grind I love I love music okay music I love performing it's this one of my greatest joys mm-hmm you know I started out as a dancer you guys dancer and I don't know it's just in my blood what I love

just gotta keep moving with the times you know you can't get stuck and just go okay I'm just gonna give up mm-hmm I never give up you can't give up yeah the best artists the people who do it because they love it really yeah I mean that's why I always did it I never did it to like become richer be famous earned that was never the goal the goal was like I want to sing I want to dance I want to do movies mm-hmm that's what I love what are you doing it on yes right now right now as we speak what does it get it annoying cuz they draggin you in and out of radio stations no you know what doing press is probably not my most favorite part of the job but it's part of the job I think we all you know if you get lucky enough to do something that you love there's still parts of it that you are not that you don't love what are the jobs it is it's like it's it is work after after all you know and then these are for the fans that are gonna be like I want to hear what she has to say even though you have your own YouTube channel I do have my own YouTube channel now it's weird and good well you could give out all your I don't want to touch it hey security I'm just picking up refer yes winter is coming my wife watches it I don't know I cannot wait is it too late now to try to catch up no because you can watch all the episodes done from the beginning you got to start from the beginning how many season in the middle gets rough but then when you get to the end it's crazy now notice your new single medicine yes when I first heard the name out there I was talking about weed it was not a bad assumption no but you know I've never smoked weed it's not my thing but um no it's not it's just a metaphor for like giving somebody a taste of what they do you know get your own medicine that's yeah you do it to me well how do you like it yeah exactly yeah I just had the most awkward moment cuz I was watching the video could a video yes I'm watching the video coming down the hall and miss on the phone so it's loud and then and I was thinking as I was walking but the video is absolutely amazing going alright number one at number one today you know elebrate we always like to see you out there dancing and singing and everything and just looking incredible so let's talk about the whole I know the video is based on something else right is it based on like a no I I did the video with Joe Francis she's a great young female director and who I love work I loved working with and we just came up you know the the song has a lot of like instrumentation like a big band yeah a lot of horns on percussion and I was like you know what maybe we'll do some kind of carnival or something like that and so I just ran that by her and she was like no you carnivals like too tacky listen to it let's make it sheep let's do it all white let's just do it like this would be very high-fashion and so that's kind of what she carnival like she called all white you keep it real BX all the time like I see the French cardio why is that why that important to you I just think is what I gravitate to is what I know is what I love I don't try to like do things that are not me I just try to do what I love yeah you know what I mean so I just I love French and so and I love Carty you know and so I try to work with that laughing you put up to the Bronx walked in the bodega got a chop sees chopped cheese sandwich in the you know since my grandma and it was never that long we always by the way I was there a couple days ago filming hustlers yeah we were filming up there what did you go to the strip club what strip club did you go to Nuiqsut ensue um the one that used to be scores know what it's called yes it's in the city I know you said it's called no no no no it's I forgot what it's called okay yeah so did you learn what the girls are like no you know what as an actress what you do is you observe like I'm really just trying to soak up behavior soak up feel atmosphere you know they have money dude I don't like that beaver chips not that I know but I heard it was beaver beaver chips at school I don't know okay I'm sorry there was money okay money money okay but you know I was like watching how they did lap dances how they different girls performed on stage the interaction their attitude like I was their Pappy like everybody's happy here like they're putting off a certain atmosphere but then I was like tried to talk to some of them and feel like what they really think I did not get a lap dance I was I was like it was like my first time so I was like a little bit like just like looking at her first time minister car well I went to a strip club many years ago when I did the movie money train to get a body double they were like you should go just pick out a hell with JLo need them well I didn't know I was I don't know I didn't want to do nudity oh good I was like my second movie I was young and scared you said back then so now you're okay I'll do a little bit I'm still not a full nudity person like I just don't feel comfortable with that right so you'll be all over the gram you let your boyfriend get a lap dance I did first of all it's not let or not less yeah we were boyfriend and girlfriend then now obviously maybe now there's a let situation JLo on my side I'm not just gonna be like hey let me go get a lap dance no baby may I please write I did not suggest say anything and then we talked to some girls and then after that I was like right at the end as we were