- Dis about to be a hot effin' mess.
(hoofbeats and whinny)
(whoosh)
What up everyone, it's your girl Superwoman,
and I am in the middle of tour,
and I'm back in LA for my show today.
That's why I missed my last Thursday video,
I'm so sorry, I tried my best to maintain my channel
while on tour, but I've ran out of banked videos, so.
I didn't wanna miss another video today, so I decided yo,
I'm gonna make another honest Q and A video.
A, because if we're being honest,
I have no goddamn to write a rant or a script.
And B, because I think y'all liked the first one.
In the honor of honesty, I am wearing no makeup.
This is my honest face.
You can see me in the mirror right there,
I was like eff a set.
I don't enjoy Q and As.
Lemme hear me when I say, I hate qaas.
Because I never want people on this channel
to have to care about me or know about me,
I just want to make you laugh.
And I feel like Q and As are so like,
ugh, I don't want to talk about myself.
So, in effort to punish myself,
not punish myself, but also for your entertainment
and since I've already gone this route,
I, for every question I answer, am A gonna spit on myself.
B, I am going to do something I hate.
You know anything about me,
you know there's one thing I despise on this planet.
Even though it may be normal to you.
Me, I hate, I hate, and that is...
(trumpets) tomatoes.
Now that might seem dramatic, but I swear,
tomato, for me is like the worst thing
I could possibly make myself endure.
Anyways, this is not about me, but it kinda is.
Let's get to the Q and A.
How this rolls is, I didn't ask you for questions,
instead I asked my friends to send me some questions
about things they know I'm insecure about.
And the goal here is that there's no B.S.
Every answer I give you, no matter how awkward,
is gonna be honest.
You ready, you ready?
Let's go.
Question number one.
I'm looking at a laptop, by the way.
What is the most expensive thing
that you bought since making money?
The most expensive thing I've bought
is definitely this house.
This house was expensive, to say the least.
I love this house, though, and no regrets.
Okay, let's do this, this is for the Q and A, Lily.
Think about this next time you don't bank videos.
Ugh gah.
Number two, what is the biggest misconception
about having a lot of money?
Okay, real talk to quote Bob Marley,
it's the idea that money makes you rich.
Hold up, let me explain.
Oh, is my laptop okay?
I feel like rich is subjective.
And this is not B.S.,
like I truly feel this way, rich is subjective.
I think richness is actually happiness.
And I know firsthand through having money,
that money does not make you happy.
Of course, there's gonna be some people in the comments
that are like "easy to say when you have a lot of money."
Of course that make, make things easier in terms of like
logistically when I travel, et cetera.
But actual happiness?
No check has ever made me happier than like,
chilling with the people I love.
Or doing things I really enjoy doing.
I think the biggest misconception is that
if you're rich, you have no problems.
That's ridiculous, think about
all the problems you have right now.
I guarantee not all of them can be solved by money.
And that is naive and ridiculous to think.
Money doesn't make you rich.
Happiness makes you rich.
And I know this because I used to be poor,
and when I say that I used to be sad.
Another misconception is that
if you have a lot of money, you're not cheap.
Like you like to splurge on money.
No, dude, I have a lot of money because I am cheap.
I am the cheapest person I know, straight up.
And another thing, we gonna get real real here.
A lot of people step to me like
"yo, you have so much money, why don't you do this, this."
Do you know how expensive it is to run my business?
Think of a number, I want you to think of any number.
It's higher.
My business is so expensive to run.
But that's, that's about money.
It's so bad.
Alright, next.
What is the biggest sacrifice you made
on this journey to become Superwoman?
I was thinking about this the other day.
The biggest sacrifice I've made is not sleep.
It's not like family time and friend time.
Of course those are all valid answers.
It's comfort zones.
I was thinking about this after my first show.
I was like "yo, why do you have a job like this,
"where you gotta stress about shows,
"you gotta be nervous to go on stage,
"you have to go through hate comments.
"You have to go through all of these things,
"auditions, like eff that, why do you do this?"
And then I said to myself, you know my job?
The biggest sacrifice I've made is comfort zones.
Nothing about my job is comfortable.
I don't get to wake up and say,
oh, it's gonna be a comfortable day.
Where I get to do same thing I did yesterday.
No, it's always like, something to be nervous about.
Something I gotta stress about.
And I'm not complaining, cause I actually love it,
I think it helps me evolve.
I've definitely sacrificed comfort zones.
I am constantly living in an uncomfortable state.
(sighs)
How do people, how do people.
Okay, pretend it's Skittles, pretend it's Skittles.
