She was having issues, she was losing too much weight
while she was pregnant, and she went to like it

Speaker 6 (02:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I mean I said, I said that when I was
not having a good day.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Has it changed now?
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Changed? It changes daily? Like I don't know. I don't know.
I can't really say. I can't under.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
What about it.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
It's like I'm navigating postpartum.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
So it's like some days I'd be like, no, I
don't want to do this no more, Like I don't
want to do it no more. And then some days
I'd be like I love this. I'm so reinspired, like
I want to drop another album.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
I don't know what gets you in that mindset where
you're like, all right, I can't do this no more.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I don't want to do this no more.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
What is it that you know?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Because you started very young, we watched you little girl
baby doing your thing.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Dad plays a role in it.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
It's like, I don't think people be taking in account
how much time I put into this game. So yeah,
like the time is like staying inspired.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Yeah, I don't I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I saw you tell when I watched your interview with Adeska,
and I thought that first of all, I thought she
was the perfect person to do the interview because it
was such a mom conversation. I don't have kids yet,
but I saw you say that you did this for Alyssa,
and it was kind of the battle internally of like
your baby was planned, Alyssa wanted to have a baby,
but Lotto is still trying to figure out how am
I gonna how my career gonna.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Be, how that's gonna fit into my career. Yeah, for sure. Yeah,
I felt selfish a lot of a lot of times
for choosing to do that, and it's is not even
fair to me to feel selfish. But I was literally
just saying in the car, like doing this so young
and like having a dad that came from a different generation,
like the non abusive Joe Jackson. Yeah, I gotta put
(04:17):
that out there. It just had me like wired, and
the it just had me wired differently. So I looked
at it like, damn, I'm being selfish right now. But yeah,
I did that, though, regret.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Me because a lot of times with postpart regret, I'm.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
So happy I had my girl. I'm so happy.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
And then God just like I feel so annointed, like
he gave me what I wonted, like he he gave
me what I wonted. Towards the end of my pregnancy,
I kept saying, like, you know what, God, I know
you're gonna give me what I need.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
So I kind of just started like unconvincing myself that
it was a girl.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I was like, it's it is what it is, whatever
you give me, I know that what I needed. But
he gave me what I wanted. And I know that
was him speaking to me in a different way.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Did she make you softer? She disarms you, you're not?
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Yeah, and she just give me like a greater purpose,
Like I feel like I was praying or before I
got pregnant, I was praying for like a new drive
in life, like something to make me want to go
hard again, not just basically just like yeah, just motivation.
And and I got my baby. And then I got
(05:33):
my baby girl.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Now you mentioned your dad and you said he wasn't
Joe Jackson. Of course we seen your dad grow up
with you from the Rap Game Show. Do you have
a song on your album that talks about your dad?
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Break down that song a little bit, because I'm on
both sides.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
What you were your dad?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Right after you listen to the song, Well play the
song in a second. The reason I said I'm on
both sides is is your dad, from what I saw,
gave up a lot of his life to make sure
his baby girl was there right. And he gave up
his life and his career to make sure his daughter
had everything that she wanted. But then when his daughter
got everything, you're like a dad, how.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Far this is?
Speaker 6 (06:12):
That's when it came across.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's what I took a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I took it as like you, you grew into like
your dad raised you to be very successful and very driven,
but there were things that you wanted from him that
he might not have known he wasn't giving you. And
once you got older and you found yourself, you built
your own world to get that, and he kind of
doesn't understand that what's yours is not always his. That's
how I took it.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
That's what I meant in the song. And I said,
but my blessings ain't your blessings. You confuse the love
with transgression and that she's sold a person. Yeah, okay,
well let me clear that because that was that was
not my.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I'm talking about the penmanship through the bars. Yeah, yeah, like.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Pushing that pine. I always to a real pen push suit. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
No, I love my daddy so much.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I made that song when we still hadn't spoken yet,
and we hadn't spoken over six years. So but I
was in a place of like forgiveness when I wrote
that song for him and myself. So I wasn't I don't.
I didn't look at it like a like a dish
to him or anything like that. It was more so
(07:15):
me just uh yeah, like kind of using it as therapy.
And ye'ah was forgiving him and not bashing bashing him
more so just understanding him. Now that I'm a parent,
I'm like, dang, I got one on the way now,
and I'm gonna make some mistakes myself.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
So and I and I look back like, dang, his mistakes.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Wasn't even really like that deep like as an adult
and as an as a parent, I'm like, people is human,
and you know, I'm not gonna be the perfect parent either.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So how did y'all get that or how did y'all
get to the point where y'all weren't speaking?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And then how did y'all the video?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You know, I was on the video like who in there?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
But it seemed like he he posted it just happy,
but it made new so crazy.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, I love my daddy to death. And yeah, that
was the second time I had been around my daddy.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
He said. I knew he wasn't supposed to be posting
nothing from that back show.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
But how do y'all get to the point where you
weren't talking like that? Because you were such a daddy's
girl from what we see.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, yeah, I was such a I grew up such
a daddy's girl. I just I don't know, I just
started growing myself. I started growing myself and just seeing
things in life and our relationship differently my sister and
my man was always in my ear, like you need
to you need to talk to your daddy. You need
to talk to your daddy. And the more I prayed
(08:36):
on it, the more I felt like a calling to
have that conversation with him and my sister.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
My sister kept in contact with my daddy.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
So I would I would tell her like, I think
I'm getting ready to speak them. I think I'm getting
ready to speak them. And then finally we just had
the conversation at my sister house and it was tears.
And the crazy thing about it when we first had
that first first we saw each other over six years.
We had a coming station for the first time over
six years, and I told him I was pregnant in
the same conversation. So it's very emotional.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You know what people don't understand is when a dad
loses their daughter.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, it's grief.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, when I mean lose their daughter, it's like, because
you grow up. But I got a twenty four year
old and you know, she's she's getting engaged, but that's
still my baby. I look at her, but she looks
at it like, no, Dad, I got a job, I'm working,
I got my own but I still away.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Every time, like it hurts. Yeah, but that's my little
baby girl.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, so your dad would feel I'm sure you when
you get when you're when your your daughter gets a little older,
you start feeling that to you.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
This is what my dad was going.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, he explained like those things to me, and I
kind of put it into perspective because I had one
on the way at that time. So I was like, dang,
I apologize for like blocking you out of my life.
And I know to me it might not have been
that deep, but now I understand, like that was a
very deep cut for him to not.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Have his baby girl in his life after all those years.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
So it's gonna pu It's crazy how them babies bring
back together, Like seeing at my baby shower, just seeing
the family come together.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
I'm like, dang, Like family, family is so important.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Was gonna push you off? Was really gonna push you off?
As when he has your your daughter and the things
that you couldn't do with him.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
If that was me, you would.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Have I already know because he's such a soft g
pop that's what he wanted to be called. He's such
a soft pop. But yeah, he wanted to soft for me.
That was Joe Jackson.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Jackson with me.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now this is a new era of Lotto. I was
reading someone Rolling Stone. They called this album romantic rap,
and I feel like that was like such a perfect explanation.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But what would you title this era of Lotto? I
thought big Mama was the title. I thought Big Mama
was the title. It just feel like, literally, I'm becoming
a mama. I'm stepping into like my own this is
who I am, Mama. Like I started it off with
I'm gonna get money girl, Like I'm kind of just
(11:04):
telling you why where I am in life at the moment,
and then like who I am to as a step
into womanhood and motherhood and all the things.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I love that because women can relate to that.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
You know, at some point we you know, we outside
and everything, but we want to grow up and we
want to you know, because music is very influential, you know,
especially the rap girl.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Come on, y'all.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
You know, I know we out here, we drinking, we porn.
