Jason D's right, the producer, He reproduced the song, and
of course it's the one mic feel, so I had
to keep it New York.
Speaker 3 (00:38):

I gotta get on it, and he got on it.

Speaker 6 (01:14):
All.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
So listen and we've been watching like a lot of
things that have been happening with you lately, but what
we love to see is the positivity. First of all,
thank you, first of all to put out a song
in the midst of all this.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's a hit song.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It's a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You've always known that you wanted to be a solo artist, right, No,
you never wanted to. No.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I like being in the back you do, like girl
I used to kill on backgrounds, but still because I was.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Just reading whose story was it? And she was, yeah,
it was Kelly Price. She was talking about how she
knew yeah when she was doing backup for so many people.
But you would think, because I remember Anthony Hamilton when
he was doing background singing for DiAngelo, a lot of
those really great background singers end up.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I mean, growing up, I never really thought I was
the best singer out the group Escape. I felt like,
you know, everybody else had a better voice than me,
So I was I was comfortable in my position. Okay,
So it was like stepping out was a little scary
because I mean, we all leave sing we don't have
no particular but the first album, my sister and Candy
did the most singing.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I didn't realize how well you could sing until the
reality show, because you know, you kind of played to
the background, and it's I feel like you kind of
I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I
kind of feel like you kind of dimmed your life
a little bit in terms of your vocals, and then
all of a sudden it was always there, but now
that you're in the spotlight more, it's like, oh, she can.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Really blow blank you thank you? Yes?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Are you do you think fans are surprised?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
A lot of people are you know a lot of
people like, oh wow, we didn't know you could sing.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I was like, yeah, bit, but.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Where did that come from? Though?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Of you not wanting to to step out and be
in the spotlight like you are now, Like why do
you think that?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Was?
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Just?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Even growing up in our household, my sister was groomed
to sing like my father.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He worked with both of them, with both of us,
but my sister was she shot up.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
She had an album out eight eleven, so she was
the singer. So it was instilled in us that this
is the singer like you go back, you you go
do backgrounds for your sister. And I felt good being
able to just back her up. So they had even
been in a group.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Jermaine wanted that he was in love with t Bo's sound,
so he took that sound and made Candy sing. Even
though candy register is she can go all the way high,
he made her start like just kicking it with the
low register.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So that was her sound.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
And my sister always came in and did the gospel thing,
and you know, and then me and Tiny we was
in the background, like we came in, you know, in
and out when we were needed.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But I mean I was comfortable.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So how did you get tugged into doing this song?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Then?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
In that case, since.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
See, I did a lot of writing, and when I write,
I like to do the demos. So my husband heard
a song that I did and he was like that's you.
We were dating and I was like yeah. He was like,
you know you could do this solo. I was like, nah,
I'm not that strong of a you know, of a
voice or whatever. But he always told me you should,
you know, you should do it. But I was like,
now I'm good. And then finally you said finally, yes, Finally,
(04:07):
I was like, let me just give this a try,
you know, if it works at work. If not, at
least I can say I tried, and I've been getting
great response, Like I'm like, wow, I'm glad they're accepting
me because a lot of people they don't accept people
outside of the group.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's a lot of people that sing that sing very well,
but they expect them to be with the group.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, that is hard too, sometimes when you first come
out and you're part of a group and then you
want to go solo. I mean, it can work, but
I do feel like people get so used to that,
like group dynamic, and then it's always usually like not
everybody can make it that way. It'll be like one
person you know that can stand out. But and hey,
met the man's on the sound he was part of
a group and they all went solo too.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yes, yes, he killed it too.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I was listening to it today and I was like,
wait a minute, I heard something different than I heard
the other day. Like the more and more I hear
the song, I'm like, oh, that's what he meant when
he said that, Like he said some slick stuff on it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That was a great.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Girls so too of and you know, coming off of
the Queen's R and B. I was a little little,
I was a little I was old. I was okay,
let me see how I can put this. I was
a little stressed, okay, And I was a lot disappointed
because I felt like they wanted to show more of
the dysfunction of my family than things that we've created
(05:21):
outside of just escape, Like I have my own cookbook,
I have my own CDs so and they never showed it.
Even Tiny made drinks out of my book twice, one
for her family, one for the group. They never mentioned it.
So I remember afterwards, I was just like, I'm just
so over this. And I was cleaning up and I
was listening to some songs I wrote and Tonight came
(05:41):
on and it was like, hey, no drama, come away, tonight.
