Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
You know what's great about you, Pretty V is that
like you're not like the pretty that comes before the

Yeah, yeah, we know that. You know music is you know,
music runs deep in your family. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
And so we want to get into that because what
we feel like is that R and B is not
It's not one dimensional. It's not It's not just about
the people who do it, who write it, sing it,
or produce it. It's also about the people who are
affected and influenced by it, who use it.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
Yeah, yeah, all them dance moves you be doing on account.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Too. Yes, So let's get into let's get into where
where we're a little bit into where pretty V comes from.
Let's start at the beginning where you're from. What is
to talk about?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Miami?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
You know?

Speaker 7 (03:02):
Day?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, County a day.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
And then moved to Broward and then I transitioned.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
My mom got married and moved to the Carolina, South Carolina,
and then I spent the rest of my high school there.
And then I moved from South Carolina and went to Rayleigh,
North Carolina, where I studied communication at Santagustine University HBCU
and all four years major with communications. And after that
I decided, like go back to Miami and figure this
thing out, you know, like what's going on. Then after that,
depression came because I was trying to figure out like

(03:28):
what God wanted me to do. And I was that
girl in college. And when you have that sauce coming
out in the raal wad, you're like, well where I
started at, I was lit in college.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
Now I ain't lit outside of that.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
So I got to figure it out and I applied
to so many jobs, radios and just trying to host stuff,
just doing so much and it didn't work out of
my favor. So I had to be still and hear
from God in Miami, and then I went back home
that adn't worked there, and then I went back to
South Carolina to see my mom and you know her
being a pastor, you know, speaking life into me, but
I still wasn't hearing her. And then you know, I
got a call to do promotions at a radio station

(03:58):
in Charlotte, so I moved there with my sister. And
then after that I got let off from that job
because it was like a seasonal job, you know. And
then after that I had my own radio show called
The VXO Show, where we you know, talk about current
events and entertainment and all.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
That city Charlotte and Charlotte, Charlotte.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
And then I got viral in that season too. I
think it was twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. I was fighting
myself in the street. I was like, like, pokemon, I
saw all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, I saw yeah, yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
My best friend was like, girl, just do something so
you can go viral. And I was just like, girl,
what what's like?

Speaker 3 (04:29):
What made you think that?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Though, like, well she thought of it. My best friend Anika,
and then I just act on it and then we
were just outside pulling my hand and I was like okay.
Then everybody, all the blogs had it like ball alert.
Shade was like okay, we lit. But then I was like,
you still broke, So what's going on?

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Your job?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
How trans Yeah? Lit into right?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
How we turned funny into money at this point? Right?

Speaker 5 (04:51):
So I got a I got a call from Arnold Teil.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Were you funny before that?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (04:57):
For sure?

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Where did you know you were fun?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Middle school? Middle school? I knew that it was something special.
My mom already told me when I before I went
to high school. She said, God said, you're gonna be
in the arts. I'm like, is it gonna be painting?
Like what do you mean by the arts?

Speaker 5 (05:09):
And then she's like no, no, no, no, what's you good at?
Making people laugh?

You know? Healing their days? You know, I'm the type
of girl child went before the cookout. Y'all gotta call
me like please, what be at? Because she gonna start
this party up. They wait on me to start the party.
So I knew it was something. And me being in
elementary school and middle school, I used to always get
called from the back of the front of the classroom,
you know. So it's just like it was something and
I was trying to figure what was Then I thought

(05:32):
it was radio. I was like, let me use my voice.
All through college, from my sophomore year onto graduating, I
had my own show called The Lounge twenty two. I
had radio. I was at, you know, programming the AM
radio station at Saint oh So I knew it was
something like what is it? So then I transitioned from
being from the back to the front and wanted to
act and wanted.

Speaker 8 (05:49):
To get into the comedian side.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
So yeah, it was a very familiar name.

