 What they gonna do with me now? I'm still a twerk of the town, holding the sisters, I'm hooking them down. Reaching the smiles and the frowns, gang hop up. Y'all, it's sugar, Rihanna, Imani, and you're tuned in to another Talk of the Town interview, and who do we got in the building today? We got your girl, Lay Banks, in the building. Y'all know who it is. Yes, we got Lay, Philly is in the building. Thank you for coming. How you feeling? How you feeling? Honestly, I'm feeling so good right now. Like, I'm happy to be here. I love coming out of New York. So, you know, we survived Talk of the Town. Y'all know what it is. We already know what's up. So, you know, for the people that don't know, you don't know, YDK is going up right now. You body that. Thank you so much. It's a vlog. You made sure you put the little hips in there too. But you was in your bag with that one. Really, really like it. So, let's just do like a quick little ice breaker. So, give me your age, your favorite TV show, and a fun fact about you. Well, I'm 18. My favorite TV show right now is Umbrella Academy. It's so random, but like, I really love that show. And what was it? Are you caught up? I'm almost finished. And don't spoil it. Don't spoil it. Oh, no, no, no. Don't spoil it. I thought you were about to spoil it for me. Okay, okay, okay. I'm almost finished and I'm getting to the good part. But. All right, no spoiler alerts. And a fun fact about you. A fun fact about me. I love this thing. I sing all day. That is not a fun fact, girl. We already know that. I mean, okay, wait, I got a good one. I skateboard. Y'all know that. I know how to skateboard. You always know how to skateboard? I actually learned probably like two years ago, and I stuck to it because it's such a good exercise. Were you a Healy's girl? Yeah, I was a Healy's girl. I was a Healy's girl, too. I feel like that was like the starter pack. It was. You wasn't a cool girl if you didn't have Healy's. That's period. That's period. All right. So let's get into early life. Let us know like how was growing up. Did you, did you grow up in Philly? I did grow up in Philly. Okay. And how was that? Who was that like? Growing up in Philly was rough, but you know, most cities in the tri-state is kind of rough, but I love my city and I love where I'm from. It's the city of brotherly love, you know what I'm saying? But I couldn't say that I would want to be from anywhere else because I love being from Philly, but truthfully, Philly is a rough city and you know, you're pretty, but come from the rough side. Okay. So do you see yourself moving out of Philly at some point? I do see myself moving out of Philly. I want to move like A$AP actually. A$AP you say? A$AP. Really? Where would you go? I'm trying to go like, I'm trying to be in Cali. Like I'm a Cali girl. Cali, really? So you will go across the country. What is it about Cali that you like? You know, going out there like recurring, I'm not going to lie to you, it's such a vibe. Like the creative space just feels so good and I feel like I create better when I'm out there. You know what I'm saying? So when you were out there, that's when you decided that you wanted to go to Cali? Yeah, like, and I've been to Cali a couple of times and the other times I went, I never really thought I wanted to live there. And so this most recent time I'm like, shit, this is where I'm supposed to be. See, I feel like I feel that way every time I go somewhere, I'll be like, I can see myself moving here, but that's dope. And I think that Cali is a good space, especially when you're in a creative space, like you said, for you to like grow and build upon your career. That's dope. So what's your family life like? My family life is really good. I got real close-knit relationships with my mom, my dad, my brothers and my sisters. I got a lot of brothers and sisters, so I got eight siblings. All on my dad's side, it's a lot of us. It's none of us in total, but we all stay close and we all stay tight. Okay, are you the youngest oldest? I'm actually death smack in the middle. Like it's four above me and four under me. Oh, that's dope. So I'm the fifth child, yeah. Okay, I'm the oldest. I don't really know what it's like being the middle child, but I can imagine that's like interesting. So they all support you, they all... They all do, all my siblings really support me. Okay, that's lit. And I know that you're Eritrean, which is interesting because, you know, I feel like we don't really have a lot of Eritrean representation out there. I know that there's like, I think Ruby Rose is Eritrean. Ruby Rose, the weekend is also Eritrean too. And I know Nipsey was too. So there is some representation. Are you in tune with your culture? I'm very in tune with my culture all the