Big Lex Not Da Lil One On Baddies, College Degree After 5 Schools In 5 years, Texas (Full Interview)

For those in the audience, getting to know you here for the very first time, care to share where you were born. I was born in Phoenix, Arizona. And care to share where you raised as well. Um, I was raised in Phoenix, Arizona slash Akron, Ohio. My mom was from Arizona and my dad was from Ohio, so I kind of got the best of both worlds. And what age was that, unless it was moving in between both of those areas throughout your upbringing? Um, well, I was, I think I was in first grade when my parents split up. And my mom took me and my brother to Arizona. I was born in Arizona. My mom moved back to Ohio. They were together for a little bit in first grade. They split up. She took me and my brother to Arizona. I was in Arizona. The rest of first grade, second grade. And then I went to Ohio, third grade, mom, fourth, dad, fifth, mom, sixth, seventh, eighth, dad, 10th, 11th, or no, dad, 11th, 12th. And then I went off to college from there. And care to share where you reside these days. In Texas. And does it get any more specific than that? No. Okay. Now, when it comes to this growing up of yours, from one city to the next, or one area, or one state to the next, however, is best to describe that. Was that your own choice? Was that your own decision making? Do your parents ask, Hey, which of us do you want to stay with? Or was that beyond your control? Those decisions were made on your behalf? How did that work? Um, well, I know my mom and dad, they came up with an agreement because they were together at first. And they split up. It was kind of an agreement upon them that, like, every other school year, they were going to alternate. Um, after fifth grade was my last year with my dad. And I was with my mom six, seventh, eighth, ninth, intense. Um, I didn't mind being with my mom at that time, but my last two years of high school, I told my mom, I said, I want to go back and live with my dad, um, graduate with the people that I started with, because I started school in Ohio, kindergarten. So I wanted to finish with the people that I started with. And I just wanted to live with my dad my last two years. Um, and she kind of, she let me have free will always like, if I wanted to live with my dad for eight years, it was always like my free will. And I have both, uh, equal relationship with both my parents. So, you know, it was more so about me what I wanted to do. But, um, the alternating I didn't mind. And then when I wanted to go live with my dad, I live with my dad. And then, you know, when my mom, they didn't matter. So now there may be some in the audience that are just going through the experience of the split of their parents. This is something that you did relatively speaking early on, like first grade and up. But for some, this could be a little bit later in life. Or maybe similar to you, uh, what do you want to say? Now circumstances could be different for everyone. But what do you want to say to those that, you know, have to juggle living between two different areas and making that decision, making on which parent to be with, not trying to hurt one's feelings. You know, trying to make the best decision they can for themselves. Don't want to feel selfish. That's a multitude of things. Is there anything generally speaking here you want to say to those, going through those motions? Something that you've experienced quite a bit. Um, I really would say like, of course it's always going to be like, oh, am I like favoring one more, one parent, you know, how does the other parent feel that I want to be here? How does the other parent feel that I want to be here? Like, but all in all, I feel like, um, it's just kind of equal with me. Like, it's not, when I wanted to move, it was for my, it's because I wanted to like, I want a different experience, or different people, or different school, or different environment. Like, it was for me, not because, oh, I don't want to be here, but this parent, so I'm going to go with this parent, or did it, uh, but always, you know, um, I feel like, it's always a thought like, oh, am I hurting this one's parents? If I wanted to go with this one or being with this one for too long, or did that, but, um, oh, no, I really would say that your parents should want you to be happy, so do what you want to do, and they should just support you whatever, because as long as you're happy, they should, they should be happy, so, um, I really would just say, just do what you want to do, do what, you know, is best for you. If you want to alternate in between the two, alternate in between the two, I definitely feel like I kind of embrace being in two different cultures at two different states, um, two different weather, two different types of people, um, I got a different, I know how to culture switch. Like, I know how to, um, adapt to my environment, so I really, I learned a lot of social skills. I learned a lot from just being able to have that transition and not just solely be from one place my whole life. And before we talk about culture and things of that nature, what about like holidays, like Thanksgiving or Christmas? I don't know if you celebrate that or not, but let's say you were living with your dad at the time for a year, two or three, would Thanksgiving and Christmas be celebrated there? Do you go to your mom's for that to give her some, like, how did that work? Yeah, it really was kind of like whatever I wanted. Sometimes Thanksgiving, I'll probably spend at home. Christmas, I'll probably spend with my dad, or if I was with my dad, I would spend Christmas with my mom, vice versa. I talk to my parents every day, so it never feels like I'm missing anything from the two, you know, like even if I wasn't with them on a holiday, we're still gonna be on the phone for XYZ on a holiday. So it never feels like I'm not there, if that makes sense. But, um, yeah, that's really what I would say, like, equal, equal, equal. And also, uh, you know, at the end of the day, what brought you to Texas out of all the states you could have landed in? Why Texas? Honestly, I went there a couple of times. I thought I was gonna be like more in the scene, but living in Texas, like, it's really a nightlife city. I'm in a position now to where it's like, I can't have, like, freely fun. I can't just say, oh, I want to go out on a regular Thursday to the club, it's like, I have to have preparation. I have to have things in line before I go out. Like, it's, I have to move a certain way now. So living in Texas, I like it because like, I have my own space. You know, I kind of started on my own in a different state. Um, I used to want to live