I want him to have, like, some type of male figure in his life. So it's like I can't just be a fun girl running around as a city girl.
Life got to get serious. serious.
And I think like going into my 30s, I'm at that point.

Would you enter a relationship for cheating?

Or you give them a second chance?

I give them a second chance.

Everybody cheat.

Women cheat too.

Damn.

That would quack.

We be cheating.

We just don't get caught.

Because y'all, y'all, y'all.

Because women are like cat.

They got padded feet.

Can't hear them.

They tiptoe in silence.

Yeah. And see, the thing is a lot hear them.
They tiptoe in silence. Yeah.

And see, the thing is, a lot of times, guys are not as messy as women.

See, guys will keep them hush-hush.

Women, y'all going to be telling.

Nah.

It's the other way around.

Guys be telling.

They be telling.

Man, women don't say shit.

Maybe tell our friends, but it's never going like.

But see, that yes out.

It's going to get out.

Because, friends, y'all going to have a falling out.

Because you know it's just a matter of time before y'all fall out.

And they're going to tell all your business.

And then what?

No, I'm not.

Like, I feel like, I ain't going to lie.

Just hear me out.

I hate to say this, but I feel like men cheat.

Like, all men cheat.

But you have to get to that point where you grown enough to just feel like, okay.

I'm not in that era no more.

So I'm not leaving my man

for cheating once.

I'm probably gonna give her

like four times.

Four?

Damn.

I'm not gonna lie.

I'm gonna have to get your number.

Four times, Joy?

I'm not gonna lie.

I got a little patience.

I got a little patience.

I'm like that.

But when I get,

I told you when I get the fuck on.

When you get mad at?

When I get the fuck on, you gonna miss me. Yeah.
Mm-hmm. So let me ask you a question.
That Neo situation. You see Neo, I think Neo got like three girls.
Man, Neo serving. No, I'm just saying.
I just think for each his own. I feel like he living in his truth.
That's all that matters because he could be like manipulating women. He could be lying.
He could be deceiving women. I feel like you have to live in your truth.
If that's what worked for him and the women that's involved, they happy, that's what they want to do. I feel like what works for you may not work for the next person.
Right. Everybody don't like apples.
Everybody don't like oranges. Right.
If that's what he likes and that's his truth, he have to live in his truth. And he got women that's.
Could you be, you okay being on the roster? Or you got to be... You got to be one? Can you be like three on the roster? Or you got to be on the totem pole? Let me tell you something.
Okay. You see this face? You see...
Baby, I just can't do a roster. I'm not going to lie.
I probably can start like... I probably can start with by the time halftime come, by the time halftime come, you know halftime, you got to go in a locker room with the coach.
Yeah. We got to talk about- Make adjustments.
Hey. Either we finna win this game, babe, or we finna hang these cleats up.
Right. Well, let me ask you a question.
When you heard that you were dating Stephon Diggs, how did that, see, I was, oh, how did that come out? That's what I'm saying. I don't know.
What, what was the question? They say you were dating Stephon Diggs. Where that came from? Internet.
You can't believe everything you're saying in there. You just said that, right? Thank you.
So let me ask you a question. What's the youngest? You're 31.
What's the youngest you date? 25. 25, okay.
What have you learned about relationships? Being who you are, being a public figure, you mentioned you have kids, but what have you learned about relationships? Men lie, women lie.

You just accept it.

So,

what do you believe? So,

if you believe men lie, women lie, so what do you believe to be true?

Nothing.

I don't

know. I just think that like,

I think that you really have to date. You have to find your person.
I think you know your person when you get with the person. Like, it's really about the feeling of connection with the bond that you share with the person.
Like, y'all have to be on the same page. That's the only way it's going to write.
Anything else is just women lie, men lie. That's some real shit I learned that like everybody be lying.
And you don't even get mad about it, huh? I'm just the type of person. It's like, man.
It is what it is. Yeah.
Born in Miami, raised in Miami. How did being raised in Miami, how did that shape the person that we see sitting here today? Ooh, it's a fast life.
Everything is fast. And I think that like we go through so much at a young age that it made me the woman that I am.
I think that going to school, I dealt with the worries may hurt you. Just everything that come at you in life.
My mama went to prison when I was younger. I had to raise my brother and sister.
So I've been through the hardship that built me into nobody can tear me down. I done been through this shit in high school, just being raised in Miami, coming from my brown league.
They sold drugs. You know, like I done been through this shit in high school, just being raised in Miami, like coming from like my brown league, they sold drugs, you know, like I done been through everything in life.
So it's like, it just molded me into who I am. Like nothing can really break me.
I done been through this shit. Like I felt like I was raised off a hardship.
You mentioned your mom went to prison and you had to raise your siblings. Do you feel you was robbed of your childhood, that you didn't get an opportunity to be a teenager, a young woman? I appreciate it.
I think that if I never went through that, I probably would have, like, not be able to handle what was dealt with me, like, now. You know how, like, some people, you think about people that commit suicide.
What made them commit suicide?

They wasn't strong enough.

They didn't have the mentality.

They wasn't built for it.

They didn't know how to get to the next level.

I think that going through all that hardship at a young age, life is life.

No matter how you shape it.

You can't predict life.

You can't say, I could have had the best childhood.

God put me in that position and have me able to navigate where I'm at right now.

And I think that I needed that.

Wow.

What type of student were you?

Were you a good girl in school or were you popular?