I'm gonna celebrate. And I was like, you know what,
they didn't celebrate me, but I'm gonna celebrate myself. So
I felt like it was needed to put that song
out to tell people we go so much. We go
hard for other people, you know, on our jobs in school,
trying to make a great trying to make sure our
spouses are good, trying to make sure the children are good.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But when do we celebrate ourselves? Right?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
When do we really just take our time to say,
you know what, I accomplish something. If nobody else celebrate me,
I'm going to celebrate on it.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
So you know what we should do that ourselves, ourselves.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I'm gonna celebrate you guys real, Oh you're not gonna
be here, man, No, But after that, I make sure
you'll celebrate for y'all. Thank you. He's going to the Bahamas.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Oh yes, he's going.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
To be celebrating without us, but for us.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
So we appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But speaking of that, right, being on a show like
you guys did Escape and SWV, you know clearly yes
they did focus a lot on the Jama. Did any
of that shall help you resolve issues that maybe have
been pushed to the side before but had been happening
for years, even within your own family. It forces you
to confront those things everybody's winging in on it, and
(06:52):
then maybe hopefully the best case scenario is a resolution.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, it did.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It just amplified a lot of things that were hitting.
You know, in family, we like to push things.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Under the rug because it's family.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You go through things and you're like, all right, we're
just gonna forget about it. We're gonna forgive kids and
make up. But you don't really just sit there and
fix the situation. And you can't keep putting a band
aid on it because the band aate gonna come off
and then all hell is gonna break loose, which happened
on test.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It did.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, it was. It was crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was but you know, family, we fight, we fussed,
but at the end of the day we always get
come back together because we're family.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Has there been a resolution, we're working towards it now, Okay,
so you're working on Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
We're working towards it, working towards it, towards it, Okay,
that's that's good.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, because sometimes you don't address things and then it
just kind of simmers because you've got issues for years
that you've never even talked about, talked about, right, and
even to the people who you've had them with maybe,
and then sometimes you feel like some type of resentment
because you haven't discussed it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
No, no one thing about me, Like when I go
through things, I will address it at that moment.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It depends on how you accept it.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
If you don't want to accept it, then don't want
to talk about it. Then I don't have no choice
but to not talk about it anymore. But I do.
Let you know how I feel. Okay, But you know,
it depends on the individual.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
How is it for your kids to watch you too?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oh my gosh, that's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Oh my gosh. I love my babies. I have three
beautiful daughters. One of them is a rapper, right, yeah,
like young Nash she's twenty. She was twenty four, but
everybody thinks she's nineteen because she's so she looks young.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Baby, she's a real lyricist, I'm telling you. And I'm
not just saying that. Yeah, And I'm not just saying
that because that's my child. Because my other one thought
she could sing it. I was like, baby, that's not
your gifts. Ma, I'm gonna be honest with you that
it's not your gift. So I put her in dance.
That wasn't her gift feither, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So we're still looking to figure out what that gift is.
We're gonna keep trying to figure it out.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
You need to be honest with you before you because
the world gonna tell you.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
I haven't a lot of pressure with you be and
her mom and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It is the pressure, it is.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
But that's interesting because even for you, like discussing your
background and how you came up and you were not
groomed to be the singer, but you actually have these
abilities to be in the front.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Well, we we sung an choir, so whenever you singing
in choir, you're being groomed to sing a certain type
of way. So yeah, the grooming came singing in a
choir as well.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
What happened to escape? Did y'all break up early on?
I'm talking about pre reality show. Did y'all break up?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
No, we disbanded back and we came out in ninety three.
We just celebrated thirty years a couple of days ago. Well,
we came out in ninety three, we broke up, We
disbanded in ninety nine, and then we came back together
in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
What was the breakup about?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
We just I think we just growing up. We were
young girls. We got together. We was fourteen friends, there
were friends at fourteen, grew up as friends, first as
friends and then the business.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
When you put business in it sometimes and you're trying
to figure things out. It will break you up if
you don't understand it right. And then we're trying to
figure out who we are as young women as well.
