I think it's cute. Yeah, I think I think that's
how I think it's supposed to be. Like no attachments.
I don't like attachment because I don't like to feel
like boxed in. I like to feel free. You know,
when I was born and my mama she used to
try to wrap me a blanket. I used to do this,
they used to like come out of I always knew
(02:24):
I was a free spirit. You know what I'm saying,
It's real.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That's called involuntary.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I love to be free on like Jills, none of that.
Speaker 8 (02:34):
Just as long as everybody know what's going on.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
Yeah, even when people know what going on, they still
like they don't know what's going on.

our premise, Like I ain't trying to freak on you.
What would you take her somewhere at the country? It
can't be nowhere here be taking on a trip. I
feel like a trip, like a getaway, like let me
take your mind.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Just talk to her. You ain't really trying to anything.
Speaker 7 (04:21):
I ain't gotta be nothing like me, like I like
to fuck the mind. I don't care about like really
six like that. I mean, I dominate. I just laid

Okay, So Erica Dixon is Little Scrappy's baby mom. They
have a beautiful young daughter together with each other. And
then Bam is a Little Scrappy's wife soon to be
possibly ex wife. They I heard they don't live together.
Bambi come on the show. We got to talk about that.
Uh and they went viral yesterday everyone went viral. Little
(05:23):
Mama went on Instagram.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
It's like that because we think you're talking about little
mamas popping.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
No, not the little Mama until his daughter.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Wait wait what what you went on the day with
Little Mama on TV?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yes, I saw it. I watched the episode are.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
You talking about?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It was Little Mama the rapper that you took it
on a date That is so cute. She's a person.
This was like years ago.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
You got to go on to day.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
With a Little Mama, grown up hip hop a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Performed with jay Z.
Speaker 10 (06:00):
Yeah yourself to that state wave, the Bam and a
little scrappy have something going on and they are not
together and it's a whole conundrum going on online spiric London.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I just heard Tip say it, and I know it means.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's a bunch of problems. In your vocal from Tip,
I know that's not a bad person to give up.
Speaker 9 (06:31):
You know how to spell it, though, No, I do
not know what is it called the Nundrumum?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
What does that mean? There's a whole bunch of problems
going on in the same damn town. That's what Tip
says exactly. So Tip you said, I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Yeah, I put out a spelling video.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He says all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Anyway, are you guys hip to what's going on? Or
did ye? There's a whole lot of drama going on?
Speaker 8 (06:57):
So what exactly is going on?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (07:00):
I don't see.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Give me having marital issues. It looks like they're not
living together. It looks like they're not talking, they're not
around each other, and what that marriage you to? Ever
before daughter and little Scrappy's daughter went on Instagram and said,
don't tag me around and talk to me about that
lady talking about Bam Bam did a post said looking
(07:25):
like that lady with the hard eyes emoji, so they
would thrown shade at each other and everybody just started commenting,
what you guys think.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I think just sounded like some love and hip hop storylines.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It was like a storyline.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I don't want to believe that they would bring the
kids into it, even though you know, Scrap's oldest daughter
is eighteen. Now I would hope that they're not doing
it for that, but I don't think it's cool to
start talking about kids. And now because you are getting
a divorce, you want to be.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Like I was holding your secret.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Your daughter was telling me that you was whooping her ass,
Like don't hold on to that, Like still hold on
to that, don't put it out now.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
So I don't want to see it. I hate it.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I don't you married?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yes, I am married. Happily married.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
You're against marriage. It sounds like because you said it's the.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Devil, I ain't meaning like I ain't gonna cap though,
Like I ain't trying to get all deep. This is
the first woman I never cheated on, though, I feel
like I found my.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Person that's gonna be making good.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Way how long I've been married for three years. I
never felt this way about a female before. Before that,
I was what you said, knock this shit down.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
I mean, you're not against a connection or relationship. I
think he's just saying like you don't want to legally
be married and like deal with all.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
I just feel like like putting stuff on paper and
putting like the court in your business is a bit
too much from like a personal relationship. That's just how
I personally feel, because you know, something go wrong. I
just feel like this is not their business, like the state.
And that's just how I feel personally. But I'm gonna
be honest. Man, every married couple I know they not
(09:00):
they like not happy. You. You probably one of the
first that didn't tell you because they hang around your time.
Actually you probably wanted the first. Like how that it's
a small percentage they really say like they happy or
what not. On the real my parents be married.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
The man they're still married, but they need a TV
show if y'all hear the conversations.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Man, I just got.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Hired at Warner Records, so Chopper is the main artist there,
and I've been paying attention to him. My first gig
was the Memphis Uh and I saw Mama Chop she lit.
By the way, Yes, I met your dad and I
didn't know that they both managed you. So your dad's
your role manager, your mom's your manager. That's dope. That's
like lit though, But I know it's a lot of
(09:42):
communication that has to go on in the house. Yeah,
so they probably the only ones that can deal with
you pretty much.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
In the beginning, I wasn't couldn't nobody to deal with.
I used to snap on people because people. But I'm
way more like settle and come now. So yeah, they
pretty much they deal with me. But I'm more manageable
now for sure.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
But to bring it back to marriage, you have an example.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
They lasting, but you know it's a difference from like
last thing and like last thing and like being happy
with if that makes sense.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Do you believe that you know you could you can't
be happy with somebody for x amount of time, but
then your energy just goes a different way and it's like,
you know what, Yeah we had a great two, three, five,
six years, but my.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Energy is changing. Your energy is changing, and now it's
time to move on to the next.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
I mean, it just it just depends on how much
the person evolve. Like I'm the type of person there's
something about look in the mirror and I see your flow.
It's something I'm trying to better about myself. And I
had a problem with with being in in relationships with
people that's not the same, that's not you know, comfortable
with evolving. It's scared of change. So I've always outgrew
(10:54):
the person I was, you know, being with or whatnot.
And like the course of a year. Yeah, I'm never
had a relationship that went longer than a year. So
and it's just because I always want to grow and
I always want to fix myself and maybe God grooming
me to meet someone that I could say, ah, they'm
my person, but still, you know, still then I just
(11:14):
feel like it ain't temporary in life, you know what
I'm saying. I feel like we meet people, you know,
and this either we learned something from him, and sometimes
I feel like, you know, it's not for us to
just take a heat and like make him like a property.
And I always go like to this saying it was
his dude, he put, I can't remember who said it.
I don't mean to take too much time on the subject,
(11:35):
but it was like it was like one day he'd
seen this butterfly and it was like a story, and
he's seen a butterfly and it was so beautiful, like
the most the most beautiful butterfly.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
He ever seen.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
And he said he was chasing it, trying to catch
it to keep it to himself, and as he was
chasing it, he jumped to his neighbor fence, still chasing
out there. His neighbor had a garden full of beautiful flowers,
so he was stumping on the flowers. He fucked up
all the flowers trying to get it, and when he
finally got the butterfly, he killed it. So not only
(12:09):
did he kill the butterfly, but he fucked up like
his neighbor was guarding it. So he messed up there
and he messed up the world around him. Yeah, so
I kind of feel like that's how it is with relationships.
I feel like we get with people to learn something
from them and just carry on the life experience more
(12:30):
so than just like making a person that experience, if
that makes sense. But that's how that's just that's how
I feel. And other people different though, and other people
have different journeys. And that's why that's why the perspectives
is so beautiful and it's artistic to me because the
same way you have you something with marriage could be
the same way I view something. And what works for
(12:52):
him may not work for me. And I feel like
that's the beauty of like humanity. And I like that
story too. That was a dope story.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
All right, let's take a quick commercial, but when we
come back, we can get all in NL choppers business
right here.
Speaker 7 (13:04):

