Did you see that there were more people like listening and getting that information? That was some good gems like it really was. And it's all about being aware, Like that's number one part of self protection. Being aware. You should have saw your face when you I mean what when he was like you gotta you know you could use your finger? You could you just like, yeah, stab you in the eye. That's right. Yes. I grew up a tom boy. I got two big brothers that used to put boxing gloves on us and just you we was staying there and then all of a sudden you'd be like, oh wait, let me hit back, Like yeah, but that's the thing. Your body is, your elbow, your knee, all of those cartlett that's that's a weapon. And the man I'm just saying as far as women being not as strong, but the man's parts.

You can't you at you can't grab that like you can with a man, you gonna hurt him. And so so I mean you already know. So without further ado, we gotta bring my guy on.

We got the space, man, whenever you want to come down, come down. We just bought a really really dope nine thousand square foot home. Wow, nine thousands. You gotta see the land over there, I got we gotta come up with the barbecue man over you got more than thirty acres and a mule. Congratulations. That's awesome. That's awesome. And everything is going great. Man. You know, I just got married son. You know, just just really really trying to take advantage of all the opportunities that that God's put in front of me. So I'm excited. That's absolutely. So look, so where do we start, man? For us, Since you know the first time you came on the show, I think you've been on our show like three times or something like that. You know, you you you you families. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, and so we have seen, uh, the gradation of where you have been to where you are and your music and your success, and we're just really proud of you, my brother, because you know, that's one of those things because oftentimes, especially as the men, you know, generally, we fall into certain things and you know, we just kind of lose the momentum unfortunately. But doing really well man, and we're proud of you. So let's let's start there. You know, let's start with you know, uh, the ability for you to Let's start with your music, because that's where it was. Let's start with your music. What do you have going on right now with your music? Oh man? So you know last time we talked that had just put our controller, you know, me and pet Pete Bablo. The record is at over one point six million streams. It's really opened up a lot of doors to me when it comes to the music side. We me and my partner Keys the Mogul also produced the theme song for Neo to Step Up. We go produced well, we produced that and co wrote the record. But that's also opened up some doors when it comes to TV and sync licensing and things of that nature. Right and I mean right now, I literally just signed a brand new deal through UH through Empire Distribution to release my brand new album. So I'm in the process of finishing the album. Getting ready for the roll out, you know, and just how money management deal with santi Music Group and Melinda Santiago, which is a huge manager. Man, she she manages myself, she manages Ray j Rs VP, Bobby Valentino, Scrappy Scarface, a lot of really really dope and amazing talent. So I'm just excited to be in that in that conversation. Nice, oh congratulations just on all of all of those beautiful successes. I appreciate that. I appreciate that. So basically right now, like, where's home Atlanta? Oh you in the acl Yeah, okay, okay, So the weather is nice out there, right, it's here and there. I mean it's a lot of rain, you know, you know, it's crazy this year. I've been here seven years now. This year is the one year that's a lot of rain and things of that nature. So you know, it's it's it's not New York. Well, I'm born and raised the South from is definitely not as cold as New York, right, but it's not as warm and muggy as Florida either, see like right in the middle of that, right, So no, but tell us tell us more about like with the music now, as you you've been, like Charles has says, evolving, and music then changes because when you come in, you know, although hungry, it expands, so your your outlook becomes a little different, you know what I mean, Like even what you said about you know who you just signed with and everything like that, Like what happens with that, with those emotions? Like when you start to write your music, how what does that? Where does that come from? For me, It's always came from my life and what I've went through, right, I mean, growing up in the Bronx and shoots of New York City, I've seen a lot of witnesses a lot, right. But then as I kind of got older, I've learned to also pull from the experiences that people around me go through. And I think that's how the part for me, because I think as an artist, you initially always want to pull from what you're your life, the experience, what you've gone through. But after a while, I was like, Okay, don't I don't told my story so many times on these different records, How do I keep progressing? Right? And I think that is when