So it was like our home aws was all over
the place.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It was just it was later.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
And then there's also the accusations of well you did
this and to this person and then messed this up.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
It was at It was a lot, but by twenty seventeen,
we're all mature, you know. We all came together and
was like, Okay, we're gonna put this mess behind us.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Let's make history. And we did.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
We did a thirty city tour, arena tour that sold
out every city coming back and we even we were.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Like, whoa, we had never had our surprise. Yes, we
were very surprised. I was like, y'all gonna do arenas?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Was like theaters.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
It was like no arenas, Like people want y'all.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
We were like, really, that's a great feeling.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It was. It was.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
It was, And it's crazy because my kids were younger
and when they came, my daughter had came out to
the show, and you know how it started the cease
fill up. It wasn't many people out there. So she
went out to see you to take pictures. Then she
came back in she started crying. I was like, I
was getting my makeup, don't what She was like, I said, what, like,
YO said something to you? Do I need to go
put hands on somebody. She was like, I'm just so
proud of you. Oh my god, I never thought this way.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
She was crying. I was like, you're making me mess
up my makeup. Go get out of here.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
But you know, my kids they were so so shocked,
and they were like, Wow, you left an impression on
a lot of people, like you really are a star.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, start washing the dishes.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Don't forget your mama.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Stay.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I see people are trying to petition for you to
be on Real Housewives.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Also, Oh yeah that makes sense, right, what's up with that?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Are you considering it?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Because I see a lot of people, like, when they're
talking about who needs to be on this show, your
name comes up a lot.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
What's your hesitation? You already did you already did this
other reality?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I don't know. I mean you have Candy there with you? Yeah, yeah,
I don't see.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I don't want candy beat to be my beef because
if I see her going off on somebody, I'm gonna
have to be the big sister and be like, who
messing with you?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Back?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Friends?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Right, listen.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
So have they approached you or has I'm sure Candy
would love to have you on there too.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
No one has approached me. I mean back in the
day before Candy and I, you know, we had fallen out,
they wanted you to come on. They wanted me right,
and I was like no. Then they asked me again.
They asked me like three times, and I was like, no,
I'm not coming on for that. And I'm glad I
did it because I never made history like you did
in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, cause Candy's never talking to Phaeder again. I don't
care what she says.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
It does I got ship to say to her.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So, what are some of.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Your guilty pleasures? You know, when you're not working, when
you and when you're not with your man, your man,
your man and family time. What are some things that
you do?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I love to cook, like I'm a foodie because you cook.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
What's your favorite dish?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
You cook everything? I'm not even lying.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
What does everyone ask for when it comes to your cook.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
It's different things people want. They love when I'm a
beast on a grill, okay, on the stove. My daughter
likes fetti cheemi alfreid o. My other daughter, she likes
my cornbread dressing, you name it, my ribs, my macaroni
and cheese, everything like every time I go somewhere, they
want me to make everything. And she got the cookbook out,
(13:05):
so you already know table set cooking with Meacott.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm putting the taste of the South in your mouth?
Is there anything like that?
Speaker 7 (13:14):
Is there any dish that you have not mastered yet?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I've tried, I've tried everything.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Is that something you haven't mastered? You know that you like?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Is?
Speaker 7 (13:23):
This is too hard for me?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Oh wait a minute, I take that back.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Every time I meet a Jamaican, I asked him how
to make cocoa bread.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh Jamaican like, they like, we don't know how to
make make it? How to make coo bread from?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He doesn't. He's not making either.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know, I'm gonna get you sorry.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
He'd be doing his Jamaican.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Hear it, let me hear it.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
No situation.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's terrible, that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It sounds like it's real to me country.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And what about acting, right, because that is something that
you're passionate about ourselves.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yes, well I'm starting in the b Et movie at
the end of the year. You can chance the Christmas
Ringer with Kelly Price aar bars in it. The play
m hm is play yes as well. So it's a
Christmas movie. It's singing, a lot of singing one and.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You play a bad personal.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yea, she thinks she the best singer. Now totally different
from me. It was a challenge playing that role, but yeah,
we shot it up.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Did you enjoy being the villain a little bit?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I could tell you that did.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
And so let me ask you about your mental state
of mind while you were feeling because I know reality
TV can really be difficult, right. It's a lot of
trying to pack in a whole storyline and then people
see what they see when they watch it. Some people
may disagree with you. You may feel like that wasn't
portrayed the right way. There was a lot of people
feeling like s w V and Escape was beefing with
each other. There were stories about who's gonna headline and
(14:54):
who doesn't deserve to be the headliner and things like that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
How did that affect you?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I think the family issue affected me more than anything.
I was trying to stay focused on the business. I
was really excited about us coming together, putting on a
show that we've never seen before. Like even in the show,
you could see. I came with all these ideas and
one of my ideas, let me just let me just
say one of my ideas, I was saying sev should
came out on like a mechanical horse, like in their video.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And they were like, oh, she's extra. She doing too much.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
And now Beyonce comes out on the horse and everybody's like,
oh wow. I'm like, see, I had the idea two
year ago and y'all said I'm too extra. I was
trying to give them the joes. They didn't want it,
so but yeah, I mean it. The family, My family
took precedence over everything else, and I was I was
stressed when the first episode came out.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Girl, I stayed in the bed. I cried.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
My husband's he was out of town, he wasn't even there.
I cried my daughter didn't go to school. You know,
I'm a stigma about perfect attendance. But that day she
didn't go to school. I was just so stressed just
watching it, you know, seeing it and I was like, wow,
you know, this is what I've been dealing with all
my life and now is being you know, shown on
TV and I had to live it again things I
suppressed over the years. It was like, this is crazy.
