from one person I'm not gonna say who

it wasn't drank it was someone else
aha well I got and someone no two people
actually two people on that list
approached me about it like dude I'm not

I'm not come on I'm not telling you okay
what do they say were they mad or were
they like thank you for being on the
list whoa one of only one person so far
I got a little irritated but then I
explained to him how much I love him and
he understands now and then one person
he was just laughing like like like
hahaha
or like that
yeah he was like texted me kind of like
it was kind of like a mix between
cursing me out and laughing at it I
don't know I've just kept I just kept
floating like this crying face emoji so
that it can like you know make things
not as bad crime the crime laughing I
figured that would like you know pacify
him and and it did good good good are
you are you do you do you have a form of
music you listen to like you artists you
listen to them I surprise people I do
and every time every time I tell people
this they think I'm kidding but I love
Enya I listen to her the most out of
everyone yeah so that is about a fall as
far away from rap as I can't imagine a
popular art form being absolutely but
you know what is so peaceful and it
helps me with like harmonies and just
like sounds and stuff so when I go in
there I don't like I'm gonna say no but
I'm a rapper and so I don't like to call
people singers in to come and do like
harmonies and backgrounds so I just tap
into my in yeah my indian knowledge and
I do not find my inner Enya she's like
an elf I'm not yeah she's otherworldly
she's ugly yeah secureness
I know she's close to I would love to
meet her I think she's never met no and
I don't love her so much
I want to make that happen can we make
that happen sure I don't know any do you
um people speculate about your life like
who you're seeing the other aspects are
there are there are there what's the
craziest rumor you've heard about
yourself
one of the recent well I didn't know
that this was on an actual rumor until
one time I posted a picture with my
mother and someone and people were
saying oh she has the same nose and I
said what like like would I if I was to
get my nose done it would not have this
lump right here and it would not be
pointy I would get like the like a
shorter one like so like kind of like a
pig
like kind of like this and like pull it
back
cuz I've always been attracted to that
kind of nose your nose is perfect thank
you so shout out no but you might say I
don't I don't care I don't care about
anyone who who gets their nose but I'm
just saying my nose has never been at
the 2016 this is this is an important
thing that I've wanted to know the
answer to for a couple years now if the
2016 time 100 gala you dedicated the
song anaconda okay to Joe Biden and
Donald Trump and you asked the crowd
which of those men likes the bigger but
do you did you did you ever find out do
you do you know do you know the answer
between Joe Biden and Donald Trump who
likes the big butts I could only assume
but I'm you know I'm guessing here that
it would be Biden for obvious reasons
I hesitate to ask Nicki Minaj but what
is the obvious reason that Joe Biden
likes big butts and he cannot lie why is
this I mean anytime a white person gets
like the past that they can be like
invited to the cookout that means they
probably like big butts
because he showed love to you know our
love you know Obama and and he they
worked so well together and he also just
seems so genuine and I find that genuine
man like big butts
you know what they say I love a lobster
all the best meat in the tail
now do you know you know a good big butt
when you see one
yeah you're lucky juicy butt yeah
girl give into it girl give into it
don't fight it
don't fight the feeling okay the
difference thang girl give into it yes
thank you you're known for not only
writing your own stuff but writing just
incredible volume of material like you
rap fast nothing do you remember the
first lyrics that you wrote you remember
the first rhymes that you ever yes I've
said this before oh it was such a little
stupid little rap it goes cookies the
name chocolate chip is the flavor stuck
up my Styles like a chubby lifesaver I
was like I was like eleven and I wanted
to like I wanted to show the girl next
door cuz she was like a good rapper and
she thought she was someone's reading me
so when she was when she left I went
home and I wrote this little rap so I
can like show her and then I went our
bang her belt and I started saying my
rap and she just stood there like mom no
she was just jealous well I I know I
couldn't do what you do I could not do
what you do but I suspect you could do
what I do so I'm gonna do I'm gonna read
one of your lyrics if you don't want her
lyrics right here okay this was an LLC
okay and then here's a monologue joke
that we had to cut the other night no
one's heard this one yet
okay gonna log joke the other night do
you you're the subject here this is
about the president there okay so I'll
do yours okay I feel like I'm King Kong

girls getting more money and they don't
rap they sing songs I stayed with that
pink on pink furs and then pink thongs
