Have you ever listened to those true crime shows
and found yourself with more questions than answers?
Who catfishes a city?
Is it even safe to snort human remains?
Is that the plot of footloose?
I'm comedian Rory Scoville,
and I'm here to tell you,
Josh Dean and I have a new podcast
that celebrates the amazing creativity
of the world's dumbest criminals.
It's called Crimeless,
a true crime comedy podcast.

I know he has a reputation, but it's going to catch up to him.
Gabe Ortiz is a cop. His brother Larry, a mystery Gabe didn't want to solve until it was too late.
He was the head of this gang.
You're going to push that line for the cause?
Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it.
When Larry's killed, Gabe must untangle the dangerous past, one that could destroy everything he thought.

Playing Along is back. I sit down with musicians from all musical styles to play songs together
in an intimate setting. Every episode's a little different, but it all involves music and
conversation with some of my favorite musicians. Over the past two seasons, I've had special
guests like Dave Grohl, Leve, Mavis Staples, Remy Wolf, Jeff Tweedy,
really too many to name.
And this season, I've sat down with Black Pumas,
Alessia Kara, Sarah McLaughlin, and more.
Check out my new episode with John Legend.
I feel like, in a lot of ways,
our careers are paralleled in some ways,
but they just never intersected for some reason.
I know.
Listen to know.
Nora Jones is playing along on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, everybody. It's Chuck and Josh from The Stuff You Should Know podcast, and it's that time of year again when we knuckle down to do our annual holiday episodes.
We collected our best past classic holiday episodes and compiled them into a 12 days of Christmas toys playlist that the whole family can enjoy.
That's right. Maybe you missed it the first time we detailed the history of Beanie Babies, Monopoly, or Yo-Yo's, and a whole lot more.
So listen to the 12 Days of Christmas Toys playlist on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hold on. Every day I wake up.
The breakfast club.
You're all finished or y'all's done?
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy.
Just hilarious.
Salameen the guy.
We are the breakfast club.
Lauren LaRose is here as well.
And we got a special guest in the building.
Papoose, Papoose.
What's going on?
Peace.
What's up, brother?
How you feeling, man?
I maintain it can't complain, man.
So you're up here in a long time, which is strange for Papoos.
I don't even recognize this room.
No, this is new.
This is good.
Yeah, this is crazy.
Papoose was the artist that usually didn't call, but always came up and said he had a record.
He had an open door policy.
He had an open door policy all the time.
That's a fact, man.
And I think since we moved studios, Pap didn't know where we were, because he ain't, we didn't see him in the long time.
No, that's a fact.
Actually, I think it was before you came aboard.
For Lauren McCain.
The last one was here.
Yeah.
How's everything going, though?
Everything is great, man.
See, you just celebrated your day.
your daughter's birthday the other day yeah i did
mcdonald's party yeah she turned seven years old that's nice man beautiful thing man enjoy they get
big fast happen so fast man you know i'm saying so yeah i'm saying so yeah you you should
have been did bores on wheels you know what i did that's a fact that's a fact what is bars on wheels
first of all yeah so bars on wheels a journey to save hip hop man it's me basically taking what i was
doing on instagram to the next level i mean so sometimes when i post the videos and me driving in
the car rapping some people go in the comments they'd be like okay but where
going so I'm like you know what I want to see there you go so I'm on a journey to
save hip hop I'm saying so that's that's the name of the project man and I didn't want to
just do it as an album I wanted to do it as a short film and just do something that was never
done before you know you always pride of yourself on just being a pure lyricist and you know
everybody likes to do the melodies and the vibes warding the bars what do you think lyric first
rappers need to do to stay culturally relevant without compromising the craft I think just be
Be themselves, man.
I think nobody could do you better than you.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you're the only one with your DNA,
and you got to utilize that.
Sometimes people try to go outside of themselves,
and you're cheating yourself
because you could have just been yourself,
and you never know what the outcome could it be.
So to answer the question is just be yourself, man.
So when you write today,
are you just trying to outwrap everybody,
or are you just more focused on saying something meaningful?
Because you've always said meaningful things in your lives, too.
Nah, man, it's just I studied the crap.
I practiced my craft so long that it comes,
out like that pause you know what I'm saying um I'm not trying to out rap nobody it happens
naturally you know what I'm saying to be honest is there a lane for that now um what you mean
lyricism in in rap yes always it's it's timeless okay so who would you say that that you look at that
now and says okay I see what they're doing because before you would see an artist like a naz
a j and you could say a Kendrick or drake but in the new generation who do you see that's like
oh he's that and can still make hits and still do the same thing right well it's a kid
to stand out i never can remember his fucking name man every time i'm in front of the camera they
ask me who i like and this nigga's dope as hell but nobody don't talk about him but i'm gonna get his
name um this that kid um i like i like a i like a couple of the young artists i like i like what
you call it man i like the girl um what's the girl name that be rapping that you that you be playing
sometimes no the other one uh she dope as hell i think um mellow brook mellow brook yeah yeah
i like her energy i like um what's the kid out of new york name man
I can't remember their names, but I like a couple different...
The bunch of lyrics is Ruben Vincent, you know, Marco Plus, Chris Patrick.
Like, these dudes can really, really rap.
I mean, like I said, it's timeless, bro.
It's timeless, my opinion.
It ain't going to way.
Now, I know the project is all about saving hip-hop,
but at the end of your visual, you basically flip it where it's like you can't save hip-hop.
And one of the things that you show without giving too much of it is
the conversation around, like, you know, the drugs and things that infiltrate.
infiltrated the culture.
So, first of, I guess, you know, obvious question is, why would you, why include that?
And then second question to that is, if we can't save hip hop, then what's your real mission?
Like, how are you?
So, you know, I think that played a major part to the demise of our culture, about hip hop,
you know, rest of peace, to guys like Mac Miller, young artists who was just dying from drug overdose.
I think all of those things, man, where they glorified using drugs and you got kids ODIN on it.
So I just wanted to shine a light on that and create awareness to talk about it.
