What is your opinion on ad libs in a song?
Ad libs like make a song like You have to have ad libs, and
good ad libs could turn any songinto like a really better song.
Now, when it comes to your own ad libs and when you implement
that into your music, do you have a strategy at all with
(00:23):
them? No, I just be saying stuff.
But sometimes I'll say like the ending words of like the line.
Sometimes I like to just say like hat cuz that's like my
thing where I'll be like deep, deep, deep, like, you know, I'll
just be saying stuff. I don't have a strategy.
Now you may have just answered the next question that was going
(00:44):
to be posed to you, which was doyou have a signature ad Lib, a
main ad Lib amongst all the ad libs that you do do?
And were those two that you justpresented your answer to this
question, unless there's some more that you do or maybe even
one more popular than that that.You no DTV is the most popular
DTV. That's it right there.
(01:05):
And how did you create that one?Because obviously you could say
diamond as an ad Lib. You could even say diamond the
body as an ad Lib. At what point do you shorten it
to those 3 letters and start implementing that and making it
its own thing? So someone actually like this
happened about 7 years ago had my number saved in their phone
as DTB and I was calling I thinkthey lost their phone or
(01:30):
something that oh call my phone.So I called it and then it came
up DT. I'm like, why you have me saved
as DTB? It was like dime in the body.
I was like, Oh my gosh, I love that.
Like, I don't know, I just, it'sso cute.
Like it's like cute like deep, deep, deep.
It's like just like a shorter way to just really say who I am
still, you know what I'm saying?Because dime in the body is
(01:50):
pretty long, like dime in the body.
Like that's a long phrase. So DTV, short, cute to the point
is what it is. But what about that cadence?
Where did that cadence come fromon how you say those 3 letters?
Deep, deep, deep. I don't know.
I have no idea. It just started.
I just started saying it. And what's been the response to
(02:12):
this ad Lib of yours? Oh, people love it.
Like they love it. Like when I'm walking through
the airport they scream DTP. When I'm at my shows, they be
like DTP. They start chanting it like they
love it. And do you recall the first song
you started implementing that adLib on?
My first EP was called DTV Disturbing These pictures, so
(02:35):
I've been had it since when I first started doing music.
Got it. Now when it comes to
collaborating with other recording artists, which you've
done, have you added your ad libs to another artist verse on
the same song? Yes, I had to start off with
DTV. So you know, when the song
start, you know I'm on this song.
But aside from just like an introduction of letting people
(02:58):
know you're on this verse, have you ever sprinkled your ad libs
through another artist verse more specifically?
Oh no, not like another artist verse.
I usually do only the ad libs onmy verse.
What is your opinion of that? Because there are some that do
that they not only will they ad Lib their own song, they may
provide the ad libs for another features on that same songs AD
(03:19):
libs as well. I'm creative, you know, mix the
two because it is a feature and,you know, both artists are on
there together. So yeah, sometimes put a little
extra splash on what the other artist is saying.
Haven't done that yet yourself, but it sounds like something you
would be open to. Absolutely, yeah.
And what about this? Something similar here, slightly
(03:41):
different? What is your opinion or your
thoughts on this? Songs with another artist's ad
libs but no hook reverse from them on that song.
It's just their ad libs sprinkled throughout the song.
I've actually had somebody do that for me, like on AI had I've
had somebody do that for me. I haven't done that for somebody
(04:02):
yet. But I mean, it's kind of like
when people host mixtapes and stuff and they like DJ Drama or
you know, so I, I hear it. I think it's really clever.
Especially if it's someone or DJKhaled, he does that basically
like DJ Khaled. Yeah, I think it's cool.
Absolutely. I would love to do that.
(04:23):
I haven't, but I would love to. Now, this instance where you've
had someone provide their ad libs on a song of yours, is that
a song that's publicly availablecurrently?
Is that a song that's seen the light of day?
Yeah, it's out. It was from my EP called Hold
Ofation. And do you recall the name of
the song or what track number that was?
Or I. Believe that it's because the
(04:45):
the EP was it was like a remake of all Jeezy songs.
So I had I had them do the jeezyad libs like the year like you
know, but it's all throughout the whole EP.
Oh, listen to it now it's available on all streaming
platform. And do you want to share whose
(05:06):
ad libs those actually were thataccompanied you on that song?
It was my friend Tafia. He's a rapper also, yeah.
And how did you, how did that even happen?
Was that something you posed to him?
Was he some did he just voluntarily do that for you?
He was. Just in the studio, because we
was going to this, we recorded in the same studio.
So I think I was recording and he was just there hanging out
(05:27):
and I was like, can you do the Jeezy sound for me?
Oh, OK, got it. Yeah, he went in there and did
it for me. Didn't he didn't feel any type
of way like you don't want to verse on this, you don't want to
hook on this. Songs together, but that one was
specifically for that. But we have songs together.
One song called Lisa Rae and onesong called Money Make Me Wet.
(05:51):
And those are available on all digital streaming platforms at
this point. Now ask you a variety of
questions here just on the subject of ad libs.
Is there anything else you want to mention about that before we
move on to another subject here in the music space?
No, that's fine. Ad libs are cool.
Now, aside from your own recording sessions, have you
(06:13):
been in any sessions where a hitsong was created or recorded
right in front of you? Yeah, my songs.
But asides from your songs here,has there been any song that you
(06:33):
were a spectator of? You were a family on the wall.
You spontaneously were in someone's session and you saw a
big record get created in front of you.
I've been in studios with art I don't like.
I've been in the studio with Young Thug, I've been in the
studio with like Offset with like Roddy Rich.
(07:00):
I've been this deal with a lot of people, but I don't think I
was ever in there where they hadlike their one of their popular
songs. It might have been something
that's just like on the album orgot it, you know what I'm
saying? Just curious in case you have,
because some have been witness to some really big songs they
weren't literally a part of, butthey were a family on the wall
and things of that nature. But when it comes to your own
(07:22):
recording sessions here, did want to ask you a couple of
people have you been spotted in the studio with, especially ones
that you've shared on your social media?
