Summary

DaBaby discusses his 40-acre property acquisition and reflects on his career resilience after industry setbacks. The episode features on-site demonstrations of construction equipment and covers his journey from being counted out to rebuilding his career through independent work, gratitude, and multi-skilled team development.

Insights
  • Artist resilience depends on intrinsic confidence rather than external validation—DaBaby maintained momentum despite industry rejection by focusing on self-sufficiency and proving doubters wrong repeatedly
  • Vertical integration of creative production (directing, editing, shooting, marketing) enables independent artists to maintain creative control and reduce dependency on label infrastructure and approval cycles
  • Promoter economics are critical to artist sustainability—many promoters went broke overpaying for headliners, creating a market correction that forced artists to accept lower fees or develop alternative revenue streams
  • Generational wealth and skill transfer within family units compound success—DaBaby's investment in equipment and knowledge-sharing with his team and family creates sustainable competitive advantages beyond music
  • Gratitude-focused mindset shifts artist motivation from external validation to intrinsic fulfillment, enabling longer career sustainability and better decision-making during downturns
Trends

But what I need to know, and I think you need to let the artists know the young artists, how does it feel to be counted out multiple times? Come on, man. Like the industry, like, you know, phone call stop, booking stop, festival stop. Keep going. What was your, what was on your mind? Shit, bro. On this end, like I feel now, like on the other side of it, like, I have to thugging it out and getting on the other side of it and, you know, doing it my way. And this, the feeling that you, that you're working, you're growing for, you know what I'm saying? Like, this is a feeling that can't be found no other way. You got to get all the way to the top, fall all the way to the bottom and get your ass back up through there to get this feeling. But during, during that time, you know, I mean, shit, they could really tune into, to our other three, three, four million dollars worth of game ever. So because you see air stage at our first time. And that was really when y'all was first jumping out there with it, like even seeing the progress y'all had made along the way. Like you see it, like y'all, y'all went this way, my shit going this way. You get what I'm saying? And it's just a constant as I'm, as I'm coming back and seeing y'all, I'm just kicking that motherfucking dough down, kicking that motherfucking dough down. But yeah, this year, and where I met with it, you know, it's kind of like that shit I did on that, on that bulldoze. What's that shit called? Bobcat Stiskey. That what? Bobcat. Bobcat Stiskey. Bobcat Stiskey, whatever, whatever the fuck, Blacks. I drove straight through the bitch, you know what I'm saying? I drove straight through that bitch. So, you know, it's a beautiful thing. Man, I'm positioned greatly, you know what I'm saying? And, and we doing this interview standing on 40 acres. It's yours. It's mine. It's mine. What made you go? What made you, what made you, what made you don't stop? Because we've seen a lot of artists on your level, the heights that you was, things get rough and they just disappear. Why didn't you stop? And why did you go, kept going? And what was it when you first heard this new scene, what you got out? What came to your mind? When they come to, when they come to just stop it and quit and that shit, I'm just, I'm just simply not that type of nigga. Like I'm a thug through it. You know what I'm saying? That's just what life has been from a sense of jig. So that ain't, that ain't far under me at all. Like, you know, going through shit and having to work through it. But when it comes to like, okay, just this, even like the new single I got out right now, like pop that thing, like the whole album within itself, right? Be more grateful, even from the title, be more grateful, like before he even got them completing the album. Like that's already what my mind said was, like, just being grateful for the shit I do got, the shit I do got going on, the journey, you know what I'm saying? The shit I done been able to navigate through this shit could have went a thousand different ways, a thousand different times with me, you know what I'm saying? Aside from the, you know, how the career and shit went with the music business, that shit like compared to the shit a nigga done been through. Yeah, in life. Why the world knowing me too, before the world knew me, you know what I'm saying? And wow, since I done been, you know what I'm saying, in the mainstream music business, like I looked up and saw like, damn, I'm seven years in. I popped 2019. It's 2026. I looked up like, damn, I'm damn enough of vetting this shit, you know what I'm saying? But that shit flew by to me because I'm not looking around counting the hours. I'm just, all I know is just grind, grind, grind, grind, grind, you get what I'm saying? Y'all niggas know something about that. Like, you know, I talked to these niggas more than I talked to the niggas at the label. Well, I told the niggas at the label when they called, trying to set up, man, I'm like, I don't need to talk to y'all. I talked to them niggas all the time. They calling me when I don't got no motion going on like, nigga, nah, what up, man? You need to do this. You need to do this like that. That cooking shit. Yeah, you need to do that. You need to do that shit every day. Do that shit like this. Everything you got. