I haven't heard that's one playing a long time. You
don't have Pandora, then you don't. Yeah, I'm sorry. Welcome
morning to you. Good morning. You are on R and
B devals. The first thing we got to talk about
your voice has always been like that. Yes, yeah, I
(00:46):
saw an interview that well, I don't know from birth
because I can't talk. Okay, when he was a kid.
I mean when I was a kid, I didn't talk
for probably the first three or four years. I just
nodded my head until then when I did, I was
really shy and I's talk really soft. And then as
I got old too, you know, I got a lot bigger.
Now what your voice? Is it a problemo? That's just
(01:06):
your voice now, I mean because it's light now, it's
this is this? Is that? Two hundred times? No, it's um.
I just talk over my larynx and that's it. Right. Well,
it really does work for you, though, because I think
it's important to have a distinctive voice. Obviously, people hear you,
they know it's you. And you said you've been getting
voice overwork, So yeah, well I've been. I'm signed to
(01:29):
an agency, so it's us. You could play a hell
of a cartoon. I want to be a bear, all right,
so guy, I gotta hit this. How would a bear
do a bear voice? Do a seed action? I would
and the bear he would talk like she would talk
like me. I'm Elmo, and you be the bear. Okay,
all right, listen, let's pretend that pretend that you are
(01:50):
the mother bear and your son, um mvy bear is gay.
He just came out. What would you say to him? Goodness?
How I would ask you? Um, it's okay, pit different
respond go ahead, Oh carry mommy. Everything he does sounds
like everything everything he does goes up for acting. Yeah,
(02:12):
he always sounds like Emma for some reason. Mark goodness.
All right, So let's let's start from the beginning. So
you all me you're artists from Compton, California, and from
South Central, South Central, And the first time we heard
from you, of course, was Something in My Heart was
a single that you, doctor Drake produced. That's not the
first time. That's the first time I heard of you. Really, Yes,
(02:33):
I'm sorry now, Actually the first time Drake produced to
me was turning Off the Lights. But that was his group,
remember the world Class Racking Crew, Yes, when he had
the glitter, Yeah, that one. Now were you guys dating
at that point or was it from working together that
to establish the relationship. Well, that's when I first met him.
I know Orlando first. I met Lando and the Mona
(02:56):
Lisa was their lead singer, and she couldn't make it
that night. So Lando called me and said, hey, could
you come to the song? And I went to the
studio and he hand me a piece of paper and
I went in with my own melody and everything did
it in one take, and that was dre and Yellow
was in there and I said hello and go bye.
And then you heard it on the radio and you
said and I oh, my father said I think that's
(03:18):
Hugh And I was like, that is because I'm catching
three buses and I didn't know. He didn't say anything,
und I'll just put it out. But I had no right,
I wasn't even in the group, So you did you
sign anything like to release nothing? I didn't know any better.
I'm sixteen, so you still dated doctor Dre even with
all that glitter on he had. Well, I didn't. I
didn't even know about World Class Wrecking Crew. I wasn't.
(03:38):
I didn't know, And yeah, I came in and then
I found out that they what they did and started
listening to their stuff. So at first they were more
of a assoft the group World Class Wrecking crews. Okay,
they were totally two different sides. Okay, okay, world Class
Wrecking Crew was more like um and Dragon is that's
(03:59):
a good word, right, because they loved Prince. So if
you go back, that's really was. Prince was like, okay, right, right,
so that's I think we're a lot of it. Yeah
and dragonis you know, so they love Prince. You could tell.
The whole style was kind of the head price. It
really is. It was Prince issue. So didn't then they
(04:20):
met you when then they went to NWA. You know,
I don't know what I do the man. Um. Yeah, no, actually, um,
I wasn't dating him at that point. He I really
didn't start. Um, it was more it was months later
before I did. You used to see a lot of things,
like other girls in the studio? Did make you feel like,
(04:41):
I don't know if I could date a guy in
the industry. Yeah, I did see a lot of girls,
but they weren't Yeah, I did, but it wasn't me.
It wasn't about to say no, but no. But I
mean it didn't bother me at the time because you know,
I didn't you know, when you just infatuated with someone
that's not you know, you're I don't know. People come
for reasons and season, so he could have just been
(05:03):
for a season. And you were so young too. Yeah,
I wasn't trying to be booed up. So okay, you
think that men in the industry are just expected to cheat,
Like in retrospect, when you look back at everything that
happened and you know the men that you've dated, do
you feel like, well, these are men in positions of power.
All these women went them. So in order for me
to feel like I could have a relationship with somebody
(05:23):
like that, I had a discussion with my friends about
this the other day. Well, like, well, guys in the
industry they just cheat, and it is what it is.
You have to just accept that you do at some point,
and if you don't, you'd be like me and single.
But my grandmother what it's true. But my grandmother she
told me, she says, you can leave that man, but
all men are going to cheat. All men well she
(05:44):
said there were very few that wouldn't, but they'refore a
few between, and she was right. I do. What do
you think the best relationship you've ever been in, like
with who me? By yourself? I'm the one time you
never felt like you had a guy treat you just
extremely well, and maybe you dogs him out because you was,
you know, feeling yourself. I think I think, Um, the
(06:05):
generosity and the protectiveness was always there, But then I've
learned that that was controlling, but I didn't see it
that way. So now so now you you start dating
doctor Dre and everything is fine. He's producing your stuff
and you guys never got married. We know we were engaged,
and I never um because he wasn't ready. I told him,
(06:26):
you know, when you want to stop being doctor Dre
and be Andre. Then you know I was serious if
I was ever going to get married. But you had
a kid. We didn't have a kid. We were together
five years before we had a child. Years you finally
had a child and still decided not to get mad.
Just for what? And what broke ella? What made you
turn away? What made you leave? Same thing, just the same,
just waiting him out? Girl at the girl fighting. I'm
(06:48):
twenty seven. I finally put my fist down and said
I just can't do it. That was one thing, and
it was it was a lot, but that was really
you get tired. You guys used to fist fight a lot.