in North Carolina. That's when I was in college. But Texas, the weather was good. Um, at the time, like, when I had with visit and stuff, like, it was pretty lit. I seen like a lot of opportunity there. But now I'm, I'm there. And, you know, I still love it though. The weather's good. Everything's good. Like, how my own space, everything. But, you know, I might not live in Texas forever. I might move one day. Who knows? Now, Texas is a big state relatively speaking, but still ask you this next question just in case. Now, for those in the audience, okay? Circumstances could be different for everyone, of course. But can you give those five tips for anyone moving to Texas? Five tips. Um, hmm, let's see. Tips. I don't know tips. I would say like five things. Moving to the state of Texas. Anything you want to, uh, it's a lot of traffic. Very, very humid. There is a lot of like food places and stuff. Network with people, network, uh, with a lot of people. And I would say last thing, hmm, it's pretty affordable living. I would say those are like five things that, you know, about Texas that I've learned since I've been there. And out of all those food destinations, do you have an ultimate favorite at this point? Um, hmm, I don't. I've tried a few places, um, I normally am like, uh, I'm very simple. So like a lot of food, exotic foods, like I haven't tried I have tried a couple places. Um, I do like a couple places. But mostly I'll just like eat out sometimes, um, different restaurants. I'll mostly like order groceries and cook me up a little meal. Um, so yeah, favorite, no, I don't feel like I've, I've recently moved there. So I don't feel like I've experienced all of the food that Texas offers. Got it. And how recent of a move was that to the state of Texas for approximately like six months? Now let's zoom out for a second and, uh, you know, get some more background history on you here, especially for those that are just getting to know you again for the very first time. And, and that's something you mentioned, which is culture. And let's break that down a little bit. Now, care to share your race, ethnicity, or nationality. I am black in Mexican. And which derives from your mother's side or father's side? Unless it's from both. My mom is, um, Spanish in Mexican. My dad is black. And what is the main language you speak at this point? English only English, unfortunately. Now be that as it may. Have you ever took a foreign language class in school perhaps? Um, I did take Spanish. school. I definitely feel like I should have, I should know Spanish because my Nana and my Papa's first language was Spanish. They had to learn English. My mom's first language was English. She had to learn Spanish and then us, we didn't learn shit. But I did take a Spanish class but I didn't take it like so serious. Like I feel like I'm if I wanted to learn really I kind of could have maybe ish but yeah. So just curious then when you would spend time with your mother or that side of the family would it be spoken around you at all? Oh absolutely yes like my Papa he's really like you can tell like his accent he has such a Mexican accent like his grammar his the way that he talks is just like you can tell but it's always spoken around me like my whole mom's side of the family is my Nana my my her my great grandma she only spoke Spanish so like I would translate there's always translation around like all my family and my older family they all speak Spanish so my mom my Nana they talked to them they're elders in Spanish and curious here how many grades of a Spanish language did you end up taking grow just one just one just one and was that a requirement back then it was a requirement I wouldn't have I don't I wouldn't took a class to learn Spanish if I was going to learn Spanish I would have just picked up you know I feel like enough Spanish is spoken around me to where I could have learned more than a class and for even more further clarification was Spanish language the requirement or just a foreign language you were just placed in Spanish or you could have chosen a language I think I think a foreign language was required but you can choose what language of course I'm gonna choose Spanish because why would I choose anything else and when it comes to those high school days you mentioned high school and where you finish but you didn't mention the school Keresher the name of the school you attended the college you attended so on and so forth yeah elementary school I went to Harris Elementary that's in Akron Ohio I went there kindergarten half of first third fifth with my mom I went to a couple schools couple elementary's I think one was like Aston Ranch it was a couple schools I when I went to high school I went to Sierra Linda high school that same Phoenix Arizona I went there my freshman in sophomore year and then my junior in senior year I was at Kimmer Garfield in Akron Ohio and furthering your education after that what about the yes and then I went to my freshman year of college I went to Southeast Illinois that was in Harrisburg Illinois my sophomore year I went to Vincent's University that was in Vincent's Indiana my third year I went to Wabash Valley college that was in or was that in Harrisburg Illinois I think that one was I think Wabash Valley College was in Harrisburg Illinois and then I went to Fayetteville State University that was in Fayetteville North Carolina and then I graduated from Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina so I went to five different schools in five different years and you ultimately end up getting a bachelor's degree I did a business administration okay and are there any is it just as simple as that I know sometimes when people will say I majored in this and minored in this and I got a BA in this and a BS or this or no I got it was a business administration yeah and was there any thoughts on furthering your education past that like a master's degree or maybe something further no I really went to college because of basketball that was my key into college like it paid for my college and I was on a full-right scholarship so I was able to get an education for free I don't know if I would have did it any other way than doing or playing basketball and you you excuse me you played basketball during your entire college career was there any thoughts on furthering that sport after college was over with no once if I wanted to make it to WNBA if I wanted to make it farther in the my career to the pro basketball anything I definitely could have because I have the natural talent but I never worked like I was never one of the kids that was staying after practice to shoot get up shots and doing the extra work I did what I