Speaker 1 (13:59):
We shure you're pulling up on us now again. I
had to do a lot of research on you when
I came when I got hired at Warn the Records, right,
I was been on the radio for a while here
in Atlanta, and I been a fan of you. I
didn't know you blew up such at a young age
because they was like he just turned twenty over, he
just turned twenty. So how old were you when you
first came on the music scene.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
I started catching buds at like fifteen, and then I
had my first breakout here in like sixteen.

Speaker 9 (14:51):
So growing up in Memphis, you know, coming into you
know Nli Chopper, that we know today. Can you give us,
like like a brief flow background on that.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I grew up in survival mode. If you're from Memphis,
it's like you're not living there, you survive. So I
feel like I overcame the city. You know, a lot
of people say the tough cities is LA New York,
things of the big city.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
And Memphis was the murder capital for a while.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
They to Memphis, you know what I'm saying, Like people
say like l A and New York because it's like bigger,
business oriented and then you got gang culture in l
A or whatnot. But man, Memphis is like it's it's wow.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Man, is it gang culture there?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
What big?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Were you a part of that life?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
It's a lot of purple.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
If I was ever that, I've been in gang culture.
But you know what I'm saying, it was was real life.
There's some fake ship.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Just how you got the name in Elie Chopper? What
does that stand for?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
And the at least stands for no Love entertainment chop
sense for a nickname I had going up like black Lack.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Were you in the sports or anything?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, it was sports, basketball, football, soccer, swim soccer.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
You never wanted to do anything in sports.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You just wanted to.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
I always wanted to go pro basketball, but I was
better in football. Stopped playing soccer at like eight.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I used to like to swimming.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Fast eight years old.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh why that dreams glew up at sixteen? Not even it.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
It's like I had behavior issues. So I was really talented,
but it was just a badass kid.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Yeah, I was bad.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Hell wasn't a good teammate.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Just like I was a great teammate.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
But I used to fight with my teams like I
was just I was just bad, like Mama used to
have to Like I recall, Mama had to pick me
up from school.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
She had to take me to an interrogation room fresh
out of school, damn.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
And like it was just certain instances like that they
kept me off the court and I just I just
wasn't My behavior was just do.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
You feel like that's is a product of your environment?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
It's the Memphis Yeah, because I feel like like I
had I had, My life was pretty much like made
for me.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
My mama she was a business owner. My pops he worked.
I had both my parents. They really want no.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Reason for me to go down around I did, but
I was always type personally. I ain't never like to
ask my parents for nothing, and then they wouldn't give
it to me anyway because I was bad. So like
you know, I had to earn anything. I had two brothers.
I got two brothers and one sister than you. Yeah,
I'm the youngest.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Okay, So did you get like influence from them?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
While Nah, they were scared to do anything I was doing.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
He was the bad You're not bad.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
I was the protector too, so like even they was
older than me, I always like I was protecting them
or like if if they didn't, if they you know
what I'm saying, they can hold their own. But I
was more so like I'm a big brother, like you
know what I'm saying. You know, I was the youngest,
smallest whatever, But I just always had the initial about me.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Okay. I want to fast forward to when the music
is popping you lit? Now, how has life changed for you?
Because you in Memphis, you started making money. You know,
you have people like Dolph came from Memphis. You got
Yo Gotti come from Memphis, Gloriala from Memphis, black Youngster,
you got all these big names from Memphis. How is
(18:23):
it for you? When you go to Memphis, like being
from there but also being a very successful artist, because
it's difficult.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
It's it's not difficult because now I know how to
stay out the way and just stay in the crib
and point A, point B and don't go to point C.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
So you be in Memphis. Yeah, I still live in Memphis.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I still live in Memphis, but because I hear they
artists tend on me out of Memphis.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
They move out, and I'm planning on moving, but I
stay in Memphis out the simple fact of I like
to be in tune with my city to know where
I need to change. So I feel like if I'm
out of the loop, I don't know what the city need.
You know what I'm saying. I know that we need
more people to tap into the youth, so I hold
events to make sure I'm talking to the kids about violence,
(19:11):
cart thems, all type things. I know that we need
kids that stop the Crown Way, make the Crown Way
go down. So I make sure I make reading challenges
and pop up at the schools and do charitable work.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I can't really began schools. I see you do high
school school every tours everywhere in the country.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Yeah, I can't really do that if I'm not in
the city. You know, I provide vegan food for the city.
So vegan vegan long you've been vegan?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Why why did you?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Just because it's just helded my mind by the end
my soul.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Like someone influenced you.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Because it's interesting though, because it was like at the
rise of your career, like you said that at around
sixteen you started to get this buzz and then at
around seventeen you went into veganism.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Now, like stay in the.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Memphis So I feel like a lot of people in
hip hop it's hard for them to go home and
stay home because is although you do get a lot
of love, there are people that are mad at you
for maybe because they want to be in your shoes.
Do you feel any negativity in Memphis?
Speaker 7 (20:11):
I feel it, but I'm so far from it, Like
I'm extremely far from and I'm always real close to
love and far away from hate, you know, especially.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
What happened to Dolph. Yeah, yeah, when that happened, how
did you feel?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
What's crazy is I'm so in tune spiritually. The morning
when it happened, I woke up and the dream I
had was like I had this dream of dolphins.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
It was in the water.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
I was I was swimming with some dolphins. And I
know that God always send messages through my dreams. But
it's so crazy how how much his passing was so
