Episode Transcript
[00:00:03] Speaker A: Hey, everybody. Welcome back to the Royalty room. As you may recall, on episode two of season two, we had Soca royalty. Now, y'all not gonna believe we have hip hop royalty. We have Ms. Leah Robinson, the granddaughter of the founder of Sugar Hill records.
[00:00:22] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:00:23] Speaker A: Ms. Sylvia Robinson. Can we give a. A round of applause for grandma's legacy?
[00:00:27] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, Grandma.
[00:00:29] Speaker A: Because it clearly rubbed off in a very large way.
[00:00:33] Speaker B: I'll say. And I honestly, I didn't even know who my grandma was or what my family did until I was probably, like, 16 years old. And my homeboy was like, do you understand, like, why you have all these plaques on the wall and why people know your family? I was like, that's just my family. I don't know what you're talking about. Then I really started, like, doing a deep dive, and I was like, wait, we kind of lit, right? Like, extremely. Okay. I like this.
[00:00:54] Speaker A: I love. That's, like, actually a really cool realization to have as a teenager, like, because.
[00:00:59] Speaker B: It was normal to me. Like, everything was so normal. I'm like, this is. This is normal life. I didn't see them as. Oh, my God. They did all of these. These monumental things. I'm just like, this is my family.
[00:01:09] Speaker A: Yeah, that's good. And were you at the time you were making, like, these discoveries and really putting, like, things into perspective where you already being creative? Were you already pursuing anything professionally or. Not yet?
[00:01:23] Speaker B: I was, because I always was just into music and just being an artist. I'm a Gemini, so I'm very, like. I like to paint. I like to sing. I like to do this.
Oh, what's your side?
[00:01:34] Speaker A: We love. We love women. Gemini women.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: Now the men.
[00:01:40] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a whole nother episode.
[00:01:43] Speaker B: Our different breed. We can talk about that for a couple hours, but we're gonna go back to the women, Gemini, because we love us. But, yeah, I've always just been super artistic, but when I was younger, my brother was, like, a rapper, and he was the one that everybody was like, oh, we're going to push this, and da, da, da. And I was just like, you know what? I never was a hater. And I will always say that I never was a hater. I just told myself, become so great that nobody can ignore you. And that's literally exactly what happened. I started just getting lit, and I started getting booked for so many different things, and my family was like, what's going on here? And, yeah, now I'm here.
[00:02:16] Speaker A: I love that. That's. That's probably one of my favorite gems that that I've heard.
So as far as your artistry today, I heard you just released a new single for 2025.
[00:02:31] Speaker B: I did, and it's a spicy single, too. It's a spicy one. It's called Fantasy island, as y'all may be hearing right now. Okay. And it's just so good because it really just started off as a freestyle. I didn't intend for it to do numbers the way that it did. I posted it, and I got off Instagram because posting gives me anxiety sometimes.
[00:02:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: A post and get off. I came back on, and I'm like, a hundred thousand views. I'm like, that was fast.
[00:02:55] Speaker A: Damn.
[00:02:56] Speaker B: No, no ads, no nothing. And then I started seeing the girls that I had mentioned in the song, commenting. I'm like, okay, Young Miami. Okay Cali. Okay Drizzy. Okay, Queen Nigel. I'm like, oh, my God, something's going on. And then people are just like, where is the song? So I had to call, like, everybody. I was like, all right, I need a song mix and mastered. Oh, my God. We need to get the song cleared. Oh, my God. The song has to go out. So everything happened within, like, a week.
[00:03:20] Speaker A: Yeah. That's insane. Okay.
[00:03:23] Speaker B: Yes. But I also. I'm learning to, like, you have to let your fans choose what they want.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:27] Speaker B: Sometimes I'll put so much effort and time into certain things and certain songs, and then you'll put it out, and nothing will happen. But you have to listen to your buyers or supporters and let them kind of guide you and tell you what you need to put out. So when they did that, I said, y'all can have it. It's out.