And as far as at the ending, when I said, you know, can't save them, you know, you got to watch part two to see the, to continue to get the conclusion of that.
But that's how I feel sometimes, man.
Like, when I say I'm on a journey to save hip hop, I'm a part of the culture.
Like, I live this for real.
So anytime I step in front of the microphone, that's my goal to elevate the game.
But it feels helpless sometimes, man.
You know what I'm saying?
So how do we change that, right?
because of course hip hop took a turn, right,
where the sellers became the users and that whole thing,
but it was still a place where there was negativity in hip hop,
which kind of hurt hip hop, right?
It didn't have to be OD and brothers get into jail,
but I felt like there is a strong line of negative and positive
when it comes to it.
You feel like that positive is not being heard anymore?
Nah, it's not even that.
I just feel like, you know,
I feel like negative and positive exists in life, period.
Sometimes people put too much on hip hop
Like they got to stop
And if a cat gets
If a cat gets stuck in the tree
All these rappers rapping about cats
Getting stuck in the trees
This is why this happened
You know what I'm saying
Like I feel like people blame hip hop
For things that actually go on in America
America has a problem with violence and all that
When hip hop was positive
I seen negativity going on
So I don't blame hip hop for those things
Actually I feel like hip hop saved a lot of lives
You know how many jobs
Y'all wouldn't even be sitting here
That's right
Right.
That's right.
So when people like to blame hip hop for negative things, you know, I don't look at it like that.
I look at it like we have those issues living in this country, period.
I saw Robin Roberts ask 50 that about the Diddy Doc.
She was like, is this an indictment of hip hop or something like, well, hip hop got to do it.
Nothing.
Right, right.
Yeah.
See, they always dragging hip.
If you notice that.
And I think no other genre.
No.
I think part of the reason why that happened is because they don't like that, you know,
black billionaires and millionaires are being made out of this.
So I think while we got our own kind putting hip hop down so much.
they need to be aware of that how was your perspective on the streets change
now that you're you know older and just more reflective you know as soon as you
walked in and be wanted to remind you of when you used to put hands on people
you know i didn't say i did say it like that you did no no no i said
yeah i said that's pat who says that it's nothing to do with pap i was
completely different you're going to be on world what was your question i am
how was your perspective on the streets changed oh when you say streets changed what
you mean though just in uh just being just being just being just being just being
an older person can reflect on
you know how things used to be
things we used to glorify that's a fact that's a fact yeah
I respect it man I respect and I love grope I think
it's very important um I embrace it
I'm all about positivity bro bro you know I'm saying
if you look at me you know me you see me like NB said
I got my history but when they really put the light on me
I said what black love
something positive man I don't wear that
the street shit on my sleeve I don't need to
you know I'm saying I always showcase my talent
you know what I mean
and something positive
about uplifting our people
so if you could speak to these young men
who idolized discrete life
what would you tell them
about the real cost
of that life stuff
I would say don't do it
it's not worth it
you know what I always tell
my young brothers
who I see in the street
and I always try to point this out to them
you know look at you
look around at your crew
and I got to be honest with them
all y'all are not going to make it out
you know how many
you know how many individuals
I grow with when I was younger
they're not here no more
I'm sure you got homies like that
they literally lost their lives
and at the time when y'all was together
y'all was hanging out y'all was running in the street
you never thought that they would be gone
so I always tell them you look around
one of y'all or two or maybe three y'all not going to make it
it might be you so
if you think that's worth it
continue in the street but it's not worth it
bro so you know get out of that
you mentioned black love earlier
I know Clarissa's here as well
but I wanted to go back to that time
I wanted to go back to that time period because I feel like for the longest time prior to your relationship now, you and Remy were like the emblem of like black love, positivity, and then everything just switched publicly.
And I know you talk about even in hip hop like, you know, how things are thrown on hip hop and thrown on us negatively.
When that moment was happening publicly with you and Remy, what was Papu's feeling because it was so positive for so long and it kind of just changed everything.
What were you feeling as everything started to, you know, happen online?
It was corny.
It was corny.
It was always corny to do social media.
I'm saying?
Who wants that?
Who wants to be a part of the circus?
So I just felt like it was corny.
You got a tack for black love early on.
Wow.
Somebody said it.
No, you did.
No, we used to have conversations about what love and why we show love.
And we had, you know, behind-the-scenes conversation.
But you got to attack for it.
When you got attacked.
for why did you think you got a tack for showing and expressing love to the individual you were with like why do you think that happened and why it's a couple going it's a couple of different things so initially um when she became incarcerated they was killing me he was like yo he's holding her down he's an idiot he's dumb all this bullshit right i ain't care though because that's that was my real life at the time and then as it progressed one time double excel had reached out to me and it was like yo we want to follow
you one day and document your journey like what's going on with you and they followed me to
the supermarket I went and got groceries for her you know what I'm saying then I went on the
visit brought the grocery they set on the visit with me and they put out that article when
they put out that article it kind of changed the outlook kind of changed for for a high
second everybody was like wow they couldn't believe it and it was cool I kept going
but what you kind of talk about is on we did on love and hip hop and yeah yeah well you
had mixed it was mixed you know I'm saying like the women was
embracing it. But I go through the toad booth
and I go get a dude my money because
they ain't have the um. Easy pass back.
Right. And he'd be like, oh man, you're fucking on my
household, man. My woman told my
by being a good man. Yeah.
My woman told me I need to be more like you.
It's the change.
