Starting point is 00:03:14 Carisha. What's up? Shalame. How you feeling? I feel good. How you feeling? I'm blessed black and highly favored, man. I'm happy to see you.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I've been wanting to argue with you for so long. I don't want to argue with you. You know, I always say you're one of my favorite. I appreciate you. I really look up to you. I really do. Like, I just feel like you are a straightforward person, and you tell it how it is, and it comes from a mature face. I appreciate you.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Like, you're going to say how you feel, and that's just what it is. It ain't, because if you feel away, like, if you like you like, you like. away like if you like you like it if you don't you don't absolutely and I respect that I respect you too you know I fuck with you but I heard you say that you would you say you said that a man needs a net worth of a hundred million dollars oh my gosh oh my gosh you date you you might be dead your money and I know you married this stuff I'm just said you work to that point you know how good you feel I don't know what you're talking about okay I'm just saying you know less than 1,000 of 1% of people reach that type of
Starting point is 00:04:11 net worth? I know. And that means you are hardworking men if you got that. And I want me a hardworking man. But does it have to be... You didn't mean a hundred, though. I didn't mean it literally. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:21 But I would love for him to have at least. But that don't mean nothing. Money don't mean everything, you know. But I'm just saying, like, I didn't know I said a lot of shit. But I did mean it, though. Could you date a regular dude though? Like, just you down in Miami, do work at FedEx, he got a benefit.
Starting point is 00:04:37 God damn. And not even just that. I like what I like. I like what I like. I think that I'm like, you know, I'm into nice things and not saying that a man that work a job can't give me nice things, but I think I want to date somebody that's like in the same caliber of me. Absolutely. I understand. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Now, what happened to the Carisha Please podcast? Everybody loved the podcast. You were supposed to be the next black Oprah. You said you were the next black Oprah. Oprah's already black, no. But I'm like the, you know how like a person is like black, but they like black, black? Got you. Oprah, Black, Black.
Starting point is 00:05:10 I'm saying like, it's like the hood. From the hood, okay, is what I mean. Let me, let me, let me, let me, let me not. I mean the hood, Oprah. Like, it's going to be like Oprah, but on the hood level. And, Carisha, please, you know, I spoke to you about it. I'm just trying to find a right home, the right partner to come back for season three. Oh, we love to have you on Black or Fett.
Starting point is 00:05:30 But are you going to be, we need you to be consistent, though. Like, how often would you want to do it? I think when me being an artist realistically, and I honestly think it's a flow of things and how you do things. I think for me, Carisha Fisberg, because people wanted it. It was like, I want more, I want more. And on top of having a podcast,
Starting point is 00:05:48 I still got to be an artist. I still got to release music. So you don't want to just see too much of me because it's like they got to see them. They got to have music and then they go into the podcast. I would love to be consistent, but I also think that's what worked for me.
Starting point is 00:05:59 I love the flow of it. I love that you said that. Do you think artists nowadays are too over-exposed? Yes, and I think we feel like we know them too much. Like, superstars back then, you just knew them as Michael Jackson or a performer. Now we know what happened with your baby daddy. We could get the police reports. We can get a 911 one call.
Starting point is 00:06:18 It's just too much that it kind of leaves like, child, this person or that's that person. It don't give the scenario status because it's too accessible. Did you ever feel like you were too overexposed? I do. I think when people know too much in your personal life, it just make them feel like they know you on a, on a, personal level when it's not supposed to be like that. So yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:06:42 So, I mean, I know you had the BET reality show that you were filming. Did you take a step back from that because you felt like it was too over-exposed? Going into it, I was excited about it. I'm like, oh my God, I'm going to have a reality show, but I think once I got into it, it's not really reality. Like, it's staged, it staged reality. And I'm the type of person, I want everything real raw and uncunk. I don't want to go back and do that again, because I can't go back and do that again. Like, that's just what it was, and I think that it became too much.
Starting point is 00:07:07 it became too much of that that it didn't feel real. And I was just like, I don't like this because they take certain sound bites and it become a whole story that's not kind of like what you sound up for. So I had to take a step back and it was like, if I'm going to do something like that, I want to do it on my own.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I feel like you've been trying to find a space to be comfortable to really just express yourself. Yeah, because I think that I am a real raw, authentic person and I'm not strategic. Like, I just show up as me. And whatever you get, that's me. That would be your experience in me.
Starting point is 00:07:45 And I think that the world now, like the world that we live in now, you got to just, you got to just move a certain way and just be so polished. And it's not fun. And I think that I can't, I can't live and be creative in a space like that.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Like, I can't be my best self if I have to be strategic. I got to move this way. I can't do this. I can't say that. It's not fun. I feel like, though, when you see people like Cardi, for example, Cardi's always herself.
Starting point is 00:08:13 I feel like she made it to where you can be yourself if you're not afraid to be yourself. I think sometimes people would be afraid to be their self because they're afraid of the backlash or what social media are going to say. I get crucified for being myself. Like, I can say anything, and it just, when it comes to certain people,
Starting point is 00:08:30 they take it a certain way. It's like if this person said, but when I said, I'm saying the same shit, But when I said, it's just like, well, goddamn, like I just said, you know, I think it's, I can't explain it, but I feel like I'll be myself. I'm myself. I'm not, I'm not never like, I say a lot of shit. I do a lot. That's me just being myself.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Like, I like to go live, have fun. That was another thing that people loved about me. My personality going on life with Centena just getting on there. We just talking shit about each other. That's us and our natural form. Some people understand it. Some people don't. Some people like, that can never be my friend.
Starting point is 00:09:07 That's our friend group. That's how we have fun. But it's all love. We understand each other. Yeah, I don't think people dislike you like they act like they do on social media. I think that you give them a response. And when you give somebody a response, they keep messing with you just to get a response. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:22 I bet you sometimes you'd be hitting people and they'd be like, I just wanted you to reply. No, all of time, they're like, oh my god, bitch fuck you. Exactly. Like, why are you fucking with me? I'm cool. Like, I'm really a cool person. I'm a human. I feel like I'm a great human like I am a genuine person if I don't like you I
Starting point is 00:09:39 ain't even coming your way if I fuck with you I fuck with you but and I'm just I'm literally like I come from nothing so people have to understand like this is how I was brought up I it's still room to grow and I still got to grow you know grow I I still have a lot to learn but it's like I'm learning as I grow and I just think that it's like from my upbringing like I literally grew up in opah locker in the projects like I go over there I just did my music video newsflash there And I'm just like, I get it. People walk around, like, they don't dress up.
Starting point is 00:10:10 It's bunny, it's slides. Like, how you wake up is how you're going outside. You know, it's not like, it's just, they're in the hood. How do you think you made it up? I think I was always destined to be who I am because I always just had a personality. And even if I grew up in the hood, my mom dated men with money, like her.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Me and she dated, they took care of her. They made sure our kids were straight. So she always tried to provide the best life she can. And she was also popular. She was like a booster. And she just was a booster. Yeah. Booster.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah. She probably had all the old time to help single. You know everybody because they're coming you to buy all the shit. Yep, yep. Yeah. Well, she closed or appliances? Close. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:52 So Tommy hill finger polo. Yeah. Gotcha. All that. So, you know, just seeing that and just seeing her make a wage is. Yeah. Are you scared right now? Scared of what?