you start to really become creative and pull from other people's experiences. You know, I can have a conversation with a friend and hear about what they're going through, and I'm like, Oh, that would be a dope song concept. And then I kind of just take that and and format that how I want to and fit it to what I want to do, right, And I think that's the big for me, at least I can't speak for other artists. For me, that's the biggest thing is being creative and finding ways to be creative. When you might be going through a writer's block, you might be going through a creative because we all have that, right. We all have moments where it's like nothing we do makes sense that creatively. So for me, some times I'll pull away and you know, to begin with, I've never been an artist that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, I'm gonna be in the studio and I have to book ahead of time. That's not me, which is why from day one I had to have my own studio, because I'm one of those guys that I love to be creative and create on the spot, and it's never been a hey, I'll be there at Monday at five o'clock. I might wait tonight at three o'clock in the morning with an idea and I'll go into the studio knock it out right. And my music has always been that way. I've been blessed that I've been able to create that way. Not everybody can do that, but for me, that's what it works. Yeah. So the Rolling Stone they named you the Global Artists to Watch, Like, how does that feel? It's still crazy to even think of that, right, I mean Rolling Stone is a global phenomenough of the magazine. Right. I remember as a kid going to the dentists at the doctor's offices, they have all these little magazines on the table, and every time you go somewhere, Rolling Stone was one of those magazines that everybody had. So to be featured by them, to be you know, classified as a global artist to Watch, it's amazing, right, And for me, I appreciate every single accolade that I can ever get, whether it's one person or a million people, to me, still means the same, and I'm just very appreciative of it. Yeah, now that you've had like all of this success, like, who are some artists that you will be looking to kind of collab in the future coming up? You know, I'm really one of those guys that luckily Luckily, I've been able to work with a lot of my heroes in the music. So I'm always trying to find new artists and new talent that might not be as big, but that I'm actually fans of their creativity and what they do, and those are the artists that I want to work with, like of course, you know, I want to work with some of the legends like Daddy Yankee and those guys when it comes to the Latin market. But I'm also looking to expand my sound. I'm doing a lot of Afro Latin Afro records right now, a lot of and piano type of records and and those West African type of type of music. So I'm looking for artists that may not be super mainstream right now, but push me creatively, you know, creatively, to be more creative and to and to step outside the box more when it comes to music. And that's what I want to look for when it comes to creating with other artists. Our books are any books or movies in your future projects of your Yeah, yeah, So shout out to to Melinda and Thiago and Santi Media. They also do books and they just did a book, an autobiography for Ricky Bow that just want to on Amazon, and she keeps telling me that she wants to do an autobiography of me, so we might do one. It's amazing to even think that my life and my story you know, to somebody else could be helpful in that manner, right, it could be something that people can read and learn from and expand from. So that's super, super super dope to me. We got some reality TV stuff coming that we can't just yet, but I'm super excited about that. And really, you know, just trying to find the right projects that make sense for me, right. I've always been somebody that I don't like to jump on too certain things just because it's cool for the moment. I've always been that longevity type of person. So for me, and I keep telling my team, like, I want to make sure that when we do step into that reality TV side or do more movies, that it makes sense for the future of my brand and not just right now. Fantastic And so we talked about the music. Now now let's go into something else, man, because this right here, this beautiful young lady man. Listen, listen, listen, listen. Is she around? Where is she at? Is she around? You. He is with the baby right now, the little baby, baby baby. Yeah, congratulations on that. We got an eight month old man and he is he's everything. He's fantastic. Oh man, fantastic. He got your hands full. So this beautiful wedding, how was it to finally marry you know, the woman in your dream so to speak. Beautiful family, beautiful baby, you know, and you know, just a wedding, you know, just going through that process of you know, someone who also has you know, is a woman at this point, can rival anyone as a business. I mean that's what she is. She's a business. And you know, how does it feel to have someone that's equally yoked and making moves just as yourself. It's amazing. Man, I'm gonna be honest with