4:35
question J pinky Smith is
4:39
here welcome
4:41
back hey damn I didn't know
4:46
2017 D it's been too long you you were
4:48
up here I remember that day like it was
4:50
you said a lot in that interview it's a
4:52
lot of questions people were asking you
4:54
today because of the Memoir right that
4:56
you spoke about in that interview back
4:58
in 2017 te right when you hear your talk
5:02
about that moment being in I guess the
5:04
Baltimore area and having dealing with
5:07
you know in the streets like that and
5:09
then saying you know I'mma put it all in
5:12
a book yeah had you started writing it
5:14
yet but at that time no no I hadn't even
5:18
started yet so you said it that day on
5:20
this on this show yeah and today the
5:23
book is out y'all yeah damn wow 6 years
5:27
later years later manifestation that's
5:31
manifestation yeah yeah for sure I knew
5:34
one day you know I knew one day but and
5:37
I knew in order to tell my story and as
5:40
well as you know pac's story in which it
5:43
relates to my story it would have to be
5:44
in the book because there's too much
5:47
history too much context for me to you
5:49
know even to just talk about it here on
5:51
a radio show you need too much time to
5:54
break it down you know so in a book you
5:57
know I really get to draw people in into
6:00
my life you know and set it up so that
6:04
people can have like more understanding
6:07
and have that history in context why why
6:09
is that important to you though why why
6:10
did you need people to have any
6:12
understanding why does that matter well
6:14
that's why it took me so long to write
6:16
the book right because I needed a reason
6:18
to write the book besides hey here's my
6:20
story yeah right Worthy is about really
6:25
me sharing all the years that I didn't
6:30
have that sense of self-worth right
6:33
going from feeling unlovable to lovable
6:37
and in that really sharing the journeys
6:41
that made me feel lovable those Journeys
6:44
that made me feel unworthy and then how
6:47
I had to walk myself to that consistent
6:51
Place Within Myself That save Place
6:54
Within Myself That is constantly telling
6:56
me you are worthy so to me me that was a
7:01
worthy reason to share my story yes
7:04
right and it just so happens that pcket
7:07
part of that story absolutely yeah um
7:10
how do you
7:11
decide is there something you didn't
7:13
include in this book oh it's a whole lot
7:16
I didn't include in this book right so
7:19
okay
7:21
oh well you know the next question do I
7:24
need to ask it no I mean you know
7:26
there's this is just I know it's seems
7:29
like it's a lot of life because it is a
7:31
lot of life in the book but it's very
7:33
streamlined there's so like layers and
7:36
layers and layers and layers there's no
7:37
way I could have put it all in one book
7:40
there's no way you know so you know
7:43
there's definitely other books to come I
7:45
mean even will and I are thinking about
7:47
writing a book we were talking about
7:48
this last night writing a book called
7:50
don't try this at home where he and I
7:53
kind of sit down and talk about our
7:55
specific journey together yeah Will said
7:58
that yeah oh man tell Will I said what
8:01
up
8:03
stupid [ __ ] will fan stand will came
8:07
up here with um Martin Lawrence oh yeah
8:10
and did that freestyle to brand new did
8:11
you see that I did J you ain't got to
8:14
lie I did you did okay you saw yeah okay
8:16
that was my childhood dream to get um
8:20
all right since I played that clip can
8:22
we talk about the the the that moment
8:25
that you had to sell crack ah yeah cuz
8:28
when you brought that up I was like what
8:30
and then you left us on that Cliff fer
8:31
what were the circumstances like where
8:33
were you at in your life so I was about
8:36
four 14 15 years old my mom was really
8:43
deep in her addiction really deep in her
8:45
addiction and it was just her and I you
8:48
know that the the two stable people that
8:50
I had in my life which was my
8:51
grandmother passed away when I was 13
8:54
right so she was like a safe haven for
8:56
me and then my bonus father my stepdad
9:00
who she was married to at the time they
9:02
decided to get a divorce right and so
9:06
then my mother and I for the first time
9:09
we were thrown into a life together with
9:11
just she and I
9:14
and she just she wasn't available yeah
