did the thing you know when you shake the card of here tripping around I already know there's no gift card in here because I already did one gift card oh really no gift card there's a card I don't know this is beautiful and it's handwritten you know what I'm saying like and I and I gotta really thank you for this because as I look around the neighborhood um I don't know who else got me flowers uh that day when I got my uh award when I got my star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame um yeah so thank you for being one of one you know Amanda deserve flowers too thank you so much I'm gonna leave these right here all right and you don't mind I'm gonna take them home to my wife and be like here you go honey one day you'll be like hey Veronica you know those flowers are from us you know but welcome back to the neighborhood thank you man a lot to talk about especially you know we've had a chance to see you grow Shine the accolades the nominations you know what I'm saying and now you back to doing what you enjoy and that is music absolutely you know what I'm saying so so what as we're sitting down here today what is the project like what was the final the final that you named the project so I have a project dropping tonight it's called the single life yeah you know six piece okay so you got an EP single life six pack so why why the six pack because I just I took a year off and I don't want to just throw out you know my debut album I want to heat you know heat back up in the game again so this oh really so this isn't the album and when you say heat back up in the game again for one it was already hot as Fish Grease what makes you say you know I need to put this put this out there because a lot of artists won't do that where they say not test the waters but let me put it on something out there before we call this the debut album why the single life to eat the the six pack well I appreciate that but you know I do feel like it did get a little quiet for me the music space this past year but I took a year off for like real artist development I know that people have heard that before but it's just like I love my art and I love my music so because I took a year off I want to warm the world back up again really though and why you say like real artist development because you you know how some people like man I already I'm gone I mean some people are born with it and some people are not so I had to work on it and I'm it's okay to admit that sometimes that's crazy as hell because you would think on the outside looking in like single after single live performances some people don't sit themselves down well by the grace of God I had you know my type best friend back yeah um but all of those were like spot recorded like I never recorded like straight in the studio for like more than a week I recorded in the studio for a year straight so it feels more like me you know instead of just like spot recording and you know being a new artist on social media we just get thrown into it yeah it's just kind of like if you go viral today you on a big stage next week because your song is hot so it's like I had to sit I had to set my ass down real quick but you and but coming back to us so we a lot of people won't say you know what let me hone this craft let me step back let me do this you know some people but but I think also taking a couple steps back and then moving forward like putting your feet down you get a better foundation for where you want to go you know what I'm saying and I think that's I feel like that's what you're doing as well you know so when you sit down and you got the six-pack the single life how do you know now you know what I'm saying because now there is a success do you is it more of a pressure now that there is a success honestly it was hella crazy I don't know if it's because my name is Diamante and Diamante or Diamante shout out to my Spanish girls hello but it means it means diamond and I've always worked hella like Good Under Pressure like in sports and you know in school and now in music so it's like with the pressure I feel like it made me record even better really though and when you say sports you did Sports school did you go where did you go USC USD but you know what but that like you're so well accomplished so you look at this as well it's like okay you know what I'm saying like that that diamond I'm gonna go ahead and do that in my music career as well because this right here this is what sets you up for Life absolutely yeah but even with and I I don't mean to keep going back to the year but even with the business and we talk about the business so we do and we see everybody on social media it's like you're here today you're gone tonight your album is whacked before it even comes out you know what I'm saying so yeah but not but that's what people are like they're not kind you know what I'm saying so at any point when you're doing that year of work and making sure that you own in your craft do you ever think about like like man are people going to not let me back in but how do I get that crease back in because like with me I say they seemed like you didn't stop you know but did you as personally think about that well for me like I'm done making microwave music it was time for me to like bake my [ __ ] I heard that marinate yes put it in the oven yeah you know 350. you're making me hungry but I don't know what you're talking about I'm not understanding the analogy you know my Thanksgiving food hello um but sometimes you really just gotta self-reflect and I I feel like I've been through so much in my career and I love music and if I'm gonna do it I need to do it right so that's why I sat myself down like I was still in a gym it was just a private gym but now I'm gonna get back in the game hello let me now when when you go to do that when do you know that you have the music that you want to present back to us like for one if we got six on the single life a six-pack how many do you record