00:00Why was it important for you to be here at this beauty celebration?
00:03I'm in love with music too, you know?
00:05Like a lot of people know me as an actor, and I'm proud of that.
00:08But I've always loved music.
00:10I used to rap when I was in the Bronx growing up and stuff like that,
00:13and I make my own music.
00:14So it's just more so about putting myself in the space
00:17and shaking hands with people.
00:18I'm inspired in that realm, you know?
00:20One thing to go and see Denzhan and be like,
00:22yo, but it's something to see Dolce and be like, yo, what's up?
00:26So it's cool, yeah.
00:27Are we working on a project right now?
00:29Like a music project?
00:32I am. Yes, I am.
00:33I actually have, I can't say much, because it's a good operation going on,
00:37but it's a full album with a great producer who many people know
00:40and on a label that many people know about,
00:44and that's why I'm right here now.
00:45So it's good, it's good, it's good.
00:48How are you feeling about, I don't know if it's even fair to say transition.
00:52You're just an artist who does both.
00:54But, yeah, how are you feeling?
00:55That's fair to say.
00:57I think transition to the world, not so much for me.
00:59But, you know, I still will have to go through the mindset change of,
01:03listen, I can do it, you know, do both, but the work has to be good.
01:07If the work is good, just like that work is good, there won't be any problem.
01:10So that's why I'm real quiet and specific and waiting for the right time.
01:13I won't ask nothing else about it.
01:17No.
01:18That's all you can know.
01:19All right?
01:21I do want to ask you, and that's because we're just learning about Sly Stone and his passing,
01:25and he has meant so much to music.
01:27What should people know about him?
01:29About Sly Stone?
01:30I have to learn.
01:32I don't know if I'm 27 or what it is.
01:34Sly and the Family Stone.
01:36So Sly Stone just passed today.
01:37Okay, yeah.
01:38No, I didn't even hear him.
01:39I'm so sorry.
01:40Yeah, no.
01:40No.
01:41I'm out of whack with that one.
01:42I'm so sorry.
01:43Yeah.
01:43No problems.
01:44Who are you looking forward to and seeing in one of the icon tributes?
01:48Say it again?
01:49We have four icons that are being awarded.
01:51Actually, who has meant most?
01:54Okay.
01:54MC.
01:55You and Liam?
01:55I love Mariah Carey, man.
01:57Yeah, I love Mariah Carey.
01:59I think she's so special.
02:00I think, I don't know, her name is ingrained in not even just the music space,
02:06but in the world space, the pop space, the women's space, the fashion space.
02:11It's not a space she ain't conquered.
02:12And I know everybody else who's honored, they deserve it too,
02:16but that's personal for me.
02:18Yeah.
