Transcript
00:00First of all, congrats on your engagement to Gucci Ma'am.
00:07For those that may not know, how did you two meet?
00:11I met Gucci in 2010 on a set of his music video.
00:16Mmm, okay.
00:17So it was love at first sight?
00:19Absolutely.
00:20Aww.
00:21So now that he works, obviously, in the music industry and there's so many girls on site,
00:24how do you, do you feel any pressure about having other women around him or are you sort
00:29of comfortable with that?
00:30Absolutely not.
00:31I mean, I completely trust him, 99% of the time I'm there, he wants me there, but we don't
00:38have trust issues.
00:39Aww, that's so awesome.
00:40Alright, during your relationship with Gucci, he was incarcerated for over two years and
00:44you've been credited for being his ride or die.
00:47Yeah.
00:48What did you see in Gucci that made you stick with him?
00:50Actually, he was incarcerated for three years.
00:53I saw so much in Gucci that no one else saw, you know, he's extremely charming, he's super
00:57respectful.
00:58I feel like whenever you're in a relationship with a man, they have to respect you as a
01:02woman.
01:03So he was worth waiting for.
01:05Yeah.
01:06He lives a much healthier lifestyle.
01:07I mean, we've seen him on the Gram.
01:09Yes.
01:10He looks good with all due respect.
01:11Yes.
01:12And how much of that has been your influence?
01:14I mean, a lot of it is my influence, but I always want to credit him because he's a man
01:19and you cannot make a man do something you don't want, he doesn't want to do.
01:23He was willing to change his life.
01:24He wanted to be healthy.
01:25He wanted to, you know, just live a happier, easier life.
01:30And of course I was, you know, in the background to make sure he did it.
01:33Oh, wow.
01:34Okay.
01:35So your wedding is two weeks away.
01:36Yes, it is.
01:37One, two weeks away.
01:38Yes.
01:39Tisha.
01:40I am like, I don't even know.
01:42It's, I, it's a lot.
01:44I'm to the point where I just want it to happen so it can be done.
01:48Yeah.
01:49That's how it usually is.
01:50Like the two weeks before.
01:51Can you give us, I know it's a big surprise.
01:53Yeah.
01:54It's your big day, but do you have any surprises that you could share with us now?
01:57Any bridging?
01:58Well, I don't have my dress yet.
02:00You don't have your dress yet?
02:01No, I don't.
02:02Two weeks away.
02:03Yeah.
02:04What's your plan for that?
02:05They said I should get it next week and my thing is, what if it doesn't fit?
02:09You know, it's just a lot going on, but I am super positive and I have a lot of faith
02:14and I know I'll get my dress on time.
02:17Only celebrity bridesmaid I have is Trina.
02:19I didn't want just the whole celebrity wedding.
02:22You know what I mean?
02:23I wanted something natural and, or real friends and a real family.
02:26Yeah.
02:27So tell us about the special.
02:28The special is coming out on October 17th.
02:30Yeah.
02:31It airs 10-17 on BET.
02:32Our wedding will be live.
02:33And then we have nine episodes every Tuesday at 10 p.m. leading up to the wedding.
02:39Oh, so the special, okay.
02:40So the special is like the tail end of the-
02:42Correct.
02:43The nine episodes.
02:44Backward.
02:45Okay.
02:46So what can we expect?
02:47It's Meet the Wafsters, right?
02:48Yeah.
02:49It's called Gucci Man and Keisha Kayo are the main event.
02:50Oh.
02:51It's really fun.
02:52It's a loving show.
02:54It's not the typical reality show that filled with drama and bottle stone and fights
02:59and water.
03:00It's nothing like that.
03:01Of course, we have a little bit of drama with the bridesmaids bickering here and there,
03:05but it also shows me as a business woman.
03:08You know, a lot of people that didn't know me when I first came in the industry, before
03:13Gucci, knew I had my cosmetic line.
03:16But for my newer fans, they're thinking, oh, she's just Gucci's fiance.
03:20So the show shows you my entrepreneurial skills.
03:23So the show shows you my entrepreneurial skills.
03:27We go through with that stuff.
03:29That's the name.
03:30Kind of.
03:31We are the main주세요.
03:32In the siitäunnakiGs.
03:37I love that upward story.
03:40And I think, oh, you know a lot of people can lift my civilization.
03:43Now, can you see your sunbe台?
03:45I kind of think there's exactly the one we have to build with them.
03:47I think it's probably just the challenge you say when this one is that для you the same media.
