Speaker 1 (00:01):
What at the slip service. I'm Angela, Ye.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm g Maguire Geordie your I'm Angela White.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
You can call me this episode, so get confused and
Angela and Angela today, I'm you, but we haven't engaged
couple on the cow to be loved to see? Yes, yes,
I always done anyway, But now congratulations. How did you

(00:30):
know what ring to pick?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
To be honest, her personality like speaks volumes to me,
so I felt like whatever ring that I got was
going to be something that people would be like, like vibrant,
something that's vibrant also too if you look at it
on the side, I know how she'd be having her
nails and I'd be wanting to compliment certain things. So

(00:53):
doubt pay attention to detail when it comes in.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Do sometimes yes?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
And it feels good too, like on your finger.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yes, it feels like it's supposed to be there because
it doesn't even it feels like it's a part of me.
You know how Sometimes we might wear something and it's
like you feel like I can feel this on me,
Like I can't feel this on me right, so I
know it's for me.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
And when you proposed were like you did this in
front of people. This is at Howard University. Okay, So
talk to me about that day where you're nervous, like,
what was going on behind the scenes, how'd.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
You plan it? I was super nervous. So I planned
it with my friend Troy Gunn's my business partner. He's
somebody who I been He's been around in my career
just from the jump since like twenty twelve, and I
always talked to him for certain advice and certain things.
And when me and Angela got together, he was one
of the people that I told and he always just

(01:54):
gave me advice and guidance on how to move, how
to understand, how to understand a woman, him being older
than me, just giving me examples. So me and him
were planning to go out there to perform because we
were performing for Howard Homecoming. I got invited to perform
out there and we were on a zoom call and
one of the guys who was putting on the show
was like, yo, you know it would be dope. You know,

(02:18):
I know you and your fiance a wife at the
because some people already thought that we were married, right,
So he said it would be dope if you you
know did something with her on the stage, and I
was like, you know, it would be dope bringing her
out in her city with her family, my family, her
mom being there. She had just released a single that

(02:40):
we worked on together called Fabulous or her Able to Perform.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Should be Kamala's song. Yeah, right, go ahead. Sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I just felt like it was just the time and
place I really wanted. I wanted to prepare myself to
enter the next chapter I've been. I really wanted to
do it a while ago, and I just wanted to
make sure that I was stable as a man before
I made that decision, just because I know the responsibilities
that come with it. So I wanted to make sure
that I was right with myself. I was right with God,

(03:11):
I was right with her, and we had a mutual understanding.
And yeah, I was like, this is it. Like I'm
gonna I'm gonna sing to her because she loves my
she loves my boys, and I'm gonna and I'm gonna
do this in front of everybody so they see, like
how how I look at her, Like I love showing
her off, I love putting her on a pedestal, and

(03:33):
I love bringing her up and like it's like it's
hard for me to go places and not bring her
up if it's a meeting, a business meeting, just because
this is like really my friend and that was it
was the time. So yeah, she's a real one and
it's kind of hard as a man right now. It's

(03:56):
sometimes it seems like it's a little bit tough to
like when you find a real one by yourself, and
you know, people might be as cliche, but like up
and down, she's been there, you know what I mean
for certain things. I'm a Capricorn, so them so you
already know you don't speak so whatever goes on in
our life, we usually just keep that stuff inside and

(04:18):
we don't never let nobody know what we're going through.
And she was one of the only people who I
was able to open up with on a vulnerable level
and let her know what I was going through.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
What's mostly like things that you were going through life.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, it was really life, I would say life, financial
things career wise, like trying to understand balance the music
industry shifting, so you know, trying to understand how to
move in this industry and you're watching certain things go on.
It's like how to have it keep your integrity, but

(04:56):
also I love the fact that she's a family woman,
and I think that that meant a lot to me
the most because I'm I'm very tight with my families
and my loved ones and my close ones, and to
see how she interacts with her people's and her kids
and stuff is just like, oh, no, this is She's
the one, you know what I'm saying. So I just
felt like that. I felt like that was I felt
like that was there and she her song.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
So Angela, of course, we know you were surprised, right,
But were you like anticipating the proposals at this point?

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Were you like, I know, he gonna propose its coming
any day now.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I kind of had a feeling, but not really. I
didn't know like exactly when, like how no, but it
was perfect though. It was good because it was in
d C. So Mom was already there, right, you know
what I mean? And then afterwards everybody was like, well
I knew, I knew. I'm like, how did everybody else?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
I mean, it's supposed to be like that. You're supposed
to be surprised because you got to like also, did
you tell her family because you got to ask for
permission or Okay.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah, I definitely spoke to her mom spoke to like
she was.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Very happy about it too.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Ye, tough crowd, but she likes you, my mom. She
even before this happened, she's like, y'all need her to
get married?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, do that.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
But yeah, it was definitely like the time in Guy's
time and it was perfect. It just seemed like everything
that they just went smooth.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
And what happened after that, congratulations, it's all the blur.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
We did a family gather and I'm like, wait, what
do we do?

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
We ate food. Do you know when you're going to
get married or is it just like we're just engaged
right now? We're going to figure that out. We have
a date.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, we said we picked the date already. Yeah, definitely
pick the date.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
Yeah, now we picked the date, but we're like, if
something happens quicker and we feel different, then it will
expedite it.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
We have a day. You think it's going to be
a big wedding or is it going to be in
for me?

Speaker 2 (07:23):
I want a smaller wedding. I don't want like a
lot of people there, like a lot of different energies.
I just want like the right people. That's supposed to
be there. Okay, you know what I mean, not just
like everybody people. Yeah, like if I don't have if
I can't pick up the phone and call you, then no,
you're not invited.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I what do you want? You want to You're okay
with that?

she gets around her family, Like she just like all
the stress, whatever she's going through, she just pulls back
and she's just Angela and it's just like you get
the funny goofy, the dancing, eating and walking around just comfortable.
So I know that wherever however we do the wedding,

(08:18):
like we got to make sure that the family is
definitely there.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
You have a big family too, Yeah okay, yeah, who
would like to first? Like who knew first that this
was going to be a relationship?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Who liked to first?