you. When I first met Christina, we just became really good friends. And I always got to give my guy justin a shout out. Man. He's a celebrity photographer and it was his idea to kind of connect us, and he just thought that we would click. You know, she's Dominican, I'm Dominican. She's from York as well. The funny thing is, let me tell you what's the crazy story about about me and Chris is that. So we met at a red carpet event. One of my songs was chosen for a TV show on AMC and it happened the premiere. So I was there, my sister, Remie Martin was there, remy Ma, a couple other people, and she comes into the until the end of the event. So my public says at the time, had called me. She's like, yo, I got this girl the outside that wants to meet you, you know, just one of Justin's friends. She's beautiful. You need to meet this girl, all right, Okay, cool, no problem. She comes in and we're literally dressed in the same attire. We're both dressed in purple and gold. I never were purple to save my life, right, I was, and really one of those things like you know what I have as to where I wear this. And we were both like you would have thought we were a couple. We were dressed in purple and gold, the same exact stuff. We take our picture. We kind of, you know, just ended up being super cool being friends. A week or two into our friendship, we realized that we literally live a block away from each other in Brooklyn. Wow. Wow, I never met each other, never met at publics and none of that type of stuff. But we literally lived less than two minutes away from each other, and it's just so many Yea, we came, we became super close friends, you know, and we will literally just have conversations just being friends, man. And they just kind of grew from that to being us, going feeling school each other, and then ultimately, you know, getting married and stuff. And it was amazing because, like you said, she's a business in her own right and an amazing relator and the whole real estate game and all that and challenges me to think outside the box, and I challenge her to think outside the box beyond anything else. We were really close friends first, and that's what I keep hearing you say, which people they missed that mark to be friends first, Like that's a major part, because you like each other before it's even loving each other. Yeah. Yeah, she knew me as Nova and that as international Nova because at the time I took like a year off and had no idea who I was and nothing like that. When it came to the music side, and then when she found out, she was like, oh crap, it's too late. I can't get out of this. Ener funny, and so we planned the wedding. You know, shout out to Eddie Long Junior. He's the one that married us, you know, of course his father Eddie Long, you know, the great Eddie Long. Everybody married us. We do this wedding that we thought was going to be something super small and in some it which it was. And then the next morning, when we're on the plane to go to Puerto Rico for our honeymoon, my phone starts going off a million sex messages, a million screenshots. People magazines feature the wedding is one of the top celebrity weddings of twenty twenty three, picking it up, and it was just crazy. It was crazy, and that's so awesome to see that, like people featuring you know, your your wedding as one of the top celebrity because it wasn't it wasn't supposed to be as big then, yeah, and so many people were getting divorced, you know what I mean, And it's just to see that was just like a breath of fresh air, just to see love, you know, just genuine love. And I was just in awe that. But are there any opportunities or any discussions of YouTube partnering with in the real estate industry. Yeah, so we actually started what's called the Nova Agency and it's a real estate company and it's blowing up. I mean, we're doing over a million dollars a month from real estate sales and collaboring with a lot of really really big people on the real estate side of things. That it's really cool because I was able to use the brand that I already created being International Nova, and partner with her brand as a realtor. And it's so funny because she loves music and again, before even known that I'm an artist, she just always loved music and she's always had this idea of combining real estate with music. And she met me and we literally are real estate and music. And I tell you it's been it's even this week has been insane, right, I mean, we just ranked and came in number one for our brokerage in Georgia as the top earners for this month, flag for a zero point five million, And it just keeps getting better, better and bigger and bigger. And you know, we're trying to really maximize and build the foundation for not only us, but you know, I got a son now, so everything, so you know absolutely, that's just you two are already like a power couple, and that's just something that's especially when you're thinking about like celebrity relationships and marriages and the crazy things that are going on now. The you know, I hate to say the Will and Jada, Yeah, I hate to say that, but like just you know, being able to see what you guys are doing and what you're building. I