FunTranscript
00:00Alright, it's your boy O in here on a Saturday with the Cutmaster Couture, I call her.
00:08She don't slouch when it comes to, I mean like every DJ I know pretty much slides up
00:13in whatever they doing to rock the house, but not Kim Lee.
00:17Kim Lee is Couture head to toe to DJ.
00:21This is crazy, you looking like a million dollars right now.
00:25What up though?
00:25What's up Orlando, thanks for having me.
00:28What's up Tampa?
00:28What up y'all?
00:29Alright, now be clear, you're international, MTV Asia, the Netflix show and all that, but
00:36down home you're just a DJ.
00:38Oh yeah.
00:39DJ is in your heart, this ain't something you glowed up and then started doing it, like
00:43a lot of famous people, they're like, oh I can do parties too and they learn how to DJ.
00:47You're a DJ.
00:48No, music's been my passion, before Bling Empire, before the whole MTV stuff, DJing is my baby.
00:55Yeah, I mean a pianist also, I mean classically trained, but I mean I've watched you.
00:59Oh, you're hyping me up right now.
01:00I've watched you get in.
01:01Like, I mean, y'all have heard me talk about scams, Suja, shout out to Suja and the whole
01:05team, but like, you know, you, it's funny because I tease the ladies because y'all gotta
01:10look like you and the dudes just be out here looking like just somebody who's like moving
01:15people on Saturdays.
01:16Like, they just, the guys don't have to look as glossed up as you do.
01:20I mean, I feel like, I mean, it is a good thing that when, it's nice to have, when you're
01:25good looking, as a, when a woman's good looking, but if you can throw down on the decks, that's
01:29what's, that's what's important.
01:31That's shocking because when you see somebody who can like go in and you like, I mean like
01:35Brooke goes through it, Brooke Everest.
01:36Oh, that's my girl.
01:37Yeah, you know, and I used to always bug Skyler by Sky Neller, you know what I mean?
01:41Like, so, you know, it's like the girls got to have their couture popping and blah, blah,
01:45dudes show up in a white tee and just go get it.
01:47You know what I'm saying?
01:48So it's just, it's funny.
01:49All right.
01:49So we're going to talk bling empire.
01:52We're going, we're going to definitely talk, uh, you know, about what's going on today.
01:56Cause you, I mean, you got a couple of spots you're doing today.
01:58Like you're doing the day party.
01:59You're doing it tonight too.
02:00Like you.
02:01Oh my God.

02:03Like, I mean, really?
02:03Why we got, most people come to town, got one job.
02:05You come to town to cop too.
02:07Right.
02:07You guys got me working extra hard.
02:09I'm at the radio station too.
02:11I'm in here doing promo and all this stuff.
02:13So yeah, we're going to talk about all that.
02:15And, and we got to talk about this whole, this whole Asian community thing, huh?
02:19We got to remind folks that the love is important.
02:21Like that just like when I was, you know, I'm me and Joe Coy are tight.
02:25And so every time we talk, I'm like, yo, and remember, cause people are like here rock
02:28with Joe.
02:29And so it's like, I hate to see the other cities where it's like things are going on where
02:33I'm like, yo, this is kind of insane.
02:35So it's good to have you here so we can get in on all that.
02:37So you ready?
02:38You buckle up.
02:38I'm ready.
02:39You got, I feel underdressed, but I'm going to try and get this in.
02:41All right.
02:42Now you look good.
02:43It's Wild 94.
02:44One Saturday, the sunshine is out.
02:48Loving life.
02:49And on top of that, I got a lovely Kim Lee sitting in front of me, dog.
02:53Y'all just have no idea, dog.
02:55I mean, and she in the mirror.
02:56What about you in the mirror?
02:57What you doing?
02:58I was just checking my hair, you know, making sure it looks right.
03:01It doesn't look right.
03:02Are you happy with it?
03:02I mean, there's just like much.
03:03Should we play another song so you can fix it up?
03:05No, no, I got this.
