm saying? Like, shit like that.

Like, you know, and she will find me. You sure that was just alcohol, bro? That sounded like crack activity, man. No, no, that was, nah, I ain't never, I ain't never did no crack, ain't never played with my nose, ain't never popped no pill, I ain't never did none.

I was just always a drinker and a functional weed smoker. But you know, I just different, like certain things could take me and you two different places. It could be the same substance, you know what I'm saying? But I just feel like once she started coming down, and I seen how much I was hurting her, and then she was pregnant, honestly.

You know what I'm saying? Like when she was pregnant, and then like what she was three months into the pregnancy You know cuz we were going through it in the beginning of the pregnancy You know saying and so I was really on some shit like I was come like it was a bunch of shit going on I didn't know she was gonna keep the baby. I didn't know like what was going on. I was just on my fuck it right Yeah, and so had y'all planned to your baby? Nah, nah, I mean we had talked about it. You know, I had told her like, man, I want to have kids and I was real adamant about it.

You know, if a man said they want kids, you know, we got the power to do it if you guys not on no pills. So I was telling her, hey, I want to have a baby and we was constantly doing what we do and I'm like, I want to have a baby, I want to have a baby and it happened. But she just, she just, like I said, she pulled up to Atlantic station one day, her and my cousin, I remember I was skinted up, I had just got off somebody dirt bike, like I said, she pulled up to Atlantic Station one day, her and my cousin. I remember I was skinted up. I had just got off somebody dirt bike, but I had failed and I didn't want to tell her. You know what I'm saying?

I remember I was scratched up, my hands, my body, everything was fucked up. I was just, it was just bad. You know what I'm saying? If somebody would have seen me, they would have been like, if y'all would have pulled up, y'all would have been like, man, go get him. You probably would have told them, like, go get him. Like, I don't give a fuck what you gotta do. You gotta slam a nigga on the ground, whatever,

go get that nigga. You know what I'm saying? He can't be out here like this. You know what I'm saying? It was like that. And then, what was bad was my niggas was around me. So that's when I started realizing, like, oh, I ain't got the right niggas around me.

Cause my cousin was telling me, like, cause he came with her and he was telling me, like, boy, these niggas will get you robbed. Like, these niggas will get you, like, killed. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, in the city we from, like, bro, you niggas will get you like killed. Like you know what I'm saying?

Like you feel me? Cause now your days you seeing all this shit the same. You know what I'm saying? Like nigga, you waking up and it's the same shit. Like you about to go out the door. I was getting in trouble with the law and all type of shit. You feel me? So I'm like, what do I wanna do, bro?

I just started like pulling in that inner shit. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, you know. That's God though, you know? Because God will show you, so many people can't see themselves.

You know what I'm saying? I was always like, damn.

Like, bro, I remember one time I totaled, listen, I told her my sister car, bro. I came in the house and tried to act like nothing happened.

I'm thinking like how the fuck I'm gonna tell her the car total, you know what I'm saying? But I'm knowing my big sister, I could tell her over my mama, you know what I'm saying? But I'm like, how the fuck? This is when you was Jacquees, Jacquees. Yeah, this is like three years ago. Oh, you coulda bought another car then.

She wouldn't be that bad. Yeah, but at the end of the day, you gotta think like I'm hood rich, you knowa bought another car then. She wouldn't be that bad. Yeah, but at the end of the day, you gotta think, like, I'm hood rich. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I ain't just Chris Brown rich. I'm hood rich. So it's like, I'm a hood rich nigga. I might be rich till they broke tomorrow.

You dig what I'm saying? I'ma have 500 today, nothing tomorrow. I'm that type of nigga. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'ma get further, but that's how my life is. So it's like, nigga, we couldn't get another car. You dig what I'm saying? Like, I'm gonna get further, but that's how my life is. So it's like, nigga, we couldn't get another car. You dig what I'm saying, nigga? I might get a rental, but you can't come out the pocket

and go get it. We can't go get it till I go get it. You dig what I'm saying? So that's us, bro. But when I realized, like, and that had me fucked up too. You know what I'm saying? Cause I was like, damn, like, I'm quee, like, how the fuck? Cause I make a lot of money, but that's when I knew

I was blowing a lot of money. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, bro, I'm quee, like, how the fuck? Cause I make a lot of money, but that's when I knew I was blowing a lot of money. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, bro, I'm trippin'. Like, I'm out here bad, like bad. Strip clubs. Bro, I would go in the strip club and spin a check. Like, them pictures you would see me on the internet with on the strip club, that wasn't no cap.

Like, when you see me with like seven, 10,000. Some niggas take them pictures, just take pictures and be like, okay, go get the money back. We really out there doing that shit. We went so heavy balling, nigga, to the point where we still balling, but I look back on a lot of shit, I be like, bruh, I never did that.

You feel me? I be like, bruh, I never did that. But that's the growth, and like you said, she helped you be much more helpful with a lot of things. And now I know the type of things that I got on the table. Now, I'm like, bruh, I would've never been able to have this if I was in the same space I was in.

You know what I'm saying? There's no way I could control this type of shit if I was in the same space I'm in. No way I could have artists. No way I could have this much money. Like, no way I could do this. So your woman helped you see your value. Yeah, she helped me see my value.

She really helped me, like, get back to who I was, and I really appreciate her for that. You know what I'm saying? And I know, like Charlamagne said, but it was all God, you know what I'm saying? He was just I really appreciate her for that You know I'm saying and I know like Charlamagne said but it was all God You know I'm saying he was just using her like you know I'm saying to to do that for me I'm saying how does she get she got through a lot like you go jail all of that Yeah, how did she get past the situation with your ex? With with Dries how she get past that? I don't know. I think it was a maturity thing

for the whole circle. You know what I'm saying? I think for the whole circle, like I don't got no ill will with Dries no matter what. You know what I'm saying? Because me as a dude, like with anybody, I'm not holding no grudges with you. You know what I'm saying?

I can't even live like that. You feel what I'm saying? I can't do that. But I think we all just matured overall, everybody. You know what I'm saying? I can't do that. But I think we all just mature overall, everybody. You know what I'm saying? I think that a lot of my decisions was the cause of a lot of things, you know what I'm saying? So I took full accountability.