9:18
and so much so I didn't know whether my
9:21
mom was going to make it or not yeah you
9:23
know what I mean and so I really felt
9:25
like I really got to go out here and
9:28
figure out how to gain some
9:30
security some safety right and how to
9:34
just build something for myself that no
9:37
matter what happens I'mma be okay word
9:40
so where I come from we didn't have
9:43
doctors and lawyers that you could look
9:46
to and go oh I'm going to go for that I
9:48
need something immediate we had the
9:50
hustlers they had WS of cash they were
9:53
also Street CEOs they had businesses
9:56
they had sub shops they had barber shop
9:59
nail salons shoe stores and I was like
10:02
yo I'm trying to have that come up right
10:04
and I was like I'm that kind of
10:07
personality I mean once I put my mind to
10:10
something I know I can make it happen
10:13
and so just being steeped in that
10:15
environment I was like that's going to
10:17
be my way out you was doing that was
10:20
doing that you know and I mean it was
10:22
you know when you're when you're
10:24
immersed in an environment like that you
10:27
you you're not you're just there that's
10:30
just what it is right and even though I
10:32
went to Baltimore School for the yarts
10:33
now you have to remember I wasn't the
10:35
only one at Baltimore School for the
10:36
yarts who was hustling oh no yeah people
10:39
hustle in high school but was Pac
10:41
hustling not at that time not at that
10:43
time no because Pac wasn't Pac wasn't
10:46
from Baltimore yeah you know what I'm
10:48
saying and so um yeah he didn't he
10:51
didn't get into that what what level
10:53
were you a boss or I feel you I'm like
10:57
I'm like a 14 like what
11:02
yeah you a king P J wish I I was trying
11:05
to I was
11:07
trying I was trying you're trying it I
11:09
was trying it okay didn't quite make it
11:12
did you get robbed I would have robbed
11:13
you if I got robbed I
11:16
got
11:18
listen listen I am lucky to be here
11:22
today I talk about it in the book I talk
11:24
about two instances and and they were
11:27
don't even get me started those were
11:29
just the two most extreme instances that
11:31
I had but yeah I got robed wow yeah is
11:35
that what what made you
11:36
quit uh that well I'd have probably the
11:40
second time uhhuh you know when I was
11:42
like okay this isn't me for you there
11:45
was this is actually a signal coming
11:48
your way that that you not built for
11:50
this and so and I would have to say once
11:53
my mother found out cuz she found some
11:57
leftover product in my room now she
11:59
thought I was using okay right and then
12:02
she heard from through the gra Vine that
12:04
I had gotten you know robbed in Cherry
12:06
Hill and Cherry Hill mind you is like
12:09
it's a peninsula one way in one way out
12:12
of the projects right and she was like
12:16
what the and she was like you getting up
12:17
out of here because I had gotten a
12:19
scholarship to North Carolina School for
12:20
the Arts a very small one but I
12:23
auditioned and they wanted me to come
12:25
but I wasn't going I was going to stay
12:26
in Baltimore and just keep trying trying
12:29
my luck in the streets and my mother got
12:31
me the hell up out of there she was not
12:34
playing with me so I would say that she
12:36
probably saved my life how long did how
12:38
long did your uh dope Dillan career last
12:40
would you say maybe about maybe about
12:43
two years two years two years two years
12:46
that's a lot of surviving yeah it two
12:49
years two years what what do you say to
12:52
your kids about that oh I I tell my kids
12:54
everything so I I've been told them that
12:57
story see that's how I said set up like
12:59
listen when I'm telling you something
13:01
I'm not telling you something just to
13:03
tell you something and let me tell you
13:04
why I'm telling you this I
13:06
lived it's like oh okay Mom yeah so when
13:11
I tell you watch your back Willow when I
13:12
tell you I need you in this house at 11
13:14
o'clock this is why you know and and so
13:18
your kids go okay you not just trying to
13:20
parent me like that parental just trying
13:22
to strangle me stuff I was like no no no
13:24
there ain't nothing out here for you
13:26
Willow after 11 mhm no ain't
13:29
wow yeah you know what I'm saying so is
13:31
there an age as a parent that you think