way, yeah. So like what are some things that like is unique to your culture that you feel like you still... I think some things that are unique is probably the dance moves. I wanted to bring something back to light. It's like a little bit of this, a little bit of this action. And I really wanted to bring that back to TikTok because I feel like people don't know that much about area culture, but also the food too, like the food is so good. You gotta have in Jada at least one time in your life. If you haven't, you haven't lived. And that's just the truth. Okay, okay. So walk us through like you coming up, how did you get lit? Like what was it that like solidified your spot? Well, I've been making music for three years. And I guess the ice breaker for me was my song, Come On. And when I dropped that jump, like, and I did the pop, yo, shit. Like that shit went crazy. Like after that went crazy, like everybody just was on my top about it. Just was like, yo, like you going hard right now. And then I dropped Boyfriend number two. And that was my first M by myself. And after that, I just been going up. And you know what was interesting about Come On? I think that, I don't know how many people were tapped into your music where you actually singing, but I know that when that song dropped, a lot of people were surprised about your voice. They weren't. That was like a big thing in that like, like everybody was talking about that, but it was, it was interesting to me cause it's like there are so many singing songs where your voice sounds melodic. And I just heard you with a stoop ball here singing. So it's like, no, my sister's got some songs. But you know, it's crazy cause I'm very versatile. It's just that people don't know that of a side of me. Like, and I got other records coming to y'all. Like don't, don't just be worried about the melodic shit cause there's other stuff coming where I'm rapping. Speaking of other records coming, I have to ask you, I know you and PNB have a song that's been in the works since like last year or something like that. I know it's called Ticket. And I haven't seen it. I saw a clip on Instagram, I think it was, but like that was it. What's going on with that? Me and PNB going talk, like that's my guy. You know, he author, he all vibes. And you know, hopefully we going to shoot that video soon and get it right out to you. Okay. So you plan on dropping a song and a video at the same time? Yeah, song and video at the same time. So what's the thought or the reasoning like behind that? Not specifically for that song, but like do you think that it helps push a song when you drop it at the same time as video? Honestly, I feel like it just gives a good visualization and help people see where you at with it. And it just makes people understand the song better when you drop a video with it. Okay. I think it just is better. So, you know, of course we know that you be around like the Philly Golds and all of them a lot. How did that collaboration start? How did y'all link up? How did y'all meet? Well, I used to be friends with somebody and they introduced me into the Philly Golds. And then we started just dancing with each other in the same creator house. We started making TikToks and stuff. And that's just pretty much how it happened. We all just linked up. I met somebody first and somebody told somebody and you know what I'm saying? Just happened like that. And then we started seeing each other at each other's shows and it was like a worry bet. Well, let's link up and let's do this together. That's just how it happened. And you saying somebody, is this like somebody who's no longer in the picture? Is this like a, you know, don't face no case? Like, you know what I'm saying? No, it's just somebody told somebody about somebody. I'm saying, I'm picking up what you're putting down. We won't get into that too much. So walk me through like the whole blicking thing. Like how did that start? How did y'all start doing that? Blicking, it started, okay. It started with the shake, that shit. You gotta bring it up here and then you gotta bring it over here like this. And then after you bring it over here. I'm dancing, but it started right here. Do you bring it right here? Why do you gotta bring it up here? And then you bring it to the hips. And then when it got to the hips, I feel like the hips really like is what everybody loved the most. But you know, it went from shaking that shit to hips and now everybody just do both together. It's two different dances. Right, so do you, okay. So there's what I think about you, Blicked. I think about this video where I saw it was like you were eating like the perc candy and you was dancing at the same time. I was fucking it up, yeah. And you was fucking it up. But I was like, dude, doesn't