about to leave I go babe did you want to get a dancers any music now good answer yeah came out quick raise out the purse yeah but let's talk about hustlers right the movie that you're working on yes that looks like let's talk about the whole theme of it because I think people have to realize how it is empowering for women well I think you know sometimes people with movies they get like especially when it's like famous people that are like in the press acting in the movie they want to like make it about the person this is this is me playing a role this is us telling a story movies are about telling stories about slices of life and that's that's how I see this piece I see it like how you saw it like Goodfellas and you went inside the Mafia and you delve into that world and it's an underground world and you don't know about it and things are going on and it's the same thing this that's how I see this movie it's like going into this world from the woman's perspective and seeing what it's like and the things that they do and you know the things where they feel empowered and where they feel kind of desperate and it's it's a myriad of complex emotions and levels of things going on in this story and I find that very interesting you know people were doing what they won't do and where they cross the line and my last show shades a blue that I did was very much like that it's interesting to me how you know why people do what they do well there's no judgement in it you know what I mean this walk this was this came across you know I get a lot of script submissions and different things and I just felt like the role was a gritty good role for me I was like I've never done anything like this and it's scary to me I'll tell you the truth it's a it's a scary role for me to take on because I've never really exposed myself in this way kind of emotion I've also never played a character like I've always played like in my romantic comedies and out of sight I'm always a good person on the good side of the law not where it's so blurred a little bit that's what I liked playing Harley from shades of blue because I got to kind of like good person doing bad things what did you go and you realize that most people are like that we're good people and most people are good but we do [ __ ] sometimes so that's that's kind of like the interesting thing for me and this girl's a little bit more this character that I'm playing is a little bit more on the bad side of things like something things I wouldn't you know necessarily do in my own life because you believe in you said [ __ ] did I say [ __ ] I called cardi hey well it was it was a good conversation I was like this in baby I have this movie that I'm producing and starring in there's a really you know interesting role and by the way you can do any role she could have done any role in I said you can really there's a couple of different things you could do and it's about her time commitments and things like that she's got a lot going on and I understand that and she's I had never done a movie and and we just talked about and I said this is what it is about I said I don't know if you know about you know that things like this well she was like listen I come from that world I understand it I said it's not something that you'll have to get like an acting coach and do it I was like it's your natural like who you are that's that's all you have to do because I didn't want to feel out of her comfort zone either like you're gonna have to go and learn method acting or anything like this is you you probably understand this better than I do I'd love to pick your brain and you know we had a conversation about it and the life and what it was like and what it did for her and how she felt in it and and she was really she was like I'm gonna be part of issues I don't know how big a part of it I could be but I'm gonna be part of it and then she signed on so it was uh it was a great day what are some things that you learned about these women since we talked about how complex their characters are their motivations yeah hustlers yeah they are hustlers you know I think it's hard to talk about it mm-hmm I think you just need to see the movie it's hard to kind of take you through all the process of it because some of it can sound weird and some and I yeah so I just feel like it's gonna be a very interesting film it's gonna be a very in it and it's sexy and it's cool and it has all of those things that you want the pot you will have to see the movie you have see a movie but but yeah I mean obviously those are things that see you on the pole because let me tell you something when we go to the strip club and I don't like what girls when they're not good yeah yeah they can't it's so funny cardi was like I was like yo I'm learning how to dance on a pole to pole dancing I said it's really if not it is so hard yeah and she said I'm really good at it she was like and and she was like but it took me years mm-hmm and I was like well I'm getting the crash course and I was I'm telling you I had never had so many bruises in my life yeah all over my legs I'm bad like somebody had taken a bat to my legs and beat them up and it was it's not a good reference when you'd fiancé's ex baseball player right but knows if it was a pole but don't know what you think when you start getting it a little bit it's really fun yeah cuz it's nice some girls just walk around the club and just whatever but if you can oh no there's a lot of kind of like walking around the fine hours I watch the girls girls are like you could tell maybe they were acrobats before and I think they're always the best Oh like the real