Speaker 1 (04:47):
Let us sits. So you grew up in this beautiful
two parent household in Detroit.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, well okay, let me just break it all down
from the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yes, please.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Basically, both of my parents are from like one of
the worst arts in Detroit, right mom, I'm from Brama
as well, but I moved out of there, like they
we moved by the time. Like all I remember really
is our new home. But like everyone thinks like, oh,
they left the hood and they're like in this glamorized
(05:19):
neighborhood whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It was not like that.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
We just got into like a little better, a little
better situation, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So yeah, so we just lived life. Everyone was just.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I guess I'm gonna just call it normal because like
that's all I know.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Like it was just normal.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
But like everyone's like, oh, you you got out of
the hood and like you're rich and all of this.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Like no, like we were.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Still like struggling, Like what were your parents doing for work.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
My mom was a nail tech.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Oh no, she didn't do that, but she my nails
like since I was younger, Like I was freaking four
years old with like my nails and toes all stoned out,
like my mom. Really, I got to show you some
of her way because you see my nails when.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I walked in. I gotta show you, Okay, But yeah,
so she did.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Nails and she was really the one that was putting
food on the table.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I was about to say, what'd your dad do?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, he was just I guess you would call it
like a stead home dad.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, okay, but like he would just.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Take care of the whole family because like my grandma
was sick, just like taking care of my younger sibling.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Like that's basically what he did.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Like he's really he's really like Superman for real, because
like me and my mom fast forward, me and my
mom had to like go on the road for my career,
and she just dropped her career for me.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like, so before we get into that, how old were
you when you started showing signs of this is what
I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I was five.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You were five? And where did this influence come from?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
My parents would like just play music around me all
the time.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So I grew up listening to music all different types, okay,
Like and it's crazy, like my dad listens to country music,
or he'll listen to like hip hop or like pop,
and then my mom listened to like Biggie and Tupac
and freaking bob Ce. Like it was like a variety
of all different sounds me growing up. So like, you
(07:24):
play any song right now, I'm probably gonna know it, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
But yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Then they would like play around in the studio because
they had like friends who did music and stuff like that.
They would play around and like make their own songs
just to listen to themselves. Like they didn't want to
become like no big time rapper, but so they would
just make songs and listen to themselves. And then I
had ended up doing a talent show in elementary school.
(07:48):
I was in kindergarten, and so they like wrote me
a rap for me to do, and I did the
talent show and everybody in the audience was like just
screaming my name because like there was a part of
the song and I'm like rock with Brook or something.
I don't remember the song but everyone had to like
chant my name. And once I heard that and I
(08:09):
was on that stage, like that was the moment that
I knew, like I need to be on a stage
for the rest of my life, Like I need to
be doing this. I love entertaining people, whether it's like
me making music or me dancing or acting or anything
or just being funny, Like I just love entertaining people.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Okay, So they start to see at five and in
elementary school that well, I'm sure they were in the
audience when that happened, right, Did they have that epiphany too,
that something was magical just happened.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I mean my mom always tells me, like, I know
you're gonna be a star. That's why my name's you, Brooklyn,
and I'm just like, okay, girl. But yeah, so she
said she always knew that I was going to be
doing something like entertainment wise, and that's what I do.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So then what's the next steps from you being experiencing that?
Are you starting to have conversation with your parents about
what you want to be when you grow up? Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
No, it was basically just like my mom would have
me rap in on like Instagram and stuff, okay, or
like Facebook, I.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Guess on her page. And then I had actually made
a real song when I was eight. She was like,
you want to go to the studio, and I'm like, yeah,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So I go to studio and I make my first
song and I don't even remember what the song was.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oh I do remember.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Actually there's a group from Detroit called Doughboy's cash Out
and my uncle was in the group and they had
like one of the biggest songs in Detroit and it's
called Goodass Day. And I remade it for my eighth
birthday party so I can perform at my own birthday party.
And so I make the song or whatever, and that
(09:50):
was like the first song that I had made.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Actually in the studio.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
So then fast forward, that's like I make a few
other songs whatever, and then I get with the label
and because my mom like.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Did the.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Label CEO's wife's Nails, So I get with the label
or whatever, and they just invited me out to Florida
because like they were working with other artists or whatever,
and they're like, yeah, you can come and like see
what it is to be in the studio stuff like that.
So we go and I was just there like, Okay,
(10:25):
this is fun, like seeing other people work in the studio,
you know, like just get in the field of everything.
And so one of the artists were like fucking up
in the studio, like they just wanted to you know
what the rap game is that like old show?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Oh yeah, I think like all the kids.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
So he wanted to just stop working in the studio
because one of the episodes came out and he just
wanted to watch the show. And so they were like, okay,
you can go home and watch the show.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And they called me.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Well, they called my mom and it was like two
in the morning, right, and I'm sleep and they're like this, Brook,
I want to come to the studio and make a song.
And this is I'm like eleven at the time. This
is like fast forward, and so my mom's like, well,
she's sleep, it's two in the morning, Like what do
you mean. So then they're like just ask her if
(11:14):
she wants to come. So she wakes me up and
she's like you want to go to the studio and
I'm like yeah, like what, like of course I want
to go to the studio.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So I go to the studio and that's when I make.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Like what great, are you in when you're eleven like
I was.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
In the sixth grade? Yeah, so mind you, I was
still in school at the time and had to end
up leaving school after all of this.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
But so I go into the studio and that's when
I make my first hit song.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What does your dad say when your mom's like, hey,
we're going to the studio to in the morning. Is
this while you're in Florida?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But yeah, this is It's like.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
My dad really just wants to see me live my
dream and be successful, you know what I mean. Like
even though it's like I don't know anyone to this
day who's husband would let their wife go with their
daughter and just travel the world for.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, however long you know. Yeah, Like I don't think
that's a normal thing that people do. So yeah, so
we're in Florida.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I go make my first hit song and that was
called Kiki Taught Me And it's over like seventy million
views now well probably more.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I haven't checked it in a minute.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
But one thing, you're still getting paid off that, or
you're getting paid off that or what you know, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
This is this is when we get into ups and downs. Oh,
this is when we get to ups and downs. So
I make that song and make a few other songs.
They all went viral over millions of views, and then.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
My mom asked me.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
She's like, is this what you want to do for
the rest of your life? Like studio at two in
the morning and like all of this, And I'm like, yeah,
Like what.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Do you mean? Is this what I want to do
for the rest of my life?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Of course, because it's something I love, Like I love
making music and it's just fun to me. It doesn't
feel like a job because it's just fun. Okay, we're
about to add in the season.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Go ahead, girl. So she asked you this while you're
in Florida, like, hey, is this the life you want?
And you're like, hell yeah. Now at the time, you're
around adults. There's no kids around, so there's literally nothing
fun going on.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
There was one kid who sorry, there was one all
the listeners, there was one kid and he was like
a year older than me. It's like we would do
some fun stuff, but normally it was just work, Like
we would just be working.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And it would just be you guys, adults in the studio.
That's a lot of lotteries.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
No it's not I I promise that.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Guess the shame just now with them.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I promise it's not a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I'm trusting you because I never cooked the tackle me
without taco seasoning, So learn teach me.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I just don't like the flavor of taco seasoning, Like
something is wrong. Yeah, like I used to eat it
with I was younger, but growing up, like I just realized,
like EO, this shit is nasty.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Then why is the taco packet sauce so important to you?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Then? Because it's the sauce, the Taco Bell sauce.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Like growing up we didn't have like we might not
have had like the guacamo lee and the lettuce and
all that.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
It was just meat and cheese.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
So when we would go like to Taco Bell, we
would ask for the package and we keep them in
like a drawer at the house.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
To this day, we still have taco like.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Taco We hurt you with that. I'm sorry, it's okay,
it's okay, but I thought it was an interesting request.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, but like the mild sauce, the hot sauce whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
So it's just the sauces, yes, Like okay, it's just
the sauce, not trying to derail this story. So she
comes to you. She says, hey, eleven year old ju,
is this what you want to sign up for the
rest of your life? And you say hell to the yes, Yes, okay,
So then what happens next?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
So then I'm just like this kid internet sensation and
then I end.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Up going on the road, going on tour.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Ooh, back up, It wasn't that overnight, was it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You know how they say things don't happen overnight.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
This actually like when I posted my first song, like
it literally happened overnight. Like the views were just coming
in and coming in and coming in, and you know,
it was crazy because it's like all these people want
to watch me, Like, yeah, you don't. I wasn't expecting
it to happen like that fast, but it actually happened
(15:38):
that fast.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Now do you think your parents were prepared for that
type of turnaround?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I don't think anyone was prepared, but okay, I just
think like they were like, Okay, we're just gonna put
this little girl in the studio.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
We'll see what she can do. Okay, And then like
they've seen what I could do, and like just went crazy.
After that. So when I mean I went on tour.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I went on a radio run and I was just
promoting like all my songs or whatever, and then the
views just kept going and going and going.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So we're like, okay, we'll do a we'll do a tour.
I did.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Let me think, I don't know if I signed before
I went on tour.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, I signed.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'm sure someone tried to capitalize.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I signed with the label that I went down to
Florida with and then we did a rock Nation tour.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah. So I was.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Performing at the House of Blues like in Houston and Chicago,
like and all my dates were sold out, all my
tour days. Mind you, I'm twelve and all my tour
dates are like sold out. So we're like, wait, this
is kind of crazy. But whole time, I'm just like,
so that's.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
What the vegetable oil was for. Okay, you teach me
how to cook, Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
So whole time, I'm just like, this is just fun.
I'm traveling and I get to perform my song to
like all these little kids who loved me.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So it was just I don't know, it was normal.
It was fun.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What was the money looking like, that's where we get
into some deep shit right there.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So this is where the tip of the roller coaster
just go down.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So and your mom is she full time at this point?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah, she's a full time.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
But so who's paying for everything? Because your dad is
not managing the family.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Right rather than the label was paying for it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
But the label had put me with a manager and
he was just like the worst ever. At first, it
was great, like I felt like I attached to him
and his wife like we were family whatever, and so
like the tour, going on tour, this is when like
I ended up falling out with my manager and his
(17:45):
wife is because he didn't want me to perform the song.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That started me like being an artist on my tour.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The one that got you over seventy million views overnight.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
No no, no, no, the one I said I made for
my Okay, so mind you, I didn't. I wasn't performing
this song in any other city when I went home.
It was my birthday show on the tour. So I'm like,
let me perform my birthday song.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
And you're Detroit NATed with a Detroit song, right exactly?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, Okay, so I'm like, let me perform it.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
He wouldn't perform. I mean, he wouldn't let me perform it.