(16:02):
And then I was like, why did I do this?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
What did your mom have to say about everything?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
From watching the conversations, how does she feel?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Mom still feels like she's right, She feels she still
feel like I disrespected her. She still feels like my
mom look at me like I am a ten year old,
and I'd be wondering, like, am I gonna start look
at my kids like that when I get older, you know,
And I'm like, I'm never going to do that to them.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I want to make sure they're adults.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I want to treat them like adults and you can
have a healthy adult relationship with your with your kids.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But she looks at me like I'm ten, and you know.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
How are you guys gonna work towards resolving that?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You think prayer participan you might need to bring in
a third party, like for real, though, you know, I
think that could be really helpful because you know, I mean,
certain things with a family, like trust, you know, can
be broken. Obviously, you and your sister, you say one thing,
she says another, and people are split. But I do
(17:00):
feel like, you know, you had a lot of people
backing you up. But I'm really yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Do you and your sister speak at all?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
There's no speaking. But you know, time time, I feel
like time heels time with hell.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Like filming the show and there's a lot going on
during the show. How was y'all able to film and
still have that real life you know, those real life issues.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Well, I mean I came, I came to work.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I came with my my hat on my what am
I trying to say? I came with my business hat,
so I know how to leave the personal stuff behind.
So when I came to the table, it was like, Okay,
I'm just gonna just block out the personal stuff and
I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna talk to the girls,
and we're gonna do what we came to do. And
every time I showed up, I showed up and.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I did what I was Is it ever like spill over?
Like to you know, there's a lot of times when
it's like, you know, the wife, husband, wife husband, did
it like spill over to the husband? Did you want
to put hands on her husband? And something like that?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
No, I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
She's lying.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I mean no, you know, God is good, do it?
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
But you know what, honestly, and with Mano asking that, right,
one of the most I think devastating things was you
having to come forward about that sex tape. And yeah, yes,
and you having to come forward and actually even like
reveal that. But sometimes you got to put things out
there before someone else puts it out.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yes, I did. I had to. I did.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I had to tell But it's crazy, but you know, yeah,
I had to. I had to tell it.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Did so did that get like are we okay there?
That's never coming out? We don't have to.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Well if it come out, did somebody gonna get sued?
Right right, They're gonna get sued for the deformation of character.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And to be clear, that was when she was in
her twenty years.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, I was younger. Then you think that that really?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Like, I mean, we live in a time where it's
like we see sex saves all the time.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Nobody, nobody, especially my keys. I still have a challenge
in there.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
You a guy, it's very different.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You're a guy.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Yeah, you probably do guy.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I would tell my husband get mad when I tell
you this. When we first started dating or whatever, he
had left me in his apartment. He had to go
out of town. So I was like, okay, and I
was looking through the closets and I saw a whole
bunch of tapes and I was like, why he got
those on the back of the shelf.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So I took him out and I played them. It
was him and I don't know how many girls.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I just stopped counting. It was like girl after girl watched.
I watched all the tapes and I sat there and
I was.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Like, she watched all.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I couldn't watch that.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I watched it.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
I wanted to see who I was dating to me too.
We never he didn't want to do a tape with me.
After that, I was like, his death is crazy, but
he was like happened in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
No, because I sa one of.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
His one of his boys was on the tape. I
saw he had tapes. I guess his boys didn't want
to take back with them. They had tapes there.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I watched all those.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Two so no, you didn't. Yeah, I washed it, but
one from Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
So okay, Well, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
The funny thing about it.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
When he came home I talked about it, He's like, yeah,
you know, you know I did that back in my past.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Like, no, this the same shirt you got on his shirt?
Still got his shirt. So so we were walking down
the street.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
No lie, one of the girls on the tape walked
past us and a like she did not know him.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And I looked at him.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
I said, how do you remember what she looked at that?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Oh baby, you remember, I said, isn't it one of
the chicks? He was like yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I was like, how she gonna like she don't know you.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You may be a little psychotac.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Because it would have been different walk them in the
middle and had different energy.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You wouldn't have liked that.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, you're right, So I'm glad. Yeah it was it
was best.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But did that affect your relationship because that happened before me.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, yeah, but watch that, watched all he wants to see.

They didn't turn me on.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
I was just like okay, And then I saw one
now Nola one he had one girl up in the air.

He picked her up in the air. I was like,

I remember when you first did the song and it
first came out and I said, she got a methama
and in the video.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yes, girl, I had to. I had to. You know,
it's well, what's the saint?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Jason D's right, the producer, He reproduced the song, and
of course it's the one mic feel, so I had
to keep it New York.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
So I had to get my big brother on it.
And he heard it and he was like, yo, sis.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
He was like, you're killing it and he was like,
I gotta get on it, and he got on it.
