Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Iceware Vezo.

What it do brother, how you feeling? Man, you look good brother. You got a whole lot of new money. You heard, I'm trying man. I just look like it. How you feeling though? Man, I'm feeling good bro. I'm blessed, everything well. Kids good, old lady good you know i mean absolutely one day at a time brother i'm glad you're up here because since you signed with quality control like we got to get vessel back on the show yeah i appreciate that too clearly it was

a very lucrative deal yeah it was good it was good we actually did a partnership 50 50 okay so you know that's why you know i i appreciate that situation i appreciate p for like you know, that's why I appreciate that situation. I appreciate P for letting me approach it as a young boss. You know what I'm saying? And making it and just teaching me the business and showing me how everything works and allowing me that opportunity to grow my company as well. So we did a 50-50 partnership. How did they convince you to partner with QC? What was that conversation like

i convinced myself honestly you know uh me and p been building for probably like a year and a half straight without talking no business none of that you know we just been vibing and moving around and and growing to understand each other you know and learning each other mentally you know i mean and i just like how bro rock i like how he operate I like how he think and you know he ain't he ain't no selfish dude like he won't he won't youngins to really you know get get everything out of that you know it's bigger than just being an artist you know P gonna show you how to really really turn up and think for the long run and not just like a rapper at that moment you know so I felt like it was a perfect situation for me, which it was to me.

And I think I saw somewhere that you said Takeoff was the first person to embrace you as an independent artist. Literally, man. Takeoff back in like 2015. Takeoff came to my restaurant. I had bought a restaurant when I was a kid and a car wash and a dispensary. And Takeoff was in Detroit. He DM'd me like, like bro i'm in your city

let's link tap in he put up at the restaurant bro he just gave me a lot of game like a lot of motivation i was fighting a fed case at the time and he told me like bro like just seeing everything you got going on and how you moving and just knowing how you know how young you is right now you know like bro you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to be big, bro. Stick to the music. You're going to be something when you get out. Wow. You know, promote my music and posting my music.

Gave me a verse, all that. Like, he was the first ever. Wow. In real life. Yeah, the first. And it came back full circle. So I'm sure when you connected with QC, I'm sure he was one of the first people to congratulate you.

Absolutely. He definitely was. Even before we, like, locked the deal down, he kind of heard about it he's like bro that's a good move bro i'm proud of you you know i mean keep doing your thing you know it's just it's just an unfortunate situation like with take because bro really a solid dude and you know people say that every time somebody passed you know but like he genuinely he genuinely was that he was a good brother like a real good guy he had his head on his shoulders and one thing about takeoff he never tried to be somebody or something that he wasn't he was always himself from my understanding you know from

how i knew him and how i met him you know i mean so rest in peace take the black men ever truly escaped man honestly to an extent, yeah. But for the most part, right now, it don't seem like it. It don't seem like it. You know, we living in a time where everybody got something to prove. You know, everybody worried about what the next person think about them. And right now, to me, I think the black man biggest downfall is they pride. It's the pride. Pride is our's biggest downfall is their pride. It's the pride.

Pride is our number one downfall. You know, we let our pride get in the way. And every time I ever use my pride, I fail right after that. You know, I learned that the hard way. So, you know, with the pride and the ego and throw the money in the play, it's too much, bro. And I think we got to – I don't think we, I don't think we, we giving ourself the chance to grow. You know, we not letting ourself elevate because we too focused on worldly things.

You know, I just learned, recently learned that man's number one cause of depression is environmental stress. Literally, that's the number one cause, environmental stress, meaning everything that we around and everything that we surround ourselves around, you know. So until we able to kind of evaluate who and what we got around us and change our environment, we're not going to allow ourselves to grow. How do you think having your wife has actually helped you through so many different things, things? Having a great partner, I think, is one of the most supportive things that you can have. Absolutely. My wife played a real, like the biggest part in my life. You know, it been, you know, women mature faster than us. And there's so many times where I thought like foolishly and childishly and she checked me.