03:05I got to do it.
03:07All right.
03:08Let's talk Bling Empire now.
03:09I'm a fan of the show.
03:11Yeah.
03:11And everybody who listens to my morning show knows I don't really like reality TV.
03:15Like, because it's just, I don't like people being dumb just to be dumb.
03:18And y'all are showing, like, a real, like, glimpse to the Asian community.
03:25I mean, I've seen Chinese New Year.
03:27I've seen these folks talking about who, like, you know, I mean, there's trips from Anna to Paris and her and she's fighting with, what, Christine?
03:35And they just trying to be dominant and all this other stuff.
03:37Like, it's just, it's really showing people who live in Alabama and Tampa and whatever and not up on that experience a new vibe.
03:46Right.
03:46You know, is that kind of why you got involved in it?
03:49Because it could show another side or what?
03:52Yeah.
03:52I mean, when I first got casted for the show, at first I was like, all right, is this, like, just a crazy rich Asian type of show that where people are just flexing their money?
04:00Because if that's the case, I don't want to do it.
04:02Right.
04:03But, you know, the producer was just like, no, this is, like, showing everyone's lives.
04:07And we come from different backgrounds, you know, from Korea, Vietnam, Japan.
04:12Yep.
04:12And a lot of them were born into money and a lot of us are broke.
04:16A lot of us are self-made.
04:18So I was like, wait, this is a great opportunity for me to show the world what I've been doing for the past 10 years with my music stuff.
04:26And I can, you know, introduce Asian culture and, you know, it's something where the world hasn't seen yet.
04:35So that's when I was like, all right, let's do it.
04:38How has the reaction been?
04:40Like, I mean, are you used to it?
04:42Because your numbers have gone up.
04:45Oh, yeah.
04:45You got followers that's like, I think you're like at nine, I saw it this morning, like 934, 935.
04:51You about to hit a mil.
04:52It's so crazy.
04:53Like, they're so, my followers went up, but a lot of women.
04:57So my DJ shows now are crazy.
05:01Like, I have girls just lining up.
05:04You were surrounded by women at Austin, I saw last couple days ago.
05:06Yes.
05:07And a lot of these people are like, is this like ladies?
05:09I'm like, no, we just happened to turn into ladies.
05:12And the fellow's just like, oh, my God, is it really like that now?
05:15I'm like, yeah.
05:16Yeah.
05:16I mean, and I was always told by club owners that you never see a men's night.
05:23You always see a ladies night, and then men show up where the ladies are.
05:26Right.
05:27So if the ladies are there, God's going to show up by default.
05:30It's crazy.
05:30All right.
05:31So now, you know, I was upset with you.
05:34Why were you upset?
05:35Because you represent the DJ community.
05:36Mm-hmm.
05:37And you show up at Anna's house, and you show out.
05:40Like, listen, you can't be strolling around somebody's house, and then go in their bathroom,
05:46find a sensitive object, and then hurl it out the window to the lawn where everybody else is.
05:52Who are you?
05:53You know your mama raised you better than that.
05:55No, you're right.
05:56My mama did raise me better.
05:57And I'm going to say this.
05:59I messed up.
06:00Right.
06:01I'm glad you said it, because it took a damn episode and a half for you to say that.
06:05No, but let me clear that up.
06:07And everybody was trying to get you straight.
06:08They were like, yo, like, well, you heard her feelings.
06:10You're like, yo, y'all just ganging up on me.
06:13I'm like, you threw a penis pump out the window.
06:16Listen, listen.
06:17All right.
06:17Let me clear it up real quick.
06:18It wasn't because I didn't want to apologize.
06:20I know that was wrong.
06:21I don't, and first off, I'm not going to, I usually do not go to people's house and just,
06:25you know, go through their freaking stuff like that.
06:28It was just one of those moments.
06:29It's like you're with your best friend, and whatever.
06:32It is what it is.
06:33I was like, I dare you do it.
06:34I dare you do it.
06:35And Guy Tang threw the damn thing out.