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Because it starts with somebody tell the truth?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Who liked to?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I think it was mutual. I know that when she came.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
So I pursued Derek.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Okay, so you like first.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
She did but it was crazy.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, it just happened.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
I say my part parts, and then we're here, because
then were we got some questions for y'all, questions to
ask your partner before marriage. But first we're going to
get through this.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Okay, okay, and a hmm and the shorts of it.
I asked Derek to go out with me.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
No, you've missed the party.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
So I let him go because I don't know how
long y'all long?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Okay, So I was, I was chilling. I get a
d M and she was like, hey, I'm interested on
getting into the studio. Talk to a mutual friend and
he said it'd be dope if we work and get
in the studio. So automatically, I'm one of those people like,
if you want to work, let's do it. Like I'm not.
I don't look at your numbers. I don't look at

(09:36):
how big you are. Like if you love music just
as much as I love music, then let's work. Let's
do it. So I said, all right, let's do it.
Let's set up a time, Let's set up a session
and do it professionally and make sure it was good.
So we gave it a day. That day, I had
my partner Chibu pull up on me. My boy Mo
was there and I told him, I said, listen, we

(09:56):
got a dope session today. I said, we got to
make sure the room is not We got to make
sure that it smells good, like, we got to make
sure it's clean. I had the assistance to make sure that.
Oh yeah, for sure. I wanted to make sure that
the assistants had everything set up for her. So we're
all just waiting for the time. So she pulls up
in a Rose Royce. Okay, mind you Yeah. I'm like, okay,

(10:18):
And it's funny because she don't even really drive the
road voice like that, so I'm like, it had to
be some type of you feel me. She pulled up
and then we had a regular conversation just talking about life.
She was telling me about her sobriety and everything that
she was going through, talking to me about her businesses,

(10:39):
brought up Hearts Pure, and then we started just talking
about music because that's how I usually like to work.
I like to get to know the person that I'm
working with because music is still energy, you know what
I'm saying. So you want to make sure that you
get the right vibes because the power of the tongue is.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
A real thing. Your impression of her when she's.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
About her business. Okay, That's why I was making sure
all my friends was on point, and I was making sure, like, yo,
we got to make sure the engineering sounds right. We
got to make sure that she's comfortable, We got to
make sure that the vibe is said, because we don't want.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
It was clet.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
I was impressed.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, everything was good. So we were talking and then
I asked her to played me some records, and she
played me some songs and it was one that I
was just like, man, this song is it's great. It
was Hollywood. Oh yeah, and I was like, I really
love this song. And she was just telling me what
she was trying to go with her music, and what
really got my attention was that it was the complete
opposite of what I thought her physics wouldn't beat. And

(11:40):
that's really what caught my attention first, because I was
just like, Wow, she's actually versatile and she understands demographic
and she's diverse to be able to tap into different
markets and we're not really seeing that too much in
artistry now. So I played her well, she played me
the stuff, and then I ran through some beats with
my friend and then.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Then so we ran through the beats. We ran through
some beats and Derek was like, all right, I'll be
right back. I'm like, where is he going? So he
goes inside the booth, snaps on this beat, right, I
mean like a full like like a full song, comes out,
plays it. I'm like, damn, this is really good, and like,

(12:24):
how did you? I'm just like amazed of like how good?
Like he just did this and didn't write it or
just went in there and just killed it. So he
looks at me and says, yeah, you ready to go
in and try it? I was like, I was like
that fast. I was like I can't go home and
live with it, like do that. And I was like,
you know what, I got this, I'm gonna go in there.

(12:46):
I was like, all right, course try it. I couldn't
get it. I couldn't get it, but it was cool.
I was like, listen, I gotta take this beat home
and I gotta like practice this because this is like
too hard for me right now. And he was like
that's fine. And then after that, I was like, well,
play me some of your music, and we started going
through some of his music, and then after that, I
was like, Hey, do you want to go to this

(13:07):
show with me? Did I actually that night or what?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I So that's what really, That's when I think I
kind of liked her first at that moment, because she
actually asked about me, okay, and usually when I meet people,
it's always about them.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Oh that's an interesting dynamic, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
So she actually like cared to know what I'm working
on and to really get to know who I am.
After I just went in and did something for her
and I was like wow, Like, so I'm playing music
and she's like really tuned in, like she's giving me feedback.
She's like, oh, bring this back. I think you could
change this. Oh this is cool. I'm like, Okay, nobody
comes into my studio and likes that. It's usually like oh,

(13:46):
what we got And then I do something. It's like
I'll see you later. I won't hear him till the
time for paperwork. So I'm like okay, So I'm playing
her stuff like I'm really liking your music, and then
she says to me, I just want to be like
a flying the wall when you create and just like
be there, just like my input. And I was like, wow,
like that, that's dope because nobody. I usually record myself,

(14:09):
like She'll tell y'all be in the studio by myself,
be just me. I sometimes engineered myself. And after she left,
I asked my friends in there. I was like, yo,
and my tripping yeah, because I'm telling because they've been

(14:31):
in the studio with me, with endless artists. You know
what I'm saying. So we know you know. So I'm like, yo,
what so one of my boy she was like, no, Bro,
I'm telling you, Bro, I'm telling you, Bro, she's the one.
She's the one. I said, you think so my other one, Mo,
he was like, you know, just feeling around. He's younger,
so he's just like you know. So I'm like, man, listen, bro,
I know my instinct. I said it was something there.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, you felt divided.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I said it was something there. And then she started
sending me playlists. She sent me a playlist yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
It was just like getting that and listening to it.
I was like, wow, she's It's like she's telling me something.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Right, and music is your love language, honestly, because from
what I'm hearing, the fact that she heard about your music,
about what you have, what you're working on and that's
into a playlist. Was well done?

Speaker 3 (16:47):

Speaker 4 (16:48):

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I had invited Derek. I was like, Hey, do you

That's straight to the FaceTime okay, And he was like
he couldn't come.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Oh he was busy.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
I was like, day, I was trying to You were
trying to keep a business.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
Business. I was trying to keep a business.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
But then that also probably piqued your interest a little
bit because who turns like who would just say no
like that?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
I was like, honestly, I was like, he don't want
to go, I go to sleep.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
Noah. I had told her that I had like a
dinner meeting because because like I said, you know, being
being in the music and I work with a lot
of women. You know what I'm saying, You.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Have worked with a lot of women aspect this Dallion
Nicki min I.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah, so I always try to make sure that I
keep business. Business is business. You know what I'm saying.
So and she hit me up out was like I
don't know, I got like a dinner meeting. But then
I thought it to myself and I was like, yo,
I never had a woman actually asked me on a date, right,
And I was like, why would I turn it down?

