Speaker 5 (04:26):

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Y'all, y'all gotta come out with some old movies. Damn man,
I'll be saying one movie to come out once every
whole weeks.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
They need to come out with it more frequently.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well, what's going on that's frequent right now? DJ Drama
versus Meek Mill. Did you guys see that over Memorial Day?

Speaker 5 (04:42):
The Philly Bulls.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Bullet.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I said, what did you see?

Speaker 6 (04:49):
What happened? What happened?

Speaker 5 (04:50):
I kind of saw, but it was something about it
was a tweet.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
First, Meek Mill did a tweet. Well, yeah, he didn't like.
He didn't like me what Drama said, Yeah, yeah, he
didn't like. What Drama saying about Drake is like the
jay Z's generation.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Of this generation.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
This generation, Yeah, beefing over a female.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
It's not in my group chat. But listen, my ear
is going to be to the streets when I hit
Philly on Thursday, so I might be able to get
a little intel and get back to y'all on that one.
But as far as Drake being the jay Z of
this generation, when I think of jay Z, I think
from the from the streets city stage and Drake, we
love you Rby, but you've never been in the streets.
So I don't think that qualifies him in that way. Now, rap,

(05:38):
you know, numbers wise and then platinum selling and you
know all of that. Yeah, but jay Z's story is
that he was sluinging rocks.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
He had them things in the trunk. Drake, No, but
me was in the streets and Meek was in the streets.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
I respect that.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
I think what I was thinking, I don't know about
having them things in the trunk, but he from even
Burks and that's that's that's the trenches.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
The way I just about it was who was a
bigger artist like globally Like Drake is obviously that man globally,
But if we're talking about the streets, I feel you.
But I think he was just talking about who's.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
A bigger artist artist well aspect And I feel like.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
The J Drama was entitled to his opinion. One type
of J Hill it was on his podcast was my
guy friend of the show, and he said he grew
up to me. So I feel like everyone's just to
have their own opinion. I do think something's something else
going on.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Get mad at that.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Can't get mad at something like that.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
It's something to underlying know about.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
That kind of just triggered it.

Speaker 8 (06:38):
He also said Drama also said that Dreams and Nightmares was.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Like, oh yeah, taking shots at me a lot lately.

Speaker 8 (06:51):
Drama and said, for really that particular year, do you
think that being a Philly native that dreams and Nightmares
is you know, under I want to rock.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
No Dreams and Nightmares is like free ways, what we
do that will that song will never die.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
Oh my gosh, I love this.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
That song will forever be a Philly anthem. And that
song will forever no matter what city you in, wherever
you at, what type of party it is, you put
that on, everybody's gonna go, oh, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
What country, different countries and they play.

Speaker 5 (07:24):
I don't see people that I want to rock as
a good song. It's it's the.

Speaker 6 (07:27):
Song of the time.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
It's actually big, it's huge, But I don't see that
having a longevity that knocking off with. First of all,
no shade, but there isn't any There isn't any lyrics.
It's just a to like there's no songs, there's no verses.

Speaker 6 (07:43):
Yeah, so I don't know, but.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
I don't think that he was in this situation. I
don't think he was talking about lyrically either. I think
he was just talking about how big of a song
it is, like how big the recurrent?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
I guess what Only time will tell, because we'll we
got like fifteen years in with dreams of Nightmares.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah, I mean it might not. It might not be
one of those songs that is everlasting, timeless like it
might not be that, but for right now, in this moment,
you really can't go nowhere without hearing that song.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Very true.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
I mean, people still playing Dreams and Nightmares. That that's
the only reason that I feel like me, I don't
feel like like Jams and Nightmares has paid its dues.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
It's dreams and me trying to retire it himself about
five years ago, and it still ain't going nowhere, right.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
We do.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
Like you said with the Free Freeway, that song is
just that's that's really when I hear it.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
Absolutely well.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I hope they can squash this, uh, this little argument.
I don't think they're gonna be friends. I'm gonna be
real well, they're not friends. Thought speak about the Tiny
Desk performance and yeah I'm on red and yeah you

Speaker 4 (10:17):
This is the first time you talked with some doubts.

Speaker 6 (10:20):
In regards sports.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
So we gotta, we gotta, we gotta steep mountain. The clown,

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Stuttering and scratch on the back of your head.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Swept watch wow, bring come on? What's next? O?

Speaker 5 (10:40):

Speaker 6 (10:40):
All right? We got love versus money?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
And is here it's love versus money on the ball
or alert show yay?

Speaker 8 (10:50):
So love versus money is I'm gonna give a couple
and then you let me know if they're there for
the money or if it's love.

Speaker 6 (10:56):
So today we have Tim and Bria, and.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
You know this story.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
I'm familiar with this story. There was a side baby
and the woman who had his baby is claiming that
they were really in a real relationship and that his
wife is only there for the book. And they were
going back and forth on Instagram comparing notes and posting,
and this is the woman who had his baby. Is
she really came with a whole lot of receipts, like
they in selfies together and he rubbing the belly and

(11:24):
it's like, you know, they got these together. I mean,
they had a baby, so okay.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
But if the woman who had the baby is saying
that the wife is only there, it is only there
for the look that what is he the marriage for?
You can't just put it all on the wife, saying
you're just doing You're just staying with him because it's
a good look for you.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
Why is he still think what she meant was that
him having a wife was a better look for him professionally.
The yeah, well now you got a side baby. Listen,
I'm a side baby.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
I mean the thing about it is if he got
married because it was a good look, like clearly he
wasn't worried about sustaining that good look, like he went
decided to.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
And now he got a good little baby, so you
wasn't doing too much hot and know what she was
doing for the money? Is the wife there for the
lover for the money? I think she might be there
for the money, because why are you staying around if
he clearly has this whole other relationship that I feel
like she knew about.

Speaker 6 (12:24):
Oh wow, oh.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Money.

Speaker 9 (12:31):
Well, if he's paying, she's staying. So I'm gonna say
she there for the money. It's all about the.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
Money, And I kind of feel like it's cheaper the
keep her.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
I don't think she loved this man.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
She probably did.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
She's trying to look past.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
The they have children together, because that's a factor as well.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
The wife.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Do I think she's there because she really loves this guy?

Speaker 5 (12:55):
What?

Speaker 2 (12:55):
Yeah, it could be true. It could be I feel
like it could be true that she really he loves
him and she's willing to look past.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
She doesn't always end a relationship, and sometimes having a
side baby does not always end a relationship.

Speaker 9 (13:08):
So alerts man, that's that's true. But you're right, she
would keep it and he got a bad.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Okay, Uh, let's take a quick commercial. That is in
the building. We're gonna get in her business and hopefully
she gives us, you know, some tails or two.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
I want that tea hot, honey. We will be right

I think so.

Speaker 5 (14:16):
I mean we eight years in.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, you guys, one of the first podcasts that I
see that I saw on that type of Yeah, that
type of time. Now, how did it start?

Speaker 6 (14:25):
Wait?

Speaker 8 (14:25):
Wait, before we get there, we got our hall. We
gotta go to Philly first. We gotta know a little bit,
a bit more about Gigi first, can you tell us
the journey from Philly to Atlanta.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:36):
So, in a nutshell, I was a teenage mom. I
had a baby at the age of seventeen. Five months later.
I this is something I'm not proud of, but it's
part of my truth. I beat my mom with the
ironing board and she kicked me out, and I ended
up in my my fake brother's drug house, not like

(14:58):
the crack house where they selling the drugs, but where
they manufactured the drugs and kept the money. I ended
up living there with my five month old baby. From there,
her daughters, her father died five days after her second birthday.
I ended up becoming a drug mule. I went to Jamaica.
There was only one trip, but I went to Jamaica
and I swallowed ninety grams of heroin and I came

(15:18):
back with twelve and a half pounds in the suitcase weed.
I got caught with the weed. I got arrested in
JFK Airport. I was processed through Rockers Island. My bill
was paid. I was sent to some projects in Harlem.
And the lady, she was a Jamaica lady, and she
gave me and that I'll never forget this lady. She
gave me a plate of food, a blunt and some

(15:39):
weird tea concoction, and she said, smoke, eat drink, and
when your stomach started bubbling, come wake me up. So
I lay on her college with a blanket and about
I don't know, sometime in the middle of ninth the
stomach started bubbling and she I woke her up, and
she gave me a zip black bag, a bucket and
some gloves and she said, as they come out, rinse
them off and put them in the bag. And it

(16:00):
took me all night long. The sun was up by
the time I was done, and two of them were craped.
So it was only a matter of time. If one
of them would have broken, I would have died. Fast
forward to I got that money, and I thought that
money would change my life.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
And how much was it?

