It's a very cheap meal, but guess what, it's a very healthy meal, especially that Navy beans. So if you got to go buy food for your family, you might not be able to buy meat, but focus on the basics, the beans, the rice, and the water, and everything will be okay.

If you need to vent Call us up right now It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Everybody It's DJMV Jess To Larry and Charlamine the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Lawlerosa is here. And we got a special guest in the building. Big Lola. Lola, bro. Welcome. Uh-uh, uh-uh. How you feeling? I feel good.

I can't complain. Y'all like it early. It's the breakfast club. I know. I know. What's up? New project out? Yes, new project out.

How's it feel? It feel good. Oh, my God. I feel like, I just feel like a new person. Why have? Because the last project I put out, y'all, I'm not going to hold you. It just, my mom wasn't there. Like, I wasn't there mentally.

Why not? What was going on? Like I say, success, once you get it, you don't know how to navigate it when you first get there. So it took me some time to, like, really enjoy my moment, be grateful for my talent. and just celebrate myself so mentally I wasn't there. That's why with Dennis Project, Dennis' daughter project, I was so vulnerable because I started thinking about what happened before my moment and I couldn't tap in.

But now I'm like, I bet I got it. Like, I'm sure. So you didn't enjoy the moment of your, when you released your first album? No, no. And I just sitting there pretending like, I remember the last time I was with you. I was like, I was like, I'm good now. No, I was not.

I was just trying to trick myself into thinking that I was okay, but I wasn't. I saw you talk about, and I heard you say this, I was like, I felt it. It resonated with me. You were talking about how that feeling, but also feeling like, wait, is this really happening? Am I supposed to be here? Is it all going to be going tomorrow? Like, it was freaking you out. Like, you didn't know what one day after the other was going to play.

Yes, that's exactly how I was feeling. And then you don't know what that feeling is. Like, you know you're feeling something, but you're on. know how they explain it and you don't want people to look at you like you crazy but you know you going through something and then i don't vent to everybody about things like i'm not that person i'd be like oh i'm going through this and i'm sad no you could be sensitive so you could be sensitive a little bit lola i mean i guess i guess i like that though because you know you rap with such a big voice that big brooklyn energy but what's something in your life you still feel

small about like something you you're scared to admit you're still working on is that My confidence is there It's not about having a confidence It's about being confident enough To not care to show my confidence Because you think about other people before yourself Like I think about stepping on people toes Before I'm 100% me

And you shouldn't do that because that means you holding back So that's what it be It's like I know I can do this, I know I can do that But dang with this person feel away If I start feeling myself a little bit more So what? And it's like, so what? Right, exactly.

You should. But I was going to ask with this project, do you ever try to chase the first project? Because you had successful records, big records. Do you ever say, I got to stay on top? Does that bring you the pressure? No. See, the pressure was doing the last project. This time around, it's like, no, I'm having fun.

Like, I got to remember that I'm rapping because I enjoy doing it. So, no pressure. Like people underestimate you because of your size? Yeah. That's why I'd be rapping like I'm six foot two. I've never seen nobody have a security guard that has to put you. He puts you on his shoulders to get you in and out of spot. Like that is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Yeah, and I'd be like, wee. Do you like proving people wrong, though? I used to like proving people wrong, but not no more. Because I realize that that's a dead end. Like, you can't waste your time trying to prove people wrong. You got to prove yourself right. on this project i bet the from the first song what's up with it it seems like it's like a temperature check so that's not proving people wrong what temperature are you checking because it seems like

you like oh y'all was looking for me i'm here i was checking everybody body temperature like because my body so hard yo lowly so i'm checking everybody body temperature because it's like my body different like i'm a hard body over here like what's up with it like this ain't no play play I'm for real so let's get into it what do you feel like has been like the biggest uh I guess things that have been thrown at you from opposition that you felt like you had to let people know like I'm not worried about I see it but I'm not worried about y'all because that's kind of what that song gives me is like you addressing some things or being a female artist in the rap business I feel like they put so much pressure on you it's like unnecessary pressure and then

you'll get tricked like you get tricked out your spot so I'm like basically I'm saying you ain't going to trick me out my spot what's up with it? The chat said fix your shirt Oh the chat oh the poobies You know I ain't really got nothing but it's looking good Why not? But yeah they give you unnecessary

I'm good now Yeah I think she's good chat Is she good It's an a ariola's all on display No y'all is not I wasn't paying no things No it wasn't it I just think they saw the top of your bra Yeah it was the top it's new

Is this a new time? You know the chat disrespect, but don't look at the chat. One of the shit, like, we like it. Nope. That's crazy. But, you know, they put unnecessary pressure on you, so it's like, at a point, yeah, I did feel like my back was against the wall, and I'm like, no, I'm not going out like that, so what's up with it? What's something about the rap game that's way nasty than you expect? It's really a game you got to play, and you got to learn to play it.

It's like, everybody is not your friend, for sure. This is a business. And if you do create some friends along the way, it's a great thing. But keep it to a minimum. Yeah, I heard on the album, you was talking about people that was fronting on you, but you gave A. Boogie a lot of problems.

Yes, I did. Yeah, because he took me on my first tour. And he set me up clean. Like, my set was on his set in the middle of his set. So the crowd is already warmed up. You know what I'm saying? And then I come in and then I'm like, ah, y'all ready for Boogie again?

And they're like, yeah, so he set me up right. Can you talk about how? So it was A Buggy. I remember I came and saw you a while ago. Future was at the Barclay, and they loved you there, and they gave you so much love there. How impactful and important was it for people like that to wrap their arms around you, but do it in a very authentic way that gave you the best platform, put you in the right place in the shows and things like that? Yeah, it just, it allowed people to accept me more, a little more faster.

It wasn't forced. It was just like, damn, why we ain't see this girl before? You know what I'm saying? Do people ever say that you to New York? And they try to make you cut New York down a little bit? No. Mm-mm.

No. If anything, they asked me to be more New York. Like, can I hear your accent? They'd be like, can I hear your exit? I agree. Can I hear some lingoes? And I'll be like, I don't, just talk to me. You are New York.

I was saying this morning, New York, but I was like, y'all, it would be ill. she was almost like DMX on. I love DMX. Because of how you look aesthetically. She kind of is, though. She is. She is.

You got the dog in the video? That's kind of sympathy. I mean, I'm influenced. I was going to put on some tips, but I was going to put on the hills. I was, but I was like, all right, girl, pack the but her butter's up. Like, you always sweating up on.

But I'm very much influenced by DMX, though. It's a song called What on a project. And, oh, it gives, it gives Norrie, too. And it's very New York. You mentioned people switching up on you, too, once you got your first plaque. Yeah. Was it family? Was it other artists?

