want to argue with you for so long? I don't want to argue with you. I don't want to argue with you. You know, I always say you're one of my favorites. I appreciate you. I really look up to you. I really do. Like, I just feel like you are a, a straightforward person, and you'll tell it how it is, and it comes from a mature space. I appreciate you.

Like, you're going to say how you feel, and that's just what it is. It ain't, it because you feel away like if you like it, if you don't, you don't. Absolutely. And I respect that. I respect you, too. You know I fuck with you. But I heard you say that. You said you said that a man needs a net worth of $100 million to date you.

You might be able to that. I know you learned this stuff I'm just saying. You work to that point. You know how good you feel? I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. I'm just saying, you know, less than 1,000 of 1% of people reach that type of net worth. I know.

And that means you are hardworking men if you got in. And I want me a hardworking man. What does it have to be? You didn't mean 100, though. I didn't mean it literally, but I would love for him to have at least. But that don't mean nothing. Money don't mean everything, you know. But I'm just saying, like, I didn't know I said a lot of shit.

But I did mean it, though. Could you date a regular dude, though? Like, just you down in Miami, do work at FedEx, he got a benefit. God damn. And not even just that. I just, I like what I like. I just, I think that I'm like, you know, I'm into nice things. And not saying that a man that work a job can't give me nice things,

but I think I want to date somebody that's like in the same. caliber of me. Absolutely. I understand. Yeah. Now, what happened to the Carisha Please podcast? Everybody loved the podcast. You were supposed to be the next black Oprah. You said you were the next black Oprah.

Open is already black, no. But I'm like the, you know how like a person is like black, but they like black black? Gotcha. Oprah black black. No, I'm saying like it's like the hood. From the hood, okay. It's what I mean. Let me, let me, let me, let me not.

I mean the hood off. Like, it's going to be like Oprah. but on a hood level. And Carisha, please, you know, I spoke to you about it. I'm just trying to find a right home, the right partner to come back for season three. Oh, we love to have you on Black Effect.

But are you going to be, we need you to be consistent, though. Like, how often would you want to do it? I think when me being an artist realistically, and I honestly think it's a flow of things and how you do things. I think for me, Carisha, please work because people wanted it.

It was like, I want more, I want more. And on top of having a podcast, I still got to be an artist. I still got to release music. So you don't want to just see too much of me because it's like they got to see them. They got to have the music and then go into the podcast.

I would love to be consistent, but I also think that's what worked for me. I love the flow of me. I love that you said that. You think artists nowadays are too over-exposed? Yes, and I think we feel like we know them too much. Like superstars,

but then you just noodle masks, Michael Jackson or a performer. Now we know what happened with your baby. Daddy, we can get the police reports. We can get an announcement. It's just too much that it kind of leaves like, child, this person or that's that person. It don't give the celebrity status because it's too accessible. Did you ever feel like you were too over-exposed?

I do. I think when people know too much in your personal life, it just make them feel like they know you on a personal level when it's not supposed to be like that. But yeah, I do. So, I mean, I know you had the BT reality show that you were filming, and did you take a step back from that because you felt like it was too over-exposed? going into it I was excited about it I'm like oh my god I'm going to have a reality show but I think once I got into it's not really reality like it's staged it staged reality

and I'm the type of person I want everything real raw and uncunk I don't want to go go back and do that again because I can't go back and do that again like that's just what it was and I think that it became too much of that that it didn't feel real and I was just like

I don't like this because they take certain sound bites and it become a whole story that's not kind of like what you sound like I had to take a step back and what's like, if I'm going to do something like that, I want to do it on my own. I feel like you've been trying to find a space to be comfortable to really just express yourself. Yeah, because I think that I am a real, raw, authentic person and I'm not strategic. Like, I just show up as me and whatever you get is, that's me. That would be your experience in me.

and I think that the world now, like the world that we live in now, you gotta just, you gotta just move a certain way and just, just be so polished and it's, it's not fun, and I think that I can't,

I can't live and be creative in a space like that. Like I can't be my best self if I have to be strategic, or I gotta move this way, I can't do this and I can't say that. It's not fun. I feel like, though, you know,

when you see people like, like Cardi, for example, Cardi's always herself. I feel like she made it to where you can be yourself if you're not afraid to be yourself. I think sometimes people be afraid to be their self because they're afraid of the backlash or what's supposed to me.

I'm myself. I get crucified for being myself. Like I can say anything and it just, when it comes to certain people, they take it a certain way. It's like if this person said, but when I said, we all, I'm saying the same shit.

But when I said, it's just like, well, God damn, like I just said, you know, I think it's, I, I, I think it's, I, I can't explain it, but I feel like I'll be myself. I'm myself. I'm not never like, I say a lot of shit. I do a lot.

That's me just being myself. Like, I like to go live, have fun. That was another thing that people loved about me. My personality going on life was just getting on there. We just talking shit about each other. That's us and our natural form. Some people understand that. Some people don't.

Some people like, that can never be my friend. That's our friend group. That's how we have fun. But it's all love. We understand each other. Yeah, I don't think. people dislike you, like they act like they do on social media. I think that you give them a response. And when you give somebody a response, they keep messing with you just to get a

response. Yeah. I bet you sometimes you'd be hitting people and they'd be like, I just wanted you to reply. No, all the time, they're like, oh my God, but bitch, fuck you. Exactly. Like, why are you fucking with me? I'm cool. Like, I'm really a cool person. I'm a human. Like, I'm a great, I feel like I'm a great human. Like, I am a genuine person. If I don't like you, I ain't even coming your way. If I'll fuck with you, I'll fuck with you. But And I'm just, I'm literally, like, I come from nothing. So people have to understand, like, this is how I was brought up. It's still room to grow, and I still got to grow.

I still have a lot to learn, but it's like, I'm learning as I grow. And I just think that it's, like, from my upbringing. Like, I literally grew up in Oprah Locker in the projects. Like, I go over there. I just did my music video newsflash there. And I'm just like, I get it. People walk around, like, they don't dress up. It's bunnies, slides.

Like, how you wake up is how you're going outside. You know, it's not like, it's just being in the hood. How do you think you made it up? I think I was always destined to be who I am because I always just had a personality. And even if I grew up in the hood, my mom dated men with money. Like her, me and she dated, they took care of her.