You know what I'm saying? I think when a man take full accountability, when a person really believe in you, it's like if they love you, that gives them a chance. You know, everybody ain't perfect, you know what I'm saying? And I damn sure wasn't perfect, you know what I'm saying? Like I was always a have my cake and eat it too nigga. You know what I'm saying? Like most niggas be before we get caught. You know what I'm saying? And I damn sure wasn't perfect, you know what I'm saying? Like I was always a have my cake and eat it too nigga. You know what I'm saying?

Like most niggas be before we get caught, you know what I'm saying? And that was just me. And I just- Second decade. Yeah, yeah, and I just- Second decade. I just feel like it's a maturity thing for everybody.

I feel like Dree's happy for me now. I hope she is. You know, whatever she got going on, I'm happy for her. You know what I'm saying? Me and Deandre, we in love. And this is just my new, this the path I'm on. You feel like with all the shenanigans that Jess just talked about is the reason why

you don't get the respect I think that you should in R&B music-wise, because we were on tour and you got a lot of records, but I don't think people understand how they affect and hit people until they see that in front of 20,000 people, because I didn't even know. Of course, you know the big songs, but then when you sitting there and you're doing album cuts and people are into it.

And it's like, damn, this kid is bigger than what the world knows, but they don't see it. Nah, but they did me like that on purpose. Like I could have, after I said I was a King of R&B. It's like, it was a purpose thing. Like, it's like, okay this this nigga think he all that Let's let's shut him down like I'm pretty sure they had group meetings like okay this nigga thing Who is this little nigga like okay? Let's shut that down everybody talking about now I mean all the all the spots like this you know saying like spots like not saying this spot actually

But you know the different spots like where where news and goes out, you know, everybody tried to put me down Are you gonna file a lawsuit like Drake? Think like I ain't that type of dude. You feel I'm saying I'm not the type of dude I'm not that type of guy you feel I'm saying like like I've made mistakes, you know So I think the biggest mistake I ever made in my career was going on the internet talking about Trace Jones I think that was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life as man everything We talked yesterday on the internet talking about Trey Songz, honestly. I think that was the biggest mistake I ever made in my life as a man, everything. But besides that- Well y'all fucked. In Dubai.

Yeah, we talked yesterday. I was very sick of you just saying no granted. We used to that immediately. Shit, niggas gotta hit sometimes. You feel me? Shit, fuck it. You feel me? What was that about though?

Cause y'all friends. Well yeah, we friends, but it was just one of them nights. That nigga got the trippin', in my opinion. Was you drinking though? Yeah, but I wasn't drunk. Okay. You feel me? Like, I wasn't drunk. You know when a drinker say they not drunk, though? Yeah, but I wasn't drunk. OK. You feel me? I wasn't drunk.

You know what a drinker say? They're not drunk, but you was drunk. But I wasn't drunk for real. Because I'm a nigga that'll tell you, I was lit. Yeah. You feel me? I wasn't drunk. I remember the whole night.

You just regret taking it to the internet. Yeah, I just regret taking it to the internet. You know what I'm saying? That's really my biggest regret. Who swung first? Me. Yeah. I had to. Didung first? Me. Yeah. I had to.

He been bigger than me. Hell yeah, I can. I mean, he the smallest. You know, small niggas be. I had to. Yeah. Because we know Trey to fight. Yeah, he could.

Trey let us fight. He let us fight. Yeah. I mean, the second generation, second decade Trey. Second decade Trey. But y'all know I never knew that about, bro. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Trey get busy.

That's why I was so shocked. Trey and Chris Brown get busy. It must be that Virginia. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Chris, I don't know if Chris get busy a so shocked. Tre and Chris Brown get busy. It must be that Virginia. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Chris, I done been with Chris a couple of times, but I knew about Chris. Tre be by himself, be ready to fight the club. But you gotta think, he's my brothers.

So I never thought, like, no matter what they doing, I'm like, this'll never happen to me. That's like you got brothers that steal. You're like, man, my brother gonna be robbing everybody. You feel what I'm saying? But then the niggas turn the gun on you. That's when you like, you shot, like, what the fuck? I feel like the nigga turned the gun on me.

So that's what it was. Well they say if you wanna see how somebody's eventually gonna treat you, watch how they treat other people. They say that. But he damn sure called me yesterday because he on tour with Bow Otter and Pleasure P. Who won the fight though? I honestly would say, I know I connected.

The fight was so fast, bro. How'd your drink get pulled out? Bro, it was like boom, boom. Then I remember Tray hit me. Boom, then I remember I tried to go down That's when he pulled my hair That was the whole fight But you already so I'm totally straight

You know, they like five ten Grab the top of my head. Oh. You know what I'm saying? And then hit you with the, yeah. And that one, the. How did y'all speak after that though? Fighting for no goddamn reason.

Yeah, boy. This shit probably was for no damn reason. It was so dumb, bro. It was so dumb, and I was trying to help him. That's what I feel. I was trying to help him. That's what I feel. I was trying to basically like help it bro. You know when you feel like, okay, we party too hard. Let's all try to get this shit together.

I remember I was going outside trying to- So you pointed to me to get your shit together. Nah, I took my watch off. I remember I took my watch off like, dude this nigga Tray think I'm a hoe. Yeah. I remember I took this watch. I remember I gave it to my partner. I mean, hold my watch.

Boom! And then you got a thing. I mean, hold my watch. Boom! And then you got a thing, I don't even hit with my left hand. I took my left watch off and hit him with my right hand. Damn, nigga. You a jerk too. How did y'all speak after? Who made the phone call after?

After you got online, you show your dread, you... Trey called me. You feel me? He called me and we was arguing for like weeks. Threats. You know what I'm saying? To each other? Yeah. It was more so me.

You know what I'm saying? Why go on the internet then? Because once it went on the internet, he hit me like, boy, you know you. But that's how, like, nigga, you went on the internet, nigga. That's how, that's how. Oh, that's how I start. Okay, okay. Yeah, like, bro, what the? Because nobody would have knew. Nope.

Nobody would have knew it would have been a fight in Dubai. Yeah. And I was tripping because we was in Dubai. Both of y'all be in jail. Both of y'all. That's what he was trying to get me to understand. I was so hot, I wouldn't listen at all. That's why he picked you up by your head like,

nigga, this is not what we talking about. But yesterday he called me like, bro, I love you, man. I'm proud of you, because I had my documentary premiere. Like, bro, I love you. He said something about my dreads, too. he was like, why you dread look thin? He was fucking with me though. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. But it was all love, like I love, bro. I done knew them boys for so long. I just can't, I'm the type, I can't look at you and be like, I don't fuck with Trae. I can't even tell another nigga something bad about him. I'm not gonna feel like a real one.