So how were you in school?

I always been popular.

Always had, I had a car at, like, what, 15, 16?

Always was in designer. Always been.
Damn. Nails did, hair did.
You been there, huh? Mm-hmm. Always was a cheerleader, jump high, could split.
Just. And cheerleaders, they athletes.
Mm-hmm. I like the basketball players, though.
You get the athletes. Yeah, I had a basketball player.
I know you did. See? Everyone try to pretend like you.
But yeah, I always, like, you know, I always been in it, girl. Always had this personality.
Always was fun. I read you say you was hood famous.
I was. What's hood famous? Like, I don't even, like, I was getting booked, and I wasn't even nobody.
Like, I used to do, like,

little club hostings back in Miami for $500 to $1,000. Damn.

You been getting bread for a minute, huh? I used to do,

like, little bookies, yeah. Like, $500 was the lease

I took to $1,000.

So you been a hustler? Mm-hmm.

I used to have, like, I used to sell wigs.

It was called the wig gala. Right.

Like, the Met gala.

We were getting where we couldn't pay the bill. PG&E asked customers about their biggest concerns so we could address them one by one.
That's terrifying. That's fair.
Joe, Regional Vice President, PG&E. We have to run the business in a way that keeps people safe, but it starts driving costs down.
I would love to see that. We're on our way.
I hope so. PG&E electricity rates are now lower than they were last year.

Come on, who is it? Our podcast, Hasta Abajo, is where sports, music, and fitness collide, and we cover it all. De arriba, hasta abajo.
Sit-downs with real game changers in the sports world, like Miami Dolphins CMO Priscilla Shoemate, who is redefining what it means to be a Latina leader. It all changed when I had this guy come to me.
He said to me, you know, you're not Latina enough. First of all, what does that mean? My mouth is wide open.
Yeah. History makers like the Sucar family who became the first Peruvians to win a Grammy.
It was a very special moment for us. It's been 15 years for me in this career.
Finally, things are starting to shift into a different level. Listen to Hasta Ajo on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Brought to you by Novartis, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports Network. How did you become popular on the internet before you even started a rap career? Because my mom, she had a name for herself.
My mom always dated the drug dealers and all of that. So she was kind of like tricking Trina.
That was my godmom. And she just was one of those.
She wasn't a rapper, but she grew up with the celebrities of Miami. So then she had a daughter.
You mentioned Trina is your your godmother. Is that why you got in the rap? Mm-mm.
What happened? Why did you get in the rap? I ain't going to lie. JT called me one time and was like, Carisha, let's rap.
I'm like, what? Let's do what? Who did? JT. Okay.
She called me one time. I was like, that shit.
I used to have beef. We used to have beef.
And where we was from, she wanted to make a diss track about these girls. but we ended up going to the studio and making a song called F***er.
So she actually... How you gonna make a diss track about girls if somehow you make one of those empty dudes? I don't know because the beat was like F*** daddy.
We had Sam Pukaya. Yeah.
It was F***er. We just started dissing.
Is it true that you used to go to trick daddy pool parties? Mm-mm. You didn't know? Probably not like his adult pool parties, but I've been in his videos.
Right. But I've never been to one of his pool parties.
Mm. What about Rick Ross? You know Ross? Yeah, I know Ross.
I like Ross. Ross used to hang with my brother, Daddy.
Mm-hmm. But yeah, I know Ross.
So who came up with the idea of the City Girls? So me and JT just, we was two friends, childhood friends. We started rapping.
And then once we got signed to QC, coach K named us the city girls. And then because you had city girls and then you had the hot boys.
And then, and then he was just like city girls. Like every, every love from the city.
That's true though. Right.
Every love from the city. Did you ever think that love from the city did you ever think that you would so when you were growing up you were in miami and you were doing what you were doing did you ever think did you envision this because what did you want to be as a child a mortician lord this girl want to be a funeral i mean you always go have but damn.
I wanted to be a mortician.

I don't know why.

I just wanted to know what happened when you died, life after death.

I was just like-

You still not going to know.

I know, but I just felt like they would bring me closer.

I don't know.

Cutting up my body.

You're not scared of dead people?

They dead.

I mean, not like you dead.

Yeah, but they can't hurt you, but they can make you hurt yourself. Yeah.
You know they have reflexes. Jump up.
Yeah. I ain't going to let me down.
That would be up out of that thing so quick. Growing up, what was your favorite group growing up? My favorite group growing up? Were you, what's TLC, SWB, or Skate? SWB.
That I hit song it's weekend my niece I can hardly see hey I ain't got no business singing that song mmhmm mmhmm see you held it down you held a group down when JT went to jail did you give a big check when you came home what I ain't gonna lie I was broke as hell damn I told her I was like JT went to jail. Did you give a big check when you came home? I ain't going to lie.
I was broke as hell. Damn.
I told her, I was like, JT, listen. I ain't going to be able to keep spending this show money for you.
Because it's like, it's so much that come out. Like, you know, you got a lawyer, you got to pay the lawyer.
You got a business manager. You got to pay management.
Like, and you got to split 50-50. So I was making it by, but it wasn't crazy money at the time.
You know, like, we'll get like a little show. It's like $30,000.
You got to do management. You got to do lawyer.
You got to do this and that. So, I mean, she was able to come home with some money, but it wasn't like, I ain't finna see it.
Like, yeah, I just gave her a big check. No.
No, no big check. But it was Drake that really helped put the City Girls on because he featured you guys on one of his songs.
Mm-hmm. Was that the big break that you guys got? Mm-hmm.
In my feelings. Yeah.
Yeah. Shout out to Drake.
So, obviously, you say shout out to Drake. Drake, your boy.
I fuck with Champagne Papi. Yeah.
Always, you know? I feel like Drake was just so genuine. Like, he just literally came.
I remember when they told us, like, Drake, what y'all on this song? We was like, what? Right Right. Went in the studio, we recorded a song.
You know, he did the video.