I didn't put it well, I tried, but bigger than
oh yeah, I was losing. He was losing. Yeah, the
little moment it wasn't It wasn't funny, but a joke
about yeah, shouldn't he said he started his company beats
(07:13):
by Dre was from an incident with you. Did you
find that funny? Or it was? Yeah? I get it.
I give that. I get her sense to you, Michell
coming from her, it fell were coming from someone else.
I'd probably really took it the other way, but now
I know how she thinks. So it wasn't It wasn't
a bad joke. I mean, it was actually quite clever.
(07:34):
So right now we're dating. But I'm sure that was
difficult for you because I feel like for you, I
know you first when they actually do R and B divas,
you turned it down. But then you said, Kelly Price
came and asked you directly, right, and you decided to
do it. So it seems like it's been really therapeutic
for you. You've been able to come out and talk
about a lot of different things that people might not
have known before. Was it difficult for you to come
(07:55):
out and talk about your relationship with doctor Dre and him,
you know, putting his hands on you? And I know,
did he break your nose or yeah, he did? He
broke your nose? I had died black eyes, I have
a cracked rib crack rib um. Yes, just amazing. Did
you feel like you never wanted anybody to know that
(08:16):
like you were? Were you embarrassed about it or do
you think that it was a normal and everybody that
knew it and you never called the police one time?
How do you break your nose with his fist? Or yeah?
And has he since like apologized, I know this was
a long time ago, but after he's so you know,
I'm sure a lot of people who have addressed it, like, Okay,
(08:36):
we never knew you were like this. Did he apologize
to you and say, you know what I was? You know,
messed up back then we were young. I made some
big mistakes. No, he hadn't apologized to this day, and
it wouldn't even do any good because it's the past, right,
I will pass that. But I do remember when he
first hit me. Um, he when he first gave me
my very first black eye. Hey, he we laid in
(08:58):
the bed and he cried. He was crying. I was
crying because you know, I was shocking, hurt and pain.
I don't know why he was crying, but he said,
you know, I'm really sorry. I think that's the only
time he'd ever said it was sorry. And he um
he said, I'll never hit you on that I again, okay,
And I was like yeah, okay, and we fell asleep.
So years later I was talking to my friend and
(09:19):
I joked and said, yeah, you know, he said he
wasn't going to hit me and his eye ever again.
So he started hitting me in that one. So you know,
I just you start humor and you have to to
get through the pain. So it became, you know, we
were I can turn her. I mean we we we
I can you know, Tina, So just it was normal.
It was what made you stay? Was he putting it
(09:40):
down in bed? Was it the money? Like what made
you stay? Oh wow? Yeah, he had to say, but
what about me? I was doing my part? Yeah, I
just yeah, so yeah, I mean, I'm yeah, so you know,
I mean he could he was coming back. So, um,
I think we're nicety, I mean he oh no, But
(10:01):
I think it was a multitude of things though, because
when you when you've been with somebody so long, you
become coll dependent upon them. Man, you your self esteem
is what they've given you. Now, right now, how do
you leave doctor Dre and go to doctor Dre's enemy.
We'll see. They weren't quite enemies. You've even said, you
even said, this night is the one that kind of
taught you a man is not supposed to put his hand. Yeah,
(10:21):
Sugar was always the protector and he was like, no,
you don't have to do that. You would think Sugar
would be the one. Yeah, I know, from the reputation
that he has that would be really aggressive. And but
how did that happen? Because they were business partners and
then you just left, Dree went to shit like they were.
Actually it was a time lapsing. It wasn't that I
did not just take my shirt to shake him and
(10:42):
roll love on off and roll love. Okay, now that's
hospitable talk. Um No, Actually, Drey was. I went away
and um I was going for like two and a
half months, and um I came back and they said, oh,
doctor Dre's engaged to say, I had already had it
out with this girl before I left. One of the girls.
He cheated on you with his wife. Of now right
(11:03):
back then, that was one of the girls. Yeah, he
was sleeping with them. So I was like, come on,
you know, and I mean she was she was like
she knew she wanted you know what she wanted. It
was hands down. She was the first one that came
into his life through what I went. Oh god, you know,
she saw the big house, she saw the kid that
she she was looking at our things going oh so
(11:25):
you know, the other girls just wanted to know. I'm
saying she she knew, she knew what money was. Why
the other girls just was happy to be sleeping with him. Yeah,
to be like, you're gonna do me a record? Okay,
that you know, but this she was absolutely I mean
she came straight for the chat because she was out.
She's with doctor Dre for the straight for the chat.
And I saw that and I just went listen. If
(11:46):
he can't see it, I'm not staying around to help
him out. You know, you just get tired. And so
at that point, Um, it was another couple of years before.
I mean she put me and she could be here
to become my confident because because it sh but at
that time and shre noting with each other. Right, No,
that's what I'm trying to She said she had no
idea that they didn't get on. They I didn't know
(12:08):
because Dra didn't have an issue with you. She'll cad
an issue with Dre. But he kept it quiet at
in the beginning. Did you tell doctor Dre before you
started dating Sugar? Now? But what you didn't tell me
he had a big ring. I'll have finger he didn't
call me. I don't think why you guys think it's
so unfair. He sat with Um. I mean, every woman,
(12:28):
I can't throw our house in the minute. I just
because he knew this guy, I'm the back. No, you
know what it is just we see it as doctor
Dre sug Knight, the enemies. So what we here? When
you when you when you come and you say you had,
you know, a relationship with Dre and Sugars, like, whoo,
that was his enemy. That's the way to get back.
So you think I did it to get back or
even oh I don't know, that's I'm asking no, no, no.
(12:49):
But if I did and it hurt, good, that's life,
I guess for Eving. But you did end up marrying
Sugar Night, so I fake marriage? Are you fake? It
was a fake marriage when he's already married to somebody else.
And don't tell you were so listen it was a
lot going on. It was all kind of scandals. You were, well,
(13:13):
I was naive. Did you did you have a ceremony
and everything? Yeah? Well, jail one, he was in prison.
So he was in jail for six I didn't know, okay,
And then the judge told me when I had to
go get a real divoice, he said, well, did you
see a man in a black rope? As to no,
it wasn't black. He said, well then you're not married,
(13:36):
but you were. He was in jail six of the
eight years that you guys, Yeah we're together. He was
actually six and a half years. So it was a
great marriage because I didn't see him offing, right, and
he wasn't cheating on you in jail. Well, yes he was.