Starting point is 00:11:03 Because you out here solo? No, I love it. Okay. I love it. I think that it's a new error for me. I feel like from the time I came out, it always been, people saw me, they learned me as the city girls. I was going through the stuff with my mom.
Starting point is 00:11:19 My mom went to prison. I was raising her kids. I always was like holding something down. I never really got a chance to, like, pouring to me or just be the best version of myself or really enjoyed because I was always holding something down I had to work, you know, extra hard. Like, my mom went to prison.
Starting point is 00:11:36 I had to take her her kids. So let's the group breakup. J.T. go to prison. Then she come out. We go through all of this stuff that we're going through. So like, now I'm just like, yes. Like, I get a chance to be creative. I get a chance to just make my own decisions.
Starting point is 00:11:51 I get a chance to just be free. Like, and I also learn so much from a group and just, I know more of the business. Like, you know, so I just feel good. Like, I feel happy. I feel like I'm ready. I'm not scared. I'm ready. So who is Young Miami without the city girls, without celebrity relationships, without the headlines?
Starting point is 00:12:11 No, Young Miami is that. You are all that? Yeah, that's your Miami. I mean, that's the start of my career, and that's everything I went through. That's shaking me as Young Miami. I feel like I can't run away from it. I can't run away from Young Miami of the City, girls. I can't run away from Young Miami that went through that.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Y'all saw me in every phase of my life, and y'all want to continue to see me. me in my new era. So are you trying to show people more of the evolved young Miami or just the real Carisha? Both. Because I have evolved. I think the last time I came on the breakfast club,
Starting point is 00:12:44 I probably was like in my 20s. I'm 30 now. So I do look at like different. I do see things differently. I do want to move different. Like sometimes I'm like, dang it. Like even though I love it,
Starting point is 00:12:55 I'd be like, crush your ass up. When I've been looking back at it, like sometimes you ever like, this is a real real. You go to the club, you drunk, you look at your story, you wake up, and you delete all that shit. So sometimes that's how I feel like I look at somebody like, it's room from improvement there. You know, like you gotta clean up at some point. You gotta get these friends to wanna, you know, like yeah we love real, yeah, we love authentic,
Starting point is 00:13:19 but you gotta show some era of growth or elevation or you, people gonna look at you as, you ain't showing nothing new. But on this new album, you're still giving them classic Young Miami, you're still out here, you know. You still gotta finesse me. Yeah, you still have finesse in these things. You still gotta have your hand out. Okay. You still, we still gotta have.
Starting point is 00:13:38 All you can build your own, you're doing that too. No, of course. Of course. Of course. But I do feel like men should be some type of support. That's the message I be trying to get through. I just feel like, I feel like sometimes men, and I say this a lot because I don't,
Starting point is 00:13:54 and that's why I'd be like, I want a million dollars. A lot of men just see a pretty face, see a pretty broadie. And for them, it's like, this is another bitch on my rock. Like, they be building rosters. Like, a lot of men are mature in mind. And you have to be, as a woman, you have to be, you gotta know what you want. In life, you gotta know what you want.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I know what I want. So, if I know that we're gonna have sex, we gonna have sex. But you have to do something for me, and it's not prostitution. It's not, it's just, I'm a woman. Like, you gotta add value to me. And sometimes, I gotta leave this relationship, situation, with something. Because if not, we fuck, when we in our teens,
Starting point is 00:14:30 that's something you're doing your 20s. on your 20s. I'm 30 now. No, listen, I feel like a man's job is to protect and provide. I understand the logic. I'm just saying, bring the number down. A hundred million. Well, Shalemann, that's wrong, man. I'm trying to go up. Listen, I want a vacation. I got
Starting point is 00:14:45 kids. I'm trying to live my best life. Life is, you know, life is weird these days. Like, I just want to live my best life while I can, and I just feel like that's what I want at this point. You're not afraid to talk about your roster, though. I heard Carrecia's tales where you flip the two short joint.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Freaky Tales What made you want to do that record? I think it's hip hop When I listen to like records like that Like Lil Kim Even Nicki Minaj Just coming up as a new artist I want to have that impact
Starting point is 00:15:14 Like when people go Like people that argue in Miami fans Like I remember she did that too short And she flipped it like this Like that's what it's firing me I'm only going to assume That everybody on the record is real Because one line is definitely real
Starting point is 00:15:27 So I'm just going to assume Everybody on the record It's some truth to every story. Okay. Why do women like to shame men for eating bunkey, though? Because on Freaky Tell, you say, lame, goofy-ass nigger, always trying to eat bitch, booty-ass nigger. Why are you shaming men for that?
Starting point is 00:15:43 You must be eating booty shalry. I'm from South Carolina. I'm from the South. I mean, yeah. That's a grown-man sport. That is a grown-man sport, but why shame men for it? I'm not, no, what I'm just saying, like, because it's like I got two homes.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Why are you going to eat the one that's in the back? What if he doing both? Appetize an entree, entree, appetizer, whatever you're into. It's no shame to it, but it's like you always want to eat back when it's one in the front. It's kind of like, okay. No, no, no offense to the minute and they do it. I shot to see you. See, I like when I hear women talk like that because you get to see what women really think.
Starting point is 00:16:21 So when guys be trying to do that, you all be talking shit about doing. I'm just not like, I don't like that whole bad. It'll be wet. Like, I just feel weird. So it's not my. preference. They like, we all got purpose and I just don't like that. Okay. Hold me in with it. All right. Let's stay on freaky tales. You say, you name a bunch of men. Mm-hmm. And you say my billionaire
Starting point is 00:16:42 nigger that stay on the island used to tell me, take that, take that, while he fucked me for hours. Now, we know who that is. That's ditty. In light of everything that has transpired, why weren't you afraid to still say that? Because I think that I should be I should be able to express myself. I should be able to take my life experiences. I don't feel like I should be silence or I can't speak on anything or I should be scared because I just was in a relationship with somebody. And what we had wasn't a crime or it was wrong.
Starting point is 00:17:13 So it's like I'm expressing myself. It's music. It's my music. It's my time to tell my story and I want to have fun. I'm going to do that. When someone, you know, you were connected to becomes the center of serious allegations and legal issues. How do you reconcile the person you knew
Starting point is 00:17:29 with the headlines, everybody else's? I think in life you always get put in something or a situation where you know you got to make a life decision and you got to look back and say like what makes sense for me right now. You know, like I can love this person, but I can love this person from a distance or, you know, I can have a relationship with this person
Starting point is 00:17:48 but maybe I got to come back to it. Like maybe I got to come back around. And I think that that was one of those situations. You wrote a letter about your Faddi's character And a lot of people were upset because it was like, you know How could she do that after seeing the video with Cassie? A lot of people wanted to know why you decided to still write that letter. I think I wrote a letter for a change man
Starting point is 00:18:08 I think that the man that I met and that I experienced was changed. I'm not going to justify some bullshit or like support some if I felt like that person was a change And I felt like the person that I met was changed. a different experience. So that's why I wrote a letter. Do you think you owe, like, your fans an explanation, or do you feel like your personal relationships
Starting point is 00:18:32 and nobody's business with your own? I feel like both. I feel like as people that's supporting you, that's buying into you and that love you, you have to get them some type of, you know, they got to be able to connect with you. So I can't just be like, fuck y'all. This is my person with life.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I don't owe y'all shit. It's half of me that do feel like they were at the end of the day being a real person, you know, I feel like that dough is open to them. How do you reconcile supporting someone publicly when the court of public opinion is saying something completely different? Because if I meet you today or if my time that I experience with you is one way,
Starting point is 00:19:14 I can only judge that person that way. So it's just like I can't speak to nothing that I don't know of. I can only speak to the person that I met. And if I met this person that changed my life, that helped me grow, that treating me like a queen that made me believe in myself, it's like, that's what I know. And I feel like people can have opinions, but I can only judge a person off of what I love
Starting point is 00:19:40 and what I experience. Like, I can't speak on nothing that I never was a part of, that I never knew. Like, I can only judge who I met. I can only judge who I was in a relationship. Should we? Were you afraid that they might call you to testify? No. I never hear nothing. I don't have nothing they had. You seem like a very loyal person. I am.