(18:14):
Like this is? So I called it back and I
was like, you know what, I'll go and I was like, yeah,
she had me in the Ferrari whoa play room by
cream with the top down.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Good time.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Was like a little exits. Was it weird for you?
Because you know she is a celebrity and everybody knows her,
and so for you, like how did you handle that?
Because sometimes that can be difficult.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
We had a blast when we got there, y'all. We
listened to the concert. We was holding hands in Jamaican
f We was in funnel cake. This right here was
the best part. Right, So I forgot who was with
our friend Monique. She came back with two funnel cakes,
one with scrauwberry and one with chocolate. And I was
like looking at him like, dang, you don't want this

(19:02):
strawberry one. So I'm done for it. And I do
not like chocolate like that. So then when she asked, like,
which one do y'all want, I was like, you picked
When he picked that chocolate, you were like yeah, I
was like this and then he's a chocolate fanatic, love chocolate, and.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
You don't got so y'all were holding hands on the
first day. That is so.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Like a movie. That's why I was like, nah, this
is I never experienced that before, Like when And I
think when we were texting after that, I think I
asked her like, do you believe in love at first sight?
I think I asked you that in the text, and
like she was sending me all these like horoscope stuff
with capricorns and tourists, and I'm like pretty compatible, you

(19:50):
know what I mean. Like I said, I'm in a
space at that time, like fully work mode, Like I
wasn't thinking about getting into no relationship nothing. I was
on some hustle, want to stack my money up, and
I really want to go hard and work. And when
I realized what we had, she was the one who
told me. She was like, so, how often do you

(20:13):
go to the studio? And I was like, I'm there
every day. She was like, you can't do that, and
I was like, what do you mean? She was like,
I just feel like you you sometimes you just need
to do other things. And like that's that's where the
part comes. When we were friends first, because she was
giving me advice on how to move and I'm like,
you know, you're right, Like I did mad stuff, I

(20:33):
got songs that's about to come out. We just did
the Madden soundtrack. Like it's a whole bunch of stuff
coming out. So I literally shut my studio down I
think for like what three months. Oh wow, that was
big because that's my that's my first love. So if
I love somebody just as much as I love my music,
it's real. So I shut the studio down for three
months and I spent three months with her every.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Day, every day, every day, driving back and forth.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah, like I really wanted to build up that that
foundation and that friendship that was Like that was like
strong me because I know how good of a friend
I am.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Right, I love you first, maybe me, I thank you.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
I think it might have been you might have been.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
What's happening?

Speaker 4 (21:24):
She said, I love you?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
And did you say I think it was me?

Speaker 1 (21:28):
I don't know, but you're both, I said, love at
first sight. Yeah, at first, and then that's that is
how has this affected even like your music too, because
I can imagine, you know, being in love and doing

(21:50):
something that you stepped out and did something that's different
for you. You know, like you said, shut down the
studio for three months, spent every day with somebody and
you know, broke the rule basically that you had set
for yourself.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah, to be honest, it's probably been one of the
most might have been the most easy but difficult moments
of my career when it comes to making music. Because
for other people it's their life, but for me, I
have to be very intentional on what I say in
my music because it represents who I am as a man,

(22:23):
who I am as a person. So my music is very,
very vulnerable, but it's very leaning towards relationship. And I
don't know, I don't want to say this, but I
mean it seems like it where music is right now,
it's like there's missing a vulnerability, oh for sure. And
it's like, if you're gonna do it, you have to
actually showcase that you're actually living like that in the

(22:47):
music for people to understand it and for it to resonate.
Being said, you know what I'm saying, so like a
lot of my music right now, and it's just like,
man it we were just literally talking about this in
the car. I'm like, is this the climate to put
it out? And I think it is, like she really
motivates me, and I think I'm just I'm just stuck

(23:07):
in my ways because I've done so many big songs
for big artists. I think I put so much pressure
on myself as.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
You Savage Remix.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I mean, that's cute, appreciate it. So it's like, but
but she gives me confidence though, and she She's like,
she asked me to put music out, so as long
as I like it, she likes it, my close friends
likes it, my family likes it. That's all, you know
what I'm saying. So that's what we were really talking
about is getting ready.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Then did music together too, which is amazing. And this song,
I mean, like I was telling you before, I'm fabulous,
that's amazing that my story right now, that song is amazing. Yeah,
And I know, even from when you first started doing music,
people have always talked about how talented you are. I
remember it's super early on.

Speaker 5 (23:52):
They were like we were in Houston, you remember we
were in Houston or listening to music.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yes, that was maybe like six.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Years go crazy and you had some fire songs yet
because I was even debasing on like this stuff.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Type of yeah that we was loving.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah, yeah, holding onto a lot.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
You got them all, by the way, you do? Are
you writing a special song for the wedding or like
what's going to happen? Because I feel like, oh my god,
did you even think about that?

Speaker 3 (24:24):
No?

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I haven't thought about that.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
Yeah, Angela, just get your idea. You need like a
whole little wedding EP.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
I feel like he's looking like.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
No, it's crazy. That's a song that I wrote a
while ago for Justin Bieber and it's called I Do.
He never used it, and it's my mom's favorite song
and she brings it up literally all the time, and
I'm like, no, mom, not mom, but actually, like wedding
song by that might be something on revisit And.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
You know, Angela, he played it for me. I don't
know the words robate him though, Okay, but now I
have to revisit it.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Something, especially when it happened. I could feel it now.
You guys also decided to join love and hip hop
and when y'all made that announcement, people were like, oh
my god, why would you do.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
From her?

Speaker 5 (25:16):
The first question being back in Miami for you? Say
how I was being back in Miami for you?

Speaker 1 (25:24):
It's cool.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, it's like I just do my work, come home, eat, repeat,
that's it. Yes, it's smooth. It's not like how it
was back in the day.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Of course, not the person.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
If it was back I think if it was still
like those times, it's just still not the same. Like
it's like you had to have been there, ye, and.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
If it wasn't just missed out.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
It's not like now, like even when I go there
and I go to different places, I'm like, this is what.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Nothing, it's not it's just like we just got older.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
I'm like, did we get older? Is it just?

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Both we're mature, aren't the same?

Speaker 1 (26:06):
That's happening in those days? Are we're talking what ten, twelve,
fourteen years ago? We used to be in Miami? Yeas
mess fight club?