had to and I was at the same level as people who were working overtime I just had the natural talent if I wanted to go above and beyond I would have did above and beyond work and got myself to the above and beyond level but that wasn't my necessarily necessarily passion I was I definitely love a sport of basketball got me through college got me in so many doors but that wasn't you had to really really be dedicated to take it like overseas WNBA stuff like that so it wasn't that wasn't I was a business woman so that wasn't something that I wanted to pursue once I graduated college when did you key on into this I don't know loss of passion were you passionate once upon a time was the WNBA a dream once upon a time and at a certain point you're like I'm gonna do I'm gonna just use this for what I need to do the next day no I never like I didn't even think I was gonna go to college for basketball when I was in freshman and sophomore year I played I played on the JB team but I was on varsity I didn't play a lot varsity but the coach was just like training me like she's preparing me for when I did get a 11th and 12th grade year my junior and senior year my dad he's more of like a sports guy like he's more like on it so he kind of like pushed me through basketball you know he was coming to my games my mom was always at work my mom was she was a work of howlick so she was working all the time she made it to games she made it to games when she could my dad he was more so like sports sports sports sports so he was kind of like behind me my last two years of high school and my coach was like well yeah we're gonna get you in a college and you know it was a very small college a juco in the middle of nowhere it was just a little just you feel me it was nothing like it was just so so small and I worked my way but if I would have never went to that college I would have never ended in my career where I ended so but basketball wasn't a it wasn't a I was just naturally good I just used my natural talent and I loved it but I never said I wanted to go to the NBA like I only started playing taking basketball serious my 11th grade year so 11th 12th grade I took it serious and then I went off to college from there but it's and it wasn't like a dream of mine like oh when I grew up I'm gonna be a W NBA player no now you mentioned your father was supportive of sports did he want you in the W NBA was this more of a dream for him I know there's some parents they just support their kid there's others that they want they may want the dream more than the kid and then there's some kids that want the dream more than their parent you know that sort of thing at what would you say zooming out my dad no he never really told me what he wanted of me and if he did say he wanted me to go to a W NBA I still wouldn't win because that's what I would have wanted to do but no it was just really like just always behind me you know through whatever I wanted to do both my parents always just support me no matter what I want to do and you mentioned five different colleges or universities here what what was the reason for each of the five the first was Juco obviously yeah the first was Juco that show that school got shut down because of COVID once my second year of school I had a little incident there so where I was just like you know what it's not gonna work out my third year that was COVID year so I had a full freshman year COVID year was my sophomore year but COVID year didn't count because it was a COVID year so I still had another year of Juco you only can do two years of Juco but because I had a COVID year I was able to get that I got three years of Juco so after my Juco I had graduated from my Juco because my eligibility was up in Juco my fourth year family state I would say that didn't work out either and then it ended up working out in Shaw so I end up having a better season just a better overall like basketball experience at my last school than the school before so you know everything worked out for sure and okay when it comes to you know playing sports and this could be even in your high school days or the college university days did you have the opportunity to play with or compete against anybody that ended up getting well-known or famous themselves. - Hmm, that's a good question. Um. Hmm. No. Not in any of my conferences or any, like anyone that I played against. No, oh, well, in high school, I played against Kiersten Bell. She's from Canton, Ohio. I know she's in the WNBA now, but she was popping, she was popping in high school. So we already knew, like, I feel like everyone already knew she was gonna be, you know, take basketball super, super further. But that's really the one, like, professional that I played against. Um, it was like a little scrimmage or something, but, you know, still played against her. - And you actually played against her personally. It wasn't just your team versus the team she was-- - Oh, no, no. Oh, personally? No, I haven't played against anyone personally. - Okay. - It was my team against her team. - Got it. Now, just curious here, I mean, you mentioned a brief description, like you knew where she was gonna go, you saw her. Did you actually see that talent in her when you played that scrimmage game? Did you, was like, was it like, oh my gosh, she's gonna be in the WNBA for sure? - Um, from what I remember, I remember she did good. It was just a really little scrimmage and their team was like way better than ours at the time, but, um, I just knew, like, you know, she was good. She was good, but it was just a little-- I don't really remember too much, but I just do remember playing against her. - And aside from athletics, what about the academic side? Did any of your classmates or schoolmates in any of the schools you attended growing up, you know, elementary, middle, high school, college, university, did any of them become well-known or famous themselves as well? - Mm-hmm, no. When I think about it, I don't think, mm-hmm, nobody that I can think of. - So really you, you might be the most famous at this point from the different schools and classes that you attend. So what's that been like since you've gained this notoriety and fame, so on and so forth, whatever you wanna call it? Have those that were classmates or schoolmates? Do they end up hitting you up? How do you handle stuff like that? So on and so forth? - Well, I'm still friends with like all of my-- Well, most of my friends from college were always on from the basketball team, so I'm still cool with them near, if not all, of like my previous basketball teammates, like I have them all on social media, stuff like that. However, there were like some people that really just, I feel