You know what I'm saying? So the dudes was always
hating, but the women, older women, all different
age groups, they always embraced
it. And then you did your own
spin-off, the black love spinoff, which you
guys had more creative control over at the time right yeah why so if you felt like kind of the
tide was changing when you guys got on reality TV why was it important for you to do that like
second installment because um you know the opportunity was there to show more of us you know
when you're on loving hip hop you just got like a segment you know what I'm saying so it was just
that and um people wanted to see more of us at that time so he's like all right cool let's do it
I think we did the holiday special first and then um it went from there but um
going back to what you were saying earlier like when I first shot it I was like oh they're about to
kill me man when this shit come out because people never saw that side of me you know what I'm saying
but it was surprisingly people embraced it I think the world was tired of seeing our culture
getting put down drinks getting thrown on each other and just the the bad stigma on our relationships
you know what I'm saying you ever regretted at all putting that much of your life on camera I don't
I don't regret it at all because it was real it wasn't like nothing was rehearsed nothing was
scripted people just saw what was going on at that time but you know the thing with it is like
I get it but now people are so
dialed into your life yeah so now there is no moment where it's like hold on let me figure this
because now they're like now you show me this you show me the baby you show me the one year old
party you show me I love that I love that I love that then when it's like when you say you know what
I need to take a break they're like now you can't take a break no no no I love it I'll tell you why
um see this is what happens with celebrities and I kind of said this before when it's all good
right when when when you're buying entire will career you're watching the TV show
y'all come into the performances the impairances the walkthroughs uh i bring you in the room
when my daughter is born you come to the wedding you see everything right okay and then soon as
something happened with these celebrities what's the first thing they say y'all don't know me like
that i want my space y'all don't know what's going on in my life correct so i'm glad that i gave y'all
an open book so when someone wants to lie on me you guys had been there all along y'all seen this
shit so that's all you know i mean i i i embrace that how much is too much to tell um we sign up for
this bro we sign up for you can't you can't want people to so you can't open the door to your
life and then want to close it when you when you don't do some bullshit you don't want nobody to know
what's really going on so that's what's happening with with these celebrities but i'll tell you this though
i got a new queen in my life man and she's one of the best things that ever happened to me i think we
know her do you think hip hop does enough to model healthy love and accountability
between men and women what you mean just in general like do you think we show enough
of those type of healthy relationships?
No, I think, honestly, and I don't want to do the soldier boy,
but I think after we did it, it became cool.
I felt like people were ashamed to show love to their significant other.
It was high, and then once, you know, our situation transpired,
everybody wanted to be in public with the significant other,
which is a good thing, and I was proud of that
because we need powerful black families to stick together.
To your point, though, you know,
that was a thing like they would literally be like don't tell nobody you got a girlfriend
i'm telling you you wreck your labels take your wedding ring up that was an industry thing i see
where you going like even when you when you're especially a major label you had to seem
available wow y'all don't want them to know we got the family structure you know what i'm saying
so i think it was always cool to hide that and rappers were scared to death to show it because
they don't want the side chick to know that they they got a wife at home so they you know but like
i said it became cool after that after us i think that hurt you
hip hop too because it didn't allow people to grow
and tell their real stories. You couldn't be who
you really were. That's right. Even me.
I kept in the buck with y'all. When they first
showed it and they showed the real, I said, they're about to kill me.
You know what I'm saying? But it didn't happen like that.
Now, there was one thing that came out of that. And you said
you wrote 90% of Remy's rap, including
conceited. Was that true?
No comment, man. You know what I'm saying? I wish her the best.
And that's what I'm going to say at. You know what I'm saying?
Like I said earlier, I never wanted to be a part.
of that but sometimes your hand is forced you know what I'm saying you got to you got
to do what you got to do but I wish you the best man I you know I mean I got it I got
an amazing best friend in my life right now and um we happy man can you pull up a chair
for uh somebody pull up a chair man somebody said you know that was a repressing
media it was a hard time because we know y'all yeah you know what I mean so it's like no
but y'all know us but sometimes people pretend like they don't know us that's what you get
I think for most people
like what happened like
I mean like I said
y'all was there every step of the way
y'all was there when I was riding up there
to the prison y'all seen me fighting
court officers getting thrown out of the courtroom
it was it was in the newspapers
you know what I'm saying y'all seen everything
how can I come to y'all and say
something didn't happen
y'all got to stop man
like come on
so that's I think during that time
well I know for myself I just
wanted y'all to fix it because I know
y'all so long and not fix the relationship just the friendship the parent to just fix that part
that's what that's that was the most important thing right that that takes time like it's it's a
divorce it's not something that just happens overnight you know what I'm saying but people life
don't stop because of that you know what I mean it's papers it's time it's all this stuff that got
to happen but at the end of the day we move forward with our lives like I wish it like I said I
wish it the best um we got some great amazing things going on like I said it's my best friend right
here, man. We live in our life.
We've been together over a year and a half now.
It'd be two years next year in September. We had the end of the year.
Some of this stuff is just so old.
You know, it's so old to talk about, to bring up, to keep harping on it.
It's like they're separated. She got somebody too.
Like, don't act like it's just over here.
Like, she's happy. We're happy.
And that's it. Like, I don't know what the guy is.
Is it cordial? Is it cordial? Are you just like, no, I'm just, it is what it is?
I'm always culture, bro.
I'm cordial with everybody.
Come on, bro.
I'm not problematic, man.
You know, y'all know this stuff, man.
We've evolved.
Can I ask y'all question, man?
We've evolved.
Let me just go out and say, why when something happened, you act like, y'all don't know people?
Like, Envy, I know Envy like cars.
Envy got dogs.
He's a DJ.
He's from Queens.
So when somebody come over here and say, I saw Envy doing X, Y, I've been watching this
nigga 20-something years.
I never heard that next to his name.
Like, certain things they can't put on your jacket.
You know what I'm saying?
I know Shalameen, he speaks about mental health.
You know what I mean?
He's into different things.
He's into his relationship with his wife.
So, like, if I've been watching this man 15 years, like certain things on my hair,
Shalameen did that, man.
A rap, a nigger tell me a nigger was up here rapping and Shalamay told the niggins to his face,
you whack.
But I think that's why.
I'm going to say he did that.
You can't, hold, let me finish.
You can't just come with some shit left field that I've never heard.
20 years of me following this man career since he was a man.
on Wendy Williams.
Nah,
that don't go with him.
Ruma,
Papu's punching somebody
in the face.
I believe it.