before you pick that six well I recorded hella music yeah but I just think think that as artists we have to be sensitive to the times especially in where we're at in our career and because I'm a single woman like I'm just speaking my truth through my experiences that I've encountered as a single woman so it's like it just makes sense for me you know yeah you're single by choice yeah yeah you know what I'm saying yeah people are just single because no you are absolutely you're probably looking around she was like but B you're married she's like how'd that happen but go ahead no you know what it is right there's a lot of things that I learned this year and I had to like dating can be a distraction so I had to stop and I had to just you know go to the studio yeah and you got to think you lived uh pretty much a lot of life before you get into this Limelight before you get into this big stage in this Arena you know and now everything now is people are got to be in your business everybody want to know more everybody's so fake so-called interested in what's going on how do you keep your private private or is that harder for you now or have it has it gotten easier honestly I'm about to get back into like social media because I really took a year off I probably posted like here and there because I have brand deals but I literally took a year off from social media and for music so it's like I feel like I'm about to get back into the games how good did that feel I'm not looking because I've been off social media since July and I feel amazing but I feel like damn I got to get back in too because you gotta you gotta you gotta play with it enough absolutely how did that feel for you being off for a year um I felt like I was missing out I feel like you know when you got to finish homework and the kids is outside yes can you look it from the window like hey you know you know something going on yeah hell yeah yeah cause I'm a summer girl my birthday in the summer I always have like a song that's going for The Vibes and it's just the fact that I didn't release a song this summer it crushed me like I was so mad but my team was like keep working just keep working hell yeah especially when you know what you're working for you never just grabbed like a hairbrush and put on one of the old wardrobe outfits and just performed in the mirror hey man and speaking of wardrobe this is something that we talk about when you're not here sweetie and we said all the time man and we did the festival in Las Vegas and your wardrobe didn't come and you didn't bring that up to the crowd like I'm backstage and I didn't see you going off or anything you know what I'm saying and I tell people the same story you got up on that stage in some like furry slippers some jeans and killed it you know what I'm saying like and even then and I still wanted to announce to the crowd like yo man like she didn't have to do this you know what I'm saying and you came out and did it anyway what is that what's that connection that you do have not with just performing but the crowd to where you say you know what these people did come to see me um well I do disagree with you because I feel like I had to do it I had to do it because I respect I heart right and I respect my fans and like it's not about my outfit it's about the music yeah so that's why when I did it not yeah but I did it for y'all really though yeah for I heart and for the fans because it's like if y'all expecting something I gotta deliver it I'm a good businesswoman I'm gonna always hold my word but I don't even recall because I was standing on the side watching the show I don't even recall you said yeah these [ __ ] made me come out here and do it [ __ ] you man you didn't even say [ __ ] the fans no I'm out here for y'all no I was in my dressing room and they was like your outfit not gonna make it and I was like [ __ ] it let's just go I heard that and they was like we can try to reschedule you know it's no problem problem I said no I'm gonna go hit that stage hey man let me tell you to keep it real with you too I gotta split in my pants right now you know in the neighborhood of my witness you know you know this is my witness but I was like nah man I gotta do this [ __ ] for sweetie you know what I'm saying I could have left you know what I'm saying but I was like nah man like let me go ahead hey rip your pants you want to know yeah can you imagine you're trying to make some rent money let me tell you man for one there's some cheap ass pants I shouldn't even wear it anyway I'm Gonna Keep It Real I'm Gonna Keep It Real they them uh them Champs uh CC whatever G pants that you get one for free oh my God yeah so so for real you know what I'm saying after two watches as soon as you put them back in water they're gonna disintegrate anyway I shouldn't even warm anyway I could have lied this at all this long meat was trying to get out there but who gonna believe that you know what I'm saying who gonna believe that then I gotta go home and face my wife she'll be like you lying on there again it's a single life the app well the six pack why the single life has a title and you know everybody's gonna ask you this question because I'm a single woman really like for real for real I'm hella single really all right so hella single and letting it be known out there you know what I'm saying and people people you know they care about your relationships you know what I'm saying and I do have I want to just hit like because because for one I mean I'm gonna

