Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm telling you, this is so weird. When the whole
Imaginary Players thing happened, so many people was having different discords.
So many people were saying like, if she don't do this,
her career is over. She dos not have nothing together.
It really broke me down. It broke me down, and
I got on the phone with my team and I
(00:21):
was like, we have to push harder, fill up the schedule.
I want to do this, this and that. And it's
so funny because like the court case thing, that shit
was not planned. I actually kept trying to canceling, kept canceling, canceling,
and it turned in my favor and it got me
so many national news things. And I was just going
to court and that was something that was unplanned that
(00:43):
came out of nowhere. And that's only God. That's only
God that could do that. That's only God that could
change a tie like that.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
This episode of RL podcast is powered by boost Mobile.
I was talking about her all last week on the
Edge Martinez IRL episode, where I was saying, because there's
a card here that talks about you know, Bronx born,
Grammy winning, global superstar, mother of four business women, all
of that, But last week I was talking about energy, right,
(01:19):
We were having this discussion about energy, and I was
saying how the way Cardi B puts energy into everything
that she does, no matter who says what, no matter
what type of rap wars, relationship issues, publicly, like, no
matter what is going, when you show up, your energy,
you come with it every time, including this time, which
(01:40):
I feel like you must be working your fucking ass off.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I am working my ass off, Yes, I am, like
I feel the tiredness in my body.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You do, and you're doing it pregnant. Congratulations. By the way,
it's not a small thing.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's not a small thing.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's a big thing. And especially I'm talking about that.
I was like, Yo, just watching you through the court
thing and then you jumped into being on the street
selling bout legs, and I just feel like there's so
much energy that it requires to be you and to
deliver at the level that you do. So when you're pregnant,
does that make it harder or does that fuel you more?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It is it's both because like of course, like by
the end of the day, when I wake up in
the morning, I feel that I feel it right on
my back and I feel it on my feet. And
I feel it on my legs. But it also makes
me feel like I'm not even trying to sound cliche,
but it really makes me feel mad powerful, Like it's like, oh,
(02:40):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I love that about to do everything, and then you
announce a tour. Yeah, in the middle of this, Yeah,
headlining a tour. So I'm gonna have a baby. Yep,
I'm gonna have a new baby. I'm gonna have my
other babies already. Yeah, I'm gonna have a full career. Yeah,
and I'm gonna go on tour.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And you have no fear concerned about any of that time, energy, nothing,
You just give me do.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It because you know what, I feel like, I'm a
little season now, like this my fourth kid.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, that's crazy. Is great. You're like a mom, Mom.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I'm a mom, so it's like it was like my
fourth kid. When it was really hard for me was
when I was in in Europe doing the music video
for Imaginary Players. I was just really running on like
two hours of sleep. Oh no, because I was doing
music video. I had to do things. I had to
do the music video in Greece and then I had
to make it on time to Paris to do fashion
(03:37):
shows and continue to film the music video. So that
was really hard, like running, running on one hour of sleep.
It was hard the way, but we had to get
it done, and I have to get it done because
it's like, I don't ever want like my team or
like people around me to be like, oh, she can't
do it because she's knocked up, Like I don't. I
don't want that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
People always assume that when you have a kid that's
going to stop some type of motion that you have
going on.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They kind of know that I that I won't, but
I want to show them like because that you see,
like it's even if I'm knocked up, I ain't gonna stop.
And then what else?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Was hard?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
When I was going to court because I was getting
up six am to do my hair, do my makeup,
and after court, I had to do everything for the album, magazines, interviews,
so many different things. And now we'll go to bed
at two am to wake up to go to court
and you cannot miss court that you just can't miss it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So what is that That must have been scary going
into that phase into that. I would imagine anytime you
go into like any type of legal anything, it's scary
because you don't know even if you know you're in
the right, Like, yeah, doesn't mean that the court system
is going to do you right or that the jury
will do you right. So I imagine that's scary going
into that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That one wasn't my scariest one. This is like my
third lawsuit, so I was a little bit more prepared.
But like everybody's like, how do you do it? Like
how you always win and everything. It's like, use got
to tell the truth and you have to make sure
that the lawyers are not tricking you off the question.
So you tell the truth, Like, but should be here
in there, like you're not scared of nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Is that what's really happening inside what you're presenting, because
it feels from the outside, I'm like, yo, she really
just chews them up and spits them out. That's how
it felt.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But I feel like I'm not wrong. If I feel
like I'm not wrong and my lawyer is telling me
that I'm not wrong, I know I'm not wrong, and
I just have to tell the truth, Like I have
to tell the truth, and you have to have your evidence,
like I know I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I love that about you I think everybody loves that
about you. I think you telling the truth has been
how people fell in love with you in the first place.
Right when you do a reality you do an instagram
you being yourself and being so free, and then the
show and I think it's really amazing to watch that
you haven't lost that even with all the opinions, even
with all the outside noise and everything. How do you
(05:56):
do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I feel like I have changed a lot though yeah,
hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
But you're not afraid until the truth. Still, I feel
like that, at least from the outside of things like that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
There's a lot that I'd be wanting to say. But okay,
so maybe I took it. I could maybe I know,
I could go from one hundred, but I maybe keep
it at sixty because I don't want people to think
that I'm crazy or something. But it's like, like I
really could argue with somebody and prove them wrong every
single day, every single day, all day, like even like
(06:31):
today with the whole like pregnancy announcement. Like there's a
lot of things that it's like, bitch, I will drag
you each you spitch you out, like but it's like,
you know, what I'm not. You gonna do it, honey,
I can't. But I feel like I have torn down
a lot with every aspect, with everything that I that
I handle.
Speaker 2 (06:48):

lost yourself to you in.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That Sometimes I feel like I have lost myself, Like
who the fuck am I really, Yes, that surprises me
so much. Yes, a lot of one of the reasons
why I feel like I haven't put out music or
like I stopped myself from a lot of things, people
will think that it's because of like come my kids,
because I had like three kids, or because I was pregnant.
(08:03):
A lot of things that stopped me was the way
that people have like criticized me and tore me into pieces.
So the point that it's like I have to protect
my I have to protect my mental health, like I
have to like I need a break, and then like
those breaks will be like I'm taking two months off
and next thing you know, it's seven months that you
haven't put out music and you're not even realizing that
(08:25):
time is passing, because that'd be it'd be hard and
you just you just lose yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'm glad you take that time though, for yourself when
you need it, and.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
May be with little things. It'd be with like music,
it'd be with like body and stuff like that. It
just be with everything, and it's like this is not myself.
Like I I went to an industry when I was
eighteen years old where everybody had fake boobs and nice
expense weave, and I went to the to that industry
(09:04):
like I don't give a fuck. I'm the baddest bitch
in here. No titties, no ass, no nothing. Then I
went to another type of club where everybody had titties
and asks, and I was still like, I don't give
a fuck, I'm the baddest bitch in this bitch. So
I've always been a very confident person. So for people
like to criticize everything from the way I look from
(09:25):
up and down for my body or whatever thing, and
people then putting a type of personality on you, Like
people would tell me, like you do your you get
your body done because you're insecure about yourself, and it's
like you're you're you're projecting something that I'm not. I'm
not insecure about myself. I just do what I want.
I just do what I want. I like. I like
a doll. Look like That's why I like. I like
(09:47):
a doll. Look do I have to do it? Do?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Do?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Am I gonna die without it?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
But I like it?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No, I get that. But I think a lot of
artists we probably lose out on seeing a lot of
great artists and artists work because I think it scares people.
I think the public either way it is right now
really scares people. But I wonder for you because this
is like in real life we talk about like the
inside of who people are and stuff, and I think
that is all outside shit, and you manage it really well.
I know you say you think it's changed you, but
(10:12):
the fact that we still see the same from the outside.
People who watched your career still see that same kind
of like confidence and drive and just honesty, Like that's
what people fell in love with in the beginning, and
it's still there. Like you said, you might have toned
it down a little, but it's still there. The fact
that you've been able to manage that is amazing. But
how does it affect your real life, like your everyday
(10:33):
life when you're home and your mommy mode and you
with your sister and your friends.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I have learned. I have learned to like try my
best not to let what people are saying and like
a hate train warn what I got going on in
my real life.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What's the trick to that? Because it's not just you.
