Joshua my brother is my left-hand,
my backbone, my ride-or-die.
Without my brother Josh,
a lot of things would not have been possible.
In everything goin on with my family,
I know that Josh would not even think twice
to have my back.
Josh, if you watchin this right now bro,
you already know the vibes!
Gang gang!
One, I love you.
Two, (beep) what everybody else gotta think.
If you on my team,
which I already know you are,
and you gonna keep bein' there bro,
we goin to the top!
And you know I'm takin you with me.
You know you the only one.
I love you.
(laughs)
Did she have this heavy of an accent in high school?
No and now I'm like...
Listen, talkin to her, I'm like, "Don't talk like-"
"(Beep) how mom, how you want me to talk?"
And I'm like, "Damn how you used to talk last month."
I'm so confused.
I'm like, "How you used to talk last month,"
she knows what I mean.
What does she want me to do, be corporate?
All the time.
Be yourself. Be yourself.
I am myself.
And then what?
I get attacked for it.
There's levels to people.
Okay, 'cause I was 16 year old me.
Nobody's gonna be the same person they was
when they were 16, 17.
I agree. Up until they're 25, right?
There's levels to things right?
There's a journey of life, a process you have to go through.
Why are they confining me, harassing me?
This is why I don't even come around people.
No one wants to be made to feel like a animal.
Let's take a look at Josh.
In my eyes, Telly Zelly is brilliant, she's very talented.
When it comes to my sister Telly Zelly,
she's a musical genius.
Listen, I'm a young girl from the trenches.
Music is her natural gift and it's second nature to her.
We are not here to make quick money on anything.
We're here for longevity and here to develop my sister
as a artist and for her to be known.
Unfortunately our family's not so supportive
of her artistry.
I feel like Josh has been influencing my daughter
on this whole rap career thing.
He was doin it actually before she was
and I feel like he maybe encouraged it
more than what she was thinking about.
I think Josh, he's a bad influence.
He's the one that got her smoking marijuana.
No offense to Josh but I just don't feel like he's the
brightest light bulb in the box.
I don't feel like the family realizes it
but they hurting her.
I'm just trying to help her fulfill her dream
and we definitely know what we're doin'
and if you doubt us again you can read it on her face.
Josh, welcome.
Wassup, Dr. Phil?
You been listenin' backstage,
so you- Of course I did, yeah.
You're up to speed.
I'm up to speed 100%.
Got it.
So-
I have a lot to say.
I don't feel like I influence her to do anything at all.
I'm just here as a strong supportive system for her
to get fuel in the morning to be like,
"I'm enough to do this."
And not a lot with the situation with the family,
that's not pushing her.
It's kinda demotivating her in a sense, in my way,
and it's taking away from her peace of mind
as a human being.
So you're her manager?
Yes, co-manager.
We have a manager but basically yeah, the manager.
All right, do you have a job otherwise?
No, I'm a college student.
So he can go to school!
So he can go to school and invest his time in this one?
C'mon.
Well, if you're gonna manage somebody,
having training in business would be important.
Yes. You want somebody
that knew how to do business
and had training and all that,
so you're smart to stay with that.
You're her manager, so let's look
at her current yearly income from music.
(everyone laughs)
So he's doing a great job.
Not for long, and that's not for long.
It's okay, y'all can laugh.
Y'all can all laugh.
But you gotta start somewhere.
It's a sacrifice.
You gotta start somewhere right?
And you're okay to finance this?
I'm not okay to finance it.
So my only thing is okay-
Based on the results you are.
No, man it's not that.
It's like...
I don't know how to put it.
Like I need help trying to explain to her
I don't mind...
it's not about me hating on what she wants to do
for her future, it's not that.
It's like...I look at it like you're wasting time right now.
And the fact that she can't do both is super weird
because it's people in high places
that do both all the time.
So I feel like you're making excuses-
(Talking over mom) that's what I'm saying.
How many times am I gonna say though?
Can we look at it from the bigger picture?
I'mma become miserable 'cause I'm not livin' happily
like everybody does when they live for other people.