you know fine pray I don't know what you use for yourself you know what I'm saying I have some in my head but I don't want to scare you but when it comes to like being single I want to do higher lower with you and just how many artists not even guys that think they have a chance in the audience how many of your peers that's a celebrity thought that they could get at you higher lower three higher lower five honest higher I know what the Jack Harlow shoot a shot oh yeah yeah Nick Cannon was like oh I need baby number 13. McKinney did do that Nick Cannon who else hit makeup you know what I'm saying uh you know Soldier Boy Soldier Boy was the first one to try to get at you that's what he gonna say you know because he was the first to do everything so we're over 10 honestly I lost count and you can count high because you got you got degrees has there ever been one that's like surprising but I just take it like it I don't I don't know I feel like if it's not in person I can't take it seriously so it's more DM it's more of a DM or if it's like how do they do it like hey or it's like teams reaching out like they'll be like trying to get in contact with me through my team or like through somebody that's close to me and I'm going to tell you straight up sweetie I don't like putting numbers on anything I don't celebrate like anniversaries and everything but I've been in radio going on 29 years to this day I haven't had one celebrity that tried to get at me for real yeah you know what I'm saying yeah boy my ass but you already see and you can recognize the game when it was it the Game the rapper too no it's funny but but you recognize the game like okay I know I know where this is going you know so and single by choice how long is this gonna happen and how are you gonna find someone uh someone gonna find me they trying to you keep ignoring the DMS you know but I'm just like you gotta catch me like in person I need to feel that energy you know that's crazy I'm big on energy really though yeah I'm attract I'm more so attracted to like energy than looks okay I'm glad you said that because I give a lot of dudes hope out there yeah [Music] would you date a non-celebrity yeah I mean you had before right yeah really I have a homeboy named Frank now he don't have no teeth he been through some hard times but he don't even do that part of it he don't do that no more you know what I'm saying when I'm gonna do a frame yeah that is true yeah well you can introduce to your dad and your dad can you watch a football game together you know what I'm saying do you worry about finding a relationship or finding love or you just in work mode right now honestly like I'm a cancer so what's your birthday July 2nd okay July 2nd you July five okay now hello my brother mom's July 30th so I've always been in relationships since I was in Middle School so right now I'm really just enjoying my time to myself really though so what happens if you just like okay the New Year we're at cuddle season is getting cold you know what I'm saying like what about the the what is the cuddy buddy cuddy buddy yeah um you know I'm sure you don't want to talk to friends it's not cold yet oh yeah and what about for the holidays what you got planned for the holidays I'm gonna go see my family really though really so you go back home yeah I'm gonna go back home yeah do you cook so we I love to cook I heard that yes during quarantine I was hooking it up from scratch really though yeah did you do a quarantine 15 did you put on any weight during the quarantine actually I did I put on 10 pounds really though yeah but I've been working out so I think I lost some of it I heard that did you eat your sweetie meal from McDonald's all the time I heard could you walk up and get it for free or did you have cards you know I pay because you know sweetie you probably don't know this do you know I used to weigh over 500 pounds so I Marvel people that have these relationships with these restaurants you know what I'm saying that that's bigger than that you know that's that's bigger than a Grammy nomination to me so so how does that work of course you get the check uh-huh and then your meal for McDonald's was what because you had like a collage of stuff uh-huh what was it it was the sweet email and but what do they consist of because you should start throwing stuff together no it consisted of it was a burger and some nuggets and some fries and then after that they came out with a secret menu that was inspired by my concoctions go ahead yeah and see the concoctions were the ones that I was talking about yeah so when you do that not aside from the check but you get free food and do you have a card um I would just pay for it and then he was like Hey man let me tell you it's obvious you don't have kids no because when you get kids that's when you start trying to get everything from oh you know what I'm saying yeah man and I would even double back on the sawiti meal because my kids would be like especially my daughter and I do the like oh y'all forgot to put the fries in here then we go back get extra fries you know what I'm saying you gotta know you got to know your game you know you from the bay right yeah you probably got more game than anybody in here are you from Chicago so what's up really I'm from L.A I was born in Illinois yeah yeah stop reading my bio Natalia I know that the big focus is the music but I love getting to see you like on grown-ish and I want to know are you are there any plans for you to continue into acting doing more they're already things set up absolutely I've been in some acting classes so how's that been for you um it's different you know I think it's different than music and it's like you have to tap into a different level of like character with act with acting because it's not you it's something else so I I like appreciate the challenge looking forward just like you know when you talk about like manifesting things if you can manifest a role or some type of like character what would you love to ultimately do I want to be a superhero I can see myself being like I love Harley Quinn but they just did her so like poison ivy because I love my plants I can see that and you know what I love about it too is you say you take an acting classes you know what I'm saying like like really trying to perfect and be true to the art as opposed to saying you know I'm sweetie and other things are just coming I could do walk-on rolls you know