Starting point is 00:20:02 At what point does loyalty become a liability? That's a good question, Shalene. We got time. We can just sit there to you. I mean... Meaning because you might be with somebody and at some point you realize just you even being loyal to this person to a fault, at some point you might have to cut them off because they might start bringing you down. Yeah, I mean, I understand.
Starting point is 00:20:25 but also I just feel like if a person let's just say for instance right I'm just just use this as a scenario imagine a person help you become a better version of yourself or help you believe in yourself or help you just experience new things or just introduce you to new things that was that you was able to take and you know create create keep creating for your family or it just is still a positive It's kind of hard to say, fuck you, you're going through this shit. I don't go to fuck. Like, I gotta just fuck you.
Starting point is 00:21:02 It's hard. You get me saying? Like, it's very hard because it's like, I don't want to kick somebody by they down. And I don't want to just say, fuck you, you're going through that shit. You got to figure it out because I, like, you my friend. I have a relationship with you. I have a personal relationship with you. Like I know you.
Starting point is 00:21:20 It's like family. Like we like locked in. So it's like, that's a hard situation. And it's just like I cannot just turn my back on somebody like that easy. Like that means it was never no love there. Whatever I did for you, it meant nothing. It just that would be a fake person to me. What did this whole situation teach you about who's really in your corner?
Starting point is 00:21:41 Because I feel like, I don't know, when I listen to the album and I hear you in an interview sometime, I feel like people turn their back on you the way you wouldn't have done if the rolls were. So many people who didn't echo back to the liability question. Like some people who just going to do it. what makes sense. You know what I'm saying? And some people just going to ride out with you. Like, we're going to figure this out
Starting point is 00:22:00 because things do turn around. You understand? So I think, I'm just focused on the people that stay down with me. The people that left, they wasn't supposed to be here. Did being tied to the, did any situation impact your branding anyway? It did. Really? It did.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Bad. Like, I'm not talking about just social media. No. I'm talking about in real life. It did. Like what? It just, it was a lot. I lost deals, I lost money, I lost relationships, I lost a lot.
Starting point is 00:22:30 And, you know, here I am. Wow. After everything you've experienced, right? I mean, there's so many things you've experienced on a personal level, on a business level, you know, how has your relationship with trust changed? I don't trust nobody. Damn. I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Like, trust is like the only person. I probably trust is God and my kids. And I think that I don't know what trust is built on because you could be knowing a person, your whole, like your kids, it's eternal. So I don't, when it comes to trust, I don't, that's, I don't trust God.
Starting point is 00:23:11 I got friends that I love and that I trust to a certain extent, but it ain't never in the back of my mind like a person wouldn't do something to me. Was there a particular situation that made that, made you feel like that? Like, just seeing everything unfold, how people would be with you and then. with something get hot, they just go.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Like, they ain't trying to stand by you. They ain't trying to support you. They just get the fuck on. Do you expect you from other people? I do. And that's very disappointing when you get it. It is. I expect me in every person that I meet.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I'm like, I won't do that. They're going to do it. And when they do it, I just be like, whooply do it. Now, you know, I love the city girls. Mm-hmm. So I hate to see you and JT not together anymore. What's the status of your relationship now?
Starting point is 00:23:53 I think that when it comes, to me and J.T., I felt like it was a marriage, right? You meet somebody, y'all fall in love, shit happening, y'all break up, y'all get a divorce. It could be ugly or it could be good. It could be one that charges get a divorce and you'll move on or it could be one that be fighting from the public. And I think that it was one of those situations where, you know, we childhood friends. That love is always going to be there.
Starting point is 00:24:21 That's why even when the whole thing on the end of that happened, I'm like J.T. like, what we doing here? We can never go, this is never gonna go nowhere because it's like I'm never, we both ain't gonna go that far. Like, we family. You said, you all got the periods
Starting point is 00:24:37 at the same time. Yeah, like, when you, as a woman, as a girlfriend group, if you be around somebody every day, I get your period at the same time, around the same month. So it was at one point
Starting point is 00:24:48 we'll be on tour, like, but you got a tampon, you got a time fine. Like, we were friends. We grew up together. That's one of, always be a person that I got love for. When something like the city girls ends,
Starting point is 00:25:02 it's not just business, though. Like, that's a piece of your identity. So what did you have to, I guess, what did you grieve in letting that version of yourself go? It was just like losing like a friend, like a sister. Did it feel like a deaf? It, it hurts. I won't say death because their person is never,
Starting point is 00:25:25 coming back, she's still here. So it's always room for us to have a conversation. So I ain't going to say death, but it hurts. It's like getting your heart broke for the first time. What made you two actually grow apart? Like everybody thought it was Carisha. She got the podcast now. She's doing the reality show.
Starting point is 00:25:42 She's getting her Beyonce on. Yeah. People thought, well, JT takes music more seriously than Carisha does. What was it? Now, I think it was just more of she felt like, you know, JT into, like, fashion and so many. different of the things. She got her own lane and I think just like we are in just two different lanes. Like our brands is just two different brands and it's like two different people
Starting point is 00:26:04 trying to be one that she's never going to work. And I think it was more of like she just had a lane that she wanted to go in and it just wasn't the same type of time I was on. So it was just more of like I'm kind of ready to do my own thing. Like I don't really want to do this shit and I'm getting older because she's older than me. So it was more of like I'm just, you just ready to go. I've heard you say JT hasn't been the same since the Fed case. What case you're talking about? When she went to prison.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Got you. You think jail changed her? Yeah, I think jail shaped people. I think when you go to jail, if you, you know, you sobering in there not saying that she do drugs, I'm just saying, like, people, when you go in there, that's like timeout. Like, you have no time, you have nothing to do but to sit and think and reflect, and it can, like, it could fuck you up or it can help you grow, but it mentally do something to you because it's like you got a time away from everybody.
Starting point is 00:26:56 You just sit and reflect. And I think that before JT went in, me and her was like this. Like, we were so like this. And when she came home, I just felt a shift. But it wasn't bad. Like, I didn't take heat to it because my mom been in prison. So I know what it's like to be in jail and come home. They see the world differently because they just went the time out.
