Speaker 1 (00:03):
What's up?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It is way up with Angela yee, and look who's
here in the building, Nelly in a shanty show. Y'all
belonged together for real, just even sitting here having this
conversation with you guys. New show is on Peacock and
this is something that people never thought that a shanty
would do.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You said you wouldn't do reality.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
He's definitely said I would never do it.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
So what happened?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Tell me how this even was like a conversation that
you gave into I.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Mean, he thought it was a great idea. He explained
it very well. Obviously I had my reservations. I'm a
little more private when it comes to these kind of things.
And he had already done this before. And when he
explained it and put like the business spinning perspective on it,
I was just like, Okay, we're married. I gotta be
a team player with a team, you know what I mean.
(00:52):
So I'm like, okay, I'm down, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And I thought, Nellie, I actually watched your show before
every single episode.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I thought it was very well done.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Oh thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It feels like you're a vet when it comes to this,
you know, I.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Think part of the reason why the skepticism is why
I did not continue with the first show, because you know,
it does get to a moment where I think outside
and people with input want to they only care about
the show. They don't care about the people that's in
the show, you know. And with that being said, they
want certain numbers and they know how to get to
(01:25):
those numbers super fast. So instead of so instead of
understanding that you're dealing with people in real life, because
that's what people say, yo.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
You know, reality shows can break can can break up
a family.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Well, yeah, if you're literally letting somebody else break your
family up because you're it's not the show that's breaking
people up, it's the people who are running the show
that are breaking the people up because you're going for ratings, you.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You feel like that happen because you had some real
life emotional things on that show, you know, just seeing
you raising.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Yeah, but I think that's the good thing, and I
want to hope this isn't the best. But if you
look at like the Cosby Show, how inspirational that was
When you were watching it at a time early eighties,
a lot was going on. You had crack epidemic. It
was it was huge, and then you had this family
ally from New York that had these people that were
(02:19):
giving you such inspiration, and then you had a different world.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
It made me want to go to college.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
So even if everything on the outside wasn't looking as
beautiful as you wanted, you still had something to gravitate
to to say, Yo, this is inspiring, this isn't. I mean,
who wants to just watch negativity all of the time?
If you got shit going on in your real life,
you want to be able to look to something else
and see something that could potentially be better inspire you to
(02:46):
be better, and that's what you hope for, you know
what I mean, Because self accountability is the first accountability,
and I think we're losing that. I think we're always
looking for heroes in the villains.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You know, those are the ways they get the most play,
Those are the posts that get the most views and comments,
and people will complain about it, but it's like y'all
not paying attention to the positive contents out there.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's there, Yeah, it's out there.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm distracted because I feel like those are the airrings
you gave a shanty on the show.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I let them pressure.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I love her. No, they ain't got that big you
know about She don't need about it to your anniversary
for that?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Well, so.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Ring.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You know sometimes guys don't wear a ring. Was that
a conversation?
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Well, she'll ask your hand looks, but she got she
got me such an adult. It's really hard sometimes because
you know, men are careless, careless.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
We're bringing our hands up against a lot of things.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Things, and you know, I don't want to knock knock
anything off the out of the thing.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
But no, I definitely keep it with me. Man.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, listen, I produce his laugh because he left his
ring at home the other day. He just got married.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Oh my god, was.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Letting him have it because we're not used to We're
not used to wearing it.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
You're not used to wearing it. And we do ship.
We hoop. We knew it. See women, y'all don't play
a lot of randomly hooping with your ring.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Well, I take it off, but I bet we don't hoop.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But what I love about watching the show too is
a shanty just seeing you back at work and seeing
your mom in your corner. There's such a balance of
being like, all right, I know you want to do this.
You want to get back to your first show. You know,
the Motown Christmas Special that we had a chance to
to see, but the behind the scenes that people don't know.
You know, you got up there saying your heart out
(05:05):
looked amazing, but we don't know what it took, girl
for you to get there.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And I think, are you happy you didn't?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now that people get a chance to see all the
work that goes into Ashanti.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I mean, it was a positive outcome.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'll say that it took a lot, even some stuff
that didn't necessarily make it, but just mentally where I
was leaving and then anxiety and when you're having this anxiety,
you can't pump, and then is it you know what
I mean. Like, So it was really a lot, but
it's relatable and I think that is what's really important
(05:41):
for this show, and that's what we're trying to kind
of convey, you know, like we are real people. We're
living organically, authentically, and I know so many women struggle
with do.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
I leave, should I stay? Should I you know what
I mean? So it's a hard decision.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So ultimately, yes, I will say I'm glad that we
made it happen, you know what I mean. And yeah,
it's just about being inspirational and and finding that positive ending.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You look good, no makeup, onto.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well thank you?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I mean I know how you know.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I know it's tired sometimes and you'd be like Halo,
but you look really good, like getting ready, not your
face amazing girl, because sometimes with the cameras, you'd be like,
I'm not even in the movie.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Just shoot it. I ain't putting on nothing, you know
what I mean. Sometimes it's just like I'm not in
the movies. No makeup. We're going to get it done.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Not ea' other married. What's different?
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Mmm?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I don't know. I yell at me a lot more.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I can't even thank you and thank you.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Has probably sounds like a song.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It's just like they credit, Y'll stick together.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
K is growing up in New York, uh I mean
right now?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah, okay, until he got to go outside, because we
want to.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Make sure he got his old street smarts too, exactly.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
York boys belong what I'm saying, boys belong I side.
When they're growing up, they belong outside.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I don't agree with all that diagnosed and just got
the kid got a d D. And they want to
calm little boys down. I hate that, like little boy energy.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
You got to you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Like if you if you have a young son that's
like a toddler and he's not tired, you need to
be outside.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
You never be outside and to come in. I promise
you go in New York.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I think it's outside nutrition. I do think it's if.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
He was outside of New York, she'd be out the
window that I can hear his friends.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Not.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's funny because I think for you, Ashanti, as a
new mom and even leaving the baby, leaving KK with
Nelly is also nerve wracking too.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
But it's hard for you. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It is that you know, I can't even imagine what
that anxiety is life like that.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Amount of no one can prepare you for that amount
of love that you feel once you have your child. Right,
Like I'm a writer, it's hard. I can't put into
words how I feel about my son. Like it's an
overwhelmingly huge feeling of selflessness and protective, you know what
I mean, Like Mama Bear, you know you just want
everything to be okay and everything to be perfect, so it.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Is and correct that she's not right now. She don't
leave them with me ever to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Too.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
She'll trust me, Like I mean, I've only got five, four, six,
eight kids.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
It's life. I've never lost the child.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Kids are grown. Your kids are grown.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
You've never lost a child.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Stop it. You dropped them, everybody, don't drop the baby.
At some point the baby fill I felt at some point.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
You want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Now, listen, we gotta y'all have been revisiting and revisiting
that hug.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh God versus I was.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I had to go back and see who was like
because you did do a little extra back rub. I
did see it inside the with the.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Same rub that you give in church the church back
in church.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Rub somebody back like that the church one is.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That was no that found it was.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Wet.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
I gotta give him something. I was worry for a minute.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
That's it. It wasn't like you know, it wasn't like
a but you wouldn't have made that move first.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
He had to come over to you.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Oh yeah, I never would have made the move first.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
No, that's understandable. That's understandable. It's just like the first
time the first, I made the move. I have no
problem with making the move, you know what I'm saying.