[00:03:43] Speaker A: That's crazy. Well, congratulations.
That. So I was. I was doing a little bit of a deep dive, and I believe your debut, 808s and leggings.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:03:56] Speaker A: That was from such a 2014.
[00:03:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:00] Speaker A: So we just passed 10 years ago.
How do you think from 2014 Leah to 2025? Fantasy Island, Leah. What's. What's changed and what stayed the same?
[00:04:14] Speaker B: What stayed the same is my creativeness and willingness to, like, just create freely without any type of boundaries or me being like, oh, I want to sound like this person. I never want to sound like anybody else. I never want to look like anybody else. I genuinely feel like I'm one of the dopest people on this planet, and I just love myself, so I never desire to be like anybody else. And something that has changed, I will say, like, I trust myself thoroughly now. If God gives me a message, I'M like, I'm gonna do it. I don't need to call three friends and be like, hey, how do y'all feel about this? I just do it because I feel like certain things not everybody's gonna understand.
[00:04:53] Speaker A: Nah, he sounded. That was so quick.
[00:04:56] Speaker B: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[00:04:57] Speaker A: What's going on here?
[00:04:59] Speaker B: Actually, this is 800 wigs and leggings. This actually makes me so happy because this was literally my first project that I ever did with my brother, God rest his soul. K2, he was my producer, and we put together this entire project, and Eric Bellinger was on it.
[00:05:12] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:05:12] Speaker B: Camper, who's a lit producer, too, is incredible. Like, he produced something on there, and we all kind of like, we're doing music together and bubble at the same time. So it's cool to actually look back at this. I'm like, that's crazy.
[00:05:23] Speaker A: I miss. I miss this. This era. Like, can we please somehow get back? Because the 2020 is completely out of control.
[00:05:33] Speaker B: It's a little ghetto.
[00:05:33] Speaker A: Completely out of control.
[00:05:35] Speaker B: Very ghetto out here right now, this year.
[00:05:38] Speaker A: I'm not going to lie. It's something.
[00:05:39] Speaker B: And it' the beginning.
[00:05:41] Speaker A: It's been seven years in this year already. Agreed.
But anyways.
[00:05:47] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:05:48] Speaker A: What do we have to look forward to this year? What else is Miss Leah doing?
[00:05:52] Speaker B: Y'all gonna see a lot of me. Okay. I feel like God has just given me such a strength of seeing who I am and seeing where I'm going, and there's no stop button here at all. I just fully trust myself, and I'm diving into, like, my music wholeheartedly and really just saying, you know what? It's now or never. Because I feel like some people, they'd be playing with their talent sometimes. Especially if you've been good at something your whole life, you really just be like, okay, I can just wake up and do this or do this now. I'm like, no. Like, we outside and the people going, they gonna see me whether they like it or not, period.
[00:06:24] Speaker A: I love that. I love that. Yeah. I feel like something you said, like, you trust yourself and you don't have to call, you know, so and so to get approval or their thoughts. And I feel like that's really important for. For people in the industry, but also for. For mental health purposes.
[00:06:41] Speaker B: Agreed.
[00:06:42] Speaker A: Because that's something that I struggle with. I feel like I have to talk to two to three people minimum to feel okay about something that just happened or that needs to happen.
[00:06:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I get that.
[00:06:53] Speaker A: You know? So what would you give as far as Advice in. In finding that journey, honestly, you gotta sit with yourself.
[00:07:01] Speaker B: And there's been so many times where, like, even when it comes to, like, text messages, I'll shoot my friend a text sometimes. I'll be like, yo, is this cool to say? Is it? But then I'm like, why am I doing that? I trust myself. Like, why do I have to do that? And I realized that sometimes people, they'll give you advice based off of where they are. If you're having a messed up day, you probably won't give me the best sound advice for something that I'm asking. So I don't even want nobody else's fear. I don't want nobody else's experiences or day or frequencies going on. Is something that I already know is something for me to do.