can't wait to see what the future has for you to do. Yeah, And I think you know, I always tell people, man, we're human, right, So if you don't live in this perfect world, in this perfect environment. Everything for me, you know, I've never had a child before, I've never been married before. All these things are new to me, right, So for the learning as we go. But the one thing I will say is it's really amazing to have somebody who never quits on you. You know. I'm I got all these million things going in and out of the house and music and everything else, and I'm always traveling, and you know, she is really a rock behind me, and he's pushing me to keep going for more, you know, and sometimes I'm just like I'm not doing nothing. I'm not in the studio. She's like no going to the studio, go word. You know, it's really dope to have that. And you know, I think that as long as we always keep that and keep family first, I think that, you know, Scott's the limit is baby boys sleeping through the night. Yet some lights he is. It's so crazy. First of all, this kid is a spitting image of me, right, wow, it's insane. Let you look at my baby picture. You look at him identically, and he's just he's corteous. Every time we go out, people stops like is he modeling yet? Like they want to? And it's so it's amazing to me because the kid is so smart and it just slugs me out because I can tell like he'd be watching something as an example, and he'll look at the light and then he'll follow the line and the power line and in the power chord and you can tell his mind is just working out how these things work. So it's to watch that. And he has a couple of teeth already. He's singing Daddy and Dad already. So well when you see him in his crib starting to, you know, do a little salsa and chata and his crib music. The other thing is no matter what type of music is playing, he's just he's just bopping. The minute something comes on, he starts bobbing. It's hilarious. But he is literally a mini mean, it's crazy fantastic. So we talked about the beautiful wife, the beautiful the beautiful baby, the dynamic relationship. We talked about how dynamic your music is, talked about your properties, We talked So what else can we talk about? Let's see here we go. Okay, I never love to put one up compute. We gotta talk about that. You ain't gonna come on, my brother, we gotta salute you for this outside of ga Listen, my brother, we gotta congratulate you for this time. How was this? And you know, how did it feel to win such a prestigious you know, acknowledgement accolade that right there, that's an amazing thing, and I know that it felt great. It's crazy because it's an award for my philanthropy work right community and all that stuff. And I never do that stuff for any accolades. I was just raised to always help and get back and that goes beyond me, that goes to my mom and and for me, from what I understand and what I've been told is the biggest and the most prestigious award that a citizen can receive. Her she was super you know, shout out to Park canon Man who really pushed it through and really wanted me to receive this award. She's an amazing woman and really doing a lot for the community here. But again it's just again, I don't do things for the accolades. I really just love helping people. We just shot a commercial today for Lifeline, for the animal organization. You know, I'm always just trying to figure out ways to help my community, help my people, you know, and Atlanta, Georgia in general. Ever since I moved to Georgia and have opened me with like welcoming with open arms and show me so much love, and it really just means a lot to me. Fantastic, fantastic, my brother, Well, congratulations. Again, it's definitely something that needs to be acknowledged. And you know, when people are doing some great things and you know, being solutions based as to how things can be fixed, you know, that's the platform, that's where we are with what we do. We don't just talk. We want to know how we can resolve and solve issues and problems and things of that nature. And so kudos to you for that. So what else do you have going on? My brother? I mean, you know, you're always you know, spinning, you know, spinning and shuffling a deck and just throwing them out. What else you got coming up? Man? One of the things that we're working on right now that I'm really super proud of is the Ellie Motherhood Foundation. Just started a nonprofit foundation to help single Latin moms. And you know, it was based on my aunt passed away about a year ago from cancer, and when she was passing, I really wanted to do something for her memory. And oh my gosh, oh my, oh, look at that smile. I pick him up. Oh my goodness, I want to I want to squeeze at you. Wow. So happy we're man, bring momyhere, My my, he's a treat right here. Wow, Prince Prince Dior's that is so funny. I'm like almost tearing up. He's so happy. They're gonna get used to TV. He's like, what's what's some king? Are you? Oh? Man, he's a happy baby. He's always happy. You know. He just made his debut. First, guys, the first people to ever see Prince. I haven't been from on Instagram. I haven't so yeah, this is this is princes thank