I feel like I can say anything about him. But I'm not gonna go to the next person and let them talk about him. You know, I ain't never been like that with my people. You know what I'm not gonna feel like a real one. I feel like I can say anything about him. But I'm not gonna go to the next person and let them talk about him. You know, I ain't never been like that with my people. You know what I'm saying? I can say whatever about this nigga. But if you start saying something about this nigga, then it's gonna be up with you.

Jesus, I am. So what about, I heard you mention it quite a few times, your documentary. What is Call Me Queer about? Call Me Queer is just a story about my whole life. You just see my whole story. I feel like how Envy say when we go on the road and people be singing my records

and people don't really give me the respect. In real life, this documentary shit sum all of it up. This documentary shit tell people why I feel like I'm the king of R&B of my generation. I'm literally just showing you everything. Like, we showed it last night in Atlanta and people really got tears in their eyes, like, watching that.

And it's just like, it make me feel good because, because like I work so hard to get to where I am you know what I'm saying like I work so hard like that's why I hate the fact that people play with me but my mama always told me she was like man when you get a real like situation when different things like you know when people really respect your relationships and people start to like respect you as a man I feel like all the jokes are changed with you on your music you know what I'm saying? But like I said, when I said I was a King of R&B, I know that just shook the room up with people.

And it's like, you know, they never put me on none of the King of R&B tours they went on. You know what I'm saying? They never put me on none of the shows they did. You know, nobody ever really gave me the proper credit that I deserved because I really sparked up the game. You know what I'm saying? I got people a whole lot of money. You know what I'm saying?

I brought back the dead. Some people was never talked about again. R&B, you know what I'm saying? That was a whole thing, you know what I'm saying? And I just know people don't like confidence for real. You know what I'm saying? It's like people don't like confidence. When you confident about yourself.

Yeah, like people don't even like LeBron. That's crazy. You dig what I'm saying? Like it's like. And at one point everybody loves you. And then they hate you. Yeah, like people don't need like LeBron. That's crazy. You dig what I'm saying? Like it's like. And at one point everybody loves you. And then they hate you. And that was the same way with me.

I remember I was the most loved, looked, child, kid style when I came out. But I wouldn't, but I would come places like the Breakfast Club, not saying Charlemagne, but I would walk past Charlemagne and something and he'd be like, I tried to dab his hand, he'd be like, I might look at him and be like, what the? And I would hear that shit, you know what I'm saying?

But then I would get on the internet and sit and shit and be like, but that nigga just said something about me right here. So you know the fuck I am. You know. Like why the fuck this nigga playing in my face? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like I remember like, I remember,

I'll never forget like Tory, that's my brother, Free Tory. I remember like, I remember we was at Revolt, this one Revolt, first pop dog. We was outside and I remember I seen Tory, I had remember we was at Revoke, this one Revoke, first pop dog, we was outside, and I remember I seen Tory, I knew who he was from the internet, you dig what I'm saying, I went to his tent, I was like, what's up, bruh?

You know what I'm saying, I'm out with you, you know what I'm saying, I remember he tried to act like he didn't know who I was, that's what sparked the king, that's what really sparked me for real. And I remember I was like, this nigga, acting like he don't know who I am, so I remember I got on the internet, like man, I'm harder than all these niggas,

except for Chris Brown. Then I remember Tory added me like something. And I was like, nigga, I thought you didn't know who I was. Then that's when we end up getting cool, going on tour, because he knew like, okay, this nigga right here, he's Cedar Bullshit. You ever fuck with him like, hey man, your head gettin' a little thin up top.

Tory? Yeah. Nah, I was always a nigga, I was on FaceTime with Tory when he got the hair transplant. For real? For real? He was at the doctor's office?

Yeah, when he was getting the surgery, nigga bleeding and shit, I was on the phone. Damn. That's my nigga. You know, I just been like, yo, you R&B niggas are fucking fighters, yo. Just think about it. You got Queens, Trey, Chris, Tori.

Y'all are fighters. What's wrong with y'all? I'm good. I went through a terrible phase in my life. I kept telling Trey, I'm like, bro, we going through a spiritual, what I kept telling him, I'm like, it's a spiritual war or something. I kept telling him that at the beginning of the year.

That's why at the end of the year, I see how I am now. I'm like, man, I was right. You feel me? I'm like, bro, we going through some shit, gang. I'm like, bro, I'm telling you, the devil trying to get us, bro. I'm not going to tell you, bro, I'm not going to be a part of your shit.

That's what I kept telling him. I'm like, bro, I'm not going to be a part of this shit.. I'm like, bro, I'm not gonna be a part of this shit. Like whatever, like bro, I'm not in that shit, bro. I just wanna be like, you feel me? I just wanna be away from all this shit. You feel me? That's how I started getting it. And that's when I started like,

getting with my girl and just like saying fuck everybody. Like not really fuck you, but you know, you have to be like, man, fuck him. You know what I'm saying? And yeah, I just locked in and I got right. You know one thing I love that your girl did, she told you that you can't name, what was it, you can't name the son?

Your son can't have your last name if y'all don't know. No, but y'all know that wasn't the truth. I'm glad we talking about that. Oh, it wasn't the truth? No, she didn't want him to be a junior. The last name was never a problem. You know what I'm saying? So he was gonna be a broad next regardless.

Gotcha, gotcha. You know what I'm saying? Like the name was always gonna be double regardless. Like even when we finalized, like when we go through with our marriage and everything, all my kids will be Sanders broadnecks. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm not gonna make Snow the only nigga

like Sanders broadnecks. Like his little sister will be Sanders broadnecks, his little brother will be Sanders broadnecks, everybody. So yeah, it was more so a thing where I wanted his name to be Rodriguez Jacquees broadnecks, I mean Rodriguez Jacquees broadnecks Jr. at first. You know what I'm saying? She fought you on that one.

Because, now this is what happens, because when we wasn't married or whatever, whatever the case was, she had always told me, I wanna keep my last name and just add on. You know what I'm saying? But me, I was cool with that, because I'm like, well you are Deondra Sanders, that's your brand. You know what I'm saying?