[00:07:31] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:07:31] Speaker B: And I feel like me and God are so tight. That's my dog. Like, that's my homie. So I feel like, why do I need to go to somebody else to validate something that you told me? That's crazy.
[00:07:41] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:07:41] Speaker B: So I literally, I just locked in with myself. I locked in with God. And I was just like, listen, you guide me. I don't even want what's for me anymore. I want what you want for me.
[00:07:49] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:07:50] Speaker B: So I just. I locked in with myself.
[00:07:52] Speaker A: Amen. That makes me so happy. Because I don't know what it is. I haven't been, like, seeking out people for my show recently. And every guest, at some point, God comes into the conversation as. As a major point of the conversation. And that just makes me feel so full because it's not what I'm setting out to do, but it's finding us. And I really. That just makes me very happy.
[00:08:23] Speaker B: I'm happy for you.
[00:08:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:08:25] Speaker B: And let's give you your flowers too, because I will say there's so many people that be like, oh, my God, I want to do a podcast. Oh, my God, I want to do this. And they never do it. People that have ideas and just ideas I can't talk to. Like, it frustrates my soul. I love people that say that they're going to do something and they actually do it.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: Girl, can we run that back? Solomon, can we get the words on the screen? Something? Don't say you're going to do something and not do it.
[00:08:49] Speaker B: I got that friend you could talk to and be like, I got this idea. Because I'm like, what are we doing right? What do we do? Like, even if you don't have the resources, I feel like I'm so naturally Gifted at figuring things out. So I'm like, don't tell me you. You got an idea and you don't know somebody. I will call. Yeah. I'm like, we gonna call everybody until we get this thing ironed out. So I love the fact that you really were like, I'm gonna do this.
[00:09:12] Speaker A: Thank you.
[00:09:12] Speaker B: And you did it. When did you start your podcast?
[00:09:15] Speaker A: So may will actually be two years.
So thereafter we will start on season three.
And yeah, I heard someone, they gave me this. It's like the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 rule. I don't know exactly where it's from, but it's like once you have an idea, you have to do something within those next five seconds to either write it down, tell somebody, get. Get on the Internet, Google, like whatever it is that you can take an active step.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:09:45] Speaker A: Towards doing it, or you're likely going to forget it or not ever do it.
[00:09:51] Speaker B: That's. That's a fact. You got to keep the momentum going. Like, you have to. That's why I always carry my notebook with me everywhere. I write down everything. If I got an idea, if I have something that I'm thinking about, I will call somebody. I don't care if it's 3 o'clock in the morning. I'm like, yo, bro, I got this idea. It's crazy. So I believe in it.
[00:10:06] Speaker A: I love that. I feel like everything that. A lot of things you said, I feel like we're very much alike because my sister, she'll be like, I just. I want to be as organized as you and I want to, you know, learn these habits from you and blah, blah, blah. Cuz I'll have my. My planner and my calendar.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: I need that.
[00:10:21] Speaker A: The to do list. It's just extensive.
[00:10:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:25] Speaker A: But I'm. I'm very blessed to have met you. I'm. I'm happy that you're here.
As far as the other arenas that you occupy, songwriting, acting. Are you interested in pursuing, like, more acting gigs and. Okay.
[00:10:45] Speaker B: I love being on screen and I love being on set. When I was on set for Pose, I was just like, oh, my God, I love it here. I don't want to leave. I was there. Like, y sure y'all don't need me for something else? Like, I really could stay. Ryan Murphy, please call me. I love you dearly and I want to work with you again.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: So clip it up, Solomon. Clip that up.
[00:11:02] Speaker B: Throwing that out there. But I love acting a lot because I also feel like you're just tapping into, like a new version of Yourself. Because within every character, you still gotta find and bring you. But also, like, bring out a story that may completely not be you as well. And you have to still find a way to, like, bring that to life. So it's just another way of creation, and it's just cool. I enjoy it a lot.