They made sure our kids were straight. So she always tried to provide the best life she can. And she was, like, also popular. She was, like, a booster. She just was... She's a little booster. Yeah. She would just be popular.

Yeah. She probably had all the overtime. Because they couldn't you to buy all the shit. Yep. Yep. Yeah. So she closed or appliances? Closed.

Okay. So sometimes your own finger polo. Yeah. Gotcha. All that. So, you know, just seeing that and just seeing her make a wage is, yeah. Are you scared right now? Scared of what?

Because you're out here solo? No, I love it. Okay. I love it. I think that it's a new error for me. I feel like from the time. from the time I came out, it always been people saw me, they learned me as

the city girls. I was going through the stuff with my mom. My mom went to prison. I was raising her kids. I always was like holding something down. I never really got a chance to like pour into me or just be the best version of myself or really enjoy it because I was always holding something down or had to work, you know, extra hard. Like my mom with the prison, I had to take care of her kids. So does the group break up? J.T. go to prison. Then she come out. We go through all of this stuff that we're going through. So like now I'm just like, yes, like I get a chance to be creative. I get a chance to just make my own decisions.

I get a chance to just be free. Like, and I also learn so much from a group and just I know more of the business. Like, you know, so I just feel good. Like I feel happy. I feel like I'm ready. I'm not scared. I'm ready. So who is Young Miami without the City Girls without celebrity relationships without the headlines? No, Young Miami is that. You are all that? Yeah, that's your Miami. Okay.

I mean, that's the start of my career and that's everything I went through. That's shaking me as Young Miami. I feel like I can't run away from it. I can't run away from Young Miami of the city or as I can't run away from Young Miami that went through that. Y'all saw me in every phase of my life and y'all going to continue to see me in my new era. So are you trying to show people more of the evolved Young Miami or just the real

Carisha. Both. Because I have evolved. I think the last time I came on the breakfast club, I probably was like in my 20. I'm 30 now. So I do look at like different.

I do see things different. I do want to move different. Sometimes I'm like, bang up. Even though I love it, I'd be like, shut your ass up. When I've been looking back at it like sometimes you ever like,

this is a real thing. You go to the club. You're drunk. You look at your story. You wake up and you delete all that shit. So sometimes that's how I feel like I look at something. I'd be like, it's room from improvement there.

You know, like, you've got to clean up at some point. You got to get these brands to want to, you know, like, yeah, we love real, yeah, we love authentic, but you got to show some era of growth or elevation. Or people going to look at you as, you ain't showing nothing new. But on this new album, you're still giving them classic young Miami. You're still out here, you know. You still have finesse me. Yeah, you still have finesse me.

You still have a hand out. Okay. You still? We still got to have... How you can build your own, you're doing that, too? No, of course. Of course. Of course.

But I do feel like men should be some type of support. That's the message I be trying to get through. I just feel like... I feel like sometimes men, and I say this a lot, because I don't... And that's why I'll be like, I want a million dollars. A lot of men just see a pretty face, see a pretty broady, and for them, it's like, this is just another bitch on my roster. Like, they be building rosters.

Like, a lot of men are mature in my... And you have to be as a woman, you have to be, we gotta know what you want. In life, you gotta know what you want. I know what I want. So if I know that we're gonna have sex, we're gonna have sex, but you have to do something for me and it's not prostitution.

It's not, it's just, I'm a woman. Like, you gotta add to you to me. And sometimes I gotta lead this relationship, situation shit with something. Because if not, we fuck when we, in our teens, that's something you're doing your 20s. I'm 30 now. No, I listen, I feel like a man's job is to protect and provide.

I understand the logic. I'm just saying bring the number down, 100 million. Well, Chalemay, that's what I'm trying to go up. Listen, I want a vacation. I got kids. I'm trying to live my best life. Life is, you know, life is weird these days. Like, I just want to live my best life while I can.

And I just feel like that's what I want at this point. You're not afraid to talk about your roster, though. I heard Carrecia's tales where you flipped the two short joint. Freaky tales. What made you want to do that record? I think it's hip-hop. When I listen to like workers like that, like Lil Kim, even Nikki Minaj just coming up as a new artist,

I want to have that impact. Like when people go, like people that argue in Miami fans, like, who I remember when she did that too short? And she flipped it like this. Like, that's what it's far in the movie. I'm only going to assume that everybody on the record is real because one line is definitely real. So I'm just going to assume everybody on the record is real.

There's some truth in every story. Okay. Why do women like the shame in for eating bunky, though? Because on free details, you say, lame, goofy-ass nigger always trying to eat bitch, booty-ass nigger. Why are you shaming men for that?

You must be eating booty shalry. I'm from South Carolina. I'm from the South. I mean, yeah. That's a grown-man sport. That is a grown-man sport, but why are shaming for it? I'm not, no, I'm just saying, like,

because it's like, I got two homes. Why do you want to eat the one that's in the back? What if he's doing both? Appetize an on, entree appetizer, whatever you into. It's no shame to it, but it's like you always want to eat back when it's one in the front. It's kind of like, okay. No, no,

no offense to the minute, do it. Like, shout out to you. See, I like when I hear women talk like that because you get to see what women really think. So when guys, if you're trying to do that, you all be talking shit about you? I'm just not, like, I don't like that whole bed that'll be wet. Like, I just feel weird.

So it's not my purpose. We all got purpose and I just don't like that. Okay. Whole men wet. All right. Let's stay on freaky tales. You say, you name a bunch of men. And you say, my billionaire nigger that stay on the island used to tell me, take that, take that while he fucked me for hours. Now, we know who that is. That's ditty. In light of everything that has transpired, why weren't you afraid to still say that? Because I think that I should be able to express myself. I should be able to say my life experiences. I don't feel like I should be silenced or I can't speak on anything or I should be able to express myself. I should be able to say my life experiences. I don't feel like I should be silenced or I can't speak on anything or I should be. scared because I just was in a relationship with somebody. And what we had wasn't a crime or it was wrong.

So it's like, I'm expressing myself. It's music. It's my music. It's my time to tell my story and I want to have fun. I'm going to do that. When someone, you know, you were connected to become the center of serious allegations and legal issues, how do you reconcile the person you knew with the headlines everybody else's here?

I think in life you always get put in something or a situation. you know you got to make a life decision and you got to look back and say like what makes sense for me right now? You know, like I can love this person but I can love this person from a distance or, you know, I can have a relationship with this person but maybe I got to come back to it.