like some people wanted my spotlight and they necessarily, humbly, I'm gonna say like, I never had to do too much, just period. I never had to do too much at all, like, some people have to do a lot, and it's becomes like an envy thing when you see someone that's not doing something, getting the attention that you want, that you're trying to get by doing the most, and I'm doing nothing. So I feel like that was already like a thing, and then when I got in this position, it was like, damn, like, and now I'm gonna try to, like some people pick at me to try to get a reaction to post on the internet, specifically will text me, like, try to get at me, try to start with me to specifically post on the internet, like Cloud Chasers, that's been like my biggest, like, thing, really like the weirdest thing, you feel me, but I've already, like, I can see what is going on here, like, in the moment when someone hits my phone up and they're trying to start, I see what they're trying to do, I see that you're trying to start, you're wanting a moment, this is the moment that you want right now, and that, I've only had one incident like that, but it really gets like that, and it makes me realize, like, damn, like, people really do be jealous, envious, like, they want your spotlight, and it'd be crazy, shit, really be crazy. - Now, when it comes to this particular example, was this a classmate or schoolmate? - Yeah, this was somebody that I was like cool with in college, and, you know, we was cool, whatever, whatever, but I do definitely feel like it was some type of, like, envious thing, like, it was always just attention, like, a lot of people do want a lot of attention, and now that I'm in the space where I get a lot of attention from previously getting attention, from not being big legs, I feel like it kinda makes people feel a little type of way. - And speaking of the spotlight, what about, like, I don't know, family members out of the woodworks, distant relatives, maybe even friends, maybe, could be a friend you were close with in elementary or middle, maybe, you know, for whatever reason, could be the moves, maybe you're not as close with since then, and, you know, now they're trying to come back in your life, have you dealt with any of these situations? How have you handled that if so, so on and so forth? - Not for my family. I have immediate family, and we all good. As far as anyone else really, or any family members, no, I really would say everyone kinda stayed the same. There was a situation I was friends with somebody we fell out before I got casted, and they didn't know that I was gonna get casted. So they were treated me a certain type of way before they knew. And I was just so humble about the situation. Like, I was telling my partner at the time, like, man, like, such and such got me messed up. Like, they really play with me. Like, they got me over here filling some type of way. Like, you know, it was a friend that, you know, for example, let's say, hey, you wanna go out to eat? Yeah, I'll be there at 10. I'll get ready to leave at 10. No response, no nothing. So this was something that happened a few times. And I was just like, my personal was telling me at the time, like, tell them how you feel today. And I might know because, like, this is how they feel. Like, they're showing me how they feel. I'm not gonna tell someone something that they know that they're doing, and it happens so many times, so many times, so many times. And after the last time, I express my issue. I express, hey, this is, you know, I don't like, this is rubbing me the wrong way, yada yada. No response, week or two weeks later, boom, the cast's announcement drops. I get posted for the first time in whatever, why are you posting me? The last conversation I had, I was trying to tell you how I felt about the weird stuff that she was doing. Why are you posting me now? And it's just like, things like that, that now it's like, I was getting spam with a lot of messages, and oh, I'm sorry, I'm this, I'm that, da da da da. Where was this energy two weeks ago, when I was telling you that I felt some type of way, starting things like that, I could see right through the bullshit. Like, I can literally see right through the bullshit. Nobody's fooling me, like, I'm not dumb, so yeah. - And also when it comes to this spotlight, how do you handle these comments? How do you handle comments on social media, whether it's positive, negative, is it more positive than negative that you receive overall? Is it more negative than positive? Is it evenly balanced? I know there's some celebs that clap back and get really active with their fandom and so on and so forth, some just leave it alone and let them talk and fight amongst themselves in the comments actually. How do you handle all that? - Honestly, I don't really, I feel like I have a lot of love. I definitely have real people that really support me and really love me. And I can tell those people, but I can genuinely tell when someone really fucks with me and like, if I could tell that you're genuine and you fuck with me, I'm gonna fuck with you right back. I'm gonna embrace you right back. Of course it's haters and I feel like because I'm at such a high level in where I'm at right now and I started off, I'm starting off as such a high level doing things and I'm in positions that other girls would like to be in. I'm in a spotlight, I'm beautiful. Like a lot of people are invested in me. Like they wanna know a lot about me but I also have haters that really are just watching me, watching me, watching me. And so they, I feel like more people watch me to critique me rather than watching me to support me. They're still watching, I'm still a thing to them but they're haters. They don't wanna give me my prize, they don't wanna, and you know, some people do say, you know, certain things. I really just ignore it, you know, a lot of people, I feel like they try to rage bait you a lot on the internet. Like they know that something's not true or they know that you necessarily don't like a certain something or something and they'll just bring it all up in the comments and it's just like, they do try to rage bait you a lot. I know it's a lot of like spams and like bots and stuff like that or you know fake Instagram pages and stuff so I never pay attention to the internet because, is the internet is fake. Like the internet is fake, period point blank. So I don't let the comments determine or make or break me at all. - What do you mean when you say the internet's fake? - Like you can be anybody you wanna be. I can be flashing a hundred thousand or I could have a hundred thousand stacked money, a fake money. And y'all gonna think it's real 