it tie her? Like did they tell you like, all right, you gon' take a bite and then you gon' start like. See, but this the thing though, like when I do promos and stuff like that, like people gotta understand that this is my job. I'm a creator, like I make music. I dance all day. That's what I do. That's my picture. So when he gave me the candy, I was like, oh, this candy good as shit. I'm about to blick. Like it's candy good as shit. I'm about to blick for you. Like I'm not about to sit here and talk to him. Like, oh, this candy is so good. Shot down. I mean, it's a part of your brand at this point. No, for sure. And that's what it is. So do people like come up to you asking you to do it? Is it something that's expected of you? Like. I ain't going to lie. I do be getting a couple of supporters that come to me like, like, can you blick for me? And I'd be like, bro, I'm not blicking in person. Like, catch me, okay? Why me? That's what my TikTok is for. But no, I gotta be in a certain type of mood. Like sometimes you could catch me and I'll blick for you real quick. But like it depends on how I'm feeling. I feel like you need to put out a little tutorial or something like that. No, I really will. You really be fucking it up. And I feel like people should just know how to do it. I really will. You got the hit? I do not. I won't even sit here and lie to you. Don't lie a lot to you either. I do not. You know, I can do a little one too. But if you're looking a little crazy. So- It's okay, we gon' get you right. Okay, and I'll hold you to that. So stay tuned y'all. So who would you say is the sturdiest? Without you saying it yourself, who would you say is the sturdiest? Who would I say is the sturdiest without saying myself? I gotta say PG Spence, Spence be fucking it up. Okay, okay. Spence be fucking it up. Like he be on some shit like, wop, wop, like he be on some shit. You know what? It's the facials for me. Because they got real serious. They got real serious real quick. So overall though, how has it been like, getting, being out there, getting all the attention that you've been getting from people like, how does that feel to you? It feels good. Like I guess it's everything I ever prayed for. So, you know, seeing my supporters in person and seeing the effect that I got on these different kids and these different people. I love it. I love interacting with the kids and I love my supporters, all of them. And like, in that moment, I just be like, damn, like this is really my life. Like this is really, people really be coming up to me for pictures and shit. But you know, I'm still, I still be starstruck by my supporters. Like I'd be starstruck by them. Like, oh shit. And they'd be starstruck by me. But you know, it's a blessing. So is it something that you, like you always saw for yourself or is it something that you kind of like stumbled into? It's something I always saw for myself. I used to have sleepless nights praying about this shit. Like praying that God would deliver me peace and that I would find my way to my dream because this is all I ever wanted my whole life. You know what I'm saying? So you've been singing your whole life? I've been singing since I was three years old. Wow. Oh, before you could really put words together. Before I could really put words in my, the first song I ever sung was to the left by Beyoncé. Oh, that's so cute. Yes. So are you a Beyoncé fan? Die Hard. I love Beyoncé. How did you feel about Renaissance? I loved it. I loved it too. Like alien, alien superstar, she body that. And plastic ball to show for us. She really did. That's so good. There was another one. It was the transition from energy into break my soul. She body that. I don't know what you're talking about, but I feel like I got to hear it. Listen again, cause she really body that. Like I will play that. Or maybe it was cuff it into energy into break my soul. I like cuff it. I think that's what it was. But Beyoncé and you did your thing. And Church Girl, Church Girl nice to you. Church Girl don't hurt nobody. Yes, okay. So you, so you, you hurt. I'm tempted, like my girl B Carrie. She really, really did. So who else were you listening to, like when you were going up? A lot of Michael Jackson, Aliyah, Bruno Mars. I was a die hard, like R&B fan. So like I listened to a lot of Destiny's Child. Yes, yes. Just stuff like that. Like, or Seven Campbell. But you know about that, can we talk? Can we talk for a minute? Boy, I want to know your name. Can we talk for a minute? It's the acapella for me. That too. I love it. I love it. So do you feel like now with like social media and like you can like even with that clip, you could post that right now and it could get lit. Like do you feel like artists have it a little easier now