so go ahead and do that and when you're doing that let it be known that we trying to find some acting gigs too bring the homies in what you trying to do neighborhood oh my God you got a couple guest appearances you really have been reading my bio good Lord if you say my ex name I'm walking out of here I'm gonna tell you straight up well I don't want to seem like a stalker yeah yeah I would love to know she knows I know man good Lord have mercy why she be like man look at that she's gonna be like sorry about your brother Keith you know what I'm saying sorry about that I believe that all righty she's like how's Twilight yeah Twilight is my little doggie yeah yeah did you did you read that too look Kurt [Laughter] all right uh sweetie damn that's kind of scary hey dude I'm going out on it she got a crush on me I know who my friends are I am married and I'm going to tell you straight up you are getting none of this you know what I'm saying don't put me if you know what I'm saying hey don't throw up are you throwing up that's why people can't be nice these days I just wanted to know who my friend was really though hey man what about Roddy Rich do you think when Roddy was at the yard at the game people started saying that you and Roddy Richard were dating Roddy Rich came in he said it wasn't true all right you seem like you're gonna keep it real what was the relationship with you and Roddy bridge I think like the most unfortunate thing about like being a woman if you sit next to like someone who whether they're in music Sports if they're another public figure it's like you're automatically people automatically assume that y'all are dating right and I wasn't dating him like I didn't even like I literally pulled up I didn't realize he was next to me like I literally just sat down and just got to my seats and that right there I don't want to blame you because the way the public took it but you shouldn't have those good seats y'all she needs to sit on the floor but I feel like people gotta start like reading the room in the video like I came hella tomboyed out what's up like a hoodie like if I'm going with my boo I'ma come you know but so we show people hello people don't care about that because people want to make up nowadays people want to make up their own narrative everybody want to make up their own story everybody want to make up their own click bait fake news yeah and that's just where we are right now you know what I'm saying do you ever get tired of of that of I mean yeah but I think now I just feel like it comes with the territory like I like I could be mad but at the same time this is what I signed up for so I think it just it's just up to me to develop like my mental toughness and like the discipline to not feed into it yeah and I always trip when others say that's what you signed up for because to me it's not you know what I'm saying it is what it is but and some people even you say that to you you know you sitting down whatever I don't know what your preference is on you know when you take pictures and so on and so forth but you could literally be sitting down and maybe that's not the time that you want to take a picture but then somebody would tell you this is what you signed up for I do feel like though as a celebrity especially an artist because we impact people so much with our music I feel like me personally I do feel like it's my duty my only off limits is if I'm eating don't bother me right where you get that from well if I'm eating don't bother me I just love food right here that's my Sacred Space amen because I hear that one a lot too and I feel like that one just like the domino theory that other people say that as well and then like I told you I was over 500 pounds so I was eating all the time so I just had to adapt to like hey just take the picture you know what I'm saying because I wasn't gonna I wasn't gonna stop you know so go go ahead and take go ahead and take the picture what's the relationship with Cher oh my gosh I love her that's cool she's like a big sister a big mama like she's just oh my She's Everything an icon can be like always giving me game checking up on me like how did that start and she feels hella young yeah I do like she feel hella young she like even when she be texting I'm like oh this is a fly [ __ ] right yeah two nice shoes she don't say the N word in text does she hell no okay just I didn't know I didn't know how comfortable she was with you I didn't know how does that start with with share that campaign yeah I had a uh a deal with Mac in my first segment um it was with Cher and so she didn't just leave it on the set or leave it like oh we're just doing something I went over to a house we had dinner and she's just everything that is crazy though do you ever trip off of like the people that do know you now what you mean like like a Cher knows sweetie you know how to at one point like that the you you rapping J Cole you know what I'm saying and now J Cole know you do you ever trip off of like the celebrities that do know you honestly I just I don't know if celebrity will ever hit me right only because I just still feel like a regular girl um and keep that feeling keep that feeling do you do you enjoy your fan base um yeah I do because I think I feel like fan bases are a reflection of the artist and my fan base I mean they do being a little crazy sometimes sometimes I gotta DM them and I like baby calm down like and just like how either defending you or just doing too much just you're not doing too much like I don't like when my fan bases talk about another artist right yeah I think it just creates unnecessary drama um and I do have that type of relationship with my fans like we DM each other it's constant communication but I do love them because I've been gone for a year and they'll just randomly send me like love messages and I appreciate that and so so you're back on social media now yeah officially since like two days ago did you come in full or you slowly