But I love that we get to see another side
a lot of like yet.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Grown, it's time to grow up.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
I was trying to.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I was trying to do that, but I feel like
they keep coming across as romantic.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I think you get you get both sides of it.
Like like we were talking to me and some of
the girl producers here. We were talking about because a
lot of us are in that era where it's like
we still big Mama, were pulling up. I mean, we
don't all have kids, but more so like we do
for ourselves or part of it. We established we successful.
But at the same time, my me and my me
and my men, like yeah, and family and now you're
(12:04):
learning because it's wrong with that and nothing. But do
you feel like the fact that you said was wrong
with that. I was gonna say. When you first announced,
even like the pregnancy and different things, you got pushed
back because people were like, you're big mama, no kids
before marriage?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Oh my gosh. First of all, people like damn, can
I grow up? It's like, dang, can I just evolve?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Like you was up in the Bronx with twenty suburbans up, but.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I'm still That wasn't a couple of months ago, And
that was.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Two years ago.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
And when I said big Mama, no no kids, that
was in that same time, Like it just came out,
but I was in that same time. And it's like
a lot can happen in two years, a lot can
happen in two days, right, you know. But it's this
misconception that I that I was like anti kids and stuff.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I was never anti kids.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
You can also pull up interviews and like whatever about
me saying how excited I was to become a mother
one dance thing too, So it's like, Okay, I was
fucking twenty one and I'm OKN, I guess yeah, I
was like fucking twenty one and I'm twenty seven now,
like I'm allowed to have a man and have a baby,
like I feel like people with real emotions is gonna relate.
(13:16):
And if you in a different area of life, well
then you need to stream them other albums I got
because this shit right here is my big Mama era.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
And yes I got a daughter.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
And you were allowed to real quick. You know, just
as a woman, you are allowed to have it all.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
I don't know where the notion is that you can't
have it like you know, no, like that's somehow we're
not gonna look at you to say, as Arab girl,
settle down and have a family. You got the man,
the baby, the success.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
But I'm always used to being the like the trendsetter,
like the one that step out the box first. Cause
like when I first started singing again. First of all,
my first song I ever went viral for at thirteen
years old, crushed, I was singing. But when I first
started singing again, it was like pushback from that. Then
I get a man. It's like you you in love.
(14:02):
Like I'm so used to being the one that pushed
the agenda first. So I don't I don't care, like
I wear that hat confidently.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Can we can we talk about the my me and
my man situation because for a long time, y'all been
spinning us with like the little subdule jabs. But now
we're seeing we know that you and twenty one Savage
are together, and but I want to know, right, like
when you're deciding to now be a lot more public
about things like you in twenty one Savage dating? Why now?
(14:32):
Like you've been you you were blessed to be private
for a long time till they caught youalling them that vacation?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
What else say? I had addressed that on the album too.
It's like what people when you don't give or give
it to them, just like raw, they they just they
go round with all type of narratives and be peaking
in your business literally like damn vacation.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Yeah, why now? I think? I think, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I feel like I still am private to a certain point,
but it's like to a certain extent, but I feel
like once you start reaching different milestones in life.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
You can only be so private. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I got a baby, I can only be so private.
But and it probably feels good you want to share it?
Yeah I do.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
I do.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
I'm more comfortable sharing it like in the music because
I'm in that booth alone and I can just speak freely.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
But and you're an artist, like, yeah, that's what I'm
supposed to do, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
So, yeah, you never and you're never afraid to address anything.
You will address something in a minute in the music.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, And I think that that's very smart that you
do it that way as well.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I feel like in the music, I'm able to convey
my message with thoughts. I can sit there and write
exactly how I'm feeling and be intentional.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
You in your element, like, yeah, I mean my elements.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, that's why does anything bother you?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Though?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Like there's something certain that somebody says bother you anything?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, I wouldn't be talking about it in the music
if it didn't bother you, honey, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Get out of my face. You can come in talking
about the conversation that you like, you and Glow are
going off and addressing a lot of the things. So
has that been something that has bothered you? I mean,
and that's why you put it into music or where
do you live with that?
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Now? For sure?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I think even if it's like I dressed things that
bothered me in the music, But even if it's not
necessarily bothering me. But that's just what's happening in my
life at the moment. I talk about it in the music.
That's why I don't understand why I get all these
like oh, right, like who wrote it?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
And I don't write like it's.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Like you can you can hear that the internet ain't real, like.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
W that you that Drake wrote?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Like when did they start saying, yeah, how did that
come out?
Speaker 6 (17:04):
As the people?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
But that's why I said, so if they think Crodi
wrote it, that's a compliment, like I'm getting compared to
the gold.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
A lot of times I feel like it's it's it's
just fans because like there will be certain like melodies
or flows. I know, I saw Joe Budden and I
saw you put your your righting of your song and
added he has said that how sat sounds like a
Drake flow, and that's what people say. They always do
that with her, like, oh, this sounds like a flow
or reference, so Drake must have wrote it.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I mean I listened, I listened to Drake. I don't
really know what to say, right, that's a compliment.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
I don't know. I feel like I addressed it like I.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Don't clear you write all your own ship.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Yeah yeah, Like I feel like question, I feel like
why is that even a conversation When y'all saw me
doing this lot, like okay, not lie, but on television
as a kid, it's like.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I'm one of the very few females that y'all saw
the organic come up. So it's like, why do I
even get But people don't always have something to say?
Like I said, then it ain't real. So it's like
all I can keep doing is addressing this shit and
the music, and people gonna find something new to talk
about every day. And that's why I be private. That's
why I be private, because like you can't please people, and.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I think that's what it is because you are quiet,
like you'll put it, you'll get in the booth and
put it on you know, paper. But because you are quiet,
people run with whatever. That gives people room to make
shut up.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
What they don't know they make up Oh my mama. Yeah,
but I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I feel like you gonna if you address everything, like
you gonna start working yourself into a hole that you
can't get out of, you know what I'm saying. So
it's like I be reading hell of shit about my
life that ain't true. What I look like addressing every
single thing that I see is like, bro, I'm not
that's not how I see my life. Is like, I
don't I'm not gonna waste my energy ship like that.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Was it difficult to go from I don't want to
say kitty, but the kitty error.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Because it's like grow And I was like, that's.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Always gonna be difficult to have people with a little
differently with difficult for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
What was the hardest part about that?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
More so, it wasn't even difficult to me. It was
more so like people in my ear like telling me,
like I remember my ex boyfriend was like this is
like wait wait, wait, wait wait.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Please. He was like, you only got so long.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
If you don't pop off with him this time frame,
you're never gonna be looked at as a real artist.