with the help of social media? Like putting themselves out there? I still feel like it'd be a little rough cause like you still got to put in the extra work. Like it's not just about posting. Like you got to post and you got to be active and you got to engage with your supporters. But some people do have it that easy to whereas though you just post and it just do what it do. And I wouldn't even say that that's me because I still be working hard. I still be out here like with the culture and still be doing my shows and stuff like that. So it's still a grind in hustle. And I'm happy that you say that cause my next question is like what have you done to like keep putting yourself out there? Like what kind of things have you done? I've done a lot of traveling, a lot of interviews, some promotional shows and just engaging with different artists and producers and locking it with new people in different cities to try to market myself in different ways. And you also have some co-signs cause I remember seeing Gilly Decade posted you. And that was like a song he posted. And I was happy that he posted like a monotic. I think it was like fly, he posted and that was good cause people in the comments were jacking you heavy. So that also helps like when you get co-signs from people. Did that help you at all? No, definitely. Shout out to Gilly too. Like he was one of the first people to ever throw me up. Shout out to Tiz, two on five too. They both threw me up. And like ever since then I was popping in a Philly area. And then when Gilly threw me up it really got me lit like in a tri-state. Like he was throwing me like, oh snaps, like who this? And like, and then from there I just kept staying on the ground posting and just doing freestyles and stuff. So who else if anybody like have you gotten co-signs from or even like recognition from that has like surprised you? I've gotten recognized by Ruby Rose. Y'all know PNB. Who else? Or like let's say like who would you want to like? Who would I want to work with? Get into it, yeah. Definitely Lil Baby, Coyla Ray and Queen Naja. They my top three. Okay, you got the list ready. They my top three right now. Okay. I need them. I could definitely see you and Coyla. Actually, I could really see all of them. Right? Like I could see all of them. We all just met each other but especially my girl Coyla. Love her, yeah. And that's why she was the first name that stuck out to me. I could definitely see you and Coyla on the track together. But I do notice, I did notice rather that you don't really have that many features. Is that like for a reason, is it? I mean honestly starting up and coming up as like an independent lady artist I feel as though I didn't want my brand to be a bunch of features. I wanted it to be like, oh, they banks built this from the ground up and my team and me worked really hard and I want people to understand that this is all organic, this is not from no feature. You know what I'm saying? This is not from somebody giving me a handout cause that's not what I want. Right, I appreciate that. You coming up and then you know you have time for the features once people know who Lay Banks really is. So speaking of who Lay Banks really is and because you have a song called You Don't Know I wanna play a little game with you so that we can get to know you a little bit more. Okay. All right, so I'm gonna ask you about 10 questions and just answer as quickly as possible, okay? Gotcha. All right, what's your sign? A gemini. Describe yourself in three words. Erratic, awesome, singer. What's your go-to dance move? The hips. What was your first CD? Dur-a-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Not Dora, what you had a Dora sound track? Yes, I really did. I really did. Like I had the Dora sound track. I really did. That's mad funny. Okay, what's the hairstyle that you never get again? Ha, hairstyle I never get again. Oh my God, a high pointy style. Them joints hurt. Like all of it up in a pointy style like with the weave. I'm looking at the half up, half down you got now and it looks good. Like, you said it hurts. Because like the back is still relieved, but like having all of it up. And all of them bobby pins in your hair. Yeah, it is a lot. OK, celebrity crush. Celebrity crush? Honestly, I don't got one, I think of myself. OK, you playing a role safe with that one. First initial of your first love? First initial of my first love? I. What's the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you? Oh my god. I slipped and fell on a sub, like the train. I slipped and fell on a train. And everybody looked at me and laughed. And I was so embarrassed. And the guy behind me was trying not to laugh. And he reached his hand out for me. Wait, it's the fact that everybody