Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Jess is on maternity leave, so La Ron La Rosa is filling in. We got a special guest in the building, his album comes out this Friday. Ladies and gentlemen, Tootsie's back in the building. Yo, what's up? How you feeling? What's up?

How you feeling, brother? I'm good, how y'all feeling? Bless Black and highly favored, man. He said something surprising just behind the scenes. He said he's probably the only person in his world. He's never been to a Diddy Free Call. Nah, he's not. He just got into the game. See how I did that? He just got behind the scenes. He said he's probably the only person in his world. That's never been to a Diddy Free call. He just got into the game.

He just got into it. That's why you don't give this man no love. I'm alive. The only thing I was hoping, because I just seen the last interview where y'all had the baby oil and shit up here. I'm like, I just hope I don't come in here and they got the baby oil. It's right there. You wanted to take it?

Behind the scenes, he said, I'm probably the only artist that F's with Charlamagne. And then as soon as you come in, he starts with that. Yeah, nah. Yeah, that's still my nigga. But you just got into the game. So you probably didn't get an opportunity to do it. Hell nah.

I don't know nothing about none of that. Hell nah. Hell nah. I don't know nothing about none of that. He staying far away. But Jaded, man, new project. That's right. Why that title?

Man, honestly, I was at a point in my life where I was just tired and bored with everything that was going on. And I felt like my music kind of was reflecting it at first. And then I kind of just sat and looked at the world. And I was like, the world kind of in a jaded space as well right now. Like, you know, everybody kind of tired a jaded space as well right now. Like, you know, everybody kinda tired and bored with everything that's going on. Ain't no music really sticking.

There's nothing that's really lasting, so I'm like, I mean, why not call the album jaded? How do you even make that kind of music anymore? Like, how do you make the music that sticks? I don't even know, regardless of how good something is, I don't even know if people's attention spans keep focused. Yeah, that's the thing, cause I heard some records this year that I feel like should

have really did it. There's some great songs out there, but I feel like the internet just done made everybody so equal. That's right. And it changed a lot about superstar status, so I don't know, man. It's hard. It's like a microwave type of industry like songs happen so fast you don't get to live with us on the only song that i say has lived for

a long time is kendrick's record that record has been here for the longest but besides that you don't really feel that like that nah yes i don't know bro it's weird right now it's hard to i mean because i don't know i felt like the uh like from the r b side i felt like the like from the R&B side, I felt like the Chris Brown Residuals record was like a great record. When I when I first heard that record, I was like, yo, this one of the best records I done heard in a while. But I don't know, man, this industry. How do you change that, though? Do you make people more tie into the artist more? Do you give them less of your personal life? I think that was my thing. Like I had to start giving less of your personal life? How do you change that? Yeah, I think that was my thing.

Like, I had to start giving less of my personal life. You feel me? I mean, it was something that I'm trying. And it's been working for me. But, yeah, I just give less of my personal life and try to, like, just let people see who 2C is. Because 2C and Najor are two totally different people. I can't keep giving y'all this person over here and y'all looking at

me like a sense of normalcy like it's not that well that's a good point you just bring up because i remember back in the day you could sell your normal life because everybody bought into you so much as an artist when you would see things like uh remember that uh mtv diary or behind the music or even just a documentary on the artist you would tune into that that's a whole other revenue stream in a lot of ways. Facts. Now it's like, I don't know, people just look at, people kind of semi look at artists like they're a little bit regular,

especially up here. Oh, my God. In New York, everybody think they're a celebrity. But it's just different now. They look at people like they're regular. Do you feel like there should be a balance? Because I know, for instance, like, with Cardi B, people love her because she's so, like, she seems so approachable.

She's online with her fans. Like, how do you find that balance? I mean, I think, I don't think there should be no balance, honestly. Like, you know what I mean? It's cool to interact with the fans, because I'm one that touch the fans and interact with the fans. But at the end of the day, just, just like know you interacting with tootsie like you know and my big thing is like like the taylor swifts and uh and uh the taylor swifts and you know the people like the drakes

the kendricks and the beyonces and all these other people like they's real superstars like they ain't you not seeing all of their personal life like these is superstars and you gonna look at me as such. So I feel like to get that respect, you gotta hold yourself to a certain standard. They also came up in a different era though. Yeah. I mean even though they're still so relevant now, they came up way before all of this.

