Teontee reveals his genius strategy of turning hate comments into profitable content—effectively making his critics work as his unpaid PR team.
Beyond the confident exterior we see online, Teontee shares his journey from being "the shy kid" afraid to speak to strangers, to manifesting his viral success through deliberate self-affirmation. "I would tell myself in the mirror: you're gonna be famous, you're gonna be viral, people are gonna hear you," he explains, showing how speaking success into existence became his reality.
The conversation delves into navigating the music industry while defying traditional expectations, dating authentically without compromise, and finding support from family. Comparisons to Prince emerge as Teontee carves his unique lane in an industry often resistant to those who don't fit predetermined molds.

It's not easy for people,especially in the social media
day and age, to just bethemselves Like everybody's
trying to be somebody else.
They're trying to be a trendand not a trend setter, yes, and
(05:50):
you are just not bothered byanything that people say about
you.
So let's just get get into it.
So people say that you're toofeminine, that you don't fit in
to the mold of what a rappershould look like.
(06:13):
How do you deal with thatpressure and still show up as
you?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
When people say that at this point I really don't
care, care.
It used to bother me a lot, tobe honest, because at one point
I was like um, do I have to fitinto a box?
Do I have to wrap like this?
Do I have to look like this?
Do I have to simmer myself down?
But I went through somethingrecently, a depression that
(06:45):
brought me back to like now whoI am Like and I really don't
care anymore.
I'm going to just do music, putout the music that I like, show
my personality the way I wantto and, you know, give my fans
the music that they want, Givemy fans the Tianta that they
(07:06):
want.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And we want it, we want it, we want you.
We want you as you are.
Have you ever felt the need tocorrect how people perceive you
or their like assumptions aboutyou?
Like, have you ever felt thelike need to like, let me, let
(07:31):
me, let me get this straight.
Like, let me get them together.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
have, you ever felt that?
Yeah, I have done that plentyof times before.
But now I just do this thingwhere I make the hate comments
content, like, instead ofreplying and trying to correct
them.
I reply with content because ifI'm going to reply, I'm going
(07:57):
to make it benefit me in someway, like I'm going to make some
money out of y'all.
I'm going to make some moneyout of y'all hate.
So listen, I'm going to makesome money off y'all hate.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Listen, I am going to make my coins off you bitches,
so y'all keep talking, but asyou're talking, I'm going to la
bank, right, okay, keep talking,keep talking, right, because
all you're doing is making mypockets and you're making people
(08:28):
listen and look at me even more.
I tell everybody your hatersare your biggest promoters.
Yes, you're like you do notneed PR, you, you do not need a
PR team.
Let your haters do it.
(08:48):
And that is exactly what youare doing, and I think that that
is phenomenal.
Listen to anybody who iswatching and listening.
Now, make your haters your PRteam.
Let them promote you.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Put that on the shirt .
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I might just do that because listen, because your
haters promote you more andbetter than anybody else most
definitely so let them do theirjob.
So okay, so, okay.
So you wear what's what, whatyou want, you move how, how you
(09:33):
want, and you just make, youmake the shit look good.
Okay, you, you, you make theshit look good.
Where did that confidence startfor you?
Because that is what that is.
What did that start?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I honestly just like to wear what I want to wear.
I have always been that type ofperson to wear what I want to
wear, Whether it's a crop topand some baggy jeans, whether
it's fully baggy clothing,whether it's a hat like this and
my braids with beads on them.
I just simply like to wear whatI like to wear, because it's a
(10:15):
form of expressing who I am.
Red is my colors.
I like other colors too, likered, white, blue, black, yellow.
That's one of my favorites.
So I just like to express whatI like and wear it if that makes
sense.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
How did you get so confident to just walk outside
and just fuck y'all.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
People do look at me like I went to Office Depot to
get a banner because you knowI'm promoting my song.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So I have a banner and it's Make Her Shake that Out
.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Now it's like a big banner and I went to Office
Depot and people were just likeI'm like okay, but I'm used to
it, used to people looking at me, so I don't really care.
Like I just do it For a longtime.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What people don't know?
You and I have met before inperson because I was in your
last video.
I was a video vixen, y'all it'sa vibe.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It's a vibe Y'all gonna check out.