Speaker 1 (05:54):

a Charlotte after you said you was trying to figure
out how to take funny to money.

the entertainment industry. I didn't care what. I didn't know

nother level. Now no longer is employed.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
And in the midst of that, you know, me booking
for the baby and going to different colleges because you know,
my mom worked at Allen University. He had connections at
Benedict College in South Carolina. Then I had my connections
in Raleigh and Charlotte and he fired me. Arnold was
just like, you you're too focused on comedy. This is
not where you want to be. Because I was. I

(07:53):
was doing his work, but I was so late doing
it because I was working out, working on my skits,
and I'm like, can to apply for radio jobs? And
He's like, you're just not focus here, and I think
you need to go go pursue what you're trying to pursue.
And in that moment he pushed me to great. Yeah,
yeah it was.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
It wasn't a fire to get angry at Arnold.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
It was like thank you. So at that time, John,
which is the baby, he called me and was like, Yo,

not all Arnold Arnold, no way. We have the Goons
with us too.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Yeah. We love arn And that's my that's my story
coming into this space. And then twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,
I moved by faith and moved from Charlotte to Atlanta
and our auditioned for a while and out live to
get on the show. I was like, said Carlos, I
said call it. This was my uncle, like cousin DC
was not like a friend that I knew.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Make it up to get in there.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
So my home at the time, she was like, girls,
say that because that's what got me in there. But
you know when you when you when you But this
is the thing. I got the audition that they said
come on right and then I was like, Okay, I
got these peanut mom skits. I got my ghetto girls skids,
I got my share on skins. They gonna they gonna
pick me like I'm funny for real. So I was
in front of Nile, I was in front of Dolly,
I was front of all these producers of the show.
They was like, do this or and say this, or

(09:28):
how would you do this if someone came to you
and did this. Then I'm like, I would do it
like this. They were laughing. But then I didn't get
a call back right like they didn't want me, but
be some own got it, just hilarious, got it. Everybody
just moved. But I thought about it in that moment
as I got older, because that was when I was
like twenty five twenty six, I was like, when you're
doing it the right way, God is an honest God.

Speaker 8 (09:46):
You're not gonna give it to you when you lie.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Right, You don't need to lie to get in God
is honest, yo yo yo. Your transition, your season is
ordained when you are following God and knowing like it's
an honest season and a journey. Ain't got the lie
to get in the door when it's for you. It's
for you.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
You're I'm a preach.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Shout out to your mom, because give it to you.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
You got to lie, cher.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Come on to the actual preacher. Man what yeah, not
the lie.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
So I knew in that moment, I was all right,
it wasn't my season. But then twenty nineteen he called
me back. I didn't have to audition.

Speaker 8 (10:25):
And I've been on the show for eight nine seasons
now because.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
They do four seasons in one summer.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
Look and you know they will say you home the
day of the show, like y'all get a thanks real time?
Oh now does it?

Speaker 8 (10:40):
Nick don't care. Nick don't speak. He let the producers
do it.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Wild Out is a serious thing.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
It's a serious thing.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's a very serious thing.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I love it. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
We love the show.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
I've been on there twice. You know, I've been blessed
to be called a couple of times. I lied to
get on there with my comedic crowds. You know, as
I just stand up in all these things. They figured
out a way to turn for the money. I just

(11:13):
haven't taken the money. Money I'm supposed to get paid
money compared to my honest money.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yes, it was little but it was like, but for me,
it was like I wanted to take the long route.
So for me, it was about doing you know, the
laugh factories and improvs. And I wanted to take that route.
And when they were like, well, you know, they're looking
at me as tank and like, well, how much you
want to get paid? I don't get paid nothing. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. I'm just starting. I'm a
baby in this, you know what I'm saying. So like