'cause it's on camera and you know, but I'm going back home to my car, sleeping in my car. Like you, you can be anybody you wanna be on the internet. You own, they're only gonna see what you put out. - When it comes to these critiques, what do you wanna say to the critics out there? - Honestly, I don't give a fuck. I don't go fuck with, nobody has to say about me. I'm still gonna be me. I'm still gonna do what I wanna do. For someone to not be in the position I am or won't ever be, y'all do damn sure have a lot to say. - And this, you know, ID, GAF attitude that you have, have you always had this or was this something you grew into? - No, I feel like I always had it. I just never had people on my body and doing all of this until I got in this position. So I was like, I never really cared. And I don't care even more even being in this position now, but I don't let, like, I think the day I know who I am, I'm secure with myself, nothing that nobody says or feels against me is gonna make me feel different or anything like, I don't care. - And also too, I do wanna ask a similar question when it came to like social media and comments and things of that nature. You mentioned this, you know, at this point in your life, you ignore stuff and so on and so forth and people try to bait you in and to get you to react and so on and so forth, but you don't, you don't take the bait. Were you also always like that too or was that something you grew into? Like were you active with your comment section and things of that nature once upon a time and grew into this ignoring protocol or? - Um, honestly, I feel like I know because before all of my comments were like just positive, like heart eyes, stuff like that. Of course, by the people I knew at that time and, you know, I would maybe reply back a heart or, you know, just reply back an emoji to their emoji. Now it's harder because I get thousands of comments per one post, so I post so often. If I reply to every single person on this post and then I post a post two days later, I'm gonna be replying to the same people. It's just, it gets a lot. It really does get a lot. It really does get overwhelming. But, um, no, I've always been the same from before, I was famous or before I was in this spotlight till now, I've always been the same attitude. I've always been a genuine person. And if you know me in real life, then you know, like I've never switched or I've never let the fame change me. And when it comes to, like, friends and so on and so forth, what is your definition of a real friend? - My definition of a real friend is. Hmm. - How do you know you have a real friend? What are those hints or characteristics that separate them? - I feel like you really don't know, if you have real friends, or you never know something about somebody, how they genuinely feel about you until a specific time comes. For instance, like, having loyalty. Oh yeah, you can, you can, this my brother for 10 years, he's loyal, he's did it. But when you get put in a situation to where his loyalty is tested, that's when you're gonna know his true loyalty. And you'll never know until you know. So it's like, you can say I have true real friends, I have this, I have that, but you never really know. But I would say for me, my definition of a friend is just someone who's genuine, someone you can call on, someone who's reliable, that you can, you know, call on if you need anything, someone that has your back. I feel like it's just the feeling, honestly. And just real, just being real, like you can tell if someone's a little off, and then you could tell when someone's really genuine. So it kind of goes either or hand in hand. - And speaking of loyalty, you mentioned a real life scenario waiting to happen to test one's loyalty, a friend's loyalty. But are you the type that ever do loyalty tests? - No, I, no, I don't do loyalty tests. I don't feel like I have to, I don't have a lot of friends to begin with. First of all, I don't have a lot of friends to begin with. But all of my friends are solid. Like they haven't showed me any weird stuff, any you feel me. If they do, that's a whole different conversation. But my friends right now, my little circle of friends, and they're, we all locked in. - Hey, and also curious here, when it comes to the basketball side of things, what was your position back then? Jersey number, so on and so forth as well? - So my position, I was, I really played the five. Sometimes played the four, but I was mostly the five. I was number, my main numbers was three and 13. I liked three because it was just number three. I know my brother's cousins had number three. I just liked the number three though, and then number 13 I had, it was my dad's number in high school, or in, yeah, in high school. He played football, so those two numbers were like my numbers. I think I also had 32 and some other numbers, but my main numbers that I always chose was either 13 or three. - And also wanted to key in on something you said was the phrase beautiful here. Okay, now on the beauty side of things, how far have you gone for beauty at this point? - I haven't gone far at all, honestly. I haven't, nothing really knew. I feel like kind of being in this position, I were makeup a little bit more, a lot more than I have. I've probably only got my makeup done one time before. Now I do wear my makeup way more. And wigs, before I was kind of more of a natural girl, but the wigs are more convenient to where everything's more convenient. But as far as beauty I've never, I haven't done, and I'm not gonna do anything like nothing. I'm perfect the way I am. - So just for clarification, no enhancements, no procedures, you've done nothing. That everything has been natural. - Yes, everything has been natural, no nothing. No surgeries, no fillers, no nothing. On natural, natural, natural, from heads to toe. - Even the teeth, these are your real teeth. - Even the teeth. - Now have you been questioned or accused of doing something? Beauty wise? - No, I've heard like have I had braces before, but besides that, no. Everything else is kind of self-explanatory. - And for you, excuse me, it sounds like never ever for you at this point on cosmetic procedures and things that nature, why that mentality or mind state for you? 