He brought me out of New Orleans.

We performed.

I met him in Miami.

He just always just, like, show love, and it was genuine, so.

With that being said, if Kendrick called you and said he wants you to jump on a song, you cool or no?

I don't think Kendrick would call me for a song, to just be honest, so.

You don't think he's going to get no feature with Carisha?

Nah, just stay with Drake. Drake put you down.
Yeah. Yeah.
Who's been your favorite artist? I mean, Usher, Lil Durk, Juicy J, Mooney, Doja, Lotto, Cardi B, Lil Baby, Jacquees, Jacquees. Who's been your favorite? I ain't going to lie, I love me some Usher.
You know what? I got this for you. You go to Usher's residency.
You got a man. I went.
Okay. He do.
I'm not doing the cherries. You're not doing the cherries? You ain't going to be grinding.
You ain't going to be backing it up on him. I mean, I've been to Usher.
I done perform with Usher. I performed with Usher in Vegas.
And I did back it up on Usher a couple of times. When you had a man? Mm-hmm.
What'd he say? Nothing. It's work.
That ain't work. That ain't no damn work.
It is work when you perform it, though. I think you got to have like a company, man.
You got to have a man that's like a businessman and just know that position. But I do like Usher.
I love Sexy Red. I feel like Sexy Red just get the party going.
I love Dolce. You're right.
You look a mess hoe. Cardi's your girl, too.
Yeah. What's Cardi like behind the scenes? She got a good personality.
She cool. Cardi, she like a real bitch.
Is Meg still your favorite rap girlfriend? I love Meggie. I love Meggie.
We are curious, so we just naturally connect. Let me ask you this.
The female rappers, there are a lot of you guys today. If you're not listening to your song, who are you listening to? A lot of them.
What do I get for my birthday? What do I get for my birthday? Well, you know what? And I've asked some of these women this. I've had glow on and glow.
Why do women have so much beef in the rap game? I think it's an ego thing. I think women have egos and I think it's just getting to like a, you know, like you, sometimes you just you showing too much love you dick right and it just become like an ego thing like me I'm just like a natural support like if I work with you I fuck with you if I like that music I like that music and I'm not looking at it like oh I'm doing this I'm doing that like if I fuck with you I'll fuck with you.
You got to caught in the middle of the beef because JT was beefing and that's your partner and you ain't got no issue with these other ones. So you were smack dab in the middle.
How you navigate that? I just think that like it just depends on how deep the beef is and what the beef is about. You get what I'm saying? That's what it all boils down to.
If it's about some bullshit, that shit about some bullshit, but if it's deeper than rapping, it's like, you know. Y'all need to figure this out, though.
Don't you wish y'all could just get in the room? I don't know if you got beef, but I'm saying y'all, and I've used that term loosely, but don't you wish that the women that have beef could just get in the room and figure this out? Yeah. And once you realize that it ain't really that serious.
I honestly feel like we all got a story. We all come from somewhere.
Like we all trying to make it out. We all trying to feed somebody.
We all got like kids. At this point, we too grown to be beefing because at the end of the day, we ain't finna fight.
Right. We ain't finna see each other and really fight.
Right. So what the fuck we doing? Right.
We just going back and forth on the internet. We all got security.
We ain't finna see each other. We ain't finna get dirty.
So it's just like, you know, it's just entertainment. Right.
And I just feel like we stronger together. So I wish everybody could come together.
You called DJ Academics and that said, bro, why you speaking on women? You got a problem with him. You don't like him? I mean, I don't have a problem with him.
I just feel like as a blogger, I feel like everybody have a job to do. You get what I'm saying? Like, I just was saying with the share room, the breakfast club, like, this is your job.
And it's all about how you speak on a topic. Like, you can say whatever you want to say about me, but you ain't got to call me a bitch.
You ain't got to call me a hoe. You can just say, like— But you did all that? Yes.
Like, you're done. You're this.
It just be so personal. It's just like, I ain't never met you a day in my life.
Right. I don't mind you doing your job as a blogger or whatever you are.
So you don't like my music. Yeah, you can.
You start calling me out of my name. You can criticize me.
You can say whatever because everybody have a right to open. But when it get personal, like, yeah, I'm so glad you got shot at.
And da, da, da, da. Like, my car got shot up.
And he, like. Damn.
Yeah, like, my car got shot up when I was six months pregnant. And when he wrote the story, he was like, I thought you'd keep a baby clock with you.
It's like, what's wrong with you? Like, I could have lost my life and my child life. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can talk about the story, but why it's so personal? I never met you.
I never saw you in person. Like, why is it so personal? You know? And it's just like, even like as time went by, that was like the first time that I really like noticed who he was.
Because it was like very hurtful. Like, I was just like, damn, I almost lost my life.
And it was something that was just like, it, like, as time went by, that was, like, the first time that I really, like, noticed who he was. Because it was, like, very hurtful.

