Because I was just in a spirit of gratitude of just like how, like how important it is as an artist to get an opportunity to come on the Breakfast Club even though I'm puff or just like you know just the things that I have on the schedule it really really is a blessing
Starting point is 00:04:14 so I'm just here blessed excited I used to be scared to do the morning the Breakfast Club I ain't scared no more you should never be scared. We want to appreciate you because you were one of the first people
Starting point is 00:04:28 that believed and put us on your platform. That is very true. When a lot of people were scared, we came on early on. When you were building Revolt, we just always want to say thank you for that. Oh man, thank you. And we do this because you are a living legend.
Starting point is 00:04:42 I know people like to throw that term around now, but you really are an icon living. I appreciate that. It feels good. And I had a chance to see you at the iHeart Festival. I went to Vegas. So you tore it down, and you had your son on stage. I saw the live that you did beforehand.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Yes. Saying how he has a hit record right now. Yes, yes. Christian, which is my youngest son. Your clone. Yeah, my is, you know, my youngest son. Your clone. Yeah, my clone. He's like my twin. He always wanted to be on stage since he was three years old. Every time he would be at, you know, a tour, he would just, like, be mesmerized by the stage
Starting point is 00:05:18 and want to get on and talk on the mic to the people. And so he came out, and when he said he wanted to be a rapper, I said, well, you got to do it on your own. So he found his own distribution, started grinding, but everybody thought that I was helping him. You know what I'm saying? And so, you know, they was definitely giving him, like, you know, making him work for what he just accomplished. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Which was what he had to do. He had to give him, him you know an undeniable Hater proof record he got one and he got one with Kodak black You know saying can't stop won't stop bad boy. He's on the BET Awards tonight performing It's right, and I'm so proud of him because I had nothing to do it I had nothing call BT I didn't call nobody and ask him you know I did ask a couple of DJs since me and him are both on the charts if he if they can you know saying support the records as family but that's after he had the hit you know I'm saying besides
Starting point is 00:06:13 that he got it on his own and I want to make that clear to people because they definitely made him work for and he did the work and congratulations we the first father and son duo to be on the top ten no competition in the house though is there competition in the house now though like wait let's give a round of applause for that that's legendary and that's dangerous territory for him because it's like you sample crush on you and you're saying the can't stop won't stop which is a legendary phrase yeah that could be very big shoes to fill, but he seems to have done his job. Yeah, and definitely. I told him Bad Boy was on pause,
Starting point is 00:06:49 and he was like, nah, there's no way I'm letting that. He's so Bad Boy, so he's just taking the flag up himself, and it's really, really proud to see him to go through that adversity. I was asking, is there any friendly competition in the crib at all? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:06 The other day, he was charting higher than me. Out of nowhere, and they just like delivering me the message. And I was just like, I know that's my son, but he's not getting to number one before me. I said, that is not the way we come back in together. You're blackballed. No, I didn't blackball. I just told my team to turn up, and I felt so proud. I felt just so proud that he was higher on the chart than me.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Who's higher now? He is. I don't think as of today. But you got more resources. That's not fair. Yeah. You guys go stream it. Hey, yo, it's just like running a race with your pops.
Starting point is 00:07:51 You know what I'm saying? Now, how did you get Young Miami on the remix? Yeah. How did you get it? Did she charge you? Did she charge you? How did you get it charged? Nah, nah, nah.
Starting point is 00:08:01 She was at the studio. I said, get on the mic. Let's do this. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's what's nah, nah. She was at the studio. I said, get on the mic. Let's do this. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, that's what's up. Yeah, she was in the studio.
Starting point is 00:08:09 And she cleared it right away? No problems? Cleared it right away, yeah. Everything's clear. Everything's clear. You know what I'm saying? So you knew you wanted Young Miami and Ashanti. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I knew I wanted... Young Miami was really supposed to just do it for a challenge. You know what I'm saying? She wanted to do the open mic challenge. She really loved the record. But Ashanti, you know, I just felt Ashanti just because I think that music and art could, you know what I'm saying, gives you a chance to speak your mind when it comes to the love territory. And, you know, after I seen Irv do do his thing I was just thinking I was like sis may wanna you know you know just you
Starting point is 00:08:50 know express herself on this song you know oh so she's kind of like a rebuttal to the stuff I was saying yeah like we talk about whatever's going through our lives and you know and herb is my man and that's I've known Ashanti before Ashanti was like you know 14 and I just felt likeanti before. Ashanti was like, you know, 14. And I just felt like with the music, I'm trying to get real truth out the music. So, you know, I was actually, I was calling different people that, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:16 maybe had public relationships because that's what, you know, when I made the record, it was from my public relationship and me having to move on. And so that's how it kind of came together. And I feel when you make records in the truth in that truth it really jumps out so yeah not a remix is is really crazy it's like the rest of my remixes is gonna take the record to the next level and um yeah they really really really did they think that's interesting to see you that vulnerable
Starting point is 00:09:43 and even they admit that that record is about an ex relationship yeah yeah i had a you know when you in this game and you know you could definitely get an ego you know i'm saying and definitely experience an ego death when it's somebody that you like nah we are we we gonna make it through anything you know what i'm saying but then when it's over and then it's it's um yeah it's over like when when something's really really over with a woman it's over and and and you gotta move on and so i really had to learn that in my life i didn't want to move on i was i don't go out without a fight i'm like crazy boyfriend but even after they married and got kids and everything else, you stir up a lot of shit like that, didn't you?
Starting point is 00:10:28 If they married and got kids, no. I mean, that's when you got to move on. That's the only reason why I moved on. But yeah, it's always going to be, that's the thing I have as an artist is my life. You know what I'm saying? I may not, I maybe cannot write the best rhymes as Kendrick or Nas, but as an artist, artistically telling my truth, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:10:56 Whether it's through love or getting money or whatever it is, it's going to like ring true. What accountability do you take in that coming to an end? Me? I mean, everything. I was just like, you know, I just you know, I just wasn't I've never been a good
Starting point is 00:11:18 boyfriend. You know what I'm saying? Are you a whore? And that's why, no, no. I'm single, you know, and I'm honest now. But I was like, I would always be, you know, lying or seeing it. But then the internet just went so crazy, you know, and I definitely was like a, you know, a cheater. Were you an insecure boyfriend? Huh?