I don't really. And her father's legacy. Yeah, it's like- That's what I want, I got four daughters, so I ain't got no sons you are Deondra Sanders. That's your brand. You know what I'm saying? I don't really. And a father's legacy. Yeah, it's like. That's what I want. I got four daughters, so I ain't got no sons. I want the same thing. Yeah, it's like, I'm cool with that. You know what I'm saying?

Your brand, but it's like, you know, but then when we pull up someone, she's like, well, I'm Miss Broadnecks. You know what I'm saying? That's my last name. That always made me feel good too, because my son is Snow Sanders Broadnecks. You know what I'm saying?

So it's like, we made it work out. I know everybody was like, man, he only married her because of the last name? So it's like, we made it work out. I know everybody was like, man, he only married her because of the last name. But it's like, nah, bro, she was, the kid would have had my last name regardless. I wanted to marry Shaudi. It wasn't about like, for the baby, that's like foolish. You know what I'm saying?

Like, I'm not that type, dog. Like, I'm not marrying you just so this kid can have my name. You feel what I'm saying? Like, I'm gonna sign the birth certificate, nigga will have my name. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna sign the birth certificate, nigga will have my name. You know what I'm saying? That's how this shit work. I will sign the birth certificate,

nigga will have my name. But that whole story was fixed. It was kept, bro. I was just waiting to get on the right interview to say something. Wow. See, that's why I'm glad I say allegedly about shit. Yeah, shit was kept.

A lot of shit, I want y'all to ask me some more shit, bro. A lot of shit be kept by me. Like, ask me some more shit. I can't wait to straight shit up. Everything kept by Jaqueez. I don't wait to straight shit up everything kept by Jack Weasel I don't even know Then I'd be trying your boy may have pay attention who is some of your mentors though I see you you

And then I finally got it together and I seen him, you know, he had comment on some of my pictures and be like,

Listen to Quest Love Supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey y'all, I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, host of Therapy for Black Girls.

And I'm thrilled to invite you to our January Jumpstart series for the third year running. All January, I'll be joined by inspiring guests who will help you kickstart your personal growth with actionable ideas and real conversations. We're talking about topics like building community and creating an inner and outer glow. I always tell people that when you buy a handbag, it doesn't cover a childhood scar. When you buy a jacket, it doesn't reaffirm what you love about the hair you were told not to love.

So when I think about beauty, it's so emotional because it starts to go back into the archives of who we were, how we want to see ourselves and who we know ourselves to be and who we can be. So a little bit of past, present and future, all in one idea, soothing something from the past. And it doesn't have to be always an insecurity. It can be something that you love. All to help you start 2025 feeling empowered and ready.

Listen to Therapy for Black Girls starting on January 1st on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up y'all?

Hey y'all, Nymonee here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Flash slam, another one gone.

Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.

My podcast, When You're Invisible, is my love letter to the working class people and immigrants who shaped my life. I get to talk to a lot of people

who form the backbone of our society, but who have never been interviewed before. Season two is all about community, organizing, and being underestimated. All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of people said, this sucks, let's do something about it. I can't have more than $2,000 in my bank account or else I can't get disability benefits.

They won't let you succeed. I know we get paid to serve you guys, but like, be respectful. We're made out of the same things, bone, body, blood. It's rare to have black male teachers.

Yeah, when I was graduating high school, he moved me out there to the Hollywood crib. Wow. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, I was supposed to sign with Chris Brown before I signed with Cash Money. He believed in you early, early.

Really? I didn't sign with him, because Chris had to go to rehab. This was like 2015, 2014 when Chris had to go to rehab right before he had royalty, his first child. Yeah. Yep, and I remember he came back Like maybe you sound a bird man. I need some of that money. I'm like Good now wait, do I regret now? No, no, I don't know. I'm aggressive my life. I love being with cash money That was my dream. I saw you clear that up that you said they do pay day artists

Yeah, like I'm straight with something, you know, like I always told people like people, like I've never been the type, like if me and you signed an envy, I'm not even asking envy about your business. Like if you come to me and complain to me about envy, and be like, Quee, can you go holler at him for me? Then I'll try to, you know what I'm saying? But I ain't really going, I can't, I'm a man at the end of the day, like you know what I'm saying? I can't really, I gotta feed mine, he digs.

So I ain't really, me and Stunna and Slim always been good, you know what I'm saying? I can't really, I gotta feed mine. He did, so I ain't really. Me and Stunna and Slim always been good. You know what I'm saying? So, they's been great. And I made a song with Wayne. You know, super dope. I just made a song with Wayne a couple months ago. You still on the contract with them or? Yeah, I'm still on the contract with Cash Money.

You feel me? I'm still with Cash Money. So what's the relationship like you don't? What, with Stunna? Yeah. Oh, I love Stunna. I think he blocked my number right now though. He got mad at me.

For what? Cause I wanted to go to Louisiana Fist. Because you wanted to go? I mean I wanted to go and they left me and I think I was talking shit. What you mean you think you were talking shit? But Stunner my uncle though. You know what I'm saying? It's like shit. I can get mad. Shit I wanted to go to Louisiana, I don't care. Shit, fuck it. Ella Mai still got you blocked?

I don't know, I don't be checking her shit. She's like Ella Mai now. It's not like a thing to me anymore. It's like, I'm happy for you, you're great, you date Jason Tatum. He's a great basketball player. That's it. Yeah. Just topical shit.

Yeah, it's like, you just cool. Like, what's up, Ella Mai? I wish you the best type shit. But I'm not checking for you. Yeah. Nah, type shit. People were mad. Well, she was mad because you had redid her record. Yeah, but I know she didn't understand

because she used to love me, bro. Like, she waited backstage to meet me. Like, when I was on tour with Chris Brown. Like, my security called me like, hey, Ella Mai is waiting by your dressing room. She's very excited to meet you. I came down there and met her. We got on tape.

She loved me at first. But I knew she was young. And I knew the people met her, we got her on tape. She loved me at first, but I knew she was young and I knew the people around her, like, they wasn't giving her the proper game. Like, the niggas that she signed to, they wasn't saying, like, hey, this an artist, sometimes artists remix your songs, you know what I'm saying? Like, you should rock with Jaque.

Like, that'd be dope. They didn't tell her that. And it was kind of confusing, because that's how she had came up, too, you know, doing that, like, doing covers before she actually blew as well. Yeah, but, you know, when you make it in this game and you get around people that don't have success before you, you tend to listen to them.

