Kountry Wayne joins Sway in the Morning to break down his incredible journey from the streets to becoming a digital ecosystem and comedy powerhouse. In this deep dive, he shares the blueprint for modern creators and explains why he made the bold pivot from silly jokes to high-stakes social media drama.
Throughout the conversation, Wayne opens up about the discipline required to maintain a clean, vegan lifestyle and how that clarity fuels his prolific content creation. He doesn't hold back on the realities of fatherhood, managing relationships with his ten children, and why he prioritizes being a father over being a husband. From hilarious stories about cooking and fishing to profound gems about protecting your spiritual energy, this interview covers the full spectrum of Wayne's philosophy on life and business.
Wayne also discusses his independent film projects, including his work with Coco Jones, and explains why he chooses to own his content rather than signing it away to major studios. To top it all off, he proves his roots in music by dropping an official freestyle that leaves the studio buzzing.

>> Oh, yeah, for sure, man. I can't go
2:04
nowhere now, especially in the South.
2:07
Everybody want to be in a skit or just

2:12
I just do.
2:13
>> You do it?
2:13
>> I find if I I see something in
2:15
everybody. So, everybody can act, but

2:20
is a lot of employment.
2:22
It's a lot of opportunities, and I give
2:24
it to a lot of people. And some of the
2:25

even know them.
2:28
They'll be coming up to me be like,
2:29
"Man, I was in your skit." I'm like,
2:31
"Oh,

2:33
Yeah, but it it it has gotten beyond
2:36

That's how I know it was God cuz it's
2:39
something beyond me that made it happen.