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Five thousand dollars? But I was nineteen, This was in nineteen.
It was in two thousand, and I thought that it
would change my life. It didn't. So I ended up
moving into my godsister's unfinished, mildew musty basement.

Speaker 6 (16:28):
And how was your baby at this time?

Speaker 5 (16:32):
She's now three, okay, and she does hair and she
has these clients that work at this prestigious gentleman's club
in Philadelphia called Delilah's, which is like Cheetah here, and
she's telling me, like, you should dance. Now, I have
a dance background since the age of four. I've been
on stage, taped, ballet, that whole thing. I went to
a performing arts high school in Philadelphia and thought that

(16:54):
I did so. I always thought that I would be
like somebody's background dancer on tour with Jennie, you know,
at the Grammy's, at the performance and you know, this
was always the life that I had projected for myself.
I did end up on stage and make a lot
of money, but it just wasn't no stages. But anyway,
so she's like, you should dance and I'm like, no,
I shouldn't because at the time, I'm very ignorant to

(17:15):
the different levels of clubs. I think that every club
is like a truck stop club or a hood rat
club where these girls are stuck in dick for forty
dollars on the corner or fucking themselves on stage with
corona bottles, and I'm just like, I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Right.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Fast forward to I met a ball player who played
for the Sixers at the time, and I remember it
played back in my head while we were at dinner.
Excuse me that my sister was telling me about this
club and she said that it is frequent hit by athletes.
So I asked him about the club and he's like,
but you know about it, and I'm like, somebody told
me I should work there. He said you would do that,
and I'm like, I never. Then, I don't know where'd

(17:49):
you meet the ball player at with a So I
used to hang out with this girl. So I used
to date this Jamaican drug dealer, like real big drug
dealer in Philly, and his sister like play sister. I
used to hang out with her, so she was like
a little older than me and kind of like took
me under her wing. And I used to think she
was so fly like she always had like the latest
and the greatest, and she's body was banging. She drove
a e class bend, and I just always kind of

(18:10):
looked up to her. So she kind of like took
me under her wing. And we was out hanging out
one day and she introduced me to the ballplayer guy. Okay,
so we go to the club after dinner and I'm
y'all his the floor.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Was the Jamaican girl working in the club.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
No, oh, okay, So me and a ballplayer after dinner,
we go to this club and I'm floored by what
I see. So there's this one girl who's on stage
and she's given like this great performance like poll tricks.
And me having a technical dance background, I can tell
that she has one as well, because she really knew
what she was doing.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
You had a real appreciation for it.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
Absolutely. So he sees how I'm myraing this girl on
stage and he gives me money. I go to the
stage to tip her, and it's my little cousin she
had just turned eighteen two weeks ago. She had been
working there since her eighteenth birthday, and we like, what's
your one and and I'm like, I need a job.
So that's how I started dancing. She put you on,
she did, yeah, shout out the brandy. Her name was
kat At Delilahs. And she was the one who told me,

(19:06):
like showed me the ropes. Like something about the strip
club that most people don't know that there's no training,
there's no manual. It's it's it's trial and era. You know,
you live, you learn by doing.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
So that's why we go to the strip club and
you see some girls, you're like, man, she can't down here.

Speaker 5 (19:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
So okay, I've worked at strip clubs for a while
as a host in DJ. So usually the beginners are
earlier on right and then the main girls to come
prime time.

Speaker 5 (19:32):
Yeah, I worked day shift. They may be work day
shift for thirty days. I was able to start working
nights probably maybe three days prior to my thirty days,
but I worked day shift.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
So is there like a like a buddy system, like
a stripper mentor, like someone.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
Can take you through your wing? Oh? Absolutely not.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
My cousin helped me.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
Yeah, and that's why I've always in return given that
back because she like the name and everything.

Speaker 6 (19:57):
Line, did she help you with a routine or not
a routine?

Speaker 5 (19:59):
I thought I needed a learning routine, but I didn't
need to seed watching watch and then you would get
on stage and try and then working in the daytime,
it's like, really nobody in there, so you can have
all the bloopers and all the practices all of that. Yeah.
So I actually got fired from that club because I
flashed the girl in her face with champagne glass.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Damn.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
Rumor says it's a bottle, but it wasn't a bottle.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
It was a glass.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Now how did we get to that? What happened?

Speaker 5 (20:26):
We were? First of all, the girl never liked me
because allegedly I saw her boyfriend, but I didn't know
he was your boyfriend.

Speaker 6 (20:31):
I was going to ask that, how was the bee
for the usually over men?

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Or money?

Speaker 6 (20:35):
Was the environment of women? How is that in the club?

Speaker 5 (20:39):
So everybody's hustling for the same dollar. So even though
this your homegirl and y'all ride or die to the end,
y'all still trying to get the same dollar. And a
girl that don't like you. She's trying to get the
same dollar too, So there's that dynamic. But as far
as this particular girl, I came into the club and
met a guy and we started dating. Allegedly he used
to date her. I had no idea. I ain't been
here before. I don't know you were him. So we

(20:59):
kind of was in the same circle and just didn't
speak to each other. But she didn't like me. So
fast forward to I don't know a year or so later,
and we're arguing over something. I don't even remember what
it was, but she's some type of Latino and she
starts speaking Spanish to me, and I don't know Spanish,
but these hands is international, Okay. I had a glass
in my hand because I was fresh out of the

(21:20):
champagne room, and I didn't drop the glass before I
hit her. I still had this scar. I got hurt,
she got hurt. I got fired.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Are you still okay? So I don't want to jump
cities now? Are we still in Philly?

Speaker 5 (21:32):
That was in Philly?

Speaker 2 (21:32):
How soon into the story is Magic City was?

Speaker 5 (21:35):
So that was in two thousand and one. So I
started in two thousand. That was mid to the March
two thousand and one, I moved on to another club.

Speaker 6 (21:44):
Tilly did a year a Delilah's a year in a year.

Speaker 5 (21:46):
In three months. Yeah. So I started another club. I
was there for about two years, and then I decided
that I wanted to bartend. So I went to bartending school.
I left the club that I was at. I started bartending.
I met a guy and we kicked it off. He
became my boyfriend, and then he tried to kill me?
What what may he rest in peace?

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (22:05):
Okay, okay, did you kill him? First?

Speaker 5 (22:08):
He had a heart attack while he was having sex.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh wow, wait, okay, but.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
He was like abusive or something.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Gods, ways, Lord, now, is this what happens after this pill?

Speaker 5 (22:22):
Yes, so so it goes back and forth. So I
tried to break up with him. He was he was
abusive before I tried to break That's I used that
to try to get away, and I left and I
came to Atlanta. It just so happened to be the
day of Hurricane Katrina.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Damn.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
I came to Atlanta. It's pouring down strential rains. I've
never seen ring like this in my life. I was
coming to stay with a family member to sleep on
the floor. I had my little Dodge Neon filled up
with his but ships I can fit in it, and
I had zero plan. I wanted to bartend again, but
I didn't have a plan. So the girl who I
was with at the time, I came down with a
well at the time, she was a friend and she

(23:03):
had been working at Magic since the All Star weekend
in like two thousand and thirty.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Or two or whatever.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
So she was coming back and forth and she kept
trying to tell me, like, you should come to Atlanta.
I'm making so much money. But I was this because
being meth was heavy that time. I was one hundred
and ten pounds soaking with in a cups. So a
lot of like ass very intimidated to come to Atlanta
with her to work. So I left and I came
here and she her best friend was best her best

(23:32):
friend's boyfriend was his best friend. So she told her
best friend where.

Speaker 6 (23:35):
We was at.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Oh, her boyfriend told my ex or whoever. At the time,
I was on mag the City stage. I want shit
on myself. I saw that man walk in the door.
I thought I was singing a ghost. So it was
a whole lot of back and forth, and so.