What was it? It was a lot of people, man. Like, ugh. And you know what the thing is for me? It's like, I didn't even pay no much attention to it because I'm not, I'm not a person that's into drama. So I know when you feed into drama, then you don't feed into yourself. So, yeah, it switched up. Like, you know.

but that's what comes with it. You know what I'm saying? At least that part, I kind of already knew, but it's different when you go through it. You know what I'm saying? Do you feel like female rappers get boxed into things? Like, they want you to either be sexy

or gangster, just do club records. They don't know what they want us to do. You got to know what you want to do because it's like, whatever you're thinking, that's not what it is. This is, whatever I'm giving you is what you get. You got to be confident. You have to have way more confidence

than the male artist for sure Which land do you think people try to People wrongly try to put you in Um Drill They tried to but I I cleaned that up It's your energy

But then you came with the Bryce and Tiller Situation which I love that for you Because I feel like so many people got to meet You as an artist Because the song was so big But it's the energy of your music That feels like Drew Yeah that's but

But I'm not going to front Yeah because I love pop smoke You know what I'm saying? I love his energy. I might get on the drill beat, but I might talk about different things. But my tempo in my pocket and my energy is going to be high. Do selling records mean a lot to you, or do you just like the music you put out? Because you just talked about the Brysonilla bracket.

Like, there's like plaques and the fact that you... They're really about to start hitting on you now. No, no, they're really about to start hanging on you now. No, no. To the mic. To the mic. On behalf of Team 80 and Arista records, we want to congratulate you on a gold plaque. Oh my God, thank you.

Well, yeah, it means a lot for me. What does that mean to you? This means that I'm... That's no most big as you, Loves. I got on hills. I got on hills. I got on hills. Let me...

I play the bed with you, you're steaks me. You know why I think I love that for you Because I feel like when that record hit And it really hit It was at a time where people were trying to figure out If you would be able to do everything you did Like you don't play with it And do it again and you did it bigger

I don't slap you. I can't believe it's my mom's which I can call my mom's. Yeah Oh man yeah because listen They people was doubting me before I got my first one Like they was doubting me All around the board and then it's like Sheesh

Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early.

Is there a chronotype for that or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about. Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other.

Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know, we always say New Year, New Me, but real change starts on the inside. It starts with giving your mind and your spirit the same attention you give your goals. Hey, everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of checking in on the Black Effect Podcast Network. And on my podcast, we talk mental health, healing, growth, and health. everything you need to step into your next season, whole and empowered. New Year, real you.

Listen to checking in with Michelle Williams from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are you desperately hoping for change in 2026, but feeling stuck? Just spinning your wheels and old routines and bad habits. I'm Dr. Lari Santos, and in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab, going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck, unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your mind. I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy. We'll look at ways

to reignite your sense of purpose, rediscover your values, and get more creative. We'll also explore how to design a life that feels more fulfilling. It's sort of like the game of life. I don't know if you ever played that game. Oh my gosh, yes. You take the car along and you try and get money and you try and get degrees, and you try and get to the end where either you have a mansion or a ranch or a shack. And once you get to retirement, you're done. What about the whole path along the way? So join me to get unstuck in 2026. Listen to the Happiness Lab on the Iheart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. Get slept on. You know what I'm saying? You still get slept on. But it's cool. Like, if you're not strong enough to be in this game, then the success

This ain't going to come. But talk about what that means for you, right? The fact that you're selling records, this one is gold. What does that mean seeing that plaque and all your hard work coming through with these sales? It just means that all my dreams are coming true. And it means that when I was saying to my mom, like, I just feel like I'm somebody in this world, somebody important, that I wasn't tripping. It was true. Yeah.

Like, I really felt it. And it just shows that I'm going to be able to. Kim up, your mom, I got you, baby. I'm a continuing paying no bills, girl. Is your mom your mom your biggest fan? Because that's the first thing you said, I need to call my mom. Is that your biggest fan?

Yeah, my mom is the reason I resign from my job to pursue a music career. So I will always, like, have her back because she always have moms. You got a record card. It was all a dream. And you mentioned that Survivor's remorse held you back from celebrating your win.

Yes. Are you going to celebrate this? Yes, I'm going to celebrate that. I promise. This is a different time. I'm going to celebrate that when I promise you that. So you've reached a place now where you can celebrate those. Yes, like, I feel like, dang, I should be happy for myself.

And I shouldn't feel like, because I didn't went and found this success that I got to worry about where you are at in the level of success of your life. You know what I'm saying? Like, yours is going to come. I waited for mine. I've been on a bench for a very long time. I sat on a bench and I watched the game. That I'm in the court. Like, dang, can you cheer for me?

So what were you feeling Survivor's remorse about? Exactly. Like just with everything the littlest things like being able to pay my bills on time

and I still know people that that's not able to do so. You know what I'm saying? Like the littlest things was holding me back that I felt bad and it's like why would you feel bad

when it's your time and you got to keep going so that these people could be in your position too. Right. So at what point in your success did you realize it was okay to help yourself?

When nobody was there, when I was going through it in my room by myself when I was like I was depressed and nobody was there and I'm not saying that nobody didn't want to be there I just dealt with it by myself but I got through it

so I'm like okay now you got to start putting yourself first you do know though that you got to take care of yourself and family first because a lot of times that happens to a lot of people and they take care everybody else and they go broke and then they go broke or something happens that's right

That's tough You do understand that part of it though Yes When young girls from Brooklyn look at you and say I want a rap too What's the realest guy that you can offer I will say When they tell you too aggressive

Be even more aggressive Yeah say with your chest girl Shake Say with your tattas Just don't show them Here's chat It's something you manifested for 2026 that scares you

In the best one the scariest thing right now for me would be knowing that I know my worth I know my worth and that's the scariest thing when somebody know they worth they ain't taking no

I ain't taking nothing from nobody I don't care who it I'm standing on it like I'm six too you are because I am I'm seven two but today I'm six two because I'm sitting down

Ray J. You said, I didn't let them on stage. Yeah, Ray J wanted to do the question right there. You could ask Ray J. What happened? I was like, yo, let's do it. Let's make it happen. He was like, shrink me.

Just, I don't care what you. You just, I don't care what you. Just, I don't just make it happen. And I'm like, I didn't know he was going to be that. I said, bad, I got you. They didn't let him on stage. It wasn't me. That's not Ray J's story.

Ray J's story was I wanted to do the verses right in the dance of Mario was like, nah. Out of all people, you trust Ray J's story? Damn. You told them. You trust Ray Jays' story out of all people? You? I don't know. I don't know.

I didn't know what was happening back there. Like, it was a plan and then it did happen. So, you know. Wait, you know, we're going to run into each other. Why they keep sleeping on you, though? I know, yeah. Why do they keep sleeping on you? Tell me, why they keep sleeping on me?

I don't know. Hold on, you said, hold on, we got to go back. Yes, he did. Hold on, bro. He said it with his chest, too. Ray J. Oh, that's crazy. He got three in the possible.

I don't think you can fuck with him. He got crazy. Five. About 10. Six. Yeah, that's kind of crazy, bro. But this is the same thing that would have more verses. He said one song for one song.