I had my day and then we've seen on your
jail the women coming in. You know how but are
you probably never been like he was cheating on you
with jail, with other people in jail. Oh no, no, no,
(13:58):
don't start that woman. I didn't say that. I don't know. No,
it was okay, I had one day, that the girl
had one day, and that the girl had one day,
and another girl okay, because I know they do that.
Well yeah, another girl, Well they would they would try
to hold me up so that I could pass her
and but passing. But I had details, so detail was
smarter than they were. Were you ever scared of Sugar?
(14:22):
I feared n't. It was why would you marry him?
Be with him because it seems like the world for him. Well,
because at the time I didn't see all that. He
always saw his good I always saw his good side. Sugar,
was you don't need to do that. You're a good girl.
Stay here, stay fer, do this, do that. He didn't
drink and smoke at that time. Champagne was the most
I'd ever seen him. Do you feel fearful all of them? Aren't? Now?
(14:43):
You scared him? Now? Absolutely not, because he's in jail.
Well know, if I wasn't scared of don't even when
he got out, I talked to him now like he
talked to me. It took me many years to get
to that point. What are people? What are the things
that people don't know about sugar that they should know
because when they see showed, they see this big god
that's scary. He's almost like the big debo. They look
at sugars the devil and sometimes um, you know, and
(15:09):
but you know what, but there's a good side in
the best side to all of us. We all have
it in us. He just he's like an animal. The
best way to describe him is he he has animal
instead what I'm saying, who, No, he's no. Some poodles
do attack before they think, and then they come back
(15:30):
and licking wound. And that's how he is. Like he'll
attack you without and then he'll come back and you
know what, man, and then he'll explain that yeah, but
he doesn't know any other way to interact with you,
like if you bumped into him. He doesn't know how
to just go ahead, you know, he like grab your
shoulder and go, man, did you see what? You know?
You know he's already there as opposed to just go on, okay, man,
(15:52):
he already called there. But then he comes back down
and go yeah, man, you know you just can't be
doing that. And then he starts giving you all this
great this great words, you know, which is what he
should have done. But what's the craziest thing she has
done with you? Don't say nothing, no killing nobody. We
don't want nobody to go to jail. But the craziest
thing besides we didn't kill it allegedly manslaughter, murder that
(16:12):
he's done to me just around when you was around.
It's the craziest thing you've seen. Well, that's just did
I didn't get to see all that. It was always
rumor that I heard it, you know. Um. I think
the one of the craziest thing he did was when
he tried to hit me. He only tried one time,
and he's so he was so strong that he didn't.
(16:33):
He opened hand, slapped me and throw my whole jar
out of had to go onto emergency. He had had
to be hit you. Yes, he smacked yeah, backhand with
a backhand, and he was he's so strong. But it oh,
this just was over here and it wouldn't go back.
So I finally had to call him and say, you know,
you didn't have to come and take me to emergency. Well,
(16:56):
so he does that to you and then he has
to take you to the well. It was he the
data the police or awe. Yeah, so he he got
there quick, he was on time. That was you not
wanting to snitch on somebody. Boy, You just did this
to me. But I don't want to call the cops
on you, because she didn't want to call an ambulance
because then she's got to do a police I had
to do all that. Even when I got to the
(17:17):
hospital and they said what happened, I said, I get
hit by football. I do that you got hit by
a football. That you were playing football, but one of
your friends hit you in the face and then and
then but that's now she knew it wasn't true until
she write it. So once they dragged me to put
to the date she was talking. She says, I know
you didn't get hit by football because you can tell
(17:40):
me what it is. And it was funny because he
wouldn't leave the room. They kept telling him. He was
standing there like this and all I was like one
in an algora. M m m m. Do you watch Empire? Yeah?
Sometimes he said this season finale, the good thing they
didn't give, you know, an ambience. You didn't been telling
everything everything? Yeah, because once yeah, because I have told
(18:00):
your had I'm not there. Yeah, he wouldn't leave. He
wouldn't leave the rule. But I think Sugar's needed in La.
I think I think Sugars needed. I think he keeps
a lot of the suckers. And now because Sugars, he's
a debo, so he will. I think that every great
city needs a debo, meaning somebody that basically protects the land.
Like if you go to Detroit, it's trick trick. If
you go to La it's chilled. If you go to
(18:22):
the people that just make sure everything's good. Because a
lot of times, I know Sugar does a lot for
the community, like they talk about sometimes he gets back
to the kids. You see that side of him. But
the people, that's right. Yeah. I saw him saving houses
for the homeboys and mothers who wasn't called foreclosure. Cauld
him out for in the morningcle and I need this?
Can you help me out? Him getting out of his
bed and going to help people with their problems. He
(18:44):
had nothing to do with that. So I used to
think that I was in daring to take on other
people's problems. Although but now I learned later that you know,
if you do, if he do you one favorite, you
owe him five. Right, So that's it. Yeah? Let me
ask you, after you date Sugar and whatever, have your
fake marriage, how can you date anybody after that? Or
(19:05):
is it some or is it people are too scared
to date you? Of course, I think guys are scared
to take me. Oh, now, hold your daughter twelve? You can't.
What do you tell sars daughter? Go do your homework.
I tell my daddy. You're right, you'll tell your daddy.
I'm not mess. I didn't raise you like that. She's
not as like that. She's bailing man. But I'm sure
(19:26):
that it's you know, your relationship with him is different.
I'm sure now you can do whatever you want. I mean,
you've been went on a date, you know, on R
and B Divis and now you said you're not dating
anymore after I'm good. Yeah, yeah, he's a nice guy.
I'm do you still get money from all that? Your
son is older now so you don't get anything. Did
(19:48):
you get a lot of money from doctor Dre Did
he take care of his kids the right way? Or no?
I had you taken the court, but yeah, he finally did.
Did he see his son or was it just monetary?
When my mom and my gllamma died, he came into
my son's life. So that was cool and I'm grateful that.