Speaker 6 (23:49):
He passed away before you even moved moved back back. No, okay,
so the.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
Heart attack actually happened before I left, but he had
forever heart problems the way he actually died, and this
is like, U, this is the real story, because on
lip service we kind of leave it there just for
the cliffhanger. So he really thought that man died in
my vagina. He actually didn't, right, No, so he so

(24:16):
now he has heart problems. He's on heart medication and
blood dinners for the rest of his life. And he
was in the streets, so fast forward to whatever he
had going on. Somebody put him in the trunk and
pulled a gun out on him, and I guess he
knew he was about to die. He had a heart attack,
so they shot him and burned his body. So they
found the body burning in the trunk, and everybody thought
that he died from the gunshots and being burned, but

(24:37):
the autopsy report showed that he had a heart attack.
So his mother actually called me because when he had
a heart attack and he ended up in ICU, I
had to call his mom and tell her Miss Denise
Johnny in the hospital. And then when we got to that,
I had to go pick her up and bring her
to the hospital. And when we got there, he's laying
in the bed with the ivy's in his arm and
the heart monitors and his mom fall. Kroszy looked like

(25:00):
and we walk in the hotel, I mean in the
hospital room, and he goes.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
Mom, look what she did to me? It was how
old was he?

Speaker 5 (25:07):
He was thirty one. I was twenty five.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
So by the time you go from Philly to Atlanta,
had you saved any money from dancing? Martlon? Yeah you weren't,
like did you make money dances?

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (25:18):
Yeah, I made money, but I was spending it fast money.

Speaker 6 (25:22):
The guy who was abusing was he taking care of
you too?

Speaker 5 (25:24):
He was helping?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Okay, yeah, okay. I want to know about Atlanta when
you came down here and.

Speaker 8 (25:30):
Now what she had to get you had to get
your body done, no I did, Yeah, yeah, we're going Okay.

Speaker 5 (25:37):
So when I came to Atlanta, literally the day of
Hurricane Katrina, I ended up going into Magic City with
my homegirl because she came to work. I came to
figure out my life. She was trying to get some money,
so I go into Magic with her and I have
the same jaw dropping moment that I had when I
walked into Lightless because it wasn't what I mean. I
didn't know what to expect, but it just it's something

(25:58):
I had never saw before. Like y'all know the vibes.
So when you see that for the first time, and
especially in two thousand.

Speaker 4 (26:03):
And five, you're like, oh, ship, that's a different time.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
Yeah. So I sat in the club for two days
with her while she worked, and then they're having their
amateur Night contest and shout out to DJ Nando, we
love to miss you. Nando was the DJ, and I
was convinced to do the ameragur Night contest even though
I was a nervous fucking wreck. And I told I
went into the DJ booth and I'm like, look, I

(26:27):
can dance my ass off, but I don't know none
of this music, so I don't know what I'm supposed
to do. But what would your advice be? So he
was like, well, what did you dance when you dance?
What did you dance to? And I'm like, Michael Jackson,
Jana Jackson, Tina, Marie Prince.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
Whole Lie, I did ask, That's what I say.

Speaker 6 (26:43):
It was like, chead, you're right, I get on.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
Stage and he played, I want to be starting something, mama.
When I tell y'all, I lost my mind. So Big
Match actually came to me I want to but before
I even won, because they had they had me and
some other girl do kind of like a dance off
at the end, and before I even won, Big Match

(27:09):
came to me and said, who are you? What's your name?
You live here, you work?

Speaker 2 (27:12):
You want a job?

Speaker 5 (27:13):
You got a job. You need a job because I
need you to do that on my stage every night.
And I'm like, I used to dance, but I haven't
danced in two years and I'm bartend now. He's like,
dancing to you, not after what I just saw. And
I'm like, I'm like, I want to bartend. Can I
have a bartender job? And he's like, no, you want
to dance? He say, think about it, and if you
decide to do it, let them know I hired you.

(27:34):
So I told my homegirl, She's like, bitch, if you
feel better, okay, Well now I'm dancing again. So I'm
back to working daishiat right. So I'm actually working and
made the city from three to three monthy through Saturday.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Because I had that's still good though, because it's Atlanta, right.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
Yes, I have nobody here. Me and this girl actually
fell out over her telling the boyfriend where the best
friend where I was at? And she went back to Philly.
And I'm sleeping on the floor at my cousin's apartment
at Fairburn. But sure y'all know how far that is.
And I'm literally I'll have I know nobody here, I
have no friends, I have no nothing. I don't wait
know my way around.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
When he when he came back, did he take you
or did did you did he just leave you be?

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Or oh he waited out in a parking lot by
my car, and he literally, just by coincidence, I had
on a pair of shoes that he bought me that night.
And when I tell y'all, there was some Christian di
y or mules like just when I tell y'all, ripped
them shoes on my feet while I was handing it
in them look like a cartoon. You know how you
take you don't take the tame woman, right. He did
that to my shoes, so that caused a big fight.

(28:32):
He stole my phone. I followed him to his hotel.
It was like a big thing and then I never
spoke to him again, and then I got the call
from one of my friends back home that they found
his body, and then I called his mom and then literally,
like I don't know, a month or so later, his
mom called me back and told me that it was
a hard attack.

Speaker 6 (28:47):
Did you get like a sigh of relief that you're
gonna have to deal with him again or you had
been had that?

Speaker 5 (28:52):
I had that from that last encounter. Okay, yeah, now
may he rested piece and I mean mad. You know,
he did hurt me in a lot of different ways,
but hurt people hurt people. So in order to forget,
you must forgive and move on. So that's where I'm
at with that. But anyway, fast forward to now I'm

(29:14):
back in Atlanta, and so the body. Yes, so I'm
working day shift, and I always wanted to get my
breast done, even back when I was working at Delilah's
and cheerleaders, because those I always felt like the girls
with the cities made the more money. Anybody care about asses,
but the girls with the cities up there made the
more money. And you know, I worked in the Gentlemen's club,
the Caucasian establishments, so you know, white man like toodies.

(29:36):
So I actually had a sugar daddy back in two
thousand four, maybe a year before I left.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
How did you acquire this sugar daddy?

Speaker 7 (29:47):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (29:47):
In the club they.

Speaker 6 (29:49):
Flooded with sugar daddies.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
I bet was this your first sugar daddy, this particular
one though he was probably he was probably probably like
number seven, yeah, maybe talking four year then this is.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Daddy.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
Yeah, yeah. So he gave me five thousand dollars cash
to buy some tits and at the time, I didn't
have a car. So I'm like, do I want to
get these cities done and still be taking a cab
to work? Or do I want to take this money
and use it as a down payment with my little
credit and give me your car. So I called them
and I'm like, I'm going to use this money to

(30:23):
get a car.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
I'm like, well, I me to your knee on.

Speaker 5 (30:26):
That's how I got the knee on. Oh okay, okay, yeah,
that was the car I bought. That was how I
got Yeah. So I called them and I'm like, you know,
I'm going to use this money for a car and
I will eventually get my breast done. So working at
made the City three to three Monday through Thursday, Monday
through Saturday. For six weeks. I saved the thirty bands
by the time I went back to Atlanta. By the
time I went back to Philly, it was my daughter's

(30:48):
ninth birthday. I threw her a huge birthday party. I
paid a down payment for a house here. I got
my cities done. I stayed in Philly for about two months,
and then when I came back, I picked up my
daughter and I bought her back with me because she
was in She was in Maryland with my sister. So
I came back New Titties with my kid, with all

(31:08):
my ship in the U hard truck, got a little
crib and now I'm settling. So I'm thinking when I
come back to make the City that the Titties is
gonna get me. Nobody cared. Nobody care.

Speaker 6 (31:22):
He was like, how you coming right here?

Speaker 5 (31:25):
So even before I was about to leave to go,
I told Mikey, y'all know, little Madge. I told a
little madge, I'm like, I'm gonna get my I said,
I'm going home to get my daughter and all of that.
But I'm gonna be going for a couple months because
I'm gonna get my titties done. He said why. I
was like, because I want him.

Speaker 6 (31:39):
I've been wanting for a long time.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
He's like, get your ass done. Don't get your titties done.
Nobody's gonna care. And he was right. So I came
home and I thought that the titties was gonna matter.
And the titties didn't matter. So I got on the
phone and I called my homegirl and I was like,
what's the lady number? Y, Yes, I did.

Speaker 4 (31:55):
I gotta go see the lady.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
How what's up with the table? I'm trying to lay
on it?

Speaker 2 (31:59):
How much was the as shots?

Speaker 5 (32:01):
So it varies, So it all depends on how much
you got and what they're trying to do. Well who
you go to, because some people will give you twenty
five hundred dollars worth and some people will be like,
I'm not doing that much at once. So at the time,
I don't know what it is now, but at the time,
the least amount you could do was like five hundred dollars.
So my very first time I did the five hundred dollars.