Like, I was just, like, damn, I almost lost my life.

And there was something that was just, like, in my face.

And then it was just, as time and time went by, he was just so disrespectful.

And I'm just, like, well, God damn.

Like, everybody got an opinion.

I can't put a gun to everybody's head that got an opinion.

But it's just, like, you just take it so far.

Like, it's, like, yes! Excuse me? What's the problem? I would love to sit down and talk about it, though. Would you have him on your podcast? I would.
Because I just want to know, like, what I ever done to you? You can feel the way you feel, but why is it so like... Why does it seem so personal? Why it's so personal? You can tell me right now, like, Miami, you trash.
I'm going to ask you, like, what... What makes you think makes you think that yeah or what can I do like I'm gonna we gonna have that conversation but it's not like you so it's like oh my god you're a man like quality control won't release your music is it true they won't release your music because why do you don't think I'm not assigned not a science of quality.
You're not anymore? No. I don't know.
I just think as an artist, I think that we get in our head. Because when you have so much success on that freshman album, everybody be wanting that.
They expect so much more. You get what I'm saying? It becomes so much pressure.
People really strip you away from your personality. They'll love you and big you up for who you are like i love carisha because and then like i thought why they tell you down for it they don't like you for that reason you need to evolve you need to be something right and then you are getting your head and you just start overthinking the process and you just like maybe i'm not good enough and then it just become a whole thing it's like i'm not gonna say you get insecure but you just like overthink the process and it's just like you want to please everybody but you can't please everybody in the same reason why they used to love you they don't they don't love you no more so it's just like you know you start trying to like create new things that come up with new things and it's like this ain't really me but i'm trying something different and it's just like what if i do this and they don't hit and it's just like you got to keep going, but I'm trying something different.
And it's just like, what if I do this and they don't hit?

And it's just like, you got to keep going back to the drawing board.

Right.

What have you learned about fame?

You got to just keep going no matter what.

They love you one minute, they hate you one minute,

but you got to just keep going.

You got to just stay consistent.

You got to put in the time.

You got to put in the effort.

You got to just go no matter what.

What's the best thing about fame? What's the worst thing about it? The worst thing about it is no privacy. But the best thing about it is, I'm not going to lie, like when you go out there sometimes, like last night I went to an event, and I'm like, sometimes I feel like, damn, everybody just hate me.
Like the whole world is just like, I'm just. You think that? I get in my mood so I feel like that.
Like, I just be feeling like, damn, everybody just hate me. The whole world's just like, I'm just- You say that? I get in my moods when I feel like that.
I just be feeling like, damn, how I overcome this shit? How I get to this point? I ain't do nothing to nobody. And then it's just like, when I get outside- Are you reading the internet? Because it's hard for me to believe that people that interact with you, that see you, give you the impression that they hate you.
That's where I was going with it. So, like, on the internet, it's just, I just, I feel like, damn, I don't know.
It ain't real, they fake. And then, like, last night, so many people stopped me that it kind of, like, I left in tears a little bit.
I'm just like, oh, my God. Like, I really got to get outside.
I got to really get out the internet. They was like, keep going.
We love you. We here to support you.
We love you.

And even the haters on the internet, when they see you in person, they want to take a picture and get an autograph.

Yes.

But the love outside last night just gave me that reassurance that I need.

Because I ain't going to lie to hate just be a little loud sometimes.

Yeah.

Hate is always louder than applause.

Yeah.

Is fame what you thought it would be?

Absolutely not. What did you think it would be? Lights, camera, action.
You didn't realize that so much came with fame. It's very like you really got to put up a persona.
Like it's just, ooh, this industry, baby. Do you feel like society pushed women to get cosmetic surgery, be it BBL, fillers, things of that nature? Why do you feel that? Because it's just like, when you got a natural body, you look like a little boy.
You don't got no sex appeal. You this and you that.
When you do get the BBL, it's like, oh my God, your body fake. It's like, if you're natural, they hate you.
If you got a BBL, they hate you. What do you want? I'm going to just use this Lizzo for instance.

Yeah.

Everybody was like, oh, my God, she's so fat.

She looks so good now.

Right.

Now it's like, oh, my God, ew.

She done had surgery.

She done got life.

Yeah, like, oh, my God, she need to stop.

Pick a side.

Mm-hmm.

What do you want?

Who that told me? Oh, Cash Dog. Cash Dog told me men getting plastics are getting surgery now.
They are. And I hate that.
What they getting? They getting the little app. The app? It's the app? Yes.
So they getting the... Yes.
And you can see it. Because you know, I'm going to tell you a secret.
When you get lipo, you have like two little dots. Dots.
Like, as a man, don't do that.

I just already have like little.

So you be looking too.

You be looking down.

I be looking.

I be like.

Damn.

I could spot a fake ad from a mile away.

I'm on your ass.