And he said new music. Because he can only do one song. Damn. Right. That really, like, really like, people would be like, I, that was a strong. Because versus you got, it's like, it got to be strong, you got to have some strong. It's not, you know, it's not a joke if you're going with the right,

if you're going up against the right person, you've got to have a strong record. Because people, people, you don't know how they're going to be feeling that day. But they might love the song one day, one day might be like, that's better. People aren't consistent. But you can do one wish three times because technically people have one wish. He definitely could, but he only got one wish. And then, but he can do it three times and then you got sex and can out. No, for sure.

He got some. You got a wait a minute. Bro, he got a couple of records, bro. Hit it first. bro. And then what? But like, they're not timeless

classic records that make you feel some, like it's just a different. Y'all got to just stop taking me out of these conversations, bro, honestly. Y'all got to stop taking me out of these conversations, you know what I'm saying?

I get passionate about it and I love all my peers, well, like, you know what I'm saying? The internet shit is the internet shit, like whatever. But like, y'all got to put me in different conversations.

But I get that during my hiatus, like I've had to prove, like remind people that, you know, like I really, God put me in this because the gift is really there. My persistence and my ability to continue to push and continue to put out music is still there. My passion is still there. I'm still hungry. You know, I take it serious. You know,

but I think some people are like internet, have fun on the internet, and there's some people really take it serious. I'm one of those that take it serious. I think people forget because of your hiatus, right? And the reason I said that because I forgot. And we went on tour last day. We went on like an armbi tour. And I DJed for Mario during that tour. And when you understand, when we're playing six songs in those deck 15,000 arena is singing them six songs only because we only got 15 minutes we would play more music but yeah go ahead

but the six songs you understand it's like oh I get it now I'm not I'm not going to lie the other day I'm like nah when the interview was playing I'm like oh yeah I forgot that one yeah oh yeah I did forget that one yeah yeah now it happens I think it's natural you know I saw

your interview with Mike Epps the other day I was like yo it was a great interview because he made some good points about people forget you got to remind people and I think that it's just the way of the internet as well as just like this new world of like everybody's receiving stuff so fast and it's like if you don't put music out for six months where you've been at you know what I'm saying

but for us as artists a six months that's that's a small campaign it might take especially in R&B it might take six months for people to even know you got a joint that's less that's heating up you know but that's just a part of the process you've been in the game that you were a teenager what's something the grown version of you had to unlearn from the young version of you a lot of things bro but I was start with you know not falling in love with my creation meaning you know when you

when you create music and you put it out to the world you got to let it go you know you got to let the people that connect with the music connect with what you're doing connect with it and you got to keep creating like keep creating don't pigeonhole yourself to oh you got to make another hit like let me love you you got to make it it's really just about evolving bro and because there's so many other things that happen in life as to why the music sound the way it does now right Moose swings is a completely different vibe from Glad You Came, which I released just a year ago. So really just being free in the creative process because we're in a world now where it's about exploring. Who are you like picking up the phone and calling when you're going through the process of like, I got to re-remind people or I'm trying to make this sound different than that and not chase that record.

But ego-wise, like there has to be a part of Mario that's like, this has to be big because I'm Mario. Like who coaches you through those battles? Coaches me? Um, nobody, God, honestly God, I'm gonna be honest with you because I think a lot of people that's around me every day, they just believe in me. You know, they're, they're, they believe me. They tell me real shit, but they believe in me and it's like they understand how strong I am mentally. But there's no person that I call to ask advice about those types of things because I think that my journey is my journey and I just have to trust God. And I got to trust the people that I entrust creatively, right? So when I went to studio to stop mood swings, me and my boy, Dray Moore, who I met through one, of my managers, A.K. with 365, we've been on each other for years. Like, he did a bunch

of future records, but he never hop into his R&B back. He's always wanted to. I say, yo, less, less, like, I want to hop into this darker, moodyer part of me as an R&B artist that's like moody and still musical and R&B, but just like more authentic. And so he's like, yo, let's get in the studio, let's go. And it was, it was like working with a friend and somebody that you go over their house, they come over your house. You know their kids, you know their family but y'all both really young goats it's different than working with somebody it's like I'm a fan of your music I've always

want to work with you but I don't know where you live I don't know you know what you're into it's a different thing the foundation is there so that to me and I trust the team that I work with and we just make the music that we love we go to studio we might go to studio and play verses with ourselves like yo you play your favorite

five records ever and I'm gonna play mine against yours and that inspires to get the studio session started but you won't do that with Ray J though you know you know to play with I'm trying to Ray Day don't want no smoke with me on any level He knows that's why he got to always He you know

He's a major troller though It's like how do you execute a major troller Even if you execute him He's gonna come back from the dead What did you realize that and not take it personal Huh What did you realize that and not take a personal Real n-knit is shit

Because it's different from like And I had other people that like Hit me and really got on some really sis some sissy but like, right, Jay, like, we talk, you feel me? So it's like, he can say some wild shit, and I might say some wild shit the next day. But it's like, he's a major troller. So he's going to go deep in the quicksand, whereas I got out of this

going on, I'm on tour right now. You know what I'm saying? I ain't going to go that deep in the quicksand. But yeah, whatever. Mariano was mad, too. He was pissed off. There didn't see trolling. He seemed like he was hurt.

You know, it's crazy. Can I be honest? Yes. The honesty is this. No, no, no, for sure. The honesty is that all we were doing is, having conversations about things y'all have but nobody don't really talk

about it all the way we're just having the conversation the same that everybody do people in the comments actually went crazy on everybody I spoke about or answered the question about than I did like you giving too much grace and it's like

damn is it that serious why is it that serious? Because you're an artist that can actually say and you're talented and I'm sure they look they're like they're like they Mario dope is shit you don't feel the same way about me That's crazy.

I feel like everybody got strengths and weaknesses. Like if somebody can dance their ass off and they ask somebody to question like, yo, out of these people, I'm going to ask who can dance or who can't? Let's just say always on that. He was like, yo, can Mario dance? He was like, ah, hit him, miss.

I would laugh. I would be like, damn, he right. Right. Because I don't know. Because that's the craft. But they know him for dancing, right? They know that's his craft. I get what you're saying.

Right? So that's, you know, it's just, It takes shit too serious, bro. Move swings, right? So you up and down on that? Is this like, love, angry? It's a mixture of, like, love. It's really a conversation.

It's a conversation for you. When I started move swings, it was just about 90s R&B vibes. And I'm like, yo, how do we take that feeling and, like, update it? And this was like the approach. And then I would have, like, a couple of different,

a Draymore executive produced it, where with a lot of great producers are here. But yeah, the conversations are different and also the textures of what I sing in is different like I got a song called Fortune Cookie in there that I've never spoken like this before but the actual texture of

the way I'm using my voice. A song called Moan the same way. I'm giving you different moves of who I am as an Rambi artist how I think about intimacy, how I think about love and just, you know, just talking my shit honestly. Yeah, check out. It's... What Asian woman inspired Fortune Cookie? Damn it, man.