If you could go back and redo
any of your YouTube videos, which would it be?
Okay, so y'all don't know this.
But last Halloween there was
a video I worked on, I did a shoot.
So much money was put into it.
Not mine, actually, it was a different company's money.
We shot it and all these people helped me shoot it,
and then I watched it and I was like,
there's no way in hell this is hitting YouTube,
because I hate this video so goddamn much.
Even after all the time, energy, and money was put into it,
I had to be that douchebag who was like
no, not my vision, not going out.
I am going to redo that video for this Halloween,
so that video would've taken a year to make,
and I'm okay with that, because yo.
I am a jerk when it comes to my vision.
I need my vision to be executed,
and if it is not, I will have no part of it.
You're seeing the real Lilly right now.
Also did you notice I have no eyebrows?
Actually, I kinda have one right now.
And a mustache, look.
(inhales)
If you had to sum up your book
in three words, what would they be?
How To Be A Bawse, by the way,
thank you so much for making it a New York Times Bestseller.
And Number One Bestseller in Canada.
I am overwhelmed and overjoyed.
If you don't have it yet, it's available
in bookstores worldwide and LillySinghBook.com.
Now that I'm done shamelessly promoting my book.
Three words to describe it would be
passionate, inspiring, and beautiful.
And that's being real.
If you were CEO of YouTube for a day,
what changes would you make to the platform?
Oooh!
If I was CEO of YouTube, I would delete
every effing smash or pass challenge.
I think that challenge is trash.
I think it is the lowest of low we have reached,
and it is so superficial and disgusting.
In addition, I would delete
every single drama or hate channel.
I don't give an eff.
I think those are trash and I think
there's enough negativity in the world,
and we don't need people putting
more negativity out into the world.
Yeah you can say the whole freedom of speech,
but a lot of those channels are just trash.
They're just attention seeking trash.
And I believe in promoting what you love,
not bashing what you hate.
Unless it's the Indian Consulate in Toronto.
Check my twitter, anyways.
Ugh, can't do it, I can't do it.
In what way does your success or fame
hinder or bother you the most?
Ooh, this is a good question.
Sometimes, because of my success,
and where I am, and whatever fame I have,
I feel like I'm not treated like a human.
I could definitely say for the past two weeks,
that has been the case.
There's a lot of things that happen in my day,
where literally I'll just stop and I'll think to myself,
"wow, no one in this room actually thinks I'm a human.
"They think I'm a robot or like a business,
"but they're not understanding I'm a human
with a heart, and emotions and feelings."
They will tell me to do absurd tasks
that are like immensely tiring,
and of course I'll say yes and do them.
But I don't think anyone considers like,
"yo, that probably is really hard to do.
"Maybe we should stop piling this up for her to do."
People have literally come up to me and been like,
"wow, you look like crap today."
And they think they can say that to me, cause like,
I make videos where I look like this sometimes.
People have said some really harsh things
or done things to me where I'm like,
"oh, you actually don't treat me like a human,
"you think I'm just like this thing, this commodity.
But you just think I'm just some thing to be collected
or an experience for you, like I am here for you solely,
than to just solely exist on my own."
So that's really, really tough.
IF The Rock had to leave on a one way mission to Mars,
who would be your new celebrity crush?
What the eff?
Why can't (coughs)
I choked at the thought.
Why can't I like The Rock if he's on Mars?
I would just go to Mars.
What kinda stupid question?
When is the last time you cried?
Oooh, getting deep.
The last time I cried, honestly, was two nights ago.
I was going to bed and I just started crying.
A, because I was so sleep deprived,
and B, because of the answer I told earlier,
which was no one was treating me like a human.
And I was like crying in my bed,
and I was like "why did you do this job?
"Yeah, everyone liked your videos
"and everybody wants your analytics and stats,
"but no one really cares about you, you're all alone."
And I was bawling my eyes out, it's pretty sad.
(gagging)
Thoughts, opinions, on clickbait versus good content?
Oh, where do I begin?
Let me preface this by saying
I think anyone who puts themselves out on the internet,
that takes a lot of courage
and I'm not gonna sit here and judge anyone saying
your content is wack and is clickbait.
But me personally, I am not a fan of clickbait.
Because I'm a fan of scripted content.
I like content that adds value to peoples' lives.
Whether it's to make you laugh,
make you feel inspired, whatever it is.
YouTube is full of clickbait.
And I don't blame those people, because clickbait works.
Even in some of my videos, like I haven't clickbaited,
but there's been essence of like me
kind of adding some spice.
I just can't get myself to do it.
I can't get myself to make clickbait videos.