Starting point is 00:11:39 Were you insecure? No, I wasn't insecure. I was just wanting my cake and eat it too. I just wanted it all. I was just a my cake and eat it too i just i just wanted it all i was just a scorpio and you don't want those women with a lot of money huh and you don't want those women to do other things i think a lot of guys have that where they're like i want to you know be together be with you treat you like my woman have you not do other things but i'm gonna do other things um yeah i mean i mean before i i just wanted to have a girlfriend and just have maybe
Starting point is 00:12:06 some girls on the side you know what i'm saying just to have you know i'm saying but i had one in my previous relation i wanted to it to just be like that you know and um you know i had a lot of growing up to do you know i'm saying i grow you know even if i was older i had a you know the way i was seeing it i wasn't seeing it right. You can't play with somebody's life. You can't play with somebody's heart. Have you grown up? You said you needed to grow up.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you know if when you get into that situation again, you won't be the same Diddy as. Yeah, I won't be in that situation because I'm just fair and I'm honest. You know what I'm saying? I'm single and I'm able to do whatever I want to do in my life. You single and you able to do whatever you want to do in your life because that's the season I'm in.
Starting point is 00:12:51 So instead of lying about it, hurting somebody about it, hey, want to go to Italy? Carisha said y'all go together real bad. Not that bad. But she also said she's single. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Carisha's single. I'm single. It's working for so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Karisha's single. I'm single.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It's working for you. No, no, no. I'm saying she's one of my best friends. This girl is one of the, I'm so blessed to have met this human being. You know what I'm saying? Just the way she makes me laugh, the way she, you know, just, you you know rides with me and you know i'm saying the support without it having to be oh this is my girl or this is this situation you know i'm saying she's like has been a real friend and you don't get like you don't find best friends later on in life that's what
Starting point is 00:13:40 i'm saying and so she's she's one of best friends, and that's really the definition for it. That's my shorty WAP. She always going to be laced, always going to be smiling. I love seeing your dynamics on Carisha, please. I was like, look at Diddy acting like a little shy. He blushing now. You know, kind of nervous to answer questions, not knowing what to say. I think that's a good thing, though.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Yeah, it's like I'm saying I'm not monogamous, but I'm not ready for, you know what I'm saying, for my soul to be snatched. I'm not trying to be a player. I'm not trying to be like a pimp or nothing like that. I'm just, you know, I think dating is important when you've gone through something and you know you're not really ready
Starting point is 00:14:24 to be in a relationship and it's getting to an important time, you know, just taking the time to get to know people. You know, I could have had people that I took the time with to date that I could have been in a relationship with and then broke up with somebody else. But now we dated, we had fun, we saw it didn't feel right. You know what I'm saying? It didn't last the test of time. So mean that's that's that's my world you know I'm saying and I'm not taking away from any man that's in love or any
Starting point is 00:14:53 people that want to be married or wanna you know say they monogamous but they not I'm just telling the truth no I don't want to get married you don't want to get not I don't want to get married. I don't want to get married, but I would have a ceremony that would be better for a wedding for my wife. You just want to have a party? We don't have a party. It's just a party. It's just a ditty party. Nah, because
Starting point is 00:15:15 it would be like a celebration and a ceremony. A celebration of what, though? A celebration of our love. Oh, okay. I mean, we just do it different, King.
Starting point is 00:15:28 It'd be a celebration of my love, and she would probably get, you know, half a billion dollars. And see, that's what I was going to say, right? Yeah, she ain't got to get it
Starting point is 00:15:36 when she leave, baby. I want you to get it when you're here. See, that's what I mean, right? You feel me? If a woman's dating you, you're doing things for her that she's never had done before.
Starting point is 00:15:46 You're taking him to Italy. You're buying him crazy cars. You can imagine how she might think, he really likes me. But that's just your lifestyle. That's easy for you. No, I really like him if I'm taking him to Italy and buying him a car. I don't say I really like somebody, man. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:15:59 Time is precious. Time is precious. I still believe in that. No, I'm saying, I just, and then it's like right now, I just want to be single, and I just want to have different experiences, and I want to take my time with my love life and my heart and not have to be doing it for the gram. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:19 And if I like you, I'm going to treat you the best. I ain't got no time to be cheap, baby. You know what I'm the best. I ain't got no time to be cheap, baby. You know what I'm saying? And I ain't got no time to play. So if I like you and I need you to be happy every second of the day. Damn. Women are liking this talk. Yeah, I don't want to stay on this.
Starting point is 00:16:35 But how are you going to give up the $500 million, though? Why do you just get to have a million like that? You know why? Because you can't take it with you. And it's also a lot of stress that sometimes people have to put up with digesting this. You know what I'm saying? So you might as well, you know, be mad in a Maybach. Now, let me ask you this.
Starting point is 00:16:54 I got to call some of my homegirls. I saw you posting. By the way, your daughters are all absolutely beautiful. Yeah. Great job with all your kids. Congratulations on that, kid. Absolutely. So when it comes to them dating, it feels like they're that age.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Like, what advice do you give your daughters now when it comes to dating? I told my daughters straight up, I said, check this out. Dad is like your best friend. I know what all of these guys want to really, really do. I'm going to school y'all to all the truth. You know what I'm saying? Like, y'all see, your daddy's a rolling stone, and I love y'all to all the truth you know i'm saying like y'all see your daddy's a rolling stone and i love y'all i'm and and this is this is just me right now you know and um but but when it come
Starting point is 00:17:34 time to start dating i'm gonna give you all of this all of the tricks of the trade you know and um but i'm gonna tell you this right now if you give you give it away, it ain't worth as much. It ain't worth. Y'all got to wait and take your time. And that's like the conversation to treat yourself like queens and don't do nothing without coming to talk to me. Now, what did they say? What did they say?
Starting point is 00:18:03 Dad, we love you, Dad, but we see what you're doing. We kind of want to follow you because you our idol, and we look up to you. I definitely told them, do not follow me. You know what I'm saying? At this point in your life, do not follow me. And, you know, I just said your dad is a unique individual, you know?