I see him before.
Why you keep doing that?
I'm saying,
I've seen it.
I don't believe it when I'm seeing it.
God.
Wait, Papu's like, to your point
and, Tim, I know you mentioned, like,
it's old, but I think the reason why people
bring it back up is because we saw so much
and we knew you.
And then when everything happened,
there's claims of, like, you cheating and, like,
all these things.
But that's what I'm saying.
So, like, if it's a new artist,
I get it.
We don't know them.
All this years, incarcerated, that shit never been on my name, ever.
You can't just ask.
Yeah, I was out here with me.
I was coming to the old student of the ocean.
I'm going to tell you.
That is a good point that Pat make it because, come on.
All of them years she was incarcerated, we never heard of Pat.
All of a sudden, boom, out of the street.
All of a sudden, boom, out of nowhere.
A asteroid hit.
Like, come on, man.
So that didn't happen because she said she had, like, got into it with somebody over some allegations.
Like I said, man, I wish her the best, man.
Me speaking about that, it goes into like a hole and I ain't here to do that, you know what I mean?
And Clarissa, I know on your side of it, like, people always, like, push back because it's like, he's still married and he's this and you're like, they're separated, we're happy.
For you, trying to move forward in this new relationship, like, how tough is that when that conversation comes up for you?
I don't know why they act like people don't get divorced.
It's the craziest thing to me.
Like, everything, the most thing that happens in life, people act like we don't, we don't understand is breakups and relationships.
you can never you never gonna break up with your family because they're your blood you got to deal with
them your mama your daddy your crazy sister your outrageous cousin but when it comes to a relationship
that breaks up all the time marriages end all the time divorces happen i don't know why it's like
oh divorce is it's impossible when they don't when it's divorce filed public whatever the heck
that was it's like and we're together all the time every single day
fights,
walkouts,
at home,
cooking,
like,
I don't,
I don't know.
It's just,
maybe it's just,
it's actually this.
It's harder for the fans
that followed them to let go
than it is for them,
I feel like.
I will say this,
I will say this,
because I don't think this is wrong
towards anybody.
I will say this.
None of that shit was true,
man.
None of it.
All of that was Fugazi.
I come from a big family.
Like,
if you,
follow me and you're not just around for the gossip you see my daughter you see my
sisters you see my mother you see so many beautiful woman in my life who love me to death
you know i mean not only because i was there for them when they need me i fought all their
battles i don't just do it for the person that i'm with i do this for my children like i don't
i've had to put hands on my daughter's boyfriends to protect them i'm being honest i'm a
protector bro and the provider so anything outside of that it doesn't it doesn't go with me
You know what I'm saying? It's very impossible.
My grandmother has 17 kids, man.
So I got over 90 cousins, a very big family.
And my family looked to me for those things, you know what I'm saying?
As a provider and a supporter and all of that.
So it's hard to put that on.
It's like it doesn't go.
But I think the main thing I think it doesn't add up.
When the fans follow your life, and like you said, we don't know what goes on.
We only know what we see.
And then all of a sudden on Tuesday, we start seeing these tweets and these Instagram posts.
We're like, what the other?
But that's not how it happened, though.
See, that's another part of what I see.
I know, but you said it earlier, right?
You said, yo, Pat putting hands on somebody, right?
Y'all seen all of this shit
happened right in front of your face.
Yeah, and you're talking about it.
None of this was said when that's all this was going on.
See, y'all making me get into this shit.
I don't want to do it.
I got that green.
I'm trying to figure out clarity because there's like so many questions
because it's like one day, literally,
you just wake up and then boom, we're in attack.
But that's not what happened, though.
I don't know why y'all starting it from there.
Okay, so let's back up.
Because what you're referring to is the allegations that she was cheating.
I don't even want to, like I said, I wish her the best.
I got nothing bad to say about it.
But that's not where it's, let me make that clear.
No, but I think y'all, I think y'all, y'all just want to get amnesia.
I don't know.
I all y'all know where it started.
Everybody knows that before I came into the picture, now it was just these two in the picture.
Y'all know where it started.
I had nothing to do with anything as far as in when me and him got together, he was,
was already separated so y'all know
what happened before that so
what I got the green I beat rappers
up for Golo was not saying
I just don't know
it's Halloween
Calgary and available
all digital platforms out now
man get bars on wheels
and drink the safe hip hop on YouTube
so Amy you're trying to tell me that
when those when the day she
referring to you turn to me that's the first day
you heard about this you ain't see
hold on hold on a second you ain't see
everything that was going on for a whole year before that
the battle the whole shit I'm gonna tell you why y'all only want to start
I was trying to try and you said you didn't want to go there that's what I was
very confusing because I didn't even know how we know that was going on no before
before Clarissa was in the picture you hear rumors but then when you look at your
live you don't see any you don't see any turbulence so it's not like you see anything
or you hear anything you know okay you heard that I get it yeah I kind of
you held it down even when I heard rumors I would reach out to Joe just like yo just checking
on and making sure they just checking them good he was like
like, bro, they good.
So I didn't hear it to, but so, you know, with rumors,
because they say rumors all the time.
I mean, the rumors shal of man gay.
We know he ain't, well, I don't know, but there's rumors all the time.
It's a lot.
So it's like, when you didn't, y'all didn't confirm a deny, I'm like, all right, cool.
And then when that day happened with all the tweets, it still was like.
But before the tweets, you, y'all, we heard that Pat put hands on the guy.
In the battle right.
We heard that. Yes.
And even that, I tried to figure that.
I reached out to certain people that was facilitating things and no one would comment on.
So we can't, it's like, what do we speak to?
And that's why now you're here and we're asking you like, okay, so what was before that?
Because there were allegations that she was dealing with the Black, easy, the Black Captain God, prior to us seeing them together, whatever the situation is down with them.
Was that what was happening?
I mean, you said it yourself.
You heard that you saw allegations, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I'm not here to bash up, man.
I don't say anything about it.
And he's not the type to talk.