But I wanted to calm everything down, and you see
what I'm saying. I didn't want no tension in the building.
We were there to celebrate these these two brothers of
ours and beautiful music and the history that they made,
(10:30):
and I just wanted it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Was going to be there.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Yeah yeah, how could she not be there?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
She was going to be there. She did not know.
You didn't know he was going to be there, right,
I told you I was gonna beat him up.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
She knew I was gonna it was It was absolutely not,
I said after I said, Joe, call me and tell me.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
So.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
She didn't know at all.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Why would you be mad if you saw me then,
if you didn't want me to.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Be there and you and the heads up, you wouldn't
for what so that she could be like seen each
other in what was six years?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
That could have blank stirred me, That could have okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thank.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You staring you who did you go there with?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
She don't matter, It don't matter. It wasn't It wasn't
anybody that I was in a relationship with. You know,
what I'm saying, we was hanging out.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I do feel that's a little crazy though you knew
she was gonna be there.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
We was hanging out. Yeah, nothing, no, but still she
was in a relationship.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh okay, now how did you break that off?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
I don't think that had anything to do.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It was no.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I mean in general, like writing, it was just time course,
so I had nothing to do with It was just
because being in a relationship and then that hug happens
and then you see the little BackRub.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'd be like, oh my god, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I said that was the church back And I feel
like your mom was like.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
What in the beginning?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, my major was definitely not really on board, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
It was a lot of hurt that went into it.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
But you know, at the end of the day, regardless,
my mom is a true support system, you know what
I mean, And whatever the decision is, you know, she's
going to support and that's what I appreciate.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So, Yeah, I remember interviewing Nelly back then, and you know,
we always blame the man always, always, and he.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Was like, how you know it was me it was
and that was his thing. He stands by that, but you.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Know what I feel because I mean, we in this business,
we all got a little arrogance about ourselves right about
who we are.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
That mean, that's what works in the business. It's a
small bit of artistic narcissism.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
You shit what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
But you can still have you can still be humble,
still be gracious, and still have manners. I still, yes, sir,
and no man period to this day. And some people
you know, if you know me, you know I do
that to no.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Matter who it is.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I get ma'am to death.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But when you're put in.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
That situation and you've been through a lot like me
and her have, sometimes they do in the and they'd
be like what you do to that girl?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
But you mean what she do to me? You know
what I mean? Like be like that? Just know I
said that in a deeper voice. Don't I said, what
about me? You know?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Don't you feel like even though this was serendipitous, because
it would feel like you were kind of like waiting.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
No, I wasn't waiting because I don't think because I
want to say, you haven't publicly, we haven't seen you
like in public.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Right that's definitely a fact.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is the only public relationship that you've had and
then and now again it's the only public relationship you had.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
No, but I mean, in hindsight, that's kind of that's
that's kind of the truth. Like it's not that I
didn't you know, have situations. It was for me it.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Wasn't worth you know, it wasn't worth going public.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Did you ever sub him, like in songs and things
like that that you wrote there to him?
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Oh absolutely.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
No, No, No, I was saying I made you created
this inspired.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Okay, so let's talk about let's go back to doing
this show. What was that like for you? For this
being shanty a new space, Like you said, for you,
you're not used to this, your mom's not used to it,
the family's not used to it. It's a whole different vibe.
What were the boundaries that you had to set up?
And you know, in retrospect looking back, how was it?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I would say, we live our real authentic lives, right,
we have careers, we're newlyweds. I'm a new parent, you know,
he's a new parent to this baby, this child, So
there's a lot already going on. So it was kind
of like we had to fit the cameras into our
our schedule, you know what I mean. Right, so just
taking that time to say, Okay, I got three shows
(15:17):
this weekend when you're trying to shoot, Okay, we have
this day, this amount of time.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Okay, bo, let's get it done, you know what I mean.
So it was kind of a lot.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Of that going on and being a new mom and
you know, one half time for the gym and you know,
figuring out what you're gonna do for this show and
you have this zoom call.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
And then it's a lot, right, you know, it's a lot,
but we made it work. You know, it all came together.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
And I feel like the most important thing is that again,
it's just who we are.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
It is authentically us.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I got to see you a little spicier than normal though,
when you was working out and the trainer was like
and you was like, well you gonna have a baby,
and then you tell me, tell me to give you
some more.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You ada, they got spicy.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I was like that, listen here, don't play.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
With me now, Nelly.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You put out a country song, country inspired song about
spinning the block. Yes, all right, so see there you
go with this man, so talk to me about you know,
the lyrics of that. Obviously we know what inspired that,
but you know, second time around, what's different because you
guys are in a whole new space.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You've had time to grow. Sometimes timing is everything.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Yeah, I think that's it, all of that. I mean
what the song kind of you know, kind of gravitates.
It speaks for itself. I mean, and we're artists, you know,
our lives is what inspires us and what we use
to create. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it's good,
sometimes it's bad. But we use that internally to hopefully
come out and be as passionate or be as creative
(16:49):
as as possible. So the new song, Spin the Block,
it is out now and all for mess check that out.
And yeah, man, I'm finishing up my second country inspired project.
I did the Heartland project, the first one, which was
really really dope, and I want to thank everybody that
supported that and supported the singles. The second one we're
working on now. Hopefully that'll be out by the end
(17:09):
of this year. But I mean, again, man, we had
to grow. We had to grow. We had to learn
a little bit more about each other, but more so
about what's worth it and what's not worth it? You know,
does the positive outweigh the negative? And that's what any
relationship that you have with anybody, does that person bring
more positivity to your life than negative? And everybody is
(17:34):
not fortunate enough to kind of be with a person
for some time. Break off, get a chance to see
what else, what else you're doing out there?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
To understand that. Yo, you know what, that wasn't as
bad as I thought it was. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
No, I mean seriously, because if you're fortunate enough to
get that, I think people will make better choices, right,
you know.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
What I mean?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
I mean?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
But but but society has planted something in your head
to be like if you do revisit a situation, you're
going backwards in life.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
You're never going backwards, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Because it's almost like learning the history of who you
are as a people, you know what I mean, Like
like we tell people all ways, learn your history so
you don't repeat it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
And learn your history. It helps you become who you are.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
But yet in certain things, we were saying, no, I
don't go backwards because it kind of.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Cripples you from moving forward.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
But no, sometimes and I'm not saying for everybody he's
not giving out.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I'm not giving out life advice.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I say that I'm definitely never going backwards.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
In answer, don't say never because I said never.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
You know who you are.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
But timing is important though, right, And yeah, it's timing.
