Omarion Comes Ready to Cut Up

He was the first person that bowed to me. I'm like, Michael Jackson? Straight up, monogamy versus open relationship. That's what we need to answer, right? - Yeah, both of us. - Oh, okay, go ahead, you go. (laughing) Oh, I see what you do there. - Yeah. - I figured it out. - I'm not doing the light-skinned squint on me. (laughing) - Then, then, then, then, then, then, then. - That's what I'm saying. - You gonna do one called GPS? - Might have to locate that Gucci. (laughing) - I feel like we need to put that in, you know, some make that happen. - Hey, we caught you. We caught you, bro. Hey! - We don't have to scream it. - There's some time with your damn self. - Yeah! - Stop going to a relationship, the relationship. - Or go! (laughing) (upbeat music) - What is up, neighbors? We've got Omarion pulling up to the house today with that main stage kind of energy. He is a multi-platinum singer, songwriter, actor, and one of our NBA's most magnetic performers. Y'all know he had our whole generation on lock when he was a frontman for B2K and y'all remember, you got served. In his solo career has kept him on stage for more than two decades. Fresh off of a versus battle that had everybody talking. And new music of his own, O2, the album we gotta dig into. And new music from B2K on the way. Y'all, I bet he's the kind of house guest that energy just doesn't stop. - You better buckle up, let's get it. - Come on in. - Sir, yes, sir. - Brother, I'm so excited to have you, man. Yeah, have a seat. - Come have a seat. - Man, nice to have you. - Oh, okay. We got some fruits. - What's up, man? - Lil' Avocado. - You're not in there? We call it Gwoks. - We call it Gwoks. - Gwoks in this house. - Yeah, little Gwoks city. - I appreciate that. - Exactly. - He gets some of that. - Now listen, everything here is vegan for you today. - Right. - What you in mind? - I think about it. - You for real vegan? - Yeah. - For like nine years. - I'm sorry. - It's been tough. - No. (laughs) - No. (laughs) - Not even a little bit. - No, man. - It's not in that late, probably not. - You get on the road, it's tough. - It is a little tough. - It's your order and sides. - Basically. - Right. - They have no consideration for us. Yeah, they like giving some corn. - Root. - Beat root. - Right. - They have a bean. You know, heat it up. Little salt. (laughs) I said, we can't get nothing now. - I'm like, we can't get nothing now. - What made you decide to go vegan? - So what happened was, oh shit. (laughs) So what happened was, I stopped eating chicken and meat, and then I was pescatarian. And then I was pescatarian for like, three years. - Okay. - And then I did this parasite cleanse. And after I did the 30 days, I just didn't crave fish anymore. I couldn't, I didn't crave meat. - Really? - Yeah, after the parasite cleanse, I can't get myself to desire a taste for it. - Yeah, like lobster or crab or dungin' this crab. Like the things that I used to eat that I'm like, okay. Tonight, I'm gonna go eat, you know, cracked open dungin' this crab with the garlic. Like, I don't crave it anymore. - That's wild. (laughs) - 'Cause I'm gonna tell you right now that you was talking about, and I was like, I could do this. (laughs) - You know what, a little seafood gumbo right now. - I'm telling you. - Might set the day off right. - Me. The fact that you are still making music on stage for for me, people still losing their minds. (screams) Like, it's crazy. - It's truly a blessing, you know. - Right. - I'm so grateful to still, you know, inspire, you know, 'cause that's essentially, you know, what I'm here for. - Now, did your mama name you, or Mariana? - Well, actually, my, my real name is Omarie. - So, how did the, I, the Ion, come on, come on. - Yeah, the Ion. - The Ion. - Yeah, forever. - So, I'm gonna break that down to you. - Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I knew it was a story, I knew it was a story. - I was always around music. My mom did hair for a lot of musical artists. You know, one being a Kurt Franklin, she used to do God's property here. Did usher's hair before? Did you remain the pre-hair? When he had hair, you know what I'm saying? - So, I was always around entertainers. I used to be in this rap group called The Wild Kingdom, shout out to Ruckus, because he is who dug me Omarie on. Yeah, he dug me Omarie on, 'cause my name, my original name, and so I, he, so I, he, me, is God's gift, King forever. - Yep. - So, he put the, the Olin on the Omarie on. - I love that on. - Matthew is my first name. - Yeah, and it's-- - And it's gift of God. - Let's go. - So, hello. - Right, it's a lot of gifts. It's a lot of gifts to know them. - Especially in your name. - Yeah. - You know, Om is the first part of my, my name, Om. - Which is where you are right now, I feel like. - Yes, that's the frequency of the universe. - You are really, like you are really in this space. When I see you in public, I, you know, and we've been in a few events and stuff together. You have this calm, that's on you. You have this, what feels like this, self-assuredness may be even, that's so strong. - Yeah, I mean, you know, being in the industry as long as I've been in the industry, the ups and downs, the peaks and valleys, you really have to figure out what grounds you in order to really, truly have not just, you know, the big success parts of it, but, you know, also those transitional parts because it's a part of the journey as well. - Yeah, and like, be thankful for all of it. - Yeah, for real. - But get back to the true, the real thing always. - Okay, so I'm speaking of getting back to the real thing. - Okay. - I know you don't drink. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's not my problem. - Okay. - What I mean by that is, that's not my life. (laughing) - I mean, you say that's the problem. - I think. - You knew it, I'll just say, I give you a say. That ain't my problem. (laughing) - Yeah, so I made us, Agra frescoes. - Okay. - 'Cause, you know, I'm big into like the skin, you know, antioxidant, like feed your body, your feed your skin from the inside, not just the product we put on it. - Yeah, yeah. - So we've got baracuia. - Baracuia. - Baracuia? - Baracuia. - Yeah, that's a passion fruit. - Oh, swag. - Passion fruit and cucumber. - Oh. - With a little bit of coconut water. - Swag. - I've never done this before. - Oh, okay, okay. (laughing) - I've never done it before. - He said, oh, shit. You should be today. - Hey, let's check it out. - And then I have got, do you like Tahin? Do you, are you a fan? - Oh, no, not really. - Okay, I'm gonna do Tahin on mine. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - 'Cause I got tequila in mine. - Oh, okay. - So, I'm gonna pour you up. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Appreciate you. - People love Tahin. I tried to get into it, it's a little spicy. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - All the people in the world. All the boys and all the girls. - Ah. - I'm sweating. - Hey. (laughing) - So, I found better than water, lime is the better sticking agent for Tahin. - Oh, okay. - So, you put the lime on the glass, and then you just. - Oh, swag. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Swag. - Yeah, look at that. - That's a lot. - Now, I'ma tell you, when I'm at a restaurant, I don't rim my glass. - Oh, 'cause I'm not about to be in your restaurant licking the cup. - Right, right, right, right, right. - But at home. (laughing) - But at the crib, though. - Yeah, I know. - I know how clean these are. - I cleaned them. (laughing) - Mine is now a cocktail. - Ooh. - Okay. - Boom. - Salud. - Salud. - Salud, yes, sir. - Ooh. - See? - Banger. - You said passion fruit. - Passion fruit, cucumber. - Okay. - Low salt. - Oh, yeah. - A little coconut water. - Oh, yeah, that's fresh. - Right, fresh. - It's fresh. - What do you think? - Yeah. (laughing) - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm glad you like it, brother. - Yeah, no, great, man, thank you. - I'm gonna be honest with you. If you wanna try with tequila, I have you and I guess. - No, no, no, no, no, cool. (laughing) - Okay, so, bruh, the versus battle. - Yeah. - I know y'all was on that stage, like. (laughing) So, in the spirit of the versus situation, I think we play a little get to know you game. - Okay, so. - Go versus round two. - Let's go. - Let's go, this or that. - Okay. - So, we're on this subject, brother versus. - In your mind. - Yeah. - When you stopped for the rickie come out the first time, you was like, ah. - I was thinking, then, then, then, then, then, then, then. - Then, we'll sign this up. (laughing) - Yeah. - Hey. (laughing) - I mean, what a great experience, man. - Yeah. - It was so fun. - Yeah, it was, and you know, we just got off a tour together. So, you know, that banter, that vibe, that energy, we just picked up from tour, man, you know what I mean? So, it was a great experience, man. - What did you think of the rules? No solo music. - Well, see, he made that rule up. Pleasure, he made that rule up. You feel me? You can't be on the platform and making up the rules, fam. It's that scene, that scene. And he still did some of his solo songs at the end. I'm just saying. - I'm just saying. - I'm just saying, "Pee, we caught you." We caught you, bro. We caught you, man. You ain't even charging this, man. - You know what I'm saying? - I'm just saying. - You on the board. - All right, come on. You're like, no solo regga. I mean, the conversation online, it was like one of the most talked about things that was happening and I feel like it had to be reassuring to you, especially as B2K's got new music about to come out and that kind of thing. It's gotta be reassuring that there's still this interest, this curiosity and this want for music from you. - When you really dive into the journey of B2K and our time together was really short, you know, how impactful it was for it to be coming around, you know, it's just, it's what I feel like all artists really want at the end of the day. - Of course. - You know, I'm saying like people that have been with them on their journey and through the ups and downs, the differences of opinions, it's like we're up next in line when it comes to, you know, those people that I look up to, you know, like Michael Jackson. And I mean, even some of our immediate, you know, Beyonce, you know, she's still gigging. She's still performing, she's still. - You see what you can do, come on. - Come on, what is this? How would the family combo in the kitchen, like, all right, so look, Blue, I need you to come and do this, learn this part right here and then beat. You're gonna sing that part and she's like, yeah, I want to sing this part because you know, she's got some ideas. - The family recital. - Come on. - I mean, incredible. - I bought a pinstripe suit. - Yeah. - I was like, I can't wait to wear this. - Yeah, that's tight. ♪ Do you think you are ♪ - Come on! - Stayed up, incredible. - And it's also like to think about that album that time, an anniversary tour. - Yeah. - You know, which I'm a three decades plus. - Your music, you have that. - Yeah. - I will never not be grateful, you know, for that connection to have, you know, stayed open all of this time. - Yeah. - You know, and also just to piggyback off of the verses. That's one thing that, I mean, my group spoke about earlier when we came back together for the tour. - Yeah. - Was how to support each other. And that has never happened for me, you know, in inside of my group because, you know, we, you know, broke up, it got back together and so on. - Yeah, y'all were way too young. - Yes. - I shouldn't say way too young. Y'all were so young. - Yeah. - You were becoming men, you know what I mean? You were still young guys becoming men. You didn't have to, weren't equipped with. - Exactly. - The things that you would need to be running businesses. - Exactly. - And since you are when you're a group. - Exactly. - And I don't, you know, and I think that that's why it came back around, you know, for the higher level of experience, like support. Like, oh, we want you to do your record. This is the transformation of us. You know what I'm saying? So when people are seeing us together and I'm doing my solo, it's because they support me. - Yeah. - Just like everybody should support each other. - What they say when the ships rise with the tides. - Ooh, okay. Swag. (laughing) - I thought I had it. I really thought I had it. - This ride. (laughing) - With the tides. - I met with the wrong part. - That was good, though. I was sleeping all over you. - But I really thought I had it. I was like, you saw me pause. I was like, no, nigga, not. When the ride, I was like, don't say that. - Oh yeah. - That's how you always started. And that's not it. (laughing) - I'm panning. - I'm panning. - I panic. - With the tides. - Say we go with that. (laughing) - Neighbors, I spent half my life sitting in this vehicle, driving the studio, sitting in traffic, getting the car washed, sitting in traffic, driving the events or dinner, sitting in traffic. But thank God I can listen to audio books on Amazon Music Unlimited to get me through it. And right now, I'm listening to Becoming by Michelle Obama. And let me tell you, her voice is so soothing, too, 'cause I imagine me getting ready to go off on the car that just cut me off. And then suddenly, you hear in surround sound mind you, when they go low, we go high. Michelle, we are becoming who we're meant to be, but I'm not there yet. But it just lifts you up. And that's what I love about audio books. You can be driving, working out, even cleaning your house. And suddenly, all that time that's passing feels like it's giving you something back. And with an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription, now you get access to audio books, too. So that's music, podcasts, audio books, all in the one app. Amazon Music, get into it. - Yes, first. - Oh, all right, all right. - Help me, help me, help me, give me a guess. - That's right. - You good? - That's right. (laughing) - You know, 'cause you'd be like, you'd be looking at it and you don't say nothing. - Yeah, thank you. - Come on, man. - Thank you, because people would just let you look crazy. - And there's two kind of people in the world. One that would look at your ass like this, right on your lip, like you need to get there, no one would say nothing to you. - No, no, no, no, no. - And a person who will. - Yeah, yeah, no, no. - 'Cause we all appreciate it. - Come on. - Could you imagine if I said this whole episode, Tahini episode. - Might have been so mad at your ass. - I even like singing the same thing. (laughing) - Okay, guess first. You go first. - All right, cool. - Cool. - Ranch versus hot sauce. - Which wins, ranch versus hot sauce. - Man, this is difficult. - You only get one. - These are two different palettes. For two different purposes, you know what I'm saying? - But I feel like it's two different people. 