[00:11:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I love that. Have you experienced, like, a situation or maybe, like, you were doing an audition or something where you had to tap into a role that you really couldn't identify with?
[00:11:37] Speaker B: That happens often. Yeah, because you'll get a script and you're just like, ah, I don't know. But then that's when the work comes in. You have to do work for it. My acting coach and teacher at the time, she was just like, you have to unpack this character. There is something similar in everybody that you talk to, regardless of if, like, it's a surface level thing or something. Like, underneath that, you. If you talk to anybody long enough, you have some type of correlation or some type of similarity. So it's the same thing with acting. Like, you have to paint the picture. Sometimes, even when they give you a script and it has three lines, those three lines mean so much. You have to understand why you're saying everything. There's an intention behind every single word in that script. So you have to do the work and peel it apart in order to discover who that person is. And once you discover who that person is, it's like, whoa, what parts of me are like this person? Boom. There you have it.
[00:12:30] Speaker A: Damn. Not only is she giving us life gems, she's giving us artist advice, she's giving us acting advice.
[00:12:37] Speaker B: So people be trying to skip the work. You cannot avoid the work. And I tell people that all the time. Things that. Especially on my page, I feel like I make things look very, very good. A lot of those things that look really, really good came with a lot of work, a lot of preparation, a lot of sleepless nights, and people only see the good stuff. That's why now I'm like, y'all gonna see the real everything of what's going on, because y'all be having this false perception of how these things happen. And it's like, no, there's some real things that happen behind the scenes before y'all see this glamorous whatever.
[00:13:06] Speaker A: Very true. Everybody thinks, you know, my life is just, you know, rainbows and butterflies and all the team you make. And I'm just like, who? I'm exhausted. I need a break. And I feel like this is appropriate. Time for a message from the Sponsors, and I'm going to do the message. We now have a sponsor, and this is where I get my energy from. I don't know about those other energy drinks, but Bomber, okay. Is the bomb. And y'all gonna have to come down here and get you one of these.
[00:13:36] Speaker B: Okay. I need a case of those. I be needing some energy now.
[00:13:40] Speaker A: I'll be. I got two cases in the car.
[00:13:42] Speaker B: Need it.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: I got you. You're gonna be energized on your way back from Long beach, because y'all already know we're in Long beach at the podcast place.
[00:13:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: Okay.
So speaking of all of these acting scenarios, you were also a part of a reality TV show in the very beginning, right?
Yes. I want to take it there. We were on Bravo.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:14:10] Speaker A: Okay. And we're talking about, again, your. Your family, your history.
Was it the. The first family of hip hop?
[00:14:17] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:14:18] Speaker A: Yes. Okay. What is that journey between reality TV and scripted roles? What. And also, how did that affect your, like, upbringing being on tv?
[00:14:33] Speaker B: Oh, this is.
[00:14:34] Speaker A: Sorry, that was two questions.
[00:14:36] Speaker B: Unpack a lot of things here, but in all honesty, reality television, personally, the thing that irks me the most about it, to be honest. Full transparency here. This is a safe space. Is that I'm the type of person that, like, if we have an issue, we're going to talk about it. I don't need to drag that issue. Like.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:54] Speaker B: Nor do I need to go talk to this person and this person. This person. I talk to you about it because we have the issue. So that was my biggest thing with reality television. It's like, we'll never just have an issue and that'll be it. We'll have a conversation now, talk about.
[00:15:06] Speaker A: It for three months.
[00:15:06] Speaker B: Yes. And I'm such a person. I don't hold on to nothing. Like, nothing. I don't hold no grudges. That's why I look the way I look. Okay.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: I was gonna say that I let things probably the best.
[00:15:17] Speaker B: Yes. And I just. Life is too short, so I. I don't harbor on anything. So I think that was the biggest piece for me, mentally. That was just, like, draining. It's just like, oh, my God. So I. I do enjoy more so, like, acting stuff because it's like, you're going in, you're clocking in to be this person, and then you can go and do your own thing and be who you really are outside of that. So, yeah, that was.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: That was a journey, would you say?