Speaker 5 (26:20):
Remember the first day we met I for somebody and
listen the birthday I lived talking y'all in Miami.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, I met you in Miami too.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
The first time I married it was in the club
and she got into a fight. Yeah, but you know
she wont to.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Talk about it.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Dang.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I was just telling Derek. I was like, man, I've
known my my friends since I was like twenty years old,
nineteen to twenty. Time fly and do.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
You feel like everybody's happy to see where you are
in life right now? That's that's an amazing thing.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Like everybody I've seen, like in the past, just even
from me first coming out, all the way up to now,
they're like, dang, but it's always that look like finally
you stop and listen, you know what I mean type.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
You always had it in you.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Yes, that's what it was.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
That's exactly what it is.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
You always. So what was behind the plan or the
decision to join love and hip hop? Tell me how
that even happened, Like who's approached you guys? You know,
what are the things? Because I know you said you
want to show like a positive relationship. I feel it already,
But talk to me about what happened behind the scenes
and how you guys were approached.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
For me, I think it is what it is, love
and hip hop, Like this is the love and hippy
brings the hop, you know. So as far as like
the music and the love behind that. I feel like
maybe over the years, like it kind of just got messy.
But you got to think too, like drama cells like

(27:50):
and I get it, like I've been I've been there,
done that. But like now if you could bring like
that positive light, that's even more of a plus because
it's like nobody want to keep living in drama or
living in fear or just all these different things. Like
it's like eventually you have to come from out of
it because everybody wants that fairy tale, that that happy
ending exactly.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
And I think you've learned a lot just from being
having your own shows and knowing like how to maneuver
and through things and you know, make it happen. Sometimes
it's hard for people. What about you, Derek, this is
a new territory for you.

Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah. So my my good friend Amber Revenan, Yeah, that's
my dog. I met her working with Dream Dog years
ago and she always was just like, yo, you need
to do TV. You need to showcase what you do
in the studio and like real time, And I kept
telling her, not, it's not really my thing, Like I

(28:44):
really want to focus on, you know, moving in a
certain light because you know, it's a narrative. So she
was doing college here great time.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
The time. I was so proud of my friend.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
It was good.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
And even to see you on there with her to
come and support her, I shed a little tear.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
I did, Wow, thank you because you could tell that
she needed.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
You in that moment when you showed up to be
with her, and like you could tell that she was
kind of it was when she was going through doubting
herself and you know, really wanting to work hard at
completing the program, and for you to show up and
be there for her and you know, me knowing her,
I could tell that that's what she needed in that moment.
And this was my first time ever seeing you and
like in y'all as the unit as a couple, and

(29:32):
I just was like, you know, yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
You seem very nice. Yeah yeah, very genuine, very genuine.
You can show that the love is like real, even
from that moment. I like College Hell as a show,
Like I like the way that that show is structured
as far as like you know, and it probably does
encourage some people to be like you know.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
What I needed.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
I'll be watching it like I need to go back
to school, I need to participate in sell of these competitions.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
I'm like, we talking want to go back to school.
She called me about all the stuff that she was completing,
and I'm just like, man, is great.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Let me take it seriously this time seriously. She took
it very seriously. And I think as an entrepreneur and
as a person who's been through a lot like that
is something perfect for you because you know life experiences
and things that you've done and things that you created
and the businesses that you have. Now applying that to

(30:25):
school and help them take it to another level.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
It was very positive.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
All right, I needed it. We do have these questions
to ask your partner before marriage. Okay, are you all
ready for this? Because this is a this is what
they say. Getting married is a big deal. You need
to make sure you're on the same page. So here's
some things that you need to discuss before you get married,
and we're going to ask them right here. Okay, how
do you handle disagreements because it's always going to be disagreements.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
I think we just talked about like about it.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
We're just we're just talking through.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
We don't really I'm like, I think because when we
do communicate, like we communicate it as a full circle,
not like a half half way type of thing. Like
if I say something or if Derek say something, we
kind of say everything, so it's not no questionable thing.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
So you put it all on the table and then
you're able to get clarity. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Yeah, I'm like, we don't ye think about it.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Okay, why do you want to get married?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Because why why get married?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Because God's going to see that and give us favor
and love us more and show grace and we'll get
to head. It's just like all these different things and
I want to show have I want to have unity,
I want to have a family with you, and I
want to do things the right way.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
I want to get married because I feel like I
come from a two parent household, and watching how my
mom and dad interact and just seeing how me and
my sister were raised, I was just like, man, I
want to kind of follow the footsteps. But I also
believe in building, and I think the best way that

(32:21):
we could build together outside of just building our own empire,
is just building and showcasing to the world like what
real love is and like real genuineness is, and showcasing
like black love. People say black love, but like, you know,
like to really showcase it.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
I feel not for real, oh my goodness, elaborate.

Speaker 3 (32:47):
Now. I just feel like marriage has always just been
something that people sometimes say, and then it became like
a It seemed like people took it as a joke
at one point, Like when I was younger, it's like, oh, yeah,
and getting me very married. They had games where they
would say, oh, your marriage, da da da da. And
then it's like when I hit mid twenties, it's like, oh,

(33:08):
I'm not getting married doing this, And I'm just like,
I don't know if I feel it, but if I
want to move right, move in faith and just really
like do it the right way, I want to make
sure that we like packaged as a unit and we're
married together. So I think that that's and you deserve
to be married.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
To any single friends.

Speaker 7 (33:33):
It's so hard of here, so hard here.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
I was.

Speaker 7 (33:38):
I wanted to ask both of y'all, like, as somebody
who's in my thirties, kind of what you were saying about.
People love the drama, and people love the non committal
casual relationships. They don't want that vulnerability, not in the music,
not in the entertainment, how do you date in that space?
And where are the good guys at? Truly, truly, she's

(34:00):
the very truth.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I can't tell you. I came upon.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Mind, man, you gotta go on the DMS.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
What did you say?

Speaker 4 (34:09):
I don't know what to say, though, Well, I think
I think that it was.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
It was one of those things too, because even with
the music, right, I was like, I'm not doing this
music stuff.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
No more.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Right, I'm like, I'm done with this. I'm not messing
with it. Scram I'm sorry, I'm gonna keep going on now.
But I was really done with it. Then I started
doing my acting and by me doing something else, it
brought me back to music. But it brought me back
to Derek also too. So it's like kind of like
stepping out and doing things what you're mostly passionate about.