It's a Vibe.
She's the star of the musicvideo.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I was a video vixen bitch.
Later on that night we wentback to my room and we had
walked.
There was some function goingon.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It was a concert.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yes, as we were walking, people were like
looking at you or whatever, andI was like what's what's wrong?
Because I had noticed you kindof, and I was like what's what's
, what's the problem?
(12:24):
And you, you said like peoplekeep looking at me.
What did I tell you?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Oh, you said F-10 people.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, because I was like well, did you pick out your
clothes?
And you were like yes.
I said do you like what youhave on?
And you were like yes, so fuckthat bitch.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I still got the shirt FTP it's on my other shirt yeah
.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Like if you picked out your own clothes and if you
put that on and if you likedwhat you had on.
I don't care what nobody elsehave to say.
This is me.
I'll put this on my body today.
(13:22):
I know for a fact that it showsmy big arms.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I put this on and do bitch.
It oozes confidence.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But so do you.
So do you?
You have no idea what you'redoing.
You are making it okay forother males to just be who they
are.
Like you are setting a standard.
(14:02):
You are out here letting peopleknow it is okay.
Yeah, it is it.
It is okay for me to be arapper and look like.
However the fuck I want to looklike.
I don't have to look likeeverybody else.
(14:23):
So do you ever feel like,because you're a rapper, that
there's a double standard in therap game?
Like you have to defend yourauthenticity because you're not
as masculine as people expectyou to be?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
um, there is a double standard, realistically.
But I don't look at that.
I honestly just swivel my waythrough that, burst through that
door and give them tionte.
I feel like I'm carving out myown lane in the music industry,
(15:08):
so they won't have no choice butto, you know, accept people
like me into the music industry.
Like I'm going to break thatdouble standard and I feel like
I already am.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
You are.
You are Like do you think thatthe culture is finally catching
up to letting men, especiallyblack men, be expressive, or do
you think that we're stillfighting this battle?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I feel like it's half and half, to be honest, like we
have a foot in the door but theother foot is still out, um,
and I would say, in themainstream it's portrayed as
acceptance, but in reality it'slike, no, like we don't accept
that.
But you know, like I said,they're not gonna have no choice
but to accept it because it'sgonna be all, all in their face,
all in their timeline.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
So there's this idea that if you dress a certain way
or act a certain way, it must befor clout or for attention.
For attention, how do you stayfocused on what's real for you,
(16:28):
especially in the music world?
Because, like people think, ohwell, he's just acting like that
, like that's not him, likethat's not who he really is um,
how do I stay focused on what'sreal for me?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
honestly, I don't live in social media.
I feel like social media islike a whole nother planet.
Like I live in reality.
Like, honestly, I wake up everyday and forget that.
Like, oh, I have a social mediapresence.
Like I have followers, so thisis how I am in real life, this
is how I dress, this is how I,this is my real personality in
(17:06):
real life, so I just put thatonto social media.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Like um, I didn't hear the last part of your
question as well, because I hadgot a call okay, let me, uh, we,
we to just edit, edit this outand we're going to run it back,
okay.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Sorry for all of the inconveniences.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Okay.
So there's this idea that ifyou dress a certain way or act a
certain way, then it must befor clout or for attention.
Especially in the music worldor in the social media world,
(17:52):
people do dress certain ways,act certain ways because it'll
boost up their, their likes,their follows, their engagement.
I know that that has also beenthrown at you.
So how do you?
You know debate that?
How do you stay focused on whoyou are?
(18:14):
How do you let people know thatthis is like this is me.
This is not for views likeslike this is just me.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I just do me honestly , like I said, throw.
I throw on what I want to wear,like, and I try to, you know,
portray that onto social mediaas well.
I want people to authenticallybe themselves, so I try to, you
know, show the confidence like,show the style and dress how I
want, because I want to inspireother people.
I have gotten lots of dms likeyou inspiring me.
(18:51):
Like my husband is like this,my child is like this.
Yes, so that really makes mewant to do it even more, like I
don't feel, like I do it forwell, I don't I know for a fact.
I don't do it for social mediaor clout, it's just who I am.