And you know what I'm saying? That shit was crazy. Me and Mustard got the argument behind that shit and everything, but we cool now. Me and Mustard got in a full blown argument. About redoing the song? About the trip shit. That's crazy.

That nigga called my phone on FaceTime. I remember going crazy. I remember I had to tell that nigga, like, man, you gotta calm down. But we got cool, you know? So now we plan, I remember we had planned to do some work, but the work never happened. I don't know if it was cap, you know what I'm saying? But I know we had said that we were gonna work. You know, I'm all about your work. You spoke to Thug since he been on?

Mm-mm. I talked to Dolly though, and I talked to his mama. But like I say, Thug is my brother. Like, his nieces and stuff was with us the whole time he was locked up. You know what I'm saying? Like, my nieces, his nieces and stuff was with us the whole time he was locked up, you know what I'm saying?

Like my nieces, his nieces go to the same school with all the graduation, they be at my house. If I call his sister on FaceTime, my little cousin might be in the front seat, you know what I'm saying? It's like that. I called him the other day, they say he was in the shower. Nigga probably was standing right there by the phone. He probably didn't wanna talk, you know what I'm saying?

But- Why wouldn't he wanna talk? He probably just, that nigga just came home. And then imagine how many people calling the phone. And then me and Bruh, it's close for real. It's like, I know Bruh probably just gonna fuck around and sin for me. You know what I'm saying?

Like, bruh, y'all get que out here. That's how he is. You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna go in there and see him and we gonna talk about everything. Bruh went through a lot when he was locked up. Did you talk to him while he was locked up? Did you send him any books?

Nope, I talked to his mama. Nope, and you know what? One of my people was on the inside, as far as keeping me posted with him and stuff like that. But one thing that I had started regretting, because I was gonna go to the court, you know how different people was showing up to the courtroom, but I was like,

nah, I'm not going to the courtroom, you know what I'm saying? Because I just didn't think it would be smart, you know be smart you know saying for me to just go to the courtroom So when I didn't write him a letter, I was like dang I know I know thug you know like Rini's letters like why the hell I ain't just writing my letter cuz I know he the Type of person where everybody that wrote him a letter he going that probably meant something to him But then I also thought about well, okay, even though I didn't write the letter I know he's still hearing that his nieces them still like feeling good.

Like, they see Jaquees, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he treat them good, like, they get to do this and that, you know what I'm saying? I know he hear that. I know that make them feel good. Like, okay, he doing that cool, you know what I'm saying? And then I know like me and his sister them, his mama them so tight. I talked to his mama like as soon as he got out, you feel me? But I was talking to his mama during the whole thing too. You know what I'm saying?

So like that's my family. Thug, I'm gonna tell you like anybody tell you, I knew he was coming home because I knew his spirit. Like you feel me? Like Thug the type of person where it's like, he another person where people are judged until they meet him. Then when people meet Thug,

they got a whole nother opinion about him. They be like, boy, I love Thug. You know what I'm saying? Cause you could feel the type of person he is. He really is a great person. And that's what the Lord knows. That's why I knew he was coming home. I knew it was just a lesson in it for him.

I knew God just didn't want everybody around him no more. You know what I'm saying? Because he's a giver too. You know what I'm saying? Like he's a strong giver. I done been with Thug from the beginning. You know what I'm saying? Like I was with bro from day one.

Like literally. You know what I'm saying? Like shit, I know people don't know. You know what I'm saying? know you know saying so that's why I like when you was holding the city down now I was with stuff from day one. I've been with us since 2013 14, you know, it's 2024 So basically God was using Woody to bring them home I don't know who was using them. I don't know those guys like that. I don't know those guys. But Free Hat got it up, baby.

How did the path in the Rich Homie Quorn impact you? Aw, terrible. It hit me hard. You gotta think Thug and Quorn were my big brothers in the industry. That's how I came in the game. You know what I'm saying? I came in with Quorn and Thug,

literally, hold my hand, both of them. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, when Quorn passed, I instantly thought about Thug, though. I ain't even gonna cap. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, when Quorn passed, I instantly thought about Thug though, I ain't even gonna cap. You know what I'm saying? I thought about Thug and I was just like, damn. Like I started thinking about all the conversations

me and Birdman used to have when I was like 21. You know what I'm saying? And I remember when Rich Gang broke up, me and Stunna used to talk so much about the plans that we had and different things like that. You know? And a lot of things that happened, you know what I'm saying? Stunna used to like say like, man, we need to do this

so this don't happen, this don't happen. Like, we got a chance to be the biggest in the world. You know what I'm saying? Like, folks don't even know like the Rich Gang Tour, like when everybody was on the road, niggas was getting a lot of money early. It wasn't even no hits out for real. Lifestyle was the only song really out.

But it was a lot of bread on the table. But it was a lot of artists too. You know what I'm saying? It was me, Soulja Boy, Rich Homie the only song really out. But it was a lot of bread on the table. But it was a lot of artists too. You know what I'm saying? It was me, Soulja Boy, Rich Homie, Korn, Thug. Everybody was on that stage. But I just remember just thinking back, like when Korn died, bro, I remember I went to the funeral. I remember I got on my knee and prayed in front of him.

it also made me think like, man, I even want to take more control of my life. You know what I'm saying? I want to take more control of my life because the way that Quorn went out, it should teach everybody a lesson. You know, it's lessons that we still being taught by the greatest people in the world.

You dig what I'm saying? I'm like, damn. You know, just sitting up there just like with Kwon, it's just like Kwon was the heartbeat of his family. You know what I'm saying? And me and Kwon kinda like came up the same way. We both from the east side of Atlanta. We both like, we not street niggas, you know what I'm saying?

But it's like, we from the hood, but we not street niggas. You dig what I'm saying? Like, but we around all that, but we not street niggas. So I related to Kwon a lot. He was smart in school. You dig what I'm saying? But we around all that, but we not street niggas. So I related to Kwon a lot. He was smart in school. You dig what I'm saying? He was a leader.

Rich Homie Kwon was a real leader, dawg. If you was in Atlanta, when this shit popped off, nigga, that shit was crazy. Niggas went and got their hair cut like this nigga. It was the Rich Homie Kwon haircut. You can go in the barbershop and be like, let me get the Kwon. That little sponge shit that these niggas be doing, man. You feel me?