laughed. Because that's how you know that that didn't happen in New York. Because I feel like if that happens in New York, you fall on a train like, you might be like. No, I'm laughing. But like we don't really be like laughing. No, they like, they chuckled. Like people looked at me and was like. And I'm just like, oh my god. Yo, that was the most embarrassing day ever. Where was that? That was in Philly. Wait, wait. That was recent? That was like two years ago. Oh no, that was recent. That was two years ago. Oh god. All right. What's a fictional character that you would want to be besties with in real life? Princess Tiana, like she just. Oh yeah, that's a good one. She's so good. So cute. What's your strangest talent? And don't say skateboarding, because we know about that one already. Strangest talent? What's the strangest talent I got? Oh, I could play the violin. Oh, that's nice. OK, what's something that you pretend to hate but actually love? I don't have one of them. When I hate something, I hate it. You really hate it? Yeah, like I ain't. Because you know like with that one, it's like you know how some people be like, oh, you know, like I don't really like going outside. But like I act like I like going outside because like I got to do it from my job. So you like going outside. I like going outside. OK, for real. From time to time. From time to time. It depends on how I'm feeling. OK, OK, that's fair. If there was a movie about your life, what would it be called? This shit, Tube Room. This shit, Tube Room. Really? You feel like life can't met you fast? My life had been so quickly. Like I feel like everything in my life be felt like a real movie. Like this a real life movie. That's really how it would be. OK, OK. And if you could create a holiday, what holiday would it be? Bank's Day. And on that day. So yeah, I can't check at the bank. You got to cash a check at the bank. Somebody got to give you a check. Somebody you know has to give you a check and you got to cash it at the bank. And it has to be at least $1,000. Oh, period. How am I on Bank's Day? I like to sound like what you sound like. OK, OK, cool. So let's get into like you performing. So I know you performed at Met Philly. And that crowd was packed. Crazy. And they was finishing your lyrics. Like it really, really looked lit. That was like crazy. How was that experience for you? Like seeing all of those people supporting you and popping out? I wouldn't even lie to you. It felt like a dream. Like at that time, I was taking a break from social media because it could be a lot. And I really didn't expect myself to be ready for the show how I was ready. But when I got on the stage, my supporters just lit up. And I'm like, yo, I love this crowd. And then I started, yo, they cut off the music. I was so irritated. I'm like, you know what? Fuck it, we doing it. And they had you. I sung acapella and I started singing. I'm like, what's the lyrics? Y'all finish it? Oh, they had you. They finished everything. They was on it. Like, but it was so lit. I love that. So what? So you said that you really weren't feeling it. Like you had just came off of like a social media hiatus. So what kind of things were you doing to get yourself like an already mindset to get up there on stage? Meditating, praying a lot. I talked to God. So definitely listening to like calming music and just talking to myself, trying to prepare myself mentally, make sure that I'm right up here. Because if you're not right mentally, don't do nothing. That's just how I got to be. And especially like I'm really, I'm really a strong believer of like if you're not right within yourself, it's going to transfer into everything you do. So you won't be able to fully apply yourself if you're not applying yourself to yourself. I completely agree. So how do you, I know you said God praying, meditation. How do you make sure that your mental is at its best? Or I mean, how do you do that? Because it's only but so much that you can that's within your control. But like how do you do that? How do you maintain your mental health? I write a lot. Like besides writing songs, I write to just talk to myself. Whenever I'm feeling something, I just put it in my book. And after I'm done, I go to sleep. Because I feel like releasing all of that outside rather than talking to somebody and then somebody going to run a mouth about your business is better to just let it out on a paper, wake up in the morning with a fresh mind and let it go. Because a new day, every day is a chance. And that's what I look at it like. I like that. You seem very positive and spiritual, mindful. I really, really like that. That's really dope. So I noticed that lately it seems like you've been tapping into your femininity a little bit more, which is