like it was this one time I remember I went
on the tour.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I was on tour in Europe.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
I came back, had to sleep in my car because
I ain't making no money off the tour because it
was my own tour and the shows did good and stuff,
but I just wasn't at the point where I was profiting,
so I was doing it just to like see my fans.
And I literally got off tour Europe, you know, a
couple hundred fans at each show as an independent artist,
smaller artist, and then coming home and having a sleep
(02:52):
in my car for two months.
Speaker 2 (02:53):

Yeah, And that was in like twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
It's very sobering, right.
Speaker 1 (03:00):

like they don't even even if they want to help,
they can't.
Speaker 2 (04:18):

survival on their own.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