professional Dan yeah interested to see you and then there's performers too like I notice there's also girls who like just know how to work the crowd right you know I mean they know how to get the guys going and everybody comes to the front when they you know they do it money right away when they call their name out I you just having you there I was high I was I was so in the background and honestly I think it's probably one of the coolest places I've ever been as far as that goes because they don't make a big deal there's no cameras yeah there's no case so there nobody's taking pictures or asking any questions or anything it's just like let them chill when they didn't know why we were there they thought we were just there at the strip chillin right you know it's like did you two want to come yes I'm sure some of them were saying that no but the ones that we talked to and everything are you good at throwing money and I mean you know it's not something I do how much did you blow good I was it wasn't my money definitely now because now that you you're doing the movie you've seen him you speak to him because you know usually strippers have a stigma or something like that is bad mm-hmm looked at as not hustlers I mean I work in a strip club so I see how much they hustle and I see a lot of times they're paying for school paying for their kids paying for their family their moms or whatever maybe so do you look at him differently now well did you look at him differently at all I didn't really look down on it you know what I mean I just feel like everybody in life maybe this is where being an actress or studying behavior has a path and they make choices you know according to their circumstances and so I never really judge anybody you know I just look at it and go and wonder why that is what is that about how does that happen you know and and that's the interesting part to me so it was just it was just kind of a fun experience for us when we went it's also a true story right it's what is it we're calling it's a fictional story based on true of its heard is based off the tradition that happened in New York yes it's loosely based on that it's not like a true story of us telling those girls lives in any way shape or form but definitely about that this happened are you gonna have music in the movie also maybe maybe that would make sense yeah it does and by the way some of our songs that we have now like actually kind of fit minds and cardies period too you know because I happened in you know a few years back from 2006 I think the movie starts - 2013 yeah always wonder about the dynamic between you and Katya like what similarities do you see it between your being two young women from the Bronx yeah I think you know we just were both in the Bronx we're both latina uh we both you know had to kind of find our way and you know I started as a dancer she started as a dancer you know what I mean made me in different ways but kind the same and and you know just listening to her I told you I used to watch her on Instagram before she was had music out or anything like that you know and it's like how the girls I grew up with talked but see that's the difference right like you didn't have to navigate you know your way to stardom in this world of transparency like she did so like when you came right out the Bronx were you that raw and you know I was like if you see me as a Fly Girl like sometimes I there's one interview out there when they like interviewed me the day I came out of the Bronx to go be a Fly Girl my accent was so crazy I'm like who is that because afterwards I you know had to lose my accent and I had to learn different accents like played Mexican or play this or play that and so it kind of goes away but when I hear myself I'm like wow wow that's how I use this talk I had that heavy Bronx Latin accent but um yeah do you bring anybody that back to the bedroom where Alex cuz my god when I bring my wife to the strip club that night it's way different it's it's more exciting more exciting her being Latino I didn't get where he was going talking about that it's funny in his phone he has me as I don't like that that's okay it needs to say why now oh now it does yeah okay okay no wait wait from the beginning it was always like so what did you do when you saw other birds popping up now you also did this whole no sugar no carbs thing yes that looked very very difficult but it was amazing I don't think I could do that it was hard no sir I'm not gonna lie listen when you no carbs no fruit no like fruit oh my goodness knows we ate oh how to meet vegetables mm-hmm you know cheese has no sugar in it some cheese's you know things like that like you just have to stay away from egg whites things like that you know lactose-intolerant you can do cheese doesn't bind you up a little bit yeah hello did you do that for I did when the first time we did it our trainer challenges for 10 days cuz again Hustler's was kind of looming and we had like a month and a half to go or whatever and I was like I really I really got to make a change like I got to do something I want my body to look different and he was like okay he was like well let's do this and he's like it's gonna reset your body he goes and then we'll do it periodically until you have your big scenes and so it was it's hard which you say you wanted your body that look different what did you mean because there's never been a time where JLo haven't looked great I think yeah but I just wanted like a different look I just wanted I'd never lifted before I've never done stuff like that and not that I was trying to get like a bodybuilder type body but I just