He wouldn't let none of my family come backstage. He
wouldn't let my family into the venue. Like it was
really bad.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Where how old was this guy?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
He was old as hell? He was Like.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
How did he get that much? Say so as a
manager though.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
But mind you, my mom this is new to us,
so it's not like she knew what was going on
and like finding out after we left him, finding out like, wait,
my YouTube makes money?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Where I putting out this video that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Got finding out? You guys didn't know.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
No, we didn't know. I didn't know that YouTube made money.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So did your parents either, No, they saw all those views,
but you knew how many views it was getting. Yeah,
so wait back up. This is the thing that scares
me about the industry right here, because people always come
up to me and my daughter and they always like,
put her in the industry, And I'm like, there's something
that goes on when you have a young kid in
the industry where at some point management or something intervenes
and they separate the parents from the child.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's what was Like they were trying to do.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, that's like they would be in my ear like
this is when like I'm on tour for like radio
ones and be in my ear and they'll be like yeah,
like when you start making money, like don't give any
to your mom, like that's yours, Like she shouldn't be
getting anything. They would like try to just take me
and leave my mom home, like tell my mom like
(19:46):
in her ear, like, oh, you need to go home,
like with your husband and your other kids, like just
leave her with us.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
No, no, thank you, We're not doing that.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You did your mom say that?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah? She said no for sure, Like.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
There was never part a time where she release the reins.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
No, my mom never left me, like since I turned.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Eighteen was the like recently the first time that my
mom didn't go with me out of town. Like now
that I'm older, I can travel you know by myself
and things like that, but like she never left my side, Okay,
and I'm glad she didn't because God knows what.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, you never know.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Let me tell you. It happens with the boys too,
but they don't tell you know. If you look at
the history of like mindless behavior, be two k.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Like when I was younger. I opened up for them
their concert.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Oh really which one mindless wer b two.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
K mindless behavior.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, whatever happened. But a lot of those kids, a
lot of bad stuff happens because the parents like aren't there.
Look at Justin Bieber happened to him, Like they just
release and let go. But I I think it happens
more so to the boys than the girls for some
shrage reason. People just I guess think the little boys
are safe, but they're usually not exactly so at this show,
(21:10):
is that the moment where your parents and you start
to say something's wrong with this management team, when they
start to just say they don't allow your parents to
come backstage and all that.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, what's crazy is after that show happened, we never
talked to them ever again, like ever, Like they just
cut all communication. So it's like, okay, now we have
to get into my YouTube channel and all of this
through the label. And then that's when we figure out like, oh,
I was making money whole time. My manager had put
like his bank information in and shit like that in
(21:44):
the back end of YouTube, so it was all going
to him.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So you actually get the log and you start to
see how much money he's making. Now at the time,
how much money were you making in comparison to how
much he was making.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I wasn't making anything.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And he but wait, when you were on tour, you
weren't making anything.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I mean, they didn't give me no money.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
This man tells you, hey, what do you make money?
Don't give it to your parents? And the whole time
he had.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
The whole time I was making money, but he was
taking it. Yeah, to the point like we're on we're
on the road like for tour, and I'm wondering, Like
when I first met them, you know, they were wearing
like Target outfits, Target T shirts, stopping at Target, and
now we're stopping at Chanel.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But they're leaving me and my mama in a car
while they're going into Chanelle buying bags and shit. And
I'm like, no way.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
We were just you know, at Target, buying Target underwear
and now we're at Chanelle.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And are you and your mom like financially kind of
being frugal at the time to make things work because
she gave up your job or.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I mean, like we would, okay, we would.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Get like You're like, I don't like that stove.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
It was not working. We would get what is it
called perms? You know what that is?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah? Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It was just looking back, it's all janky. It's so
janky now that I'm realizing telling the story. We would
get per diems and I think we would get like
fifty dollars a day for like food or something. Maybe
it was one hundred whatever, but it's coming from the label,
going to my manager then coming to us.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So he would.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Pocket twenty five of the fifty off of each of
my mom, me and my mom, so then he would
so he would take that and we would only get
like twenty five dollars each to eat every day.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
And I'm guessing your parents probably thought this is like
what the normal role to success is, right, Yeah, because
even though even though you are selling out shows and
have over seventy million views in millions of followers on social.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Media, yeah crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So did the record label when did the record label
find out all this was happening.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Once we parted ways with the Innager? It is when
they found out because like the CEO of the label,
like he just trusted the guy and like, you know,
let him handle everything.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
So it was like, so if he made all that money, right,
it's safe to assume that he made a bulk of
the money, because I'm after you hit that peek on YouTube.
The rest is like the lesser growing right of views.
I would imagine.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
What do you mean, Like like he made a bulk
of the money up front said that first video had
seventy million views, Right, so he made a bulk of
the money on that video.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Right, But it still calculates money.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So you're still making money every day off that same video.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah, but I'm not getting now anyway, So why girl?
Why so much?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
No? How you got the counts, you got the accounts
to do what the record label say that you have
to recoup or something.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
No, but I had signed to a different layer. It
was three hundred right you Entertainment in the label I
had signed to them, and like they were.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I don't even know if I could say this, but
I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Tell you they were taking all my money from songs
that I didn't even make with them as well. So
I have the manager, I have the manager taking money
and then the label's taken all the money.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Right, Like I'm traumatized. I don't want to sign.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I don't want to sign nothing because it's like, damn like,
everything I've signed has just went wrong on wrong.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It's just terrible. So then so then so you sign
a new deal and they're taking money off the songs
that you did not make with them.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, and they were taking it for seven years.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Did you know that or did you find out after
the seven years?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
No, we ended up finding out, but.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Once like I left them, they were still taking it
when they were supposed to stop.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Girls, First of all, they shouldn't have been taken it
to begin with if they didn't make the songs with you.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I know, but my manager had gave up the rights
to my song.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So the previous manager. Yeah, okay, but wouldn't they go
back to you if he gave up the rights to
the songs?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Well, this is another thing.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
This is so fucked this.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
This is another thing.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
There's a lot of money we're talking about. We're not
talking about a little bit of money.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, he you know, like you put like your name's
down for like publishing, Yeah, on a song. Yeah, he
didn't put my name down at all, so he put
his instead as like the writer and shit.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
In your original contract, did it say he could do
all this?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Girl?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I don't even remember the original contract, Like do your parents.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Do your parents ever talk about it? Because you were
very young at the time, so I understand you not knowing,
But at some point did they start to be like, hey.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, my mom started to be like, hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah, But I mean we didn't get any answers because
the CEO of the label didn't know what was going
on because he didn't handle his business.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
He put it in the hands of who was managing me.
So yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
It's crazy the whole time you're working as any of this.
Does it cause you to not want to do business
with or or should not want to be in the industry.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
It doesn't make me not want to be in the industry,
but it makes me just not trust people.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, I wouldn't. I don't trust I wouldn't trust an adult,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I just don't trust nobody. I feel like everybody just
be doing me dirty.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So it's actually pretty sad to be honest.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Are you supposed to fold those in the pot? Are
you supposed to fold those like that out? Is that
how you do it at home? I fold it out? Okay,
Oh sh.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Let me not burn myself.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
These look good by the way, keep making them, keep
making them. I want at least two or three of
these bad all right, So then you lose money on
the first contract with the first manager, you lose. But
at this point you do have control.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Of your YouTube. Yeah, I have control of my YouTube now.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Okay, and so all your social media, all of your
social media for sure, social.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Media for sure. Everything is me everything.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And what is your mom and your dad saying during
all of these transitions?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I my dad really like he doesn't know like the
business side for real, Like he only knows like what
we tell him basically, and like when we tell him,
he's still just like, don't understand it. But my mom,
I think he's old.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
But of course all kids think their parents.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
What's older or younger to you? I thought they were
one hundred, what's like older to you?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I'm just saying, were they like a older you know
how like I think DC young flock. He said his
parents were like sixty or something.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
When they know my parents didn't hit sixty yet.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, there's a lot to go through. And your mom
just is not really updating him, or he's just like
I don't fully understand it.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
No, he just doesn't understand it. It's like we tell him,
but he just don't understand. Okay, Yeah, this story is
a long.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Do you still have a Do you have a manager currently?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
You just said you don't trust people.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I don't, but we trust her.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I trust her with my life actually.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Really Yeah, Okay, shout out to the manager. I know
you're in the building, but damn these stories are very traumatic.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
So but my mom is also my manager as well.
She's a monitor.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yes, so I tellt what your mom. She was very polite,
very nice, she knew your stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So yeah, yeah she's okay.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So you have like two managers. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I just feel like my mom will always be a
part of like managing me, just because she's been there
for so long, know what I've gone through, and she's
my mom.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Like no one is gonna have like.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Have my back as much as her, course, you know,
because she's my mom. Like that's just how it is.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, she believes you from day one and always asked
you if this is what you want to do, then
she rode with it.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, So how who supports your family?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Now?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
What do you mean, like, is your mom back working?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
She's not back working? Well she is working because she
works for me. Yeah yeah, but yeah her and my
daughter back at home.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Now, okay, so are you is I don't want to
be as delicate as humanly possible with you, Brooklyn, But
would you say that technically you are.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The taking care of the family.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yeah, yeah, okay, And how do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I mean, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Does it ever feel stressful?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yes? For sure?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Do you feel like I feel like.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
It's like I don't have no kids and I gotta
work like I got six kids, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
What I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
But I would do anything for my family of course,
like the clothes off my back, they can have it,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
So, like, and I know where I'm going. I feel
like I.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Know where I'm going to be in the next let's
say two years or five years whatever, Like I know
that I'm going to be in a great situation. So
I mean, I would be taking care of my family
for the rest of my life if I could, Like
if nobody wanted to do anything and just sit on
their ass, even though like y'all, like I'm talking to.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
The little brothers, get on your shit, but like.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I would still take care of y'all, Like we talk
all the time, and they're like, Brooklyn, when you get
like a mansion whatever, we're going to be over there.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
And I'm like, oh, that's fine, but what are you
gonna do with like what do you want to be?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
You know, like, yeah, because there's a there's a especially
when they're that young or younger, you know, there's that
thin line where you become an enabler, and that enabler
residual effect is a lot more painful than you could imagine,
you know, because that's a lot of pressure as a
as a young person, because you're also pursuing your dreams
in an industry that's very fick on. So would you say,
(32:22):
you're you're all the smoky your business documents, we go
smoke it out.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
How is it about thirty sway?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Okay, that's good. You made enough tackles to feed us.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, well you say you want to like two or three,
but when you try.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
To what's the day in the life of you right now?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
A day in the life of me right now? Well
we're in La right now.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Yeah, and I had to come out here to film
my podcast Girl Talk.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Sure, I go check it and drop what girl Talk
talks about.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Girl Talk is basically.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
When you watch it, you just feel like you're there
with us talking about We literally talk about everything everything
you can imagine when it comes to boys, it comes
to parents, periods, like deep conversations like we just did
an episode called Losing People, and you know, we're just
talking about like people that we've lost in our life
(33:21):
and stuff like that. We it's just like a wide
variety of like everything, any topic you can think of,
we talk about it.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I know you guys also talk about mental health, we do.
Are you familiar with Alicia Bernie rest in Peace? No.