I always say they have a good relationship, so yeah,
that's that's what's important, right. And you said you're not
(20:09):
gonna have another one of the kids on this show
because both of their dads don't want them, Well they didn't.
So what happening was Bailly is on one seeing at
Crissette's house because she wanted she begged and I had
full custodyether so we mean sugar arguing for months about it,
and m I just said, you know what, she loves Crissette.
She calls her Super Criz and we were wearing wings
(20:33):
and she loves you know it was fun, so I thought,
what harm could it be? And I really would want
to see what he would do if I defied him,
you know, and I did and I was like wow.
And he didn't call and say anything. So he seems
serious about his kids too. Oh he's very that's the
one thing I said. He stalks me to be a
(20:54):
part of her life. And Chrissette Michelle is no longer
on this show. And I know that was a really
good end of yours. But you guys didn't tech because
I know some of the other people said they haven't
spoken to her. Yeah, we're staying, dad, And are you
thinking about getting a life culture or anything like that?
About therapy is really good, So I'm kind of sticking
with therapy, you know, I mean a life culture. I
(21:16):
may graduate too, but right now I just got it,
you know, focus and you know, figure out, like life
to me is not about where you are. Sometimes you
have to go back and understand why you are the
where you are. And I never thought that was true.
But then when they connect the dads for you, you go,
I would have never saw that, you know, Why did
(21:39):
I date the same kind of man? And you know,
and you look for the same kind of and you know,
and you attract the same kind. It's not them, it's
you first of all. So they teach you just a lot,
and a lot of it comes from you being a
child in your household and what you see that you've
put into your subconscious. Now, people always talk about sug
Night being involved with the murder of Biggie or the
(22:00):
murder of Tupac. Now you around him during our times, right,
he was in prison. He was in prison. So do
you think that he could have possibly been involved with
any of that? My honest opinion is I think he
took the credit. Oh, I'm sorry, I just I don't.
I just think he took the credit. I mean it
just I don't. There was no signs to me, do
(22:23):
you know what I mean? I don't. I don't. My
wife's nowhere in there. Sheold. If she was, I would
I left a long time ago because I'm scared. You
can't be scared now, he's an old man. I'm totally
I'm not scared of him. I took the video of
Sugar allegedly running over dude. I am still scared. I
don't mess with him. Well, he allegedly banned well he was.
(22:45):
I seen that point he did run them. We don't
other reason behind the I don't know if he was
trying to flee or he was trying to flee. Yeah,
that guy was hitting him through the window, so he
was in there when she was trying to open the door.
He was keeping trying to push the door. So he
just say it okay and took it back to check up.
But you know, the rapture me is so pat that
(23:06):
you also but you also are working on a book. Yes,
let's talk about this book. What's in this book? My life?
It's about me, your life and everything, your relationships and
what you've conquered and all or everything. Do you feel
like the book is also part of your therapy? Just together,
absolutely things out from the beginning. So you're gonna start
the beginning of your life. I'm gonna be like and
(23:28):
being like Jesus. You know the first I t year,
You're gonna lose. Let it go, Just let it go.
Let's start from the good part. Yeah, you guys are
coming out to I do want to tell a story
about my mom and my dad so the people understand
why I'm so um, I'm not connected, you know, So
(23:49):
why I didn't see what may look wrong to other
people didn't affect me. Right, So your dad was abusive
towards your mom. No, they were never together. Oh, they
were never together. They're okay, Yes, I was born out
of sex like my daughter, right, yes, okay, so all right,
so they were never together. And then, um, so you
(24:10):
feel like you don't have a connection with them, Well
they weren't. They weren't parents that were affectionate. And um,
they weren't. They weren't. They didn't tell me they loved me.
They haven't. They don't say it right. What about your
your voice? They had to joke you a lot in school,
did they? No? I was quiet, really, I was a
good student. Show I didn't have to worry, not at all. Yeah.
(24:34):
I stayed in my lane. And you were business wise?
Would you say you were pretty good business wise? Because
I know they always say, you know, with you and
when you were with Sugar, you did a lot of
stuff behind the scenes for the company. I tried, and
then he would destroy it. So like what kind of
things were you doing? Um? Well, one thing I can
(24:56):
say I told him to do. I said, why don't
you just shed that froll down and grass and great
and Grace landed, you know, like Elvis's stayed and just
make it so hard to get that it would be
worth the memorabilia would be worth so much. Right, he
didn't do it. I was like please. Then he came
to me many years later and said, you're right. No,
(25:16):
if he had it was the catalog alone, Yeah, just
a catalog nothing. I mean, the memorabilia alone would have
been still fortune. So he would listen to me. So
I said, you know, let me leave this alone, because
you're gonna come out broke. That must have been me
and my miss Cleota. What made you finally decide to
(25:37):
leave him? After holding it down? Okay, he was locked
up for six and a half years, having a child together,
you know, thinking you were married, watching all these women
coming and out. Why did you finally say, okay, I'm done.
Real short story had a mistress, but he told me
a different story about her, and I had seen her
work back when we were friends, so I believe that
she was just his homeboy's friend, you know, girlfriend, right,
(26:01):
and he was just taking care of her and her
son because he was he had got life in prison.
It says the code of the guys like I'm gonna
take care. Yeah, and I thought that was endearing to me.
I thought, that is so sweet. That's hope. Damn I
was that is so sweet. And kind of find out
when and about I'll say, oh, wound ninety six, pout
(26:22):
ninety five, when put ninety five going in nine ninety six,
I found out she was the main mistress for many, many,
many years. And then once she got pregnant a year
or two, a year and a half after I had
my daughter, I said, that's it. I can't oh, that
was it because I felt like a complete fool. That's
(26:43):
when it really and you probably welcome this woman into no,
but I mean, look what I did. I gave up everything.
I lost friends, I lost you know, and here you
know you just I just thought I was so your
friends were telling you leave this man alone, you gotta
get away, and had Well yeah, well I had no friends.
I couldn't have any male friends. He didn't like my
girlfriend of all all the years, so I was reclusive
(27:05):
and I was the princess in the castle. Wow. Well,

because I'm sure you had a lot of information, you know,
I was there when it was starting from and you
were the only woman that was on Ruthless records. You were,
you know, I don't understand why they wouldn't put you.