(32:24):
And then I want to say, over the course of
like eight nine years, I probably went about twelve to
fifteen times. What but and I was always small, like,
I'm still very small. I just got ask some cities down,
but I'm still a very petite woman, So I didn't
want to just go and pop out with ass. Yeah,
it gradually and I gained weight over it, and you know,

(32:46):
over time, you know, I added hips and now I
have you know what we got going on here? And
I've since then, I'm I'm about to be on my
third round of breast and plans because I had my
breast done again. After that, I've had light bo twice.

Speaker 8 (32:58):
And why is it wasn't to your liking or you
just want to feel mold or something your whole, like
you said the LIFO and then you're getting your breast
done there.

Speaker 5 (33:07):
Okay, so I hated my titties the first time. So
what people don't know about plastic surgery is the surgeons
are not magicians. Right. You can't take them a picture
and say I want to look like this if you
don't have that for them to work with. So basically,
all they do is enhance what you already have. So naturally,
with me being then a cup, I had a wide

(33:27):
space in between my breasts, so when I got my
titties done, I still had this wide space in between
my breast and it looked like they just didn't get along.
And I did not like that. So I kept them
for five years and then I got them redone. And
when I got them redone, the surgeon that I went
to here actually doctor Jefferson, doctor j Curves. I went
to him like before he was I'm now yeah, So
I went to Jake Curves and he actually closed me up.

(33:49):
So now I don't have that space, and I love
the rest I have now. However, we're thirteen years past that,
and I at ten years I got them examined and
the doctor at the time told me, as long as
they don't bother you, don't bother them. They're in perfect shape.
Don't worry about them. But in my mind, having this
in my body for thirteen years, I'm freaked the fuck out.
So at this point I plan to get them done

(34:12):
sometime within the next two months. And I actually have,
you know, with my grandeur of being gg Maguire, I
get all of these perks, and free surgery is when
of it works, so this time around I won't have
to pay for them. The first pair I paid seventy
five hundred. For the second pair, I paid five thousand
and four. So this time they're gonna be free. And
the same with the life Boat. I recently just did

(34:33):
life bo in December, and that's because it was free.
First time I got LiPo done it was also free.
But the first time I got LiPo done, I only
got it across the smaller my back, And the reason
being is because the silicon from my butt shots had
rolls up and created like a roll across like my
belt line here. And I was actually going to see

(34:54):
the surgeons because I wanted to get fillers in my face,
and he was like, well, if you have any fat
that I can take, I can actually prosper. That's that,
and it'll be a natural a more natural filler than
a ready East or whatever you've learned. But when he
went to take the fat out, he's like, this ain't
even fat as silicon. Oh, so I couldn't use it.

Speaker 6 (35:09):
Do you have problems with your butt like most of
these women are facing right now?

Speaker 5 (35:13):
The problems I have, The number one problem I have
is that I can't sit on hard surfaces for too long.
It becomes to be uncomfortable. I can't really sleep on
a hard mattress, you know how you like sleep on
one side After a while, I have to switch to
the other side because it just creates a not really pain,
but an uncomfortable almost like a numbness. The other thing
is smacking my ass. Be gentle because that smack echoes deeply,

(35:39):
Like if I walk into a door knob or a
sharp corner, I feel like I got stabbed. So it's
very sensitive. And in the beginning I had some discoloration,
but over the years that has kind of mellowed out.
And the only problem I have right at this very
moment is the very last time I went to get
a touch up, which was in seventeen, twenty seventeen. I

(36:01):
don't know if the lady that I was going to
if she switched product or whatever, but that whatever she
used the last time, and now this is the reason
why I'll never go again. Is it my body encapsulated
it so in the spots where she touched me up
that I now have lumps because my body attacked it
and created like a scar tissue around it, so like

(36:22):
literally like you can feel like before it was perfectly
soft and everything was fine. But now there's like lumps
on the side.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
So with your butt and breast, let's say you get
them both touched up, are you going bigger, smaller, same size?

Speaker 5 (36:34):
So with my breast, I probably stay within the same size.
The only way that I would go bigger is if
the doctor recommended that based on the stretching of the skin.
As far as my bud's concerned, I'm not touching.

Speaker 6 (36:46):
My butt no more. You would never get it taken
out either, would you.

Speaker 5 (36:49):
If it was life threatening?

Speaker 4 (36:50):
Okay, But even with like everything you just shared about
it being uncomfortable, you can't sit on hard surfaces, you
can't lay on one side like that wouldn't encourage you
to want to remove them.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
Listen, I mean it's been since two thousand and six,
so I'm in it.

Speaker 8 (37:05):
Yeah, Like you can't take a long flight. I can't,
but I'll have to eventually stand up.

Speaker 6 (37:10):
You can't sit on like a pillow or anything.

Speaker 5 (37:12):
I can. Okay, yeah, that'll help. But it's mainly like
and when I say a long period of time, I
don't mean just like two hours. I mean like six
seven hours. Okay, you know eventually flight, So on an
international fight, you won't get up in pe once twice anyway,
So you know, as long as I like relief for
a few minutes in this.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Question, Yeah, now you got got the Bible, you got
the butt. Now you're a magic city. And of course
we know back in back in this timeframe, the celebs
are pouring through that moth. Yes, And what's the most
money you have made in the night?

Speaker 5 (37:48):
So on a regular regular any given Monday, Saturday, Friday,
whatever night, I would say probably seven eight nine. On
a birthday you know how we had the birthday set, Yeah,
seventeen thousand and my last dance was close to thirty.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Yeam, Now, who's like your favorite favorite celebrity. Did you
have regular celebrities?

Speaker 5 (38:12):
I didn't have regular celebrities, but I will say that
there was an appreciation because y'all know the snack pack, right,
That's how I was going to go to the snack Yeah,
so there was an appreciation. There was a huge appreciation
for the talent. So when you would have artists like
Lloyd and Neo who are also to usher, they would

(38:33):
appreciate our show because they the same way when I
saw my cousin agents my cousin, like when you see
somebody like, oh, they're doing that. Oh that's God given. Say, okay,
then you appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
People who don't know what's the snack pack?

Speaker 5 (38:45):
So snack Pack is Magic City's very first premiere whole
dance team or future group. And I created that.

Speaker 6 (38:53):
How did that come about?

Speaker 5 (38:54):
So it started with Gigi and Jojo. There's a girl
named Fierce who worked at Magic City and me and
her were like besties. And and y'all know the rotation goes,
when you walk in, you sign, you walk in, you
pay your bur fee, and there's a list, right, so
they do one two four five first stage, one to
three four five second stage right general rotation. So me
and Fierce was signing together, but then there was always

(39:15):
a random three girls that we were on stage with,
and we'd be on the stage doing all these crazy
pull tricks and dropping into the splits and standing on
the heads and doing all this shit, and they over
there two steps of but we would have to split
our money with them. So Mikey took heed to that
and he snatched us out of that, and he was like,
I'm gonna put y'all. I'm gonna separate y'all because I
see the work that y'all put in and it's not
fair that. And it almost got to the point where

(39:36):
girls would want to sign up with us because they
knew we was gonna make money on it.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
Yeah, they knew, let's work and get a lot of money.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
So he separated us. He gave us twelve o'clock and
two o'clock, and then that lasted for about a year
or two, and then she decided that she wanted to
go back to school and she wasn't gonna dance anymore.
So now I'm stuck in general pop by myself, and
I wasn't trying to do that. So at the same time,
there was an Onyx opening up Philly, and Philly never
had a big booty club before, Like they are little

(40:04):
teeny hood clubs, but they never had like a big
booty club where the celebrities is getting booked and it's
that bottles and sections and that whole thing. So this
was new for Philly. So I ran my happy ass
back home and got those trash bags off that stage
for a good six seven eight months. And then when
I came back, Mikey is like, well, while you were gone,

(40:24):
there's a group of girls who have officially taken over
the shop. Now they don't get twelve and two, but
they signed in together and they kind of do the
whole potriits and everything, and he's like, if you want,
I'll make y'all the new set. So I'm like, okay, cool,
I fuck with them, like I'm I was friends with
all of them, so I'm like, I'm rocking with that.
Let's do that. So we went so corny. We wanted

(40:47):
our name to be the NPA, the National Poll Association,
because he was just you know, he was a pros
but that was what and escot out the ESCO DJ
Esco Escho was Magic Cities DJ, and they are I'm
very petite. I'm five to five and very petite, but
they were all like five to two and under five
three and under, so very bite sized. So he called

(41:10):
us the snack Pack so he would be like snackpicks
at the stage, snackpakes to the stage, and that just stuck,
and now we're known as the snack Pack. So I
left Magic City in twenty eleven. The Snack Pack continued
on until each of them eventually left. Two of those
girls are actually actresses on Pea Voley right now, and
the other two. I'm not really sure because we weren't
as close, so I don't really know where they are

(41:31):
in the world. But Magic City has continued on with
the cruise, So when you go to Magic City, you're
going to see the girls doing the poetricks and all
of that. They still a lot of them still do
the poetricks that we created with the snack pack, So
that part, when I go in there and I see that,
I'll be like, all type of story, It's crazy.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
You're really a legend in these streets.