3:09
of awareness.
3:10
>> Right.
3:10
>> Like you just don't You know what I
3:12
mean? Like you have to have You ain't
3:14
just picking random
3:15
>> Oh, no, no.
3:16
>> I had Before comedy, I had nightclubs
3:18
and all that. So, you know, I already
3:20
was I knew how to hustle and I always
3:22
had a sense of I always had a sense of
3:24
social media because I was like that in
3:25
high school. So, social media, if I had
3:27
to give a class, it's just like high
3:29
school.
3:29
>> Mhm.
3:29
>> You know, you know, it's first day of
3:31
school, you want to see your outfit if
3:32
you want everybody to see your outfit,
3:34
walk in right before the bell ring while
3:36
everybody sitting in the
3:37
>> That's it.
3:38
>> It's like, you know, when everybody in
3:41
the hood, everybody ride through they
3:42
car pull up when everybody already
3:44
there. So, it's like it's social media
3:46
all about timing. And yeah, so it is
3:49
some education and some intellectual um
3:51
that is put into it, but overall, man,
3:54
hey, Jesus is popping.
3:55
>> Jesus is popping.
3:56
>> And you also um before we came on live,
3:58
we were, you know, just greeting and
4:00
catching up. And um you gave us some
4:03
really beautiful words. You poured into
4:05
us. So, thank you for that. That's not
4:06
for you.
4:06
>> Y'all what y'all are to the people, man,
4:08
like everybody already knew y'all was
4:10
anointed. They just didn't know what it
4:11
was. Even before y'all got this far.
4:13
It's just when y'all was on, it just
4:15
still felt like home. And y'all in the
4:17
biggest city, you know what I'm saying?
4:18
Y'all was in New York. So, to still feel
4:20
like to be in Georgia and people in
4:21
South Carolina still feel like what
4:24
y'all doing still feel like collard
4:26
greens, man. It just still It make You
4:29
know, it still feel home. And even when
4:30
I gave you a hug out there to smell that
4:32
good perfume. I was like, that's
4:34
expensive
4:37
purple. The The finest lady at the
4:39
church.
4:41
>> There you go. No, but I I think you
4:43
smell like hot water cornbread.
4:45
You know what I mean? You know No, but
4:47
definitely no that home. That's all, but
4:49
that's what we are
4:50
>> about. Like um when Sway came to to me
4:53
first and and Tracy and the assistant
4:55
team started to build, Sway was like,
4:57
this platform, my idea is just to
4:59
celebrate folks. I want to celebrate our
5:02
people. Whatever realm they're in. It
5:05
could be you know, athletics, it can be
5:07
the arts. I just want to celebrate our
5:09
people and make them feel good. And I
5:12
automatically signed up for that. But to
5:14
your point is um
5:15
what you said to us, you know, the
5:18
longevity. We didn't think that it would
5:20
you know, be this long and still Now
5:22
people are celebrating us. If you can
5:24
share, um again, thank you for your
5:26
words, but some keys to longevity for
5:28
you because like you said, you didn't
5:30
know this thing grew bigger. It's the
5:32
same way we feel. Like sometimes people
5:34
walk in here and we just start laughing
5:36
cuz we like, bro.
5:38
We We watched you. You know, Arsenio
5:41
Hall was just here. And we couldn't give
5:42
him enough flowers. You know what I
5:44
mean? So,
5:46
what's your take on longevity?
5:47
>> I think it's what y'all just said
5:49
without saying it. Like it was his
5:50
intentions. He wanted to celebrate
5:52
people. And I think that's the that's
5:54
the soul, that's the root of of when
5:56
something grows. And at the end of the
5:58
day, I just want to make us feel good.
6:00
>> Yeah.
6:00
>> I wanted to give us something in the
6:01
entertainment. So, I think whatever you
6:03
start with an an intention, I didn't
6:05
come in this game to make a bunch of
6:06
money. You know, I didn't That wasn't
6:08
the goal, you know. I wanted something.
6:09
I ain't going to lie.
6:10
>> Right. Right.
6:11
>> But I was doing skits for free for
6:13
years. So,
6:15
before the monetization came along. So,
6:17
it's just the intentions. If you want
6:18
longevity, make sure your intentions
6:20
from when you start is is rooted in a
6:23
great soul.
6:24
>> Amen.
6:24
>> And I just wanted to make the people
6:26
feel good. And always I always wanted to
6:28
connect
6:29
the New York and the South.
6:31
>> Yeah.
6:31
>> You know, I always I feel like it'd be a
6:33
disconnection of
6:35
our people sometimes. And we it's not
6:36
enough of us to be separated. So, I
6:38
always when I put stuff out, I'm just
6:40
like I just want to remind us that hey
6:41
man, hey, we all us. And we come
6:44
together, man. And that can't we we
6:46
ain't we ain't we we can't afford to be
6:49
separated. So, when I started my my
6:51
social media, I always had that
6:54
intention. And it over and and people
6:56
start to feel it cuz when I took off,
6:58
people in Detroit, New York, it was like
7:00
everybody was just like, "Dog, Country
7:03
Wayne, he feel like our cousin." So,
7:05
it's like and the South already took it
7:07
in. So, that's what I was about from the
7:09
beginning. And it's showing more and
7:10
more now.
7:11
>> Yeah, more and more now cuz I was
7:13
watching videos since since like 2014,
7:16
right?
7:16
>> Yeah.
7:17
>> When did you first start? What year was
7:19
that?
7:19
>> 2014.
7:19
>> 2014.
7:20
>> funny then. Like I was being funny.
7:22
>> Yeah.
7:22
>> Then I stopped being funny online 2021.
7:25
>> What do you mean stop being funny?
7:27
>> I don't be funny on social media no
7:28
more. I started the soap operas and
7:30
stories.
7:30
>> Oh, yeah. But that's funny. What are you
7:32
talking about? That ain't funny then?
7:34
>> No, no, if you watch my the my stuff
7:36
now,
7:37
it's it's like it's deep.
7:39
>> Okay.
7:40
>> You know what I mean? But I learned
7:41
that's what make money on social media.
7:43
That's what that's what uh
7:44
>> The drama?
7:45
>> Yeah, the drama.
7:47
>> So, people want to see the drama now.
7:48
>> I pivoted while I was hot.
7:50
>> Mhm.
7:50
>> I had a I had a character named Drip
7:52
that just took over social media.
7:54
But I was like, one night something told
7:56
me to Google comedy movies. And I'm
7:58
like, comedy movies don't make as much
8:00
money as people think. The drama movies
8:02
that that make you watch like soap
8:03
operas. Grandma used to watch soap
8:05
operas. So,
8:06
I had a message like, start being
8:08
serious in the skits. So, I went from
8:10
being like, "Hey man, sit down
8:11
somewhere. Hey man, I don't care what
8:12
you talking about." Hey, on everything I
8:13
love. Don't play with me like that. And
8:16
then when I started doing that, the
8:17
engagement went up and the game changed.
8:19
>> I'm about to flip my whole [ __ ]
8:21
>> What you about to do?
8:22
>> I don't know, but I'm I'm going to be
8:23
serious about it. Damn, the game changed
8:26
like that?
8:27
>> changed like that, and I seen it. I hit
8:28
my boy Mike. I said, "You got to stop
8:30
being silly."
8:31
You know,
8:33
cuz that's what worked in my comedy. I
8:34
never was a silly person.
8:35
>> Mhm.
8:36
>> So, I I just I tell what I I I never was
8:40
goofy. I was just
8:41
real.
8:42
>> Mhm.
8:42
>> So, that last that last longer.
8:44
>> Realness last longer. So, what do you
8:46
see now as you saw drama in the
8:49
forefront of comedy? Is there something
8:51
a storm that's coming we should be aware
8:53
of in the digital space?
8:55
>> Yeah, I think the same thing. I think
8:56
that's what that's why they trying
8:58
verticals.
8:59
>> Verticals, the reels, right?
9:00
>> Because I I started at 2020.
9:03
>> Uh-huh.
9:04
>> I'm the first one to have the phone
9:05
straight up and down, and now they're
9:06
starting verticals and they call them
9:08
micro dramas.
9:09
But that's what I've been doing since
9:10
2020.
9:11
>> Mhm.
9:11
>> Uh-huh.
9:12
>> You know, so they even know. Oh, it's
9:14
story. That's why even when old girl was
9:16
telling her story about how her dude
9:18
tricked her so bad and she was talking
9:19
on TikTok. Everybody followed the story.
9:21
That's why they put stories on your
9:23
social media. It's like they want to
9:25
know the next thing and the next thing.
9:26
They want a series.
9:28
>> Like a chapter after chapter, right?
9:30
>> Chapter after chapter, and I've been
9:31
doing it for so long. My story so deep
9:33
on social media
9:35
that those people who following it, they
9:37
know about Amber, they know about
9:39
Anthony, they know about Shayla, they
9:40
know about Iman Shumpert, you know what
9:42
I'm saying? He's in there now. They know
9:44
about me and the women and I I merge my
9:47
real life with the skit, so
9:49
it be hitting real to them cuz like
9:51
Wayne going to talk about this and then
9:52
this will happen and um
9:54
yeah, so it's just and it keeps growing,
9:57
but yeah, that's what social media in
9:58
this digital space about. It's all it's
10:00
all about a storyline for sure.
10:01

