Speaker 3 (00:50):
Do you know when you work so much you just
go on like autopilot? I think we like that's what
we've been working for like three months straight.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
New single out is fire. Thank you for that nice,
nice little routine. Did you choreograph that?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I did really?
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Yeah, getting getting it.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
In the video, getting it on the mountains.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
I didn't shout out to Cot like.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
She was about to be watching this and be like,

Speaker 6 (01:26):
A nail girl? Thank you?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Do you have like a nail person that comes that

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Or I've been using the same person for five six years?
Her names Tamika.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, everybody getting shout outs on the show. Now do
they come to you? I'm okay, boss, Can we take it?
Can we take it back? Let's do it now? Originally,
where is Sweety from the Bay? The Bay? One time
for the Bay? And how was it for Sweety growing up? Like?
Who were you as a kid?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I feel like my whole life, I've always like a
common theme is like duality. I grew up biracial, I
went to two different colleges, I grew up in two
different households, So.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
I've always just had to find like a balance.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But growing up in the Bay Area, like being like
black and Asian or just mixed it it's really common.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
But I think that.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I was I was the first grandchild to be mixed,
and I was the first on both sides.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
On both sides. Now, who's black dad or my dad? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And I think that there needs to be more conversation
between like the clash of cultures, because what's always appropriate
that this household may not fly in this household.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
So as a child, I struggled with that.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
But then I did learn that you have to respect,
you know, both groups based on their morals and their values. However,
sometimes you have to kind of like code twitch sometimes.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
When you say it was like a little challenging, was
it more so on your mom's side that was challenging
or your father.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I would just say both sides. I feel like both
households had different rules. But I'm also talking about like
my grandparents' house because my grandparents were always babysitting me,
and my parents was like out working a lot. But yeah,
like so my Filipino side hardcore traditional. They were immigrants,
so it's like that the values are very traditional, really strict.
(03:23):
And then my dad's side is really different, so more
relax more relaxed. But also my grandparents were pastors, so
then so.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Then they're strict in their own way.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But then at my dad's house, my dad in the streets,
so it's like there's no there's no rules at his household.
And then my mom she's just a tiger mom because
she's Asian and so I was like trying to balance
like four different households and a lot what I could
do and what I can't do in these environments.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
What's a tiger mom?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
A tiger mom is often described as a mom who's
like who wants the best for their child, so she
pushes them, like your pressure to get straight a's or
b is not is not acceptable, Just always pushing their
child to like do their best, especially like in academics.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Did you get straight a's.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I'm my dad. Did you have any siblings?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So my dad had.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Three kids eleven years later with another woman. Okay, but
just for your parents, you're the only child. I'm the
only child. Was on them?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh wow?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Did you have like cousins to play with? Was it lone? Agog?
I had a cousin.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I love them so Like at my grandma's house, my
dad's mom's house, especially in the summertime, it'd be like
fifteen of us in there, you know, you know, calling
for showers, calling for the couch, trying to like hide
the cover so we had a cover at night, you know.
Was like growing up in a household full of kids,
It's like it's like survival. Little fittest Okay, what's.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The different sides of town too? Like did you go
on one side of town here and then the other
side of town?
Speaker 6 (04:53):
You know what's so interesting?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So both of my grandmothers like lived in Union City,
but on different sides of the bridge. Union City is
a city in the so they were like about what
ten minutes away from each other.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
So it's like a car right around the bed.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
But it wasn't like over here I'm good and over
here like I'm not good.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I just feel like I got my dad's At my
dad's mom's house, there was never no food because of
all the kids. But they're not my Filipino side. They
always they always got food over there. So when I
would get hungry, I would go to my grandpa's.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Did they always have like rice ready?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Because I have a type.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
I had a best friend who was tied in black
and her her grandmother always had like a pot of
rice at least the rice is always ready to go.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Now, look, don't get mad at me, friend, but I'm
might to ask you a question that whose food was better?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Oh no, I can't decide to be honest.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Because both people throwing down on these sides. As you're
talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Both of my grandma's can throw down, like throw down
down to choose though, Well, my favorite food is Filipino food,
but I can't say that that that's someone's cooking it's
better than the others. No, no, no, no, now they both
they're both equally good. I'm just clarified.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
With you having so like you said, the two sides
you were going from back and forth, is that we're
brought in your palate because you have a wide palate.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Now, so let me call you something.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well, she has a white palette, a palette, so I
feel like my palate comes from I was like the
taste tester. Oh, but when my grandparents were cooking, so
you know, Filipino food is it's foreign food. And then
my grandma and on the other side, they get down
in the kitchen too, and they make their own concoctions.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Actually, it's it's really funny.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
My pap Paul will like save food from like a
couple of months ago, reheat it up. That no, that's crazy,
but freeze it, reheat it up, and then throw some
extra stuff in it to make it like good. And
then he'd be like, oh, baby, you want some of this,
And my Grandma'll be like, baby, don't you eat that's
like from six months ago. That's how that's how he
(07:10):
would He still does it, but that's how he would save.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
The left's perfectly fine, isn't he Yes.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
He is.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
And then he would reheat it, make a couple of concoctions.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So like I tasted it, I don't even eat food
from two days later.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
When you put it in the freezer for a long time,
you put like you make a pop pot of greens.
You can freeze those and then reheat them later.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
My mom made me my Mom's from Barbados Thanksgiving. She
made some rice and beans and she put it in
the in the freezer and it stayed and she heated
that ship up.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
My bad, damn Mama, make sure you let me know
which one has been in the freezer anyway, it's easy.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Your name so weedy. It's not sweetie, No, it's so
wety or yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
So it was like a family nickname.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And then it stuck because I have put it on
my MySpace, and my MySpace was like really popping, like helipopping,
like I had all the cold, all the.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Layout, my homegirls.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
But it had become so big that like people would
like see me walk in from like the bus stop,
they see me at like a gas station, they see
me like walking to school, and they'd be they pull
over and be.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Like, are you Sweety?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
So it's just like my page was so big that
people thought that that was my name.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So why why that though not sweety?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Because when I was typing it in on MySpace, I
was like, sweety, look too sweet. You gotta put a
little flavor in it, Okay, So I put the A
between the W, the S and the W period.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
And then to solidify.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
It, my my other mom, the woman that my dad
is currently with, she got me my first nameplate that
says sweety for my first day of my sophomore year
in school. So it just like solidified everything. Yes, you know,
like it just really like.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Just made everything permanent after that.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
So you were in college, she was about to get that.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Good shit.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Yeah, so you were in college. What were you studying?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
So I went in to do psychology?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, that goes with me, why no?
Speaker 6 (09:11):
But listen, on the first day of school we got that.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Syllabus, was like, you know what I've got to go.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I literally got up like ten minutes of class.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
And I said, I'm going to like the administration office.
I said, oh, hell no.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So then I was talking to my administrative counselor and
she basically just told me to take a whole bunch
of electives. And within those electives, one of the classes
that I really enjoyed was my communication course. So that's
what made me want to study communication because of the
elective that I chose.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
And what college was this?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So this was at San Diego State and then I
transferred to the University of Southern California.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
There's no way that you wasn't going to school with
your family. Like you said, your was a Tiger mom
and she believes in that schooling, so so you.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Had to go to college.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I think it was a combination between her pressuring me
and then me just wanted to get out of Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Now, how was your college experience?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
San Diego State was really fun And I didn't really
understand the consequence of being a transfer until I was
a transfer.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Could you lose credits or not only that.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
But you just lose like the incoming freshman connection that
you created with the peers that you come in with.
And at USC it took me like a minute to
like create you know, friendships on campus. But at San
Diego State, like I was dancing for the school, I
was like the face of the students store. So I
was really like integrated into the school's culture, and I
really missed that when I transferred over to you.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Why did you transfer?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Why did you want to to be in an a
market city?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You wanted to be in La.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I wanted to be in La. I thought that you
and I was going to get discovered right away, you.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Know, because you're doing music also, correct.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Well, I'm posting my wraps on my Instagram.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
How many followers did you have at the time.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
I've always had a lot of followers.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I've always been heavy into like social media and the aesthetics,
so I've always just had like a before the music,
it was like a brand following, like girls just fucked
with like the vibe.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
But then you know, when you drop can't style, won't stide?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah go?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
You know that's that famous. That's a classic freestyle. You
know instantly, did your world change?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
No, it did, but it changed after the music video.