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Other motherfuckers, they don't know, you know, they don't know what to do or what to say until you already do the shit for yourself and got the shit figured out. And then at that point, like they not need it. You know I commend you though, right? Because, you know, it's easy for a motherfucker when they pop off, right? Yeah, you see a lot of artists pop off. And when you demand, everybody love you, everybody singing your shit is easy to play that role. Yeah, you feel me? The true test of a niggas character is when niggas stop fucking with you when niggas is off you. Now a lot of artists, I'm gonna say most of them lose their confidence because they confidence, a lot of artists confidence ain't natural. They don't really believe I'm that nigga. The music, the ice, the cars, the hose, the dick sucks from the back. That made them feel like they that nigga. Now all that shit slowed down. Niggas ain't on you. Niggas ain't fucking with you. Now they confidence leave. You embrace that shit. See, it take a real motherfucker to be like, okay, y'all doubt with me? Y'all think I ain't that nigga? Watch this. Okay, y'all still not on me? Right. Watch this. Oh, y'all still not on me. Okay. Watch this. Oh, now y'all back on me. Huh? So I commend you because we talk to artists all the time that they be in them phases where they be looped. They be telling me having no confidence and it'd be like, bro, you, um, you had platinum records, plenty of gold records, plenty of you You don't been on tour. I'm talking about artists in general. You don't been on tours. You, you don't have some of the prettiest women on planet earth. You got a nice ass crib. You got a bunch of cars. You, if you didn't do anything else in rap, you accomplished more than 99% of niggas on planet earth. Why would you have confident issues? That's the fact. Why? What the fucking you talking about? You already that nigga. So just because they doubting you, they was doubting you in the beginning before you got on. So prove them wrong again. Straight up. And, and I commend you because you always in the proven niggas wrong. Come on, man. That's really why I got them have fun at with this shit, you know, and that's just, that's what nigga mind was like with creating the whole album. Like it ain't even the song that's going crazy right now. Pop that thing. That's the last song I did. The rest of that shit I already had it done. That's the very last song I did and they sent me the beat. I'm like, Oh yeah, automatic. What should you do? You heard it. Shawn the first to KO. They from Charlotte. They sent me that bitch. I was leaving the Hornets game. I called the engineer. I said, pull up on me right now. Pull up on me right now. Because the rest of the album, it was, it was more so it was got them just transparency putting the, the putting the motherfucking pain in that shit. It's putting everything in it. Testimony, telling the story, all that. Right, right. I'm putting it all out there. You know what I'm saying? Be more grateful. And then I'm like, I was waiting on one more. I'm like, I need one I need one more. Now I need some fun. I ain't start with the function. These funds, they sent me that. I'm like, Oh yeah, got to turn this bitch in. Let's go. I'm like, All right, let's go to Miami. I went to Miami, like a four or five man crew. Four or five man crew. We went down there. I said, we ain't doing a number vertical content before we left Miami. Whole world was on them off in the song. Went down there cold turkey. I called certain things. They was, I called niggas. We all came from three, four different places. We all got them went to Miami. We went down there. We was only going to stay down there for they need wet and no return flights went down there for two, three days, ended up staying down there for like a week and a half. They kept booking me for, for shit. Like once I got down there, like I get it. They kept booking me. Got them out of time. We left that shit. I ain't, I ain't got a chance to sit still since you know, what's interesting. I always ask artists this because I be trying to, you know, because you know, the pay scale different from 80s and 90s, 2000s, different show joint. Yeah. What's the most you ever got paid for a show? Because I remember like when I talk to different people with different things, the most Gil ever got paid was 1350. 