Because I've had a lot of people, and they. They want to be on this show so bad, and they're only gonna get, you know, a thousand dollars an episode. No hair, no makeup, no this, no that. But. But it's tv, you know. Would you recommend someone diving into the reality TV world?
[00:15:59] Speaker B: I mean, I feel like you got to be a certain type of person for it. If you know that that's something that you're going to utilize and capitalize off of and you have a plan plan and you have a strategy, go for it. Because it really does help a lot of people. But if you know that that's not genuinely who you are, if you know that your mental health is not okay, if you know that, like, you just ain't built for that, like, because reality television is a whole different ball game. I've never been a person to ever really dive into comments. I don't allow people to tell me how I should feel about me when I know I'm one of the dopest people out here. But there's people that. They'll go through their comments all day if they make you look a certain type of way on television because you don't have creative control. Right. It. It's like the ball is in their court. So you have to be willing to put yourself or have them put yourself and create a narrative for you that you may or may not like.
[00:16:49] Speaker A: Yeah, that's very true.
[00:16:50] Speaker B: I think you have to know all of those things before going into it. But certain people, I feel like it's really great for them. And there's certain reality stars. I'm like, you are the best reality star. Like, I love Tiffany Pollard. I'm like, you are the best.
I love New York so much. Like, anything she does, I will watch her. Jocelyn, love her. I will watch her.
[00:17:09] Speaker A: Like, you there, people are definitely made for it. Yes.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: But I know I'm. I'm.
I don't know if that's. That's for me.
[00:17:16] Speaker A: Yeah. And that's fine. That's fine. It's not for everybody. And I, like, I've had, like, extensive experience with contracts for reality TV and something that you just said a lot of people aren't aware of for some reason. It just looks so good that you believe everything you see.
[00:17:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:36] Speaker A: But I promise you, within these contracts, it specifically says we have full creative control. We have the right to alter the clips and rearrange and do literally anything that they possibly can figure out how to do, they will do to fit the narrative and the storyline. And, you know, it's provocative. It gets the people going literally before you do anything before you get on the show, before you get on tv, all the things. Get a lawyer, read your contract. And even if you read your contract, get a lawyer.
[00:18:15] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:18:16] Speaker A: Before you sign anything. Because I promise you, nine times out of ten, you may miss something that's in there because you're not meant to see it, you're not meant to find it.
[00:18:26] Speaker B: And that legal language is a whole different language. Like me personally, I have an attorney, but I go through all of my paperwork. I don't care. I think the one for Bravo, that thing was probably like 100 pages. I read every single page. I had my own note.
[00:18:38] Speaker A: That's amazing.
[00:18:39] Speaker B: I don't play with that because I'm also like, lawyers, great. We hire them for a reason. But I'm like, you still a human.
[00:18:45] Speaker A: You got it. Now the day.
[00:18:46] Speaker B: And I want to know certain things within these contracts. And I look at it, I send it to my brother, too. I trust his eye. And then I sent it to my attorney because I'm just like, there's certain things that I. I want to know.
[00:18:55] Speaker A: I'm proud of you. Like, literally, you have not only one check and balance in place, you have three checks and balances taking time. But no. And. And nine times out of 10, nobody's even thinking about one, reading it themselves, or two, the word lawyer, attorney, anything. And another thing that I want to mention. Whenever you're doing these.
These TV contracts or social media contracts, influencer stuff.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: Often times you're signing away not just whatever's happening on that project, but also everything you're doing in the entertainment industry.
Any. Like, if you. If, for example, for the Bravo show, if. If you had a clause in your contract and it said, you know, 10 of everything you do in music, everything you do, if you write a book, if you get on a movie, if you do merchandise, like, 10% of everything that ever comes off of you, because we put you in this position.
[00:19:54] Speaker B: And I think that started with Bethany Frankel from, I want to say Housewives, because she created the skinny cocktails.