And before we even get into that, for those in the audience
here getting to know you for thevery first time, care to share
your handles, your screen names,your usernames to your official
pages, your official profiles onyour most prominently used
(07:42):
social media platforms? Because there could be some
fraud pages out there of you could be some scammy stuff.
For one there's a Facebook page that is not me just been
scamming the hell out of people so do not.
I don't have the Facebook. My Instagram is diamond the body
with two YS at the end so diamond THEBODYY and it's the
(08:04):
same for TikTok and Twitter is diamond DTV.
OK. So I want to ask you a couple of
these recording sessions you've been involved in.
Now, I don't know if you actually had a recording session
with this person. You posted a picture of YouTube
and you said collaboration coming soon or something of that
nature. I don't want to say the wrong
words or verbage you used here because I'm not looking at the
(08:27):
actual post or the caption, but Steve Aoki was that.
Have you actually collaborated with him yet?
No, not yet, but it is coming soon.
OK. So that's real.
That wasn't just cap for the forthe social media world and
things of that nature. That cap is a, let's call it
manifestation. OK, got it.
That's what we're going to call it.
(08:47):
OK, OK, OK. You have you were spotted in the
studio with finesse 2 times. Is this a song of his?
Is this a song of yours featuring one another?
How? So we did 2, so one I'm a
feature on his song and then onehis feature on my song.
So we kind of like did a swap. OK.
And the last one I wanted to askyou here, Suki Hana and Big
(09:09):
Marco, looks like you all collaborated together, but whose
track was this? Whose track is it?
I think it's. Like our track?
I don't know. How does that even work?
I don't know. That's what we wanted to get to
the bottom of here. We obviously see the social
media footage of all of you together working on a song, but
didn't know that was your song featuring them.
(09:31):
Suki song featuring both of you,Or maybe Big Marco's song here
featured you too. He just got us on his.
Well, can you, can you shed somelight to the audience on how
this collaboration of all three of you even got put together?
So it happened at the pool party.
So previous day was that Suyana had a pool party, the Coochie
(09:52):
Splash. I was hosting it, Shamar was
hosting it, and we just were just talking everybody and
they're like, let's go to the studio tomorrow and everybody's
like, yeah, let's go to the studio, let's make some music.
And then we went to the studio. Who said it first?
Who initiated that? Suki.
Got it. Yeah, so maybe it's her song.
(10:13):
Now when it comes to Suki, was that the first time you 2 have
collaborated with one another? Yes.
Musically, yes. And when it comes to your
relationship with her, do you recall the first time you 2
linked? Can you take the audience way
back when? We met actually like 8 years
(10:36):
ago. We didn't like we didn't stay
consistently cool that whole time.
So we met eight years ago. We kind of, she lived in Florida
and I was working in Florida. I was dancing at the time, so we
kind of like, knew each other inthe club, like, you know, But
(10:57):
this was our first time linking up since she's been famous and
I've been famous, so yeah. And was that ever a topic of
conversation yet? The glow up from both of you up
until this. Point we were talking about like
bro, like where we at? Like like could we know where we
both started? Like we seen each other like
regular and I was like, we're both famous.
(11:20):
It's cool. Both on TV, both doing music,
both names and brands are much bigger now than they once were.
Even on Instagram for example, you have over 1,000,000
followers just on that profile there.
Yes I do, but can you, can you take the audience to the very
first time you two met? Was it actually in a club you
(11:41):
were working at? Yes, it was at the office,
Miami. I was dancing and she was host.
She came in there. She was hosting, Yeah.
And she was throwing money at me.
I was like, I was like, yeah, mygirl, period.
(12:01):
So yeah, that's how we that's our first interaction.
Now from that point, the first interaction, how do you get to
be a part of this pool party that I believe it was the
Coochie Splash pool party, if I'm correct, saying that
correct, how did you become a host of that?
Who initiated? Who put me up?
Yeah, she was just like, hey, you know, are you free this day?
(12:24):
And I'm like, yeah, I actually don't have nothing going on.
So she was like, do you want to host my pool party?
I'm like, yeah, shit, let's do it.
And it looks like this was the first time she had done
something of this nature. And you posted kind of like a
recap video of it on your socialmedia, primarily Instagram.
But, you know, looks can be deceiving.
(12:44):
What was it really like at that event there?
It was wild. Like it was wild.
It was fun. It was a lot of fun, but it was
wild. It was a good time though, so
make sure you got to go to. The next one and OK, you guys
weren't besties the whole 8 years, but your relationship
(13:06):
with one another grew during thecourse.
We didn't keep in contact at. All oh wow, OK it.
Was just like, we met that time and then we kind of like lost,
like we didn't have each other'snumber or anything.
So he doesn't like friends. And yeah, I think we just both
just saw each other, like, OK, you know, now, like, OK, like
(13:30):
you're doing a thing, I'm doing my thing.
Like, let's do our thing together.
Got it, got it, got it. Now, again, when it comes to
some of the footage you posted, didn't know if there was stuff
that was so crazy, so wild you couldn't post it.
But what was that studio sessionlike there of all three of you,
You, Suki and Big Marco there? So it was very high energy.
(13:52):
It was like, you know, those arethree big personalities to put
in one room. So we was like laughing,
cracking up the whole time, dancing, drinking.
We just had a time. Like, we had a lot of fun there.
Got it. And we'll see what happens with
the creation of the music that was created that night.
(14:13):
Yeah. I mean, are there any plans for
any future studio sessions with you and either of these people
here that were talked about maybe?
Yeah, we actually, we didn't finish one song.
We finished one song and we wereworking on another song, so we
didn't finish it. So definitely got to get back in
the studio to finish that one. Now musically, before we move on
(14:35):
to this next question, musically, some things have
changed since the last time I'vehad the opportunity to interview
you. This time it looks like you have
the backing of a record label. Yes, something that's also
posted on your bio on Instagram.15 O1 Queen.
Yes, Queen. With a crown emoji now.
(14:59):
Can you explain your partnershipwith this imprint here?
So basically, you know, 15 O 1 is a major, it's independent
label. I'm an independent artist and
you know, we both just feel likewe have something that we each
need, you know, so they have more resources.
(15:23):
I already have the, you know, I'm just me.
I already have like, you know, like a fan base.