You know what I'm saying? Like my wife is like my is my backbone she is that same part that that at times i don't have you know and i know when i got married god blessed me in a different way you know because it gave me some type of foundation to fall back on and something to stand on like you know i say this all the, like the best the best attribute a woman got is their intuition. That's that other sense. Like a woman's intuition is is unbelievable. You know, anytime my wife ever told me something, she ain't never been wrong. And I learned a hard way to to not ignore her, to not ignore her feelings, to not ignore her thoughts. And, you know, and her views on pretty much everything.

So without my wife, I don't know where I'd be at. And I genuinely mean that. She stood tall for me a million times. And don't it feel good, speaking on that intuition, don't it feel good when she know you solid, when she know you doing what you supposed to be doing? Because they know when we doing the bulls**t. But when we get our s**t together, they know that too that feels so good they feel amazing she know me sometimes feel like

she know me more than i know myself all right you know she know what i'm about to f**k up before i f**k up there ain't no lying to her you can't lie to no woman that really know you you know i mean like you said it do feel amazing when she know like you know i am trying to grow i am trying to elevate i am trying to be different and think different as much as I can. And she acknowledged that and I get recognition for that. And I feel like I don't do that for her enough. You know, we'd be so quick. I'd be so quick to, you know, blame when somebody else f*** up.

But when I f*** up, it just be more like, you know, whatever. But, you know, she understands me and I appreciate that one. Now, you talked about ego earlier. And I want to talk to you because you've been in the music game for a long time, like a decade. Yeah, a long time. Really? And so was there a period of time when you felt like people didn't believe in you anymore because you did get locked up and then come back home? And, you know, sometimes it takes a while to build back up to where you have to be.

Absolutely. When I got out of prison, I felt like everybody gave up on me. Well, not everybody. And, you know, sometimes it takes a while to build back up to where you have to be. Absolutely. When I got out of prison, I felt like everybody gave up on me. Well, not everybody, you know, except like Chanel and like my team at the time. But, yeah, like I heard that too. Like, man, Holmes finished. He through, you know, went to jail. It's over.

Too many rappers rapping right now. I ain't going to play it. But honestly, that shit motivated me. And it made me go hard. Like, every time I'm told what I'm not able to do, you know, I do just that, you know, because only God got any type of say-so over my life. All it took was a hit

song, too. That's all it takes. They like, oh, now he got one. Yeah, he got one. Another one and another one. He's back. So how do you treat the doubters, though? Like, the people you know that on you, have something bad to say about your name, how do you treat the doubters, though? Like the people you know that **** on you, have something bad to say about your name. How do you treat them once the success comes?

I treat them good so I can show them that I'ma never be like them. That's how you make somebody feel foolish. You get them the opposite energy that they give you, you know, depending on that energy. You know what I mean? Especially the doubters.

You heard like the **** that say suckers **** and jealous **** and just weirdo ****, you know? mean especially the daughters you heard like the that say suckers and jealous and just weirdo you know i i let people know i i know how you felt i know what you thought but check it out you know what you got going on i probably can help you out with this situation you know let's try to change each other you heard like i'll never be like you because i ain't let nobody change my energy or change the way i view anything. Because if they do that, then I'm just like them. All right. You heard it.

The free iHeartRadio app has over 250,000 podcasts to explore. Yes. This is the Breakfast Club 30, part of Sunday Night Podcast on iHeartRadio. We're still kicking it with Ice Web Vezo. Yeah. Now, I got to ask you this. Because, you know, that slide opened back up in Detroit. Oh, man.

That was crazy. Did you do the giant slide? Hell yeah. I used to scratch all my Jordans up. F*** my J's up. Man, the giant slide was really something to do back then. Now that's s*** like a f***ing trap. So is it different now than it was?

