00:00 I'll say this and people will be surprised.

00:02 Nicki Minaj did it right.

00:06 In the sense of in the sense of she said what she felt

00:10 she no, no, and I'm not you know, because people no matter

00:12 if I say something good or bad about Nicki Minaj is I'm either

00:15 sucking her pussy or I'm either a fucking hater.

00:17 So like let's just be very clear.

00:19 I'm going to give her her prize when she deserves it, you know,

00:21 these shows come and go there really people in the talk space

00:23 if you don't understand with Wendy and Ellen leaving it's

00:26 really fragile right now.

00:28 And I'll tell you those of you that have been following my

00:30 career, you know that I wanted a daytime talk show for a long

00:33 time.

00:33 I have since abandoned the idea of daytime talk.

00:36 I I had to reconcile with the fact that I'm not willing to

00:39 play the game and I don't believe that TV is where it's

00:43 at anymore.

00:44 It's all right here online.

00:45 We can reach thousands and thousands of people just by

00:48 doing a show right here in the in the

00:50 what the space that we create all the talk show hosts.

00:53 They want what you have.

00:54 How about the brains is the one who's targeting the artist?

00:57 Say it again.

00:58 How about if it's the brains who come ours after the artist

01:01 like, you know, they offer her that podcast.

01:03 Yeah, this one saying I'm not a I'm not a hater.

01:05 Mary J.

01:06 Blige has a show Mary J.

01:08 Blige is not known for opening up about her personal life.

01:11 Mary J.

01:12 Blige has a documentary.

01:13 That's phenomenal.

01:14 I love and enjoy that.

01:16 I've watched it twice everybody.

01:17 If you haven't seen Mary J.

01:18 Blige's documentary go watch it, but a talk show host has to

01:22 be willing to strip down the veil that they built up as a

01:26 brand to let the audience feel like they know them.

01:29 The reason why you guys keep tuning in for me wherever I go

01:32 by Instagram Vigo Facebook live wherever I'm at podcast TV.

01:37 So the reason why you show for me is because you know that

01:39 I'm in it and I'm going to say it how I see it.

01:42 You may not like it.

01:43 You may love it.

01:44 You may enjoy it.

01:45 You may laugh you may cry but you know, it's going to be

01:48 what I think and I'm going to be unapologetic about it.

01:50 I think that lot of was phenomenal.

01:51 A lot of things I've supported her and I'll say this and

01:54 people will be surprised.

01:56 Nicki Minaj did it right in the sense of in the sense of she

02:02 said what she felt she no, no, and I'm not, you know, because

02:05 people no matter if I say something good or bad about

02:07 Nicki Minaj is I'm either sucking her pussy or I'm either

02:10 a fucking hater.

02:11 So like let's just be very clear.

02:12 I'm going to give her her prize what she deserves.

02:14 I think that she weaponized the platform to attack girls when

02:18 it was convenient or attack Joe Budden or me or whoever but

02:21 in terms of getting off what she felt and saying what she

02:25 thought she had no problem doing that and when she had

02:28 guests like Joe Budden on her show challenge of her she went

02:31 toe-to-toe with Joe, even though she turned his mic off,

02:34 you know, she went toe-to-toe with him and I feel like if

02:36 you're going to do it,

02:37 then you have to be able to have that keep that same energy.

02:40 And so I think that Nicki did it somewhat.

02:42 Right?

02:42 I think

02:43 also consider your guests when you have a guest like a Chloe

02:46 Bailey, who's not known for messy shit.

02:50 I don't think it's fair to be messy with her.

02:52 You know what I mean?

02:52 Yeah, this is like it's like trying to pull

02:55 something out of somebody that's not there, you know,

02:56 because even when they're talking which I'm not shading

02:59 any with the podcast.

03:01 I'm just saying like as a critic to people who a person

03:03 watches podcast.

03:04 It has to be a certain dynamic, you know, and like you say

03:07 something like fill the room.

03:08 Like I don't think the room was really felt because a lot of

03:10 it was just like awkward, you know, it was it was just

03:12 awkward.

03:13 Yeah, it's a little awkward, you know, and I love both of

03:16 them.

03:17 Like I listen to a lot of music.

03:18 I love Chloe.

03:19 I love both of them.

03:20 But you know, sometimes saying you're staying your gift, but

03:22 you can get you know, if I thought first of all,

03:25 if I thought they were together, I would have called

03:26 Quavo to say are you and Chloe with them?

03:28 Because I can tell you I've seen Karrueche standing with

03:31 Quavo.

03:32 No, I'm just saying but but I mean I was because you have

03:42 those axes like not I people can just every your stuff

03:45 everybody everybody in this industry.

03:48 Do you do you follow I spice?

03:49 No, I actually don't do you know who I spice is?

03:52 Yeah.

03:52 Do you follow Twitter?

03:54 - Yeah. - And social media?