They did, but one thing that I do know is too though, it takes time. Cause I seen people grow over the years to actually, like, get where they at, you know? Like, so, I mean, it takes time. Like, just because you ain't where you at today don't mean you ain't going to be there in a few years, whatever the case may be. Where do you fit that balance, right? Because you look at Drake, right? Drake is a superstar.

Yeah. But he still does, quote, unquote, regular people stuff. Drake can still be at the strip club. Drake can still be at the regular spot. Even Cardi. Cardi can still be at the strip club drake could still be at the regular spot even even cardi cardi is still be in the spot but you know i think a lot of times we came from an era where you never seen those artists like don't you never it was almost like the artists had their own thing you know and that was the thing you've never seen them like i don't know

it's in the with the internet it's so hard not to see a person right you feel me i don't know the world the world just so weird i don't i don't know how to create that but if i had that i we was just talking about that like if i had the answer of how to get hip-hop back to where it was i i wouldn't even have to make music i'll sell it like you know i mean and nowadays i feel like everybody it's like it's almost like a a rapper it's like a rapper starter kit right yeah you put it you get a big cuban right and then first of all because then you put some sunglasses on and whatever the Louis Vuitton

or the trendiest thing you wear. And then you just look at him and be like, is he a rapper? Should I know who it is? Because everybody's a viral rapper. I'm trying to tell you. And then they selling chains that look like the ones we got

for way less, for $100. You go on TikTok shop right now, you can go buy a chain that look like mine for probably like $150. How much you spend for that you got on? $100,000. Why? I don't know.

Y'all be like, I get the one for TikTok. You're tootsie. You can wear the fake chain. Nobody's going to question whether it's fake or not. Yeah, but see, the thing about me, I done had my jewelry for so long. When I first got my jewelry, like buying, coming in the game and buying

chains and buying the jewelry was a thing now you can't i won't lie like i'm just now finna get a new pendant and it been three years i haven't had no new jewelry in three years so i mean i feel like i deserve it but i'm i really don't even want to wear jewelry no more for real like just wear costume jewelry like i don't even want to wear jewelry no more for real. Just wear costume jewelry like the women do. I don't even want to wear jewelry no more. I'm tired of wearing chains. You look at these pop stars and all these other, they don't got to wear no jewelry. They coming outside in jeans, some shoes,

some loafers, and a white tee. And they chilling. I'm trying to get to that point. The sad thing is our genre, I don't want to say doesn't respect it, but doesn't respect that. They don't respect it. That's a lie. Y'all lying. They don't respect it. Y'all lying too, see? I don't know a rapper doesn't respect it, but doesn't respect that. They don't respect it. That's a lie. Y'all lying.

They don't respect it. Y'all lying too, see? I don't know a rapper. Why is that a lie? Kendrick, I ain't never seen Kendrick in a chain. Kendrick Lamar. I ain't never seen J. Cole in a chain. Right now, it's J. Cole.

They the only ones. Name a new artist right now that isn't. Because everybody's following up Trin. But they the only ones in that genre that's really respected. And like you said, it was a different time. Man, you know how many J. Coles and Kendricks it is right now that can't seem to break the barrier? It's hard.

Don't nobody want to hear real rap no more. And it's terrible. You don't think it's come back? And it's funny we say that, because when you look at the last 15 years, the people who can really rap are the ones that are successful. I wish. The Drakes, the Coles. Oh, in the last 15 years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. who can really rap are the ones that are successful. I wish. The Drakes, the Coles. Oh, in the last 15 years.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Drake, Cole, Kendrick, Sean, Wale, the Meeks. These dudes be rapping. Now it's like in the past, I'll say two to three years, it unchanged. It's not about really rapping. It's about propaganda. It's about how everything looks.

It's about aesthetics, yeah. Yeah, you feel me? I know people that's doing, you would look at their social media and think they selling out tickets around the world. And their tours is struggling on tickets, but the fans ain't gonna know that. You feel what I'm saying? Like, it's hard out here, I won't lie.

Like, real music ain't lasting. You heard, real music is not lasting. You seem like, when I listen to Jaded, it feels to me like you still focus on like making records for radio, for mass appeal. I think that's a lost art. I try to make international records. I want to make music that people can sing around the world.