Shot the video here and the rest is history.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And that song because yeah, one mic they sampled that
was in the Air Tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Yes, yeah, in the Yes that.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Song was everybody that the original song too, like in
the Air Tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Absolute two hits, two hits and one.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
You love New York?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah, I love New York it's my second home.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Because her man you know, no, he's nice.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
All.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
So listen and we've been watching like a lot of
things that have been happening with you lately, but what
we love to see is the positivity. First of all,
thank you, first of all to put out a song
in the midst of all this.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That's a hit song.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It's a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You've always known that you wanted to be a solo artist, right, No,
you never wanted to. No.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I like being in the back you do, like girl
I used to kill on backgrounds, but still because I was.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Just reading whose story was it? And she was, yeah,
it was Kelly Price. She was talking about how she
knew yeah when she was doing backup for so many people.
But you would think, because I remember Anthony Hamilton when
he was doing background singing for DiAngelo, a lot of
those really great background singers end up.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I mean, growing up, I never really thought I was
the best singer out the group Escape. I felt like,
you know, everybody else had a better voice than me,
So I was I was comfortable in my position. Okay,
So it was like stepping out was a little scary
because I mean, we all leave sing we don't have
no particular but the first album, my sister and Candy
did the most singing.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
I didn't realize how well you could sing until the
reality show, because you know, you kind of played to
the background, and it's I feel like you kind of
I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I
kind of feel like you kind of dimmed your life
a little bit in terms of your vocals, and then
all of a sudden it was always there, but now
that you're in the spotlight more, it's like, oh, she can.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Really blow blank you thank you? Yes?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Are you do you think fans are surprised?
Speaker 4 (02:43):
A lot of people are you know a lot of
people like, oh wow, we didn't know you could sing.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I was like, yeah, bit, but.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Where did that come from? Though?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Of you not wanting to to step out and be
in the spotlight like you are now, Like why do
you think that?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Was?
Speaker 6 (02:57):
Just?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Even growing up in our household, my sister was groomed
to sing like my father.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
He worked with both of them, with both of us,
but my sister was she shot up.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
She had an album out eight eleven, so she was
the singer. So it was instilled in us that this
is the singer like you go back, you you go
do backgrounds for your sister. And I felt good being
able to just back her up. So they had even
been in a group.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Jermaine wanted that he was in love with t Bo's sound,
so he took that sound and made Candy sing. Even
though candy register is she can go all the way high,
he made her start like just kicking it with the
low register.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So that was her sound.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
And my sister always came in and did the gospel thing,
and you know, and then me and Tiny we was
in the background, like we came in, you know, in
and out when we were needed.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But I mean I was comfortable.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So how did you get tugged into doing this song?
Speaker 5 (03:42):
Then?
Speaker 1 (03:43):
In that case, since.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
See, I did a lot of writing, and when I write,
I like to do the demos. So my husband heard
a song that I did and he was like that's you.
We were dating and I was like yeah. He was like,
you know you could do this solo. I was like, nah,
I'm not that strong of a you know, of a
voice or whatever. But he always told me you should,
you know, you should do it. But I was like,
now I'm good. And then finally you said finally, yes, Finally,
(04:07):
I was like, let me just give this a try,
you know, if it works at work. If not, at
least I can say I tried, and I've been getting
great response, Like I'm like, wow, I'm glad they're accepting
me because a lot of people they don't accept people
outside of the group.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's a lot of people that sing that sing very well,
but they expect them to be with the group.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, that is hard too, sometimes when you first come
out and you're part of a group and then you
want to go solo. I mean, it can work, but
I do feel like people get so used to that,
like group dynamic, and then it's always usually like not
everybody can make it that way. It'll be like one
person you know that can stand out. But and hey,
met the man's on the sound he was part of
a group and they all went solo too.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Yes, yes, he killed it too.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I was listening to it today and I was like,
wait a minute, I heard something different than I heard
the other day. Like the more and more I hear
the song, I'm like, oh, that's what he meant when
he said that, Like he said some slick stuff on it.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That was a great.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Girls so too of and you know, coming off of
the Queen's R and B. I was a little little,
I was a little I was old. I was okay,
let me see how I can put this. I was
a little stressed, okay, And I was a lot disappointed
because I felt like they wanted to show more of
the dysfunction of my family than things that we've created
(05:21):
outside of just escape, Like I have my own cookbook,
I have my own CDs so and they never showed it.
Even Tiny made drinks out of my book twice, one
for her family, one for the group. They never mentioned it.
So I remember afterwards, I was just like, I'm just
so over this. And I was cleaning up and I
was listening to some songs I wrote and Tonight came
(05:41):
on and it was like, hey, no drama, come away, tonight.