spiritual to Memphis. That Memphis even had a small earthquake
that day. A lot of people don't know that it's
all seen up. There was a small earthquake that theay
that dog died. So it's always a lot of spiritual
(20:57):
things that happen. I get my siens. I know if
I'm in danger. I know if I need to move,
but i'd be at peace. I drive my window down
sometimes like I feel good and I know when danger
is there.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I can feel it.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
I get signs like I'm guided and protected way beyond
what a gun can bring, what a bulletproof truck can bring.
Like I'm real touch by God. So I don't really
be tripping, and I don't see it in no cocky sense.
I just know I'm real close to love, far away
from hate. If I see it is only online now.
I saw you as a father, I saw you your
daughter one time. For that, How is it chopping because
(21:33):
you're a young father man, Like it's not, that's not it. Yeah,
when did you become a father?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Eighteen eighteen? That's a lot of responsibility, and you have
a lot of responsibilities at such a young age. Man,
how is it Foraly Chopper?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
The dad man? It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I ain't say how she interacts with you. She obviously
loves her dad.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
I love being a father. It's what got me sparked,
you know, on change. It's what made me become the
man I am. You know, I knew if I was
gonna have a son, I was really gonna be like
the same person, gun heavy, smoking thirty.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Niggas around me.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
But she made me realize I can have thirty niggas
around I can't be smoking all the marijuana around her.
I can't be doing all this child and ship. She
made me grow up because she's a girl and I
wanted her to be. I want to like whenever she
start to deal with me and in her future, she
know what a man is, she know how to be treated.
So you know, I had to clean up a lot
for her. And it's it's plush, you know, it's plush things.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Maybe from the relationship that you had that went public.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No, no, no, but you gotta you gotta you expecting
another child with her right, not with the with the one.
She's somebody you're your past relationship. Yeah, yeah, y'all having
a baby. Yeah, I have a son on the way.
Oh congratulations, I had having a son?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Okay, got okay?
Speaker 8 (22:57):
So how how how did that work out?
Speaker 9 (22:59):
I know that record was. She took that really hard.
How did that, you know, go from that to y'all
expecting the son?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Now?
Speaker 7 (23:07):
So previously she had she had a miscarriage when we
was you know, in the process of conceiving, when she
was in the process of conceiving. You know, she's always
had miscarriages. Not to put a business out, but it's
one of those things that I was always trying to,
you know, just keep her head up about and just you.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Know, keep up, keep up.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Spirit high, Yeah, spirit high, knowing that she was high risk,
and you know, something's happened, and it happened again. I
think it was like damn, They're like I don't got
to say how many times, but it's been quite a
few times. And when that happened, I've always felt like
it wasn't my fault in them. It was just you know,
(23:50):
just God willing you know what I'm saying. But I
always felt like I owed her something, And even moving forward,
I knew I was growing, and I knew where I
was heading, and I knew I was heading to the
point of me not wanting to be around a person
relationship wise. I just wanted to be, you know, in
my own vibe single pretty much. But I felt like
(24:12):
I kind of left at a dead end if I
didn't like provide her something. At least there was a
piece of me knowing like what you've been through and
what she been going through. So you know, she brought
to my attention to IVYF thing and I kind of
you know, paid for the IVYF.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Stuff to get it done and.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
And just let her know, like you know, that was
pretty much like me just saying like I know that
I'm heading this way, but yeah, like on a sense,
and I was like, even though I probably can't give
you be a best man for you relationship wise, I
hope that you can see a part of me in
the innocence of my son eyes and just knowing like
(24:51):
I probably can't provide, you know, just the best relationship,
but I could be the best father for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But y'all can be locked in with life. When's to
do When's to do that?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
So it was around like I think it's around Augustus.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Okay, this is gonna happened after the breakup.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yeah, after the breakup. Okay, Yeah, Now.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
That tells me it was a real like spiritual connection.
I think, like the more that I'm hearing you talk,
I'm just realizing that you are super spiritual.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I think people will.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Assume, you know, the average hip hop artists don't really
care about. Nobody's super selfish, but something I can imagine.
But it just sounds like you do move in love, and.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
I think, yeah, they try to. People try to, you know,
we move in love so much. People try to bring
hate to you. Yeah, well, you know, I think sometimes
people kind of get side check of the love you
have shown because like one bad come. But I always
try to make sure my good way my bad or
my love, wait my hate.
Speaker 11 (25:53):
We'll be right back. Stay tuned with more of the
ball Or Alert Show into a special edition of the
Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Chopper, you're now tuned in to the ball of the show.
You went viral in my group chatting at warn the records.
You had some young ladies one by one your left
hand her hair and one on your right hand her hair.
One was red sex one top of six Red and Sukiyana,
How the hell did we see this go on?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
And to just.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Two sides.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
It was pretty much the idea and it's their idea.
That's pretty much how it came about.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It got her coming next week.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Actually, that's gonna be an interesting one.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
That we need to answer any questions we need to
ask you as slept me out remixed what's up with that?
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Come like that?
Speaker 7 (26:52):
But but yeah, it was pretty much we was in
the moment of just having fun, you know, enjoining ourselves
in the present moment. And she ran on all fours, yeah,
Red through the Alleyut I'm snitching on Red.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
She'll tell you right now. She threw the all of you. No,
but she was.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
She was originally like on her knees, performing towards the camera.
Then she got on her paws, and then she poured
her hair and said you should hold my hair, and
I kind of helped her, and then it just looked
like I was holding the dog, and like it just went.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
From that point on.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
She told Suki get down to and I'm like, and
then I grabbed that one and that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
It went on every damn Blonge.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Everywhere, and I got I got flying, I got flying
there for it. I can't handle that though, because you know,
I was sad as fun like the first three days.
I was sad three days because I felt I felt
it was misinterpreted and I felt like I love women
too much to be you know, labeled as someone who
degraded women, you know what I'm saying, even going back
(27:54):
to having being a father.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I have a father, so I know, and I felt guilty.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