Hey, yo. What Asian women? That is crazy. It wasn't Asian women. It's just women in general. think women are like fortune cookies bro like you know it's like you never know what you're going get if you really dive in and really get to know a woman on those more intimate levels you know and um it's something that i've always prided myself when getting to know someone i'm in a relationship now and i'm still learning my girl i'm still learning like how to unlock certain parts of her and and you know how to make her feel safe in moments where i'm not around and like just so many

elements to having a relationship with a woman whether you're just a friend or whether you in something deep like i am it's just you never know what you're going to get you got to crack open a fortune cookie obviously the record goes a little deeper into some like yeah more intimate but like yeah how did your girlfriend deal with all of the like being mario's girlfriend everything's public like when you posted her there's like such a big response because they're like she's not a black woman like how does she deal with seeing stuff like that i think that she she's a very like analytical person like me like she dives into things to understand the psychology behind and like what's what what does it really mean she understood to a certain degree

but she's also human you know so we've had conversations she's like I I clapped back at people before she clapped back at a couple of people I'm like oh just don't yeah don't even don't let it you know and then once that first initial one happened she was like oh okay I get it now and I told her you know it's it's one of those things where people until they understand that you got something real people hate you before they love you you know I'm saying sometimes and that and that they don't even have to know you right But then there's a lot of support. I don't want, and I think sometimes the internet,

like the dark and the ugly shit get more highlighted than the love, right? Even with me, sometimes I see all these love you, I love what you doing. We know you love black, when we know you don't got another. And then that one or two comments that's like dark. You're like, oh, you know what I'm saying? And that's just human nature, right?

So we just work and do it together. It's my first, like, real public relationship in this way, where it's though like, the picture we were going on vacation for my birthday and we had to take some pictures that she posted a picture of her pregnant on her page before I did but her page was probably like baby nobody's going to say I'm like babe I'm go ahead right next thing you know is

you know so I was trying to tell her like you know but I'm not ashamed of it so it's like yo go ahead do your thing and so it was beautiful like I'm really proud that I'm able to say out of all the men and my family especially on my mom's side like that I can give my son something that I didn't have you know when he touches

when he incarnates on this planet he's going to have a different life than I had I'm proud of that you know and the growing pains of being an artist who's now more open with his life I should did this seven years ago 10 years ago but now I'm being more open

so this is the part of it you got to go through it I'm ready come on jump me in congratulations put me in thank you hey congratulations to you hold on real quick girl I want to give you your flowers I'm so proud of you just I'm so proud of you know what we come from you know you're raising a young king you got another baby that you just had you've met you're married now right yes I am married now like you're doing your thing and I'm proud of you

you know what I'm saying I love you and I'm proud of you I'm saying I just wanted to say that yeah for sure what do you what do you feel Mario the man has grown the most compared to Mario the artist that's a great question thank you um I think that I think that I think that I I've been able to shadow work myself on a more honest and authentic level than I have before. Because not just because I'm about to be a father, but because I see the world around me changing in ways that I'm like, when things get out of control, if you can't always control how your environment is going to, to, uh, what's going to happen in the environments around you because when you're an artist things happen around you you have to be exposed you if you want to have success

you got to be out here right and so it's really important for me to have controlling myself on on a deeper level and controlling my emotions and control of my how I view the world how I view people how I view my relationships with people getting better at relationship building because I wasn't good at that as a young kid and as a young adult and so

just really doing that shadow work bro and also becoming a better friend to people that I consider important in my life instead of being like closed off or being like okay I can't trust nobody like I'm not opening up to no like having a little bit more grace and understanding that bro with greatness comes the opportunity for leadership and with the opportunity for leadership you're able to actually see the world from a different space when you take on that role of being vulnerable and being a leader, which means coming up with solutions, right? And it could be anything. It could be in work. It could be in your personal life. It could be for your family. It could be for free. And I think that that's

something that God bless me with experiences to get through so that I can help people come up with solutions. You know, and it could be small things, bro. Somebody could call me one day and be like, yo, I'm going through this. You know what I'm saying? I just made my first, you know, $20,000, bro, my first $1,000, like, woo, ha, shit, I was like, those small things. I've fucked up money before. I know how to, I could give you advice on that. If I can't give you advice on something,

I know somebody who can't. Just being more open and vulnerable about life, man, and knowing that everybody's not out to hurt you, you know? And that comes from growth and doing shadow work. When you first did your shadow work, did your shadow self-scape? It scared me when I felt like people weren't respecting the work that I was doing myself,

and that triggered me. It was like, what the fuck of the purpose of doing it if nobody cares? And they're still going to judge you. And I realized like, yo, bro, it doesn't matter if people don't see the work that you're doing. You can't change their perspective. You can't change how people see things because they can only understand things on the level that they're experiencing, right? I was reading this book called, the author's name is called Power versus Force. I don't even read that, but it's really good.

And it basically talks about life by way of calibration. like it's from zero to 600 right so you can have a conversation with your homie about running down on somebody that might be calibrated at like a 10 or 20 but then you can have a conversation about growth and health and build building community building that's calibrated at like a 450 500 it just talks about how these things affect your body how to affect your mind and I got it from this chiropractor but he doesn't do regular chiropractor work he does like spiritual chiropractor work whereas though he finds where your trauma is are you know where you're lying to yourself where you're not being honest when the first time I work with him he brought me uh he does it like in his backyard he lives in LA and then he was like he said hold both your arms out

he's like I'm gonna ask you a question and you could choose to tell me a truth or tell me a lie the one where I lied on them my arm got weak like literally I'm not like it was like if it was like and I knew I was lying and then the one where I told the truth it was like my arm was steady.

It was strong. And I was like, damn, that's crazy. You don't think that, like, your body and your mind and how everything worked. Like, the truth, even if it's ugly, is more powerful than a lie. I mean, you could take that in so many different ways. But I would like to think that I want to live in a space where I can live as much truth as possible. And the lies aren't as that I tell myself. You know what I'm saying?

So I don't know. All that stuff is just a part of my journey. Just say one time your accent be going in and up, your Baltimore accent. I ain't say that. You're talking to me about the Ebony Pounder. It's cool. L lie, lie. It do.

It do sometimes. You want to know what my evenings actually look like? Homework questions. Someone needs a permission slip signed. The dog's begging for a walk. Someone's yelling for a snack. And somewhere in the middle of all that, I'm supposed to figure out dinner?

And then I forget what I asked you about And he was like And I was like Oh, yeah, he's from there. Because I haven't heard this interview, that's why I... I've been living in L.A. for, like, 15 years now, so it's shit this. But if I go home for two weeks, you say, when he gets mad to come up?

It's crazy. Or when he get upset about something, that shit. We're trying to get mad at fucking. You good luck. You do not get Mario-old. You definitely don't. At all. So, question, right?

At all. When they got mad at you for kicking the cameraman offstage. Yeah, yeah. I thought that was kind of crazy because that's your time to perform. You don't know this dude is on stage. I think that it was just people not used to seeing me like that, bro. Yeah, mad.

Yeah, like, so it's like, I try not to get mad, bro, because when I get mad, I get mad, you know what I'm saying? And then it's like, I'm like, it takes a lot to get me mad, right? So when I get there, hopefully, I don't want it to be seen ever. Like, I don't want people to see that side of me. Like, and it's not like, I'm not human. I just, it can get taken out of context, which it did, right? So I'm going to tell the story, officially here on Breakfast Club.