People deal with that at work, people deal with that
with that everywhere. What's the trick to like blocking out noise.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
The trick is like, don't make that mistake again. Like
I feel like I have lost so many good times,
and I feel like, of course, I'm not gonna blame
certain failures on me. Okay, I'm not gonna blame certain
failures on me, but like you know, like even like
being a relationship, sometimes somebody could like plan a date
(11:30):
and you'll be like you and you're planning a date
and you're getting fine, and you're getting doing everything. I
don't know where you're happy, and then like you're mad
or you're angry because somebody says something nasty about you
or because somebody is fucking with you, and now you're
mad and you want to be the bitch ass and
it's like you're forgetting about the date. So I'm not
(11:54):
like going forward, I'm not gonna let people mess me
up with that. It's crazy because that makes sense. Like
I remember this one time I got into an argument
with this big blog, like huge blog on my child birthday,
on Coach's birthday, and they made me feel so little
about myself, so little by myself.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Because of the argument or because because.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Of the argument, the little slick thing that they said,
like they practically made me feel like I needed them,
And I hate when people feel like I need them
for anything. That's one thing. I never feel like I
need nobody for nothing, even when I was young, Like dear,
I'll sleep on a fucking train up and down if
(12:37):
I gotta take it, because I don't. I'm very prideful.
This person child made me feel so bad about myself.
And I'm arguing back and forth with them on my
kid's birthday. And when I sit back and it's like,
I can't believe I let this bitch ruin my kids
my day and it was my kid's day. So certain
things you got to tell yourself, Like it's like you
(12:58):
can't let certain ship online, certain things ruined. How I
love that, Like yeah, like you're gonna continue your day,
especially now that I have like I have new people
in my life. I have a new person in my life.
I have kids, I have more, I'm having more kids.
Like it's like I can't let what they say and
(13:18):
what certain moments when people say what I feel, because
like even with imagining players, I remember when I I
remember when I heard that jay Z approved the record.
I was mad fucking happy. I was gagged. I was
Gaggy think you would. It's not It's not that I
(13:40):
think he would. It was just like, oh my god,
he got to approve the record. It's jay z imagine
like nah.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, but it really messed up to me, Like it
just everything to me, and it is that I cannot
forget how I feel that day because people that that
probably hate me, or people that just are not a fan,
(14:16):
not a fan, are saying about me, or even today,
like even even today right, me and my man were
very happy that we're having a baby, like we're happy,
We're I love that we we here like it's like whatever,
we just it is what it is. We here, like
I'm not gonna let people make me feel like take
that away from me because whatever they feel, it's my life.
(14:39):
I'm grown and you're happy and I'm happy, like I'm not.
I'm not sad about it. I'm not worried about it.
I'm here. Like it's like people know how you feel.
I'm like, I'm here, I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
I'm here how I supposed to feel.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It's always interesting though, because when you're like coming out,
I don't know, after like some heartbreak and you've been
open about that you've been through some stuff. I mean,
everybody knows you've been through stuff. Sometimes it's scary putting
yourself out there again. Sometimes the next relationship or anything
is scary for women. But maybe that's not how you feel.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I don't, no, no, no, I was really scared. Really took
me a minute. I mean I felt for the boards
like a year ago, and I was like practically single,
not practically single, but like the marriage been dead, it
been dead. So to open up myself to somebody else
(15:36):
it was very scary. But being sheltered, it hurts too
be sheltered, and I just don't want to deal with nobody.
It feels lonely too, because I did it all while
I was like, all right, I'm completely single. I gave
birth to my daughter. I was working one thing through Thursday.
(16:00):
Then I was going out the whole entire weekend with
my friends. I was getting drunk, I was in the street,
was outside, I was outside, I was eating dinner. I
was bad bitching. I was shopping. Had I started getting
like a shopping addiction. I don't know what it was like.
I was like learning myself, but there was days that
(16:23):
that liquor hit and you in the club. I don't
know if y'all regret this feeling, but like it could
be three thirty and you're like, I'm about to go
home in a little bit, and I don't know, it
hits you, that hennessy hits you like it's like, damn,
I got nobody to talk to I got I'm drunk,
and I got nobody to give this web hot, Like
(16:46):
I got nobody to make me feel good. So it's
like it's kind of both. It's kind of like still
it would be torture. It's like you're torturing yourself. So
it's like, you know what, let me just take that
instead of being scared, instead of being scared, Yeah, because
being scared and it's like no, I'm just I'm just
(17:06):
gonna avoid it because I might fall in love. And
if I fall in love and this don't work out,
but then you're going home and you and you lonely
and you sad, and you ain't got nothing to talk,
you don't got no where to talk to. It's like
it's funny, like Adele says it, like on My Little
Love at the end, she has like a whole monologue
and she just said like it's like, damn, today, I
feel really lonely and it's a it's a it's a
(17:28):
scary feeling, like am I gonna be lonely forever? Am
I gonna be able to love again? Like?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
So when you find it?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So when you find it, it's like you find it,
I'll take it. I'll take it, I take it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, what do you feel? Because it feels like you're fearless,
Like I feel like you've really managed your career in
a fearless manner, Like what does scare you?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I fear losing everything. I feel losing every day after Yeah,
hell yeah, I feel I think I don't know. I
think libras were scared to like rethink of it. Everything
we plan ahead. I'm already thinking ten years from now.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
What's there? What is that? What's over there in ten years?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But what does it look like? What is it? Are you?
What are you doing? Do me a future? Do me
like Crystal?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Ten years from now? I have to make sure that
like Plan A, this is my plan A. Plan B
gotta be moving like it's like what am I going
to do to maintain an income? Like I have a
certain lifestyle. I want to be able to spend the
money that I spend now ten years from now. How
am I going to do that? How am I going
to do that? So I'm always thinking ahead, So I'm
(18:38):
always afraid of that. I'm very cautious with like everything
that I'm conscious with everything.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Maybe maybe. But I feel like as born ups, we
all have like different type of like it's always something.
But so that's why one is not nothing. It's like,
oh it's great, peaceful.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I got a little irl bowl. We should do irl bowl? Yes, yeah, Okay,
these are all in real life questions, questions about Carti
B's real life. Let's see what you got.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
What is the habit you're proud of? What is the
habit you're trying to break? Okay, So one of the
habits that I'm kind of like proud of, I feel
like I'm waking up. I'm becoming more of a daytime person.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I'm not a the Oh I'm so surprised, Like what
is that?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Though, Like I'm waking up well, every day, I wake
up like around seven am because I know my man
gonna text me at seven am. I'll be like hey,
hey hei. But then I be up at ten. I'll
usually go to sleep black at six am, and I'll
be up by twelve pm, like when I be up.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Early because man, because you wait for that test and
but that.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But it's like sometimes you wake up and you're just
in bed and you just like, oh shit, I've been
in TikTok for an hour. But now I'd be like,
oh shit, I've been in TikTok for thirty minutes. But
I answered to calls, so something was accomplished, getting the
work done. Not procrastinating. Was that I'm trying to break
(22:25):
I'm trying to stop eating this ice, honey.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Why it's not bad. It's water, yeah, but I don't
like the feeling when I don't have it and you're
like addicted to ice.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yes, it's been like that for like a minute. Then
I stopped it. Then it came back. I don't know.
Maybe because I stopped, why don't you stop? I stopped
smoking cigarettes and stuff. I haven't been looking drinking and stuff.
So maybe I'm just like it's not. I had it
like in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, then I stopped. Then
(22:56):
I picked it up again with blossom. Then it just
never left the way and now it's just becoming worse.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You should ask somebody about that. It's gotta be a reason,
Like it's just a habit. I don't think it's an
addiction because it's not. It's just water.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's just I get cranky when I don't have.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's like what, okay, a couple of things. Yeah, because
we're talking in real life, right, what what has being
a mom changed about you? Or what did you learn
or what was a big surprise?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Well, like, of course I'm on my forfeit.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm saying I didn't now.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, but when you have your first kid, even when
like you know the people like when the kids, when
the baby sleep, you go to sleep too, And it's
like no, because you're even afraid to go to sleep
because what happened if something happened to them when they're sleeping,
Like my baby used to throw up, used to throw
up while she sleep. So those were the type of
things like becoming a new mom, it's a little bit
(23:50):
difficult that people think. I've been telling people like as
I just remember, it's the six months that are tough,
the first six yes, And it's just little things that
you just worry about, like like it's like what type
of man you're gonna be? What type of woman are
you gonna be? It just be the the little fears,
Like it's like I have to protect these these these
(24:13):
are I have to protect them. They're so innocent. But
then it's like I can't even protect you that much
because you one day you gotta be a man. One
day you one day you're gonna have a social media,
like for my daughter, Like one day you're gonna have
a social media. One thing, you're gonna read things about you,
and I hope that will affect you in no way.