I took account ability as well, because I'm like, okay,
like even though I don't I know my intentions, all
the women is on my head about it.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
They right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
They had their reasons, and I was like, probably a
sense of me should have said, okay, this ain't right,
but you know, you in the moment, you're trying to
create the best content and you having fun and that's
just how it is and you don't really think of it.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
But I'm thankful for the situation.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
I take accountability because next time, if it's something that
I feel is too much, like I know, like okay.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Nah, we ain't doing it, or we ain't doing this
or whatnot.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But people don't understand you young too, man, So there's
a lot of mistakes that you're gonna make in you know,
the internet is just a weird place anyways, because you
can't you can't do anything.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
They wait on it.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
They waiting on it.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
And I feel like the thing of the nature that
that made me mad. On the flip side of me
being understanding it was also a side of me that
it was like, Yo, I've.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Seen people the gray women in real life.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
I mean like I've seen I've seen I've seen certain
artists whooped somebody as women as I've seen, not even artists,
I've seen clips of women can be like I've seen
the sexuals assaults not in person, because if I would,
I'll fuck up whoever doing it.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
I promise I would. I don't even play like that.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
And I feel like when they was coming to me
like that, it was assassinate my character because I whooped
the shit out of anybody.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
That degraded women around me, like on a real level,
you know what I'm.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Saying, But you know, I respect that, but also too,
like some people like to be degraded in sex, and
I feel like it was like in theme, right, Like
I get some people don't want to put things in public,
and then they're also concerned about what their kids are seeing,
how they're being inspired. But it's almost one of those
things where it's like it was a learned lesson for you.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Like you said, like the.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Women invited it, they're the ones that asked you to
do it. Of course you had a choice whether you're
going to do it or not, but like you said,
you were in the moment and it just happened.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
And let's also bring to the forefront how people be
putting their kids on leashes. Let's not let's not forget.
Speaker 11 (30:01):
That I've been seeing y'all god.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Having a mother. Focus on the.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Least this conversation too.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Man, Come on now, one more viral moment I must
speak on and ask your opinion about that one when
you're like by the pool and you're just you're speaking something.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I think.
Speaker 12 (30:22):
I think that life is like life is what it is,
but life is not what's made made of what life was.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
There was like one of the five times I've ever
been drunk.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
In my life, was trying to make sense for real.
But nah, I was drunk as hell, but it made sense.
Life is what life is, just life, Life is life.
I was drunking because of.
Speaker 10 (30:51):
It.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
Was like, yes, he is right, yeah, life is what
life is life.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Just like you.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
All over here?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
You about Cottonwood two, sir, please sir? The new album
out right now? When we get into deluxe?
Speaker 5 (31:08):
All the deluxe out got already Yeah yeah, I got
that John like three days ago.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
So we got Collinwood two and the deluxe. Why is
it called Cottonwood two? Kitten Wood two is where I'm
from in Memphis. Represents my birthplace, you know, it represents
a rebirth for me. That's why I named the cotton
Wood two. You know, I feel like a whole different
person than when I first made it. My head's place
wasn't the same. I was just going through the motions
(31:35):
the first time. I still got a gold, gold, EP,
platinum EP. And now it's like I put my best
for Ford musically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, on marketing, wise, visually whatever.
I got my whole best for Ford. So and this
that album, this go around?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Who are the standout features on this album?
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Little Wayne?
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Of course, you know I grew up listening to him
watching them in mind him as an idol, Rick Ross
the bog listen to him and admirry him as an artist.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
What's your favorite song on the Project Champions?
Speaker 10 (32:11):
Why?
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Because I feel like I've been an underdog all my life,
Like I've always had my back against a while. I
always had to make a statement, you know, with then
knowing that I know that hundred dollars ain't gonna be
the underdog all the like one day when them tellle Stern.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
It's gonna stay.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
What's your expectation for this?
Speaker 5 (32:30):
M hm, Grammys it's my best body of work.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And I agree with that.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Yeah, it's just Grammys and just reaping reaping the benefits
of something I put, you know, my heart into. Like
when I listen to my music, it's like listening to
like Blood, It's like listening to the artists that.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Music is listening to. You got Wayne his flowers too, man?
I thought that was really dope. I had to because
a lot of I feel like a lot of young
artists don't do that, you know what I'm saying. With
the people that paved the way, that.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Was pretty much the thing.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
I feel like people don't want to do it until
the cash could drop and people want to throw their
flowers or them my shit.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Now, yeah, being nine, you know what I'm saying. So
but n l e jib.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
But we appreciate you for stopping by the baller alert.
So much success to you. Before we get out of here,
we got.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
A PEP talk.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Was in La trouble. I want to give you all
the PEP talk. First and foremost is three rules I
live by to be successful. First one is keeping God first,
staying he did in prayer and just knowing that I'm
not the one that control.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
I'm surrendered to the most High every day I wait.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Secondly, having discipline, you know, focusing on the goal, working
towards daily and staying grounded throughout the process to achieve it.
And thirdly, having faith because with faith comes patience. If
you're not patience, you won't have faith. And those are
the three things I live by God, discipline, and faith.
(33:57):
Then on the flip side, it's five things that got
me enlightened to the mindset i'm in now. First one
was prayer, second one with meditation, The third one was
switching my diet, fourth one was stopping drug usage, and
the fifth one was changing who I hung around, so
(34:17):
I prayed those eight things although to eight gyms I
just dropped, can help you help talking?