I'm gonna celebrate. And I was like, you know what,
they didn't celebrate me, but I'm gonna celebrate myself. So
I felt like it was needed to put that song
out to tell people we go so much. We go
hard for other people, you know, on our jobs in school,
trying to make a great trying to make sure our
spouses are good, trying to make sure the children are good.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
But when do we celebrate ourselves? Right?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
When do we really just take our time to say,
you know what, I accomplish something. If nobody else celebrate me,
I'm going to celebrate on it.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
So you know what we should do that ourselves, ourselves.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I'm gonna celebrate you guys real, Oh you're not gonna
be here, man, No, But after that, I make sure
you'll celebrate for y'all. Thank you. He's going to the Bahamas.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Oh yes, he's going.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
To be celebrating without us, but for us.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
So we appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
But speaking of that, right, being on a show like
you guys did Escape and SWV, you know clearly yes
they did focus a lot on the Jama. Did any
of that shall help you resolve issues that maybe have
been pushed to the side before but had been happening
for years, even within your own family. It forces you
to confront those things everybody's winging in on it, and
(06:52):
then maybe hopefully the best case scenario is a resolution.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, it did.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It just amplified a lot of things that were hitting.
You know, in family, we like to push things.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Under the rug because it's family.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
You know.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
You go through things and you're like, all right, we're
just gonna forget about it. We're gonna forgive kids and
make up. But you don't really just sit there and
fix the situation. And you can't keep putting a band
aid on it because the band aate gonna come off
and then all hell is gonna break loose, which happened
on test.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It did.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, it was. It was crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
It was but you know, family, we fight, we fussed,
but at the end of the day we always get
come back together because we're family.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Has there been a resolution, we're working towards it now, Okay,
so you're working on Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
We're working towards it, working towards it, towards it, Okay,
that's that's good.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, because sometimes you don't address things and then it
just kind of simmers because you've got issues for years
that you've never even talked about, talked about, right, and
even to the people who you've had them with maybe,
and then sometimes you feel like some type of resentment
because you haven't discussed it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
No, no one thing about me, Like when I go
through things, I will address it at that moment.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It depends on how you accept it.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
If you don't want to accept it, then don't want
to talk about it. Then I don't have no choice
but to not talk about it anymore. But I do.
Let you know how I feel. Okay, But you know,
it depends on the individual.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
How is it for your kids to watch you too?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Oh my gosh, that's going on?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Oh my gosh. I love my babies. I have three
beautiful daughters. One of them is a rapper, right, yeah,
like young Nash she's twenty. She was twenty four, but
everybody thinks she's nineteen because she's so she looks young.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
Ye.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Baby, she's a real lyricist, I'm telling you. And I'm
not just saying that. Yeah, And I'm not just saying
that because that's my child. Because my other one thought
she could sing it. I was like, baby, that's not
your gifts. Ma, I'm gonna be honest with you that
it's not your gift. So I put her in dance.
That wasn't her gift feither, Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
So we're still looking to figure out what that gift is.
We're gonna keep trying to figure it out.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
You need to be honest with you before you because
the world gonna tell you.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
I haven't a lot of pressure with you be and
her mom and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It is the pressure, it is.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
But that's interesting because even for you, like discussing your
background and how you came up and you were not
groomed to be the singer, but you actually have these
abilities to be in the front.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Right.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Well, we we sung an choir, so whenever you singing
in choir, you're being groomed to sing a certain type
of way. So yeah, the grooming came singing in a
choir as well.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
What happened to escape? Did y'all break up early on?
I'm talking about pre reality show. Did y'all break up?
Speaker 4 (09:32):
No, we disbanded back and we came out in ninety three.
We just celebrated thirty years a couple of days ago. Well,
we came out in ninety three, we broke up, We
disbanded in ninety nine, and then we came back together
in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
What was the breakup about?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
We just I think we just growing up. We were
young girls. We got together. We was fourteen friends, there
were friends at fourteen, grew up as friends, first as
friends and then the business.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
When you put business in it sometimes and you're trying
to figure things out. It will break you up if
you don't understand it right. And then we're trying to
figure out who we are as young women as well.