Like maybe I got to come back around and I think that that was one of those situations. You wrote a letter about your Fiddini's character and a lot of people were upset because it was like, you know, how could she do that after seeing the video with Cassie? A lot of people wanted to know why you decided to still. write that letter? I think I wrote a letter

for a change man. I think that the man that I met and that I experienced was changed. I'm not going to justify some bullshit or like support some if I felt like that person was a change.

And I felt like the person that I met was changed. It was a different experience. So that's why I wrote the letter. Do you think you owe, like, your fans an explanation? Or do you feel like your personal relationships

and nobody's business with your own? I feel like both. I feel like, as people that's supporting you, that's buying it to you and that love you, you have to get them some type of, you know, they got to be able to connect with you. So I can't just be like, fuck y'all.

This is my person with life. I don't owe y'all shit. It's having me that do feel like they were at the end of the day being a real person. You know, I feel like that dough is open to them. How do you reconcile supporting someone publicly when the court of public opinion is saying something completely different.

Because if I meet you today or if my time that I experience with you is one way, I can only judge that person that way. So it's just like I can't speak to nothing that I don't know of. I can only speak to the person that I met. And if I met this person that changed my life

that helped me grow, that treating me like a queen that made me believe in myself, it's like that's what I know. And I feel like people can have opinions, but I can only judge a person off of what I am of and what I experienced. Like, I can't speak on nothing

that I never was a part of, that I never knew. Like, I can only judge who I'm at. I can only judge who I was in a relationship with. Were you afraid that they might call you to testify? No. I never hear nothing. I don't have nothing at it. You seem like a very loyal person. I am.

At one point, did loyalty become a liability? That's a good question, Shaloran. We got time. We can just see that. I mean. Meaning because you might be with somebody and at some point you realize just you even being loyal to this person to a fault. At some point you might have to cut them off

because they might start bringing you down. Yeah, I mean, I understand that. But also, I just feel like if a person, let's just say, for instance, right, I'm just use this as a scenario. Imagine a person helped you become a better person. version of yourself or help you believe in yourself or help you just experience new things

or just introduce you to new things that was that you was able to take and, you know, create, keep creating for your family or it's just, it's still a positive thing. It's kind of hard to say, fuck you, you're going through this shit. I don't go to fuck like, I got to just fuck you. It's hard. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's very hard because it's like, I don't want to kick somebody by their thing. down and I don't want to just say

fuck you, you're going through that shit, you got to figure it out because I don't like you're my friend I have a relationship with you, I have a personal relationship with you like I know you it's like family like we like locked in so it's like that's a hard situation and it's just like I cannot

just turn my back on somebody like that easy. I didn't mean it was never no love there whatever I did for you, it meant nothing it just that would be a fake person to me. What did this This whole situation teach you about who's really in your corner because I feel like, I don't know. When I listen to the album and I hear you in an interview sometime, I feel like people turn their back on you the way you wouldn't have done if the rolls were reversed.

So many people did and echo as to the liability question. Like some people just going to do what makes sense. You get what I'm saying? And some people just going to ride out with you. Like, we're going to figure this out because things do turn around. You understand? So I think I'm just focused on the people that stay down. me. The people that left, they wasn't supposed to be here.

Did being tied to the, did any situation impact your branding anyway? It did. Really? It did. Bad. Like, I'm not talking about just social media, you know, in real life. It did. Like what?

It just, it was a lot. Like, I lost deals, I lost money, I lost relationships, I lost a lot. And, you know, here I am. Wow. after everything you've experienced, right? Like, I mean, there's so many things you've experienced on a personal level, on a, you know, business level, you know, how has your relationship with trust changed?

I don't trust nobody. Damn. I'm not going to lie. Like, trust is like the only person I probably trust is God and my kids. Mm-hmm. And I think that I don't know what trust is built on because you could be knowing a person, your whole, like your kids are turned on you.

So I don't, when it comes to trust, I don't, that's, I don't trust God. I got friends that I love and that I trust to a certain extent, but it ain't never in the back of my mind like a person wouldn't do something to me. Well, there are a particular situation that made that, made you feel like that or just? Like, just seeing everything up old, how people would be with you and then with something get up, they just go. Like, they ain't trying to stand by you. They ain't trying to support you.

They just keep the fuck on. Do you expect you from other people? I do. And that's very disappointing when you... It is. I expect me in every person that I mean, I'm like, I won't do that and I'm going to do it. And when they do it, I just be like, who'll be doing?

Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support

You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend.

I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament. But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on 10. Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thinking just about everything. It really is annoying.

So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon.

I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before. You know, at one point I shut my laptop down. And we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient.

We can never go, this is never going to go nowhere. Because it's like I'm never, we ain't, we both ain't go that far. Like, we family. So. You said you got to peerage at the same time. Yeah, like, when you, as a woman, as a, a, a, a, a, a girlfriend group, if you be around somebody every day, I get your child period at the same time, around the same way.

So it was at one point we'll be on tour like, but you got a time fine, you got a time on? Like, we were friends, we grew up together, that's going to always be a person that I got love for. When something like the city girls ends, it's not just business though. Like, that's a piece of your identity. So what did you have to,

I guess what did you grieve in letting that version of yourself go? It was just like losing like a friend, like a sister. Did it feel like a deaf? It, it hurts. I won't say death because the person is going to come back. She's still here. So it's always room for us to have a conversation. So I ain't going to say death, but it hurts.

It's like getting your heart broke for the first time. What made you two actually grow apart? Like everybody thought it was Carisha, she got the podcast now, she's doing the reality, show she's getting her Beyonce on. Yeah. People thought, well, J.T. takes music more seriously than Correa does. What was it? No, I think it was just more of she felt like,

you know, JT. into like fashion and so many different other things. She got her own in issue. And I think just like, we are in just two different lanes. Like our brands, it's just two different brands. And it's like two different people trying to be one that she's never going to work. And I think it was more of like she just had a lane that she wanted to go in. and it just wasn't the same type of time I was on. So it was just more of like, I'm kind of ready to do my own thing.

Like, you know, I don't really want to do this shit and I'm going older because she's older than me. So it was more of like, I'm just ready to go. I've heard you say JT hasn't been the same since the Fed case. What case are you talking about? When she went to prison. Got you. You think jail changed her or?