That motherfucker probably broke stale now and I'm I'm the
real artist, damn. But yeah, I think it was myself,
just like people in my ear and in my head
telling me like, oh, kids starts. It's very difficult for
(20:06):
a kids start to be looked at as a you know,
serious artist that or not, But I just lived my life.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I didn't really have.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
No plan, like, oh, then I gotta do this strategically,
and then we got to start cussing at this time,
and then we got to start like No, I just
kind of just grew up.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
You've been very open with a lot of the growth
in the moments too, like you've log in, we see
you on stream the ice By situation when y'all were
in y'all moment, and then y'all literally republic about the
reconciliation and all those things. Like I think people get
a chance to grow with you and learn with you,
and that's why we become like fans.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah, but why did y'all squash that one? Like because
that could have went off ever, but y'all decided to
to squash it and.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Deal with record. I thought that was dope.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Why. I just I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
I'm like growing up. I'm just growing up, and I
just be like, shit, don't be that deep.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What was that conversation like this to ask you why
did you decide?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Why did?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I mean, because it's not even because squash y'all get
together and do a song together. I think it's different
when your brain your face or something. I think that
was the most mature thing I had seen in a while, like, oh,
this is a real thing.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah, it just it just wasn't that deep. So her
manager had called my manager and was like, uh, she's
trying to squash.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
It, like they want she want to do music. And
I was like, you know what.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Actually I am open to that. I love that, especially
when it's it's something that was like for no reason anyways,
Like that ship was one of them times where I
let like Twitter and like just like noise get in
my head. And probably she could say saying I can't
(21:57):
speak to her, but I'm guessing that's the same for
her and both of us.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
But what will you even beefing about? Again? Like are
both successful?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
You know what I'm saying, we're gonna rap about the
same shit. We got two different genres, but we both
rad girlies and do that.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Yeah, and we got more in common than differences.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So it's like whatever, So are you not still going
to accept the bag from Cardi? And you have a
verse where you talk about you know, you say, bitch
said what less Clockett really got a hermster in my
closet talking about buying Big Mama bag like a niggage
(22:33):
already bought it like my niggame already coming off racks,
big bank, big facts. And we know that Cardi apologized
publicly to you after she went on that ring against
Ice Spice and mentioned you and mentioned buying you a
bag in private, and then this line came in. The
fans were like, is she talking to Cardi? What's going on?
Like everybody's trying to piece it together and figure that out.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Well, yes, yeah, it was about Guardy, like we were
saying earlier, like I rap about what's going on in
my life at the moment. At the time, I was well,
first of all, I made this album over nine months.
I made the album while I was pregnant, and yeah,
(23:14):
I was at an early stage in my pregnancy, and
I rushed to the studio to do this verse for
her in time for the first week sales.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Whatever and for every time, Yeah, for that.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Airtime remix, and literally like two days later, I'm see
all over the internet, I'm being called pussy, I'm pregnant.
Emotions high, like yeah, and it's someone I did as
looked as a friend, Like I understand this, you know,
industry ship first two, but we was on a texting basis,
(23:50):
So I feel like, yeah, you tweeted to the world,
but we got each other number.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Also, so I never talked personally after that around.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
That so then like uh, probably like two months later
something like that, she did text me. But by that time,
I'm like that ain't even my dad, ain't even like
I'm not even thinking about that shit, nomore, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So have you spoken, bring you mouth?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Would you be open to the conversation.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Or you just yeah, yeah, I'm open to the conversation.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Or when I don't know, because I got I got
a baby, now some more shit, like I got life,
life that kept moving. But yeah I made that like
when the people just now hearing that song, but like
I made that song when that was a topic in
my life.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
That's what it wasn't no this like it was. That's
just what was happening in my life.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Like you talking about it beat Mama band, which my
nigga do that, Like I don't need no damn bad That's.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
That's just where I was in life. I don't it
is what it is.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
And then not to make up for calling me pussy either,
like I don't want to be Yeah, especially.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
If ask for that, Like, I don't know that it
just left a bad taste in my mouth. So I
just like I was in the booth and that just
what was happening? And then I just said what was happening?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
And you know, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
But once, how complicated was it making an album being pregnant?
Because I actually I wrote a book while I was
pregnant and I was, yeah, and it was reflecting on
like me being a bitter baby mama with my my
son's father as a co panthers memoir and that ship
was rocky. On some days, I'm mad because I'm having to,
you know, relive the moments where he did me.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Wrong and shit.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Like So, how was it.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Like doing the album over nine months of being pregnant?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yeah, it was. It was a first time was in
a lifetime experience. But I'm so glad I did it
because I look at it as like, shit, this this
something is. Yes, I put it out as lotto, but
it's something that Alyssa gave. Yeah, my daughter and something
that she can when she gets older, she gonna look
(26:03):
back like, dang this what this is what my mama
head was when she was pregnant with me and yeah,
it's a lot of songs about her on there. It's
it's a lot of songs about me popping my own
shit on there. I don't know why they think this
whole album about that man. I love that man, But
y'all ain't heard on that. Clearly, y'all ain't heard get
money girl, y'all ain't heard mama.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Even in Cromhart's Diaper Bag, you start out like I
get get work space for the birk and so I
added more feet.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Rap no kapa my rap I was.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I was calling the contractor daily while I'm pregnant, Like, listen,
this baby is gonna come out any day now, you
got hurt, you got her up and finish that closet edition.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, let's talk about that though, right, because yes it's
romantic and we know that you're in a relationship and
y'all are now you have a family. But like some
of the songs to me sound like almost like a
rap girls like affirmation. Like when I listen to Chromhart's
Diaper Bag, it's like you're cheering yourself on. I know
you're dealing with a lot at the center.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Yes, I'm cheering myself on and I like to like
when I'm in the booth, I'm big and myself up,
even bigger than my reality is right now, like beyond
what I can even see, And I want people to
take that away, especially the girls when they listen to
my music. It's like, I hate that the the people
can be so shallow to dumb that down to oh
(27:17):
this my man, my man, Like the message is so
much deeper than that, So I don't know, shout out
to the real music listeners and then people with real
emotions that can listen beyond the surface level.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
But I think also too, there as a conversation to
be had about why can't you be happy in love
and be loved properly?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Because they a misery love company. They want you to
be crying like them, and they want you to be
in a relationship with an ain't shient nigga like them,
and like, nah, baby, that ain't the that ain't the
reality over here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry that you can't relate. Sorry,
we're praying for y'all. Hope you experienced a love like
this one day.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I feel like they attack attack your life so much
like I remember even when you were pregnant. Then yeah,
it is your business when you want to announce your pregnancy, right,
it's your business when you want.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
To tell your family.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
It was the show in Japan and they.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
And they were like a lot a lot of I
think that's actually how I met your team, because I
was like, hey, I want to be we want to
be respectful over I know that. I mean, I've learned
a lot in this room, but it was more so
like you know, when you are expecting and it's a
lot that goals. And I learned from just that, like
that first couple months and trying to figure out those
(28:29):
trimesters and all that. But people after that show in
Japan were like a lot of was pregnant. Lot of pregnant.
But that hard to deal with the pressure to be
like put it out there.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Yeah I was.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
I was in Japan crying in my room and I
had text my I text my team like y'all can
we go get a bachi or something because I'm just
not feeling it today. Mind you, My team didn't even know,
like only my best friend is my DJ, my manager
is like my sister, and my role manager Rico, it's
like my brother. Them the only people that knew at
(29:01):
that point, my assistant, my stylist, the women who dressed
me looka they did not know. Like nobody on my
team knew. So my family didn't even know. So like
my grandma is seeing this stuff on the internet and
she called my mama like.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Is it little pregnant damn, and so yeah, it's just
a point.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, my mama knew. I told my mama earlier. My
mama knew, but it was still like like my grandma,
like very close people to me that didn't know. When
I got dressed and I did the fit in y'all.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
I saw I didn't look pregnant. I did not look pregnant.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
But I guess like when you're performing, you not thinking
about sucking your stomach, and I really.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Did have just ate too.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Swelling you up like that.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
But then when I posted my pictures, right, my caption
was like along the lines of like, oh, I just
ate too much rum in y'all tripping like you know,
nah that girl pregnant, saying.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Oh yeah, but look what so what was it?
