Speaker 2 Welcome to the shit show. Things are going to get weird.

Speaker 2 It's your fae villain, Kale Wow.

Speaker 2 And you're listening to Barely Famous.

Speaker 2 What's up, fuckers? I feel comfortable saying fuckers again on this episode because Morgan Bailey is on here.

Speaker 2 And for those of you who don't know who Morgan Bailey is, she rose to popularity through TikTok.

Speaker 2 I know some of you guys are not on TikTok, but she was doing her outfits of the day and, like, you know, 24-year-old teen mom.

Speaker 2 It was, you know, she had some comedy and she would refer to her, her daughter's dad as random man from Atlanta. She gained a lot of popularity on TikTok.

Speaker 2 And so it's a really fun interview about, you know, how she was sharing her story on TikTok, how she grew her following, and then what ultimately happened after she gained a massive following on TikTok and how people have been become so invested in her story.

Speaker 2 She didn't have to go on teen mom for 13 years to get the following that I have.

Speaker 2 So I think that's a really interesting spin on, you know, how we consume media and how we consume social media in general.

Speaker 2 It's like, you don't have to be on TV now to get these, to gain these massive followings. And so people really loved how authentic she was.

Speaker 2 But then I do, I do think some of her following started to turn on her.

Speaker 2 And she does share some insight on how that all happened, how it transpired, and what a rebrand would look like for Morgan Bailey today. And I think that's really cool.

Speaker 2 I do wish her the best with the rebrand because I know how hard it can be, but I think she can do it. I think she'll pull it off and go follow her on socials and to understand her full content.

Speaker 2 All right, Morgan, welcome to Barely Famous Podcasts. Thank you.
I'm so happy you're here.

Speaker 2 First, can we talk about the video that you posted on your TikTok where like the truth came out about why you couldn't come on the podcast?

Speaker 8 Oh, yes, that was

Speaker 2 shocked. Like I was shocked, but I kind of wasn't because I was like, I wasn't shocked.
Back when we had Baby Mama's No Drama and you were going to come, we thought you were going to come on there.

Speaker 2 What the fuck happened? they told me no they just kept telling me no they were like don't because kale's messy yeah i haven't been messy for a long time though like i was messy

Speaker 2 and i just feel like your situation it wouldn't make sense for you to go on which podcast did they say for you to go on they were pitching me to everybody they were they said bobbies which bobbies that's the one i love her but i love her i was like i'm

Speaker 2 Bobby is not having me after Drake she had a she has a list a girl yeah no all of her guests are a list and I think just think it's like a different um like a completely different vibe it's mainly like the music and acting industry where like we're more on the same wavelength i feel exactly so it just didn't make sense like sure maybe i was messy but you've been messy

Speaker 2 been

Speaker 2 i have been like before

Speaker 2 yeah so you became famous on tick tock from posting gianna and telling you didn't originally talk about random man from atlanta right does he have a real name do we ever say his real name he does okay we're not

Speaker 8 just like we are not saying his name no No, it was, I was doing like little get ready with me. Yeah.
And then I was just kind of messy. Yes.

Speaker 8 Yeah, no, no, no. Because I would, I would just post get like, get ready with me.
And I would say, like, I had this baby by a random man from Maryland.

Speaker 8 But a lot of people think that I blew up like that. I had a pretty large following, I would say, before I told a story time.

Speaker 8 Because everybody, buddy, was always like, come on, tell your story, tell your story, you'll go viral. I was like, I'm not interested in going by roll.
I didn't care about it.

Speaker 8 But then I grew a platform of people who were like, okay, what? What is it? Where is this?

Speaker 2 because i saw when you were like getting gianna in the car those videos yeah we're like this is what i'm wearing and then um don't have a baby i'm a 20 24 year old teen mom or 24 year old i was saying my coochie was sweating yeah all the bags that's how i you came up on my for you page and i was like this is so funny like it's so real

Speaker 2 and then I didn't even know there was random man from Atlanta. So like I followed you, but I didn't know what the hell was going on.
So you, we meet random man from Atlanta, sort of. He met us.

Speaker 8 He met us. He came and joined the party, girl.

Speaker 2 And y'all tried to work it out.

Speaker 8 I mean, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah.

Speaker 2 Everyone does.

Speaker 8 Yeah, exactly. So if I had known that, I feel like I wouldn't have started like that.
Right.

Speaker 8 And when they say the relationship, if the baby's under five, the relationship is it's like real, but you know, to not under five, maybe, but definitely. I feel like you give them a future.

Speaker 8 You know what I'm saying? Like, you definitely give them a few. Yeah.
Unless you just are a warrior, not me, honey. Because, yeah.

Speaker 8 Even I was weak at the knees.

Speaker 2 Even still or no? No, no, no, no, not really. Are you sure? Because we've all been

Speaker 8 that you like,

Speaker 8 I don't want to be like, I am trying to, like, really step, you know, like, it's just so, like,

Speaker 8 I can't explain it. It's like you have that friendship, you want to, you want to have that friendship, but it's like, you, you got to make because you'll fall back into the trap.
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 So things are like good.

Speaker 8 Exactly. And I don't want to be like, oh, I'm, you know, because you just, you just don't know.
You don't know how life spins.

Speaker 2 So it's just like, does Gianna get to herself? He has several other kids. Six? Yeah.
Seven.

Speaker 8 Yeah, seven. We don't know.
No, no, no.

Speaker 2 He has seven kids besides Gianna.

Speaker 8 Yeah. No.

Speaker 2 Including Gianna.

Speaker 8 Including Gianna, yeah.

Speaker 2 Do they all live in Atlanta?

Speaker 2 I don't know. Do you live in Atlanta? No.
You're in Michigan. I live everywhere.

Speaker 8 No, I'm in Detroit. I'm in Detroit.

Speaker 2 Okay, okay, okay. Yeah.
So he is in Michigan with you now, or he is.

Speaker 2 So how do you guys do you guys co-parent?

Speaker 8 It's just like, it's just, you know, it's just,

Speaker 8 I don't, co-parenting is such a hard term because when I said I was co-parenting, I got ate up. So I'm not using that term.

Speaker 8 I deleted it from my vocabulary because people were like, you guys are together. But it was just like hard because it was like, how do you co-parent states away? You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 Like, it's kind of a, it's, it's just a hard line. It's a very fine line that you really have to find.
So I would say we're working on ourselves for Gianna. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 Trying to be grown, like, seriously, like, really trying to step away from all the drama and just grow for her.

Speaker 8 Like, so, yeah, yeah, we are co-parenting, but it's not like he gets her this way, you know what I'm saying? Right, right, right. It's like, not like that.

Speaker 2 So it's like, like, you gotta parallel parents. I don't know.
Cause how do you because your state's away? I don't even know how that's. Is that what it's called? I don't know.
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 8 I'll probably in the future, I've always wanted to live in Atlanta. I'm thinking maybe Texas, but like, so you know, he asked, like, can she go down there with him or whatever?

Speaker 8 And I'm getting to the point because I just stopped breastfeeding and everything. Well, today's my last day, but you know what I'm saying? So it's like,

Speaker 8 we have to figure it out. Right.
Yeah. yeah and

Speaker 2 we're working together I would say so does she know her siblings

Speaker 8 she met them but you know and they talk on FaceTime like all that so it's like you know but she's two so and what was the reaction for his other kids moms they are they upset with I saw some stuff where like some of the moms were coming forward but what what is that like are you guys cool now or no so I don't really it's kind of hard because it's like when we are there like when we went we like we went down there um when we were together We all, well, not all of us, because it's like, that's a lot, but you know, could you imagine?

Speaker 8 Yeah, that would be so t I'm such a girls, girl that, like, it would just be, yeah, like it would be, are we sister? What?

Speaker 8 No, and no, it's nothing like that, but like, I, I like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I genuinely like them. I like their personalities.

Speaker 8 Like, we all different walks of life, but the same stuff happened to us. So it's like, I don't, I'm not judging.
So, yeah.

Speaker 8 Um, we all, the ones that came to the house, you know, we sat there, we talked, like, the kids were inside, like, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 Like, we, we had fun, so it's no, but I just don't know all of them like that, you know? So

Speaker 2 are all of them in Atlanta, though?

Speaker 8 No,

Speaker 8 one of them's out of, I don't really know. I can't, I can't even, I think, I think most of them are in Atlanta.
I think so, but I don't want to.

Speaker 2 How did you end up in Atlanta in the first place?

Speaker 8 Because, so actually, so actually, I was kind. This was not in Atlanta.
I ran a man from Atlanta. I never lived in Atlanta.
Oh, you never did? No, I've never lived in Atlanta.

Speaker 8 I just said that to be kind. And it was never meant to be like a put him out to the world.
It was just meant to, you know, like I, it was, my dad is from the same city that he's from.

Speaker 8 So I lived there. Yeah.
Not in Atlanta, not in Atlanta. Two hours away from Atlanta.

Speaker 2 Same thing.

Speaker 8 Yeah. No, no, no, yeah.
But so I moved down there when I was 21, moved out of my parents' house. My dad was like, girl, why are you going down there?

Speaker 8 I didn't know that it was like not a good city for real.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 8 But that's where I always grew up vacationing. Like every single, like every every other month I was there, right? So, I went down there.
We met. I lived on the third apartment floor.

Speaker 8 He lived on the first apartment floor. So, it was like that vibe, and that's how I met him.

Speaker 2 So, wow. So, you have your own variation of my hot neighbor story.
What is my hot neighbor story? So, Elijah is he's the father of my last three.

Speaker 8 I saw, yes, he was my neighbor.

Speaker 2 He owned a house in front, like, we share a driveway.

Speaker 2 So, okay, so we both have hot neighbors. I mean, well, I don't know if he, but had.
Okay,

Speaker 2 you have.

Speaker 8 Love that for you. Like, queen.

Speaker 2 Okay. I had.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So you meet and then you go back to Detroit. So did he know you were pregnant? I was really messy.

Speaker 8 Um, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Yeah, he knew I was pregnant. Like, we were together.
Like, we were together. Together, together.
Like, this was my first, like, kind of like my first everything for real.

Speaker 2 So, like, I felt hard. Like, I went hard.
As we do.

Speaker 8 You have that fresh taste of, oh, my God, I'm outside. I'm in my own apartment.
Like, and what's funny is, like, we were never supposed to date for real, but my cousins, I live with my cousins.