So now that I want to ask you this to
get all in y'all's business, the first time you guys
like said okay, let's get together, what did y'all do?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
And what was that like? Back together again?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Like y'all see the first time before we even got
to this.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Yes it was eleven years, but it really wasn't being
in this business and you're in this business.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
At least some people are saying they may.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Not ever go back on me to talk because they
lived together every day every day.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
You gotta figure like when.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
We were younger and our our careers were different, we
probably spent a week out of every month together if
we were lucky.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
And if you take that, it's fifty two weeks. We
probably spend it twelve weeks out of a year together.
That's no time to really get to know each other,
so you're spending more time apart than you are together.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
So that didn't and we didn't have face time, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
So now it's just.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I said, back to the first time, y'all related.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
So now it was like she was waiting on me.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Good night was not initiated like he initiated.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
He initiated everything here trying to fly me out on Valentine's.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Valentin's Day, that is a huge statement.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
And he took me shopping.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, period, we like that.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Hold on. I ain't gonna say the number, but he
was like.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Well, you ain't my girlfriend. Yes, so you only get
this much.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
You put a limit?
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Yeah, limit one't.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
You can't get.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That's not I'm not mad at that. I felt like
if you place, you could have even you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah, I was trying to hit good night, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
But I was trying to figure out do we stay
in the same bed. You see the things that go
on in different I'm trying to how you she knows
she came with me.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I'm like trying to think one thing is a great artist,
she's even a better actress.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I knew you were going to say something crazy.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
What I'm saying this right here with my Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So he flew you out on Valentine's Day? Yes, too, shopping.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
We had an amazing time flew out to where Vegas. Okay,
So the thing is, I didn't know how I was
gonna feel.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
He didn't know.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
I don't know, you know what I mean. I do
know that when we did get to the room, it
was just like.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You know what I'm saying, Like things were just coming
when you walked in.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
No, if we keep it in a hunt. He was
at the poker table because we were in the casino
in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Were you a little nervous that she was coming like
cause it had been a while and you don't want
to mess up.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I wouldn't say nervous.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
You know, it's more excited because I think this go
round because we do spend more time together. That's why
I was making a statement that we spend more time
laughing and having a good time than we do because
I think before it got to a point to where
we're only together for a week and anything is pissing
us off. So now we done spend that week being mad,
(22:23):
and now we then separated. She didn't went her way
out and with my way. But now we're pissed, you
know what I mean? And if we don't make up
over the phone when we come back or I see it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And then when you're younger, you play a lot more games.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
One time, responding times.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
I changed my voicemail to pimp juicemail.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Because nobody all right, the poker table said, then what happened?
So she comes, you're at the poker table, and I
bet did people see? I know you're both so recognizable,
absolutely like wat.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
Yeah, so we definitely had that going.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Okay, it was a lot and security brought me over.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
There and.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
No, it wouldn't fight. This was before the fight.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, you're right,
No it wasn't you.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
It wasn't, but it was around it. It was a
fight coming around.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
It was a fight coming around that weekend.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
I know what it was, all right, but that happened
like in May.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Okay, so you go shopping and then what happens y'all
go to dinner, you go back to the ring.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Did go to dinner? Let me see what else?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Was it a passionate night or were y'all up or
night talking?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
And it's going viral. You're talking about him?
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Oh me?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I mean, yeah, she gave me your problem.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
It was definitely did I just bust down my ex?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
What I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
So then when when the thoughts the next day, like
when you wake up and you guys like, was it
like this is just a what that's the thing.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I don't think either of us knew what like what
was going to happen, you know what I mean. It
was kind of like, okay, you know what I mean,
We'll just see what happens. It's not like we were
planning something or trying to map something out. We were
talking and we were kind of just taking it, taking
it day.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Yeah, boomerang. I woke up like Eddie Murphy. She was
putting on her sneakers.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
I was like, she was like relaxing.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
That was so th.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I have my mom coordinator day with you.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Did you have to have a conversation with you know,
just to like with your mom, just to like, did
Nelly have to be like so.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Things are different.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Conversation with everybody. I have no problem. I think me
and her pops have always been been straight.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Okay, now that don't mean that he's not in his
daughter's corner always in forever. That's understood as a father,
that's understood. He never I'm not worried about. He will
not hesitate to put one in the back of my
head for his daughter if if he needs to. That
was that's never the question. But I probably wouldn't see
(25:48):
him coming. I'm gonna see mom as you're coming.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Because she coming, you know what I mean. So I
think that was a little.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
Bit easier, a little bit easier to to initiate that conversation.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
And then and then little Sis.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Okay, because that was my dog, I think, I think,
I think me and she has break up was a
little bit. It was a little bit worse than that because, yeah,
because that was my dog. That was that's that's my verse.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And she's had I know, she's really happy for her
best life. She's like an herbalist and she got her certificate.
She's doing all of her herbal holes.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yes, her and my oldest day.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Yeah, you gotta hit her for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
She made kk this little homemade butter for his skin
just to be moisturized.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
And she literally like.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
She had herbs and oils and like a hoble oil
and almonds, and she melted it in the pot and
made it and like solidified it is she's really really.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Dope at what she does.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Okay, just learning to hoba oil not jajoba.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
What did I say?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I said, no, you said it?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Okay, this is the time in my life I've been
saying it.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Right, it's it's.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Let's talk about household responsibilities because Ashanti, is this your
first time like living with somebody a man or have
you done that.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Before to this extent?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Okay, yeah, I mean you know, you have your stuff
and somebody's Yeah, but it's not like liv not like you.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Know, waking up every single day and.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Right, sorry, yes, this is now when you guys talk
about these things because you know, I always have my
wealth Wednesdays. I always talk about finances. How do y'all
vibe when it comes to that, like what our spending habits?
How did y'all have a discussion like, Okay, let's talk
about how we're going to do this.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I mean, we have our own money because you back
out my own money. He has his own money, so
you keep we do we have our separate money. We
have our stuff together, and it's like, you know, he's
already a gentleman and man, so he's already very generous,
you know what I mean. So is sometimes you'll just yeah,
you know, without anybody asking, And that's not just me,
(28:08):
just whoever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
So it's not like a stressful thing.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
With us, right.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's because I always think about that when I think about,
like one day, would I ever want to?