I'm authentically Tiantay Loves.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I love that.
Now, speaking of like husbandsand and things, things of that
nature, how do you navigate inthe dating world?
Because I think recently youhad posted you and another girl
(19:31):
and people were like well, thiscan't be his girlfriend, like
this can't be real.
How do you navigate the datingworld?
And how difficult is it forwomen to just accept Tianti as
(19:55):
Tianti?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I feel like when I'm presenting with a woman or when
I'm in front of a woman, I'mjust Tianta, like.
I'm just Tianta, like they'regoing to get the personality,
the vibes, they're going to getit all.
So that's what they see and menavigating it.
I feel like it's notnecessarily me like, oh, like,
(20:21):
can I get your number?
I want to talk to you.
It's not that for me, it's moreof a vibe thing, like we catch
the vibe and it just goes fromthere.
And like I try not to forcethings in the dating world, I
want them to flow into my hands,like, but I want them to flow
into my hands, like I don't wantto force it at all, because I
(20:45):
feel like that wouldn't be real,that wouldn't be a soulmate
twin flame thing for me.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yes, now would.
Would you find that, becauseyou're not what people can
consider the norm, that it'smore difficult for you to find
women that like the real you, ordo they have like certain
(21:16):
expectations for who you'resupposed to be or should?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
should be.
Rather, I feel like like for me, they see me mostly a lot of
women.
I have like 90 of womenfollowing and 10 men.
So women see me on social mediaa lot and I'm quite sure a lot
of women across the unitedstates have saw me.
So it's kind of different forme because they already know who
I am.
And well, the women that I,because they already know who I
(21:44):
am, and well, the women that Ihave, they know who I am and
they know the vibe already.
So it's not like they'resupposed to like expect anything
different.
And if they do expect somethingdifferent, I feel like I don't
know why would you expectsomething different, like you
see?
me on social media all the timefrom what you see like.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Why would you think something different like you see
?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
me on social media all the time.
What you see like why, whywould you?
Think I'm different than likethis is my play.
Like this is real.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I mean, listen, I so me, and there are so many other
women like me.
Y'all, y'all can lie if y'allwant to, but i'ma tell the truth
.
Prince was my husband.
In in in my mind, prince was myhusband.
(22:37):
He could, he could do no wrong.
I didn't care if prince woreheels, if he wore, wore whatever
.
That was my husband and a lotof women were in love with him
and so many people thought thathe was gay and he was like no,
like, I'm not.
Prince got more coochie thanany Prince got coochie and he, I
(23:03):
mean, and beautiful women,prince, baby Prince, could get
any coochie he wanted.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And the crazy thing is like the crazy thing is
they're comparing me to Princenow and they're calling me the
Prince of this, of this time, ofthis generation.
I don't, I wouldn't say I runwith it, but I accept it.
Of course you can give me thattitle.
That's Prince.
It's kind of like the samedynamic as well.
(23:33):
But when people do that, it bepeople in the comments like oh,
don't compare him to Prince,he's nothing like Prince, I
don't know.
So that's why I try not toclaim it, because Prince has
diehard fans and I don't want towalk right here like I am the
prince of this generation,because you know, I don't know.
(23:54):
I feel like I don't want to dothat, I don't want to step into
that door but you said thatPrince has diehard fans.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Do you not think that you do as well?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I do, I do, but you know, Prince is he's Prince.
Well, I'm Tianta, but he'sPrince.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I was just about to say do not dim who you are.
Yes, he, he was prince, but youare tianti yeah yeah, like that
, there is something great aboutbeing tianti, so don't, don't,
(24:42):
don't do that.
But I, I get and and Iunderstand because, like, people
have compared me to otherpeople as well and I'm just like
, oh, like that's a big name tolike live up to.
That's like that's a big name.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
yeah, that's, that's like some girl, that's an artist
and she probably has acomparison to Beyonce.
She wouldn't want to be like,oh, I'm this generation's
Beyonce.
Right, the Beehive would gocrazy and they would.
They would eat her up.
But yeah, I understand yourpoint as well yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I get that.
So, okay, have you ever had tocut someone off because because
they were trying to like, changeyou or make you tone it down,
like, and how, how did thathappen?
What, what was that like?