06:37Oh, he hurled that thing out the window.
06:39I was like, damn, dude.
06:40Now you got to throw somebody's penis pump out the window.
06:42They can't use that no more.
06:44And all you was like, ew, that's so sickening.
06:47Get it out of here.
06:47And I'm like, what else do you expect?
06:50You in a person's bathroom.
06:52Right.
06:52Okay, that was wrong.
06:53And why did I not apologize right away?
06:56It's because how she was coming at me.
06:57She was coming at you like an older lady.
06:59Like, I don't believe that you do this.
07:01It was more of like the whole, I mean, and Guy was with me.
07:04He didn't back me up.
07:05They just kind of just-
07:06Oh, they left you out there to drive.
07:07Right.
07:07And then you had to do the walk of shame.
07:09So I was just mad.
07:10It wasn't, obviously, I knew I was wrong, and I would apologize.
07:13It was just how they came at me.
07:14I was like, okay.
07:14I got to tell you, I was like, I was into, I know when I'm being worked, and I was just
07:19like, yo, this is like, I heard like digging a line in the sand.
07:23She need to just go ahead and apologize.
07:24Right.
07:24So after the episode, I was like, all right, I need to watch the next one to see if this
07:28get better.
07:28Right.
07:28Like, and then fighting and throwing wine and all this other stuff.
07:32It's like, you know, I've been convinced that the tension between you and Kevin means
07:36that y'all going to bump uglies at some point.
07:38Y'all going to get, it's going to be some sexcapades that's going to happen between y'all.
07:42If it ain't happened already, it's, that's got to happen.
07:46Because y'all got this fighting kind of like, that's just, that's, that's love right there.
07:51I don't know what you're talking about.
07:52That's love?
07:52That's love.
07:53That's how love is created.
07:55That's how love is created when it's like drama.
07:58Why is sexual tension going on?
07:59It is.
07:59Y'all got a sexual tension.
08:01He, he from like somewhere small and you from all everywhere else.
08:05And y'all just, it's going to, and trust me, fans of Bling Empire know what I'm talking
08:10about.
08:10Y'all feel the sexual tension.
08:12Between her and Kevin.
08:13Now I want to know if y'all, I'm going to ask after Pop Smoke.
08:17I want to know if y'all haven't done any kissing and stuff.
08:20Hold on.
08:20All right.
08:21I'm in here with Kim Lee, Bling Empire, MTV Asia, all doing her thing this weekend.
08:25Water and Tangra.
08:27She is going to be all around.
08:28She got 10 jobs this weekend.
08:29All right.
08:30We're talking Bling Empire now.
08:32All right.
08:32So you and Kevin, y'all got this.
08:35I'm going to tell you specifically at the, at the like bowling alley joint when you were
08:41like popping off at him talking about, Oh, you just protecting your sugar mama.
08:45He got, he felt some type of way about that.
08:47He did.
08:48Like he got, his energy definitely went up and he started saying you was raised by wolves
08:52or a pack of wolves or something and you hit him with the wine joint.
08:55Right.
08:55That tells me that y'all going to end up having sex.
08:59I'm just saying, that's my translation.
09:02Y'all going to have, something going to happen.
09:04So I have to ask you, is there any romantic interest that you can find in you for Kevin?
09:12I think Kevin and I, we have, all right, there's chemistry there.
09:16I see.
09:17I had to watch the show afterwards to see what everybody's talking about because, you know,
09:20with me and Kevin, we're just normal.
09:22We're, this is how we talk.
09:23We fight and then we make up and we laugh.
09:25And then, um, you know, he's, he's, he's a nice guy.
09:30Okay.
09:31Here we go.
09:31We're back peddling.
09:32I hear the 10 speed going.
09:34You're back peddling right now.
09:35He's a nice guy, but then there's a lot of things I don't like.
09:38And I'm pretty sure he feels the same way.
09:40So, okay.
09:41There is something he does.
09:42Like, I know he's for Kelly.