Absolutely. It's terrible. It's just bad. It ain't good at all. They got to redo that. Detroit, y'all got to redo that. We got to do better with the giant slide. You might have to do it. That's something that you might have't good at all. They got to redo that. Detroit, y'all got to redo that. We got to do better with the giant slide. You might have to do it.

That's something that you might have to help renovate. I love to do that. You heard? I love to do that. Turn the giant slide back up. Because I saw you just, I saw something that you bought your childhood home or the home you grew up in earlier this year. Yep, I did.

And I actually bought it and gave it to my mom. But, you know, I didn't really buy it to just like renovate and sell it and make money off of it i just got so many memories in there and like you know it's had a lot of special moments in that in that house so you know i just wanted to keep it in our family and i bought it and gave it to my mom and we're doing everything to get it back up to date we're not renting it out we're not selling we're not doing nothing with it we're just gonna have it we're just gonna have it now you got the gangsta grills dj drama mix yeah man yeah december 8th drama really back out here like it's the early 2000s man drama turned up drama got that sauce we got we got some though we got something crazy for y'all i can't wait december 8th

Paint the City. I was going to call it God Bless the City, but I changed it to Paint the City. Oh, that's the single, God Bless the City. Yeah, y'all. It's called Paint the City, December 8th, DJ Drum, Gangsta Grill. You still live in Detroit? Yeah. You feel like Detroit is really having a time right now, too.

Yeah, I do. Just seeing all the artists. I feel like everybody want to sign a Detroit artist, too. I do. I feel like that, too. We having a moment right now. I feel like every city get their chance and get they little wave. And right now we got ours, you know, we just got to keep it coached.

We got to grind it out, you know what I'm saying? And just navigate, just move through this shit. Don't let that money get to our head and keep thugging, you heard? Let's talk some Detroit business. I saw Royce said that there's a misunderstanding between young Detroit rappers and Eminem. How you feel about that? I mean, at the end of the day, it is. You know what I mean? Like, as a fan,

I love Eminem music. I grew up listening to Eminem when I was a shorty, but, and I got real love for Royce. Like, one thing about Royce, he always show us love. He always support us. He always shout us out. He do everything he can do to help us out. He really do. I can't take that away from Royce, he always show us love. He always support us. He always shout us out. He do everything he can do to help us out. He really do.

I can't take that away from Royce. But s***, it is what it is. Like, we don't know him. We just don't. We don't know Holmes. We don't know him at all. Like, we don't know him. I don't know nobody that ever met him, ever seen him.

And I think Royce and Em kind of get the impression that we feel like home's over or something. But it's not that. Like, everything ain't always about a favor or money. And, like, you know, they taking it the wrong way. We just saying, like, you a legend. You a GOAT. Like, you big. Like, bro, like, where are you?

We want to see you. Can we get some knowledge? Can we get some gain? Can we get some f***ing motivation? Anything. That's all we asking for. But we get some motivation anything that's all we're asking for but we're not we're not speaking from a standpoint as like yeah bro you you gotta sign us we let you you gotta sign it you owe us some money we won't work we're not we're not saying

it that way and i believe royce and m may be taking it that way so it is a big misunderstanding he did do a song though With the Detroit rappers on it Like it was like a compilation What was it called Welcome to Detroit What was that song called It was something like that But who was on there though

I know Wasn't Big Sean on there Oh yeah Sean was on there I think Dave's Loaf was on there I don't know what I mean Make sure you're not Dissing nobody for no reason No no

I got Everybody I mean I got Listen I got love Everybody f*** with reason. No, no. I got everybody. I mean, I got, listen, I got love. Everybody f*** with me. I got love for Sean. I got love for Daze, T-Grid. I f*** every artist from Detroit.

We just talking about him. And I f*** with his music. But I don't know him. We don't know him. Nobody don't. We don't know him. We just don't know him. He just don't be out like that either. And we ain't saying come outside either.

We ain't saying, hey, bro, come risk everything you built up. You know, come in the middle of the hood and goddamn risk your shit. We're not saying that, bro. We ain't saying none of that. We're just like, hey, bro, listen. I was with Paul Rosenberg at a show where Sato was performing. Yeah. Yeah.