Even if I go to, whether it's Asia, Australia, wherever I go, they can vibe with the record. You feel me? Instead of it just being popcorn music. I ain't trying to make records for tick tock you could go on tick tock and go on tick tock but i'm not trying to make records for tick tock i'm trying to make hit records that last forever i want to be on the billboard top 200 charts for 683 weeks like like the drakes and the the scissors and like scissor like scissor fire like like that, like it's some real talented artists out here. And they don't got to do much. SZA don't got to do much.

She don't even, whenever she drops, she don't go hard. Do you feel the pressure to match like your success of your last album? Because it went gold, like it was just so, I'm sorry. Yeah. Just my favorite song alone went four times platinum. Uh-huh. Do you ever feel like, oh, that's going to be hard to do again? I got to get there?

Nah, not really. Because at the end of the day, like, the day, like Charlamagne said, at the end of the day, I'm Tootsie. So we can't ever take away from the fact that I'm Tootsie. At the end of the day, I gave the people a great record. And in due time, whenever it come, we got time to make great records. And we have great records. It's just about when it catch the people eye. And when it catch the people eye, it's going to have its time. So I don't ever try to match and be like, damn, how I'm going to do this again? Because it's going to happen. I'm blessed. It's going to happen. And good for you for doing a record with Gunna, man. Not worrying about all that goofy ass

street rules that don't apply to music. That don't apply to music. And that's my thing. I don't give a damn about no street politics and all that. I don't get into that. If I wanted to do that, I'd still be out here doing what I was doing. I got a kid. I ain't trying to be caught up in no street politics. Yeah, I do that. Ain't nobody that's worth no bees out here focusing on no street politics.

Street politics is punk. And that was never a thought when you said it. You just like, oh, he fixed this record, I'm going to reach out to him. It was never. No, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When he did the record, it was more so like,

when he did the record, I was like, I appreciate it. I mean, me and Gunna got some records together. I can't pronounce, was it Champ El Cis? Champ Salise. What do I mean? It's a shopping district in Paris. Oh, okay. Shopping district in Paris. Oh, okay. Shopping district in Paris.

It's kind of like Soho here. You've been to Paris, man? I've been to Paris on layovers. I never... Everybody say that. I never been to the... I'm taking my mom there next year, though. Everybody say that.

Yeah, nah, yeah. It's like Soho. It's like Soho. It's a shopping district. A lot of people like to go there. And you know, a couple months ago, lot of people like to go there. Yeah. And, you know, a couple months ago, you and Shaq got into it. Yeah.

What was that about, man? You called Shaq a weird-ass old head because he got in your baby mama DMs? A couple of months ago. That was a year ago. How long ago was that? A while ago. Not too long ago. But, see, that's the thing. Yeah, it was a long time ago.

It was last year, though, right? But I haven't been put up. I haven't been doing no interviews. So, like, that's really like the last. I've been But I haven't been, I ain't been, I've been put up. I haven't been doing no interviews. So that's really like, I've been put up for real. You've been put up? I've been put up. I've been in the crib for like- That was in May?

I don't know when it was. That was a while ago. It wasn't that long ago. Yeah, go ahead. I've been in the crib for like seven months. I ain't been doing no interviews, no dropping no music, no nothing. I've been in the crib seven months. Last year was hectic for me.

I needed some time with my family. You know what I mean? But yeah, I don't lie. He ain't put no comma in his sentence. You feel me? Let me have that baby talking about. So I'm like, I don't know what he talking about. And me, when it come to my son,

I'm overprotective when it come to my son. So when I read it, I'm like, nigga, like, what you, you? You thought he wanted your baby. I'm like, what you mean? It's a lot of weird shit going on right now. You feel me? It's a lot of weird shit going on. So, when he said what he said, I'm like, yo, what you mean?

But if I would have knew he was talking about my baby mom, like, because, like, day, I'm the type of person, if a woman go, she go. She ain't for you. If a woman go, she gonna go. She ain't for you. But I thought he was talking about my son when I read that. So if I would've knew he was talking about my B.M., I don't lie, I swear to God, I never would've said that. Did y'all speak after?