So it's like I've been trying to protect but it's just.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You can do so much.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You can only do with so much, and they're always
on your Your kids never leave your mind. You don't
notice that no matter where you at, what you're doing,
they just don't leave your mind ever, not for a second.
They don't leave your mind, Like you just think about
them all day, probably in the club or your drug
as a cultures. So and it's are being a mother's
(25:01):
hard that you have money or you don't.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
People think because you have money, that's probably easier.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
It is easier, but it's kind of like not, it's
still hard. Just having that responsibility is hard.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, And it's a NonStop job.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And it's a non stop jobs, NonStop, and you're about
to have another one. Yep, it's okay. Is that it's okay.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
You're about to do party training again? Oh my god,
breast for your breastfeeder, no breastfeed What else is at
the at the beginning, just all of it? Sleeping not
sleeping through the night.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The night, I'm telling you, it's really the worst thing
is like going outside with them, Oh my gosh, danks
giving Christmas? Oh, going to your grandma's house. I don't
want to go. I don't want to go because it's
just it's just getting three ready to outside. Oh that's tough,
(25:57):
like because it's like, Okay, you're bathing one, cleaning one,
but then you gotta stop because you gotta feed the baby.
Then after you feed the baby, you gotta take it
back to the other one. Not the other one is
talking about mommy I'm hungry.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
They assume you have help with this type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I do have help, But there's days that it's like
people need days off, you know what I'm saying. People
need They all like they have life too. They want
to enjoy them so and it's like, bitch, this is
your this is your ship. One thing about kids, they're
your kids. Yeah, they're yours, especially like in the holidays
and everybody's going home, they're yours. You gotta wash and clean,
(26:33):
they butt and all that, all three of them. Certain
things that is like your kids want you there. They
want you. They don't want no grandma. They don't want
no grandpa. Theyn't want no nanny, they don't want know nothing.
They want you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And it's it's a good feeling.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It's a good feeling. It's a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It's a good feeling. That's a good feeling when they
want you. I can't believe you about that afford. Okay,
So what about love? Where are you with love? Like,
what are your belief systems about love? Has it changed you?
Are you still? Like I feel like you're a little
mushi because you're talking about your little morning calls and
stuff like that. But do you I don't know. Do
you have any thoughts about it? Do you believe in it?
Do you need it still so much in your life?
(27:13):
Some women say like, you know, I'll be good either way,
someone like I need a partner.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I believe in it. But I do understand why you
got that, aren't that. It's like you're like, you're like
in your fifties and you're like and smart and dog
and you're pretty and you're you're sixty and you're good,
Like why don't you why don't you have a man?
Why I've never seen you with a man. And it's
(27:39):
like now I know why. Now I know why that
would It would drive you crazy. The beginning stages, the
mind game, the checks because everybody got different checks. You
know what I'm saying, Like some women be like, Okay,
(28:02):
I need a man to do this. I need a
man just that I need a man to have a job,
and I need a man to be at home at
a certain time, and I need a man that calls
me this amount of time, and like everybody have different checklists, checklists,
So I really understand, like that mind game, it's really
a mind game. Thing. That mind game is like some
(28:25):
women I can see why they were like, I can't
deal with this mind game shit. I cannot deal with it.
Or some men will traumatize a woman so much that
they'll be like, I just don't ever want to do
it again. And I'm fine with that. And if you
ever see a woman that she don't got a man,
don't ever don't be judging her, Like it's like, why
you don't have a man? Is it because you can
(28:45):
keep a man? Is it because this isn't that? No,
some women just don't really want to deal with these niggas.
I don't understand. She just want to protect her peace.
Like I love love, and I believe in love, and
I believe in marriage, and I believe in family, and
I believe in union. But I also do understand why
other women like it's just like I'm not doing this
shit again. I understand it, and that's why I will
(29:08):
not even judge them, Like, don't judge me neither, though,
but I won't judge you neither, because I really I
understand why when you want to do it, I feel
like some women just be like, you know what, I'd
rather be alone. I don't get a fuck about it.
I don't I could.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Because the knockdown for a lot of women is really hard. Yes,
when you're get knocked down that ship, some people don't
want to get back up.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, they don't want to get back up again. And
it's like if you ever see your aunt and were like,
why my aunt don't have a nigga, or like it's
my grandma grandmother, Well my grandma passed, but I always
be like, I want my grandma to have a boyfriend.
I used to do I used to brush your hair,
and it feel like, so you could have a boyfriend.
(29:52):
And it's like, no, no, my grandma never had a man.
Like they don't want to deal with that. Nobody want
to deal with that.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
What will you teach your sons about that, about how
to treat a woman, or what will you teach your
sons about relationships? Because it's one thing your daughter. You
tell your daughter to watch out for this, to watch out. Yes,
but raising boys is different, Like what do you what
will you teach your boys about being a good man
in that way? Do you know what you're having yet?
By the way, you don't know? Oh you do? No, okay,
(30:23):
I did know, but exaving that for another day, Well,
I won't I know.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
The hard things that I want to tell him that.
One thing is like, let me tell you some boy,
if a bitch slightly say no, is no, you ain't
gonna bring no problems in my house. You're gonna bring
no little bitch said that, they're no funny ship. Second,
you don't own a bitch body.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Hm.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
So if you get a bitch knocked up and she
say no, it's no. And it's like, don't think that
I'm gonna be helping you because I ain't. You better
get a job. You weren't bringing overage to live in
my house?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Are you having these not having these conversations anytime soon? Right?
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You got to prepare yourself.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, just clarity, just for clarity, guys, got it, a libra,
I got it. You're thinking of the future of the future.
I understand. I just wanted to clarify that that that
case anybody.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
So those are but like those are the things that
is like all right first and foremost.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yes, but also like you know, hav integrity for me.
And when I'm thinking about the things, it's like say
what you mean what you say? You know you don't
if you ain't ready, that's okay. You ain't ready.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
If you ain't ready, you gotta let a girl a
girl know, like baby, this ain that because if you
play with a girl's heart. To some guys, playing with
a girl's heart is like so it's not a big deal,
but it's it's the karma that comes to you. So
if you're having a bad day at your job and
having a bad day, like it's like, damn, my luck
(32:02):
has been bad, it's because you probably put a girl
through some tears. So don't play mind games because karma.
Some men that they don't think that, they don't think
they get bad karma. When you hurt somebody's heart.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Oh that's good. People should hear that. You may just
say it again, yes, like you know. Charlottagne says that
he says because he cheated on his wife and he
was a cheater for a long time.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
That he stopped.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
He knows the date that the last time, and he
changed his life, and he said his life has changed
so much more positive. He's has so many more blessings
since he became a good husband. Yes, the second that
you become a good person to your wife, your life flourishes.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yes, because it's like you're hurting somebody, And I don't
think people understand how bad is that pain when you
hurt somebody that loves you, And it might not be
your wife. It just might be a girl that you
probably was playing mind games with and you made them
feel like you love them, and it's like you rip
that love from them, and it's like God would make
(33:03):
you pay for that. So don't bring that back karma
into you. Boy. And I'm gonna mind my business. But
if you bring a girl to my house and that's
your girlfriend, and you bring another bridge, I'm a grill
her and be like I ain't gonna be messy because
they're in my place. But I'm a girl her, Like
wein my son girlfriend. I don't know what's gonnap. Oh
(33:35):
my god, I was. I wasn't even raised with boys.