(11:41):
when I get to a point to where it makes
sense to where these people are actually coming here for me,
because those two crowds are totally different. You know, I'm
in front of I'm doing stand up in front of
crowds that don't even know who I am. It's like
one person in the audience is like you know what
I'm saying, It's like give it up a tag, and.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
I'm like mm hmm.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
It's a different department, completely different department.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
And so that's what I had to, you know, build
my set around.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Yeah, we don't got no rider or nothing.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
I got nothing like no, no, no, fuck fuck you
talking about like management don't got no rider everything.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I'm here, buy my own.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Drinks and shit and chicken fingers.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
I'm like, I don't pay for chicken fingers.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I wasn't a guy.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
There's my artists up. I guess that's my artist.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, but you know, I'm glad I took the long route,
you know what I'm saying. I'm glad I was able to,
you know, get those reps in in front of people
who didn't know me, and I wasn't getting sympathy tank laughs.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
I really had to make those people laugh.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
So were you doing stand up before you got to
walling out?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
I was.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
I was doing stand up my friend at the time,
she took me on tour with her and Jess and
I think b was on it.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
But it was cool. It was fun, you know, I
think you know my my my fan was growing at
the time, so they knew how I was. But it
was still like, or do you want to do this?
Or do you want to host? Or do you want
to have your one woman show? Do you want to
have your skeed show? Like what are you trying to do?

Speaker 5 (13:09):
It was no booze. It was maybe like a look.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
It may be like a quiet vibe.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah, it was like did you sweat?

Speaker 5 (13:16):
I didn't sweat. It was just that that that that
pump of that.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Okay okay at the time and.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
You start flashing your own life.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Yeah, okay, time up.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well that's my time. Thank you man, y'all such a
great artist. I gotta get the out of here.

Speaker 9 (13:32):
Man.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
I got better.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
And then then I was like, okay, I could do hosting.
And then next day they switched the host and I
was able to host.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
So I'm like, oh, so you hop very smart. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
I was like, let's host because now when you know
your lane, I'm not. I'm not a grenad try so hard.
Like if that ain't for me, let's slide. Because this
world we live in, in life, you could dibble and
job and a whole bunch of different things. Like you
an artist, you tried stand up? You this you that
like you could try and see if it works for you.
So that's what I did. The same day, I said,
uh uh, get that mic up, I'm for the host. Yeah, yeah,

(14:03):
I ain't doing no fifteen of that.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
I loved it. I mean I love it still. Yeah,
of course you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
And I love stand up. I think it's dope. But
I also for like too, you could be creative in
your own way, because even when you do women shows,
you nervous up there too. You're gonna get the stairs,
You're gonna get like, can I go to the bathroom
right quick?

Speaker 1 (14:19):
You know.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
So it's more of those moments. So it's still preparing
you to be confident on stage whatever you do. You know,
as an artist, you sitting there and just you know.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I think my advantage is that I had so much
stage time to where the crowd couldn't really shake me
one way or the other. Like for me, it was
just about finding the thing that worked. And so like
I'd watched so many comedians build their sets to understand that, okay,

(14:51):
when the joke, When that joke didn't work, cool, and
they just get to the next one.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
See if that one works. It didn't work, it's get
the next one. That one works right there.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
And I watched them like, oh, so you're not here
to make everybody laugh in every joke. You're saying, you're
really here building the material and seeing where the moments are.
And then by the time you get up build all
of those moments after so many clubs and all of that,
now you got thirty forty minutes to an hour of
real shit storytelling and the story it's a I'm a storyteller,

(15:21):
I'm a songwriter.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
So by the time I got on Stay, I was like,
oh shit, if they want to just leave, I'm gonna
just look, take my shirt off and sing a song.
But I think that now, with you having so much
stage time under your belt, I feel like stand up
will be way different for you.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
I think it'll be way different for you. You know
what I'm saying, just in terms of your confidence and
even terms of your the material. You've been writing so
much up until this point to where you can dial
up so much shit it's a drop of a dime
and you'll kill them.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
So don't be scared of that special. Yeah, because we
would tune into a pretty be special.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Would you guys?

Speaker 6 (16:03):
Absolutely, I want to see all the characters. I'm seriously yeah,
because then you have your time to really you know.

