00:00 - Hanging out with DDG and R&B hip hop power players, man.
00:03 From content creator to rapper, man,
00:04 tell me what your journey's been like.
00:06 - It's been rough, it's been ups and downs,
00:09 but I'm having fun, you know?
00:10 Following my dreams, doing what I gotta do to make it.
00:13 - And then you dropped the album, Maybe It's Me,
00:15 so tell me what you wanted to say with your project.
00:18 - I just wanted to get all the opinions and stuff
00:21 that people had about me out the way.
00:23 Play that villain role for a little bit,
00:25 but I'm back to just making good, relatable music.
00:29 - Well, you say villain role, but man,
00:30 you were out supporting Kai, another content creator.
00:32 You and Offset.
00:33 Tell me about that situation,
00:34 why you decided you wanted to lend your voice to it.
00:36 - That's my homie, though.
00:38 So it's like, you know, anybody I'm friends with,
00:41 I'll ride with them through anything.
00:42 So, you know, I just felt like they was trying him too much.
00:46 He was just trying to give back to the people.
00:48 - I love that, man.
00:49 Speaking of relationships, too,
00:50 obviously you got a powerful girlfriend as well.
00:52 Have you listened to Angel?
00:53 What do you think about her new track?
00:55 - I listened to Angel.
00:56 I gave Angel a million streams before it came out,
00:58 so yeah, I listened to her a lot.
01:01 I'm a big supporter of her, obviously, of course.
01:04 - And then, you know, all that conversation that was online,
01:05 like even with Kiki and her whole situation,
01:08 like having a powerful woman,
01:09 like how's it to see your woman out there
01:11 and, you know, give her her reigns to be her?
01:14 - I feel like it's a woman's time right now, you know?
01:17 And I feel like women are more powerful than ever.
01:19 So as a man that's, you know,
01:21 a part of a woman of that stature,
01:24 you just gotta be a supporter, you know?
01:26 - I love that, man.
01:27 And last thing I wanna ask you,
01:28 a long time ago you tweeted this, I think.
01:30 You said you had never seen the Little Mermaid cartoon.
01:32 I just wanna ask you, have you seen the cartoon yet?
01:34 - I haven't.
01:35 I haven't watched the cartoon.
01:36 I only watched the live.
01:37 I had a genuine question
01:38 'cause I wanted to enjoy it as a live action.
01:40 So now I finally got to see the live action.
01:43 I don't think I need to see the cartoon, do I?
01:45 - Hey, listen, we know who Ariel is now.
01:47 Thank you, man.
01:48 I appreciate speaking with you.