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And you're trying to figure it out and you're like,
I mean, you're not really a single mom because you
have a family and even help and yeah whatever, but
like it's still your kids.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
It's your kids, your kids, no matter what, even if
the dad was around, it's like it's still your It's fine.
I think I.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Think those mothers, whether they married, divorce whatever. Most mothers
feel like those are actually my kids.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yes, it's like, okay, I'm glad you're here, but these
are my kids.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah for sure. What about your girls.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm really scared of the girls. Why because we're so sensitive.
Everything hurts our feelings. Especially my oldest daughter. She's very
she's seven, and she she has such a good heart.
So it's like, oh, I'm scared to go through that.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Do what will you teach her about? I don't know.
Making the right choices and partners and friendships. That was
that was always the thing for me. It's like make
sure you the wrong friends can ruin your life. Yep,
the wrong partner.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
You got to scare them there it is.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You're gonna do really good at that. I don't know
why I think you're gonna do a good job.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
You got to scare them. I mean, my my mom
used to scare the ship out of me. Did she
tell you she to like say like she used to
tell me, Like it's like if you, if if you
or Hannessy get pregnant, you will have to get out
of my house. It's not like, oh I'll help you
this and that. You have to get out of my house.
(35:14):
There cannot be two women in this house. And that
used to be like that. That used to be like
in my head, like when I was fourteen fifteen, like
it's like, oh my gosh, imagine having to live so
young with a guy with no job and I got
no job and I got it. She will scare me.
They kept you straight, It kept me straight, like and
she used to be like, if you go out and
(35:35):
you don't come home, there's a night that you don't
come home, you will have to get the fuck out
of my house. So I will never even like, oh,
come home. And it's a certain she will scare the
shit out of me. She didn't even have to beat me.
I just the certain things that it's like, I don't
want that life. I don't want that life problem. I
don't want those problems. I don't want to be a
(35:56):
teenage viobe. I don't want to do that. No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
So you're gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, I'm scared her, Like it's like scale the ship
out of them. Don't don't try to relate.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Are you Are you the soft or you're a disciplinarian?
Do you think I'm both?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I'm both because certain things my kids are not scared
of me.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's a joke.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Whatever they think it's so funny, it's not funny. But okay,
But I certain things I feel like my mom is
more strict than me, and certain things like my like
my mom put a timer on my kid's iPad, so
I eight o'clock. My daughter be crying to me, like please, mommy, please,
she cried to me, and I'd be like, okay, you
(36:40):
can use my phone. But certain things that my mom
would do that I'd be like, stop. Like every day
my kids have to go to tutoring. They gotta take
the piano classes. They gotta take the classes. And my
mom be like, you're you're crazy. They're gonna get tired. Stop,
it's for the best of them. Go to your class
before you piss me off. It's only one hour.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
But they're sleepy. They've been up since six Stop. Stop.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
That's good. So you got the best of both worlds.
You get the best of both worlds with that, all right?
I got in real life questions. I know, Brittany, we
gotta wrap so.

real life questions. In real life? What are you most
proud about of yourself?
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Everything? Really, every I'm really proud of myself. These past
two months, I've been working my ass.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
We all can see it.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Yes, Like even even the other day, I almost I
almost cried because it's like, yo, I'm I'm really in it.
There's no stone that has been left unturned. I have
done everything I have put in my fucking all tire,
sleepy feed, hurt, the train, station and everything, video, everything
(39:55):

proud of myself. I told myself that I got to
push myself. My my. I don't keep saying my guy
got my man, my man, but it's like exact, he do.
(40:17):
He's very he really motivates me, and he's just be like,
you gotta do antil you uncomfortable. You if you're comfortable,
you're not doing enough. And it's like I'm uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
There's something about athletes though, it's like an athlete mentality,
Like yeah, it's like a certain discipline they have and
a certain type of drive. Yes, that probably works good
for you. It's working for me.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, it's working for me because I'll probably be like,
oh my gosh, I can't do any one day break.
I have not taken out no breaks, no breaks. This
nigga ain't took no fucking break. Yeah. I ain't gonna
take what I'm strong.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
To your competitives too. Yeah, I'm not gonna be the one.
You do need breaks though, come on, you can't. I
mean at some.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Point after this week.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Okay, after after this week in real life? What do
you pray for most?
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I pray every day. I pray every second. I pray
ever eleven eleven two to two, three two three four
for four, I pray. I will even close my eyes
about prayer. I pray for everything for everybody, like all day,
every day, all day every day.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
What are your conversations like with him? Casual, like like
a friend, Like.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
I don't even feel like a prayer. It just feels
like I'm just talking. I don't know who I'm talking to,
but I'm talking like I'm talking. And I curse too
when I pray. He knows, Yeah, because he knows me.
Yea God, you know, God knows me. God maybe he mad,
he knows.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
I always say he knows my heart.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
He knows my heart. But God knows me. But I
talk every day.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, I've been in a bag lately, like I don't know.
They have been saying some prayers and then it really.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Happened like it happened.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
No, it's prayers like really crazy, like you ask for
something real specific like regularly and you get an answer quick.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
I'm telling you this is so weird. When the whole
Imaginary Players thing happened. So many people was having different discords,
so many people were saying, like, if her career, if
she don't do this, her career is over. She doesn't
have nothing together. It really broke me down. It broke
(42:17):
me down, and I got on the phone with my
team and I was like, we have to push harder,
fill up the schedule. I want to do this, this
and that. And it's so funny because like the court
case thing, that shit was not planned. I actually kept
trying to cancel, it kept canceling canceling, and it turned
in my favor and it got me so many national
(42:37):
news things. And I was just going to court and
that was something that was unplanned that came out of nowhere.
And that's only God. That's only God that could do that.
That's only God that could change a tie like that.
And he's just so real because I was like, God
helped me, Like I'm losing it again. I haven't felt
(42:57):
like this in a long time. I haven't felt insecure
about music in a long time. And he changed that
again and again, and it was only him. It was
only him. That was nothing that I could have came
up with that was nothing that my team could have
came up with. That was just literally God a blessing.
And I was getting dragged because I was arguing with somebody,
so everybody made me a bad person there. Everybodys saying
(43:19):
that was fat foot because she's like fat pho. But
I'm gonna fucking you fucking fat shit the fuck. It
was just a lot going on and I just felt
so bad. I feel like, I feel like, damn, I
remember when everybody s would hate me like this, and
I'm getting back that hatred again. And God turned that around.
He's so real, yo, He's so real right, and he
have such a so I be saying like, ooh, I
(43:44):
love that.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Man. When you get those signs like that, when you
get a moment where the tides change where you're like
feeling beat up and down, and then something happens and
you feel like renewed again, Like does it make you
feel like you're in your purpose? Like this is what
you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
It makes me feel like I'm in my purpose and
it makes me feel like brag about him, But don't
be on some ad high, you see, I always get
it because every soon time that you do that got
snatch it. I'm telling you things tie changes all the time.
You got to see when it's your purpose. You got
(44:20):
to see when he's giving you another chance. So God
wants to see. Sometimes it's like, how are you gonna
act when I give you this chance? Because I'll take
it from you if you keep fucking playing, or if
you're thinking that you're above it, or you're thinking that
you could pick on somebody or bully somebody, because you
you are at a certain level. So it's like, you'll
(44:40):
check you, you'll check you, and you know when he's checking.
You know when God is checking you, because God be
like I.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
Because you know when you when you're doing something that
ain't supposed to be doing. Yep, you know already. Yep,
it's so true. I know we have to wrap my
last question. I always ask everybody if God were to
text you right now, he's going to send you a text,
what would it say right now?
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Better? Shut up? You're doing good right now, don't fuck up,
don't fuck up, you're doing good right now. Don't curse
nobody out. You got no reason to curse nobody out.
And when this whole run is over and I'm not
pregnant no more, you got you gotta give something to
(45:22):
your team. I've been giving my team hell.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Oh no, that's what God would text you take kill
your team, yeah, because I've been giving them hell.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
But it's not my phone. I'm pregnant. I know I'm
being insufferable right now.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
It's all right. You're working hard too, so they got
to give you a break, give you a little grace. Congratulations, baby.
What do you hope people take away from this whole
run of yours and this whole moment in your life?
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Did y'all wreaking my fucking yeah? Yah. Let me tell
you something. I'm working hard, but I want this shit.
