Victoria Monét knows how to hold a note—and apparently, her tongue. In this episode of “Thirst Trap,” the author and Grammy-winning artist takes on ten questions and ten mystery shots. As she opens up about the 'On My Mama' remix, Victoria reveals the real reason she skipped the BET Awards and explains why one of her own collabs is now suspended until further notice. From calling out the celeb who needs to fire their stylist to shouting out the most childish co-star she’s ever worked with (technically), Victoria proves she can keep it classy.

00:00Okay, one of the following collaborations has to go.

00:02Tell us which and why.

00:04Hmm.

00:06What's up, you guys?

00:07I am Victoria Monet.

00:09Oh, may I have a chaser?

00:11And I'm here to pour it on up with Elle on Thirst Trap.

00:15I've got 10 questions and 10 shots.

00:18I can answer each question honestly or take a shot.

00:21So how do you think you're going to do it?

00:22Terrible.

00:24Terribly, because it's a lose-lose.

00:27Like either I answer something crazy or I drink something crazy.

00:31Like here we have the blood of Christ, potentially.

00:39First question.

00:40Tell us about a time when you lied in an interview.

00:45I feel like I've told the truth in a lot of my interviews.

00:48Well, there was this one time.

00:52So I did say I was going to the BET Awards,

00:55but I already knew I was not going

00:56because I didn't really like my outfit.

01:01So, and I knew Sizzle was going to win.

01:03So I was like, do I let them film me lose?

01:07No, I'll just watch from home and go to the after parties.

01:10I love BET, and that's not a lie.

01:12And I would love to perform and like be on the carpet

01:16in something I adore next time.

01:17name a celebrity who needs to fire, aw, come on.

01:24Who needs to fire their stylist?

01:27Jojo Siwa

01:31Love you so much.

01:32Love the rainbows.

01:34But you've got, you've got to let him or her, they go.

01:38You've got to let him or her, they go.

01:48What's a moment in your career where you felt snubbed?

01:52Damn it.

01:54I'm gonna just go ahead and, I hope this is water.

02:02Oh.

02:03That's like coconut water or something, right?

02:08And alcohol.

02:10Coconut water and a rum.

02:11Yeah, all right.

02:19Ooh, that is a cheap alcohol.

02:24Yeah, like, fuck.

02:27All right.

02:27You wrote a children's book called Everywhere You Are.

02:29Who's the most childish celebrity you've ever worked with?

02:32Ugh.

02:34Hmm.

02:35Hazel?

02:47Ooh, that's pickle juice.

02:49That is something in there.

02:51I hope I can answer this.

02:53Name one artist you turned down a collaboration with.

02:59I really don't want to drink that pickle juice.

03:01I'm sure it was someone on my Instagram

03:04who sent their idea via SoundCloud.

03:08And they technically are artists, so.

03:13People ask for money via DMs.

03:15People propose.

03:16There's really no lack of entertainment in there, so.

03:19Is there anybody you're dying to work with?

03:21I really want to work with Beyonce, or Sade, or Janet.

03:25There's a lot of people I'd love to work with.

03:27Jojo Siwa.

03:37Definitely like cherry or cranberry or grape.

03:40Who's a famous person you faked being nice to?

03:45I don't...

03:46I have no enemies.

03:49I don't...

03:49I don't know.

03:53Mmm.

03:55Preservatives.

03:56Mmm.

03:59Oh!

04:03That was tart cherry juice and soy sauce.

04:05Oh!

04:06Oh!

04:07Sorry.

04:08Sorry.

04:11May I have a chaser?

04:12Yeah.

04:13You said on the Rap Radar podcast that you were, quote,

04:26trying to manifest an All My Mama remix with Meg Thee Stallion.

04:30What really happened with the remix?

04:33Really?

04:34What really happened was I wasn't poppin',

04:37and, like, all the people I sent the song to said no.

04:41Wait, really?

04:43Yeah.

04:44What?

04:45Can you share who you said it was?

04:47Woo!

04:48Lots of people!

04:51And they were like, nah.

04:53Try again, sister.

04:54So I decided to do the second verse myself,

04:58which I hated for the first three months of it.

05:01And I was like, you know what?

05:02Fuck it.

05:03Let's just put it out.

05:05People really liked it, so it was meant to be.

05:07So thank you for saying no.

05:11It better be a Negroni.

05:18Oh!

05:19This is definitely apple cider vinegar,

05:21and that is disgusting.

05:24Name a hit song that you think gets too much credit.

05:28A hit song.

05:32Baby Shark?

05:34Way too much credit.

05:37Maybe there's, I'm hoping for, like, coffee oat milk creamer.

05:50That's not oat milk creamer.

05:52I'll just answer this.

05:55Oh.

05:56What's one job you took strictly for the check?

05:59Hmm.

06:00Hmm.

06:01Hmm.

06:02Hmm.

06:03Hmm.

06:04Hmm.

06:05Hmm.

06:06I used to work at a bank.

06:08I definitely didn't enjoy counting other people's cash,

06:14but needed the bag.

06:17So, yeah.

06:18I took that job.

06:19Shout out to Golden One.

06:21Oh.

06:22Oh, this looks, it's not even mixed.

06:28It's separating at the core.

06:31Hmm.

06:36Are there carrots in here?

06:38No.

06:39No carrots.

06:41Hmm.

06:44Okay, one of the following collaborations has to go.

06:50Tell us which and why.

06:52Spin with Meg Thee Stallion.

06:54Touch Me Remix featuring Kehlani.

06:56Experience featuring Khalid and S.G. Lewis.

06:59Um, hmm.

07:04Hmm.

07:05Hmm.

07:06Hmm.

07:07Hmm.

07:08Hmm.

07:09I'm not drinking that.

07:10You know what?

07:11I'm gonna say, Spin with Meg Thee Stallion has to be on layaway

07:18and suspended until we make a video, because there has to be a video.

07:22I feel like it didn't get its due diligence, because there's no visual.

07:26So let's suspend it till further notice.

07:29Tag Meg.

07:31Thank you guys so much for watching me on Thirst Trap.

07:33Make sure you purchase my book Everywhere You Are

07:35which is out right now or you have to take a shot.

07:56I'll see you next time.