you. We are honored. Yeah, so honored. Look at his first interview. This is his when he becomes so successful and a celebrity. You know, we can say that we paid his first interview. He's a man's fantastic. So that's so funny. So we won't hold you no more. We had you on my brother. Hey, you guys got me. You guys got me. Thanks Mom, We appreciate you, Mom. That was the treatment. What's so we definitely have to have when you guys coming down to Philly Man soon soon. So I mean so so okay, So before we even we even get off and get into anything else, I do want to really stress about the ELI motherhood. Absolutely, I'm really so passionate about this. This this nonprofit. So it's designed to help Latin moms, single Latin moms. We're looking to pay for provide scholarships that can cover tuition, books, food, clothes for their babies, whatever it may be. You know, I came from a single parent home and again with my aunt passing, she was one of my biggest supporters and she was just an amazing woman and unfortunately she died because of cancer. He was on her forties and you know, when we got the news, we would tell that she had six years and literally six months later she passed. Wow, So it really really crushed me. But she was such an amazing woman, amazing spirit, and I wanted to do something in her honor. So we started the Eli Motherhood Foundation. Right now, we've partnered with Bold dot org bo l d dot org and providing a five hundred dollars scholarship. We're doing this four times a year for single moms who are majoring in music, and we're looking to provide again any any help that we can financially when it comes to books, tuition, baby clothes, whatever it may be. And we're looking to kind of blow this up to be as big as as it can be, she said, Bold dot org. Bold dot org, Yes, sir Ah. My Instagram page and all my social media we have different posts and links for it. We're in the process of creating the website and all that's literally brand new. But it's something that I'm really passionate about. And shout out to Leslie and Upscale shout out. Let me give her rounded you can rave and help you really get this corrective and get this perfect and get this out to as many people as possible. You know, I really want to help as many single moms as possible. And and really, you know, again it was my initial idea was for for for Latinas, but really in realities, for brown and black. You know, it's for our people, our communities, you know. I mean, I'm trying to help all single mothers. Again, I was raising a single single parent home and my mom to me, so I saw how hard she worked. I seen her, heard my aunt work and provide for their kids. And I really want to use this to get back and to help our our women in our communities. Wow, let me pull this up. This is there you go. So if you're watching this, I'm gonna just pull this up so everyone can have the opportunity to you can rewind this video. Make sure you rewind this video and share and like and share and subscribe and make sure you follow a lot of what's going on here, because again, this is what we do this for. We do this for the community. We do this for our people. So we all we got because if we don't do it, who will? Right? You know what I mean, and that's that's being truthful, and that's being we are not the people that those in power want to help. Yeah, so we have to help ourselves and we have to keep proviting opportunities for our communities to be able to succeed, you know, and every little bit helps, you know. I mean, I remember, this is this one quote that I'm a huge tooth fox and everybody knows who knows that, But this is one quote that Park said. It always sticks with me. I may not be the person that changes the world, but I guarantee you all sparked the brain that does. That is so deep and so powerful, because not one person can change the world, but we can all do a little bit to help and collectively change what's going on and what was going on in Israel and all these different places. I just think that we as a as as people and as as humanity needs to really come somehow and just show some love man sometimes as need it sometimes, that's right, that's right, Mally Ma Marley, Ma, listen, I want to bring this, uh, Bob Marley, Bob Marley that he always preached about love, Yes, always preached about love, and so I want to bring this up because I don't want to. I be remiss if I don't bring this up, the honorary doctorate degree that you forgot about my brother. Like, man, I'm doing so much, so so many great things. Let's talk a little bit about that. Yeah, you know what it is though, Man, let me be truthful. Yeah, we're doing a lot of things right. But it's still almost unbelievable to me some of these things that that we keep getting blessed with. For this is blessings, right. This ain't just an award for me or because of me. This is a team thing, you know, from my mom to my wife, to kids, to my publicists, to the team, to the label. It takes a village literally, especially because I come up with a million ideas and sometimes they don't all make sense to other people. But you know, this is a team thing, and I appreciate Leslie, I appreciate everybody who really plays a