13:34
is best to share when did you share with
13:37
the both of them these parts of your
13:39
life you you kind of have to you kind of
13:42
each child is different you know what I
13:44
mean and so it just depends on on that
13:48
particular child but I think with Willow
13:50
and Jaden just the both of them at the
13:53
same time but they were they were kind
13:54
of young I think Jaden might have been
13:57
about 14 mhm and then J Willow was is
14:02
she two years younger than Jaden yeah so
14:06
yeah this is fun I'm
14:09
saying we at a whole tour yo this is so
14:14
much fun for me U Jada P Smith is here
14:16
DB you wanted to yeah first of all I
14:18
want to say I love demon KN that's one
14:20
of my favorite movies I just like repeat
14:23
um I was having a conversation about
14:25
luck and some people you know depending
14:27
on what side of the fence you you sit on
14:29
feel like luck either is or isn't part
14:31
of somebody's success was there a moment
14:33
in your career maybe early on before the
14:35
fame and the marriage and everything
14:37
like coming to you where luck literally
14:39
was just like how you got an opportunity
14:41
and nothing had to do with who you knew
14:43
or anything you know like that
14:45
look I I I
14:48
think I would say
14:51
me going into different world and
14:54
auditioning for that guest role and
14:57
Debbie Allen being in the room was luck
15:01
right and her you know seeing me and
15:06
that day she said I'm not going to give
15:08
this guest starring role to you but I
15:10
want to create a character a series
15:12
regular I went in for a guest role and
15:15
walked out as a series regular I'd have
15:18
to
15:19
say with luck and being prepared for an
15:23
opportunity right so you got to be
15:25
prepared for luck right so you luck is
15:30
being at the right place at the right
15:31
time like we can't
15:33
always like we can't always create that
15:37
I I consider that luck but when that
15:40
luck Comes Your Way being prepared to
15:43
really take because we can we got luck
15:45
all around us all the time all the time
15:47
do you have the eyes to see it do you
15:48
have the preparation to take it by the
15:50
horns right and so I would just say with
15:53
a bit of luck and preparation yeah can
15:56
you speak a little more in depth about
15:57
Debbie Allen your relationship with her
15:59
she's an amazing individual who's been
16:01
on this show and and I want to take this
16:03
opportunity to put the spotlight on all
16:05
the folks yeah that she's touched and
16:08
she I mean yeah forget about I mean
16:11
she's she's like our surrogate mom yeah
16:14
you know it's like Debbie Debbie is like
16:18
she she raised me in Hollywood you know
16:21
she's until this day mhm you know and so
16:26
without
16:27
her you know I I even on on like a
16:30
different world like she just she looked
16:33
out she was making sure we all knew how
16:35
to write scripts we all had
16:37
opportunities to to direct she when Pac
16:40
got me um hooked up with Menace to
16:43
Society she made it so that I could you
16:46
know do that movie because I was
16:48
contracted by different world oh so you
16:51
weren't really allowed I wasn't allowed
16:53
to exclusivity yes yes it's like you're
16:57
under
16:59
contract okay so you can shoot a movie
17:02
when this show is down and Debbie Allen
17:03
said oh no no she's going to do this
17:06
movie and she went and fought for me you
17:08
know so then she helped launch my movie
17:10
career there you go right Debbie Allen
17:14
hey I'm going to live
17:18
forever I'm going to learn how to fly
17:23
fly
17:26
anyway you know J it's so interesting
17:30
the responses to your interviews to
17:32
their book um on one side which is the
17:35
side that I reside on I can really feel
17:38
that this is in service to your soul and
17:40
in service to The Souls of others that's
17:42
right and that you want to use your
17:44
story to in your own words show other
17:47
people how they can recognize their own
17:49
worth yeah then we have another side
17:53
that's like Jay why are you emasculating
17:55
your husband again again why is all this
17:59
oversharing etc etc and the question
18:01
that comes to mind for me is is
18:05
something only sacred if it's private
18:08
can something remain sacred when it is
18:11
shared publicly and also what is the