So it was like our home aws was all over
the place.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It was just it was later.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
And then there's also the accusations of well you did
this and to this person and then messed this up.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
It was at It was a lot, but by twenty seventeen,
we're all mature, you know. We all came together and
was like, Okay, we're gonna put this mess behind us.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Let's make history. And we did.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
We did a thirty city tour, arena tour that sold
out every city coming back and we even we were.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Like, whoa, we had never had our surprise. Yes, we
were very surprised. I was like, y'all gonna do arenas?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Was like theaters.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
It was like no arenas, Like people want y'all.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
We were like, really, that's a great feeling.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It was. It was.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
It was, And it's crazy because my kids were younger
and when they came, my daughter had came out to
the show, and you know how it started the cease
fill up. It wasn't many people out there. So she
went out to see you to take pictures. Then she
came back in she started crying. I was like, I
was getting my makeup, don't what She was like, I said, what, like,
YO said something to you? Do I need to go
put hands on somebody. She was like, I'm just so
proud of you. Oh my god, I never thought this way.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
She was crying. I was like, you're making me mess
up my makeup. Go get out of here.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
But you know, my kids they were so so shocked,
and they were like, Wow, you left an impression on
a lot of people, like you really are a star.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, start washing the dishes.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Don't forget your mama.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Stay.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
I see people are trying to petition for you to
be on Real Housewives.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
Also, Oh yeah that makes sense, right, what's up with that?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Are you considering it?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Because I see a lot of people, like, when they're
talking about who needs to be on this show, your
name comes up a lot.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
What's your hesitation? You already did you already did this
other reality?
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I don't know. I mean you have Candy there with you? Yeah, yeah,
I don't see.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I don't want candy beat to be my beef because
if I see her going off on somebody, I'm gonna
have to be the big sister and be like, who
messing with you?
Speaker 6 (11:50):
Back?
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Friends?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Right, listen.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
So have they approached you or has I'm sure Candy
would love to have you on there too.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
No one has approached me. I mean back in the
day before Candy and I, you know, we had fallen out,
they wanted you to come on. They wanted me right,
and I was like no. Then they asked me again.
They asked me like three times, and I was like, no,
I'm not coming on for that. And I'm glad I
did it because I never made history like you did
in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah, cause Candy's never talking to Phaeder again. I don't
care what she says.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
It does I got ship to say to her.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
So, what are some of.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Your guilty pleasures? You know, when you're not working, when
you and when you're not with your man, your man,
your man and family time. What are some things that
you do?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I love to cook, like I'm a foodie because you cook.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
What's your favorite dish?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
You cook everything? I'm not even lying.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
What does everyone ask for when it comes to your cook.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
It's different things people want. They love when I'm a
beast on a grill, okay, on the stove. My daughter
likes fetti cheemi alfreid o. My other daughter, she likes
my cornbread dressing, you name it, my ribs, my macaroni
and cheese, everything like every time I go somewhere, they
want me to make everything. And she got the cookbook out,
(13:05):
so you already know table set cooking with Meacott.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I'm putting the taste of the South in your mouth?
Is there anything like that?
Speaker 7 (13:14):
Is there any dish that you have not mastered yet?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
I've tried, I've tried everything.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Is that something you haven't mastered? You know that you like?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
This?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Is?
Speaker 7 (13:23):
This is too hard for me?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Oh wait a minute, I take that back.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Every time I meet a Jamaican, I asked him how
to make cocoa bread.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Oh Jamaican like, they like, we don't know how to
make make it? How to make coo bread from?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
He doesn't. He's not making either.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
You know, I'm gonna get you sorry.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
He'd be doing his Jamaican.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Hear it, let me hear it.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
No situation.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
It's terrible, that's terrible.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It sounds like it's real to me country.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And what about acting, right, because that is something that
you're passionate about ourselves.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yes, well I'm starting in the b Et movie at
the end of the year. You can chance the Christmas
Ringer with Kelly Price aar bars in it. The play
m hm is play yes as well. So it's a
Christmas movie. It's singing, a lot of singing one and.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You play a bad personal.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yea, she thinks she the best singer. Now totally different
from me. It was a challenge playing that role, but yeah,
we shot it up.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Did you enjoy being the villain a little bit?
Speaker 6 (14:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I could tell you that did.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
It was fun.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
And so let me ask you about your mental state
of mind while you were feeling because I know reality
TV can really be difficult, right. It's a lot of
trying to pack in a whole storyline and then people
see what they see when they watch it. Some people
may disagree with you. You may feel like that wasn't
portrayed the right way. There was a lot of people
feeling like s w V and Escape was beefing with
each other. There were stories about who's gonna headline and
(14:54):
who doesn't deserve to be the headliner and things like that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
How did that affect you?
Speaker 4 (14:59):
I think the family issue affected me more than anything.
I was trying to stay focused on the business. I
was really excited about us coming together, putting on a
show that we've never seen before. Like even in the show,
you could see. I came with all these ideas and
one of my ideas, let me just let me just
say one of my ideas, I was saying sev should
came out on like a mechanical horse, like in their video.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And they were like, oh, she's extra. She doing too much.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
And now Beyonce comes out on the horse and everybody's like,
oh wow. I'm like, see, I had the idea two
year ago and y'all said I'm too extra. I was
trying to give them the joes. They didn't want it,
so but yeah, I mean it. The family, My family
took precedence over everything else, and I was I was
stressed when the first episode came out.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Girl, I stayed in the bed. I cried.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
My husband's he was out of town, he wasn't even there.