1350 dollars. The $50 was for the travel and get there and eat. Damn. Cause it was a New York show. You know what I mean? It was a New York show and it was like, you catch the megabus $17 and the rest of the money from that. Eat with no trouble. Leave that shit. You know what I'm saying? I told me, man, listen, no, no, no, no, no straight up. Cause I'm in jail. I'm like, damn 13. I'm like, damn, that's cause I don't know the industry at the time. I'm like, damn, you killing them. Cause like 1350. I'm like, what? And he was, he was performing at his like this little, this little county fair, John, like a little, little small county fair outside of New York. Right. Yeah. I'm like, damn, that's cause I'm thinking like he kept them when I get out, like handed money, like dudes getting like, I'm like, damn, he wasn't really doing nothing. 1350 and he booked it. I'm like, damn, what was it? 1350 for travel. So I'm like, damn, all right, cool. Now what's the most you ever got paid? Cause I know it wasn't no $1350. 500,000. Damn. How did that, like getting that, getting that wire. So you like, oh, yeah. I mean, that shit was like around that time that was like multiple times. Or was that regular? Yeah, like like 400, the 500, the 500, I got 500,000 one time. But yeah, like, oh, 350, 400. That's how, yeah, that's where I was right before the, you know what I'm saying, the shifting that shit for sure. I got had a calendar full of shows. 350, 350, 375, 400, 300, I take 300, I ain't turning down 300. I take 300, I had a calendar full of them bitches. So yeah. Well, things got rough for you. Yeah. What's the lowest that went down? Yeah, from, could you go, you be there for a show from 500? Yeah. All right, listen, cause you still got to keep running like 30,000, but you didn't stop. Why? No, I went and got that. No, no, no, no, because I mean, Gilder had phone calls with the artists, call us man, what's the name of the gig? And they want to take a certain amount of money. And it'd be like, you're going there to do something. I ain't on that. I ain't on that. Fuck that. I mean, and see like, like motherfuckers, like on my team, they was on that, like when the shift first happened, like they was spoiled and not what you give them some answer when it first happened, you still have motherfuckers. The motherfuckers that was disconnected from it because they couldn't afford that $300,000 ticket and these is real. You know, these is motherfuckers. It's like, this is my audience still to you. You know what I'm saying? Like, I always wanted to do all of them. Right. I wasn't tripping. You know what I'm saying? I go on the jet, go do this show. I get on, I park the jet. I want to take my stuff off a lead stage, go get on that bitch. I go somewhere else, boom, go somewhere else. I was trying to do million a day. I wasn't, but not quitting. Like in terms of not quitting, like when it, when it, you got to go get all the money on, leave no money on the table. The fuck I'm going to do. Go home and got them. Watch TV. Like I need that. I always heard good things about you from promoters. Yeah. They say you come. But no, no, they say like, one of the things that killed the industry, people outpriced the promoter. Yeah. That club promoted in these countries and around the country. They the ones that they scrap it up. They scrape it up. Even if they got to go get with five dudes to get you some money to get, but they got outpriced so much to wear. A lot of them went broke. Yeah. A lot of them couldn't do it, but they was doing so much and a lot of dudes won't even double back to help a dude get on their feet or something like, like be like, damn, well, listen, I can take this now. So you can make some money, because the whole purpose is they need to make some money too. A lot of them kept it solid with them. They probably couldn't. I mean, a lot of them niggas probably don't even think I kept it solid with them because they couldn't get, I knew something that they was talking to somebody else that they wouldn't even got them. You see what I'm saying? Like hollering at me about it and just got them shooing them away. You know what I'm saying? Them was probably the type of niggas that was rubbing their hands like this when it came back around. And you know what I'm not, the same niggas that probably was trying to give me 150 before, but got told nigga, hell nah, probably got them got a chance to goddamn see me. Got them come take 30,000 from you. You get what I'm saying? But I wouldn't know. No, like give a fuck. You give them some because I wouldn't, I didn't talk to them directly, but like, you know, like the way my, my business was structured still at the time too, like I wouldn't as hands on as I am right now to be able to say, nah, I run every single number by me and let me tell you, yes, I know, you know what I'm saying? But I wouldn't have ever turned down. No, hell nah, no six figures to come. Just got too many hits. It's easy. Speaking on promoters, right? Yeah. You got to understand, right? A lot of promoters, they go broke because they be trying to do the famous shit over the business. You feel me? If I, if I'm a promoter, I know what my fucking ticket is. I know what my maximum is. I know what I do. This is what I do. So sometimes they say, let's go get the baby. Let's go get meek mill when they at the pinnacle and you know, you're going to give a motherfucker being 50. You're going to give a motherfucker 175. You're going to give a motherfucker 200. But you know, out this motherfucking venue, the most you ever did was 250 man.