Papp don't do a lot of talking.
Like, I got a way bigger mouth than him.
Okay.
I mean, like, pause, no deal, whatever you want to say, whatever you want to put it.
but he's not like that.
Like, he's really, like, about, like, family and friendship and fixing things.
Like, he's really about that.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, us as women, well, women, we will tell it all because I love the truth.

I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville,
tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together
in the chaos that followed.
We have some breaking news to tell you about.
Tennessee's attorney general is suing a Nashville doctor.
In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight
and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos.
I was terrified.
Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever.
At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow.
But this story isn't just about a few families' futures.
It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all.
It doesn't matter how much I fight.
Doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this.
It doesn't matter how much justice we get.
None of it's going to get me pregnant.

like when like come to the truth
is like he likes to keep his stuff

privately you know what I'm saying
and respect this stuff and
he's always going to be like that
you know what I'm saying
he's not ever going to change even now
like this whole conversation
it's like y'all getting a lot out of him
because he don't do this
he don't because he's moved so forward
we're like just so happy and he just
whatever happened happened
we all know that you go
through things through it we all been through a breakup
before you may not have been through a divorce but you've been
through a breakup been with somebody for a long time you got to
go through your own stuff he's healed he's moved on
and he's just in a better
place so it's just like with that
when people put stuff on your name like oh
you want to defend it but even him he don't even want to
defend it because he like he is
who he is yeah I mean like I said
who wants to be a part of the circus man
nobody nobody be a part of circus when you ever saw
I was doing that
never happened before
I had a movie coming out
I definitely didn't want to be a part of it
my movie dropped just a couple days
on Christmas Christmas Day
I was like what
Oh that was
That's what I was losing my mind
I'm like what's going on here
So even me I'm like
Let me just get far away from this as possible
But I'm still with him
You know I'm saying so
I hit Clarissa like promote that movie
Now I'm trying to promote that movie
But it's like
You know okay
all right boom
I'm in a different
I'm in a different text bracket than that
to have to use that to promote my movie
my movie did well
it's still doing well
it's upon prime video if you haven't seen
at the firing side but
I don't want my name connected to stuff like that
I never have before this thing
with him you never seen
you might see me into a couple little beefs online
with a couple fighters and stuff like that
but you never seen nothing about like
relationship
um
um being with a dude
got somebody you never seen that i'm my type of woman if a man with me he with me i don't do
second place i never have i got two olympic gold medals 19 world championships why would i
have to be second place to uh to another woman for like what do i look like you know what i'm
saying so hey look man that's my thing of like bars on wheels the journey to save hip hop out now
produced by my brother sean two mouths by the way he did the whole project what is when what is
win is win a record label is it a sports agency both both when records is a is a record label and
um we do a lot of great things man actually we've been doing a lot of concerts so a lot of concerts
you see with a lot of your favorite rappers you might not know it but it's bob win records um
we got some amazing artists shout out to cadizia the whole family my brother big room and recently
we just did the big deal with clarissa you know what i'm saying with along with salita promotion
so we're doing a lot of big things i want to ask you know you talk about it before that papoos is
different than anybody you ever dated before.
What makes him different?
What's different from anything that you've seen before
as far as himself?
What did you see different that you didn't see anything?
I thought you're going to show you a picture.
It's going to be your fault.
I'm not talking about physically.
It just, he's like the cheat code to life almost.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like he's been at the top.
He's signed big deals.
You know what I'm saying?
He's had kids.
He's done the whole thing.
And then it's like when it comes to our relationship, it's just like he's already know what to do.
And he know how to deal with me.
I'm not easy to deal with it.
And I can say that because I seclude myself from like friends and family and everybody just keep everybody away from me.
Because where I'm trying to go in my life is so big.
It's like anybody getting my way even a little bit.
I'm like a dog.
I bite your head off.
He knows how to keep me calm.
It's the first time you haven't seen jealousy in a relationship because you are a star.
You are a world champion.
I have seen jealousy in a lot of my relationships, but, but not here.
It's probably because he both Pisces, his birthday, March 5th, March 17th.
But it's like, he's just so supportive.
I like that.
Like, he's a nice guy, but he also is a guy like that you don't mess with.
I hate a guy who talk like he can fight, but he can't fight.
Like, he can rap, but he also, too, can put you on your ass if you need to.
I don't got to, whenever I'm, when I'm walking with Peppers, like, he's my security guard.
You know what I'm saying?
I just be chilling.
I wish the motherfucker would.
I think both of y'all, you know, dominate in disciplines, right?
That demand extra focus.
Like, you need to be extra focus for what you do.
You got to be extra focus for what you do.
How do you support each other's greatness without competing for space?
Naturally, man.
Naturally, I've been a fan to her before I even met her.
Like, I'm a big boxing fan.
So when I met her, I was like, oh, shit, that's Mrs. Schills.
So the fan, to be honest with you, like, the fan in me is like,
damn wow I got to make sure I can help and add on because you know with dealing with knowledge
itself we always you got to add on you know I need to add on in many ways as I can but then when
I'm able to meet her and fall in love with it's like a whole different level of caring and um
concerns so I naturally want to see her win and I feel like it's the same vice versa
yeah I'm like a little assistant you know when he was shooting his video to bars on wheels
I brought him full you know I helped him change it to his police outfit I'm getting behind
the scenes footage.
I'm just asking me
do you need anything?
