because you're like, wow, my life could be a lot
crazier if you didn't get through. You can always leave

fifty and we'll play your secret for last word. And
(09:07):
I know between these three they got a lot of secrets.
It's Kanye jay Z, Frank Ocean, and No Church in
the Wild.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's way up, oh, way up with Angela on now
what it is? What's up?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It is way up with the Angela yee. I'm Angela yee.
And Jasmine Brand is here yes, and Victoria Monette is here.
I'm so excited. Well, first of all, we have something
for you.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Of course, we got some don p Yeah, to celebrate
a sold out tour in one minute. Also, all the
success that you've been having, Angela, she reacted to how
you thought she would.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Thank you so much?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Shall we cheer?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Cheers?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Cheer us.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
This is how we get it started. No, but I
mean let's get into it though, because hello, you're doing
headlining tour and that's what we really are toasting too.
And it's so in like a minute for real, like
how did you feel when that happened? And did you
know that was going to happen?
Speaker 9 (10:04):
I did not know that was going to happen.
Speaker 10 (10:06):
So what we did was every show went on sale
locally at ten am. So as they were selling out,
my manager was calling me from like so it's like
Atlanta show all.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
The way to the West coast, like okay.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
This sold out, this sold out, the tickets are gone,
and it was just surreal. But very affirming to know
that people really, if you give them the opportunity, they'll
they'll support you, because I see on Twitter people are
always like you're underrated, and it's like different when people
are just tweeting and talking right versus when they actually
show up for you and.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Like, and I think that even just everything you've done
before this, because you know, obviously I've been following your
career friends time, and I've been seeing and here's a
fun fact that people may not know. At one point
I tried to sign her, and I remember that he
wanted to put her underneath his label, you know, and
you tell us.
Speaker 9 (10:52):
About that, because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I didn't know that I.
Speaker 10 (10:54):
Used to be signed to Atlantic Records, and I feel
like maybe that's how we connected.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
That's how we connected.
Speaker 10 (10:58):
And I was doing a lot of demos, like hook demos,
because I had looked at Bruno Mars mbob and how
that song did so well, and then Bruno was able
to take that record and make his own career. So
I was like, I'm gonna just spend a bunch of
time just doing hooks. So I was just writing hooks
only I would just not waste any time with the
verse just hooks, and Atlantic had a lot of rappers,
(11:20):
and so I was submitting a bunch of hooks and
I would try to sing them well enough that maybe
some rappers will keep me on the hooks. So this
is why what started like the hook era for me.
So I ended up being with NAS on a song
with Nas and TI and I wrote song for Meet
Mill and Mary J just like a hook era for
me MGK as well. So TI and I were collaborating
(11:40):
a lot with Tommy Brown at the time, and so
he was kind of showing me the ropes. He let
me do a couple of shows with him singing the
hooks that I was a part of, and he offered
to sign me. I always felt like it just wasn't
the right time for me to be signed to anybody.
And I also thought of myself, like, if I'm going
to be signed right now, I'd like to do it
myself and I have my own little in print or something, Okay,
(12:03):
So I just wanted to just wait it out a
little bit more.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
But he's really confident to wait it out and know
and be really sure of yourself.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Definitely, I just had a vision.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
All right, we are talking to Victoria Monette. And you're
an only child, right.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Yeah, I was born an only child, but I've discovered
I've met my dad in my twenties, and i discovered
that I.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Have a sister, so I'm not an only child. Have
you met her?
Speaker 10 (12:25):
Yes, beautiful, really hard at first because it's new information,
where like she was surprised and it was just a
whole thing, y'all.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
Sister, You know what when we met.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
No one was checking.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
So it's kind of like we've grown together and so
she's super supportive and it's a lovely sisterhood, even though
she lives in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And you also went to a performing arts school.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Right, Yes, I begged my mom to go. I literally
we didn't live in the district.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
She bought five acres of property, so we lived on
like a little modular home, but on this big land.
But it was far away from my school, so I
had to beg my mom to use someone else's address
in order to go to my.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Perform Yeah, go to jail for you you.
Speaker 9 (13:08):
Know, she lived down she wrote for me.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So yes, I return high school. Yeah, everything worked out.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
It did you know?
Speaker 10 (13:16):
But also my mom, I went to performing our school,
but she made me play golf my freshman year. She
thought I could get a scholarship because I was black
and nobody was playing golf.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
I was like, so freshman year, I was like, they're
holding a golf golf bag. People were like look attacker was.
I was like, no, please, let me just dance.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Literally she was, but she was listen, just thinking, Yeah,
that was very tactical of her. Victoria Monette is here
and we got more with her when we come back.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's way up with Angela ye more, way up with
Angela on Now what's up? It's way up. Put Angela Yee.
I'm Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
And Jasmine from the Jasmine brand is here and we're
talking to Victoria Monette. And I also remember you had
done an interview a while ago where you said that
you couldn't wait to have a kid. It was on
your vision. I sure did himself when you found out
you were pregnant. What was that like, because that was
something you wanted?
Speaker 10 (14:07):
Really crazy, It was unexpected. But the first thing I
started feeling was my breast. I was like something tender,
new and different. When it first said positive, I was
like like laughing. It was like no, So I took
another one, and it was in a pandemic. I was
trying to find a nice way to tell my boyfriend
(14:27):
because he had literally just asked me to be his
girlfriend the day before.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
She was like, whoa perfect timing, right.
Speaker 10 (14:32):
I was like, you must have felt something because you
asked me the right time. So I wrote him a
card that I just had in the house. You know,
we couldn't go to the store at the time to
get anything, so I was like, i'm's going right in here.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
I was like, June.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Third, you made me your girlfriend.
Speaker 9 (14:43):
June fourth, I made you.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It waste no time, literally one day.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
So but it was really cool.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So he asked you to be his girlfriend.
Speaker 10 (14:53):
So he wrote something on the on a mirror, and
he was asking me something about what I like to be,
and then he something like would you like if I
called you my girlfriend?
Speaker 9 (15:04):
And he wrote like a heart.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
And then our initials on really cute and innocent.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That is so sweet because I feel like people don't
ask that anymore.
Speaker 9 (15:14):
You know, people are like, we just go together. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Did your mom?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Did?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
She always like him?
Speaker 10 (15:20):
She met him pretty early on in our dating and
she liked him.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:24):
She was like we cud, Yeah, he's look for.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
How do you manage being busy and being a mom?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
How do you manage not feeling guilty or do you
feel guilty? I sure do feel guilty. I feel guilty
all the time.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
But I think my family reassures me that what I'm
doing is it's for her, it's for the family, it's
for the long one, for her future. So I try
to snap out of that really quick, and I also
try to bring her most places that I can so
I can combine my work and family life. So I
do plan to bring her on tour.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
She's on the album right, She's on the album.
Speaker 9 (15:58):