I don't like that. Damn.
But I'm not the one to judge, though. You don't? Can I ask you this? Because a lot of you mentioned on the internet.
Why do you feel like a portion of our community lives and looks to tear people like yourself, mine, and others in the community that have had a level of success, why do they feel they need to tear us down? I don't know. It's because it's like we are toward bad people not supposed to be successful that when we see white people, we just think it's normal.
Everything they do is normal. Right.
They could just do anything. It's like, yeah, they were spray-sided.
They was borrowing money. It's like, it's natural to them.
Like a white person could do coke and it's like, they rich, they do coke. A black person do coke and it's just like, oh, you're a cokehead.
You know, like it's just like, it's a stereotype of like white people is just like borrowing money. This is what they do.
They supposed to get money, but we're not supposed to. Yeah, and it's like when a black person do it, we just get toed down for every little thing.
It's like we're not supposed to have it. We're not supposed to celebrate.
You sold your soul. We sold our soul.
We can't do it. We can't have fun.
I could be right now just having a good time. Like, oh, she's twerking.
A white person could be f***ing it up. Oh, she's having a ball.
Why I ain't having a ball? Why I got to be twerking? You know what I'm saying? Like, I think that I, you know, it's just the way that it's. They celebrate you, and then they're like, she doing too much.
Yeah. Yeah.
A white person can deadass do drugs. It's absolutely normal.
Black person do drugs. They get tore down for it.
It's just like, oh, my my God, like what's the difference? How do we,

how do we,

how do we work together?

And that's one of the biggest things.

Like,

man,

it seems like they work together and they don't care

if one has more than the other.

As long as you getting yours,

I'm getting mine,

we happy.

They protect each other.

But it seems like,

they could go shoot up a school,

they're going to take on the McDonald's,

baby.

We shoot up a school,

we dead upon arrival.

Like, I don't know.

I don't know if that's how they taught, but they just stick together.

Why can't we stick together?

I don't know.

I don't know what.

But I don't know.

Like, I don't know what it is with black people.

It's just like we can't stand to see each other just thriving.

Like, I don't know if it's like a, I'm supposed to have it.

I want you to get high, but I don't want you to get too high.

Yeah.

I don't want you to get high to me now.

Right. Right.
And it's like, look, I don't want you to get too high. Yeah.
And I want you to get higher than me now. Right.

Right.

And it's like, look, I worked my tail off to be successful.

You're mad about results you didn't get for the work you didn't put in.

Right.

I worked my tail off.

I worked nonstop.

You say I worked too much and I see why you're single.

But when you see me benefit some of the things, now I had to sell my soul.

But what happened to the work that I was doing that you saw that I was doing? Amen. Can the pastor preach? You get that? Yes.
So let me ask you a question. When you were in this, your accent, I mean, you very Miami-ish.
Did they try to change that? Did they try to get you to talk? I'm not going to lie, no. Really? They let you be you.
I'm not going to lie. I can honestly say Coach K, that's one thing.
He, like, I'm this type of person I'm always trying to like better myself. I ain't going to lie.
If I face any type of criticism, I take, like if a person saying like she need to are taking their stuff, I'm like, okay, let me go get a speaking coach. I'm always trying to better myself.
Like, I'm never going to, like, disregard what people are telling me. Like, I feel like that's the only way you can grow.
So, and I always be like, I want to just, like, do it. They're like, nah, Miami, like, you got to be you.
Yeah. You would never got here if it was for you.
We can't do you for this reason. Like, don't change yourself.
Right. And I'll be like, really? For real? Because it just seems like, and it's just like, nah.
So, it's just like, mm-mm. I think that's the best thing thing i went through that same thing when i got on television i felt i needed to talk a certain way i need to articulate and enunciate and have the alliteration of everything you asked me what i was doing before when i was warming my voice up to get ready to do this interview and but it was once i saw like i embraced who i was i'm from the south i'm from rural south georgia.
I have a heavy colloquial dialect. Yeah.
It's who I am. I think that was like one of my hardest challenges for the podcast.
Me like being an interviewer. This is like I'm so hard on myself with my accent and I'm like such a shy speaker.
Like if the cameras wasn't here we could have a whole conversation. I'm just like articulate myself so well.
But like once the cameras get the road and I get like stumbling over my words trying to figure out am I saying the right way? Am I using the right sentences? And I think that like that was like one of the hardest hardships that I had as an interviewer. Like trying to just be so political and say the right word.
You're trying to be somebody you're not and you can't. Because at the end of the day you can be you better than anybody else can be you.
Yeah. When you try to be somebody else, you can do it for a couple of minutes.
But after a while, you're going to revert back because that's who you are. That's what you know.
Right. Like season one, I had so much fun.
I was just out there getting into the smoke. Season two, I tried to switch it up and then try to just be so professional that I was just like, you know what? I got to go back to being me.
So what did you think when Coco Gauff shouted you out when she said fluid? She said period. I was like, I know that's right.
Like fluid out. Fluid out sounds so much better than flowing out.
Yeah. Like I got fluid out, you know? And I just be missing those days when I was just able to just be myself, have fun to be free, you know? Yeah.
You ever been flown out? You ever been fluid out? Always. Damn.
Surely did. Mm-hmm.
You catch that plane, huh? Thank you. Same day? Not the same day.
You can't call me the same day unless we locked in. We've been together for a while.
But if we just met, I need time to get myself together. And I got to really think, do I want to go and see this person over here? Yeah.
You got the kids. Okay, you got the kids situated.
I see y'all. I've been thinking about it.

We were getting where we couldn't pay the bill. PG&E asked customers about their biggest concerns so we could address them one by one.
That's terrifying. That's fair.