Starting point is 00:27:20 So I feel like that was my experience. Did you ever feel, I don't know if I call it jealousy, but, you know, she had a man and she spent more time with her man now, and you, you know, you probably was used to y'all being together all the time. Was there anything like that? Not when it comes to a man, because as women, we all want to be with our men. Like, I don't, I'm, I'm, I'm a cruees. So I'm very big on space, and I like to be alone a lot. So I think it was me. Like, I like, I disconnect a lot of times, and it could come off as in, like, I'm disconnected. But sometimes I got to just go and just, just. You by myself. Have y'all talked about any of this? We have. I think we need a therapist.
Starting point is 00:28:06 We need somebody to come and hear both sides. Because when we try to express ourselves, it's like what you did is to me, but you did this to me. We just point in the finger at each other. It's like, you made me feel this way. Well, you made me feel this way. I ain't do nothing to you.
Starting point is 00:28:18 It's like we're not getting nowhere. So we got to literally have someone come in and say, look, she feel like this and you feel like this and like, what's the solution? You clearly love. J.T. I do. I'm saying, so why not go get a counselor or a therapist and y'all just go have a couple
Starting point is 00:28:33 of sessions with each other and put everything on the table and see if, you know, y'all can resolve the relationship? Because I think we both need time to do our own thing. Because I think that when J.T. was doing her thing, I never wanted to make it about me. Like I didn't want to, oh, you see I'm doing my thing. Now you're trying to come back now. Now you're trying to make things. And I don't want it to feel like that when I'm doing my thing.
Starting point is 00:28:53 So I think she did her thing. I'm doing my thing now. Let us both grow, you know, as individuals, and I think that time will come. And I also think we both got to be ready. It can't just be like when I feel like I'm ready or when she felt like she ready. Like we've both got to be in the space where we could sit down as adults and say, okay, we're in a better space now. And I think we need that time apart. So the city girls aren't done.
Starting point is 00:29:17 It's just like a season of separation kind of. Yeah, I wouldn't never just off the city girls. We built this together. You know, like we did a lot together to just say that. It never happened, though it's just at like, it's just dead. You know, like, it's forever going to be the city girls. Like, we both come from the fucking hood. We got a, that's an accomplishment for both of us.
Starting point is 00:29:40 So, I look at it like that. You know, people on the internet were saying that it was a lover's quarrel. Like, y'all be scissoring or something like that. Oh. I ain't never seen her. I made that up. I know you did. That's what they do on the internet, though.
Starting point is 00:29:54 People make up shit in this far believing it. If the city girls never make music again, what would you want that legacy to be? Just the city girl. You and JT. I wanted to be two young girls that grew up together. They came and they made history. And it was sisterhood. It was built off of sisterhood.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Yeah. You've had to process a lot of loss publicly and privately. You've got relationships changing, people you love no longer here. How do you even begin to separate? your personal grief from what the world is consuming as entertainment. And that's the part I feel like they don't understand. Like for them it's just like, they don't give me a grace. And I think it's hard going, it's hard going through everything publicly
Starting point is 00:30:45 with the world just being a weird and ignorant place. And I think that I really got a chance to actually send in go through my grievance ages because it's like I always had to work or I always got to defend myself voice just in front of the world. So I just worked through the blue sheet. Like I haven't really had a sign. I already see in dodges everything that's happened to me. But you know they say staying busy is a response to trauma. So you're trying to run from what you probably actually should be sitting down and dealing with. So why do I need to deal with it? You said what? Why do I need to deal with it?
Starting point is 00:31:18 I mean because I always feel like if you don't deal with your trauma, your trauma or ultimately deal with you. Like you know the example I like to use? Remember when Woolsmill Was that the Oscars? Mm-hmm. That's the biggest night of his life, right? He's about to get crowned. He about to get best actor
Starting point is 00:31:33 and, like, everything just, you know, came out at once. He lashed out. And he lashed out in that moment. Mm-hmm. That's why I see. Deal with your trauma
Starting point is 00:31:43 or your trauma ultimately deal with you. You can't run from it forever, Carisha. I got to deal with it when God popped and he's showing me. Mm-hmm. I don't want to deal with it right now.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I got too much to focus on. I think that it just put you in a depression that it's hard to pull yourself out of. And it's just like, I don't want to deal with it right now. Like right now, I got kids to raise and I got things that I need to do. I don't want to be dealing with trauma. Speaking of your kids, you know, it's the last question I'll talk about with grief, but you did lose a father of your child. And that's a different kind of grief because it's not just yours.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It's your child as well. How has that changed the way you show up as a woman and as a mother? I mean, it's so hard as a woman losing like a male figure. Because it's like I always check on my son. Are you okay, dude? You know, mentally, how are you? And I feel like he always like, I'm okay. But I feel like even if he's not, he wouldn't put it on me.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Because I think, you know, he's a young man that's growing up. He probably don't even want to put that on me. So, like, for me, it's just, it's hard. Because I be like, damn, I'm raising my son. He's 12 now. He's got to be a team. so I know he's about to get it to teenager things. Who's that, like him and his dad was like this.
Starting point is 00:33:03 So who's that male figure in his life that's going to replace his dad? It's not nobody. And it's me. So I put a lot of pressure on myself and I try to apply myself as much as I can and really, you know, try to make sure
Starting point is 00:33:17 that he knows, like, hey, I'm here for you. You can come to me about anything. I'm going to put what it is. We're going to figure it out together. Did he talk to you about everything? No. Really? Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:33:30 He's shy. He's very shy. He's really, really, really shy. He got my little sister, which is his aunt. I feel good about that because that's my sister that he talked to. Do you tell him that he has to have $100 million, the girl's not going to want to date him? No. I don't even instill that type of stuff in him at all.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Like, I literally hate when he get on the internet and see me say stuff like that, but I got him to stop. Oh, man. People don't think about that. They don't think about when you got kids old enough to be online and see what... people are saying about their mom or what their mom is saying about other people. You ever have to explain that to him? My son is so smart. He's like the, he's smart.
Starting point is 00:34:08 And he loves, that's something I love about my son. He's into school. Like if I go out, he'd be like, Mommy, you know I got to go to school tomorrow. Like, how I'm getting to school tomorrow? He'd be on me like school tomorrow. I got a test. He's very, he loves school. So he, he knows that.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Like, that's not something I had to explain to him. He knows that. Do you talk to him about your music? I did play my Apple for him. So he heard Carisha Tales? I skipped that song. I didn't go to like, I skipped that song. But I did play it for him because as a kid,
Starting point is 00:34:39 I just wanted to know what he'd think. And he really told me he liked a newsflash. He loved to Cheneal. He likes, still eat. He was like, I like kids. I love it. They made him and he feel good. So does him and J.T. still talk?
Starting point is 00:34:53 Yeah. I go through it. So, like, I randomly get his phone, let me see her phone, and they be, I love you. Like, they, I don't, they got their own relationship. I actually love that. I'd like, love that. And, I mean, I'm sure that makes you feel good, too,
Starting point is 00:35:07 but that lets you know, like, okay, there's still a bond here. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, he loved her, she loved him. Why don't you do, and we were talking about this before the interview started, why don't you do more records like F them kids and What's Up and Day County? Because to me, that's your lane. Because I love that old Miami-based town.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I was born in 1978, so I got. I grew up on, that's my era, the Uncle Lugar. Like, why don't you do more of that? Like, that sound need to come back. I am. I think that I just had to get back in my groove, you know, and I had to get back in my sound. I think as artists, the fans will stare you away
Starting point is 00:35:39 from what's your sound. Because then they go to tell you, like, if I put out fucking kids, someone say, you ain't growing, and you still talk about fucking them kids, you did da-da-da-da. So it put artists in a place where you get in your head and you feel like you need to make better records. And then you start making shit
Starting point is 00:35:54 that don't even resonate with your fans, and they didn't even you. And now you just sound like you're trying shit. So I think that there was a phase I went through to. And now I'm back in my bag, I'm back in my bop. And I know that those songs feel good to me. Like those records that I love, and I feel like that's my best self. So I am going to make more records like that.