I want this shit and the only way to fucking
get it is by working for it. Shit is not
gonna fool your motherfucking laugh. It's just not. It's not
gonna fall while you in bed, work and it's happening.

Grammy winning, global superstar, mother of four business women, all
of that, But last week I was talking about energy, right,
(01:19):
We were having this discussion about energy, and I was
saying how the way Cardi B puts energy into everything
that she does, no matter who says what, no matter
what type of rap wars, relationship issues, publicly, like, no
matter what is going, when you show up, your energy,
you come with it every time, including this time, which
(01:40):
I feel like you must be working your fucking ass off.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I am working my ass off, Yes, I am, like
I feel the tiredness in my body.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You do, and you're doing it pregnant. Congratulations. By the way,
it's not a small thing.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's not a small thing.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
It's a big thing. And especially I'm talking about that.
I was like, Yo, just watching you through the court
thing and then you jumped into being on the street
selling bout legs, and I just feel like there's so
much energy that it requires to be you and to
deliver at the level that you do. So when you're pregnant,
does that make it harder or does that fuel you more?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It is it's both because like of course, like by
the end of the day, when I wake up in
the morning, I feel that I feel it right on
my back and I feel it on my feet. And
I feel it on my legs. But it also makes
me feel like I'm not even trying to sound cliche,
but it really makes me feel mad powerful, Like it's like, oh,
(02:40):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I love that about to do everything, and then you
announce a tour. Yeah, in the middle of this, Yeah,
headlining a tour. So I'm gonna have a baby. Yep,
I'm gonna have a new baby. I'm gonna have my
other babies already. Yeah, I'm gonna have a full career. Yeah,
and I'm gonna go on tour.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
And you have no fear concerned about any of that time, energy, nothing,
You just give me do.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It because you know what, I feel like, I'm a
little season now, like this my fourth kid.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah, that's crazy. Is great. You're like a mom, Mom.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I'm a mom, so it's like it was like my
fourth kid. When it was really hard for me was
when I was in in Europe doing the music video
for Imaginary Players. I was just really running on like
two hours of sleep. Oh no, because I was doing
music video. I had to do things. I had to
do the music video in Greece and then I had
to make it on time to Paris to do fashion
(03:37):
shows and continue to film the music video. So that
was really hard, like running, running on one hour of sleep.
It was hard the way, but we had to get
it done, and I have to get it done because
it's like, I don't ever want like my team or
like people around me to be like, oh, she can't
do it because she's knocked up, Like I don't. I
don't want that.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
People always assume that when you have a kid that's
going to stop some type of motion that you have
going on.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
They kind of know that I that I won't, but
I want to show them like because that you see,
like it's even if I'm knocked up, I ain't gonna stop.
And then what else?
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Was hard?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
When I was going to court because I was getting
up six am to do my hair, do my makeup,
and after court, I had to do everything for the album, magazines, interviews,
so many different things. And now we'll go to bed
at two am to wake up to go to court
and you cannot miss court that you just can't miss it.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So what is that That must have been scary going
into that phase into that. I would imagine anytime you
go into like any type of legal anything, it's scary
because you don't know even if you know you're in
the right, Like, yeah, doesn't mean that the court system
is going to do you right or that the jury
will do you right. So I imagine that's scary going
into that moment.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
That one wasn't my scariest one. This is like my
third lawsuit, so I was a little bit more prepared.
But like everybody's like, how do you do it? Like
how you always win and everything. It's like, use got
to tell the truth and you have to make sure
that the lawyers are not tricking you off the question.
So you tell the truth, Like, but should be here
in there, like you're not scared of nothing.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Is that what's really happening inside what you're presenting, because
it feels from the outside, I'm like, yo, she really
just chews them up and spits them out. That's how
it felt.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But I feel like I'm not wrong. If I feel
like I'm not wrong and my lawyer is telling me
that I'm not wrong, I know I'm not wrong, and
I just have to tell the truth, Like I have
to tell the truth, and you have to have your evidence,
like I know I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I love that about you I think everybody loves that
about you. I think you telling the truth has been
how people fell in love with you in the first place.
Right when you do a reality you do an instagram
you being yourself and being so free, and then the
show and I think it's really amazing to watch that
you haven't lost that even with all the opinions, even
with all the outside noise and everything. How do you
(05:56):
do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I feel like I have changed a lot though yeah,
hell yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
But you're not afraid until the truth. Still, I feel
like that, at least from the outside of things like that.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
There's a lot that I'd be wanting to say. But okay,
so maybe I took it. I could maybe I know,
I could go from one hundred, but I maybe keep
it at sixty because I don't want people to think
that I'm crazy or something. But it's like, like I
really could argue with somebody and prove them wrong every
single day, every single day, all day, like even like
(06:31):
today with the whole like pregnancy announcement. Like there's a
lot of things that it's like, bitch, I will drag
you each you spitch you out, like but it's like,
you know, what I'm not. You gonna do it, honey,
I can't. But I feel like I have torn down
a lot with every aspect, with everything that I that
I handle.
Speaker 2 (06:48):

lost yourself to you in.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
That Sometimes I feel like I have lost myself, Like
who the fuck am I really, Yes, that surprises me
so much. Yes, a lot of one of the reasons
why I feel like I haven't put out music or
like I stopped myself from a lot of things, people
will think that it's because of like come my kids,
because I had like three kids, or because I was pregnant.
(08:03):
A lot of things that stopped me was the way
that people have like criticized me and tore me into pieces.
So the point that it's like I have to protect
my I have to protect my mental health, like I
have to like I need a break, and then like
those breaks will be like I'm taking two months off
and next thing you know, it's seven months that you
haven't put out music and you're not even realizing that
(08:25):
time is passing, because that'd be it'd be hard and
you just you just lose yourself.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I'm glad you take that time though, for yourself when
you need it, and.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
May be with little things. It'd be with like music,
it'd be with like body and stuff like that. It
just be with everything, and it's like this is not myself.
Like I I went to an industry when I was
eighteen years old where everybody had fake boobs and nice
expense weave, and I went to the to that industry
(09:04):
like I don't give a fuck. I'm the baddest bitch
in here. No titties, no ass, no nothing. Then I
went to another type of club where everybody had titties
and asks, and I was still like, I don't give
a fuck, I'm the baddest bitch in this bitch. So
I've always been a very confident person. So for people
like to criticize everything from the way I look from
(09:25):
up and down for my body or whatever thing, and
people then putting a type of personality on you, Like
people would tell me, like you do your you get
your body done because you're insecure about yourself, and it's
like you're you're you're projecting something that I'm not. I'm
not insecure about myself. I just do what I want.
I just do what I want. I like. I like
a doll. Look like That's why I like. I like
(09:47):
a doll. Look do I have to do it? Do?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Do?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Am I gonna die without it?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
But I like it?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
No, I get that. But I think a lot of
artists we probably lose out on seeing a lot of
great artists and artists work because I think it scares people.
I think the public either way it is right now
really scares people. But I wonder for you because this
is like in real life we talk about like the
inside of who people are and stuff, and I think
that is all outside shit, and you manage it really well.
I know you say you think it's changed you, but
(10:12):
the fact that we still see the same from the outside.
People who watched your career still see that same kind
of like confidence and drive and just honesty, Like that's
what people fell in love with in the beginning, and
it's still there. Like you said, you might have toned
it down a little, but it's still there. The fact
that you've been able to manage that is amazing. But
how does it affect your real life, like your everyday
(10:33):
life when you're home and your mommy mode and you
with your sister and your friends.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I have learned. I have learned to like try my
best not to let what people are saying and like
a hate train warn what I got going on in
my real life.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
What's the trick to that? Because it's not just you.