Starting point is 00:18:24 And, yeah. You know, I just said your dad is a unique individual, you know. And, yeah. I mean, the truth, just the uncut truth of what it is, is that, you know, your dad, you know, that may not be what you like, or you may fall in love with somebody like your dad that's honest to you. You know what I'm saying? What if when they're older, in their 20s, they bring home a 50-year-old man?
Starting point is 00:18:52 What would you say to that? I really would just go on who really would love my daughters. I really wouldn't go on an age thing, you know what I'm saying? Because I'm 52, and, I mean, I feel better than I've ever felt, you know, and it's a blessing, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:17 So, yeah, I don't really think, you know, once people are adults, you know what I'm saying? Like, if I'm, like, you know, dating a girl from college or something, then maybe think you know once people are adults you know I'm saying like if I'm like you know dating a girl from college or something then maybe you know we should throw up the red flag but we talking about if you got a you're adult you got two kids that's our choice and I'm definitely you know fly the most you know young boys yeah I mean yeah young boys or you know whatever it is yeah I mean I'm just like timeless I don't really feel or, you know, whatever it is. Yeah, I mean, I'm just, like, timeless.
Starting point is 00:19:46 I don't really feel time. Like, you know, sometimes when Cass be hitting me with the OG, I take it out of respect, but sometimes I be feeling like, oh, you think I'm not here no more? Or you think we can't wrestle? You know what I mean? What? When's the last time you got into a wrestling
Starting point is 00:20:09 and moved some furniture around? Don't say wrestle, Diddy. Say fight. Don't say wrestle. Hey, yo, when I get on you, though, for real, I'm trying to bite your face off. I don't be doing the same fighting. I'm more of a savage type of fighter.
Starting point is 00:20:22 When's the last time you got into a wrestling match? When's the last time you got into a wrestling match? What's the last time you got into a fight? And did you win? It's been a long time. Diddy don't have to do that. You pay people. You don't have to do that kind of stuff. His name is Love, okay?
Starting point is 00:20:36 Diddy does his own thing. He does not fight. It's Love. If I saw you fighting, I'd be like, yo, what's going on? Who not doing their job if Diddy fighting? It's a friendly fight. Not no real fight. Not no beef, but you know, sometimes you got to go for the trail.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Punch Embi right now. Friendly. I'd rather see. Not no beef, but you know, sometimes you got to go for the trail. Punch every right now. Friendly. I'd rather see y'all wrestle, to be honest with you. What? He said punch. I'd rather see y'all wrestle. It's more like grappling. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:20:53 More like, you got to stop. Why are you doing this? Hey, yo. Hey, yo, check this out. I'm unpauseable. You understand what I'm saying? I'm unpauseable. Do y'all think that I care?
Starting point is 00:21:05 No. With anything or with anything? No. Hey, yo. I'm unpauseable. I absolutely do. W.R. Tequila owned by a black man. That's right.
Starting point is 00:21:15 You know what I'm saying? Now, let me, let's go. I'm just saying, like, I like more hand-to-hand combat. Oh, man. You know what I'm saying? All right, we got to move on. Let's talk about the music. So.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Oh, yeah, and I'm not your uncle, though. For real, I'm your competition. I could be your daddy, you know what I'm saying? But I'm not like your Uncle Leroy. So you don't like Unc, you don't like OG, none of that? I just like love. No, I don't take it as anything, but it is 50% of people in they head that's really like, damn,
Starting point is 00:21:46 you know, what's up, OG? You know what I'm saying? Where it's like, you could maybe be a little feeble. Don't let these young niggas fool you. They be trying to motherfucking play you. You know what I'm saying? I could be in something and it could be, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:02 she 28, 30, whatever, whatever it be. His time is gonna come with the OG like he really disrupting something, you know she 28 30 whatever whatever his time is gonna come with the og like he really yeah yeah disrupting something you know what i'm saying so it'd be subliminal og in his in age hate in the industry you know what i'm saying so that's why you hop off the jet with the shirt off to let them know it's still nah nah nah i mean i'm i'm just fighting a good fight right now. You know what I'm saying? I'm just speaking my truth so I can have it clear. I don't like to not express myself.
Starting point is 00:22:33 So it's not like I'm taking it in a negative way. I'm just like, I'm here prime time. If I use on the court with Jordan, you call Jordan OG, he going to dunk on you. That's real. You know what I'm saying? So I respect the OG, but I'm not like an original gangster you know saying I'm just like I'm King I'm love and so it should apply now we see you know we're 80 of a day and you talk about fashion what was that conversation like oh did you see his fashion choices yeah no I wasn't on the phone with yay actually I was actually
Starting point is 00:23:06 speaking a lot of people don't know my fashion background but I'm the first african-american to win the CFDA award and it's the most coveted award in fashion no black man had ever won it when I did Sean John and Sean John was going on the runways it took me like four years to win it and I won it when I did Sean John and Sean John was going on the runways it took me like four years to win it and I won it and um so I'm not like I'm like a real real real designer you know I'm saying that has in that getting the CFD or what I had to beat Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors you know and so I was saying I was I'm getting back into fashion like I'm at my highest level of creativity my highest frequency so I'm getting back into fashion and I was just saying
Starting point is 00:23:53 that you know that the my quality and everything has to be like really really up to par because I was like I want Kanye to call me and ask me, please send me, you know what I'm saying, whatever I've made. Gotcha. And then... Like people ask for the Yeezys. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like the black Sean John Beloit is like that.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Yeah, yeah. I really do. The Yee standards. So I wanted to come back in because I felt like he held it down while I took a break from fashion. You know what I'm saying? He held it down. Virgil held it down to the next from fashion. You know what I'm saying? He held it down.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Virgil held it down to the next level. But, you know what I'm saying? I am me. And I'm the first African-American, you know, CFDA award winner. So my level of things have to be at a higher standard than my counterparts that I look up to, you know what I'm saying, that were able to take the baton and turn me into billion-dollar businesses from Sean John. But then I'm saying if I'm getting back on the court,
Starting point is 00:24:56 now I'm playing to make sure, you know, that's when you know it's hot, when they're calling and asking for the boxes. And so that's what I was saying. And then I was going to put out these T-shirts today, Kanye and nothing. And then Kanye, my boy. Kanye, my boy. Now, this is where he need the OG talk. Kanye, my boy.