Speaker 8 They pushed me. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 They were like, they were like, he's cool like you know so we were vibing or whatever obviously we dated we started dating we yeah we were apartments away but like we basically lived together for real so like i was down there like every single day so i got pregnant like you know maybe like six months into it i feel like like kind of quick quite better than me mine was 24 hours so okay so okay okay okay i don't i'm not judging in the club we don't judge okay but so yeah i got pregnant he he knew you know what i'm saying and then yeah then shit just hit the wall.

Speaker 8 But you asked, I'm off track. You asked how I ended up back in Detroit.

Speaker 2 So is that what I don't even remember? No, no, no, I'm just going back.

Speaker 2 Did you know? Hold on. Because did you know about the other kids when you got pregnant?

Speaker 8 So this is the thing. And people always say that I've said that

Speaker 8 I've never said that I knew he had no kids. This is the thing.
And I've told the story before, but only on live.

Speaker 8 When I met him, my cousins asked him, do you have kids? He said, yeah, I have two. kids.
And this is when we were just friends. So I was like, okay, like, but

Speaker 8 I knew he was trying to slide. You know what I'm saying? So I go back to my parents because I was telling my parents everything.
I would face some of them every single day.

Speaker 8 I'm like, yeah, you know, I thought I liked this guy, but he has two kids. And my parents, they both have a kid before each other, but they've been together for 30 years, like strong.

Speaker 2 Right, right, right.

Speaker 8 They were like, well, does he see his kids? I'm like, he said he does. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah.

Speaker 8 He said, does he take care of his kids? I'm like, yeah, he goes. My dad was like, so how can you, how can you judge? You know what I'm saying? So I was like, dang.

Speaker 2 Like, you got to support.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I was like, you kind of ate me up with that he was like you don't have to date him but obviously he was just like you can't judge that you know so i was like okay dove in when i say i jumped in the deep end i didn't even go shallow i jumped in the deep end i was like okay full-fledged did you ever have another conversation about like meeting his kids the set the two kids this is the thing it was like well um see i did so i did technically meet them but it was like when i tell you kids were just popping up and i'm not trying to be messy like i really am not trying to be messy right right now this is your story It was just kind of like, like, it was just

Speaker 8 like, I think at first, when he said, when I met him, he said he had two boys. I can't remember if it was

Speaker 8 one boy or one girl. I know one of them had lived out of state.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 8 So, one of them had lived out of state and one of them had lived in that city. And he always would show me pictures and be like, I'm going to get my kids.
But just of the two. Yes.
So just of the two.

Speaker 8 But then, you know, time as time went on, I remember my cousin called me.

Speaker 2 This is, this is messy.

Speaker 8 I don't mean to be messy because I am rebranding. Okay.
But this is just

Speaker 8 this is just a story of what happened you know team was like don't go on kills podcast no seriously but like i'm not trying to be messy but basically like my cousin calls me and she's like morgan he has a baby carrier i said what do you mean did she see him somewhere she lit she was my roommate he walked inside with a baby carrier where were you I was like, I was probably like at my uncle's house or something.

Speaker 8 I didn't have a life. So I was just like up the street.
She just FaceTimed me.

Speaker 2 So he walks into the apartment complex, like where y'all lived with a baby carrier? Yes. And didn't think you'd find out?

Speaker 8 No, but it wasn't. So I don't know if this was one of the two kids he was talking about.

Speaker 2 Okay, got it, got it, got it.

Speaker 8 Okay. So like, cause we weren't, because I wouldn't say that we were like, I knew everything about him.
You know what I'm saying? Like, we were, I feel like we were date. I think we were dating.

Speaker 2 You know how sometimes we date them and they don't date us back.

Speaker 8 But like, so yeah. So she called me.
She was like, Morgan, he walked in with a baby carrier. I said, I said, no, like, he don't have no baby.
Like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 8 She was like, nope, he walked in with a baby carrier. So I, I was like, hey, do you have a baby? Like, is she, is she hating on me? Like, is she trying to, so yes, no, he had a baby carrier.

Speaker 8 He was just like, oh, we don't know if that's my kid. Like, I'm just babysitting, being kind.
And dummy me.

Speaker 2 You asked him about it?

Speaker 8 Yeah, I asked him about it. I asked him, that's what he told me.
He told me he, he, and, and, I mean, he was gent. I guess he was gent.
It's a red flag.

Speaker 8 It's a, the red flags were really the saying it out loud sounds incredible. It sounds insane.

Speaker 2 Only in hindsight, though, because when you're in the middle of that and you're head first, the feelings are already invested. You can't get out of it.

Speaker 2 And you don't want to, you want to believe what they're saying.

Speaker 8 It builds character, girl.

Speaker 2 It builds character.

Speaker 8 It does. Because, yeah, just, so, yeah, that was like the first one or whatever.
So, you know, it was like, it was like a two-week old baby or something. I don't remember.

Speaker 2 Two weeks old.

Speaker 8 I don't remember the exact age, but it was a baby carrier. Like, girl, car seat.
Like, so basically, as time went on, he said, I want you to meet one of my kids.

Speaker 8 And I was thinking that it was this kid.

Speaker 8 And this was a couple, like, like months later i i think i was already pregnant at this time i'm pretty sure and so i thought it was going to be you know at this point like a two-month old then it's like i came downstairs and it was like a four-year-old so i was like but but she could talk and she understood so i didn't say like hey like but he was just like i want you to meet my daughter so i thought it was going to be a two-week old or a two-month-old at that time because time had went on right the woman that was in the baby carriage exactly i thought it was going to be her but it was

Speaker 8 so it was another not for not the original two that he had showed exactly so it was a essentially like a fourth child yes so that was a fourth child and i was like okay um so did he clarify that at all was he like so and this is this is my fault because i didn't even like i just was so i red flags were popping up left and right i was already pregnant so it was just like you were just sort of going with the flow at the time i really was and like you know like when you get pregnant and that type of and everybody sees the red flags people start to pull away from you rightfully so in a right way you know what i'm saying so i really felt like he was all that i had at that time like truly like i i was going through it like i was on my own for the first time like i was just so that was kind of like a shocker and then and mind you we had been to his um mom's house in the past like and she had the stockings up and i remember there being a fourth name or whatever but i i thought it was like a cousin or like right like i i didn't know i didn't know the family dynamic then or like the names or anything so i thought that was weird because i was like okay i saw his name i saw the two kids names that i I knew.

Speaker 8 You know what I'm saying? Then I saw one other one. And so I just kind of started being like, oh, okay.

Speaker 8 So yeah.

Speaker 2 One of the hardest parts about getting older is feeling like something's wrong with your body. I know that I've gone through this myself, but not really knowing what.
Everything just feels off.

Speaker 2 I've actually come to realize it's not just aging, it's hormones too. And women's hormones are so complex.
And if anything goes off balance, the entire body suffers.

Speaker 2 But that's why I want to tell you about Happy Mammoth's hormone harmony. So hormone harmony is an herbal formula that fine-tunes the hormonal system, like a musician tunes a guitar, right?

Speaker 2 It doesn't just help with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It also helps with stress hormones such as cortisol, a little troublemaker that can contribute to weight gain, among other things.

Speaker 2 I personally have experienced cortisol affecting my sleep.

Speaker 2 And Happy Mammoth, the company that created Hormone Harmony, only uses science-backed ingredients that have been proven to work for women, and they make no compromise when it comes to quality.

Speaker 2 And it really does show. The results are impressive.

Speaker 2 There are over 40,000 reviews on their website women cannot stop talking about it on social media and a bottle of hormone harmony is sold every 24 seconds so this is because hormone harmony can help with things like hot flashes night sweats racing thoughts low mood poor sleep lack of energy occasional gas and bloating and no desire to be in bed with someone and i've experienced that my own self hormone harmony can help you with all of these things and actually according to a survey 86 of women started losing weight 77 say it improved their mood and the biggest benefit is that 100 of women surveyed say that they're feeling like themselves again.

Speaker 8 And then, girl, you want to know where it gets real messy since I'm speaking. Yes, we do.

Speaker 2 I mean, we want to know.

Speaker 8 But, like, this was messy. I hate to talk about it, but we're here because it's good to get my story out because a lot of people have a lot of assumptions.

Speaker 8 So, I would like to clear the air one last time before the rebrand because tomorrow I turned 25.

Speaker 2 So, happy birthday.

Speaker 8 We're not talking about this after midnight. You know what I'm saying? But, but

Speaker 8 I was sitting down.

Speaker 8 I was like, so broke. I was so broke.

Speaker 2 Like, financially broke or

Speaker 2 emotionally broke?

Speaker 8 No, everything. So, like, I had a great job.
I was mortgage banking. Like, I was really that girl before I moved there.
Like, I was, I had, I was working from home.

Speaker 8 And then I, I fell into this relationship where I just wanted to be with him 24-7. Like, when you are willing to lose everything,

Speaker 8 girl.

Speaker 2 So, and it's always the broke ones.

Speaker 2 The men, I mean. Stop, mess.
We were just talking about broke dick is the best dick.

Speaker 2 Anyway, next

Speaker 2 dick.

Speaker 8 Next topic, because I'm not being messy. But, and he, but I will say, and a lot of people were like, he was broke.
He had a job. Oh, he did.
Yes.

Speaker 8 Okay. So, like, people think that I was just like, no, he had a job.
Like, he, like, he had a good job.

Speaker 2 And the other moms trusted him enough to have them have him in their lives, in the kids' lives. So he must have been somewhat disciplined.

Speaker 8 Yes, yes, yeah. Yeah.
So everything was like, he had a good job. Right.
He, you know what I'm saying? He was good. He was motivating me to go to work every single day.

Speaker 8 But I kind of fell behind because I was like, I had this really big girl job and like all my friends were, you know, partying. Like I was working from home.
They would have. random men in the house.

Speaker 8 You know what I'm saying? So it was just like, I ended up getting fired from my job. Amen.
Thank God.

Speaker 2 You're like a blessing in disguise.

Speaker 8 Blessing, but then I went broke. Oh, no.
And I was pregnant. I know, right? So sad.
And then I went.

Speaker 2 You'd quit your, where you got fired because you were with him or because you were just like a bunch of things?