[00:20:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:20:02] Speaker B: And they didn't get anything, but that went like crazy. She put it in Target. She put in so many different places.
[00:20:08] Speaker A: And then they're like, oh, we made you.
[00:20:10] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:20:10] Speaker A: Where's my.
[00:20:11] Speaker B: For sure. But they couldn't do it because she had already been in there. Like, but they. I think they specifically put things like that inside of their. Their contracts. And if you're not looking, you just going sign you like, I'm about to get this bread. Little do you know so the moral.
[00:20:26] Speaker A: Of the story is everybody that you see on reality TV is not rich.
[00:20:30] Speaker B: That's a fact. That's a. You know, I mean, it's just like, it's online, too. Like, I know so many artists and rappers and stuff that are just, like, they're not financially number one literate, and they're also. They don't have a lot of money. And being an artist is expensive. Like, I'm learning right now because I'm fully investing into myself. Like, I still work my job, and I tell people that right now because artists, who they be so afraid of how things look. I do not care how things look. I will gladly tell you, I still work my regular job in order to be able to afford my dream.
[00:21:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:04] Speaker B: And I'm okay with that until God is like, all right, we're done. But people make things look a certain type of way to try to give off a certain type of Persona. I don't have that in me. I just want to be able to sleep peacefully at night and show people the real because I'm like, this is what it is, period.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: I love that. And speaking of showing people what it is, you just recently did a. Your TikTok performance.
[00:21:26] Speaker B: Yes. That was so cool.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: And tell me about that one.
[00:21:29] Speaker B: So I love TikTok so much. My homegirl, she came into my job one day and she was like, girl, why are you not on TikTok? And I'm like, oh, no, I'm kind of late to it. Right. So I don't think I'm a joint.
[00:21:39] Speaker A: I feel the same.
[00:21:40] Speaker B: This girl told me how much money she was making on Tick Tock. I said, let me download the app right now.
[00:21:46] Speaker A: All right. Is it back on the App Store? Yes. Okay.
[00:21:49] Speaker B: But this was a while ago. This is before the whole quote unquote band.
[00:21:52] Speaker A: That was not.
[00:21:54] Speaker B: We're not gonna go into that, but whatever conversation for another day.
But my home girl, she. She showed me how much she was making. I said, all right, cool. So once I started getting on Tick Tock, I started going live every day and really started building, like, a supportive system there. And I felt like it's a safe space for me. Instagram, I feel like, is more. It has to be curated. It has to look a certain type of way. Tick Tock. I'll be on there with my bonnet. I'll be up there like dusty. And I'm just like, I don't care. I feel cool and safe enough to do that. And people, they like that more there because it's their Sense of, like, this is real. It's not a curated thing. So when TikTok ended up reaching out to book me to come perform, I'm like, what? God, that's dope.
[00:22:38] Speaker A: That is so dope.
[00:22:39] Speaker B: I was very happy because that's genuinely a platform that I love so much. Oh, look at me.
[00:22:43] Speaker A: Hey. Okay. Shout out. Verse entertainment. Shout out Kalisha Pereira.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: Shout out to my girl, my publicist, the baddest in our game, Khalisha.
[00:22:52] Speaker A: And is okay. And that's a really nice set, too.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: What I say. Oh, TikTok got a budget.
[00:22:57] Speaker A: Budget.
[00:22:58] Speaker B: I like it here. And actually I had a show yesterday and I had invited a couple of them that were there, and they popped out. They came.
[00:23:04] Speaker A: Really?
[00:23:05] Speaker B: I was like, okay, Tik Tok family, I love you.
[00:23:07] Speaker A: I love that you don't hear about that too often. What do you prefer, like, as far as, like, a performance like this where it's recorded and. And, you know, closed set, or do you want to be in front of the. The arena or at the NBA games?
[00:23:24] Speaker B: I love. I love it all.