11:10
>> My fish wasn't that big.
11:11
>> That's what I could do though. I could
11:12
go out fishing and tell some serious,
11:14
you know, right?
11:15
>> Oh yeah. Y'all was already telling like
11:17
y'all y'all was already telling the
11:19
story though. That's why That's why
11:20
y'all last so long.
11:21
>> Man, there you go, man. Country Wayne is
11:23
here, man. Nostalgia is out on Amazon
11:25
Prime. Tracy in New York, you want to
11:27
chime in?
11:28
>> Yes,
11:28
absolutely. What up, Country Wayne? Um
11:31
>> What's up? What's up, Tracy?
11:32
>> You're saying so much like insightful
11:34
gems that you're giving, especially when
11:35
you're talking about that shift from an
11:38
emphasis on silly comedy to drama,
11:41
because it makes me think that you know,
11:44
a more goofy style of jokes, that's a
11:46
form of escapism, which is necessary.
11:50
And but I think drama, there's something
11:52
confrontational about it. It almost
11:54
creates like a mirror for people to see
11:56
themselves and their loved ones. So,
11:59
kudos to you for for having that
12:01
foresight and for sharing it. When you
12:03
were talking about intentions and you
12:05
mentioned
12:07
um roots that grow in good soil, it made
12:10
me think about health and how you live a
12:13
very clean lifestyle. And yesterday, we
12:17
celebrated Eminem's 18 years of
12:20
sobriety. Which is a hell of a feat.
12:24
>> Go ahead, Marshall. Salute to you, kid.
12:26
>> Yeah, man.
12:26
>> Absolutely. Like, that takes a very
12:29
focused intense level of discipline, you
12:32
know, to climb out of that. For
12:35
yourself, you avoided that pitfall to
12:38
begin with. There was no hole
12:40
>> that you had to to to crawl out of. Um
12:42
if I'm not mistaken, you don't drink,
12:44
you don't do drugs. You'll perform at a
12:46
at a club, but you're not just going to
12:48
go there for the hell of it. Can you
12:49
talk about why that became a principle
12:52
for you early on? And also, what does it
12:55
take to hold onto that principle when
12:59
you're surrounded by an industry where
13:01
excess is almost expected?
13:03
>> Yeah, well, you know, when it came to
13:05
smoking and drinking, I always stayed
13:07
away from that. I never smoked and drank
13:09
because what it did to my family. Like,
13:11
it tore my family down. So, it's like
13:12
and I was really It tore my When I say
13:14
it tore it down, it tore it down. So, I
13:16
stayed away from that. And then, the
13:17
food, when I started my um family kept
13:19
getting cancer and all that, I think
13:20
subconsciously, I just went vegan 2015.
13:24
And then, when I seen the results of it
13:26
what what it was doing and the
13:27
responsibility I had on my family,
13:29
I knew I was the dreamer, so I was the
13:31
head of this dream.
13:32
So, I was like, I got to stay as
13:34
disciplined as I can because my family
13:36
depended on me so much and I started
13:38
seeing the benefits of the clarity of my
13:40
mind and the way I was thinking. So, I
13:42
was really I was like, hold up. I'm
13:44
thinking a little bit more I'm sticking
13:45
with problems longer and stuff like
13:47
that. So, I seen the um
13:48
results of it and I kept going for sure.
13:50
>> Mhm. Your thought process became more
13:52
extensive.
13:53
>> Oh, yeah. That's what I noticed first.
13:55
>> Yeah.
13:55
>> Because I came up with stand-up quick.
13:58
It was like people was telling me it's
13:59
going to take 10 years and I'm like,
14:00
hold up. These jokes
14:02
Like I just dropped my second uh my
14:04
second special. I went out in January
14:06
working on new jokes. I'm ready for the
14:07
third special right now. And they And
14:09
it's supposed to take 2 years.
14:10
>> Uh-huh.
14:11
>> But I'll be noticing like even with them
14:12
skits like I drop 40 skits a day. Even
14:14
when I was doing it by myself I was able
14:15
to do like, nah. I could do like nine
14:17
skits a day or whatever, but
14:18
it was like
14:20
I noticed my mind was clicking different
14:22
and then when I when I seen when I seen
14:23
that, that's what made me keep going. It
14:26
wasn't about no weight and none none of
14:27
that.