'Cause like a person who says ranch over hot sauce. - Right. - That's the personality type. - That's true. And I was leaning on hot sauce. - Exactly. - Right, yeah. - I think 'cause I don't know if there's many vegan ranches. - That's true. - They got eggs in 'em. - Yeah, and milk and cream and shit. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. - You end up with a chimichurri trying to make the vegan. - That's true. - Yeah, that's true. So I'ma go hot sauce. - Hot sauce. - Yeah. - I'ma say the same thing. - Okay. - Have you been around people who put ranch on everything? - I used to be that person. - I'm sorry. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I used to put the ranch with the hot sauce and the ketchup, potato situations. - All together. - All together. - Boom. - Boom. I'm telling you, the ranch with the hot sauce. - Okay. - And the ketchup. - Think about that mix. - Oh, wow. - Yeah, wow. - We got no wins somewhere with the ketchup. - You gotta try that out. - Get you on the other side. - Yeah, yeah, I need that mix. - You put it all together. - I need it that mix. I don't do it no more. - Yeah, no, 'cause they got some. - They do, they do got some. - But they ain't good. - No, they ain't good. - No, they ain't that good, they ain't good. - They just started being able to get vegan cheese to milk. - Right, that's true. - So I'm not so don't know, don't get me wrong, vegans. I support you. - Look at us here today. - Yeah. - But just some of that shit, you gotta just give it up. - Are you the kind of person that in your vegan food practice, do you search for like meat recipe replacements? Like are you eating like barbecue tofu? Like, you know what I mean? - Oh, this is a vegan chicken nugget. - I'm not like a big tofu person. I have tasted it where they have made it really, really good. But I think it really boils down to texture and flavor. Like, yeah, of course sometimes, because they have meat substance out there, I don't know how good it is for you. - Right. - But I know that, like it kind of achieves that bite. - Yes, and also too, you know, I'm gonna tell you a vegan secret, you know, some people eat ice cream, you know what I'm saying? Some people put a little bit of milk into their diet, just because they can't give it up. So that's like cheese, that's the vegan cheese. But you're not eating animals. - You are megan. (laughing) If you got milk in there, you mean. - That's true, that's true, that's true. - But I get it, because that'd be hard to give up. Sorbet don't do the same thing. - I love sorbet. I love it. - It is, it's delicious, right? - Right, it's delicious. - But ain't nobody like, "Hey, you wanna go grab some sorbet?" It's too much to even say it on your tongue. - Here we go. Bunny versus fine. - Ooh, damn. I'm gonna be honest with you. - Right, right. - If you're funny enough, you don't become fine. - That's true, that's true. - But funny can get weird too. I guess they can both get weird. - Yeah, fine get real weird. I probably would go with funny too. - You would? - Yeah, because I think funny is more lasting. - Yeah. - I wanna laugh together. - Yeah, straight up straight up. - That means you're waiting for you to get ready. - Yeah, yeah. And fine shit, without the funny is like, or without nothing else is just like, you're just looking at something. - Yeah. - Which don't get me wrong. - Yeah, great. - Yeah, great. - Most definitely. - But, and the long run? - Yeah, yeah, we need a little funny. - Give me some funny. - Yeah, yeah. - Funny wins. - Straight up. - Okay, Solo Act versus Group Act, when you went solo, originally from B2K, was that like a desire you had all your life or was that kind of presented to you? Like, hey, is this time for this what you gotta do now? - It was a desire that I had, but it was before I met the group. I always felt like, you know, the group was something interesting and expansive. Like, it's not just about me. Like, it's cool, that's about me, you know what I mean? Like, I do my thing, you know what I mean? I always, especially as a man, take whatever accountability, you know, for what I wanna put out in the world, and what I should receive back in return, you know what I mean? So, I think as a man, we all have that. So, we're all Solo Act. - Bringing our expertise perspective skills to the group. - To the group. So, it's like, you can't really be good in the group if you don't have any assets. I know that's right. So, I think it's hard to say, you know what I mean? Because I think that in the right group, wonderful things can happen, you know what I'm saying? But in the wrong group, the horrible shit can happen, you know what I'm saying? But if you buy yourself, you know what I'm saying? If it happens bad to you, you can't blame nobody on what you sell. - It's all over you. - It's all over you, you feel me? So, I think that they kind of serve different purposes. - Yeah. - I think I would wanna be in a group. - Yeah, yeah, straight up. - Because like, I just wanna play my part. - Right, right, right. - Second row. - Right. - But with always with a crazy face. - Straight up. - Like I would have been scary spice. - Always with a crazy face. - Not that she was in the front though. - Right, right, right, right. - But like, I'd have been. - But I'm not, I'm funny, I'm not fine. But I'm so funny, I become fine. Look at Jurena, you look what? See? (laughing) But I would need to be in a group. I need like a, this is my way. This is not played as part. - No, groups are so much fun, man. - Yeah. - Especially when you walk into a place, you know what I mean? Because everybody has different flavors and different tastes. So it's just like a group of, you know what I mean? Source coming through. - Yeah. - It's like, oh, you like this sauce, that's for you. Oh, you like my sauce, I'm for you. - Saucey. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - It's a saucy time. - A saucy time. - Yeah, I mean, even the Jonas Brothers, Kevin. - Yeah. - Somebody want him. I'm just saying. He been married the longest. And see the thing about the group is there's someone for everyone. - For everybody. - For everyone. You don't even gotta want that person one. Well, you know what I mean? It's somebody for you. - Were you ever confronted with the idea, with the notion that you were like, that people, like, we were literally choosing people in the group? Like, that's mine, that's mine. You know, like girls are like, yeah. - He's mine, he's. - Were y'all aware that that was happening? - Of course. - And I think that it worked for us even more because we were proud of that. (laughing) You know what I'm saying? 