Who, me and Shaq? We ain't never spoke. Me and Shaq ain't never spoke. Man, Shaq worth a B or something. He ain't trying to speak to me, man. You thought he really could afford the baby. You thought he could. Nah.

I don't know. One thing about it, man, my son worth trillions. He ain't. You feel me? He ain't. It ain't even no dollar amount you can put on there. I don't lie. I do something to it.

I didn't think you reacted crazy, because I saw what Shaq said, too. And I was like, you know what Shaq mean? I didn't understand what he meant by that. I thought he was using that to flirt with her and you felt the way because he was flirting with her. I didn't even think about the baby. Oh, nah.

I ain't never know, man. It's so many niggas. Every time a nigga jump in my baby, my DM, she telling me. She shows you all of them? Yeah. Y'all still together? Yeah. That's my heart.

That's my heart. That's my heart. But yeah, nah. So why you acting like if Shaq called her baby, you wouldn't have cared? Yeah. That's my heart. That's my heart. That's my heart. But yeah, nah, like. So why you acting like if Shaq called her baby, you wouldn't have cared? I see what you're saying. If she wasn't going, she would go. Yeah. But you didn't like it.

He's confident. You don't want her to go. Yeah, I wasn't. Yeah, he just ain't confident. Nah, but I wasn't worried about. But he don't need to. He big as hell, too. He don't need to be worried about my baby mama.

My baby mama like five foot two. He'll hurt my baby mama. He don't need to. You don't know that. Man, he need to watch out, man. You ever seen. He look like Wizard Kelly standing next to you. Yeah, but you don't know what my baby. You don't know that. Man, he need to watch out, man. You ever seen, he look like Wizard Kelly standing next to you.

Yeah, but you don't know what he got. I don't know. I don't know. We're not going to be talking about that being passionate right now.

You see what happens when you give up love? He just said that. You just said that. You take it back and talk around to find out. Don't just assume

we got to make meetings. Nah, I ain't never did that. You did though. They finna try to clickbait and all that. I just want to take some time to say I never said that. You assumed it. You alluded to it. He's like, he's stubborn to it.

He's his breaker. He's like, what? Shout out to Chad, Shaq. We're not in your pants, Shaq. I don't know what Charlamagne's talking about this morning. Charlamagne is in his pants. Yeah. He's talking about Kinky, man.

Nah, nah. But I genuinely fuck with Shaq, though. But I genuinely fuck with Shaq though. Like I fuck with Shaq because at the end of the day, like. You shouldn't say that after the conversation. You should have put a comma in front of it. You gotta put a comma. I fuck with Shaq, you know. His business.

I fuck with his business. On a business aspect, you know. Cause all of the shit that he done did as a black man, like it take a lot to, you know, become what he done became and do the things that he done did. So I fuck like it take a it take a lot to you know become what he done became and do the things that he done did so i my i just want to say like you know if he was talking about my baby mom you feel me i ain't really stressing that because i mean it's too many that do that but i don't like what i thought he was talking about my son no i ain't

gonna hold you i get it you also said something just now that makes a lot of sense you know you be you be put up you be in the crib. Yeah, for sure. At your age, all the stuff you've achieved, people might expect you to be out partying every night, messing with a whole bunch of chicks. But that's not you. Yeah, for sure. Where do you get that mindset from?

Or when did you realize that whole lifestyle and hip-hop was a distraction? Man, honestly, bro, like, these girls everywhere. Like, you feel me? Especially when you at this point in life. Like, I i go on the street and find somebody if i want to you know like it's girls walking everywhere in new york um but outside of that it's just like with this lifestyle it's so much that you still if you get caught up in a lifestyle too much it'll take you away from who you originally was and i try to like i i try to like stay close to my family because they always remind me that I'm still like, I still

came from a certain place. And I think like that always helped me. It's like a balance because I live in North Carolina, you know what I mean? I live in North Carolina. So it's like I travel the world and I get to be, it's like Hannah Montana. That's what I like to call it. Like I travel the world, get to do what I got to do. And then I come back home and I'm Miley Cyrus. So yeah, that's how I feel about it. What made you move to North Carolina? Man, I moved to North Carolina when I was like 12 years old. Yeah, I moved there when I was like 12.