22:16
Learn how to cook. Um let me ask you
22:18
this, with so many people that are
22:20
around you that you know,
22:22
when they're not good, how do you tell
22:24
them?
22:24
>> I tell them like you ain't good like
22:26
Some people ask me about comedy. They'd
22:27
be like, "I've been doing comedy 7
22:28
years, man. Like how you get them to
22:30
really laugh?" I'll quit. That's what
22:31
you do.
22:34
Don't give your life to that, man. It's
22:35
like when you good at something, it kind
22:38
of let you know quick and it And
22:39
sometimes, if you get good at it, it
22:42
wasn't worth getting good at because you
22:44
probably still You just work so hard
22:46
that you finally going to get good, but
22:47
it wasn't worth the time and stuff you
22:49
missed to get good. When I started
22:51
comedy, man, it was just
22:53
it was just so natural. It never felt
22:55
That's why when social media came, I was
22:57
so confident that I was going to blow up
22:59
doing comedy cuz I was rapping at first.
23:01
When people started doing comedy, I was
23:02
like, oh, I'm going to tear this up. I
23:03
started September
23:05
October 14th, I went viral October 2014.
23:08
I've been on ever since because
23:10
you know when you good at something.
23:11
That's why there's not enough pilots and
23:14
doctors and everything cuz everybody
23:15
ain't told everything. Like if my kids
23:17
ain't good at something, hey, uh-uh.