I'm already lit. So I feel like with his
resources and me being me, and we put that together, we're just
gonna, you know, create magic. Now there's a video of you where
you, you know, signing some documentation there and you
(15:45):
posted a paragraph what seemed like look like a paragraph of a
caption where you're like, yes, I actually read the contract.
Everything's legit and things ofthat nature there.
And of course, those in the audience can go check that out
on your official Instagram there.
But, you know, again, looks can be deceiving.
You know, sometimes paperwork issigned.
People are working together behind the scenes before an
(16:07):
announcement of this magnitude comes about to the public.
And then sometimes it's kind of like real time when you actually
signed on the dotted line and post, it was when the whole
world saw it together. Was this one of those instances
where when we saw you sign publicly on your social media,
that's actually how long you've been with the label?
Or has this been something in the works behind closed doors,
(16:28):
even further than what the public has seen?
No, it was definitely pretty accurate.
So I think we made that video like 2 days after I actually
signed. So it was, it was more, it was
real time. And I don't have the dates in
front of me, but how long have you been signed to this imprint
for at this point? Rough estimate.
Like 2 weeks. Two weeks, yeah, two weeks, two
(16:50):
weeks in. Now I have some questions I
generally ask recording artists that have been with an imprint
with quite some time. I know because it's only been
two weeks. I don't know if it's appropriate
to ask you these questions because you know, you're just
experiencing and, and getting toknow this label even further
than what you had already. It's kind of an, a limited
amount of time, relatively speaking.
(17:12):
But I'll still ask you these questions anyways just in case
you're able to answer them. And if you feel like it's too
early to answer, you can't answer them, then we'll move on
to another topic. But what's it really like being
on that imprint so far? So far so good.
Like I'm having a time. I love it.
I feel like I'm able to get intospaces a lot easier, a lot
quicker. You know, before when you're
(17:33):
independent, like people are notas receptive to you for certain
things. The way you have a label,
they're like, Oh yeah, I'm like,yeah, that's all I needed.
So yeah, I love it. Honestly, I think it's great.
I love having the representation.
I love having the backing like yeah 15 O1 and.
(17:55):
Who do you have the closest bondwith on that imprint at this
point? Whether it's someone in front of
the scenes like you like anotherrecording artist on that label,
or maybe someone behind the scenes in in an executive
position. Probably my DJ Zach, like, we
talk every day and, you know, hehelps out a lot with music stuff
(18:17):
and like, just, you know, lifestyle stuff.
It's cool. And did you the one who actually
brought me to the label? Yeah.
So shout out to Zach. So that's the one of the
questions that was going to be asked was did you have a bond
with him prior to this signing? And it sounds like you did.
He was your DJ before you end upsigning.
(18:38):
No, he wasn't my DJ, but we did do music together.
And we have. We were familiar with each
other. Got it.
Yes. But he was like, really
advocating for me. Like, yo, I got to get this
girl. Like she's it.
Like, let's do it. So yeah.
Now when it comes to Carl, I do have some questions about him.
(18:59):
Don't know if you're able to answer it if it's too early and
again if you feel like it is tooearly to ask then I won't ask
it. But what's it like working with
him? It's like, I don't know, it's
like a fun time. It doesn't feel like I have a
boss. It doesn't feel like I have
like, you know what I'm saying? You know when you was your boss?
He like I gotta act like. Maybe some intimidation there
(19:22):
and things of that nature. He's so fine.
He's so cool. He's like the fun uncle, you
know? Like that's Uncle Carl over
there. He's cool.
Now, what's a studio session with him like?
I know he doesn't get behind themic himself, but when I say
studio session, like what's it like when you've been in the
studio with him? He's been, you know, fly on the
(19:42):
wall, spectator, things of that nature.
What's been let your two personalities together in the
same room? What's that been like?
The studio is always fun. He doesn't like.
He's not. How do I say this?
He doesn't like do too much. I don't know.
He doesn't make me feel like he just be like do your thing, like
go ahead. Like he's not critiquing me so
(20:03):
much and you know, like, now do that over like he just just
enjoying the process. Not micromanaging you and things
of that. Nature.
No, he just be like, I like it. He do this or I'll be like, you
like it. He's like, yeah, I'm like, yeah,
that's what I like because I hate when people meet in the
studio doing too much, telling me how to do it, like let me do
my thing. You know what I'm saying?
(20:25):
So yeah, he's cool on that. Now, couple more questions about
him here. Out of all of his
characteristics that you've experienced so far, what do you
enjoy the most about him at thispoint?
Two weeks in here. Two weeks in, I feel like what I
enjoy the most is that he's enjoying his health.
(20:50):
I don't know if that makes sense, but it's like I see that
he loves it as much as I love it.
Like we're both like having the time of our lives.
It's crazy. I'm like, he's really cuz you
know, sometimes you be with people and cuz I've been with
other situations, managers, independent labels and they
(21:11):
don't have the same. I don't know if it's like a
hunger, like they just, I don't know, they kind of just like
just they're not into it, like I'm into it.
You get what I'm saying? Or maybe they're more for the
money. Like he always says he's not
into it for the money. You know what I'm saying?
He came from baseball. He got the money, he want the
(21:32):
experience. And I feel like I, I mean, I
want the money too, but I want the experience as well.
So I feel like we're both experiencing it.
So that's what I enjoy by. So if I can give an analogy
here, it's almost like in sports, because you brought up
baseball, he is a baseball player.
It's like in sports, like, you know, with football, for
example, I know he does baseballonce again, but let's just take
(21:55):
football, for example, the Dallas Cowboys, you'll see the
owner, Jerry Jones on the sidelines with the football
players and, you know, kind of seeing what's going on.
He's on the field with it. There's some other football team
owners that are not on the field.
They might not even be in the sky box.
They might be. Not even watch the damn game.
I don't even care, they like just bring my money.
(22:15):
So you're saying he's more like,in a sense like a Jerry Jones
where he's active with the artist he's.
He's in the game. Got it.
He right there. Like, come on, let's go.
But not micromanaging yet. No, but he's just cheering me
on. Like, come on, let's go.
Now, just to be fair, I also gotto ask you this, OK?