I can't speak for him. I know. I feel like that. I'm not going to lie. I feel like that. Home's an icon. icon you know i idolized him at one point and i do think he is the greatest rapper of all time with at least one of them and that's never gonna change he have done a lot for the community and for the city of detroit ain't nobody taking none of that away we just saying musically you know we got it we got a vibe right now i know me if i if i had that wave that m had i know how i'm playing it i already embrace

all of your coming up i already do that and i ain't nowhere in that type of position but i do that because it's the right thing because one one conversation might keep a young from crashing up that's all it take it's just a little push a little motivation you know i see so many people who who who life may be good and they may be doing well in life from the outlook and then but to them they not where where they at they not where they want to be and everybody feel like that at times you know what i'm saying so any any type of motivation or change a person, entire outlook on their self or their career, all it take is, hey, bro, I see you. That's it.

Keep doing what you're doing. You're doing the right thing. You know, you ain't got to go crash out. Whatever you're doing is working because I see you. It'll be a tweet. Yeah. Because I see you. I feel like that can happen.

You know the type of inspiration you gotta be for for people to want that from you yeah you're right like that mean you are inspiring homes like you really inspiring i just want you to say hey bro keep going that's it that's it i don't know if this is true and it couldn't be totally wrong they said are you and eminem from the same block yeah eminem from uh he from he from bradford i'm from Bradford. I'm from Sanford and Bradford. Okay. He went to Osborne. I went to Osborne, too.

Wow. It's a high school in our hood. Oh, so this is very personal for you, then, in a way. I mean, it ain't personal. It's just, you know, I got a different level of understanding my position. So sometimes, you know, I i get carried away and i understand other people position as well and they might not understand their position and i know how much we struggling right now and i ain't talking about as artists i'm talking about as a community as people period and i know everything count every helping hand count and we need that our city need every

city need that anything count every helping hand and that's all we we asking for we ain't asking for no money we ain't asking to be signed we ain't asking to come risk your life come risk your freedom we just saying bro can we see you like damn like you know but it's all good though and like I say he don't that man don't owe owe nobody. Ain't nobody done nothing for him. However you feel, it is what it is. All right, let's see what can happen. Yeah, I want a feature. F*** that.

I told that to my little homie, Relo, Free Relo. He about to come on in a minute. And we was watching the BET Awards. And I told him, like, bro, you know what? When I get out, I'm signing with QC. I like how Buddy move. I like how they rock. On the out looking in, it felt like he let the artists do what they want to do.

And he rock. They come up with a plan, and he get behind that plan for them. I manifested that. I manifested everything in my life. I manifested my wife. I told her, mom, when I was 14, I'm going to marry her daughter. We're going to get, I'm not real talk. I told my wife, mom that, listen, I'm going to marry your daughter.

I'm going to become a millionaire. I'm going to buy her a home and we're going to have children. And I did every last one of them. I married her, bought her a home and I had kids by her. Does her mom remember that? She remembered that. Wow. She talk about it all the time.

It ain't even a psych. It's just I'm big on manifestation. I know how serious it is, how real it is. I literally do vision boards. I believe in this stuff. It's real. It really works. You really got to vision what it is you want and you can't get it it work like

that you know you gotta you just gotta you gotta you gotta be a good person at the end of the day too you know you gotta do the right thing you gotta treat people right you gotta conduct yourself right you know and properly but you heard that the vision board that's real i really manifest everything i did i tell you this all the time man these conversations coming from you are so important the the loving your wife you know what i Letting people know your wife is your backbone. The manifestation conversations. Me and you have conversations about mental health and how important it is to keep your mental health together. Like, you got to keep having those conversations, man.

And being an entrepreneur. I think that's important, too. You know, having run your own businesses. Yeah. I think encouraging people to do that. No doubt. Yeah, I think that's important. I want a lot of more black men to talk more about mental health. You know, bro, it's not, it's not, I'm front of street, bro.

