 Two days later, we got pulled over in Kingsport, Tennessee. It was a new driver. They had to switch drivers. We got pulled over. The police came on a bus and we all went to jail. What? I went to jail. I went to jail with baby. Baby went to jail too? Yeah. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gonna talk. I wanna talk to you about cash money. I'm a big time tech south, the south thing. How did you end up even signing the cash money? Let's talk about it. So, I told y'all I used to go to the clubs all the time when I was younger. Baby ended up hosting Candy Shop. Big Steve, remember Big Steve happened to that? They used to do Candy Shop in Connections. He ended up hosting that one day and I went and me and my girls, it was just at the club and he said one of his security guards to come and say hey to me or whatever and tell me to come to his section. I went back there to his section. We was talking, we was vibing and we exchanged numbers. Once we exchanged numbers, the next morning he called me. He was like, hey, I'm about to go out of town. I got some tour dates coming up. Do you wanna go with me? And so I asked my mom. I was like, mama, baby just, she was like, bird me, I said, yeah. She said, what's she saying? I was like, you know, I said, you think it's okay for me to like go with him to, you know, go out of town? She was like, yeah, shit, he got more to lose than you do, like, I was like, he do. Like, I was like, fuck it. And so I went. And so you went? Yeah, I went. And so I ended up going, I was on the tour bus with him, it was 15 guys and I was the only girl, 14. I was the only girl. Were you scared? I was a little bit, you know, I was a little timmy cause I didn't know the people and I was new. And you know, I'm the only female. So, you know, around a bunch of men but they was all so like big brothers. They was all sweet. They was all polite. They was gentlemen. They all like looked out for me everywhere we go. We stopped like I had a whole security on Taraj people with me. Two days later, we got pulled over in Kingsport, Tennessee. It was a new driver. They had to switch drivers. We got pulled over. The police came on a bus and we all went to jail. What? I went to jail. I went to jail with baby. Baby went to jail too? Yeah. What year was this? 2009 or 10. Wow. Yeah. It had to be 2009. What for? Some weed. That's it? Yeah, it was weed. It was probably like an ounce of weed or something. They charged all of us with an ounce of weed. All 15 of us went to jail. That's simple. If you Google it, you'll see that it said baby and his 18 year old wife. I was 18 years old at the time. It was all over the blogs. All over the blogs. It was all over the blogs. It was all over. 18 year old wife. Yeah. That's what they said. And what's crazy is the only reason why I ended up getting a car with him because, so it's like two people to each car, right? So when they was counting two, two, two, two, two, by the time it got to me, I would have gotten a car with somebody else with another guy. So he was like, no, I want to get a car with my wife, like to tell the police officer, like no, put me in the car with her. And so I guess the police officers, you know, once they made the report, they said that. His wife. Yeah. 18 year old wife. Yeah. So that's how it ended up going crazy like that. And after that happened, and what's so good, what was good about it, we actually got out the same night because one of baby's fans heard about it in Kingsport, Tennessee. And he came and bonded, a white guy. Shout out to him. He came and bonded all 15 of us out, just a random person. Wow. Yes. That is crazy. Wow, that's powerful. So, okay, we move a little bit further into it. Do you, what do you do with cash money? Do you drop any music with them? So after that happened, we going back and forth to court for about two years straight, actually. Dang, take that long? It took about, okay, so when that happened, we got out of jail, got back on the road, still touring. Shit, Drake had just came out. I mean, baby just had me on all the stages where I remember going to one Drake concert. This is when he first came out and the crowd was never ending. I never seen, I never been to a concert. Yeah, so, so after we got out of jail, we were still on tour or whatever. We had to go to the next dates, go to the next city or whatever. And baby just had me on every stage. That's when Drake first came out and I remember going to one of Drake's shows and the crowd was just never ending. I never went to a, it was like in a big old like field. All I seen was grass, but people was just standing on grass and I couldn't see the ending. And that's how I knew he was a star. He was a star. This was back in 2009, I think. He just had me everywhere. I was real protected. Everything was good. So I told him like, I didn't just want to meet him and say like, oh, I'm an artist in this net because I'm sure like, you know, it wasn't, that wasn't what we built our connection on. Like, you know, he had an interest in me. He liked