Starting point is 00:36:11 So are these records you, like when you hear records, like take me to Chanel and, you know, Corretia Tells. Is that really where you at right now? Oh, it always take me to Chanel. For sure. Have mercy. You see what I got on right now? Yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Yeah. Lord have mercy. I want to ask you something about grief again. Do you feel like grief has hardened you or softened you or made you more intentional about who and what you pour into? I think all of the above grief is so, I think grief coming like different stages. And I think that when it comes to grief, I think it made me stronger. Because I always feel like I got to be so strong. Like whenever I cry, like, why you, I be, I don't feel bad, but I be like, come on.
Starting point is 00:36:58 like, let's get out of this. Like, you got to keep growing. So I feel like grief made me shrunker. It made me feel like I got to keep going. Like, I can't live in this. I feel like because you had to, like, you know, raise, I guess, your brothers and sisters when your mom was in prison
Starting point is 00:37:16 and just, you know, growing up in the environment you grew up and, like, I almost feel like, you know, you didn't maybe get to childhood you wanted. Yeah, no, I was grown. I was saying to be a woman. I was cooking, going to the grocery store down at Section 8 for an application. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick.
Starting point is 00:37:40 I like to be prepared. That's why I remember 988, Canada's Suicide Crisis Hubline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. You know, Roaldol. the writer who thought up Willie Wonka, Matilda, and the BFG. But did you know he was also a spy?
Starting point is 00:38:06 Was this before he wrote his stories? It must have been. Our new podcast series, The Secret World of Roll Doll, is a wild journey through the hidden chapters of his extraordinary, controversial life. His job was literally to seduce the wives of powerful Americans. What? And he was really good at it. You probably won't believe it either.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Okay, I don't think that's true. I'm telling you. The guy was a spy. Did you know Doll got cozy with him? the Roosevelt's, played poker with Harry Truman, and had a long affair with a congresswoman. And then he took his talents to Hollywood, where he worked alongside Walt Disney and Alfred Hitchcock, before writing a hit James Bond film. How did this secret agent wind up as the most successful children's author ever?
Starting point is 00:38:45 And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids. The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote. Listen to the secret world of Roll Dahl on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Bailey Taylor and this is It Girl. You may know me from my It Girl series I've done on the streets of New York over the years. Well, I've got good news. I am bringing those interviews and many more to this podcast. Yes, we will talk about the style and the success,
Starting point is 00:39:17 but we are also talking about the pressure, the expectations, and the real work with the women's shaping culture right now. As a woman in the industry, you're always underestimated. So you have to work extra hard and you have to push the narrative in a way that doesn't compromise who you are in your integrity. You know, I like to say I was kind of like a silent ninja. Each week, I have unfiltered conversations with female founders, creatives, and leaders to talk about ambition, visibility, and what it really takes to build something meaningful in the public eye. Because being an it girl isn't about the spotlight, it's about owning it.
Starting point is 00:39:50 I think the negatives need to be discussed and they need to be told to people who maybe don't do this every day just so they know what's really going on. I feel like pulling the curtain back is important. Listen to It Girl with Bailey Taylor on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or Roll. wherever you get your podcasts. Marsh Madness is here, and if you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court,
Starting point is 00:40:11 we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. I do think UCLA has a really good chance
Starting point is 00:40:23 of getting back to the final four. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament, but I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting. that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon
Starting point is 00:40:39 and that right after that would be Texas. SEC is so deep and so thinking just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU, only ones that could possibly upset Yukon. On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments of the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament,
Starting point is 00:41:00 we got you. Listen to Flakron and Funny with Kerry Champion and Jamel Hill on the Iheart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of I Heart Women's Sports. I became a millionaire overnight, but lost everything that actually mattered. Wait a minute, Sophia. Did you just say he lost everything? That's right. It's inheriting too much drama week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, I just inherited a fortune after losing my mom,
Starting point is 00:41:27 and now my girlfriend's entire family is coming out of nowhere with their hands out. One sibling wants me to fund their whole lifestyle. Another vanished for four years and suddenly reappeared, and my girlfriend is already giving my money away. Hold on, Sophia. So the girl he wants to marry is already sending money out the door. And that's just the beginning. He makes a plan, sets up a trust, and finally thinks he has everything under control. Okay, so things work out then?
Starting point is 00:41:50 Let's just say the people he trusted the most are the ones who ended up shocking him the most. So does the money end up being worth going through all that? To find out, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. gas. So I appreciate it because I know how to do a lot. Like I know how to do applications. I not have to feel like stuff for credit. I know how to apply for things. So it's like a blessing inner courage because I do wish I did have a childhood like at one point but I did have to be an adult fast. Like I had to raise kids. Like I had to get them ready for school with our uniforms.
Starting point is 00:42:25 At one point I started boosting because I had to, my mom wasn't there. You know like these her kids, how they're going to get uniforms? I don't got no money. I don't got no job. So I had to go and get them clothes, you know? That's why you want that man with $100 million because you want to be taken care of. You want to just kick your feet up for a second? Yeah, I do. You want somebody to treat you the way you've always treated people.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Yes. Got you. Yes. Got you. What so much happening around you, right? What boundaries have you had to create to protect your peace that you didn't have before? I don't feel bad about my feelings no more.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Like, I can feel the way in the night, but I won't say that. to that person because I want them to take it. It's like if this how I feel, this is how I feel, you gotta respect how I feel. Like, it's literally seeing how I feel. Like, no, it's no. If I don't wanna do this, I don't wanna do this, I don't have to explain myself,
Starting point is 00:43:18 I don't care how it makes you feel, because I'm the type of person, I always put myself on the other side how to expect this person feel, how I'm gonna look. I don't do that anymore. I don't hear it. I love, to go back to the album, I love the Day County record.
Starting point is 00:43:35 What did that record mean to you? Because you got your girl Trina on there, who always said in inspiration, you Trick is on there, Rick Ross. Like, why did you select those three individuals to do that record? That's Day County. Trick, Trina, and Ross. When you think of Day County, they did so much. And you know it's not a lot of artists that come from Miami.
Starting point is 00:43:55 And they did so much. And it's like, when I listen to the radio station, because I do that a lot, I love hearing like DJ Nasty. They play a lot of Miami mixes and they all mix them in. And I was like, I want to have that same feeling now in my generation. Like when you go listen to the radio, you still hear Trip Trenna, but me and it sound new. You know, like, it's in Miami, the high schools, the band, it's real big, and I just can hear them doing it like when they're doing the games and things like that.