Speaker 8 It was really, I didn't feel like getting Wi-Fi. I was so messy.
I was telling them, I was, I lied to them folks and said that Comcast were going to come out because I didn't want to work all day.

Speaker 8 So the Wi-Fi was spying.

Speaker 2 But why were you doing that? Because you'd rather do other things?

Speaker 8 Listen, I have worked since I was 16.

Speaker 2 Okay. Like two times.

Speaker 8 I always had a good job. I always had good, good, good jobs.
And I was just tired. I'm like, I'm tired.
I don't even want to do this for real. I knew I wanted to do social media back then.

Speaker 8 So I'm like, let me just vlog.

Speaker 2 Like, and see what happens.

Speaker 8 So, yeah, I got fired on my break. I was like, thank me and my friend were like, we, I think we went to Chipotle.

Speaker 2 Like, thank God.

Speaker 8 So, yeah, I got fired or whatever.

Speaker 2 Chipotle.

Speaker 8 Girl, but then, like, and I had a, I had a very good bank account. But then, you know, money dwindled down

Speaker 8 real quick.

Speaker 2 So, and you were already on social media at that time? No, no, no, no, you weren't.

Speaker 8 Oh, I wasn't even posting. I was, I was hiding from the world.
Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
Cause then I got pregnant.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 8 I was telling you how I got an SE, kind of. So when I got, when I got pregnant, I got this job.

Speaker 8 It was like technically through, it was like a contract to hire, like a HR job. And it was a really good, again, fell into a very good job.

Speaker 8 But I found out that like a week before that I was pregnant. So like I knew that, I kind of knew that they weren't going to hire me on because I'm pregnant.
You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 They didn't know that I was pregnant.

Speaker 8 They can't do that, but they can. You know what I'm saying? So I ended up getting fired from my job while I was pregnant.
And I went to my aunt's house and she's very good with financials.

Speaker 8 So we sat down and we were like, okay, how are we going to make this baby work? Do I need to go back to Michigan? Do I like, so we were writing down every single dollar.

Speaker 8 And my aunt was like, she, okay, mind you,

Speaker 8 they all are connected. She's friends with one of his daughter's like moms, kind of like that.
Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 Random man's child's mom?

Speaker 8 Not the mom, her mom.

Speaker 2 Whose mom?

Speaker 8 Well, not friends, associates. Basically, it was one of the grandmas of the kids.
Got it, got it, got it, got it.

Speaker 8 So she was like, um, did you, she was like did you see the how beautiful his daughter is so i'm thinking that it was uh the one of the the either the baby or the four year old no i was thinking that it was like the baby baby one right

Speaker 8 so i'm like um no she doesn't have a kid like with this girl he was like she was like she was like are you sure no they have a kid together like like the kid was just in atlanta like i was like no no no no like they don't have a kid together she's like

Speaker 8 maybe she and you know she was like maybe i'm tripping like you know what i'm saying she was she genuinely, from the bottom of her heart, was like, maybe I'm tripping. So, I'm like, this is weird.

Speaker 8 I get on the phone with my cousin. I'm like,

Speaker 8 investigative mode, you know, when I call my cousin, it's real. So, I'm like, my aunt said that, said that, said that so-and-so had a baby.
She was like, No, she was like, No, it can't.

Speaker 8 She was like, It can't be that. It can't be that.
A week later, my parents come down. It's like my, I'm like, uh,

Speaker 8 what do you have at 20, 20 weeks?

Speaker 2 You're at an anatomy scan.

Speaker 8 So, I'm like finding out the gender, everything. We found out the gender that day.

Speaker 2 Did he go with you?

Speaker 8 No, my mom came with me. I wanted my mom.
My mom came to all my appointments. She flew down to Atlanta.
Okay, spirit flight. No, she flies Delta.
She's bougie. But

Speaker 8 I remember my parents were in town. Like we were doing a gender review.
We were planning that. Like this was that day.
This was the big day. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 Like, I had finally felt a little bit of peace of my whole pregnancy because I was so secluded. I was so happy to see my family.
Girl, my cousin sends me pictures.

Speaker 2 Can you see my expressions? I have Botox, so I'm like, I don't know if you can see my bag. My mind wore off.

Speaker 8 So my cousin sends me pictures and he was at a baby shower.

Speaker 2 He, random man, was at a baby shower.

Speaker 8 And not only, not even just a baby shower, like this was like a baby shower months ago. So my aunt was, she, she was right.
She was right. She was very right.

Speaker 8 And so that's how I became what? That's how I became the sixth baby mom. So then I think.

Speaker 2 But you didn't know that you were six.

Speaker 8 Well, that's when I found out that I was a six.

Speaker 2 So so i so where was the fifth one

Speaker 8 the fifth one that was the fifth one remember they were okay so they were you knew about the two then one with the baby carrier and then the the then the the the four-year-old popped up oh right well i don't want to say like popped up but like you know what i'm saying so i met the four-year-old and then

Speaker 8 and then the fifth would have been that one and then you were number six and these are all six different women or six different children both both yeah both oh so then and the story and and it's so it's so hard to tell because like when you're going through that you don't remember everything that happened.

Speaker 2 So I wish that I would have like told my story in full from if I knew that I was gonna blow up from that I would have told it from start to finish just so there was no like yeah because like I mean thinking back right like even right now you're like I don't remember for me at least I don't remember certain timelines, but I know exactly especially when you're pregnant people yeah and just like I know the details of what happened, but I don't know which one came first or like which detail came out.

Speaker 2 And then people like to twist your words like and then they get mad and it's like, well, there's, look at how much is happening. And you're expecting me to remember this in chronological order.

Speaker 8 And then, though, so then

Speaker 8 I get a, I blow up on TikTok from telling my story. And I'm just like, joking.
I really wasn't even mad at him at this time because it's like, I was obviously mad that he left me with a kid, whatever.

Speaker 8 But like, I wasn't trying to ever bash him. I told a story.

Speaker 8 If I'm bashing somebody for telling a story of what happened to me, that speaks on their character, not mine. Like, that's not bashing, in my opinion.

Speaker 8 So, um, I told my story or whatever, and then I get a DM.

Speaker 2 From him? Yeah.

Speaker 8 I get a DM from this girl. She was so sweet.
She sends me a paragraph.

Speaker 8 She's like, yeah, this is my baby daddy girl. I've been trying to find him for child support for years.
I'm like, and she sends a picture. She sends pictures of him with her when she was younger.

Speaker 8 So yeah, now I'm the seventh. So I got on the internet.
I was like, Beyonce, write seventh baby mama for me because I wanted a song, but nobody made it. So it was a sad moment.

Speaker 8 I didn't even get a song out of it.

Speaker 2 So he's involved in some of the kids' lives, but not all of them.

Speaker 8 No,

Speaker 8 he like people really do. And people say that I call him a deadbeat.
I've never called him a deadbeat online. Like, I have to say, I don't know if he did or didn't.

Speaker 8 Yeah, no, I know I didn't because he does. Like, I want to give, I don't, I don't want to be like, you know, they might think that I want that, but like, I just try not to, I, I'm grown now.

Speaker 8 So I really try to talk about him in a positive light.

Speaker 8 And he does do a lot more than he has ever done like and like i you know like i hate to be like people get very mad when i talk about it positively but i am trying to be positive about it but yeah like he when when he when but also it's like when he's allowed you know what i'm saying this is like but i also can't get into all of it because if it you know it's just not they're not my kids.

Speaker 8 So it's like, it's not my place to be like, he's doing enough for this kid or like, you know, because that's just a different big situation, exactly. And Gigi is mine, and you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 I'm gonna hold it down no matter what, like with or without somebody. So she's taken care of.
So that's really all that I'm worried about.

Speaker 2 So at what point did you guys like break up? Did you guys break up or you stayed together for the entire pregnancy?

Speaker 8 No, we were together the entire pregnancy. He moved to Michigan with me.
He moved to Michigan with me.

Speaker 2 Because Gigi just turned too, right?

Speaker 8 Yes, Gigi just turned too.

Speaker 2 So you're pregnant and you moved there?

Speaker 8 Or where was I pregnant? I lost my job. Right.

Speaker 8 The hr one as soon as they sent for the um benefits like because i was like hey guys like i'm about to pop out a baby like am i going like um what do you call it when you go like maternity leave yeah maternity leave but like when you go when you get technically hired in it was like i was supposed to get hired in i'm like i was i knew i was doing great but i kind of knew like they weren't gonna because i was pregnant and i i do understand it's like you didn't expect that so whatever it is what it is and everything happens for a reason so i got fired well i didn't get fired i just like they just ended ended the contract one day.

Speaker 8 And I'm like, oh my gosh, how are we going to do this? Like, I'm pregnant. And he was just like, I'll hold it down, whatever.
But I'm like,

Speaker 8 at this point, like, I got to go home. I got to go to Michigan.
But it was his idea to go to Michigan.

Speaker 2 So then he goes with you. Yes.

Speaker 8 You guys have Gigi. Yep.

Speaker 8 Then we had Gigi like a month or two later. Okay.
And then, yeah. And then he leaves?

Speaker 2 Yeah. He just disappears.

Speaker 2 Or you guys like broke up and then he leaves.

Speaker 8 I mean, I like, I was just kind of tired. I was like, it was a lot.
That C-section was a lot on my body. I was living with my parents.
I didn't have no job.

Speaker 8 Nobody would hire me because I was seven, eight months pregnant. Like while I was interviewing, you know what I'm saying? So he left, what, a month into it? Yeah.
He left a month into it.

Speaker 8 And then I hadn't seen him for a year. And he went, he went, meet, had his family.
You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, he just, he went, he left.

Speaker 2 Like, and then you didn't talk to him?

Speaker 8 We did. We talked every day.
Like, people, people think that I say like, he just goes, what? You know, when you tell story time, you just kind of tell, like, I was just, I just like to laugh.

Speaker 2 So like, it was never like laugh

Speaker 2 yeah so i'm like i'm like if somebody sees gig's dad i knew him the whole time like you know what i'm saying like oh okay because now that you're now that you're saying that i vaguely feel like you knew who the who the dad was but he like disappeared kind of thing but you would tell people but that was the like sort of the joke of the story

Speaker 8 exactly but people really held on to that yes and and so i and so like i was just you know i kind of troll like in a in a good way like i'm just like yeah if somebody sees her dad you know like i was just joking like and he would see all the videos like and not say anything.

