00:00I'm really excited for this tour.
00:03And also, this is going to be the first time
00:05that the House of Aja reprises are connecting up
00:09for appearances together.
00:11But Glasgow, honestly, that was a hot, stinky,
00:15doo-doo fucking mess.
00:17I'm at this point where I'm just like,
00:19I'm ready to cancel the tour.
00:20I just can't do this no more.
00:23What happens when the queen is asked to film herself on tour?
00:27Oh, no.
00:28Whoa!
00:30Well, baby, tonight, you can find out.
00:34This is Aja, and welcome to my Untucked Life.
00:52Lord Jesus, we are at this rehearsal,
00:55and Tsunami is upset because she feels like if we post too much,
00:58people are not going to want to buy tickets because they're going to feel like they saw the whole show on social media.
01:02Y'all need to understand.
01:03We're also not posting just the people on this tour.
01:05We're posting them.
01:06We can sell this tour everywhere.
01:08That's true.
01:09This is not just this tour.
01:10To be honest with you, I wouldn't even necessarily call this a fight.
01:15I've been doing this for five motherfuckers years.
01:16I'm not done. I know the fuck I'm talking about.
01:18But at the end of the day, I do feel and understand what Kandy is saying.
01:22And I do think Kandy does have a lot more experience with, you know, being a bigger person on social media.
01:29How many tours have you been on?
01:31How many tours have you been on?
01:32I really did.
01:33I said what I said.
01:35If we want to boost more ticket sales, we should be posting little clips,
01:39especially like something that's going to get people to want to come.
01:42It's about, does South America want us? Does Australia want us? Does Asia want us?
01:49That's how you sell a fucking tour, huh?
01:50Kandy is speaking some sense into the air.
01:53I got to admit, my daughter's right. She's right.
01:55You know, just cleaning up the, why are you chasing me?
02:04We are currently in Birmingham, England, and baby, we're in the hotel.
02:09As you can see, it's looking crazy.
02:12I have a lot to do today.
02:13We are currently on the House of Aja tour, and we're off to London.
02:18Baby, at this time, we've already had like four or five shows.
02:21Birmingham was the best show we had so far, but you know, no shade.
02:25There wasn't that much to live up to because the first couple shows were a little shaky.
02:30They were a little weak in the bones.
02:33It's like eight o'clock in the morning.
02:34I'm going to have to land, teach a class, make my way over, get ready, get up in drags for meet and greet.
02:40And then I'm going to have to do the show.
02:43And it's our biggest show on the tour.
02:46So, um, wish me luck because I may not survive.
02:50And if I do, I guess I'll live to tell the tale, right?
02:55Wake it up.
02:56Well, here we are downstairs.
03:00It's almost 920.
03:02And the car was supposed to be here at nine o'clock.
03:04We're supposed to leave.
03:05It's a three and a half hour drive to London.
03:08There may be traffic.
03:09I have to teach at one.
03:11So, you know, it's a reflection of me if I show up late.
03:15And this is how I'm making side money on this tour because we are not getting paid per city
03:21because we're splitting ticket sales.
03:23Girl, this tour is just so fucking stressful because every time there is something that gets
03:29done and we finally get out the drama, we finally get out the moment.
03:33It just seems like something else pops up.
03:35I just don't understand why is it so hard to be on time.
03:39Well, I don't understand why tell us to be here in the lobby at 9 a.m.
03:44It's 20 past 9 and you're not here.
03:48Sometimes it's just too much.
03:51It's exhausting.
03:51I'm like, yo, I got to show up to work.
03:55Right.
03:55Why everyone else don't have to show up to work?
03:57No shave.
03:58After last night's show, I wanted to stay asleep.
04:01Bitch.
04:01I wanted to stay asleep.
04:02I opened my eyes this morning and I felt like a demon had entered my body.
04:06I was dead.
04:07I got up, shower, shaved.
04:09Let me just get ready for the day.
04:11London is about to be our biggest show.
04:13We've had three venues that have been like sit down venues.
04:17I am sit down venues.
04:19But the crowds have been good.
04:20The House of Aja show is supposed to be like almost like a TV show.
04:25I'm very inspired by things like anime and the way it's mapped out is that we're going from city to city
04:31and we are receiving everything that is boring, basic and uninspired.
04:37I think that's just the point of like our show isn't like a theater comedy show like sit there.
04:41No.
04:41Yeah.
04:41We're doing like an immersive sort of like storytelling show that I think would fit better for like a
04:47concert venue where you know people are just really rowdy because we feed off of energy.
04:52We're kind of like little tinkerbells.
04:53No.
04:54So like we need the applause or else we will quite literally die on stage in front of everyone.
04:59But Leeds and Birmingham took a cake.
05:03Birmingham was top notch.
05:04Well, Birmingham.
05:05Our best show this whole tour.
05:06Birmingham was carrying because we told them that Leeds was talking about them.
05:10Oh yeah.
05:11Was they?
05:12They were.
05:12Oh.
05:13They were.
05:13Oh, you know, I know they weren't.
05:14We made that up.
05:15But.
05:15I was about to say, we're down tonight in London.