Business. Music.
Podcasting. So, what is the thing? What is the number one thing that you learned about business? You got to make sure your business is great.
You got to have a lawyer. You got to read over contracts.
You got to make sure that you like own everything. I think that ownership is so important.
I think that like when I first became a rapper and when I first started getting money, I just wanted money. I ain't able to vote what the contract said.
I was signing that ass closed. As long as I had my money, I just felt like.
But now, once you really get into the business and you know the business, you need to make sure ownership is everything. You get equity.
That's most important. Longevity.
Making sure that you don't even have to work again. You still don get paid right what's the one thing that you wish you have learned what are you know you know now that you had known when you first got into this business like you need a good lawyer you need a good lawyer and make sure you know what the fuck no contract say because it's not pay pay hey you're gonna be fighting for your life and you'll be fighting damn hello what you learned about selling product? Because you got your board game Is there anything else you sell? Right now I sell my board game I got merch But marketing is key It is Like I'm not going to lie Marketing Is going to sell the product Like you can You can just I can see a commercial I can just see like Just marketing It's like god damn I want that product just based off of the marketing of the product.
I think that marketing is key. You have a marketing team? How do you sell your board game? You put it on your site? Yeah.
I do it on Instagram. I sell it on Amazon.
I normally just, right now, I do all my stuff through social media. Yeah.
Have you tried to get it into Target and other? So right now it's a drinking game and it's like a little. Yeah, yeah.
So, you know, it can't really go into like Target right now because it's a drinking game and it's like 21 or older. It's a little sexual.
So it got to go in like sex stores and stuff like that. You look at like women that have had success.
You look at Rihanna. You look at Kim K.
You look at some of them. Is that kind of the business model? That's kind of the direction that you want to have? Yes, I'm not going to lie.
Kim Kardashian and Rihanna is what I aspire to be. I love music.
Don't get me wrong. Music is not my end goal.
I really feel like I was put here to be the next Kim K, the next Rihanna, the semi-products. Right.
The podcast. What's been your favorite moment on your podcast? I ain't gonna lie Kevin Gates.
Bitch, being of a free theme, you know what I'm saying? Kevin Gates, like, he was my first real interview and he came and he just, he brought the energy. He brought the smoke.
Like, when I'ma say you ready to get to the smoke and he ain't hold back, I don't think that that podcast could have popped off no other way besides him because he was ready for everything. A lot of more guests that came on, they was like a little more reserved.
They want to know the questions beforehand. He was just like, what's up? I'm here.
And that was my favorite interview. Mariah the Scientist did reveal on your podcast that she used to date Lil Yachty.
Did you know that beforehand? Yeah, I did. A lot of people didn't know that, did they? No.
Why do you think she revealed that? Because she was thug. I think it's just a part of her story.
She made a song about it. And I think that I did my research and my homework.
So when I was able to just really bring it out of her, I think she was ready to tell the truth. Again, we talk about this hate.
You won the best podcast. You won it twice.
And you're like, hold on. She ain't do but two episodes.
She ain't been able for this and I've been blah, blah, blah. Right.
Okay, I'm putting it into perspective, right? Okay. You see how when Cat Williams came on here and he sucked that motherfucker through the roof and that was the most talked about that can get you the best podcast because that was the most talked about episode of the season you understand like you brought something new you brought something different he came over here and set this motherfucker off like a firecr So it's just like, I feel like at the time my podcast was just different.

Like I'm on there,

we doing hookah,

we playing games.

It was just like a whole different vibe.

It wasn't just like the regular podcast

where it's just audio.

It was also visuals.

It's also aesthetic.

It's also just the style of my interview.

Like how I was bringing people on,

how I was asking the questions.

Like I'm just dead ass.

Like why this person took your car back?

Huh?

Huh?

That was what everybody was tuned in to now.

You know,

people moving to something so different.

Like they'll be on this today

I'm just dead ass, like, why this person stuck your car back, huh? Right. That was what everybody was tuned in to now.
You know, people moving to something so different. Like, they'll be on this today and be on something tomorrow.
Correct. That was just now and it was in real time.
Mm-hmm. And I just think that's what it was.
They'll be hating, huh? Yeah. You were going back and forth with Joe Budden.
Are y'all cool now? I really don't. Like, he's older.
You know, I don't really know him neither. And I just feel like I don't have no problem.
I can't be for a man. I'm a woman.
You know, like, I'm in my 30s. I don't know.
Like, he's older. You know, I don't really know him neither.
And I just feel like I don't have no problem.

I can't be for a man or a woman.

You know, like, I'm in my 30s.

I don't know how old he already is.

That's a man.

I ain't got no beef with him.

Acting.

You want to get into acting?

I do.

I really want to. You got a lot going.

You want to have a lot going on.

You got your board game going on.

You got your career going on.

You want to, like.

Thank you. You want to have a lot going on.
You got your board game going on. You got your career going on.
You want to like.

I want to do everything.

I feel like the sky's the limit.

I feel like everybody always box me in.

I feel like I'm the underdog.

I can't rap.

I can't act.

I can't do this.

I can't do that.

And I feel like I'm just like one of God's favorite.

He always just, every time they say no, he say yeah.

Right.

Every time he say no.

Because you don't be a man. So what was that like? It was fun.
You nervous? I was so nervous because I had such a serious role. It wasn't like, okay, you could go and be Markeisha or you could go and just be who you are.
I had to really tap into emotions. Your husband just got killed.
Right. And you have to ask this person, where's your husband?

He's never coming home again.

I try to tap into reality.

Like I said, losing my child father.

I try to go into that.

So my tears was weird, but the emotions just didn't.