Speaker 8 No, he would get mad.

Speaker 2 He would get mad.

Speaker 8 And, but then he started to just be like, you know, he just was, he, he just became cool with it or whatever. But we had wanted, and he always, he posted like

Speaker 8 messages of me saying, like, oh, we should do social media together. They're so old.
They're way before I blew up or anything. So like, I never asked him, like, come, come do content.

Speaker 8 No, I never said that. But, like, we, that was our, always our plan.
Like, you know, we always wanted to do content or whatever.

Speaker 8 So, but right before I had started tick tock you know I was trying to get my man back like I I really because that's how when you get left after that c-section you're like what like this can't be you literally are like this can't be real like and you're postpartum like so yeah we I was I was just like let's do content um and then and and it's always like people are always like he didn't want her he was also trying to get me back so but we would go back and forth of like he wants me today I don't want him tomorrow he I want him the next day he doesn't want me the next day

Speaker 8 that's just how it was Yeah, and that's like the typical, you know what I'm saying? Like that, it's just typical.

Speaker 2 So so at what point did he then get on social media? Because I vaguely remember him like and everyone freaked out because he got on social media.

Speaker 8 Oh my goodness. They found I thought I had cleared my tracks because I saw I saw this one it started to blow up and I saw this one girl post.
She was like Now who is the random man from Atlanta?

Speaker 8 And I said, oh, they're in my business deep.

Speaker 2 And you know the internet sluice will find I'm like deleting him off everything.

Speaker 8 Like, I'm like, mom, take the baby list registry. They, they found my baby list registry.

Speaker 2 With his name on it.

Speaker 8 With his name on it. Went digging.
And then

Speaker 8 they found my baby daddy. And then he found us.
He joined the party. He joined the party.

Speaker 2 And he was like, I'm random man from Atlanta. Yes.

Speaker 8 He said, I'm random man from Atlanta.

Speaker 2 Did you know he was going to do that?

Speaker 8 I expected it. Oh, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 And it's not.

Speaker 2 See, I looking back, it's like you're better than me because I exposed my baby dad when he was like not claiming me and like was acting like he didn't.

Speaker 2 Not he was not claiming you, like nobody literally did it from his family. And I, at seven months, I was like, this is my baby father.
And that was my biggest mistake.

Speaker 2 I should have, I should have pulled a Morgan, but this was before you.

Speaker 8 Because it was supposed to be a joke. It was just a little jokey joke.
They act like it's Facebook on TikTok. I'm like, they're strict over there.
They got real strict.

Speaker 8 So, yeah, I got to watch what I say now.

Speaker 2 Well, they'll twist every word. Every word.

Speaker 8 Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2 And I was a little nervous because I'm like, I don't, I didn't know how much you were willing to talk about it, but I do see how much people twist every single thing that you say.

Speaker 2 And it's hard because you want to tell your story, but then you also are going to get bashed for all of it. And you're like, but I wasn't lying, but the timeline might have been off.

Speaker 2 But I'm trying to tell my story so that you guys can, so it's digestible for you because that's the other thing:

Speaker 2 you are human beings. So you're not going to remember everything down to the little, you know, every detail.

Speaker 2 Neutrophil.

Speaker 2 So he gets online and then you guys

Speaker 2 tell me if this is out of order, but then you guys are back together and you like randomly drop a video of you guys being together or am I

Speaker 8 actually so everybody so so um I posted did you see that video where I was like, I was, it's so funny because he came.

Speaker 8 Okay, so finally, I really, truly thought that I was in that headspace to be like, you can see her and we cannot be together.

Speaker 8 Like, I really thought, I truly would not have let him come to my, like, come to Michigan and see her if I didn't think that I was in that headspace.

Speaker 2 Like, honest to God.

Speaker 8 Um, so this is where it gets kind of hard because he

Speaker 8 lived with his girlfriend, you know what I'm saying? And like,

Speaker 2 whatever.

Speaker 8 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He got, yeah, he had a, he had a girlfriend, he had his family, you know what I'm saying? But they, he, he, I mean, but he was saying that they weren't together.

Speaker 8 I don't know, I don't know how it went, you know, I'm just saying what I was told. So I was saying, they weren't together.

Speaker 8 He went on a work trip to, I think it was, I don't know, it doesn't even matter. He went on a work trip out of town and he was like, hey, can I come to Gigi like after I leave here?

Speaker 8 I'm like, you know, like, when Gigi's a year old now, and people say, oh, so he was there for her birthday. No, he was not there for her first birthday.
I didn't lie about that. Like, oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 Why would you lie about that? No, seriously. Because if he was there, he would let people know.

Speaker 8 No, literally. Girl.
But I'm like, no, so like, whatever.

Speaker 8 He, uh, he,

Speaker 2 he wasn't there for the birthday. He lost my training.
He wanted to come to 10 a.m.

Speaker 8 I lost my train of thought.

Speaker 2 Like, do we need more caffeine?

Speaker 8 Girl, I had those espresso martinis. I'm scared of coffee at this point.
That's what got me like this. Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 2 He doesn't go to the first birthday, but he asked to come see her.

Speaker 8 Yeah, it was like a couple weeks later. Okay.
He comes to Michigan. And I, and I was very honest.
I literally came on and I said, random man from Atlanta is in town. And I said it like that.

Speaker 8 They were so, and it's funny because like I was watching my videos before he even came. I was watching my videos.
I was like, I feel like I got kind of boring and I kind of want to spice things up.

Speaker 8 So, you know, you use different voices and you try different things. So that's why I had, that's why I said like, random man from Atlanta is in town.
Everything's calculated.

Speaker 2 When you do, when you do content, I mean, I wish I was a content creator, but I just, I'm not like you. I don't know.

Speaker 2 I wish I had voices and could be animated, but I don't know. Yeah, so

Speaker 8 I just, I said it like that and it wasn't like an excitement or anything. It was just like I was just trying to set it new.
And I had found this girl's page and she was doing that.

Speaker 8 And I like, you know, I really pick up on what other people do. And I just, I accidentally even do it.
So same. I was talking like that a lot then.

Speaker 2 Do you have ADHD? A lot of people ask me then. Because, no, I only ask you because that's something that like picking up traits from other people is like an ADHD.
You might do. I might.

Speaker 8 I'm lying. I don't even know.
I probably do, though. A lot of people they diagnose me with that.
I would believe it. I would believe it.

Speaker 2 But I probably do.

Speaker 8 I'm going to go to the doctor as soon as I get home tonight.

Speaker 8 But yeah, so he came or whatever. Did you put him on a video?

Speaker 2 Was he in a video?

Speaker 8 So, girl, I go to my managers because

Speaker 8 people say I'm a liar. I'm very, I'm very real.

Speaker 2 Why are people calling you a liar?

Speaker 8 They hate me, girl. They've been eating me up.

Speaker 8 But, anyways, so he, um, let me not, let me not do that squeaky voice. They might.

Speaker 2 I always just, like, I always know that you do that. I just thought that was a good idea.
No,

Speaker 8 they said that video, it was just too much. I caught, I got so many followers.
They hated me, but they said that I shouldn't have talked like that. So I'm like, I'm gonna talk different.

Speaker 8 I'm gonna talk different. But they basically had, um, you know, my man, I went to my managers and I was like, girl, like, uh, he's in town.

Speaker 8 Like, I know that, I know, I was like, what do you guys think? Like, I'm just like, because I don't want to lie to the viewer. I don't want to.

Speaker 2 But what if someone sees you in public and then they put it in the middle? It wasn't really that.

Speaker 8 It was like, I told every, I, I really had a tight connection with my, like, I don't even like to call them followers, but like, you know, like i'm with my tick tock girlies so i wanted them to know like this was my story and now we're gonna co-parent or whatever the case may be or he's here he just came to visit okay he didn't come to live he literally a duffel bag like you know what i'm saying like he never came to move in and people were calling me a liar saying that he just he like people were saying that we were together And then he was saying that we were together, but he was telling me we weren't together.

Speaker 8 So why are you going online saying that we're that we're not together?

Speaker 2 That he probably perpetuated the rumors that you guys were actually together, but you weren't.

Speaker 8 sleeping together and all that. And obviously, we ended up sleeping together again.
But we, but when I had came online and I said

Speaker 8 we weren't sleeping together, and I shouldn't even have to do that, but we weren't.

Speaker 2 Like, we didn't have to do that. But why would he do that?

Speaker 8 He just, he, and this is the thing, he doesn't, I don't know, he, he just wants a five-fifth.

Speaker 8 Sometimes I feel bad because he wants, you know, he's always wanted to be a content creator, but I'm like, no, we let me Google him. That's people about it the right way sometimes.

Speaker 2 So it's just like, you know, like he would go viral if he talked about

Speaker 2 his situation.

Speaker 8 I got a Google. And that's the thing.
And that's what I've always tried to tell him. If you stay positive and you stay away from the negativity, his personality, he has a very good personality.
Like,

Speaker 8 you got to have a good personality to get all these baby moms, first of all. So, like, you know, like, he's a very funny person.

Speaker 8 So it's like, just, just be you, you know, stay away from the negativity. Show me, show, show you in Atlanta parenting with your kids.

Speaker 2 But, you know.

Speaker 2 So then what?

Speaker 8 Now you guys. So, so, yeah, basically, so I came on and I said he was there, right? Okay.

Speaker 8 And then the girls ate me up and they said we don't want anything with him we don't want to hear about him that's what they said so i stopped i literally drew back and i was like okay i'm not gonna say anything else like and the thing is like he i hate to say like i feel bad for saying this but like he had just started his job he had just started this new job like he didn't you know a lot of people don't have time

Speaker 8 The average person doesn't have money to go get a hotel and this. And I get it.
When you have kids, you should and they're out of state. And I get that.

Speaker 8 but I I really wanted him to see Gigi because Gigi was like at this point like you know like I want her to know her dad so I let him stay whatever obviously got weak at the knees it

Speaker 8 deep into it not not immediately you know what I'm saying people think it was no it was not immediately but anyways

Speaker 8 I he goes back home and this is what I'm saying he didn't move in people think that he just how long did he stay he he now he ended up staying for about a month he was only supposed to stay for a week but he ended up saying I think it was I don't even think it was a full month but because you guys fell back into it, or just because of this, it just happened.