Yes. They hit us for this fair. I'm like, okay, it's closer. We'll take the sprinter up, go up there, do it, knock it out. Ooh, we come back to the crib, right? Cool. Family already say, ooh, all right, cool. Lloyd, a couple of hours.

All right, bad, let's do it. I get to my shows usually. If it's shows with other people, I get there like, like when we're doing a drink, how they get that, like, 10, 15 minutes before? Because I don't like sitting in the dressing. I might get antsy, like, man. So no one told me that a cameraman was going to be on stage. At all.

So when I go on stage, I'm performing, and I keep seeing a figure. Around me, the stage is pretty big. But I keep seeing a figure, I'm like, okay. Then when I saw him for the first time, I'm like, damn, did he jump up from? Because he didn't have a camera, bro. He had an iPhone on a joint. Go look at the video. So I'm like, he must have jumped from out of the crowd.

He came on my irony trip or whatever. He's over there. But then he got comfortable. And on the stage, they had too many speakers. They had more speakers because usually every artist. get to say what they wanted stage to be like they left the other

artist speakers on the stage so it was more speakers than I was supposed to be so I'm looking for where he about to go and I tripped one time over the court I ain't say nothing

I'm like man crazy I got to watch up then as I'm walking back to the right side of the stage he's all the way down stage like near the speaker

like you should be like further back like you feel me and then that moment's like you gotta get the off the stage bro right you didn't already

I'm like you gotta get the it wasn't even like I hate you get off the stage Like, it was just like, get the fuck off. I just, you feel me? It was like that. And then you're right.

Then you even apologize shortly after. Yeah, it was like, oh, that's a half-ass apology, but. You should have to have to apologize. You didn't even realize he went on tour. Went on tour. What you mean? He went on a press tour about it. Oh, wow.

I was like, I'm like, bro, you know, let me just do it. But, yeah, that's what happened. He was, yeah. But he was supposed to be there apparently. And then, you know, but it really was just, I didn't know. He had an iPhone. Have you taken your girl to Baltimore? And she was.

Yeah, where she's been in Baltimore, like three. She went with me on Thanksgiving one year. We went to Baltimore, we went to Philly, family of Philly Baltimore. She's from, she's from Sacramento. She got a Mexican. You couldn't wait. Wait, hold on. You thought it was going to come from over here.

That's crazy. That's crazy. She got a Mexican. She's married to Mexican as well. Yeah, thank you, but he black and Mexican. I think you're just straight Mexican man Can I ask y'all a question? What's up, yeah?

Well, doesn't matter. No. It don't matter, yo. It doesn't matter, yo. It doesn't matter if you do it up there? Remember I'm saying? No, it don't. I just wanted to know how you're like.

Hold on, wait, doesn't matter that your girlfriend is Mexican? Yeah, like, doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to me. I'm maddened. I'm not, no, she's not that kind. What's your name? She's legal. Yeah, man, everybody's legal.

Yeah, everybody's good. Yeah. I think love is love. Love is definitely love. But I do like to see black men with black women, though, but that's just because that's what I feel. No, for sure. I love to see all of it.

I love to see all of us. But I want you to be in love. If you love her. Of course, man. I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be here if I didn't love her. I wouldn't. We wouldn't be here if we didn't love each other.

Or be procreating like this is. Exactly. 1,000% like we're having a beautiful experience right now. The only, you know, the hardest part, obviously is always the traveling, right? Being away from home, checking in, being like, damn. If I'm on staging, something's happening, I can't get there. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm, it's hard.

This has been hard because it's like things were already in motion these toys were already playing but I get off tour in December and I'll be home for all the holidays I don't think you owe anybody in explanation though

I think that's why it gets tricky it's like why are you explaining who you love you know it's not so much explaining who I love is it's the narrative of oh Mario doesn't like black women that I have an issue with and where this narrative was created from that's the thing about the internet is like

you can't just leave that you know out in the air that's crazy you know what I'm saying so I'd rather confront it so people understand that it's a lie and it's not true versus I'm not saying anything about it which I've done in a couple interviews since that interview

you know but the way he asked it was so he set me up I was the question you know what's your relationship with black women right no that wasn't the first question no that was like he was like do you have a problem with black women

That's a wild question The way, the way you answered it That's a wild question We played that clip here The way you answered it I don't think it It didn't make it any worse But I think it made people

Try to find another reason Why you don't like black something You got to understand Psychologically These podcasts and people When people are listening Everybody doesn't have the same way they receive things

And we're dealing with Y'all know we're dealing with You know we deal with in the company You know, and so it's like, yes, of course, like, I come from, I'm a black man who comes from a black city who comes from the, the struggles of black people in this country. So I come from what my core, a lot of my core fans come from. So, of course, it's like, if someone says something like, do you have a problem with black, the people who never even heard that question, be like, wait, you got a problem with black.

Right. It's like, it's a sight. It's like, right. So, of course, I got to sing, you know what I'm defending that. But then you bring in... To say that I love black women And black women Of the most beautiful creatures on this planet

And... So why do you hate them? No, he talked about it. What did you talk about? Yeah, damn. But that's what I'm going to say. I feel like it made people do what he's doing right now. Show you more.

So basically, bro, I... Hey, look, for everybody who hate Charlemagne, hey, listen, you understand. But where did y'all meet? What did you mean? You said, oh. We met... I met her in Florida, like, years ago

when I was living in my house. We met and her mom was living at the time. Yeah, we met. Like, we've known each other for like, like, nine years, you know what I'm saying? So we've seen each other through relationships. We've been friends for so long. Yeah. I'm happy for you, brother.

I appreciate you. I really enjoy this conversation. Yeah, let's do it. Hearing you do the work is good, man. Let's go. It's the breakfast club is Mario. With a donkey. It's time the donkey of the day.

There's a bunch of donkeys around here. With a hub. Yes. You are a dog. What the hell? What the hell in him? Some donkey today's just saw themselves. Salomey, give a tour.

Breakfast club all day. Give it to him. Oh, man, Salome, who you giving a donkey to do to me? Well, donkey today goes to a 43-year-old David Scott Jr. Now, I get on this radio every day and tell you all to do your jail math. Okay?

Your jail math is when you find yourself in a situation and you have to calculate whether or not you can afford to do whatever time you will have to do if you react a certain way to set situation okay everything has to be calculated all right the money you will spend on bail if you even get one uh the money you will spend on a lawyer can you even afford the time it will take to be arrested process detained etc etc you have to make all these calculations in your head before you make certain decisions now some of us have decided that if someone ever harms our kids in any way we go into jail and i too am in that number okay but what i need us parents to understand is there is levels

to reacting okay is one to before you harm somebody being the highest all right our kids are worth it all but everything doesn't require you to take it to one to 10 okay case and point the story of david scott junior from east point michigan all right he was arrested after he allegedly threatened to shoot up in elementary school because they was playing in his child's face. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to

ABC 7 Detroit, put a report, please. Police say a parent at Pleasant View Elementary School got so upset that his first grader didn't get snack time Wednesday that he made threats to staff members during child pickup. You allegedly confronted the teacher and stated words to the effect of

I'll air this out and I'll be back tomorrow. suspect 43-year-old David Scott Jr. shaking his head at the allegations in court Thursday for his arraignment. He pleaded not guilty and his bond set at $150,000 cash surety due to a criminal past. On Thursday, police added extra patrols to the area and the school had only indoor recess as an additional precaution. But that child's mother tells me there's more to this story. Tikesha Watkins says their son has been coming home from school hungry for weeks. Overwhelmed by loud noises, sometimes he'll skip lunch.