Yeah, I think jail shape people. I think when you go to jail, if you, you know, you sobering in there not sending. that she do yours. I'm just saying like people, when you go in there, that's like timeout. Like, you have no time,

you have nothing to do but to sit and think and reflect. And it can, like, it could fuck you up or it can help you grow, but it mentally do something to you because it's like, you got time away from everybody.

You just sit and reflect. And I think that before JT went in, me and her was like this. Like, we were sold like this. And when she came home, I just felt a shift.

But it wasn't. bad. Like I didn't take heat to it because my mom been in prison. So I know what it's like to be in jail and come home. They see the world differently because they just win the time out. So I feel like that was my experience. Did you ever feel, I don't know, I don't know if I call it jealousy, but, you know, she had a man and she spent more time with her man now and you, you know, he probably was used to y'all being together all the time. Was there anything like that? Not when it comes to a man because as women, we all want to be with our men. Like, I don't, I'm, I'm an query is. So I'm very big on space and I like to be alone a lot. So I think it was me.

Like I like I disconnect a lot of times and it could come off as in like I'm disconnected. But sometimes I got to just go and just be by myself. Have you all talked about any of this? We have. We, I think we need a therapist. We need somebody to come in here both sides. Because when we try to like express ourselves, it's like what you did is to me, what you did is to me. We just point in the finger at each other. It's like, you made me feel this way. Well, you made me feel this way.

I ain't doing nothing to you. And it's like we're not getting nowhere. So we got to literally have someone come in and say, look, she feel like this and you feel like this and like, what's the solution? You clearly love JT. Like that. That's what I'm saying. So why not go get a counselor or therapist and y'all just go have a couple of sessions with each other

and put everything on the table and see if, you know, y'all can resolve the relationship? Because I think we both need time to do our own thing. I think that when JT. was doing her thing, I never wanted to make it about me. Like I didn't want to, oh, you see I'm doing my thing. Now you're trying to come back now. Now you're trying to make things. And I don't want it to feel like that when I'm doing my thing. So I think she did her thing. I'm doing my thing now. Let us both grow, you know, as individuals. And I think that time will come. And I also think

we both got to be ready. It can't just be like when I feel like I'm ready or when she felt like she ready. Like we both got to be in the space where we can sit down as adults and say, okay, we're in a better space now and I think we need that time apart. So the city girls aren't done. It's just like a season of separation kind of. Yeah, I wouldn't never just off the city girls. We built this together.

You know, like, we did a lot together. It just said that it never happened or it's just dead, you know? Like, it's forever going to be the city girls. Like, we both come from the fucking hood. We got a, that's an accomplishment for both of us. So I look at it like that. You know, people on the internet were saying that it was a lover's quarrel.

Like, y'all would be scissoring or something like... Who? I ain't never seen her. Yeah, I know you did. That's what they do on the internet, don't people make up shit in this far, believing it. If the city girls never make music again, what would you want that legacy to be? Just the city girl. You and JT.

I don't want it to be two young girls that grew up together. They came and they made history. and it was it was built off of sisterhood. Yeah. You've had to process a lot of loss publicly and privately. You've got relationships changing,

people you love no longer hair. How do you even begin to separate your personal grief from what the world is consuming as entertainment? And that's the part I feel like they don't understand. Like for them it's just like

they don't give me at grace. And I think it's hard going, it's hard going through everything publicly with the world just being a weird and indirect place. And I think that I already got a chance to actually sit and go through my grievance. Because it's like I always had to work or I always got to defend myself or it's just in front of the world. So I just worked through the blue sheet. Like I haven't already had a sign. I really sit and digest everything that's happened to me. But you know they say staying busy as a response to trauma. So you're trying to run from what you probably actually should be sitting down and dealing with.

So why I need to deal with it? You said what? Why do I need to deal with it? I mean, because I always feel like if you don't deal with your trauma, your trauma ultimately deal with you. Like, you know the example I like to use? Remember when Will Smith was at the Oscars? That's the biggest night of his life, right? He's about to get crowned.

He's about to get best actor. And like everything just, you know, came out at once. He lashed out. and he lashed out in that moment. That's why I see him. Deal with your trauma or your trauma ultimately deal with you. You can't run from it forever, Carisha. I got to deal with it when God popped and you show me.

I don't want to deal with it right now. I got too much to focus on. I think that it just put you in a depression that it's hard to pull yourself out of. And it's just like, I don't want to deal with it right now. Like right now, I got kids to raise and I got things that I need to do. I don't want to be dealing with you. trauma. You know, speaking

to your kids, you know, it's the last question I'll talk about with grief, but you did lose the father of your child. And that's a different kind of grief. Because it's not just yours. It's your child's as well. How has that changed the way you show up as a woman and as a mother? I mean,

it's so hard as a woman losing like a male figure. Because it's like I always check on my son. Are you okay? You know, mentally, how are you? And I feel like he always like I'm okay, but I feel like even if he's not, he wouldn't put it on me because I think, you know, he's a young man that's growing up. He probably don't even want

to put that on me. So like for me, it's just, it's hard because I'd be like, damn, I'm raising my son, he's 12 now, he's got to be a teen, so I know he's about to get it to a teenager thing. Who's that, like him and his dad was like this? So who's that male figure in his life that's going to replace his dad? It's not nobody. And it's me. So I feel like I, I, I, I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I try to apply myself as much as I can and really, you know, try to make sure that he knows, like, hey, I'm here for you.

You can come to me about anything. I'm going to put it up with what it is. We're going to figure it out together. Does he talk to you about everything? No. Really? Mm-mm. He's shy.

He's very shy. Like, he's really, really, really shy. He got my little sister, which is his, I feel good about that because that's my sister that he talks to. Do you tell him that he has to have $100 million or girls are not going to want to date him? No. I don't even instill that type of stuff than him.

Okay. At all. Like, I literally hate when he get on the internet and see him say stuff like that after I got to stop. Oh, man. People don't think about that. They don't think about when you've got kids old enough to be online and see what people are saying about their mom

or what their mom is saying about other people. Yeah. You ever have to explain that to him? My son is so smart. He's like the, he's smart. He's, and he loves, that's something I love about my son. He's into school. school. Like, if I go out, he'd be like, Mommy, you know I got to go to school tomorrow. Like,

how I'm getting to school tomorrow? He'd be on, like, school tomorrow. I got a test. He's very love school. So he, he know that. Like, that's not something I had to explain to him. He know that. Do you talk to him about your music? I did play my album for him. So he heard Parisha Tales? I skipped that song. I didn't go along. Okay. But I did play for him because as a kid, I just wanted to know what he think. And he really He told me he liked the newsflash. He loved me to Chanel.