I was so taken aback with how much coverage I
got because I dropped this without a publicist, without backing,
without a label, without management.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
It was just fresh out the gate.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
So I think that at the beginning of my career
I was kind of just thrown into the industry quickly.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I'm very pressed, you know, with what you've done and
what you were able to do and create yourself. Even today.
I know we're going to get to more of your accolades,
but I just want to say, I'm very proud of
what you are doing. You know what I'm saying, especially
as a young black girl out here, You're very intelligent,
very smart, and I think that needs to be you know,
said and shined on because a lot of people look
at you know, certain people nowadays and they don't really
(12:11):
are they like you said, they see the aesthetic, but
you know, you really are putting in the work mentally
to get to where you're going.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah. I had an argument about you the other day
and I was saying, Sweetep really put up some points
on the scoreboard, like you had some number ones and
they were really really big. We're gonna get into that. Yeah,
So you put out the song, you put out the video.
What happens next?
Speaker 6 (12:36):
I had several meetings at different labels.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Did they just have they get flew out friends?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Surprisingly, all my meetings were in La.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Okay, So yeah, you did make the right decision. I
guess moving you had to go far.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, but this was like two years after I graduated
from college. Yeah, I struggled for like two years in LA.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
But how was the struggle? We talked about the struggle too,
because a lot of it was always real. Man.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I worked like a lot of odd jobs.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Where does Sweetie work that people would be like what?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
I was a receptionist.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I was a waitress at a strip club. I was
an ambassador for like Craigslist events like hey, come be,
come help us with this pop up shop, and you know,
like the people who help solicit at public in public areas.
But interestingly that helped me with like my people skills,
because when you're constantly being thrown into like different environments
(13:32):
with new people, you have to like accommodate really fast.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
You have to adapt. So it helped me.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
But I remember like every time I would like pay
my rent, my account would go back down to like
twenty or like forty dollars, and I was.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Like, bitch, it's real, it's real.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Not because like my aesthetic it was always just like
I've always wanted to be a rich bitch, Like ever
since I was a kid, that's what I aspired to be.
I like the diamonds the first I love the boss
bitches out there out to them, and I was like,
this is not what we planned. Friend, But I looked
myself in the mirror. That's why I see girl, I say,
look it in the mirror. I think, I feel I'm
(14:10):
about to be Like I was broke as fuck when
I wrote that, and I was like, we have to give.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Yourself a deadline.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
And I always tell people who I give advice to
give yourself a deadline because if you do that, you're
able to keep track of like what you're doing. So
I gave myself a year to make it in LA
and if I didn't make it, I was going to
go home and at least be comfortable and stack my
money up and move back to LA.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
All my ninth month, I got discovered.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
That that does work, though, when you give yourself a deadline,
I know, I know you.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Know that personally, and I'm glad you're sharing these things
with people because I feel like how it looked on
the outside, it looked like it just happened really fast.
But the things that you're saying would make someone say, wow,
I didn't know she had to do that. I didn't
know she had to work these jobs. I didn't know
how to do. That kind of makes it a little
bit more human.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So when did you have to get When did the
check come? Where you can say, well, you can tike
tail a little bit, When did that big check come?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Is that when you signed? Did you get in advance
or you.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Always was on Warner correct, you decided to.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Go, it was on Warner.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But before that I was doing I was an influencer
for like weave companies and clothing companies. So because Icy
Girl was like new and hot, it had put the
attention like that helped me get my first like low key,
low hanging fruit like Brandill's. Like that was the first
time I had a couple thousand in my bank account.
I just had to like post my picture they would
and they would pay me.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Okay, So that twenty dollars turned into a couple of
thousand dollars getting some shows or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Because the song was doing.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Really the show was an Istanbul Turkey.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Wow, how how they pay you? You?
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Turkey?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Stanbul, yurkey, Yes, all the way over there, all the
way over.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
There, and yes, and I sat in the middle seat.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The whole thought is like, I'm not doing this. Listen,
I gotta know how much they paid you. Okay, I
would have said.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah, I said how much are we going?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
One thing about now, listen, One thing about a cancer
is we get real uncomfortable when we ain't got no money. Right,
So it's like when it's time to get but when
it's time to get that check, we finna get it.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
It's just like I was in the middle seat.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
On the side of the plane. I'm gonna be on
a plane like this. It was at the time that
you maybe got a little bit of an excel. You
got that in l As. Did that motivate you to
keep going?
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
But then after that I had got my contract okay,
but my contract wasn't like one of those flashy contracts.
It was it was enough for me, but it wasn't
like you know how some.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
People like break the bank and get me.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
What made you go with Warner out of all the labels, To.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Be honest, I don't remember why. I can just remember
how I felt in those meetings. So I kind of
like this followed like my feelings energy. Okay, did you
have a manager at the time and an unofficial manager?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I did you like just sat right here and just
act like you know what you're doing? No, it was.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Somebody who was trying to like help me, like navigate, gotcha.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Yeah, We're going to navigate to a break real quick.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Man.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
We got Sweetie right here on the Butler Alert Show,
right here on revote.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We'll be right back with more of the Bawler Alert Show.
You're listening to a special edition of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
A Sweety with a Baller Alert Show? Right here on
re vote beg but more the bro Alert Show. We
got Sweety in the building.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Ye're having a great cab. I love this.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I love the humble beginnings to now just to know
who you are. I want to talk about the mental space,
you know, and the mental health of Sweetie back in
those times to now, how were you were you calling
your mom like you know sometimes like hey, help me
get through this day? Like how did you stay mentally sound,
you know, through the broke times to on your rich
(17:56):
girl journey.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I would say a prayer like I said.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
My grandparents were pastors, so I was in the church
like Sunday through Sunday, so that's always like my first
go to I would call my grandmother a lot.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
She should pray on the phone with Yeah, she.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Would pray for me.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And then books like one of my favorite favorite books
is The Alchemist?
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Really do you read it every year? I read it interestingly.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I read it in every stage in my life, and
every time I read it, I pick up something different
me too.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, I was gonna say, so, now, your personal life,
I know you know, sweetie is never alone? Do you
are you? Were you ever in a relationship at these times?
And did it go away? Because hey man, I got
to focus on this right now.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
And no, I was so disgusted with myself. I didn't
want to date.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Okay, so you weren't dating anything.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I was one of those like I'm one of those people.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
If I'm down bad, especially like financially, and I'm not
where I'm at where I want to be in my career,
I don't want to talk to nobody.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Where does that come from?
