what happened was actually i was driving
and um so it was both my father was my
fault and it was also the terraform
he was in the two-door going over 60
which he shouldn't again
at all and i i actually ran stop sign
but this is why i said it wasn't
necessarily my fault
because when the cops came the whole
neighborhood complained because
there was this huge tree this big drake
tree that grew over the south side and
they've been calling the city to come
cut down the tree before they said
almost a year so they said people run
that all the time not knowing you know
what i mean a stop sign should be there
so that that's what it was for me i'm
just driving didn't see the damn that time
time
i got hit so let's say this is my jeep i
got hit i spun
out and while i spun out there was a
parked car in my jeep
the right side of my jeep spun hit the
car and i flipped
over the park car goddamn and like
luckily i didn't break that i was just
bruised up so man here here
all of this i'm [ __ ] up and like
very [ __ ] bad i don't even get in the
car anymore
i never forget um our our best friend
sasha he picked us
he picked me up i was live i was
standing up her mouth at the time he
picked me up
and we didn't even make it to the corner
i could not sit in the front seat
i had to get on this in the back seat
lay down in the backseat
and i i was like that for a little while
but yeah
so after that accident i already went
home soared as hell
cried because i was having all these
just being true i remember texting my
managers and stuff at the time we got to
get on call
this is important they know what was
going on i got on calls and told them if
i was in a bad accident they thought
that was it
to say but i knew because i i was already
already
done with it for so long you know what i mean
mean
and um yeah but
okay now now we're doing more okay okay
like how's that all happening like the
contract obviously was overwatch product
you swear oh oh so the the label that
that was signed without
endoscope right well we were late in
scope okay
and then how we got out of that deal is
grinding [ __ ] happening and so we were
able to get a
out of that deal with no just
yeah no difficulties you you might think
what happened not going to be jail i'm
i'm not mistaken i think i think that you're
you're
trying to sign pride behind our back
assumption like that
so that was a breach of contract so we
were able to leave
right then we went over to sony
and then there was a point where i was
the only one not scientists only
because i didn't like the people we sent
they just messed up a lot of business
for me but
there was a show called the get down
it's on netflix yeah it's based out of
the nerd
yeah so i went to do the audition my
first time ever doing an acting audition
and i landed the lead role for that show
the person who was signed with 100 sony
just shut down no no no every email they sent
sent
his response was no it didn't have the
nerve to call me saying everyone in the coach
coach
a week later i went out for another role
for static shock
remember that cartoon launcher so i went
out for the rollercoaster
got it he did the same thing and that's
when i realized okay i've got to go
because you're messing up so much money
i just for the
netflix role there was i think it was 13 episodes
episodes
that was willing to do like 35 10 episodes
episodes
you know y'all was so big at the time
he was just messing up big money yeah so
they remember jaden was in the show
yeah so then they put the lead role this
is before i got my country
in the book in the role they didn't have
jaden for that role yet
well i think they did happen in mind but
then they really wanted me that was like
you know you got this role for you
he's kind of androgynous you know whatever
whatever
um you'll pay me more to be one of the
whole extra changer
he still said no and i was i can't do
this yeah so then we were all in
sony and then uh
he eventually we were gone for so long i
think that deal just kind of went
under the table and then by time the two
new members came we were kind of like independent
independent
you know what i mean um probably pretty
much had like the money to
do it i said okay um
yeah so it all kind of stemmed from like
once a party to left
and then that once that happened it was
almost like the contract
because i think literally the contract
was over during that year anyway
which is why it was he was free to just
walk so basically they made that dude
all around the world album and
that was basically the end of everything
yeah that was everything
album was yeah like the last album yeah
and i was probably like yeah
it was i don't think if i'm not mistake
it wasn't because i just think
my contract was a it was like a few year contract
contract
so by the time the album was done it was
it was
all here to resign you know what i'm
saying you know
i was like i'm gone yeah so like let's
talk about the financing
now like how was it like y'all split
splitting the money now between the management
management
well let's forget the management how
would you
prague prince and rocks explain it was
the thing is we had keisha yeah he was
pretty much running the show
like if you you should think of a branch
that like created that
yeah who else had to manage yourself [Music]
[Music] what
[Music]
he was super lucky so who's the other
man the one that is the only were
talking about walked up on bt awards
oh i think watch it yeah he won't see
his producer
okay um
yeah it was just a lot of people trying
to play a role yeah
it was like so much people we haven't
seen her there's too much going on
assigned to vincent
yeah and now you know let's just go
underscore records yeah um
which is cool because he had got god at
the time
was like the big bang right there you
know i mean they are all