'Cause I'm not, there's nothing about me that I wanna change or there's nothing about me that I wanna switch up or anything like that. I like the way I am and I don't feel like anything is needed. I don't need anything or want anything. - And curious here, what is your opinion on cosmetic procedures, enhancements, things of that nature? - I mean, some people wanna do what they wanna do. So, you know, if someone wants to go get them a BBL and new titties or new teeth or whatever, that's totally up to you. Whatever makes you feel or, you know, makes levels up to your standards or how you wanna look as a person or whatever, I support it. - And just curious here, have you been offered free cosmetic procedures? - I have. - In the past? - Yes, I have. - And how do you handle that or how do you look at those? Do you feel like that's offensive to you? Like how dare you even bring this to my attention? Is that disrespectful to somebody like you that doesn't even wanna go that route or? - No, I would say like, it really, I looked at it more as like an opportunity as if I wanted to, I could. But I politely, you know, it's not my thing. So yeah, look more slowly. of opportunity because if I did want to change something that would have been a great opportunity to capitalize on whatever procedure or anything that I wanted to do. And also curious here, being that you're in the industry that you're in, entertainment industry, relatively speaking for short, is there a pressure to enhance? As happy as you are with your body, is there a pressure from other reality television personalities, recording artists, so on and so forth? Like, what do you mean? Like, is there, is there ever a pressure to enhance your body? Oh, um. Do you feel a pressure? Are there, no, I would say, no, not necessarily. I'm not really, some people have VBL, some people don't. I'm not surrounded by them enough to, like, feel influence to want to get that. And I, you know, I take pride in my natural body, so I would never want to like, or easily be influenced because someone decided that they want to go that route with, you know, their body. And just curious, I didn't know if, you know, someone in your industry, you know, has people that pull you to the side say, hey, maybe you should think about doing this with this, or this, to this, or, you know, when I say people, it could be a multitude of people. This could be immediate family. This could be your team. This could be industry executives of some sort, so on and so forth. So just didn't know if stuff like that ever happened to you. No, not, not up until this point. It has it. I feel like this is still a new, lee level of, you know, success in my career. But at this moment, my career, no. And is that something you take pride in and promote the fact that you are natural? Yeah, I mean, I take pride in it within myself, and, you know, I, yeah. Because just curious here, there are some people on social media. They'll hashtag this stuff. Like in their bio or captions, you know, you've done songs, recorded songs, there's some that, you know, are proud of this and using in bars and lyrics and so on and so forth. Didn't know if that's something that you flexed with was your natural beauty, the fact that you are natural, the fact that you haven't done enhancement, so on and so forth. You know what, I do, I don't ever, I'm very humble, so I don't feel like I ever have to like speak on you feel me, how I look, my natural body, whatever, but like, yeah, look at me respectfully. Look at me. And I say that as humble as possible, you feel me, I know, I know her when I look in the mirror. So I don't have to, and I feel like everyone knows it too. And you look at me, so yeah, as humble, as humble of a person as you are, what is the biggest misconception of you at this point in your life? Biggest misconceptions. Yes, is there a wrong or inaccurate idea? People may have about big legs. I would say, briefly, I'm going to say, people assuming I did things I didn't do. And then as far as like the show wise, I feel like some people thought I was a bully. That was at a point in time where people, like that was a misconception about me that I was like, really, but besides that, no, it hasn't been a misconception. A lot of people tell me in real life, like they thought I was taller on TV. So that might, a few people have told me that. So a lot of people might think that I'm taller than what I am, you know, I am tall, but I'm only taller than that average female. And kid are sure the actual height you are. I'm five, ten, I'm five, ten. And with those numeric figures there, are you the tallest female in your immediate family? Or is there someone even taller than that? No, I'm a tallest in my immediate family. I think my dad's like six to my brother's six foot or six one. My mom's like five, seven or five eight, I think. And speaking of that show, you're on. Do you want to ask you a couple of these questions? Now, is there a difference between a batty and a beautiful woman zooming out? We can take the show out of it. Batty and a beautiful woman? Yes. Is there a difference between those two phrases? A batty and a beautiful woman. Hmm, I would say not really, no. But then again, I think there is a difference between being cute and being beautiful. Or being cute and pretty. But batty and beautiful woman, I don't know, I would think of a batty more as like batty more as like kind of wilder, I would say like more fun, you know, dress like a little bit more, you know, booty shorts and crop tops and like, you know, I feel like a beautiful woman. I'm thinking like more classy, I guess like the opposite from a batty, from a batty. But all in all, I think this is probably like the same thing, really. And what about those levels there? I know you mentioned cute, pretty, beautiful, are those actual levels, or those just words used interchangeably? Like is cute at the bottom, then pretty, then beautiful at the top? Or, hmm, I would say that some might agree that like there is a difference between being cute and actually being like beautiful or being pretty. Cute is like, oh, she's cute, like she's cute, like I think a lot of people are cute. But to the extent of me actually like messing with them or like taking them serious or like being actually attracted to them in that way, it would be a no. But like, it could be like they dress cute or like, you know, they're, they're handsome or they're, you know, in the face, like they're pretty or something like that, like, oh, you're cute. Like, you know, I would never probably mess with you, but you're cute. That's really kind of high. Look at it. I feel like it is levels, but it's not, but some may agree it is, some may agree it's not. So it's just kind of how you look at it, I guess. And did others refer to you as a baddie prior to your appearance on that reality television series, or did your role on it certify you as one? Um, I definitely, I would say people called me a baddie, they called me all types of cute names, baddie, beautiful, pretty sexy. Like, I was just always the one like, you know, always like, they always knew like, I was pretty, I