were never in an exclusive relationship.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Is Diddy still hitting it?

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Yeah, you've never not been in a relationship and just
had like a sex situation with somebody.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, it's normal what you're thinking.
Speaker 7 (02:03):
I think it's cute. Yeah, I think I think that's
how I think it's supposed to be. Like no attachments.
I don't like attachment because I don't like to feel
like boxed in. I like to feel free. You know,
when I was born and my mama she used to
try to wrap me a blanket. I used to do this,
they used to like come out of I always knew
(02:24):
I was a free spirit. You know what I'm saying,
It's real.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That's called involuntary.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
I love to be free on like Jills, none of that.
Speaker 8 (02:34):
Just as long as everybody know what's going on.
Speaker 7 (02:36):
Yeah, even when people know what going on, they still
like they don't know what's going on.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
You got to emphasize what's going on like daily.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
I mean, you talk about wanting multiple wives before, Like,

Wives.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
You got the pieces together. I got a few in consideration,
but I gotta make sure they.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The right ones.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
We're only twenty right now. So let's talk.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
Yeah, Yeah, I'm having patience.
Speaker 3 (03:08):

our premise, Like I ain't trying to freak on you.
What would you take her somewhere at the country? It
can't be nowhere here be taking on a trip. I
feel like a trip, like a getaway, like let me
take your mind.
Speaker 1 (04:18):

Speaker 7 (04:21):
I ain't gotta be nothing like me, like I like
to fuck the mind. I don't care about like really
six like that. I mean, I dominate. I just laid
sit down. Don't get me wrong, but I'd rather like
fuck the mind. And by fucking mind, I don't mean
like manipulate or control or do something narcissistic.

air con Dixon their daughter versus the Bam. Do you

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Okay, So Erica Dixon is Little Scrappy's baby mom. They
have a beautiful young daughter together with each other. And
then Bam is a Little Scrappy's wife soon to be
possibly ex wife. They I heard they don't live together.
Bambi come on the show. We got to talk about that.
Uh and they went viral yesterday everyone went viral. Little
(05:23):
Mama went on Instagram.
Speaker 9 (05:25):
It's like that because we think you're talking about little
mamas popping.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
No, not the little Mama until his daughter.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Wait wait what what you went on the day with
Little Mama on TV?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yes, I saw it. I watched the episode are.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
You talking about?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It was Little Mama the rapper that you took it
on a date That is so cute. She's a person.
This was like years ago.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
You got to go on to day.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
With a Little Mama, grown up hip hop a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Performed with jay Z.
Speaker 10 (06:00):
Yeah yourself to that state wave, the Bam and a
little scrappy have something going on and they are not
together and it's a whole conundrum going on online spiric London.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I just heard Tip say it, and I know it means.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's a bunch of problems. In your vocal from Tip,
I know that's not a bad person to give up.
Speaker 9 (06:31):
You know how to spell it, though, No, I do
not know what is it called the Nundrumum?
Speaker 1 (06:36):
What does that mean? There's a whole bunch of problems
going on in the same damn town. That's what Tip
says exactly. So Tip you said, I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (06:47):
Yeah, I put out a spelling video.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He says all the time.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Anyway, are you guys hip to what's going on? Or
did ye? There's a whole lot of drama going on?
Speaker 8 (06:57):
So what exactly is going on?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (07:00):
I don't see.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Give me having marital issues. It looks like they're not
living together. It looks like they're not talking, they're not
around each other, and what that marriage you to? Ever
before daughter and little Scrappy's daughter went on Instagram and said,
don't tag me around and talk to me about that
lady talking about Bam Bam did a post said looking
(07:25):
like that lady with the hard eyes emoji, so they
would thrown shade at each other and everybody just started commenting,
what you guys think.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I think just sounded like some love and hip hop storylines.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It was like a storyline.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
I don't want to believe that they would bring the
kids into it, even though you know, Scrap's oldest daughter
is eighteen. Now I would hope that they're not doing
it for that, but I don't think it's cool to
start talking about kids. And now because you are getting
a divorce, you want to be.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Like I was holding your secret.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
Your daughter was telling me that you was whooping her ass,
Like don't hold on to that, Like still hold on
to that, don't put it out now.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
So I don't want to see it. I hate it.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
I don't you married?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yes, I am married. Happily married.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
You're against marriage. It sounds like because you said it's the.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Devil, I ain't meaning like I ain't gonna cap though,
Like I ain't trying to get all deep. This is
the first woman I never cheated on, though, I feel
like I found my.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Person that's gonna be making good.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Way how long I've been married for three years. I
never felt this way about a female before. Before that,
I was what you said, knock this shit down.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
I mean, you're not against a connection or relationship. I
think he's just saying like you don't want to legally
be married and like deal with all.
Speaker 7 (08:39):
I just feel like like putting stuff on paper and
putting like the court in your business is a bit
too much from like a personal relationship. That's just how
I personally feel, because you know, something go wrong. I
just feel like this is not their business, like the state.
And that's just how I feel personally. But I'm gonna
be honest. Man, every married couple I know they not
(09:00):
they like not happy. You. You probably one of the
first that didn't tell you because they hang around your time.
Actually you probably wanted the first. Like how that it's
a small percentage they really say like they happy or
what not. On the real my parents be married.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
The man they're still married, but they need a TV
show if y'all hear the conversations.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Man, I just got.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Hired at Warner Records, so Chopper is the main artist there,
and I've been paying attention to him. My first gig
was the Memphis Uh and I saw Mama Chop she lit.
By the way, Yes, I met your dad and I
didn't know that they both managed you. So your dad's
your role manager, your mom's your manager. That's dope. That's
like lit though, But I know it's a lot of
(09:42):
communication that has to go on in the house. Yeah,
so they probably the only ones that can deal with
you pretty much.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
In the beginning, I wasn't couldn't nobody to deal with.
I used to snap on people because people. But I'm
way more like settle and come now. So yeah, they
pretty much they deal with me. But I'm more manageable
now for sure.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
But to bring it back to marriage, you have an example.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
They lasting, but you know it's a difference from like
last thing and like last thing and like being happy
with if that makes sense.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Do you believe that you know you could you can't
be happy with somebody for x amount of time, but
then your energy just goes a different way and it's like,
you know what, Yeah we had a great two, three, five,
six years, but my.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Energy is changing. Your energy is changing, and now it's
time to move on to the next.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
I mean, it just it just depends on how much
the person evolve. Like I'm the type of person there's
something about look in the mirror and I see your flow.
It's something I'm trying to better about myself. And I
had a problem with with being in in relationships with
people that's not the same, that's not you know, comfortable
with evolving. It's scared of change. So I've always outgrew
(10:54):
the person I was, you know, being with or whatnot.
And like the course of a year. Yeah, I'm never
had a relationship that went longer than a year. So
and it's just because I always want to grow and
I always want to fix myself and maybe God grooming
me to meet someone that I could say, ah, they'm
my person, but still, you know, still then I just
(11:14):
feel like it ain't temporary in life, you know what
I'm saying. I feel like we meet people, you know,
and this either we learned something from him, and sometimes
I feel like, you know, it's not for us to
just take a heat and like make him like a property.
And I always go like to this saying it was
his dude, he put, I can't remember who said it.
I don't mean to take too much time on the subject,
(11:35):
but it was like it was like one day he'd
seen this butterfly and it was like a story, and
he's seen a butterfly and it was so beautiful, like
the most the most beautiful butterfly.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
He ever seen.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
And he said he was chasing it, trying to catch
it to keep it to himself, and as he was
chasing it, he jumped to his neighbor fence, still chasing
out there. His neighbor had a garden full of beautiful flowers,
so he was stumping on the flowers. He fucked up
all the flowers trying to get it, and when he
finally got the butterfly, he killed it. So not only
(12:09):
did he kill the butterfly, but he fucked up like
his neighbor was guarding it. So he messed up there
and he messed up the world around him. Yeah, so
I kind of feel like that's how it is with relationships.
I feel like we get with people to learn something
from them and just carry on the life experience more
(12:30):
so than just like making a person that experience, if
that makes sense. But that's how that's just that's how
I feel. And other people different though, and other people
have different journeys. And that's why that's why the perspectives
is so beautiful and it's artistic to me because the
same way you have you something with marriage could be
the same way I view something. And what works for
(12:52):
him may not work for me. And I feel like
that's the beauty of like humanity. And I like that
story too. That was a dope story.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
All right, let's take a quick commercial, but when we
come back, we can get all in NL choppers business
right here.