He likes, still eat. He was like, I like it. I love it. They made him feel good. So, I want to, I mean, does him and J.T. still talk? Yeah. She, maybe, I go through it. So, like, I randomly get his phone.

Let me see her phone. And they be, I love you. Like, they, I don't, they got their own relationship. I actually love that. I'd like, love that. And, I mean, I'm sure that makes you feel good, too, unless you know, like, okay, there's still a bond here. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. He loved her. You love them. Why don't you do, and we were talking about this before the interview started, why don't you do more records like F them kids and What's Up and Day County? Because to me, that's your lane.

Because I love that old Miami-based town. I was born in 1978, so I grew up on that. That's my era. The Uncle Lugar, like, why don't you do more of that? Like, that sound need to come back. I am. I think that I just had to get back in my groove, you know, and I had to get back in my sound. I think as artists, the fans to stare you away from what's your sound.

Because then they're going to tell you, like, but I put out fuck them kids someone say you ain't growing you still talk about fuck them kids you did da da da so it put artists

in a place where you get in your head and you feel like you need to make better records and then you start making shit that don't even resonate with your fans and then even you

and now you just sound like you're trying shit so I think that that was a phase I went through to and now I'm back in my bag I'm back in my pop and I know that those songs

feel good to me like those records that I love and I feel like that's my best stuff so I am going to make more the records like that so all these records you, like when you hear records, like, take me to Chanel and, you know, Correcia

tells, is that really where you at right now? It always take me to Chanel, for sure. Lord have mercy. You see what I got on right now? Yes. Yeah. Lord have mercy. I want to ask you something about grief again.

Do you feel like grief has hardened you or softened you or made you more intentional about who and what you pour into? I think all of the, grief is so, I think grief coming like different stages. And I think that when it comes to grief, I think it made me stronger. Because I always feel like I gotta be so strong. Like whenever I'm crying, like, why you? I don't feel bad, but I'd be like, come on.

Like, let's get out of this. Like, you gotta keep growing. So I feel like grief made me shrunker. It made me feel like I gotta keep going. Like, I can't live in this. I feel like because you had to, like, you know, raise, I guess your brothers and sisters, when your mom was in prison

and just growing up in the environment you grew up and like I almost feel like you know you didn't maybe get to childhood you wanted? Yeah, no, I was grown.

I was saying to be a woman. I was cooking, going to the grocery store down at Section 8 filling out applications. So I appreciate it because I know how to do a lot. Like I know how to do applications

I know how to feel like stuff for credit. I know how to apply for things. So it's like a blessing in the caries because I do wish I did have a childhood. like at one point, but I did have to be an adult. Like, I had to raise kids.

Like, I had to get them ready for school with our uniforms. At one point, I started boosting because I had to, my mom was in there, you know, like these kids, how are they going to get uniforms? I don't got no money, don't got no job. So I had to go and get them clothes, you know? That's why you want that man with $100 million because you want to feel, you want to be taken care of. You want to just kick your feet up for a second.

Yeah, I do. You want somebody to treat you the way you've always treating people. Yes. got you yes got you what so much happening around you

right what boundaries have you had to create the protecting your peace that you didn't have before I don't feel bad

about my feelings no more like I can feel away and then I'm like I won't say that to the person because I don't

them to take it it's like if this is how I feel this is how I feel and you got to respect how I feel like it's literally seeing how I feel

like no it's no I don't want to do this I don't want to do this I don't have to explain myself I don't care how it makes you feel because I'm the type of person

I always put myself on the other side how does it make this person feel how I'm a look I don't do that anymore I don't care I love a go back to the album I love the Dade County record

what did that record mean to you because you got your girl Trina on there who always said in the inspiration who you trick is on there Rick Ross like why did you select those three individuals to do that record That's Day County

Tric Trina and Ross. When you think of Dane County, they did so much. And you know, it's not a lot of artists that come from Miami. And they did so much. And it's like, when I listen to the radio station, because I do that a lot, I love hearing like DJ Nasty. They play a lot of Miami mixes and they all mix them in.

And I was like, I want to have that same feeling now in my generation. Like when you go listen to the radio, you still hear trip training, but me and it sound new. And, you know, like, it's in Miami, the, um, high schools to be in it's real big and I just can hear them doing it like when they're doing the games and things like that that's what inspired that song what is training mean to you and what does she taught you trainer she always just dropping knowledge in me like when I first got it to this game she called me listen keep your face clean know what you're doing know the business say what you want like it's what you won't like it's what you won't like don't let don't let nobody to get advantage of you and these men go come, but pick the right one. And if you get in the relationship with them, make sure you come

out of that relationship with something. Damn. She said that on, Carisha, please. Yeah. What about professionally, though? This is an artist. I mean, she always just telling me, like, look, you're a spar. You doing it.

Don't let everybody tell you shit. You know, like, you show what you can do. It's going to always feel a lot. They come with this. And she was like, you got it. Like just believe in yourself And ain't nothing gonna stop you. Do you feel like you've been judged fairly? No, I feel like I've been judged.

I feel like I get judged for every single thing that I do. And it's just like, I don't, I've been trying to go down the timeline and figure out when did all this happen and when did this shift or like, what's the problem? I think it was Corisha, please. Only because it was such a good podcast, but you would get so comfortable

on there that you would talk and you would say things and you would give them ammo. Like you when you talked about getting peed on. I made that up. No, say you made that up now. Okay, I made it in booty up. Okay, no, let's talk about it. So I didn't even make that card. I didn't even know what a golden shower was.

So I came up with the car as wicks on. And when I got to the car, I'm like, what the fuck is a golden shower? And then she was like, we never did a little like, bitch, no. So when we was doing a podcast, I just did it because I was promoting my game. So I'm thinking that this is going to be something that just like gold power, but I ain't know.

It was like a whole thing of like me actually being Pito. And that's something I'm just like, damn, like I should have really thought about that one. I didn't think it was like a, yeah. And you was dating somebody named Piny Ditty. I said. I'm saying. Oh my God.