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Did that?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Did Pops or anybody say, hey man?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I think that's just how I innately felt at the time,
I didn't want to date, like what do I have
to offer?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Like I wanted to get myself together.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
That's interesting and that's big on you saying that, because
you know, some people would just date and just be
toxic or you a la.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Some people would just try to find somebody out there
that could, you know, help them.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
No, I think that's a cancer trait too, because come on,
you just like you know, like I said, when you
when you don't have any money, or if you don't
feel like you know you who are who you want
to be, you just kind of retreat to your shell
a little bit and then you like, I'm going to
come out when I feel confident.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So that leads me to my next question. So when
do you start feeling comfortable enough within yourself to be
open to that, not saying that you're going to do it,
but to be open to that. When when did that
part happen in your life?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
I felt like I was.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I was able to become comfortable with myself after after
I got my deal and after I was able to
like pay off my student loans.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
I was able to.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So you paid yours off. I just let my slide,
so you didn't wait on Biden Man.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I was honestly, I was scared because I think how
my loans were set up, Like after a certain amount
of years, I would start to get what do you.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
The money taking your account?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
No interest?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Yeah, create interest. After a certain amount of years, my
loan would have created interest. So I wanted to pay
minds off before it before I did that.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
You in the USC, So I'm pretty sure that tuition
was so you know, it's.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Hella crazy and I think that this was so fed
up cuss.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So when I had transferred to USC because of my grades,
I was covered fully because I forgot what I had
applied for, but my tuition was covered. However, each year
after that, tuition would raise, but my like expenses were
capped at this amount. So it's just like although my
(20:53):
tuition was covered the first year, I spent three more
years in college after that.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Like, yeah, I had to.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I had to take out more money to cover like
the remainder of the balance the loans.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Yeah, I'm surprised you never got a scholarship or anything,
because then you run track.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I played volleyball, volleyball, yeah, but I have got a
full ride scholarship to like the D two schools in
the Midwest. You didn't want to go there, and I
wanted to be in the city. But in hindsight, I
do wish I would have at least tried it because
I missed sports so much. Oh yeah, yeah, sports really
like instilled like my like how I work, okay, and
(21:31):
how I work with people.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
You ever want to consider doing, you know, starting a
league or anything like that, And later on.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I would consider like sponsoring volleyball girls. Yeah, maybe not
creating a league, but just like endorsing them. Because my
senior year of college, we couldn't afford the sports package
for our senior year. And you know, my coach loved
me dearly, but he was like, if you can't pay this,
you can't play. So I stood in front of a
bank for eight hours and raised the money and then
(21:58):
paid off and paid off my my senior year fee.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Whatever that was.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
How did you what was you doing in front of
the bank.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
I had on my volleyball T shirt.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I was in front the Chase Bank and it was
hella hot outside, but I came out there at eight
am and I basically just asked for money from quarters
to fifty dollars bills.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Wow, Like people do.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's what I don't believe them now.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I think I think back in the day that worked,
But I think now I think they're scamming out.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Could you do be looking like they about six five
and forty years old?
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Don't have on no uniform either.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Boys, bro.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I seen somebody come up to me the other day
talking about, Yeah, you want to support my football boy?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
You forty two? You was not in you was not
doing no football league. No.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
But one thing that I learned that day was I
still in front of a bank and then I went
over to the grocery store to see if it would like,
if it would change people like who are grocery shopping
are less likely to donate than people going to the bank,
because what are you what are you doing at a bank?
You're going to get moneyey, So it was like a
quick lesson learned. But I was like, I never doing
this again. But if you are out like trying to
(23:11):
sell something, I recommend standing in front of a bank
than any other like.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Pay yourself or did you have your parents with you?
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I was by myself. I was like, I'm gonna go
get this money.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
He was stugging it.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Man.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
I love it. I respect it.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I respect your hustle. I'm about to say I respect
the hustle too. So graduating college, I know that was
a big deal for you. Was it the big deal?
Did everybody come down for it? Did you walk across
the stage? Okay?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Did you also feel that pressure to as a kid
like I need to do this for my parents to finish?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Be pressurized to finish?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I think, not necessarily to finish, but to get good grades,
because I'm just like, if I'm.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Not getting grades in college, what was your GPA?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Three point six?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Wow, that's great in college time. She's just like you
was taking out.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Loans and I was taking out loans.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Come on, man, y'all got to.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Now, because for me, the scholarships would be like fifteen hundred,
fifteen hundred. I don't want to be riding a whole
bunch of essays for fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
There's a lot of essays you got to write.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I do think to the volleyball lane would be a
popping lane for you, because I don't really see any
celebrities talking about volleyball bringing it like almost like the
w NBA, like everyone's talking about it now. If I
see volleyball on TV, I'll stop and watch it because
I actually think it's actually very complex sport and it's
a very team related sport. You have to need you
(24:35):
need each other out there wanting to get that ball
over to us. You got to communicate coach the coordination
and hitting the ball and making sure you know he
talking about it's a setup. You get the person. You
got to have someone that's like a set up person.
My daughter played Oh okay, But I say I will
watch it though, But like watching it on TV, it's
the ultimate team sport if you're watching volleyball.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
But speaking about that team sport and that being your background,
did you go into to that business wise when you
were at Warner and how everybody plays a team in
communication with you know, did you have a plan on
how you wanted things done and then they backed you
or how did that work.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I'm a very visual person, so when it comes to
like presenting, I like to have my mood boards.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
I like to write everything out and then I present it.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
But when it comes to just having a background in sports,
I prefer to work with people who played sports because
they tend to have a higher like emotional intelligence.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
They have.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
They just have better a better.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Skill set when it comes to communication, and they're less
ego driven. They understand that like word team and we're
all working for like the greater good and the bigger picture.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Did you was anybody on the label from sports or
did you pick Hey? I want to work with this,
A and R. I want to do X, Y and Z.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Not necessarily with the label, but with like my internal team, okay,
like management or like the creatives that I hire around me.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I'm always curious to see if you play the.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Sport hard it is to get the labels behind you,
because I seen when you release your new song, you
told the label.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Kicking that butch. I actually even backed that up, and
later on in the comments I said they should definitely
open the butt. Roary was definitely talking about I don't notice,
but I worked at Warner for eight months last year.
Wait did that meet you one time? Yeah? Okay, so
eight months I was there last year, and of course
you were one of the main party, the priority so birthday,
(26:30):
all those records, like, yeah, so I had a dope
moment just seeing your music and hearing your music and
stuff like that. So I just say that to say
this ninety record, and I know we will probably take
a break and come back with it. This is a
very good record for you. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Yeah, let's do that right now. Take a break. We'll
be right back with more sweety on the Butler Alert Show.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
We'll be right back, Stay tuned with more of the
Baller Alert Show. You're listening to a special edition of
the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Hey, what's up a sweety with a Baller Alert Show
right here?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I'm a vote back with more of the Brother Law Show.
We got so weedy.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
You're talking about that new record and a label, you know,
opening up that budget. So when you put the record
out right, is the record?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Who is nanny? What is nanny?
Speaker 6 (27:18):
Is a feeling?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Okay? Someone makes you feel like.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Nanny is just like a it's like a main character energy.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Like oh oh but look y'all to sidetracked me.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
So when you at least the record with you know what,
you're expecting this positive response like no, hmmm.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
I feel like every time I've released a record, like
even with like my big records, like tapping my type
best Friend, I've always just had such a it's like
almost how do I say this? It's like cool, to
like true me. So for every release date, like someone
will come up with with like a false narrative or
(28:06):
a way to like troll me on my release date.
So I used to like get really nervous for like
my release dates, but eventually, like you become like desensitized
to internet culture. However, for this release, I was really
shocked by all the positivity and I was really grateful
for it because I've never experienced that much love on
like a release date.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, everybody was like this is the one I do.
Want to rewind just quickly and to stay on topic
because My Type was a very big record for you,
best friend. I you actually used that instrument on my radio.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Showmmy nominated thank you and when both.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Of those went number one, correct me if I'm wrong. My
type is like you're really aggressive in there, like you like,
what was the motivation for my type? Cuts to somebody
out like you want to know?
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Yeah, guy, my type was it this record?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yes, I felt that who I'm not going to.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
It was a dis record to a guy like I
had to.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I had to change the chorus because I had said
it was. It was arranged a different way. But I
remember I felt like somebody had played me. So I
was like, like I was saying what my type was
because I was like my my energy was like, oh
I'm going to be back on the market, like I'm
looking for my type.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
So, yes, you're right.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I said, no, she cuts to somebody out of this.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
It originally was I got new new new wrist.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You're mad. You're mad when you say that?
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Initially said new whip snoop. But around.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
This was this person that you're talking. Okay, well the
motivation for the song are they like, were they popular
or were they not popular? It was something that they
tried you or.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
It was such a long time.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Because this was the next that was that was after
my type came after so Icy? Correct, Yeah, best friend
came the best friend? Is you put me on the
Doja Cat? I knew nothing about Doja Cat until best Friends? Really, Wow,
I'm just saying fans now, I'm just saying she put
me onto doj I'm just guys.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
I feel you.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
But let's get back to sweetie. How did you feel
to be nominated for a Grammy though? Facts, because now
you on another level.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
It was surreal. Yeah, it was surreal.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
When you first got the dudes or was it feeling.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Like what, I don't know, you don't want to know.