really, I mean, you're a beautiful girl. So it's really nice to see what caused that change. What inspired you to start tapping in? Honestly, I was always feminine within me. If you know me, then you know I was always a little like. But my friends coming around, I was always super tomboyish, but I love being girly. I just like being pretty in the face. And I'm going to always let my little boy clothes, like it ain't nothing wrong with wearing it. I mean, even when you had the shortcut, you was. Yes, the shortcut was given. Yes, it surely was. You was doing a damn thing. But what made me specifically think of that was I can't even think about what the name of the song was. But I know it was like you and a dancer, you had money and you had on like a blue and white jacket. Yeah, you saw my personal. And I was like, wow, the change from like the look there. Because you know they're two different people, like they're two different personas. So what are the two personas? You got this one and then you got the other one. And I don't even know what the other one is. Because it was given Beyonce and Sasha Fierce. Right, Sasha Fierce, Beyonce, you know what I'm saying? Okay, so you have two different personas. So is there a difference when it comes to the music too with those two personas or is it just the look? I think it's just the look really. The music stay the same because deep within myself I'm still who I am and that's never gonna change. Right, and now with tapping into your femininity, I noticed that, well, you're natural right now but I noticed that you had makeup on like a few days ago and I really didn't like what the girls was doing in the comments because they was doing a lot. Yeah, they do too much. And I feel like as you're coming up, especially being 18, this is still an impressionable age where it's like comments sometimes can make or break you depending on what kind of person you are. So how is it, like, do you read comments for one? I read comments, I think everybody do. I don't know if everybody does. I don't know if everybody can handle it. I read comments, I can handle it. They don't bother me because I feel like growing up in a household with a bunch of brothers, my brothers then said everything to me that people can already say, oh you ugly, oh you look this and you look, you know what I'm saying? But that's about having tough skin. And when you come from a rough city like Philadelphia, people's disrespectful all day, like you just gotta know how to deal with that shit. And even beyond having tough skin, I think it also has to do with having that confidence. Cause when you know you that bitch, there's nothing that anybody could say otherwise. I'm always feel like I'm a bad bitch. Like can't nobody make me feel like I'm not a bad bitch. Like me without makeup, please, come on. Y'all bitches could never. It's given. Y'all stand for yourselves. I mean, come on. So let's talk about like your dating life. I mean, I'ma let you guide the conversation how you want and then, you know, I'ma move accordingly. What's the dating life looking like for laybanks? Laybanks is single. So, you know. Laybanks is single. Okay. Single, ready to mingle. Single, you just focusing on the music. What does that look like? I mean, I'm single focusing on the music for real. I'm just trying to stick to myself. I'm focused on what I gotta do. Okay. Date a person from time to time. Okay. Date a person. So like, what kind of people do you date? Um... When you're looking out there to date somebody, like what's your date? If I'm looking to date, I'm looking for somebody that got their head on their shoulders. Somebody that's not about to waste my time cause I'm in a point in period of time in my life where I got things to do. And I don't know if y'all know that song where Drake be like, I cannot convince you that I love you for a living. Like I can't convince nobody that I love him for a living cause I got too much to do. So, I just, that's just how I feel. Dating is like, it's dating, but it's not no necessity for me. So, I mean, I have to ask you because last time D-30 was here, he came with a couple of the Philly goats. And, you know, I kind of threw in a little questionnaire about you and Brill because he posted it on his Instagram. And when I tell you we're in a whole room, we're silent. I just didn't know how to navigate in that situation. I said, when I speak to lay myself, I'm gonna ask her. So, what's going on with you and Brill? What's the tea? We not a thing. Not a thing anymore? Not a thing period, I'm cool though. Now lay. We not a thing. I'm not pressing that, cause you said what you said. But I know, you know, like why everybody's curious because y'all got videos together. You know, you got the YouTube videos. Y'all did