working your way back up I'm slowly working my way back did you do the unfollow everyone too I did that I did that a year ago but now I'm following people back yeah see I unfollowed everybody it was crazy is some people took that personal yeah I feel like you could take it personal if I decide to follow like 50 people right I think that when people go down to zero that's a mental health check yeah man like that's what when I see that that's what rings a bell for me yeah see I I tapped out I was done I went and did some great uh work in July but people started hitting my home boy like man it's big mad at me like nah bro no I'm trying to be happy at me right I ain't mad at you family and I wanted to focus on myself I wanted when I was creating my music I didn't want to be influenced by my subconscious because what people don't realize is our subconscious tracks everything and it can influence our conscience so it's like when I'm creating my music I don't want to accidentally get inspiration from somebody else who's in my Lane so I unfollowed everybody so that everything that I was creating was just a fresh palette yeah I ain't mad at you yeah and my thing too I was just I was done I was just like man it's too much I'm done and I wasn't heavy heavy heavy on social media I was heavy on social media oh so yours is more like a detox too though a digital detox it was a detox and so now you back what's your first post that you put up I'm gonna post my oh you haven't even posted yet not on my Instagram oh wow so what are you going to put up my cover art for the single life really though have we seen the cover art for the same time I saw the one with like um the sword yes yes and like the wings yeah it's very symbolic to me and why you say very symbolic to you so the sword so I got the sword I got the a jaguar on the outfit and then I got the butterfly the butterfly is like a metamorphosis of sweetie I feel like I've learned so much from the game that it's time for me to just spread my wings and do my thing I'm a Jaguar I love Jaguars because I feel like I'm an alpha female I travel alone I work alone and that's what Jaguars do they don't travel in packs and then the sword is to symbolize like Fresh Starts making the right decision elevation and just all these positive things that I feel like I put into my music do you ever feel like you're too smart for the room [Music] for one you rather than Louie's brain over here yeah everything yeah and I'm over here like man all right like you know I like I speak for a living but I know how to like keep my thing like hey you know what I'm saying like that you've been saying some words you know what I put my phone I'm over here writing up I'm over here writing stuff down spelling it phonetically like let me check and see what this means you know my first team told me that my first ever team that I ever had was telling me that I rap too smart wow how did you respond um because I I really struggled with work in I mean with writing like I struggled with writing like radio songs right because when I was freestyling I just like write out all my thoughts but like someone sat me down and was like you need to simplify it so I just think that where my career has gone it went from being like super me to like to like watering it down a little bit so people like to that big my perception even though this is who I really am but now I feel like I'm back to where I'm at but now there's a balance right you know because you have to give music to people that's digestible I I had to recognize that hey and and with don't say nothing right uh that could that I think that could be the next people Anthem don't say nothing how do you and we had this conversation about how do you find the next person but how do you protect where you you do tell somebody you know don't say nothing you know I have I have and they still did oh okay all right yeah don't say nothing I know I gotta say this one yeah so it's just like you're really just honestly I feel like if you deal with somebody you got to think worst case scenario are you going to be proud to know that are you going to be okay with knowing that other people know that you deal with them because at this point like men just get excited I feel like they do yeah sorry about that but I can't be mad at that yeah yeah when you put that in their mouths don't say nothing huh I do have to ask you we've been we've been sitting here we've been you know having a good time with you but with the recently losing takeoff and as close as you were of course with you and with cuevo and the relationship as far as you know that that becomes a friendship a kinship a homie ship have you reached out or have you had any dialogue with quavo since takeoff pass you just I haven't had any dialogue really though but I did say my prayers for them yeah I did like have my moment of silence um it's so unfortunate I don't want to talk about it too much because it doesn't make me feel away you know my heart goes out to their family and it was just really unfortunate yeah man I think it was very um surreal when it happened and I wanted to like you know disrespect boundaries because of you know other stuff that was swirling in the air but um right right I definitely talked to God about it and I just you know my condolences goes out to them yeah man and we even would take that's another one of those where you like I know where I was at I know how I got the information do you remember where you were I know exactly I was literally about to get up to go come to work and I remember I felt the vibration and usually late night vibrations is something's wrong with the show those kind of things right yeah and so then when I opened it up I saw that takeoff was murdered I thought that it was fake news yeah and you hope and wished and I yeah I was like they crazy for this like people need to like quit playing around with social media like quit playing with people's lives because you know you've seen