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Why did you hold on to it and keep it
from your family, not from the world, because like careous
about that, but like your family you want to wait
till you got past a certain point.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, it was more.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
So just like waiting until I got past a certain
point because I was still very very very early in Japan,
past a certain point. And I wanted to do it
special because a lot of my family live in Ohio, Okay,
on my mom's side, so I wanted to tell them
in a special way. So I didn't want them to
find out through social media. But and sometimes with the
(30:35):
life I'm living, I don't have their luxury no more.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
It is what.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I feel like, you did a really good job of
keeping a lot to yourself. It was the rock and
chair video too. We didn't even cover the story, but
I told them, I'm like, she's in a rocking chair,
so fans think that she had the baby I was.
I feel like that was gonna come to him. Let's
just let her, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
I'ma be one hunt there.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
I figured people would know or speculate when I when
I posted that video, but that that was real life,
Like baby girl was on my chest. And if you
got a new boy, you know you cannot you cannot
move better move or she couldn't want to get on
that city.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
So I was like, shit, I gotta make this video.
It is what it is. Let me just try to
school go down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
The video was like, right here, get the boos, we
get the little I was like, hey, I had to
cancel my events and talk a little bit about that too,
because what you're doing for other moms now that you
are a mother, it is a relationship that you have
with mothers now is different.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
It's so different.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Like I've been doing these like pop ups, meet and
greet albums, signing type things, and like to see the
embrace from mothers like they literally be in line with
their babies now and they be like, girl, I was
pregnant at the same time as you, or girl just
had my baby, and.
Speaker 6 (31:58):
I commend you for doing this.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
This is like a whole new relatability I have with
like my fast now. So it's so cool to see
like the I don't know, yeah, the embrace.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
You just happen. Moms feel seen a lot of times
a week where an it and it's like you don't
feel seen, you don't feel like you're working hard enough.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
That's the part of that postpartum depression as well.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Like gosh, girl, I went through that there was times
where I did not feel seen and my husband couldn't
do anything.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
To help to make me feel better.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
You know what I mean that you just got to
come up out of it when you do so what
you're doing for them.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
How long does that last? Like that feeling that like
I'm not doing enough as a mom, or like.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I've seen people say like they they don't have their
baby a year ago and they still have their days.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
So yeah, I feel like I'm just getting out of
my My daughter is one, she's going to be two
in August August twentieth, and I'm just getting back into
my bag of like I felt like I wasn't funny,
I wasn't writing comedy, I didn't know what to do here.
I'm sitting here dumbfounded every day. I'm just like you know,
you don't you feel like walls are closing in, and
(33:03):
then you feel guilty, like am I not doing enough?
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (33:07):
I think that's a lot, like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I was twenty one with the baby. Has has it
changed him at all?
Speaker 6 (33:14):
For sure? For sure?
Speaker 4 (33:21):
I love you so much.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
I love you so much.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
When you've got five more seconds, I want to ask
the question, I think you'd be great but it's like.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
The pooky pooky with the baby, like pooky, is he
like that with the baby? And then you go outside like.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
About my relationship.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
But yeah, yeah, E been sending me videos like yeah,
I've been crying looking at him.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah, you said different because it's like when you when
you were the child, you see a whole different side.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Working mysterious ways. Let me say that because I feel
like we both needed a girl. Yeah, no, no, it's
nice for that's I bet y'all needed a girl.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
One of the things I thought was I saw a
pick up. Big two was when you and twenty one Savages,
the mother of his other kids, hung out had a
good time. The videos viral Girls Night. I know with
just and what she talks about with her co parents
and but one of the biggest things I learned from
her was when you're in a good place, that type
of stuff is like a normal thing, Like we're all
family at that point. So when that type of stuff
is out there and you're changing the narrative around that,
(34:26):
how does it feel to get all of the like
conversation around it because you're in a good place about it,
But the world is like confused because they don't normally
see it.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Yeah, that's why they are stay confused confused because every
time y'all think it's something and then it don't be that,
then they make up something else and then it's like,
but yeah, that was one of our children or fifth
grade graduation and we were kicking in. Yeah, people just
they gonna they're gonna continue to be confused.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
But see, that's why I wrote my book because it's
like people want to be stuff people want. I feel
like the people that are confused or acting confused, like
they like people can't co parent and you know, families
blend right.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
I feel like that's that's weird.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
You want to stay stuck in toxicity and operate out
of dysfunction when it's really a family, like you know
what I mean, you're happy, they're happy. Like she just said,
like she said, I ain't gonna go past this real quick.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
She literally was like.
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Our when it was one of our children graduation. That's
that's kids. One thing about it about them kids even
before my year. I don't play about them kids. Yeah,
I love I love my kids.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Mag mama, man, what that relationship was that something that
you were like, this is important for me to do,
like to build that relationship because sometimes it's just the
kids and with their mom as well.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. It's a family like families
coming all different shape sizes, it's family.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
It's family.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
That's the thing about that too, is if you follow
these blogs or follow these sites, they will tell you
your life that's.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Totally not true, but the people believe it.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Like people believe it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Like I'm just thinking about some of the headlines I'm
seen and I'm like, God, damn, the attacked it is
shot a lotto.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
I let them attack me, though, because I could very
much clear clear everything up. But I feel like at
that point you just opening a new can of worms.
And then now.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
People know what bothered you with, you know, like how
to how to get under your skin. So it's like.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I keep addressing it in the music, but the blogs
I feel like also too, without even speaking my all
my life, I've let stuff address stuff like y'all thought
it was one thing, then then you see us kicking
it and then like you know what I'm saying, So
it's like God gonna on, uh, he gonna reveal what's
(36:54):
supposed to be revealed, you know, because then get on
my face.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
I keep going back to that song because's the last
one I think I listened to Forgiving It. But when
you do the sidebach line, and I don't know if
it was about the that situation. I think a conversation
that people tried to throwing you was like the whole
marriage thing not merry thing. And it's like, at this point,
y'all are in a place where people should move on,
but they don't. They don't get out your face about that.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
No, because when you leave a door open, like I said,
like what, people don't know, they're gonna make up.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
But he not. And I don't even want to say that.
It's like that's his that's his story to tell you know.
I'm not. I'm not twenty one savage. Like we we happy,
we do it works for us, and people make up
with they don't know. That's what I'll say.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Well, I think you're done a damn good job at
all the things. So congratulations. I saw today a two
chart data said that this was one of your biggest
album debuts.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Yes, it's my biggest album debut. I'm feeling on top
of the world.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 5 (37:50):

his hands all over my life right now, and.
Speaker 6 (37:58):

Speaker 3 (38:00):
To album together, so I have to.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
They got hostage on the album.
Speaker 7 (38:07):
Besides that, the album together, maybe the people won't even
maybe you know they want it.
Speaker 6 (38:12):
Maybe I don't know. I don't know. Y'all might be retiring.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
You're not retiring.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
I didn't just enter this happy happy my wife we
talked about earlier, happy girlfriend. Oh I had a baby yet,

glad you got something you can listen to now because
you'll be playing you'd be trying it with all the
mother songs. So you gotta keep going for me, because
once I get in my other era, I'm needing somewhere music.

I ain't pregnant, but you don't want to hear that music.

you can do it to help build your appetite, but
it was like you know, holistic doctors. She did and
it worked because she.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Was losing Toby. She is the that she you know,
how you got that child that's going to be the
one like the Oh lord, she is that child. But
she good making it through regular So that's a blessed.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I got what you wanted. You want girl.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Wanted the girl. Yeah, I'm a girlma.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Is that why you're retiring?
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Right? You knew that was coming it's a part of it,
for sure.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It ain't damn retiring.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I mean I said, I said that when I was
not having a good day.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Has it changed now?
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Changed? It changes daily? Like I don't know. I don't know.
I can't really say. I can't under.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
What about it.