Because we're all about transparency here on this
(22:36):
platform. On the opposite end of the
spectrum, two weeks in, is therea characteristic of his you
can't stand? Something that bugs you, bothers
you, gets under your skin perhaps?
No, nothing yet. You know it's always cupcakes
and sunshine in the beginning. Honeymoon stage.
(22:58):
Probably probably about 3-4 months in before I'd be like,
uh, uh, see, I knew it was cutting on, I'm just kidding,
but no, nothing yet. And we'll see how some of these
answers reflect a little bit more time on that imprint and
follow up with you again in the future.
But so far, two weeks in, last question about him.
OK, if you can even answer this,what's the best advice you've
(23:22):
received from him or most important thing you'll learn
from him so far if anything? What I've learned from him is to
be resilient. You know, he's been through a
lot and he he gets a lot of backlash, you know what I'm
saying? And he was in a situation where
(23:43):
he could have just quit and justbe like, you know what, throwing
a towel. So for him to go through all
that and it's still do it again,trusting another female artist,
like he could have been like, I'm done with, you know what I'm
saying? So for that, I just see the
Brazilians like he's still like willing to work.
He still wants it to work. So, you know, that's just a
(24:04):
lesson in itself. Like just keep going.
Honestly, no matter what people say, no matter what you know is
going on in the media, no matterwhat is happening, just keep
going. Now he has signed a variety of
recording artists, different genres of music as well, but his
brand, his imprint historically has been mention when it comes
(24:29):
to the female rapper side of things, the Megan, the
Stallions, the Erica Banks, things of that nature.
So with you, when you announce this deal, this situation, this
partnership, what was the reaction from the public to it?
The public was not very receptive to it, again, because
(24:50):
of, you know, certain things that's been said in the media.
You know, my fans were like, don't do it, don't do it.
Don't sign it. No, no, no, no.
But, you know, it's just the Internet.
You can't believe everything youhear on the Internet.
And there's three sides to everystory, You know what I'm saying?
It's his. It's hers, and it's the truth.
So yeah, I'm not gonna listen tothe Internet.
(25:13):
I'm gonna go to the source. Hey, what's going on?
You know what I'm saying? And yeah.
Now, you could have signed with anybody.
You didn't have to sign with 15 O1.
And I'm sure all this feedback that you received is probably
stuff that you had already thought about before you even
saw them saying it and things ofthat nature, if I can make that
assumption. But why 15 O1?
(25:35):
Because imagine there's other people that wanted to sign you
and things of that. Nature, there actually was some
labels that was reaching out. I had other contracts on the
table, but again, like I said, with the labels, I feel like I
know people that signed and I heard the stories and I feel
like there's, there's like a disconnection.
(25:59):
Like I run all my things like more family business, you know
what I'm saying? Like even my music, my team,
like everybody with me is like kind of like a family vibe, you
know what I'm saying? So with the labels, it's more of
like you're just a product, you know what I'm saying?
That's what I was talking about earlier.
The difference between like Carland other people like Carl is
like, yeah, like this is my artist.
(26:21):
You know what I'm saying? I don't want to be a product of
just label where you're like, OK, well, if it's work, it work.
If it don't we shelf you, we don't really care.
Like Carl with 15 O 1 is like I'm the main, you know what I'm
saying? Priority like they're watching,
they're making sure everything'sgood.
They're I could call him, but hey, what's like can I do this
kind of what's going on? You know what I'm saying?
(26:43):
I didn't want that dynamic of just I'm on the label and they
don't really care. They got 200 other artists and
I'm just they just throwing me out there.
So yeah, that's why I went with 15 O one.
Just curious here, how many deals did you have on the table
lined up at the time you made this decision?
Yeah. Major labels, independent
(27:05):
labels, major artists wanting tosign you.
Independent artists wanting to sign you here.
So it was 2 independent labels and then two major labels, Yeah.
And then fifteen O 1. And fifteen O 1.
Takes the cake there. Yep.
Oh, yeah. I want to go over there.
Yeah. And I've seen Carl, like, even,
(27:26):
OK, so even back before I ever met, like I watched it, like I
seen what he does. And I like that dynamic.
I always like that, that dynamic.
So I was like, that's what I want.
So yeah. Got it.
Well, anything else here on the topic on 15 O1?
Is there a question you weren't asked?
(27:47):
People want to know in regards to that imprint, Carl Crawford,
anything else in regards to thatsituation there two weeks in.
Two weeks in, no, it's kind of early, but we work in.
And still want to ask you these questions because you never
know, you know, again, like I said in the beginning, sometimes
stuff happens. You know, there's artists that
sign with an imprint 6 months before they make the
(28:09):
announcement public. So didn't know if it was one of
these situations here where it'sjust kept under wraps and now is
the time for the the go button was pressed or if this was
literally real time. But it sounds like, as you said,
it was more of a real time, realtime scenario.
Time to waste, Let's. Get to it now.
Was that, was that a, was that atopic of discussion at all
between you 2? Like, hey, let's sign, but let's
(28:30):
not announce it for another month or two months?
Or was that even a a choice or. No, I think we were both excited
to let the world know what's going on.
He was excited. I was excited.
Like shit, let's let him know. Now, aside from the music side
of things, obviously people in the audience have seen you on
(28:51):
the reality television side of things.
What is the current status with that?
Are you done with reality TV at this point?
Is it full systems go on the music side of things?
Are you juggling both? Where are you at with that?
Right now I'm like kind of juggling both.
I don't want to just cold Turkeyleave reality TV because I know
that is where majority of my fanbase came from.
(29:13):
I don't want to just like leave them high and dry and then
really I'm like the star of the show.
So what would it be without me? You know what I mean?
Like I couldn't do y'all like that.
But yeah, right now I'm juggling.
But yeah, there will be a endingsoon.
But right now we're still like just got 1 foot in, one foot
out. Got it.
(29:34):
Now, when it comes to your brand, your image, your likeness
on reality television or when people hear it in music and
things of that nature, obviouslysome misconceptions can exist at
this point in your life. However, what's the biggest
misconception of you? I think people think that I like
(29:55):
to fight. Like I think people think that
they'd be like, yeah, keep whooping them bitches.
