00:00The music video was mostly my idea.
00:02I wanted to show what I'll do in horror movies.
00:05I had Chucky.
00:06I feel like I'll just beat Chucky up.
00:08I had Scream.
00:09I've never seen Scream fight no bullies.
00:11I don't know what I'll do if I'm like a monster up, but that's what I see everybody else do.
00:16So I just hit him on fire too.
00:24Boo was really a Halloween song and made the Freddy Krueger thing, but TikTok kind of
00:30made it a dance and it kind of had its own fire.
00:33So I was going through a beat pack.
00:34I just thought it was a good song.
00:50I feel like horror movies is comedy.
00:52I be laughing.
00:53I feel like that's wrong, but I be laughing though.
00:57I be feeling like their reactions and stuff be funny, because in my head, I know they acting.
01:08I think my fans know that I'm not just a dance rapper or...
01:17You know, TikTok rapper or whatever the term is, I feel like people that have been listening
01:23to my music know that I kind of step outside, you know, where it's comfortable.
01:41I would wear it like how people normally wear it, but my friends just say I look like Nelly.
01:47I ain't like that, so I started flipping it up to the top and this is like my little swag.
01:52But when I started rapping, the headband was kind of already a thing because I used to play
01:56basketball and I used to hoop my headband.
01:59I was number three.
02:00I just took the headband from that and made this my headband.
02:18When I was making the song, I heard the beat and we was just, you know, vibing to it.
02:22I kind of knew the song was going to be called Boo before going in.
02:26I didn't know the verse or whatever, but I kind of had the hook before going in.
02:42I dance a lot.
02:43I might jig that hard to where I lose a shoe.
02:46It's a possibility.
02:47It's happened before.
02:49You know what I was saying?
02:50You laughing?
02:51I'm dead ass.
03:03I'm a 420 friendly person.
03:07The percent is a choice.
03:08All right, right now, like 40, like 40 and up, I try to save that for like the night because
03:15I'm going to go to sleep.
03:17Like 35.
03:18You feel me?
03:30I love my brother.
03:31My brother was with me until probably like my 10th grade year of high school here.
03:39I went to the Navy.
03:40You know, he's always been there for advice and, you know, just my anchor for real.
03:45I feel like this song kind of, it represents the introduction of Headband to the rest of
03:51the world.
03:52I feel like I introduced myself to like my city and like my region.
03:57Then start going crazy on TikTok.
03:59People making videos, of course, shock me.
04:02Then the celebrities making videos, shock me.
04:03Monica did it.
04:05Ciara did it.
04:06Keisha Cole did it.
04:07LeBron James' wife, Savannah James.
04:09Bro DaBaby did it.
04:11You know, just blessings on blessings.