part in this because I have a lot of ideas that I want to put along and I want to pass along and I want to bring to fruition and sometimes I need that person to go like, you know what, nov you go do this. I'm gonna go handle this for and when we got the call that they were going to honor me and provide me with an honorary doctorate degree. I was amazed. And it's not just me, it's me, it's it's a new addition. It's some really big people are getting this award during the ceremony, and it's really dope because again, I've never sat out to do this for the accolades that I have a million people who follow me and like my music. I've always said if I have one person and I can help one person get through their day with my music, and I did my job, and the fact that we keep getting these different blessings coming down, I'm just really appreciative. Man. But yeah, November eighteen, that's remember seventeenth. I'm sorry, I'm receiving the honorary doctorate degree and in a lifetime Achievement award, which is insane to me. But yes, and so humble about it. Well deserved. Well, we really appreciate you, my friend. Is it anything? Uh, make sure listen if you're watching this, make sure you go to bold dot org. When we talk about change makers, this gentleman is one of them. Definitely a fantastic h you know, nonprofiting in something that's supporting a community. So make sure that you jump on make sure you go to bold dot org yea dot org type in Ellie Motherhood Scholarship. And we're taking applications. Man, we're gonna be again trying to do this four times a year. We're trying to help as many people as possible. Yeah. Absolutely, And again come back to this video. Make sure you tell someone. Make sure you tell somebody to support. Here's the link. You can put this link in your addressing. Just go ahead and make it happen. Make sure you support good causes man. And so yeah, this is what we do. We try to amplify the things that's helping the community. Fantastic, my brother, is it anything any last words you would like to say to the community out there? Yeah. First, first, man, we are in the process of finishing the album. We're going to be dropping the app the first quarter, most likely in January. There's a lot of new music coming, a lot of new videos and music videos and things of that nature. Secondly, Ellie Motherhood Foundation, I really just want to push that because I really think that we can help a lot of women in our community with the scholarship. With this foundation, so I really want to spread the word as much as possible with that and the Nova Agency. Right, you guys looking for any real estate, any properties, please hit us up again. I think, you know, we don't have too many people in our community doing positive things, So I'm trying to do as much positive as I can to help and really spark the brain that can do something to make it easier for the next generation. You know, I think in our communities we don't really have a lot of teachers that provided us a blueprint on how to be successful. We kind of have to figure that out on our own. You know, we are not taught financial literacy and these different type of things. So I'm just trying to, you know, provide a way for or are people to get this and whether it's music or real estate or whatever it may be. Man, I'm just trying to help out. And each one teach one essentially, you know, absolutely each one. You know what, I'm gonna just give you a little nugget. Each one teach three, and it's three because the first one you teach may forget it, the second one you teach may take it and run with it. It's the third one you teach that to take it and spread the love Man and paying forward, Man, each one, teach three. Man, Look, I love you, King, I love you my brother, the little baby a hug for me. Man, Yes, yes, yes, he's over there. He takes something kids can eat. Speak to your boy. His app is crazy and then now he doesn't state what he wants to grab everything, so on my phone he's snatching it. It's hilarious. Oh and he looks like he's gonna be up all night. He had a lot of spunk in his eye. He's like, Yo, Bob, you're gonna be out with me.

So, Defro Records co founder and former CEO Sugar and former CEO sug Night is launching a podcast from prison called Collect Calls with should Knight. So Suge Knight has collaborated with The Break The Breakbeat Media CEO and The Source magazine founder Dave Mays. Dave Mays said, as we celebrate hip hop's fiftieth year, more than ever, the hip hop community needs a media platform that they can trust to bring a truthful and authentic perspective on so many important things happening in our world. Suge Knight wants to connect the younger generation with the older generation, and according to reports, Sugar will be addressing hip hop artists such as a Con Warren G, Master P, and the many others who have publicly piblicly express their opinions about him. So Sug Night will also address Snoop Dogg, being the current owner of death Row Records. Sug says that he will not be discussing the topic of Tupatscha Cords nineteen ninety six murder, So if you on the edge of your seat about that, you could forget about it because he's saying that he's not going to