I'm like, I don't want to do that.
I don't like fighting. It's not like I'll get up every
year, Like, yeah, I'm going to beat people up.
Like, no guys, I'm a lover, not a fighter.
I just know how to fight and I don't let people play with me.
(30:17):
But I don't like fighting. So asking this question then
when people have seen scuffles with you on reality television
and things of that nature or offreality television, is this
stuff real? Is this stuff, you know,
exaggerating maybe you in a sense for ratings, for clout,
(30:40):
for whatever verbiage you want to say there or I mean, this is
really you, not that you love tofight, but these fights that
you've been involved in, I mean,is this like, are you turning up
or is this just how you are? It's.
Definitely exaggerated. I mean, when you're in front of
a camera, obviously you have to be entertaining and you have to,
you know what I'm saying? So yeah, things are definitely
(31:01):
exaggerated, blown out of proportion, but it is real.
You know what I'm saying? It's real cuz there's no
scripts, there's no just go in there and whatever just happens,
happens. But yeah, it's pretty real.
So because of, and I don't believe you're an executive
(31:24):
producer on any of these shows that you've been on.
OK, So obviously you don't really have a say so in the
final edit and things of that nature.
So do you feel like this misconception is painted on you
based on how these shows were edited and things of that nature
or I don't know. Do you have a?
No, no, it's not. I mean it.
(31:44):
It's what I'd be doing on the show.
So that's just what people see. I mean, I feel like they show a
lot more of the fighting and thedrama than they do of everything
else. I feel like, yeah, if they were
to show more of the other thingswe did and, you know, other
conversations that's being had, like, then people really get to
(32:05):
know like, damn, you know, she'sactually really super, super
cool. But yeah, they focus more on the
fighting and the drama. So that's what people get to see
most. And that's where you know, that
misconception comes in at. Now, Speaking of this
misconception in particular, have you lost opportunities
(32:27):
because of this jacket, for lackof a better phrase?
Yeah, you know, some brands or, you know, certain spaces,
they're kind of scared to have abaddie.
Like not many opportunities, butthere are some people that's
just like, we don't like deal with that reality TV world.
(32:50):
But for the most part, it actually opened a lot more doors
than it's closed, so. And what about on the booking
side of things? Are there maybe some
establishments that scared to book you for a gig?
Maybe thinking you know this might spill on into the event
space. No, no, they love booking me,
baby, booking me up. OK, my schedule is booked, so I
(33:13):
have to tell people no sometimes.
Hey, I'm not not feeling it thisweek.
But no, the clubs love me because I I conduct myself and I
have a lot of recaps. I'm always showing what my
parties look like. You know what I'm saying?
So the promoters are pretty. They know I'm going to just come
turn up and leave. I haven't.
Had no fights in the club. Now when it comes to
(33:35):
opportunities, do want to ask you this, what's been the
biggest opportunity you've received so far?
And this could be anything, music, reality, whatever.
Even past that biggest opportunity you received and
passed on that you wish you didn't looking back in
retrospect. That I passed.
(33:57):
On yes, and it doesn't even haveto be in regards to bookings.
This could be an opportunity with an investment of some sort.
Maybe you could have bought a Bitcoin at $10 when they came
out and you didn't. You know, this could be a
variety of things. It doesn't have to just be music
entertainment related. Biggest opportunity you
received, you had the chance to do.
You passed on it for whatever reason and you look back and say
(34:20):
to yourself, I wish I never did that.
I wish I did not. I wish I'd done that.
Is this you said after baddies or this is in my life?
In your life period I. Mean that's very yeah, I mean, I
don't have anything like specific.
I feel like in life general, we all be missing out damn
(34:42):
opportunities. But no, I don't I I don't know
it. I I don't have a specific thing
that I was like, Oh my God, I wish I would have did that.
Not a movie role you passed on or something or.
No, I wasn't passing on that. And what about on the opposite
end of the spectrum? What's been the biggest
(35:02):
opportunity you received and accepted, and glad you did in
retrospect? Record label, record deal.
That's the big one. That's 15 O one or someone else
here 15 O1 OK. Yeah, that's, that was the
biggest. I feel like that's the biggest
opportunity that's come to me sofar, and that's an opportunity
(35:23):
that I really, really wanted, soI'm happy that one came.
Now, Speaking of these fans of yours, these followers, these
supporters, do you, what do you refer to them as at this point?
They are my diamond dolls, my diamond dolls, and my gems.
(35:45):
Is there a difference? Yeah, Gems is more for, you
know, not the girlier side. The girlier side is more the
diamond dolls gems is more, you know, versatile.
Now, were these names that they called themselves or these were
names you gave them? I gave them the names because
actually when I used to own the strip club, that's what my
(36:09):
dancers were in my diamond dollslike.
So now the world are my diamond Dolls.
And what happened to that situation there in and of
itself? Sounds like that was in past
tense here. Yes.
So I used to own a strip club. It was a couple.
It was like maybe four years ago.
(36:32):
I just wanted to be a rapper. It was fun.
I made a lot of money. I was really like, that was the
most fun I ever made ever. I loved everything about it.
I love being a boss. I love being an entrepreneur.
But like my soul knew like this not what I want, like this not
(36:53):
how I want to. You know what I'm saying?
You know how you have a dream? I'm like, I can't leave this
earth without accomplishing my goals and my dreams, you know?
So I had to quit that, focus back on music and now I'm here
side artists. Now, could that have been
passive income for you while youwere chasing this dream?
(37:13):
Could that still have gone on without you, so to speak?
No, that place could not do nothing without me.
But this realistically with, youknow, music is a full time job
and running a strip club or any business really, you know, it's
a full time job. You, you're working until you
get to maybe like 5-6 years and you have all type of employees
(37:35):
in place or it can run by itself.
But in the beginning it's all you.
So it, there was no way to kind of do both.
It was like you either running the club or you're running to
the studio because you know. And we were.
Open six days a week so it was no like I'm working damn near
(37:57):
everyday. And why not 7?
Just curious there. Because we needed a, we needed a
break. We got, we had one like that was
just our day off, like Mondays, we just reset.