'Cause we was like, wait, man. It's like a type of vibe. Oh, she, yo, type of vibe. I ain't tripping off of that. Oh, she's saying no, but why is she entertaining me? Oh, okay. - Oh, she's gonna be, so this. So it's like, you kinda gotta let the ladies do their thing. - So you gotta fall back and you gotta let it come to you. - You're saying? - Yeah. Why you, no, it's all good. How you doing? Oh, you, oh, okay, yeah. (laughing) - It doesn't hurt that your name is Amaria. (laughing) 'Cause you could just be like, "Oh, oh, hey, what's your name?" - Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. - Yeah, it wouldn't work if your name was Robert. - All right, I had a same, my name is Tom. - Oh, T? - Oh, T actually could work right now. - All right. - That's T. - Right. - Ah, this is interesting. - Okay. - Who has a harder-windating, especially initially, I'm gonna add that caveat. - Okay. - Who has a harder-windating right now, men versus women? - I would say that it's equal. - Love is a battlefield. - Period. And also, I think that, you know, the general consensus of how a man should present himself is like kind of up for a conversation right now, you know? - Yes, what is masculinity and how to present or the concept of courting a woman, you know what I mean? But that woman is changed. You know, if you're a powerful woman and you have a job, then, you know, the approach is a little bit different. So I wouldn't put it on the man or the woman. I would say it's both. - And a lot of ways I agree with you. - Yeah. - But in a lot of ways, I think it's women have a harder time. - Okay. - Because I was having a conversation with a friend of mine. We left a place at the same time, right? I was unaware that when she gets home, she walks on the side of a park to get into her place in New York. I never had to consider her being afraid for her life or the fear of being assaulted. - Yeah. - Just getting home. - Yeah. - Like, blind dates. Women are like, I'm not, you know, here blind. - That's facts, that's facts. - Blind? - That's facts. - I got eyes. - They be nervous. - Yeah. - They be like, wait a minute, hold on. - Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. What are we doing? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Who's drinking this? - I'm not drinking it. - It's true, and I have a daughter, you know what I'm saying? - Wait, how old is she? - She's young. She's just 10. - 10 is where you start, like, don't you start having conversations about like, what is appropriate for somebody to be talking to you? - Exactly. - How someone can talk to you in that kind of thing. What are those conversations like? - It's really about awareness because kids are innately and keenly like sensible, so they can feel when something doesn't feel right or wrong, you know what I mean? Even if the conversation isn't going the right way, so I always have the real adult conversation with them about awareness. - Like, listen to that feeling. - Yes. - Understand that. - And look at people, look at people, see what feel their energy, see what they're going through. You know what I mean? If you feel like you need to protect yourself, you need to do that. - Do that. - Right. - And don't feel no kind of way about it. - I know that's right. - Don't feel no kind of way up. - You can even ask that question, which is harder to raise. - Yeah. - Young boy, your young girl. - Yeah, it's tough these days. - My mom is going through it with my little sisters. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, no, straight up. And it also helps to be like on one core with your partner. - Yes. - You know who you've had the child with 'cause essentially they're both of you guys. So they're going to be inquisitive, they're going to be curious. You know, so I think as a dad is a dad's job to make sure those real conversations are happening. - Yeah. - Even if it's a little uncomfortable. - Uncomfortable. - You know you ain't supposed to be doing that. Why are you not supposed to be doing that? - You know what I mean? - Are you the authoritarian? Are you the discipline in the household and the family? - I guess you could say that I do. - You didn't know why are you, 'cause you went into dad mode. Now why are you doing that? Because you know, I want the kids to think and to use their brains. And to be like, wait a minute, what did I do that? What was I persuaded by something? Was I inspired by something? - Right. - Or am I being manipulated? - Yeah. - You got that choice. And I think that as a parent is our job to make them aware of that. It's up to you. It's okay. You will make mistakes. - Come on, parent. - Come on out. Come on, be a dad. (laughs) You feel me? - Come on, father. - Crazy kids. That's what when I'm going, the community got to deal with the right. And that's what other people who don't have kids don't understand. Because it truly takes a village. You're going to go to some school. And it's going to be a community there. - Right. - Look, if one of these kids got some issues, your kid is going to be confronted with it. - Right. - And they need to know how to, okay. You know what, dad. I'm just letting you know. (laughs) The kid is saying, he did it, did it, did it, did it, did it. All right, why'd he say that? He said, next time he messed with my sister, I'm going to push him. I'm like, I'm going to go butcher. - All right. - Well, son, just know if I get that phone call, you know what I'm saying? You got to have those. - Life's about choices. - We got to have those conversations. - Yeah. - So I love being a dad, man, for that reason. - Yeah, my mom was, get your lick back kind of mom. - Oh, okay. - She was like, yeah, they hit you, you get that answer. - Right. - Right. - You know, you come let me know. - Remember, I get that hit back. - Straight up. - You let everybody who's whoop on you. - Exactly. - Yeah. - She was also 20. - Okay. (laughs) - She was a very young mom. - She was a very young mom. - She was, she was actually 16. - Yeah. - Come on, young mom. - Come on, let's go run around. - I mean, no, not now. Like, no, no. If you are happy to be a young mom, thank you for your service. - Yeah. - But also, like, listen, I just want for your life, the best thing for you, you know what I mean? - Yeah, most definitely, take your time. - Please, thinking about that, like her life mirroring my own. - Right. - I would have a, I would have a 20 year old right now. That's crazy. - No, but that's great. - No, that's, that took my breath away. - Yeah, not straight up. - Whoo. - The 20 year old today. - Today. - Oh my God. - Oh yeah, stressful. - Gen Z. - Big love. - Oh, it's Gen Z. - Oh. - You know, they charted up.