Alicia Bernie. She was on our show. She was a
young influencer, started around the same age as you. She
just recently passed from like an asthma attack.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
What.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I don't even know if I should talk about this,
but one of the things that I noticed when she
was on our show is she talked about how being
an influencer, she was very lonely. It was something that
she actually was like there are times around very lonely
or I feel alone. And she also had a lot
(34:07):
of the same responsibilities as you. She passed way too young,
but that was something that was like an underlying. If
you watch the episode, you'd see like it was a
very personal thing that she was constantly dealing with even
when she came it came to dating. She says she
couldn't trust if dudes were with her because of that.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Or because of who she is. Yeah, I understand that
for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
That's crazy though, which side the dudes or just being
like semi alone or lonely.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
I thank god I don't ever feel like I'm alone
because I have a really good, like support system.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I have a lot of good.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
People around me when it comes to I won't even
say just guys, but just people in general. You never
know if somebody's coming into your life genuinely because they
just want to be cool with you and they like
you as a person, or if they're coming in your
life because they can.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Benefit off of you in some type of way.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, you know, and I've experienced that so many times.
Like it, whether it's someone trying to talk to me
or someone trying to be my best friend, they just
want to eat off of you, and you don't realize
it because at the time it's like, oh, like this
is my best tee, Like we're doing everything together, Like
I love you whatever, but then they do some crazy
(35:25):
shit to you and it's like, damn.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Like you were never genuine.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I saw a clip online, oh, snap of me. I
saw a clip online. Oh my god. You were talking
about something to the likes of like you were dating
a guy, a young man that cheated on you. And
I think you said in the clips matter of fact,
you finish it, but he cheated on you a lot. Okay, right,
(35:49):
And did you say I want to say this, please
don't embarrass me if I said this wrong, But I
think you said, like your friend hooked up with him
in your bed. Yeah, yes, that's a traumatic experience, is
it was crazy? How did you find out? You didn't
like walk in and see that? Right?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
No, if I would have walked in, I would have
Oh my god, I don't know what I would have done.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I don't know what someone would do in that situation.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
That's like because betrayal, No, for sure, it's it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
That's the best friend for how long?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I want to say, like.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Maybe like a year or like she wasn't like childhood
best friend, but like everyone on social media just labeled
us as best friends, and like it was slowly becoming
that because we were like she lived with me.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
It was like we were around each other at the time.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
But previously to that, we came I met her through
someone that I don't really mess with, and that like
got mad that we were friends, and then like we
started beefing with them to the point like we were
making distracks and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
But anyway, we're not gonna talk about him.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
So, like we go back to Detroit for I think
it was we went back to Detroit for his birthday
ex boyfriend. Okay, I went back for his birthday. When
you said she was with you, she came with me, Okay,
so she knows, like, okay, this is I mean, we
weren't dating at the time, but like that was my ex,
(37:19):
my first love, my first everything.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
So it usually means off limits, yeah, anytime if it's
an ex boyfriend not talking about I mean, some people
share casualties, but if it has that label of like boyfriend, husband, fiance,
it's usually typically a no fly zone.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yeah, off limits for sure. So then like Sinkle to
Mile comes and she was about to go home. I
should have just let the bitch go home, Oh my god,
but I'm like, no, you should stay, like it's Sinkle
to Mayo like we're my family's Mexican, Like we're.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Gonna eat tacos and people a gonna be drinking tequila, Like, yeah,
you should stay.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
She ends up staying and Sinkle to my O. Night.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
I got into it with the boyfriend because he was
texting a girl in my house and I'm like, how
are you going to be sitting next to me texting somebody?
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Like what are you done?
Speaker 3 (38:10):
So he was texting the girl whatever, and we got
into it. And when I let my best friend at
the time stay in my room because like, you know,
like you can have your privacy whatever, you can have
my room. So I was laying on the couch and
when I was sleep on the couch is when the
whole thing happened. Mind you, there's a wall between me
(38:31):
and the in my bedroom. So I'm sleeping on the
couch and I wake up to him crying in my
face and.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
I'm just crying in your face.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yes, on his knees, like boohooing, And I'm just sitting
there like I'm thinking he's crying because I just cussed
him out over the girl texting.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
The whole time he was crying.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Because he knows that he just did something terrible, right,
I don't find out until two weeks later. The girl
comes to.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Me and Sae, you didn't find out till two weeks later.
You didn't ask Hi why he was crying.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Because I didn't care, Like, yeah, like, you're not about
to talk to you, but I'm not talking.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
To I don't care. You didn't care what I was crying.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Know what he was crying about? So then what do
you mean you found out two weeks later what happened.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
The girl had ended up telling me when we were
out back in l a and she was like, I
have to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
You're gonna be mad. I'm like, what, Like, why am
I gonna be mad? She was like, you know, like
it involves someone you love, and I'm just thinking.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I'm thinking in the back of my head, like who
is she? What is she about to say to me
right now? But then she flips the story. I'm not
gonna say.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
She flips the story.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Her side of the story is that he came in
the room and sexually assaulted her and put his private
areas in her mouth. Mind you, she has braces. There's
no way that somebody can just yeah, you're sleeping. There's
she's sleeping, is what she says.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
And I'm like what.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I was so depressed, so bad, like throwing up every day,
like start like I'm the victim.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Yeah, okay, So when do you find out the truth?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
When I go back to Detroit and he knocks on
my door and two in the morning and he tells
me like, no, this is what actually happened.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Did she come on to him? I'm just genuinely.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Curious, of course, Right, yes she did.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
She's fired officially, Right, she's officially fired and banned from
the club.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Right, Yes, she's gone.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Okay, I would never be able to sign another contract again.
We're in the age where you can like do everything
independently now, yeah, so are you leaning more towards independent now?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I'm not signing nothing unless it's life changing. Like, I'm
not gonna sign anything unless I'm gonna be straight for
the rest of my life and my grandkid's grandkids.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Are gonna be straight for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
You know, how do you screen people for dating? Now
you're dating, you're in another relationship, art.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
You hold on, hold on, I know I'm not, I
am not, I am not.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
You better not be. I feel like if I were
to date again, I would need do you know how
when you go? Well, you wouldn't know because you've been
successful since you were a teeny bopper, But I would.
I would at least do reference checks, like you'd have
to give me a couple of ex girlfriends numbers. I'm sorry, buddy.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Oh no, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
You're no, I'm totally after everything you've been through. No, nah, bro,
we had to do some kind of background checks. Is
that toxic or is that being extra cautious?
Speaker 2 (41:35):
I think that's crazy you do.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
No, I haven't done it. I'm still married.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Oh how long have you been married?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Long enough to know that marriage is no? Long enough
to know that don't do it?
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Ladies? Okay, so don't get married? Can I see this? Also?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah? See see? You're making me sound like a what
is it, a pestimist? A pessimist person. So you're out
there dating? Okay? Cool? You trust the world again? No?
Speaker 3 (41:58):
No, no, no, that doesn't mean that I don't trust everybody
like you know.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
It's just like they thank you.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
I've dated since that relationship okay, which I got cheated
on too, But like everybody, I talk like it cheated on.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Yeah, maybe I'm the problem. No, no, you're not. You
know what, I'll tell you something I had to learn
because my husband cheated.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
He cheated like nobody's business.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Why'd you stay like.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
I'm I'm a little No, I'm I no. No. If anything,
I advise the younger you are, the least you should
put up with. But I stayed because I you know,
I have a daughter, and I believe in the old
school family things. Well not that, and I do love them,
but I do realize that like when people cheat, it's
(42:46):
usually them, not you, because the women always think it's
like maybe the girls better or maybe I did something,
or maybe I wasn't. Most people that cheat are usually
serial cheaters. And even if they are serial cheaters, it's
up to them to change on their own time and
on a cord if they ever. Do you know, there's
no perfect you can ever make a cheat or not cheat.
(43:07):
You know, I just think allmend cheat. What does your
dad say?
Speaker 2 (43:13):
What about cheating? Yeah, I don't think he's ever. He's
never cheated on my.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Mom, But what what does he say.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Like when I get cheated on?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Oh I don't even you.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Don't talk to him about it.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
No, why my dad will go beat somebody up back
and I still love you.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
I don't want you to give me up.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
That's hilarious. All right here? Why you only take take
one taco?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
What could I make sure it's good?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Okay, let's see these tacos and your place. It's smoking
in here. Okay, guys, look at these good tacos. She
hooked me up.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Good trench baby tacos.
Speaker 1 (43:46):

By the way, I love your chain, like I need
that chain, the Brooklyn chain. It's so nice. I want
to get one with my name. I'll let you know
the jeweler, let me know, let me know. All right,

I love that. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (44:19):

Speaker 1 (44:24):
I'm never gonna eat corn tortilla's again. It's like it's perfect.
So you put a lot of oil in it. You
know what? These are good with tacos? You She was
hanging on her own drink.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Listen, I used to drink these when I was little, Like,
this will not be my choice of drink today, but.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
You know that's where I grew up. One.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
These taco shells are amazing.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yes, because my Mexican's are like, comeing out.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Do you just do only vegetabil Do you do butter too?
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Just vegetables?
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Why?
Speaker 2 (45:02):
I don't know. That's just how I learned how to
do it.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
Okay, you're too good. I'm so glad you made a bunch. Okay,
all right, so now we know broken good cook and
she's still optimistic. I do think I think to go
kind of what you said. I do think that a
(45:23):
good percentage of men cheat, But I do think there's
some people that don't.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
No, yeah for sure. But everyone I've dealt with cheated,
So that's why I think that.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Well, so let's talk about your career. Okay, so what's
on your goal list for your career? Chuckles are so
good at home, I'm gonna take an eat break.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Yeah, let's just let's just.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
No one does it like that, because the way you
did it was like a puffy pastry type. Is that
how your mom does it?
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah? Well, I learned from my aunt. That's the way
to do it.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
I've seen people like lightly do it on each side,
but I did not know you can get that like
puffy pastry type. It's so good. Is that that must
be how they make chilupa's then.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Right, yeah? Or like you know what the toastata is.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Yeah, like we'll we'll make a toastada like that as well,
Like we'll just fry it a little bit hard, don't
fold it, and then like put the beans, the meat
and like all.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
The topics the oh that's a bowl.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Oh yeah, like the taco shell.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, let me tell you something best, hands down, I'm
gonna make tacos like this, probably send some pictures online.
You have to have you ever done that with eggs
and like breakfast?
Speaker 3 (46:45):
Actually I have, but I made it like a toastarle
like it was flat, and then I would fry the
tortilla and then put it just leave it in the pan,
crack the egg on top and fry the egg so
it like sticks the tortilla, and then put like avocado
and tomato so and peppery.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
That I'm doing that, Oh and some lime juice with
lime juice. Yes, really, yes, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Do you keep the egg running or firm.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
I guess it just depends on my mood.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
So you don't flip it though. You don't flip the
tortilla over.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
No, I just would like take a spoon and like
get the oil and like splash it on the egg
to cook the top of the egg.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Okay, Okay, I got it. Yeah, But if you want
it flat, the tortilla down, fry it and then put
the egg on after I fried both slides and then
let it cook on the pot. Yeah, avocado, seasoning, avocado
and a little bit of lemon.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
That sounds amazing, amazing.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Okay, So you would cook, okay, bro, I am a chef.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
One of the things I do want to talk about
is I I have gone.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
To Detroit, Okay, and Detroit is why were you there
first before?
