- Hey, what's up you guys I'm here
with the man, Shiggy.
- Yeah, man, the man.
- You've gotta feel so cool right now.
You're walking this carpet
with a little extra swag, right?
- Yeah, no the swag ain't come out yet.
I got a little swag for y'all yeah.
Right now, I'm working, I'm in work time here.
- What a crazy month you've had.
Obviously, the Shiggy Challenge,
In My Feelings Challenge, by Drake.
Talk to me about the moment you knew
that that dance went viral,
and that it was actually gonna be such a massive thing.
- The moment I knew particularly,
is when my mom, she came to me
and started telling me about it
'cause my mom is not really
into Instagram, and stuff like that.
So, when she comes to me and talks about stuff,
it means it got to that level.
And then when I knew it, really, really, really, really,
got big when Will Smith, the man, Fresh Prince,
got on top of a bridge to do the challenge.
That's when I knew it's big, yeah.
'Cause he had went all the way out
to do that challenge, yeah.
- What was the conversation 'cause obviously you are in
the In My Feelings music video, Drake's video.
What was the conversation?
Did Drake personally call you to ask you to be in it?
Or how did that go down?
- The thing with the video was I spoke to him in a DM,
and I mentioned it cause I don't even know
if he was going to do a video.
I was like, you should do a video.
We talked about it, and then he said, yeah.
'Cause he already had it, once I did the video
for the song, it's pretty much,
he already set out to do the video.
He already made that plug from a long time ago.
I knew since like July 5th that I would be in the video.
So, he told me that from a long, long time ago.
I just got confused just now, me talking, I'm rambling.
- [Interviewer] But, he told you that you were gonna
be in it right after your video went viral?
- Right after the video went big.
It was right, immediately, immediately.
No, he didn't waste no time to get that out there.
Before it really got bigger, bigger, bigger,
he was the first person on it.
Like, he was really on it.
- I mean it's great.
That song, obviously, went to number one,
and you know Drake's known for having
some number one songs on the Billboard charts.
- Yeah. - But, still you definitely
pushed it there, I would say.
What did he say to you know, when you first met?
What was his acknowledgement of thank you, to you?
Was it a hug, was it a handshake?
- What'd he say? - It was one of those classic
handshake, hugs 'cause the thing was,
I was introduced to him, but he didn't recognize who I was.
So, it was like a hey, how you doing?
Oh, hey, what's up?
And then he's like this is the guy who got me
the number one song and it was like, yeah.
'Cause it's one thing to be a part of it,
but it's another thing for him to really say
those words come out of his mouth.
Like, this is the guy who got me, that's Drake.
He gonna get a number one song regardless,
with his music, and he's such a talented artist,
but the fact that he said that, gave me that challenge,
does so much for me and what I want to do,
just having that plug of him saying those words, yeah.
- And what was it like working with him on the music video?
What was maybe the, what surprised you
about him, would you say?
- I already knew from Degrassi and stuff like that,
'cause he used to act, but he's a great actor.
He's very funny.
- Very serious on set?
Was he in character the whole time?
- Yeah, but it was like a comedy.
So, it was like, he was funny.
Like, he was really funny.
Sometimes you see artists, and you're like,
they might be not funny, might have not too much
charismatic towards them, but he has a lot
of charisma, very charismatic.
He's dope, and he's a good actor.
So, that made me want to do more work with him.
Me want to be like, hey, Drake let's do a movie.
Man, this is good, yeah.
Let's do that. - Did you have those
conversations with him?
Did you talk about-- - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Working with him in the future?
What were those conversations like?
- You know, what it is
he has so much in plan for him and his brand anyway.
So, certain things I was saying, it was like,
yeah I wanna do this, I wanna do that, I wanna do that.
'Cause Drake came from acting,
he came from so much things that I wanna do already,
so, whatever I was asking him, he was like,
yeah, we could do that, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He had those things planned.
So, there's a lot of stuff coming from Drake
on his side, with music, TV, everything.
His mind is there, it's there yeah.
- He doesn't realize that you're holding
onto those promises that he made you.
- You're like we're making it happen.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've got to do that, we've got to do that,
We've got to do something.
Even if it's a little, if he did a skit with me too.
- Yeah, that's awesome.
- Yeah, even something so small, I'll take anything.
- You know I have to ask you quickly.
Can you do a little bit of the
In My Feelings Challenge right now, on the red carpet?
I'm not good at it but I want you to do it.
I'll do some of it, ready? - Yeah.
- Go. ♪ Keke, do you love me ♪
♪ Are you riding ♪
♪ Say you never, ever leave from beside me ♪
♪ Cause I want ya and I need ya ♪
♪ And I'm down for ya ♪
(laughs)
- Yes, thank you so much!
- Was my singing good?
- Yeah it was great. - Yeah, man.
- I like that you kept it low,
cause you're like, I don't want everyone
else on the carpet to ask me
to do the same thing. - Hey yeah. (laughs)
- I didn't want to broadcast that to everyone.
Thank you so much Shiggy, so nice meeting you.
- I'm going number one on Billboard next year! (laughs)
- It's happening.