I don't want to be that person,
and I don't want my content to be that.
I don't care if I get slightly less views, that's fine,
I just, I want to make content that adds value.
And that's what I want this platform to represent.
And so that is my opinion, but to each their own.
And everyone should do what makes them happy.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
You should've just wrote the rant.
What's your biggest insecurity?
What is my biggest insecurity, ugh.
My biggest insecurity, this is going to sound really weird,
is my vagina, I swear to gah.
Let me explain, let me explain.
First of all, ladies,
there's a lot going on down there, okay?
But when I change, this is like an everyday occurrence.
I have to change in front of people a lot.
Like my stylist, people in my change room, whatever.
I will never change my pants in front of people.
I will take my top off and be in my bra all day long.
But my pants, I cannot risk
you seeing a crevice of my vajayjay.
I just can't.
I am so insecure about, I don't know,
I know every girl has one.
But maybe yours doesn't look like mine.
And I can't risk you seeing it and discovering that, okay?
So, my vagina.
We're getting real honest here.
Ugh.
If you had one redo day, what would you use it for?
I don't really believe in redos,
because I would like to say that every day
was perfect the way it was supposed to be
for me to reach where I am today.
Gotta learn, that's okay.
But if I could pick a day, it would probably be
the day my grandfather passed away.
When I found out he was passing away,
I was in my room making a video.
And I just would've, if I had known,
I would've just spent more time with him.
Even though he was not in any type of state
to even acknowledge I would be spending time with him,
I just would have been beside him, holding his hand.
Yeah, because I'll always remember that the day
he passed away I was stressing about making a video,
upstairs in my room.
But, when he was alive, we spent lots of time together,
so there's no regrets.
(coughing)
Last question is, how do you feel about, mmm, person's name,
saying bad things about you in their video?
Oh, I love this question.
So, I'm not going to say the person's name,
and I'm just gonna address this once and for all
since this is an honest Q and A.
Every time any person has said
anything about me on the internet, I know about it.
Like y'all don't have to tweet me being like,
"did you hear so and so said this about you in their video
"and so and so said this about you in their video?"
I know about it.
I just choose not to acknowledge it.
Like I'm on the internet all the time, I know.
And the reason I'm not going
to mention any names in this video,
is because I have values, not hobbies.
I don't believe I should bash anyone in my videos,
even if they've done it to me.
Because if I did that I wouldn't have values,
I would have hobbies, I'm not a fan.
What up bawse book reference.
I am just gonna summarize this answer by saying,
it has immensely bothered me in the past
if someone I've considered a friend
has said something about me in one of their videos.
Even some other people I don't consider a friend,
but I know are really large on the platform,
have said things about me in their videos.
It has bothered me, admittedly.
I'm a human, it's bothered me.
But this is how I justify it to myself.
The things people say about me in their videos,
it's usually if they don't agree with something I've done,
or they don't like something I've done,
or they think something I've done is wack.
Every person that has ever talked about me
ill, ill, illly, is that a word?
Any person who has ever said
negative things about me in their video,
or didn't agree with something I've done,
all of them have the ability to either text me or DM me.
Because I have their number or I follow them.
If you choose to publicly talk about me in your video
instead of privately actually get to the root of the issue,
I know the problem is not with me.
You are not telling my story, you are telling yours.
Straight up, because if you don't agree with something I do,
and you think the solution is to publicly bash me,
as opposed to just message me?
Like a mature adult?
Then that is your opinion, and I truly wish
nothing but the best for every single person.
And I'm not even thinking of one or two specific people,
I'm thinking about a whole bunch of people
who've done this to me.
I'm out here trying to make content,
nothing you do is gonna change that,
nothing you do is gonna me bash you in my video.
I'm not gonna do it.
I am committed to being a kind, compassionate person,
and no amount of obstacles is going to change that.
I am going to be happy, I'm so sorry.
(gagging)
I wasn't really punishing myself,
I just wanted to make this video slightly more amusing.
That is so goddamn bad, ew ew ew ew ew aaah.
That is it!
Thank you for watching this video.
I'm sorry it wasn't a scripted piece of content,
but I hope you enjoyed it.
If you want to see me on tour,
I am going to the UK tomorrow.
After that I'm going to India.
There's still tickets available for India, not UK.
And the rest of the world,
LillySinghBook.com is where you can go.
All the information will also be in the description.
Thank you so much for all your support with bawse book,
it really does mean the world to me.
I never thought it would be the success that it is.
So thank you so, so much.
But now, let's go to the end card.
(thud)
Yo, did you like that video, did you like that video?
If you did, give it a big thumbs up!