I'm more of like
people got to understand
when I come to a relationship
when it's your time
to have your time
that's your time
and when it's the other person's time
it's nothing wrong
with you taking the back seat
to your person
because like you're really right there
you're like you beside them anyway
but it's like
the better he do
the better we do
the better I do the better we do
it's a team thing
I don't know why
this whole relationship thing
I get it
you know women want to be pampered
all this stuff like that but I'm
in a lane and in the field
and boxing where I've always taken care of myself
when I say taking care of myself
get my hair done, get my nails done
buy myself the clothes I want
you know I've always been a lane like that
I'm happy that now he'd do a lot of it right
but it's still like I'm still going to take care
of take I'm still going to take care of myself
and I require what I required so it's like
oh if he don't get my nails now I'm not getting my nails now
like what type of crap is that
like I've always had my own and he got his own
and together we just like
just feed off of each other
like when he goes to the studio
he may be going to the studio for him
but I'm sitting back there
I'm watching him I'm like well I'm trying to
I'm doing my little rapping stuff too
so I'm learning
and then I'm like
hey I gotta be
when you get done with that well
let me go in here
and do this one
and it's like
some of the stuff I do is good
and then some stuff
he just was like
it's cool to have that
you know what I'm saying
and we do so much together
like
he hit the pads
like y'all always seem
holding the past
me, but that's because he don't want y'all to see
what he really working with why he
hit the bad. I've got to ask, no disrespect
Pat, right?
Oh, here you go. You issued a $100,000 open
challenge in December. Yeah.
I did that. Years ago.
How many rounds I got to make it
out around with you to get $100,000?
I got six kids. So how many rounds I got to make it
out? You said you got to win. I got a win.
That's crazy, right now. I don't understand it.
I thought I could run a couple rounds.
I know. What went over
everybody had with that? It was like,
these girls like well how much do I get
if I don't get knocked out how much do
I get if you know
I do okay it's like
we've given out participation awards now
I didn't know we did that. I got to win
you got to kick my ass
you know what I hate for is I hate how people
disrespect the science of boxing
like you don't play boxing
like you don't just get in that ring with somebody
you can die
yep that's what's going to happen tomorrow night
Anthony Joshua Jake Paul
like that really shouldn't all jokes aside
That should not happen.
You know, but boxing is in a weird space.
Like, boxing is in a space right now that if Lauren woke up tomorrow
was like, I want to fight, Clarissa, they'd be like, let's do a pay-per-view.
Let's do it.
Like, boxing is a weird.
It was about the sweet science, like you said before.
What's the craziest, like, because you announced that you got to do the four fights for your $80 million, right?
Eight.
Eight fights.
I like when you mess up and say 80s.
I like that 80s.
I always do it, too.
We were speaking in two weeks and then.
The last time I did the shoot was that, girl, it's $8 million, right?
So what's the craziest, like, hey, I think I'm interested in doing this fight with
Clarissa.
I saw that she has some fights that she got to get out the way offer that you've had come your way.
Like, who's the most random person that you'd never think of?
It's like a boxer?
Don't even got to be a boxer because now it's influencers getting in the ring.
Oh, um, I don't get crazy calls like that.
Like, people really don't want to get in there with me for real.
Don't play with her?
Yeah, no.
I don't like, you play with it.
I saw some of the Zeus girls trying to, you know.
They want to die.
No, the Zeus girls want to get trained.
Okay, because I thought at one point.
Dolly wants to get trained.
Oh, train, okay.
Who?
Which girl was it?
What you talk about the real fighter or the Zeus fighter?
No, the Zeus girls, one of the Zeus girls that was trying to act like she wanted to get in the ring.
And then it turned around where you were up there training somebody else.
I think you were training in Diamond the Body.
Who were you training?
You were training Diamond.
I thought that that started because a girl was acting like she wanted to get in the ring with you.
and you were saying that they didn't give you insurance
she wasn't going to do it
nah I'm trying to figure out
so this whole $100,000 challenge
has been around for like years
that's a fact
I think I talked about this
she had the whole deck and everything before
I got like a deck
it's going to be a reality TV show
like I got like a whole thing
so it's been a thing for a while
every time I mention it you get like a bunch of girls
who never fought
saying that they want to fight me
a couple baddies saying oh I love to try it
but can you train blah blah
but the only girl who's ever really like
tried to get inside the ring with me
and disrespectfully
was the girl I beat up on you
was the girl I beat up at the gym that one time
and honestly
if I can go back
to that time
sometimes I think in the internet
world everybody got such a big mouth
right because y'all can sit up in here
you got you got security at the door maybe you got
but either way it go
they can just run their mouth and don't
get touched they go in the room
and set their camera and talk about everybody
Call them out their names, talking about their fangs,
some of their clothes, their hair, and don't nothing happen.
The thing about me is, I'm a real fighter,
so I felt like I needed to make an example out of her.
And I opened the door, like, listen,
if any girl come to the gym or any girl want to fight me for the $100K,
you come to my gym, the fastest way to get your ass whoop
is to come to my gym while I'm training for a real fight.
That's the fastest way I had her out of there in 30 seconds.
We see it.
She looked crazy.
But it's like, if any other girl think that they're going to come,
I want to set an example.
Like, no matter where we at, listen,
I don't want to put my hands on you because I know what I can do,
but I'm not taking disrespect from nobody because these hands do fly
and up at heavyweight, I've been going to put a bitch on her back.
So I don't like people like that.
So it's like that was that reason that I did that.
And if I can go back in time, I think I'd do it again.
Hold on I want to ask you about your fight that you got coming up on February 22nd.
But what happens in the Jake Paul, Anthony Joshua fight?
I told Papp last night
I said, listen, I know
boxing is in a weird space
but I swear to God
if Anthony Joshua
lose to Jake Paul.
Come on, Clarissa.
Which I think there's
no way in hell.
Yes.
There's no way in hell.
Like, did you see what did
to Francis and Gano?
But I'm saying
if
if Jake Paul get his
hand raised over Anthony Joshua,
I'm flying to the UK myself
and I'm going to punch Anthony Joshua's
hard as I fucking can't do.
you better not
it's gonna be so like
one I don't understand how this fight is happening
it's like just like in my mind I'm like how
is this happening but the money
yeah the money but it's like come on man
come on like money how can you turn it down
they say it's some crazy shit you believe they get 90 million a piece
that's what they say
that's what they say the person is 90 million of peace
I don't know and you tease this what's the reason for fighting
if you make a 90 million apiece
I mean I made 90 million y'all not going to see me no more
it's over
You teased us a little bit, though.
