Hey girl. How are you? You look so good!
Girl, it's my no makeup day, honey.
Oh, really? To be honest, I didn't really wear a lot either, so we're on the same page.
Girl, just doing your makeup everyday in quarantine is a hassle, so I'm giving my face a break today.
I feel that. Yeah. Do you have like certain days that you do other things too? Like it's like no makeup day and like different things or you're just like whatever?
Um, mainly it's just no makeup day because I, I like putting on a lot of makeup. I don't do like a light beat. I do a heavy beat every time, girl. So, it's like it's either all in or nothing.
Yeah, I know that. And we saw in a different video that you did, you're changing your outfit a ton though. How many times would you say that you change your outfit in a day?
Girl, when I am really just, when I'm just you know, doing the most, probably three to four times a day. Does it? I'm just at my house, in my living room, bro. This is like my, I, I dress based on my mood. So if my mood switches, I my outfit switches. So that's why I change a lot sometimes.
Yeah. I love it. And what's one thing when you are like on your video shoots and doing um, like press, what's one thing that you always need to make sure is done? Like your hair, your nails?
My lip gloss needs to be on my lips. Always. That's that's it. I can do no makeup, makeup. I better have some lip gloss on.
How many lipsticks or lip glosses would you say that you own?
Maybe like 300? Yeah. No, I have I have a really bad. I'm working on my own lip gloss and it's perfect, it's flawless, it's done. But like I have like 100 different types of clear lip glosses. I just have to try it. I just have to try it. So, there's It's never too many. It's never too many. But it's funny because most of my lip glosses are clear. So it's not like I'm buying different colors, it's just clear lip gloss.
You just have I can see it, like in your vanity, you just have all this clear lip gloss.
Exactly, girl.
And with your music, what would you say is one of your most iconic like lyrics that you have or one that's closest to your heart?
I think my most iconic one is because when I'm at the mall, the gas station, if a car is driving by and they see me and my fan sees me, they're yelling, "Can't stop, won't stop, Gibb Wop!" I think that's my most iconic lyric.
And would you say like when you see fans and they're uh, like singing or yelling that to you, do you ever like keep it going or like what do you do?
I say, "ten white toes and them toy flip-flops." So, it just keeps on going. And then do not let me in person because we'll probably just start singing the whole song if if they're right in your ear. Go off.
And you do have an album coming this fall, which is awesome. We're so pumped for it at Young Hollywood. Are you Is there any lyrics in there you can share with us or any like cool features that are on the album, anything you can tell us about it?
Um, I would like to say, um, um, Oh, I can't say that one, but I have a song that I think I'd get in trouble if I say that one. Um, let's see. Dang. Oh, it's I'm like swimming through the lyrics in my head, so just give me a second here.
We just want to know something, a little snippet of anything.
Oh, um, "Sitting pretty and I'm hard to impress."
I like it. I like it. Do you picture because you you like you had "My Type" which was huge on TikTok, do you picture any of the songs from the upcoming album to be you think that will blow up on TikTok?
Um, well, "Tap In" has, you know, it just grew some legs and it started walking and now it's running. And I think I have over 500,000 videos. So, I really think, you know, the fans, the TikTokers who are supporting "Tap In," um, challenge.
Yeah. Have you done or have you like scroll through and watch all the videos that have been done to the song, your songs?
Before I go to sleep, bro, or when I'm using the bathroom. Yeah.

Like an hour just to find the perfect movie. So, I love food and he loves movies. So definitely a meal and a great, you know, movie.
Do you usually watch movies that you guys haven't seen before or have you seen some of them before?
Um, sometimes he like he likes watching movies like four to five times. Fun fact about him. And he just catches new things as he watches them. So, sometimes he watches the same thing over again.
That's so funny. Do you ever like watch a movie that he hasn't watched yet and you try to like ruin it for him or are you usually keep quiet?