That's their story and I have minds, right, Okay, that's

I haven't heard that's one playing a long time. You
don't have Pandora, then you don't. Yeah, I'm sorry. Welcome
morning to you. Good morning. You are on R and
B devals. The first thing we got to talk about
your voice has always been like that. Yes, yeah, I
(00:46):
saw an interview that well, I don't know from birth
because I can't talk. Okay, when he was a kid.
I mean when I was a kid, I didn't talk
for probably the first three or four years. I just
nodded my head until then when I did, I was
really shy and I's talk really soft. And then as
I got old too, you know, I got a lot bigger.
Now what your voice? Is it a problemo? That's just
(01:06):
your voice now, I mean because it's light now, it's
this is this? Is that? Two hundred times? No, it's um.
I just talk over my larynx and that's it. Right. Well,
it really does work for you, though, because I think
it's important to have a distinctive voice. Obviously, people hear you,
they know it's you. And you said you've been getting
voice overwork, So yeah, well I've been. I'm signed to
(01:29):
an agency, so it's us. You could play a hell
of a cartoon. I want to be a bear, all right,
so guy, I gotta hit this. How would a bear
do a bear voice? Do a seed action? I would
and the bear he would talk like she would talk
like me. I'm Elmo, and you be the bear. Okay,
all right, listen, let's pretend that pretend that you are
(01:50):
the mother bear and your son, um mvy bear is gay.
He just came out. What would you say to him? Goodness?
How I would ask you? Um, it's okay, pit different
respond go ahead, Oh carry mommy. Everything he does sounds
like everything everything he does goes up for acting. Yeah,
(02:12):
he always sounds like Emma for some reason. Mark goodness.
All right, So let's let's start from the beginning. So
you all me you're artists from Compton, California, and from
South Central, South Central, And the first time we heard
from you, of course, was Something in My Heart was
a single that you, doctor Drake produced. That's not the
first time. That's the first time I heard of you. Really, Yes,
(02:33):
I'm sorry now, Actually the first time Drake produced to
me was turning Off the Lights. But that was his group,
remember the world Class Racking Crew, Yes, when he had
the glitter, Yeah, that one. Now were you guys dating
at that point or was it from working together that
to establish the relationship. Well, that's when I first met him.
I know Orlando first. I met Lando and the Mona
(02:56):
Lisa was their lead singer, and she couldn't make it
that night. So Lando called me and said, hey, could
you come to the song? And I went to the
studio and he hand me a piece of paper and
I went in with my own melody and everything did
it in one take, and that was dre and Yellow
was in there and I said hello and go bye.
And then you heard it on the radio and you
said and I oh, my father said I think that's
(03:18):
Hugh And I was like, that is because I'm catching
three buses and I didn't know. He didn't say anything,
und I'll just put it out. But I had no right,
I wasn't even in the group, So you did you
sign anything like to release nothing? I didn't know any better.
I'm sixteen, so you still dated doctor Dre even with
all that glitter on he had. Well, I didn't. I
didn't even know about World Class Wrecking Crew. I wasn't.
(03:38):
I didn't know, And yeah, I came in and then
I found out that they what they did and started
listening to their stuff. So at first they were more
of a assoft the group World Class Wrecking crews. Okay,
they were totally two different sides. Okay, okay, world Class
Wrecking Crew was more like um and Dragon is that's
(03:59):
a good word, right, because they loved Prince. So if
you go back, that's really was. Prince was like, okay, right, right,
so that's I think we're a lot of it. Yeah
and dragonis you know, so they love Prince. You could tell.
The whole style was kind of the head price. It
really is. It was Prince issue. So didn't then they
(04:20):
met you when then they went to NWA. You know,
I don't know what I do the man. Um. Yeah, no, actually, um,
I wasn't dating him at that point. He I really
didn't start. Um, it was more it was months later
before I did. You used to see a lot of things,
like other girls in the studio? Did make you feel like,
(04:41):
I don't know if I could date a guy in
the industry. Yeah, I did see a lot of girls,
but they weren't Yeah, I did, but it wasn't me.
It wasn't about to say no, but no. But I
mean it didn't bother me at the time because you know,
I didn't you know, when you just infatuated with someone
that's not you know, you're I don't know. People come
for reasons and season, so he could have just been
(05:03):
for a season. And you were so young too. Yeah,
I wasn't trying to be booed up. So okay, you
think that men in the industry are just expected to cheat,
Like in retrospect, when you look back at everything that
happened and you know the men that you've dated, do
you feel like, well, these are men in positions of power.
All these women went them. So in order for me
to feel like I could have a relationship with somebody
(05:23):
like that, I had a discussion with my friends about
this the other day. Well, like, well, guys in the
industry they just cheat, and it is what it is.
You have to just accept that you do at some point,
and if you don't, you'd be like me and single.
But my grandmother what it's true. But my grandmother she
told me, she says, you can leave that man, but
all men are going to cheat. All men well she
(05:44):
said there were very few that wouldn't, but they'refore a
few between, and she was right. I do. What do
you think the best relationship you've ever been in, like
with who me? By yourself? I'm the one time you
never felt like you had a guy treat you just
extremely well, and maybe you dogs him out because you was,
you know, feeling yourself. I think I think, Um, the
(06:05):
generosity and the protectiveness was always there, But then I've
learned that that was controlling, but I didn't see it
that way. So now so now you you start dating
doctor Dre and everything is fine. He's producing your stuff
and you guys never got married. We know we were engaged,
and I never um because he wasn't ready. I told him,
(06:26):
you know, when you want to stop being doctor Dre
and be Andre. Then you know I was serious if
I was ever going to get married. But you had
a kid. We didn't have a kid. We were together
five years before we had a child. Years you finally
had a child and still decided not to get mad.
Just for what? And what broke ella? What made you
turn away? What made you leave? Same thing, just the same,
just waiting him out? Girl at the girl fighting. I'm
(06:48):
twenty seven. I finally put my fist down and said
I just can't do it. That was one thing, and
it was it was a lot, but that was really
you get tired. You guys used to fist fight a lot.