Speaker 6 (41:51):
Girl.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
It's amazing because I just be like, who me?

Speaker 4 (41:55):
Yeah, But how do you go from like, what's the
transition between like getting your respect, your due respect, from
coming from the strip clubs to now being on podcasts
being a businesswoman? Like, was that a struggle to get
that respect? Because I feel like we already know what
happens to the strip club Like it ain't just people
coming to spending money, throwing ones like they're probably demanding sex.

(42:17):
They want sex from them, So how are you transitioning.

Speaker 5 (42:20):
I'm gonna be mean no matter what, which is why
I wear my government name around my neck and diamonds
so people will always know no matter what I'm gonna
be Coffee, right, That's me. Gigi is the personality, Gigi
is the go getter, Gigi is who we all know
in love for the Theatris and that whole thing. But
I'm gonna always be genuine to who I know I am,
and that's coffee. So with that being said, my respect

(42:43):
is gonna come because of what I get right, and
I'm always give genuine. I'm always giving real, I'm always
give honest, and people respect that. And what I did
at Mega City or any club all over the world
that I have been able to grace the stages of
it was work. That was a performance. I was sharing
my talent. You know, I was being paid. I was

(43:04):
on the job. So as far as like bridging the two,
when it comes to respect in this new world that
I am, I feel like it just comes natural because
I don't hide behind anything. I'm very upfront and very
forward with everything. I own everything I've said and done,
and people respect that in itself, and my my experiences

(43:27):
and my stories are fucking just yeah, I'm a fucking jit.
I'm a superhero life experience.

Speaker 6 (43:33):
Speaking of those stories, can you give us a couple
of group of.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Tales, tales who came in a tipping two three dollars,
Michael Jordan's Oh no, Michael Jordan's Michael Jordan's yes, yeah.

Speaker 6 (43:48):
You probably lost to bet that now you know. He
again called.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
Jordan, but I heard that he's not a big tipper
in any aspect.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
Any cool little stories you can, doll.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
I got so many stories. I don't know much. I
want to hear who spent the most money, but she wasn't.

Speaker 6 (44:05):
I was there after me.

Speaker 5 (44:07):
I want to say it was a group effort between
like Geezy t R, Gucci, Pacman, Jones, uh Neo didn't
really spend. I wouldn't say the most. He did spend,
but I wouldn't put him at the top of the
list of spenders.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
It was.

Speaker 5 (44:25):
It was mostly the rappers and the athlete O n P. Future. Yeah,
but future kind of came a little after the fact
because future wasn't future when I was. He was up future,
like the same way g Z Nando broke g was
he a big singers shout out to my bro Trey
songs songs always Well, he's like my bro, like we're

(44:49):
like this. We actually used to live together and it
was speculated that we were dating because I was always
around him and I was always the only female and
the crew, but never anything like that between me and him.
He just used to go about my friends. Yeah. I
actually popped popcorn one time and watched him fuck my
homegirl and I was giving her point. It's like, girl,
punch your toes. Watch that back, girl thought it.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
Yeah, so y'all used to live together.

Speaker 5 (45:09):
Yeah, what was that like? It was cool. So my
cousin was his manager, and that's how we met, and
he decided that he would buy a house here after
Trey recorded in the studio house here. Tredyd Would was
his second album, Delanonte Murphy. I don't know I y'all
know him. He's in the industry. So Delonte decided that

(45:30):
he wanted to buy a house here. And I was
living in this little ranch house in Riverdale with my daughter,
and I was always over there spending time at the
studio house. So when he decided he would buy a
house here, he was going to keep his condo in Jersey.
He's like, you and the baby shit, move into my
house so that way I can trust that somebody's there
watching the house while I'm always traveling. And then since
you always around anyway, you know, it'll be a better environment,

(45:52):
you'll have help with the baby. So I'm like, okay, cool.
So he bought this house off Camp Princeton Lakes. When
Princeton Lakes first opened up back there, I literally watched
them build the movie theater and the liquor store and
all of that over there. So anyway, we moved into
the house in Princeton Lakes and I had a room,
my daughter had a room, Delante had a room, Trey
had a room, and then there was He built the
studio in the basement and that's where they filmed recorded

(46:14):
Passion playing and Pleasure and Ready, and then everybody would
come through. So this is another as far as like
the respect and all that. So back in my stripper days,
I would be in the house and I'll use Drake
for a reference. So the very first time I met Drake,
he had came to the He had came to the
house to record Replacement Girl with Trey songs. And this

(46:34):
the studio wasn't even in the basement yet, it was
completely concrete. We had a stripper pole in the corner
and I sat down there the whole time with them,
and while they were recording, I would just roller blunt
pass it, rolled bun past it, roll past it. So
fast forward to like, I don't know, a year or
two later, I'm in Dallas dancing and I see Drake
and he's like, and I'm like, ye.

Speaker 6 (46:57):
Happened.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
That would happen a lot. It would be I would
meet somebody in that recording session or at a studio
or just hanging out with Trey, and then shot the
Clay because that's how I met Clay. Also Clay Evans. Yes, yeah,
shot the Clay. May he rest in peace. I love
that man. But so I would meet people in that
setting and then they would come in magic and then
they would be throwing money and then they would be like,

(47:19):
I'd like, remember me.

Speaker 6 (47:20):
Nobody was ever on the poll in the in the studio.

Speaker 5 (47:23):
The way that worked is it came from the studio
house and then they took it over there. So I
would instead of so since Trey was filming, since he
was recording, and Nockio from drew Hill was his A
and R. And he had a bunch of different producers
that were always in the house. Troy Taylor, who eventually
became my daughter's godfather, yeah, we're really close. We're also
like brother and sister. They would all be in the house,

(47:45):
so instead of them going out to the club, I
would bring the club to them. So I would bring
the girls to the house and the patron and the weed.
And that's what the stripper pole was.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
But you were you weren't.

Speaker 5 (47:54):
No, Yeah, I was in the corner round Bunz making drinks.

Speaker 6 (47:57):
So you left the strip club eventually, And what year
was that?

Speaker 5 (48:01):
Eleven?

Speaker 6 (48:01):
Eleven? Okay, so why did you leave?

Speaker 5 (48:05):
Yeah, love, I guess.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
So reship with this guy.

Speaker 5 (48:12):
So I started dating a record executive who shall remain
nameless while the mics are on. But we started dating
and he's a president of a very major label, so
he has artists here. And you know, he's from New York.
So the culture here is like, oh my bitch record
major city she live. But the culture there is like

(48:33):
how your girl work, How your girl working made the
city Like to them, I'm standing on I'm standing outside
greathoud on something. Dad, you know what I'm saying, Like,
that's how they look at it. We might as well
be street walking, jumping in and out of cars the
way that they look at dancing in New York. Well,
it's kind of changed over the years since, like Starlett's
and that whole Bernice in that whole thing, even though
it was like more of the Bartenders. But even still,

(48:53):
dance strip doesn't get the same respect up North that
he gets down South at all.

Speaker 6 (48:58):
It's a different culture.

Speaker 5 (48:59):
It's very different, very different. So it just got to
the point where any given Monday, one of his artists
could come in made the city and see elbows and
booty holes, you know what I'm saying. And he just
wasn't feeling that. So he just talked me into quitting,
and even though I was reluctant, I did and I
woke up the next day to a PLANTEUMX. So then

(49:19):
you had the last dance though, Yes, So what happened
with that is I came in to have my very
last Monday. So this was after we had this talk
and I decided I was gonna quit. I got damn
mixing my wallet and I came into Veda City for
my very last Monday, and I'm like, first things first,
I came down to the office, I sat down with
Mikey and I'm like, it's my last day. And he's like,

(49:40):
why I'm like I'm done, and he's like, but what, like,
what are you about to do? And I'm like, you know,
my guy isn't really feeling the vibes, and out of
respect to my relationship, I'm gonna transition into doing something else.
So I had already been teaching at the time, hold dancing,
So I'm like, I'm gonna just, you know, move on
to open up dance studio, but for now I'm gonna

(50:01):
teach full time. I was teaching part time. It's how
were you thirty one?