RRI said, I gotta go strippers, I got to go.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
We shure you're pulling up on us now again. I
had to do a lot of research on you when
I came when I got hired at Warn the Records, right,
I was been on the radio for a while here
in Atlanta, and I been a fan of you. I
didn't know you blew up such at a young age
because they was like he just turned twenty over, he
just turned twenty. So how old were you when you
first came on the music scene.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
I started catching buds at like fifteen, and then I
had my first breakout here in like sixteen.
Speaker 8 (14:25):
What was that on Shotow Flow Shorty Flow Shot?

Maybe the Burders boy.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
So growing up in Memphis, you know, coming into you
know Nli Chopper, that we know today. Can you give us,
like like a brief flow background on that.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I grew up in survival mode. If you're from Memphis,
it's like you're not living there, you survive. So I
feel like I overcame the city. You know, a lot
of people say the tough cities is LA New York,
things of the big city.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
And Memphis was the murder capital for a while.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
They to Memphis, you know what I'm saying, Like people
say like l A and New York because it's like bigger,
business oriented and then you got gang culture in l
A or whatnot. But man, Memphis is like it's it's wow.
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Man, is it gang culture there?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
What big?
Speaker 8 (15:34):
Were you a part of that life?
Speaker 5 (15:37):
It's a lot of purple.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
If I was ever that, I've been in gang culture.
But you know what I'm saying, it was was real life.
There's some fake ship.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Just how you got the name in Elie Chopper? What
does that stand for?
Speaker 7 (15:56):
And the at least stands for no Love entertainment chop
sense for a nickname I had going up like black Lack.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Were you in the sports or anything?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Hey?
Speaker 5 (16:06):
Yeah, it was sports, basketball, football, soccer, swim soccer.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
You never wanted to do anything in sports.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
You just wanted to.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
I always wanted to go pro basketball, but I was
better in football. Stopped playing soccer at like eight.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I used to like to swimming.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Fast eight years old.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Oh why that dreams glew up at sixteen? Not even it.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
It's like I had behavior issues. So I was really talented,
but it was just a badass kid.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Yeah, I was bad.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Hell wasn't a good teammate.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
Just like I was a great teammate.
Speaker 7 (16:41):
But I used to fight with my teams like I
was just I was just bad, like Mama used to
have to Like I recall, Mama had to pick me
up from school.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
She had to take me to an interrogation room fresh
out of school, damn.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
And like it was just certain instances like that they
kept me off the court and I just I just
wasn't My behavior was just do.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
You feel like that's is a product of your environment?
Speaker 7 (17:05):
It's the Memphis Yeah, because I feel like like I
had I had, My life was pretty much like made
for me.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
My mama she was a business owner. My pops he worked.
I had both my parents. They really want no.
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Reason for me to go down around I did, but
I was always type personally. I ain't never like to
ask my parents for nothing, and then they wouldn't give
it to me anyway because I was bad. So like
you know, I had to earn anything. I had two brothers.
I got two brothers and one sister than you. Yeah,
I'm the youngest.
Speaker 8 (17:35):
Okay, So did you get like influence from them?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
While Nah, they were scared to do anything I was doing.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
He was the bad You're not bad.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
I was the protector too, so like even they was
older than me, I always like I was protecting them
or like if if they didn't, if they you know
what I'm saying, they can hold their own. But I
was more so like I'm a big brother, like you
know what I'm saying. You know, I was the youngest,
smallest whatever, But I just always had the initial about me.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Okay. I want to fast forward to when the music
is popping you lit? Now, how has life changed for you?
Because you in Memphis, you started making money. You know,
you have people like Dolph came from Memphis. You got
Yo Gotti come from Memphis, Gloriala from Memphis, black Youngster,
you got all these big names from Memphis. How is
(18:23):
it for you? When you go to Memphis, like being
from there but also being a very successful artist, because
it's difficult.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
It's it's not difficult because now I know how to
stay out the way and just stay in the crib
and point A, point B and don't go to point C.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
So you be in Memphis. Yeah, I still live in Memphis.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I still live in Memphis, but because I hear they
artists tend on me out of Memphis.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
They move out, and I'm planning on moving, but I
stay in Memphis out the simple fact of I like
to be in tune with my city to know where
I need to change. So I feel like if I'm
out of the loop, I don't know what the city need.
You know what I'm saying. I know that we need
more people to tap into the youth, so I hold
events to make sure I'm talking to the kids about violence,
(19:11):
cart thems, all type things. I know that we need
kids that stop the Crown Way, make the Crown Way
go down. So I make sure I make reading challenges
and pop up at the schools and do charitable work.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I can't really began schools. I see you do high
school school every tours everywhere in the country.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Yeah, I can't really do that if I'm not in
the city. You know, I provide vegan food for the city.
So vegan vegan long you've been vegan?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Why why did you?
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Just because it's just helded my mind by the end
my soul.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Like someone influenced you.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Because it's interesting though, because it was like at the
rise of your career, like you said that at around
sixteen you started to get this buzz and then at
around seventeen you went into veganism.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Now, like stay in the.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Memphis So I feel like a lot of people in
hip hop it's hard for them to go home and
stay home because is although you do get a lot
of love, there are people that are mad at you
for maybe because they want to be in your shoes.
Do you feel any negativity in Memphis?
Speaker 7 (20:11):
I feel it, but I'm so far from it, Like
I'm extremely far from and I'm always real close to
love and far away from hate, you know, especially.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
What happened to Dolph. Yeah, yeah, when that happened, how
did you feel?
Speaker 7 (20:26):
What's crazy is I'm so in tune spiritually. The morning
when it happened, I woke up and the dream I
had was like I had this dream of dolphins.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
It was in the water.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
I was I was swimming with some dolphins. And I
know that God always send messages through my dreams. But
it's so crazy how how much his passing was so
spiritual to Memphis. That Memphis even had a small earthquake
that day. A lot of people don't know that it's
all seen up. There was a small earthquake that theay
that dog died. So it's always a lot of spiritual
(20:57):
things that happen. I get my siens. I know if
I'm in danger. I know if I need to move,
but i'd be at peace. I drive my window down
sometimes like I feel good and I know when danger
is there.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
I can feel it.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
I get signs like I'm guided and protected way beyond
what a gun can bring, what a bulletproof truck can bring.
Like I'm real touch by God. So I don't really
be tripping, and I don't see it in no cocky sense.
I just know I'm real close to love, far away
from hate. If I see it is only online now.
I saw you as a father, I saw you your
daughter one time. For that, How is it chopping because
(21:33):
you're a young father man, Like it's not, that's not it. Yeah,
when did you become a father?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Eighteen eighteen? That's a lot of responsibility, and you have
a lot of responsibilities at such a young age. Man,
how is it Foraly Chopper?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
The dad man? It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I ain't say how she interacts with you. She obviously
loves her dad.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
I love being a father. It's what got me sparked,
you know, on change. It's what made me become the