Speaker 4 (16:13):
Just like go coming coming. I was gonna do my
first sketch show in a bucket theater doing the Mary J.
Bli Summit with Live Nation, but they kind of switched gears,
so it was okay because I know for me, when
that happens, that means I need to do it. The
VN a way, you know, and nothing was wrong with it.
It was just more of like, Okay, maybe that's the
timing they wanted, but I know my time and I

(16:33):
need to do it this way. So yeah, but I'm
gonna definitely do it and you know, throw you out
the invite.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
So let's let's pull back a little bit though, because
you know it's something you said that was very important
to me, figuring out the funny to the money, and.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Don't do that because I already done Google that, Google
Daddy Dad, and I don't already did all that. Shout
out to upon Crocket. Yeah, he gave me that. He
gave that thing.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Lawyer.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
So you on social media, yes, now you're on wild 'nout.
You donet went on the road a little bit. Have
you started making any money?

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (17:11):
I have now not Now I'm not talking about right now.
We're going back then, Yeah, we're going back, like what
is the process? Because I think a lot of people
look at social media and they think this person went viral.
They hit the lottery, of course, So I want you
to come and give us the process of even or

(17:32):
just the mindset of Okay, how do I turn this
funny moments viral thing into actually being able to pay
for my rent in my life. Yeah, like, what are
the what were the steps for you for me to
turn into something like financially No.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
For sure.

Speaker 8 (17:49):
So for me, prayer, consistency and just know who you are.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
That's what it is, right. But I was also in
a space of once I did all of that went on,
I ain't make no money on the road. Let's be
very clear. It was just more of like, all right, girl,
it's money out here, let me try. I did it
for three nights. Okay, cool, that ain't for me. When
I got on wild'n Out, you already know how it
is when you when the first you do, you in
your big inner stage. So it's like, all right, we're
gonna you're gonna pay me this amount. All right, I'm
gonna I'm gonna take that. But I was consistent, you know,

(18:15):
you know wild'n Out, they gonna drop an episode back
to back. We on season one, you're on season ten.
I was, I can't season eleven. Then next five weeks
from now, you're doing season twelve. So all of that
moment is like, okay, I'm putting that in my savings.
I'm seeing what's going on. But it's also I'm helping family,
I'm doing stuff for friends, and I'm dibbling and dabbling
things that like, okay, I should be saving. So I

(18:36):
think for me, it was the consistency, you know, and
the different jobs that came outside of wilding out that
mainly all right cool. I got a McDonald's commercial that
paid already cool. Then I got you know, six hundred
products and city trends okay that came along, yes, six yeah,
like six, I'm in six hundred story excuse me with
all my products in it in Cyah.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
What are the products that you have?

Speaker 4 (18:56):
Beauty like workout gear, ear pods, ox pods, like the
list goes on and on. Little fake nails, yeah, everything, everything, everything,
add thing's pretty VP you Jamaican for real bad y'alla
yeah we're going yeah yeah yeah. So I did so
all of that for me. The formula, because no one

(19:17):
can have your recipe. No one can have your recipe.
It's whatever God has instilled this gift that no one
has it. You can't look at somebody, so that's tank.
It's not can't look at somebody, so that's jay.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
Same with me.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
So I think For me, it was just the formula
was just being staying in my word, praying my mother like,
oh Lord, them prayer warriors, you know, and then also
being consistent and just being determined, knowing that you're confident,
knowing that your call to be on that same stage
somebody else is or I'm in that I supposed to
be in that same room. Maybe it's not my time
on my season, but I know I'm supposed to be there.

(19:49):
So That's what it was for me. And then again
whil'ing Out came season twelve. He left thirteen fourteen, fifteen sixteen,
and then I was able to buy my home in
twenty twenty. I was able to buy my home in
twenty twenty during COVID than my car.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
And then you got on, while not in twenty eighteen
or twenty seventeen.

