worse than what I say. I've never talked shit about you. Don't fuck with them either, though. For one, you're a young black woman, and you're a mother. You're from the hood. As am I. All of those things. You feel me? So I can't really say I don't like you.

I can't even act like I don't like you, because I do. I just don't agree with everything you say and do. That's it. What you don't agree with then? What you just said you didn't even say and you did say. You was like, fuck a lot of niggas. I ain't say that, though. You did say that. No, I say no idea that was behind the scenes

I play with y'all heads. I like that. Y'all not they take, I feel like people take the internet too serious. That's why I be messing with y'all. Yeah. I play with y'all heads. I like that. Y'all not going to really know what's going on.

Y'all just, y'all believe anything y'all see. I don't believe everything I see on the internet. I be like, man. That's real. This got to be fake. I be like, man, I don't believe this shit. Until I see the proof, then I be like, okay, I believe in it. I believe that because you don't even like Hellcats for real.

Who don't? Yeah, I do. I don't believe you. Why not? Why? You told me you lie all the time, so why should I believe you from now on? You don't like hell. I do.

I tell the truth, but you're going to know when I'm lying. See, I tell people when I'm lying. I be like, yo, believe me even when I'm lying. And when I lie, I like to tell people I'm lying. See, I just told you I was lying about that stat. Okay. I'm too cheap. What the hell are we talking about?

With a lot of eyes on you, you know, you basically, you know, you have a lot of, like your fan base done grown so much. You got high school, middle school,

a bunch of, you know, a bunch of kids looking up at you. Do you ever feel a way about seeing little kids online reciting

your lyrics or like, you know, for this past Halloween, a lot of moms dressed their daughters up as sexy red. You know, how do you feel about, does that make you feel a way?

Because you're not obligated to be anybody's role model, but do you feel a type of way about it? No, I feel like that's what's up. Because when I was little, I mean, we looked up to the older girls and stuff. Even the ones that was bad. Just because they do bad stuff, that don't mean, like, I don't know. They are a bad person. Yeah, like, they ain't no bad people. We still looked up to them. You know, they was probably talking crazy. They don't mean like, I don't know. They bad people. They are a bad person, yeah. Yeah, like, they ain't no bad people. We still looked up to them.

You know, they was probably talking crazy or they don't mean nothing. They just fuck with my personality, I feel like. I think when you come from a certain environment, you learn not to judge people for what they do when they in survival mode. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't be judging nobody. I've been like that, though. I just let everybody do them because you never know what they going through.

So I just be like, maybe they did that for a reason. So so i don't be mad at nobody you got people from your hood leaning on you as far as like financials like yo rad i know you got it throw me something i just heard that somebody was in the hood talking stuff about me talking about i ain't putting no guns in the hood and i ain't doing this and that i'm like what i mean i'll be throwing block parties after having barbecue ice cream like bouncy house i'll be doing all kind of stuff for the hood. So I'm like, that's crazy to me. Why would he want you to put guns in the hood? They think I'm Napal Tech.

Y'all better get it like I got it. Yeah. Rich Baby Daddy, was your verse actually longer? Because it seems like it was short. Yes, it was. So Drake cut the verse? Yeah. And he cut pieces up because that beat wasn't even on that beat.

It was on another beat and I had did a verse like a 16 boy and probably a little hook and then he cut it up chopped it up he put two different songs together actually really yeah it was two different songs that should have been your song I should be yeah I just think it would have took off more if it was from you. It's a number one record. I don't. It's a number one song. It's a number one record. I think Drake made it take off. Shit. Yeah, I know.

I like the record. I love the record actually. I be seeing y'all listen to it. Oh, you saw that? Yeah, they be turning up. They been that ass over here. Did you see the conversation we had about your lyrics, right? And I was saying that every generation there's a woman rapper who pushes the

boundary of lyrics like you're not really doing nothing different than lil kim was doing or even salt and pepper in the 80s like everybody was considered edgy for their time that's all i'd be saying like people be getting on me but i'd be like and then i'd be like why is that the only thing y'all heard when i say something about a coochie? I talk about all kinds of shit in my song. They take the coochie part and just, that's all she's talking about. Like, what? That's all y'all got from that? I be saying all kinds of stuff in my song.

I mean, to be fair, the hook is called Pussy Pink, Booty Whole Brown. That is the hook. That song was strictly about pound town, so that's nothing. Yeah, but you're saying you have other songs in your catalog where you're not just talking about the country. Yeah, so I'd be like, why do y'all think I just rap about that all day? I don't understand. If that's the only song somebody's heard, I can understand why they would come to that conclusion.

Do you have a favorite song so far of your own? Pound Town. Pound Town. Because it got me out the trenches. Yeah. Pound Town got you out the trenches. I love it. I knew it was, though.

When I recorded, I came out the booth. I'm like, this the one. This is going to get me out the hood I love it I knew I knew it was though I when I recorded I came out the booth I'm like this the one this gonna get me out the hood I told everybody I told him that so when your team heard that hook what was your team's thing like my pussy pink my booty what was that was everybody was laughing we was all in the studio laughing because I was freestyling yeah and then they was like be serious like this ain't serious you ain't serious be serious and you was like this is gonna be it I'm like this they gonna like it they gonna. Like, this ain't serious. You ain't serious. Be serious. And you was like, this is going to be it. I'm like, this, they going to like it. They going to fuck with it.

Trust me. And they like, no. They wouldn't believe me. So who put it out then? Because if they didn't believe it, I know they was like, we not putting this one out first. They finally did after so long. Because I was like, man, when is we dropping pound town? Like, let's shoot the video. They kept making me shoot other shit.

And I'm like, let's do pound town. They was making me do all kind of other stuff. And then they finally just was like, all right, you so passionate about this song. We going to drop it and let's see what it do. Took the fuck off. Took off. I said, I told you. I knew it.

And from that point on, they got to listen to you. Yeah, but they was already listening to me before because, like, I'm with an independent label, so I can make my own decisions. Mm-hmm. Good. But that song, they was just like, mm-mm. But now they be like okay she strategized she know what she talking about

she know what her people like now people said that you leaked your sex tape on purpose because of pound town you wanted them to show you wanted to show what color it was no that was the wackest video bro I was tired I'm fat pregnant didn't even feel like doing shit on there so that's why I'm like

I think you should tell people what happened so it don't happen to other people. I just did. You said you just threw the phone and it...

Okay, this is what happened. It was on Instagram, like a little short clip video. Like just making it on Instagram and saved it to the phone. Then threw the phone, but the video still was on my screen and then through the phone and it got accidentally pressed like that like sent to public yeah like who gonna do that on purpose i was like what and this was the wackiest video like y'all really don't want me to post the real ones now i turns up i don't think that you posted it yourself i don't think you looked at yourself because you leaked it yourself because it took you a minute to post again.

Like, you didn't go online or go live until like a week. I was hot. It was a minute. I was hot. Yeah. Who was you mad at? Yourself? Just mad at yourself?
