00:00Power is very much known for their steamy love scenes.
00:04Is that something that you're open to?
00:05Or can we expect like a Monet steamy love scene in the new season?
00:13Boy, be very careful.
00:16I can already imagine the memes of I'm a savage mixed with Monet footage.
00:22What was it like playing a queen pin like that?
00:26Yeah, it's amazing.
00:27It's so empowering.
00:28It's the strength of a woman.
00:30It's every woman we know is a Monet.
00:32Not every woman, but most single parent mothers trying to raise their children, trying to survive,
00:37trying to figure out a way to exist in a male-dominated world, male-dominated business.
00:42I jumped at the chance because I grew up with Monets.
00:45Most of the women I hung out with when I was a teenager were Monet.
00:48So it's like, why not do this?
00:51I am a Monet.
00:52I'm a survivor, you know?
00:55You know we love you at Essence Fest.
00:57She's always been such a staple there.
00:59And your performances, whether you perform the song for the first time or the millionth time,
01:04you just have a way to bring the audience that emotion that we always love from a Mary J. Blige performance.
01:10You've been doing so many acting roles.
01:13Have you borrowed from your performance style and how you translate that into your acting roles?
01:21Yeah, I mean, it takes a lot of confidence to be in front of 70,000 people.
01:28So you can't be up there shy and caring about what anyone thinks.
01:33All you got to care about is the love that people are sending you and you send it back and that's all that matters.
01:37So, of course, I translated that into Cha-Cha from Umbrella Academy.
01:43I actually translated that into Monet.
01:45A, you just got to boss up and own whatever you put out there.
01:50I love that.
01:51So, we can't see you and Method Man on the same show without thinking of that classic song,
01:57You're All I Need, that we all love.
02:01What was it like reuniting with Method Man?
02:03I mean, it's always nice.
02:05It's so refreshing to see Method Man because he's just a beautiful person.
02:09So much fun.
02:10My brother, we continue to make history together.
02:13Here we are on power together.
02:14Like, it's, our energy is just amazing.
02:17Our chemistry is just amazing.
02:19We just keep doing it.
02:20And it's just a blessing to have to know him.
02:23Such a great addition to the cast, both of you guys.
02:26I'd love to know.
02:27We see your pictures on the gram.
02:28We ladies at Essence, thank you so much for the body goals, girl.
02:33So, power is very much known for their steamy love scenes.
02:37Is that something that you're open to?
02:39Or can we expect, like, a Monet steamy love scene in the new season?
02:44I don't know about that steamy, but there will be people doing it.
02:47But, you know, I'll be in the bed with someone and kissing someone.
02:51Like, I actually broke down into kissing.
02:54So, it's like, okay, I'm going to kiss this.
02:56Okay, I'm in the bed with this guy.
02:57You know, so, you know, I don't know about the stuff that, like, ghosts and, you know,
03:03that lady was doing.
03:04You know, that was like, whoo.
03:05Right, right.
03:05I'm going to get that from me.
03:07You may get that from some of the other characters, though.
03:09It's a lot of, like, the young'uns start off with heavy sex scenes.