Speaker 8 (20:08):
I got on twenty eighteen.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
So in two years, yeah you got you were able
to flip that, Yeah, buy you a house.

Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yep, yeah you know what, Yeah, yeah, thank you, yeah,
thank you.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Yeah two years time.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah, I was able to do that.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Will'ing out in the beginning, you know, you sign on
your name and they give you a number, do it
because you want the exposure.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
You know, Nick sees something in you.

Speaker 4 (20:31):
You know, he's like, look I'm there, I'm not there
for for me and be someone's always say I'm not
different this check I'm different exposure. Because we love Nick.
We always say that, you know, and then when they
see that, it's like they've been riding out with us.
Let's boost them up a little bit, you know, let's
let's sign them digitally do with all these different things.
So it's a great thing when you would viacom because
it's thought to be a family, and that's what it

(20:52):
was for us, and we were able to you know
and still to this day because you know, we're still
making our money off the show. But it's more of
like this a family. We love Nick, we love what
he's doing with us. He's always pulling us and wanting
us to be great, just like Charlamagne. Like those are
my two brothers and they always look out for me.
So it was like, all right, we're in the right
place now, you know.

Speaker 6 (21:10):
It's you know, it's something good when everybody comes back. Yeah, literally,
like seeing Kat Williams come back, seeing Kevin Hart come back,
Kevin Heart, don't got to do nothing, Kat Williams don't
got to do nothing, you know what I'm saying. So
for the time, Yeah, for them to take the time
and come back and do wilding Out, and you already
know that there's something genuine that's there for sure, and

(21:31):
that's really dope seeing and just my experience being on
the show with y'all, like I was like, Okay, this
ship is really fun everybody and having a great time.
Everybody's gonna make money because all y'all had a you know,
forty seven chains on When I.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Was I was like, these niggas have.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
More especially conceded every rapper in my life.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
This is insane.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
He ain't got no.

Speaker 5 (21:53):
Net without it, Like no, seriously.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
And then you have a boss like Nick that's gonna
always scream your name and room that you're not in.
Nick does it all that? He just texts me other
day like I'm doing this, I'm like what I'm about
to cry? So just the thought of what he has
for us, Like just the plans that God just keep
first of all, God keeps just knocking on Nick heart
for us, like all right, these you know, these these
these like d C come on now, Like DC needs

(22:18):
to have his movie.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
You know, we need to see him in a film
that's like, oh that was that was for him?

Speaker 4 (22:23):
You know. So Nick plans that for us all the time,
you know, and they got to give Nick his flowers
because he does so much for.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Us as absolutely, and he's singing R and B now too.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Remix. I think I need my shirt on all the
all that.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
Music and all that year. That's all day. My style beats,
that's all day, so talented.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Love. I just saw him. Its like I was spilling
out your spelling. I was like, figure, like what you're
here for the breakfast? Me too?

Speaker 2 (23:24):
You said something earlier before we were like y'all was
talking about commission. Come on, what you know about commission?

Speaker 1 (23:34):
What what?

Speaker 8 (23:35):
Hangding some lone?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
My love?

Speaker 4 (23:38):
I need something?

Speaker 3 (23:41):
Did she did she do the Caribbean version.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
As karaoke or the carib I don't know which one
that was.

Speaker 4 (23:55):
You know, you don't hit the spot in that part.
Come on, you know, Fred Hammond, Marvin Sap like them
being part of that group. Like I just I'm such
a student and I hear my mom, you know as
a kid, you know, just listen to Helen Baylor, you know,
and I need to buy them and the Commission and
the Marvin Sap and the Fred Hammonds. So that's what
I grew up on. And it's no shade to things

(24:15):
that are new. But I feel like at that time,
deliverance was real, you know, if like we had to
fight for something that time. Come on, what I just said,
What I just said, Let me what I said.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
Deliverance is really like we needed so.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
We needed turning away from come on here you go.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
Seriously, I think the breakthroughs back then, we needed those
music for breakthroughs.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Needed it.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
The sisters, we needed those moments. We needed all that,
you know, Tiki here, you know, Kiosha, but we literally
I needed my mom. That's all we listened to in
the in the house. You know, stop it on Doublehead.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Had you had you heard any secular music growing up
or not?