I didn't put it well, I tried, but bigger than
oh yeah, I was losing. He was losing. Yeah, the
little moment it wasn't It wasn't funny, but a joke
about yeah, shouldn't he said he started his company beats
(07:13):
by Dre was from an incident with you. Did you
find that funny? Or it was? Yeah? I get it.
I give that. I get her sense to you, Michell
coming from her, it fell were coming from someone else.
I'd probably really took it the other way, but now
I know how she thinks. So it wasn't It wasn't
a bad joke. I mean, it was actually quite clever.
(07:34):
So right now we're dating. But I'm sure that was
difficult for you because I feel like for you, I
know you first when they actually do R and B divas,
you turned it down. But then you said, Kelly Price
came and asked you directly, right, and you decided to
do it. So it seems like it's been really therapeutic
for you. You've been able to come out and talk
about a lot of different things that people might not
have known before. Was it difficult for you to come
(07:55):
out and talk about your relationship with doctor Dre and him,
you know, putting his hands on you? And I know,
did he break your nose or yeah, he did? He
broke your nose? I had died black eyes, I have
a cracked rib crack rib um. Yes, just amazing. Did
you feel like you never wanted anybody to know that
(08:16):
like you were? Were you embarrassed about it or do
you think that it was a normal and everybody that
knew it and you never called the police one time?
How do you break your nose with his fist? Or yeah?
And has he since like apologized, I know this was
a long time ago, but after he's so you know,
I'm sure a lot of people who have addressed it, like, Okay,
(08:36):
we never knew you were like this. Did he apologize
to you and say, you know what I was? You know,
messed up back then we were young. I made some
big mistakes. No, he hadn't apologized to this day, and
it wouldn't even do any good because it's the past, right,
I will pass that. But I do remember when he
first hit me. Um, he when he first gave me
my very first black eye. Hey, he we laid in
(08:58):
the bed and he cried. He was crying. I was
crying because you know, I was shocking, hurt and pain.
I don't know why he was crying, but he said,
you know, I'm really sorry. I think that's the only
time he'd ever said it was sorry. And he um
he said, I'll never hit you on that I again, okay,
And I was like yeah, okay, and we fell asleep.
So years later I was talking to my friend and
(09:19):
I joked and said, yeah, you know, he said he
wasn't going to hit me and his eye ever again.
So he started hitting me in that one. So you know,
I just you start humor and you have to to
get through the pain. So it became, you know, we
were I can turn her. I mean we we we
I can you know, Tina, So just it was normal.
It was what made you stay? Was he putting it
(09:40):
down in bed? Was it the money? Like what made
you stay? Oh wow? Yeah, he had to say, but
what about me? I was doing my part? Yeah, I
just yeah, so yeah, I mean, I'm yeah, so you know,
I mean he could he was coming back. So, um,
I think we're nicety, I mean he oh no, But
(10:01):
I think it was a multitude of things though, because
when you when you've been with somebody so long, you
become coll dependent upon them. Man, you your self esteem
is what they've given you. Now, right now, how do
you leave doctor Dre and go to doctor Dre's enemy.
We'll see. They weren't quite enemies. You've even said, you
even said, this night is the one that kind of
taught you a man is not supposed to put his hand. Yeah,
(10:21):
Sugar was always the protector and he was like, no,
you don't have to do that. You would think Sugar
would be the one. Yeah, I know, from the reputation
that he has that would be really aggressive. And but
how did that happen? Because they were business partners and
then you just left, Dree went to shit like they were.
Actually it was a time lapsing. It wasn't that I
did not just take my shirt to shake him and
(10:42):
roll love on off and roll love. Okay, now that's
hospitable talk. Um No, Actually, Drey was. I went away
and um I was going for like two and a
half months, and um I came back and they said, oh,
doctor Dre's engaged to say, I had already had it
out with this girl before I left. One of the girls.
He cheated on you with his wife. Of now right
(11:03):
back then, that was one of the girls. Yeah, he
was sleeping with them. So I was like, come on,
you know, and I mean she was she was like
she knew she wanted you know what she wanted. It
was hands down. She was the first one that came
into his life through what I went. Oh god, you know,
she saw the big house, she saw the kid that
she she was looking at our things going oh so
(11:25):
you know, the other girls just wanted to know. I'm
saying she she knew, she knew what money was. Why
the other girls just was happy to be sleeping with him. Yeah,
to be like, you're gonna do me a record? Okay,
that you know, but this she was absolutely I mean
she came straight for the chat because she was out.
She's with doctor Dre for the straight for the chat.
And I saw that and I just went listen. If
(11:46):
he can't see it, I'm not staying around to help
him out. You know, you just get tired. And so
at that point, Um, it was another couple of years before.
I mean she put me and she could be here
to become my confident because because it sh but at
that time and shre noting with each other. Right, No,
that's what I'm trying to She said she had no
idea that they didn't get on. They I didn't know
(12:08):
because Dra didn't have an issue with you. She'll cad
an issue with Dre. But he kept it quiet at
in the beginning. Did you tell doctor Dre before you
started dating Sugar? Now? But what you didn't tell me
he had a big ring. I'll have finger he didn't
call me. I don't think why you guys think it's
so unfair. He sat with Um. I mean, every woman,
(12:28):
I can't throw our house in the minute. I just
because he knew this guy, I'm the back. No, you
know what it is just we see it as doctor
Dre sug Knight, the enemies. So what we here? When
you when you when you come and you say you had,
you know, a relationship with Dre and Sugars, like, whoo,
that was his enemy. That's the way to get back.
So you think I did it to get back or
even oh I don't know, that's I'm asking no, no, no.
(12:49):
But if I did and it hurt, good, that's life,
I guess for Eving. But you did end up marrying
Sugar Night, so I fake marriage? Are you fake? It
was a fake marriage when he's already married to somebody else.
And don't tell you were so listen it was a
lot going on. It was all kind of scandals. You were, well,
(13:13):
I was naive. Did you did you have a ceremony
and everything? Yeah? Well, jail one, he was in prison.