People deal with that at work, people deal with that
with that everywhere. What's the trick to like blocking out noise.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
The trick is like, don't make that mistake again. Like
I feel like I have lost so many good times,
and I feel like, of course, I'm not gonna blame
certain failures on me. Okay, I'm not gonna blame certain
failures on me, but like you know, like even like
being a relationship, sometimes somebody could like plan a date
(11:30):
and you'll be like you and you're planning a date
and you're getting fine, and you're getting doing everything. I
don't know where you're happy, and then like you're mad
or you're angry because somebody says something nasty about you
or because somebody is fucking with you, and now you're
mad and you want to be the bitch ass and
it's like you're forgetting about the date. So I'm not
(11:54):
like going forward, I'm not gonna let people mess me
up with that. It's crazy because that makes sense. Like
I remember this one time I got into an argument
with this big blog, like huge blog on my child birthday,
on Coach's birthday, and they made me feel so little
about myself, so little by myself.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Because of the argument or because because.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Of the argument, the little slick thing that they said,
like they practically made me feel like I needed them,
And I hate when people feel like I need them
for anything. That's one thing. I never feel like I
need nobody for nothing, even when I was young, Like dear,
I'll sleep on a fucking train up and down if
(12:37):
I gotta take it, because I don't. I'm very prideful.
This person child made me feel so bad about myself.
And I'm arguing back and forth with them on my
kid's birthday. And when I sit back and it's like,
I can't believe I let this bitch ruin my kids
my day and it was my kid's day. So certain
things you got to tell yourself, Like it's like you
(12:58):
can't let certain ship online, certain things ruined. How I
love that, Like yeah, like you're gonna continue your day,
especially now that I have like I have new people
in my life. I have a new person in my life.
I have kids, I have more, I'm having more kids.
Like it's like I can't let what they say and
(13:18):
what certain moments when people say what I feel, because
like even with imagining players, I remember when I I
remember when I heard that jay Z approved the record.
I was mad fucking happy. I was gagged. I was
Gaggy think you would. It's not It's not that I
(13:40):
think he would. It was just like, oh my god,
he got to approve the record. It's jay z imagine
like nah.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, but it really messed up to me, Like it
just everything to me, and it is that I cannot
forget how I feel that day because people that that
probably hate me, or people that just are not a fan,
(14:16):
not a fan, are saying about me, or even today,
like even even today right, me and my man were
very happy that we're having a baby, like we're happy,
We're I love that we we here like it's like whatever,
we just it is what it is. We here, like
I'm not gonna let people make me feel like take
that away from me because whatever they feel, it's my life.
(14:39):
I'm grown and you're happy and I'm happy, like I'm not.
I'm not sad about it. I'm not worried about it.
I'm here. Like it's like people know how you feel.
I'm like, I'm here, I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
I'm here how I supposed to feel.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It's always interesting though, because when you're like coming out,
I don't know, after like some heartbreak and you've been
open about that you've been through some stuff. I mean,
everybody knows you've been through stuff. Sometimes it's scary putting
yourself out there again. Sometimes the next relationship or anything
is scary for women. But maybe that's not how you feel.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I don't, no, no, no, I was really scared. Really took
me a minute. I mean I felt for the boards
like a year ago, and I was like practically single,
not practically single, but like the marriage been dead, it
been dead. So to open up myself to somebody else
(15:36):
it was very scary. But being sheltered, it hurts too
be sheltered, and I just don't want to deal with nobody.
It feels lonely too, because I did it all while
I was like, all right, I'm completely single. I gave
birth to my daughter. I was working one thing through Thursday.
(16:00):
Then I was going out the whole entire weekend with
my friends. I was getting drunk, I was in the street,
was outside, I was outside, I was eating dinner. I
was bad bitching. I was shopping. Had I started getting
like a shopping addiction. I don't know what it was like.
I was like learning myself, but there was days that
(16:23):
that liquor hit and you in the club. I don't
know if y'all regret this feeling, but like it could
be three thirty and you're like, I'm about to go
home in a little bit, and I don't know, it
hits you, that hennessy hits you like it's like, damn,
I got nobody to talk to I got I'm drunk,
and I got nobody to give this web hot, Like
(16:46):
I got nobody to make me feel good. So it's
like it's kind of both. It's kind of like still
it would be torture. It's like you're torturing yourself. So
it's like, you know what, let me just take that
instead of being scared, instead of being scared, Yeah, because
being scared and it's like no, I'm just I'm just
(17:06):
gonna avoid it because I might fall in love. And
if I fall in love and this don't work out,
but then you're going home and you and you lonely
and you sad, and you ain't got nothing to talk,
you don't got no where to talk to. It's like
it's funny, like Adele says it, like on My Little
Love at the end, she has like a whole monologue
and she just said like it's like, damn, today, I
feel really lonely and it's a it's a it's a
(17:28):
scary feeling, like am I gonna be lonely forever? Am
I gonna be able to love again? Like?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
So when you find it?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So when you find it, it's like you find it,
I'll take it. I'll take it, I take it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, what do you feel? Because it feels like you're fearless,
Like I feel like you've really managed your career in
a fearless manner, Like what does scare you?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I fear losing everything. I feel losing every day after Yeah,
hell yeah, I feel I think I don't know. I
think libras were scared to like rethink of it. Everything
we plan ahead. I'm already thinking ten years from now.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
What's there? What is that? What's over there in ten years?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But what does it look like? What is it? Are you?
What are you doing? Do me a future? Do me
like Crystal?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Ten years from now? I have to make sure that
like Plan A, this is my plan A. Plan B
gotta be moving like it's like what am I going
to do to maintain an income? Like I have a
certain lifestyle. I want to be able to spend the
money that I spend now ten years from now. How
am I going to do that? How am I going
to do that? So I'm always thinking ahead, So I'm
(18:38):
always afraid of that. I'm very cautious with like everything
that I'm conscious with everything.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Maybe maybe. But I feel like as born ups, we
all have like different type of like it's always something.
But so that's why one is not nothing. It's like,
oh it's great, peaceful.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I got a little irl bowl. We should do irl bowl? Yes, yeah, Okay,
these are all in real life questions, questions about Carti
B's real life. Let's see what you got.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
What is the habit you're proud of? What is the
habit you're trying to break? Okay, So one of the
habits that I'm kind of like proud of, I feel
like I'm waking up. I'm becoming more of a daytime person.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I'm not a the Oh I'm so surprised, Like what
is that?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Though, Like I'm waking up well, every day, I wake
up like around seven am because I know my man
gonna text me at seven am. I'll be like hey,
hey hei. But then I be up at ten. I'll
usually go to sleep black at six am, and I'll
be up by twelve pm, like when I be up.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Early because man, because you wait for that test and
but that.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
But it's like sometimes you wake up and you're just
in bed and you just like, oh shit, I've been
in TikTok for an hour. But now I'd be like,
oh shit, I've been in TikTok for thirty minutes. But
I answered to calls, so something was accomplished, getting the
work done. Not procrastinating. Was that I'm trying to break
(22:25):
I'm trying to stop eating this ice, honey.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Why it's not bad. It's water, yeah, but I don't
like the feeling when I don't have it and you're
like addicted to ice.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yes, it's been like that for like a minute. Then
I stopped it. Then it came back. I don't know.
Maybe because I stopped, why don't you stop? I stopped
smoking cigarettes and stuff. I haven't been looking drinking and stuff.
So maybe I'm just like it's not. I had it
like in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, then I stopped. Then
(22:56):
I picked it up again with blossom. Then it just
never left the way and now it's just becoming worse.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
You should ask somebody about that. It's gotta be a reason,
Like it's just a habit. I don't think it's an
addiction because it's not. It's just water.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's just I get cranky when I don't have.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
It's like what, okay, a couple of things. Yeah, because
we're talking in real life, right, what what has being
a mom changed about you? Or what did you learn
or what was a big surprise?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Well, like, of course I'm on my forfeit.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I'm saying I didn't now.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Yeah, but when you have your first kid, even when
like you know the people like when the kids, when
the baby sleep, you go to sleep too, And it's
like no, because you're even afraid to go to sleep
because what happened if something happened to them when they're sleeping,
Like my baby used to throw up, used to throw
up while she sleep. So those were the type of
things like becoming a new mom, it's a little bit
(23:50):
difficult that people think. I've been telling people like as
I just remember, it's the six months that are tough,
the first six yes, And it's just little things that
you just worry about, like like it's like what type
of man you're gonna be? What type of woman are
you gonna be? It just be the the little fears,
Like it's like I have to protect these these these
(24:13):
are I have to protect them. They're so innocent. But
then it's like I can't even protect you that much
because you one day you gotta be a man. One
day you one day you're gonna have a social media,
like for my daughter, Like one day you're gonna have
a social media. One thing, you're gonna read things about you,
and I hope that will affect you in no way.