other people trending they weren't passed away I've seen it yeah so I thought it was fake news yeah man and then and that was another thing where I was like okay well the person that I heard it from I knew that they would be spot on because they wouldn't do that that early in the morning you know or overnight and then you know and then you go you then you start you start to Google you see the TMZ's and and I'm I'm like this man I'm at an age now sweetie where I want to see people I want to see people get their gray hair you know what I'm saying I want to see these dudes get get get everything and it seemed like we're just starting to see so many more I come from when you know passed on was like POC and Biggie that was like our past on rappers then big big L Big Pun Easy E and not from all all from violence right you know and now we look up man and I just really want these P you know these younger brothers and not even the ones that's in the business just to continue to take care of each other you know what I'm saying because the hashtag the flowers and everything man you know not get say it's getting old is such a cliche but yeah it's it's really starting to get older we really got to continue to take care of each other I think that is a sign that we need to raise the vibration of the earth spreading more love you know and I think that it starts intrinsically and then it eventually like will spread but when I did heard that note and I heard heard that news um I didn't believe it yeah yeah man I'm gonna leave it there with you Queen Annie what you got I love her nails yeah man it's like Legos yeah if you're gummy bears they feel like it's on there how long does it take to get your nails done how often do you feel like you change it up girl eight hours oh Jesus sorry my lip gloss just failed oh don't worry about it all right there we go hello oh because

that is a beautiful story but I took everything like quarters to 20s to like anything man I would have definitely came out and kicked in oh thank you yeah man that's a beautiful story man she hates scary movies I so I don't like paranormal movies I believe in spirits I believe them can jump through the screen really no have you ever had one of those moments cause I know I have no yeah ever since I was a little girl I've had paranormal experiences explain one or explain I don't know what we would think I'm crazy amen anybody that say they think you I think everyone has had an experience and I'll share mine okay so I and I'll just give you one years ago when I was 12 years old you know we were going through something and we were homeless so we were living with another family right and my brother Mouse and I we were laying in uh in the back in like a den area but it was on like a tile like linoleum floor we just put like the you know blankets out there and we just they that's what we slept at and so we just started hearing things hearing things you know what I'm saying and I remember I was asleep and I heard like bare feet walking past my head like if you were Barefoot on like a tile like a linoleum floor I heard the slapping of the feet 12 years of age I didn't open up my eyes and look immediately and then when I did sawiti opened up my eyes I looked at the curtain and there was a face of a man with like kind of a thin face and he had like a like like kind of like a derby hats on and so forth but I could see this man and so the next morning I told my brother what was going on he was like man he said Kurt when I was asleep I was hearing things too we didn't hear share it together until we woke up the next morning then when I told the family we were living with I just seen them they start crying and it was like our dad you described her dad our dad had a thin face her dad had to you know he would wear his hat all the time it was a friendly experience it was It was friendly that one was friendly then another time you know how when you're doing like the water jug when you put a five gallon of water yeah and when it gets that Ergo yeah I remember one time dude I was I heard the I heard this and they say he used to love to get water from out of that that uh so it was a good example you had bad ones oh yeah that's why he's slow on yours no so like I don't know how I was set up to be this involved with the spiritual world so for one like the apartment I grew up in had a lot of Paranormal Activity um when I go to sleep at night if I'm not sleeping next to somebody I have to play gospel I have to play gospel music to this day to this day or I'll get attacked like that sweet paralysis like I'll get that but I get that every time if I don't play gospel music when I sleep that's wow um so you always gotta make sure Road whatever like for you if I'm by myself yes I have to play it because I'll get it like I don't know what that's called and I gotta do more research but and when you say a text Sweetie what do you mean like in my dream right you know you can't wait yeah yeah and you feel like somebody's sitting on top of you yes man it's real and especially when I started like meditating more I felt like the stronger I became spiritually the more I started getting attacked yeah and like these experiences have always happened to me like since since I was a kid you know and I think like my craziest experience so me and my homegirl it was like the summer I was like 14 or 15. and we up you know gossiping talking [ __ ] laying down and like my my room hot summer night she goes to the bathroom and I'm laying down on my bed I feel something hella big start walking on top of me I'm wide awake wow but you can feel it you know like I'm I could feel it it's like walking on top of me but I already know what time it is because I grew up in like a like I just know what time it is because I've been experiencing this type of stuff since I was a kid and I started like crying and I'm like because I just know what's happening and a voice goes shut up and you know that 100 deep ass like a