Care to share the name of the establishment at the time and
what part of the world this was in?
It was called the Dollhouse, Yes, and it was in Los Angeles.
(38:18):
Now, do you feel like you will ever pick that up again, so to
speak, and do something of that nature in the future?
Absolutely. I definitely want to own a strip
club. But like I said, after I
accomplished what I want to accomplish in the music industry
and I'm like, you know, 678 years in and now I could be
like, OK, let me take on some other ventures I definitely want
(38:42):
to do. That and just wondering because
didn't know if you ever saw yourself with the establishment
and maybe franchising it and things of that nature.
There are some very popular strip clubs that are in multiple
cities, same name, multiple cities.
They've expanded and grew out their outreach and things of
that nature. So I didn't know if you foresaw
that way back when, like, OK, I got the dollhouse and we're
(39:04):
going to, I, I want to eventually expand to Vegas or
Houston or, yeah, Philly or whatever.
Absolutely. I mean, yeah, because I feel
like what I would implement in my strip club is not really
implemented in strip clubs at the moment.
So I wouldn't want everybody to have the opportunity to be able
(39:25):
to work at my club in different states.
So yeah. And did you share where this was
located Once Upon a time? Los Angeles.
Oh yeah, you did mention that. OK.
Sorry about that. Can I text real?
Quick, sure. I'm so sorry.
It's like, really important. No problem.
But yeah, I mean, can I just putthe phone down?
You still ask me questions. Yes, yes I can.
(39:49):
So was going to move forward andask you, when it comes to these
dolls and gems, what's been yourfavorite encounter so far with
either of these people here? OK, so my favorite will have to
be London. I got booked in London and it
was just crazy because it's overseas.
There's one thing to know that you're popular here, but to go
(40:10):
to another country and like it was sold out for one and the
crowd was sold. It was like, I don't know.
It was like, I was like a like. But like a rock star, like I was
walking through there like screaming, and then they started
this chant and I was just standing there just like, wow,
(40:34):
this is amazing. Like all of this for me, really.
So yeah, that was my best experience, my diamond dolls.
And how long ago was that? I believe it was this year.
2025. Yeah.
And and was that just like a oneoff encounter or or booking in
(40:55):
London or was it like multiple stops during your trip there or?
Yeah, I did three. I did like a small tour in
London. So I did London, Manchester and
damn, what's the other place? Birmingham.
So I did a three spots, but I mean it was like that
(41:19):
everywhere. But it just I feel like just
because it's London, it just it's stuck.
It's in my mind like, wow, that's crazy.
Did DTB sound any different or the cadence any different being
that they have their own accent over?
They they, they, they put a little extra emphasis on it, but
they, they definitely, they go hard for me over there.
(41:41):
And was that back-to-back to back nights?
Yes, it was. Now, is there a secret there on
how you handle those type of bookings when it's like a
weekend, for example, and you'redoing a Friday, Saturday and
Sunday night. There's no off day in between
those three nights and you have to, you're getting paid to turn
up and turn the establishment up, is there?
(42:02):
How do you do, how do you maintain your voice don't get
hoarse for the next gig or you know, how do you handle like the
drinking and things of that nature and so on and so forth?
I do. Try to give myself, like, some
bookings where I don't drink. Like, I would say like, all
right, I'm not drinking at all for like, these three days
(42:24):
because sometimes, yeah, it doestake a total, you know, drinking
all the time and partying all the time.
Then sometimes you got to fight early in the morning.
It's just like. So yeah, I think I'll be taking
a break from drinking. But yeah, other than that, I
mean, the money calling you got to go get it.
Now, what about this? When it comes to these gems,
these dolls, maybe even someone that's not, they just so happen
(42:48):
to see you in passing and you know they want to picture with
you or talk to you for a second,things of that nature.
What's the best way for someone to approach someone of your
nature? What's the like?
Are there rules? Are there guidelines?
Is there etiquette? You know, not just for you, but.
You know, my fans have no etiquette.
They do not care where I'm at, what I'm doing.
(43:12):
It could be I could be in the middle of eating a sandwich.
They like, hey, can I get a picture?
Once I want to the gym, I want atreadmill.
The girls like can I can't get apicture.
I'm like, and sometimes I'd be wanting to be a little upset,
but I'm like, how can I be upset?
This person is just like excitedto see me that should I'm happy
(43:32):
about it. You should be happy that people
are this excited to see you. Now, I do think they could wait
sometimes. Like, hey, let me just wait till
she gets off the treadmill. Let me wait till she's finished
eating. But I don't know, I think they
just be so excited in the moment.
Like they're just. It's just like, I need to get
this right now. And that's where I was going
with this question. Is there things you would like
(43:53):
those in the audience to know onhow to, you know, approach
someone like yourself if they just so happen to see maybe they
weren't even expecting you there, You know, passing by you
in the airport, passing by you in the shopping center or mall
or some sort didn't know you were going to be there.
You just so happen to be there. But they, you know, want to
capture that moment, say something to you.
Things are there do's and don'tsfor those people.
(44:16):
Is there instructions here you'dlike to?
For me personally, there's no don'ts.
If you want a picture just ask. I'm I'm going to take a picture
every time. I was ever a time where I said
no to taking a picture. And what about any rules or
etiquette when it comes to the poses on those picture taking?
Because some can be a little bitmore handsier than others and a
(44:39):
little more touchy feely than others.
No problem. Honestly, I never had nobody
like over do anything or, you know, they're very respectful.
They come, they take the picture, they're excited and
then they just leave. So yeah, I'm cool.
Now do want to ask you this. Chris Brown was trending for his
(45:01):
meet and greets. You know, he would do these meet
and greets and you know his fanswould want these sexually
explicit interactions and photosand compromising positions and
things of that nature. And some others have been
getting the same request. You know, it kind of trickled
down like Boosie badass will getthese type of requests too.
(45:21):
And he's doing some of these same poses and things of that
nature. Has this trickled on to you as
well? Have you seen like an uptake or
uptick on people wanting these type of now obviously the
dynamics is a little different because those are males with
female fans or supporters, followers, things of that
nature. But with you on the opposite end
of the spectrum, you being a female and maybe encountering
(45:43):
male fans and things of that nature.