I'm a street guy, ex-street guy. I have no problem with, you know, speaking on mental health and, you know, manifestation. This work. It's not lame, bro. bro it's cool y'all can do that you know be yourself like this stuff really work you know you want to be successful you want to you want to be healthy have some type of longevity at whatever it is you do change some of them ways and read and get some knowledge ain't nothing wrong with that i think i think somewhere down the line we may being smart uncool or something you know

i really feel like that like a lame if he got some type of sense and that ain't the case you know i'm saying ain't how it go like real street guys is the one who try to do everything in the world to get away from being like that you know you know the guys that ain't really street you know they do everything in the world to try to be like that they kind of got it backwards you know it's just a little off you know and as an artist and a rapper i feel like it's it's it's part of my responsibility you know i'm saying to be 100 and let people know how i'm really coming mentally how i think i operate whatever and they can they can judge me however they want to you know they don't know me and there go that part where you know i don't it's not my job to care what somebody else think about me either you know what i'm saying so yeah i think that's important for every artist to do that and i know for a fact majority of

successful people and successful artists not saying that i'm successful i'm just saying just period like everybody got some type of sense you know Everybody Anybody with some type of longevity They got some sense That's right You know And it's okay to promote that You know We gotta push that off

We gotta create a whole new agenda man We gotta save our people for real It starts with accountability though Absolutely That's why my favorite question To ask brothers nowadays I say Hey man

What do you hate more Reading or accountability Accountability Without a doubt I'm guilty of it at times Yeah all of us are. And I know I'm wrong. I'm still guilty of that. It's just how it is.

You been back to Inception lately? Nah, I'm going back in December. I really enjoyed myself there, bro. That shit really worked. Did you hook up to the brain? Brain training. Bro, he showed me how fast my mind was moving.

Like, I had so much shit in my mind. Like, bro, I really, I genuinely needed that. I needed that. And I'm going to do it again in December. You ain't did the float tank? You got to do the float tank. No, I got to do it. You got to do the float tank.

I ain't did the float tank. But that shit fucked me up, bro. The brain training. I'm like, man, what? Like, my mind was like really racing bro like really racing you know what i'm saying you know what else i gotta get it i gotta start trying to i don't know how to meditate like i ain't never meditated in no like that i learned two years ago yeah yeah two years ago my homegirl debbie brown taught me how to like properly meditate you got to get the

beads when you get the beads and you get a mantra and you counting your beads and chanting your mantra at the same time yeah it'll it'll help you out man i try to meditate that last all of a minute racing but no have you found a way to slow slow it down slow your mind down i'm still trying to find ways like i just i'm a think tank you know and sometimes it it bothered me bro i gotta ask my mind to stop thinking at times i just i just think a lot you know i think i think i weigh i think i put a lot of problems on my shoulders not just my problems but other people's as well and i think i got a problem with feeling responsible for other for other people you know things that i haven't caused them or I wasn't involved in at all. But I just, you know, I just take it on because I understand when somebody may need me.

You know, and I try to be there and, you know, I add they stress on my mind. Just my everywhere. Your empath. You feel other people's pain. That's what it is. Yeah, I really do. I do. I really do.

So I'm trying to figure That part out brother We gonna get to it though You ready Now we know you got Babyface Ray We got 42 Doug You

Who are the new pillars Of the Detroit rap scene Other than those three Man so many Turned up in Detroit Right now We got It's

Doug Face T Sada Goddamn Baby Tron. Oh, for the s*** boys. Yeah, Baby Money. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, Skilla Baby turned up. I'm not going to lie. He's killing it. Okay, Skilla Baby. I got to talk about him for a second. I saw that video of him in the studio. I don't know. I didn't see that.

You didn't see that? You know what I'm talking about? I didn't see that. Skilla Baby is one of the funniest people. Like, if you... Yeah. Yeah. He turnt.