be discussing that, as you know. In September twenty twenty three, police arrested Dwayne Keepy D Davis and charge him with Tupac's murder. Both SUG and Keepy d are the only surviving witnesses, and Sug still maintains that he will not provide any witness information or testimony. But the five podcast episodes were already recorded, with the first episode schedule to be released on October twenty fourth on all major platform podcast podcast platforms. Breakbeat will release new episodes on Thursdays and video episode on video segments on Wednesday, I mean on Friday, so the official launch is going to be on Halloween. Crazy Thing is. I was trying to figure out how they're recording needs. Apparently I guess he's recording them from the prison. But you only get a certain amount of minutes per call, so how are they kind of I guess piecing this together is I'm going to tune into that. I don't know that's on my list? Yeah, Will, Will and Jada, I want to hear this, my God, So we got to get into a little Will and Jada. Unfortunately, I know y'all are told tapped out and tuned out of Will and Jada. But this week has been a roller coaster rived for the extrange couple, Will and Jada Pink and Smith. Following Jada's shocking revelation that she and Will have lived separately since twenty sixteen. So, just to sum everything up, Jada went on the press running tour to promote the release of her book Worthy When Jada sat down with Today's show co anchor hold A cob Uh to talk about the infamous Oscar slap and just the book in general. But when Will slapped Chris Rock and Jada saying that she knew nothing about what happened. If you saw that, if you saw the interview, she's talking about. She's explaining the whole SmackDown. She's explaining the whole slap from her point of view where she was sitting and she didn't see the slap connect and she didn't didn't think it was real up until towards the end. The publicist comes over and was like, he's not gonna press charges, and she's like, press charges for what. She's like, you didn't see the slap. She's like, you slapped them around. Yeah, yeah, he slapped them for real. So she talks about that, and then Jada also talks about being blamed for the incident and how people reacted to her from the timeline of the August South Sina interview with Angela Yee where he exposed exposed the relationship between him and Jada, and then to the Red Table Talk Entanglement sit down episode Will Smith all the way up into the Oster slab. So she was like that, I guess that's just where the public built up their little animosity or whatever they have towards her. But Jada also talked about Tupac and she says she moved closer to him at the prison so that she could visit him, and then she also said the Tupac proposed to her from the prison, which has been debated from by others. But following the interviews, Jada got tons of backlash from the public as fans took the social media in jurys to complain about her and express their feelings of betrayal and being mislaid, like Jada, how dare you? How dare you? And Will you guys pretended to be a whole couple, is what people are saying. But jay Ada went back on the Today's Show with Holda and said that they she wanted to explain further after the backlash, but she was just saying that her and Will they were in limbo and not stable stabilized at that time, and they were just trying to figure out things for themselves before they presented with whatever they were going to be to the world. So I guess that's why they were kind of keeping that whole thing under wraps. But towards the end of this, uh, this roller coaster ride of a week, Will made a surprise visit to her book event at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in her hometown of Baltimore, and Will said he wanted to come out and just be there to hold it down for her the way she has held it down for him and Jada and Will's two kids, Jaden and Willow. They were there along with Will's son Trey, Jada's mom Adrian, and Jada said Will and me are good. All the people who don't understand and got something to say are just going to have to fall in line. The truth of the matter is I'm not leaving will side and he's not going to leave me. We've been on the power quest and I'm happier than I've ever been. Okay, I wish I had I need some more sound effects. Yeah. It was so many people that were just like, why does she keep telling I'm tired of hearing her business, Like we don't want to hear anymore, Like why does she keeps And then you and then you had something. Did you hear about her the ashes with Tupac. I didn't know he proposed That's one of the things. We don't have a solution for it, That's what she was saying. People are debunking that because they were like, the timeline just doesn't add up real quick. All I do know is that back in the day, we always wanted to know what was going on her other things, and we didn't have social media back then, but now they're first feeding us and I'm full, yes and sick, yes, yes, Okay, So I'm sure this is not the end of the Will and Jada saga. I'm sure something else will be going on. But the Celebrity Sizzle Award of the Week goes to power couple Russell Wilson and Sierra. They