You feel what I'm saying? Like the little one that they planted everything into, like, like even when Kwon and Thug were having,

whatever the fuck they had going on, you know what I'm saying? I remember Kwon would call my phone. I might be in the studio with Thug. You know what I'm saying? He'll see it, say Kwon on my phone. You feel what I'm saying? He'd be like, ask the phone for your brother, nigga. You feel me?

people don't like to hear that shit because nobody likes the peacemaker in the street. You know what I'm saying? So people don't really like to hear shit like that. But me, as they little brother, I feel like I'm the type of person where I can always talk about how special our relationship was.

You know how special their relationship was and how much they taught me about this shit. You know what I'm saying? When I first met Thug, Korn didn't even want me to meet Thug without him. You know what I'm saying? He like, man, I don't want you to meet him without me because I want him to know that you my real little brother.

I want him to treat you a certain way. I want him to love you a certain way. I still pulled up without Korn. But I remember him just saying, bruh, I want him to treat you a certain way, like I want him to love you a certain way. I still pulled up without Korn. But I remember him just saying, you know bruh, I want everybody. He really had my back. I remember nights we used to be in the studio, because the Rich Gang studio used to be packed.

Like when we first started, she'd probably be like 50 niggas in the studio. At one point, every artist in Atlanta was in Rich Gang. I remember Korn would leave the studio early. I was like 19 then. But remember Korn was the biggest at first in the gang. I remember he had leave, then you know when a nigga leaving,

but they turn around and be like, Sharlay, man, you good? But then they walk somewhere and be like, show. You feel me, bruh? He used to do that shit all the time. You feel me, like, man? Telling you you have to go home, really. He's like, I love it.

You know what I'm saying? But I used to always stay. But that's when I knew I much loved Thug half of him. You know what I'm saying?

I used to be like, he was like, it's about that money, ain't it? He was like, man, I throw you 5,000 so fast, she ain't gonna see it. Like dude, this one niggas first start getting money.

You know what I'm saying? So Thug might have 20,000 on him. You know what I'm saying? But like I said, he was a giver. He would first start get money. You know, I'm saying so I have 20,000 on Mm-hmm, you know I'm saying but like I say he was a giver. He would have gave me whatever, you know I'm saying I'm really going to mall Corn I remember my first time in the mall with them, bro.

Don't ask me like You want me to buy you some you've been but I was a type of dude I was like, I ain't want nobody to buy me nothing. I'm like, nah, I'm straight. I just work for it.

He like, all right, well, next time you come here, why, Bird gonna get you anything you want. He did me the same way when I first signed to him. He was just giving me the game. I just remember all these stories. It was just dope, bro. Did it happen? Yeah, I went back, stung him about me everything.

I went back. It was literally just like he said. I just remember that. I'm just watching them shop. You feel me? Like, damn, like I remember London, this one London first got a chick. I remember they was just buying designer shit.

I'm like, these niggas, I had a white tee on. You feel me? I'm like, these niggas just ballin'. You think Stunna get a bad deal? What? The way people talk about his business. Oh hell yeah. Yeah, Stunna.

But we hear all the stories, and you just telling us all the stuff that he's done. Man, Stunna is Stunna. And Stunna asked me one day, like nephew, why everybody don't, why, like, I helped everybody. Like why, you feel me, like why the fuck? Cause Stunna one of them niggas you just wanna hang with. You know what I'm saying? Like when I'm with Stunna, like them be like

the most greatest times ever for me. You know what I'm saying? Cause for one, I grew up on them. For two, we formed a real relationship. And for three, like Stunna made me a household name. You know what I'm saying? And for one, I grew up on them. For two, we formed a real relationship. And for three, like, Stunna made me a household name. You know what I'm saying? And I'm super thankful for Slim and Stunna. Because I told a nigga the other day, I'm like, bruh, no matter how mad I get with Stunna

or what, Stunna still put my albums out, bruh. Like, Stunna ain't holding his nuts on me ever. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, bruh, I can't be, can't nobody get in my head about my period. You know what I'm saying? So I'm like, bro, I can't be, can't nobody get in my head about my aunt, period. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I got my own, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I love Stunna. I wouldn't be who I am with that Stunna and Slim, bro.

Like, and I really, it's not even business. Like, we like family for real. We argue, niggas block each other numbers, niggas unblock the numbers, niggas go out to eat, niggas literally argue, figure it out. Stunna be on the phone with my mama, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, talking to my moms, like, they talk about shit.

You know, we family, bro. Like, if Stunna, if one of my homeboys, Stunna don't like, he call me like, hey, get a nigga from around you. I don't give a fuck what you say. Nigga can't come back around me, you know what I'm saying? Like, shit like that. And it's like, it it was it's deeper than rap I tell everybody like bro if I had assigned with any other label

I wouldn't be Jacquees who I am cuz I don't have cold moments in the game You know saying one thing about cash money what Stunna don't do is leave you in the cold You feel me? He don't leave you in the cold like starting getting the cold with you You feel me? And that's what I always respect about like like most Most labels would be like, all this nigga ain't doing shit, drop him. We didn't spend no more money on the nigga. Keep spending the bag, he keep doing shit, and we keep rolling. He just keep the faith going.

Even when Stunna get upset with me, he still make sure my shit come out. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, he must- That's business. Yeah, it's like, he out of the business, he might be mad at me about some other shit that I ain't listen to him on on some nephew shit.

You feel me, buddy? Besides that, he putting putting out my shit and you tripping off Louisiana ticket. Hell. Yeah When you when you propose did you did you hit up Dion first you got the respectful thing you do you gotta call it pops First oh, yeah, I hit up damn But I forgot to tell you I'll stunter the reason was one of the biggest reason I got married I forgot to say that we went to essenceunner, the reason, was one of the biggest reasons I got married, I forgot to say that. When we went to Essence Fest, I hadn't seen Stunner in a long time, so this the first time Unx seen me

since I have been not drinking and stuff. You feel me? Because you know, during that time, a lot of people had done got like, man, you know they would be upset with you. You know what I'm saying? So when Stunner seen me, he like, boy, you look good. Boy, you feel me?

First thing he told me, like, nephew, you look good, boy. He like, you need to marry her. You feel me? He like, I'm dead ass. Like, you look good, but you need to marry her. You feel me? He like, I'm dead ass. Like, you know I don't even talk like that. That's what he said. You know I don't even say shit like this. He like, but you need to marry her, bro.