What's interesting. No one celebrated it. Nobody said what you
mean by la you mean, I just no one celebrated it.
I didn't celebrate it. I was working a lot, so
I never really liked tooking that moment. Oh yeah, so
it's like I was celebrating it now, thank you. I
was grateful for it, but I was working so much
(30:58):
and I don't know, like, no one really made it
a big deal.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
So I didn't make it a big deal. That's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, you see an accomplishment.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (31:09):
And do you take time sometimes when you make these
these big strides in your career, do you take time
to celebrate or do you just keep going?
Speaker 6 (31:19):
Now I'm extra as fuck.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I really try to practice gratitude. That's one of the
first things I practiced in the morning, because it's just
like I don't want to go by life so much
to where everything becomes blurred and I don't appreciate the
little things, the medium things, the big things, or just anything.
So I try to like show my gratitude as much.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
As I can.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
No, I like the fact that that you take time
out to appreciate the hard work, because I do feel
like a lot of times, just us as people in general,
like you know, everybody's working so much, and a lot
of times you don't get the chance to, you know,
celebrate the winds. And because a lot of people, you know,
they cry about the losses, but we don't celebrate.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
The winds right right, And even going to that, like
I try to remember the girl who was running rooms
off of Craigslist, like writing down my goals, manifesting, praying,
and I'm just like.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
She would be so happy right now. So you need
to celebrate, do you.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
I was gonna say, do you go back to church
any and you know, right now in your adult life?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
And when I go see my grandparents, yes, And then
for the holidays, when I'm in La, I'll go with
like my cousins and my uncle to like a local church.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
You know, when you get into the spirit, do you
have those reflections of I came a long way.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Robbie shouting, I'll be speaking at times?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, yeah, what should be putting the offering table a lot?
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Tie?
Speaker 6 (32:40):
Do you tie? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, that's good. Yeah, that's why you're so blessed now?
What is co sign from like a big female rapper?
Happened that you was like, oh snap.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
My favorite co sign I've ever gotten with some share.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
We made it the Calvin client campaign, right, the mac
cambinack campaign.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I like shared. When you meet her, you can tell
she has a lot of discernment, Like she's really like
she she a young, She a young girl. She she
ain't aged one bit when we see now that she's
one day. Right, yes, this isn't so Share gave you
a big co sign that was dope. Yeah, And she's
(33:24):
always just every time I hit her, she hits me back.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Wow, she's hella cool.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I had dinner at her house after we had did
that campaign, and she's just like full of stories, full
of love, full of confidence, full of life.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
How do you handle like, like you said, it's easy
to troll, sweetie, how do you handle criticism?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Girl so highly criticized?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
So literally when I was going through like my spiritual awakening,
when like I had shaved all my hair off, I
was just just reading a lot, and I remember there
was a there was a philosophy in this in this
think piece about the matrix that we're in, and basically
like everybody plays a role. So if you look at
like a hater or a criticizer as just like the
(34:08):
bad player and you're the protagonist, it helps you like
view your life a lot differently, because in every movie
there's a bad guy, like we're not.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
None of us is excluded from that.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
So every time somebody comes at me, I'm just like, Okay,
you the You're like the opposition in my story. You're
the NPC, maybe like Trinity. Okay, but I feel like
we're all neo in our own stories. And I feel
like that movie is is just so symbolic for just
us awakening in the world.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
That we're in the Matrix movie.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And when you're able to like distinguish the haters as
like the men in black with the glasses on, it
just helps you.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
It's like a relief, like that's your job to do that.
I understand. I'm gonna let you do your job while
I do mine.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I feel like celebrities, why do y'all let the comments
and the people on the internet make y'all so mad?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Do you read the comments? You can't make me, man,
I'm gonna try you right back.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Okay, you read them?
Speaker 6 (35:14):
Do you read the comments?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
So you know I do read them because I also
respond to positivity. I can't help that there might be
like some hate in between the positivity, but I'm so
desensitized because of the amount of hate I receive. So
I mean, it's just one of those moments where your
trauma makes you stronger.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
But you do know that fans are doing that to
get a response.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Because absolutely, because when I'm mentally sparring with them, when
they tooche and they be like okay, bitch, like you're funny,
or like we get it, they become a fan.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Or they've been looking to get a rid, or they
may have been a fan that's been trying to get
your attention. So I love you, I love your music,
I love what you're doing. And you might never see that.
But as soon as they say, oh I don't like
you no more, you am like, well, I don't like
you neither.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
They're like, yes you responded, no, no, no, it's a
it's a I don't respond to audi hate. It's like
it's really like it's it has to have a little
humor to it. If you just outrightly just disrespectful, I'm
just gonna ignore you.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
And do you block them? Or I don't know, you
just let move. You get a mute, You get a
mute everybody.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
You got way too many followers to even the same thing,
not as muting, because even a block is a response,
and I do want something.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I don't like when the haters be like, oh, someone's
so blocked me. Now you ain't gonna get that for me.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
So when you making music, dude, I know you said
you always every release, you always get a bunch of hate.
Does that kind of mess up like the creativity of
doing the music, because you like, I gotta put some
music that's gonna make these people in the comments or
the internet, you know, actually like it.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
You know, I'm really I'm really a big fan of alchemy,
and I feel like when you're able to like transmute
negativity as a positivity, it could work. Because I remember
I got dragged for taping and they was like, oh, Sweetie,
can't wrap. She sounds like a kindergartener. I went back
and I wrote pretty VIIs freestyle. So I took that
(37:00):
hate and I transmuted it into creativity. And then two
weeks later I dropped this amazing freestyle on my birthday
that's still one of my fan favorites. I think that
as long as we like use the hate for a
better good, we'll be all right.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
You also have people that are fans of you with
your style, your looks.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I think that's a great thing for artists who has
two sets of fans. Are we gonna see like a
career in that field because I kind of see that
you kind of, to me, looks like you're solely music
first and only.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I think that once I solidified, like my music, released
my first album, then I'll go into my other outlets
of creativity.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
But right now, it's just this album.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Okay, what's the title of the album?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
You know, my movement was pretty much music, and that's
what I was calling it, But I don't After the
body of work is done, I'm gonna release it with
it and see if that's what I'm still gonna call.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
It this year. M You know, so you're gonna change
the name possibly? What's some other names you got?
Speaker 6 (38:02):
I don't know. I don't have the names yet.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
I like this. I like this hat. What is this called? Actually?
Speaker 6 (38:09):
Shout out to one of my fans.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
I did an activation hike at Runyon Canyon and they
some of them brought me presents and this was one
of them.
Speaker 6 (38:19):
I already had the boots.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Oh so it goes with the boots.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
Let match the boat.
Speaker 4 (38:23):
I was really impressed by when I saw you had
the deal with McDonald's and I remember I was telling somebody.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
I was like, man, y'all know sway they gotta deal
with McDonald's. Like that's a big deal. How did you
get that?
Speaker 6 (38:37):
From going live and being authentically me and eating crazy?
It was crazy. People was like dragged me for how
I ate, but then how.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
I am So McDonald's they just reached out to you
and that was like, hey, we want to, you know,
do a partnership deal with you or something like that.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
So they were gearing up for a campaign and someone
has sent all the live videos of me really enjoying
like my McDonald's nails.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
That's why they had one with me.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
But you've you've had a lot of big deals, I
mean from McDonald's Hidden Valley Ranch, like Hidden Valley Ranch
had crocs that you were a part of. Uh, you
had pretty little thing like we said, the Matt campaign,
Calvin Clent Champ, Champs Champions. Uh, you know, do they
reach out to you through your management or I'm doing
(39:23):
my agency. Okay, so you're you're signed with an agency, yes, okay,
how did you acquire that?