09:43Cause Kelly is like, you know, Kelly, but Kelly, you know, he, he likes your, he likes you better.
09:50Right.
09:50I'm just saying, I feel that.
09:52I feel he wants Kelly cause Kelly is this.
09:56She needs that cause she has a bad guy.
09:58I think I'm the type of woman Kevin needs.
10:00Cause you know what it is?
10:01I have a very strong personality and I think he's intimidated by it.
10:05Cause he's not used to women like me.
10:07I don't think, I think, I mean the whole, I don't know if anybody, everybody out there is up on it,
10:12but you need to go to IG Kim Lee because they call her the Asian Kim Kardashian.
10:16And I got to tell you, I can see that.
10:18Really?
10:19I can see that.
10:19If you don't go with Kevin, I can see Kanye sliding in your DM after this whole legal process is over with.
10:24I can see that.
10:25But would you go out with Kanye after he's a post-divorce?
10:28I actually know Ye from back then.
10:29I did his music video back in 2008, Love Lockdown.
10:33So, if Kanye just sitting up late night and watching Bling Empire and just DM you after the divorce and say,
10:41you know what, let's just get some lunch.
10:44Let's go out.
10:45Would you go out with Ye?
10:48As friends, maybe.
10:50Single.
10:50Single Ye.
10:51Ain't no disrespect to nobody.
10:53He just a single man.
10:54As friends, yeah, why not?
10:55Yeah.
10:55Friends.
10:56Friends, right?
10:57Friends.
10:57Okay.
10:58Friends.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Why are you looking at me like that?
11:00I'm saying friends, yeah.
11:02I mean, everybody starts a lunch as friends, but then, you know, somebody end up feeding to Jesus at some point.
11:08Like, I mean, you know, like, come on, that happens.
11:10Wine at brunch, whatever.
11:12All right.
11:12All right.
11:14So, let's watch that end up being a thing that you use.
11:19Like, watch that.
11:20Our video guy is smiling now all of a sudden.
11:22All right.
11:22Kim Lee is in the building.
11:24Is this, I mean, really, is this how you had to move around today with the whole, like, you are looking like you are ready to go out to the club.
11:30Listen.
11:31It's like two o'clock in the afternoon in Tampa.
11:33Everybody in, like, slides.
11:34Listen, I don't get to really dress like this in L.A.
11:37Like, out here, the weather's nice.
11:40You know, it's tropical weather.
11:41Oh, y'all can't even go outside.
11:43Exactly.
11:44Yeah.
11:44I just had my second shot yesterday.
11:46Oh, did you?
11:47Yeah.
11:47So, I'm, like, all vaccinated.
11:48You want to kiss?
11:49Oh, wait.
11:51Oh, I was ready for that.
11:52I was like, wait, what?
11:54Would Kevin get mad?
11:55He will be very jealous.
11:57He will be.
11:58He does seem like he's down home where a kiss means a lot to him.
12:01Like, you know how the L.A. dudes are fast?
12:03Like, I'm pretty sure a lot of celebrity dudes slide in your DM just trying to roll the dice.
12:09But in L.A., they want more.
12:11I think Kevin's so, you know, down home family that a kiss, it's like he would go home, like, whistling.
12:19That is true.
12:19Like, that he got a kiss.
12:20You know what I'm saying?
12:20Like, he ain't just trying to get, like, a body count up.
12:23You know what I mean?
12:23You're pretty good at reading people so far.
12:25I'm telling you.
12:26Hey, listen.
12:27I pay attention to these things, man.
12:30All right.
12:30So, you're at Water for the Day Party.
12:32You're at Tangra tonight.
12:34Now, let me ask, if you had to select one record that you knew was going to take the party up to 10, that you was like, I'm about to drop this bitch right.
12:46Bow!
12:46What one joint would that be?
12:49Ooh.
12:50Right now.
12:50Because it changes all the time with DJs.
12:52Right now?
12:53That gets the ladies?
12:54That gets everybody pumped up.