Have you seen an uptake in this?Like, have people been
requesting some provocative poses with you or wanting you to
do certain things because of, again, the trend of Chris Brown
and boosie and things of that nature Have you seen?
No, not really. Sometimes like it's happened,
but I don't mind. OK, I'll take a raunchy picture
(46:06):
for the fan, but yeah, it's not,it's not like often people are
not like, hey, let me grab your butt, take a picture and I might
let them too. Like, let me ask.
I don't know. Nobody's asked.
And Speaking of raunchy, you know, when it comes to some of
your lyrics in your music, do want to ask you this.
(46:28):
Sometimes you've referred to yourself as a three O 4.
Why do that? Because there are some females
that do music and they'll say everything other everything
under the sun, but they won't refer to themselves as that
phrase or that word. You know, they might call other
females or other people in theirsongs that word or the B word or
(46:49):
things of that nature, but they won't refer to themselves as
that. And there's some females that
will refer to themselves as AB word, but they won't refer to
themselves as that age word. Why do you refer to yourself as
that in some of your songs, someof your music?
Because I'm just, I'm real. I'm real, I'm raw.
You know, I think that I am a hoe.
So I mean, I'm like, you know, like if I would be real about
(47:15):
everything, like I would just bereal.
Like, shit it is. They might not really be hoes.
I think I am. So hey, it is what it is.
And just curious since we're on this subject, what makes you
that? What is there?
What's the definition? What are the prerequisites there
that you consider yourself one of these?
(47:36):
OK, so I just feel like in general, you know, at that time
I used to be a stripper and I feel like just in that field
alone, like, you know what I'm saying?
Come on, you're getting naked people seeing you like.
Sex work. Yeah, there's no like, not like
you're a hoe. Realistically, if you would get
naked for complete strangers formoney, you're a hoe.
(48:00):
That's it. Just is what?
And they're asking you to do stuff for money, like can I get
a lap dance for this price? And if you say yes, then.
It doesn't necessarily mean you're even having sex with
them, but just the act of what you're doing that that in
general as a hoe. But I feel like nowadays you're
get you'll get labeled a hoe foranything like you go to the club
(48:20):
and you're just having fun and you twerking and just dancing.
Sometimes I look at this, she a hoe, you know what I'm saying?
So I feel like sometimes when the world tries to bring you
down about something, you just got to embrace it, you know what
I'm saying? I want to turn the change the
narrative of that word. Like I want to show like, OK,
yeah, yeah. I am a hoe now what?
(48:42):
Yes, I am. I love being a hoe.
I am the hoe. I'm the queen of the hoes.
I'm the voice of the hoes. I'm your favorite hoe, favorite
hoe. You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, Now what's been the reaction to that?
Like when you've referred to yourself as that, what's the
response to some of these songs,these lyrics, the.
Music, I don't know, people be like trying to like, they be
(49:07):
like, no, you're not like, why not?
But I feel like, OK, this is another thing too.
I want to kind of change the narrative of what, you know,
people think about that word because people think like I
said, if I tell somebody I'm a hoe, they're like, no, you're
not Why not? Because I'm well, look how you
(49:29):
dress. You look nice, you like, so that
means that you think that a hoe is like, you have a negative
thought about that word. You get what I'm saying?
So it's like, I want to show like you could be a hoe and
still be classy. You could be a hoe and still be
intelligent. You could be whatever you do for
your occupation does not make you, you get what I'm saying.
(49:50):
And that's something that I wanteverybody to know because even
when I was a stripper, people would judge me and think that
you did or you died. And it's like, no, I can be a
stripper and still read a book. I can be a stripper and still be
in college. I can be a stripper and still be
a great mother. I can be a stripper and still be
a real estate agent. Like don't put limitations on me
because of what I do. So I feel like that's really the
(50:12):
main thing of why I embrace it so much.
Yes, I want you to know that this is what I and, and just
because I don't do it no more, Ican't just like my wholeness is
not deleted because I have a record deal now.
Like I'm not, I'm not at home nomore.
No, it's it's there. It's in me.
You know what I'm saying? So yeah, I want everybody to
know that your occupation does not, you know it doesn't.
(50:36):
It doesn't defy you. So if you're on only fans, if
you are a porn star, if you are a stripper, if you are a
prostitute, whatever it is that you do for, you know, to make
your money, to pay your bills, that is not who you are.
You can still be classy, you canstill be smarter.
You can still own a business. You can still, you know what I'm
(50:58):
saying, do what you want to do and make sure you just have a
goal and exit plan, you know what I'm saying?
You have a strategy. You do what you got to do, get
the money and then put it towards something else and then
you could be like the TV. Now, Speaking of money, I do
want to ask you this question here.
Now. I'm going to read you the title
of an article from TMZ.com and Iwant your thoughts on this
(51:21):
article title. And if you want me to actually
go through the details of it, I'll read that to you as well.
But I'll just start with the title first.
Let's hear it. Sydney Sweeney, I'm selling my
used bathwater. That's the title of the article.
OK, Do you want me to read you the details?
(51:42):
Are you able to share your thoughts just on the title of
the article there? I mean shit.
Selling my bathwater I. Would sell my bathwater if you
will buy it like you got to get your money Like I'm a hustler
like anything like I, I'm I'm forgetting some money.
So if that's how you get your money, show me because I want to
(52:04):
sell some bath water because at this point my bath water going
to waste. I should be selling it.
Now, removing her from the equation here, what's the most
unique thing you've ever done for money?
Because not everybody's selling their bath water.
So is there something you've uniquely done for money?
(52:28):
Have sex. Is that unique?
Is that unique or that's not unique?
Have sex that's regular. You mean something like?
Yeah, something extraordinary, something like selling used
bathwater. That's not something you
extraordinary, You know, people have heard of of females selling
(52:51):
their panties and things of thatnature, but the bathwater,
that's unique there. OK, so I've sold like I've
charged somebody to do my hair. So usually people pay to get
their hair done. So I used to charge people
because they want promo and theywant to say they did my hair.
So I used to charge people to domy hair.