Starting point is 00:44:24 That's what inspired that song. What does Trina mean to you? And what does she taught you? Trina, she always just dropping knowledge in me. Like when I first got it to this game, she called me, listen, keep your face clean. Know what you're doing, know the business. Say what you want, like it's what you want. Like, don't let nobody take advantage of you.
Starting point is 00:44:49 And these men go come, but pick the right one. And if you get in the relationship with them, make sure you come out in that relationship with something. Damn. She said it, I'm Carisha, please. Yeah. What about professionally, though? Just as an artist. I mean, she always just telling me, like, look, you're a star.
Starting point is 00:45:09 You doing it. Don't let everybody tell you shit. You know, like, you show what you can do. It's going to always be a lot. They come with this. And she was like, you got it. Like, just believing yourself. And ain't nothing going to stop you.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Do you feel like you've been judged fairly? No, I feel like I've been judged. I feel like I get judged. every single thing that I do and it's just like I don't I've been trying to go down the timeline and figure out when did all this happen and when did this shift or like what's the problem
Starting point is 00:45:39 I think it was Carisha please only because it was such a good podcast but you would get so comfortable on there that you would talk and you would say things and you would give them ammo like you when you talked about getting peed on I made that up you don't say you made that up now okay I mean I mean
Starting point is 00:45:57 Okay, no, let's talk about it. So I didn't even make that card. I didn't even know what a golden shower was. So I came up with the car as wits on. And when I got to the car, I'm like, what the fuck is a golden shower? And then she was like, you never did a little? I'm like, bitch, no. So when we was doing a podcast, I just did it because I was promoting my game.
Starting point is 00:46:19 So I'm thinking that this is going to be something that just like gold power, but I ain't know. It was like a whole thing of like me actually being pito. And that's something I'm just like, damn, like I should have really thought about that one. I didn't think it was like a, yeah. And you was dating somebody named P. Diddy? I said that. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:46:39 You did that to yourself. I know. It was, that was one thing that was like, it was good and bad. Because, y'all, they, that was like the most talked about thing ever. And that was one month that my sales went skyrocketed, but all good money, all money and good money. And that's one thing I was just like, damn, I should have thought about that. And I always go back to it because I remember calling Brittany. You know, Britney, she was like, and even when it came out, she was like, bitch, you didn't even know where to go to the show was.
Starting point is 00:47:08 And I'm like, it's out there. These people ain't going to believe me. That's just something that I got to bite that bullet. Got it down the hill. So you've never been peed on? Mm-mm. Damn. No.
Starting point is 00:47:16 If I would have been peed on, I literally, I mean, I told y'all. You didn't have to tell us everything. I've learned that in life, too. You think you got to share so much because we'd be in front of these cameras and in front of these microphones. We'd be old. But I mean, if I talk about my sexual life, I talk about it, I'd say it like that. Is that one you ever had to explain to your son? No, we never talked about it.
Starting point is 00:47:37 It's, that's one thing that's uncomfortable for me, because I always be like, damn, I do want, because I've been thinking about it now, like, damn, like, I want to pee. I know he got to get into arguments that shit in school is going to come eventually, hopefully not, but I'm like, damn, why I did that to myself? In my kids. How do you plan to explain, like, those complicated? adult situations to your child while still trying to like
Starting point is 00:48:00 preserve his sense of innocence I gotta just tell him what it is talk to him like a man and just literally say look I made some mistakes and I think that you're gonna make some you know and you gotta be mindful things like this you gotta learn for me
Starting point is 00:48:14 that's something that I learned something I'm not I'm not proud of and I regret but don't make the same mistake what do you think you've done wrong like that like that's this one yeah like I hate that like I literally be like why
Starting point is 00:48:26 I did it. Like, you know, marketing, it's marketing. You say shit. I'm like, but that was like a wrong card. But again, I never been peed on, so I didn't think that it was just like a thing. So what does accountability look like for you, Carisha? Not even just publicly, but when you sitting at home in your house just privately, like, what does accountability look like for you? When you look at me like, what did I do wrong, what did I do that caused this to happen?
Starting point is 00:48:51 Yeah. I say like the way that I present myself. The way that I carry myself, the things that I think is fun. You know, like the way I have fun is probably not the way that you have fun. So I think that just polishing up a little bit, toning some things down, or not sharing everything. Like everything, like if I'm outside, I'm having a good time, I'm shook my head, maybe I ain't got to post it.
Starting point is 00:49:13 You know, just things like that. I think it's kind of like what I put out there. But why you figure me and you don't have the same type of fun? What do you like to do that I probably wouldn't like to do? Probably like hang out at like 5 o'clock in the morning. Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, leave Miami at the club, but we tried to get on the boat. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:49:30 Yeah. I used to like G5, though. Yeah. G5 was a fire spot. Do you feel like you're finally in control your narrative? Yeah. I think that now I get a chance to really tell my story, you know, and nobody control your narrative, but you,
Starting point is 00:49:43 you're the one that's putting out whatever, whatever it is. You're the one that's beating, whatever it is that you're beating. So, yeah. What scares you more? Starting over solo or being misunderstood forever? Being misunderstood forever because I think that people that really know me, that really, like, know who I am as a person, I'm nothing like what's out there. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Like, absolutely not. And I hate that. I hate that it's out there. It's like a thing. I just be like, what? Like, what the fuck? But, I mean, I can fix it. Well, you know, the time can say time can fix all, right?
Starting point is 00:50:20 Yeah. I remember when you said your music was getting shelves. Was it getting shoved by QC? I think at one period of time, I think they would just turn off with us at the group. Like, they just felt like we was letting the group go, this they investment. You know how they should.
Starting point is 00:50:36 They were just over it. So when we started branching off in our solo era, I think that when it came to me, I feel like I always get, I feel like I just, when it comes to music, I get it hard. And I think that I was presenting the music, some of like the songs that I got out.
Starting point is 00:50:53 It was just like, no. Don't grow up there. No, we're talking about the same shit. And I'm just like, well, we all saying the same shit. I mean, I just feel like this is the music that I made. When you say we all saying the same shit, like you mean like the guys were making the same kind of music? All female rappers now. That's like the music, the topic, the subject.
Starting point is 00:51:13 It's all the same. We're just saying in different ways. I like, you know, what QC did for a lot of their artists, but I do feel like, man, they dropped the ball on a couple of y'all projects in a way. I don't know if it was y'all I know that one album came out during the pandemic that I can't remember what album that was
Starting point is 00:51:32 where broke niggas don't deserve no pussy That was the one that was I don't know if it was girl called a city on lock It was city on lock Yeah, because the one with Doja Cat was on there Yeah I feel like that one should have really really went but it was the pandemic Like I was like why even put out an album during that time
Starting point is 00:51:49 Like did they make you do that? But people couldn't do nothing but be at home and listen to music. Like, everybody was in the house, remember they had the quarantine lives and stuff like that. So I think that it was just a time where people was just in the house
Starting point is 00:52:01 listening to music. But I think that we wanted, like, for instance, we wanted to have Turculator as a single. They didn't. And then the song ended up, once it got leaked,
Starting point is 00:52:13 then they end up wanting, like, this is the song. We was like, because we wanted Turculator, they went with Pinyada. Let's make him do that song. We were like, we want Terculator. They wanted Pinyato.