12:55It could be old.
12:56It could be new.
12:57What's that track?
12:57Is it Busted by Erica?
12:58Erica Banks.
12:59Yes.
13:00Busted.
13:01Oh, yeah.
13:01Yeah, right now, the ladies.
13:03They go in.
13:04They drop it like it's hot.
13:05They go in.
13:06Yes.
13:06I like that.
13:07Okay, wait.
13:07We'll come back with Erica Banks on the other side.
13:09Hold on.
13:10All right, y'all are here that go down because she said that's one of the joints to get the ladies moving up in here.
13:14Kim Lee is here.
13:16I'm going to get y'all behind the scenes.
13:18So, we sitting here chopping it up.
13:20And if you went to her IG, you saw her post up on the balcony with the mustard joint on and looking good, all kotoa cutie and everything.
13:29Do y'all know Kevin, who we've been talking about, just hit her in the DM?
13:33I'm like, jeesh.
13:34What'd he say?
13:35He said Jesus.
13:36Jesus.
13:37He's calling Lord.
13:38That man called the Lord and our Savior because of what she had on.
13:42And she acted like he ain't want them guts.
13:45Like, come on.
13:45Come on.
13:47Kevin.
13:48Oh, man.
13:49God, I love him.
13:50I swear he a good home.
13:52I think he deserved something like that.
13:54I'd pick him over Yeezy for you.
13:55I'm saying you got to pick Yeezy.
13:57Yeezy got acres.
13:58Kevin ain't got a block.
14:00Right.
14:01But, but, just saying.
14:03I'm not going to stop lobbying for him, but I'm just saying he did just slide in the deal.
14:06And you ain't hit him back yet, and I feel bad for him.
14:09I've been in here lobbying, and you're like, yo, I hit him with an emoji.
14:12Like, don't do that.
14:13What?
14:13It's better than.
14:14Give him a couple words that's better than an emoji.
14:17Like what?
14:18I'm glad it caught your eye.
14:21Ah!
14:21If you say that, if you say that, let's write him.
14:25No, that's leading him on.
14:26That's not leading him on.
14:27You are glad.
14:28Aren't you glad?
14:28I'm not glad, though.
14:29You're not glad.
14:30At all.
14:31At all.
14:33Okay, fine.
14:34I mean, it's nice.
14:35Okay, all right.
14:36So, say that.
14:36Say, oh, that's nice.
14:38Oh.
14:39Don't say, oh, oh.
14:39You want me to do that right now?
14:40Like, while we're on air?
14:41Like, oh, that's nice?
14:42Write him back right now.
14:43I think, yeah, I think that'd be dope if we wrote him back together.
14:45All right, fine.
14:46Put an eggplant there.
14:47Orlando told me to write an eggplant.
14:51They put an eggplant and be like, I'm glad you noticed.
14:55I'm glad you, are we really doing this?
14:59Yeah, we're doing this right now.
15:00Everybody in Tampa is going to see it.
15:01I'm glad you noticed.
15:02See, there we go.
15:04And you know what that is?
15:04It's a double.
15:05It means that you're glad, but you're also alluding to the fact that he out there in
15:08them streets.
15:10I'm glad you noticed with your busy ass.
15:13That's what it is.
15:15Kim Lee is here.
15:16At Kim Lee, O-I-G.
15:17All right, now.
15:18I'm unsending this.
15:19Don't unsend it.
15:20No.
15:20No.
15:21That's us together.
15:22We're bonding.
15:23All right.
15:24All right.
15:25So be clear.
15:26I wanted to make sure that we talked about Bling Empire, but we also talked about the effect
15:32of this show.
15:33We talked about the fact that you're schooling people on the culture, which is dope, but it
15:37also represents an Asian community that is under attack by a lot of people.
15:42I saw Trevor Noah say that the crime against the Asian community in New York is up 867%
15:51in the state of New York.
15:52Yeah.