big artists and all that that's so crazy
i never signed to a label again
yeah you know it's crazy because i
always said like like you know
you know like at that time like i really
didn't even label bro
people would just not y'all but people
were just money hungry
my opinion made money hungry and those
times with so much money
hey know how much they can get up there
but not thinking if we do
we'd be independent these boys take off
let me just say this to the camera
you're an artist and you're a true creative
creative
and you know what you're doing and you
want to create
music but you want to make good money remain
remain
independent do your research and figure
out how to put your music on all platforms
platforms
and educate yourself because you make so
you will get to a point where you can
invest in yourself i wasn't just telling
you this
yes bro right now
i just let's just say this year though
2020 has been trash
yes what especially kobe i didn't start
really dropping music until
january 6 which was my birthday i
dropped my first single video
right now after that dropped ice with me
paris yeah
jack brothers with with bro
you know six months
i've made so much goddamn money
yeah just running the show by myself i
have a manager
i have pr that's all you need you don't
need no [ __ ] label
you don't need all these these different
avenues and platforms
yeah you just don't need it at all
because once you're known
that's all that matters like you can
learn to show yourself
bro and after all that i'll be down if i
like people don't know this but and if
you do have the first album out there
look inside me those pictures
i literally drew by hand while traveling
i don't even pay for that i didn't get
no credit for that
you're going to send little cry feel
like dave scott
killed korea but i was also a real bad
dancer mm-hmm
and i was also in there so i'm playing
your work gang you get the credit for
giving pride sometimes you know what i'm
saying no credit no credit
and that's no disrespect to dave at all
or just you know
love david scott it's probably one of
the best questions for the dancers i've
ever met in my life yeah
i'm just saying just teamwise yes you
get them too yeah
it's crazy so prince
how how about what's going on that did
it all
um you know we keep revealing this
in another shot i'm not just saying this
because it's me i'm being biased
at all and that [ __ ]
literally had nothing to do with me just like
like
things on his end that was being said
about me
that were getting back to me from like secure
secure
people that like if they said it okay
i'll get it
you know anything are just running into
people they're like oh
he did this he's done that he said this
he said that i don't do that he said
she said you know me but also y'all have
to understand that i've been in a group
with this kid for five years
yeah i know how you maneuver i know how
you work sentences
yeah i've seen the text i've seen everything
everything
no you know like your mother yeah
so it's just like it was no denying it
it was that type of thing
that's one he also felt some type of
weapon i just left
he kind of felt abandoned but it's just
like you understand my well-being is
more important than anything else
you know i'm not ready to keep being
someone's puppet and being robbed
for fun no no it's not happening
that as well it was just a lot
you know i mean there's a lot going on um
um
yeah that that's like me keeping it cute
you know because there's
still a lot of [ __ ] going on right now
to where like the consumer don't know so
when i say little [ __ ] they're like
ready why are you saying this or why are
you saying that whatever
like seriously if i wanted to i could really
really
i wanted so i could really you know talk
out of respect to the beautiful people
that actually
love the group you know the fans and you
know they want to see this dance you
know you're a fan
of the shirt they hurt you you broke all
right but it comes to
you know consequences understand that
like you know
i've learned this for like meditation
and just being spiritual
that i'm saying when someone's a glitch
yes in your life
you eliminate them the best thing you
can do
is declutter somebody yeah just
eliminate take them away you know what
i'm saying and that's one that's what i
had to do
yeah sometimes i just walk away yeah
because at this point
we're not benefiting each other any way possible
possible
nothing good will come out of us being
cordial friend whatever
yeah it's not business my mom i don't
care yeah
if we were in high school and i've said
i've said this to him i've said this to
even other members
and we're in high school i would have
never hung out with you
you would have never been in my friend
group that's deep
it's just true we bonded because we were
put together in a group
and we were fortunate to be friends true
and we became brothers because of that
because we were working every single day
yeah but as soon as we had the time to
be independent
and grow we realized
we're not alike yeah cheap true colors
not okay
exactly it was all fake for the cameras
and everything
you know what i'm saying like
that situation so let's so like
okay so everyone's broken up now for me
you're cool with pride you could rock
and does anyone else feel the same way
powerpress or just you
i mean if you want to speak for yourself
yeah i'm only going to speak for more okay
okay
i know how everybody else do but you're
not gonna say nothing but yeah
yeah that's not my problem yeah i'm
always freaking out
so who can have a chance like do you
ever see like honestly on some
man man bro brother brother you know we
built a bond like i came to l.a like you said

business but like

hair but one more time dude if i can do
it one more time without the labels

one-time thing um