She done made you better. He like, this the best I ever seen you look. God damn, you focus, you need to marry her. Like, she pregnant, you need to marry her. You feel me? He like, you don't need to waste no time. So when he said that, I just was like, damn. So I thought about Dion too, I'm like, okay.

So I called him, called Dion. Called Dion with his pastor, you know what I'm saying? Dion talked to me, you know what I'm saying? He gave me a lot of game, stuff that I'll never forget. You know what I'm saying? Told me stuff that I needed to hear, you know what I'm saying? He kept it real with me. It's like, he wasn't talking to me like

a little boy that's clueless, you know what I'm saying? He talking to me like a man, like he was talking to me like a man that's like he's been me before, you know what I'm saying? So it was like very honorable for me, you know what I'm saying? And I took it all in and he basically gave me his blessing. I went and bought the ring right after that.

And that's amazing. And remember when you said you want us to ask you some more shit, so I wanted to ask you this. More specifically, because we went past it a little quick, that had to be sacred for you. Having a baby is sacred for you. Having a baby is sacred for a woman, especially when it's y'all first.

And that's news that y'all wanna put out. But when Dreezy put it out there first, what was your initial reaction? And then what was Deandre's too? Because she had told us, but that's how we found out y'all was pregnant, through Dreezy. I was hot, and I'm going to tell you, like, the reason I did it, and I know that I'm probably wrong,

or was wrong, or the way I was thinking, because of course it's me and we grew up, we learned, I thought that I owed her something to tell her because I had been with her for so long. You know what I'm saying? So I was like, okay, as a friend, as a respectful dude, you know what I'm saying? I was with Dreezy for a long time.

Let me tell her that I'm having a baby before she just find out through the world. Okay, so you told Dreezy, I know Deandre that she was going to tell Dreezy. No, no, I told Dreezy, I know De'Andre that she was going to tell Drezy. Nah, nah, I told Drezy. I told Drezy, yeah, I was like, look, I'm having a baby. You know what I'm saying? I was like, De'Andre having a baby, you know, I want to get a respect to let you know,

like I feel like we had that type of relationship where I could let you, like, you know, I want you to be blinded where you embarrassed or, you know what I'm saying, these type of things, you know what I'm saying? But she went out and put it out. You know what I'm saying? She said you were begging to get her pregnant too. I was so lost, bro. I'm gonna tell you the truth, bro.

I was one of them niggas. Like I said, I wanted my cake and eat it too and I was drinking. So you know, when you're drinking, you're not making the proper decision. And she said you sent drawers to her house. With your face on it. Nah, bro, I didn't send no drawers.

Yeah, with your face on it, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. I didn't send no drawers. I reported in just the last week. It was probably something sent to me, but I didn't put no draw. I don't even. I didn't send no draw. It was probably something sent to me, but I didn't put my face on nothing. Okay. You know what I'm saying? So you didn't send no underwear?

Nah, I don't got the time to do all that, bruh. No, all right, well, did you allegedly send no underwear? No, I didn't send no underwear, dawg. I ain't send no underwear. You feel me? If someone was sent to me, I don't know. Do you own underwear with your face on it? No. No, no, no, no, but.

Did they ever talk? Did Dreezy and D.O.D.R.Y. ever talk? They talked, they talked. Yeah, they talked. I don't know if it was the best conversation, but I think they talked to the point where they don't have to talk again. So Dreezy wasn't lying when she said

you was hitting her up saying you want to get her pregnant. She had tics. Yes. Yeah, she had a tics message. I think the tics is the proof. And he said he always wanted kids. You said you always wanted kids. You always wanted a family.

Yeah, I wanted a family. And I think, like I said, with me, I was 28, 29. You know what I'm saying? I'm 39. You know what I'm saying? I was, sometimes a man feel like a child can solve all his problems too. Sometimes a man will feel like, man, if we had this baby, that's gonna solve all our problems.

That's the answer we need. You know what I'm saying? There's women that think like that. And that's what I was thinking. You know what I'm saying? That's what I was thinking when I was in that mode. I was thinking, man, maybe if me and Dreezy have a baby, this was before all the other stuff,

I was thinking, I was like, man, we have a baby, you know, all our problems will be fixed. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know what I'm saying? And she would always tell me like, I don't want a kid, I don't want a kid. You know what I'm saying? So when I had my baby with, when De'Andra got pregnant,

I'm like, man, this gotta be God. You feel what I'm saying? Like, I've been with Dries for years, she never got pregnant. You know what I'm saying? I was with her from, I was 23 till now. You know what I'm saying? Like, she never got pregnant. You know what I'm saying? I was with her from, I was 23 till now. You know what I'm saying? Like, she never got pregnant.

I was just like. Oh wow, that was a 60 year relationship, damn. Yeah, that shit was long as fuck. Yeah. You still love her? I got love for her. I'm not in love with her. I always had love for her.

I think anybody that's been with a person that say they got no love for them at all is just like a terrible person. You know what I'm saying? It's like damn, I wouldn't let her get hit by a car. Yeah, I'll push her out in the street. How can you stop, oh. I was gonna say, you can't. You know what I'm saying? Like, like damn, I wouldn't let her get hit by a car. I'd push her out the street. You know what I'm saying? If I could push her out the street, I would. You know what I mean?

I'm not gonna let nothing happen to you. You did what I'm saying? But nah, I'm so in love with where I am now. I feel so confident to talk about my past. You know what I'm saying? I can sit up here and talk about my past. I feel so confident to talk about my past. You know what I'm saying? Like I can sit up here and talk about my past because I'm not even saying nothing

that's harmful to Dreezy. You know what I'm saying? Like I got respect for her. Like I think she one of the dopest rappers out. You know what I'm saying? Well she definitely cold. Yeah she's super hot. Dreezy wrote one of my records on my album.

Oh on Baby Maggie? The last one. The last one I dropped. The one from 2022? Yeah. Since Ailey Eel? That was a Cecily piece? The last one. The last one I dropped. The one from 2022? Yeah. Since they lit up? Yeah. Since they lit up?

Yeah, she wrote Start Over. Okay, okay. She wrote the whole record. Wow. Oh, I wrote the second verse. Didn't Future EP that? I don't remember. Yeah.