Speaker 6 (50:05):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (50:06):
So he's like, you can't just leave. You're not the
average dancer like you are. Gigi, Like you just can't
walk away, Like you gotta give the people something. You
gotta give you, Yeah, like you gotta give the family,
the friends, the fans. You gotta give one final performance.
So I'm like, all right, I'm gonnaigure it out. Mind Joe.
This was in June. This performance didn't happen until December

(50:28):
because there were so many moving pieces that had to
be worked out. The date, you know, birthday sets is
a thing. They wouldn't give me a Monday, so it
had to be on a Saturday, and I had a choreographer.
I had celebrity drops, I had props, I had a
whole music thing set up, a full arm production, we
had practicing. I had it filmed for DVD. I sold

(50:50):
five hundred DVDs and it was like a big thing.
So I had this final performance in December of twenty eleven,
and when I tell y'all, I left my soul on
that stage. I left every ounce of strip that I
thought I had left in it. That was like the
performance that I always wanted to give, because strip is

(51:11):
always like hitties, ass bend over, split, poetrick split, give
me the money, right. I wanted to show that there
can be production, there can be choreo, there can be
entertained changing, and there could be outfit swaps. And so
I wanted to give that that I had in me
all of these years. I wanted to give that, and

(51:32):
I did.

Speaker 6 (51:32):
Did your fiance come to the show?

Speaker 5 (51:34):
Yeah he was there. Oh we never got married, but
yeah he was there. Okay he did proposed a couple
of times I to know, but he was there.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
It sounds like it was like real theatrical, but like
a hood theatric.

Speaker 5 (51:45):
That's exactly what it was.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
But at this point, are you still dancing to like MJ?
And although I.

Speaker 5 (51:52):
Had speed it up and got with the time.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Now, so you didn't keep any of your older routines
And I did? Yeah, So I did.

Speaker 5 (52:06):
I did. I even the very first suck song on
that set was want to be Certain something. So what
I did with that performance is I took people on
the journey up from the beginning of my Magic City career.

Speaker 2 (52:16):
So it was the ending song then, like the ending.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
Song was Beyonce Dance for You, Okay, oh sexy, very sexy.
I did outfit change, I had props, I had a chat,
so I recreated flash dance so you know when she
pulls the string and the water comes down. That was
my finale, a step instead of water. It was two
thousand and ones and Era doesn't confetti to make.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
You made dollars very close to close to very close.

Speaker 5 (52:41):
In twenty eight minutes. Wow, it was like it was
almost like a thousand dollars a minute.

Speaker 6 (52:47):
Now, did that make you want to stay?

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (52:52):
I changed my mind.

Speaker 5 (52:53):
Listen, Honestly, I wasn't ready to go.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
I would keep the platinum A mix.

Speaker 5 (52:57):
I wasn't ready to go. I wasn't ready to go.
But what I did was since I was a future performer,
So during this time, I was getting booked in Philly
and d C. And Baltimore and Memphis and all these
different types of places to come be a future performer.
So I still continued to do that for about two years.
Let's see, Yeah, up until October thirteen, I continued to

(53:17):
do features, so I still kind of had a little yeah,
but then eventually it was all done. I had eventually
moved to New York, and once I moved to New
York to live with him, then all all best. It
was all about the dances.

Speaker 4 (53:29):
So when you get booked for a feature, is there
like a guarantee? Do you get a booking fee plus BOJSJ?

Speaker 5 (53:38):
Yeah, that was two thousand dollars was my base rate
plus travel and then everything that I made on stage.

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Now this is also you you have to stay in shape,
So how was your diety?

Speaker 5 (53:49):
Told me? Personally? Again, I'm very naturally fatigue. It's genetics.
But I was also raised to eat very healthy, Like
my mom was like a herbalist like she when we
was kids, like I didn't didn't have like fast food
until I was in like middle school, Like we weren't
allowed to eat like red meat and like like little kids,
we ate like like chocolate covered raisins and dried fruit

(54:14):
as s necks.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
Like.

Speaker 5 (54:16):
We wasn't having can dy and chips and all that
unless we were outside the house. Like inside the house,
everything was very healthy. All of the vegetables was fresh,
all of our meals were cooked like my mother's house was.
Everything happened at my mother's house every baby shower, at
every birthday party, every holiday, and when you was old
enough to be able to chop on you without chopping
off your pinky, then you had to be in the

(54:36):
kitchen cooking. So I kind of kept that going. I mean,
you know, I slipped the slide around the food you
know board as a young adult, but I always found
myself back to where I am now. I don't eat well.
I do got to Chick fil a cup, But I
promise y'all we had a solid it because I was starving.
But I haven't had fast food and almost a decade,

(54:57):
not more than a decade, almost fifteen.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
Years at this naturally already.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
And let me tell you, whole dancing is the best
workout a woman can do. It's core it's cardio, it's
full body, and I honestly, I wouldn't even know what
to do in the gym besides walking the traip.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Yeah, so I was gonna say, did you ever go
to the gym? So you never went to the gym.

Speaker 8 (55:19):
What people don't understand is a lot of the weight
loss and the maintainance in your diet.

Speaker 5 (55:24):
ABS are made in the kitchen. Abs are made in
the kitchen.

Speaker 8 (55:28):
But I was gonna say, you are aging gracefully and
your skin is really beautiful.

Speaker 4 (55:32):
I'm literally staring at your face like.

Speaker 5 (55:34):
So listeny, I just turned forty four. So I just
turned forty four. I have a twenty six year old daughter,
and July E letward Kaya, she's actually a director. She
went to film and photography school. She went to School
of Visual Arts in New York City for filming photography.
So very proud of her. She started production company. So

(55:55):
she's out here shooting like music videos for the little
hood rappers, and you know, she gets a little job
here and there where she does her thing. And I
am extremely proud of my child because you know, everybody
thought that she was gonna end up walking in my
footsteps because I exposed her to so much, but that
wasn't the case. She's the exact total opposite of me.
Only thing I got to worry about her taking out
my closet is my Jordan's and Mahoda.

Speaker 6 (56:15):
What was her feeling or how was you guys relationship
throughout that entire time with.

Speaker 5 (56:19):
Me being a dancer, so I always kept everything open
and I gradually fed her with I felt like she
would understand. So I never hid the shoes, the money
to close, the late nights, the drinking. I never hit
any of that from her. I just explained it to
her in a way that she would understand the order
that she got. So again, my dance technical dance background.

(56:39):
I was a part of a dance troup where we
would get hired to do like hair shows and that
type of thing back in Philly, and as a two
year old, she would come to those practices with me.
So it started with that, and then once I'm working
in the club, it's like, Okay, now Mimmy has a
job where she gets paid to dance at the club
every night instead of doing random shows. And then it's
like okay, MIMMI dance club is a little sexy. It's

(57:01):
adults only you know, and then I kind of gradually
like feeding in. But by the time she got the
middle school here in Atlanta and I'm gg maguire, she did.

Speaker 6 (57:12):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (57:13):
She was driving to school. Hello Infinny, she was lit.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Can I ask my angela ye? Question?

Speaker 8 (57:17):
Now, guys, one second before we get off of this,
I just want to know where did GG McGuire come from.

Speaker 5 (57:22):
The name Wayne. Surprisingly, he's not really so Gg. So
I was Ginger. And when I came to Magic City,
they already had a Ginger And even though she wasn't
actively working there anymore, she still had a Violet permit,
so they could not give me that name because as

(57:42):
long as her permit was violid, she can come to
work any time she wanted. So they were like, well,
just switch it to something, and I'm like, switch it
to what And they're like Gigi and I'm like, that's
what we call my grandmam. And they're like, so, want'll
be easy for you to remember. I'm like, all right, cool,
so and they're like, well, you know, after her permit
goes up, then you can switch it to the gender.
But I became so popular as Gigi that it just stuck.