of all the time.

care a little bit later. Now she has no idea,
don't she.

man right exactly?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
If only?

which one?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Guy A or Guy B.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
If I'm gonna go do something like the beach that
doesn't take too much common sense, then I'll take Guy B.

Yeah, girl, all right, well, thank you for sharing. That
is the dilemma of the year.
Speaker 6 (08:28):

Well, if you're just dating Dan yet, you can date
both of them if you're not committed, if you're not

Speaker 9 (08:44):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
She's like nap, they both my man's okay, thank you,

because you're like, wow, my life could be a lot
crazier if you didn't get through. You can always leave

fifty and we'll play your secret for last word. And
(09:07):
I know between these three they got a lot of secrets.
It's Kanye jay Z, Frank Ocean, and No Church in
the Wild.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's way up, oh, way up with Angela on now
what it is? What's up?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
It is way up with the Angela yee. I'm Angela yee.
And Jasmine Brand is here yes, and Victoria Monette is here.
I'm so excited. Well, first of all, we have something
for you.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yes we do.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Of course, we got some don p Yeah, to celebrate
a sold out tour in one minute. Also, all the
success that you've been having, Angela, she reacted to how
you thought she would.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
Thank you so much?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Shall we cheer?
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Cheers?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Cheer us.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
This is how we get it started. No, but I
mean let's get into it though, because hello, you're doing
headlining tour and that's what we really are toasting too.
And it's so in like a minute for real, like
how did you feel when that happened? And did you
know that was going to happen?
Speaker 9 (10:04):
I did not know that was going to happen.
Speaker 10 (10:06):
So what we did was every show went on sale
locally at ten am. So as they were selling out,
my manager was calling me from like so it's like
Atlanta show all.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
The way to the West coast, like okay.
Speaker 10 (10:18):
This sold out, this sold out, the tickets are gone,
and it was just surreal. But very affirming to know
that people really, if you give them the opportunity, they'll
they'll support you, because I see on Twitter people are
always like you're underrated, and it's like different when people
are just tweeting and talking right versus when they actually
show up for you and.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Like, and I think that even just everything you've done
before this, because you know, obviously I've been following your
career friends time, and I've been seeing and here's a
fun fact that people may not know. At one point
I tried to sign her, and I remember that he
wanted to put her underneath his label, you know, and
you tell us.
Speaker 9 (10:52):
About that, because I didn't.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I didn't know that I.
Speaker 10 (10:54):
Used to be signed to Atlantic Records, and I feel
like maybe that's how we connected.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
That's how we connected.
Speaker 10 (10:58):
And I was doing a lot of demos, like hook demos,
because I had looked at Bruno Mars mbob and how
that song did so well, and then Bruno was able
to take that record and make his own career. So
I was like, I'm gonna just spend a bunch of
time just doing hooks. So I was just writing hooks
only I would just not waste any time with the
verse just hooks, and Atlantic had a lot of rappers,
(11:20):
and so I was submitting a bunch of hooks and
I would try to sing them well enough that maybe
some rappers will keep me on the hooks. So this
is why what started like the hook era for me.
So I ended up being with NAS on a song
with Nas and TI and I wrote song for Meet
Mill and Mary J just like a hook era for
me MGK as well. So TI and I were collaborating
(11:40):
a lot with Tommy Brown at the time, and so
he was kind of showing me the ropes. He let
me do a couple of shows with him singing the
hooks that I was a part of, and he offered
to sign me. I always felt like it just wasn't
the right time for me to be signed to anybody.
And I also thought of myself, like, if I'm going
to be signed right now, I'd like to do it
myself and I have my own little in print or something, Okay,
(12:03):
So I just wanted to just wait it out a
little bit more.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
But he's really confident to wait it out and know
and be really sure of yourself.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
Definitely, I just had a vision.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
All right, we are talking to Victoria Monette. And you're
an only child, right.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
Yeah, I was born an only child, but I've discovered
I've met my dad in my twenties, and i discovered
that I.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Have a sister, so I'm not an only child. Have
you met her?
Speaker 10 (12:25):