So he was in jail for six I didn't know, okay,
And then the judge told me when I had to
go get a real divoice, he said, well, did you
see a man in a black rope? As to no,
it wasn't black. He said, well then you're not married,
(13:36):
but you were. He was in jail six of the
eight years that you guys, Yeah we're together. He was
actually six and a half years. So it was a
great marriage because I didn't see him offing, right, and
he wasn't cheating on you in jail. Well, yes he was.
I had my day and then we've seen on your
jail the women coming in. You know how but are
you probably never been like he was cheating on you
with jail, with other people in jail. Oh no, no, no,
(13:58):
don't start that woman. I didn't say that. I don't know. No,
it was okay, I had one day, that the girl
had one day, and that the girl had one day,
and another girl okay, because I know they do that.
Well yeah, another girl, Well they would they would try
to hold me up so that I could pass her
and but passing. But I had details, so detail was
smarter than they were. Were you ever scared of Sugar?
(14:22):
I feared n't. It was why would you marry him?
Be with him because it seems like the world for him. Well,
because at the time I didn't see all that. He
always saw his good I always saw his good side. Sugar,
was you don't need to do that. You're a good girl.
Stay here, stay fer, do this, do that. He didn't
drink and smoke at that time. Champagne was the most
I'd ever seen him. Do you feel fearful all of them? Aren't? Now?
(14:43):
You scared him? Now? Absolutely not, because he's in jail.
Well know, if I wasn't scared of don't even when
he got out, I talked to him now like he
talked to me. It took me many years to get
to that point. What are people? What are the things
that people don't know about sugar that they should know
because when they see showed, they see this big god
that's scary. He's almost like the big debo. They look
at sugars the devil and sometimes um, you know, and
(15:09):
but you know what, but there's a good side in
the best side to all of us. We all have
it in us. He just he's like an animal. The
best way to describe him is he he has animal
instead what I'm saying, who, No, he's no. Some poodles
do attack before they think, and then they come back
(15:30):
and licking wound. And that's how he is. Like he'll
attack you without and then he'll come back and you
know what, man, and then he'll explain that yeah, but
he doesn't know any other way to interact with you,
like if you bumped into him. He doesn't know how
to just go ahead, you know, he like grab your
shoulder and go, man, did you see what? You know?
You know he's already there as opposed to just go on, okay, man,
(15:52):
he already called there. But then he comes back down
and go yeah, man, you know you just can't be
doing that. And then he starts giving you all this
great this great words, you know, which is what he
should have done. But what's the craziest thing she has
done with you? Don't say nothing, no killing nobody. We
don't want nobody to go to jail. But the craziest
thing besides we didn't kill it allegedly manslaughter, murder that
(16:12):
he's done to me just around when you was around.
It's the craziest thing you've seen. Well, that's just did
I didn't get to see all that. It was always
rumor that I heard it, you know. Um. I think
the one of the craziest thing he did was when
he tried to hit me. He only tried one time,
and he's so he was so strong that he didn't.
(16:33):
He opened hand, slapped me and throw my whole jar
out of had to go onto emergency. He had had
to be hit you. Yes, he smacked yeah, backhand with
a backhand, and he was he's so strong. But it oh,
this just was over here and it wouldn't go back.
So I finally had to call him and say, you know,
you didn't have to come and take me to emergency. Well,
(16:56):
so he does that to you and then he has
to take you to the well. It was he the
data the police or awe. Yeah, so he he got
there quick, he was on time. That was you not
wanting to snitch on somebody. Boy, You just did this
to me. But I don't want to call the cops
on you, because she didn't want to call an ambulance
because then she's got to do a police I had
to do all that. Even when I got to the
(17:17):
hospital and they said what happened, I said, I get
hit by football. I do that you got hit by
a football. That you were playing football, but one of
your friends hit you in the face and then and
then but that's now she knew it wasn't true until
she write it. So once they dragged me to put
to the date she was talking. She says, I know
you didn't get hit by football because you can tell
(17:40):
me what it is. And it was funny because he
wouldn't leave the room. They kept telling him. He was
standing there like this and all I was like one
in an algora. M m m m. Do you watch Empire? Yeah?
Sometimes he said this season finale, the good thing they
didn't give, you know, an ambience. You didn't been telling
everything everything? Yeah, because once yeah, because I have told
(18:00):
your had I'm not there. Yeah, he wouldn't leave. He
wouldn't leave the rule. But I think Sugar's needed in La.
I think I think Sugars needed. I think he keeps
a lot of the suckers. And now because Sugars, he's
a debo, so he will. I think that every great
city needs a debo, meaning somebody that basically protects the land.
Like if you go to Detroit, it's trick trick. If
you go to La it's chilled. If you go to
(18:22):
the people that just make sure everything's good. Because a
lot of times, I know Sugar does a lot for
the community, like they talk about sometimes he gets back
to the kids. You see that side of him. But
the people, that's right. Yeah. I saw him saving houses
for the homeboys and mothers who wasn't called foreclosure. Cauld
him out for in the morningcle and I need this?
Can you help me out? Him getting out of his
bed and going to help people with their problems. He
(18:44):
had nothing to do with that. So I used to
think that I was in daring to take on other
people's problems. Although but now I learned later that you know,
if you do, if he do you one favorite, you
owe him five. Right, So that's it. Yeah? Let me
ask you, after you date Sugar and whatever, have your
fake marriage, how can you date anybody after that? Or
(19:05):
is it some or is it people are too scared
to date you? Of course, I think guys are scared
to take me. Oh, now, hold your daughter twelve? You can't.
What do you tell sars daughter? Go do your homework.
I tell my daddy. You're right, you'll tell your daddy.
I'm not mess. I didn't raise you like that. She's
not as like that. She's bailing man. But I'm sure
(19:26):
that it's you know, your relationship with him is different.
I'm sure now you can do whatever you want. I mean,
you've been went on a date, you know, on R
and B Divis and now you said you're not dating
anymore after I'm good. Yeah, yeah, he's a nice guy.
I'm do you still get money from all that? Your
son is older now so you don't get anything. Did
(19:48):
you get a lot of money from doctor Dre Did
he take care of his kids the right way? Or no?
I had you taken the court, but yeah, he finally did.
Did he see his son or was it just monetary?