It just, my mom moved me there for a better life because I'm from Syracuse. A lot of people don't know Syracuse rough. Yeah. You feel me? So like- They just think of Syracuse the college. Yeah, they think of the college, but they don't know the college right outside the projects.

Like, you feel me? Don't come off that campus if you ain't. So, like, my mom moved me for a better life. And ever since she moved me, it just, it really helped me. It changed my whole life. It changed my, how I looked at life, my aspect, like everything. And then life just been going up. And I'm like, I don't never want to move because I get to travel the world.

If I got to go somewhere, I'll fly. You know, it's regular. And the cost of living in North Carolina. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment

of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

oh, vice president. Vice president of Connelly House. That's what I'm voting for. But I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. I'm just going to tell you who I vote for. That's what's up. Now,

you know, on, on, on the okay, whatever with Kalani. Yeah. You still seem to be pretty dedicated to being a player. Is that just rap? Nah. It wasn't. was it was it was a part of my life okay okay I feel like that's what it is like so

people always ask me like is is the music that you rap about is it like really or you you sing about is that really like the life that you live in and at one point it was either a part of my life or it was something that I know who I like I know somebody who experienced it and I feel like with me um it was a part of my life you know so yeah well okay whatever I had a toxic part of my life and I'm out of that phase now but I mean I still want to give it to the people oh so on fire and desire when you talk about getting ahead in your car on the highway definitely and catch your feelings maybe that was a real experience I mean I. I mean, possibly. Crazy on She Doesn't Mind too. Oh yeah, I just throwing it all at you.

He just throwing it all at you. Every time you said you wasn't a player, they coming right back at you. That was my favorite one on the track list. Cause I was, I know you, do you pay attention to this stuff when people come at you and be like, why you don't put your baby mom in the videos? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cause I wonder how she be feeling about these songs unless they all apply to her. But the thing is though, like with my baby mom, like me and my baby mom so close and like that's why like i see and that's another thing too like i go out in the world that's why i don't be focused on these girls too because like i go out in the world and i'll be meeting all of these girls and i'll just be like like god not my baby mom like my baby mom don't ask me for nothing. She don't want nothing from me.

She, like, she do everything that she got to do on her part. Like, that's my best friend. We locked in. So, like, when it just, when it come to her, I don't really be focused on nobody else. But I say, like, yeah, like, she understand that Najor and Toosie is two totally different people. Like, at the end of the day, I was Toosie before.

I was Najor before anything, but when we got together, I was already Tusi. Got you. So she get that part. Does she get jealous or does she understand the industry and the business? Nah, she don't get jealous. She joke with me sometimes.

She might see me like, it was a little clip of me talking to India, but we was on set. It was a clip of me talking to India that had floated around the internet, but we was on set. And she'd joke me talking to india that had floated floated around the internet but we was on set and she had joked with me sometimes like what y'all was talking about you know but she already know like man i'm working like to see and i was your two totally different people when i hate that the people try to get that those two collided because they ain't the same people does she ask you about fire and desire when you talk about getting ahead in the car catching feelings no she's right she helped me with my track list.

Really? Yeah. Did she listen to the lyrics? She listened to everything. She helped me with the track list. So to the fans that's out there that was getting on me about the track list and the songs that's up there, Samaria helped me. So, yeah. Tell me something.

I'm an old head. I'm out the game. I'm married. You know what I'm saying? Describe the level of good head that makes you catch feelings in 2024 while you drive down that way. Is it the same head I was getting back in the day? Back in the day, they was probably a little bit better.

These girls out here, man, listen, they want to be tricked on and all that before you get to see anything. It's rough out here. How do you stop yourself from catching feelings from from a random i i i don't catch feelings i don't catch feelings with a random man but i i i don't i don't i don't caught some feelings before you caught feelings before shoulder no he can't fight your ass charlamagne by the time he masturbated and cried. When I was 16. What is this guy talking about? Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

It's got nothing to do with nothing. Ask him. Talk about feelings. Ask him. I'm saying. So, like, hold on. What you mean? What he talking about?

You know how when you young and you first start masturbating, I thought I was a loser. You were. Because I was masturbating. Because, you know, I'm thinking, damn, this is for people who can't get no money. Right, right. So, I was young and I was crying I was crying yeah that's all you doing crying he's seen it like it happens to men no you jacked off but that's what that baby oil here for it that's what you be on. That's what you be on. No, we used to be signed to Revolt. That was a leftover parting gift.