Speaker 6 (02:45):
It's like I'm navigating postpartum.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
So it's like some days I'd be like, no, I
don't want to do this no more, Like I don't
want to do it no more. And then some days
I'd be like I love this. I'm so reinspired, like
I want to drop another album.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
I don't know what gets you in that mindset where
you're like, all right, I can't do this no more.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I don't want to do this no more.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
What is it that you know?
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Because you started very young, we watched you little girl
baby doing your thing.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Dad plays a role in it.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
It's like, I don't think people be taking in account
how much time I put into this game. So yeah,
like the time is like staying inspired.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
Yeah, I don't I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I saw you tell when I watched your interview with Adeska,
and I thought that first of all, I thought she
was the perfect person to do the interview because it
was such a mom conversation. I don't have kids yet,
but I saw you say that you did this for Alyssa,
and it was kind of the battle internally of like
your baby was planned, Alyssa wanted to have a baby,
but Lotto is still trying to figure out how am
I gonna how my career gonna.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Be, how that's gonna fit into my career. Yeah, for sure. Yeah,
I felt selfish a lot of a lot of times
for choosing to do that, and it's is not even
fair to me to feel selfish. But I was literally
just saying in the car, like doing this so young
and like having a dad that came from a different generation,
like the non abusive Joe Jackson. Yeah, I gotta put
(04:17):
that out there. It just had me like wired, and
the it just had me wired differently. So I looked
at it like, damn, I'm being selfish right now. But yeah,
I did that, though, regret.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Me because a lot of times with postpart regret, I'm.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
So happy I had my girl. I'm so happy.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
And then God just like I feel so annointed, like
he gave me what I wonted, like he he gave
me what I wonted. Towards the end of my pregnancy,
I kept saying, like, you know what, God, I know
you're gonna give me what I need.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
So I kind of just started like unconvincing myself that
it was a girl.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
I was like, it's it is what it is, whatever
you give me, I know that what I needed. But
he gave me what I wanted. And I know that
was him speaking to me in a different way.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Did she make you softer? She disarms you, you're not?
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Yeah, and she just give me like a greater purpose,
Like I feel like I was praying or before I
got pregnant, I was praying for like a new drive
in life, like something to make me want to go
hard again, not just basically just like yeah, just motivation.
And and I got my baby. And then I got
(05:33):
my baby girl.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Now you mentioned your dad and you said he wasn't
Joe Jackson. Of course we seen your dad grow up
with you from the Rap Game Show. Do you have
a song on your album that talks about your dad?
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Right now?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Break down that song a little bit, because I'm on
both sides.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
What you were your dad?
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Right after you listen to the song, Well play the
song in a second. The reason I said I'm on
both sides is is your dad, from what I saw,
gave up a lot of his life to make sure
his baby girl was there right. And he gave up
his life and his career to make sure his daughter
had everything that she wanted. But then when his daughter
got everything, you're like a dad, how.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Far this is?
Speaker 6 (06:12):
That's when it came across.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
That's what I took a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I took it as like you, you grew into like
your dad raised you to be very successful and very driven,
but there were things that you wanted from him that
he might not have known he wasn't giving you. And
once you got older and you found yourself, you built
your own world to get that, and he kind of
doesn't understand that what's yours is not always his. That's
how I took it.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
That's what I meant in the song. And I said,
but my blessings ain't your blessings. You confuse the love
with transgression and that she's sold a person. Yeah, okay,
well let me clear that because that was that was
not my.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I'm talking about the penmanship through the bars. Yeah, yeah, like.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Pushing that pine. I always to a real pen push suit. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
No, I love my daddy so much.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
I made that song when we still hadn't spoken yet,
and we hadn't spoken over six years. So but I
was in a place of like forgiveness when I wrote
that song for him and myself. So I wasn't I don't.
I didn't look at it like a like a dish
to him or anything like that. It was more so
(07:15):
me just uh yeah, like kind of using it as therapy.
And ye'ah was forgiving him and not bashing bashing him
more so just understanding him. Now that I'm a parent,
I'm like, dang, I got one on the way now,
and I'm gonna make some mistakes myself.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
So and I and I look back like, dang, his mistakes.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
Wasn't even really like that deep like as an adult
and as an as a parent, I'm like, people is human,
and you know, I'm not gonna be the perfect parent either.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So how did y'all get that or how did y'all
get to the point where y'all weren't speaking?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And then how did y'all the video?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
You know, I was on the video like who in there?
Speaker 2 (07:55):
But it seemed like he he posted it just happy,
but it made new so crazy.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Yeah, I love my daddy to death. And yeah, that
was the second time I had been around my daddy.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
He said. I knew he wasn't supposed to be posting
nothing from that back show.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
But how do y'all get to the point where you
weren't talking like that? Because you were such a daddy's
girl from what we see.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, yeah, I was such a I grew up such
a daddy's girl. I just I don't know, I just
started growing myself. I started growing myself and just seeing
things in life and our relationship differently my sister and
my man was always in my ear, like you need
to you need to talk to your daddy. You need
to talk to your daddy. And the more I prayed
(08:36):
on it, the more I felt like a calling to
have that conversation with him and my sister.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
My sister kept in contact with my daddy.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
So I would I would tell her like, I think
I'm getting ready to speak them. I think I'm getting
ready to speak them. And then finally we just had
the conversation at my sister house and it was tears.
And the crazy thing about it when we first had
that first first we saw each other over six years.
We had a coming station for the first time over
six years, and I told him I was pregnant in
the same conversation. So it's very emotional.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You know what people don't understand is when a dad
loses their daughter.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, it's grief.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, when I mean lose their daughter, it's like, because
you grow up. But I got a twenty four year
old and you know, she's she's getting engaged, but that's
still my baby. I look at her, but she looks
at it like, no, Dad, I got a job, I'm working,
I got my own but I still away.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Every time, like it hurts. Yeah, but that's my little
baby girl.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Yeah, so your dad would feel I'm sure you when
you get when you're when your your daughter gets a little older,
you start feeling that to you.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
This is what my dad was going.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Yeah, he explained like those things to me, and I
kind of put it into perspective because I had one
on the way at that time. So I was like, dang,
I apologize for like blocking you out of my life.
And I know to me it might not have been
that deep, but now I understand, like that was a
very deep cut for him to not.
Speaker 6 (09:55):
Have his baby girl in his life after all those years.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
So it's gonna pu It's crazy how them babies bring
back together, Like seeing at my baby shower, just seeing
the family come together.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
I'm like, dang, Like family, family is so important.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Was gonna push you off? Was really gonna push you off?
As when he has your your daughter and the things
that you couldn't do with him.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
If that was me, you would.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Have I already know because he's such a soft g
pop that's what he wanted to be called. He's such
a soft pop. But yeah, he wanted to soft for me.
That was Joe Jackson.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Jackson with me.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now this is a new era of Lotto. I was
reading someone Rolling Stone. They called this album romantic rap,
and I feel like that was like such a perfect explanation.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But what would you title this era of Lotto? I
thought big Mama was the title. I thought Big Mama
was the title. It just feel like, literally, I'm becoming
a mama. I'm stepping into like my own this is
who I am, Mama. Like I started it off with
I'm gonna get money girl, Like I'm kind of just
(11:04):
telling you why where I am in life at the moment,
and then like who I am to as a step
into womanhood and motherhood and all the things.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I love that because women can relate to that.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
You know, at some point we you know, we outside
and everything, but we want to grow up and we
want to you know, because music is very influential, you know,
especially the rap girl.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Come on, y'all.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
You know, I know we out here, we drinking, we porn.
But I love that we get to see another side
a lot of like yet.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Grown, it's time to grow up.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
I was trying to.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
I was trying to do that, but I feel like
they keep coming across as romantic.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I think you get you get both sides of it.