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Because I told you to hoby Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
So when I go to Detroit, it's you know, if
I'm from New York, I live in LA. It used
to big cities, a lot of progress. When I go
to Detroit, it's always conflicting emotions for me because it's
like house bomb, bomb, house, bomb, neighborhood bomb, bomb, bomb.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
House, what do you mean bomb?
Speaker 1 (48:11):
Meaning like a house that's been abandoned. Oh okay, And I
always wonder, like how strong you have to be to
get past that type of environment, like to look past it.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
So where my mom grew up, it was like a
little house on Stout, you know, it's the name of
the street. And back in the day there was like
all houses. Now if we drive.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Through there, if I took you, it would just look
like a field of grass and then a house and
then a field, like all the houses are burned down,
like gone, you know what I mean. My dad he
grew up on like the better side of the hood,
so where it was like the all nice brick houses
and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
But like I I wasn't there enough to really experience that,
like the bandit houses.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
But even in the nice state neighborhoods, so like I've
been to like Indian Head Village or I don't know
if you know where that is. It's like where it's
like a nice it's I think, I don't know, but
it's like it's like a bunch of nice houses, maybe
like three good blocks, and then outside of those three
good blocks it looks kind of crazy. Yeah, are you
(49:22):
saying that where you lived in Detroit. You didn't see
the house field.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
Yeah, no, I mean I see it now like when
I ride through or like you go over there, But
where I live.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
It's not It's not like that I need to go
where you live.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
I'm trying to tell you the west side, the west Side.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
The west side is the best side, like no, no tin,
no shade, like the east side. Y'all are just the
east side. I always say east side people like not
even just the people, just east side in Gymeral's just dirty.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
Okay, there's there a lot of people commenting on this.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
No, and I say this all the time.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
The west side is just better, like we are just that.
Speaker 3 (50:04):
But let somebody from anywhere else, like not in Michigan.
Let somebody from anywhere else say anything about the west Side.
Then the east Side and the west we come together. Okay,
let y'all say some about the east Side. We're gonna
come together. So when it comes to Detroit, we joined forces.
But when it's in Detroit, like we're like, no, the
west side.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
I just think the west side is better. I gotta
take you over there.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Well, there's a lot of great things that come out
of Detroit. Okay, there's a lot of great entrepreneurs that
come out of Detroit. We've met a lot of great
people out of Detroit.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Go on back to this new documentary on Netflix call
what is it called Bad Influence something. When you're a
young influencer, did you feel a lot of pressure to
post all the time and to constantly drop content all
the time? Was there like a hidden pressure there?
Speaker 2 (50:52):
No, because I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
It didn't feel like, oh, you gotta post this, you
gotta do this, you gotta do that, because I just
like to post and give people what they want to see.
So for me, it wasn't really that of course, like
my mom would be like, you didn't post your TikTok like.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
Till this day, my mom, I'm probably.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
A text on my phone right now, like why didn't
you post TikTok yet? But it's like, now it's my job,
like I have to post TikTok even though I still
enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
You know, it's just work now, you know.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah, So you do you scroll on social media the
way people that aren't influencers scroll on media or social media?
Are you just looking to see what the responses are.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
Oh no, I'm on there like twenty four seven.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
Really, Like, if we're just hanging out like normal day,
you're gonna see me on my phone scrolling both phones
in the hand, scrolling.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Why do you have two phones?
Speaker 3 (51:45):
Because I have recently just got a new one, but
like I still have all my old stuff on the
other phone.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
So like, you know, I get a chance to have.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
I mean I did, but like I don't want to
give rid of my phone.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
I'm never I never give out. You know what I
do is I'll buy a new phone, I'll tell them
to transfer it, and then I take my old phone
and I keep the boxes of all the old phones.
It sounds weird, and I just put it back in
the box and I just shelve it because sometimes I
have like contacts in an old phone and they never
transfer them over or videos or pictures, so I just
keep the old phone. I have like a little museum
(52:19):
of phones in my house. It's like a little cabinet
that just has like a million phones.
Speaker 2 (52:23):
That sounds like hoarding, though it's not because.
Speaker 1 (52:25):
The phones are like this big. They're like this big.
But wait, you walk around with two phones?
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Well, yeah, I need it.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
No, you said, you don't.
Speaker 2 (52:37):
What I need both of them, and then like, how.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
Am I hoard when you need two phones and you
only one person?
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Because I'm not keeping the phone and just leaving them
in a box, I'm actually using them.
Speaker 1 (52:50):
You are nineteen now, Yeah, you've had at least five phones? Okay? Yeah,
so where are you put in other phones?
Speaker 3 (52:56):
I would like give them to my brother and he
would like get his phone turned on. And at the
ex boyfriend who cheated on me with my best friend,
he didn't have a phone because he was from the
east Side.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
And broke and I had to give him a phone.
Speaker 3 (53:09):
Yeah, it was chanting on me with the phone that
I gave him. Like what that's that's typical.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
That's typical.
Speaker 1 (53:16):
He's from the east Side. Yes see, maybe it's the
east side.
Speaker 2 (53:19):
The Troy is the east Side thing.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
I'm trying to It's really Easide Okay, okay, So what
other things do you have going on that we should
be looking forward to? Brooklyn?
Speaker 3 (53:29):
Well girl talk of course we drop every Wednesday every
week every Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (53:35):
Are you independent? Are you signed to iHeart or anybody nowhere?
Speaker 2 (53:38):
Are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (53:39):
Like the whole podcast we're with W M. E. After
everything that happened, do you feel like you're more trench
starting to pay attention to the business side of course, Like.
Speaker 3 (53:50):
I am getting older and want to know, like the
business behind everything. Like I want to be looking at
the contracts even though I might not understand everything in it,
but it's good for me to read it and try
to understand. And if I don't understand, go look it
up to figure out what it is. You know, Like
I'm getting older to the point my mom's not always
going to be by my side. I need to learn
(54:11):
how to do everything on my own.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
Yeah, you know, but you don't ever sign a contract
without her semi glancing at it now.
Speaker 3 (54:18):
Ye know, there's always a lawyer in her looking at it. Okay,
and then we'll have like someone else who we know,
like knows business look over it to make sure, you know,
like we're very careful.
Speaker 1 (54:27):
Now, okay, very careful, and all all accounts now lead
to you. Yeah, I a man, good job.
Speaker 2 (54:33):
Okay, we're doing good.
Speaker 1 (54:35):
We're doing good.
Speaker 2 (54:36):
We're doing good.
Speaker 1 (54:37):
But yeah, and I only say that because hearing your story,
it's very scary, but it's very real. It happens to
a lot of people. You know, but your success was
also monumental, so to not be able to capitalize off
that it's kind of sucky.
Speaker 2 (54:51):
Yeah, it's crazy now.
Speaker 1 (54:53):
Sorry, what else are you? What else are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (54:56):
Any note tours right now? Music? For sure.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
I've been working on a lot of new music which
should be coming out very soon. We're just trying to
figure out, like what song is the best next song.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
To put out. I recently just got done filming a
TV series. Okay, that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (55:15):
It's it's called Southwest and it's a show based on
a high school in Detroit, and the producers are Jalen Rose,
Dennis Reid, and thy Mopkins.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
They're all from Detroit.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
Jalen Rose is a former basketball player, which you probably know,
but he's in the show and I play his daughter
in the show.
Speaker 2 (55:36):
Okay, I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (55:37):
Like exactly like the whole plot, of course, but I
think it's gonna be like one of the biggest TV
shows out.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
When is it releasing?
Speaker 2 (55:46):
Not sure? We didn't even like this. I'm really letting
it all be known right now, you know.
Speaker 3 (55:53):
So we don't know when exactly it's coming out yet,
but you will be seeing more.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
Of it like I'll be dropping a trailer soon.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
And you like acting?
Speaker 2 (56:01):
I love acting.
Speaker 1 (56:02):
Do you like music more than acting or acting more
than music?
Speaker 2 (56:05):
I like music more than acting.
Speaker 1 (56:07):
Okay, I figured music's your first love. It is, okay,
all right. Any advice would you give to anybody coming
up in the game on the just the young person's side.
Speaker 3 (56:20):
Don't trust everybody, Do not trust everybody. All I would say,
follow your dream and don't let anyone get in the
way of your dream. Don't let anyone tell you differently
about yourself. If you know, like like I can do this,
I believe in myself, then you can do it.
Speaker 2 (56:40):
Don't let anyone try to stop you. And that's that's
what I say.
Speaker 1 (56:45):
With those first managers, they were they one hundred percent
believed in you. Do you think that the power is
what changed the dynamic of that relationship or do you
think that they were like that from the jump?
Speaker 2 (56:59):
I believe that they could have been like that from
the jump, and just was I had a mask over it,
you know, because I don't.
Speaker 1 (57:07):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (57:08):
I just feel like, if you can do somebody dirty,
you're You've always just been that type of person, and
just do somebody dirty.
Speaker 2 (57:13):
You know like nothing changes.
Speaker 1 (57:16):
Yeah, I definitely agree with that. Like, if I see
you act a certain way with somebody, if I see
people talk behind people's back when I have a role,
I have to exit the conversation because I don't want
to be a part of the problem of it.
