00:00Tinashe, No Broke Boys being nominated tonight.
00:02It's just crazy how you've been keeping your foot on everybody's necks with these viral hits.
00:06I'm so excited about it.
00:08It's been so much fun the past couple years, and I have so much more lined up,
00:11and it just feels like the momentum is really great,
00:14and I'm just in the right place at the right time, you know what I mean?
00:16And you said so much more great lining up.
00:18How is the pressure for that?
00:19Because, like, when you have Nasty, when you have No Broke Boys,
00:21are you, like, in the studio, like, it's got to be the most catchy thing I've ever written?
00:24Yeah, yes, but at the same time, it makes you believe, like,
00:27okay, I've already done it, so I can do it again.
00:30Like, the next thing that I write is obviously going to be catchy, you know?
00:33So I think, for me, it's using that affirmation that I've taken from the song,
00:38being so successful and so loved, to be able to make, like, more great art.
00:41So I'm really excited about what's to come.
00:43I don't know if you've been asked this question,
00:44but was there a Broke Boy specifically that inspired this?
00:48I mean, I feel like we all have our experience with a Broke Boy.
00:51There's definitely a Broke Boy.
00:51I don't want to give him too much credit.
00:53It was loosely inspired, but, you know, very loose.
00:57But, you know, I think we've all dealt with somebody
01:00who just isn't up to our standards, whether that be, like, Broke or otherwise.
01:04And so at this point, I'm, like, standards are high, and we'll see what happens.
01:09All right, perfect.
01:10And then also, I want to ask you, you're going on tour.
01:12Yeah.
01:12So I love how excited your fans are.
01:14Yeah.
01:14Like, they're a very passionate group of people.
01:16They're so passionate.
01:16So what's, like, the craziest thing you've experienced at, like, a VIP meet and greet?
01:19Oh, my goodness.
01:20I mean, my fans, like, will give me, like, the most personal and, like, amazing gifts,
01:24which I really love, like, things that, like, I've forgot about, like, personal moments
01:28from my childhood and stuff like that.
01:30They're, like, Nardwara out here.
01:31It's really amazing.
01:32So I, like, I love it.
01:33And then, of course, so many cool people on this carpet.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Anybody excited to run into and maybe be like, girl, let's collaborate?
01:38Ooh, I don't even know who's going to be here tonight.
01:40Well, all of these legends.
01:41We got Salt-N-Pepa, TLC, and En Vogue performing.
01:43I mean, that's already a very, very impressive lineup.
01:47I'd like to meet all those ladies, you know.
01:48Let's celebrate them.
01:49That'd be amazing.
01:50Well, thank you so much.