Like like we were talking to me and some of
the girl producers here. We were talking about because a
lot of us are in that era where it's like
we still big Mama, were pulling up. I mean, we
don't all have kids, but more so like we do
for ourselves or part of it. We established we successful.
But at the same time, my me and my me
and my men, like yeah, and family and now you're
(12:04):
learning because it's wrong with that and nothing. But do
you feel like the fact that you said was wrong
with that. I was gonna say. When you first announced,
even like the pregnancy and different things, you got pushed
back because people were like, you're big mama, no kids
before marriage?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Oh my gosh. First of all, people like damn, can
I grow up? It's like, dang, can I just evolve?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Like you was up in the Bronx with twenty suburbans up, but.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I'm still That wasn't a couple of months ago, And
that was.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Two years ago.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
And when I said big Mama, no no kids, that
was in that same time, Like it just came out,
but I was in that same time. And it's like
a lot can happen in two years, a lot can
happen in two days, right, you know. But it's this
misconception that I that I was like anti kids and stuff.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
I was never anti kids.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
You can also pull up interviews and like whatever about
me saying how excited I was to become a mother
one dance thing too, So it's like, Okay, I was
fucking twenty one and I'm OKN, I guess yeah, I
was like fucking twenty one and I'm twenty seven now,
like I'm allowed to have a man and have a baby,
like I feel like people with real emotions is gonna relate.
(13:16):
And if you in a different area of life, well
then you need to stream them other albums I got
because this shit right here is my big Mama era.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
And yes I got a daughter.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
And you were allowed to real quick. You know, just
as a woman, you are allowed to have it all.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
I don't know where the notion is that you can't
have it like you know, no, like that's somehow we're
not gonna look at you to say, as Arab girl,
settle down and have a family. You got the man,
the baby, the success.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
But I'm always used to being the like the trendsetter,
like the one that step out the box first. Cause
like when I first started singing again. First of all,
my first song I ever went viral for at thirteen
years old, crushed, I was singing. But when I first
started singing again, it was like pushback from that. Then
I get a man. It's like you you in love.
(14:02):
Like I'm so used to being the one that pushed
the agenda first. So I don't I don't care, like
I wear that hat confidently.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Can we can we talk about the my me and
my man situation because for a long time, y'all been
spinning us with like the little subdule jabs. But now
we're seeing we know that you and twenty one Savage
are together, and but I want to know, right, like
when you're deciding to now be a lot more public
about things like you in twenty one Savage dating? Why now?
(14:32):
Like you've been you you were blessed to be private
for a long time till they caught youalling them that vacation?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
What else say? I had addressed that on the album too.
It's like what people when you don't give or give
it to them, just like raw, they they just they
go round with all type of narratives and be peaking
in your business literally like damn vacation.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Yeah, why now? I think? I think, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
I feel like I still am private to a certain point,
but it's like to a certain extent, but I feel
like once you start reaching different milestones in life.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
You can only be so private. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I got a baby, I can only be so private.
But and it probably feels good you want to share it?
Yeah I do.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
I do.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
I'm more comfortable sharing it like in the music because
I'm in that booth alone and I can just speak freely.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
But and you're an artist, like, yeah, that's what I'm
supposed to do, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
So, yeah, you never and you're never afraid to address anything.
You will address something in a minute in the music.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, And I think that that's very smart that you
do it that way as well.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
I feel like in the music, I'm able to convey
my message with thoughts. I can sit there and write
exactly how I'm feeling and be intentional.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
You in your element, like, yeah, I mean my elements.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah, that's why does anything bother you?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Though?
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Like there's something certain that somebody says bother you anything?
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, I wouldn't be talking about it in the music
if it didn't bother you, honey, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Get out of my face. You can come in talking
about the conversation that you like, you and Glow are
going off and addressing a lot of the things. So
has that been something that has bothered you? I mean,
and that's why you put it into music or where
do you live with that?
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Now? For sure?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
I think even if it's like I dressed things that
bothered me in the music, But even if it's not
necessarily bothering me. But that's just what's happening in my
life at the moment. I talk about it in the music.
That's why I don't understand why I get all these
like oh, right, like who wrote it?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
And I don't write like it's.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
Like you can you can hear that the internet ain't real, like.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
W that you that Drake wrote?
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Like when did they start saying, yeah, how did that
come out?
Speaker 6 (17:04):
As the people?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
But that's why I said, so if they think Crodi
wrote it, that's a compliment, like I'm getting compared to
the gold.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
A lot of times I feel like it's it's it's
just fans because like there will be certain like melodies
or flows. I know, I saw Joe Budden and I
saw you put your your righting of your song and
added he has said that how sat sounds like a
Drake flow, and that's what people say. They always do
that with her, like, oh, this sounds like a flow
or reference, so Drake must have wrote it.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I mean I listened, I listened to Drake. I don't
really know what to say, right, that's a compliment.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
I don't know. I feel like I addressed it like I.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Don't clear you write all your own ship.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Yeah yeah, Like I feel like question, I feel like
why is that even a conversation When y'all saw me
doing this lot, like okay, not lie, but on television
as a kid, it's like.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
I'm one of the very few females that y'all saw
the organic come up. So it's like, why do I
even get But people don't always have something to say?
Like I said, then it ain't real. So it's like
all I can keep doing is addressing this shit and
the music, and people gonna find something new to talk
about every day. And that's why I be private. That's
why I be private, because like you can't please people, and.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
I think that's what it is because you are quiet,
like you'll put it, you'll get in the booth and
put it on you know, paper. But because you are quiet,
people run with whatever. That gives people room to make
shut up.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
What they don't know they make up Oh my mama. Yeah,
but I don't know.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
I feel like you gonna if you address everything, like
you gonna start working yourself into a hole that you
can't get out of, you know what I'm saying. So
it's like I be reading hell of shit about my
life that ain't true. What I look like addressing every
single thing that I see is like, bro, I'm not
that's not how I see my life. Is like, I
don't I'm not gonna waste my energy ship like that.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Was it difficult to go from I don't want to
say kitty, but the kitty error.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Because it's like grow And I was like, that's.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Always gonna be difficult to have people with a little
differently with difficult for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
What was the hardest part about that?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
More so, it wasn't even difficult to me. It was
more so like people in my ear like telling me,
like I remember my ex boyfriend was like this is
like wait wait, wait, wait wait.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
Please. He was like, you only got so long.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
If you don't pop off with him this time frame,
you're never gonna be looked at as a real artist.
That motherfucker probably broke stale now and I'm I'm the
real artist, damn. But yeah, I think it was myself,
just like people in my ear and in my head
telling me like, oh, kids starts. It's very difficult for
(20:06):
a kids start to be looked at as a you know,
serious artist that or not, But I just lived my life.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I didn't really have.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
No plan, like, oh, then I gotta do this strategically,
and then we got to start cussing at this time,
and then we got to start like No, I just
kind of just grew up.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
You've been very open with a lot of the growth
in the moments too, like you've log in, we see
you on stream the ice By situation when y'all were
in y'all moment, and then y'all literally republic about the
reconciliation and all those things. Like I think people get
a chance to grow with you and learn with you,
and that's why we become like fans.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Yeah, but why did y'all squash that one? Like because
that could have went off ever, but y'all decided to
to squash it and.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Deal with record. I thought that was dope.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Why. I just I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
I'm like growing up. I'm just growing up, and I
just be like, shit, don't be that deep.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What was that conversation like this to ask you why
did you decide?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Why did?