All right. But, yeah, man. But, cool. Well, Baby Making is out right now. Now you can get your ass back to your family home in Atlanta. I'm outta here now. You're probably like, these niggas asked me another question. I know I do got one question about that though.

All right, because come on, because he thinkin' about his son a lot today. I know, and I know you got a pump. But, um, you know God, I'm out of here now. You're probably like, this new girl asked me another question. I know I do got one question about that, though. All right, because come on, because you think about his son a lot today. I know, and I know you got to pump. But you got to pump. I do, son. She got to go pump.

I'm pumping him up. That's what it's really about, Dr. E. She been in his struggle since before you got here. It's hard, Jess. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you, bro. You be up here pumping. She about to run out and pump.

Damn right. How old is your son? My son is 12. My daughter is three months. Three months. And yeah, she's a breastfed baby exclusively. So I'm sitting here thinking about her not having no milk right now.

Yeah, that's all she, we not mixing, we not doing the formula, we just doing strictly breast milk. We didn't do the formula either, but we had to do the, what you call it? It's a formula. A hybrid. No, it's a formula, but it's like a. Soy, it's vegan, it's, yeah.

Soy, you put the powder in it Yeah, yeah, we have to do that. It's one of the healthier ones I know I read uh, tell me if I'm wrong, but I read you didn't have a relationship with your biological father True. So how does that impact how you parent now? Well, I tell I just started telling people that cuz I for a long time I was like, I don't know if I was embarrassed about it or not. I don't think I was embarrassed I just didn't want niggas to know my business. You know what I'm saying? I think that's more so how I was.

You gotta think, none of my friends ever knew that about me growing up, ever, till now. That's in an interview. You feel me? Never. Because I was just like, I ain't telling niggas that. I don't wanna give niggas no reason to look down on me. You know what I'm saying?

I ain't giving no nigga a reason to look down on me. I keep everything internal. You know what I'm saying? But my dad that raised me. I keep everything internal, you know what I'm saying? But my dad that raised me, his name's Steve. You know what I'm saying, that's my little sister dad, but that's my daddy. Like you know what I'm saying, like the nigga been with me since I was born.

You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I would feel like I'm doing him wrong to just say another nigga my daddy, you feel me? So it's like my biological father, I don't have a relationship with him. I went down to see him in Mississippi once for like a family reunion. And I remember he came here once.

But how I'm gonna do it with my son is like, what my dad taught me, Steve, I'm gonna teach my son the same thing. Like my daddy was lit. You feel me? I got two brothers on my dad's side, Steve Boyle and Stephon. They would always come down to summer. But like I say, my mama really played both roles though.

You know, so with me, I just know I'ma teach my son like how to love his family, how to be a stand up guy. I'ma teach him about God early, you know what I'm saying? And just how to be responsible and just how to look out for the family. I'm teaching that family is very important. You know what I'm saying? Family is very, very important.

I want him to have a real family dynamic. Like, you know, I believe that I'm changing the dynamics of Deandre's family, you know, because my family, we grew up like, and I'm saying they didn't, but the love that we grew up with was kind of different. You know what I'm saying? It's like, it was just a different type of love.

All love is different. Every household is different. Like, you know what I'm saying? You might have grew up with love in your household. We might have grew up with love in our household, but it could have been different love. Like, your daddy could have showed you tough love. My mama could have told me she loved me every day,

literally, you know what I'm saying? That shit had changed a nigga. That had changed people. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I believe that what I'm doing is I'm building a great thing. Like I told you, it's difficult to mend families, you know what I'm saying? Because you used to two different things. But I think now it's like, the biggest thing I'm doing now is just like,

men and the family and I think that, you know, it's difficult, but it's worth it. You know what I'm saying? It's tough, but it's worth it. It's like the toughest shit ever, but it's worth it. But it's worth it, you know? And I'm just in it.

I'm in it, because I want him to have, I want him to have, like, everything I didn't, everything I didn't, everything I had and more, you know what I'm saying? Like, he gonna be blessed, because he gonna, like, my mom was so lit to me. You know what I'm saying? Like, lit. Like, bro, like, whenever my mama still to this day, like, whenever my mama get in the pool

or do anything or just do activities with us, that shit turn me up. You know what I'm saying? Like for Thanksgiving, I went with my mama, I was with De'Angelo's mama then, but I got on the internet and I seen my mama jumping in the pool and shit. I'm like, man, I wish I was down there. You know what I'm saying?

Because I'm like, that's when I know we turned. You feel me? So I- You haven't had that type of stuff growing up? We had it from my mama. You did what I'm saying? So it's like now, my son, I get to know like, man, my mama lit and my daddy lit. You know what I'm saying? Like I don't now my son I get to know like, man, my mama lit and my daddy lit.

You know what I'm saying? Like I only just got to look for my mama to be lit with shit. It's like my daddy turned too. So it's like, that's what he gonna get to have. So I'm just excited about it. It's like, and he got his grandfather. He got some amazing uncles, like Shadour, Shiloh, and Bucky.

Like they great guys too. Like not only am I a great example, but he also got them. I think that's super dope. You know what I'm saying like that's why I want everybody to be so close because how I am like my nephew like my son and my niece like my daughter you know I want my my son to grow with his cousin like brothers and sisters you deal with I'm saying like that's just all we know but I believe that that's a new dynamic that I'm bringing into her family. You know, that I believe will be great because at the end of the day,

that's how we all started anyway. Everybody started on the floor, on the pallet with your cousin, you know what I'm saying? Or if you didn't, you probably didn't, but if you didn't, I think you should live this life because it's great. Like, family is amazing. I just, I miss family reunions and shit like that.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I remember going to the motherfuckers like, like you feel me? Like, you got to go. Like, families ain't, like, I miss family reunions and shit like that. You know what I'm saying? I remember going to the motherfuckers like, you feel me, like you got to go. Family's thing, I miss like nigga had to go to they grandma house. Nigga you gots to go over there. I don't give a fuck what, you got to eat this food. I don't give a fuck if you vegan nigga.

You know what I'm saying? I miss shit. I just miss real shit. Like I miss real shit. My son, he gonna have a voice. Of course he gonna have a voice. But I'm not letting him do shit that I know ain't right. I don't give a fuck.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't give a fuck. You know what I'm saying? Like, he did what I'm saying? Boy, I am proud of you. That's right. Like, oh, so much fun. Keep growing, man.