(25:51):
What was, what was what'swhat's the tea?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
you know I mentioned earlier, like they know me on
social media and I don't knowwhy they would expect me to be
something different from what Ipresent on social media, because
I am authentically Tianti.
I have said that plenty oftimes on social media and I gave
.
I feel like I give that onsocial media.
So it has been women that havetried to make me tone it down
because they had certainexpectations or whatever, and I
(26:20):
guess I'm a little too much forcertain women Like I feel like
you have to be a woman thatactually likes a feminine man,
like you have to like some typeof femininity, like because I
give that.
Yes, there has been women thatwanted me to tone it down but it
just didn't work out Becausetheir version of what they see
(26:43):
in their mind that's not Tianti,that's not Tianti at all and I
don't want to sit here and tryto force myself into someone
else's expectations and makemyself fall into an unhappy
bubble, like, yeah, that's notme.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I wouldn't sacrifice my happiness for someone else's
expectations now has has yourfamily, like because I've I've
met your family, yeah, and theyare like super, like die hard,
tiaz, like that, yes, like theyare.
(27:22):
Have they always been that wayor did they have to like grow
into that or what?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
because they, when I said your mama and daddy, they
were like yeah, yeah, like that,yeah I feel like I I honestly
have grew into my personalitybecause naturally I am a very
introverted person, but overtime I have, you know, became
(27:51):
more open and more out there,like when I was younger.
I was very much so like shy,like the shy kid, don't talk to
me, I'm shy.
And then my mom would be like,okay, go up to this lady at
Walmart and ask her for this.
I'm like no, I'm scared, like Iwas so scared to talk to people
(28:12):
.
But now that they see I havegrew some type of confidence and
I'm able to get on social mediaand be Tianti, like they're
like oh, like this is who he is,and I guess it makes them want
to.
You know, go hard for me 100%.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
No, when I first started following you, you
weren't rapping like I didn'tsee like a whole lot of like
music content.
So what brought this on?
Like what, what, what happenedor what manifested in you to say
(28:57):
, okay, well, I'm, I'm, I'm arapper like this.
This is who I am, this is thisis what what I'm gonna do.
So this is who I am, this iswhat I'm going to do.
So what was the turning point?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I'm a music artist and my dad is a music artist.
My uncle is a music artist, mygrandma is a music artist,
really, yes, everyone.
My family bonds through music.
At the family barbecues, my dadand his brothers will literally
be having a whole wrap-offrapping their songs.
It's crazy because on theoutside, looking in, you'll be
(29:34):
like, oh, what is this?
They're real music artists.
It's crazy.
What are they doing with theirlives?
But that's how we bond, asthrough music, I feel like it
brings us together on a wholeother level and, yeah, that's
something different and I feellike that very much so inspired
me to want to go harder with mymusic.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah, and I love that you are putting yourself and
your music out there and itinspires so many people.
Which brings me to one of myfavorite parts of the podcast
Ask Alethea.
(30:20):
Ask them questions.
Y'all.
Ask them Alethea.
Ask them questions y'all.
Ask them.
So my Ask Alethea question ishey, alethea, I recently started
expressing myself more freelyonline and, while some people
are supportive, a lot of folksare dragging me for being too
(30:43):
much or just doing it forattention.
It's making me question if Ishould tone it down.
How do I stay bold when itfeels like people just want to
shrink me?
Listen, honey, honey.
(31:03):
Ever since I started doing this, people told me I was too loud,
too much, too this, too that,and my answer to this is simply
three letters F-C-P.
Fuck them people.
Fuck them people, cause youneed to do you.
(31:28):
Do not let the opinions of otherpeople make you feel like you
have to shrink.
Do not let the opinions ofother people make you feel like
you have to play small in yourown space.
If this is who you are, be whoyou are and be you out loud.
Be you in their face.
(31:50):
Let them see you.
Let them see you and be okaywith being exactly who you are.
You are not too much, you arejust enough.
In fact, you are more thanenough.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, never tone it down for anybody at all, be you
1,000%, 1 million percent, 1zillion percent.
Never tone it down, always beyou.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Always turn it up Turn it up 1,000%.
Turn it up, amplify that shit,bust their head drums.