So snack time is sometimes the only time he has to eat. So he's been coming home hungry. But the school district told me there is no official snack time. While the mother wasn't there at Pickup Wednesday, she does not believe the allegations against Scott Jr. I mean, yes, we get upset his parents and certain things could have been said, but I do not believe that that came out of his mouth. Guess what race is? I got this one. Shut up. No. Hey.

Oh, my God. Okay, to act like they don't be appropriating our culture, too. You don't know what it's out. Okay. Now, I did look it up on Urban Dictionary, though. Okay, just to be sure. And Urban Dictionary says, airs this bitch out is a term used by gangsters

are really madhood people with guns. Okay, the example Urban Dictionary uses is, Jamal, man, F this. I'm gonna air this bitch out. Juanita, damn, you right. Let me go. grab my nine it's safe to say that urban dictionary is ran by people who wouldn't be considered urban okay by the way i hate the term urban but that site is clearly not ran by anyone from

coaching now david scott junior is saying he didn't say this okay i don't know if he did or not but whatever he said was enough to get him arrested and i just want my brothers to know that we don't always have to take it there okay whatever there may be and i also understand that this is a lot of us brothers first time being fathers and there is no manual for this thing but this is why smart people learn from their own mistakes and wise people learn from the mistakes of others. We must learn from David Scott Jr., okay? You don't have to threaten the teacher.

You don't have to threaten to shoot up the school, none of that, all right? Calmly, calmly request a meeting, okay? Request a meeting with the teacher or school administration to discuss your child not receiving a snack because when you're in this private setting, okay, emotions are less heightened, all right? The teacher in school can explain the snack policy are the fact that they may not

have a snack policy. Then both parties can find a solution. Okay, this approach reduces conflict. It opens up communication and it's just always good to have a witness around so nobody can say you said something you didn't. Okay, another thing you can do just always feel free to gather information

all right, policy review. All right, that is very important. Sometimes we just assume wrongdoing but maybe Davis should have checked to see if the school has an official snack policy. And then you would know that this child isn't actually missing snack time. They just don't, you know, have a snack policy, okay?

But that's why you should always make a formal complaint. That's another thing that you could do, all right? Write or submit a formal concern to the principal of school district. All of these things are better than making alleged public threat, okay? Because now you're in jail away from your child, and now you got to fight a case, all right? Money that could be going to your child's future is going to keeping you out of prison. This brother was charged with possession. of ammunition by a prohibited person.

Okay. That's a five-year felony. All right. Our $5,000 fine. He's also charged with an intentional threat to commit an act of violence at a school. That's a misdemeanor $1,000 fine. This orderly, I've seen, conduct and he's a habitual offender because this is his fourth offense. Three

previously committed crimes with drugs and weapons related, and his bond is $150,000. Okay, so that's about $15,000, because you usually got to pay 10%. Calculate your jail, math people. Calculate your jail math and always

ask yourself, will it be worth it? Please give David Scott Jr. the biggest he-hoff. No game, huh? And this is also why you got to be like, you know what, baby, you go down there and handle it. Because if I go down there and handle it, I'm going to jail.

That's true. Okay? You know what I'm saying? So you got to go turn to the baby mama and say, you go down there and handle it. Because if I go down there and handle it, I'm going to jail. Some people are not lying when they say that. Yeah. Okay? Damn.

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Mm-hmm. Morning, everybody. It's D.E.J. N.V., Jess, hilarious. Salomey and the guy. We are the breakfast club. Laurel Rosa is here.

We got a special guest in the building. Ray J. is here. Ray, how you doing, my brother? Bless this to you. That's a pelly, Pelly. That's a new designer. Well, welcome, Bray. How are you feeling, brother?

Are you good? I'm feeling good. You got a lot going on. A lot going on, yeah. I want to make it really, I'm happy that this is my platform now. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Yes. To go into the holidays in the Q4 correctly.

Okay. With respect and honor and love. Let's start with the legal stuff. What legal stuff? I thought you all didn't want to, I thought that we couldn't. Why can't we? Oh, no. Oh, you mean?

Yeah. I was going to say, first and foremost, I just want to tell people don't know that. But we really love you, Ray. I love you. Like for new listeners. because Ray was our first guest ever on the breakfast club. Before I went crazy on the rant. Before the rain.

I was the first guest on the breakfast club ever. Yes. You were right, right? I was the first guest ever. It's crazy. That's it. It was the first viral moment also on the breakfast club as well. Yeah.

So we love Ray. We talk about Ray all the time and good and bad. We just know what we love. Thank you. I would rather you guys always talk good about me, but it's okay. But the bad is on you, but. Yeah, and the bad also. Some of it is like entertaining.

You guys are my friends. And plus, we're all entertaining. and you guys have to do what you have to do. Charlemagne, though, sometimes I get a little emotional. All the time. Me and Ray had a good heart to heart earlier this year. Yeah, and so sometimes because I get emotional, you know, and I love you guys. But I do sometimes, but because, I mean, we're all in our zone.

I'm a journalist as well, and so I just feel a little bit like this is my personal people, but you guys have to keep it neutral, you know, throughout. about, you know, the day because that's the way you're supposed to be. So it can be one-sided because that's not what journalism is about. I appreciated the phone call, though, because I'm like, you know, there's not people that's going to be honest, and that's the way Ray was feeling. But he was on my live first. He was like, Charlemagne's a piece of issue.

I hate Charlemagne. I was like, call him. No, I think this is after that. He said calling. And then so we talked, even we went, I call Charlemagne a lot. And there's just times what I feel like, you know, sometimes y'all can have my back or, you know, in certain instances, what I'm going through. Just give it a little more seriousness on my side.

But we do. We protect Ray a lot. But Ray J got a comedian energy to where you don't know when he'd be in serious about. I was the first time we spoke. It was a serious conversation, but I didn't know when you're being serious. And sometimes I laughed and I put on mute because I didn't want you to fill away. But you're just... Laugh, put a mute is crazy.