the truth or drink when y'all revealed. Okay, well, honestly, me and Brill dealt with each other. But, you know, things happened is what it is. So, but y'all still cool. We cool. So how is that? Cause personally I feel like if I fuck with a nigga and we stop fucking with each other, I don't think that we could be friends after that. No, I feel that. But is that like one of those things where it's like, you know, people like to see y'all together. So it's more like, right? Or is it like y'all just not even business? Cause we just, we used to deal with each other. So it's not even about business no more. Like it was a point in time where it was a rumor going around this for entertainment and yada, yada, yada, just at a third. But that's where it's at and we gonna leave it. Okay. Yeah. Okay, cool. So how do you feel about like seeing the edit pages on TikTok and this is not even specifically about him. We said we was gonna leave it where it's at. So don't think I'm going back to him. But you know, like, I feel like people on TikTok specifically they'll take like any little moment from a live, they'll take anything from a YouTube. I mean, Instagram and they'll like try to put it together. Is that weird to you? I don't think it's weird because, you know, me and bro both have supporters and then I got supporters and I feel like the Philly girls got supporters. So if they post us, then they post us. It is what it is. Do you feel like, how does it make you feel to know that like everything you post is being watched though? Cause I feel like you could slip up and pick your nose in a live and now it's on an edit page. But you know, me being the person I am, I'm super blunt. Like I don't care to pick my nose. Like that's not, that's a regular thing. I mean, yeah. I'm not kidding. I'm just saying one good example. Like, you know, I know what you mean. Like I just be feeling cautious. Like I got to watch what I say at all times. Like I can't say nothing bad cause y'all going to screen record me and start talking crazy. So do you feel like speaking on a topic of talking bad cause we were talking about earlier, like TikTok, taking everything down, you know, you close to your mill. We don't want your page to go anywhere. Are you cautious about the things that you post on social media as well? I'm very cautious. You got to be cause TikTok be quick to being you. So like, what do you decide to post on TikTok versus what you keep in the drafts? Cause I know we all got a whole bunch of drafts. I know you probably got a whole bunch of drafts. I just be being in the drafts. Like sometimes I'll record a TikTok talking to myself and I'll be like, this is not getting posted. Like this is not going up. But the dancing stuff, like sometimes I'll post dancing TikToks. Sometimes I'll post talking TikToks. Like it depends on how I'm feeling honestly. Like if I think the video cute or funny, I'm a posted if not it's just going to stay in the drafts. And so since you started like getting more attention, has anybody from like, I mean you 18, but like anybody that you fell off with, not even dating wise, but like friends, anybody try to like come back into the picture. Oh hell yeah, definitely all the time. And how does that like, are you open to that? Like how does that? No, you can stay over there. I'm a cool love. Anybody that wasn't in my life before I had this, whatever I got going on, you could stay right where you at. But you want to know something like, cause I'm quick to call somebody out on what they post. You posted something that was like, I don't, I don't go to, I don't get new people. Like I spend back to my old ones. You said something like that. Hold on, yes you did. Cause I feel like I wrote it down somewhere. I don't get new vibes. I'll go back to my old ones is what you said. See, but by new vibes, by new vibes. No, by new vibes. I mean, I personally, I'm so at peace that like I feel like it's offensive to me to let any of my own neighbors get access to me. I tweeted that in a point of my life where I wanted to spend the block. Like I'm not trying to spend the block for nobody right now. Like I'm in a peace, in a peaceful place. I'm getting money. Like I just, I don't need none of that extra. And that's what kind of concerned me too about like going back to somebody that I used to fuck with because I don't know where the intention is. Like what if we stop fucking with each other? Like for a reason, but now you try to clean it up just because like you see that I'm up now. Cause this is shit. Everybody could be an opportunist. So you really can't put that past anybody. No, for sure. But thanks for clearing that up sis. I had to. So let me know what's going on. Are you signed? Like what's the situation there? I got a deal on the