was the pretty beautiful girl like, um, a baddie, um, I don't, I feel like baddies just brought me the opportunity to show the world how much of a baddie I am. And when it comes to that reality television series, again, for those in the audience getting to know you for the very first time, can you share how many seasons on that you've been, what the names of the seasons were that you appeared on, so on and so forth? Um, I, this, I have done three seasons this far. I started off on baddies Midwest, then I did baddies, Africa, and now it's baddies, USA. Baddies, USA is currently airing right now. Um, so yeah, three seasons on Zeus, correct? On the Zeus network. And what's it really like being on that show? I would say, hmm, chaotic, I would say chaotic, it could be chaotic. Um, the environment is like really caddy, there can be a lot of times where like, there's a lot of tension between the girls, um, like for some people on the outside looking in, it would probably be an environment that like, oh no, I cannot do that. I can never do baddies. But for some people like me, it's like natural, it's just regular to me, like I'm not thinking of it in, oh, I can't do this, like do the, and that's why I tell people like, it's not for everybody, like what's for you, what's for you? But clearly baddies ain't for you, babe, like if you talk about, you don't see how we could do it and this and that, this and that, it's not an environment that you should ever be in or around or as work, because you, you clearly can't handle it. Now, was it being in the, you know, growing up playing basketball, being in that environment that got you to be comfortable with a baddies type of environment? Or was it even something other than that that got you comfortable where there are some human beings that would not be able to tolerate that? For me, I feel like it was just. I, it was just my potential, like one thing about me that a lot of people can't say and, you know, but one thing that I can say about myself, anything that I want to do where I put my mind to, it's going to happen. And it has happened up until this point. When I was in basketball, playing basketball, once I graduated, I wanted to be a business woman, da, da, da, da, da, da, and I would be in my dorm watching baddies and I would, I watched the auditions one time and I was like, man, like if I didn't go, if I wasn't here right now, playing basketball in school, I would be at the male auditions and the opportunity, the first opportunity I got to go to the auditions, I went and all I had to do was go after I was done with the audition, I was waiting for my call. No, if Andrew was about it, I was 100% confidence, I'll say 99. But I was 100% confident that I was going to make it. I started treating my life as if I made it. I started, I didn't plan things too far out because I'm like, no, we would be filming by this time so I can't plan this. Really what I wanted to do, I've always did it and I've, I've always did that for myself so yeah. And that was all real. You really got on that show through an audition. You weren't like pre-selected before an audition, nothing like that. You didn't have a relationship with anyone prior to on that show that got you in and hooked you up or? Nope, nope, nope, nope, it was all, it was, it was a me thing. I seen it. As soon as I seen the fire, I called my friend. I said, not just dropped a fire, I'm going. I told my dad, told my mom, when I told my dad, he was, I was living with him at the time. I was a little shy to tell him because like, I didn't know how he would react from me going from this professional environment to now this environment that's like total opposite. I didn't know how he would feel about that. Watching me go through college, graduate, all this. But then when I told him, he was like, go, he was like, go, he's like, do you need me to go with you, do you need me to drive down there with you? And after that, I'm like, if my parents don't care, I don't care. And I end up telling my dad, no, I don't want you to come with me. I want to go by myself. I want to have this, I want this to be personal for me. If I leave out of here and I never get casted, it's for me. I won't feel like I was stoned off because of this or this. I'm going and I'm doing this for myself. So I drove from Akron, Ohio to Detroit, Michigan. And I got me an Airbnb, stayed the night, woke up the next morning, uber, to the play. It was just, it was a whole thing. So yeah, I said I was going to do it and I did it. And now three seasons in, what's your parents' reaction to you being a part of that brand in that series at this point? You know, they support me no matter what, I, it's just, I know that they're happy to see me where I'm at and just like the amount of people that really, really love me. And like even people being out, and of course, they don't know that they're my parents. My dad just called me like, yeah, why'd I go in the gas station other day and this dude was on the phone with his girlfriend and they was talking about baddies. And so my dad, he tiptoed in the conversation, like, oh, y'all watch baddies, like who y'all pay everybody? And they said big legs. And he was like, man, he was so happy, like he was like, man, dude, like my dad has called me before and like showed the phone to people and then like, get all excited, my mom's called me. And so for that, it makes him like so happy. And then like, I feel like I always excel in everything I do. So even now being on baddies is one thing. But being on baddies and being like one of the top baddies is even more like solidified. I feel like. Do they watch every episode? Yes, they do. Every episode, every Sunday. Do they worry about you in these fights? Um, I mean, yeah, I feel like that's always a concern from a parent's point of view, but they don't really have too much to worry about, so you know it is what it is. Now, when it comes to these fights, just like the audition, are these fights real? Yes. These fights are definitely real, they're not fake. Um, sometimes it's petty situations, but they're real fights. You might have more anger in one fight than you do from another fight, but they're all real. Now, I don't know if this applies to you or other cast members for this next question, but like, are these fights real in the sense of, this would be a fight that one would have with one another in a normal setting? Or because cameras are around, because cameras are turned on are people turning up and being way more lit with the fight than if they were, if there were no cameras around type of thing. Definitely. I feel like, um, definitely feel like things are dramatic ice. You step on my shoe and person, it's, hey, you