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Like, I think it's about building it together though, you
know what I mean. I mean, understanding where you want
to go. I mean, we're not perfect with it. How
can we be, you know what I mean? We don't
come from generational wealth, we don't come from generational structure.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
But I think the goal is to start.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
In order to start that, we got to start the
foundation because you know, if she wants to have more children,
if we decide to have more children, you want to build,
you say, you want to set that up, you want
to be able to have them.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
It's mentally you got to know how to deal with
money early.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
And I think we try we sometimes definitely in the
rap and the hip hop community and the music business,
entertainment business. A lot of times we don't learn how
to deal with money until we get it. Yeah, and
then by time you got it, it's a a little
late to be learning how to use it. You see
what I'm saying, Because you're a master is spending that
shit right, you know what I'm saying, Like, nobody can
(29:12):
mess you.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I can spend it with hammam back, you know.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
But learning even before you get it, what to do
with it, how to do it.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
And I think that's a lot of the things that.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
We want to teach young KK and just other children
in the family and preparing that.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
But I think if you have to set that up
for them.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
As well right now, I agree with that they say
when kids have bank accounts at an early age, later on,
they end up being way better with financing.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
I believe in paying kids for grades, Okay, I believe
in that structure. I believe in not paying them in
the sense of you know, them going out doing something doing,
but incentivizing.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
I definitely believe in incentivizing.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Yo, this is for this, this is for that, because
that's how the world works, you know what I'm saying, Like,
if you work hard, you achieve you you know what
I'm saying, and you reap the benefits of that and
traditional way of school college. As we can all see
now you can have three, four or five degrees and
be freaking homeless.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
And trade schools are picked up one thousand percent over
the past six seven years because.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I mean, you're always building homes, you're always building ass.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Plumb as a new millionaires.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah hell yeah, so and that comes with a trade school.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
It's almost paying people for grades because you're guaranteed to
get a job coming out of a trade school of
ten times more faster than any associate degree, a bachelor,
a master, or some shit like that. So I think
if you start that at a young age, incentivizing and
I'll match, like, if you're a kid sixteen years old
(30:47):
with a job, whatever you bring, i's.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I'll masched that. You know what else is great?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
There's a lot of apps where you can teach kids
about stocks. So if they want to get some Nikes,
you could get them the Nike stock, you know, in
the app, and it's really fun for them to learn
that in that way. And you can use like small amounts,
so it's just like pieces of stock as well.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Now you just talked about homelessness.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You had this movie No Address, and how did that
affect you? Because it is about being unhoused and it's
based on a true story, and I just think that,
first of all, it feels like for you a passion
project to be able to touch on something like that.
So talk to me about what you learn from doing
that movie.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
It's really a larger conversation, and I'm glad I was
able to be a part of the film to put
this message out there that homelessness is so real and
it really can happen to anyone at any time. You
could be doing everything right, you fall behind on one
bill and it could just trickle down.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
Into completely changing your life.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I learned that people don't choose to be homeless. You
wake up and say, hmm, I want to be homeless
and displaced.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
It can just happen.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
My character Violate, she was addicted to drugs. She was
an ex veteran and fell on hard time and found
herself living in an encampment, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
And it's it's it's so sad that in our.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Country or anywhere really, you can have millionaires living on
this block and two plocks down people can't afford food, water, electricity,
and that is mind boggling to.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
Me, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I see that when I'm in San Francisco. I remember
going there and seeing it. It's like such a rich
one of the most expensive zip codes to live in.
And then you see that on the streets there, which
is wild to me. And New York definitely is like that.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
That is depressing, heartbreaking.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
You think about all the tax money and how these
people just nowhere to go. That is that is impossible.
So she did great in the movie.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Yeah, yeah, but I didn't believe she was homeless because.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Somewhere remember where Holly Berry played the crackhead and oh
yeah yeah, hold.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
On, well listen. I appreciate you all for coming through.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I know you guys are like super busy doing this
press run. I got a chance, like I said, to
see the first episode on Peacock right now, so everybody
make sure you check it out.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
We belong together.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
New music A Shanty because I know you've been yes
talking about some new music.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Tests call you.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
Up so excited about it.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I shot the video in Bermuda, so I'm excited for
everybody to hear.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Is this the true A Shanty? R and B record, So.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
What's that about? Put it together? Because I know you
got those.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Absolutely say it was no, my number was not the same,
not the same.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
My DJ actually gave him my number.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Oh did you?
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Did?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
He ask you first?
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Know?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
And that's the onlation in super violation.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
I was like, yo, you never do that.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
And he was like, I took the risks, said her
and said, hey, it's no.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
You know what His first text was the high emoji,
the black one, the man, the brown one, fresh cut
with the fresh cut.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
I didn't want to make him the yellow guy and.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
You get back.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
I hit back and said, what brown one?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Who's this?
Speaker 8 (34:36):
We would have been?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I hit him with which Nelly nellie potato?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Is this a Canadian?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
But is it beautiful to see? I think, you know,
for a lot of people it is inspirational.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I've been looking at what everybody has to say and
how people are like, man, it's about to make me
go back.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
But it's not for everybody.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
No, no, But don't be afraid neither to at least
have a conversation. That's the thing, because again it's all
about the good out way too bad, because you can
get out. You think that this is a deal breaker,
but it may not be a deal breaker because you
could probably put up with that and I put up
with this, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
Like it weighs itself out, that's all.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Isn't it nice to not be outside too?
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Yeah? It's hot as hell out there, period, period, definitely.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Can't help it. Well, thank y'all so much.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
And you guys again, it's on Peacock now make sure
you check out Nellie and it's shanty We belong together
and we're looking at check it for some new music.
I know y'all got some new music together on the way.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Right, Oh together? I thought you right right, I mean
we're working.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, And I say you said KK is like in
music too. You could get the vibes already.
Speaker 8 (35:59):
She is so on love with music.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Like he will stop what he's doing. He has a
little keyboards. Michelle brought him a keyboard, He got a
drum set. He has all these little musical things. Yes,
like a commercial playing on TV and it's music. He'll
stop what he's doing and just stare you know what
I mean, Like you can sing to him and he'll
just look at you like he is infatuated.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
So you feel like there's gonna be a season two.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
We'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Like you said again, coming from that, you know that
business side of it and everything like that. I think
you know, first first season eight episodes, wanted to get acclimated. Yeah,
you know what I mean, and shout out to Peacock
and everything, because you know, we're not not to disrespect
any other outlets or platforms or anything.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
But when you get a chance to work with in.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
NBC, MH and and and a certain type of level
of of of would just say distribution, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, you definitely want to entertain those type
of ideas because you know the potential there could be endless,
you know. And yeah, they believe in what it is
(37:11):
that we're talking about. So when we believe that, they
got our best interest in back at heart right now,
so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Well, get that money with your many lady. Yeah, I
do feel a little deserted because when people like Angela
you don't have no kids, you're not married, and now
look at I was like, now there's a shady and
now you are.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Know that was annoying.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
That's why I actually was like happy when all this happened,
and then you popped up pregnant out of nowhere and
you know where, Nellie, and well, I said it was
y'all knew, but I just like that because I also
felt like people always was talking crazy, and so I'd
like to see that for you, to be like, when
the time is right and when your situation is right,
(37:57):
whether you do it or whether you don't, it's your
choice and your decision. So now what shut up? All right, Well,
thank you guys, appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (38:09):
Way up
What's up?
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It is way up with Angela yee, and look who's
here in the building, Nelly in a shanty show. Y'all
belonged together for real, just even sitting here having this
conversation with you guys. New show is on Peacock and
this is something that people never thought that a shanty
would do.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You said you wouldn't do reality.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
He's definitely said I would never do it.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
So what happened?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Tell me how this even was like a conversation that
you gave into I.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
Mean, he thought it was a great idea. He explained
it very well. Obviously I had my reservations. I'm a
little more private when it comes to these kind of things.
And he had already done this before. And when he
explained it and put like the business spinning perspective on it,
I was just like, Okay, we're married. I gotta be
a team player with a team, you know what I mean.