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I mean, because it's not even because squash y'all get
together and do a song together. I think it's different
when your brain your face or something. I think that
was the most mature thing I had seen in a while, like, oh,
this is a real thing.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Yeah, it just it just wasn't that deep. So her
manager had called my manager and was like, uh, she's
trying to squash.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
It, like they want she want to do music. And
I was like, you know what.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Actually I am open to that. I love that, especially
when it's it's something that was like for no reason anyways,
Like that ship was one of them times where I
let like Twitter and like just like noise get in
my head. And probably she could say saying I can't
(21:57):
speak to her, but I'm guessing that's the same for
her and both of us.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
But what will you even beefing about? Again? Like are
both successful?
Speaker 7 (22:05):
You know what I'm saying, we're gonna rap about the
same shit. We got two different genres, but we both
rad girlies and do that.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Yeah, and we got more in common than differences.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
So it's like whatever, So are you not still going
to accept the bag from Cardi? And you have a
verse where you talk about you know, you say, bitch
said what less Clockett really got a hermster in my
closet talking about buying Big Mama bag like a niggage
(22:33):
already bought it like my niggame already coming off racks,
big bank, big facts. And we know that Cardi apologized
publicly to you after she went on that ring against
Ice Spice and mentioned you and mentioned buying you a
bag in private, and then this line came in. The
fans were like, is she talking to Cardi? What's going on?
Like everybody's trying to piece it together and figure that out.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Well, yes, yeah, it was about Guardy, like we were
saying earlier, like I rap about what's going on in
my life at the moment. At the time, I was well,
first of all, I made this album over nine months.
I made the album while I was pregnant, and yeah,
(23:14):
I was at an early stage in my pregnancy, and
I rushed to the studio to do this verse for
her in time for the first week sales.
Speaker 6 (23:23):
Whatever and for every time, Yeah, for that.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Airtime remix, and literally like two days later, I'm see
all over the internet, I'm being called pussy, I'm pregnant.
Emotions high, like yeah, and it's someone I did as
looked as a friend, Like I understand this, you know,
industry ship first two, but we was on a texting basis,
(23:50):
So I feel like, yeah, you tweeted to the world,
but we got each other number.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Also, so I never talked personally after that around.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
That so then like uh, probably like two months later
something like that, she did text me. But by that time,
I'm like that ain't even my dad, ain't even like
I'm not even thinking about that shit, nomore, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So have you spoken, bring you mouth?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Would you be open to the conversation.
Speaker 6 (24:24):
Or you just yeah, yeah, I'm open to the conversation.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Or when I don't know, because I got I got
a baby, now some more shit, like I got life,
life that kept moving. But yeah I made that like
when the people just now hearing that song, but like
I made that song when that was a topic in
my life.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
That's what it wasn't no this like it was. That's
just what was happening in my life.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Like you talking about it beat Mama band, which my
nigga do that, Like I don't need no damn bad That's.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
That's just where I was in life. I don't it
is what it is.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
And then not to make up for calling me pussy either,
like I don't want to be Yeah, especially.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
If ask for that, Like, I don't know that it
just left a bad taste in my mouth. So I
just like I was in the booth and that just
what was happening? And then I just said what was happening?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
And you know, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
But once, how complicated was it making an album being pregnant?
Because I actually I wrote a book while I was
pregnant and I was, yeah, and it was reflecting on
like me being a bitter baby mama with my my
son's father as a co panthers memoir and that ship
was rocky. On some days, I'm mad because I'm having to,
you know, relive the moments where he did me.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Wrong and shit.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Like So, how was it.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Like doing the album over nine months of being pregnant?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yeah, it was. It was a first time was in
a lifetime experience. But I'm so glad I did it
because I look at it as like, shit, this this
something is. Yes, I put it out as lotto, but
it's something that Alyssa gave. Yeah, my daughter and something
that she can when she gets older, she gonna look
(26:03):
back like, dang this what this is what my mama
head was when she was pregnant with me and yeah,
it's a lot of songs about her on there. It's
it's a lot of songs about me popping my own
shit on there. I don't know why they think this
whole album about that man. I love that man, But
y'all ain't heard on that. Clearly, y'all ain't heard get
money girl, y'all ain't heard mama.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Even in Cromhart's Diaper Bag, you start out like I
get get work space for the birk and so I
added more feet.
Speaker 6 (26:30):
Rap no kapa my rap I was.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I was calling the contractor daily while I'm pregnant, Like, listen,
this baby is gonna come out any day now, you
got hurt, you got her up and finish that closet edition.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
Hello.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, let's talk about that though, right, because yes it's
romantic and we know that you're in a relationship and
y'all are now you have a family. But like some
of the songs to me sound like almost like a
rap girls like affirmation. Like when I listen to Chromhart's
Diaper Bag, it's like you're cheering yourself on. I know
you're dealing with a lot at the center.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
Yes, I'm cheering myself on and I like to like
when I'm in the booth, I'm big and myself up,
even bigger than my reality is right now, like beyond
what I can even see, And I want people to
take that away, especially the girls when they listen to
my music. It's like, I hate that the the people
can be so shallow to dumb that down to oh
(27:17):
this my man, my man, Like the message is so
much deeper than that, So I don't know, shout out
to the real music listeners and then people with real
emotions that can listen beyond the surface level.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
But I think also too, there as a conversation to
be had about why can't you be happy in love
and be loved properly?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Because they a misery love company. They want you to
be crying like them, and they want you to be
in a relationship with an ain't shient nigga like them,
and like, nah, baby, that ain't the that ain't the
reality over here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry that you can't relate. Sorry,
we're praying for y'all. Hope you experienced a love like
this one day.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I feel like they attack attack your life so much
like I remember even when you were pregnant. Then yeah,
it is your business when you want to announce your pregnancy, right,
it's your business when you want.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
To tell your family.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
It was the show in Japan and they.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
And they were like a lot a lot of I
think that's actually how I met your team, because I
was like, hey, I want to be we want to
be respectful over I know that. I mean, I've learned
a lot in this room, but it was more so
like you know, when you are expecting and it's a
lot that goals. And I learned from just that, like
that first couple months and trying to figure out those
(28:29):
trimesters and all that. But people after that show in
Japan were like a lot of was pregnant. Lot of pregnant.
But that hard to deal with the pressure to be
like put it out there.
Speaker 6 (28:38):
Yeah I was.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
I was in Japan crying in my room and I
had text my I text my team like y'all can
we go get a bachi or something because I'm just
not feeling it today. Mind you, My team didn't even know,
like only my best friend is my DJ, my manager
is like my sister, and my role manager Rico, it's
like my brother. Them the only people that knew at
(29:01):
that point, my assistant, my stylist, the women who dressed
me looka they did not know. Like nobody on my
team knew. So my family didn't even know. So like
my grandma is seeing this stuff on the internet and
she called my mama like.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Is it little pregnant damn, and so yeah, it's just
a point.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Yeah, my mama knew. I told my mama earlier. My
mama knew, but it was still like like my grandma,
like very close people to me that didn't know. When
I got dressed and I did the fit in y'all.
Speaker 6 (29:31):
I saw I didn't look pregnant. I did not look pregnant.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
But I guess like when you're performing, you not thinking
about sucking your stomach, and I really.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Did have just ate too.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Swelling you up like that.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
But then when I posted my pictures, right, my caption
was like along the lines of like, oh, I just
ate too much rum in y'all tripping like you know,
nah that girl pregnant, saying.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Oh yeah, but look what so what was it?