Speaker 2 (57:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (57:30):
But two, I always feel like, okay, if that's how
you talk about other people, Like yeah, so I've always
been like that since I was young. But I see
somebody doing that, I'm like, Oh, that's how they move,
and that's how they move. Okay, Okay, I know I'm
not above it. All right, Well, thank you guys for

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Dang, are you the only girl?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I am?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And are you and you're the oldest?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
No, I'm not. I'm like in the middle between all
of them.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh. The So they had a couple and then they
got married parents.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
So my dad had a kid, and then my mom
had a kid, but separately. Okay, they got together, had
me my younger brother, and then I have a cousin
but I claim him as my brother.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So okay, yeah, okay, cool.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
So I just feel like this is not cooking.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is it? Because it's not high high up enough the girl. Girl. Okay,
if you touch that stove, it's cooking. It's cooking. I
promise I'll see that heat coming up.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Okay, we're just gonna leave it and let us yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Let us sits. So you grew up in this beautiful
two parent household in Detroit.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, well okay, let me just break it all down
from the very beginning.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yes, please.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Basically, both of my parents are from like one of
the worst arts in Detroit, right mom, I'm from Brama
as well, but I moved out of there, like they
we moved by the time. Like all I remember really
is our new home. But like everyone thinks like, oh,
they left the hood and they're like in this glamorized
(05:19):
neighborhood whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It was not like that.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
We just got into like a little better, a little
better situation, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
So yeah, so we just lived life. Everyone was just.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I guess I'm gonna just call it normal because like
that's all I know.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Like it was just normal.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
But like everyone's like, oh, you you got out of
the hood and like you're rich and all of this.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Like no, like we were.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Still like struggling, Like what were your parents doing for work.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
My mom was a nail tech.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Oh no, she didn't do that, but she my nails
like since I was younger, Like I was freaking four
years old with like my nails and toes all stoned out,
like my mom. Really, I got to show you some
of her way because you see my nails when.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I walked in. I gotta show you, Okay, But yeah,
so she did.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Nails and she was really the one that was putting
food on the table.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I was about to say, what'd your dad do?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Well, he was just I guess you would call it
like a stead home dad.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, okay, but like he would just.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Take care of the whole family because like my grandma
was sick, just like taking care of my younger sibling.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Like that's basically what he did.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Like he's really he's really like Superman for real, because
like me and my mom fast forward, me and my
mom had to like go on the road for my career,
and she just dropped her career for me.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like, so before we get into that, how old were
you when you started showing signs of this is what
I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I was five.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
You were five? And where did this influence come from?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
My parents would like just play music around me all
the time.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
So I grew up listening to music all different types, okay,
Like and it's crazy, like my dad listens to country music,
or he'll listen to like hip hop or like pop,
and then my mom listened to like Biggie and Tupac
and freaking bob Ce. Like it was like a variety
of all different sounds me growing up. So like, you
(07:24):
play any song right now, I'm probably gonna know it, okay.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
But yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Then they would like play around in the studio because
they had like friends who did music and stuff like that.
They would play around and like make their own songs
just to listen to themselves. Like they didn't want to
become like no big time rapper, but so they would
just make songs and listen to themselves. And then I
had ended up doing a talent show in elementary school.
(07:48):
I was in kindergarten, and so they like wrote me
a rap for me to do, and I did the
talent show and everybody in the audience was like just
screaming my name because like there was a part of
the song and I'm like rock with Brook or something.
I don't remember the song but everyone had to like
chant my name. And once I heard that and I
(08:09):
was on that stage, like that was the moment that
I knew, like I need to be on a stage
for the rest of my life, Like I need to
be doing this. I love entertaining people, whether it's like
me making music or me dancing or acting or anything
or just being funny, Like I just love entertaining people.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Okay, So they start to see at five and in
elementary school that well, I'm sure they were in the
audience when that happened, right, Did they have that epiphany too,
that something was magical just happened.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I mean my mom always tells me, like, I know
you're gonna be a star. That's why my name's you, Brooklyn,
and I'm just like, okay, girl. But yeah, so she
said she always knew that I was going to be
doing something like entertainment wise, and that's what I do.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
So then what's the next steps from you being experiencing that?
Are you starting to have conversation with your parents about
what you want to be when you grow up? Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
No, it was basically just like my mom would have
me rap in on like Instagram and stuff, okay, or
like Facebook, I.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Guess on her page. And then I had actually made
a real song when I was eight. She was like,
you want to go to the studio, and I'm like, yeah,
let's go.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
So I go to studio and I make my first
song and I don't even remember what the song was.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oh I do remember.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Actually there's a group from Detroit called Doughboy's cash Out
and my uncle was in the group and they had
like one of the biggest songs in Detroit and it's
called Goodass Day. And I remade it for my eighth
birthday party so I can perform at my own birthday party.
And so I make the song or whatever, and that
(09:50):
was like the first song that I had made.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Actually in the studio.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
So then fast forward, that's like I make a few
other songs whatever, and then I get with the label
and because my mom like.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Did the.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Label CEO's wife's Nails, So I get with the label
or whatever, and they just invited me out to Florida
because like they were working with other artists or whatever,
and they're like, yeah, you can come and like see
what it is to be in the studio stuff like that.
So we go and I was just there like, Okay,
(10:25):
this is fun, like seeing other people work in the studio,
you know, like just get in the field of everything.
And so one of the artists were like fucking up
in the studio, like they just wanted to you know
what the rap game is that like old show?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Oh yeah, I think like all the kids.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
So he wanted to just stop working in the studio
because one of the episodes came out and he just
wanted to watch the show. And so they were like, okay,
you can go home and watch the show.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
And they called me.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Well, they called my mom and it was like two
in the morning, right, and I'm sleep and they're like this, Brook,
I want to come to the studio and make a song.
And this is I'm like eleven at the time. This
is like fast forward, and so my mom's like, well,
she's sleep, it's two in the morning, Like what do
you mean. So then they're like just ask her if
(11:14):
she wants to come. So she wakes me up and
she's like you want to go to the studio and
I'm like yeah, like what, like of course I want
to go to the studio.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So I go to the studio and that's when I make.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Like what great, are you in when you're eleven like
I was.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
In the sixth grade? Yeah, so mind you, I was
still in school at the time and had to end
up leaving school after all of this.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
But so I go into the studio and that's when
I make my first hit song.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
What does your dad say when your mom's like, hey,
we're going to the studio to in the morning. Is
this while you're in Florida?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But yeah, this is It's like.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
My dad really just wants to see me live my
dream and be successful, you know what I mean. Like
even though it's like I don't know anyone to this
day who's husband would let their wife go with their
daughter and just travel the world for.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, however long you know. Yeah, Like I don't think
that's a normal thing that people do. So yeah, so
we're in Florida.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I go make my first hit song and that was
called Kiki Taught Me And it's over like seventy million
views now well probably more.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I haven't checked it in a minute.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
But one thing, you're still getting paid off that, or
you're getting paid off that or what you know, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
This is this is when we get into ups and downs. Oh,
this is when we get to ups and downs. So
I make that song and make a few other songs.
They all went viral over millions of views, and then.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
My mom asked me.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
She's like, is this what you want to do for
the rest of your life? Like studio at two in
the morning and like all of this, And I'm like, yeah,
Like what.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Do you mean? Is this what I want to do
for the rest of my life?
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Of course, because it's something I love, Like I love
making music and it's just fun to me. It doesn't
feel like a job because it's just fun. Okay, we're
about to add in the season.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Go ahead, girl. So she asked you this while you're
in Florida, like, hey, is this the life you want?
And you're like, hell yeah. Now at the time, you're
around adults. There's no kids around, so there's literally nothing
fun going on.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
There was one kid who sorry, there was one all
the listeners, there was one kid and he was like
a year older than me. It's like we would do
some fun stuff, but normally it was just work, Like
we would just be working.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And it would just be you guys, adults in the studio.
That's a lot of lotteries.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
No it's not I I promise that.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Guess the shame just now with them.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
I promise it's not a lot.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I'm trusting you because I never cooked the tackle me
without taco seasoning, So learn teach me.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I just don't like the flavor of taco seasoning, Like
something is wrong. Yeah, like I used to eat it
with I was younger, but growing up, like I just realized,
like EO, this shit is nasty.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Then why is the taco packet sauce so important to you?
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Then? Because it's the sauce, the Taco Bell sauce.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Like growing up we didn't have like we might not
have had like the guacamo lee and the lettuce and
all that.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
It was just meat and cheese.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
So when we would go like to Taco Bell, we
would ask for the package and we keep them in
like a drawer at the house.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
To this day, we still have taco like.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Taco We hurt you with that. I'm sorry, it's okay,
it's okay, but I thought it was an interesting request.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Yeah, but like the mild sauce, the hot sauce whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
So it's just the sauces, yes, Like okay, it's just
the sauce, not trying to derail this story. So she
comes to you. She says, hey, eleven year old ju,
is this what you want to sign up for the
rest of your life? And you say hell to the yes, Yes, okay,
So then what happens next?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
So then I'm just like this kid internet sensation and
then I end.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Up going on the road, going on tour.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Ooh, back up, It wasn't that overnight, was it.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You know how they say things don't happen overnight.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
This actually like when I posted my first song, like
it literally happened overnight. Like the views were just coming
in and coming in and coming in, and you know,
it was crazy because it's like all these people want
to watch me, Like, yeah, you don't. I wasn't expecting
it to happen like that fast, but it actually happened
(15:38):
that fast.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Now do you think your parents were prepared for that
type of turnaround?
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I don't think anyone was prepared, but okay, I just
think like they were like, Okay, we're just gonna put
this little girl in the studio.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
We'll see what she can do. Okay, And then like
they've seen what I could do, and like just went crazy.
After that. So when I mean I went on tour.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I went on a radio run and I was just
promoting like all my songs or whatever, and then the
views just kept going and going and going.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So we're like, okay, we'll do a we'll do a tour.
I did.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Let me think, I don't know if I signed before
I went on tour.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, I signed.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I'm sure someone tried to capitalize.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I signed with the label that I went down to
Florida with and then we did a rock Nation tour.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Yeah. So I was.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Performing at the House of Blues like in Houston and Chicago,
like and all my dates were sold out, all my
tour days. Mind you, I'm twelve and all my tour
dates are like sold out. So we're like, wait, this
is kind of crazy. But whole time, I'm just like,
so that's.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
What the vegetable oil was for. Okay, you teach me
how to cook, Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
So whole time, I'm just like, this is just fun.
I'm traveling and I get to perform my song to
like all these little kids who loved me.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
So it was just I don't know, it was normal.
It was fun.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
What was the money looking like, that's where we get
into some deep shit right there.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So this is where the tip of the roller coaster
just go down.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So and your mom is she full time at this point?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Yeah, she's a full time.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
But so who's paying for everything? Because your dad is
not managing the family.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Right rather than the label was paying for it.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
But the label had put me with a manager and
he was just like the worst ever. At first, it
was great, like I felt like I attached to him
and his wife like we were family whatever, and so
like the tour, going on tour, this is when like
I ended up falling out with my manager and his
(17:45):
wife is because he didn't want me to perform the song.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That started me like being an artist on my tour.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
The one that got you over seventy million views overnight.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
No no, no, no, the one I said I made for
my Okay, so mind you, I didn't. I wasn't performing
this song in any other city when I went home.
It was my birthday show on the tour. So I'm like,
let me perform my birthday song.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
And you're Detroit NATed with a Detroit song, right exactly?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, Okay, so I'm like, let me perform it.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
He wouldn't perform. I mean, he wouldn't let me perform it.
He wouldn't let none of my family come backstage. He
wouldn't let my family into the venue. Like it was
really bad.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Where how old was this guy?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
He was old as hell? He was Like.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
How did he get that much? Say so as a
manager though.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
But mind you, my mom this is new to us,
so it's not like she knew what was going on
and like finding out after we left him, finding out like, wait,
my YouTube makes money?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Where I putting out this video that.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Got finding out? You guys didn't know.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
No, we didn't know. I didn't know that YouTube made money.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
So did your parents either, No, they saw all those views,
but you knew how many views it was getting. Yeah,
so wait back up. This is the thing that scares
me about the industry right here, because people always come
up to me and my daughter and they always like,
put her in the industry, And I'm like, there's something
that goes on when you have a young kid in
the industry where at some point management or something intervenes
and they separate the parents from the child.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
That's what was Like they were trying to do.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah, that's like they would be in my ear like
this is when like I'm on tour for like radio
ones and be in my ear and they'll be like yeah,
like when you start making money, like don't give any
to your mom, like that's yours, Like she shouldn't be
getting anything. They would like try to just take me
and leave my mom home, like tell my mom like
(19:46):
in her ear, like, oh, you need to go home,
like with your husband and your other kids, like just
leave her with us.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
No, no, thank you, We're not doing that.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
You did your mom say that?