Yes, beautiful, really hard at first because it's new information,
where like she was surprised and it was just a
whole thing, y'all.
Speaker 9 (12:36):
Sister, You know what when we met.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
No one was checking.
Speaker 10 (12:41):
So it's kind of like we've grown together and so
she's super supportive and it's a lovely sisterhood, even though
she lives in Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
And you also went to a performing arts school.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Right, Yes, I begged my mom to go. I literally
we didn't live in the district.
Speaker 10 (12:54):
She bought five acres of property, so we lived on
like a little modular home, but on this big land.
But it was far away from my school, so I
had to beg my mom to use someone else's address
in order to go to my.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Perform Yeah, go to jail for you you.
Speaker 9 (13:08):
Know, she lived down she wrote for me.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
So yes, I return high school. Yeah, everything worked out.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
It did you know?
Speaker 10 (13:16):
But also my mom, I went to performing our school,
but she made me play golf my freshman year. She
thought I could get a scholarship because I was black
and nobody was playing golf.
Speaker 9 (13:24):
I was like, so freshman year, I was like, they're
holding a golf golf bag. People were like look attacker was.
I was like, no, please, let me just dance.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Literally she was, but she was listen, just thinking, Yeah,
that was very tactical of her. Victoria Monette is here
and we got more with her when we come back.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's way up with Angela ye more, way up with
Angela on Now what's up? It's way up. Put Angela Yee.
I'm Angela Yee.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
And Jasmine from the Jasmine brand is here and we're
talking to Victoria Monette. And I also remember you had
done an interview a while ago where you said that
you couldn't wait to have a kid. It was on
your vision. I sure did himself when you found out
you were pregnant. What was that like, because that was
something you wanted?
Speaker 10 (14:07):
Really crazy, It was unexpected. But the first thing I
started feeling was my breast. I was like something tender,
new and different. When it first said positive, I was
like like laughing. It was like no, So I took
another one, and it was in a pandemic. I was
trying to find a nice way to tell my boyfriend
(14:27):
because he had literally just asked me to be his
girlfriend the day before.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
She was like, whoa perfect timing, right.
Speaker 10 (14:32):
I was like, you must have felt something because you
asked me the right time. So I wrote him a
card that I just had in the house. You know,
we couldn't go to the store at the time to
get anything, so I was like, i'm's going right in here.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
I was like, June.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Third, you made me your girlfriend.
Speaker 9 (14:43):
June fourth, I made you.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
It waste no time, literally one day.
Speaker 9 (14:48):
So but it was really cool.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So he asked you to be his girlfriend.
Speaker 10 (14:53):
So he wrote something on the on a mirror, and
he was asking me something about what I like to be,
and then he something like would you like if I
called you my girlfriend?
Speaker 9 (15:04):
And he wrote like a heart.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
And then our initials on really cute and innocent.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That is so sweet because I feel like people don't
ask that anymore.
Speaker 9 (15:14):
You know, people are like, we just go together. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Did your mom?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Did?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
She always like him?
Speaker 10 (15:20):
She met him pretty early on in our dating and
she liked him.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:24):
She was like we cud, Yeah, he's look for.
Speaker 8 (15:27):
How do you manage being busy and being a mom?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
How do you manage not feeling guilty or do you
feel guilty? I sure do feel guilty. I feel guilty
all the time.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
But I think my family reassures me that what I'm
doing is it's for her, it's for the family, it's
for the long one, for her future. So I try
to snap out of that really quick, and I also
try to bring her most places that I can so
I can combine my work and family life. So I
do plan to bring her on tour.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
She's on the album right, She's on the album.
Speaker 9 (15:58):
She's on it with uh with Wind and Fire. Yes, yes,
she's on there with Earth, Wind and Fire. It's really full.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So she teld me that's one of her favorite groups
of all the time.
Speaker 9 (16:06):
She's gonna be like you. I think she's going to
care a little bit later. Now she has no idea,
don't she.
Speaker 10 (16:12):
Actually when she hears her part, she her cup so yeah,
since actually the part that she's on on the song