05:17So now we're going to be in London talking about London.
05:20Cardiff was talking mass shit about.
05:21So it was Birmingham and Leeds.
05:22Birmingham Cardiff and all the cities we've been to been talking mass shit about y'all.
05:25They said that y'all was going to be quiet and dead.
05:27Are y'all too good for us?
05:30And it's a bigger venue.
05:31It's a, I believe it's a concert venue.
05:33A concert hall.
05:34So everyone's standing.
05:35It's going to be lit.
05:36I forgot I got breakfast burritos.
05:39Well.
05:39Bitch, they had come breakfast over there.
05:41We'll see y'all when the van gets here, if it ever does.
05:44It's fully now at this point.
05:46I'm literally about to like take the elevator to the roof and jump off.
05:51The tour bus, AKA the van, finally showed up.
05:57We're here after waiting, you know, just 30 minutes on five.
06:01But it's okay.
06:02We have our lovely crew and we have the house of Aja ready.
06:06We are on tour.
06:07We have Candace musical, Daliana Sintra, and we have Zunami Nani.
06:12Zunami had Little Caesars delivered to the van because she said she was hungry.
06:20Why is she eating garlic bread at nine o'clock in the morning?
06:25Why not?
06:25I need a car.
06:28Maybe.
06:29We was in the car for not 20 minutes and Dalio was trying to say she was going to throw me out the window.
06:35Another recap.
06:36The morning recap.
06:36It really was.
06:38It started off with her saying that she don't like party song and I said she would hate him.
06:42So then she said, I'm going to throw your skinny ass, fat ass out the window.
06:47And I said, girl, what?
06:51The yucky that you use, I'm going to throw your skinny ass, fat ass out the window.
06:55I had three shots of espresso.
06:58My boyfriend is also here with us.
07:00Hi, Marlon.
07:01He is stressed.
07:02I think he has the hardest job here, to be honest with you.
07:05Dealing with you.
07:08What?
07:08Dealing with you.
07:09Do you think that dealing with me is the hardest job?
07:11Well, yeah.
07:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:16So everyone's kind of getting along.
07:18When I say kind of, I mean like literally sort of kind of.
07:21It's not giving like yes, but it's not giving no.
07:25Oh, dealing with all you bitches, especially you.
07:32Now that's a task.
07:33Have you seen a pony?
07:35No, I don't see that pony.
07:36That's a rat tail, girl.
07:37A girl.
07:38But it's a tail.
07:40Look, I don't condone hitting your kids.
07:42But I'm about to get up and whoop Dolly your ass in a second.
07:44Because she's just doing too much for me.
07:45We have about two more hours on this van.
07:48And maybe, just maybe, things will get better.
07:51Maybe they won't.
07:55We shall see.
07:55Well, if we can get early check-in, you can get ready at night, really, if you want it.
08:05Right now, just go get food.
08:06I just didn't know we didn't have access to the venue until 3 p.m.
08:13But we have to go on tech.
08:14And we're forced to have access to the venue.
08:15Girl.
08:18Well, it's Chronicles of Narnia.
08:22Load the gargoyle.
08:23Girl.
08:25What if they just zoom away?
08:27We should probably get a car to the class before I'm late, right?
08:31Yeah.
08:32Now you're going to come with me to teach a runway invoking class.
08:37While the drama has already ensued, halfway into my ride to the studio, and I'm realizing that
08:44I completely forgot to bring heels, and I have to teach runway, so...
08:54This is going to be embarrassing, and it's also going to look bad, but...
09:00What can I do?
09:02We're here at the One Thing Studios in London.
09:07Am I not right in the street?
09:08I'm not attacking you.
09:09No.
09:10Am I not right in the street?
09:12Okay.
09:12Well...
09:18I don't know what's happening.
09:18Mm-mm-mm.
09:19Are you not right in the street?
09:23Five, six, five, six, all Americans.
09:28Faster.
09:30I'm at a voguing class that is taught by me.
09:33You definitely will be learning performance.
09:35You'll be learning all five elements, and you'll be learning antics and personality.
09:40Five, six, five, six, seven, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven, one, two, three, eight...
09:49The five elements of Vogue are hand performance, spins and dips, which is one element on its own,
09:55duck walk, catwalk, and floor performance.
09:59I feel like a lot of people try to teach Vogue, and they teach it as just the choreography and nothing more.
10:06I feel like Vogue is so layered, and you have to sort of understand the history and understand what it is you're doing.
10:24Well, I'm here at my House of Baja show in London, getting ready for the gig.
10:31Well, we're kind of mid-show.
10:32I'm not gonna lie.
10:32We got here, and there was like food, uh, painting, and getting ready.
10:37And since then, there have been no breathers.
10:41To teach a class and then immediately go get ready and go to a meet and greet,
10:46it's very exhausting, but I'm just a hustler.
10:49So, like, I just go, I chase the bag.
10:51Tsunami's on now.
10:54She said, Dahlia's next, and then it's me.
10:56Dahlia's next, and then it's me.
11:01London!
11:07That's right!
11:08Keep me going for the House of Baja!
11:13The show in London was amazing.