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah? She said no for sure, Like.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
There was never part a time where she release the reins.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
No, my mom never left me, like since I turned.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Eighteen was the like recently the first time that my
mom didn't go with me out of town. Like now
that I'm older, I can travel you know by myself
and things like that, but like she never left my side, Okay,
and I'm glad she didn't because God knows what.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah, you never know.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Let me tell you. It happens with the boys too,
but they don't tell you know. If you look at
the history of like mindless behavior, be two k.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Like when I was younger. I opened up for them
their concert.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Oh really which one mindless wer b two.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
K mindless behavior.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, whatever happened. But a lot of those kids, a
lot of bad stuff happens because the parents like aren't there.
Look at Justin Bieber happened to him, Like they just
release and let go. But I I think it happens
more so to the boys than the girls for some
shrage reason. People just I guess think the little boys
are safe, but they're usually not exactly so at this show,
(21:10):
is that the moment where your parents and you start
to say something's wrong with this management team, when they
start to just say they don't allow your parents to
come backstage and all that.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, what's crazy is after that show happened, we never
talked to them ever again, like ever, Like they just
cut all communication. So it's like, okay, now we have
to get into my YouTube channel and all of this
through the label. And then that's when we figure out like, oh,
I was making money whole time. My manager had put
like his bank information in and shit like that in
(21:44):
the back end of YouTube, so it was all going
to him.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
So you actually get the log and you start to
see how much money he's making. Now at the time,
how much money were you making in comparison to how
much he was making.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
I wasn't making anything.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
And he but wait, when you were on tour, you
weren't making anything.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
I mean, they didn't give me no money.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
This man tells you, hey, what do you make money?
Don't give it to your parents? And the whole time
he had.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
The whole time I was making money, but he was
taking it. Yeah, to the point like we're on we're
on the road like for tour, and I'm wondering, Like
when I first met them, you know, they were wearing
like Target outfits, Target T shirts, stopping at Target, and
now we're stopping at Chanel.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
But they're leaving me and my mama in a car
while they're going into Chanelle buying bags and shit. And
I'm like, no way.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
We were just you know, at Target, buying Target underwear
and now we're at Chanelle.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
And are you and your mom like financially kind of
being frugal at the time to make things work because
she gave up your job or.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I mean, like we would, okay, we would.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Get like You're like, I don't like that stove.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
It was not working. We would get what is it
called perms? You know what that is?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Yeah? Yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It was just looking back, it's all janky. It's so
janky now that I'm realizing telling the story. We would
get per diems and I think we would get like
fifty dollars a day for like food or something. Maybe
it was one hundred whatever, but it's coming from the label,
going to my manager then coming to us.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So he would.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Pocket twenty five of the fifty off of each of
my mom, me and my mom, so then he would
so he would take that and we would only get
like twenty five dollars each to eat every day.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
And I'm guessing your parents probably thought this is like
what the normal role to success is, right, Yeah, because
even though even though you are selling out shows and
have over seventy million views in millions of followers on social.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Media, yeah crazy.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So did the record label when did the record label
find out all this was happening.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Once we parted ways with the Innager? It is when
they found out because like the CEO of the label,
like he just trusted the guy and like, you know,
let him handle everything.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
So it was like, so if he made all that money, right,
it's safe to assume that he made a bulk of
the money, because I'm after you hit that peek on YouTube.
The rest is like the lesser growing right of views.
I would imagine.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
What do you mean, Like like he made a bulk
of the money up front said that first video had
seventy million views, Right, so he made a bulk of
the money on that video.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
Right, But it still calculates money.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
So you're still making money every day off that same video.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Yeah, but I'm not getting now anyway, So why girl?
Why so much?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
No? How you got the counts, you got the accounts
to do what the record label say that you have
to recoup or something.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
No, but I had signed to a different layer. It
was three hundred right you Entertainment in the label I
had signed to them, and like they were.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I don't even know if I could say this, but
I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Tell you they were taking all my money from songs
that I didn't even make with them as well. So
I have the manager, I have the manager taking money
and then the label's taken all the money.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Right, Like I'm traumatized. I don't want to sign.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
I don't want to sign nothing because it's like, damn like,
everything I've signed has just went wrong on wrong.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It's just terrible. So then so then so you sign
a new deal and they're taking money off the songs
that you did not make with them.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Yeah, and they were taking it for seven years.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Did you know that or did you find out after
the seven years?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
No, we ended up finding out, but.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Once like I left them, they were still taking it
when they were supposed to stop.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Girls, First of all, they shouldn't have been taken it
to begin with if they didn't make the songs with you.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I know, but my manager had gave up the rights
to my song.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So the previous manager. Yeah, okay, but wouldn't they go
back to you if he gave up the rights to
the songs?
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Well, this is another thing.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
This is so fucked this.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
This is another thing.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
There's a lot of money we're talking about. We're not
talking about a little bit of money.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Yeah, he you know, like you put like your name's
down for like publishing, Yeah, on a song. Yeah, he
didn't put my name down at all, so he put
his instead as like the writer and shit.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
In your original contract, did it say he could do
all this?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Girl?
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I don't even remember the original contract, Like do your parents.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Do your parents ever talk about it? Because you were
very young at the time, so I understand you not knowing,
But at some point did they start to be like, hey.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, my mom started to be like, hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah, But I mean we didn't get any answers because
the CEO of the label didn't know what was going
on because he didn't handle his business.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
He put it in the hands of who was managing me.
So yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
It's crazy the whole time you're working as any of this.
Does it cause you to not want to do business
with or or should not want to be in the industry.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
It doesn't make me not want to be in the industry,
but it makes me just not trust people.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Yeah, I wouldn't. I don't trust I wouldn't trust an adult,
to be honest.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I just don't trust nobody. I feel like everybody just
be doing me dirty.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So it's actually pretty sad to be honest.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Are you supposed to fold those in the pot? Are
you supposed to fold those like that out? Is that
how you do it at home? I fold it out? Okay,
Oh sh.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Let me not burn myself.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
These look good by the way, keep making them, keep
making them. I want at least two or three of
these bad all right, So then you lose money on
the first contract with the first manager, you lose. But
at this point you do have control.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Of your YouTube. Yeah, I have control of my YouTube now.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Okay, and so all your social media, all of your
social media for sure, social.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Media for sure. Everything is me everything.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And what is your mom and your dad saying during
all of these transitions?
Speaker 3 (28:39):
I my dad really like he doesn't know like the
business side for real, Like he only knows like what
we tell him basically, and like when we tell him,
he's still just like, don't understand it. But my mom,
I think he's old.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
But of course all kids think their parents.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
What's older or younger to you? I thought they were
one hundred, what's like older to you?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I'm just saying, were they like a older you know
how like I think DC young flock. He said his
parents were like sixty or something.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
When they know my parents didn't hit sixty yet.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, there's a lot to go through. And your mom
just is not really updating him, or he's just like
I don't fully understand it.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
No, he just doesn't understand it. It's like we tell him,
but he just don't understand. Okay, Yeah, this story is
a long.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Do you still have a Do you have a manager currently?
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
You just said you don't trust people.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I don't, but we trust her.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I trust her with my life actually.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Really Yeah, Okay, shout out to the manager. I know
you're in the building, but damn these stories are very traumatic.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
So but my mom is also my manager as well.
She's a monitor.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yes, so I tellt what your mom. She was very polite,
very nice, she knew your stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So yeah, yeah she's okay.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
So you have like two managers. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I just feel like my mom will always be a
part of like managing me, just because she's been there
for so long, know what I've gone through, and she's
my mom.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Like no one is gonna have like.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Have my back as much as her, course, you know,
because she's my mom. Like that's just how it is.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah, she believes you from day one and always asked
you if this is what you want to do, then
she rode with it.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, So how who supports your family?
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Now?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
What do you mean, like, is your mom back working?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
She's not back working? Well she is working because she
works for me. Yeah yeah, but yeah her and my
daughter back at home.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Now, okay, so are you is I don't want to
be as delicate as humanly possible with you, Brooklyn, But
would you say that technically you are.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
The taking care of the family.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yeah, yeah, okay, And how do you feel about that?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I mean, it doesn't bother me.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Does it ever feel stressful?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Yes? For sure?
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Do you feel like I feel like.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
It's like I don't have no kids and I gotta
work like I got six kids, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
What I mean.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
But I would do anything for my family of course,
like the clothes off my back, they can have it,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
So, like, and I know where I'm going. I feel
like I.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Know where I'm going to be in the next let's
say two years or five years whatever, Like I know
that I'm going to be in a great situation. So
I mean, I would be taking care of my family
for the rest of my life if I could, Like
if nobody wanted to do anything and just sit on
their ass, even though like y'all, like I'm talking to.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
The little brothers, get on your shit, but like.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
I would still take care of y'all, Like we talk
all the time, and they're like, Brooklyn, when you get
like a mansion whatever, we're going to be over there.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
And I'm like, oh, that's fine, but what are you
gonna do with like what do you want to be?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
You know, like, yeah, because there's a there's a especially
when they're that young or younger, you know, there's that
thin line where you become an enabler, and that enabler
residual effect is a lot more painful than you could imagine,
you know, because that's a lot of pressure as a
as a young person, because you're also pursuing your dreams
in an industry that's very fick on. So would you say,
(32:22):
you're you're all the smoky your business documents, we go
smoke it out.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
How is it about thirty sway?
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Okay, that's good. You made enough tackles to feed us.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, well you say you want to like two or three,
but when you try.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
To what's the day in the life of you right now?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
A day in the life of me right now? Well
we're in La right now.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Yeah, and I had to come out here to film
my podcast Girl Talk.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Sure, I go check it and drop what girl Talk
talks about.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Girl Talk is basically.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
When you watch it, you just feel like you're there
with us talking about We literally talk about everything everything
you can imagine when it comes to boys, it comes
to parents, periods, like deep conversations like we just did
an episode called Losing People, and you know, we're just
talking about like people that we've lost in our life
(33:21):
and stuff like that. We it's just like a wide
variety of like everything, any topic you can think of,
we talk about it.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I know you guys also talk about mental health, we do.
Are you familiar with Alicia Bernie rest in Peace? No.