wanted it to be like you don't want to go up on stage and be other people be like what is she doing up there what is she doing up you know what I mean like energy sure you don't want yeah so I was just like I just need to be in a different kind of shape all these girls are gonna be in their 20s and I want to look like I'm in my twenties as well have you met yourself I just wanted to make sure Security's about your body I've always loved my body and my mother raised me that way too because everybody in my family had like a big but it wasn't it wasn't a weird thing like when you get around like thin people like that we had curves that was okay but it was just like when you go out to Hollywood they just right away try to mold you into something different and I just wasn't willing to conform I was just like no this is who I am and that's what I got I think a lot of attention at the beginning cuz I was kind of so contrarian to what was out there at the time when I first got out there and I was vocal about it and and that's why I think people you know kind of even gravitated towards me in the beginning because I was very unapologetic about like this is who I am I'm Puerto Rican I'm from the raziel who say yeah I'm worried I'm from the Bronx I have this kind of body you know so could you doing a JLo story like good because you do have such an interesting background and just where you are today where you started off and I'm sorry these things about you we have no idea about even before you got on you have in color and everything is that something you've considered um you know it has come up I don't think it's the time yet I still have a lot more to do before my story's told I think mm-hmm but there's so much even before now yeah up to a certain point yeah fistfights in the Bronx the last place like this I don't think I think that's a super low low class like the women we are we're Queens we just we should carry ourselves in that way sounds good but you're from the Bronx that I can't by the way we filmed a scene the other day where we fought a little bit you know what I mean I can act there's a difference between how I movie how I act in real life who I ever realized have you and your sister have a jump someone me and my sister used to tear each other apart all three buddies Heather okay each other yeah boners like we weren't troublemakers fighters in the street like it wasn't like that did you think you would still look this way I 50 um I didn't really think about it I hope that I get late you know you know stay healthy and everything like that like anybody else I get and you see inspiration photos I mean different people and stuff like that you're like you could look good when you're 70 you look a little good way you know like you see you know remember that old picture I don't know in the gym the old man with the 6-pack did you ever see that picture like that was so much no he was he was like old man it was a photo that you saw on a lot of gyms like back in the day and that [ __ ] that used to inspire me so much I was like you know what you can get better mhm every day in some way every old man mentally emotionally with a small penis in their penis is there I'm like why do you work out yes damn no I don't have a tour coming up for your birthday I do have a tour coming up mm-hmm how are you guys to come we were let's I know you're like only going to like him come to my show that's right so when is the tour start the tour starts in June mm-hmm so and it goes through two months we're gonna do about I would say at the end of the day when these already started adding a couple of shows I said iBM is the last day that looks like that's the one to go to it'll be fun well that's our real birthday that's my Nana Alex's but mine is 24th he was 27 this is like the party tour the birthday tour mmm so that might be the one right there to Miami show there's this two or three shows down two shows right now I think they both Leo's yeah how does that work I'm it's hard yeah it's hard when the Leos come out and we're both so like bossy strong alphas like so it's like it the combining of that I think we have so much respect for each other because of that that it makes us like love each other more like you are a beast that what you love about this relationship the most I think I do I have never been with somebody who grinds in the way I do on that level where I'm like you're driving me crazy you need to slow down you need to stop never have I said that to anybody Wow because I work on a level that's you know fueled by such passion that I'm just it's never enough for me right but he's like that too that's why why he's one of the greatest of all time no I hate the bring up those numbers you did used to date mister can't stop won't stop did he know he was but I was I don't know we didn't we never lived together we never I was talking more about my like relationships where we lived together everything we were like boy vinegar over when we were little you know I feel like that was such a long time ago you know it's a different type of relationship did you see he commented on one of your posts yes yeah a rod check him immediately yes might he just so you guys know he wrote Alex after that in apologize yeah he was like I didn't mean anything I have nothing but respect for you guys I'm so happy for you guys and you know we were together so years ago it's just like we were kids you know you and a rock seemed very in love we like it looks like love when I see you we we love each other we do we have a lot of love and respect and admiration for each other and that is so nice and I also have never been with