GIVĒON thinks he has the nicest group of friends to ever be prank called on “Phoning It In”—and he might be right. In this episode, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter juggles nonstop album praise as he tries to convince The Kid LAROI that he blocked him on Instagram, tells Teddy Swims he wants to record “Are You Even Real?” without him, and asks Damson Idris for forgiveness over a fake diss.

00:00I just got your package that you sent me.
00:02Okay.
00:03You didn't send me a thousand roses?
00:08No, don't you do.
00:10Hi, I'm Givion, and this is Phoning It In with Elle.
00:14How do you think you're going to do today?
00:16You know, I processed this on the way here,
00:18and I think I got a couple concerns addressed already,
00:21so I think I'll be fine.
00:22Let me see.
00:24Okay.
00:25I'm going to call Killer Roar and try to convince him
00:27that he blocked me on Instagram.
00:29I don't even think we follow each other.
00:31He's going to be like...
00:32It's actually going to be so funny.
00:37Yo.
00:38What's up, bro?
00:39What's up, bro?
00:40How you doing?
00:41I'm chilling, bro.
00:42I was just in my hotel.
00:44I was about to go look at your ground just to see the fits,
00:46but it says that you blocked me.
00:48What?
00:49Yeah, I'm looking right now.
00:50It says no post available.
00:51Are you playing a joke over as a fit?
00:53No, I was just trying to see if I did something.
00:55What?
00:56I didn't block you.
00:57I'm looking at it right now.
00:58They blocked you.
00:59I mean, there's no chance.
01:00No, because I was just like, damn.
01:01I was just texting him.
01:02I thought I did something wrong.
01:03All right.
01:04Stop it.
01:05It says stop it.
01:06All right.
01:07Fuck.
01:08Oh, fuck.
01:09I'm doing this spawning it in with Elle.
01:11I'm horrible at this shit.
01:12Oh, that's hilarious, bro.
01:13Yeah, I was like, what the fuck?
01:14I didn't block you.
01:15No chance.
01:16You too smart, bro.
01:17You way too smart.
01:18All right, buddy.
01:19Bye, peace.
01:20Bro, because it's so out of character for me, too, to call people and say stuff, and they
01:33would be like, what are you talking about?
01:35You know who's going to answer?
01:36My mom.
01:37And I know which one to say to her.
01:38I'm going to call my mom and tell her I accidentally joined a cult.
01:42Give me a...
01:43Uh, mama.
01:44What's up, baby?
01:45I messed up.
01:46With what?
01:47So, in London, I was just, I thought I was signing up for just like this meditation retreat,
01:48right?
01:49Mm-hmm.
01:50I should have known it was weird when I was signing paperwork and like giving them my phone
02:03and giving them everything.
02:04I have my phone now, but I'm still here.
02:06So, I was doing it for like two days because, you know, I just dropped my album, so I wanted
02:10to relax, right?
02:11It's pretty much like a cult.
02:13Like, I'm not allowed to leave.
02:15What?
02:16Are you serious?
02:18Yeah, so I'm stuck in London for 30 days, and I can't leave this building.
02:23No way.
02:24Yeah, I don't know what to do.
02:25I'm here sneaking.
02:26They took my phone, but I'm in a basement.
02:29Please tell me you've been so with me.
02:31Please.
02:32Where are you?
02:33I'm driving.
02:34I'm about to pull over.
02:36Are you kidding me?
02:37Is this real?
02:38Like, please tell me you're joking.
02:40Okay, I'm joking.
02:41I can't do it.
02:42I'm doing a phoning it in where we're pranking, but I just can't do it.
02:45Because I can hear it and feel you.
02:47You should know I'm not the one.
02:48Oh, my goodness.
02:49Especially if it's like that, messing with my son.
02:51I'm about to pull over, because I've got to have a fit real quick.
02:55You know what I'm saying?
02:57Okay, well, it's fake.
02:59Good one.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Yay.
03:02You may be lucky.
03:03You'll see you later.
03:04Stressed.
03:06I knew she would be devastated at that.
03:09She's like, you for real, dude?
03:11I can't handle this right now.
03:13I was like, ooh.
03:14This is probably not the right time.
03:16No, my goodness.
03:18I'm going to call Teddy Swims and tell him I'm going to do my own version of Are You Even
03:23Real without him, because I think it would be a bigger hit.
03:26What's up, baby?
03:30You just ball of energy, aren't you?
03:33I'm in the gym.
03:34I ain't getting punked, so I don't know.
03:36I wanted to run something by you.
03:38Okay.
03:39How would you feel if I did my own version of Are We Even Real just by myself and released
03:44it?