Alicia Bernie. She was on our show. She was a
young influencer, started around the same age as you. She
just recently passed from like an asthma attack.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
What.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
I don't even know if I should talk about this,
but one of the things that I noticed when she
was on our show is she talked about how being
an influencer, she was very lonely. It was something that
she actually was like there are times around very lonely
or I feel alone. And she also had a lot
(34:07):
of the same responsibilities as you. She passed way too young,
but that was something that was like an underlying. If
you watch the episode, you'd see like it was a
very personal thing that she was constantly dealing with even
when she came it came to dating. She says she
couldn't trust if dudes were with her because of that.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Or because of who she is. Yeah, I understand that
for sure.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
That's crazy though, which side the dudes or just being
like semi alone or lonely.
Speaker 3 (34:36):
I thank god I don't ever feel like I'm alone
because I have a really good, like support system.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I have a lot of good.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
People around me when it comes to I won't even
say just guys, but just people in general. You never
know if somebody's coming into your life genuinely because they
just want to be cool with you and they like
you as a person, or if they're coming in your
life because they can.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Benefit off of you in some type of way.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, you know, and I've experienced that so many times.
Like it, whether it's someone trying to talk to me
or someone trying to be my best friend, they just
want to eat off of you, and you don't realize
it because at the time it's like, oh, like this
is my best tee, Like we're doing everything together, Like
I love you whatever, but then they do some crazy
(35:25):
shit to you and it's like, damn.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Like you were never genuine.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I saw a clip online, oh, snap of me. I
saw a clip online. Oh my god. You were talking
about something to the likes of like you were dating
a guy, a young man that cheated on you. And
I think you said in the clips matter of fact,
you finish it, but he cheated on you a lot. Okay, right,
(35:49):
And did you say I want to say this, please
don't embarrass me if I said this wrong, But I
think you said, like your friend hooked up with him
in your bed. Yeah, yes, that's a traumatic experience, is
it was crazy? How did you find out? You didn't
like walk in and see that? Right?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
No, if I would have walked in, I would have
Oh my god, I don't know what I would have done.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I don't know what someone would do in that situation.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
That's like because betrayal, No, for sure, it's it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
That's the best friend for how long?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
I want to say, like.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
Maybe like a year or like she wasn't like childhood
best friend, but like everyone on social media just labeled
us as best friends, and like it was slowly becoming
that because we were like she lived with me.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
It was like we were around each other at the time.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
But previously to that, we came I met her through
someone that I don't really mess with, and that like
got mad that we were friends, and then like we
started beefing with them to the point like we were
making distracks and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
But anyway, we're not gonna talk about him.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
So, like we go back to Detroit for I think
it was we went back to Detroit for his birthday
ex boyfriend. Okay, I went back for his birthday. When
you said she was with you, she came with me, Okay,
so she knows, like, okay, this is I mean, we
weren't dating at the time, but like that was my ex,
(37:19):
my first love, my first everything.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
So it usually means off limits, yeah, anytime if it's
an ex boyfriend not talking about I mean, some people
share casualties, but if it has that label of like boyfriend, husband, fiance,
it's usually typically a no fly zone.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Yeah, off limits for sure. So then like Sinkle to
Mile comes and she was about to go home. I
should have just let the bitch go home, Oh my god,
but I'm like, no, you should stay, like it's Sinkle
to Mayo like we're my family's Mexican, Like we're.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Gonna eat tacos and people a gonna be drinking tequila, Like, yeah,
you should stay.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
She ends up staying and Sinkle to my O. Night.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
I got into it with the boyfriend because he was
texting a girl in my house and I'm like, how
are you going to be sitting next to me texting somebody?
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Like what are you done?
Speaker 3 (38:10):
So he was texting the girl whatever, and we got
into it. And when I let my best friend at
the time stay in my room because like, you know,
like you can have your privacy whatever, you can have
my room. So I was laying on the couch and
when I was sleep on the couch is when the
whole thing happened. Mind you, there's a wall between me
(38:31):
and the in my bedroom. So I'm sleeping on the
couch and I wake up to him crying in my
face and.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
I'm just crying in your face.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yes, on his knees, like boohooing, And I'm just sitting
there like I'm thinking he's crying because I just cussed
him out over the girl texting.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
The whole time he was crying.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
Because he knows that he just did something terrible, right,
I don't find out until two weeks later. The girl
comes to.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Me and Sae, you didn't find out till two weeks later.
You didn't ask Hi why he was crying.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Because I didn't care, Like, yeah, like, you're not about
to talk to you, but I'm not talking.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
To I don't care. You didn't care what I was crying.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
Know what he was crying about? So then what do
you mean you found out two weeks later what happened.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
The girl had ended up telling me when we were
out back in l a and she was like, I
have to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
You're gonna be mad. I'm like, what, Like, why am
I gonna be mad? She was like, you know, like
it involves someone you love, and I'm just thinking.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
I'm thinking in the back of my head, like who
is she? What is she about to say to me
right now? But then she flips the story. I'm not
gonna say.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
She flips the story.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Her side of the story is that he came in
the room and sexually assaulted her and put his private
areas in her mouth. Mind you, she has braces. There's
no way that somebody can just yeah, you're sleeping. There's
she's sleeping, is what she says.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
And I'm like what.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I was so depressed, so bad, like throwing up every day,
like start like I'm the victim.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
Yeah, okay, So when do you find out the truth?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
When I go back to Detroit and he knocks on
my door and two in the morning and he tells
me like, no, this is what actually happened.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Did she come on to him? I'm just genuinely.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Curious, of course, Right, yes she did.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
She's fired officially, Right, she's officially fired and banned from
the club.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Right, Yes, she's gone.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Okay, I would never be able to sign another contract again.
We're in the age where you can like do everything
independently now, yeah, so are you leaning more towards independent now?
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (40:32):
I'm not signing nothing unless it's life changing. Like, I'm
not gonna sign anything unless I'm gonna be straight for
the rest of my life and my grandkid's grandkids.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Are gonna be straight for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
You know, how do you screen people for dating? Now
you're dating, you're in another relationship, art.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
You hold on, hold on, I know I'm not, I
am not, I am not.
Speaker 1 (41:03):
You better not be. I feel like if I were
to date again, I would need do you know how
when you go? Well, you wouldn't know because you've been
successful since you were a teeny bopper, But I would.
I would at least do reference checks, like you'd have
to give me a couple of ex girlfriends numbers. I'm sorry, buddy.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Oh no, that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
You're no, I'm totally after everything you've been through. No, nah, bro,
we had to do some kind of background checks. Is
that toxic or is that being extra cautious?
Speaker 2 (41:35):
I think that's crazy you do.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
No, I haven't done it. I'm still married.
Speaker 2 (41:39):
Oh how long have you been married?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Long enough to know that marriage is no? Long enough
to know that don't do it?
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Ladies? Okay, so don't get married? Can I see this? Also?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah? See see? You're making me sound like a what
is it, a pestimist? A pessimist person. So you're out
there dating? Okay? Cool? You trust the world again? No?
Speaker 3 (41:58):
No, no, no, that doesn't mean that I don't trust everybody
like you know.
Speaker 2 (42:04):
It's just like they thank you.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
I've dated since that relationship okay, which I got cheated
on too, But like everybody, I talk like it cheated on.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Yeah, maybe I'm the problem. No, no, you're not. You
know what, I'll tell you something I had to learn
because my husband cheated.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
He cheated like nobody's business.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Why'd you stay like.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
I'm I'm a little No, I'm I no. No. If anything,
I advise the younger you are, the least you should
put up with. But I stayed because I you know,
I have a daughter, and I believe in the old
school family things. Well not that, and I do love them,
but I do realize that like when people cheat, it's
(42:46):
usually them, not you, because the women always think it's
like maybe the girls better or maybe I did something,
or maybe I wasn't. Most people that cheat are usually
serial cheaters. And even if they are serial cheaters, it's
up to them to change on their own time and
on a cord if they ever. Do you know, there's
no perfect you can ever make a cheat or not cheat.
(43:07):
You know, I just think allmend cheat. What does your
dad say?
Speaker 2 (43:13):
What about cheating? Yeah, I don't think he's ever. He's
never cheated on my.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Mom, But what what does he say.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Like when I get cheated on?
Speaker 1 (43:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:21):
Oh I don't even you.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Don't talk to him about it.
Speaker 3 (43:24):
No, why my dad will go beat somebody up back
and I still love you.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
I don't want you to give me up.
Speaker 1 (43:29):
That's hilarious. All right here? Why you only take take
one taco?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
What could I make sure it's good?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Okay, let's see these tacos and your place. It's smoking
in here. Okay, guys, look at these good tacos. She
hooked me up.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Good trench baby tacos.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
There we go, all right, and we got the hug drinks.
I'm going to force Brooklyn to drink some of this. Brooklyn.
By the way, I love your chain, like I need
that chain, the Brooklyn chain. It's so nice. I want
to get one with my name. I'll let you know
the jeweler, let me know, let me know. All right,
here we go. Let's see cheers.
Speaker 2 (44:08):

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Oh you could? They have the little puffiness and them.
I love that. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
I'm never gonna eat corn tortilla's again. It's like it's perfect.
So you put a lot of oil in it. You
know what? These are good with tacos? You She was
hanging on her own drink.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Listen, I used to drink these when I was little, Like,
this will not be my choice of drink today, but.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
You know that's where I grew up. One.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
These taco shells are amazing.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Yes, because my Mexican's are like, comeing out.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Do you just do only vegetabil Do you do butter too?
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Just vegetables?
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Why?
Speaker 2 (45:02):
I don't know. That's just how I learned how to
do it.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
Okay, you're too good. I'm so glad you made a bunch. Okay,
all right, so now we know broken good cook and
she's still optimistic. I do think I think to go
kind of what you said. I do think that a
(45:23):
good percentage of men cheat, But I do think there's
some people that don't.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
No, yeah for sure. But everyone I've dealt with cheated,
So that's why I think that.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Well, so let's talk about your career. Okay, so what's
on your goal list for your career? Chuckles are so
good at home, I'm gonna take an eat break.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Yeah, let's just let's just.
Speaker 1 (45:52):
No one does it like that, because the way you
did it was like a puffy pastry type. Is that
how your mom does it?
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah? Well, I learned from my aunt. That's the way
to do it.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
I've seen people like lightly do it on each side,
but I did not know you can get that like
puffy pastry type. It's so good. Is that that must
be how they make chilupa's then.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Right, yeah? Or like you know what the toastata is.
Speaker 3 (46:18):
Yeah, like we'll we'll make a toastada like that as well,
Like we'll just fry it a little bit hard, don't
fold it, and then like put the beans, the meat
and like all.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
The topics the oh that's a bowl.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
Oh yeah, like the taco shell.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, let me tell you something best, hands down, I'm
gonna make tacos like this, probably send some pictures online.
You have to have you ever done that with eggs
and like breakfast?
Speaker 3 (46:45):
Actually I have, but I made it like a toastarle
like it was flat, and then I would fry the
tortilla and then put it just leave it in the pan,
crack the egg on top and fry the egg so
it like sticks the tortilla, and then put like avocado
and tomato so and peppery.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
That I'm doing that, Oh and some lime juice with
lime juice. Yes, really, yes, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
Do you keep the egg running or firm.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
I guess it just depends on my mood.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
So you don't flip it though. You don't flip the
tortilla over.