You give them sound like I ain't even fighting the same fight. I was fighting at once. It was like, okay, where I'm like, I'm fighting your way out of there. Like, nah, I'm just doing me unapologetically like enjoying myself and and the music and everything is shine. It cut through. Like, and that's that's what I always did. That's why I always want, you know, I'm saying like my biggest records, whatever, like even when I hit the scene, like, you know, like, I'm my music got them get the party started, they make more fuckers have fun. And that's what you got. Like, the same going crazy right now. Pop that thing. Like, I did that shit in my living room. I believe in the game. Did that shit in my living room or to be our new it. Did my living room. Boom. Went down there, put the shit out there, the whole roll out of the album or everything. That's me and and in the three people, three, four people you see out here right now. Yeah, you know, I know I got the ability to make the song. Everything is right there in house, everything in house. I can make the song. I could shoot the content for it. I can market it. I can shoot the video without leaving nowhere, calling nobody. I got all the equipment, all the tools that's not 150 thousand dollar Ari lens. That's just one lens. No, no, no, 150 was just that big one. What was it important to invest in the equipment because you know, I did all that shit like 2020. So I so I can have all the tools necessary to be able to do whatever I want to do at the highest level. So I invested in the equipment first. And then I got them invested in acquiring the knowledge. That's me putting my my money behind them big budget videos, all them videos niggas to see me do, you know, I'm saying like putting my bag behind it. I wasn't going to get no budget approved. I was paying for that shit. While I'm on set, I'm listening. I'm learning. Okay, this called that this called that this how you do this. This how you do that. And now like I produce direct and star in projects from top to bottom. Then when we done shooting, I open them back book and edited the color and sessions, the color when they get color graded, I sit in and tell them how to adjust the colors, you know what I'm saying? And that's really like like that's what I got them. That's just that's what I preach. And that's what everybody around me practice like I'm real big on everybody involved in this shit wearing several hats. Everybody you see can do can do 10 different things. If they came in when they started, what was only doing one or two like actually, it's like, we get it in, you know, I'm saying, you know, it's funny you said I heard you earlier with my man, I guess he shoot the videos for you or something. He said, did you see it? You said, yeah, I seen it. I'm fucking with it. I just got to go in and touch it up. Yeah, right. I heard you say that. I gotta put my hands on it. You know what I fuck with them. Like when I be watching you on social media, right? Yeah, I really sit back and enjoy the like relationship that you got with the kids. For sure. And that's really what keep me, what keep me grounded, what keep me, you know what I'm saying? Smiling at this bitch is dumb. But you can tell they have been fun for sure. They love enjoying life. And you know, when I'll be looking at my grandkids and nieces and nephews and the things that I could do for them now when come on, man, that's what this shit all about. That alone, like if I had to stop doing this shit today and just be their daddy, be their uncle, and I have a ball. You know what I'm saying? I have a ball. And not only that, I got all the tools necessary to put in front of them, to do whatever they want to do. Because they actually, you know, I let my kids like, I don't force nothing on my youngings like that shit motherfuckers be seeing like I turned my nephew is like how my daughter is, that's them. That's them. That shit is I'm not ain't none of that force or nothing like my daughter know how to do all that shit. My nephew, they know how to do all that shit. So they even see them, you know what I'm saying? Take a liking and like what I do and what we didn't, you know, the way we didn't paved out this bitch and know that we got the ability to move the needle for them and make sure I perform like your daughter with what she got going on with the music. Now like she far, she dope like that. I know that shit feel amazing. I got to know