brother.
25:55
You know what I'm saying I'm 38 I'm old
25:57
enough to be some people daddy and I'm
25:58
some people cousin. I'm just keeping it
26:00
real because women
26:01
women don't keep it real with us. That's
26:03
why men be slacking. You know what I'm
26:04
saying? They stroke cuz they know if
26:05
they keep it real with us it's going to
26:06
hurt our feelings but it's some women
26:08
out there they going to keep it real
26:09
like hey man buddy you need to step it
26:11
up too. You know what I'm saying? You
26:12
can't be out there cheating and all that
26:14
especially for me to cook for you. You
26:16
know what I'm saying? I understand that
26:17
too.
26:18
But if I'm giving you $20,000 a month
26:20
hey I'm a play.
26:26
>> One fish.
26:27
>> I think everybody agree to that though.
26:29
>> Yeah no
26:29
man [ __ ] I damn I damn near wish I had a
26:32
BABY WITH YOU.
26:35
>> OH MY GOSH.
26:37
I SAW SWAY.
26:40
Tell me about the technology later.
26:42
>> Yeah later down the line. But what what
26:45
happens? What do you who like do you
26:47
believe do you think everybody would
26:49
still stick with you if for some reason
26:52
you know, the money got put on pause?
26:54
>> I I I don't think they can.
26:56
The way bills are set up and life is set
26:58
up, even if they want to stick with you,
26:59
people can't stick with you.
27:00
>> Okay.
27:00
>> It's like a job. If they run out of
27:03
checks, nobody going to sit there
27:04
outside the building. You know what I
27:06
mean? Now, they probably do love me.
27:07
Like,
27:08
give credit to the mothers of my kids.
27:10
Now, they was with me when I was in the
27:11
streets. Like, shout out to
27:12
Quick was with with with me when I was
27:14
in high school. She was my high school
27:15
sweetheart. Uh Gina, man, I was selling
27:18
dope out of her apartment. You know what
27:19
I'm saying? Gina used to give me my
27:20
income tax money to flip. You know what
27:22
I mean?
27:22
>> Damn.
27:23
>> So, it's like, of course they would if
27:25
they could, but man, the way life and
27:27
bills are set up,
27:29
ain't nobody sticking around. It's hard
27:31
to stick around when no money ain't
27:32
around.
27:33
>> Yeah.
27:33
>> And that just common sense. It ain't
27:34
about, "Oh, they just there for the
27:36
money." I'd rather for them to be there
27:37
for the
27:38
uh
27:38
there for the money cuz I'd rather give
27:40
you money than my energy.
27:42
>> Wait a minute.
27:44
>> Oh, [ __ ]
27:44
>> My I I value my energy so much. I think
27:46
people
27:47
would meet and be like, "Man, you you
27:49
They be calling me a trick." I'm like,
27:51
"These my baby mamas. What you You you
27:53
stupid?"
27:54
>> Yeah.
27:54
>> These They got my kids. Now, at the end
27:55
of the day, I talk junk about them, but
27:57
man, they are
27:58
they with my kids, picking the kids up
28:00
from school, listening to the kids. Uh
28:02
these kids nasty, man. These kids
28:04
coughing all the damn time. They just
28:06
sick, man.
28:08
You know, these baby mamas putting up
28:09
with some stuff with these kids. So, at
28:10
the end of the day,
28:12
they'd be like, "Oh, I wouldn't do
28:13
that." But you taking a girl, you
28:15
spending time, got to listen to her on
28:16
the phone for 4 hours.
28:17
>> Yeah.
28:18
>> Yeah.
28:18
>> Bro, you ain't valuing your energy. So,
28:20
you value money so much, money ain't
28:21
nothing.
28:22
>> Mhm.
28:22
>> Cuz you got to use your energy to get
28:24
money. So, what I do, I ain't nobody I
28:26
can talk on the phone 4 hours to.
28:28
Cuz they know I'm private business. And
28:29
I If they get 2 minutes of If we talking
28:31
on the phone a hour, you know,
28:33
uh that's a long time. That's an
28:35
intimate conversation. But he doing all
28:36
the other stuff, he got to go around.
28:38
>> Mhm.
28:39
>> You know, I know a dude, man, cooked for
28:40

28:47
THAT. I'm like, "BRO, THAT GIRL NEEDS
28:49
some money, man." I said, "She going to
28:51
leave you, bro." You know what I'm
28:52
saying? I'm telling you.
28:53
I said, "Go tell her I'm just going to

28:57
every month. Tell her I'm going to pay
28:59
this your your house note every month."

29:05
if you don't and commit to some of them
29:07
bills, you going to have to do something
29:09
every time." Gifts. I don't have to give
29:10

>> They already know they getting so much
29:15
money they scared. They all feel like,
29:18
"Dog, we getting too much."
29:20
You know what I'm saying? Like this real
29:20
stuff. Like my baby mama, you talking
29:21
about
29:22
one of them girls touched a half a
29:24
million dollars a piece.
29:26
Two of them. You know what I'm saying?
29:28
>> Yeah. Yeah.
29:28
>> In one year.
29:29
>> Oh, man.
29:30
>> All from me. You know what I'm saying?
29:31
So you So they I ain't giving no
29:33
Christmas. I don't celebrate no
29:34
holidays.
29:36
>> Country Wayne, come on, man. This is my
29:39
new spirit
29:40
>> out.
29:43
God didn't give you money, he gave you
29:44
energy. So value energy more than your
29:46
money and cuz some people ain't giving
29:48
away money, they giving away energy. And
29:50
really you supposed to be giving your
29:51
energy to your kids and your family, but
29:53
some people giving their energy to
29:54
women. I don't give them My kids and my
29:55
family get most of my energy. You know
29:57
what I'm saying? So at the end of the
29:58
day I give you know, money ain't, you
30:00
know, if you if you value your energy,
30:03
you going to get you some money anyway.
30:04
Yeah. Money Money Money going to be
30:06
money, but your energy? You mess around
30:08