Starting point is 00:52:23 So they went piquet y'all that's twirculated end up going after the fact. But then you know how the fans. They was like, oh, God, y'all did a video after the fact. We ain't known it no more. We used it da-da-da-da-da. And then it was more of like pointing fingers. And then, you know, one of those things. So what's the difference between that situation and your new situation with you?
Starting point is 00:52:43 I think I'm in control now. I think that, you know, I made my own decisions, and I think that he just supported me. What's the lesson in all this for you and the people watching? The lesson at all, what? Just this, this existence that Carisha has gone through, all of these things that we've seen publicly and privately. When you sit here in this very moment right here looking at me,
Starting point is 00:53:14 what do you think the lesson has been? Life is a journey and it's going to be different places like. And I feel like I am perfectly flawed. I have flaws to me. Like, I'm going, I'm a human. Someone make mistakes. I'm gonna grow, I'm a crime, I'll go through things, but y'all have watched me from when I first started to now,
Starting point is 00:53:31 and it's a journey. And I'm, it's an open journey, and I want y'all to come on this journey with me, and we'll look back and say, I'm so proud of you. Like, you really went through all that shit, you set back, you took accountability, you cleaned up, you realized what was wrong, and you came far.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Like, that's what I want to put out there. What does success look like for you in regards to this album? to this album. So, that's like, Billboard, Grammy, touring, and just really showing people like, okay, we underestimate her being an underdog coming out on top. Well, Carisha, nice to meet you again for a million times. Yes, yes, you meeting a whole new, like this is... I feel that way.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I don't know why. I've been around you a bunch of times, but I feel like I'm meeting. a whole new individual. Because you know why? I think that like I was always, whenever we come and we do these runs, it's promoted something, it's selling something. So I was always trying to sell something. Like, I got to, you know, I'm more of like, I don't got to do all that now.
Starting point is 00:54:44 It's like less is more, just going there and just, you know, just to have a conversation. You don't got to go and be extra and do this and do that. Like, the people are going to fuck with you. It's going, it's going, I just want to you know, it's going to be a little uncomfortable. And the reason that's going to be a little uncomfortable because you really are standing alone. Like, there's no JT, there's no Diddy, it's really just you right now. And that's why I love it.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Because y'all saw me with JT. Y'all saw me with Diddy and now y'all see me by myself. And I'm going to show y'all what I can do. Thank you, Carisha. Thank you. I appreciate you. I really enjoy you, y'all, ma'am. I enjoy you.
Starting point is 00:55:23 I love listening to you. I love your tape. Take some stuff because you are a very. No. No. It's doing that shit, like. And I think that that's like, that's like earning your respect. Like, you have to respect an honorable person.
Starting point is 00:55:39 You know what I'm saying? Like, that's why when I wanted to do this conversation, I was like, I gotta do it with Sholomey. Like, I have to. They're gonna respect you the same way. I mean, I think they already do. They just fuck with you. They fuck with me online.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Like, they are, they fuck with you because you're such a transparent person. And you give them energy. If you ignore them, they still fuck with you. you but not as much. Yeah. But it's good they, it's good to fuck with them back sometimes. Yeah. But I'm learning out.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Like now I just be like, man, I'm a lockout. Does it really, until that music drop, when you drop that album, you're gonna be there all night going through your Twitter. Like, I'm not gonna laugh. I am. I am. Looking to see what people's reactions are. I am. I am.
Starting point is 00:56:20 That would drive me crazy. I don't know how y'all do. It do. It drives people crazy. It does, but. I tell all of them. I saw a digital guy, but I'd be telling Jess, Lauren, all of them, stop looking at the comments. It's hard because you want to see what people online saying about.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Like, if you drop something, you're really going to look to see if they fuck with. But then you go down that rabbit hole of the negativity. And then it'd be one thing that trigger you that make you feel like, I end to defend myself or I need to pull myself. And it's like, no, that shit just open up a door for it to keep going. And that's what I learned. I don't think it's real. I really truly don't believe that majority of that shit online is real.
Starting point is 00:56:58 It's a nap. Like, even, you know, we're laughing about the Jack Hollow album, but I think people are just doing it because it's funny. That's there. That's it. That's it. It's the, it's the humor for the week. Like, let's make all these memes and stuff. Like, you know, I don't personally care for the album, but it ain't, you know, it ain't worthy of all of that.
Starting point is 00:57:18 But it's just funny. Yeah. And nobody's even talking about the music. It's just the joke. It's just the memes. It's just the memes of the joke. Yeah. So they're going, how on, they're going to always.
Starting point is 00:57:28 They're going to always do that to artists. Yeah. I don't know any artist that that doesn't happen to now. Yeah. Dan, I forgot the actual question I wanted to ask you on the camera. Come on, let's do it. We can do it now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Okay. Okay, so a question that I wanted to throw back at you was, you know, just... Has this turned into an episode of Carisha, please? Yeah, possibly. Okay. I wanted to, I really want to just, you know, talk about growing up and some things that you had to do when you are who you are now. Do you believe that people change? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:58:02 I believe people change, people grow, people evolve. Like the first book my father ever gave me was the autobiography of Malcolm X. And the reason I love that book so much is because it literally shows you the evolution and transformation of a man. Like Malcolm X was Malcolm Little. He was a pimp.
Starting point is 00:58:20 He was, you know, selling drugs, number running, all types of stuff. But then he went to prison, you know, got introduced to the teachings of, you know, the honorable Elijah Muhammad and became a whole different individual. He became the Malcolm X that we know now. That's another reason why I love the NOI so much because they show you that transformation
Starting point is 00:58:39 and growth is possible, but you got to be intentional about that growth. Like, you know, it can't be performative. Like you really, really, you know, got to do the work. So yes, I absolutely believe in growth and evolution. Yeah. And that's another thing, too, when you say he went to prison, I think that when people go to prison it's about what they do with their time of prison. Because you can go to prison and you can go to school.
Starting point is 00:59:00 It got so many programs. You can go to school. You can learn. That's when people come out and they do a book and they talk about their experiences in prison. And I think that it's kind of like what you do with your time of prison. And I think like with my mom, she felt so bad because she was like I left my kids out there that she didn't really go in there and grow.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Like she came in her with resentment. Like, oh, my God. I'm like, girl. It's fine. It's okay. We're good. You've got good kids. Like, look at me. I ain't out here killing nobody doing it wrong. Like, it's okay. Like, and that's something that I learned to, like, pat myself on the back. It's like, it's hard out here. And long as you show up and you sacrifice for your kids, like, it's okay. You know, the thing about growth, right? It's so funny in this era because, especially with social media, they won't allow you to grow. You could be a whole different person. evolved on a whole different level, but they'll be talking to you about something you did five years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago,
Starting point is 01:00:06 and you're like, damn, I ain't even on that no more, but they'll constantly remind you of who you were. So we gotta do such a great job, we gotta do a great job of protecting our peace, right? And not letting them tell us who we are. Yeah. You know? Yeah, and I think that's a problem with social media,
Starting point is 01:00:23 like what you were saying. We read so much online about ourselves, that that's what we feed in our mind and it's just become a thing of like you start like, look, I'm seeing this coming here 15 times, 20 times like you start, that shit started like digesting in your mind.