me or whatever. But I wanted to like build a relationship with him first before I just started telling him about my music. So when I first, you know, mayhem I told him like, yeah, you know, I sing or whatever, but at this point I didn't have a song or whatever. So I had to go, you know, do my work. So I left him for a little bit. After I got off tour with them, I left and then I was a, what was that song? What was it? Sean Garrett and Nicki Minaj did. When she had the pink hair and all the soldiers. Yeah. I didn't, I don't know exactly. It was in, it wasn't. I remember, I'm thinking about the video. Yeah, on the video. I was on set. I was on set. We went there. I was there when she shot that video. He just had me everywhere. I was like. Did you talk to Nicki? No, I did. She was on set. Oh yes or they on set. Yeah. So we was just in the tour bus. And I was like, you know, watching from inside the tour bus, you know, I get off and look around, but I wasn't trying to be in a way. You know what I'm saying? Like that wasn't what I was there for. But anyway, so I ended up meeting this guy. His name was Simo. And at this point I was still dancing. I was a dancer still. Okay. I met this guy at the gas station. Me and my home girls went, ended up going to the beauty supply. And I was laying down in the bed and I didn't really want to go. And they was like, Brittany come on, come with us to the beauty supply. We're just riding up the street. And I'm like, whatever, okay. So I was like, if I go, I'm gonna sit in the car. I'm not getting out. So I sat in the car. They went inside the store. So this guy, he was selling his CDs outside or whatever. And he was like, hey, you know, I'm a, he knocking on the window. I'm already agitated because I didn't feel like coming to the store. And he was like, hey, my name is Simo. I'm a R&B singer or whatever. Can you, you know, buy one of my CDs? And I was like, okay, well, yeah, I, you know, I'll support you. I'll buy one of your CDs. So I ended up putting the CD in. And the first song I heard, I loved it. And I'm like, okay, you talented. You know, at this point now they woke up. And so me and him started talking and I was like, yeah, you know, I know how to sing too. You know, I really want to take my artistry, you know, serious. I just don't know where to start, whatever, whatever. So he was like, well, huh, call my number on the back of the CD. Let's meet at a Starbucks. Let's talk about it. I met him at a Starbucks. We instantly went to the studio within the next few days. We came up with my first song. They got me signing cash money. Call me for that good. Wow. They call me for that good. Come, come, come. That's how call me for that good came on. And it actually came from another song. So it came from another song. And we took that little part out of the song and made it into a hook and then made it into a whole song. So it wasn't even like we just came up with this song. Like it came from a whole another record that we had there. Cause at this point we was just building, trying to see, you know, what my lane was, what I was going to talk about. And so the go DJs, I ended up sending my music to the go DJs, how I see and all of them, they start playing my song in the clubs. Then my song started getting on the radio. So then when I ended up getting back with baby again, I was like, yeah, I got a number one song on the radio right now. It's beating, at this point, what's the song? Lil Wayne, when he had all the Cashmunt, Youngmunt, Cashmunt. He had all the people on the song. That was on the bus. Yes, Bad Rock. Bad Rock was number two. My song was number one. I'm 97 on the box in Houston. Yes, like I had the number one song in the city at this time. I'm like, I'm beating out Bad Rock right now. My song is the number one song or whatever. So at that point he like, okay, she was for real about what she said. And so he ended up sending me a contract. I said it to my lawyer, my lawyer was like, this is one of the best deals I've ever seen. Wow. Yes. I ended up signing the deal, ended up signing it to him. He moved me to Miami, bought me a condo, furnished it out, everything. So when I ended up moving to Miami, the guy that I was working with, he was, he started making me feel like bad because he was like, you done got signed and now you're leaving us and this and that and da, da, da, da. Like he just started making me feel bad about all the decisions that I was making at this time. And I'm like, damn, I feel like this is my moment. But everybody like, Brittany, why are you leaving us? You know, and I start feeling like, well, damn, like, I don't want nobody to feel like I'm leaving him. So. And how old were you at this time? I was like 19. 