Just didn't.

So it didn't come out like you wanted to.

Right.

I tried like 15 times though. But, you know, that's 50's show.
And 50, you know, to his credit, he be putting his people on. I love what he's done.
He's building that big studio. I think it's in Shreveport.
It's going to have a production company. So what's 50 like? I'm not going to lie.
I didn't meet him on set, but I called him because they sent me before the episode aired. They sent me to review it, and I called him.
I said, 50, I don't like this. It was horrible.
Please don't put me out there like that. I don't want to face no backlash.
He was like, you know what? You got to start from somewhere. This putting you in the game.
People will always have something to say. You got to start from somewhere.
Like, this putting you in the game. Like, people will always have something to say.
Like, you got to start from somewhere. Like, what they talking about? Like, you going to be good.
I like it. Like, get out your head.
Stop worrying about what the people going to say. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, this going to open doors for you.
And when I had that conversation, I was just like, damn, you right. Right.
Would you do reality TV? Ooh, I tried it. I did.
I had a reality TV show, and I just felt like it's not really reality. You know, like it's a mix of reality with a little drama.
And I feel like if I'm ever going to do reality TV, it have to be reality. Like I want to sell my life.
Like I don't want to make a storyline, make something dramatic. Like I'm not really into that.
You mentioned earlier that you were involved with a drive-by while you were pregnant. Were you the intended target or they were after your baby's father? You're not sure.
I honestly don't know. But it was the craziest experience ever.
And I just know that God is really God loving me. Because all I know is I was leaving the studio.
I stopped to a stop sign.

I heard gunshots.

I'm like, oh my God, somebody's shooting.

And I like smelt the gunfire.

I'm like, they shooting at me.

I'm like big, pregnant.

Wow.

Jump out the car and she started running.

Hold on.

Why did you just take off?

Because they shot my tires out.

My car, it was shot up like 22 times.

They shot your car 22 times?

Mm-hmm.

And then it hit you once?

I showed you the pictures.

Wow.

I'm going to show you the pictures after this interview, I promise you.

Did you?

So, you're like, damn, they shooting.

Damn, they shooting at me?

Because it was so like...

It's real, huh?

It felt like when I heard it, because I'm at a stop sign, I just heard gunshots.

I'm like, damn, they shooting.

But it wasn't until I smelled the gunpowder that it was like they were shooting at me. But in the instance, it just sounded so far away.
Right. So you take off running.
Did they follow? My phone was there. That's why I don't think it was for me, because once I got out of the car and started running, the gunshots stopped.
I don't know if they saw I was pregnant or what, but once I got out of the car, my first instance was just get out of the car because the car wouldn't go. Right.
Got out and I ran and it was just like. Did they ever find out who did it? Damn.
Would you ever move away from Miami? No. You got to stay at the bottom.
I love Miami. I done travel so many places and I just fly.
It's nothing like Miami. I've been there my whole 31 years.
My mom's side of the family is from there and my dad's side of the family is from there. So my whole family is from Miami.
It's not like my mom is from Miami, my dad is from somewhere else. Like my whole family is in Miami and I've been there my whole life and I just love it.
You mentioned your mom, you have two kids. What type of mom are you? I'm like a, I'm very.
You're a pushover mom? No, I got good kids. Thank God.
My son is 11. My daughter is five.
My son is so respectful. He's like a, he loves school.
Like he loves school. Like he do his homework.
He made A's and B's. I don't have to be on him by nothing.
So I just feel like, by the grace of God, I just get to be a regular mom. I check on him.
He's talking to me about things. I ain't no pushover, though.
Hey, that's going on. Punishment.
Damn. Is it true that your baby daddy, you talk to the women that's going to date him to let him know what's going on in you and his situation? Wait, wait.
Can you say that? Your baby daddy. Who? Like when he dates.
Your oldest son, father's deceased, right? Mm-hmm. So this new one.
Mm-hmm. Y'all together? No.
Y'all not together? Mm you talk? So what's it like? Like, he's dating.

Mm-hmm.

You're dating.

Mm-hmm.

Do you introduce your people to him?

He ain't going for nothing.

I ain't not going to lie.

He don't want to.

He don't want no part of that, huh?

No.

He ain't like nobody I'm with.

He ain't cool.

He ain't nothing.

He just, that shit's my baby daddy.

That shit's my baby daddy. That shit's my baby daddy.

But do you talk to his people?

Mm-mm.

I don't even care.

I am going to be a little bit more. that he just, that shit's not baby daddy.
That shit's not baby daddy. But do you talk to his people? I don't even care.
I ain't even gonna lie. But they gonna be around your daughter? No, they not.
Whoa, whoa, damn. No, not like that.
I'm the type of woman that is just like, I trust him enough that anybody he bring around my child, I know that. They good with...
I'm not into all that little girl childish, don't bring

da-da-da-da-da, but I'm not

really too fun of who he dating.

That's on him. I don't even give a f***.

Good luck. What about kids on social media?

Your son has a social media account? You allow him

on social media? Yeah, he got a social media

account, but he don't post. My kids is kids.

I don't like them on social media.

Social media is too... They got too many opinions.
Yeah. But my kids, baby.
Yeah, you don't kids is kids. I don't like no more social media.
Social media is too, they got too many

opinions. Yeah.
But my kids, baby.

Yeah, you don't play about that. I'm going to hell.