(00:52):
So I'm like, okay, I'm down, let's do it.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And I thought, Nellie, I actually watched your show before
every single episode.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I thought it was very well done.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Oh thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It feels like you're a vet when it comes to this,
you know, I.
Speaker 6 (01:03):
Think part of the reason why the skepticism is why
I did not continue with the first show, because you know,
it does get to a moment where I think outside
and people with input want to they only care about
the show. They don't care about the people that's in
the show, you know. And with that being said, they
want certain numbers and they know how to get to
(01:25):
those numbers super fast. So instead of so instead of
understanding that you're dealing with people in real life, because
that's what people say, yo.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
You know, reality shows can break can can break up
a family.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Well, yeah, if you're literally letting somebody else break your
family up because you're it's not the show that's breaking
people up, it's the people who are running the show
that are breaking the people up because you're going for ratings, you.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
You feel like that happen because you had some real
life emotional things on that show, you know, just seeing
you raising.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
Yeah, but I think that's the good thing, and I
want to hope this isn't the best. But if you
look at like the Cosby Show, how inspirational that was
When you were watching it at a time early eighties,
a lot was going on. You had crack epidemic. It
was it was huge, and then you had this family
ally from New York that had these people that were
(02:19):
giving you such inspiration, and then you had a different world.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
It made me want to go to college.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
So even if everything on the outside wasn't looking as
beautiful as you wanted, you still had something to gravitate
to to say, Yo, this is inspiring, this isn't. I mean,
who wants to just watch negativity all of the time?
If you got shit going on in your real life,
you want to be able to look to something else
and see something that could potentially be better inspire you to
(02:46):
be better, and that's what you hope for, you know
what I mean, Because self accountability is the first accountability,
and I think we're losing that. I think we're always
looking for heroes in the villains.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You know, those are the ways they get the most play,
Those are the posts that get the most views and comments,
and people will complain about it, but it's like y'all
not paying attention to the positive contents out there.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's there, Yeah, it's out there.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I'm distracted because I feel like those are the airrings
you gave a shanty on the show.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I let them pressure.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
I love her. No, they ain't got that big you
know about She don't need about it to your anniversary
for that?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
Well, so.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Ring.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You know sometimes guys don't wear a ring. Was that
a conversation?
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Well, she'll ask your hand looks, but she got she
got me such an adult. It's really hard sometimes because
you know, men are careless, careless.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
We're bringing our hands up against a lot of things.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
Things, and you know, I don't want to knock knock
anything off the out of the thing.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
But no, I definitely keep it with me. Man.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, listen, I produce his laugh because he left his
ring at home the other day. He just got married.
Speaker 8 (04:11):
Oh my god, was.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Letting him have it because we're not used to We're
not used to wearing it.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
You're not used to wearing it. And we do ship.
We hoop. We knew it. See women, y'all don't play
a lot of randomly hooping with your ring.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Well, I take it off, but I bet we don't hoop.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
But what I love about watching the show too is
a shanty just seeing you back at work and seeing
your mom in your corner. There's such a balance of
being like, all right, I know you want to do this.
You want to get back to your first show. You know,
the Motown Christmas Special that we had a chance to
to see, but the behind the scenes that people don't know.
You know, you got up there saying your heart out
(05:05):
looked amazing, but we don't know what it took, girl
for you to get there.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
And I think, are you happy you didn't?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now that people get a chance to see all the
work that goes into Ashanti.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I mean, it was a positive outcome.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
I'll say that it took a lot, even some stuff
that didn't necessarily make it, but just mentally where I
was leaving and then anxiety and when you're having this anxiety,
you can't pump, and then is it you know what
I mean. Like, So it was really a lot, but
it's relatable and I think that is what's really important
(05:41):
for this show, and that's what we're trying to kind
of convey, you know, like we are real people. We're
living organically, authentically, and I know so many women struggle
with do.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
I leave, should I stay? Should I you know what
I mean? So it's a hard decision.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So ultimately, yes, I will say I'm glad that we
made it happen, you know what I mean. And yeah,
it's just about being inspirational and and finding that positive ending.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You look good, no makeup, onto.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well thank you?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I mean I know how you know.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I know it's tired sometimes and you'd be like Halo,
but you look really good, like getting ready, not your
face amazing girl, because sometimes with the cameras, you'd be like,
I'm not even in the movie.
Speaker 8 (06:20):
Just shoot it. I ain't putting on nothing, you know
what I mean. Sometimes it's just like I'm not in
the movies. No makeup. We're going to get it done.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Not ea' other married. What's different?
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Mmm?
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I don't know. I yell at me a lot more.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
I can't even thank you and thank you.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Has probably sounds like a song.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
It's just like they credit, Y'll stick together.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
K is growing up in New York, uh I mean
right now?
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Yeah, okay, until he got to go outside, because we
want to.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Make sure he got his old street smarts too, exactly.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
York boys belong what I'm saying, boys belong I side.
When they're growing up, they belong outside.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
I don't agree with all that diagnosed and just got
the kid got a d D. And they want to
calm little boys down. I hate that, like little boy energy.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
You got to you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
Like if you if you have a young son that's
like a toddler and he's not tired, you need to
be outside.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
You never be outside and to come in. I promise
you go in New York.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I think it's outside nutrition. I do think it's if.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
He was outside of New York, she'd be out the
window that I can hear his friends.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
Not.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's funny because I think for you, Ashanti, as a
new mom and even leaving the baby, leaving KK with
Nelly is also nerve wracking too.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
But it's hard for you. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It is that you know, I can't even imagine what
that anxiety is life like that.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Amount of no one can prepare you for that amount
of love that you feel once you have your child. Right,
Like I'm a writer, it's hard. I can't put into
words how I feel about my son. Like it's an
overwhelmingly huge feeling of selflessness and protective, you know what
I mean, Like Mama Bear, you know you just want
everything to be okay and everything to be perfect, so it.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
Is and correct that she's not right now. She don't
leave them with me ever to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Too.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
She'll trust me, Like I mean, I've only got five, four, six,
eight kids.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
It's life. I've never lost the child.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Kids are grown. Your kids are grown.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
You've never lost a child.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Stop it. You dropped them, everybody, don't drop the baby.
At some point the baby fill I felt at some point.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
You want to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Now, listen, we gotta y'all have been revisiting and revisiting
that hug.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Oh God versus I was.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I had to go back and see who was like
because you did do a little extra back rub. I
did see it inside the with the.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Same rub that you give in church the church back
in church.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Rub somebody back like that the church one is.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
That was no that found it was.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
Wet.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
I gotta give him something. I was worry for a minute.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
That's it. It wasn't like you know, it wasn't like
a but you wouldn't have made that move first.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
He had to come over to you.
Speaker 8 (10:07):
Oh yeah, I never would have made the move first.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
No, that's understandable. That's understandable. It's just like the first
time the first, I made the move. I have no
problem with making the move, you know what I'm saying.
But I wanted to calm everything down, and you see
what I'm saying. I didn't want no tension in the building.
We were there to celebrate these these two brothers of
ours and beautiful music and the history that they made,
(10:30):
and I just wanted it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Was going to be there.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Yeah yeah, how could she not be there?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
She was going to be there. She did not know.