That's for me to answer, right? - Yeah, both of us, yeah. - Okay, go ahead, you go. (laughs) - Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. - Go ahead, go ahead. (laughs) - It's okay, go ahead. - Go ahead. - I am gonna say this, my preface. - Okay. - I think people should have relationships, structures that work for them. - Okay. - That actually work for them. I think people should be more free to explore and determine what that is. - Right. - For me? - Well, you know, open situation, I never had nobody. I mean, it does sometimes hurt somebody. - Yeah. - What I mean to say is I think an open relationship can be a fruitful, positive experience. - Yeah. - So can I closed? - Yeah. - But I think monogamy, the assumption that everyone should be monogamous is tough. - Straight up. - What about you? - Yeah, I would agree. I would say that in my experience, monogamy felt like, it was something that I had to do. And as I continued to grow and experience, throughout the difference of connections and relationships that I have with women, I'm not sure that concept without it feeling natural and free to me because I think a man can be one woman, but it has to be his choice. - Yeah. - It has to be his choice and it can't just be in the confines and concept of a relationship which sometimes are titles. - A performance. - Yes. - Yes. - So for me, I would agree with you. I think that if you are in the business of love, because love is a business as well, I think that you should be open enough to allow someone to be honest to express themselves. Not everybody can handle that. - And what you mean love is a business? You mean like only fans? - No. - What you mean love is a business? - No, I mean love is a business like in reference to how you're connecting with someone. Let's just say if I get with a girl, you know, and nobody knows her. Tomorrow, that's a business for her. - Oh. - Yeah, that's a business. - Woo, don't be famous. - That's it, it's tough. - It is. - Whoa, I never thought about that like that. - Yeah, because everybody looking at you and they're like, "Well, what does she do?" (laughing) - What does she do? You know, outside of loving you. - Who is she, right? - Yeah, that's what I meant. - Wow, love being a business. - Okay, here's my question about open relationship for you. - Yeah. - Are you the kind of guy that's like, I am in an open relationship. You are in a relationship with me. - I think that I have came across girls that are like that. I would say that I am not completely interested. I have not been interested in the past of completely connecting with someone like that, just because there is, I think the man and the woman hold energy different. - Yeah. - And I think that for a woman that is open to a lot of different energies. Like, I don't know how attracted I am to that element. So, while I was one a woman to still choose where she would want to be, I could also accept that, like, maybe she wants to go elsewhere, but there's levels. There's levels to it. - We not just outside. - Yeah, there's levels to it. 'Cause, you know what I'm saying? The energy guy. - I don't know if that means that, okay, but you gotta come home. (laughing) - There's some levels to this, baby. Okay, so what are you doing? Oh, okay, so what do you need? - Right. - 'Cause I got all of that. - Okay. - I got all of that. - I'm right. - I'm learning something about a mother of you. - We got it. - Yeah, that's it. - Okay, let's see. It's no 'cause I get it. 'Cause I think a lot of men who are in heterosexual relationships have a hard time with a woman having the same freedom or space in an openness of their relationship that they might have. Meeting someone who's like, yeah, I'm out here just like you out here. - Yeah. - Is a condition most men cannot accept. - That's true. - In an open relationship. And I think it's sometimes hard for women who would or wouldn't, it's like, but it's got to be good for the goose, the good for the gander. - Yeah, and then also as a man, you got to be realistic. Like, you don't think she got nobody on the line? - Right. - But you don't think ain't nobody taught. So to me, that is the kind of entry way that I like to at least have a conversation about what's realistic, because if you're a queen that decides to keep her energy, and she doesn't only experience with multiple energies at a time, I respect that too. I actually like that. I'll probably prefer that a little bit more, because that means that you have, you know, personal, energetic integrity. - Right, don't get me wrong. I know you didn't deal with some folks now. - Let's not just, let's not play this game now. - Strict parent, or best friend parent. - That's tough. You're gonna be best friend, which one are you gonna be? - I had strict. - Damn. - My mama was not, she was like, this ain't the Kool-Aid house. - Right. - You ain't spending the night nowhere. - No problem is love, though. - Wow. - I don't know if best friend parent is love. I think some of that's fear. - Okay. Well, best friend win, because your kids do grow up. You can approach it like, well, what would I do for my friend? You know, they're not your friend. - No, they're not your friend. - That's your kid. - Yeah, that's your kid. - I do what's best, but if you would give your best friend advice, it would be the best advice. It would be the best advice. - I hear what you're saying. - I'm just saying. - You're trying to get around it, but I hear what you're saying. - I do believe in boundaries and guidelines and rules, and when you have a strict parent, I just don't know how much love you actually get from a strict parent versus one that is going to befriend you. - Let me tell you, when I was getting whoop, she told me it was because she loved me. - Okay, that's what I'm saying. - That's true though. - What do you want to say to love you? - She was a real sergeant. - 'Cause she was my man dad. - Oh, okay, yeah. - All right, brother. - Yes, sir. - Whoop your kids, that's the daughter of a store. - But tell them you love 'em while you're doing it. - Tell them you love 'em. (laughing) (upbeat music) - Man, appreciate the vegan curry. - Right? - It's delicious, man. - I mean, I would eat that. (laughing) - You know what I mean? - I could eat Jamaican food, Caribbean food. - Come on. - Latin food, Colombian, Puerto Rican. - Yeah, anytime I go to Europe, I make sure I stick to those flavors. - Yeah, I'ma tell you, London. - Ooh, talk to me. - Great, great food. - English food. - No. (laughing) - Hard path. - Yeah, I'm looking for the first and nearest Jamaican restaurant. - Yeah, no? - Or Indian. - Yeah. - 'Cause the spices be bright. - Also. - But like Lebanese. - Right. - How lat me. - Right. - You know, you get your little Middle Eastern situation. - Straight up. - I'm with it. - Eating fish and chips at a pub. - Oh, pass, hard pass. - Cultural experience. - Had it. - Yeah. - Let's show, for sure. - Next. - I have a question for you. - Yeah. - I mean, like when you were a kid, I know you talked about your mom, artists always being around you. Musicians always being around. But like, did you know that you would be famous for making music that you know that you would be, if this would be your life? - Yeah, I mean, I felt like my life was preparing me for my purpose. You know, my first dance recital was at five. So I've always, in essence, been preparing myself to be a performer. - What did you dance to? - It was a Michael Jackson song. - Of course it was. - For sure. - Of course it was. - Of course it was. - Did you have the experience as a kid watching Michael Jackson like, "Oh, that's what I want most definitely." - As a singer and a dancer, who doesn't? - Yeah, that's true. Now I got to meet him too. - What? - Yeah, I got the chance to meet him. - Why don't we just now talking about this right now? - Yeah. - We didn't been in the house. - Right. - Wait, what was that like? - Man, that was different. That was different. He was the first person who bowed as a show of reverence. I hadn't been to Japan as a young man. So I didn't know people there. They bow as a show of respect. - Yeah. - He was the first person that bowed to me. I'm like-- - Michael Jackson? - Straight up. He was like, "I'm like, why is he