11:17I'm not gonna lie, y'all.
11:18I cried on stage, uh, just talking about the show.
11:22We just put so much hard work and dedication into making this work.
11:26And, you know, along the way, there has been a lot of bullshit.
11:31People have been posting about us online, talking shit about us.
11:34It's been really tough.
11:35So, to have this night go so well, we had close to 500 people in attendance.
11:40And, you know, these people came out to see the House of Baja, something that I created.
11:45So, it's kind of like, I don't know, that makes me feel very special.
11:52We are in Manchester.
11:54We're taking a train to London because we're meeting with the producer, KZ A,
12:00who's responsible for one of our favorite songs, Just Stay featuring Tinashe.
12:05And we're gonna potentially make a House of Aja X KDA song today.
12:11So, I'm here with Tsunami, Candice Musical, and with Daddy-O behind the camera.
12:19And, um, yeah, this is gonna be a crazy day.
12:23I feel awful.
12:24I taught a five-hour Vogue class yesterday.
12:26Let me tell you something.
12:27It actually was supposed to be an hour and a half of Runway and an hour and a half of Vogue.
12:33But the girls needed to learn the elements and somebody needed to teach it to them.
12:38So, I stood a little bit longer.
12:41I wanted to make sure that they really got through with the choreography at the end
12:46and made sure that everyone had fun.
12:48And I was very proud of them.
12:50Which is probably not smart after four consecutive days of the city tour, city tour, city tour, city tour.
12:57Honestly, I'd rather have done the gnarly dance in my sleep another hundred times.
13:03Girl, wish us luck.
13:06I don't give a damn, caught in such a vibe, taking me so high, high, high.
13:16I don't give a damn, caught in such a vibe, taking me so high, high, high.
13:24I like how it's getting raspier and raspier.
13:29I am thinking it's a nice time.
13:31Yeah, it's nice.
13:32It's gonna, it's gonna...
13:33It was slot nicely into the weed.
13:36The weed?
13:37The weed.
13:37What are you talking about?
13:38Not that I'm...
13:39Call my hair off.
13:40Not that I'm playing.
13:40Saying I have a fucking weave, bitch.
13:44Just saying I see you, bitch.
13:45So the girls and I are working on this song with KDA.
13:49And baby, KDA is a little crazy dead ass.
13:54That's what his name should stand for.
13:55KDA, crazy dead ass.
13:57Because I thought, oh my God, this man is absolutely psychotic.
14:01Like, I just know he drinks matcha.
14:03Why am I just rolling around in the middle of London on some DJ's floor?
14:09Why am I like this?
14:11Girl, I don't know what the name of this song is.
14:13I'm about to call it, um...
14:19Wait, it came to me in my mind, but it's in Spanish.
14:21Why do I think that something's wrong with me nonstop?
14:25I'm so weird.
14:26Why do I like it?
14:27Why do I like it?
14:30It's The Roaches.
14:34Wait.
14:38The Roaches.
14:41Okay.
14:42Be serious, bitch.
14:43Be fucking serious.
14:51It's supposed to be called The Roaches Are Crying.
14:56Which would be
14:57I do like the direction that we're going in, and I can't wait to hear the final song, even though I'm not
15:23super excited to hear how it's going to sound just right away.
15:26I think the session itself was great, but we were all over the place.
15:32There needs to be a second session.
15:34I love it.
15:35It was so stupid.
15:37It's so, yeah, it's so, like, it's, did I survive?
15:42It's so extra.
15:43It's like, I don't give a damn.
15:45I don't give a damn.
15:45I don't give a damn.
15:46I don't give a damn.
15:47Oh, wait, that's an A.
15:49Don't say.
15:51Well, we just got done recording with KDA.
15:54Um, I'm alive, but I want cloth.
15:56Candace from school.
15:57I'm still alive, but I barely breathe.
15:59Oh, you keep that so bad.
16:00I don't give a damn.
16:02I don't give a damn.
16:05You're a fucking.
16:08Damn.
16:10Well.
16:12Yes.
16:13Girl.
16:14Now what to do?
16:15Uh, three more stops on our House of Baja tour.
16:18Girl, let's wrap this shit up, honey.
16:20As we're approaching the end of the tour, I'm just feeling very
16:25ecstatic about how we actually got to complete this.
16:27It's been a struggle.
16:28Zunami being in Panama, the girls and I being busy.
16:32It's been really hard.
16:33So for us to overcome all of our differences and come together
16:37and as a loving family should, it's just magical.
16:43I feel like I'm so happy we got to have this experience.
16:47And just like that, still no voice.
16:53I'm back at the train station in London and about to keep going on.
17:00I'm doing the same shit I've been doing this whole time.
17:02The House of Aja will be in Australia for our tour.
17:06We will be attending in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne.
17:11So go and get those tickets at ITDEvents.com.
17:17And yes, I had to plug, uh, because you never know.
17:21Maybe you'll be seeing more of the House of Aja more than you think.
17:25Maybe you'll see us very soon.
17:29Maybe you'll see us on the screen.
17:31Stay tuned.
17:32Thank you for coming to my untucked life.