(34:41):
It should bring you into something like some type of
good relationship somehow, some.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Way, you know, like brings positivity.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Okay, there we go, Yeah to wrap that up.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Yeah, okay, all.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Right, Now here's the next one. What are you guys
gonna do with your last names?

Speaker 4 (35:00):
Are you going to hyphenate?

Speaker 5 (35:01):
No, that's You're gonna go from Angela White to Angela gray. Yes,
I love that.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
When we were doing.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
You were talking about that people in the comments, it
was like, hey, miss Malono, I'm like young crazy. It's
great that it is still a color though, right to right?

Speaker 1 (35:21):
What's the odds different color? It's all right? Now, how
much alone time do you need? You guys were together
for three months straight. You know you're together now you're
going to be filming together, but sometimes you do need
some alone time. So when it comes to that, how
much alone time do you feel like you need? Or
you're always going to be up under each other?

Speaker 3 (35:42):
I know. So the thing with her is and that's why,
like I said, being a friend first matters. You're able
to see patterns. So for me, I know that when
she's in hustle mode, it's time for me to be
in hustle mode. I know when she gets king and
dream that's her time to be a mother. You know
what I'm saying, Like I let her have that time

(36:02):
because that's what she deserves and her kids love her,
you know what I'm saying. So every time the day's
come like all right, let me do my thing, but
we always come back and we know like, Okay, this
is what it's gonna be. But I think we respect
each other's time, Like when I have to work, like
I let her know. She lets me know when she's working.
Like we really communicate, like I can't. I don't even

(36:23):
like even if we went through our text right now
and scrolled up to our first one, they probably take
a while because we communicate. We just let each other know,
like what's going on here, I got a meeting or
meeting with this person. She lets me know I'm going
to be going to the salon. And plus too, it's like,
you know, she's she's a business woman, so I feel

(36:44):
like for her to really lock in, you can't be
underneath her, okay, Like I would feel like a terrible
man while she's working, because at the end of the day,
she's doing her things. She got her salon, she has
the clothing store that she just open, she's a mother,
she's doing music, she's doing acting. It's just so much
that she got her hands in. So for me, it's

(37:05):
like it motivates me to just be like, Okay, let
me go ahead and make sure that I got a
schedule set and shout out to my manager Troy because
he sure I'll call him, like lookization you know him,
I'll be like, Yo, we got to make sure that
we on point with this, I said, because she's doing this,
I want to make sure why she's doing that. We
got this going on, so we all, you know, we celebrate,

(37:27):
we come together. We could really have a good time.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Great time.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Balance is key. What are your non negotiables? For example,
if you have a long standing tradition of going on
holiday with your friends once a year, did your partner
know how much that means to you? If they always
have Sunday lunch with their mom, are you fine working
around that?

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Like?

Speaker 1 (37:48):
What are some non negotiables?

Speaker 2 (37:51):
I don't really have any?

Speaker 1 (37:54):
You like, Nope, we're good.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
She has won. She just didn't say. I think that's
the only one that we She just loves.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Oh she's not leaving l A.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
She said it here.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah, I just I just I love it for work,
and I love the fact that I have.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
To say that my kids are there.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Yeah, let's not forget I love it my kids there. Okay,
Well that is not negotiable. That would be That's why.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
That's why I'll never bring even when I talk to
like my friends like you in l A, I'll be
like I mean, I really like Texas and I and
I've been doing research on Dallas. I mean, I've been
doing research on Dallas. They're building the Universal Studios and Frisco.
So I was like, h M, might be dope to
kind of get a property out there that's around, like

(38:53):
a resort type of thing where we could regalize it
for a business, you know what I mean at the
same time of like just creation. And then Florida. I love.
I went to school in Orlando. Still have a house there,
so you know that's somewhere. It's like cool and you
get both for us. But I guess just keep.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
You.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I want to go be ready.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
I want to be So do you have no negotiables
since you gave us hers? I'm like, is that a
fair one? It's a fair one. Let me think you
think he has any angela? Okay, that's fine? Maybe yeah, yeah,

(39:40):
You're like, no, I'm pretty easy going.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeahricorn, there's got to be something like I never met
nobody say anything bad about the Capcorn maybe January ones.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
You have some nerves? Okay? What is your love language?
That's always a good question, right, you know people talk
about the different love languages and For some people it's gifts,
for some people it's affirmation. But for you guys, what
would you say is your love language?

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Besides the music?

Speaker 1 (40:06):
And Angela likes to.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Eat and we always just about to say, I was
about to see my love language?

Speaker 1 (40:13):
You like to action and words. Those are the four
love languages.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
I think for me it's action.

Speaker 3 (40:20):
Yeah, I think for me it's words.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Affirmation for sure, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
Makes especially we don't get it. So it's like when
you you say a lot, yeah like that stuff.

Speaker 1 (40:32):
Even from the beginning, he said, you said, she asked
about your.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
You know, yeah, like that stuff means something. That's crazy
because I never knew that. I never knew what those
people always bring them up, but I never knew what
they were touch gifts, what all of them again?

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Words of information, action, gift, action, and words and.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Where it's sure action like you help me up, help something.
I love that, and Derek thing about it like I
don't even have to say it, like he just automatically
knows it and just does it, or it's like already done,
like I landed and I was so hungry and he
had playing for you think a whole fish for me?

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Oh damn, isn't that so refreshing.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
Yeah, it's just more other other things than that. If
it's something that I have going on and I don't
feel like doing I don't feel like doing it, He'll
do it to kickstart me so that the rest of
my day like flows and I'm like, all right, okay,
I'm good, i'ma let's go.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
That's what your partenter is supposed to do, like make
your life easier both ways. All right, what is your
dream holiday? If you were your vacation, what's your dream trip?

Speaker 3 (41:52):
I would say something on Christmas because December four, I
never get to celebrate my birthday.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
Baby, your Christmas.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
All my friends out of town people are celebrating Christmas.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
It's expending time of the year too, so you're giving
gifts on your day. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
So maybe that because she threw me a surprise birthday.
Nobody did that for me before she threw me a
surprise last.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
Yeah, listen, what's even crazier than that? Like we kept
going having things blessed that was by coastal so we
would go to Delaware. I had something and I was
able to meet his mom and I stayed stayed over
at the house and she cooked for us, and I
was so excited she cooked for us, and we just

(42:45):
really talked and we had a really good time. And
then we went to Atlanta. We hung out, and we
went back to.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
We went to.