Starting point is 00:25:17 White Lives Matter. Kanye, my boy, is a super, super, super free thinker. You know what I'm saying? And a lot of times what he means is like misconstrued. You know what I'm saying? And sometimes just, you know... You gotta stop making excuses for him, Paul.
Starting point is 00:25:36 No, no, no. No, I'm not making excuses. I'm just saying that if he did it, like, that's the way he thinks. And so, that's the way he thinks. And so, you know, and I understand white lives do matter, but it's not that. That was our slogan.
Starting point is 00:25:55 That wasn't our slogan to go share with nobody else. And so that's the only message. We don't have to condemn Kanye or cancel him. We don't have to go crazy. But at the same time, you know, saying you have to go crazy but at the same time you know what I'm saying you gotta be you gotta understand like your actions you know what I'm saying and so you know the action
Starting point is 00:26:14 of that you know I couldn't put out the Kanye and nothing t-shirt I just couldn't I couldn't do it on today and I wanted to put out my first t-shirt to tribute Kanye and I'm still do it I just need a couple of days to get over this t-shirt because right now we're the ones that are that are dying that's right you know saying that are incarcerated you that are left in poverty
Starting point is 00:26:39 not getting no you know any any any money for reparations. And on top of that, you know, flooding our communities with drugs and guns. We know all this, and they still not trying to break us off, which that's the next level we gotta go to. So there really ain't no time for no other lives
Starting point is 00:27:02 mattering right now but the tribe. You have to be unapologetically black and love your people and love your tribe first. If you heard something was going on, your ass would be running to your house first. You would not be going to your neighbor's house first. They'd be running to their house
Starting point is 00:27:18 first. We gotta run to our house first and we ain't got no time for like no internet, you know what I'm saying? Like white lives matter to put that up against the black lives matter now we need to be focused on ourselves let the white lives let them white life they self out let's let's black lives ourselves you know I'm saying right now and I don't think it's not the time for unnecessary noise wait you know him or Karen Owens you know I'm I'm saying? Because this is really
Starting point is 00:27:45 Candace. Candace. Karen Candace. She Karen Owens now. That's her new name. Diddy. Candace is too black of a name.
Starting point is 00:27:54 She's Karen Owens. All right? That's what I've always respected about you, the Jay-Z's of the world. Andre Harrell, God bless the day. Y'all are always
Starting point is 00:28:02 unapologetically black in y'all mogul journey. The problem I be having with Ye sometimes is he goes out of his way to seek white validation. I'm going to tell you right now, it's way too serious now. We sitting here, we like this. We less than 1%. Instagram got the algorithm. TikTok got the algorithm of just niggas just having fun.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Black people just having fun. Brown people just having fun black people just having fun brown people just having fun and everybody is starving at a level that that i don't think people know you know i'm saying that's really what's going on so it's just no time to do nothing but to shed light and focus on that you know i'm saying from as i said from incarceration to pot if somebody want to get a job How do they get a job like are you serious? You know I'm saying if you ain't on Instagram doing digital stuff There's no other job for you, but to sell drugs and you know saying scam or whatever it is
Starting point is 00:28:56 And it's just like like we can't be tone deaf You know I'm saying as a people and so to me it was very tone deaf But I'm not I'm not condemning my brother because to me it was very tone-deaf but I'm not I'm not condemning my brother because I like it when he's a free thinker but I just think that this time is the wrong time because we don't need to get distracted we really need to know what's going on besides Instagram what's going on in our communities that's right I want to talk about being an artist man cuz I feel like regardless of how big of a mogul you are,
Starting point is 00:29:25 you're always in artist mode. Does that artist hunger ever leave you? Yeah. I would say I lost my artist for like eight years, and like the last two years I really started to get it back. When I say I lost my artist, that's the artist, the creativity in me. So that's why I'm at a highly, highly creative zone. I want to send a shout out to all of the seasoned
Starting point is 00:29:46 executives and seasoned creatives I'm always looking for new creatives but I'm I am trying to poach people from you know some of the top companies that know the information that we need to know to be able to not just compete but to dominate you know wasn't because the liquor did so well you pivoted but the one time it was all about the rock and all about the leon and it was less about diddy the artist yeah i i um you know you know um the money had got to me you know i'm saying and i wasn't really inspired and, yeah, I was really down a road of understanding, you know, like high level corporate business at a whole nother level. And so it was like a time for me to learn more. But I was empty. You know what I'm saying? I saying i was empty i felt lost my frequency was down
Starting point is 00:30:46 and because i wasn't created and so i'm here to create and sometimes you have to you have to go and touch the money and touch it said to realize now that's that that's not that's not what i'm here to do you know i'm saying so artistically you know i'm i'm back all the way you know i'm saying as far as as my thoughts. And now even the resources. I used to just have picket signs. Now I got technology. So I'm just trying to make the highest art that I can.
Starting point is 00:31:15 And I'm very excited for Sean John to be back and for me to be starting that project. We need the Black for Laws. The Black for Laws. I still have mine. Now how has the project been coming along because i've been working on it for some time now yeah so are their songs confirmed do we have a release date yes i was in and just back to that question about just being an artist that's that's that's what i'm deeply into right now i have a new album coming out it's all R&B album it'll be out you
Starting point is 00:31:46 know I would say top of the year it'll be out and it's a all-on it's all on it's like the Super Bowl of R&B and it's just my take that's always been my gift which was making R&B before the business and entrepreneur stuff it was the way the sounds I put on my life the the chord changes, the experience I've had with Jodeci, you know, 112, Day 26, New Edition, Carl Thomas, Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, Total. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's home to me.
Starting point is 00:32:20 And so making that right now, and, you know, as far as my name being changed to Love and we're that right now and you know as far as as far as my name being changed to love and we in the love era I'm making the music that goes with that because I was also saying like my girls gonna have no music to fall in love to you know saying you know everything is just it's not vulnerable and and and baby making enough or you know it's not making me dance so i'm making r&b to make you dance r&b to make babies too to make love and why not just that so because i think it's needed now more than ever i think that the images and the and the frequency that we live in
Starting point is 00:32:58 is a very dangerous frequency for black people and all people you know i'm saying but for me i was doing it because as us as as people of color we were losing our african-american culture this is our greatest export ever which is soul music which soul music had everything from jazz to the blues to rock and roll to hip-hop you know i'm saying and? And so R&B is really, really important, not just a genre of music for the computers to give numbers to, but it's an art form, it's a feeling, it's a frequency. They got mad at you when you said R&B was dead, though. Yeah, they could get mad at me all they want.
