00:00You said Doja Cat's not a rapper.
00:01For what?
00:03No, but you had said that.
00:04And I don't want to regurg...
00:05I mean, you said what you said.
00:06I said what I said.
00:07You said what you said.
00:08You ain't be on backtrack.
00:10But when I said that, I thought I was like giving a compliment.
00:14Like, I didn't say it like...
00:15Because she was like a pop star?
00:16No, I just felt like that she was more than a rapper because she sings and she dances.
00:21Like, I feel like certain people, like, they fall into other categories.
00:26And everybody was so offended.
00:28And then once everybody got offended, they started talking.
00:30And I'm like, no, I don't give a s***.
00:31Like, I don't care.
00:32Like, I don't even think about it.
00:34Like, I was asked a question.
00:35I was on Drink Champs.
00:36And that's what they said.
00:37So that's what happened.
00:38But it was really meant as a compliment.
00:41But a lot of times what happens, especially when it comes to us females, the fan bases
00:46and the people that they say things and they, like, twist things around and make it a thing,
00:52a thing.
00:53And...
00:53Well, our rappers seem to be, like, the most territorial over their genre, though.
00:58Because I feel like even, like, when the whole Grammy thing with Lotto and them went down
01:03on social media, it was like, do you really care where you're classified?
01:06Or is that more about making sure people know where your category is or what?
01:11Like, I feel like it's...
01:11I don't know.
01:12You have to bring the people that was involved in that and ask them.
01:16Okay.
01:16Why are hip-hop...
01:19I don't know.
01:20I don't think they ain't go gunning.
01:21I don't know.
01:22My Grammy...
01:22The first Grammy I was nominated for with Lean Back in the rap category, we lost to
01:27the Black Eyed Peas.
01:28That's crazy.
01:29Okay.
01:29So that's the issue.
01:30And the second time when we were in the rap category, we were nominated twice for All
01:36the Way Up, and it went to, I think, Chance the Rapper for the, you don't want a problem
01:41with me, or however...
01:42So it's the rap that gets acknowledged as raps with, like, the tunes, the pop tunes,
01:47or the crossover appeal?
01:49Well, it seems like it's changing because, you know, Cardi has a Grammy, Meg has a Grammy,
01:54you know, Nas finally got his Grammy, so I feel like somebody over there...
01:58But what people don't understand the way...
01:59It's a voting system.
02:00It's not really what it seems to me, the way it was explained to me, because once you get
02:06nominated, you're part of the committee.
02:07You can vote, but a lot of times when it seems like whoever is signed to the label with the
02:13most people that are on the board, that's who usually wins.