I cried my daughter didn't go to school. You know,
I'm a stigma about perfect attendance. But that day she
didn't go to school. I was just so stressed just
watching it, you know, seeing it and I was like, wow,
you know, this is what I've been dealing with all
my life and now is being you know, shown on
TV and I had to live it again things I
suppressed over the years. It was like, this is crazy.
(16:02):
And then I was like, why did I do this?
Speaker 1 (16:03):
What did your mom have to say about everything?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
From watching the conversations, how does she feel?
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Mom still feels like she's right, She feels she still
feel like I disrespected her. She still feels like my
mom look at me like I am a ten year old,
and I'd be wondering, like, am I gonna start look
at my kids like that when I get older, you know,
And I'm like, I'm never going to do that to them.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I want to make sure they're adults.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I want to treat them like adults and you can
have a healthy adult relationship with your with your kids.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But she looks at me like I'm ten, and you know.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
How are you guys gonna work towards resolving that?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
You think prayer participan you might need to bring in
a third party, like for real, though, you know, I
think that could be really helpful because you know, I mean,
certain things with a family, like trust, you know, can
be broken. Obviously, you and your sister, you say one thing,
she says another, and people are split. But I do
(17:00):
feel like, you know, you had a lot of people
backing you up. But I'm really yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Do you and your sister speak at all?
Speaker 6 (17:09):
Right?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
There's no speaking. But you know, time time, I feel
like time heels time with hell.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
Like filming the show and there's a lot going on
during the show. How was y'all able to film and
still have that real life you know, those real life issues.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Well, I mean I came, I came to work.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
I came with my my hat on my what am
I trying to say? I came with my business hat,
so I know how to leave the personal stuff behind.
So when I came to the table, it was like, Okay,
I'm just gonna just block out the personal stuff and
I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna talk to the girls,
and we're gonna do what we came to do. And
every time I showed up, I showed up and.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
I did what I was Is it ever like spill over?
Like to you know, there's a lot of times when
it's like, you know, the wife, husband, wife husband, did
it like spill over to the husband? Did you want
to put hands on her husband? And something like that?
Speaker 3 (18:03):
No, I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
She's lying.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
I mean no, you know, God is good, do it?
Speaker 6 (18:15):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
But you know what, honestly, and with Mano asking that, right,
one of the most I think devastating things was you
having to come forward about that sex tape. And yeah, yes,
and you having to come forward and actually even like
reveal that. But sometimes you got to put things out
there before someone else puts it out.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yes, I did. I had to. I did.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I had to tell But it's crazy, but you know, yeah,
I had to. I had to tell it.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Did so did that get like are we okay there?
That's never coming out? We don't have to.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Well if it come out, did somebody gonna get sued?
Right right, They're gonna get sued for the deformation of character.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
And to be clear, that was when she was in
her twenty years.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, I was younger. Then you think that that really?
Speaker 5 (19:01):
Like, I mean, we live in a time where it's
like we see sex saves all the time.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Nobody, nobody, especially my keys. I still have a challenge
in there.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
You a guy, it's very different.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
You're a guy.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
Yeah, you probably do guy.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
I would tell my husband get mad when I tell
you this. When we first started dating or whatever, he
had left me in his apartment. He had to go
out of town. So I was like, okay, and I
was looking through the closets and I saw a whole
bunch of tapes and I was like, why he got
those on the back of the shelf.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So I took him out and I played them. It
was him and I don't know how many girls.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I just stopped counting. It was like girl after girl watched.
I watched all the tapes and I sat there and
I was.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
Like, she watched all.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I couldn't watch that.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I watched it.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
I wanted to see who I was dating to me too.
We never he didn't want to do a tape with me.
After that, I was like, his death is crazy, but
he was like happened in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
No, because I sa one of.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
His one of his boys was on the tape. I
saw he had tapes. I guess his boys didn't want
to take back with them. They had tapes there.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
I watched all those.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
Two so no, you didn't. Yeah, I washed it, but
one from Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
So okay, Well, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
The funny thing about it.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
When he came home I talked about it, He's like, yeah,
you know, you know I did that back in my past.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Like, no, this the same shirt you got on his shirt?
Still got his shirt. So so we were walking down
the street.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
No lie, one of the girls on the tape walked
past us and a like she did not know him.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And I looked at him.
Speaker 7 (20:30):
I said, how do you remember what she looked at that?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Oh baby, you remember, I said, isn't it one of
the chicks? He was like yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I was like, how she gonna like she don't know you.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You may be a little psychotac.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Because it would have been different walk them in the
middle and had different energy.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You wouldn't have liked that.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yeah, you're right, So I'm glad. Yeah it was it
was best.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But did that affect your relationship because that happened before me.