You did that to yourself. I know. It was, that was one thing that was like, it was good and bad because, y'all, they, there was like the most talked about thing ever

and that was one month that my cell went skyrocketed, but all good money, all money and good money. And that's one thing I was just like, damn, I should have thought about that.

And I always go back to it because I remember calling Britney was like, you know, Britney, she was like, and even when it came out, she was like, and she didn't even know

where to go to show was. And I'm like, it's out that these people can go believe me. That's just something that I got to bite that bullet. Got it down to hill.

So you've never been penal. Damn. No. If I would have been Peter, I literally, I mean, I told you all. You gotta tell us everything.

I've learned that in life, too. You think you got to share so much because we'd be in front of these cameras and in front of these microphones, we'd be over. But, I mean, if I talk about my sex, like that,

I'd say, like that. Is that one you ever had to explain to your son? No, we never talked about it. That's one thing that's uncomfortable for me because I'll always be like them

because I'd be thinking about it now like them. Like, I want to pee. I know he got to get into arguments and shit in school is going to come. Eventually, hopefully not, but I'm like, damn, why I did that to myself? Mm-hmm.

And my kid. How do you plan to explain, like, those complicated adult situations to your child? While still trying to, like, preserve his sense of innocence? I got to just telling him what it is. Talk to him like a man. Just literally say, look,

I made some mistakes, and I think that you're going to make some, you know, and you got to be mindful of things like this. You got to learn for me. There's something that I learn. something I'm not, I'm not proud of and I regret, but don't make the same mistake. What do you think

you've done wrong? Like that. Like that's just one? Yeah, like, I hate that. Like, I literally be like, why the fuck I did that? Like, you know, marketing, it's marketing, you say shit. I'm like, but that was like a wrong card. But again, I never been peed on, so I didn't think that it was just like a thing.

Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis hubline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support

You look at the top four number one seeds. What do

you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance of getting back to the final four. Obviously, UConn is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament, but I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thinking just about everything.

It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon.

What's up? What's up? It's Questlove. So recently, I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actors and producer, Jamie Lee Curtis, ahead of the release of her new thriller series, Scarpetta. I can honestly say I've never done an interview like that before. You know, at one point, I shut my laptop down.

And we just started chatting as old friends, recent Oscar recipient. So we have some commonality there. I predicted that, by the way. And you said these words to me, dust off your mantle. Yes. And I looked at you and I said, what? And you said, dust off your mantle. And then I left and that was it.

Not even just publicly, but when you're sitting at home in your house just privately, like what does accountability look like for you? When you're looking to be like, what did I do wrong? What did I do to cause this? happen. I say like the way that I present myself, the way that I carry myself, the things that I think is fun, you know, like the way I have fun is probably not the way that you have fun. So I think that she's polishing it up a little bit, toning some things down or not sharing everything. Like everything, like if I'm outside, I'm having a good time, I'm shook at my head, maybe I ain't

got to post it. You know, just things like that. I think it's kind of like what I put out there. But why you figure me and you don't have the same type of fun? What do you like to do that? I probably Probably what you'd like to do? Probably like hang out at like 5 o'clock in the morning. Oh, no, no, no, no. Yeah, lean by in the club, but we tried to be in and get on the boat. No, no, not, not. Yeah.

I used to like G5, though. Yeah. G5 is a fire spot. Do you feel like you're finally in control your narrative? Yeah. I think that now I get a chance to really tell my story, you know, and nobody control your narrative, but you, you're the one that's putting out whatever, whatever it is.

You're the one that's feeding, whatever it is that you're feeding. Yeah. What scares you more? Starting over solo or being misunderstood forever? Being misunderstood forever because I think that people that really know me that really like know who I am as a person I'm nothing like what's out there, nothing.

Like absolutely not. And I hate that. I hate that it's out there. It's like a thing. I just be like what? Like what the fuck? What the fuck? I mean, I can fix it.

Well, you know, the time, that's the time can fix us. all, right? Yeah. I remember when you said your music was getting shelved. Was it getting shelved by QC? I think at one period of time,

I think they would just turn off with us as a group. Like, they just felt like we was letting the group go just the investment. You know how they shit. They was just over it. So when we started branching off

in our solo era, I think that when it came to me, I feel like I always get, I feel like I just, when it comes to music, I get it hard. And I think that, I was presenting the music.

Some of, like, the songs that I got out. It was just like, no. Don't grow up there. No. We're talking about the same shit. And I'm just like, well, we all stand the same shit. I mean, I just feel like this is the music that I made. When you say we all saying the same shit, like you mean like the guys were making the set of the music?

All female rappers now. That's like the music, the topic, the subject. It's all the same. We just send in different ways. I like, you know, what QC did for a lot of their artists, but I do. feel like, man, they dropped the ball on a couple of y'all projects in a way. Yeah. I don't know if it was y'all.

I know that one album came out during the pandemic. That, what was that? I can't remember what album that was. That was... That was... That was... Um... That was... I don't know if it was Gora Call a city-on-lock. It was city-on-lock.

Yeah, the one with Doja Cat was on there. Yeah, I feel like that one should have really, really went. But it was the pandemic. Like, why even put out an album during that time? Like, did they make you live there? But people couldn't do nothing but be at home and listen to music. Like, everybody was in the house,

remember they had the quarantine lives and stuff like that. So I think that it was just a time where people was just in the house listening to music. But I think that we wanted, like, for instance, we wanted to have Turculator as a single. They didn't. And then the song ended up, once it got leaked,

then they end up wanting, like, don't want to have this and song. We was like, we was big. Because we wanted Terculator, they went with Pinyana. Let's make them do that. that song, it was like, we were on a twirculator. They wanted piata.

So they went piano, a twircular, end up going out of the bag. But then you know how the fans. They was like, oh, God, y'all, y'all did a video out of the fact. We ain't on it no more. We didda-da-da-da-da. And then it was more of, like, pointing fingers. And then, you know, one of those things.

So what's the difference between that situation and your new situation? I think I'm in control now. I think that, you know, I made my own decisions. and I think they just supported me. What's the lesson in all this for you and the people watching? The lesson at all, what?

Just this, this existence that Carisha has gone through, all of these things that we've seen publicly and privately. When you sit here in this very moment right here, looking at me, what do you think the lesson has been? Life is a journey, and it's going to be different places to life. And I feel like I am perfectly flawed. I have lost me. like I'm going, I'm going, I'm a human, so I'm going to make mistakes.

