Oh, I'm about to dive in. Where's the jacket? Which house is my jacket in?
We're going to have the jacket shipped. And when I ship the jacket, I want to be on Skype on Young Hollywood when you get it.
How about you just take me to Miami? I'm Oliver Trevena here at the Young Hollywood Studio with the handsome gentleman that is Trey Songz. What's up, man? How are ya?
I'm good, man. Good to see you again.
I didn't bring the jacket. I didn't bring the jacket. Luckily, well, I deliberately, you might have noticed already that I dressed up for this interview because Trey is a, is a fashionable genius. I was supposed to bring him the jacket. The leather jacket.
Yeah. The leather jacket that I told you I really liked. The red leather jacket.
I did, did I promise you? I think so. I'm going to go with that anyway. I don't know if I promised you.
I think you did.
You promised it me. You promised it me. Leather jacket, do you remember? Red, looked really nice. You were going to give it to me? The promise part. Trey, come with me on this please. Has anyone got the leather jacket back there? Anyone got a leather jacket?
I didn't bring it.
You didn't bring it. Right. We got there. So, I love you though. Right, thanks Trey. Thank you. Well, we were friends. We continue now in a work environment because we are no longer friends. Okay, we can be friends, Trey. Sit down. Sit down. Chapter 5. Chapter 5. Chapter 5, the new incredible album from Trey Songz. Yes. See, that's what friends do. They support each other. We support each other. We support each other. And it's not Chapter V for any of them silly, stupid people out there that read it. Not Chapter V. It's a numeral. Chapter V upsets me. Yeah. We don't do that. Otherwise, we do that upset face. We're not upset, but it's what was it called? The trigger face.
Trigger face.
Show them your trigger face. That's it. It's a trigger face for anyone out there that messes with Trey. I heard on the radio, Trey Songz Heart Attack. And I was like, no! Poor guy. What happened? He's such a nice lad.
Oh, I appreciate the sentiment. I I appreciate that. I wonder how many people thought that.
But you did, I mean, you said your album was going to make people feel emotion. That definitely made me feel emotion. And this album, it's a lot of break-up, heartache, stuff like that, obviously.
Yeah, it's it's it's a lot of that going on. It's a lot of uh uh different emotions. I feel like listening from beginning to the end. I take you kind of on a uh a journey of love made, love lost, uh having a good time, uh bad decisions being made, feeling the best love of your life. It's it's basically an album that people can listen to and have a a reference point for something that they've been through. You know, we got some great singles out right now, Heart Attack, shot a video with Kelly Rowland. Uh which was an amazing time in my life.
And now you did mention that you had like a wish list of people that you wanted to get on the record. Right. You got Diddy, Little Wayne.
Yeah, Diddy, Little Wayne, TI, Uh GZ, Meek Mill, Rick Ross.
Was there anyone that you didn't get that you wanted?
Uh, it was actually a song I had with J. Cole that that uh got lost due to uh I think somebody got the track.
Who did it go to, you say? Uh, I don't know. Cuz I've got a couple of mates. Track them down. Yeah? Yeah. If you want, I'll pay him a visit and get the song back. Just saying. I mean, we shouldn't talk about that. We shouldn't talk about that. I'll do it for you. No. We can edit it out. It's fine. It's basically like saying you're a gangster and that you get something done for somebody. Can't forget your roots. Yeah. Just saying. That's right. Same. Um, anyway, fashion is big as well. I picked up GQ and saw you in GQ not long ago. Yeah. That was impressive. That was a great spread. Handsome man.
It's like eight pages, man. Thanks to the people at GQ. It was a blessing to be in there. Some of the covers don't even get eight pages, so.
Trey got eight. Just how you roll. Trey got eight. Trey got eight. Just how you roll. Trey got five. And are you going to go ever go into the acting world again?
Definitely. I'm actually reading some scripts right now. And Texas Chainsaw Massacre is set to come out the top of next year.
Don't know if I can watch that.
Why not?
Well, it's I don't like to see you get hurt and you're probably going to get hurt in it, aren't you? I mean, things happen in scary movies. I don't I'm not I'm just saying. I'll I'll be jumping at the screen shouting at him going no, Texas man, put the chainsaw down. He's the main guy on the main guy. You're the main guy. And it's it's 3D, right? And it's much like my life. I love that. 3D main guy jumping out the screen. Reaching out at you. Yeah. That face, trigger face. What where did that face come from? I made it up, but you can do something. You could have picked something better. It's a bit of a Popeye face. Can I say that? No. Oh, no. You get me in copyright infringement and stuff. You think you mean a jacket, this time. The trigger face. Is this about the jacket? Still, I've still got it. I've still I'm still holding on to it. Where's the jacket? Which house is my jacket in? Which house? There we go. After many houses as well, I feel insecure after this interview. Okay. The jacket's on its way.
We're going to have We're going to have the jacket shipped. And when I ship the jacket, I want to be on Skype on Young Hollywood when you get it.
How about you just take me to Miami? And I'll try the jacket on at home. No, no, no. Well for a try. Had to shoot alone. Okay.