19. Mm-hmm. So he bought me the condo. He, you know, told me to pick out whatever furniture I wanted, whatever car I wanted, whatever I wanted. He told me to get it. I ended up doing all of that. And then I ended up moving right back to Houston. I didn't even stay in Miami. How long did you stay there? Probably like two months. You threw it all in the way. And it went back home because everything. You crazy. Let people get in your head. I did, I did. I let them get in my head and I'm let them, you know, make me feel like that I was leaving them. Did you regret it? I did. Wow. I did. You know that for some reason, I've spoken to a lot of different managers, a lot of different artists and stuff like that. And I always hear people always say that's the thing that you have to always worry about with having a female artist is people getting into their head. You don't hear that with male artists very much. Why is that so? I don't know because I mean, people feel like, you know, they made you. Yeah. You know, he wrote the song. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So he feel like, well, shit, it's the song that got you on. Like, bitch, you supposed to, I supposed to be with you. You know what I'm saying? You know, men and men, it's always like this underlining competition. Like, you know, if I'm with you or for you, like I never, never left you nowhere. Like, you know what I'm saying? This is just something to help me catapult my career. If you want to come out here, you want to visit, it's a room you can stay in, like whatever you could always come. But it's just like, he wasn't looking at it like that. And then, you know, we went through a tumultuous, you know, type relationship because he ended up becoming my manager. And then he had me locked in a contract for like eight years, even after that. Yes. How, when you already was signing Cash Money? As a manager. I was signed to him as a manager first. He was my manager first. The guy that I met. So that's why you ended up going back cause he kept giving you hell. Yeah, he just kept giving me hell. And then I thought the contract was for two years, but it was that small little part that I didn't read because he forced me to sign the contract. Like we got into a whole fight and everything at my house. Like it was, he got real bad. He got toxic. He got toxic. Yes. And so I was just, I felt like I had to sign it. So I ended up signing it. And I was in a contract with him until like 2007, 18th, what is about, maybe 14, 15, something like that. How'd you get out of it? The contract just ended. It just, it just ended. Cause I'm thinking like, why would he make the contract so long? He was trying to tie me in. He did. He was trying to, he was trying to hold on to me forever. Even to this day, he still be on his Instagram. And he'd be like, yeah, you know, you know, they didn't talk to about me. They didn't say so many, you know, me things about me. You live in Houston? Yeah. So you ever go back home? Yeah, I just was at, I was just home last month. I was just home last month. I was booked the whole weekend Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I had, I had events the whole weekend. I was just home. Wow. How'd you, how'd you enjoy it? I loved it. I loved it. Everybody came out. I had a great time. Question that I had. So baby couldn't like buy you out of the contract or something like that to try to help you get out of it? I think I was really trying to like hide it from him because I think I told him about it and he was, you know, he had my back 100%. Right. But I was trying to hide it from him because I didn't want him to feel like I was coming into this new situation with so much confusion. So I wasn't trying to like bring my old problems into a new relationship. So I kind of like didn't say as bad as it was. I kind of was like, you know, saying like, what, what, what you think if a person was in this position type thing? Like talking about it in third party and not really saying that it was me because I didn't want him to feel like I was bringing, at this time he had Jason Derulo. He had, you know what I'm saying? He had all these big ass artists. You know, Tiger was just coming out. You know, like everybody, he got all these big artists that's doing that thing. Like I didn't want him to feel like I was coming with so much baggage to where it's like he didn't want to, you know. Deal with you. Deal with you, deal with me. So during that time I stayed in Miami, he flew me and my whole family out. He told me whoever I wanted to fly, I could fly. We shot the video to call me for that good. And the video just never came out. I mean three months pass, six months pass, eight months pass. What happened was when I signed to baby is when young money had first started. Like this was the first beginning of young money in Nicki Minaj. Back in 2010. This is when they first started. So I think that being that Lil Wayne was signed to baby, baby had a female artist. Wayne had a female artist. Of course, like he gonna go with Wayne and his artists because of the seniority. Like I'm not gonna break up a relationship with somebody who I've already had all these years and it's been beneficial to just put somebody new person out. So I feel like I was shelved. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. One on one. Yeah, we gonna talk.