Him and Sada did lip service together. They did? Yeah. That might have been one of the funniest episodes. Nah, that's hard. He turnt. Gmo State. It's a lot, man.

It's a lot of artists. Everybody turnt. And what about the women? You got Peezy. Of course, Cashdow. Pretty Brea. Jasmine Renee. Nisha Nashay still lana ladonna she turned up like detroit got a crazy music scene we still got choppa boy ray ray tay b

he's super lit like we got a lot of people and the producers and o2 twin he turned up and beats hell of a little uh little homie Beats, he a little Indian guy that do fire on the production you know, Max Beats we got IUAR Jetto, Webbo Chucky, SBR Peasy Butter, like I can name so, Detroit really got a good market. What about Isai Eggroll?

Oh Eggroll, that's my guy he turnt, Eggroll funny, he burnt out yeah, I think he's very what's missing? Because I look at Detroit. I look at Memphis. They got the rappers. I've been saying Memphis and Detroit got the best rappers for the past couple of years.

Why aren't they getting recognized like the Atlantas? Because Atlanta guys, they kind of, when they come to music, they just move a little smoother and smarter. They know when it's time to do projects together. You know what I mean? Like, you know, I don't know. Sometimes Detroit seem like we got that complex. It got out. It can only be one, you know, and that don't make sense because

that's just like saying it's only one dollar left in the entire world. You know, so that's what separate us to me. That's just my diagnosis of it. You know, the Atlanta guys, they know when to work together. They know when to pull each other up. They know when somebody gets to a certain level,

everybody just push that person over the hump. You know, that guy keep pulling people in. You know, I think it's just, I think, and it ain't even really about no smoke, you know, because if you really pay attention to Detroit, like, we don't really, whoever got a problem with who, we don't get that to the rest of the world. That ain't the rest of the world business. We know how to conduct ourselves behind the scenes and handle that shit off the internet, you know,

and I got to give that to every artist in Detroit. Everybody move like that and think like that, but we just got to figure out how to kind of work together a little more. Let's turn Detroit up real quick, man. When are the Gangsta Grills coming out? December 8th. Gangsta Grills, we're painting the whole city. It's on the floor. Iceweb Bezel with The Breakfast Club.

So I was on Instagram and I noticed that a guy had cars on his page that he was selling. That's your dumb ass. You're one of them people that try to turn 700 into 7000. His account was verified. He had a lot of followers. So I'm like, oh, this is a guy that sells cars.

I said, OK, I'm good. So he had a vehicle that I wanted, a convertible Chevy Chevelle 1970 convertible. He had a car and I said, said Hey I'm interested in this car He said okay no problem Gave me his number I called him I spoke to him He said hey You know this is the car

You know we can make the deal This that and the other I told him I wanted I told him I was interested in the car But I couldn't make it out to South Carolina I called my good friend Louis V Louis V my guy Who knew somebody that lived in Charleston That she was going to go take a look at the car.

She couldn't look at the car because she was doing hair. So she said it's going to be three, four hours. But I was like, damn, I don't want to lose this car. The guy even calls the tow company and sets up a pickup for the tow. The tow driver must have been in on it because he's like, yeah, I picked up cars from there before. So I'm like, okay, perfect. This works. I called my assistant, Mercedes.

Shout out to Mercedes. And I didn't tell anybody because I was like, you know what? This is going to be my car. I'm going to come up on it. Shout out to Ronnie. I know Ronnie who gets my cars and listening. I wire him money. I'm not going to tell you how much I wire.

But I watch. We can't really feel this story because I don't feel sorry for you at all Tell me how much first Tell me what kind of car was it I just told you I said a 1970 Chevelle Convertible Just tell me how much it was We need all the details

We need all the deets I wired him a part of the money How much part of it Was it 50% I wired him some of the money right because the car was twenty thousand right i was between what you and charlemagne said right five and twenty between five and twenty so i why i why him the money 12 and then what happens dad it goes ghost i can't i can't find him no more i'm calling him now he had this whole thing he he sent me to- And where was it at?