stepped on my shoe, like watch out next time, you stepped on my shoe on the show, it's bitch, you just stepped on my shoe, back to fuck up. And I feel like those are still natural reactions, um, but at the end of the day, we do have a job. And I feel like our patients is low, very low. We don't have a lot of patients in the environment, um, especially being on camera. It's like, you know, we all know, we all know what it is. Everything, I feel like is authentic, um, but a lot of things can be dramatic ice at times. So yeah, I would say that's really like the, the thing being in the environment is that some things are dramatic ice, um, but they're real reactions though, but that makes sense. And what about, uh, you know, some of these beefs or issues you may have with one another? Are these as real on camera that the audience sees? Like, it's not like the cameras turn off and you guys are laughing each other's face, like, oh, yeah, that'll be great for TV, but we're friends on the side. No, you really have smoke with these people on and off camera? Um, um, for me personally, and I'm going to speak for myself, I don't have no smoke or no beef with anybody like off the camera. And the cameras cut, I don't give a fuck about you bitches. I don't look for you girls. I don't, nothing. I'm not bothered, I'm unbothered. I don't care. Some people do be feeling some type of way though. And they'll go above and beyond, start going live, start saying this, start saying that. Like they take this stuff real personal, which I don't blame them because if you got beat up really bad, I'm sure you're going to really feel. Some type of way about me in real life. It's not, it don't matter as much to me if I'm the one beating somebody up. I'm like, like, I don't have no beef ice. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like it's also like point of view. But me personally, I've never, I don't know if anyone has been faking with me or not. But if someone were to start with me on camera, I never blame them. Like I don't, I don't, I don't say, oh no, you try to start with me like, I don't, I don't blame them. And that's just because we do, I understand there's a business side and there's a regular side. I understand both sides. I understand the business side of things and I understand the real life of things. So, you know, somebody might just be doing their job and coming at me. I don't take it personal or like, you know what I'm saying? I don't, I don't blame anybody for if they start with me or whatever like that because like at the end of the day, I still am aware that this is a business. But when it comes to this, uh, reality television show series, is there anything you want to clear up aside from the, uh, bully misconception, anything else that was displayed on the show, any other, anything else here in regards to it? I mean, I feel like I kind of express myself, um, don't think I can't say if I didn't say, I did something, it didn't happen. Yes, that's it, a lot of people get a misconception, but if I didn't say, I did it, it didn't happen. And you know, you mentioned, uh, this current season is going on, uh, aside from this season, will those in the audience see you on any future seasons? Um, maybe, I don't know if this caused me, um, answering, so, so not quite done with reality TV. If, even if it's not Zeus, reality TV is something that, uh, those in the audience can look forward to continuing to see you in some form or fashion with. Yeah, um, I really kind of like to look at myself as just like, uh, influencer, um, not necessarily so much a reality TV star, um, I am a brand ambassador, I am a model, I, um, work for brand deals and, you know, people see my face with, for coding, people see my face for hair, people see my face from baddies, people see me just on the internet being a public figure. So, I don't want to. necessarily label myself as one thing I just would kind of say like I'm just a public figure. I've already established my name you feel me so people know who I am yeah at this point I just I do you know a couple things so I'm not gonna just label myself to one thing. And aside from this reality television show series and season that you're currently on what can those in the audience look forward to you outside of it. Rest of 2026 and moving forward. Yes definitely look forward to just seeing me more really modeling music I'm getting it more into music things like that as far as public stuff you know I have my own stuff going on for myself but as far as public stuff that people are seeing really just you know modeling acting brand deals music YouTube just everything. And do you want to share some of these links so those in the audience know the official handles like the YouTube channel like any of your prominent social media platforms because you know there could be some scammy profiles out there some fraudulent profiles so on and so forth what are the officials whether it's Instagram TikTok whatever so on and so forth. That's a good question. My official Instagram I am Big Lex two underscores one and only Instagram I have a spam account press because it's Lex I think that's what it's called press because it's Lex. My Facebook is Lexus Brienne my Facebook my Twitter I think is I am Big Lex two underscores I think I forgot what my Twitter account name is but I think I have a couple thousand followers like over 10k followers my TikTok is I have two my official one is Alexis dot Radcliffe and then I have like a secondary TikTok I am Big Lex two underscores my Twitch I am Big Lex YouTube I am Big Lex I believe yeah damn I gotta oh snapchat Alexis dot Radcliffe I think that's all of the social media's only fans only nothing no I don't have only. No only fans for you why not on that platform you know what I could and I could make some fake but I feel like it comes down to just morals and and what how you want to portray yourself as a person I know if I go broke today tomorrow I can make a million plus on only fans easy money easy money but morally I don't I don't not say it's bad and I'm not judging anyone who does only fans but for me and my brand and my image that's not my thing that's not something that you know I will get into or you know it's not a platform that just not for me. Safe to say never ever I would say never ever now I have thought of it as in not doing like posting more like a behind the scenes but even though even then the name is like I know what people are gonna subscribe for what they're gonna look for and I'm not posting nothing except just simple stuff I don't people might call me a scammer they might say oh this is not what we signed up for so two of what I'm just like no I wouldn't know.