(58:03):
So years down the line, I have a little adult
friendship with little Wayne, Like we were never in a relationship,
but we were. Yeah, we were cool. I would hang
out on no I would hang out on the tour
bus a lot Waynesboro. So here's your groupy tale. So
I'm hanging out with Lila Wayne and We're on the

(58:23):
tour bus and we're listening to some unreleased music and
he's like, Weezy Maguire, show me the money, and I'm like,
gg Maglia, show me and he's like, Yo, that's fire.
You should get that. You should get that. So it
just so happened to be coming up on my birthday.
This was in like two thousand and seven or eight,
and it was coming up on my birthday. And I've
always been very theatrical, right, so I will always come

(58:45):
with the ill themes and the and decorators and shit,
I would decorate the whole club. So this year I
did a GG versus GG maguire, a spind on the
whole Gemini thing. So Gigi was the girly girl in
pink with the curly ponytails and the Lollipop was his
song at the time, and the lollipop with the two right,
and then GG MacGuire was in the black power suit
with the silver briefcase, you know, looking real sophisticated. So

(59:07):
I went with that whole thing and I introduced myself
as GG maguire and it really stuck as from that point,
like people respected me enough to go first name, last
name with me, Okay, and I'm here for it.

Speaker 6 (59:17):
All right, Ryan, I'm sorry, go ahead, all right?

Speaker 2 (59:19):
So, now how did you meet Angelae? And then how
did lip service start?

Speaker 3 (59:24):
We'll be right by. Stay tuned with more of The
Baller Alert Show. You're listening to a special edition of
The Baller Alert Show.

Speaker 5 (59:35):
Hey, y'all, what's going on? You are tuned in to
The Baller Alert Show.

Speaker 6 (59:39):
Period.

Speaker 5 (59:40):
So Angela had lip service on SiriusXM prior to her
getting her job at Power, so she had to kind
of leave lip service and to the wayside when she
went to the breakfast club. Fast forward to when podcasts
started becoming a thing in twenty fourteen. She calls me
and she's like, I'm about to bring lipservice back as
a podcast and I want you to host with me.

Speaker 2 (01:00:02):
We were friends, Okay.

Speaker 6 (01:00:03):
Yeah, so you did you make any appearances on her
first I did. I came in.

Speaker 5 (01:00:08):
I came in as a as a guest, and we
did a whole segment about Magic City. It was pretty cool.
It was when I first moved to New York till
around twenty thirteen. Okay, so the way that we met
is she's really close friends with my ed. Yeah, the
one who made you leave the club. Okay, Yeah, so
they were close friends, and me and her created our
own friendship, and what fifteen years later, we're still going strong.

(01:00:34):
So lip Service has been going for eight years. We
won to Gracie a couple of years ago, and the
the co hosts have been interchanging throughout the years. But
I can probably say that I have been the only
co host that has never left and has been consistent. Now,
I might miss a couple of episodes here and there

(01:00:55):
because I lived in Atlanta, but but I've been the most.
I've been the only consistent co host by her side
for the entire time that it has been a podcast.

Speaker 8 (01:01:04):
Yeah, when I've watched or when I came on and
started watching, it was you Angela, Stephanie, and then Loriel.
But you were there before Stephanie and well, me and
Stephanie came in together, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:01:18):
But the reason why I can say that I'm the
only consistent is because Stephanie left for a year, and
that's how Loriel came about. Looriel and Angela were very
close friends at the time, and so Loriel would In
twenty fifteen, about a year after we started, I had
moved from the house in New York with my ex
and I moved to Philly for a while. We broke
up and I moved to Philly and I was managing
the strip club there, so that this time, lip service

(01:01:41):
was fairly new, and we would literally get the call
like can you come today? Can you come tomorrow? So
it was a lot of times when I couldn't make it.
I have a full time job, yeah, you know, it
was too last minute, and even though it's only an
hour and a half drive from New York, I had
obligations to uphold with my job, so I couldn't always
make lip service. So Lorio was sitting when I wasn't there.
Lorio was sitting when Angela when stephan He wasn't there.
And then Stephanie decided that she wanted to move to

(01:02:03):
Los Angeles and she stayed there for a full year,
so during the time that Stephanie was living in La
Loiel said, in full time for that year. And when
Stephanie came back, there's now four of.

Speaker 6 (01:02:15):
Us, okay, yeah, because it was just three.

Speaker 5 (01:02:17):
Yeah, and originally came forward then it became.

Speaker 8 (01:02:19):
But now it's just dy'all replace her with the other lady.
Now Lareel's not there anymore at all.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
Right, it is Laurels down here in Atlanta.

Speaker 6 (01:02:28):
Yes, what's that? Was it a bad brand?

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:02:33):
It was Angela and Laurio no longer friends and yeah,
and they were like best friends because you know, it's
it's it's an inside thing and you know, I don't
want to get into the details of it. But they
are no longer friends. We're still friends, but you're Larel,
but they're no longer friends. And when people asked, because
of course people ask like, why is it she on

(01:02:55):
the shoulder more, I honestly just say that because she
has a full time radio job and because she has
so many differ podcast she had to just you know,
kind of sacrifice slip services. But the really truth is
that they're not friends.

Speaker 4 (01:03:07):
I would never guess it, never heard of it came.

Speaker 5 (01:03:09):
So covid, so covid. We were on Zoom, yeah, and.

Speaker 6 (01:03:15):
I was like, don't get energy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
Now, what I liked about Zoom is that I didn't
have to fly to New York.

Speaker 6 (01:03:24):
All I had to bed exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:03:26):
All I do is get out my bed and throw
a hat on and then you know, we was rocking
and Roland. But so whatever happened between them happened during
the time that we were shifting back from Zoom to
in person and where we all just never made it back.

Speaker 8 (01:03:39):
But that's cool that it didn't affect your relationship or that,
because Angela doesn't seemed the type of person that's like,
well you got to choose because like she's even friends
with you, and her friend is the ex fiance, so
she you know, she was cool.

Speaker 5 (01:03:52):
Yeah. So and then as far as Laura, it's more
new right, it's the new co host, so she's more
like a permanent guest host. Okay, likes, but she's.

Speaker 8 (01:04:06):
She's not a full yeah yeah, but she'll sit in
sometimes most of the time. Okay, most of the time,
because I've been seeing a lot of her yeah on there.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
The more we love laur Yeah, why is she not permanent.

Speaker 5 (01:04:19):
That's an angela question.

Speaker 4 (01:04:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (01:04:22):
So when I get the call, let's move to beyond
the poll real quick? Yas your reality show, that show
get canceled.

Speaker 5 (01:04:29):
Yes, well it didn't get canceled, but we TV didn't
pick us up for another season. So if the if
the creators of the show decide to find another outlet,
then that was a deep show.

Speaker 6 (01:04:41):
Now, it was some I honestly believe.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
That the timing was just all. You know, we did
a COVID special that was kind of like the kickoff,
and then when we did start filming the actual season,
COVID was still kind of happening, so we had to
test every other day and all the sets had to
be closed, and it just really didn't create what we
could have created if everything was just like opening, like

(01:05:06):
if we were to do it now, it was synergy
like you just yeah, yeah, it was too much happening. Uh.
The as far as all of the storylines, everything was
definitely real. Yeah, yeah, it seemed that everything was real.
I don't like time, that's not a it'stuf fake. Like

(01:05:27):
me and Virgo are like bestie, She's one of my
friends who was that she's on Pea Valley. I love Lyric,
I love Milk.

Speaker 6 (01:05:35):
Marie.

Speaker 5 (01:05:35):
Me and Angel used to work at Maddi City together
as well. I love her. I had just met Treasure,
but I like her as well. So yeah, oh and
how could I forget empress? Oh my god? Yeah, put
all the little baby daddies in the damn cigarettes. We
thought that that was gonna be like the even production
kind of like put her in the forefront because they
thought that her story with daddy's and her being Caucasian

(01:05:58):
around all these black people, what these black kids and
smoking cigarettes which she was pregnant, like, they really thought
that they was going to be the thing to like
blow the show up and nobody care.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
Are you interested in doing reality again? Like is that
something you want to get into?

Speaker 6 (01:06:11):
So there is a show.

Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
That is brewing right now that's very similar to Beyond
the Pole, same concept I would say, and no shade
to be on the poll because I love you all
to death. But I would say, from what they're giving me, it's.

Speaker 6 (01:06:26):
Like more creative freedom.

Speaker 5 (01:06:29):
So like the show in itself is kind of more
like Real Housewives, less love and hip hop.

Speaker 4 (01:06:34):
Showing your growth. It's not just trying to be focused
on something that's.

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Dark and drama and drama. So it's still in the
production stages. I have confirmed that I will be a
cast member. I'm just waiting on the call. I wait
on the contract. Man, you got little service. You got
this contract is gonna waiting on it. So when the
contract comes through, you know, I'm ready to sign. I

(01:06:59):
enjoyed doing Reality of the TV because I've been on
a few shows as a friend. I'm really really close
friends with a Lolla Anthony, so she had me on
her show twice. And did I have a do Love
and hip Hop?