have announced that they are giving one million to ten different nonprofit organizations in Denver in partnership with their Why Not You Foundation and Common Spirit Health. They said, today we celebrate ten deserving organizations which will each receive one hundred thousand to support their remarkable work in health, equity, education, foods, food security, social justice, and support for children and youth. And the Wilsons say they are grateful for the partnership to make real change in Colorado. They have not publicly announced the nonprofits that will be receiving the funds, but they are no strangers to giving back. Russell won the twenty twenty Walter Payton Man of the Year Award and the Paul g. Allen Humanitarian a Walk for his philanthropic work in Seattle. So I'm the girl Lawrence Sizzle and that was the Sizzle and it was the Sizzle ladies, and I'm your boy Charles greg with the beautiful Laurence and the beautiful Are we done with Pickett? Now? Yeah? I know it's like her little head, it's gonna pop back up. Yeah yeah. And she's doing this tour, so I'm sure there's gonna be something else. She ain't comeing to Philly though, good. Her whole tour is everywhere but Philly, but Philly, Like why because then she probably will from Philly. Would you come to Philly knowing how much Philly love will? Yeah, that's she ain't stupid. She ain't stupid. I mean, yeah, she wasn't born. She was born on the day, but not yesterday, right, And so I think she's smart enough to know that we And I'm sure she's been hearing the rumblings how Philly phil about her, because every time I see like, I see Philly going at her neck, as they should, because we should support people who come from our town unapologetically. I'm not sold out in Baltimore, of course, that's where she's from. She would sell out in Baltimore. I expect nothing less. Just don't come to Philly. You don't. You don't get it passed to come to Philly. I'm like a conspiracy theorist when it comes to all this stuff that's going on with them this past like weekend half or whatever. I just feel like we're being catfished. So that's just me. I'm just putting that out there. It's just like, I don't know, things just started getting weird when it came out. Then it's like, no, I gotta go back on the Today Show to re explain like we're all cool and shout like, shout out the will for being. I mean, it's accepting that he is. I get it. I don't understand it. That's that's his wife. That's that's rich people problems. I get all at this is new to us. This was already they that they were doing, so that's probably why they're not bothered. The problem I have, though, is her how vocal she is about putting him out there on Front Street like that. That's one of the things where I think, you know, she's feeling the vitriol coming back. It's not that theyre have this and will let me Okay, that's cool, that's fine. Masculation, Yes, one hundred percent. That's the problem. Like, we wouldn't even care. We know they're on some weird stuff. They already been pegged as being swingers, and we get all that. They rumors about him being gay and Dwayne what's the other bull Dwayne something? We heard all of the rumors, right, we get it. I don't care about none of that. What I care about is how public she is about putting someone that's pretty much loved, especially from Philly, but loved by America, love by the world. You're just throwing them out there. I don't care. Like, man, it just don't look right. But in any event, you know, you know, I'm so dumb with you go, I'm so dumb with That's how I'm trying to find a baby that you're on because I mean literally, I'm over them too. I'm tired of hearing about them, and I don't I don't want to. Did she say that? Chris to talk to her, And that's my point. Something new every time. It's like she wants to stay relevant, like for what like you you it's working, Yeah, gosh it is. I guess any any Leslie would know, any you know, publicity is a good publicity, any publicity, you know, yeah, man's but you know we you know, Philly feels about Will Smith. And plus his birthday is the day before mine, so that's like my older brother, Like you know how you feel about your older brother, Like, don't keep my older brother name o your mom, Like you know how you feel about that. Girls of the world ain't nothing but trouble. That came from Will. He said it first. Good, good way to end this show. Hold on this last comment. But she wants to be an alarmelight so she can sell books. I totally get, Like, I get what she's doing. I totally get that. And one thing that I did do was that, like I'm like, if they do get divorced, like what's in it for her everything? Take it divorce? She gets she gets half. He's worth like two hundred million something. Crazy, Yeah, look at her networth and look at it. She's only like thirty million. If that she's like thirty million, he's worth like two hundred talking, but they're not even talking divorce. And she's telling you that and Will saying that, yeah, it's just us talking. Oh gosh, yeah, let me, I'm done. We talked weekly after the talking WPP people when six point five, when we talked, we have to talk with your boys, the beautiful, beautiful.