Listen, because that is what Ido.
I mean, at the end of the day,I'm going to be me.
(32:39):
Regardless of what I do, I'mgoing to gonna have haters.
We are going to have haters,but we, like I said earlier, we
are going to allow our haters tobe our biggest promoters.
That is their job.
And, speaking of promotion, nowis the time that we take this
(33:08):
mini break to acknowledge oursponsors, and our sponsors for
this podcast is the Candle YardLike?

It's not easy for people,especially in the social media
day and age, to just bethemselves Like everybody's
trying to be somebody else.
They're trying to be a trendand not a trend setter, yes, and
(05:50):
you are just not bothered byanything that people say about
you.
So let's just get get into it.
So people say that you're toofeminine, that you don't fit in
to the mold of what a rappershould look like.
(06:13):
How do you deal with thatpressure and still show up as
you?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
When people say that at this point I really don't
care, care.
It used to bother me a lot, tobe honest, because at one point
I was like um, do I have to fitinto a box?
Do I have to wrap like this?
Do I have to look like this?
Do I have to simmer myself down?
But I went through somethingrecently, a depression that
(06:45):
brought me back to like now whoI am Like and I really don't
care anymore.
I'm going to just do music, putout the music that I like, show
my personality the way I wantto and, you know, give my fans
the music that they want, Givemy fans the Tianta that they
(07:06):
want.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And we want it, we want it, we want you.
We want you as you are.
Have you ever felt the need tocorrect how people perceive you
or their like assumptions aboutyou?
Like, have you ever felt thelike need to like, let me, let
(07:31):
me, let me get this straight.
Like, let me get them together.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
have, you ever felt that?
Yeah, I have done that plentyof times before.
But now I just do this thingwhere I make the hate comments
content, like, instead ofreplying and trying to correct
them.
I reply with content because ifI'm going to reply, I'm going
(07:57):
to make it benefit me in someway, like I'm going to make some
money out of y'all.
I'm going to make some moneyout of y'all hate.
So listen, I'm going to makesome money off y'all hate.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Listen, I am going to make my coins off you bitches,
so y'all keep talking, but asyou're talking, I'm going to la
bank, right, okay, keep talking,keep talking, right, because
all you're doing is making mypockets and you're making people
(08:28):
listen and look at me even more.
I tell everybody your hatersare your biggest promoters.
Yes, you're like you do notneed PR, you, you do not need a
PR team.
Let your haters do it.
(08:48):
And that is exactly what youare doing, and I think that that
is phenomenal.
Listen to anybody who iswatching and listening.
Now, make your haters your PRteam.
Let them promote you.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Put that on the shirt .
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I might just do that because listen, because your
haters promote you more andbetter than anybody else most
definitely so let them do theirjob.
So okay, so, okay.
So you wear what's what, whatyou want, you move how, how you
(09:33):
want, and you just make, youmake the shit look good.
Okay, you, you, you make theshit look good.
Where did that confidence startfor you?
Because that is what that is.
What did that start?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I honestly just like to wear what I want to wear.
I have always been that type ofperson to wear what I want to
wear, Whether it's a crop topand some baggy jeans, whether
it's fully baggy clothing,whether it's a hat like this and
my braids with beads on them.
I just simply like to wear whatI like to wear, because it's a
(10:15):
form of expressing who I am.
Red is my colors.
I like other colors too, likered, white, blue, black, yellow.
That's one of my favorites.
So I just like to express whatI like and wear it if that makes
sense.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
How did you get so confident to just walk outside
and just fuck y'all.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
People do look at me like I went to Office Depot to
get a banner because you knowI'm promoting my song.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So I have a banner and it's Make Her Shake that Out
.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Now it's like a big banner and I went to Office
Depot and people were just likeI'm like okay, but I'm used to
it, used to people looking at me, so I don't really care.
Like I just do it For a longtime.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
What people don't know?
You and I have met before inperson because I was in your
last video.
I was a video vixen, y'all it'sa vibe.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
It's a vibe Y'all gonna check out.
It's a Vibe.
She's the star of the musicvideo.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I was a video vixen bitch.
Later on that night we wentback to my room and we had
walked.