man I am. You know, I knew if I was
gonna have a son, I was really gonna be like
the same person, gun heavy, smoking thirty.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Niggas around me.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
But she made me realize I can have thirty niggas
around I can't be smoking all the marijuana around her.
I can't be doing all this child and ship. She
made me grow up because she's a girl and I
wanted her to be. I want to like whenever she
start to deal with me and in her future, she
know what a man is, she know how to be treated.
So you know, I had to clean up a lot
for her. And it's it's plush, you know, it's plush things.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
Maybe from the relationship that you had that went public.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No, no, no, but you gotta you gotta you expecting
another child with her right, not with the with the one.
She's somebody you're your past relationship. Yeah, yeah, y'all having
a baby. Yeah, I have a son on the way.
Oh congratulations, I had having a son?
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Okay, got okay?
Speaker 8 (22:57):
So how how how did that work out?
Speaker 9 (22:59):
I know that record was. She took that really hard.
How did that, you know, go from that to y'all
expecting the son?
Speaker 3 (23:05):
Now?
Speaker 7 (23:07):
So previously she had she had a miscarriage when we
was you know, in the process of conceiving, when she
was in the process of conceiving. You know, she's always
had miscarriages. Not to put a business out, but it's
one of those things that I was always trying to,
you know, just keep her head up about and just you.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Know, keep up, keep up.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Spirit high, Yeah, spirit high, knowing that she was high risk,
and you know, something's happened, and it happened again. I
think it was like damn, They're like I don't got
to say how many times, but it's been quite a
few times. And when that happened, I've always felt like
it wasn't my fault in them. It was just you know,
(23:50):
just God willing you know what I'm saying. But I
always felt like I owed her something, And even moving forward,
I knew I was growing, and I knew where I
was heading, and I knew I was heading to the
point of me not wanting to be around a person
relationship wise. I just wanted to be, you know, in
my own vibe single pretty much. But I felt like
(24:12):
I kind of left at a dead end if I
didn't like provide her something. At least there was a
piece of me knowing like what you've been through and
what she been going through. So you know, she brought
to my attention to IVYF thing and I kind of
you know, paid for the IVYF.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Stuff to get it done and.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
And just let her know, like you know, that was
pretty much like me just saying like I know that
I'm heading this way, but yeah, like on a sense,
and I was like, even though I probably can't give
you be a best man for you relationship wise, I
hope that you can see a part of me in
the innocence of my son eyes and just knowing like
(24:51):
I probably can't provide, you know, just the best relationship,
but I could be the best father for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But y'all can be locked in with life. When's to
do When's to do that?
Speaker 5 (25:00):
So it was around like I think it's around Augustus.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
Okay, this is gonna happened after the breakup.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Yeah, after the breakup. Okay, Yeah, Now.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
That tells me it was a real like spiritual connection.
I think, like the more that I'm hearing you talk,
I'm just realizing that you are super spiritual.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
I think people will.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Assume, you know, the average hip hop artists don't really
care about. Nobody's super selfish, but something I can imagine.
But it just sounds like you do move in love, and.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
I think, yeah, they try to. People try to, you know,
we move in love so much. People try to bring
hate to you. Yeah, well, you know, I think sometimes
people kind of get side check of the love you
have shown because like one bad come. But I always
try to make sure my good way my bad or
my love, wait my hate.
Speaker 11 (25:53):
We'll be right back. Stay tuned with more of the
ball Or Alert Show into a special edition of the
Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Chopper, you're now tuned in to the ball of the show.
You went viral in my group chatting at warn the records.
You had some young ladies one by one your left
hand her hair and one on your right hand her hair.
One was red sex one top of six Red and Sukiyana,
How the hell did we see this go on?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
And to just.
Speaker 8 (26:26):
Two sides.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
It was pretty much the idea and it's their idea.
That's pretty much how it came about.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It got her coming next week.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Actually, that's gonna be an interesting one.
Speaker 7 (26:42):
That we need to answer any questions we need to
ask you as slept me out remixed what's up with that?
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Come like that?
Speaker 7 (26:52):
But but yeah, it was pretty much we was in
the moment of just having fun, you know, enjoining ourselves
in the present moment. And she ran on all fours, yeah,
Red through the Alleyut I'm snitching on Red.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
She'll tell you right now. She threw the all of you. No,
but she was.
Speaker 7 (27:09):
She was originally like on her knees, performing towards the camera.
Then she got on her paws, and then she poured
her hair and said you should hold my hair, and
I kind of helped her, and then it just looked
like I was holding the dog, and like it just went.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
From that point on.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
She told Suki get down to and I'm like, and
then I grabbed that one and that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
It went on every damn Blonge.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 7 (27:34):
Everywhere, and I got I got flying, I got flying
there for it. I can't handle that though, because you know,
I was sad as fun like the first three days.
I was sad three days because I felt I felt
it was misinterpreted and I felt like I love women
too much to be you know, labeled as someone who
degraded women, you know what I'm saying, even going back
(27:54):
to having being a father.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
I have a father, so I know, and I felt guilty.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
I took account ability as well, because I'm like, okay,
like even though I don't I know my intentions, all
the women is on my head about it.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
They right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
They had their reasons, and I was like, probably a
sense of me should have said, okay, this ain't right,
but you know, you in the moment, you're trying to
create the best content and you having fun and that's
just how it is and you don't really think of it.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
But I'm thankful for the situation.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
I take accountability because next time, if it's something that
I feel is too much, like I know, like okay.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
Nah, we ain't doing it, or we ain't doing this
or whatnot.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
But people don't understand you young too, man, So there's
a lot of mistakes that you're gonna make in you know,
the internet is just a weird place anyways, because you
can't you can't do anything.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
They wait on it.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
They waiting on it.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
And I feel like the thing of the nature that
that made me mad. On the flip side of me
being understanding it was also a side of me that
it was like, Yo, I've.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Seen people the gray women in real life.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
I mean like I've seen I've seen I've seen certain
artists whooped somebody as women as I've seen, not even artists,
I've seen clips of women can be like I've seen
the sexuals assaults not in person, because if I would,
I'll fuck up whoever doing it.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
I promise I would. I don't even play like that.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
And I feel like when they was coming to me
like that, it was assassinate my character because I whooped
the shit out of anybody.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
That degraded women around me, like on a real level,
you know what I'm.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
Saying, But you know, I respect that, but also too,
like some people like to be degraded in sex, and
I feel like it was like in theme, right, Like
I get some people don't want to put things in public,
and then they're also concerned about what their kids are seeing,
how they're being inspired. But it's almost one of those
things where it's like it was a learned lesson for you.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
Like you said, like the.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Women invited it, they're the ones that asked you to
do it. Of course you had a choice whether you're
going to do it or not, but like you said,
you were in the moment and it just happened.
Speaker 7 (29:56):
And let's also bring to the forefront how people be
putting their kids on leashes. Let's not let's not forget.