Speaker 6 (39:28):
Just on the internet or just I'm my manager helped me?
Speaker 5 (39:31):
Is that something that you said to her? Hey, I
want to do that too, or.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
With my I've been with my management team for about
a year and we were really were going through like
every facet of my business, and one of those was
the agency. So I had met up with these people
and we're about three months in, but we've had we
have some exciting things coming up.
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Well.
Speaker 5 (39:54):
Another exciting thing that I was excited to see you
a part of was b MTh out the season three
and you got to acting bagging that.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
What was that experience?
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Like?
Speaker 6 (40:05):
It was nice.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I really enjoy being on other creative sets because it's
not pressure on me to like run and dictate everything,
and I really enjoy seeing someone else's vision come to life.
Speaker 6 (40:16):
Hmmm, you want to do more acting? Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (40:19):
You just you're just gonna keep taking it to the top.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
I love it you're doing.

Her names Tamika.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Okay, everybody getting shout outs on the show. Now do
they come to you? I'm okay, boss, Can we take it?
Can we take it back? Let's do it now? Originally,
where is Sweety from the Bay? The Bay? One time
for the Bay? And how was it for Sweety growing up? Like?
Who were you as a kid?
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I feel like my whole life, I've always like a
common theme is like duality. I grew up biracial, I
went to two different colleges, I grew up in two
different households, So.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
I've always just had to find like a balance.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But growing up in the Bay Area, like being like
black and Asian or just mixed it it's really common.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
But I think that.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
I was I was the first grandchild to be mixed,
and I was the first on both sides.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
On both sides. Now, who's black dad or my dad? Okay?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
And I think that there needs to be more conversation
between like the clash of cultures, because what's always appropriate
that this household may not fly in this household.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
So as a child, I struggled with that.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
But then I did learn that you have to respect,
you know, both groups based on their morals and their values. However,
sometimes you have to kind of like code twitch sometimes.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
When you say it was like a little challenging, was
it more so on your mom's side that was challenging
or your father.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I would just say both sides. I feel like both
households had different rules. But I'm also talking about like
my grandparents' house because my grandparents were always babysitting me,
and my parents was like out working a lot. But yeah,
like so my Filipino side hardcore traditional. They were immigrants,
so it's like that the values are very traditional, really strict.
(03:23):
And then my dad's side is really different, so more
relax more relaxed. But also my grandparents were pastors, so
then so.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Then they're strict in their own way.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But then at my dad's house, my dad in the streets,
so it's like there's no there's no rules at his household.
And then my mom she's just a tiger mom because
she's Asian and so I was like trying to balance
like four different households and a lot what I could
do and what I can't do in these environments.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
What's a tiger mom?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
A tiger mom is often described as a mom who's
like who wants the best for their child, so she
pushes them, like your pressure to get straight a's or
b is not is not acceptable, Just always pushing their
child to like do their best, especially like in academics.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Did you get straight a's.
Speaker 6 (04:13):
I'm my dad. Did you have any siblings?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
So my dad had.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Three kids eleven years later with another woman. Okay, but
just for your parents, you're the only child. I'm the
only child. Was on them?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Oh wow?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Did you have like cousins to play with? Was it lone? Agog?
I had a cousin.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I love them so Like at my grandma's house, my
dad's mom's house, especially in the summertime, it'd be like
fifteen of us in there, you know, you know, calling
for showers, calling for the couch, trying to like hide
the cover so we had a cover at night, you know.
Was like growing up in a household full of kids,
It's like it's like survival. Little fittest Okay, what's.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The different sides of town too? Like did you go
on one side of town here and then the other
side of town?
Speaker 6 (04:53):
You know what's so interesting?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So both of my grandmothers like lived in Union City,
but on different sides of the bridge. Union City is
a city in the so they were like about what
ten minutes away from each other.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
So it's like a car right around the bed.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
But it wasn't like over here I'm good and over
here like I'm not good.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I just feel like I got my dad's At my
dad's mom's house, there was never no food because of
all the kids. But they're not my Filipino side. They
always they always got food over there. So when I
would get hungry, I would go to my grandpa's.
Speaker 6 (05:26):
Did they always have like rice ready?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Because I have a type.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
I had a best friend who was tied in black
and her her grandmother always had like a pot of
rice at least the rice is always ready to go.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Now, look, don't get mad at me, friend, but I'm
might to ask you a question that whose food was better?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Oh no, I can't decide to be honest.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Because both people throwing down on these sides. As you're
talking about.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Both of my grandma's can throw down, like throw down
down to choose though, Well, my favorite food is Filipino food,
but I can't say that that that's someone's cooking it's
better than the others. No, no, no, no, now they both
they're both equally good. I'm just clarified.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
With you having so like you said, the two sides
you were going from back and forth, is that we're
brought in your palate because you have a wide palate.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Now, so let me call you something.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well, she has a white palette, a palette, so I
feel like my palate comes from I was like the
taste tester. Oh, but when my grandparents were cooking, so
you know, Filipino food is it's foreign food. And then
my grandma and on the other side, they get down
in the kitchen too, and they make their own concoctions.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Actually, it's it's really funny.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
My pap Paul will like save food from like a
couple of months ago, reheat it up. That no, that's crazy,
but freeze it, reheat it up, and then throw some
extra stuff in it to make it like good. And
then he'd be like, oh, baby, you want some of this,
And my Grandma'll be like, baby, don't you eat that's
like from six months ago. That's how that's how he
(07:10):
would He still does it, but that's how he would save.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
The left's perfectly fine, isn't he Yes.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
He is.
Speaker 6 (07:15):
And then he would reheat it, make a couple of concoctions.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So like I tasted it, I don't even eat food
from two days later.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
When you put it in the freezer for a long time,
you put like you make a pop pot of greens.
You can freeze those and then reheat them later.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
My mom made me my Mom's from Barbados Thanksgiving. She
made some rice and beans and she put it in
the in the freezer and it stayed and she heated
that ship up.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
My bad, damn Mama, make sure you let me know
which one has been in the freezer anyway, it's easy.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Your name so weedy. It's not sweetie, No, it's so
wety or yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
So it was like a family nickname.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And then it stuck because I have put it on
my MySpace, and my MySpace was like really popping, like helipopping,
like I had all the cold, all the.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
Layout, my homegirls.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
But it had become so big that like people would
like see me walk in from like the bus stop,
they see me at like a gas station, they see
me like walking to school, and they'd be they pull
over and be.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Like, are you Sweety?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
So it's just like my page was so big that
people thought that that was my name.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So why why that though not sweety?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Because when I was typing it in on MySpace, I
was like, sweety, look too sweet. You gotta put a
little flavor in it, Okay, So I put the A
between the W, the S and the W period.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
And then to solidify.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
It, my my other mom, the woman that my dad
is currently with, she got me my first nameplate that
says sweety for my first day of my sophomore year
in school. So it just like solidified everything. Yes, you know,
like it just really like.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Just made everything permanent after that.
Speaker 5 (08:57):
So you were in college, she was about to get that.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Good shit.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Yeah, so you were in college. What were you studying?
Speaker 6 (09:06):
So I went in to do psychology?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Okay, that goes with me, why no?
Speaker 6 (09:11):
But listen, on the first day of school we got that.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Syllabus, was like, you know what I've got to go.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I literally got up like ten minutes of class.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
And I said, I'm going to like the administration office.
I said, oh, hell no.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
So then I was talking to my administrative counselor and
she basically just told me to take a whole bunch
of electives. And within those electives, one of the classes
that I really enjoyed was my communication course. So that's
what made me want to study communication because of the
elective that I chose.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
And what college was this?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
So this was at San Diego State and then I
transferred to the University of Southern California.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
There's no way that you wasn't going to school with
your family. Like you said, your was a Tiger mom
and she believes in that schooling, so so you.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Had to go to college.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
I think it was a combination between her pressuring me
and then me just wanted to get out of Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Now, how was your college experience?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
San Diego State was really fun And I didn't really
understand the consequence of being a transfer until I was
a transfer.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Could you lose credits or not only that.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
But you just lose like the incoming freshman connection that
you created with the peers that you come in with.