There was some function goingon.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
It was a concert.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yes, as we were walking, people were like
looking at you or whatever, andI was like what's what's wrong?
Because I had noticed you kindof, and I was like what's what's
, what's the problem?
(12:24):
And you, you said like peoplekeep looking at me.
What did I tell you?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Oh, you said F-10 people.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, because I was like well, did you pick out your
clothes?
And you were like yes.
I said do you like what youhave on?
And you were like yes, so fuckthat bitch.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I still got the shirt FTP it's on my other shirt yeah
.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Like if you picked out your own clothes and if you
put that on and if you likedwhat you had on.
I don't care what nobody elsehave to say.
This is me.
I'll put this on my body today.
(13:22):
I know for a fact that it showsmy big arms.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I put this on and do bitch.
It oozes confidence.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
But so do you.
So do you?
You have no idea what you'redoing.
You are making it okay forother males to just be who they
are.
Like you are setting a standard.
(14:02):
You are out here letting peopleknow it is okay.
Yeah, it is it.
It is okay for me to be arapper and look like.
However the fuck I want to looklike.
I don't have to look likeeverybody else.
(14:23):
So do you ever feel like,because you're a rapper, that
there's a double standard in therap game?
Like you have to defend yourauthenticity because you're not
as masculine as people expectyou to be?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
um, there is a double standard, realistically.
But I don't look at that.
I honestly just swivel my waythrough that, burst through that
door and give them tionte.
I feel like I'm carving out myown lane in the music industry,
(15:08):
so they won't have no choice butto, you know, accept people
like me into the music industry.
Like I'm going to break thatdouble standard and I feel like
I already am.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
You are.
You are Like do you think thatthe culture is finally catching
up to letting men, especiallyblack men, be expressive, or do
you think that we're stillfighting this battle?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I feel like it's half and half, to be honest, like we
have a foot in the door but theother foot is still out, um,
and I would say, in themainstream it's portrayed as
acceptance, but in reality it'slike, no, like we don't accept
that.
But you know, like I said,they're not gonna have no choice
but to accept it because it'sgonna be all, all in their face,
all in their timeline.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
So there's this idea that if you dress a certain way
or act a certain way, it must befor clout or for attention.
For attention, how do you stayfocused on what's real for you,
(16:28):
especially in the music world?
Because, like people think, ohwell, he's just acting like that
, like that's not him, likethat's not who he really is um,
how do I stay focused on what'sreal for me?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
honestly, I don't live in social media.
I feel like social media islike a whole nother planet.
Like I live in reality.
Like, honestly, I wake up everyday and forget that.
Like, oh, I have a social mediapresence.
Like I have followers, so thisis how I am in real life, this
is how I dress, this is how I,this is my real personality in
(17:06):
real life, so I just put thatonto social media.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Like um, I didn't hear the last part of your
question as well, because I hadgot a call okay, let me, uh, we,
we to just edit, edit this outand we're going to run it back,
okay.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Sorry for all of the inconveniences.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Okay.
So there's this idea that ifyou dress a certain way or act a
certain way, then it must befor clout or for attention.
Especially in the music worldor in the social media world,
(17:52):
people do dress certain ways,act certain ways because it'll
boost up their, their likes,their follows, their engagement.
I know that that has also beenthrown at you.
So how do you?
You know debate that?
How do you stay focused on whoyou are?
(18:14):
How do you let people know thatthis is like this is me.
This is not for views likeslike this is just me.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I just do me honestly , like I said, throw.
I throw on what I want to wear,like, and I try to, you know,
portray that onto social mediaas well.
I want people to authenticallybe themselves, so I try to, you
know, show the confidence like,show the style and dress how I
want, because I want to inspireother people.
I have gotten lots of dms likeyou inspiring me.
(18:51):
Like my husband is like this,my child is like this.
Yes, so that really makes mewant to do it even more, like I
don't feel, like I do it forwell, I don't I know for a fact.
I don't do it for social mediaor clout, it's just who I am.
I'm authentically Tiantay Loves.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I love that.
Now, speaking of like husbandsand and things, things of that
nature, how do you navigate inthe dating world?