Speaker 4 (42:55):
Virginia.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, Virginia to visit his grandma on her birthday. So
it was like I kept being around the family, kept
being around the family, and then if your family came.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
Out, I think your mom had her birthday there.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Then my mom had her birthday and they drove up
and I'm like, oh, this is great.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Yeah, it was perfect, the families together.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
Yeah, yeah, you got to I think that's I think
that's crucial in today's relationships too.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yeah, what does your family think of Angela when they
first met her.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
They love her. The thing that they I think that
they were just honed on to the most was like,
just make sure that you guys love each other. I
think that was their whole thing, because they've seen me
go through ups and downs of just like not even relationship,
just friends and people who will get you excited, get

(43:43):
you raummed up, and get you happy, and then something
happens and then everything's just like defeated. You know what
I'm saying. So I think the way that I was
talking so and speaking so highly about her, my family
was more like, okay, because it sounds too good to
be true, so let me see what's really going on.
And when they met, they was just like, oh no,
she's she's.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Great, great.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
My sister loves her, I love my dad, my grandmoms,
like both my grandmom they call it was on FaceTime
with her, my one grandma, me and me calls her angel.
Yeah like she just yeah, you just you and you
and I'm not gonna lie. You brought my family together too,
because I've been working so so hard and sometimes it's

(44:26):
hard for me to travel and do stuff. But it's
like I be calling my mom for advice, you know
what I'm saying. I'll be calling my dad for advice.
I'll be calling them for certain things. Me and my sister,
she's doing her thing. So like I wanted to make
sure that they had a good relationship because that matters.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Yeah, because my brother boy, I'd be like, no, that's
not it, but I'll be real, yeah, okay, thank you, La.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
It's definitely important for sure.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Yes, I I'm so happy for you.

Speaker 5 (45:02):
You deserve all of you deserve all of the happiness.
You deserve all of the blessings you really do. You
worked hard for it and you earned it, and you definitely.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
You got me right about.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Everybody here got what I mean, because we come from.

Speaker 5 (45:21):
The churches, from the stuff from the churches before a long,
long time ago, and it is that we both left
and moved forward and excelled in and got so.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Many positive, great things happening. Yeah, yeah, you know, all
the character building. Yeah, it's what we like to call it.
It's just like your first like in love, real relationship
that you're brought to the family.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Yes, okay, for sure. It was probably one other person.
It was like maybe eight years now, like high school. Okay,
after that, it was just kind of like, I don't know,
because when you bring somebody around family, it's like they
end up becoming like and you can get that question,
oh so what happened there? So I was like, if

(46:07):
I'm gonna like really go all the way in, I
gotta go all the way in. I'm not about to
be off and on. I'm not gonna be out here
picking and choosing, like if I'm all in, i gotta
be all in. So I knew. I was like when
she did Duffy's hope. I was like, all right, mom,
I said you all ready, And I think my dad

(46:28):
was all nervous himself. He was nervous because he was
just like wow, like all right, and then my mom.
Everybody was just happy, like I think. I think that
that's the biggest thing out of all of this, is
that we're.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
All happy, right, and they're happy to see you happy. Yes,
that's the main thing that if you stressed out, I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
If that's I don't know if that's it.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Now there's another question to ask before marriage. How will
you handle differing sex drives, Because that's the real thing.
If one person feels like it, the other person doesn't.
If one person wants it every day but the other
person is like twice a week is good, how do
you guys handle that because that can happen. It feels
like y'all that I can't relate, right, Yeah. Yeah, everybody's quiet.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Everybody, everybody's we're going to wait to our marriage day. No,
I'm skiddy.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Oh. I was like, wait a minute, let me find
out today. And he's like, we getting married tomorrow or
tonight if it's open. Yeah, it's a real question though,

(47:46):
you know, because that does happen.

Speaker 3 (47:48):
I think I'm just communications. I think it's just saying
certain things.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
I think it's communication. And yeah, keeping it sexy, right right?

Speaker 1 (47:58):
He wake you up out of his eve and be
like hey, or her in sleep? Yeah, no, she won't
wake up. That's how I am.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
I'm rock.

Speaker 8 (48:13):
Hey, So do what you're going to do for yourself?

Speaker 1 (48:23):
Okay, all right, now, what about here's another one? Okay,
how will you split your finances? Is that a discussion?
Finances are very important to discuss when it comes to
any type of marriage, because that is, you know, they said,
it's likely you probably already split a lot of bills together.

(48:43):
Make sure you're happy with this arrangement. And they said
the fairest way to do things is usually based on
what you earn. But have you guys discussed like how
are we going to split these things? Who's paying? What?
Did you ask each other each other's credit score?

Speaker 3 (49:00):
You brought it up, You definitely brought it up. That's
definitely a conversation for sure.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
I think that's where the building comes in at too,
Like the building like, let's build it together and see
what happens. Right, you know what I mean, Because I
feel like with any business, something might be up, something
might be low. It's not going to be the same.
And that's where having a good partner comes in too,
because I could be up to say the first and
the third quarter, and you could be up the second

(49:25):
and the fourth quarter. You know what I mean. Long
as we can figure out that balance, it should be fine.
And then in between then like not just spending money,
but like investing money so that we could get some
coins instead of just throwing money away, Let's try to
figure out to make some money.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Yea, Because you guys don't have like a regular day job,
so it's not like you have this paycheck coming in
every two weeks. It might be like a huge check.
And then yet like okay, now I'm waiting for my
next you know.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Got to figure it out. That's what that hustle coming at.
That's through well you get prenup. Prenup.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
Well, you know what, I'm not against it, I'm not
opposed to it, but I mean because she has a
lot of stuff already, you know what I'm saying. She
got her cars, like that's hers, she got her sprinter,
that's hers. She has her house, that's hers. I have
my stuff, that's mine. You know what I'm saying. But
I'm not one of those people like, oh, you need
to do one, but.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
It's a contract, and you guys are business people, Well
we ain't. We ain't period. That's it.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
It won't be a prenup.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, because I feel like it's
one of those things we have.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
We're not getting divorced.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Yeah right, that's it. I love that process because you're done.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
People.