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Really?

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Of course my dad was funk. My dad was so
my planning, I didn't listen to all the going up
to Virginia each summertime, like that's all I heard was already,
you know, and just classic music. Michael Jackson, you know,
just high fives like that's that's my dad.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Five you know, my age group, all of that, my father.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
My father, and it was my mom too. You know
her artist is when Houston. You know she's gonna throw
that on. But in the in the worship area, you know,
in church, that's what it was. You know, we came home,
that's what we listened to when we when we were
around the house cleaned up. You know, you're gonna throw
on that, uh that Michael Jackson or you know whatever.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
So you know, I think if you ask any any
any singer, songwriter, producer, you know what I'm saying of
this time. You know what I'm saying, they're always going
to have.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
A gospel background, and they're always going to defer to
the commission and Whinings and John and Kim and you
know what I'm saying, all of these they're always going
to refer to it. You know, I'm saying, we got
a lot of good gospel friends. Yes, you know what
I'm saying. Isaac Kreed In Zaccardi.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
And all like, and when we're like, it's still a
part of our lives because even if you're not tapped into,
you know, the religious experience of all, we are all
still spiritual beings, yes, and we can all still receive
that information and appreciate it. For what it is, and
it elevates us. You know what I'm saying on a

(26:22):
day where you know it may not be going so great.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
You know what I'm saying, Some of them songs and
some of those lyrics, even if that's not what you
believe the spirit of that music, it just will do
something to you.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
It will do something to you. So I encourage everyone
go get your commissioned on. Please, please, yes, go get
your windings.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
You want to know what boys, the men and Jo
Tosy and and all these groups and the Drew Heels
where they all come from. You want to know where
r Kelly comes from.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
Get the line and he annoys it if you tapping
into that, because he doesn't produce some stuff too. You know,
it's it's more of like you have that that gift,
but when an enemy come in, that's what it is,
you know. But when you have that special gift like
he does, you're gonna create something.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
And he has.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
And that's why I love listening to those Gospels and hearing.
I'm a student, so I'm hearing everything. You know, I'm like,
who did this? So who produced that?

Speaker 5 (27:18):
Or because it sounds like it's something there, you know,
in that gospel.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Rim you know.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
So yeah, just turn into the Arms and Money Salvation Pod.
Come on, I see we're gonna get you.

Speaker 3 (27:28):
See why I'm sitting on this.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
Music is just everything.

Speaker 8 (27:33):
It changes moves you know, it changed everything.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
The soundtrack to your life. You can think of where
you were, what you were doing, and who you were
with just from one song.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
One song one like like I can't wait until they
build the time machine? Do you think you're gonna still
be here? Wow, Nigga, they promised me a flying car
when I was a kid.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
They're here, They're here, get me one.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's just not sanctioned. We haven't figured out the air spaceship.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Jas be holding up everything.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
But when when the time is, Nigga, I'm waiting when
the time machine comes. I want to go back to
those like like my first dance, you know what I'm
saying with with Atlantic star Play, you know what I mean?
Or or being on the phone with with the little
church girl I had a crush on and Secret Lovers

(28:27):

love We're hiding from Jesus. That's what we are to
you both. The love it someone that's the Lord.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
No, seriously, it's it's amazing, especially, like I said, coming
from both rims of it, gospel and then funk and soul,
R and B, and of course me being Caribbean.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
Now? I mean, you know, still creating. I feel like
I I've done this for like five six years now.
My mom keeps saying I need to work on my
years because like, girl ain't been that short. But literally,
I think five six years and I'm still this is
only the beginning for me. Like I'm still at that
beginning stage. Like I feel like I haven't touched certain people,
and I haven't touched the people, you know, and I've

(31:24):
done the wild'n outs. I've done the gigs where it's like,
all right, you know, let's do these McDonald commercial, Let's
do these CD trends, Let's do these Revolts stuff, Let's
do all these different things that all my peers are doing,
you know.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
But I filming TV is my thing.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
You know.