bowing?" - Right. It's like, "Oh, that's respect." - What did he say? - So I forget what B2K was doing. I think we were either preparing for a show or in rehearsal or something, but we was all together. - Okay. - I forgot who woke us up, but somebody woke us up. I was like, "Yo, y'all wanna go see Michael?" And the boys, they didn't wake up. It was two of the boys that didn't wake up. They dreaded that to this day. - Oh, yeah. - They dreaded that to this day. - To this day. - To this day, they'd be like, "Yo, y'all don't wake up." So I'm like, "No, we tried to wake y'all up." But, yeah, Rodney Jerkins is the reason why we were able to go up to the video set, which was I think on the back lot of Paramount. So we went up there and then, you know, he just came walking up with his hands behind his back. He smiled, put his hands together, he bowed. - What? - He was like, "Yo, let's be two K." You know what I'm saying, just the boys. And I was just like, didn't know what to say. I was like, "Exactly, like that." I was like, "You know what I mean?" And then, he laughed at Rodney, he was like, "Rodney." You know what I mean? Talking to Rodney, I'm like, "Oh, it's all okay." For something like, "Love you, man." Yeah, you're the best. - That's crazy, yep. - My cousin has a story about meeting Michael Jackson in a Sam Goodey in Indianapolis. - What? - She was in the music store, like the CDs and tapes and all that stuff. She's in the store. I tell it like, it happened to me sometimes. I'm not gonna do it today 'cause she might see this. And she'd be like, "Hey, I used to go take my store." - But every other time I've told this story, I was in Sam Goodey, okay. She was in Sam Goodey, they shut the store down. She hid so that they couldn't get her out. - Oh wow. - She hid and in walks Michael Jackson. - I think she handed him like a Erica Badu CD or something. The first thing she could grab. And I was like, "Will you sign this?" And he's like, "Oh, I'm not gonna sign Erica's." I was like, "This." - Oh. - It was his own. - That's crazy. - I said, "What did you say?" She was like, "I think I just screamed." (laughing) She was like, "I totally understand why people just, "I now I get why people pass out and stuff." 'Cause she's like, "You just cannot help it." - Yeah, his energy was just on another frequency. - You just lose your mind. - So when you think about the trajectory of your life, when did you feel like you knew it was happening? - I think it was after our first award show performance. You know, we were always, you know, putting ourselves in positions to display our talent and skill. You know, we were always performers. So after that first award show, when we flew in at the BET award, I mean, it was epic. It was like, "Okay, now the world know who we are." - Right, but also like, now that's how we started this. - Exactly, exactly. Now we gotta do another one. - Yeah, that's an elephant or something? - Yeah, it is straight up. - You know, that pressure I would imagine too, it's a lot, it's over y'all. - 16, 17. - Whoa. - Yeah, we were kids, we were kids for sure. I mean, we was having a ball too though. - Yeah. - Yeah, we was having so much fun. - I'm not so much fun. Maybe too much fun. - Yeah, I'm not so much fun. - Buying all kind of shit. (laughing) Buying criss, buying cars. - What was your first plurge you bought? Do you remember what it was? - It was a $5,000 that I didn't have. Okay. - I'm famous and I'm rich. - Yeah, I deserve it. - I bought a lock man. It used to be this watch back in the day. It was a lock man and it was like all ice-pavating. It was a red band and I could change out the bands. That was the first version when I got my first check. I think it was like for 10,000. Five of it was gone. (laughing) Five was gone, y'all. - You walking around like this. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at it. - In the music video, like. - Yeah. (laughing) - Look at me straight up. - We were not taught how to manage that kind of money. I'm not gonna speak for you, but I didn't have a lot of family members that operated on this kind of level of income. - You know, don't get me wrong. There's some that can be taught, the basics of money management can be taught, you know, by any parent, that kind of thing. But my mama wasn't even the best with her money. For real, she can't teach me. I mean, she taught me, I need to have a savings account. - Right. - And need to put some in your check-in. - Exactly. - But like, how to deal with a credit card? - That's facts. - Who was there for you learning some of those lessons? Or did you have to figure it out your own, too? - I figured it out. - I figured it out. - You know. - Not you went to the light-skinned screen on me. (laughing) - No. - You figured it out. (laughing) - Because you're right. And especially being that young, I believed I moved out of my house and started paying rent by 16. - Yep. - Even though I thought I knew the math, the math still wasn't math. - Yeah. - You know, it taught me one valuable lesson that that is is that it is important to find other strategies to stretch your money, you know? And that doesn't just mean saving your money. You know what I mean, like it means investing in things. It means like, you know, putting your money with things of value. - Yep. - 'Cause I wasn't still in my, I love clothes. - Yeah. - I love to spend money on clothes, but it's like, am I really gonna wear, am I gonna really wear a $10,000? - Nah. - Yes. - I'm gonna wear one time. - I'm gonna wear it a lot. - No. (laughing) - Is he? - I'm gonna wear that to the grocery store. - Yeah. No, I definitely. - I've always wondered, especially with groups that have had major success early in the group's existence. - Yeah. - And then explode into what feels like a whole bunch of money. I don't know if it actually was. How do you then navigate some of those scenarios? - It definitely was a bunch of money. The way that it's managed though, it really makes the difference of appreciation, respect, and consistency in your life. And I think that those were the lessons that I paid for more than anything. It's just really doing my due diligence and making sure that I'm representing it in a proper way because at the end of the day, I always got to go on the stage and I have to fulfill a type of duty. So when the pie comes, I can't just be leaving with half of the pie. We all got to get our cut. - Exactly. - And everybody got to eat. - Good. - Yeah. - But sometimes the boss eats less. - He got through it in chief. - Hey, you know it's expensive. - I ain't never seen if they say vegan owner is at least $2, $3 more. - I'm just saying. - Yeah. - And you'd be like, "It's vegetables." - Right. - And even don't mean anything. - He said, "No, that's sauteed living good." - That's living good. - I got it. That's sauteed living good. - Living good. (laughing) - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. How are you doing is a question we take more seriously these days. We even talk more openly about our mental health and mental wellness, but it can still feel hard to ask for and get the help that you need. BetterHelp's 2026 State of Stigma Report surveyed 2000 Americans and revealed that 85% of Americans believe getting support is wise. Yet 74% say society discourages people from doing so. So that belief stops so many people from taking that first step. I've been in therapy and it was a game changer in my life. But finding that first therapist did feel like a big task. Well, BetterHelp does the initial matching work for you. They typically get it right the first time, but if you're not happy with your situation, you can also switch it at any time.