that shit feel amazing. You know what I'm saying? Anybody involved with y'all did what y'all done got out here and did and put together break and executed your vision and it puts your opposition to be able to goddamn help anybody around you. You can you can help them all fucking if they if they fucking sell lemonade, you can tell them exactly how to sell it how to do it how to do like brothers the whole the whole package is up under one roof. You know what I'm saying? And and that's what the hell I got going on. That's what I pour in here. Everybody around me. So to see my kids got them soak it up like they really paying attention. You know what I'm saying? And not only that just see them enjoying life and not having to worry about goddamn you know what I'm saying? A bitch ass thing at the end of the day, but they still want to grind like they want to grind. They want to hustle like it's a beautiful thing. Like I'm good. I'm taking care of if I stop and we don't know them to take care of me. I'm gonna be straight. Right. You know what I'm saying? So this is a real question though. Yeah. When you was the same age as nephew, did you have as much swag as Nep? I can't believe you had to think about this. I ain't had no you know he told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. He told me. All these kids got different budgets than we had growing up. As much swag as Nep. Technology budget. I'm not gonna get that shit. I was that nigga. But Nep. You was the one. Nep. You cold. I ain't finna say that. Like hell no. Hell no. That's it. That's the real question. But he himself like without the budget like Nep. You a cold nigga. He ain't even with all that. Like you know I could bring Nep you around anybody. Like I could bring that nigga to goddamn basketball. It could be LeBron James and that motherfucker. Nep. You got damn straight. He don't give a fuck about none of that shit. Like he is goddamn. I'm telling you like that video that letter to my YM video where he's storing in the video. Read the directors. You can ask this one of the directors right there on the side by side. He talking to them. He giving them the instructions. The scene where he's sitting on the bench. Like the scene from belly when you're sitting on the beat. He's sitting on the bench. They got all the lights set up. I'm talking to my big production and he's sitting there talking to them. And after you're sitting there posting on the bench leaning exactly how he was in the video. He's like okay so yeah we gonna get when we when we come we're gonna get the shot and we need you to do this. We need you to do that. We need you to remember just gonna probably do it again. Do it three more time. He talking to them and he got done talking. He waiting on Nep you to say something. And then you just sitting there just looking him dead in his eyes with the straight face like nigga stop talking to me bro and turn the camera over. I got this. There he is. It's hot outside. Like he looks like damn bro. Like look he walked over. He like damn bro you ain't live. Bro this really is him. Bro I'm like yeah this nigga he different bro. I can't. And that come from the struggle. Like he got his own struggle within himself. Like my nephew scene and done have been through some shit no matter who his uncle is. You know what I'm saying. Like no matter who I am like that don't really change the cloth that my people cut from you know what I'm saying. So we similar and that like my struggle wasn't no different to his. It is because he got he got an uncle. I ain't gonna never let him fail. You get what I'm saying. Like I ain't gonna never let him fail but at the same time like he didn't seem he didn't seem more than a lot of grown men to see you know what I'm saying. That boy that committed suicide when he was two three years old. You know what I mean. Like so he growing up in the aftermath of that in the household this this dealing with that trauma from that you know what I'm saying. So you know like we all we all cut from a certain cloth man and it's just beautiful to you know to see that shit already to be able to see it. Like to be able to know that boy from when he before he was born see him be born and to see him already know how to goddamn turn his struggle in the in the sweat. You get what I'm saying. Turn it into goddamn this and that and you got you know you got motherfuckers out here who got a billion dollars. They wish they kid was