Speaker 8 He said, he always said from the beginning that he was going back. You know what I'm saying? So, like, I didn't think that we were going to go back.

Speaker 2 Did you think he could change his mind?

Speaker 8 No, no, I, no, I, it, it, it wouldn't even have been his mind being changed. Okay.
He had to change my mind for real. You know what I'm saying? Because I was really trying to stand on it.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 8 And it was just kind of like it was.

Speaker 2 Because I could see if he like came to visit because I'm guilty of it too, right? Like, yeah. Thinking that I could change their mind into.

Speaker 8 and like mate i don't know because it was so long ago and i really don't have that postpartum like depression anymore so i'm like maybe i did think that but i don't really think that i did like i really i really because he had he only had a double bag of clothes you know what i'm saying like what did we think was gonna happen so he goes back and then mind you it's like weeks later or whatever and I wasn't doing what he said he wanted me to do like you know what I'm saying so like what just like sending money for whatever like it was he wanted you to send him money?

Speaker 2 Yeah. For what?

Speaker 8 I don't even know. He was just like, send me money and I'll come back to Michigan.
I was like, no.

Speaker 2 Did you ever send him money?

Speaker 2 Because I saw rumors about that, too.

Speaker 8 No, yeah. Like, down when he came back or whatever, it got very like toxic where I felt like I had to.

Speaker 8 But like, it was like, he was just like, that's people say that I paid him $20,000 to come back home.

Speaker 8 Girl, cross my heart, hope to die. You could look through every single bank account transaction.
No.

Speaker 2 So you never gave him that money to come back. No, no, no, no.
Did he ever come back on his own?

Speaker 8 Yes. So he came back.
That's what I'm saying. I did not send him a dollar.
I literally did not have him send. No, actually, he didn't come back.
Well, he did come back.

Speaker 8 But what had happened was I, um, so I, I go, he's still in Michigan, right? Like, let's backtrack a little bit. He's still in Michigan.
I go to my mom's 50th birthday bash in Florida.

Speaker 8 He leaves right after I left.

Speaker 2 He leaves Michigan.

Speaker 8 Yes. Like, literally just left.
But I'm like, you could have just said you were leaving. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 So while you were in Florida, he leaves?

Speaker 8 Like, literally, as soon as I get in my car, like, he's right behind me. Like, he took down my, he was covering up the camera, took my camera down off my door.
I'm like, why are you doing all that?

Speaker 8 Like, it's okay. You could leave.
Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's not that serious. Like, it's not that deep.
So he left or whatever. He left.
And then, um,

Speaker 8 I was, I, I, I'm obviously in Florida or in Florida. He's like, I'm coming back.
Like, I'm, he, when he left, he was like, I'm coming back. I'm going to go get my stuff.
He was, like, saying that.

Speaker 8 I was like, no, it's good. Like, stay there.
Like, you know, trying to stand strong. So I was like, no, it's good.
Stay there. Whatever.
Like, secretly, obviously wanting him back at that time.

Speaker 8 Cause like we had, we were vibing really. We, there was no toxicity, really, like for real.
We were vibing. Um, but then he was like, send some money to come back.

Speaker 8 I was like, no, I'm not doing that, whatever. Like, that's weird.
Cause that was the beginning of like asking for money. I was like, no, like, what? Like, what?

Speaker 8 So, um,

Speaker 8 I ended up getting a iHeartRadio interview request from this girl in Atlanta. Mind you, I came back from my mom's birthday bash or whatever.
So, I'm in Michigan.

Speaker 8 And people say, oh my God, she went down there to be with that man. No, I was so tired of being told no to this podcast, no to that podcast, no to this.
They said no to iHeartRadio. I said, I'm going.

Speaker 2 Wait, why? Why were they saying no to iHeartRadio?

Speaker 8 I don't even, they, they, here's what I'm going to do.

Speaker 2 Just to, I don't know this for sure, but this is my theory is that because people don't get paid to go on podcasts,

Speaker 2 I think that's why, I don't know, I don't like managers are not getting a cut, but I don't think that people realize how mutually beneficial podcasting can be.

Speaker 2 So like, I mean, you're tapping into people that listen to Barely Famous might not know who you are. So now they're going to go look at who you are.
Yeah. And vice versa.
Or like people who are.

Speaker 2 That's where we get in love.

Speaker 2 Yeah. People who love and support you might be like, what podcast are they talking about? And go look.
So it's mutually beneficial. And if it's not, okay, fine.

Speaker 2 But at the time, we were, if we were both messy, I don't know why you wouldn't be allowed to come on a messy podcast.

Speaker 8 But what's crazy is, like, I remember when you DM'd me, I was like, I'm going on Caitlin Lowry's podcast. I was like, and I got to tell you, my sister loves you before she cut you.

Speaker 8 Is she older than you or younger than you?

Speaker 2 Yeah, she's like older than you.

Speaker 8 Okay, so she's probably 30. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 So she's like,

Speaker 8 i'm like girl she's still to this day i'm like can you turn this off you should have brought her girl she was a sister girl like ah no i love her though i love her though she's so basic like

Speaker 2 like she watches the same show over and over and over again well we love her but yeah

See site for details. Go to Atlanta for iHeartRadio.

Speaker 8 I go to Atlanta for iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 And because you're there, you obviously see him.

Speaker 8 But it wasn't even that. Like people are like, she, she's like, she went there.
No, I was standing strong. Like I booked my own Airbnb.
It was days into it before I had even, I needed a babysitter.

Speaker 8 And this is like, this is kind of an excuse. Like I'll, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 I'll say that because I could have, I could have taken Gianna two hours away and then drove two hours back because my, my family was in Columbus at that time.

Speaker 8 So I was like, I need a babysitter, but I was like, this is ridiculous. Like her dad is literally in the same city.
Like, yeah. I was like, what? He was blowing it up.

Speaker 8 And I posted the messages, whatever. Like, I don't really care about that because I'm over it.
Like, there's no love. Well, I almost said there's no love loss.

Speaker 8 There is love loss, but it's like, there's no beef. Like, you know what I'm saying? There's no drama.

Speaker 2 But, well, there, yeah.

Speaker 8 But so basically, um, he, you know, he, he had his turn at blowing me up. And you know how that feels when your baby daddy is blowing you messages and messages.

Speaker 8 He's calling my cousin, texting my cousin. I want Morgan back.

Speaker 8 It's not, he's like, it's not about money. It's not about fame.
It's nothing. He was like, I just want my family back.

Speaker 8 So I'm like, okay, come on. Like, I finally, I'm like, come on.
Like, and, and people say that I was lying, saying that, like, I, I went two weeks, no contact, girl.

Speaker 8 That was a long, that was good, but that was my first two weeks before I had came to Atlanta. That was my first two weeks.

Speaker 2 Of never talking, of not talking to him.

Speaker 8 Of not talking to him. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
He was, um, I think that he, I think that he

Speaker 8 was,

Speaker 8 I would, I would be on live, though, and he would, I don't know if he had another page or like, I didn't, I had his number blocked. And, uh,

Speaker 8 so he would like comment on my live, but I felt like that was no contact because I'm like, your number's blocked. Like, well, I'm not, I'm not trying to replace it.

Speaker 8 Yeah, yeah, his IG, but he was messaging me through IG finally when I had unblocked him on IG or whatever. Girl, so many apps to block people on these days.

Speaker 2 You're like Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. Oh my gosh,

Speaker 2 fucking Venmo. Yeah, seriously.

Speaker 8 No, I'm not gonna block anybody.

Speaker 2 My baby dad sent me a dollar on Venmo or Cash App or something.

Speaker 8 See, I've been

Speaker 8 sending a dollar on Cash. I was down bad.

Speaker 8 Sending a dollar on Cash App, telling a man to call you back Morgan.

Speaker 2 You did that?

Speaker 8 You did that? Yeah, and I will be the first to say, like, that's what people, people, like, I'm not embarrassed of what I went through because it made me who I am today.

Speaker 8 Like, if I didn't go through this then, it's like, when was I going to go through it?

Speaker 2 Like, probably never.

Speaker 8 For real.

Speaker 2 No, but seriously, you're in your 20s and all of this is going on the last couple of years. You're young.

Speaker 8 And then you go viral and you're, and you're, and you're being told, you're viral off my name. I deserve a cut.

Speaker 8 And I, I'm like, oh my God, like, deep, like, I'm like, you never said his name at first. No, really, exactly.
But I really did.

Speaker 8 I kind of, it kind of played on on my heartstrings because it's like you care about this person and you do want them to owe it to them.

Speaker 8 Not even really owe it to them, but I'm so generous when it comes to giving. And like

Speaker 8 something about like him plays on my heartstrings as far as that did.

Speaker 2 You really did. You have a baby together.
He was your first love.

Speaker 8 It was, but it was, yeah, but it was, but it, but it got toxic very fast because I was always, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 Like, I was always, I'm, if people need, like, if you need it, I'm not, I'm not, you know, I'm not stingy like that.

Speaker 8 Like, if your kids, like, a lot of the the money that I would send to him, whatever, was for his kids.

Speaker 2 Like, I, you know, like, you knew he had six other kids, so of course,

Speaker 8 so I, like, I would always, you know, and I'm not trying to make it seem like he made me do that or anything, but that was like kindness for my heart.

Speaker 8 Like, I, I, if I, if I'm wanted to, and if you want to, and if I'm making this month, like, it's like, yeah, I want to, you know what I'm saying? I, it's just, that's Gigi's siblings.

Speaker 8 And I have siblings, I have half siblings. So I know firsthand what it feels like.
I have a sister that lives in Detroit that we can't talk because,

Speaker 8 you know what I'm saying? Because my

Speaker 8 because I don't even know what it is, but like, I we're like the same age and we've never even talked. So I never want Gigi to experience that.
And I always put my like heart into her.

Speaker 8 And I'm like, I want you to have what I didn't have.

Speaker 2 Well, right, when she also keep things close. You want her to be able to say that you did everything that you could.

Speaker 8 And I've, I've cut back from that because I realized how much I really, truly lost myself doing that. You know what I'm saying? So I've completely cut back from that.
And now I'm like, I got you.

Speaker 8 And that's going to be enough, period. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, she will know.
Kids will know. So whatever happened, happened.
And I moved past it. And I turned 25 tomorrow.