Because I think recently youhad posted you and another girl
(19:31):
and people were like well, thiscan't be his girlfriend, like
this can't be real.
How do you navigate the datingworld?
And how difficult is it forwomen to just accept Tianti as
(19:55):
Tianti?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I feel like when I'm presenting with a woman or when
I'm in front of a woman, I'mjust Tianta, like.
I'm just Tianta, like they'regoing to get the personality,
the vibes, they're going to getit all.
So that's what they see and menavigating it.
I feel like it's notnecessarily me like, oh, like,
(20:21):
can I get your number?
I want to talk to you.
It's not that for me, it's moreof a vibe thing, like we catch
the vibe and it just goes fromthere.
And like I try not to forcethings in the dating world, I
want them to flow into my hands,like, but I want them to flow
into my hands, like I don't wantto force it at all, because I
(20:45):
feel like that wouldn't be real,that wouldn't be a soulmate
twin flame thing for me.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yes, now would.
Would you find that, becauseyou're not what people can
consider the norm, that it'smore difficult for you to find
women that like the real you, ordo they have like certain
(21:16):
expectations for who you'resupposed to be or should?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
should be.
Rather, I feel like like for me, they see me mostly a lot of
women.
I have like 90 of womenfollowing and 10 men.
So women see me on social mediaa lot and I'm quite sure a lot
of women across the unitedstates have saw me.
So it's kind of different forme because they already know who
I am.
And well, the women that I,because they already know who I
(21:44):
am, and well, the women that Ihave, they know who I am and
they know the vibe already.
So it's not like they'resupposed to like expect anything
different.
And if they do expect somethingdifferent, I feel like I don't
know why would you expectsomething different, like you
see?
me on social media all the timefrom what you see like.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Why would you think something different like you see
?
Speaker 2 (22:07):
me on social media all the time.
What you see like why, whywould you?
Think I'm different than likethis is my play.
Like this is real.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I mean, listen, I so me, and there are so many other
women like me.
Y'all, y'all can lie if y'allwant to, but i'ma tell the truth
.
Prince was my husband.
In in in my mind, prince was myhusband.
(22:37):
He could, he could do no wrong.
I didn't care if prince woreheels, if he wore, wore whatever
.
That was my husband and a lotof women were in love with him
and so many people thought thathe was gay and he was like no,
like, I'm not.
Prince got more coochie thanany Prince got coochie and he, I
(23:03):
mean, and beautiful women,prince, baby Prince, could get
any coochie he wanted.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And the crazy thing is like the crazy thing is
they're comparing me to Princenow and they're calling me the
Prince of this, of this time, ofthis generation.
I don't, I wouldn't say I runwith it, but I accept it.
Of course you can give me thattitle.
That's Prince.
It's kind of like the samedynamic as well.
(23:33):
But when people do that, it bepeople in the comments like oh,
don't compare him to Prince,he's nothing like Prince, I
don't know.
So that's why I try not toclaim it, because Prince has
diehard fans and I don't want towalk right here like I am the
prince of this generation,because you know, I don't know.
(23:54):
I feel like I don't want to dothat, I don't want to step into
that door but you said thatPrince has diehard fans.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Do you not think that you do as well?
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I do, I do, but you know, Prince is he's Prince.
Well, I'm Tianta, but he'sPrince.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I was just about to say do not dim who you are.
Yes, he, he was prince, but youare tianti yeah yeah, like that
, there is something great aboutbeing tianti, so don't, don't,
(24:42):
don't do that.
But I, I get and and Iunderstand because, like, people
have compared me to otherpeople as well and I'm just like
, oh, like that's a big name tolike live up to.
That's like that's a big name.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
yeah, that's, that's like some girl, that's an artist
and she probably has acomparison to Beyonce.
She wouldn't want to be like,oh, I'm this generation's
Beyonce.
Right, the Beehive would gocrazy and they would.
They would eat her up.
But yeah, I understand yourpoint as well yeah, I get that.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I get that.
So, okay, have you ever had tocut someone off because because
they were trying to like, changeyou or make you tone it down,
like, and how, how did thathappen?
What, what was that like?
(25:51):
What was, what was what'swhat's the tea?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
you know I mentioned earlier, like they know me on
social media and I don't knowwhy they would expect me to be
something different from what Ipresent on social media, because
I am authentically Tianti.