You didn't know he was going to be there, right,
I told you I was gonna beat him up.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
She knew I was gonna it was It was absolutely not,
I said after I said, Joe, call me and tell me.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
So.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
She didn't know at all.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Why would you be mad if you saw me then,
if you didn't want me to.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Be there and you and the heads up, you wouldn't
for what so that she could be like seen each
other in what was six years?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
That could have blank stirred me, That could have okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, thank.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
You staring you who did you go there with?
Speaker 5 (11:23):
She don't matter, It don't matter. It wasn't It wasn't
anybody that I was in a relationship with. You know,
what I'm saying, we was hanging out.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I do feel that's a little crazy though you knew
she was gonna be there.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
We was hanging out. Yeah, nothing, no, but still she
was in a relationship.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh okay, now how did you break that off?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
I don't think that had anything to do.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It was no.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I mean in general, like writing, it was just time course,
so I had nothing to do with It was just
because being in a relationship and then that hug happens
and then you see the little BackRub.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'd be like, oh my god, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I said that was the church back And I feel
like your mom was like.
Speaker 8 (12:13):
What in the beginning?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, my major was definitely not really on board, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
It was a lot of hurt that went into it.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
But you know, at the end of the day, regardless,
my mom is a true support system, you know what
I mean, And whatever the decision is, you know, she's
going to support and that's what I appreciate.
Speaker 5 (12:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
So, Yeah, I remember interviewing Nelly back then, and you know,
we always blame the man always, always, and he.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Was like, how you know it was me it was
and that was his thing. He stands by that, but you.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Know what I feel because I mean, we in this business,
we all got a little arrogance about ourselves right about
who we are.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
That mean, that's what works in the business. It's a
small bit of artistic narcissism.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
You shit what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
But you can still have you can still be humble,
still be gracious, and still have manners. I still, yes, sir,
and no man period to this day. And some people
you know, if you know me, you know I do
that to no.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Matter who it is.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I get ma'am to death.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
But when you're put in.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
That situation and you've been through a lot like me
and her have, sometimes they do in the and they'd
be like what you do to that girl?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
But you mean what she do to me? You know
what I mean? Like be like that? Just know I
said that in a deeper voice. Don't I said, what
about me? You know?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Don't you feel like even though this was serendipitous, because
it would feel like you were kind of like waiting.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
No, I wasn't waiting because I don't think because I
want to say, you haven't publicly, we haven't seen you
like in public.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Right that's definitely a fact.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
This is the only public relationship that you've had and
then and now again it's the only public relationship you had.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
No, but I mean, in hindsight, that's kind of that's
that's kind of the truth. Like it's not that I
didn't you know, have situations. It was for me it.
Speaker 8 (14:18):
Wasn't worth you know, it wasn't worth going public.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Did you ever sub him, like in songs and things
like that that you wrote there to him?
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Oh absolutely.
Speaker 5 (14:30):
No, No, No, I was saying I made you created
this inspired.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Okay, so let's talk about let's go back to doing
this show. What was that like for you? For this
being shanty a new space, Like you said, for you,
you're not used to this, your mom's not used to it,
the family's not used to it. It's a whole different vibe.
What were the boundaries that you had to set up?
And you know, in retrospect looking back, how was it?
Speaker 4 (14:57):
I would say, we live our real authentic lives, right,
we have careers, we're newlyweds. I'm a new parent, you know,
he's a new parent to this baby, this child, So
there's a lot already going on. So it was kind
of like we had to fit the cameras into our
our schedule, you know what I mean. Right, so just
taking that time to say, Okay, I got three shows
(15:17):
this weekend when you're trying to shoot, Okay, we have
this day, this amount of time.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Okay, bo, let's get it done, you know what I mean.
So it was kind of a lot.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Of that going on and being a new mom and
you know, one half time for the gym and you know,
figuring out what you're gonna do for this show and
you have this zoom call.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
And then it's a lot, right, you know, it's a lot,
but we made it work. You know, it all came together.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
And I feel like the most important thing is that again,
it's just who we are.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
It is authentically us.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I got to see you a little spicier than normal though,
when you was working out and the trainer was like
and you was like, well you gonna have a baby,
and then you tell me, tell me to give you
some more.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
You ada, they got spicy.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I was like that, listen here, don't play.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
With me now, Nelly.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
You put out a country song, country inspired song about
spinning the block. Yes, all right, so see there you
go with this man, so talk to me about you know,
the lyrics of that. Obviously we know what inspired that,
but you know, second time around, what's different because you
guys are in a whole new space.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You've had time to grow. Sometimes timing is everything.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Yeah, I think that's it, all of that. I mean
what the song kind of you know, kind of gravitates.
It speaks for itself. I mean, and we're artists, you know,
our lives is what inspires us and what we use
to create. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it's good,
sometimes it's bad. But we use that internally to hopefully
come out and be as passionate or be as creative
(16:49):
as as possible. So the new song, Spin the Block,
it is out now and all for mess check that out.
And yeah, man, I'm finishing up my second country inspired project.
I did the Heartland project, the first one, which was
really really dope, and I want to thank everybody that
supported that and supported the singles. The second one we're
working on now. Hopefully that'll be out by the end
(17:09):
of this year. But I mean, again, man, we had
to grow. We had to grow. We had to learn
a little bit more about each other, but more so
about what's worth it and what's not worth it? You know,
does the positive outweigh the negative? And that's what any
relationship that you have with anybody, does that person bring
more positivity to your life than negative? And everybody is
(17:34):
not fortunate enough to kind of be with a person
for some time. Break off, get a chance to see
what else, what else you're doing out there?
Speaker 5 (17:43):
To understand that. Yo, you know what, that wasn't as
bad as I thought it was. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
No, I mean seriously, because if you're fortunate enough to
get that, I think people will make better choices, right,
you know.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
What I mean?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
I mean?
Speaker 6 (17:59):
But but but society has planted something in your head
to be like if you do revisit a situation, you're
going backwards in life.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
You're never going backwards, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
Because it's almost like learning the history of who you
are as a people, you know what I mean, Like
like we tell people all ways, learn your history so
you don't repeat it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (18:22):
And learn your history. It helps you become who you are.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
But yet in certain things, we were saying, no, I
don't go backwards because it kind of.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Cripples you from moving forward.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
But no, sometimes and I'm not saying for everybody he's
not giving out.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I'm not giving out life advice.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I say that I'm definitely never going backwards.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
In answer, don't say never because I said never.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
You know who you are.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
But timing is important though, right, And yeah, it's timing.
So now that I want to ask you this to
get all in y'all's business, the first time you guys
like said okay, let's get together, what did y'all do?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
And what was that like? Back together again?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Like y'all see the first time before we even got
to this.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
Yes it was eleven years, but it really wasn't being
in this business and you're in this business.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
At least some people are saying they may.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Not ever go back on me to talk because they
lived together every day every day.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
You gotta figure like when.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
We were younger and our our careers were different, we
probably spent a week out of every month together if
we were lucky.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
And if you take that, it's fifty two weeks. We
probably spend it twelve weeks out of a year together.