Speaker 8 And this is a rebrand. Like, let's talk about me.

Speaker 8 No, but yeah, I had to tell my story, though. I'll still answer your question, though.

Speaker 8 I'll still answer them because I don't turn 25 until midnight.

Speaker 2 Wait, so you go to Atlanta. How, did you stay in Atlanta then? When? When you go for the iHeartRadio? Yeah.

Speaker 8 I stayed in Atlanta. How long Airbnb?

Speaker 8 Girl, I ended up staying for months, but but I only did you, yeah. I, oh, well, girl, we, we, my mom calls it the world tour.
Girl, I was gone for months.

Speaker 8 We ended up going to Disneyland and everything.

Speaker 2 We were just living, just living, wait, just wait, wait, wait, just living. Did you stay in that Airbnb? Like, you kept extending it?

Speaker 8 Girl, I was just thinking, I was just thinking, and honestly, like, people were like, this is so bad for Gigi, but Gigi always had everything. Like, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 Like, I brought all her stuff. Like, we didn't stay in no bum Airbnbs and we were staying in like nice places.
So, so, um, we just kind of started traveling.

Speaker 8 Like, uh, I extended that Airbnb for like a week or two then we went to florida and florida was fun

Speaker 8 yeah because i had always wanted to take gigi to disney world um especially because before she's two it's free like oh is she oh i didn't know that i better take the twins yes take them it's free and they were like

Speaker 8 gonna remember it it's free you're like the pictures yeah and and it was you know you want your kid to see that so yeah so i i we ended up taking her to disney world and the beach and everything and I don't know, I was just, I just felt good.

Speaker 8 Michigan is so boring.

Speaker 8 I, I, I, I was happy to travel my baby so okay so you stayed for a couple months yeah next question what's the turning point for when you go back to michigan at what point do you go back to michigan when when the world tour ended for real it was just kind of like we just did was there a fight no no well you were just like i'm done i'm going back it wasn't a fight but he was just like he started going live every day and like talking about me like with literally just like tea pages and like hate pages and and i this while you guys were cool yeah while i would be in the airbnb and he would just be like talk and he would just be like oh i'm not talking about you.

Speaker 8 But the whole, everybody knew the live was about me. And it was just like always

Speaker 8 mean things. And then he was the one telling people that we weren't together, but we were.
But I was like, I didn't want to go against what he was saying because it's like, it always fell back on me.

Speaker 8 And it was just so, it was just so messy. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 It was just like, you're like, I'm going back to Michigan. I'm going back to Michigan.

Speaker 8 Well, I lived there. So it was like, you know,

Speaker 8 yeah, we just, we went, we had fun, like, and then we just went back.

Speaker 2 And you've been there ever since. Yeah.
Yeah. And now you're doing a full rebrand.

Speaker 8 Yeah, uh-huh. Yeah.
I have, I just, girl, does my frontal lobe look big?

Speaker 8 Like, I just know, really, like, you have that moment when you want more for yourself and you know, you're about to get more for yourself. And you're like, you know what?

Speaker 8 No, like, I really let the internet eat me up. I let them drag me down.
And that's cool. They had their time.
They had their tea. They had their fun.
Now it's my turn.

Speaker 8 And I'm going to have mine and I'm going to live my best life.

Speaker 2 So what's the plan? What's the plan for your rebrand?

Speaker 8 The plan is to find out who Morgan is because Morgan is Gigi's mom. Morgan is random man from Atlanta's baby mom.
Morgan is a seventh baby mom. Morgan's a TikToker, but who is she?

Speaker 8 So I really have to get back to like, girl, I've been, I've been eating the girlies up on IG and stuff lately. They're like, they're like, wait, she's not fat.
Wait, she's not ugly.

Speaker 8 Wait, because what? No, they said that. Why? They said, so I got a college.
What do you mean? They were like, how did you get skinny? Because I got my jawline back. Oh, my jawline is bad.

Speaker 2 You were like, when you lose the stress, when you lose the baby daddy, you get the baby.

Speaker 8 It really truly is just like when you're at peace with who you are with a mother, as a content creator, as a person.

Speaker 8 Like, i just had i literally i used to think i was getting bullied when people be like your frontal lobe's gonna develop when that frontal lobe develop can do we cuss on here yes and you stop taking people shit it's over with wait why would they say that though girl they say everything they say everything why were they following you if they were just gonna call you say i mean but i needed it because if you look at my videos my face was puffy i was pimples everywhere like just looking messy doing the same hair videos doing the same

Speaker 8 whatever videos I was making. They were just boring.
I needed, I really, I needed to be bullied back to me because now I'm about to be a problem, okay? Like, I'm about to be acting up.

Speaker 2 I was just telling you off camera, off the mic, that I'm having a really hard time rebranding too, right? Like, I just got a package from YSL.

Speaker 2 And when I got the email that I was going to get a YSL package, I almost shit myself because I was like, this is the coolest fucking thing. Tell me about your rebrand.
What do you want to do?

Speaker 2 And did you drop your agencies or did they drop you?

Speaker 8 Oh, they had dropped me. Why? I'm with a the new one, though.

Speaker 8 Because they, and, and this is where it's kind of like, dang, like,

Speaker 8 there were lies going. People were saying that I called his kid ugly and then he posted a screenshot.
And I had, I didn't call the kid ugly. And people were like, oh, my God, she didn't even say that.

Speaker 8 Like, but yeah, so

Speaker 8 I really, they were just comp, they basically were just commenting, like, we hate Morgan and we want her off your team. And then, and then, so I had actually came out to them.

Speaker 8 Uh, I this was the first time I ever really asked for like kind of PR help.

Speaker 8 I was like, hey guys, like, this is like actually something very serious i'm going through it like mentally like physically like everything like i need to get out of this and i and at that and if they i really say and i don't want to like shit on them because like they they're good people you know say it their job is their job you know what i'm saying so if it wasn't good for them respect and still love them down you know what i'm saying but like um I genuinely think that if they would have helped me through that, I wouldn't have,

Speaker 8 it would have stopped right there. I think, but you know, I could be wrong, but everything happens for a reason.
So they came back, and she was like, My managers, I love them.

Speaker 2 My current ones or your old ones?

Speaker 8 My old ones. Oh, I love my current one too, but like, I really had that relationship with them.
They were, I still do. They're literally like big sisters to me.

Speaker 8 But they were just like, yeah, we're going to go back and we're going to get PR. And like, we're going to get you out of this, girl.
So they came back.

Speaker 8 They said, yeah, unfortunately, they don't want you.

Speaker 2 I was like, oh, okay. That's so surprising to me.
Cause I feel like that was an opportunity to

Speaker 2 fully rebrand. You know what I mean?

Speaker 8 It was at that time. It really was.
But like, I get it. Like, it was just messy.
It was like everything I said, he contradicted. Everything he said, I contradicted.

Speaker 2 What is the way out at that point?

Speaker 2 Because you can only control what you say and what you do. You can't control what he says and he does.
So then what?

Speaker 8 Girl, you just, this is what you do.

Speaker 2 We get new management. I don't have a bad thing.
No, girl. Girl.

Speaker 8 Get a $47 flight to where Jamaica or something? Somewhere hot.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 8 Just no kids, no baby daddy. Make a friend.
Take a fake mink coat. Whatever you got to do.
Got a mink coat. And pop out and be like, I am that bitch.

Speaker 2 Like, that's what you're doing here.

Speaker 2 That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 8 And I don't care. I'm not, you will never see me respond back to nothing.
You will never.

Speaker 2 So you're not going to respond anymore to anyone.

Speaker 8 Who is none of that? You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't care if somebody popped out today and said that I hit them on the, on the A-line to get here. I don't care.

Speaker 8 Like, I'm not doing none of that. Like, I'm not.

Speaker 2 You're not going to clear up rumors anymore. It's whatever he says he says.

Speaker 8 Did you read that book, Let Them?

Speaker 2 Not yet, but Mel Robbins, shout out because everyone is is talking about that book.

Speaker 8 So I need to read it. Read that book and don't read it unless you're ready to change your life.

Speaker 2 Well, that's the thing. That is the biggest thing for me.
It's like we can say it until we're blue in the face that we want to make changes.

Speaker 2 But until you're actually in the mindset of what you're going to change, it's not going to work.

Speaker 8 I took Gigi offline.

Speaker 2 Oh, I was going to ask you about that. So what was the decision there?

Speaker 8 And, and, and people always make these mommy, mommy vloggers are exploring this. No, I didn't know that I was going to get fit.
You know what I'm saying? I was just doing her hair. Okay.

Speaker 8 And I was just doing whatever.

Speaker 8 But it got to a point where it it was like people only wanted to see gigi and respect you know what i'm saying but when i walk into a room and everybody says hey gg hey gg and i love my kid and people are like it's giving she's jealous of gigi no i am seen you're going to see me i'm her mother yeah you know what i'm saying like i don't play that when i don't play that whole like oh the oh we only care about the baby no like i will never treat another mother like that like you know what i'm saying i don't want to be treated like that no mother wants to be treated like that so i'm just done with it it's like it's like if you i i get it if you're i love if you love my kid But if you're only there for her It's like go follow another toddler.

Speaker 8 You know this is my page

Speaker 8 I love Gigi to death. I don't I don't know if she wants to be online and people are like it's crazy that you came to that.

Speaker 8 I grew I grew in the head so now I'm this is 25 year old Morgan thinking versus I went viral at what 20 22 or whatever I grew and I don't know if my kid wants to be online.

Speaker 8 I don't know she does yes, she loves the camera. Okay.
We know that, but she doesn't know where the footage is going. None of these kids.

Speaker 8 And I don't, I don't think that I'm better than any mom that puts their cut online because that's your kid, but I don't know. You don't know.
You don't want to make sure

Speaker 2 people know your mom. And if she pops up in content here and there, it's different than making her the main focus of

Speaker 2 it.

Speaker 8 And it's just like, how far can you go? I want to go far in life. I don't, and that's the thing I really gave up for a while.

Speaker 8 Like, I like, it's, it's, it's, it's hard when you work your ass off to get where you are. And then every single brand deal you get, people are going and commenting, we hate Morgan.

Speaker 2 We don't want to have this brand. They were doing that to you?

Speaker 8 Yes. Every single brand deal that I was getting, it's like they would call me stinky.
Then I got a brand deal with Dove Soap.