And at USC it took me like a minute to
like create you know, friendships on campus. But at San
Diego State, like I was dancing for the school, I
was like the face of the students store. So I
was really like integrated into the school's culture, and I
really missed that when I transferred over to you.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Why did you transfer?
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Why did you want to to be in an a
market city?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You wanted to be in La.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I wanted to be in La. I thought that you
and I was going to get discovered right away, you.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Know, because you're doing music also, correct.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Well, I'm posting my wraps on my Instagram.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
How many followers did you have at the time.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
I've always had a lot of followers.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I've always been heavy into like social media and the aesthetics,
so I've always just had like a before the music,
it was like a brand following, like girls just fucked
with like the vibe.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
But then you know, when you drop can't style, won't stide?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah go?
Speaker 5 (11:19):
You know that's that famous. That's a classic freestyle. You
know instantly, did your world change?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
No, it did, but it changed after the music video.
I was so taken aback with how much coverage I
got because I dropped this without a publicist, without backing,
without a label, without management.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
It was just fresh out the gate.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
So I think that at the beginning of my career
I was kind of just thrown into the industry quickly.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I'm very pressed, you know, with what you've done and
what you were able to do and create yourself. Even today.
I know we're going to get to more of your accolades,
but I just want to say, I'm very proud of
what you are doing. You know what I'm saying, especially
as a young black girl out here, You're very intelligent,
very smart, and I think that needs to be you know,
said and shined on because a lot of people look
at you know, certain people nowadays and they don't really
(12:11):
are they like you said, they see the aesthetic, but
you know, you really are putting in the work mentally
to get to where you're going.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah. I had an argument about you the other day
and I was saying, Sweetep really put up some points
on the scoreboard, like you had some number ones and
they were really really big. We're gonna get into that. Yeah,
So you put out the song, you put out the video.
What happens next?
Speaker 6 (12:36):
I had several meetings at different labels.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Did they just have they get flew out friends?
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Surprisingly, all my meetings were in La.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Okay, So yeah, you did make the right decision. I
guess moving you had to go far.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, but this was like two years after I graduated
from college. Yeah, I struggled for like two years in LA.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
But how was the struggle? We talked about the struggle too,
because a lot of it was always real. Man.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I worked like a lot of odd jobs.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Where does Sweetie work that people would be like what?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
I was a receptionist.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I was a waitress at a strip club. I was
an ambassador for like Craigslist events like hey, come be,
come help us with this pop up shop, and you know,
like the people who help solicit at public in public areas.
But interestingly that helped me with like my people skills,
because when you're constantly being thrown into like different environments
(13:32):
with new people, you have to like accommodate really fast.
Speaker 6 (13:35):
You have to adapt. So it helped me.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
But I remember like every time I would like pay
my rent, my account would go back down to like
twenty or like forty dollars, and I was.
Speaker 6 (13:46):
Like, bitch, it's real, it's real.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
Not because like my aesthetic it was always just like
I've always wanted to be a rich bitch, Like ever
since I was a kid, that's what I aspired to be.
I like the diamonds the first I love the boss
bitches out there out to them, and I was like,
this is not what we planned. Friend, But I looked
myself in the mirror. That's why I see girl, I say,
look it in the mirror. I think, I feel I'm
(14:10):
about to be Like I was broke as fuck when
I wrote that, and I was like, we have to give.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Yourself a deadline.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
And I always tell people who I give advice to
give yourself a deadline because if you do that, you're
able to keep track of like what you're doing. So
I gave myself a year to make it in LA
and if I didn't make it, I was going to
go home and at least be comfortable and stack my
money up and move back to LA.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
All my ninth month, I got discovered.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
That that does work, though, when you give yourself a deadline,
I know, I know you.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Know that personally, and I'm glad you're sharing these things
with people because I feel like how it looked on
the outside, it looked like it just happened really fast.
But the things that you're saying would make someone say, wow,
I didn't know she had to do that. I didn't
know she had to work these jobs. I didn't know
how to do. That kind of makes it a little
bit more human.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
So when did you have to get When did the
check come? Where you can say, well, you can tike
tail a little bit, When did that big check come?
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Is that when you signed? Did you get in advance
or you.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Always was on Warner correct, you decided to.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Go, it was on Warner.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
But before that I was doing I was an influencer
for like weave companies and clothing companies. So because Icy
Girl was like new and hot, it had put the
attention like that helped me get my first like low key,
low hanging fruit like Brandill's. Like that was the first
time I had a couple thousand in my bank account.
I just had to like post my picture they would
and they would pay me.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Okay, So that twenty dollars turned into a couple of
thousand dollars getting some shows or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Because the song was doing.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Really the show was an Istanbul Turkey.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Wow, how how they pay you? You?
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Turkey?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Stanbul, yurkey, Yes, all the way over there, all the
way over.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
There, and yes, and I sat in the middle seat.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The whole thought is like, I'm not doing this. Listen,
I gotta know how much they paid you. Okay, I
would have said.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Yeah, I said how much are we going?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
One thing about now, listen, One thing about a cancer
is we get real uncomfortable when we ain't got no money. Right,
So it's like when it's time to get but when
it's time to get that check, we finna get it.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
It's just like I was in the middle seat.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
On the side of the plane. I'm gonna be on
a plane like this. It was at the time that
you maybe got a little bit of an excel. You
got that in l As. Did that motivate you to
keep going?
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
But then after that I had got my contract okay,
but my contract wasn't like one of those flashy contracts.
It was it was enough for me, but it wasn't
like you know how some.
Speaker 6 (16:45):
People like break the bank and get me.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
What made you go with Warner out of all the labels, To.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Be honest, I don't remember why. I can just remember
how I felt in those meetings. So I kind of
like this followed like my feelings energy. Okay, did you
have a manager at the time and an unofficial manager?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I did you like just sat right here and just
act like you know what you're doing? No, it was.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Somebody who was trying to like help me, like navigate, gotcha.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Yeah, We're going to navigate to a break real quick.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Man.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
We got Sweetie right here on the Butler Alert Show,
right here on revote.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We'll be right back with more of the Bawler Alert Show.
You're listening to a special edition of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5 (17:25):
A Sweety with a Baller Alert Show? Right here on
re vote beg but more the bro Alert Show. We
got Sweety in the building.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Ye're having a great cab. I love this.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
I love the humble beginnings to now just to know
who you are. I want to talk about the mental space,
you know, and the mental health of Sweetie back in
those times to now, how were you were you calling
your mom like you know sometimes like hey, help me
get through this day? Like how did you stay mentally sound,
you know, through the broke times to on your rich
(17:56):
girl journey.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I would say a prayer like I said.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
My grandparents were pastors, so I was in the church
like Sunday through Sunday, so that's always like my first
go to I would call my grandmother a lot.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
She should pray on the phone with Yeah, she.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Would pray for me.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
And then books like one of my favorite favorite books
is The Alchemist?
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Really do you read it every year? I read it interestingly.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
I read it in every stage in my life, and
every time I read it, I pick up something different
me too.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah, I was gonna say, so, now, your personal life,
I know you know, sweetie is never alone? Do you
are you? Were you ever in a relationship at these times?
And did it go away? Because hey man, I got
to focus on this right now.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
And no, I was so disgusted with myself. I didn't
want to date.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Okay, so you weren't dating anything.
Speaker 6 (18:44):
I was one of those like I'm one of those people.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
If I'm down bad, especially like financially, and I'm not
where I'm at where I want to be in my career,
I don't want to talk to nobody.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Where does that come from?
Speaker 5 (18:54):
Did that?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Did Pops or anybody say, hey man?
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I think that's just how I innately felt at the time,
I didn't want to date, like what do I have
to offer?