Starting point is 00:33:42 They're upset about that one. Yeah, yeah, they could be upset all they want, because I'm always going to give you the truth. And when something is alive and thriving, Yeah, they could get mad at me all they want. They're upset about that one. Yeah, yeah, they could be upset all they want, you know, because I'm always going to give you the truth. And when something is alive and thriving, then it's alive and thriving, you know. When something doesn't have the resources, and Billboard has hip-hop going against R&B. That was an excellent point. Yeah, yeah, there's no way to compete.
Starting point is 00:34:03 So you have artists that are making r&b that are so sad because they not they don't have no hits the hits is what makes you happy you know i'm saying if you're just living in a a sad zone that's the only thing you know you know that's being put out but um and and so it it hasn't been alive because it doesn't have the resources to be alive. You know what I'm saying? It's doing the best it can, and the artists are doing the best they can. But the thing I was talking about was the way everything's being programmed and the resources. And I used to be bugging out, like, is there a conspiracy to just put out negative music?
Starting point is 00:34:43 There is, like, there is like I'll be There is a little conspiracy for the darkness You know saying the darkness is at a heavy heavy rate So why now because I feel I'm a matter frequency. I'm in my godly I'm walking in the spirit and it's best time for me to make the music because the purpose is bigger than the moment. It's not about me. I've left me. I'm into we. All of the people we had, an industry, an ecosystem of musicians, of writers, of people from the church, of emotions, of things that were the heartbeat of us. You know what I'm saying? And so when that musicality left and it started everything started to sound like computer beats i as a gatekeeper of r&b was like feeling like batman like it's time
Starting point is 00:35:35 to get back out there what are some of the things you'll be talking about so we know that gotta move on that comes from a real place but what other real places are you going to be discussing i have a song called kim porter oh that's the one with john legend yeah with john legend and baby face um and it talks about like how i used to wait for the sound of her voice six days and seven nights because you know we didn't have no you didn't have no social media so like your girl could really go MIA. Just disappear. Change her number. Whatever. Guard at the door and not let you in. You'd be
Starting point is 00:36:12 waiting as long until she was ready. And I'd be waiting for that call. That call. And then I would get that call. And I was, you know, with this album, it's about all of my experiences. You know what I'm saying i heard a version of that record and i remember when i heard it i was like that had to hurt yeah like
Starting point is 00:36:31 it had to hurt just to even make it yeah yeah i mean the whole concept for me was i wanted to make a record that you know i like to have my cake and eat it too i'm sorry but i mean i'm not sorry i i wanted god to hear this song and take it to and say i'm child i'm allow you to go visit him in his dreams you know i'm saying because he made this song that was so like beautiful and it's not a sad song you know i'm saying but it's it's a song about the type of love we all yearn and hope to have. It feels like you realized that you missed out when I hear that record. Like, I should have, this is who I should have married almost. Yeah, I never went through that feeling of, okay, I messed up. This is who I should have married.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Because we honestly, not everybody wants to get married. You know what I'm saying? You know, and for somebody to love you and understand that I didn't come I didn't come from that you know I'm saying and um because my father was killed and my mother didn't they didn't so I just didn't come from that so the time that we had the way it was was absolutely perfect was absolutely what I had no regrets you know i'm saying i spoiled her i loved her i did everything and me and her had the conversation about getting married so i i felt
Starting point is 00:37:54 comfortable with that so i'm not like oh man i messed up i'm like just oh man just like like my you know my best friend isn't here you know Who was your shoulder to lean on during all that time, you know? Who did you lean on? Who did you hug? Who did you call? Who was in your corner? What you do for everybody, who was doing that for you? Yeah, I have this problem where when it gets real, real intense,
Starting point is 00:38:19 you know, I'll isolate myself. So I was mostly it it was god god had to pull me through because i just had like locked myself in the room for like like a couple of months you know what i'm saying because i couldn't even deal with the reality that i had six kids out there that i had to raise i was almost like you know hiding from them trying to figure out okay what am i supposed to do you know, hiding from them, trying to figure out, okay, what am I supposed to do? You know what I'm saying? But, and the craziest thing, the person that I leaned on was her. Because I knew the spirit didn't die.
Starting point is 00:38:55 And I knew if I asked a question and know her, I would get the right answer. So that's helped me with everything I do as far as raising my kids, is the things that I've seen her do and I learned from her. You think you're going to be able to perform that record? Because recently you've been dedicating, missing you to her. You think you'd be able to do the record with John Legend and Babyface? Yeah, the record is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:39:13 The record is beautiful. I'm happy to say I'm going through my healing journey. And everybody that has gone through grief, I'm actually coming out of that. You know what I'm saying? And I feel good and I feel great. And I understand that I'm happy for the time that I got. I'm happy for the 20 years. A lot of times you don't even get that.
Starting point is 00:39:33 You know what I'm saying? And to have my girls, it's just like almost God is playing tricks on me because my girls is going to, and it's like I have two Kims. Yeah, they're like young models and very talented. Yeah, but they're just like their mother. You know what I'm saying? So it's like I have two Kims. Yeah, they're like young models and very talented. Yeah, but they're just like their mother, you know what I'm saying? So it's like. Psychologically, that's got to be like, ah, some mindfuck too. Ah, it's like.