deep ass voice it says shut up and I just thought like I just feel so uh could you moved in even when you were awake I was like I froze but I didn't freeze because I couldn't move I froze out of fear but ever since then like I told my grandma and you know I say Jesus every time I start praying you know um because that's my way of fighting back you can't just say stop you have to say you know the name of God in the name of Jesus because that's that's the person who's gonna protect you but it's like those experiences like it's crazy when you different when you're dealing with two different Rogues at one time because not everybody knows what it feels like to have a paranormal experience and especially like that and continuous and no matter where you go you know how some some places it's tied to a place you know I remember sweetie when my mom passed right I remember I was laying in the bed and I wasn't asleep I wasn't asleep I believe you and I remember I felt you know know where like when somebody's on the bed and they get off yeah and you can feel the weight shift yes I felt the weight shift right and not that it was rocking me but I felt the weight shifts I felt the mattress move and then when I looked up I literally saw visually saw my mom walking out the room and at that time I was like Mom I really you know this is beautiful but I really just kind of like passed I was like I really can't handle this right now you know what I'm saying it was beautiful but I knew I couldn't handle I was I was in so many different directions but I understand what you're saying one and especially if yours is moving around have you had have you tested it where you say I'm not gonna play the gospel music tonight just to make sure that it was that oh no I don't play yeah when I do because sometimes if I have to make a decision I'm gonna put that gospel music on yeah cause I just every time I don't sleep with it it happens to me every time every time it's like the gospel of music is my protection I heard that man I'm done with for real for real you talked earlier about you know being a new artist sometimes you guys get thrust into this world so fast but if you could go back to all of the amazing experiences that you had up until this point just to relive it one more time because it happened so fast is there one that really sticks out that you'd want to um the icy go era but I think I was thrown into it so quick and I was judged so quick that I didn't really get to enjoy anything like I was constantly like just being talked about like and not in a positive light and I don't think I I wasn't strong enough to deal with that Limelight yet especially when it was like not in my favor so a lot of times I was depressed so it's like when I hear things like that I'm like damn the some parts of the world or some people thought I was popping but internally like I was constantly criticized so I didn't I haven't enjoyed anything until now and since now I'm like I Know Myself and I know what I bring to the table yeah yeah you know your worth yes we know it and that's that's hard too though you know what I'm saying because it's so easy sometimes you know and even when you pep talk yourself like now you better than that you sometimes it's even hard to believe that you know so when you can step back and start sort of work on yourself and and kind of close out the Clutter because that cluttering those voices and all that negativity that stuff can be extremely loud especially if the person don't know you and you can't talk to everyone and you you can't defend yourself or you can't tell you anyone I'm a good person it's like man so you just get to the point where it's like you know what I can't worry about it exactly yeah I can't get up in my whole day is the fight of me defending myself or the whole day is the fight of me trying to prove somebody wrong you know so I just stopped you know what I'm saying I just thought what happened to you too I mean it happens in doses for one I'm not really hard on social media but it'd be something where it's always it's you know and it does even the small stuff I'm like oh man they don't know me but they're not it's like yeah but the part that would get me was like the think pieces that would go viral and it's just like yeah yeah that's why I say it doesn't come with the job you know what I'm saying but I feel like I feel like nowadays with social media it it shouldn't come with it but it's not it's not written in but it just so happens to come with it right right so like my heart goes out to all artists like every time I see an artist trending for a bad reason I just pray for him yeah what about when you see people that's just coming into the game as well that's still fairly new and you're like oh here it come I mean like I said I just pray for them and we have our new girls like glorillas my baby I spy shout out to her um you know I see the good and the bad but I just try to send good energy because like sometimes a lot of us aren't prepared for that light to go from here to like what's up yeah and I get the same thing too with like my son my son plays basketball and my daughter and I just got to tell him you know my daughter she dances she does certain things and I just gotta tell them like you know do you ever read it I ask him do you ever read anything that's unfavorable and my son like yeah you know that and I think he can handle some of it and I'll talk to him about it but my daughter is the one that I'm really like talked to Dad understand who you you know what I'm saying because you're gonna talk to the girl so I feel like as a man they'll come for like your talent for like external things that that happened but as a woman they'll come for like your shape what you're doing who you're talking to yeah how you walked how you look this way so it's just like I feel like the comments that are that are focused towards women in a negative way it's just like it's more intense yeah no arguments here big boys