18:15
definition of oversharing for
18:18
you
18:20
so when we're talking about our
18:22
community is a really deep
18:24
subject right especially when we're
18:27
talking about our black women
18:29
I'm talking about my sisters and I'm
18:30
talking about
18:32
myself it's a very complicated thing
18:35
because we have been taught to um take
18:39
care of everyone else
18:41
first right and a lot of times it's one
18:46
or the other right it's like we often
18:50
times we don't have permission to share
18:52
our stories because our stories are
18:55
connected to other people right right
18:58
right and so we we are taught that we're
19:03
to protect everyone else by all means
19:07
necessary right and so it gets
19:10
complicated because there's so many
19:12
complicated Dynamics within the black
19:14
community as far as black people yes and
19:18
how we relate to each other and what we
19:20
have to deal with in the world right and
19:24
so sometimes it's like just be quiet
19:28
so that you know you're not supposed to
19:30
be telling your business you know
19:32
putting your dirty laundry out there and
19:34
it's like but what we have to understand
19:36
as a
19:37
community is that when we don't share
19:42
and we don't share what we are learning
19:45
on our journey then we stay
19:48
stuck right and so we have to be able to
19:53
just step outside of these boxes step
19:56
outside of these IDE ideas of what we
19:59
believe keep us safe because these are
20:02
the ideas that keep us stuck right and
20:07
check it I know it's really hard I was
20:10
pissed too when I realized that my
20:13
relationship would never be perfect yeah
20:16
I was mad as hell yeah I was mad MH so
20:21
much so I was like Bonk it I'm out of
20:23
here right so I get it so I want to
20:27
acknowledge that first it's hard when
20:30
you really want to hold on to an idea
20:33
it's hard when you want to hold on to a
20:34
fantasy but at some point we got to get
20:37
to real life right and what I am finding
20:42
in this journey with Will is a deeper
20:45
more authentic kind of love and relating
20:49
than that picture perfect idealistic
20:54
unrealistic way of relating right and I
20:58
feel like when we try to hold on to
21:01
these ideas then we never get an
21:02
opportunity to see each other none of us
21:05
are perfect just like sway said I'm not
21:07
perfect Will's not perfect our
21:10
relationship's not perfect but there is
21:12
some beauty and perfection in that
21:15
imperfection and that's all I'm trying
21:17
to share this is not a tell all that's
21:20
not a tell all hell
21:22
no this ain't a tell all no this ain't a
21:26
tell all this ain't a tell
21:28
can you imagine what a tell all to you
21:30
would be it ain't coming out n this
21:32
ain't a tell all you know and that this
21:34
is me telling all my stuff but it Ain
21:38
right it's a tell it's let so let me
21:40
change that it's definitely a tell all
21:42
on Jada yes yes it's a tell all on Jada
21:46
but ain't a tell all on nobody else cuz
21:49
I'm not here to tell nobody else's
21:50
Journey yeah I'm just not right you know
21:53
so I think that the way some of the
21:55
headlines were set up it looked looks as
21:58
if you know I'm putting some stuff out
22:01
there that maybe Will's not and let me
22:02
just let everybody know okay will has
22:05
been in complete partnership with me on
22:08
this yeah I already bet on that yeah
22:10
he's been in complete partnership with
22:12
me on this you know this is not
22:15
something that's like oh she done wrote
22:17
a book and he don't know nothing it's
22:19
none of that like that's my dude you
22:22
know and so but I get why people are
22:25
having a bit of a challenge you know but
22:29
I
22:29
think everything is just going to be
22:32
what it's going to be when it's going to
22:34
be right but at the same time I I I got
22:37

29:40
engaging in other relationships outside

of their marriage he explains quote we
29:45
have given each other trust and freedom
29:47
with the belief that everybody has to

find their own way and marriage for us
29:51
can't be a prison and I don't suggest
29:54
our road for anybody I don't suggest
29:56
this road for anybody but the
29:58
experiences and the freedoms that we've
30:00
given one another and the unconditional
30:02
support to me is the highest definition