Man, Come on now, one more viral moment I must
speak on and ask your opinion about that one when
you're like by the pool and you're just you're speaking something.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I think.
Speaker 12 (30:22):
I think that life is like life is what it is,
but life is not what's made made of what life was.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
There was like one of the five times I've ever
been drunk.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
In my life, was trying to make sense for real.
But nah, I was drunk as hell, but it made sense.
Life is what life is, just life, Life is life.
I was drunking because of.
Speaker 10 (30:51):
It.

that John like three days ago.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
So we got Collinwood two and the deluxe. Why is
it called Cottonwood two? Kitten Wood two is where I'm
from in Memphis. Represents my birthplace, you know, it represents
a rebirth for me. That's why I named the cotton
Wood two. You know, I feel like a whole different
person than when I first made it. My head's place
wasn't the same. I was just going through the motions
(31:35):
the first time. I still got a gold, gold, EP,
platinum EP. And now it's like I put my best
for Ford musically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, on marketing, wise, visually whatever.

Of course, you know I grew up listening to him
watching them in mind him as an idol, Rick Ross
the bog listen to him and admirry him as an artist.
Speaker 8 (32:08):
What's your favorite song on the Project Champions?
Speaker 10 (32:11):
Why?
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Because I feel like I've been an underdog all my life,
Like I've always had my back against a while. I
always had to make a statement, you know, with then
knowing that I know that hundred dollars ain't gonna be
the underdog all the like one day when them tellle Stern.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
It's gonna stay.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
What's your expectation for this?
Speaker 5 (32:30):
M hm, Grammys it's my best body of work.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And I agree with that.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Yeah, it's just Grammys and just reaping reaping the benefits
of something I put, you know, my heart into. Like
when I listen to my music, it's like listening to
like Blood, It's like listening to the artists that.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Music is listening to. You got Wayne his flowers too, man?
I thought that was really dope. I had to because
a lot of I feel like a lot of young
artists don't do that, you know what I'm saying. With
the people that paved the way, that.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Was pretty much the thing.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
I feel like people don't want to do it until
the cash could drop and people want to throw their
flowers or them my shit.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Now, yeah, being nine, you know what I'm saying. So
but n l e jib.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
But we appreciate you for stopping by the baller alert.
So much success to you. Before we get out of here,
we got.
Speaker 10 (33:16):
A PEP talk.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Was in La trouble. I want to give you all
the PEP talk. First and foremost is three rules I
live by to be successful. First one is keeping God first,
staying he did in prayer and just knowing that I'm
not the one that control.
Speaker 5 (33:32):
I'm surrendered to the most High every day I wait.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
Secondly, having discipline, you know, focusing on the goal, working
towards daily and staying grounded throughout the process to achieve it.
And thirdly, having faith because with faith comes patience. If
you're not patience, you won't have faith. And those are
the three things I live by God, discipline, and faith.
(33:57):
Then on the flip side, it's five things that got
me enlightened to the mindset i'm in now. First one
was prayer, second one with meditation, The third one was
switching my diet, fourth one was stopping drug usage, and
the fifth one was changing who I hung around, so
(34:17):
I prayed those eight things although to eight gyms I
just dropped, can help you help talking?