somebody who like lets me be the full shine shining JLo of myself and all the sides of me like that's that that makes me really happy because you always want something and he's like just go baby check did you know he no no no no he doesn't play he will respect that man it's gotta be tough though good I mean you still do you have to do you have to check this JLo I have to check in like you got to send good morning text for the kids call just I don't know I'm in the interview and I'll call them right back no my that's first my family comes first and when they call and they can't get me they're like where were you you know because they're used to me like be right there so but I love that I don't ever want to lose that with them with my kids or even with Alex in our relationship you know what I mean I want them to know that if they call I pick up I'm there if not there's a reason and by the way when I call pick up and do the same right you know and yes did you know he was gonna propose many did you know we had talked a little bit about it and and we had gone back and forth like where is this going what are we doing blah blah you know it's been a couple years but I didn't know he was gonna propose that weekend he was just like we should go away cuz we have so much work the rest of the year and we were like dabbling and January in February like setting everything up and doing everything as far as work is concerned but we knew like once I started hustlers for the rest of the euros like hustlers tour next movie Sunday Night Baseball Fox were like it just goes so we were like so I think he just like let's just go away he said it in January you said let's go away and let's just have a minute just the two of us before we start and I was like okay whether this fly that looked on Instagram it was so so amazing and afterwards I think the best part is I'm so happy it was almost like it was a weight lifter of it was like okay no not really doing this now right like we knew we were gonna be together but until you take that step you don't you know there's always a like well don't mess up but now it's like okay no matter what happens we're gonna work together you call a family first he told me he called my mom and my dad and talked to them and was just like just to get their blessing he said and then after that when before we like like he didn't tell by the way he didn't he didn't tell anybody he did all the way himself like he got the ring I was like who helped you somebody had to help you I was I gonna ask you about dating and his friends started hitting him up like I can't believe you didn't tell me no he did it all by himself yes and then you know beforehand like ever discussed it what kind of rings do you like nobody you know now that I think about it going up to it you know I have like rings and so he was like how many karats is that one what is that like he was asking questions like it was like settle yeah it's like trying to figure out like what I like gotcha yeah you had a hater right after your engagement though my hater yes tell me Jose Canseco yeah yeah I mean it doesn't matter I know what the truth is hmm I know I know who he is he knows who I am we're not we're just happy we're not gonna let like other people come and come out and tell us what our relationship is I know what our relationship is right you know what JLo gotta go so I want you to introdu I have to go okay nice conversation question the Motown tribute okay cuz you received backlash yeah yeah yeah and in hindsight do you think you should have declined that offer no I think it was the right thing to do you know and it's funny because when it was so fires me and but at the same time it didn't and I was like okay so what are you doing this do you back down and just let like people who are bullying you online make you not do something that you were gonna do and that you want to do and that you love or or what and what does that save my kids were in the car when we got the call like mommy why don't they why you do it what's going on but and I just I was like from MIT I was gonna drop out and I was just like and I spoke to the producers and I spoke to Berry Gordy and us but you know we know you've been he knows everybody and spoke to Stevie Wonder you know he's fun and we were like what he's in there like smokey please do it just do it Motown music was for everybody we made music for everybody and that you were inspired by that and you know all these songs and you know Barry's been to my show and he loves me as a performer and he was like I can't think of anybody that I would want to have do it I love the way you perform this is a man who's so happy when he heard I was doing it was just amazing I was just like okay I can it be easy for me to drop out one less thing to do right trust me I was busy at the time but afterwards I felt like I told my kids when I said I'm going I'm gonna go do it they smile they looked at me they smiled at me like good mommy like you didn't let them like let you back down bully don't push you around in it I think it was an important lesson for that reason alone and I had a great time doing it and we celebrated afterwards and we brought down the house that night it was in in the room it was it was magic it was magic and it's like part of the fear of going out there was over you know was kind of overcome but also validated by how people in just enjoy music and dancing and performing and it we all should be united in that way gotcha introduce the whole thing alright [Music] medicine it's not talking about we well we appreciate you for joining us thank you ladies and it's The Breakfast Club [Music]