30:10
You ever seen people love somebody so
30:11
much and now they always sick? They
30:13
don't even know I got chronic headaches.
30:15
Because you giving away your energy that
30:17
you supposed to use to heal your body.
30:18
You don't know energy heals your body,
30:20
helps you come up with ideals. Energy
30:23

30:25
God.

30:29
He put something in you. But people are
30:32
giving away that to get worldly things.
30:35
And I'm like, "No, bro. I'd rather get
30:36

30:38
than give my energy."
30:38

>> yeah. A lot of men feel like that
30:59
though, man.
30:59
>> yeah, yeah.
31:00

31:01
Now, a lot of men be mad because I put
31:03
out that you supposed to give the
31:05
take care of the women. They be like,
31:06
"Man, he's simping." Because man, I'm
31:08
like, "Well, you just want some coochie
31:09
for free, man." And to be honest,
31:11
that ain't Hey, man. Anything that feel
31:14
that good, I'm telling you.
31:16
If you did get away and ain't help her
31:18
out, you cursed and you don't know it.
31:20
That's why your look bad. Your tire
31:22
going flat for no reason. You don't even
31:23
know why your
31:24
your tire lights staying on your car.
31:27
A woman energy is so good that if you
31:30
think it's for free, that's what got you
31:33
down.
31:33
>> That's what got you down. That's prison.
31:36
>> I know for me to be on social media the
31:38
way I do everything I touch do I know
31:39
it's the prayers of these women. It's
31:41
the prayers of my baby mama's. You know
31:43
what I'm saying? And my sisters. It's a
31:45
lot of women who pray for me even if
31:46
they hate me because they know don't
31:48
matter what, the one thing I've been
31:49
consistent with them, I got they back.
31:52
And I know there's a woman's prayer.
31:53
That's why my first special was named A
31:54
Woman's Prayer.
31:56
Men don't know if if you taking care of
31:58
woman and her bills straight, she going
32:00
to pray for you. She might even go give
32:01
old boy some of that la la
32:03
>> Yeah.
32:03
>> but her prayer is going to you. I pray
32:05
her prayer is going for you. Round of
32:07
applause.
32:08
>> Do you um value you think being a father
32:11
more than you value becoming a husband
32:13
one day?
32:14
>> Yeah, I value uh I value being a father
32:17
over husband for sure.
32:18
>> Why is that?
32:19
>> Because I think I put myself in a
32:21
position where it's harder for me to be
32:23
a husband
32:25
uh because this position I put myself in
32:28
with all these kids cuz I'm going to put
32:29
them first every time. Like I'm going to
32:31
sell out, man. My woman be like, "We
32:32

32:53
and all 10 of mine I'm I'm I'm putting
32:55
them first every time. Ain't no woman
32:57
come before that. And I know most women
32:58
that's not fair to them. You know what I
33:00
mean?
33:01
>> Yeah.
33:01
>> Because I'm not I don't I'm I'm just
33:04
being real. I'mma put them first for the
33:06
rest of their life. You know what I'm
33:07
saying?
33:08
So
33:09
>> He honest.
33:09
>> Nothing wrong with that, though.
33:11
>> You got a daughter named Kiyomi?
33:12