15:53When you see that kind of insanity going on in the streets and you have this kind of platform
15:58on Netflix, how does that make you feel while we're going through this with our Asian brothers
16:03and sisters?
16:04It's very heartbreaking what's going on right now.
16:08I mean, like, especially what happened in Atlanta, you know what I mean?
16:12Like, it hits home a lot for all of us.
16:14And my Instagram right now, a lot of people saying, please use your platform to speak up.
16:19And I mean, it's a lot going on already in the world and us, the whole world going through
16:25the pandemic.
16:26And now this is just, I don't know.
16:30I mean, I'm just happy that we're all speaking up now because coming back to the Asian culture
16:35and a lot of people don't know this is, is going back to the culture.
16:40Like we're not right.
16:41A lot of not, not Asian Americans, but Asians like back in Asia where they're not used to
16:47speaking up, like, like oppression is not a new thing.
16:51It's not a new thing.
16:52Yeah.
16:52Like you, you know, you're not supposed to express how you feel, you know, like you hold
16:58it in.
16:59But now that what's going on, I'm just really happy to see that we're all, you know, it's
17:04time we speak up.
17:05I think that, I think that if, when we look at what we went through with everything, the
17:10unrest of the last year with George Floyd and everything else, I think black people were
17:14all about the fact that we knew things were bad.
17:17Yeah.
17:18But the fact that the friends of ours who aren't black are speaking up.
17:21Right.
17:21Made us feel like, oh my God, they finally hear us.
17:24Yeah.
17:25That's the same way that when I've talked to Joe Coya, when I've talked to folks that
17:29are Asian who I love as brothers and as family, I'm like, yo, we need to make sure the same
17:35way we embrace that inclusion.
17:38We need to make sure people know you ain't going to just do something to an Asian friend of
17:42mine and then just walk away.
17:43Right.
17:44Like, you know what I'm saying?
17:45Like, I mean, you know, whether it's stop AAPI.org, that's an organization that you can
17:49support because they have, even in Boston and I think in Philly and I want to say in Oakland,
17:55they have like an escort area where you can, if you are like a senior citizen that they've
18:01been targeting, by the way, then you can, you know, have somebody escort you to the store
18:06or escort somebody who, you know, a citizen that would just go with you just because there's
18:11more power in numbers.
18:12Yeah.
18:12So it's a real thing.
18:13And, you know, I think that, you know, highlighting the fact that you guys are so cultured with
18:21Bling Empire, but also still so dope to be out here DJing and on the cover of FHM and number
18:26one hottest, one of the hottest ladies in Asia, you know what I'm saying?
18:30MTV, we lost your MTV raps.
18:32MTV Asia's still bumping it and she's the host.
18:35Like, you know what I mean?
18:35So, so there's a lot going on that we should be celebrating the same way we celebrate everybody's
18:40culture.
18:41We're, we're, we're accepting a lot as a world.
18:43Yeah.
18:43I mean, we've learned more letters than ever with LGBTQ plus, just X, that, dot, jazz,
18:50with a hyphenated, whatever.
18:52Like we've learned so much and we've learned to include so many people.
18:55I would hate for us to start moving backwards and precluding people from being to the welcome
18:59to the party.
19:00So, so I think it's dope to say that, uh, season two, y'all getting ready?
19:05Yeah, they just announced it.
19:07Um, I mean, I'm just, um, still recharging from like, you know, we just literally aired
19:13like what, six weeks ago back, not too long ago.
19:16And now they just announced, Hey, you know, we're, we're going to get into season two.
19:20So I'm here saying, okay, I guess let's do it.
19:23You want to do it.
19:24You like it, right?
19:25I like it, but it's like, you know, a lot of work.
19:29It is.
19:29Does it fit into everything else?
19:31Like, does it fit well into the rest of your schedule?
19:33Cause you do a lot.
19:34You still shooting a lot too.
19:35Well, that's the thing, you know, but I'm going to make time.
19:37Okay.

19:39So, so, so this, uh, this, we got room for this you and Kevin thing to happen.