Because he's funny naturally, but he's really serious and everything's so heartfelt. So you don't want to laugh, but... Yeah, a lot of people try to hold it in. But I'm serious. I'm serious. Everything that I've been going through It's been up and down And everybody has their up and down days

And I think with the streaming world And shout out to Kai Sanat For kind of like opening up his doors to Yeah, because he really like Put us really on in a stream in a different way And from there When you're on your streams And you're streaming 24 hours

It's like therapy Yeah So you go through these therapy sessions With your chat Because nothing's bigger than the chat And then you I don't know Every time it's going to go this viral

when I be saying certain things so then I watch it the next day and I'm like oh man I gotta stand on that but people don't know what I love to I love seeing you on stage with your sister and I love seeing your niece with you I love when I see your real family around you right that's when you look

your whole your whole and I was so excited when I found out we were coming up here together I'm like Vaughn this is everything because again I do want to turn the tides and I do want to showcase a different side of me because I think we've been crashing out to the left too much

and again everything is entertainment but you know you just want to make sure you kind of like guarantee to everybody that this isn't a liability situation or every time I'm in the airport and they're like we praying for you Ray J

God bless you man I hope everything's okay I'm like dang because people don't know when you're crashing out crashing out or if you're just entertaining so it's been a lot of we praying for you man God bless you man I hope you're going to be all right but people think you want drugs

they think you got mental health issues but which we all deal with our own mental health issues that mental health is serious and shout out to Dr. Cheyenne Bryant yeah she's I mean we talk a lot and off camera it's always off camera but she helps me through

certain things and Dr. Scott too out of Cleveland Pastor Scott helps me through some of some of the issues that I'll be going through too and it helps me man What have you learned? What have you learned about yourself? Well you got to watch yourself it's easy to know it when you just watch it

And I think without adding in the trolling, you know, it's just me just keeping it real. And a lot of times people can't, I think, keep it this real because there's a lot of different situations that might be in front of them. The job, their workspace, their partners, the people that around them that might fill a way that's paying, you know, the bills. Whatever it is, you know, there's a lot of things that people go through that keep them away from being this extremely blunt. But for me, it's not like that. And I think that I have to hold myself responsible to hold some of this stuff in as we grow. And as I grow, I'm getting older. And I want my needs to be proud of me.

And I want the team to be proud of me. And we can't crash out in 2026. So when the public paint you as the bad guy for years, what does that do to you mentally? How do you protect your peace now? You just turn into the bad guy. Oh, okay. Lean into your shadow side. Well, you not only lean into it because I think that's,

The only thing that I think makes sense, you know, it's almost like, you know, if you're doing something that's extremely believable, then it works. But if you're doing something that's not, and it might be really who you really are, people don't understand it. And so it, sometimes it takes a toll to try to like, hey, I'm going to be positive for 2026. Ray J's going to turn the new leaf. He's going to be a good person. but that's who I am internally no matter what so when the character comes out if it gets over the top and it's the impressions are up you know the profits are up you know what I mean the numbers are up then it makes sense but but then on the other side you know there's a negative side to that too

with whatever comments people are putting in I don't read any comments or nothing but overall um just I really want my my family to be proud of me and they want me to show a different side of myself. You know what I mean? That I don't... Okay. New Year, fresh start. And honestly, I'm starting with dinner. This year, I'm being smarter about where my energy goes.

It's a new year. And on the podcast's Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that

or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experience and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about. Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health.

We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy. We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know, we always say New Year, New Me, but real change starts on the inside. It starts with giving your mind and your spirit the same attention you give your goals. Hey, everybody, it's Michelle Williams, host of checking in on the Black Effect Podcast Network.

And on my podcast, we talk mental health, healing, growth, and everything you need to step into your next season, whole and empowered. New year, real you. Listen to checking in with Michelle Williams from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are you desperately hoping for change in 2026,

but feeling stuck? Just spinning your wheels and old routines and bad habits. I'm Dr. Lari Santos, and in a new year series of my show, The Happiness Lab, I'm going to look at the science of getting, well, unstuck. unstuck at work, unstuck in your relationships, and even unstuck inside your mind. I am the absolute worst culprit when it comes to getting into these ruminative loops and just driving myself crazy.

We'll look at ways to reignite your sense of purpose, rediscover your values, and get more creative. We'll also explore how to design a life that feels more fulfilling. It's sort of like the game of life. I don't know if you ever played that game. Oh my gosh, yes. You take the car along and you try and get money, and you try and get degrees, and you try and get to the end where either you have a mansion. or a ranch or a shack.

And once you get to retirement, you're done. What about the whole path along the way? So join me to get unstuck in 2026. Listen to the Happiness Lab on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows. Really show and so I'm up for it and I want to do it for 2026. Is Ray J sober now? Last time you were up here, you was playing with the low lean, but you look thinner. You look clearer.

So I'm assuming not anymore. with the lean yes yeah no not the lean um it's a certain things are are bad are bad and i think you don't even know last time you was up here you know me and shanlome me dumped it out and act like it was really there wasn't there and that's what that's where that's what i'm saying like we dumped it out that's not okay we you don't think we love you but we know it's it's okay it's okay now it's very expensive so it was just like very expensive But no, again, you have to have self-control eventually over time because if you have the option to make mistakes and just, and it works, the mistakes work, then you find yourself in a weird position because crashing out works. So how do you balance that with, you know, just being level in life?

And sometimes for me, it just gets confusing and everything just becomes blank. And it all just gets real blurry right now. You know, when you think about Raycon, Raycon,ronics, you built these $100 million businesses. To me, that's working. Absolutely. This crashing out is just attention online. That's not really working.

But it does work. It does work for impressions. It does work for certain skills when you're doing Snapchat, or you're doing Twitter, or you're doing Instagram, or you're doing Twitch, and you're running, you know, 15 ads an hour. And you want to see people. PM to be solid, right, and you're running them at night in late night, and you want those to work as well. So I think it all works if you're looking at it from a really scientific level, and I think

a lot of people don't think we look at it like that, but we do. But enough is enough at some point, right? And I don't know when it is. I don't know when enough is enough. Because I'm like, enough's enough now, but I'm like, is it enough? So are you changing a new leaf now? Because two days ago. I'm not even listening to this.

You called Mario, Mario Gay. I called Mario. No, I said I never seen Mario with a woman, but I love Mario, and I'm sure he has women, and I'm sorry, Mario. He's on Instagram with his pregnant. I'm so sorry. Exactly. So I made a mistake. Also, you said Wale was, you know, you said he didn't like the hospitality of his show and pretty much call him a sucker.

I'm sorry, Walee for that as well. And I want to extend my apology to Wale, Mario, he did a great job with Brandi. I appreciate Brandi for having my back. She said I needed to just slow down on all the extra cruel. curricular things that I do on the side and I would be able to compete. So you don't longer want to battle him in the verses? In a versus, they had the main stage. They were headlining the verses and then we did the beginning of the verses and all together

collectively it was a successful disaster. I told Mario that he didn't let you on stage because he was afraid of the smoke. I'm telling you because I was on the side and I see Mario on the side of the stage. I walk up to him. We in Baltimore or we know we in D.C. We got Mark. Let's hear Mark. We got Mark.

We want to let you hear what Mario said. Okay. Shout out to Mark. Shout out to Mario. Even if he said something bad. God bless him. No, he didn't say that bad. He's here?

No, no, no. Not he's here. Like, we had him in the closet. Just waiting for you. I'm scared. Come on. Reddy, you worry. You got to be King Cooper to Mario.