Speaker 6 (01:07:09):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:07:10):
No, I could have done love and hip hop, but
I didn't.

Speaker 8 (01:07:14):
But not only Reality. You were on Pea Valley at
the myself. Yeah, at Jocelyn had a party on there.

Speaker 6 (01:07:21):
The Legends Ball, the Legends Ball.

Speaker 3 (01:07:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:23):
So the crazy thing about that, Yeah, the crazy thing
about the Legends Ball is that all of us really
did used to work together, Myself, Jocelyn, Tip Drill, and
Jessica d We all used to dance together.

Speaker 8 (01:07:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:07:35):
I used to dance a lot. I dance for amber
Rose really Ice danced with Jerreia she don't like me
thy dance for Jeria. I used to Dan to a
lot of people.

Speaker 6 (01:07:41):
Were they the same people did back then?

Speaker 5 (01:07:43):
No, none almost knew that we would be who we
are today.

Speaker 8 (01:07:46):
And I'm talking about like, as far as their attitudes
go and things of that nature. Was Jocelyn always like
on tip?

Speaker 5 (01:07:51):
Yes? Okay, yes, Jocelyn was always Jocelyn.

Speaker 4 (01:07:54):
Now, Wandrea don't like you? I don't know. That's her
a lot hammers.

Speaker 5 (01:07:58):
I don't know. I think I bullied her in the
Strip Club back in the day. But as far as
people I use concerned, I don't know if y'all know this,
but my Magic City career life has been loosely used,
and I used the word loosely, very loosely used as
the muse for the storyline for Mercedes.

Speaker 8 (01:08:16):
That last season, BOYD, when Mercedes in that couple, So
that that's a part of your story.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
Too, well, no, okay. But but as far as her
being an it girl in the club, as far as
her being the leader of the trilogy, she did you
have a coach?

Speaker 6 (01:08:29):
Did you have a coach?

Speaker 5 (01:08:32):
He wasn't a coach, but yeah, I had, Yeah, I
had a little thing happening. As far as that, there's
a lot of similarities I have a daughter. She has
a daughter. But I took my last dance money and
I opened a full dance studio.

Speaker 6 (01:08:45):
But your mama didn't take that and I didn't. Okay,
would you would have fought to your mama like she
did it when she?

Speaker 5 (01:08:50):
I mean I for my mom when I was seventeen,
But fast forward to these to this time. If my
mom would have did that to me, I Bobby wouldn't
up in jail too, How dare you?

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:09:02):
That was crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:09:03):
We weren't cry for our money. Yeah, you just blatantly
take it, right, So what's next?

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
For?

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
So?

Speaker 5 (01:09:09):
I went to open a restaurant in Atlanta? Yeah, what's
the live? So you know, like good feeling. I don't
want to say soul food, right, but just that good food.
We got good food to you, good feeling food, food
that just make you just whatever you selling.

Speaker 6 (01:09:29):
They probably need to eat it because.

Speaker 5 (01:09:31):
I'm telling you, thank you so again. Going back to
my mother, she passed away it'll be six years in
August of pancreatic cancer.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:09:40):
And my mother was like big mama. My mother was
there was always a warm place to sleep in, a
warm meal to eat, and her door was always open
to friends. I'm getting goosebum to friends, to family, to neighbors.
You know my mom's place. My mom's house was that
place that you know always could come to, and she
was She took care of everybody. She's a caregiver. And

(01:10:02):
I really feel like, out of all of my sisters,
that I have that part of her in me that
I take care of everybody. I'm always I will give
you the shirt off my back and go home with
my bra And I've done this, like you know, I
will give you my last if I feel like you
needed more than me, excuse me. And when it comes
to the cooking, my mom and you know, everybody say
there Mamuna cook right, But my mom really got some

(01:10:25):
serious recipes, like down to the smallest thing like double eggs.
My double eggs are world wide renowned. People bust my
door down. I got pictures of me holding the trail
of double eggs at a party and two seconds later
it's empty. They were in line lined up for them
fucking double eggs. And it's because she always has the
secret ingredient that she puts in everything. And I might
tell ya later, but I ain't gonna tell you all

(01:10:46):
my mic But so and beyond her little like she
always had her little thing that she did that makes
something stand out or make it extra special. And beyond that,
beyond those little gems that I took from her, the
number one special ingredient is always food is not only nourishment,
but it's a energy exchange. So when you cook with

(01:11:07):
love and you put those feelings inside your food, and
you serve people and you feed them and you feel
that love and return, that's priceless. So I want to
create that type of environment for with this restaurant, and
I wanted to be it'll be named after her, Bienta.
I was gonna ask that be into You never heard
that before, right exactly, So when you hear that, you're
gonna know what it is. So, I mean, she has

(01:11:29):
so many like she would take We would call it
be juice. So she would take too, you know how
the frozen mini made juice come in a can and
then you add water. So she would take two different
flavors of those and mix them together with some fresh
cut lemons and some sugar, and it was the best
fucking juice you ever had in your life. Again, we
weren't raised on kool aid. We weren't raised on soda.

(01:11:49):
We weren't raised on Hawaiian punch. Like she would take
celestial tea, herbal tea bags, the different flavor red Zinger, lemons, Zinger,
all those different flavors, and she would brew them and
put fresh cut limons in it and make a picture
of like iced tea out of that, and like, that's
what I grew up on. So it'd be things like that,
her devil eggs, her potato. Oh my gosh, you got
this slice potato recipe. We stay fishing potatoes every Friday

(01:12:11):
night my entire life. So it's like things like that
that would be on the menu that really just remind
me of my mom and of home and a family.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
What advice would you give to young women who may
be starting out like you and see you as like
their life goal.

Speaker 5 (01:12:24):
I would like to tell people to save their money,
because that's the mistake that I made off rip that
I wish I would not have. And not just if
you're a dancer, if you are anything, the red bottoms,
the Gucci bags, diamonds, all of that will come in time.
Save your money, and if you are going to spend
your money, spend your money on experiences. I learned that
traveling is therapeutic. That's like my favorite thing to do.

(01:12:47):
I love to travel. I love to experience different places,
different cultures. I want to go to an island and
go off the resort and see how the people really
live in and experience the home, relate to the restaurants
that are like culture. Yeah, like that whole thing. So
I would say that you want to like literalay experience,
save your money and be honest with yourself. Be true
to yourself, be true to who you are. I don't

(01:13:09):
know about in other places that I don't know where
everybody is from, but in Philly, where I'm from, the
one main problem I have with the people in Philadelphia
is that they don't want to accept They don't want
to express their liking for something until everybody else likes
it first. Like they're very like scared to express their
feelings for things until they know what's the cool thing
to do.

Speaker 8 (01:13:29):
Armani White just said that same thing. Really, yes, and
he's from Philly. You're saying that people do not like
it until.

Speaker 5 (01:13:36):
Everybody else like it, And I don't like that about Philly.
I'm gonna tll y'all when I went back in twenty fifteen.
I had been going for ten years, and I went
back in twenty fifteen, and I was literally depressed living there.
I was supposed to stay for a year, only last
than eight months because I was so sad at how
my people I have been going for ten years. I
was on my third passport. My homegirls were still fucking
the same niggas, still going to the same bar, still

(01:13:57):
driving the same car, still had the same job, living
the same houses. I'm like, Damn, I ain't did nothing
in ten years.

Speaker 4 (01:14:01):
They're just like stuck in the tutine.

Speaker 5 (01:14:03):
They're just very comfortable, like with just being content, just
comfortable with being okay. I'm never comfortable with being okay.
There's always bigger and better for me. There's always a
brighter start that I'm reaching for, and I just don't
like that my people back home don't have that mindset.
I really wish that more people had the mindset of
reaching for Morris than not settling for where where they're

(01:14:23):
comfortable at.

Speaker 6 (01:14:25):
Well, speaking of Philly, it was just your birthday, Happy
but lady, thank yeah. Back to Philly. Yeah, pic nic,
you got a celebration going on.

Speaker 5 (01:14:32):
I am yes, I am.

Speaker 6 (01:14:33):
I'm having a party.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
I haven't celebrated my birthday in Philly in eight years
since I had that job at the Strip club. So
since the girls from Lip Service are gonna be blessing
the podcast day picnic and I usually do a group
trip where I have all my friends fly out to
an island or whatever for the weekend. And this year,
I'm like, everybody's book at trip to Philly. Just book
the big of the Philly and we're gonna take it

(01:14:55):
home and we're gonna party at home.

Speaker 4 (01:14:56):