I'm going to grow. I'm going to cry. I'm going to go through things. But, you know, y'all have watched me from when I first started to now, and it's a journey. And I'm, it's an open journey. And I want y'all to come on this journey with me. And we'll look back and say, I'm so proud of you.

Like, you really went through all that shit. You, you set back, you took accountability. You, you cleaned up. You realized what was wrong. And you came far. Like, that's what I want to, put out there. What does success look like for you in regards to this album?

Success that like Billboard, Grammy, touring, and just really showing people like, okay, we, we underestimate her,

being an underdog coming out on top. Well, Carisha, nice to meet you again. Yeah, with a billion times. Yes, yes,

as you meet in a whole new, like this is... I feel that way. Yeah. I don't know why. I've been around you a bunch of, times, but I feel like I'm meeting a whole new individual. Because you know why? I think

that, like, I was always, whenever we come and we do these runs, it's promoted something, it's selling something. So I was always trying to sell something. Like, I got to, you know, I'm more of like, I don't got to do all that. Now, it's like

less, it's more, just going to and just just, you know, just to have a conversation. You don't got to go and be extra and do this and do that. Like, the people are going to fuck with you. It's going, it's going, I just want you know it's going to be a little uncomfortable, and the reason that's going to be a little uncomfortable because you really are standing alone.

Like, there's no JT, there's no Diddy, it's really just... And I love... And that's why I love it. Because y'all saw me with JT. Y'all saw me with Diddy, and now y'all see me by myself. And I'm going to show y'all what I can do. Thank you, Carisha.

Thank you. I appreciate you. I enjoy you, Chalmers. I enjoy you. I enjoy it. This is like earning breakfast well. I love your taste of stuff

because you are a very running this person. Like, this dude don't let shit like and I think that that's like that's like earning your respect. Like you have to respect an honorable person.

You understand? Like that's why when I wanted to do this conversation, I was like I gotta do it with Sholomey. They're gonna respect you the same way. I mean, I think they already do. They just fuck with you. They fuck with me online. Like they are,

they fuck with you because you're such a transparent person and you give them energy. If you ignore them, they'd still fuck with you, but not as much. Yeah. But it's good to fuck with them back sometimes. Yeah. But I'm learning now. Like, now I just be like, man, I'm a lockout.

Does it really, the way you can do until that music drop, when you drop that album, you're going to be there all night going through your Twitter. I'm not going to... I know. I'll be searching my name all day. I am. I am. I am. I see what people's reactions are.

I am. That would drive me crazy. I don't know how y'all do. It do. It drives people crazy. It does. I tell all of that, you know, I saw a digital guy, but I be telling Jess, Lauren, all of them,

stop looking at the comments. It's hard because you want to see what people online saying about. Like, if you drop something, you're really going to look to see if they fuck with. But then you go down that rabbit hole of the negativity. And then it would be one thing that trigger you that makes you feel like, I need to defend myself or I need to pull myself.

And it's like, no, that shit just opened up a door for it to keep going. And that's what I learned. I don't think it's real. I really truly don't believe that majority of that shit online is real. It's a nap. Like, even, you know, we're laughing about the Jack Hollow album, but I think people are just doing it because it's funny. That's it.

That's it. It's the humor for the week. Like, let's make all these memes and stuff. Like, you know, I don't personally care for the album, but it ain't, you know, it ain't worthy of all of that. But it's just funny. Yeah. And nobody's even talking about the music.

It's just this joke. It's just the meme. it's just the memes of the joke. Yeah. So they're going to, how on, they're going to always give them that. They're going to always do that to artists. Yeah.

Like, I don't know any artist that that doesn't happen to now. Yeah. And I forgot the actual question I wanted to ask. What? Come on, let's do it. We can do it now. Okay. Oh, the cameras are.

Oh, okay. Okay, so a question I wanted to throw back edge was, you know, has this turned into an episode of Carisha Preet? Yeah, possibly. Okay. I wanted to, I really want to just, you know, talk about growing up and some things that you had to do

and you are who you are now. Do you believe that people change? Absolutely. I believe people change, people grow, people evolve. Like the first book my father ever gave me was the autobiography of Malcolm X. And the reason I love that book so much is because it literally shows you

the evolution and transformation of a man. Like Malcolm X was Malcolm Little. He was a pimp. He was, you know, selling drugs, number running, all types of stuff. But then he went to prison, you know, got introduced to the teachings of, you know, the honorable Elijah Muhammad and became a whole different individual. He became the Malcolm X that we know now. That's another reason why I love, you know, the N.O. So much because they show you that transformation and growth is possible, but you got to be

intentional about that growth. Like, you know, it can't be performative. Like, you really, really, you know, got to do the work. So yes, I absolutely believe in growth and evolution. And that's another thing too when you say he went to prison. I think that when people go to prison is about what they do with their time of prison. Because you can go to prison and you can go to school. They got so many programs. You can go to school. You can learn.

That's when people come out and they do a book and they talk about their experiences in prison. And I think that it's kind of like what you do with your time of prison. And I think like with my mom, she felt so bad because she was like, I left my kids out there that she didn't really go in there and grow. Like she came home or resent me. Like, oh my God. I'm like, girl, it's fine. It's okay. We're good.

You got good kids. Like, look at me. I ain't out here killing nobody doing it wrong. Like, it's okay. Like, and that's something that I learned to, like, pat myself on the back. It's like, it's hard out here. And long as you show up and you sacrifice for your kids, like, it's okay. You know, the thing about growth, right?

It's so funny in this era because, especially with social, media, they won't allow you to grow. You could be a whole different person evolved on a whole different level, but they'll be, you know, talking to you about something you did five years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago. And you're like, damn, I ain't even on that no more, but they'll constantly remind you of who you work. So we got to do such a great job. We got to do a great job of protecting our peace, right, and not letting them tell us who we are. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And I think that's a problem. It's okay. media, like what you were saying, we read so much online about ourselves that that's what we

feed in our mind. And it just become a thing of like, you start like, look, I'm seeing this coming 15 times, 20 times. Like, you start, that shit started like digesting in your mind. It's like, it's, that's why you can't be on it. I was telling you, like, when your album come out, just give yourself at least, I know it's going to be hard, but give yourself at least the weekend. Like, the album dropped on a Friday.

don't check the comments till Monday. Just give yourself 48 hours just to experience the joy of putting out a solo album just let it ride

for a minute. Yeah, I'm gonna do that. I don't think you're gonna do it. I don't believe you. I don't believe you. I'm growing, Charlemagne. I'm grown. You said something earlier

when you was talking about, you know, Diddy that I thought about but I never like heard anybody speak about. Like when you know, somebody later in life, that he probably is a whole different person.