Starting point is 00:39:53 She lives on. No, it was like, yeah, like God is the greatest. Look at this. Like God is the greatest. God just didn't leave me, you know what I'm saying? Like he left me with what I needed, you know what I'm saying like he he left me he left me
Starting point is 00:40:08 with what I needed you know what I'm saying and how were you enjoying that part of it the daddy I call it the daddy daycare the daddy daycare part I see you
Starting point is 00:40:14 dropping them off at school I seen you and you got fly you got fly older kids like they old enough to keep you in tune you know what I mean so how are you enjoying that
Starting point is 00:40:21 I seen you at the the other day at the chair game you know the chairing so how were you enjoying that part? I seen you the other day at the chair game, you know, the chairing. So how are you enjoying that part of it? Because that's a part that you didn't necessarily have to do, but now you have to do 24-7. I see you going crazy in the stands.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Yeah, that's why I'm here. Like, that's definitely one of my top purposes, you know what I'm saying? Even I do other things. It's my kids. It's my proudest moment. It's my most ball. I ain't going to lie to you. It's my most ball in this moment.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Absolutely. I'm gonna just say I could pull out 20 Maybachs, three helicopters, drop five million on the city with the magic of how I have raised my kids. The Coombs Cartel. And
Starting point is 00:41:00 how respectful they are and how kind and how generous and how they they are and how kind and how generous and how they listen and respect me. It's just such a blessing and to see their dreams come true. When I was on stage the other day,
Starting point is 00:41:17 I was on the stage with Christian and I was just like, man, this is incredible. He was killing you too though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to go back to that. He was killing you, too, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's, yeah, and I want to go back to that. He was killing you. I want to go back to that, that I'm not, I'm training extra hard right now.
Starting point is 00:41:33 He will not be out bopping me. The bop was a little fluid. He was floating. He was floating. You know where he got it from, but still. Listen, no, no, no. I'm taking that. He's in the lead right now
Starting point is 00:41:46 on the bop. He's about to kill the BET Awards. Y'all gonna be saying, Puff, you can retire now. And I'm proud of that. But I'm not going nowhere. He said he took
Starting point is 00:41:59 a couple of bops from me, but he said he got you, though, when I said that. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. How does Love Records differ from... I'm not leaving. How does Love Records differ from Bad Boy? I'm not fucking leaving! How does Love differ from Bad Boy?
Starting point is 00:42:09 I mean, Love Records is an all R&B label, you know what I'm saying? That's really dedicated to that genre of soul music. But I call it hip-hop soul, you know? So we're going to have artists that that that you know that actually you know really sing and um you know fill that void of love if you're driving down the way i remember driving down the fdr not fdr west side highway you know i'm saying and just with my girl and having a song to sing to her and it's like you know when you with your dog and you're singing like forever my lady yeah and you're like singing off key to
Starting point is 00:42:52 her she blushing how can where you doing that now what you singing to her now though you know I'm saying and so and there's nothing wrong with that because there's a code to how to make it. And you got to be in the frequency. And I'm in the frequency. And I want to take that challenge. Why not take some of the young artists and give them that 90s feel? Because it's like you did shit on a whole genre of dope-ass young R&B artists. You got the Ari Lennox, Summer Walker. What artists do you feel like are out good?
Starting point is 00:43:21 What R&B artists? Some of the list of artists. You got the list. Babyface has an album with um all women yeah um r b artists who are out now yeah the talking point she wants the list of artists that he's yeah we love us some are you because you did you did on a whole genre of new dope ass artists did he know a lot of a lot of youngins be like well he's not in tune okay okay you know what it is it's very important to clear that up. That was in no intention to shit on anybody. I'm only here to elevate you know saying and um When I was saying that I was I'm talking about the resources
Starting point is 00:43:57 I wasn't talking about like you're the singers are bad I was like you could have the hottest R&B record and no body will know Because there's not enough playlist. There's not enough money To really present you in the right way as a superstar you can't make videos to compete with hip-hop artists and Also making an R&B song of quality takes a longer time than hip-hop And and then the way the charts were set up the charts is designed for you the charts is where you get
Starting point is 00:44:31 yesterday's price I mean today's price was not yesterday's price am I saying yesterday's price not today's price you get that from the chart you go number one and then it's a new price but if you can't get to number one then you're not really alive you know i'm saying and so i was not directing it towards any artists because there's so many great young artists that are out here and i don't just represent um 90s r&b like like i can make anything and make it modern. So I'm excited for y'all to like, you know, hear the new sound. But of course, I couldn't go and do it without the young artists. I couldn't do it without Summer Walker. I couldn't do it without Jaquese.
Starting point is 00:45:17 You know what I'm saying? I can't say everybody's name. Did we read it for you? No. We got you. But I was going to ask you too, you know. Oh, you don't want to give up everybody that's on the album? Yeah, yeah, because I'm going to announce it.
Starting point is 00:45:27 You know what I'm saying? Ari Lennox is another one. SZA. I don't know if they're on the album, but those are great. Brent Fires. Brent Fires. I was going to ask you, you know, what did you think about, right, where you look at an artist, Mase, right, was upset for you for years.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Yes. Then down the line, he has an artist. Mm-hmm. And then recently, his artist is upset because he's basically said, allegedly, that Mase was upset for you for years. Yes. Then, down the line, he has an artist. Mm-hmm. And then recently, his artist is upset because he's basically said, allegedly, that Mase didn't pay him, and there was problems. Yeah. Do you look at that and be like,
Starting point is 00:45:52 that's just an executive, or is it one of those things where, like, I told you? No, I don't look at it like that. First of all... Because what he had a problem with you did. First of all... His artist said the same thing. First of all, see, I a problem first of all he is awesome first of all see I didn't do nothing to him so let's go back to the first the first of all the first of all is is there has been negative propaganda put out about me that's not true and has really stained tried to stay staying my legacy I've always been a person
Starting point is 00:46:29 I don't like to get in just talking people's business and things like that but not right now I have made it my purpose that when I come back I can't have y'all y'all y'all following me because I am here to be a leader and to give some direction. If you think that I'm a scumbag that would ever steal anything, my name is Diddy. Sean Combs.