table. You got a deal on the table. Okay, so a deal was on the table, but I know at one point you were the first lady of a situation. So I don't know if you want to get into details, but what happened with that? Honestly, no bad blood with them. The deal just wasn't going how I wanted it to go. And you know, sometimes when things aren't working out how you need them to for your career, you gotta let them go. So I had to let it go. So what were some things that you've learned? I mean, building off of that situation, but like about the industry in general that you are now like taking with you when it comes to making these business moves and decisions? Honestly, you gotta think about everything. Like you gotta be smart about every move, every step you take gotta be strategy. You can't just do shit. Because like in this industry, it's like you say the wrong thing. You move the wrong way. You spend the wrong money. Like anything go wrong. And you just gotta think about every move that you take. And that's really the main thing that I feel like I learned. And not everybody is your fucking friend. That goes for anybody out there watching. Not anybody is your friend. Like even outside of the music industry, if you a random person, not even if you're just an artist, like these people do not be your friends. Stay away from them. And sometimes it'd be the ones you least expect to. Exactly. Okay, so let me know like or let us know rather, like what's your team like? So you have the deal on the table now, but I know you're moving with a team. At least I think. So what's your team looking like for what it is right now? I got my manager, Kenny Blake. And I'm working with a JV, with Y'all Lil Beats and 88 Beats. Y'all Lil Beats, how are we? And that's my team backing me right now. We a strong team. We pretty tight. We stay cool. Everything be moving sturdy, so you know. That's dope. Is there anything else outside of like the music and the dancing that you can see yourself doing? Acting. I really want to get into the acting world. I want to get into the cosmetic world. Like I want to sell makeup and clothes and stuff like that lip gloss, definitely. I'm surprised that you didn't say something like hair. Like not the makeup and clothes is a bad thing for like hair because you always switching up your hair style. I know, I really am. Like that's the thing. I actually want to sell oil. Like hair oil, hair growth oil, because my hair, it grows a lot and everybody always be asking me what I put in it. But it's just like a natural oil. My mom make me, I was thinking like, damn, what if I sell this? Cause I think y'all would like it. I think that that would be shit. Anybody is selling anything these days. And we know, especially if you on TikTok, you know what's going on with the pink sauce and all that, like they really selling anything. So I think that's something like that. I mean, we see it. You have your natural hair all the time that naturally makes sense. So if you were to get into the acting space though, like what kind of stuff would you want to do? Is this like movies, TV shows? I would do both. Okay. Honestly, both. I would love to do movies, but I feel like a TV show, like I would do a reality TV show. That was going to be my next question. Would you do a reality show? You would? What kind of reality show would you do? You know what's crazy? I was talking to somebody this morning about like reality TV and they asked me would I ever go on bad girls club? And I'm like, fuck no. Okay. I was like, okay. So you want a baddie? So? Yes, I do. Okay. Love my girl, Christiana. I just started it. Oh, you just start over. You got a whole lot to buy. Yes, definitely love my girl, Shawn down. So you wouldn't do baddies, but what kind of reality show? Like if you had to compare it to something. I would do my own. Like Kim, what is it? The Kardashians? Okay. So just about your life. Okay. Interesting. Would you do like a for the level A type of thing? For the level A. What's that? Like a dating show. I'm not. No. Okay. Only cause like I just. I just feel like dating online is just not it. Like, mm. That's why you would do it in person on a show. I'm cool about that. You're not jacking it. No, I mean, I wouldn't do it either. I just wanted to see what you was going to say. So what can we look forward to like coming from you? Like, what do you have in the works? Well, I got two music videos about to come out. And then I got another song after that coming out. And then I have a project coming out. Okay. That girl working. So that's all for this year? Yes. This is all this year. This is all coming. All of it. Oh, nice. So is there anything else that you want the people to look out for anything else that you want to say before we wrap it up?