Speaker 5 (50:47):
People will take marriage and they don't really, like you said,
they make a joke about it and they don't really
take it seriously. There's so many marriages and the divorce.
But having that mindset, ye, for what I was feeling
that if somebody you to.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Get a preeanap, would you not get married or would
you be okay with it? I think it depends on
the situation.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
Like, for instance, my ex that we no longer speak
about that relationship that I was in for so long,
if he would have asked me to get a premiump,
I would have laughed.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
In his face. Okay, because what fifteen years later you
want to like, no, Okay, you know what I'm saying,
but somebody, Now, if you met somebody now, depending a
year and a half from now, he was engaged and
he's depending on the situation, I would not be offended
because I understand.

Speaker 5 (51:29):
But I do have the mindset of marriages supposed to
be forever. So why are we even talking about divorce
while we're even talking about splitting things?

Speaker 4 (51:37):
Exactly? What do you think?

Speaker 5 (51:39):
Jordan?

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Jordan said, and.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
With me there too, like in this relationship, it's not
a competition. And I've been in relationships to wheres though
are you? Are you? This is a competition. You're not
going to win this one. You get what I'm saying.
It's never been like that because you get it's some
people men that want to compete with you inno relationships,
and it's wild. It's like I thought it was supposed

(52:04):
to be meet you against them. Oh what happened?

Speaker 1 (52:09):
But you know, it's something like people always go into things.
Nobody goes into a relationship and it's not going to
last or a marriage, And so I will say, and
not that it won't, but you know, I'm getting a freak.

Speaker 4 (52:22):
Yeah, but you know it is what it is.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
And I think to each his own, like for everybody
that you know makes whatever decision, that's not for us
to decide or judge. But I know for me, listen,
I wish somebody would ask me, like, yes, it's done
doing it.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
What about you?

Speaker 4 (52:38):
I'm too anxious.

Speaker 7 (52:39):
I couldn't even if I think I trust you and
I love you more than anything, I just feel like.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
I wouldn't need that for.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
My own sanity, security and safety.

Speaker 7 (52:52):
And I want to need a couple of clauses in
there just in case you do something crazy, right, because
I feel like people change.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
You know, I understand the two. If somebody's cheating, obviously
you're not gonna come on right, No, you're not getting
half obvious. These are the obvious, obvious reasons abuse and
stuff like that. These are obvious reasons why, and it
shouldn't be none of that stuff.

Speaker 5 (53:13):
I like more like, for instance, like when you're a
safe driver, you could be the safest driver.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
You could be, but you can't control other people.

Speaker 5 (53:20):
So it's like I can have the best intentions on
this marriage, but I can't control what you're gonna do, right,
So I still want to car insurance.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yeah, well, listen among those lines, another question to ask
a partner, What constitutes cheating? What do you classify as cheating?
Some people might look at porn as betrayal, others might
not mind. People might think text message is like, what
constitutes cheating for you guys? And is that a deal breaker?

Speaker 2 (53:44):
Yes, that's for sure. Texting d M and talking that
freaky slick stuff on the side when you see somebody like.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
Anything that your question, anything that you have to ask
yourself if your partner is going to feel a way
about it.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
Yes, And that's always my answer to anything that anything
that you can't do in front of your partner or
with your partner is definitely cheating exactly.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Let me ask you this. Let's say you're going to
work with somebody in the studio and it's a female
artist and she comes on to you. Would you tell
Angela that that happened? Or would you just shut it
down and not say anything.

Speaker 5 (54:22):
No.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
I would tell her, okay what I tell you?

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Yes, tell her yes, my friend face right now, talk
about it. Can you continue to work with somebody if
they do come on to you.

Speaker 3 (54:40):
It's one of those things where I let them know, like,
this is not what that is. And if we do work,
it has to be on time or where it's like,
how can I say? It can't be like, oh, we're
going out of town. It has to be like along
the guidelance of like time business. Yeah, exactly, like it's
studios from that's it. There's no hanging out after. We're

(55:05):
not going nowhere after Like that's what it's going to be.
And make sure I get the bounces of the songs.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
You ain't getting no smell goods in here. We're not
cleaning the studio.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
But you want to know what I do respect though,
that is cool that a lot of the the women
artists that I do work with, they're so happy for me,
but they're also happy for her. So usually like I'll
be in the studio and then they're like, oh my god,
can you tell angel I'll be like, I'll just facetim
and then she'll get on FaceTime with an artist and

(55:38):
then they're like, oh, I just want to tell you
how proud I am in you. And then that goes
to now like hey, by the way, you know she
opened up a salon. Hey, you know she's doing this
and she's doing music. So it's like now, it's it
works that we have these relationships and it's been business
because now I can asks for favors. There's certain things
that I could present where it's like, yo, you know,

(55:59):
like a fugue there wants to do like a like
an ambassador or for Heart's Pure or something. It's like, look, Angelauet,
this is going on. I don't know what your situation is.
I know you might be a new artist, but you
know this would be dope with to present business adventures
outside of music.

Speaker 1 (56:17):
GG got your hair in right now speaking of her,
I know I speaking of it's like it's really good.
I'm not even just saying that, like it's not.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
Saying it because this is my friend.

Speaker 5 (56:26):
This is some of the best hair that I've worn ever,
ever ever. It looks good, it feels good, it works well,
it's amazing, it's silky, it's it's everything it needs to be.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
And honestly, when you sent me the.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Box, I was just like, this is like how many
bucks later?

Speaker 5 (56:43):
It's like a year later, Yeah, it is, It's like
a year's so personal things was happening, life was life
in and the box got lost in translation right without
you know, being to But the moment that I knew
that I wanted this specific hairstyle. I was like, I
know exactly what hair I'm using, and when I tell
you you sent the frontal, I'm a I'm an leave

(57:05):
out girl. So I thought like, damn, I'm not gonna
have enough hair with these street bundles.

Speaker 4 (57:09):
When I tell you, I got these bundles laid and
it was just enough and it was so perfect.

Speaker 5 (57:13):
I got right off the bat like that, and so
many compliments, and I'm like really like walking talking billboard
for my friend and his hair.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
Like I just was at Magic City of All.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
Places last night and one of the girls was like,
your hair. I had to come off hair and tell
you how good your hair looks. It looked like it's
coming out of Scott.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
I'm like, girl, it is, it doesn't really.