33:13
man. I got Kiyomi my
33:15

33:18
>> That's my daughter's name.
33:19
>> Oh, yeah? Like what's up?
33:20
>> I told you this.
33:21
>> You had a baby with with Country Wayne
33:22
anyway, so
33:26
See?
33:29
>> That's crazy.
33:29
>> Hell.
33:31
>> Hey, they Hey, they go somebody go clip
33:32
that and take the SW off and just put a
33:34
G, YOU KNOW WHAT
33:38
>> WOW.
33:39
>> I
33:39
DON'T KNOW WHY
33:41
>> THEY GO CLIP THEY GO CLIP THAT. YOU KNOW
33:42
HOW they clip it. But
33:43
when you a real G, you don't care about
33:44
people saying
33:45
>> Nah, I don't care about that, man. We've
33:46
been around too long.
33:48
>> Shout out my 10 kids, though, man. I
33:49
love them with all my heart and I and I
33:51
truly believe that's really why I'm well
33:52
met cuz they push me for real.
33:54
>> They push you for where? A woman's
33:55
prayer.
33:56
>> But I think though a lot of women or
33:58
people going to relationships not
34:00
understanding that. Like to me, if I
34:02
would I didn't date a man with kids, so
34:04
I don't know, you know, but
34:07
if that man had enough time for me and
34:09
wasn't spending time with his kids, I
34:11
would look at him way different. You
34:13
know what I mean? Like
34:15
Yeah, how you got so much time to hang
34:17
out with me and you got kids? Like
34:18
especially your weekends shouldn't be
34:21
for us. You should be with your kids and
34:23
vice versa. You should look at that in a
34:24
person. And I think a lot of people
34:26
don't understand that, you know? I don't
34:28
be dealing with baby mothers I don't But
34:30
you seeing somebody with kids. Like you
34:32
got to understand that going into the
34:34
relationship.
34:35
>> Yeah.
34:35
>> If you choose to go that route. You
34:37
know, I didn't you know I
34:39
I didn't have any kids so I didn't want
34:40
to date anybody with kids cuz I know
34:42
>> Yeah.
34:43
That is hard. I don't want to put no
34:45
woman in that position unless she
34:46
already because my baby mama's got keys
34:49
in my house cuz all my kids I moved them
34:51
in one house almost all of them and I
34:53
needed them to come take them to school
34:55
and stuff.
34:55
>> Right.
34:56
>> So they got keys to my house. They got
34:57
to come over there and take a nap.
34:58
Honest might want um her mama to stay
35:01
over there. Mama, can you stay over here
35:02
with me tonight?
35:03
>> Mhm.
35:03
>> Do my hair. Do whatever.
35:05
>> Yeah. So it's like man, I got a big
35:08
happy crazy family, you know what I'm
35:09
saying? So it's like
35:11
at the end of the day man, my situation
35:13
a little different. But you know every
35:15
every woman say uh
35:17
They act like they don't see that but
35:18
they think they're going to change me.
35:19
And I'm just I'm being honest up front,
35:20
bro. I'm going to put no I'm going to
35:21
put my kids first. Cuz I got eight
35:23
daughters.
35:24
>> Oh, yeah.
35:24
>> And at the end of the day man, I know
35:26
how God work. At the end of the day it's
35:28
what I want to do. It ain't even nothing
35:29
that I'm trying to do to get Man, I just
35:32
naturally like man, I'm putting them
35:34
first. I don't see it no other way.
35:35
>> Yeah.
35:35
>> And if you got kids
35:37
I'm going to do the same thing for your
35:38
kids. Like when women when I talk to a
35:40
woman with kids, I take them in.
35:41
>> Mhm.
35:42
>> Like come to my world. You know what I'm
35:43
saying? But I'm not moving to where
35:44
you're at. Now that's what that's been
35:46
the problem with my relationship.
35:48
I'm moving. Nah, you better move to
35:50

35:52
bring them bring them bring them two one
35:54
one two kids over here.
35:56
>> Yeah. Man, I love man. Give this dude a
35:58
round of applause, man. You outstanding
36:00
with that, brother. I love that.
36:02
>> Just like we just like that.
36:04
>> Um
36:05
>> You going to have you have to meet nine
36:06
more.
36:07
>> Yeah, I got one.
36:08
>> Your kids have you out though. You been
36:10
in a relationship, you ready to break
36:11
up. Hey man, you know what, man?
36:14
MY KIDS, MAN.
36:17
>> THAT'S THE ESCAPE GOAT.
36:19
>> IT AIN'T YOU. IT ain't me. It's the
36:22