I have said that plenty oftimes on social media and I gave
.
I feel like I give that onsocial media.
So it has been women that havetried to make me tone it down
because they had certainexpectations or whatever, and I
(26:20):
guess I'm a little too much forcertain women Like I feel like
you have to be a woman thatactually likes a feminine man,
like you have to like some typeof femininity, like because I
give that.
Yes, there has been women thatwanted me to tone it down but it
just didn't work out Becausetheir version of what they see
(26:43):
in their mind that's not Tianti,that's not Tianti at all and I
don't want to sit here and tryto force myself into someone
else's expectations and makemyself fall into an unhappy
bubble, like, yeah, that's notme.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I wouldn't sacrifice my happiness for someone else's
expectations now has has yourfamily, like because I've I've
met your family, yeah, and theyare like super, like die hard,
tiaz, like that, yes, like theyare.
(27:22):
Have they always been that wayor did they have to like grow
into that or what?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
because they, when I said your mama and daddy, they
were like yeah, yeah, like that,yeah I feel like I I honestly
have grew into my personalitybecause naturally I am a very
introverted person, but overtime I have, you know, became
(27:51):
more open and more out there,like when I was younger.
I was very much so like shy,like the shy kid, don't talk to
me, I'm shy.
And then my mom would be like,okay, go up to this lady at
Walmart and ask her for this.
I'm like no, I'm scared, like Iwas so scared to talk to people
(28:12):
.
But now that they see I havegrew some type of confidence and
I'm able to get on social mediaand be Tianti, like they're
like oh, like this is who he is,and I guess it makes them want
to.
You know, go hard for me 100%.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
No, when I first started following you, you
weren't rapping like I didn'tsee like a whole lot of like
music content.
So what brought this on?
Like what, what, what happenedor what manifested in you to say
(28:57):
, okay, well, I'm, I'm, I'm arapper like this.
This is who I am, this is thisis what what I'm gonna do.
So this is who I am, this iswhat I'm going to do.
So what was the turning point?
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I'm a music artist and my dad is a music artist.
My uncle is a music artist, mygrandma is a music artist,
really, yes, everyone.
My family bonds through music.
At the family barbecues, my dadand his brothers will literally
be having a whole wrap-offrapping their songs.
It's crazy because on theoutside, looking in, you'll be
(29:34):
like, oh, what is this?
They're real music artists.
It's crazy.
What are they doing with theirlives?
But that's how we bond, asthrough music, I feel like it
brings us together on a wholeother level and, yeah, that's
something different and I feellike that very much so inspired
me to want to go harder with mymusic.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah, and I love that you are putting yourself and
your music out there and itinspires so many people.
Which brings me to one of myfavorite parts of the podcast
Ask Alethea.
(30:20):
Ask them questions.
Y'all.
Ask them Alethea.
Ask them questions y'all.
Ask them.
So my Ask Alethea question ishey, alethea, I recently started
expressing myself more freelyonline and, while some people
are supportive, a lot of folksare dragging me for being too
(30:43):
much or just doing it forattention.
It's making me question if Ishould tone it down.
How do I stay bold when itfeels like people just want to
shrink me?
Listen, honey, honey.
(31:03):
Ever since I started doing this, people told me I was too loud,
too much, too this, too that,and my answer to this is simply
three letters F-C-P.
Fuck them people.
Fuck them people, cause youneed to do you.
(31:28):
Do not let the opinions of otherpeople make you feel like you
have to shrink.
Do not let the opinions ofother people make you feel like
you have to play small in yourown space.
If this is who you are, be whoyou are and be you out loud.
Be you in their face.
(31:50):
Let them see you.
Let them see you and be okaywith being exactly who you are.
You are not too much, you arejust enough.
In fact, you are more thanenough.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yeah, never tone it down for anybody at all, be you
1,000%, 1 million percent, 1zillion percent.
Never tone it down, always beyou.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Always turn it up Turn it up 1,000%.
Turn it up, amplify that shit,bust their head drums.
Listen, because that is what Ido.
I mean, at the end of the day,I'm going to be me.
(32:39):