Speaker 5 (57:35):
Yeah, yeah, you did a good Johnson with picking your
vendor or whatever your venting process or whatever you did.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
You did that Ry living all about hair and stuff.
Yeah too.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
She makes sure like everything's right even with this, like
watch the pics together, like she snapped, you know what
I'm saying, just going through and just picking all her stuff.
She has her she got her whole side of She
conducts all her business and sends out her package. I've
seen her send out her her team might have sent
out maybe a thousand orders in like two days. They

(58:13):
only it wasn't a whole bunch of people. It might
have been three, three of them, her close friends. You
know what I'm saying. I had dream going in there, but.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Is always ready, Dream is ready. I'd be like, she's.

Speaker 4 (58:29):
Gonna be an entrepreneur.

Speaker 1 (58:31):
That's when you learned that though, when you see your
mom doing stuff like that and you let you tell.

Speaker 2 (58:35):
I mean, she's like, man, we gotta go to the salon.

Speaker 1 (58:38):
I'm like, I was just up there.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
It's like, no, we're going.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
We're going.

Speaker 7 (58:43):
Man.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
I love this for you because, first of all, no
matter what you've always been about your business, you've been
starting businesses, creating. But then I also feel like when
you went through this whole transformation back to Angela White,
some people were like doubting it and acting like, oh, well,
let's see how this you know this stunt last, But
you have proven everyone who has ever doubted you wrong.

(59:05):
Just to see where you are, the journey that you've
come on, like to see where you are today, sitting here,
happy and love well deserving.

Speaker 5 (59:12):
That's just another level of your transfer lot, a level
of lot, another level unlock, and then.

Speaker 1 (59:19):
You're gonna be a wife.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
Girl.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
We're gonna have a blast that day.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
It's like, is there a friend though?

Speaker 7 (59:29):
Oh yeah, weddings somebody all catch the bouquet.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
Yeah, weddings are lit though, Like the wedding. People be
looking up at weddings. Let me tell you, I got
some cool friends.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
I did.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
Y'all already like me, like, who's going to be in
the wedding? Have y'all figured out who's No, I'm afraid that.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
We want to miss people. Yeah, I'm nervous about that part.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
That's always a right decision. Like in the wedding, people
be offended.

Speaker 3 (01:00:01):
That's what.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
We should have two weddings, wedding for our family because
some of them people we don't don't feel like explaining
to the family who that is?

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
You know, like, wow, like.

Speaker 4 (01:00:20):
This who is these character?

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
These people?

Speaker 5 (01:00:23):
That's what you're gonna have to tell me me? Who
to you know, you don't want to have to explain
nothing to me me. Y'all go ahead and do the
private for the family.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
And then it turned out, Yeah, I think so you
need to do it in the West Coast that's not bad.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
Are You're from Philly?

Speaker 3 (01:00:39):
So I was born there. I was raised in Delaware.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
Okay, you had all kind of Philly people up here today.

Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
There for the first twenty five years of my life,
and then I moved to Atlanta. I have a daughter.
She was eight when we moved there. She just turned
twenty eight. So I've been in Atlanta now twenty years.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Yeah, that's the.

Speaker 5 (01:01:00):
Well I left because I can't be here for about
five and then it's been five years since I've been back.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
What was Delaware like for you growing up there?

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
It was it was quiet, so I was yeah, it
was it was quiet. I was. I was right outside
of Chester, so I was in Wilmington. So that's why
Philly is so tight with me, because it's right.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
My littles just bought a house in Delaware.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
You know what I'm saying. Delaware is like way off
the mat, and I was literally in Wilmington. Like claim,
my area, which is probably maybe fifteen minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:01:30):
Is closer to the Philadelphia Airport than most places in
Philadelphia's close to the Philadelphia Airport is like really right there.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Right there, Okay, but there I think the biggest, the
biggest take that I got from out there was expansion
because growing up there there really wasn't too much to do,
so you had to like kind of like entertain yourself.
So that's where I really got into music and really
got into like promotion and understanding certain things and how
to move, because I think that's the biggest thing that

(01:02:00):
all creatives should understand, is like knowing how to move,
like knowing how to know when it's your moment, knowing
how to execute when it's your time, knowing how to
sit back and play your role and execute and attack
when it's time to attack. And I think that's what
I learned in Delaware because we didn't have nothing. We
didn't have nothing, so it was like, Okay, I'm go

(01:02:21):
out here and put as much work as I can.
And then I went to college in Orlando. And then
when I went to Orlando, I said, Okay, this is
a bigger market. Let me just enhance what I was
already doing in Delaware and now utilize having resources. Let
me utilize the fact that there's clubs, and let me
utilize the facts that there's colleges, and let me utilize
the fact that I'm older now. And then when I

(01:02:42):
got into the songwriting twenty nineteen and went to LA.
I used the same process that I did, and that's
where I'm at now. Is like, I'm so humble and
grateful to be where I'm at because I really love this,
Like this is work. It's also like a passion of mine.
So I don't really look to get invited to parties.

(01:03:04):
I don't really want to be too much in the mix.
Like when people found out I don't love hi party
was a lot of people that was like, oh, don't
be on there drinks. I'm like, bro, you must not.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Know me because I'm not wait for this.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
I'm excited. Yeah, I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
We're excited for you. It seems like you two compliment
each other very well, so that's important, and we appreciate
y'all for coming up here today and being so open
and honestly, I think it's a cute love story.

Speaker 4 (01:03:33):
It's your whole love story. I'm just happy.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Yeah, they look so genuinely.

Speaker 7 (01:03:39):
And they're matching.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Man, let me tell you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Right Earlier, I had no idea that he was were
living in two different places and I was.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
Like, I text her, I said, because I was staying
at my because I've been back and forth from New
York and Delaware. Like what you said seventeen days.

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
Has been I was like, see you a seventeen years damn.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
So I texted her two nights ago about to go down.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
I tooted it two nights ago, and I was like,
I got this cool outfit. I can't wait for you
to see it. Shorted the shoes though, because I don't
I don't never get Gucci, but I was like, let me.
I like bigger shoes. I was like, let me grab these.
But then I didn't want to show her the shirt
or nothing else. So then we get to the hotel

(01:04:35):
and then I pull out the outf and she was like,
Olive two said, what a line.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
But it happens every time, every.

Speaker 3 (01:04:42):
Time it is flatter she she snapped, this is a
beauty dress when she walked, because look, every time she
puts on an outfit, it motivates me too to make
sure that I matched.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Make sure fly her fly.

Speaker 3 (01:05:01):
You know what I'm saying, Like she'd be having that ship,
she'd be having that having I'd be trying, but you
be having that making everything look good. So oh my god,

was walking and I was just looking at the whole