[00:23:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:26] Speaker B: Because I feel like I've been blessed enough to perform for 10 people, and I've been blessed enough to perform for 10,000 people. And just because it's 10 people in a room, don't discredit their importance and they may support you more than all the other people. So I like both. I feel like no matter how successful I get, I will always either play in a coffee shop when I feel like it or be in an arena and selling out shows.
[00:23:49] Speaker A: I love that.
[00:23:50] Speaker B: So it just depends.
[00:23:51] Speaker A: I like the idea that you don't have to be too big to do, you know, the smaller things or at schools or whatever it is. I really appreciate that.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: And I think, too, by the grace of God. And I think that's something that me being in my family has showed me. Like, I've been around the biggest stars ever in the world, and freaking Michael Jackson called my house asking for my grandma. Like, I. I don't. I just look at people differently, and I don't need the crazy antics all the time. I'm just like. I just like real encounters with people. So if I'm singing to one person in that room, I'm like, you gotta vibe like, you're never gonna forget that.
[00:24:31] Speaker A: I might have to book you for my birthday.
[00:24:33] Speaker B: Book me, girl. We love a booking.
[00:24:35] Speaker A: I love it. What's your birthday? September 7th.
[00:24:38] Speaker B: What is your sign?
[00:24:39] Speaker A: I'm a Virgo, a Ver.
[00:24:40] Speaker B: I actually love Virgos. One of my best Friends is a Virgo. See, I love that.
[00:24:44] Speaker A: And my best friend is a Gemini, so it makes sense.
[00:24:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Period.
[00:24:48] Speaker A: Last question I want to ask, because I always do this with the boys. I've never done this with the girlies. Can we ask, is Ms. Leah single?
[00:24:58] Speaker B: Me and Benjamin Franklin is in a whole relationship right now. That's my right.
[00:25:03] Speaker A: That was good.
[00:25:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:05] Speaker A: Okay, okay, okay.
[00:25:07] Speaker B: Situation.
[00:25:08] Speaker A: She pulled a little baby. She pulled a little baby. He said, me and money is married.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: We. We go together real bad.
[00:25:16] Speaker A: That. Well, y'all know the way. If you ain't money, it ain't no honey.
[00:25:22] Speaker B: You know what? And it's like, I'm such a daddy's girl, too. So me and my dad are like that. Me and my mom are like that. And my family spoils me, My friends spoil me, everything. So I just like to be treated good. If you come up in here, you better be adding something to it. You better be doing more than my daddy doing. Because that man.
[00:25:39] Speaker A: Amen.
[00:25:39] Speaker B: I was depressed and he showed up with a brand new truck. And it was my favorite truck. I said, daddy, like, I'm not sad anymore. Thank you.
[00:25:47] Speaker A: Okay, so like, girl, this why we so much alike. Because I'm the same. All of that, same shout out to our daddies because we love you.
[00:25:57] Speaker B: You.
[00:25:57] Speaker A: You've done really well. Okay?
[00:26:00] Speaker B: And I will say too, it was not always like that. I don't want to give this false perception either because this is like me going to therapy and now being able to like vocalize myself. But it wasn't always like that. But now that we have like the greatest bond ever is so lit. So if anybody's going through any parental issues, like, just because that is what it is now does not mean that's what it's going to be like forever. Because there was a time where I was like, oh, I don't know about this. And I didn't even talk to my dad for like a year.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:26:27] Speaker B: And I was okay with that. I was like, listen here, parent or not, I don't care what your title is in my life if you are not treating me the way I feel like you deserve. I deserve to be treated. I don't care. I don't talk to you. But then we got past that and I've done a lot of growing since then. A lot of healing and therapy. And me and my dad are like best friends now. That's my dog. I call my dad for everything.
[00:26:48] Speaker A: I love that. So you're definitely on your self care journey. You're you're healing. You're doing well. Yeah. Physically, financially, mentally, I'm. I'm blessed, like I said, to have you here. So you. Thank you so much for coming. Stopping by the Royalty Room, let everybody know where we can find you. Streaming on the socials, all the things.