You said in Charleston? Charleston, South Carolina. Dropping the clues bombs for Charleston, my birthplace. Don't you dare. The holy city. Don't you dare. The 843. Considerate reparations.

So listen. So listen. So then I called the bank back, and I'm like, yo, I need that money back. The bank's like, well, no, we know it's a scam, but we can't give you the money back. That's not how it works here in Charleston. I said, you're telling me you know it's a scam, but you're not going to give me my money back? They said yes. So question, what did you learn from this?

I'll never buy anything online without going to see it. That's A. And B, I did get the money back because shout to my bank. My bank actually pulled the money and I got it back. But they took my money for about a good couple of days. And I was very hurt about this. Like I was embarrassed. I was. Like, I was embarrassed. I was hurt.

Like, it was bad. First of all, I want to salute all the scammers in South Carolina. I respect y'all because, you know, you should never steal from your own. Always only steal from out-of-towners. And, you know, that guy who, our girl, I'm sure took that money and, you know, put it to a good cause, probably donated it to the International African American Museum that we have opening in Charleston in January.

I'm sure he didn't. And salute to Louis V and the woman in South Carolina who shall remain anonymous. We got him, y'all. We got him. We got him. We got him. Oh, my goodness.

I've never told that story to nobody. I felt so embarrassed. And salute to my South Carolina scammer. Somebody going to walk up to me one day and say, hey, man, you know I'm the person that got envy. I'm sure you will. It's not funny, man. I almost flew down there. I was like, fly down there for what?

Who am I looking for? You ain't going to do nothing when you get down there but cry. You right. You ain't going to do nothing but cry when you get down there. You right. At least you got your money back, though, right? It was a good lesson. It's not funny, though.

Because I had to fight to get that money back. Well, Mercedes had to fight to get that money back. You got it back, though. You know, a lot of people wouldn't have. So you did get your money back. That's good. Hello, who's this? Hi.

I can hear your pain in your voice. I got guy. I don't like that feeling. What's your name, mama? Tisha from Brooklyn. Hey, you got skills? Tisha's your name, mama? Keisha from Brooklyn. Hey, you got scammed? You a scammer. Oh, my God.

Did I get scammed? I was like 25-ish, and they were like doing a little card game outside, and everybody watching, they like picked a card. So I came up because I'm like, oh, okay. So I picked a card, and they're like, oh, my God, you got it right. That's a a card and they're like oh my god you got it right That's a free trial Try it again Oh my god

So I did it again And they were like cheering oh my gosh And this lady was like come on we're following you to the bank Girl They were like come let's go to the bank I'll come with you Because she's making it seem like she's part of the crowd, too. Right, but she worked with them.

Can I ask you a question, man? I handed over that $1,000. They packed it up so fast. A thousand dollars. A thousand dollars. Can I ask you a question, man? What year in the 1900s was this?

Well, I'm 38, so this is 13 years ago, but What year in the 1900s was this? No, it's probably last year. Well, I'm 38, so this is 13 years ago, but... I ain't gonna lie, though. When I was in Atlanta during the pandemic, they tried to do that, and I was like, I'm from Brooklyn. I already know this game. They tried to... I was with Jennifer Williams,

and she pulled up. They seen her car and everything, and I already had seen them earlier outside the hotel. Just, I saw they all knew each other. So they tried to approach us like they didn't know each other, like they was playing a game. And I was like, I'm not stupid now. I done seen y'all together a few minutes ago. You didn't see me see you.

That's the oldest chick in the book, guys. That's the one that everybody out there know. Yeah, never again. Never again. I'm a sheltered person. I'm just a sheltered person. I was a sheltered kid. Yeah, and it was funny because then I was like, I just tried to ignore them.

Like, look, we don't have no cash on us. They was like, we take Zell? We take Zell. Yes. My goodness. Thank you, mama.