That's no time to really get to know each other,
so you're spending more time apart than you are together.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
So that didn't and we didn't have face time, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
So now it's just.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I said, back to the first time, y'all related.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
So now it was like she was waiting on me.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Good night was not initiated like he initiated.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
He initiated everything here trying to fly me out on Valentine's.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Valentin's Day, that is a huge statement.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
And he took me shopping.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Okay, period, we like that.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Hold on. I ain't gonna say the number, but he
was like.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Well, you ain't my girlfriend. Yes, so you only get
this much.
Speaker 5 (20:36):
You put a limit?
Speaker 8 (20:38):
Yeah, limit one't.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
You can't get.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That's not I'm not mad at that. I felt like
if you place, you could have even you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Yeah, I was trying to hit good night, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
But I was trying to figure out do we stay
in the same bed. You see the things that go
on in different I'm trying to how you she knows
she came with me.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
I'm like trying to think one thing is a great artist,
she's even a better actress.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I knew you were going to say something crazy.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
What I'm saying this right here with my Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So he flew you out on Valentine's Day? Yes, too, shopping.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
We had an amazing time flew out to where Vegas. Okay,
So the thing is, I didn't know how I was
gonna feel.
Speaker 8 (21:25):
He didn't know.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
I don't know, you know what I mean. I do
know that when we did get to the room, it
was just like.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
You know what I'm saying, Like things were just coming
when you walked in.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
No, if we keep it in a hunt. He was
at the poker table because we were in the casino
in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Were you a little nervous that she was coming like
cause it had been a while and you don't want
to mess up.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
I wouldn't say nervous.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
You know, it's more excited because I think this go
round because we do spend more time together. That's why
I was making a statement that we spend more time
laughing and having a good time than we do because
I think before it got to a point to where
we're only together for a week and anything is pissing
us off. So now we done spend that week being mad,
(22:23):
and now we then separated. She didn't went her way
out and with my way. But now we're pissed, you
know what I mean? And if we don't make up
over the phone when we come back or I see it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And then when you're younger, you play a lot more games.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
One time, responding times.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
I changed my voicemail to pimp juicemail.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Because nobody all right, the poker table said, then what happened?
So she comes, you're at the poker table, and I
bet did people see? I know you're both so recognizable,
absolutely like wat.
Speaker 8 (23:11):
Yeah, so we definitely had that going.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Okay, it was a lot and security brought me over.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
There and.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
No, it wouldn't fight. This was before the fight.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no, no, you're right,
No it wasn't you.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
It wasn't, but it was around it. It was a
fight coming around.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
It was a fight coming around that weekend.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
I know what it was, all right, but that happened
like in May.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Okay, so you go shopping and then what happens y'all
go to dinner, you go back to the ring.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
Did go to dinner? Let me see what else?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Was it a passionate night or were y'all up or
night talking?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I was trying to.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
And it's going viral. You're talking about him?
Speaker 8 (24:00):
Oh me?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I mean, yeah, she gave me your problem.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
It was definitely did I just bust down my ex?
Speaker 7 (24:17):
What I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (24:18):
So then when when the thoughts the next day, like
when you wake up and you guys like, was it
like this is just a what that's the thing.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I don't think either of us knew what like what
was going to happen, you know what I mean. It
was kind of like, okay, you know what I mean,
We'll just see what happens. It's not like we were
planning something or trying to map something out. We were
talking and we were kind of just taking it, taking
it day.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Yeah, boomerang. I woke up like Eddie Murphy. She was
putting on her sneakers.
Speaker 7 (24:48):
I was like, she was like relaxing.
Speaker 8 (24:59):
That was so th.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
I have my mom coordinator day with you.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Did you have to have a conversation with you know,
just to like with your mom, just to like, did
Nelly have to be like so.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Things are different.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
Conversation with everybody. I have no problem. I think me
and her pops have always been been straight.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
Okay, now that don't mean that he's not in his
daughter's corner always in forever. That's understood as a father,
that's understood. He never I'm not worried about. He will
not hesitate to put one in the back of my
head for his daughter if if he needs to. That
was that's never the question. But I probably wouldn't see
(25:48):
him coming. I'm gonna see mom as you're coming.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Because she coming, you know what I mean. So I
think that was a little.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
Bit easier, a little bit easier to to initiate that conversation.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
And then and then little Sis.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
Okay, because that was my dog, I think, I think,
I think me and she has break up was a
little bit. It was a little bit worse than that because, yeah,
because that was my dog. That was that's that's my verse.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And she's had I know, she's really happy for her
best life. She's like an herbalist and she got her certificate.
She's doing all of her herbal holes.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yes, her and my oldest day.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Yeah, you gotta hit her for sure.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
She made kk this little homemade butter for his skin
just to be moisturized.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
And she literally like.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
She had herbs and oils and like a hoble oil
and almonds, and she melted it in the pot and
made it and like solidified it is she's really really.
Speaker 8 (26:50):
Dope at what she does.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Okay, just learning to hoba oil not jajoba.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
What did I say?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I said, no, you said it?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Okay, this is the time in my life I've been
saying it.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Right, it's it's.
Speaker 7 (27:10):
Now.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Let's talk about household responsibilities because Ashanti, is this your
first time like living with somebody a man or have
you done that.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Before to this extent?
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Okay, yeah, I mean you know, you have your stuff
and somebody's Yeah, but it's not like liv not like you.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Know, waking up every single day and.
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Right, sorry, yes, this is now when you guys talk
about these things because you know, I always have my
wealth Wednesdays. I always talk about finances. How do y'all
vibe when it comes to that, like what our spending habits?
How did y'all have a discussion like, Okay, let's talk
about how we're going to do this.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I mean, we have our own money because you back
out my own money. He has his own money, so
you keep we do we have our separate money. We
have our stuff together, and it's like, you know, he's
already a gentleman and man, so he's already very generous,
you know what I mean. So is sometimes you'll just yeah,
you know, without anybody asking, And that's not just me,
(28:08):
just whoever, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
So it's not like a stressful thing.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
With us, right.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
That's because I always think about that when I think about,
like one day, would I ever want to?
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Like, I think it's about building it together though, you
know what I mean. I mean, understanding where you want
to go. I mean, we're not perfect with it. How
can we be, you know what I mean? We don't
come from generational wealth, we don't come from generational structure.
Speaker 5 (28:30):
But I think the goal is to start.