Speaker 3 (47:17):
No, I just would like take a spoon and like
get the oil and like splash it on the egg
to cook the top of the egg.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Okay, Okay, I got it. Yeah, But if you want
it flat, the tortilla down, fry it and then put
the egg on after I fried both slides and then
let it cook on the pot. Yeah, avocado, seasoning, avocado
and a little bit of lemon.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
That sounds amazing, amazing.
Speaker 2 (47:39):
Okay, So you would cook, okay, bro, I am a chef.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
One of the things I do want to talk about
is I I have gone.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
To Detroit, Okay, and Detroit is why were you there
first before?
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Because I told you to hoby Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (47:52):
So when I go to Detroit, it's you know, if
I'm from New York, I live in LA. It used
to big cities, a lot of progress. When I go
to Detroit, it's always conflicting emotions for me because it's
like house bomb, bomb, house, bomb, neighborhood bomb, bomb, bomb.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
House, what do you mean bomb?
Speaker 1 (48:11):
Meaning like a house that's been abandoned. Oh okay, And I
always wonder, like how strong you have to be to
get past that type of environment, like to look past it.
Speaker 3 (48:23):
So where my mom grew up, it was like a
little house on Stout, you know, it's the name of
the street. And back in the day there was like
all houses. Now if we drive.
Speaker 2 (48:35):
Through there, if I took you, it would just look
like a field of grass and then a house and
then a field, like all the houses are burned down,
like gone, you know what I mean. My dad he
grew up on like the better side of the hood,
so where it was like the all nice brick houses
and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (48:52):
But like I I wasn't there enough to really experience that,
like the bandit houses.
Speaker 1 (49:02):
But even in the nice state neighborhoods, so like I've
been to like Indian Head Village or I don't know
if you know where that is. It's like where it's
like a nice it's I think, I don't know, but
it's like it's like a bunch of nice houses, maybe
like three good blocks, and then outside of those three
good blocks it looks kind of crazy. Yeah, are you
(49:22):
saying that where you lived in Detroit. You didn't see
the house field.
Speaker 3 (49:28):
Yeah, no, I mean I see it now like when
I ride through or like you go over there, But
where I live.
Speaker 1 (49:34):
It's not It's not like that I need to go
where you live.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
I'm trying to tell you the west side, the west Side.
Speaker 1 (49:40):
I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3 (49:40):
The west side is the best side, like no, no tin,
no shade, like the east side. Y'all are just the
east side. I always say east side people like not
even just the people, just east side in Gymeral's just dirty.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
Okay, there's there a lot of people commenting on this.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
No, and I say this all the time.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
It's like.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
The west side is just better, like we are just that.
Speaker 3 (50:04):
But let somebody from anywhere else, like not in Michigan.
Let somebody from anywhere else say anything about the west Side.
Then the east Side and the west we come together. Okay,
let y'all say some about the east Side. We're gonna
come together. So when it comes to Detroit, we joined forces.
But when it's in Detroit, like we're like, no, the
west side.
Speaker 2 (50:25):
I just think the west side is better. I gotta
take you over there.
Speaker 1 (50:27):
Well, there's a lot of great things that come out
of Detroit. Okay, there's a lot of great entrepreneurs that
come out of Detroit. We've met a lot of great
people out of Detroit.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (50:35):
Go on back to this new documentary on Netflix call
what is it called Bad Influence something. When you're a
young influencer, did you feel a lot of pressure to
post all the time and to constantly drop content all
the time? Was there like a hidden pressure there?
Speaker 2 (50:52):
No, because I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (50:54):
It didn't feel like, oh, you gotta post this, you
gotta do this, you gotta do that, because I just
like to post and give people what they want to see.
So for me, it wasn't really that of course, like
my mom would be like, you didn't post your TikTok like.
Speaker 2 (51:10):
Till this day, my mom, I'm probably.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
A text on my phone right now, like why didn't
you post TikTok yet? But it's like, now it's my job,
like I have to post TikTok even though I still
enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
You know, it's just work now, you know.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah, So you do you scroll on social media the
way people that aren't influencers scroll on media or social media?
Are you just looking to see what the responses are.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
Oh no, I'm on there like twenty four seven.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
Really, Like, if we're just hanging out like normal day,
you're gonna see me on my phone scrolling both phones
in the hand, scrolling.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Why do you have two phones?
Speaker 3 (51:45):
Because I have recently just got a new one, but
like I still have all my old stuff on the
other phone.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
So like, you know, I get a chance to have.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
I mean I did, but like I don't want to
give rid of my phone.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
I'm never I never give out. You know what I
do is I'll buy a new phone, I'll tell them
to transfer it, and then I take my old phone
and I keep the boxes of all the old phones.
It sounds weird, and I just put it back in
the box and I just shelve it because sometimes I
have like contacts in an old phone and they never
transfer them over or videos or pictures, so I just
keep the old phone. I have like a little museum
(52:19):
of phones in my house. It's like a little cabinet
that just has like a million phones.
Speaker 2 (52:23):
That sounds like hoarding, though it's not because.
Speaker 1 (52:25):
The phones are like this big. They're like this big.
But wait, you walk around with two phones?
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Well, yeah, I need it.
Speaker 1 (52:34):
No, you said, you don't.
Speaker 2 (52:37):
What I need both of them, and then like, how.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
Am I hoard when you need two phones and you
only one person?
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Because I'm not keeping the phone and just leaving them
in a box, I'm actually using them.
Speaker 1 (52:50):
You are nineteen now, Yeah, you've had at least five phones? Okay? Yeah,
so where are you put in other phones?
Speaker 3 (52:56):
I would like give them to my brother and he
would like get his phone turned on. And at the
ex boyfriend who cheated on me with my best friend,
he didn't have a phone because he was from the
east Side.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
And broke and I had to give him a phone.
Speaker 3 (53:09):
Yeah, it was chanting on me with the phone that
I gave him. Like what that's that's typical.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
That's typical.
Speaker 1 (53:16):
He's from the east Side. Yes see, maybe it's the
east side.
Speaker 2 (53:19):
The Troy is the east Side thing.
Speaker 1 (53:21):
I'm trying to It's really Easide Okay, okay, So what
other things do you have going on that we should
be looking forward to? Brooklyn?
Speaker 3 (53:29):
Well girl talk of course we drop every Wednesday every
week every Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (53:35):
Are you independent? Are you signed to iHeart or anybody nowhere?
Speaker 2 (53:38):
Are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (53:39):
Like the whole podcast we're with W M. E. After
everything that happened, do you feel like you're more trench
starting to pay attention to the business side of course, Like.
Speaker 3 (53:50):
I am getting older and want to know, like the
business behind everything. Like I want to be looking at
the contracts even though I might not understand everything in it,
but it's good for me to read it and try
to understand. And if I don't understand, go look it
up to figure out what it is. You know, Like
I'm getting older to the point my mom's not always
going to be by my side. I need to learn
(54:11):
how to do everything on my own.
Speaker 1 (54:13):
Yeah, you know, but you don't ever sign a contract
without her semi glancing at it now.
Speaker 3 (54:18):
Ye know, there's always a lawyer in her looking at it. Okay,
and then we'll have like someone else who we know,
like knows business look over it to make sure, you know,
like we're very careful.
Speaker 1 (54:27):
Now, okay, very careful, and all all accounts now lead
to you. Yeah, I a man, good job.
Speaker 2 (54:33):
Okay, we're doing good.
Speaker 1 (54:35):
We're doing good.
Speaker 2 (54:36):
We're doing good.
Speaker 1 (54:37):
But yeah, and I only say that because hearing your story,
it's very scary, but it's very real. It happens to
a lot of people. You know, but your success was
also monumental, so to not be able to capitalize off
that it's kind of sucky.
Speaker 2 (54:51):
Yeah, it's crazy now.
Speaker 1 (54:53):
Sorry, what else are you? What else are we talking about?
Speaker 2 (54:56):
Any note tours right now? Music? For sure.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
I've been working on a lot of new music which
should be coming out very soon. We're just trying to
figure out, like what song is the best next song.
Speaker 2 (55:07):
To put out. I recently just got done filming a
TV series. Okay, that's exciting.
Speaker 3 (55:15):
It's it's called Southwest and it's a show based on
a high school in Detroit, and the producers are Jalen Rose,
Dennis Reid, and thy Mopkins.
Speaker 2 (55:28):
They're all from Detroit.
Speaker 3 (55:29):
Jalen Rose is a former basketball player, which you probably know,
but he's in the show and I play his daughter
in the show.
Speaker 2 (55:36):
Okay, I can't tell you.
Speaker 3 (55:37):
Like exactly like the whole plot, of course, but I
think it's gonna be like one of the biggest TV
shows out.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
When is it releasing?
Speaker 2 (55:46):
Not sure? We didn't even like this. I'm really letting
it all be known right now, you know.
Speaker 3 (55:53):
So we don't know when exactly it's coming out yet,
but you will be seeing more.
Speaker 2 (55:58):
Of it like I'll be dropping a trailer soon.
Speaker 1 (56:00):
And you like acting?
Speaker 2 (56:01):
I love acting.
Speaker 1 (56:02):
Do you like music more than acting or acting more
than music?
Speaker 2 (56:05):
I like music more than acting.
Speaker 1 (56:07):
Okay, I figured music's your first love. It is, okay,
all right. Any advice would you give to anybody coming
up in the game on the just the young person's side.
Speaker 3 (56:20):
Don't trust everybody, Do not trust everybody. All I would say,
follow your dream and don't let anyone get in the
way of your dream. Don't let anyone tell you differently
about yourself. If you know, like like I can do this,
I believe in myself, then you can do it.
Speaker 2 (56:40):
Don't let anyone try to stop you. And that's that's
what I say.
Speaker 1 (56:45):
With those first managers, they were they one hundred percent
believed in you. Do you think that the power is
what changed the dynamic of that relationship or do you
think that they were like that from the jump?
Speaker 2 (56:59):
I believe that they could have been like that from
the jump, and just was I had a mask over it,
you know, because I don't.
Speaker 1 (57:07):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (57:08):
I just feel like, if you can do somebody dirty,
you're You've always just been that type of person, and
just do somebody dirty.
Speaker 2 (57:13):
You know like nothing changes.
Speaker 1 (57:16):
Yeah, I definitely agree with that. Like, if I see
you act a certain way with somebody, if I see
people talk behind people's back when I have a role,
I have to exit the conversation because I don't want
to be a part of the problem of it.
Speaker 2 (57:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (57:30):
But two, I always feel like, okay, if that's how
you talk about other people, Like yeah, so I've always
been like that since I was young. But I see
somebody doing that, I'm like, Oh, that's how they move,
and that's how they move. Okay, Okay, I know I'm
not above it. All right, Well, thank you guys for
tuning in to another episode of Eating While Broke. This