We really thought that you were going to,
yeah, that you and Layla Ali were planning this together.
We thought it was like, come on, I told you that.
Me too.
I thought, we was like, oh, they're going to announce
at the last video, they're going to say, they fight in this date,
and then, no.
Yeah, I see you.
I would have loved that.
Damn, it was a good setup.
But you know, you know, we turned down 15 million, you know what I'm saying?
No.
Still nothing.
Like, no.
Listen, I'm fighting February 22nd against Franchon Cruz,
DZern.
This is our rematch.
French John Cruz is a great fighter, very, very, very skilled.
I think some of y'all on here, do y'all know Shadasha Green?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Well, hell yeah, French, John B, Shadisha Green.
Keep that in mind.
We want to erase history, but history don't erase, especially when it's in black and white.
That's like saying I don't got two Olympic gold medals.
But Shadisha got her ass with by Franchon Cruz.
And now I'm fighting Franchon Cruz.
And I think she didn't want this fight to happen between me and Franchon
because now it sheds light on.
you lost already.
Stop talking like you
undefeated and you
a star player
when you was warm in the bench
coach put you in
and you fucked the game up
you lost.
She made it on your ass.
Is she going to be one of those four fights?
She's going to fight you so bad.
And guess what?
She's going to get her ass whoop like the rest of them.
Shadisha, oh, she's all husky
and all that.
Man, please.
I know boxing for real.
And when she was 190,
I was kicking her ass.
So I don't know why she'd think
that, oh, no, she would.
like Paul and she's husky and she's like girls.
That's funny, man.
I'll shout out to laugh, man.
Get out of here.
You go, it's a confidence.
Let me just say it.
Oh, because how you deal with you all day?
I'm telling you, bro, I'm being honest with you.
I think, because she got people that love and support it.
Like, she do great things with children, all kinds of stuff, right?
But I think her haters, I think they're intimidated by her confidence.
I think it's a beautiful thing, man.
Just to see a woman that confident.
I hope the next generation be inspired to be.
confident. Like, I always walk humble
and she tried to get me out of that, but I really do
admire her confidence, man. I'm watching it.
I'm like, this is why they mad.
Y'all have a sparred? Just,
no. She killed me, man. Come on.
You know. You know what? You know what? I stay in my lane, man.
I stay in my lane, man. I'm not. I'm saying, I really
have to show you what I got for real. Because when I get
inside Doreen his spar, he's like, no name, no face.
Damn. So it was like, I love him dearly. Like, this is going to put him on his
ass.
He's going to hit him hard. He's going to hit me back for sure.
What I knew, Clarissa was really crazy when I saw her sparring with men and one of the men dropped you.
I'm like, oh, they're not taking it easy on her.
Like, she's really in there banging with it.
Well, I love that you brought that up, right?
And I'm going to speak on this briefly.
Out of 19 years, out of my whole boxing, out of my whole boxing time boxing, I've been dropped twice.
Both in a week of each other.
First week was by that guy, who you talk about, who gloves was worn and he barely had no padding in them.
Right?
and then the next week
when I fought my world championship
and fight against Hannah Gabriel's.
Those are the only two times
in my career where I was dropped
ever.
So now that we're speaking about that,
this dude that I sparred was
a nobody, right?
And everybody's somebody, but he was a nobody.
I already had pieced him up the week before
and I hate that people would think
and then, so you said it correct.
I got dropped.
I didn't get knocked out.
You know, from the footage that people
be posting, oh, I got dropped
and I was laying there.
One, I probably never been hit
that hard.
with like a bare knuckle before and that's and that's what happened but as I got back up I
sparred another guy four rounds Harold who was uh highly ranked at 140 pounds 147 pounds
and then when I got out I sparred the first guy first who dropped me he dropped me like in the
third fourth round he got out I sparred Harold four rounds and then he got in with Harold
and sparred Harold when he got out and he sparred Harold Harold said hey man
what's up with your gloves because you wasn't hitting like that last week we all had sparred
the week before so now that he said that i go up to the guy myself and i grab his gloves and i'm
like what the hell is literally nothing in them is it's like worn gloves it's literally no padding
so now me as a fighter who've been doing this all my life i don't spark against the biggest and the
heaviest man you can think about i've never been dropped wobbled or none so now to get dropped like
that it was like something with his gloves i don't have to lie about that person you don't have to
make no excuses it was a man you was telling you don't have to make no excuses it was a man you was you don't
No, but it don't matter, though, because since the time I was 11 to now I'm 30 years old,
I've sparred 95% men in my, in my sparring.
Papp have seen me spar dudes.
Papp see some of these dudes warming up.
He's looking at me like, he was talking about he a protector.
He's looking at the dude like, you're not, he's my girl, but I'll be in there.
Hey, they be coming with it and I be coming with it.
I send them all my sparring clips, because if he's not there,
But I'm like, hey, today was hard.
And then I, and then I sparta, like,
sparred a guy's next, like the next couple days.
Send the footage, he's like, damn, you figured it out.
Because that's what I do as like a, as like a fighter.
So don't ever just do going around.
Oh, he knocked me out.
He dropped me.
Everybody feeling sorry.
Oh, I got.
Fighters get dropped and sparring.
It's not nothing new to the game.
Just because I'm a woman sparring against some,
against a man.
And then it happened one time.
It didn't deter me from sparring other men.
That happened when I was going,
for my second world title
I got 19
She spied the dude
She pieced him up
He came back with some
Amazing new strength
He's from a different culture, y'all
He from a different culture
Him getting beat up by a woman
He was embarrassed
So him and his coach
Conspired with those gloves
And his evidence
And his people that was there
Who know about his gloves
So it's like
Me having to talk about
He's like, I'm not embarrassed
Because of that
I still sparred men now
I still get ready for my fights
I'm a 19th time world champion
And I've accomplished
more than that cheat will ever accomplish in his life.
I'm not ashamed of that.
So when they bring that up, I kind of just laugh it off,
but it's like, I wish one of these trolls
that be talking like that were really like
said to my face because I dropped their ass.