No, I just today. Sirrah's here and, you know, Sheila's here. And the whole team is here. It don't matter. You King Cooper. Don't hide me. Don't hide me. You King Cooper.

Okay. Stop playing. I hit thumb. and said, wow, you had my back for one time. Who's all you had your back? Yes, I said, I say back. I know you haven't. DJ, Envi, you haven't had it for a few times.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is what Martin said? You ain't let him on that stage after night because you knew what was going to happen after Wildo? Yeah. You know, you said I didn't let them on stage? Yeah, Ray J wanted to do the verses right there. You could ask Ray J what happened.

I was like, yo, let's do it. Let's make it happen. He was like, niggie, shrink me. Just, I don't care what you. You're just, I don't just make it happen. I'm like, I'm like, know he was going to be that. I said, hey, bad. I got you. They didn't let him on stage. It wasn't me.

That's not Ray J's story. Ray J's story was, I wanted to do the verses right there, so Mario was like, nah. Out of all people, you trust Ray J's story? Damn. Damn. You told him. You trust Ray J's story out of all people? Why were you people that? I don't know.

Mario, that's not okay. I saw Mario behind the stage, and when they said Mario's here, I'm like, no way. This is a coincidence It's perfect for us to do what we got to do You didn't know he was here I didn't know because somebody

Well my management said Wale wanted Ray J to come out For a homecoming event or whatever And I'm like I'm doing the DMV Baltimore Sub-A Anyway let's go up there I didn't talk to Wale And none of them so I didn't know really who

Invited me I ended up backstage They said Mario's upstairs I said let's go find him We went up I said Mario what's up He said what's up Ray J I said what's up I said it's time I said you about to get on stage and then I need to battle you with my song. I said, bro, even if I lose, we got to do it.

He said, and I promise you, give me five minutes to think about it. And I go five minutes to think about it. So then he goes down and then I go down 10 minutes later and he's performing. So he didn't give me the five minutes. He just like kind of shaded me on that end. And so I was standing on the side of the stage waiting for a mic and they start directing me off like traffic like with the car like Ray J come on this way go that way now get the hell out of here and I was just like yep it was crazy they kicked you out they didn't kick me out but they kind of just told me to get off because they they was like we don't want no problems here but what Ray J was it was it this Ray J or was it it was this Ray J my eyes was really wide and I was

ready to get on stage okay they go we don't want those problems here come on and I just was like all right I'm not did Mario ever look over and see you like You know how that you on a stage, which you could see us out. He didn't want no problems at that point because I knew that D.C., which is one of my favorite cities in the world, I love D.C. Shout out to Kathy Hughes. Shout out to D.C. I wanted it so bad.

But they didn't let it happen. So I respected. I was a little mad. But I think after that night, I started to go, you know, well, maybe I'm a little mad too much. Maybe I need to switch up from the Casamigos to maybe Tos. How many songs are in aversus? We love that. You got.

I say three in a possible. Ray J? It just depends on where you are. Like, I think that the versus for no limit and cash money should have been in New Orleans. Absolutely. It would have been a whole other thing. So where does Ray J.'s' versus take place? Ray J.'s versus.

Like if you have the perfect setting. In Baltimore. In Baltimore. Okay. Yeah, and it's hometown. And Mario's hometown? Because I love Mario and I love Baltimore. Gotcha, got you.

You know, I think doing it in LA wouldn't be fair because now I'm doing songs that Mario might not have even heard and they still lit and they still platinum. you know what song do you lead with like what's your number one uh the song that i lead with uh is one wish no right at the gate no at the gate one way because i got i got a new gospel version um that's dope you you should be allowed to do one wish three times three different ways you're supposed to get three wishes so so it should be more than one wish so one wish then you do a one wish actual beats yep kill them i think one wish five times then sexy can i I said, this is what I said let me love you is not bigger than one wish

You should let me love you I don't know, that's no right, Jay I love one wish I love to see perform it but I do think What's the metric? Let me love you is bigger But you can look it up, you can see what you're But then also also taking the account I'm 1,000% independent

Like there's there's no There's no like there's no Cotch distribution on this one There's no epic distribution on this one This is just straight sanctuary and Ray J, 3% like deal within 97% us forever. Sexy canine. Sexy canine is bigger than Let Me Love You to me.

Hit it first is a possible. No. Hit it first is not okay. You can do hit it first? Well, hit it first. It's still a big record. People know that record. That's crazy because they never really saw the light of day.

And I want you to know that those two right there said that Mario would wash you in a versus. I don't know why they're not keeping that same energy right now. I didn't get a chance to say that. And I think so, but honestly, I don't think that you would stand well. I think so, too. Are you right? I think you got five joys.

I think Mario got five. Mario can sing live as hell. Your niece said one. Mario only got one joint? I didn't say nothing. Let me love you. Just a friend. Braide my hair.

The joint with Gucci. I love you, Rah, and I love that. And I love that Brandi supported me too, but she also said Ray got to, you know, do right in order to compete. Because Mario is a serial singer. He's a serial singer And I respect that And I think that in a verse is live right now Mario would crush me

I'm glad you and your sister got back on the I love being How did that happen? We always been on the same page I think just publicly It was just You know she brought me out at the concert But I was just

Every time I get around B And my mom and Sarah I just get real emotional man And you straighten up You don't act like you act anywhere else with them I'm sure Yeah no and I think that it's just enough is enough and I'm so happy that Rara's here today

because it just it makes me do better no matter what because I know my mama is watching and my dad and Brandy and so like I'm really a comedian we really are in like this Richard prior like Red Fox format of comedy where it's uncut

right and if everybody took it like that I think it'd be better but for the seriousness of what it is I just I don't want to let them down moving forward and I just want to do right you still have sex with scribbles um I do yeah okay I do I do here and there but I'm not I'm really not a sexaholic at all though yeah yeah I just I'm very focused right now so sheila tell you like shout out to Sheila on the love cabin we got the show on Zeus so she's going crazy they got mad that's what questions y'all got for Sheila is that the same person we still got a lot to get to a

She made karate every day? Yeah. I saw you make, I saw on Shayroom you had this young lady crying. Yeah, she was crying. I'm not going to lie with the part of me.

I was like, that's kind of playing, just a little bit. Yeah, just a little bit. Just the way, is this the way, because I, once again,

I can't tell when Ray J. Being serious, like he's just entertaining us. Well, it was just all about the chat. It wasn't on the joke, Sheila. No, she wasn't not with her crying. So, Sheila, you're holding Ray J.

Now until he goes back to his family. How does that feel? That is crazy. You know what? Let me say this. Ray J and I are really good friends You know And you're looking good today

Sheila Thank you so much I may cry I may not Are y'all you're really good friends What were you crying over? You can do what you want with that information Sheila was crying because she couldn't be on the front desk And the back desk was where her office was

With Clark and they were doing their streams I thought you said you want to go back to your family But that wasn't what she was She was crying for. They clip things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what she was crying for? Because I was like, yo, I'm on the front desk.

You have to do this desk and you can work your way up to the front desk. But right now, this is my chat. You have your chat. Clark has his chat. Got you.