When my mom and my gllamma died, he came into
my son's life. So that was cool and I'm grateful that.
I always say they have a good relationship, so yeah,
that's that's what's important, right. And you said you're not
(20:09):
gonna have another one of the kids on this show
because both of their dads don't want them, Well they didn't.
So what happening was Bailly is on one seeing at
Crissette's house because she wanted she begged and I had
full custodyether so we mean sugar arguing for months about it,
and m I just said, you know what, she loves Crissette.
She calls her Super Criz and we were wearing wings
(20:33):
and she loves you know it was fun, so I thought,
what harm could it be? And I really would want
to see what he would do if I defied him,
you know, and I did and I was like wow.
And he didn't call and say anything. So he seems
serious about his kids too. Oh he's very that's the
one thing I said. He stalks me to be a
(20:54):
part of her life. And Chrissette Michelle is no longer
on this show. And I know that was a really
good end of yours. But you guys didn't tech because
I know some of the other people said they haven't
spoken to her. Yeah, we're staying, dad, And are you
thinking about getting a life culture or anything like that?
About therapy is really good, So I'm kind of sticking
with therapy, you know, I mean a life culture. I
(21:16):
may graduate too, but right now I just got it,
you know, focus and you know, figure out, like life
to me is not about where you are. Sometimes you
have to go back and understand why you are the
where you are. And I never thought that was true.
But then when they connect the dads for you, you go,
I would have never saw that, you know, Why did
(21:39):
I date the same kind of man? And you know,
and you look for the same kind of and you know,
and you attract the same kind. It's not them, it's
you first of all. So they teach you just a lot,
and a lot of it comes from you being a
child in your household and what you see that you've
put into your subconscious. Now, people always talk about sug
Night being involved with the murder of Biggie or the
(22:00):
murder of Tupac. Now you around him during our times, right,
he was in prison. He was in prison. So do
you think that he could have possibly been involved with
any of that? My honest opinion is I think he
took the credit. Oh, I'm sorry, I just I don't.
I just think he took the credit. I mean it
just I don't. There was no signs to me, do
(22:23):
you know what I mean? I don't. I don't. My
wife's nowhere in there. Sheold. If she was, I would
I left a long time ago because I'm scared. You
can't be scared now, he's an old man. I'm totally
I'm not scared of him. I took the video of
Sugar allegedly running over dude. I am still scared. I
don't mess with him. Well, he allegedly banned well he was.
(22:45):
I seen that point he did run them. We don't
other reason behind the I don't know if he was
trying to flee or he was trying to flee. Yeah,
that guy was hitting him through the window, so he
was in there when she was trying to open the door.
He was keeping trying to push the door. So he
just say it okay and took it back to check up.
But you know, the rapture me is so pat that
(23:06):
you also but you also are working on a book. Yes,
let's talk about this book. What's in this book? My life?
It's about me, your life and everything, your relationships and
what you've conquered and all or everything. Do you feel
like the book is also part of your therapy? Just together,
absolutely things out from the beginning. So you're gonna start
the beginning of your life. I'm gonna be like and
(23:28):
being like Jesus. You know the first I t year,
You're gonna lose. Let it go, Just let it go.
Let's start from the good part. Yeah, you guys are
coming out to I do want to tell a story
about my mom and my dad so the people understand
why I'm so um, I'm not connected, you know, So
(23:49):
why I didn't see what may look wrong to other
people didn't affect me. Right, So your dad was abusive
towards your mom. No, they were never together. Oh, they
were never together. They're okay, Yes, I was born out
of sex like my daughter, right, yes, okay, so all right,
so they were never together. And then, um, so you
(24:10):
feel like you don't have a connection with them, Well
they weren't. They weren't parents that were affectionate. And um,
they weren't. They weren't. They didn't tell me they loved me.
They haven't. They don't say it right. What about your
your voice? They had to joke you a lot in school,
did they? No? I was quiet, really, I was a
good student. Show I didn't have to worry, not at all. Yeah.
(24:34):
I stayed in my lane. And you were business wise?
Would you say you were pretty good business wise? Because
I know they always say, you know, with you and
when you were with Sugar, you did a lot of
stuff behind the scenes for the company. I tried, and
then he would destroy it. So like what kind of
things were you doing? Um? Well, one thing I can
(24:56):
say I told him to do. I said, why don't
you just shed that froll down and grass and great
and Grace landed, you know, like Elvis's stayed and just
make it so hard to get that it would be
worth the memorabilia would be worth so much. Right, he
didn't do it. I was like please. Then he came
to me many years later and said, you're right. No,
(25:16):
if he had it was the catalog alone, Yeah, just
a catalog nothing. I mean, the memorabilia alone would have
been still fortune. So he would listen to me. So
I said, you know, let me leave this alone, because
you're gonna come out broke. That must have been me
and my miss Cleota. What made you finally decide to
(25:37):
leave him? After holding it down? Okay, he was locked
up for six and a half years, having a child together,
you know, thinking you were married, watching all these women
coming and out. Why did you finally say, okay, I'm done.
Real short story had a mistress, but he told me
a different story about her, and I had seen her
work back when we were friends, so I believe that
she was just his homeboy's friend, you know, girlfriend, right,
(26:01):
and he was just taking care of her and her
son because he was he had got life in prison.
It says the code of the guys like I'm gonna
take care. Yeah, and I thought that was endearing to me.
I thought, that is so sweet. That's hope. Damn I
was that is so sweet. And kind of find out
when and about I'll say, oh, wound ninety six, pout
(26:22):
ninety five, when put ninety five going in nine ninety six,
I found out she was the main mistress for many, many,
many years. And then once she got pregnant a year
or two, a year and a half after I had
my daughter, I said, that's it. I can't oh, that
was it because I felt like a complete fool. That's
(26:43):
when it really and you probably welcome this woman into no,
but I mean, look what I did. I gave up everything.
I lost friends, I lost you know, and here you
know you just I just thought I was so your
friends were telling you leave this man alone, you gotta
get away, and had Well yeah, well I had no friends.
I couldn't have any male friends. He didn't like my
girlfriend of all all the years, so I was reclusive
(27:05):
and I was the princess in the castle. Wow. Well,