They'd be trolling you about it?
Yeah, I'm trying to tell you.
It's a man, guys.
What are we talking about here?
I don't know.
He don't be on X, but I'd be seeing it.
They'd be on you.
I'd be feeling.
Yeah, I had a totally different perspective when I watched that video.
I'm like, boy, Clarissa, she spars with men.
Because you're sensible.
and you're in reality.
These people don't be.
Some of these guys are so intimidated
that I'm just so strong
and so confident
and so great at what I do.
They're intimidated
that they think like,
dang, if I was to fight her,
she could probably beat me up.
That's intimidating for a man.
I don't go around like,
oh, I'll beat up these men.
What's up?
What's up?
What's up?
I don't walk around like that.
Well, you didn't say
you want to fight Keith Thurman
and who was the other person?
I forgot.
Recently?
Not recently, but over here.
No, so look, they asked me questions
and I answer them.
The question, a long time.
ago was who is a male
fighter I think I could beat in the boxing
match. I said Sean Porter
and Keith Thurman.
Why? I like their boxing
skills. They both big strong men.
I respect both of them. But when
I look at how they're boxing, how I'm boxing, like,
man, if I can shake and bake
and go to the body and do my
little stuff, I feel like I'm better
skilled than them. Am I stronger than them?
No. But, I mean,
have I really ever been stronger
than a lot of people? It's like,
strength is not my thing when it comes to a fight strength is not my thing it's about skill
precision and i and i know how to win but i got some power too but no i'm not trying to knock
everybody out like i'm a i'm a box them you know what i'm saying and move around and move my head
like i'm pretty skilled in all the departments that's why they call me the female tBE you
all better leave clarissa alone that's the fact when you fight your days is it going to be before the
or after baby after the baby i'll fight it before okay fight it before i want to get i want to fight french on
and then we can get Shadisha after
that'd be a great party
so what Franchine February

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I mean
oh she said that Savannah
bust her eardrum
and broke her nose
that's what she said
Savannah did
to her. What she think I'm going to do to her?
That's crazy. But I
say that to say, you say she's been
on my ass, right? And she wanted to get this fight.
How can you get a fight
and make a fight with me and you're
suspended? You can't fight nobody.
So was you really calling
for a fight or was you doing it for clout?
I think we're just clout. I think she
didn't want me to, she wanted to
stall me and make me not
even think about Frantown and keep all the attention on her
until she got through her little suspension
that she kept a secret from everybody.
knows you guys suspended.
Yeah, you're on Box Rec night now.
Go on, she ain't that big yet,
so she ain't going to be on no Google.
Damn.
Go to Box Rec.
That's where you go.
And on Box Rec, you're going to see
your Dacia Green Picture
and it's going to say,
indefinitely suspend it.
This is funny.

Little Caesar Arena.
She back in the red.
Is that her fight against Savannah Marshall?
Yeah, because Savannah bust her
ear drum and broken nose.
Oh, in the July fight.
Yeah.
You can suspend it for that?
That's what I said.
I said. I was like, I've studied boxing. I didn't know what it was. I didn't know what it was. I just was like, she suspended. But she put all the attention on her self, though. But let's not lose, focus, you guys. Papp just dropped the album, bars on wheels, a journey to save hip-hop.
DJ Envy played the music.
Hold on. I got more, too. I've been playing the record. For real? Wow. Wow. I didn't know that. Oh, that's love.

word yeah yeah he's a cool dude he really he really takes his craft serious he does
he's Moroccan if you tell him he's whack or you don't fuck with him but he can't come
up here right right he did what I did when I was trying to get on his leg and we had
But La Russell recently was talking about how he came up here and he rapped and it changed his trajectory.
And so a lot of people see that now.
So they want it.
I'm like, yo, introduce yourself.
I'm a man from London store.
Say what's up to Papp?
Say what's up to Clarissa?
We've known Armand a long time and he's a rapper.
His records are starting to take off.
He showed me his videos and all that other stuff.
And we're going to let him take a deep breath.
We'll be a rap.
Okay.
That's lovely.
You got the beat.
What was the other dude that came up here?
One guy signed.
It was Josh and...
It was Josh and...

He used to come up here all the time.
Yeah, yeah, Josh and Don Talov.
You need a beat, you, Acapella?
I sent you that beat yesterday.
Oh, okay.
I sent it that, yeah, we got it.
Yes, yes, we...
All right, let's go.
No pressure.
You can turn it up?
You want some headphones?
No, no, no, no, I'm good.
I'll leave the headphones matter.
Yo, it all started with a dream
I left home at 17
I come from South London baby
You don't see that on the screen
They used to tell me that you'll be someone that don't achieve
I used to tell myself that something that I won't believe
When it came from my family it really hurt me deep
So I locked myself inside the bedroom
Cry before I sleep
Told them that I want to be
What I want to be
But they rather me inside a cell or see the boy deceased
Lost both grandmas in six months
Why they leave
When that girl broke my heart
I was crying on my knees
But that's calmer because I've done the same to mum and now I see
Life balancing out life and really it's a beast
So I'm sorry mommy because I know you couldn't rescue me
I was fascinated by the streets ain't want me no degree
Imagine having you a child that speaks the way I speak
I'll probably go and lose my mind and turn my back on me
Crazy how I talk about myself like this so casually
Cause my self-esteem is low my trauma's got so mad for me
Couldn't figure out a path to take I found it gradually
Last time a girl she said
She loved me. I said actually
Love ain't satisfactory. I'm closer to
insanity. Every day a battle
I just want to see my family.
But I can't cry. I chose it's life. So I have
a seat. Everybody talking
about me in the street.
Okay. All right.
All right.
What you think, Kat? No, he did his thing, man. That was tough.
Yeah, yeah. Where you from? Morocco, right?
Morocco, isn't it? That's where my parents are from.
But he moved to London, isn't it? And that's where I was born.
I moved to Morocco when I was 17.