So it's like I've been trying to protect but it's just.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You can do so much.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
You can only do with so much, and they're always
on your Your kids never leave your mind. You don't
notice that no matter where you at, what you're doing,
they just don't leave your mind ever, not for a second.
They don't leave your mind, Like you just think about
them all day, probably in the club or your drug
as a cultures. So and it's are being a mother's
(25:01):
hard that you have money or you don't.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
People think because you have money, that's probably easier.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
It is easier, but it's kind of like not, it's
still hard. Just having that responsibility is hard.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Yeah, And it's a NonStop job.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And it's a non stop jobs, NonStop, and you're about
to have another one. Yep, it's okay. Is that it's okay.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
You're about to do party training again? Oh my god,
breast for your breastfeeder, no breastfeed What else is at
the at the beginning, just all of it? Sleeping not
sleeping through the night.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
The night, I'm telling you, it's really the worst thing
is like going outside with them, Oh my gosh, danks
giving Christmas? Oh, going to your grandma's house. I don't
want to go. I don't want to go because it's
just it's just getting three ready to outside. Oh that's tough,
(25:57):
like because it's like, Okay, you're bathing one, cleaning one,
but then you gotta stop because you gotta feed the baby.
Then after you feed the baby, you gotta take it
back to the other one. Not the other one is
talking about mommy I'm hungry.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
They assume you have help with this type of stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I do have help, But there's days that it's like
people need days off, you know what I'm saying. People
need They all like they have life too. They want
to enjoy them so and it's like, bitch, this is
your this is your ship. One thing about kids, they're
your kids. Yeah, they're yours, especially like in the holidays
and everybody's going home, they're yours. You gotta wash and clean,
(26:33):
they butt and all that, all three of them. Certain
things that is like your kids want you there. They
want you. They don't want no grandma. They don't want
no grandpa. Theyn't want no nanny, they don't want know nothing.
They want you.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
And it's it's a good feeling.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
It's a good feeling. It's a good feeling.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It's a good feeling. That's a good feeling when they
want you. I can't believe you about that afford. Okay,
So what about love? Where are you with love? Like,
what are your belief systems about love? Has it changed you?
Are you still? Like I feel like you're a little
mushi because you're talking about your little morning calls and
stuff like that. But do you I don't know. Do
you have any thoughts about it? Do you believe in it?
Do you need it still so much in your life?
(27:13):
Some women say like, you know, I'll be good either way,
someone like I need a partner.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I believe in it. But I do understand why you
got that, aren't that. It's like you're like, you're like
in your fifties and you're like and smart and dog
and you're pretty and you're you're sixty and you're good,
Like why don't you why don't you have a man?
Why I've never seen you with a man. And it's
(27:39):
like now I know why. Now I know why that
would It would drive you crazy. The beginning stages, the
mind game, the checks because everybody got different checks. You
know what I'm saying, Like some women be like, Okay,
(28:02):
I need a man to do this. I need a
man just that I need a man to have a job,
and I need a man to be at home at
a certain time, and I need a man that calls
me this amount of time, and like everybody have different checklists, checklists,
So I really understand, like that mind game, it's really
a mind game. Thing. That mind game is like some
(28:25):
women I can see why they were like, I can't
deal with this mind game shit. I cannot deal with it.
Or some men will traumatize a woman so much that
they'll be like, I just don't ever want to do
it again. And I'm fine with that. And if you
ever see a woman that she don't got a man,
don't ever don't be judging her, Like it's like, why
you don't have a man? Is it because you can
(28:45):
keep a man? Is it because this isn't that? No,
some women just don't really want to deal with these niggas.
I don't understand. She just want to protect her peace.
Like I love love, and I believe in love, and
I believe in marriage, and I believe in family, and
I believe in union. But I also do understand why
other women like it's just like I'm not doing this
shit again. I understand it, and that's why I will
(29:08):
not even judge them, Like, don't judge me neither, though,
but I won't judge you neither, because I really I
understand why when you want to do it, I feel
like some women just be like, you know what, I'd
rather be alone. I don't get a fuck about it.
I don't I could.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Because the knockdown for a lot of women is really hard. Yes,
when you're get knocked down that ship, some people don't
want to get back up.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, they don't want to get back up again. And
it's like if you ever see your aunt and were like,
why my aunt don't have a nigga, or like it's
my grandma grandmother, Well my grandma passed, but I always
be like, I want my grandma to have a boyfriend.
I used to do I used to brush your hair,
and it feel like, so you could have a boyfriend.
(29:52):
And it's like, no, no, my grandma never had a man.
Like they don't want to deal with that. Nobody want
to deal with that.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
What will you teach your sons about that, about how
to treat a woman, or what will you teach your
sons about relationships? Because it's one thing your daughter. You
tell your daughter to watch out for this, to watch out. Yes,
but raising boys is different, Like what do you what
will you teach your boys about being a good man
in that way? Do you know what you're having yet?
By the way, you don't know? Oh you do? No, okay,
(30:23):
I did know, but exaving that for another day, Well,
I won't I know.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
The hard things that I want to tell him that.
One thing is like, let me tell you some boy,
if a bitch slightly say no, is no, you ain't
gonna bring no problems in my house. You're gonna bring
no little bitch said that, they're no funny ship. Second,
you don't own a bitch body.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Hm.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
So if you get a bitch knocked up and she
say no, it's no. And it's like, don't think that
I'm gonna be helping you because I ain't. You better
get a job. You weren't bringing overage to live in
my house?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Are you having these not having these conversations anytime soon? Right?
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You got to prepare yourself.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Okay, just clarity, just for clarity, guys, got it, a libra,
I got it. You're thinking of the future of the future.
I understand. I just wanted to clarify that that that
case anybody.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
So those are but like those are the things that
is like all right first and foremost.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yes, but also like you know, hav integrity for me.
And when I'm thinking about the things, it's like say
what you mean what you say? You know you don't
if you ain't ready, that's okay. You ain't ready.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
If you ain't ready, you gotta let a girl a
girl know, like baby, this ain that because if you
play with a girl's heart. To some guys, playing with
a girl's heart is like so it's not a big deal,
but it's it's the karma that comes to you. So
if you're having a bad day at your job and
having a bad day, like it's like, damn, my luck
(32:02):
has been bad, it's because you probably put a girl
through some tears. So don't play mind games because karma.
Some men that they don't think that, they don't think
they get bad karma. When you hurt somebody's heart.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Oh that's good. People should hear that. You may just
say it again, yes, like you know. Charlottagne says that
he says because he cheated on his wife and he
was a cheater for a long time.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
That he stopped.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
He knows the date that the last time, and he
changed his life, and he said his life has changed
so much more positive. He's has so many more blessings
since he became a good husband. Yes, the second that
you become a good person to your wife, your life flourishes.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yes, because it's like you're hurting somebody, And I don't
think people understand how bad is that pain when you
hurt somebody that loves you, And it might not be
your wife. It just might be a girl that you
probably was playing mind games with and you made them
feel like you love them, and it's like you rip
that love from them, and it's like God would make
(33:03):
you pay for that. So don't bring that back karma
into you. Boy. And I'm gonna mind my business. But
if you bring a girl to my house and that's
your girlfriend, and you bring another bridge, I'm a grill
her and be like I ain't gonna be messy because
they're in my place. But I'm a girl her, Like
wein my son girlfriend. I don't know what's gonnap. Oh
(33:35):
my god, I was. I wasn't even raised with boys.
It's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And you're trying to figure it out and you're like,
I mean, you're not really a single mom because you
have a family and even help and yeah whatever, but
like it's still your kids.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
It's your kids, your kids, no matter what, even if
the dad was around, it's like it's still your It's fine.
I think I.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Think those mothers, whether they married, divorce whatever. Most mothers
feel like those are actually my kids.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Yes, it's like, okay, I'm glad you're here, but these
are my kids.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Yeah for sure. What about your girls.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm really scared of the girls. Why because we're so sensitive.
Everything hurts our feelings. Especially my oldest daughter. She's very
she's seven, and she she has such a good heart.