I think that's unique because some people were outraged when
(53:13):
they heard about it. They were like, what?
I would never pay to do somebodyhere like, OK, you can't do hair
then. Like, is that something you
continue to do or that's something I.
Stopped. I stopped it because you know
what, everybody's not really good at doing hair.
Sometimes they will pay me to domy hair and and fuck my shit up.
So I had to stop that. Like no.
(53:36):
And you did admit to that here you have had sex for money.
Is that something you've stoppedas well or?
Yeah, for sure. Professionally, just music now.
Music and fights. But I do have a follow up
(53:59):
question for that. As strange as that sounds, most
you've been paid for in the past. 10,000 yeah, that was a
really, really big Tipper 10. $1000 And was it literally, you
(54:24):
know, a span of 30 minutes an hour, was it a night?
Was it a spend the night type ofthing for that amount of money
there like a? Weekend.
A weekend trip. Yeah, $10,000 Now, even though
you no longer do this, what's the most you've ever been
offered to do it? I think that was the most.
(54:45):
OK. That was the most as well.
All right, just curious there and you know by.
The way. Let me say something though,
because if the price is right, Ijust like never say never.
I don't know. If somebody come up with a 50
ball, they might get it. Now, just curious here, all
right. Yeah.
(55:11):
I'm just like, I'm not turning down 50,000 like hey.
What's going to ask you? What's going to ask you
something else? But that laugh took my train of
thought off the next question. So now just curious there and,
and why no problem admitting that, you know, because you
know, I've asked this question before to some others and
they've told me no, they've never done it.
I don't know if they're lying trying to save their their face
(55:34):
and their figure about it, but why?
No problem with you blurting that out that you have done
that. Because I like to keep it real.
I don't like people, that fake stuff.
They be on the Internet living this life and they've got all
these cars and clothes and bags.They're like, oh, I'm just
lucky. No, you selling pussy.
It's OK. Like you know what I'm saying?
(55:54):
And I need other people to understand too.
Like when people are watching other people live certain lives,
it's like this is what what theythat's what they be doing.
That's what I be doing. That's what I used to be doing.
But at the same time, it's like,you know, I want the people that
is not doing it to understand like you know what I'm saying?
(56:17):
How do I put this? I want them to know the real
that's it. It's just like, if you, this is
how you see us young and fine and beautiful.
It's coming fast. That's how it's coming.
So you either go get with it or keep stick, keep working.
You know what I'm saying? Like don't feel bad about it.
Don't feel like, oh, why I ain'tgetting this.
I ain't getting that because youain't fucking.
It's OK. You taking the, the, the honest
(56:40):
route. Keep going, girl.
You going to get there one day. I'm I'm going to get there a
little quicker, but yeah, I justlike to keep it real.
I'm a real ass person and I feellike that's why everybody loves
me because I just be keeping sure real.
Now last question here about sexwork, especially from your past
history with it. What do you want?
Those in the audience that don'tdo sex work but you know, have
(57:03):
their own assumptions, judgments, things of that nature
on sex workers. Is there anything you want to is
there anything you want the audience to know from your
perspective of doing sex work Once Upon in your life about
these type of people that do that as a service?
Yeah, I want them to know that. I want them to not to judge us,
(57:27):
OK? Do not judge us.
Don't think because of what we do.
Don't even think. Like sometimes people think
you're easy because you're in that job.
Just because I do that, that don't mean that you could even
get it. You know what I'm saying?
Like, Sir, no, but I feel like Iwant everybody to know like
don't judge people that do what they got to do to pay their
(57:47):
bills. You know what I'm saying?
Their job is separate from who they are.
You can still date them. You can still like them.
You can still be their friend. They're not evil.
We're not, we don't got skating.We're not like, you know what
I'm saying? Like we regular people, we just
do what we got to do to pay our bills.
And now that topic came to mind that I wanted to ask you, and
(58:09):
that was the subject of only fans, OK?
Like if one were to go on your social media right now, check
out your Instagram, see your links, they wouldn't see an only
fans link or you promoting only fans.
So you do have an only fans, you're just not promoting it
anymore or you don't do only? Fans I had only.
Fans OK, you did. Yes, but you know, now with
everything going on is like, I don't need it no more
(58:32):
realistically. Just curious the status on that.
Yeah, it's there though. I can see some.
It's there but I don't like promote it or post it or
anything. Got it.
OK, So just winding down the questions here, just an outro.
(58:53):
Is there anything else when it comes to your followers, your
fans, your supporters, the dolls, the gems as you refer to
them as? Is there anything else you were
not asked during this interview?They really want to know here.
I think they want to, really. Everybody wants to know if I'm
going back on baddies, and the answer is I don't know.
(59:16):
So yeah. OK.
And with this conversation, previous topics you were asked,
previous questions you were asked, is there anything you
want to add on to what you've said?
Is there anything perhaps you want to subtract from what
you've said before we depart here?
No, I just want to add that, youknow, I, I actually really, and
this isn't something I missed earlier when you asked why I'm
(59:38):
so open about certain things. I want other girls that are in
the situations that I was in to know that it is possible to make
it out. It is possible to do other
things besides what you're doingcurrently.
You get what I'm saying? Cuz even when I was coming up,
there were no examples of anybody.
(59:59):
I'm like, damn, I'm gonna just be a 40 year old stripper.
You're gonna say I didn't know what else to do.
I'm just like. You know, like I, I needed
somebody to come out and say, hey, yeah, that's what I used to
do and I'll do this And nobody would do that cuz they're so
ashamed of it there. You know what I'm saying?
When there are really successfulwomen now that had passed that
were in the strip club or that used to be, you know, sex work
(01:00:23):
and now they're successful, but they kind of buried that life
and they don't want to talk about it.
So I didn't know, I didn't know you could be a a stripper and be
a successful real estate agent. So I wouldn't be that voice to
say, hey, look, it don't matter what you're doing, it don't
matter what you know, what occupation you got, anything
possible. And I just want to show that.
So yeah. And curious here, do you, have
(01:00:47):
you written a book about this sort of thing?
Do you offer consultations as a service for, you know, those
that you know maybe in the fieldand want to get out and don't
you know, need some? I actually do.