It was so many changes going on at the time in the industry. - Yeah. - And in the business, particularly our group, 'cause when we separated, it wasn't of our own will. It was kind of separated through the business of us. And it was like, okay, well, y'all stay over there. We're taking, oh, you know what I'm saying? - Oh, snap. - Yeah, so it was not a lot of preparation and consideration and intention and going into my solo act. It was kind of like we were upset with each other and it was like, this is my response to that. Now I'm going to do an album. Now I'm going to work with this person and this person and that's kind of how it came to be. That's why I was telling you earlier when I said having my group support. Because of course, you know, like if you just flipped on the other side, then how would you feel? - How would you feel if you like, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up. It was tough that first go out, but I will forever be grateful for the success, you know, having a number one album, having a number one song, you know, a song that represents my name, oh. - Do people shout it at you when they see you? - Oh. - All the time. There you go. - Oh. - I mean, like, uh. - 'Cause I've done it. - Yeah. - Oh. - Yeah. - Who is it, the BTW? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's the Grammy. - That's it. - That's it. - Oh. - You can't knock. - Yeah, you can't knock. - Bro, when Icebox came out. - Yeah. - You know, you fucked a whole bunch of people up. - Come on. - And you gave some dudes who had zero game. Too much game. - Girl, I got to Icebox. - Yeah, I'm just saying, bro. - What can I say, bro? - You got to get cold, man. - I'm so cold, I'm so cold. - Cold. - Where were you creating that, where was that coming from? - I was shot out to Carrie Hilton. It was my man Z Cool, actually, the head over at Sony. And my boy, Jay. Jay was playing with some melodies. And I was like, yo, I want to talk about something about the Icebox. - That's what you're saying? - Yeah. - I want to talk about something like the Icebox. - Something about the Icebox. - Some of the Icebox. My heart used to be. - Oh, and then he was like, I got this Icebox. (laughing) And then Carrie and Zick, they came in on a second verse. It was history, man. - You have new music now. - Yup. - And new music coming with B2K. - Yup. - But there is this deep library of sounds, even. - That's facts. - Do you reference that in the new music? Do you reference that feeling or are you on a whole list? - Yeah, nah. I feel like the specialness of my era, which truly represents the nostalgia. What is the nostalgia? Like if we just break down the compound on the nostalgia, that's like feeling, a feeling that you felt before. And a new time. So, I bring all the nostalgia, energy, all of my experiences, you know, those feels, those sounds, like that's basically what O2 is. And I'm really proud, part one is out. It's about seven records on there. And I mean complete vibes. I definitely bring all of that experience from back then into now. - Yeah. - It's gotta feel, you gotta feel something. When you put it on, you gotta be like, hold up. What am I doing? Am I getting dressed? I'm chilling, am I cleaning up? Like, you know what I'm saying? - Are you thinking about that subject when you're in. - Oh, cool. - When you're in a party? - Oh, cool. - Where are they in the day? - Yeah, like, ooh, when they play this. Okay, this, before they, as soon as they open the door, press play on this and it's like, ooh, fantasy. And it's like, mm, mm, mm. Oh my, okay, yeah. So, I got another record called mood. When you want to set the mood, you just put that on and you just start talking. It's a mood, baby. When I want to get motivated, and I put this song called, I could do it. I could do it, I could do it, I could do it, I could do it. So, I'm like, oh, okay, hold on, what do I got to do? Oh, okay, yeah, exactly. Little Afro B vibe, you know what I'm saying? - Hey, you know what I'm saying? - Right there. Hey, hey. (laughing) - So, it's definitely songs on there for every mood. - With that in mind, is there a world where there's like a you and Tyler? - I would love that. - Situation? - I would love that. - Right? - I'm just saying. - I feel like we need to put that on you to make that happen. (laughing) We need to make that happen because I know as far as performance, we would look really, really great together. And, you know, she's a dancer and like it would be, it would be a dope video. - I'm kind of into that. - You back with the fellas. - Yeah. - What was the first conversation like? - Well, I will say, you know, there has been a lot of maturing. There's been a lot of maturity, you know, that has happened within the scope of our relationship. And I would really acknowledge that the most because, you know, we were kids when we were started. So it was really truly up to us to honor that, to have those difficult conversations, had those man conversations like, "Yo, what's up bro?" - Right. - And I'm saying, and I think in our own creative way, we understood the importance of us coming together. And I think we, it chose to truly honor that at this point in time in our lives and careers because to be quiet, Frank, we all could be doing different things. - Right. - But we understand, as a collective, the importance of us coming back together and honoring what we built. Not the business, not, you know what I'm saying, not all of the things that has come along with our relationship, like, our relationship. - Yeah. - So I think that we're all matured enough to be able to appreciate that. And I don't know that everybody was in a position to appreciate that journey together. - Was there ever a time where it didn't look, where it looked like not all the fellas were retiring? - Oh, yeah. I mean, the last, the 2019 tour, you know, Razzby didn't even make it through the whole tour. This last tour earlier this year, Razzby made it all the way through. So we definitely had a celebration for that, you know what I mean? Like, it's not easy. - No. - You know, we speak positively about our experience because it's something that we choose to do because we're those type of individuals. But it ain't easy. - No, yeah, no. - It ain't easy to sit in the space, you know, with someone who, you know, you've been through, you know, ups and downs with. - Yeah. - You're choosing to show respect and love and have that reference. And that's what actually has made the music even better. - Is that right? - Yes, our song mileage is about to drop July the 17th. We got a video tour. - Come on. - Are we dancing in the music video? - Oh, cool. - I just wanna know. - We got two. - I'm gonna say it 'cause some people sneeze and they may not be what they used to be. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You know, they got hips, you know, yeah. - Yeah, no, no, no. - We're the fish oil. - Yeah, no, no. - We. - Yeah, you got it. - No, no, no. - We maintain, or, (laughs) we're youthful, you gotta say it. We maintain our youthfulness, you know what I'm saying? - Absolutely, right. - So we're able to perform and create those vibes. And the song mileage, just to speak about the song mileage. - Yes. - This is one of the things that B2K, we always had mature records, but we were in essence mature. - Looking back, we were like, how were we singing this? - Yeah, yeah. I wanna manage you. (laughs) Maybe this the reason why I love you. (laughs) - So, you know what I mean? Uh-huh. I know that you won't miss. - You hear me? - Yeah, I'm just saying. - You gonna be my girlfriend? - Okay. - It's so good. - So now we've caught up to that experience. And now we have experience. And that's why the first song called mileage, is basically just letting the ladies know like, hey, you know what I'm saying? We actually prefer a car that got some miles on it. We appreciate experience now. - Right. We don't care about your mileage. - Right. - You got some bodies on that coachy now. (laughs) Don't be trying to lie. Okay? We'd heard about you. But as long as you know, I like you and I won't share. (laughing) Don't be acting like if I act you. I'm telling you, let's see you. You don't care about the violence, let's be honest. Let's be honest, let's see it, let's see it. Also, I think that's grown up, we gotta grow up. Come on, let this be your message. I'm just saying. Go read a book, it's time to get our pizza. It's time with your damn self. Yeah, okay, stop going to relationship, the relationship. Or go, be honest. Shit, I appreciate that you are enjoying the meal. I'm gonna say that. You come from passion fruit, you don't play with it. (laughing) I was thinking about the time that you all the I came, that B2K came out, right? And even the collaborators that early on in the process of the group, where they are now in their lives. And how that must affect or has it affected, how you look back at that time. Most definitely. Like we're talking like some of the biggest names in the industry, the reality totally different than what we thought it was or what we were aware of back then. How do you as an artist, as a young man who created, sometimes alongside them, look back at what you created together? Does it affect how you evaluate it, how you experience it now? Yeah, most definitely, I mean, there's a lot of people that we've worked with over the years that are in different positions nowadays. And it really does, it makes me hyper-focused on the intention of putting positive things out there, but also realizing that there is another part to it. And because we live in a place where there is polarity, I think as an artist, I'm understanding more and more that it's really truly important to represent yourself in a positive way. Because if you don't, you know. And even if you do, you know what I mean? There's gonna be adverse energy to come to you. You could be the most peaceful person, but somebody gonna say, you ain't peaceful. There's peace for win. Yeah, right. Oh, that's bullshit. Like, there's always gonna be, you know, a group of people that just disagree with the way that you live. I would say, again, to reiterate that the importance of just being intentional and being kind and respectful to people. Yeah. I think that that really truly matters, you know what I mean? But you gotta protect yourself, and you really gotta, you know, more than ever. Do you have the kind of awareness where you are, I don't know, maybe thankful that you were, that was not your experience. Yeah. Right? Or that you weren't thrust into those kinds of scenarios. Yeah. Yeah, most definitely. And it also made me think about how certain people in certain positions nowadays have blessed people. And how, you know, sometimes, like you just said, your experience is not that experience that other people have had with that person. But then how do you, because I would have, for me, it's like, you know, one of the things I learned in therapy is that two things can be true. Yes, at once. And whether it is your experience or someone else's experience that they both can be true, and we have the whole space, we have to respect both. Yeah. Because they're both realities. That's right. And it's like, I would imagine it's, that's hard to do. It's tough. And then also, most people don't take account for some of the other things that are happening, like in the background, you know, the fine details that, you know, really separate the situation, you know, as far as accountability and the justice system. Right. And how that functions, you know, when it comes to our people, you know what I mean? And you have to take an account all of that stuff and you have to protect yourself. I've always wondered that, because like, you know, I was thinking about this, even with actors and stuff like that through, you know, the things that happened in Hollywood. Yeah. How do you look at a movie you created? Right. And like, fuck, that's, now that has that flavor on it. It has that kind of, that vibration on it. Yeah. You can't pretend it isn't. It isn't. That's facts. Yeah. I just wondered if you do. Yeah, man, I do all the time. Yeah. And I've, you know, wrestled with, you know, two schools of thoughts. You know, and that is that, you know, certain things that were done for me, really, truly, catapult me and two. So I honor that. But then on the flip side, I also honor that other part where it's like, well, I wouldn't accept that from anybody. That's not okay. And that's not cool. Right. Like, what the fuck? I try to be balanced in my perspective and also in my understanding, you know, within that, because still, at the end of the day, you know, that's somebody's mother or cousin or family member or, you know what I mean, support system, you know what I mean? Yes. Yes. So I try to do my best job at just being real honest and a straight cut when it comes to understanding when people go through things and how they're being held accountable. Yeah. And that accountability is key. Big time. Key. You know, if you do some shit, consequence. It's just what it is. Life is about them. Life is about choices. I had a wife friend who asked me, if they could say nigger. That's funny. And I said, yeah. Oh, my God. Say it. Say it all the time. Uh-huh. When you get your ass beat. No. Right. Because you said that. Right. We live in America. You can say what you want to do. Yeah, that's true. But consequences. That's facts. Just be prepared for that. That's it. And it might be me. Right. So say it. Right. Say it. Right. It did happen. So I think it was a. I'm just testing the waters here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Know those waters. Yeah, don't do that. You know, live your life. Yeah, yeah. Straight. But you're going to get your ass beat. Yeah. And see, it's little stuff like that. Like the, I guess, the gripe that people have with taking accountability for their actions. For their actions. And at the end of the day, when you are a grown person, you understand. Right. When you put that energy out there, whatever, come with that, you have to accept it. You got to accept it. That's as long as you can accept it. Play on. Play on. But play. Yeah. Right. Right. He's not said it. Speaking of play. Yeah. You ready to play again? Yeah. Come on.