Speaker 6 (28:32):
In order to start that, we got to start the
foundation because you know, if she wants to have more children,
if we decide to have more children, you want to build,
you say, you want to set that up, you want
to be able to have them.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
It's mentally you got to know how to deal with
money early.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
And I think we try we sometimes definitely in the
rap and the hip hop community and the music business,
entertainment business. A lot of times we don't learn how
to deal with money until we get it. Yeah, and
then by time you got it, it's a a little
late to be learning how to use it. You see
what I'm saying, Because you're a master is spending that
shit right, you know what I'm saying, Like, nobody can
(29:12):
mess you.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I can spend it with hammam back, you know.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
But learning even before you get it, what to do
with it, how to do it.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
And I think that's a lot of the things that.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
We want to teach young KK and just other children
in the family and preparing that.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
But I think if you have to set that up
for them.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
As well right now, I agree with that they say
when kids have bank accounts at an early age, later on,
they end up being way better with financing.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
I believe in paying kids for grades, Okay, I believe
in that structure. I believe in not paying them in
the sense of you know, them going out doing something doing,
but incentivizing.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
I definitely believe in incentivizing.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Yo, this is for this, this is for that, because
that's how the world works, you know what I'm saying, Like,
if you work hard, you achieve you you know what
I'm saying, and you reap the benefits of that and
traditional way of school college. As we can all see
now you can have three, four or five degrees and
be freaking homeless.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
And trade schools are picked up one thousand percent over
the past six seven years because.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
I mean, you're always building homes, you're always building ass.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Plumb as a new millionaires.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
Yeah hell yeah, so and that comes with a trade school.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
It's almost paying people for grades because you're guaranteed to
get a job coming out of a trade school of
ten times more faster than any associate degree, a bachelor,
a master, or some shit like that. So I think
if you start that at a young age, incentivizing and
I'll match, like, if you're a kid sixteen years old
(30:47):
with a job, whatever you bring, i's.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I'll masched that. You know what else is great?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
There's a lot of apps where you can teach kids
about stocks. So if they want to get some Nikes,
you could get them the Nike stock, you know, in
the app, and it's really fun for them to learn
that in that way. And you can use like small amounts,
so it's just like pieces of stock as well.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Now you just talked about homelessness.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You had this movie No Address, and how did that
affect you? Because it is about being unhoused and it's
based on a true story, and I just think that,
first of all, it feels like for you a passion
project to be able to touch on something like that.
So talk to me about what you learn from doing
that movie.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
It's really a larger conversation, and I'm glad I was
able to be a part of the film to put
this message out there that homelessness is so real and
it really can happen to anyone at any time. You
could be doing everything right, you fall behind on one
bill and it could just trickle down.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
Into completely changing your life.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I learned that people don't choose to be homeless. You
wake up and say, hmm, I want to be homeless
and displaced.
Speaker 8 (31:53):
It can just happen.
Speaker 7 (31:54):
You know.
Speaker 4 (31:55):
My character Violate, she was addicted to drugs. She was
an ex veteran and fell on hard time and found
herself living in an encampment, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
And it's it's it's so sad that in our.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Country or anywhere really, you can have millionaires living on
this block and two plocks down people can't afford food, water, electricity,
and that is mind boggling to.
Speaker 8 (32:18):
Me, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I see that when I'm in San Francisco. I remember
going there and seeing it. It's like such a rich
one of the most expensive zip codes to live in.
And then you see that on the streets there, which
is wild to me. And New York definitely is like that.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
That is depressing, heartbreaking.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
You think about all the tax money and how these
people just nowhere to go. That is that is impossible.
So she did great in the movie.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Yeah, yeah, but I didn't believe she was homeless because.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Somewhere remember where Holly Berry played the crackhead and oh
yeah yeah, hold.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
On, well listen. I appreciate you all for coming through.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
I know you guys are like super busy doing this
press run. I got a chance, like I said, to
see the first episode on Peacock right now, so everybody
make sure you check it out.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
We belong together.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
New music A Shanty because I know you've been yes
talking about some new music.
Speaker 5 (33:22):
Tests call you.
Speaker 8 (33:24):
Up so excited about it.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I shot the video in Bermuda, so I'm excited for
everybody to hear.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Is this the true A Shanty? R and B record, So.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
What's that about? Put it together? Because I know you
got those.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
Absolutely say it was no, my number was not the same,
not the same.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
My DJ actually gave him my number.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Oh did you?
Speaker 5 (33:59):
Did?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
He ask you first?
Speaker 6 (34:00):
Know?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
And that's the onlation in super violation.
Speaker 8 (34:04):
I was like, yo, you never do that.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
And he was like, I took the risks, said her
and said, hey, it's no.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
You know what His first text was the high emoji,
the black one, the man, the brown one, fresh cut
with the fresh cut.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
I didn't want to make him the yellow guy and.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
You get back.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
I hit back and said, what brown one?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Who's this?
Speaker 8 (34:36):
We would have been?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I hit him with which Nelly nellie potato?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Is this a Canadian?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
But is it beautiful to see? I think, you know,
for a lot of people it is inspirational.
Speaker 7 (34:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
I've been looking at what everybody has to say and
how people are like, man, it's about to make me
go back.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
But it's not for everybody.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
No, no, But don't be afraid neither to at least
have a conversation. That's the thing, because again it's all
about the good out way too bad, because you can
get out. You think that this is a deal breaker,
but it may not be a deal breaker because you
could probably put up with that and I put up
with this, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (35:19):
Like it weighs itself out, that's all.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Isn't it nice to not be outside too?
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Yeah? It's hot as hell out there, period, period, definitely.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Can't help it. Well, thank y'all so much.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
And you guys again, it's on Peacock now make sure
you check out Nellie and it's shanty We belong together
and we're looking at check it for some new music.
I know y'all got some new music together on the way.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
Right, Oh together? I thought you right right, I mean
we're working.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah, And I say you said KK is like in
music too. You could get the vibes already.
Speaker 8 (35:59):
She is so on love with music.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Like he will stop what he's doing. He has a
little keyboards. Michelle brought him a keyboard, He got a
drum set. He has all these little musical things. Yes,
like a commercial playing on TV and it's music. He'll
stop what he's doing and just stare you know what
I mean, Like you can sing to him and he'll
just look at you like he is infatuated.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
So you feel like there's gonna be a season two.
Speaker 5 (36:26):
We'll see, we'll see.
Speaker 6 (36:27):
Like you said again, coming from that, you know that
business side of it and everything like that. I think
you know, first first season eight episodes, wanted to get acclimated. Yeah,
you know what I mean, and shout out to Peacock
and everything, because you know, we're not not to disrespect
any other outlets or platforms or anything.
Speaker 5 (36:48):
But when you get a chance to work with in.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
NBC, MH and and and a certain type of level
of of of would just say distribution, you know what
I'm saying. Yeah, you definitely want to entertain those type
of ideas because you know the potential there could be endless,
you know. And yeah, they believe in what it is
(37:11):
that we're talking about. So when we believe that, they
got our best interest in back at heart right now,
so we'll see what happens.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Well, get that money with your many lady. Yeah, I
do feel a little deserted because when people like Angela
you don't have no kids, you're not married, and now
look at I was like, now there's a shady and
now you are.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Know that was annoying.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
That's why I actually was like happy when all this happened,
and then you popped up pregnant out of nowhere and
you know where, Nellie, and well, I said it was
y'all knew, but I just like that because I also
felt like people always was talking crazy, and so I'd
like to see that for you, to be like, when
the time is right and when your situation is right,
(37:57):
whether you do it or whether you don't, it's your
choice and your decision. So now what shut up? All right, Well,
thank you guys, appreciate it.