Starting point is 00:46:54 I never took nothing from nobody a day in my life. All I've ever given is opportunity and more money than a person was making. So when I hear, like, or I see things, and I'm like, wow, this vibe that they got on me, like I'm Big Red or something,
Starting point is 00:47:18 I came here, I opened up the doors. So you're saying you don't steal from artists is what you're saying? Never, never, never. So how does a narrative like that happen with so many different people? Because people have this thing called the tap out button. When you get to a certain point and the money is running low, you got to run this hustle to try to find somebody to blame. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:47:48 I have all my receipts. And so we are going to do a special, a retrospective with all the artists. And we're going to get this narrative clear. Because it comes from different tactics when people want to get out of contracts and and a lot of people that speak on this y'all don't know the business y'all don't know what y'all are talking about so it's going to be a teaching moment of love because it is important i feel fight for your reputation i'm gonna fight for my reputation. I'm going to fight for the honorable man I am, the righteous
Starting point is 00:48:28 king that I am. I'm not perfect. You know what I'm saying? There could have been an accountant mess up on this one or that one, things that happen in the business. But me, actually, like, I'm running a hustle to get money. I started delivering papers at 12 years old.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I was a millionaire when I was 19. You know what I'm saying? And so I will be making sure that the truth comes out because that's not going down in my legacy. And to me, that's the worst thing in the world is a thief. The thief is the worst thing. His hand should be chopped. Her hand should be chopped off. His or her hand should be. That's the way I off his or her hand should be that's the way i feel about somebody taking something from somebody that ain't theirs you know i'm saying when you could go out and you could go and work for something and so that right there um i just just you know just in general you know the mace thing you know i did one album with mace one album how much money do you think i
Starting point is 00:49:26 owe this guy one album and then he became a fake pastor and went and conned people and then y'all gonna let him throw dirt on the god's name we going we i wrote each and every one and each and everybody anybody could come and step up bring your your receipts, but I'm not playing. I'm back outside, and I'm fighting back for us, and I'm also doing a little fighting back for me. You know what I'm saying? How much money does somebody like a Mace owe you? Mace owes me $3 million.
Starting point is 00:50:04 That's facts. I got the receipt. Second album, he gave money to do a second album never delivered did the album never delivered You know and I'm not gonna go back and forth with Mace. You know I'm saying I'm not going back and forth with nobody I'm just gonna if I'm here. I'm gonna speak up for myself. I'm gonna speak up for myself now You know I'm saying I'm not gonna have you think something that I hate. I hate a thief. I hate somebody that don't got, and I don't hate nobody, but that's with somebody that just got to take something that somebody else worked for just for their benefit and their fin.
Starting point is 00:50:36 I don't like that. So you're really doing a special, like you're taping a special to address these? I think Diddy just came up with that idea right now. No, no. I was more saying, you know, I'm going to use, you know, I have a very,
Starting point is 00:50:49 I have a very successful thank you to everybody for supporting Network. So, yeah, I'm going to go and tell my story on my network with one of my podcasts. And I'm going to also
Starting point is 00:51:00 get the artists that, you know, together to, you know, help me clear this up. What would the lot say? You know, like, I spoke to the lot. Yeah, I told the lot. They going to help me clear it up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:13 They know. I mean, people, I mean, the truth going to be the truth. But we going to get to the truth. As long as I'm outside, we going to get, not trying to start nothing with nobody. Mase, I love Mase. And I will tell anybody, anybody thinks I owe them something, show me the receipt. You get paid in 24 hours. Because sometimes there's accounting problems. Youace, I love Mace. And I will tell anybody, anybody thinks, oh, show me the receipt, you get paid in 24 hours. Because sometimes there's accounting problems.
Starting point is 00:51:29 You know what I'm saying? Well, we never really got a big check from Revolt, but that's nothing. That has nothing to do with it. No, no, no, no. I'm going to tell you what happened with that. You know what I'm saying? Your people at our heart, you know what I'm saying? I gave them the money and they kept all the money.
Starting point is 00:51:46 I believe it. They kept all the money. So now that's why y'all can come to me direct, and y'all get to direct. You feel me? I'm making a lot of changes. We take PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle. I really did enjoy being on Revolt. People miss us.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Yeah, if you come over to Revolt right now, you remember how y'all was saying, like, Revolt ain't paying. We being cheap. Yeah, we was a startup company. Y'all good now. Yeah, nah. I actually do a lot of stuff with Revolt on other shows, and they always take care of me. Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:17 And it's always a pleasant experience. Everybody there is everything smooth, flights, rooms. They might have a go-to, guys. You got to go. Damn, I got a couple more questions. No, no, hold on. And I want to say about this, this show,
Starting point is 00:52:31 this show is as big as it is because we're unified. And that's just facts. People always are like, how come y'all not on the boat anymore? So, yeah, so just make sure as y'all out there,
Starting point is 00:52:42 make sure the way you speak about the God, you just speak about it like from a place of knowledge and a place of receipts and um Yeah, what's new on revolt coming up? No, I mean Carisha, please and um She won last night. Listen, you know I love... Carisha, please, won last night. Wait, wait, wait. I love Carisha. She did. But it tied with Drink Champs. Diddy, you know that's some bullshit. What?
Starting point is 00:53:11 You made it tied. It tied. I thought it tied. Carisha, please, and Drink Champs tied for Best Podcast. They both won Revolt. So you paid for that. No, I didn't pay for that. Drink Champs should have won that hand down.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Yo, yo, yo, yo, I didn't pay for that. I'm going to... Carisha, and I love Carisha. She only got five episodes. How'd she beat Drink Champs with Best Podcast, Diddy? Come on now. Because it was the best podcast of the year. Hands down.
Starting point is 00:53:30 I love Carisha. Hands down, it was the best podcast of the year. No. But you know what? I get to drink champs. And a million dollars worth of games. And I feel like a lot of women podcasters don't get their just due. Best podcast of the year, Diddy.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Yes. Yes. Come on. Over Drink Champs, a million dollars worth of games yo daily on the beat hip-hop awards hey check it out don't be mad at me because i'm a winner all right don't be mad at me Congrats to the queen Congrats Diddy wanna No no you had One or two questions Real quick I do I do Cause I wanna go back To something That you said earlier
Starting point is 00:54:06 Because No because I think That people don't know this About Diddy When you said that You know What are you sipping in there Puff I'm just curious
Starting point is 00:54:13 Water Alright When you said The music got dark That's kinda always Been your thing right Because you've always I remember you know
Starting point is 00:54:19 The thing you didn't wanna Feel like you was being Blasphemous being on the Crossing the hate me now Video or The stories of you Making big change lyrics Cause they've been too dark So that's always Kinda been your thing Yeah I mean I truly believe and feel like you was being blasphemous, being on the cross in the Hate Me Now video, or the stories that you making big, change lyrics because they've been too dark.