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Like I wanted to get myself together.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
That's interesting and that's big on you saying that, because
you know, some people would just date and just be
toxic or you a la.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Some people would just try to find somebody out there
that could, you know, help them.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
No, I think that's a cancer trait too, because come on,
you just like you know, like I said, when you
when you don't have any money, or if you don't
feel like you know you who are who you want
to be, you just kind of retreat to your shell
a little bit and then you like, I'm going to
come out when I feel confident.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So that leads me to my next question. So when
do you start feeling comfortable enough within yourself to be
open to that, not saying that you're going to do it,
but to be open to that. When when did that
part happen in your life?
Speaker 6 (19:43):
I felt like I was.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I was able to become comfortable with myself after after
I got my deal and after I was able to
like pay off my student loans.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
I was able to.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
So you paid yours off. I just let my slide,
so you didn't wait on Biden Man.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I was honestly, I was scared because I think how
my loans were set up, Like after a certain amount
of years, I would start to get what do you.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
The money taking your account?
Speaker 6 (20:09):
No interest?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Yeah, create interest. After a certain amount of years, my
loan would have created interest. So I wanted to pay
minds off before it before I did that.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
You in the USC, So I'm pretty sure that tuition
was so you know, it's.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Hella crazy and I think that this was so fed
up cuss.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
So when I had transferred to USC because of my grades,
I was covered fully because I forgot what I had
applied for, but my tuition was covered. However, each year
after that, tuition would raise, but my like expenses were
capped at this amount. So it's just like although my
(20:53):
tuition was covered the first year, I spent three more
years in college after that.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Like, yeah, I had to.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I had to take out more money to cover like
the remainder of the balance the loans.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Yeah, I'm surprised you never got a scholarship or anything,
because then you run track.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
I played volleyball, volleyball, yeah, but I have got a
full ride scholarship to like the D two schools in
the Midwest. You didn't want to go there, and I
wanted to be in the city. But in hindsight, I
do wish I would have at least tried it because
I missed sports so much. Oh yeah, yeah, sports really
like instilled like my like how I work, okay, and
(21:31):
how I work with people.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
You ever want to consider doing, you know, starting a
league or anything like that, And later on.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I would consider like sponsoring volleyball girls. Yeah, maybe not
creating a league, but just like endorsing them. Because my
senior year of college, we couldn't afford the sports package
for our senior year. And you know, my coach loved
me dearly, but he was like, if you can't pay this,
you can't play. So I stood in front of a
bank for eight hours and raised the money and then
(21:58):
paid off and paid off my my senior year fee.
Speaker 6 (22:03):
Whatever that was.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
How did you what was you doing in front of
the bank.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
I had on my volleyball T shirt.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I was in front the Chase Bank and it was
hella hot outside, but I came out there at eight
am and I basically just asked for money from quarters
to fifty dollars bills.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
Wow, Like people do.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's what I don't believe them now.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I think I think back in the day that worked,
But I think now I think they're scamming out.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Could you do be looking like they about six five
and forty years old?
Speaker 6 (22:37):
Don't have on no uniform either.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Boys, bro.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
I seen somebody come up to me the other day
talking about, Yeah, you want to support my football boy?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
You forty two? You was not in you was not
doing no football league. No.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
But one thing that I learned that day was I
still in front of a bank and then I went
over to the grocery store to see if it would like,
if it would change people like who are grocery shopping
are less likely to donate than people going to the bank,
because what are you what are you doing at a bank?
You're going to get moneyey, So it was like a
quick lesson learned. But I was like, I never doing
this again. But if you are out like trying to
(23:11):
sell something, I recommend standing in front of a bank
than any other like.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Pay yourself or did you have your parents with you?
Speaker 6 (23:18):
I was by myself. I was like, I'm gonna go
get this money.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (23:21):
He was stugging it.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Man.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
I love it. I respect it.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I respect your hustle. I'm about to say I respect
the hustle too. So graduating college, I know that was
a big deal for you. Was it the big deal?
Did everybody come down for it? Did you walk across
the stage? Okay?
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Did you also feel that pressure to as a kid
like I need to do this for my parents to finish?
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Be pressurized to finish?
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I think, not necessarily to finish, but to get good grades,
because I'm just like, if I'm.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Not getting grades in college, what was your GPA?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Three point six?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Wow, that's great in college time. She's just like you
was taking out.
Speaker 6 (23:57):
Loans and I was taking out loans.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Come on, man, y'all got to.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Now, because for me, the scholarships would be like fifteen hundred,
fifteen hundred. I don't want to be riding a whole
bunch of essays for fifteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
There's a lot of essays you got to write.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I do think to the volleyball lane would be a
popping lane for you, because I don't really see any
celebrities talking about volleyball bringing it like almost like the
w NBA, like everyone's talking about it now. If I
see volleyball on TV, I'll stop and watch it because
I actually think it's actually very complex sport and it's
a very team related sport. You have to need you
(24:35):
need each other out there wanting to get that ball
over to us. You got to communicate coach the coordination
and hitting the ball and making sure you know he
talking about it's a setup. You get the person. You
got to have someone that's like a set up person.
My daughter played Oh okay, But I say I will
watch it though, But like watching it on TV, it's
the ultimate team sport if you're watching volleyball.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
But speaking about that team sport and that being your background,
did you go into to that business wise when you
were at Warner and how everybody plays a team in
communication with you know, did you have a plan on
how you wanted things done and then they backed you
or how did that work.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
I'm a very visual person, so when it comes to
like presenting, I like to have my mood boards.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
I like to write everything out and then I present it.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
But when it comes to just having a background in sports,
I prefer to work with people who played sports because
they tend to have a higher like emotional intelligence.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
They have.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
They just have better a better.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Skill set when it comes to communication, and they're less
ego driven. They understand that like word team and we're
all working for like the greater good and the bigger picture.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
Did you was anybody on the label from sports or
did you pick Hey? I want to work with this,
A and R. I want to do X, Y and Z.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Not necessarily with the label, but with like my internal team, okay,
like management or like the creatives that I hire around me.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
I'm always curious to see if you play the.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Sport hard it is to get the labels behind you,
because I seen when you release your new song, you
told the label.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Kicking that butch. I actually even backed that up, and
later on in the comments I said they should definitely
open the butt. Roary was definitely talking about I don't notice,
but I worked at Warner for eight months last year.
Wait did that meet you one time? Yeah? Okay, so
eight months I was there last year, and of course
you were one of the main party, the priority so birthday,
(26:30):
all those records, like, yeah, so I had a dope
moment just seeing your music and hearing your music and
stuff like that. So I just say that to say
this ninety record, and I know we will probably take
a break and come back with it. This is a
very good record for you. Thank you.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Yeah, let's do that right now. Take a break. We'll
be right back with more sweety on the Butler Alert Show.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
We'll be right back, Stay tuned with more of the
Baller Alert Show. You're listening to a special edition of
the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 6 (26:57):
Hey, what's up a sweety with a Baller Alert Show
right here?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
I'm a vote back with more of the Brother Law Show.
We got so weedy.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
You're talking about that new record and a label, you know,
opening up that budget. So when you put the record
out right, is the record?
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Who is nanny? What is nanny?
Speaker 6 (27:18):
Is a feeling?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Okay? Someone makes you feel like.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Nanny is just like a it's like a main character energy.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Like oh oh but look y'all to sidetracked me.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
So when you at least the record with you know what,
you're expecting this positive response like no, hmmm.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
I feel like every time I've released a record, like
even with like my big records, like tapping my type
best Friend, I've always just had such a it's like
almost how do I say this? It's like cool, to
like true me. So for every release date, like someone
will come up with with like a false narrative or
(28:06):
a way to like troll me on my release date.
So I used to like get really nervous for like
my release dates, but eventually, like you become like desensitized
to internet culture. However, for this release, I was really
shocked by all the positivity and I was really grateful
for it because I've never experienced that much love on
like a release date.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yeah, everybody was like this is the one I do.
Want to rewind just quickly and to stay on topic
because My Type was a very big record for you,
best friend. I you actually used that instrument on my radio.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Showmmy nominated thank you and when both.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Of those went number one, correct me if I'm wrong. My
type is like you're really aggressive in there, like you like,
what was the motivation for my type? Cuts to somebody
out like you want to know?