Speaker 8 And then they're like, we don't want her to have a brand deal with Dove Soap.

Speaker 8 You just said I smell bad.

Speaker 2 Why did they say that?

Speaker 8 My baby daddy said it. He said, he said, my Gucci smells.
It don't smell. Why are you with me in the smell? I'm doing the voice, but oh my God, it's like contradicting.

Speaker 8 You don't say like, girl, it's just messy.

Speaker 2 What in the world? Morgan, so what is the plan for the rebrand? We need to be in this together because I'm also

Speaker 8 going to eat the girlies up.

Speaker 8 We're literally gonna just become do you have like goal do you have like brand deal goals do you want to what do you want to do broadway like trisha like what's the plan no broadway i want to be okay i'm supposed to be on tv reality or scripted it probably should be scripted but i want to be a reality tv person i don't care if it's hosting traders talks of villains that type of vibes i don't even watch tv i like to watch myself okay that's what we're gonna do we're gonna watch ourselves stop watching what these other girlies are doing and live your life look in the camera when he says it live your own life stop wanting to compare yourself but that's what i'm gonna do is stop comparing myself um stop posting my kid how far can you go if you if you want to make this your career and you want to be an influencer what is it okay cool i'm a content creator i need to figure out what does it mean to influence the girlies you know what i'm saying right right so yeah like i a girl i did a face beat today like i look good okay like i like everything thank you okay if we're coming to new york we're coming to new york like i am at that point where i'm just like she said something yesterday my friend she was like she was just like girl if they want to do what they want to do okay but don't water yourself down to that level.

Speaker 8 So I'm just going to do whatever I want to do. I'm going to travel.
I'm going to make more content. I'm going to get outside.
And people are like, we don't just want to see makeup and all that.

Speaker 8 Okay, well, let me put my makeup on to get where I'm going. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 So it's just finding who I am as a person. And when you mentioned brands, I was hung up about brands for a while because it is a slap in the face when you know your content is good.

Speaker 8 You know, you put the time in and a brand doesn't want to work with you, but let them. Okay.
Cause guess what? In a year from now, don't come crawling back. Don't come crawling back.

Speaker 8 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 I have literally turned a brand down because they came back after a long time. And I was like, where was this when I was actively pursuing it?

Speaker 8 And now it's like, it's like, I know my worth. You know what I'm saying? And I still do get like brand.
Like, I'm not, I don't think that I'm like unmarketable or whatever.

Speaker 2 No, and that's what I, I guess I'm not understanding that whole part of it because I don't feel. But maybe because we both came from like messy worlds, like, I don't look at you and think messy.

Speaker 2 Exactly. I understand your story maybe because I experienced something sort of similar.
So I don't look at you and think messy at all.

Speaker 8 It's like, but people online, when they, when, when, when they get to the point where now you told your story, now we don't like that you took your baby daddy back. Yeah, is it real life?

Speaker 8 Yeah, Morgan, but we don't like it. So we don't want, we don't want you anymore.
It washed up, canceled, canceled. I'm canceled, but you're still on page telling me canceled.

Speaker 2 Girl. But how do you come back from that? Because I also understand that too.

Speaker 2 It's like, once you tell your story enough, or, you know, now you're on the podcast telling your story again, like, then what?

Speaker 8 You know how many times I've been canceled?

Speaker 2 Really?

Speaker 8 You think I'm worried about that?

Speaker 8 like i'm not worried about it i and one thing about me i am a highly protected individual okay so i am bouncing back each time people be like i thought i blocked you try again try again block me again somebody will be talking about me on your

Speaker 8 i'm here for a reason try again i just made a spam page i'm like so

Speaker 8 i girl yes just make one i can't tell the girlies that it's me they're like they're always tagging me they're like i'm like i don't know who this is but she's eating like yeah i put 31 cat lover no kids single that's my bio rebrand that's the rebrand okay

Speaker 8 you gotta do something completely opposite that smart's about to give you a deal yeah no right for real cat oh yeah because i got cats yeah exactly do you really have cats though girl i hate cats oh i hate morgan hate cat hates cats but big morgues cat lovers not big morgues that's do you post on there yeah i post on there girl i'm hot

Speaker 8 i just post stuff do people know it's you i mean it's me it's my face you know what i'm saying like

Speaker 8 i just do random stuff i don't talk on there though i don't talk on there can you get paid with 50 000 followers I'm not trying to get paid.

Speaker 2 Oh, but I am.

Speaker 8 Well, I mean, you could join the TikTok creator phone, but you got to post a minute video. I'm not my, this is the thing, too.
I got so stuck on the creator rewards program.

Speaker 8 I'm not worried about that little money. I didn't start content for money.
So I didn't even know.

Speaker 2 Wait, okay, because I immediately joined the creator fund. Really, did you?

Speaker 8 Yeah. I didn't.
I didn't.

Speaker 8 And for the longest time, people were like, she's getting paid off this. I'm like, no.

Speaker 2 So you weren't getting paid from TikTok?

Speaker 8 No,

Speaker 8 I joined it about a year ago. Like, just because, just because people were like, oh, you might as well.
Yeah. So, and honestly, I might take myself out of it because, like, I don't care.

Speaker 8 I'm not making minute videos anymore. I really don't like I don't even make

Speaker 8 no my minute videos don't perform as well as like my quick content mine do pretty good but this is the thing it's like I watered myself down for so long and I know what when you're a good content creator you're a good content creator and I know what will get views and I know what will get the girls talking and I know how to do that you know what I'm saying yeah

Speaker 8 I watered myself so down so much that my account wasn't growing. Like I was just like losing followers.
I was just trying to fit into their, I was trying to fit my circle into their box.

Speaker 8 And at the end of the day, that's not going to work. And there's a lane for me, no matter what.
God put me on this earth for a reason, so I'm going to find my lane.

Speaker 8 And if you want to stay out of it, you can stay out of it. And that's our rebrand, okay?

Speaker 2 I love the rebrand. Okay, we're figuring out.
So, who are your favorite content creators? Do you have any? I have rapid-fire questions, too.

Speaker 8 Content creators, favorite.

Speaker 8 Ah, that little New York City girl, Ayana. I love her.

Speaker 2 I don't think I know who she is.

Speaker 8 I don't even think anybody knows who she is, but she did her mango, sticky rice. I love her.

Speaker 2 Okay, I love her.

Speaker 8 I love, hmm.

Speaker 8 This is kind of crazy, but I really, oh my God, I'm so into the mommy vloggers who have their. This is you want to know who's inspiration for real? Who? Do you follow the Williamsons and the Henrys?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 8 Love them down bad. They are loved so well.

Speaker 2 I don't know who they are.

Speaker 8 Girl, they make, they make, I love them. I love Jayla, Diana, and I hope I said her name right.
And Kyra, I love them. They're good inspiration.
You know what I'm saying? What is there at?

Speaker 8 Like at Kyra Henry, at Jayla

Speaker 8 something.

Speaker 8 At, let me, let me, let me, let me. sorry, bro.
But I just like, I, I'm really into seeing people be loved correctly and like be good moms and like that. I'm into that right now.

Speaker 2 I'm into a lot of stuff. So they're cute.
Yeah, you know, she's cute.

Speaker 8 Yeah, so I'm trying to, I'm trying to actually

Speaker 8 kind of get install from people where I'm like, okay, you seem like a, like a good-ass mom. You seem like you found yourself a motherhood.
And like, I like, so I like following people like that.

Speaker 8 And then I like following fun and people that I don't even know the name of. You know what I'm saying? So I have a lot right now, but it depends on what kind of the mood I am.

Speaker 8 Like I follow some girls where it's like, if they pop up, okay, I'm going to the gym right now because you're eating me up. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 So I follow a lot of people, but before the TikTok ban, did you expose any of your own secrets?

Speaker 8 No, I didn't have no secrets. Like I didn't

Speaker 8 know. Yeah, I told them all, girl.
I'm like, I'm like, I can't even say. And, and, and I was already, I was already, I had a rebrand in my head already.

Speaker 8 So I was like, I'm not talking about this for real. But this podcast was long coming, so I had to tell my story because I was supposed to be doing this a year ago.

Speaker 2 I know. I was so wrong.
but I get it.

Speaker 8 I was supposed to be doing this a year ago, that's why I told my story. And

Speaker 8 people were like, Some people were like, Oh my god, don't tell your story because then it's gonna be her story. I don't care because, like, I don't care, I don't care.

Speaker 8 I wasn't gonna tell it again on my platform, you know what I'm saying? So, might as well pass the crown to you, and then that may be it. You don't have to tell it ever again.

Speaker 8 Exactly, now here's the whole timeline, and now we don't have to talk about it.

Speaker 8 And if people want to bounce out and say, Oh, well, actually, she knew about this, you know, it is let them let them because I just heard my story.

Speaker 8 And yeah, it's just like I told my story, that's what what happened to me. And either believe me, or I don't care.
Go tell, go cry to your mom about it, I guess. That's my saying.
Like,

Speaker 8 I took the tags off all my stuff in my house. Have you seen me with the tags on? No.
Girl, I keep the tags on everything. That was like a shit.
Did you think she returned it?

Speaker 8 No, it was just like, I just always keep the tags on, you know, just for fun. So I like a plant.
I took the tags off my plant, off my kid. Like, I'm taking her back.
I'm doing all that.

Speaker 8 Like, I did that. I threw out my quesadillas because I used to make quesadillas in every single video for Gigi.
I drew out my cheese and my tortillas. So it's a rebrand.

Speaker 8 Like, you know what I'm saying? I'm about to get a house this year. Like, yeah.

Speaker 2 I threw out my quesadillas.

Speaker 8 I did, though. I threw out my quesadillas.
So yeah, it's a rebrand.

Speaker 2 I love that for you. Okay.
Rapid fire, guilty pleasure. Do you have one? Rapid fire?

Speaker 8 What kind of, I have a lot of guilty pleasures.

Speaker 8 Let me keep this clean.

Speaker 2 I've got to think.

Speaker 8 What is a, what is that? What is a good one? I don't,

Speaker 8 honestly, though, I don't, I don't, I really don't think so because I do anything I want. Like, it's not like a pleasure.
You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not like a pleasure.

Speaker 8 I'm just, I'm just random. So

Speaker 2 if you weren't in content creation, what would you be doing? Mortgages? No. No.