Starting point is 01:00:39 It's like, it's... That's why you can't be on it. I was telling you, like, when your album come out, just give yourself at least... I know it's going to be hard, but give yourself at least the weekend. Like, the album drop on a Friday, don't check the comments till Monday.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Okay. Like, just give yourself... 48 hours just to experience the joy of putting out a solo album. Yeah. Just let it ride for a minute. Yeah, I'm going to do that. I don't think you're going to do it. I don't believe you.
Starting point is 01:01:07 I don't believe you. I'm growing, Charlemagne. I'm grown. You said something earlier when you was talking about, you know, Diddy that I, you know, I thought about, but I'd never, like, heard anybody speak about. It's like when you know somebody later in life, probably is a whole different person.
Starting point is 01:01:27 He probably has grown and evolved and learned from those mistakes, but we wouldn't know that. Yeah. You know? Yeah, and I honestly, and I think that people think that like, oh, oh, you're trying to protect some of it?
Starting point is 01:01:38 It's like, no, literally. Like, when we talked about like, Uncle Richard, please, like church, he says, like, oh, that's through church. And he was just so, like, trying to instill so much that I think that he probably experienced before. And that's why I'm like, okay, this is a man that has.
Starting point is 01:01:54 changed because of all the shit that he probably previously went through. Oh man, I saw him. We was at Bishop T.D. Jakes. He was at the Potter's house one Sunday and he was there and I saw him bawling like bawling like throwing himself on the altar
Starting point is 01:02:10 right? This was like maybe two years ago I think? No, I couldn't have been maybe two, maybe three years ago. I don't know. Maybe two three years ago. And I just remember thinking to myself like boy he doesn't have been through it. Like he's going through something right now. Yeah, because he always thought you know kids to go to church on Sunday.
Starting point is 01:02:25 You need to turn some TDJ students, do that. I'm like, okay. Yeah. And then I got more into, because I always had a relationship with God, but more into church. Did he help you grow spiritually? Yeah. He always sent me sermons and stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Like, do this before you go pray before you is, and do this when you always got to type it to God. What is it a day like for Corisha? Because I know I've seen you wake up, taking your kid to school, and you'll be listening to the radio. Like, what is it a regular day like for you in Miami? Wake up, take my case at school, go home, check my emails, call my management.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Whatever it is that I'm feeling I got to express myself. And I start working on new things. I think that I'm like constantly trying to create and like come up with new ideas and, you know, explore new things because I'm like, what's life for me outside music? And that's being an entrepreneur. So it's always like trying to come up with new products or like what can I create as different You know, like what people doing is that I can really grab their attention and make this another moment.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Cool. Unless you want to do more Carisha, please. I'm here for Carisha, please. We're bringing Carisha, please back, God damn it. We're going to bring Carisha please back. No, we're going to be back. Carisha, please, but I'm glad that, like, I had a break from season one or two.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Because now I got so many ideas of how I want to do season three, season three differently. Like, now I'm like, I want this to be different. I want to approach you. like this. I want to do it this way. I don't want to do it this way. So it just gave me a moment to really sit and like look at it and see like what was different about season one. What was different about season three? How can I, I mean, too, how can I grow season three? Like, what can I do to make the fans want it the first, the first time they saw it? Because season one,
Starting point is 01:04:11 like, I don't know if y'all was one of the ones that was hanging out of me. Yep, y'all said did he brought my um? He did, though. Award. When you won there be, what was it, BETT, hip-hip Yes, I earned that Charlemagne. You had four episodes. But you want to know, okay, I have four episodes. And what was, it was, four episodes? Yes, the four. And I love Carrey's.
Starting point is 01:04:32 Kevin Gates. It was Kevin Gates. Did he was the second? No, Did he was the, Kevin Gates and Did he? I don't know how it went, but the first episodes was powerful episodes. And then it was tied between Drink Chams and Carrier Police. Both of them was on revolt. Carisha Pleas was new.
Starting point is 01:04:50 It was in. vibe or new experience. I had hook on there. I had people getting wide open. We had a statement. We get into the smoke. The trailer was different. You had no cocaine. You had no cocaine. No, but we had hook and drinks the vibes. So I felt like it was something different. Something that's always different and new people going to be on it. You know, people own stuff that's trendy or that's new. I think it was, it was new and it was also me, like Carisha interview or somebody. So how would you make it different in season three or four? I want it to be
Starting point is 01:05:21 I want to have like I feel like I do have real conversations but I want to interview on a different level like a real deep level like I want to go deeper like who talking to people like with Sarah Jake Roberts Yeah I would love to see that
Starting point is 01:05:36 I would love to talk to Obama I would love to see that I really want to talk to Obama he's cool he's president Michelle O'Barrick oh the president yeah you would be good on Michelle they should try to get you on Michelle's podcast for your album
Starting point is 01:05:48 They should. She's going to make a cry, though. She's going to bring something out of you. Yeah. I mean, I love to sit down with the, you know, the first lady. That's the thing I do be hating about just when they look at certain people, especially us from the South. They think we slow for some reason.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Yeah. We're not realizing, like, do you understand where we come from? And the things that we learn early, like, we get instilled with, like, common sense and sovereign values that, you know, put us in a position to where we can prosper anywhere in the world. Yeah. Because we keep things simple for the most part. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:25 And I also, like, as a mother, I was looking at my kids. I would like, dang, what can I do differently? Or how am I raising my kids differently on how I was raised? Because we're still in Miami. So even though we're not in the hood, the environment is still the same. You know, like the kids that they're going to school with and things like that. So I think about that a lot, too. I just want you to give yourself grace, man.
Starting point is 01:06:50 I need to. You're doing good. Like, you're, number one, you're alive. Right? And, you know, your child is doing well. You're not in jail. Like, you've beaten the odds already. Like, think about where you come from.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Like, when you said you shot the video for news flash back in your hood. Look at that environment and be like, yo, I came up out of this. I'm the roles that grew from this concrete. So, yo, continue to give yourself grace. don't know what God got playing for you. That's why when people will laugh and he was like, oh, she says she's going to be the next black Oprah. Like, you know you laugh because Oprah already black.
Starting point is 01:07:25 But I don't know, you really might end up being that. Who am I to say you're not going to end up being that? Yeah. Anything is possible. You've got to believe in yourself. That's right. A lot of people don't believe in itself. That's a fact. I don't got to stuff out. Ever. You never felt that.
Starting point is 01:07:41 I mean, I do at times, but I got to kick out of a pass. I feel like, girl, yes, you can. Because you got to be, like, delusional a little bit to get where you want to come. When the last time you said you can't do something? And then you snapped out of it. Probably like today, I was like, it's so hard for me to stay consistent to the workout. I can't do it because I'll work out for a month.
Starting point is 01:08:02 It's hard for me to eat clean. I said, you could do that. You could do that. You got a train in mind. It is hard to eat clean when you're from Miami. You got the licking right there. I know that I'm doing these shows every night. It's the hookahs the drinks.
Starting point is 01:08:12 You see what I'm saying? But I can do it. You got tricks restaurant? Grove. Ooh, I love some of these. Ooh. Little fried ribs. You know Trickie's booty.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Trick is the head of the Eat the Booty game. How does he feel about too shaming? I should ask Trick. How does Trick feel about... Trit don't care what. Nobody got to say about he is the face of Eat the Booty game. He got the shirts, the merch, all that. He don't care what's my thoughts do I feel.