Hell in jail about

mine.

I mean, do you feel kids are

off limits on social media? Or they should be

off limits? Yeah, I think so. I think that kids

is innocent, you know?

But, you know, you see little baby

and his baby's mom, they

having to respond. Do you think that's a mistake?

Just let it, I mean, or know? But, you know, you see little baby and his baby's mom, they're having to respond. Do you think that's a mistake? Just let it? I mean, I'm sure it's easy to say you should just let it go, but that's my child and I'm going to be protected.
And that's what I'm saying. I hate that they ain't in a position to even have to defend their kids.
Right. Those kids are kids.
Let them express themselves. This is a kid that we're talking about, probably in elementary school.

It's not a 16, 17-year-old.

Why do I have to get on the internet and defend my child? Right. The internet are so negative.
They do. People behind a computer and they're saying anything.
Right. I can't deal with that.
I can't deal with that. I would have been like, oh, my God.
mm- oldest son father tragically had his life taken, and you realized that now, damn, I got to raise him on my own. Was he old enough to remember his dad, know his dad? Was he old enough? So he was turning five, and now he's 11.
He didn't really understand at the time. Like when I had to explain it to him, he was like, my dad is with God now.
And I'm like, yeah. But now he understand.
I think that he sit with his emotions and his thoughts. And he's, he had like a, his dad raised him.
So he's able to like know that his dad was in his life. But yeah.
Mom went to prison. So let me ask you a question.
Your mom go to you. So now you got to take over because now you got to be the mom.
Did you have any resentment towards your mom? I want to say resentment, no, because I saw my mom. Like, I know that my mom went to prison.
Her mother was on drugs her whole life. My mom said, like, she mother not on drugs.
So it's just like me as a mom, it's just me just understanding, like seeing my grandmother on drugs, I understood why she had to do what she did. So I couldn't ever judge her because it's like I had a beautiful life as a child.
My mom did what she needed to do. So I can never blame her because she didn't have a mom.
So right so it was just like I understood it like I was able to like understand like I'm from Miami right my grandma was on drugs oh like my mama had to do what she had to do um were you in a direct relationship yes yes I was and some I don't wish y'all nobody I think that domestic violence is like real

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and

and Yes, I was. And? Some, I won't wish you on nobody.
I think that domestic violence is like real. And I was young.
Do you think that like, I won't say that you think that it's love, but it's like when you go through it the first time, you may think like, oh my God, he loved me. He put his hands on me.
But it's like after a while, you just learned that it's like, that is not okay. Right.
And you have to get that person help. You have to.
And it's something that like you should never tolerate. Like the first time you got to leave.
What would you say would someone in a similar situation? You went through it at a very young age. So what would you tell a young woman that's going through a very similar situation? Leave.
Because I think that like oftentimes you feel like it's love. Like you think like, oh, this person loves me.
That's not love. Because I think that oftentimes you feel like it's love.
You think, oh, this person loves me. That's not love.
I think that you should leave. Was it hard for you to leave? It was.
It was hard for me to leave because again, I was young. I felt like it was love.
I tolerated it. I thought the last time was the last time.
I was like, you know what? I can't do this no more like this. Did he beg you to come back?

Yeah.

And you're like, nah, I'm good.

Yeah, I was like, nah.

But I got him help, though.

Did you?

Yeah.

Wow.

He had to go to anger management classes.

And he came back and was like, you know what?

Thank you for that.

I needed that.

Like, I needed that help.

Like, if it wasn't for you doing what you did, like, I wouldn't.

You know, like, it was able to help me grow. Have you ever dated a man that was jealous of your success? I won't say jealous, but a little insecure.
It's hard dealing with you, though, man. It is, because it's like, sometimes I be needing you to understand that it's just like, it's just work.
Like, it's not serious. It's really not.
Like, I feel like as an entertain an entertainer i want to be able to entertain i want to be able to do my job i don't want to be held back that's the only way i'm be able to thrive how's your mental health mentally i'm not gonna lie 2025 thank god i feel good i'm finding a happy space like last year was like one of the darkest time of my life and i just i was so excited to turn 30 like I was like, oh my God, I'm turning 30. I'm going to be 30.
And it was just like the minute January 2024 hit, it was the worst year of my life. Why was it so bad? Just overcoming just everything that I was going through.
Like, you know, just my relationship, just my career, just everything. It was just like a lot at one time and I was just going through everything,

trying to navigate.

And this year,

I'm just taking control.

Like, I'm just having fun.

We were getting where we couldn't pay the bill. PG&E asked customers about their biggest concerns so we could address them one by one.
That's terrifying. That's fair.
Joe, Regional Vice President, PG&E. We have to run the business in a way that keeps people safe, but it starts driving costs down.
I would love to see that. We're on our way.
I hope so. PG&E electricity rates are now lower than they were last year.

Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This past season on my podcast, Here's the Thing, I spoke with more actors, musicians, policy makers, and so many other fascinating people, like writer and actor Dan Aykroyd.
I love writing more than anything. You're left alone, you know, you do three hours in the morning, you write three hours in the afternoon, go pick up a kid from school, and write at night, and after nine hours, you come out with seven pages, and then you're moving on.
And actor and comedian, Jack McBrayer. The most important aspect is the collaboration with people that I like, I trust, are talented.
That has been the most amazing gift to me about this crazy business that we've chosen, meeting these people who have such diverse talents

and you're able to create something together.