Oh, my gosh. Man, stop it. That was from the Revolt days. Man, stop it, man. Go ahead. Nah, yeah. I won't lie. That ain't never cried, though.

No. That ain't never cried. No. You said Tory Lanez is one of the most talented artists of the generation. Why do you say that? Why do you believe that? For sure. Shout out to Tory, by the way. I want to know somebody else right now who could drop an 80s project. tori lanes is one of the most talented artists why do you say that why do you believe that or sure

i want to know somebody else right now who could drop an 80s project another artist that could come around right now and drop an 80s project i don't i really don't foresee it happening and that's and it was one of that's one of the smartest things i've ever seen but outside of that it's not many people that could do what tori do like it's very few artists that could sing rap make any step in any lane like it's very few are every artist got a lane and with tori do like it's very few artists that could sing rap make any step in any lane like it's very few every artist got a lane and with tori lane's with artists like tori lane's drake um a few other artists man it's it's very few that could tori lane's one of them like them love them hate them whatever the case may be you gotta give people they flowers i'm a realist and i don't care what nobody say about what.

Like, I'ma be me and I'ma speak on what I wanna speak on. He definitely one of the most talented artists. I mean, you talking about music. I think that we live in this world where everybody wanna mix. Everybody wanna mix everything. And that's the thing. He talking about music.

He not talking about nothing but music. I never said the guy, like the thing would it be like, I never said the guy was a great person. I never said none of that. I'm an advocate for great music and that he makes great music. That's what I will say. I don't mix personal lives. You said you started making love songs because of Summer Walker

when you went on tour with Summer Walker? Yeah, I won't lie. Before I went on tour with Summer Walker, I was more so making up simple street stuff. But then I went on tour with Summer Walker, I was more so making an up-tempo street stuff. But then I had one on tour with Summer Walker and I had noticed her fan base was different. She had a bunch of women in the

crowd. Outside of having a bunch of women in the crowd, it was... Her merch was selling every night. The tour dates were selling out every night. I'm like, this what life's supposed to be like. She on autopilot. She don't got to worry about nobody. Only thing she got to worry about is crazy girl fans. She don't got to worry about no dudes doing X, Y, and Z.

You feel me? So I'm like, this is the lifestyle I want to live. I want to put this thing on autopilot and just let it cruise. Yeah, shout out to Summer. You've seen the shift in fans and all that? For sure. I won't lie. My junk like 80-20 now.

I'm going to say 70-30. Yeah, 80-20, I'm trying to get it to 80-20. I'm trying to get it to 90-10 for real. So you're intentional with who you put on the album. So you got Gunna, you got Kalani, you got Moneylone. Yeah, for sure, yup. Mm-hmm, yup. I just, you know, whoever, it's more people I wanna work with, but I just kinda try to save those for the actual album. It's just a mixtape, you know, whoever, it's more people I want to work with, but I just kind of try to save those for the actual album.

It's just a mixtape, you know. So I try to save that for the actual album. I once heard you say, you said, people are rushing to love without knowing how to love or even who to love. Take your time. Love is not something to be taken lightly. Who put you on to that? And was that for just like people who are single?

Nah, it's for everybody, man. Like, I feel like love ain't to be rushed. You know, it's a process. And at the end of the day, I feel like when it come, it come. God only going to put in front of you what he feel like you can handle. So as long as you keep that mindset, you'll be all right. Your person gonna come.

So yeah, I feel like people will be rushing for love because they see the good stuff on the internet, the flowers and the bags and the this and the that and the dates and the... It's a process. What advice would you give to somebody? That's good advice for single people, though. I was gonna ask him,

what advice would you give to a single woman in her 30s that can't find a man and actively look at him? You see, they on their way over here. They on their way over here. Hit dogs will holler. That's what's happening. What's he been talking about? I just, what advice would you give a woman in her 30s?

Everybody, we all knew where y'all was going. Nobody called on you. We're just talking about single women. It has nothing to do with you. So what advice would you give somebody like that I'd say man just like it take

like they say man Rome wasn't built in a day I'll say that and at the end of the day like I believe in things being

preserved and things happening at the right time so if you in your 30s and you ain't met love yet you know what I mean like God probably

look she like God God probably God is preserving you for somebody special. And that's for you. Our God is protecting men from her until she becomes the person. No, for real, she might not be the person that, you know, God want her to be. Talk to her. Talk to her. Let her know.