like nephew. They see nephew. They like damn I wish my son was like that. You know what I'm saying. So that's just another testimony that like you know just our struggle in our stories making us who the fuck we is. You know what I'm saying. Like niggas got them bro. That's what this shit all about at the end of the day and just being grateful for what the fuck we got making the best out of it. That's what everybody's standing here doing and you know that's just that's what I'm putting out into the world right now. That's what I'm on. I was doing that. I can't lose. If you go back and you look at the history of million dollars worth of games. You first came to Charlotte. We came to I think we came to your country. Yeah. Yeah. That's when you had the whole artist. Yeah. All the artists did. Then we came back. We came to the crib. I'm talking about all the cars out there. It creeps it up football field basketball. I think we came to the crib two times. Yeah. Right. Two different times. Right. Now we come in and you buy 40 acres. 40 acres. So if you ain't seen the evolution that's been going on. You could just go back and watch all that. That's the fact. It won't take you nothing about three four hours. Right. You learn so much more watching that than you would learn from watching God damn you know a movie on Netflix. That's the fact. Absolutely. You're going to see God damn the shine at the first one. You're going to see God damn the struggle. You're going to see some more of the struggle but you're going to see a nigga never getting through it. You know what I'm saying. You're going to see boom. What's at the end of the tunnel and with that alone with them with that what what you call it. The trilogy is three. What you call it when it's four. Who fucking knows. You go watch them four four five or however many times we didn't did it. Man you're going to be able to pick up a billion dollars. No and we got the concert in here too. Got the concert in there too. Yeah. Come on man. Then you came to Gillyfest. Shut that joint down. Absolutely. He came to the to our demand. I was worth a game. Bruce Picnic basketball. He's got a good man. Shut that down. Did he score anything for real? Yeah I did. I got a little buck on you. I know Cooper. He was in there. Yeah. He was in there. But you know what I you know what I loved about it bro.

Try Blue Diamond Omens and more the flavorful nuts. Before the game he was just in the midst of the people. Yeah. Kicking him in the back. And it was an opportunity for the kids from the inner cities of Philadelphia to really connect with you man. Run up on you speak to you talk to you play with you have conversations with you and for us that was most important. You know what I mean because we never see no fucking man. No you ain't never seen nobody. We was never be able to be able to walk up on one of our favorite rappers and just be kicking it. I ain't see nobody till I start rapping and go. Oh no no no no no. I did when I got inducted into the Wu Tang. We was down. No you didn't see that nigga. I was down there with mephamane. Mephamane. You watched the nigga smoke a joint. And we were in the back.

I could have got. The world of stories kids don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Because the world of stories is this right back in the day right. He wanted to be the Pat down dude. He didn't want to be the nigga that draw the joint. He wanted to be because I'm a sneaky nigga low key. So he always wanted to be the nigga that we had the money. I want you to. I want you to.

He had a gun. He was running. Because listen them Jones was for decoration back in the day. All the young boys, the young brothers, the wives, listen nephews. That Joe was always for decoration purposes. Who the fuck? Y'all started operating them Jones in an unbelievable pace. It was not. It was supposed to be like everything was about a negotiation.

But anytime the nigga got close, he would lift the gun up from behind like this. Like he was about to shoot the big guy. I do it. I do it. But he would not let that bitch off. Okay. Throw that bitch in the air or something. They swindled that bitch up in the motherfucking city. In the hood. He gonna tell me I shoot clouds. I came through a couple times. Because listen. When niggas hit that first drink off, they don't know that you wasn't trying to kill them. They just hit that shit go off. So then when they run. Bop bop bop bop bop.

