00:00Hey, girl!

00:02You look amazing.

00:04Sorry, I wasn't trying to skip you.

00:05I was trying to surprise my daughter.

00:07Hi, baby!

00:09Hi!

00:10I just asked Chase.

00:11I'm like, who is the woman in Hollywood you've been leaning on,

00:14especially on such a whirlwind year?

00:16And she said, you've been holding it down for her.

00:17That is my baby girl.

00:19Yeah.

00:20You see, I ain't seen nothing else when I seen her.

00:21I was like, ah!

00:22You did.

00:23I know.

00:24But now I heard she say, Grammy nomination.

00:25I said, oh, are you really?

00:26Oh, hey.

00:27Congratulations.

00:28Grammy nominated for the first time, which is wild.

00:31But I know how much that meant to you.

00:33Yeah.

00:34Have you been able to soak it in?

00:35And how are you feeling now?

00:36Honestly, I think I'm processing, you know?

00:38Because it's like everything happening at one time.

00:41Right.

00:42And all I can say is, Father God, in the name of Jesus, I thank you

00:45and I praise you.

00:46You know what I'm saying?

00:47I'm filled with so much gratitude.

00:49Right.

00:50You know what I'm saying?

00:51And I'm so grateful.

00:52Yeah.

00:53You know what I'm saying?

00:54I'm just really trying to pace myself to say, this is really happening.

00:56Because I think sometimes when we work so hard and we go through so much and a lot of

01:01disappointments and happiness and sadness, you almost feel like, am I even worthy?

01:06It's like, is this really?

01:07This is mine?

01:08This nomination is mine?

01:10What happened?

01:11I remember when Beyonce won the album of the year and she was like.

01:14Cowboy Carter was like, what?

01:16Even Beyonce can't believe it sometimes.

01:18Yeah.

01:19You know what I'm saying?

01:20But that right there also shows like, that shit is real.

01:23You know what I'm saying?

01:24And in the moment, it might be a meme.

01:26But then it's like, when you're in that position to be like.

01:28It's a real human moment.

01:29It's like, that's a real human moment.

01:31And I swear to God, I'm like, I just, I didn't expect it.

01:34You know what I'm saying?

01:35Like, I kind of got numb to, to just like, expecting anything, you know, with what I give.

01:43You know what I'm saying?

01:44My job is to do my part and not worry about, like, everybody else doing their part.

01:48You know what I'm saying?

01:49You do it so well, but it's probably so nice to get a little pat on the back from your peers.

01:53Exactly.

01:54And it's not that I'm looking for a gold star or a gold trophy or anything.

01:56You know, it's to your point.

01:58It's just like, it feels good to be acknowledged for all the hard work that you put in, you know?

02:02And especially just 20 years in the industry of pouring into others.

02:06Right.

02:07You know what I'm saying?

02:08It feels good to be seen.

02:09Aren't you glad you didn't give up?

02:10I remember Janet being like, don't you quit, don't retire.

02:13I remember that.

02:14But you know what's crazy?

02:15Sometimes it's not even about giving up.

02:17It's just about shaking the table a little bit and understanding that you can walk away

02:20from things that are not serving you.

02:22You get what I'm saying?

02:23And when you're ready to go back, you can go back.

02:25And I think at that time, I walked away from something that wasn't serving me.

02:29And I blossomed something new.

02:32You feel what I'm saying?

02:33Like, I wouldn't be here if I didn't take that faith walk.

02:35If I didn't take that leap of faith, we probably wouldn't even be here.

02:38If Ryan didn't take a leap of faith on you guys for all's fair, you wouldn't have a hit on your hands.

02:42I feel like y'all are having the last laugh when it comes to those critics, don't you think?

02:45Oh, my God.

02:46Honestly, my sisters, I mean, it's a hit.

02:50The viewership is insane.

02:52The sisterhood that we gained from this is insane.

02:56Talk about women in Hollywood.

02:57We love one another.

02:58And it's just everything.

03:01You know what I'm saying?

03:02It's everything to go to work with people that you actually like.

03:05I think it's you, because I've seen it with one battle after another, too.

03:08You have these people who you work with who don't want to leave your side now.

03:10They're going to walk with you to the Grammys.

03:12You feel me?

03:13Honestly, like, every single female that I've worked with has just been, like, the way they love on me.

03:17And vice versa.

03:18You know what I'm saying?

03:19It's like just pouring in.

03:20And it's an energy.

03:22That's what I'm saying.

03:23Like, when you build that sisterhood, it's an energy.

03:24And you're building that community.

03:25I love your energy.

03:26Have fun tonight.

03:27Congratulations.

03:28Bye.

03:29Bye.