Speaker 4 (31:38):
Rap Ish Comes Out was supposed to come out August tenth.
I think it pushed it back because of the rid
of Strike. That's a new show on HBO. Max came
out last year with Easter Ray, So I am deja
what Updasiah?

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (31:48):
And then I just had my first leading role in
Pretty Stone. It's a movie on VH one right now.
You guys go watch it on Hulu if you guys
want to. I played the lead, and just other little
gets and gadgets that I have going on with creating
my own show. I have two of my sketch shows,
Coffee's House, while I play all my characters Eddie Murphy
Inspired and I'm just just creating in the midst of

(32:09):
us having a still moment, and uh, I think it's
time to create. And that's what I've been doing and
just staying. Kat Williams told me and he called me
one day because he wanted me to host one of
his tours, and he gave me some advice and he
called me. He said, what's up V. I said nothing.
You don't stay out the way. He said, what the
fuck are you talking about? Standing in motherfucking way? You
pretty V you know so I so I actually got

(32:29):
that advice, and I've been staying in the way ever since,
you know, in a good way, not being all over
the place, because you don't have to be able to
to stay the way. You stand the way in the
right room, stay in the room, staying away with right opportunities,
you know. And that's what I've been doing because I
don't want my face to be all the places, because
you know, I want room people to work with me.
You know, sometime when you it's too much, it's like
girl like sit down. You know, I don't want to
be there. I want I want Hollywood or in that

(32:51):
space when it's time to really work with me on
a space of like this is a fresh new face.
You know, she's doing her skitch, she do her little
things here and there. It's producer's watching me right now,
directors wanting to work. So I want to leave room
for us to create in that space. So right now
I'm creating on my own until this stuff lifts up.
And right now I'm busy, like I said, I'm uh
maintaining city trends. I just started my foundation called The

(33:13):
Pretty Victory, where the benefits everyone, the youth, you know,
the men, the women who are hurting mental health, self
esteem issues, confidence, and I'm just trying to help them
in that space. So outside of the film and TV,
in the comedic rim that's my baby, you know, and
The Pretty Victory. So we just you know, building. Yeah,
And I've been asking people what victories mean, what victory

(33:35):
means to them, and what makes you guys victorious. So
I went on set yesterday and I asked, like Brisia Webb,
Caruci and you know, Aman of Seals, like what does
it mean to them? Because sometimes we don't know that
you know, what makes you victorious? Like I be wanting
to know, So what makes what makes you victorious?

Speaker 6 (33:51):
That I wake up and I smile every day? That's
literally like for me that's enough because I you know,
I feel like we grow up the way we grow
up and should be be up and down. So you
can literally wake up happy every day for sure.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
That's my victory.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Yeah, and every time I do hit you you like,
I'm good, I'm happy, and.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
I tell you if I wasn't. I'm not one of
those bullshits with people like man, you good.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Nah, nigga, this is tricky right now, I know.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
But I've found my space.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
I found my space, you know, within my family and
my children to just I'll be smiling, yeah, because you
know this.

Speaker 3 (34:28):
This is truly Disneyland to me.

Speaker 6 (34:31):
This is really Disneyland to me that I get to
do music and entertainment for a living and I can
take care of myself and my family.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Yeah, I can't answer none more.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (34:41):
That's mine.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
That's good.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
What about you think.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
Living in my purpose and living with whatever the results are. Yeah,
you know I went.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Through I think I went through a phase where I
wanted what everybody else had mm hmmm, because that looked
victorious to me, and I had to be set down
and made aware that my victory was completely different, My
purpose was completely different.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
You know. I Everything is not a bag of money,
Everything is not a car, everything is not a house. Everything.
Some things are just somebody walking up to you and
saying man, you change.