Speaker 7 (30:02):
Why did you hold on to it and keep it
from your family, not from the world, because like careous
about that, but like your family you want to wait
till you got past a certain point.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Yeah, it was more.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
So just like waiting until I got past a certain
point because I was still very very very early in Japan,
past a certain point. And I wanted to do it
special because a lot of my family live in Ohio, Okay,
on my mom's side, so I wanted to tell them
in a special way. So I didn't want them to
find out through social media. But and sometimes with the
(30:35):
life I'm living, I don't have their luxury no more.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
It is what.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I feel like, you did a really good job of
keeping a lot to yourself. It was the rock and
chair video too. We didn't even cover the story, but
I told them, I'm like, she's in a rocking chair,
so fans think that she had the baby I was.
I feel like that was gonna come to him. Let's
just let her, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:58):
I'ma be one hunt there.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
I figured people would know or speculate when I when
I posted that video, but that that was real life,
Like baby girl was on my chest. And if you
got a new boy, you know you cannot you cannot
move better move or she couldn't want to get on
that city.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
So I was like, shit, I gotta make this video.
It is what it is. Let me just try to
school go down a little bit.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
The video was like, right here, get the boos, we
get the little I was like, hey, I had to
cancel my events and talk a little bit about that too,
because what you're doing for other moms now that you
are a mother, it is a relationship that you have
with mothers now is different.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
It's so different.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Like I've been doing these like pop ups, meet and
greet albums, signing type things, and like to see the
embrace from mothers like they literally be in line with
their babies now and they be like, girl, I was
pregnant at the same time as you, or girl just
had my baby, and.
Speaker 6 (31:58):
I commend you for doing this.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
This is like a whole new relatability I have with
like my fast now. So it's so cool to see
like the I don't know, yeah, the embrace.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
You just happen. Moms feel seen a lot of times
a week where an it and it's like you don't
feel seen, you don't feel like you're working hard enough.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
That's the part of that postpartum depression as well.
Speaker 7 (32:20):
Like gosh, girl, I went through that there was times
where I did not feel seen and my husband couldn't
do anything.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
To help to make me feel better.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
You know what I mean that you just got to
come up out of it when you do so what
you're doing for them.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
How long does that last? Like that feeling that like
I'm not doing enough as a mom, or like.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
I've seen people say like they they don't have their
baby a year ago and they still have their days.
Speaker 7 (32:43):
So yeah, I feel like I'm just getting out of
my My daughter is one, she's going to be two
in August August twentieth, and I'm just getting back into
my bag of like I felt like I wasn't funny,
I wasn't writing comedy, I didn't know what to do here.
I'm sitting here dumbfounded every day. I'm just like you know,
you don't you feel like walls are closing in, and
(33:03):
then you feel guilty, like am I not doing enough?
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (33:07):
I think that's a lot, like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I was twenty one with the baby. Has has it
changed him at all?
Speaker 6 (33:14):
For sure? For sure?
Speaker 4 (33:21):
I love you so much.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
I love you so much.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
When you've got five more seconds, I want to ask
the question, I think you'd be great but it's like.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
The pooky pooky with the baby, like pooky, is he
like that with the baby? And then you go outside like.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
About my relationship.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
But yeah, yeah, E been sending me videos like yeah,
I've been crying looking at him.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Yeah, you said different because it's like when you when
you were the child, you see a whole different side.
Speaker 5 (33:48):
Working mysterious ways. Let me say that because I feel
like we both needed a girl. Yeah, no, no, it's
nice for that's I bet y'all needed a girl.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
One of the things I thought was I saw a
pick up. Big two was when you and twenty one Savages,
the mother of his other kids, hung out had a
good time. The videos viral Girls Night. I know with
just and what she talks about with her co parents
and but one of the biggest things I learned from
her was when you're in a good place, that type
of stuff is like a normal thing, Like we're all
family at that point. So when that type of stuff
is out there and you're changing the narrative around that,
(34:26):
how does it feel to get all of the like
conversation around it because you're in a good place about it,
But the world is like confused because they don't normally
see it.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
Yeah, that's why they are stay confused confused because every
time y'all think it's something and then it don't be that,
then they make up something else and then it's like,
but yeah, that was one of our children or fifth
grade graduation and we were kicking in. Yeah, people just
they gonna they're gonna continue to be confused.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
But see, that's why I wrote my book because it's
like people want to be stuff people want. I feel
like the people that are confused or acting confused, like
they like people can't co parent and you know, families
blend right.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
I feel like that's that's weird.
Speaker 7 (35:11):
You want to stay stuck in toxicity and operate out
of dysfunction when it's really a family, like you know
what I mean, you're happy, they're happy. Like she just said,
like she said, I ain't gonna go past this real quick.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
She literally was like.
Speaker 7 (35:25):
Our when it was one of our children graduation. That's
that's kids. One thing about it about them kids even
before my year. I don't play about them kids. Yeah,
I love I love my kids.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Mag mama, man, what that relationship was that something that
you were like, this is important for me to do,
like to build that relationship because sometimes it's just the
kids and with their mom as well.
Speaker 5 (35:49):
Yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. It's a family like families
coming all different shape sizes, it's family.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
It's family.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
That's the thing about that too, is if you follow
these blogs or follow these sites, they will tell you
your life that's.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Totally not true, but the people believe it.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Like people believe it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
Like I'm just thinking about some of the headlines I'm
seen and I'm like, God, damn, the attacked it is
shot a lotto.
Speaker 5 (36:18):
I let them attack me, though, because I could very
much clear clear everything up. But I feel like at
that point you just opening a new can of worms.
And then now.
Speaker 6 (36:26):
People know what bothered you with, you know, like how
to how to get under your skin. So it's like.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
I keep addressing it in the music, but the blogs
I feel like also too, without even speaking my all
my life, I've let stuff address stuff like y'all thought
it was one thing, then then you see us kicking
it and then like you know what I'm saying, So
it's like God gonna on, uh, he gonna reveal what's
(36:54):
supposed to be revealed, you know, because then get on
my face.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
I keep going back to that song because's the last
one I think I listened to Forgiving It. But when
you do the sidebach line, and I don't know if
it was about the that situation. I think a conversation
that people tried to throwing you was like the whole
marriage thing not merry thing. And it's like, at this point,
y'all are in a place where people should move on,
but they don't. They don't get out your face about that.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
No, because when you leave a door open, like I said,
like what, people don't know, they're gonna make up.
Speaker 6 (37:20):
But he not. And I don't even want to say that.
It's like that's his that's his story to tell you know.
I'm not. I'm not twenty one savage. Like we we happy,
we do it works for us, and people make up
with they don't know. That's what I'll say.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Well, I think you're done a damn good job at
all the things. So congratulations. I saw today a two
chart data said that this was one of your biggest
album debuts.
Speaker 6 (37:44):
Yes, it's my biggest album debut. I'm feeling on top
of the world.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 5 (37:50):

his hands all over my life right now, and.
Speaker 6 (37:58):
Shoot, yeah, I feel I feel so good.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
To album together, so I have to.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
They got hostage on the album.
Speaker 7 (38:07):
Besides that, the album together, maybe the people won't even
maybe you know they want it.
Speaker 6 (38:12):
Maybe I don't know. I don't know. Y'all might be retiring.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
You're not retiring.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
I didn't just enter this happy happy my wife we
talked about earlier, happy girlfriend. Oh I had a baby yet,
So I'm feeling these songs. My man was like, I'm
glad you got something you can listen to now because
you'll be playing you'd be trying it with all the
mother songs. So you gotta keep going for me, because
once I get in my other era, I'm needing somewhere music.
Speaker 6 (38:34):
Yeah, Like, just.
Speaker 5 (38:35):
As much as people be like, I don't got no man,
I ain't pregnant, but you don't want to hear that music.
Speaker 6 (38:39):
You should have made this.
Speaker 5 (38:40):