Speaker 6 (28:51):
Yeah, guy, my type was it this record?
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yes, I felt that who I'm not going to.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
It was a dis record to a guy like I
had to.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I had to change the chorus because I had said
it was. It was arranged a different way. But I
remember I felt like somebody had played me. So I
was like, like I was saying what my type was
because I was like my my energy was like, oh
I'm going to be back on the market, like I'm
looking for my type.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
So, yes, you're right.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I said, no, she cuts to somebody out of this.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
It originally was I got new new new wrist.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
You're mad. You're mad when you say that?
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Initially said new whip snoop. But around.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
This was this person that you're talking. Okay, well the
motivation for the song are they like, were they popular
or were they not popular? It was something that they
tried you or.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
It was such a long time.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Because this was the next that was that was after
my type came after so Icy? Correct, Yeah, best friend
came the best friend? Is you put me on the
Doja Cat? I knew nothing about Doja Cat until best Friends? Really, Wow,
I'm just saying fans now, I'm just saying she put
me onto doj I'm just guys.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
I feel you.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
But let's get back to sweetie. How did you feel
to be nominated for a Grammy though? Facts, because now
you on another level.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
It was surreal. Yeah, it was surreal.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
When you first got the dudes or was it feeling.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
Like what, I don't know, you don't want to know.
What's interesting. No one celebrated it. Nobody said what you
mean by la you mean, I just no one celebrated it.
I didn't celebrate it. I was working a lot, so
I never really liked tooking that moment. Oh yeah, so
it's like I was celebrating it now, thank you. I
was grateful for it, but I was working so much
(30:58):
and I don't know, like, no one really made it
a big deal.
Speaker 6 (31:03):
So I didn't make it a big deal. That's unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Yeah, you see an accomplishment.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (31:09):
And do you take time sometimes when you make these
these big strides in your career, do you take time
to celebrate or do you just keep going?
Speaker 6 (31:19):
Now I'm extra as fuck.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Now.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
I really try to practice gratitude. That's one of the
first things I practiced in the morning, because it's just
like I don't want to go by life so much
to where everything becomes blurred and I don't appreciate the
little things, the medium things, the big things, or just anything.
So I try to like show my gratitude as much.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
As I can.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
No, I like the fact that that you take time
out to appreciate the hard work, because I do feel
like a lot of times, just us as people in general,
like you know, everybody's working so much, and a lot
of times you don't get the chance to, you know,
celebrate the winds. And because a lot of people, you know,
they cry about the losses, but we don't celebrate.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
The winds right right, And even going to that, like
I try to remember the girl who was running rooms
off of Craigslist, like writing down my goals, manifesting, praying,
and I'm just like.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
She would be so happy right now. So you need
to celebrate, do you.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
I was gonna say, do you go back to church
any and you know, right now in your adult life?
Speaker 3 (32:18):
And when I go see my grandparents, yes, And then
for the holidays, when I'm in La, I'll go with
like my cousins and my uncle to like a local church.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
You know, when you get into the spirit, do you
have those reflections of I came a long way.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Robbie shouting, I'll be speaking at times?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Yeah, yeah, what should be putting the offering table a lot?
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Tie?
Speaker 6 (32:40):
Do you tie? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, that's good. Yeah, that's why you're so blessed now?
What is co sign from like a big female rapper?
Happened that you was like, oh snap.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
My favorite co sign I've ever gotten with some share.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
We made it the Calvin client campaign, right, the mac
cambinack campaign.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I like shared. When you meet her, you can tell
she has a lot of discernment, Like she's really like
she she a young, She a young girl. She she
ain't aged one bit when we see now that she's
one day. Right, yes, this isn't so Share gave you
a big co sign that was dope. Yeah, And she's
(33:24):
always just every time I hit her, she hits me back.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Wow, she's hella cool.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I had dinner at her house after we had did
that campaign, and she's just like full of stories, full
of love, full of confidence, full of life.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
How do you handle like, like you said, it's easy
to troll, sweetie, how do you handle criticism?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Girl so highly criticized?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
So literally when I was going through like my spiritual awakening,
when like I had shaved all my hair off, I
was just just reading a lot, and I remember there
was a there was a philosophy in this in this
think piece about the matrix that we're in, and basically
like everybody plays a role. So if you look at
like a hater or a criticizer as just like the
(34:08):
bad player and you're the protagonist, it helps you like
view your life a lot differently, because in every movie
there's a bad guy, like we're not.
Speaker 6 (34:16):
None of us is excluded from that.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
So every time somebody comes at me, I'm just like, Okay,
you the You're like the opposition in my story. You're
the NPC, maybe like Trinity. Okay, but I feel like
we're all neo in our own stories. And I feel
like that movie is is just so symbolic for just
us awakening in the world.
Speaker 6 (34:41):
That we're in the Matrix movie.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And when you're able to like distinguish the haters as
like the men in black with the glasses on, it
just helps you.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
It's like a relief, like that's your job to do that.
I understand. I'm gonna let you do your job while
I do mine.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
I feel like celebrities, why do y'all let the comments
and the people on the internet make y'all so mad?
Speaker 6 (35:08):
Do you read the comments? You can't make me, man,
I'm gonna try you right back.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Okay, you read them?
Speaker 6 (35:14):
Do you read the comments?
Speaker 3 (35:15):
So you know I do read them because I also
respond to positivity. I can't help that there might be
like some hate in between the positivity, but I'm so
desensitized because of the amount of hate I receive. So
I mean, it's just one of those moments where your
trauma makes you stronger.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
But you do know that fans are doing that to
get a response.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Because absolutely, because when I'm mentally sparring with them, when
they tooche and they be like okay, bitch, like you're funny,
or like we get it, they become a fan.
Speaker 4 (35:41):
Or they've been looking to get a rid, or they
may have been a fan that's been trying to get
your attention. So I love you, I love your music,
I love what you're doing. And you might never see that.
But as soon as they say, oh I don't like
you no more, you am like, well, I don't like
you neither.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
They're like, yes you responded, no, no, no, it's a
it's a I don't respond to audi hate. It's like
it's really like it's it has to have a little
humor to it. If you just outrightly just disrespectful, I'm
just gonna ignore you.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
And do you block them? Or I don't know, you
just let move. You get a mute, You get a
mute everybody.
Speaker 5 (36:13):
You got way too many followers to even the same thing,
not as muting, because even a block is a response,
and I do want something.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I don't like when the haters be like, oh, someone's
so blocked me. Now you ain't gonna get that for me.
Speaker 4 (36:24):
So when you making music, dude, I know you said
you always every release, you always get a bunch of hate.
Does that kind of mess up like the creativity of
doing the music, because you like, I gotta put some
music that's gonna make these people in the comments or
the internet, you know, actually like it.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
You know, I'm really I'm really a big fan of alchemy,
and I feel like when you're able to like transmute
negativity as a positivity, it could work. Because I remember
I got dragged for taping and they was like, oh, Sweetie,
can't wrap. She sounds like a kindergartener. I went back
and I wrote pretty VIIs freestyle. So I took that
(37:00):
hate and I transmuted it into creativity. And then two
weeks later I dropped this amazing freestyle on my birthday
that's still one of my fan favorites. I think that
as long as we like use the hate for a
better good, we'll be all right.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
You also have people that are fans of you with
your style, your looks.
Speaker 6 (37:18):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I think that's a great thing for artists who has
two sets of fans. Are we gonna see like a
career in that field because I kind of see that
you kind of, to me, looks like you're solely music
first and only.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
I think that once I solidified, like my music, released
my first album, then I'll go into my other outlets
of creativity.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
But right now, it's just this album.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
Okay, what's the title of the album?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
You know, my movement was pretty much music, and that's
what I was calling it, But I don't After the
body of work is done, I'm gonna release it with
it and see if that's what I'm still gonna call.
Speaker 2 (37:56):

the name possibly? What's some other names you got?

We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