03:45I'll be honored, man.
03:47Like, no you at all.
03:50Okay.
03:51I'm okay with that.
03:52Just me.
03:53Just go for it, bro.
03:55No, bro.
03:56Nah, this ain't working.
03:57I'm trying to pre-call you for this thing I'm doing, but you're just such a good guy.
04:01It's all right, bro.
04:02Fuck, man.
04:03I want us to win, bro.
04:04I want to win.
04:05I want to win.
04:06Yo, you the best guy ever.
04:08I swear.
04:09I'm sorry.
04:10No.
04:12Okay, well, it didn't work, but I would never take your voice off.
04:15That's all.
04:16All right.
04:17I love you, bro.
04:19I love you so much, man.
04:20Sorry I ruined your frame.
04:22All right.
04:23I'll talk to you soon, bro.
04:24All right, baby.
04:25All right, bye.
04:26What can I say?
04:27Nice.
04:28I'm telling you, he's the nicest guy ever.
04:31I like this one.
04:33I'm going to call Damson Aegis and tell him I dissed him in an interview.
04:39Yo?
04:40What's up, bro?
04:41You're in LA?
04:42Yeah, I'm here, bro.
04:43Oh, okay.
04:44Nah, so I was doing this interview and they messed around, twist my words up.
04:49So if you see a headline of me dissing you, it wasn't me, man.
04:53They, you know how they be.
04:55You know what I mean?
04:56What?
04:57Something about you not even good looking for real or something like that.
05:00You know, but they moved there around.
05:02Oh, yeah, that was real good.
05:04Listen, the fucking album, bro, it's been on repeat, man.
05:07You like it?
05:08Like, oh, I mean, you are hella bad.
05:10I mean, you got hella bangers, man.
05:12When are you going on tour?
05:13I'm trying to prank on you right now.
05:16You just showing me so much love.
05:18Why would I be upset about that?
05:20I tried to make you be like, what the hell?
05:23And you just cool as hell.
05:24See, that's why you know you're really my brother.
05:26There's nothing you could do.
05:27All right, I'll talk to you soon, bro.
05:29Bro, love.
05:30Congrats again.
05:35I'm trying to see if it's, who else should I call?
05:37Let me try Daniel Kaluuya and tell him thank you for that 1,000 roses that he never actually sent.
05:42But I don't know where he is because he bounces from L.A. to London, too, but let's see.
05:46What's up, my bro?
05:47How you doing, bro?
05:48How you doing?
05:49How are you?
05:50I'm good, man.
05:51I'm in New York, but I just got your package that you sent me.
05:53Okay.
05:54It says roses here.
05:55Congratulations on the new album.
05:56Daniel.
05:57You didn't send me 1,000 roses?
05:59No!
06:00No!
06:01It says roses here.
06:02Congratulations on the new album.
06:03Daniel, you didn't send me 1,000 roses?
06:07No!
06:08It saysенная and what the fucking are you talking about?
06:14What the fuck?!
06:15No, yeah, wait.
06:17That's not you?
06:18No!
06:19What?
06:20Bro, what are you talking about?
06:22No, no, no, no.
06:23No, no, no.
06:24What are you talking about?
06:26Wait, let me...
06:271,000 roses.
06:28How many did you send?
06:29Bro, I don't know how you counted this, bro.
06:31How you counted the roses, bro?
06:33If you sat there and counted it before one of you,
06:35now you're telling me, bro.
06:36No.
06:37I was just eyeballing it.
06:38I'm not sending you 1,000 roses, 100 roses,
06:40but congratulations on your album.
06:42Oh, damn.
06:43Who sent this?
06:45Nah, wait, wait, wait.
06:47I'm not sending you 1,000 roses, 100 roses,
06:49but congratulations on your album.
06:51Oh, damn.
06:52Who sent this?
06:54Nah, wait, wait, wait.
06:57Yeah, it's a prank call.
06:59I'm on the show with Elle.
07:00He thought I lost it.
07:02I was like, oh, shit.
07:04We've lost it, bro.
07:05Lost it.
07:06All right, cool.
07:07All right, big up.
07:08Big up.
07:09Congrats on the album, though.
07:10Thank you, bro.
07:11Bye-bye.
07:12All right, cool.
07:16He started dying laughing.
07:18He was like, yo, he lost his mind.
07:21I'm not sure exactly how many of these you guys have done,
07:24but I think I probably have the nicest group of friends
07:27out of everyone that's called, but my mom was pretty upset,
07:30and I'm probably going to hear about this after, though.
07:32Thanks for watching.
07:33My new album, Beloved, is out now.