Speaker 2 HR?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 8 I would be doing content creation.

Speaker 2 So if there's a will, there's a way. If there's a will, there's a way.

Speaker 8 Honestly.

Speaker 2 What's one thing on your bucket list that you haven't done yet?

Speaker 8 Haven't done yet. Podcast.

Speaker 8 This was on my bucket list. Like, I really wanted to do this.
I really want to start putting myself out there in the influencer world.

Speaker 8 Like, and I really want to start influencing because it's like like

Speaker 8 you see all these girlies doing it. And it's like, I have, I want to do this.
Like, why am I making these mommy videos? That's not getting me anywhere.

Speaker 8 And like, I don't want to say that I like use GG because I love making those videos, but I want to start posting content that I like to see.

Speaker 8 So that's kind of my bucket list is to knock down like the influencer kind of side of things, like events. Like, you know, I want to go to events, like all that.

Speaker 2 So are you going to go to any while you're here? Girl, no, I'm going home tonight. I got to try to make

Speaker 2 it a little bit different. Yeah.

Speaker 2 My birthday.

Speaker 8 And my ID expires tomorrow. That's why.
That's why. I got to get home before I go.

Speaker 2 That's funny.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 What's your go-to comfort food?

Speaker 8 It was Casey Diaz, but this is the rebrand. So we're going to say pizza.
Oh, oh, my God. Hungry Holly's Pizza.
You got to get the, no, not Hungry Hollies, Pizza Hut. You got to get the individual.

Speaker 2 Oh, like the personal pan. We used to get those for reading when we were in elementary school.

Speaker 8 Four-piece. Yes.
Jalapenos, pineapple, and pepperoni.

Speaker 2 Oh, that sounds good.

Speaker 8 Only with ranch. And not the cheap ranch.
You can't be cheap with ranch, Hidden Valley Ranch.

Speaker 8 So that's real good i got a bottle in my car girl i hope it's still there when i i hope nobody stole it from the airport ranch in your car yeah oh just in case yeah but it's probably frozen but i'll unfreeze it real quick yeah it's fine just yeah put on the frost or whatever oh seriously are you reading any books or watching any movies so i still got to get through let them i'm not a movie watcher i like i said if i genuinely i this sounds like really bad but like if i'm watching something i'm watching my content and how it can get better or i'm watching like other people's content you know like i like i like um i like i'm really into like self-help right now now.

Speaker 8 It's so gross because a year ago, I would have been like, ew, screw a self-help, but I'm into that stuff right now.

Speaker 2 So, okay, well, I mean, I feel like that's good for like self-development.

Speaker 8 Oh, I didn't mean to cut you off, but I'm into people who have their life together. Like, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 You're like, because that's what you're aspiring to.

Speaker 8 Exactly. And I get it.
Yeah. So it's really like, it's really people who I think that I could look up to and would want to kind of be friends with in real life.
So I like watching.

Speaker 2 That's fair. And I think that's good.
Yeah. What Celebrity Crush? Do you have a Celebrity Crush? I'm like Saquon Barkley, maybe? I don't know.

Speaker 2 You don't know who Saquon Barkley is?

Speaker 2 I never heard of him. Who is that?

Speaker 8 Is he

Speaker 8 probably like a rapper or something?

Speaker 2 No, he's on the Eagles, the football team. Oh, girl.

Speaker 8 Leave them alone. Leave the boys alone.
I will never be with the NFL person.

Speaker 2 What about

Speaker 2 NBA?

Speaker 8 I'm not doing none of that. I got cheated on one time, two times, three times.
I'm not getting cheated on unfortunately. Fair.
And they are. I'm not going to say they're all like that.

Speaker 8 No, yeah, Saquon Saquon is. He's that's a fun way to do that.

Speaker 2 He's in a relationship. I was just saying, like, celebrity crush, like, you think they're cute.
Probably like a hall pass. You know what I mean?

Speaker 8 I don't have any at the moment because they all kind of make Drake's like canceled. So it's like,

Speaker 2 yeah, but now's your time to get him.

Speaker 8 Girl, I don't want that, man. He's sassy.
He's sassy. I'm already sassy.
We can't have two sassy. I'm sassy enough for the two of us.
So next.

Speaker 2 Last one is, what is your signature scent? Do you have a favorite perfume that you wear all the time?

Speaker 8 They say I'm musty, but today I found a random one in my bag. It was like, I don't know what it was, but I'm not a perfume girly.
I really, but the rebrand is going to be perfume girly.

Speaker 8 So I actually am going to Alta this week and I'm going to get some. I do wear, what is the one with the high heel? Caroline Herrera is up.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I just Carol Carolina Herrera.

Speaker 8 I think that's what it is. I like that.
I used to love Chanel, but then I ran out of it and I'm too cheap to get another one. So I might get a new one.

Speaker 2 I actually love Kylie Jenner's scent, and I hate to say that, but I do love it. I love,

Speaker 8 you're a Jenner Kardashian hater. Let me know.
No, I love them.

Speaker 2 Okay, okay, okay. I love them.

Speaker 2 I was really upset because I saw on TikTok this morning, it was like Kim Kardashian was shooting her shot to

Speaker 2 Luca. He's an NBA player that just got traded to the Lakers.
And she was like, I'm going to learn Slovenian for,

Speaker 2 she wants to learn Slovenian because that's where he's from.

Speaker 2 And he was like, no, please don't. He like responded that back to her.
And I was like, honestly, how are you going to do Kim Kardashian like that? Because you could have been the next model for Skims.

Speaker 8 I love the Kardashian.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean? I do too. And I get so much hate for them for that, but I love them.
And I don't really care.

Speaker 8 yeah it's like they are literally the blueprint how could you hate them but that's why i don't really admit that i love the kylie jenner perfume but i do love it i don't see i'm not a hater if i love something i love it i don't care who put it out like i love them i'm gonna go get it though that smells like that sounds good you should at least try it and see i didn't try chloe's yet i do love chloe so see they got all the like that could be and it's crazy because you do see like all these girlies and they're like this person x that and this person x that and they're doing photo i just did a birthday photo shoot I low-key some, I was like, should I rebrand to modeling?

Speaker 8 Because I ate the photo shoot. You could no, seriously, though.
Like, I would like to, I would, and that's the thing. Like, you can't get to that being a mommy vlogger.

Speaker 2 Like, true.

Speaker 2 Well, I guess you can, but it would have to be like your own brand. Like, you would have to start the brand.

Speaker 8 Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So I want to focus on me and I want to find out what I want to do because

Speaker 8 I could be do, I'm like, I always look at it. I'm like, that could be me.
Like, I would have ate that shoot up. I would have posed like, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 So yeah, like, you know what I do say? This is kind of random, but people always say that jealousy is such a bad thing. It's a good,

Speaker 8 there's good jealousy.

Speaker 2 Well, I would say like you're looking at said person as like inspiration, not jealous, but different.

Speaker 8 But I feel like you do get jealous to the point where it pushes you to do more.

Speaker 2 But that's what I'm saying. I think it's more like inspiration.
Cause I'm, I'm also,

Speaker 2 I don't get jealous of people. I look at it as like, I want to be there.
How do I get there?

Speaker 8 Kind of thing. Yeah, exactly.
Not like, why do they have it right all right?

Speaker 2 Do you know what I mean? Yeah, for sure. So it's like, okay, if they can do it, so can I.
But But then sometimes it's a little more far-fetched for me. Yeah.

Speaker 2 So it's just like, they'll work a little bit harder.

Speaker 8 Brands, you're like, oh my God, I posted this video a billion times and I love them. And like, I never saw you post that.
And you're like, oh, my God, that could be me. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 8 So, yeah, but you, but I like, I'm, I'm big on clapping for other people. Like, I don't, you know what I'm saying? I'm so big on clapping for other people.
So yeah, it is what it is.

Speaker 2 Oh, so wait, you did a video this morning on your TikTok flashing your bank account and people are freaking out. What is the video? Did you make that much money? Oh, what was the amount?

Speaker 2 It was like $900,000.

Speaker 8 It was $900,000. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Love that for you.

Speaker 8 It's just a Google screenshot. But like,

Speaker 8 my dad would kill me if I posted my bank account. But yeah, like, there's, and the, and, uh, yeah, I just found it off Google.
And, and people, oh my God, they were like, she's lying.

Speaker 8 Girl, it literally says from 2015, you, if I was lying, I would have, you know what I'm saying? I would have edited that out. Like, I, didn't we, we were just having fun.

Speaker 8 I was like, girl, Google a million-dollar bank account. That was the highest one I could find.

Speaker 8 Yeah, if I could have found a 500,000, here we go. I'm obsessed with myself.
Here it is. No, I'm like, yeah.

Speaker 8 And, and it worked, though, because it was like New York City transactions.

Speaker 2 I was like, oh, this is

Speaker 8 like a girl sent me the screenshot right now. Yeah.
So I made it. And then, and then people, I saw that.
I saw that though. A girl was like, oh my God, $963,000.

Speaker 8 People always think that, like, people are always like, go get a job. I'm like, damn, like, what? Like, do you know? Like, I'm like, do you, y'all think I don't get no brand yes?

Speaker 8 Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, they're always like, oh, fuck it. And, and I, I'm not, I don't, I'll never talk about anybody with a nine to five, but it's like, what? Like, I want to influence.

Speaker 8 I want to be, why would I give up on this?

Speaker 8 because you guys think i'm done like you know what i'm saying you think oh you thought i was done no that was season one maybe maybe it was season one and two maybe three and four but this is this isn't season five no this is season 25 right that's we had a lot of we had a lot of seasons in my life but this is season 25 and i'm about to eat the girlies up okay no like i don't even think you like understand i'm about to eat i believe you i almost shaved my legs this morning for this like girl i'm about to pop out like okay okay i almost put baby oil and hairspray to shine.

Speaker 8 I didn't know how the lighting would be, though, so I didn't. And I didn't want to mess with the couches because I saw that they were white.

Speaker 2 They were white, yeah. They were white.
You know, yeah. I hope that you have your full rebrand this year, 2025.
This is your golden year because 2025 turning 25. So the rebrand is this year.

Speaker 8 It is. And I'm like, today, right when I leave, I'm going to post my photo, a slave photo.
It's going to be last 24 of 24. What was it? Last 44.