So it's like, oh, I'm scared to go through that.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Do what will you teach her about? I don't know.
Making the right choices and partners and friendships. That was
that was always the thing for me. It's like make
sure you the wrong friends can ruin your life. Yep,
the wrong partner.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
You got to scare them there it is.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
You're gonna do really good at that. I don't know
why I think you're gonna do a good job.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
You got to scare them. I mean, my my mom
used to scare the ship out of me. Did she
tell you she to like say like she used to
tell me, Like it's like if you, if if you
or Hannessy get pregnant, you will have to get out
of my house. It's not like, oh I'll help you
this and that. You have to get out of my house.
(35:14):
There cannot be two women in this house. And that
used to be like that. That used to be like
in my head, like when I was fourteen fifteen, like
it's like, oh my gosh, imagine having to live so
young with a guy with no job and I got
no job and I got it. She will scare me.
They kept you straight, It kept me straight, like and
she used to be like, if you go out and
(35:35):
you don't come home, there's a night that you don't
come home, you will have to get the fuck out
of my house. So I will never even like, oh,
come home. And it's a certain she will scare the
shit out of me. She didn't even have to beat me.
I just the certain things that it's like, I don't
want that life. I don't want that life problem. I
don't want those problems. I don't want to be a
(35:56):
teenage viobe. I don't want to do that. No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
So you're gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, I'm scared her, Like it's like scale the ship
out of them. Don't don't try to relate.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Are you Are you the soft or you're a disciplinarian?
Do you think I'm both?
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I'm both because certain things my kids are not scared
of me.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
It's a joke.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Whatever they think it's so funny, it's not funny. But okay,
But I certain things I feel like my mom is
more strict than me, and certain things like my like
my mom put a timer on my kid's iPad, so
I eight o'clock. My daughter be crying to me, like please, mommy, please,
she cried to me, and I'd be like, okay, you
(36:40):
can use my phone. But certain things that my mom
would do that I'd be like, stop. Like every day
my kids have to go to tutoring. They gotta take
the piano classes. They gotta take the classes. And my
mom be like, you're you're crazy. They're gonna get tired. Stop,
it's for the best of them. Go to your class
before you piss me off. It's only one hour.
Speaker 2 (37:03):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
But they're sleepy. They've been up since six Stop. Stop.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
That's good. So you got the best of both worlds.
You get the best of both worlds with that, all right?
I got in real life questions. I know, Brittany, we
gotta wrap so.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Oh my god. In real life, let's do our in
real life questions. In real life? What are you most
proud about of yourself?
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Everything? Really, every I'm really proud of myself. These past
two months, I've been working my ass.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
We all can see it.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Yes, Like even even the other day, I almost I
almost cried because it's like, yo, I'm I'm really in it.
There's no stone that has been left unturned. I have
done everything I have put in my fucking all tire,
sleepy feed, hurt, the train, station and everything, video, everything
(39:55):
and that that that'd be little. Those are like the
little things I have, like thirteen hour photo shoots day
in a few days everything, And it's like, wow, I'm
proud of myself. I told myself that I got to
push myself. My my. I don't keep saying my guy
got my man, my man, but it's like exact, he do.
(40:17):
He's very he really motivates me, and he's just be like,
you gotta do antil you uncomfortable. You if you're comfortable,
you're not doing enough. And it's like I'm uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
There's something about athletes though, it's like an athlete mentality,
Like yeah, it's like a certain discipline they have and
a certain type of drive. Yes, that probably works good
for you. It's working for me.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah, it's working for me because I'll probably be like,
oh my gosh, I can't do any one day break.
I have not taken out no breaks, no breaks. This
nigga ain't took no fucking break. Yeah. I ain't gonna
take what I'm strong.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
To your competitives too. Yeah, I'm not gonna be the one.
You do need breaks though, come on, you can't. I
mean at some.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Point after this week.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Okay, after after this week in real life? What do
you pray for most?
Speaker 1 (41:05):
I pray every day. I pray every second. I pray
ever eleven eleven two to two, three two three four
for four, I pray. I will even close my eyes
about prayer. I pray for everything for everybody, like all day,
every day, all day every day.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
What are your conversations like with him? Casual, like like
a friend, Like.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
I don't even feel like a prayer. It just feels
like I'm just talking. I don't know who I'm talking to,
but I'm talking like I'm talking. And I curse too
when I pray. He knows, Yeah, because he knows me.
Yea God, you know, God knows me. God maybe he mad,
he knows.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
I always say he knows my heart.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
He knows my heart. But God knows me. But I
talk every day.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Yeah, I've been in a bag lately, like I don't know.
They have been saying some prayers and then it really.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
Happened like it happened.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
No, it's prayers like really crazy, like you ask for
something real specific like regularly and you get an answer quick.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
I'm telling you this is so weird. When the whole
Imaginary Players thing happened. So many people was having different discords,
so many people were saying, like, if her career, if
she don't do this, her career is over. She doesn't
have nothing together. It really broke me down. It broke
(42:17):
me down, and I got on the phone with my
team and I was like, we have to push harder,
fill up the schedule. I want to do this, this
and that. And it's so funny because like the court
case thing, that shit was not planned. I actually kept
trying to cancel, it kept canceling canceling, and it turned
in my favor and it got me so many national
(42:37):
news things. And I was just going to court and
that was something that was unplanned that came out of nowhere.
And that's only God. That's only God that could do that.
That's only God that could change a tie like that.
And he's just so real because I was like, God
helped me, Like I'm losing it again. I haven't felt
(42:57):
like this in a long time. I haven't felt insecure
about music in a long time. And he changed that
again and again, and it was only him. It was
only him. That was nothing that I could have came
up with that was nothing that my team could have
came up with. That was just literally God a blessing.
And I was getting dragged because I was arguing with somebody,
so everybody made me a bad person there. Everybodys saying
(43:19):
that was fat foot because she's like fat pho. But
I'm gonna fucking you fucking fat shit the fuck. It
was just a lot going on and I just felt
so bad. I feel like, I feel like, damn, I
remember when everybody s would hate me like this, and
I'm getting back that hatred again. And God turned that around.
He's so real, yo, He's so real right, and he
have such a so I be saying like, ooh, I
(43:44):
love that.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Man. When you get those signs like that, when you
get a moment where the tides change where you're like
feeling beat up and down, and then something happens and
you feel like renewed again, Like does it make you
feel like you're in your purpose? Like this is what
you're supposed to be doing.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
It makes me feel like I'm in my purpose and
it makes me feel like brag about him, But don't
be on some ad high, you see, I always get
it because every soon time that you do that got
snatch it. I'm telling you things tie changes all the time.
You got to see when it's your purpose. You got
(44:20):
to see when he's giving you another chance. So God
wants to see. Sometimes it's like, how are you gonna
act when I give you this chance? Because I'll take
it from you if you keep fucking playing, or if
you're thinking that you're above it, or you're thinking that
you could pick on somebody or bully somebody, because you
you are at a certain level. So it's like, you'll
(44:40):
check you, you'll check you, and you know when he's checking.
You know when God is checking you, because God be
like I.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
Because you know when you when you're doing something that
ain't supposed to be doing. Yep, you know already. Yep,
it's so true. I know we have to wrap my
last question. I always ask everybody if God were to
text you right now, he's going to send you a text,
what would it say right now?
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Better? Shut up? You're doing good right now, don't fuck up,
don't fuck up, you're doing good right now. Don't curse
nobody out. You got no reason to curse nobody out.
And when this whole run is over and I'm not
pregnant no more, you got you gotta give something to
(45:22):
your team. I've been giving my team hell.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
Oh no, that's what God would text you take kill
your team, yeah, because I've been giving them hell.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
But it's not my phone. I'm pregnant. I know I'm
being insufferable right now.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
It's all right. You're working hard too, so they got
to give you a break, give you a little grace. Congratulations, baby.
What do you hope people take away from this whole
run of yours and this whole moment in your life?
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Did y'all wreaking my fucking yeah? Yah. Let me tell
you something. I'm working hard, but I want this shit.
I want this shit and the only way to fucking
get it is by working for it. Shit is not
gonna fool your motherfucking laugh. It's just not. It's not