Facts. But the thing is, though, I feel as if, like, I definitely feel as if, like, you know, God preserved people for, like, when they ready. He ain't never going to put nothing in front of you that you not prepared for. Like, you know, it take time. Like, it really take time. I don't know. So, I ain't know if he ain't. I wouldn't have knew that you ain't had no partner yet.

It's okay. I'm not worried about them. Yeah. Especially not him over there. Yeah. Don't worry. You ain't know if he, I wouldn't have knew that you ain't had no partner yet. It's okay. I'm not worried about them. Especially not him over there. Don't worry. You ain't worried about them. But that's great advice you gave to somebody. For sure. Somebody that's out there.

He's talking to 70% of the women that follow him. There's a million people out here. Somebody will get fed up. Nah, I won't lie. My 70% think they in a relationship with me. Yeah, they, my 70, I love them though. They is. Do you feel like, you know, back in the day that was a thing in the industry right like they used to tell guys don't tell women that you

got a girl make the yeah that's the thing that's the thing they can have you no that's that's still a thing today like right now today if you're in a relationship to the artist that's out there if you watch this interview you in a relationship don't never go put your relationship on the internet that's probably the dumbest thing I ever did, you know? But I would say, like, I like it, though, because my son-in-law got a platform now, you know? And she able, she could use her platform to do whatever she want to do.

She gonna make millions off that platform, you know? So, you know, she got some things she working on, and I'm excited about that. So outside of that, but yeah, if you in a game, don't man, don't put your energy. That's the worst thing I ever did. I don't see it work for anybody. I've never seen it work.

I don't know a successful relationship, like somebody that's in a game with a successful relationship right now. And if anybody do know one, tell me please. I think Muffin Man said the realest shit. They asked him what was the key to a long-lasting relationship. He said, keep everybody out your business. Keep everybody out your business.

That's the only way to... Man, listen, I'm trying to tell you. Once, like, I cut ties with the Internet in my personal life, my career just started going up. So you haven't seen people saying that this new... They feel like this new project or the stuff that they've heard feels like the old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen that.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, and that's a good thing. I like it. Until they hear the full project. It's some of the old Tootsie because it got some rap stuff up there, and I kind of had to step back a little bit from that, but it got some rap stuff up there, and then outside of it having some rap stuff up there,

it's real hits up there. This is by far one of the best projects this year and it's like a lot of people would probably overlook it because it's like you know it's a project coming from tucy like what's the most he could do but genuinely this is one of the best projects all year i lied to you not and what's up with you and kyle tonight did y'all figure out who forehead was bigger that was on the internet i Nah, I don't lie. I definitely think it's mine, though. Oh, yeah, your hat really did help. God damn.

Oh, shit. My God. I didn't mean it like that. I didn't know in person. I saw the video and in person. Who's forehead is bigger? No, put it back. Put it back.

No, no, no. Put it back. That was crazy. That was violent for no reason. I didn't mean it like that. That is not true. That is not true. You gonna go with that? Travis Kelsey was her screensaver.

Yeah, she loved Travis Kelsey. That is not true. He was not my screensaver. You gonna listen to these people? That was wild. Only because I've seen the video in person I love Travis Kelton. That is not true. He was not my screen share. You won't listen to these people. You see what they've been doing to you the whole interview? I will lie. That was crazy. That was wild. Only because I seen the video and in person, I understand the comparison. Nah, you ain't even got to worry.

It's a bit bigger in person. That was violent for no reason, man. But you know what they say about big foreheads, right? No, I missed that one. Nah, I don't either. But I just figured like. Shaq got a big forehead. And you was just on his side.

I really can't. Yo, I don't know if I can trust any of y'all right now. I told you. It's you, though. I told you. I told you. Toosie, you want to play a song off the album, Toosie, man? Let's play you a song off the album.

Off the mixtape, I should say. Most definitely. Hold on, you still on tour, too, right? Nah, I started touring on the 19th. I thought you was on tour with Rod Wave and Moneybag. On the 19th.