He thought he was dead. He was arguing with this boy in the store. The boy slapped him in the head and let the gun go off. Bop. He's like he's gonna get up dead. Calm him down. That's why I ain't never been a fan of the pistol whip shit. That pistol whip is a shit. You had a 380 print over his head. He was like a print over his head. Bop. He screamed me all the way until I bleed. He was bitching in the store. Pussy you ain't feel that heat. I felt that fucking heat on my biscuit. Fuck you Tom. I had a ball here since back in the day. Pussy you ain't feel that heat. I felt that fucking heat on my biscuit. I felt that fucking heat on my biscuit. Let that shit go off. He tried to duck too. Boom in the store. He's a bobbed it. I had to get back at the bag. He's a bobbed it. He's a bobbed it. I knew he ain't mean to do it. When I did this I saw his face. He was like. He thought he fucked. He thought he screamed. I'm dead. He thought he hit. That's what I knew he was bluffing. I still had to go over there to get him up out of there. He might have tried to do me again. You did right. You gotta play pussy. I'm not playing pussy. Sometimes you gotta know when to hold them. You never trust a word. Smart man. You say what you said. You didn't be in a situation where you fucking draw it. You went in the pussy mode because everybody done it. I'm the only person that done it. No. Nigga ain't pulled on you. I'll take the da out of your name baby when I'm done. First of all. I got a story. I got a story. I got a story. We was leaving the club. I was already rapping this shit. Small town club. It's tournament season and every game feels like an upset waiting to happen. But there's a clear number one seed in the snack bracket. Blue diamond almonds and more. This ain't no play in nut mix. It's almonds, cashews and pistachios in top tier blue diamond flavors. Like honey roasted, smokehouse and roasted sea salt. Freshness guaranteed. 5 grams of protein per serving. No filler. The official snack of the Big Ten is a dominant mix from tip off to the final whistle. Upgrade your snack game with blue diamond almonds and more. The flavorful nut mix. It was like a security guard at the front of the club. He didn't let us come in with our guns. He was waiting on us. This is when I was on the come up. They know we got a gun coming in. I'm not going to go in. I'm not going to go in. We got a gun coming in. I'm not going in without him. He was real big on it. I didn't want to fuck the money up. He was real big on it. He was real big on it. Let's not have a gun. I said we're going to get the money. I left one thing outside. Just to make sure we still... We went in. I think that's the show. That is the show where I was performing like that R&B song I had at the time. Like I was performing for a chick or whatever. The nigga came and snapped. It was his girlfriend. I didn't know she was up at the front with the phone. It was like 12 people out in the crowd. It was other motherfuckers off in the club. One of the early shows. I could probably find this footage. He came and grabbed her by her arm. I'm performing for her and a couple other girls. He grabbed her by her arm. I wasn't even facing her no more. I'm performing to another girl like in her face. When he grabbed his girl by her arm, I'm not even facing her no more. I'm facing somebody else. I felt somebody do like this to me. Grabbed his girl by her arm and I was like, Nudge me when I felt her. I turned around and I'm like, That nigga just pushed me. I kept performing. I'm like, your next ad lib. I'm punching this nigga. I'm performing this shit. He's like, right here where you at, Wilder. I'm performing. I'm performing. I punched him. We get to fighting in that bitch. We got this whole little click together. Country boys. We in the car by this time now. But he know we got guns in the car. Don't fucking move. I'm gonna kill you. Don't fucking move. I was on the opposite side of the car. But still, the shit they were shooting, it was gonna go through everything. I was on the opposite side of the car. I still ain't played pussy. I kinda wanted to like. Everybody would have got killed though. I could have been on some Desperado shit. But they weren't worth it. I had the letter nigga draw down on us and I do nothing about it. Fast forward about a year and a half later. By now, it's 2019. Like the top of 2019. Right before I'm about to pop. We go to do a walk through at a club during the day. Because it was somewhere in Virginia or something. We already in the market. So we gonna kill time. We wanna see how the club set up. We go do the walk through in the club during the daytime. Guess who we see? The same security guard. All the same niggas that I was with. When we seen them back in the day. As soon as we walked in and seen them in the club. They got him there to open the door during the day. We seen them and we just sitting there the whole day. Like damn, do we wanna straighten that? Like damn, we supposed to straighten that. Damn. Like damn, we got him. We like that's him. You were supposed to be there. You didn't hear. Let him go. You do the pussy man. That's gonna count. How do you bitch it for him and his niggas?