Starting point is 00:54:26 That's always kind of been your thing. Yeah, I mean, I truly believe what you say in records, that you're manifesting. Music is magic, you know? And so I try to, you know, just say things that are positive. And, you know, I mean, tell the truth, though. When Biggie's telling the truth about something, it's the truth, but, you know, it's very, very powerful.
Starting point is 00:54:47 So that's the frequency I want to bring. And I'm not knocking the other frequency. I just want to be the frequency when you want to feel good, when you want to be happy, when you want to make love. And do you believe an artist can be blackballed? Because that's a conversation that's happening now. People feel like they're being blackballed, not being on the playlist, things of that nature. I'll say one of the biggest problems right now is the algorithm and the way the whole game is set up. The game is set up for, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:14 white corporations to actually, like, decide on what's hot and what's not. And this is a fact. These are white-owned corporations. iHeart is a white-owned corporation. Apple's a white-owned corporation. Spotify. Spotify.
Starting point is 00:55:43 You know what I'm saying? Apple is half, I mean, title's half and half. You know what I'm saying? Apple is half, I mean, title is half and half, you know what I'm saying? But title, if anything, would be the truest for the artist. But the algorithms that are set up is set up in the playlist. Those decisions
Starting point is 00:56:00 are being made by people that never made a hit record. So it's like Charles Barkley sitting there talking to Skip, whatever. Like, what is Skip talking about? How can Skip say he knows really what's going on? So it's like the way it's set up, who gets played, is basically based on somebody that's never been in the game, that's not in the culture, that's not outside.
Starting point is 00:56:24 You know what I'm saying? And then once it's in there, because they been in the game, that's not in the culture, that's not outside, you know what I'm saying? And then once it's in there, because they're on the playlist, then they go to the top because of the algorithm. You know what I'm saying? And the same thing as far as with radio being ran by media base. So it's just taking all of the soul out the music.
Starting point is 00:56:40 All of the soul out the music. But I just, you know, I feel like at the end of the day, the music but I just you know I feel like at that that at the end of the day like the real win so I'm coming up with just different other ways and platforms to distribute music and to digest music you know saying cuz right now is is it's lifeless it's not really you're not getting goosebumps you know I'm saying I was gonna ask why did you find it important to take away you know cuz everybody's was releasing records on Friday, right? And you said no more of that.
Starting point is 00:57:08 You're not releasing records on Friday. You're going to release a record whenever the hell you want. Yeah. Why was that important to you? Because that was just so crazy that they was able to actually bamboozle and make people follow these orders. Y'all don't even know who these people are. Do y'all know who's running the playlist? Do y'all know who's running the playlist? Do y'all know who who's feeding you the music to your phone?
Starting point is 00:57:29 You know what I'm saying? And it's making you whack because you you you doing whack TikTok moves. You know what I'm saying? You're not being yourself in the record that you chose. You didn't even choose. You know what I'm saying? And so then there's quality records that That also when they talk about a certain level of frequency. They don't even get considered They don't even play that frequency, so they constantly bang you with the frequency of death Destruction and darkness and depression and so I'm coming with a higher frequency And I'm not following none of their rules. And if they don't play my stuff, then I'm coming at them like they taking money out of my kids' pockets. I'm not playing with them.
Starting point is 00:58:12 This business of music is a rough business. And they playing rough and I'm back outside and they going to play my stuff. I ain't going to be calling them, begging them nothing. Because I don't even know who they are. What if they just don't like the record? Can you accept that? Yeah, I could accept if you don't like the record. I could accept if you don't like the record.
Starting point is 00:58:34 But they gotta give it a shot. Yeah, I mean, you don't have to give it a shot, but you can't play if the people's calling it a hit. You can't like, just like, are you not going to play my record because you don't like it. I'm like, who are you?
Starting point is 00:58:49 Yeah, I've never liked that. I've never liked one person deciding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm definitely here to disrupt the system for all of the great music that it doesn't have like a platform. I want to make great music cool. And another thing,
Starting point is 00:59:02 I'm here really to also deliver a message to New York artists. New York artists, we are in last place. We have to press the hard reset button and get back to being us. I love that we know how to rap on trap beats. I love that we know how to rap on drill beats from London. But what are we rapping on that's coming from out of this city? You know what I'm saying? And I don't want to sit back and watch my city just stay in last place
Starting point is 00:59:31 and keep on following what everybody else is doing. We the swag. We the alpha. You know what I'm saying? The alpha and the omega. We started it. You know what I'm saying? And no disrespect to nobody else, but we should be competing.
Starting point is 00:59:51 We should be competing from from New York in a way where you have to figure out, OK, this was going on. That's what's going on. How am I going to produce something that makes our people move so we could do us? Who's keeping you in tune with New York? Is it Ivy? Yeah. Ivy Rivera. yeah yeah i i was keeping me in in tune with new york and then groovy lou and then just you know me and just my son's day i will say that puff definitely makes call he calls the djs he's on top of him he facetimes him he he ain't and executive the billionaire executive that's sitting on his hands he's out there working yeah i love this i love this i love music and i'm blessed i'm i'm in a point of gratitude just in my life right now. I'm walking in a spirit and a frequency that I invite y'all to walk in. That's in gratitude of what we have right now and where we came from
Starting point is 01:00:35 and how I'm actually looking at y'all and we here and we're doing what we love and we have power to make changes. And so I'm walking in that gratitude i appreciate y'all interviewing me always giving me a platform to speak you know being partners with me and me i mean working with me with revolt next time hopefully we'll be you know we'll be partners you know i'm saying because i think it's it's good we all can't work together for us no disrespect to the white corporations, but there's some black corporations that's going to be built. So we need the best of the best to be rocking with us.
Starting point is 01:01:10 But yeah, man, it's a blessing to be making music, have a hit record, have my son have a hit record, and to be talking to you guys where my life isn't in turmoil because sometimes you come on The Breakfast Club and your life could be in turmoil. I'm happy and I wish everybody the best and I'm here to change the world and and to help save the black race I see God on you even when I saw you at other Potter house man you know when you went up to the altar I just was like there's something happening with with mr.