Speaker 4 (35:27):
My life for sure.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Man, I do what I do because you do what
you do that And I was like, oh, so that's
why I'm here. I'm here to give, I'm here to
serve and to live in That purpose for me is
the victory. I feel like that's going to you know,
that's going to be passed down to from generation to generation.

(35:49):
And just understanding that as long as you're rough service,
you'll always have value, you always have worth.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah, so that's that's my victory.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Love that. I love that. I love one two three
on the Little Keys for a second. Yeah. No, but no,
God is good though, you know he's good, and I'm
just I wouldn't want to tap into a space.

And what's her name, New New London. Yeah, it was
in the car with t I and it was talking
and she was like, you know, I wish you could

I was talking to somebody and we're just talking and
just letting them, letting them know like I like them.
I think you're attractive, You're handsome and all that good stuff.

(52:51):
And you know, he was like I like you too,
and you know, just like pouring my heart out right,
and then they you know, I'm a libro, I'm October.
I don't do the sign stuff, but you know, I'm
you know, like I'm like, you know, just staying like
you know. So then I threw it all right, I
wish you could see what I see. And then he
responds on the phone and say what do you see?

(53:16):
And I said that that's how I got that fall.
If he don't know at L, he did know at
L he knew that everybody know that I'm trying to
run game. But that an't work. I said, do not
tell nobody in that studio what I just did. The
wrong response threw you off, he I said, I wish

didn't It didn't work.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
So I said, okay, but now when I got into
this space, I really have nobody to try me or
I haven't really had nothing that throws me off, like
somebody Bread was thinking, and I don't want to say
no names. I'm like, oh lord, you want that mic
like that.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
You gotta got to floss that you want to don't
do that?

Speaker 4 (54:24):

because because when a person consistently has bad breath.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
You sucking up the whole car.

Speaker 3 (55:30):

in a show hold, like it's yeah, that needs to
be thrown out. That that's an infected too. That meant
infected anytime you put me infected.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
That and that gun can't save you then in the fighting,
And yeah I can't.

Speaker 5 (56:04):
But that was my that was my story that I
literally laugh at. I don't do it all that no more.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Do you ever? Have you ever?

Speaker 3 (56:11):
I mean, do you still run into him from time
to time?

Speaker 7 (56:13):

Speaker 5 (56:14):
No, I see him on social media and I'd be like, oh, yeah,
it ain't work on you.

Speaker 4 (56:17):
I ain't never do it again.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
It is he is?

Speaker 9 (56:19):
He is?

Speaker 1 (56:20):

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (56:23):
Yeah, But what if he came back at you.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
And was like I see it now.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
Now you probably like, oh my god, I should have listened.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Now, that would work.

Speaker 4 (56:36):
No, because I always look at I always look at
this though. Any guy that you know tried to talk
or we've you know, did our little one choos, it's like, huh, God,
ain't gonna give me you no more? You don't.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
You never double them back?

Speaker 4 (56:51):
I have, but then the double back is still like oh,
I mean, sometimes people don't understand and new you you know,
jealousy comes in and security comes in. Souse you knew, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
You knew, and it's okay to be new.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
Yeah, it's okay.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
It's okay too.

Speaker 5 (57:09):
And it's not about oh I'm always I'm a humble
like breathe like I have.

Speaker 4 (57:14):
To, you know, be that. But I think for me,
it's more like if you don't understand why I'm going
now because the vena that you had a Divanna or Divina,
whichever name you want to call me. Back then, it
was in that space of trying to figure it out.
But I still have the heart. Now I see what
God is doing. If you can't accept me now, you're
gonna have to slide. That means it's the jealousy come

(57:34):
in or why you're working so much? Got all that's
going on?

Speaker 1 (57:38):
Are you're always around the cannon?

Speaker 5 (57:39):