He probably has, you know, grown and evolved and learned from, you know, those mistakes. But we wouldn't know that. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And I honestly, and I think that people think that like, oh, are you trying to protect him? It's like, no. Literally, like, when we talk about, like, Uncle Richard, please, like church, he says, like,

oh, that's through church. And he was just so, like, trance to instill so much that I think that he probably experienced before. and that's why I'm like, okay, this is a man that has changed because of all the shit that he probably previously went through. Oh, man, I saw him. We was at Bishop T.D. Jakes. He was at the Potter's House one Sunday, and he was there,

and I saw him bawling, like bawling, like throwing himself on the altar, right? This was, it's like maybe two years ago, I think? No, I couldn't have been, maybe two, maybe three years ago. I don't matter. Maybe two, three years ago. And I just remember thinking to myself, like, boy, he doesn't have been through it. Like he's going through something right now. Yeah, because he always, like, you know, kids need to go to church on Sunday.

You need to turn some teeny jakes through this, through there. Like, okay. Yeah. And I got more into, because I always had a relationship with God, but more into church. Did he help you grow spiritually? Um, yeah. He always sent me servants and stuff like that. Like, do this before you go pray before you.

And do this when you always have to type of to God. What is it day like for creation? Because I know, I've seen you wake up, taking your kid to school, and you'll be listening to the radio. Like, what is it a regular day like for you in Miami? Wake up, take my case at school, go home, check my emails, call my management, whatever it is that I'm feeling I got to express myself. And I start working on new things.

I think that I'm like constantly trying to create and like come up with new ideas and, you know, explore new things because I'm like, what's like for me outside music? And that's been an entrepreneur. So it's always like trying to come up with new products or like, what can I create as different? What people doing is that I can really grab their attention

and make this another moment? Cool. Unless you want to do more Corisha, please. I'm here for Carisha, please. We bring a Carisha please back, God damn it. We're going to bring Carisha please back. No, we're going to care that. Carisha, please, Carisha please.

But I'm glad that, like, I had a break from season one or two because now I got so many ideas of how I want to do season three, season three different. Like, now I'm like, I want this to be. different. I want to approach it like this. I want to do it this way. I don't want to do it this way. So it just gave me a moment to really sit and like look at it and see like what was different

about season one. What was different about season three? How can I, I mean, too, how can I grow season three? Like what can I do to make the fans want it the first, the first time they saw it? Because season one, like, I don't know if y'all was one of the ones that was hanging out. Yep, y'all said did he brought my own. He did, though. Award. You want to be, what was it, BET hip-hop? Yes, I earned that, Shalameen.

You had four episodes. But you want to know, okay, I have four episodes in what was it. Four episodes. Yes, the four. And I love for Richard Puckett. It was Kevin Gates. Diddy was the second, no, Kevin Gates and Diddy, I don't know how it went, but the first episodes was powerful episodes. And then it was tied between Drink Chams and Creight.

Drink Chal was already out. It was on revolt. Carisha Pleas was new. It was a new vibe, a new experience. I had hook on there. I had people getting wide open. We had a statement. We getting into the smoke.

The trailer was different. You had no cocaine. You had no cocaine. No, but we had hookah and drink the vibes. So I felt like it was something different. Something that's always different and new, people are going to be on it. You know, people own stuff that's trendy or that's new. I think it was new and it was also me, like Carisha interview or somebody.

So how would you make a difference in the season of the, awful. I want it to be, I want to have, like, I feel like I do have real conversations, but I want to interview on a different level, like a real deep level. Like, I want to go deeper. Like, who are talking to people,

like with Sarah Jake Roberts? Yeah. I would love to see that. Like, I would love to see that. Like, I would love to see that. Like, I really want to talk to Obama. He's cool. He's the president.

Michelle O'Barrick. Yeah. You would be good on Michelle? They should try to get you on Michelle's podcast for you. They should. She won't make it cry, though. She's going to bring something out of you. Yeah.

I mean, I love to sit down with, you know, the first lady. That's the thing I do be hating about, just when they look at certain people, especially us from the South. They think we slow for some reason. Yeah. We're not realizing, like, do you understand where we come from? Mm-hmm. And the things that we learn early, like, we get instilled with, like, common sense

and sovereign values that. put us in a position to where we can prosper anywhere in the world. Yeah. Because we don't, we keep things simple for the most part. Yeah. And I also, and I, like, as a mother, I've been looking at my kids. I would like, dang, what can I do differently? Or how am I raising my kids differently on how I was raised?

Because we're still in Miami. So even though we're not in the hood, the environment is still the same. You know, like the kids that they're going to school with and things like that. So I think about that a lot too. I just want you to give yourself grace, man. I need to. You're doing good. Like, you're, number one, you're alive.

Mm-hmm. Right? And, you know, your child is doing well. You're not in jail. Like, you've beaten the odds already. Like, think about where you come from. Like, when you say you shot the video for a news, newsflash back in your hood. Look at that environment and be like, yo, I came up out of this.

I'm the roles that grew from this concrete. So, yo, continue to give yourself grace, know what God got playing for me. That's why when, you know, people will laugh and they're like, oh, she says she's going to be the next black Oprah. Like, you know, you laugh because Oprah already black. But I don't know. You really might end up being that. Who am I to say you're not going going to end up being that? Yeah. Anything is possible. You got to believe in yourself. That's right. A lot of people don't believe in their self. That's a fact. I don't got to stuff out. Ever. You never felt that. I mean, I do at times, but I got to kick out of the past. I feel like,

girl yes you can because you gotta be like delusional a little bit to get where you want to go when the last time you said you can't do something and then you snapped out of it probably like

today I was like it's so hard for me to take a sister to work out I can't do it because I'll work out for a month it's hard for me to eat clean I say you could do that you could do that

you got a train of mine shit it is hard to eat clean when you're from Miami you got the licking right there I know that I'm doing these shows every night and so who cuts the drinks you see what I'm saying but I can do it