36:50
after fame kids.
36:52
>> Okay, you ain't got a after fame kids.
36:54

36:59
After fame kids? I didn't even know that
37:01
was a thing.
37:02
>> Like my kids, they they they you know
37:04
Tony didn't was in the projects. Yeah.
37:06
So it's like they never feel they don't
37:07
feel the fame. So they real regular.
37:11
Like we still like when you got them
37:13
BABY MAMAS WHO
37:17
BOY, THAT'S A DIFFERENT BALLGAME.
37:20
>> THE after fame kids.
37:21
>> Like I see my kid in private school they
37:23
all left. They was depressed. Only
37:24
person say they was honest.
37:26
Only thing Keomi they the only ones I
37:28
had where things was legally straight,
37:29
you know what I'm saying? I had Honest
37:31
2018 so that's when I was legit. That's
37:34
why I named her Honest cuz she the first
37:35
child I had that I wasn't selling dope
37:37
and that. You know what I'm saying?
37:38
I was Country Wayne comedian then I had
37:40
Keomi. So they're a little different but
37:42
I ain't got none of them type of baby
37:43
mamas. All my baby mamas grounded and
37:45
they walk in here right now they still
37:47
talk hey over there, you know what I'm
37:48
saying? We country. And I got one in
37:50
Kansas City but they they're not like
37:53
the the famous baby mamas. They not
37:56
trying to be in the light.
37:57
>> Okay.
37:58
>> Like that like my baby mama, you know,
37:59
I'm cuz I I don't let them be like that
38:00
like I get a house. I say y'all want a
38:03
Birkin bag but most of you girls with a
38:04
Birkin bag don't even have a mortgage,
38:06
you know what I'm saying?
38:07
Let me buy you a house. I made them do
38:08
other stuff that don't get seen. But my
38:11
baby mamas grounded. But when you got
38:12
them other baby mamas that know about
38:15
fame and don't talk to this lawyer and
38:16
don't talk to that person and got this
38:18
friend that do that, man, that's a
38:19
different situation, man. I PRAY FOR
38:21
NICK.
38:25
THEY DO SEE
38:27
THEY GOT TWO
38:28
THEY GOT TOO MUCH SENSE.
38:30
>> I don't know. Mariah Carey's on that
38:31
list. I mean, he's got a point. Mariah
38:34
Carey is just married to him and they
38:35
got two kids.
38:36
>> Man, them them after fame kids, man.
38:38
Like right now, if I
38:39
if I had a
38:41
But see, I don't be joking with the
38:42
famous people like that, though.
38:43
>> Yeah.
38:43
>> I'm not in them circles. Everybody's
38:45
kind of know that I'm out here joking
38:46
and they only and they only mention my
38:48
name now. The people built me.
38:51
The people built me and people like
38:52
y'all who just real.
38:54
>> Mhm.
38:54
>> Everybody was watching me and then now
38:56
the the only reason that world is
38:58
mentioning me because of the paper.
38:59
>> Mhm.
39:00
>> Because they feel like we supposed to
39:02
know you
39:02
>> Mhm.
39:03
>> when you getting this much paper. I'm
39:04
like, the game ain't like that no more.
39:06
The internet out here. It's like
39:08
you used to have to do that to get the
39:09
people. If I got the people and I'm a
39:12
real life dope boy. So
39:14
in the dope game, I'm traumatized. You
39:16
had to get money and hide a little bit.
39:18
>> Yeah.
39:18
>> And you had a product that you couldn't
39:20
promote to the world, but still had to
39:22
promote it just enough to sell it. So as
39:24
long as I got some paper, I'm good. All
39:26
that fame, all them parties and all them
39:28
connections. I'm like, if I'm connected
39:29
with God, bro, and he got me this far,
39:32
he ain't get me this far to be like,
39:33
"Okay, now you need them."
39:34
>> Mhm.
39:35
>> I won't get into that. You won't see me
39:36
with all that, bro. I probably I don't
39:38
wear this outfit five times.
39:39
>> I was going to say.
39:41
I didn't see it before. I didn't want to
39:42
say nothing, but you look good today,
39:44
too, bro.
39:45
>> You look good every time you wear it.
39:47
>> I get Hey. Hey. I wear my Hey. I'm get
39:49
my my mother's wear my outfits. I'm not
39:52
into the celebrity stuff
39:54
>> Mhm.
39:54
>> like everybody is cuz I know at the end
39:55
of the day, man, ain't nobody We ain't
39:57
nobody God. We all on a equal We all on
40:00
a even playing field. And I think when
40:02
you're a celebrity, you just got a
40:03
responsibility. And some people forget
40:05
what our responsibility is. We supposed
40:06
to use our celebrity to find our way to
40:10
get people to go to God.
40:11
>> God.
40:12
>> And I screamed Jesus before I got here.
40:13
So there's a lot of people who don't
40:14
believe in Jesus, but they're looking at
40:16
me to be like, "Man, he might be real."
40:18
Cuz they watch me come up in they face.
40:20
So, at the end of the day, I'm just
40:22
trying to be, you know what I mean, the
40:24
best me I could be, but I ain't into all
40:25
that. The celebrity man, too many of the
40:28
celebrity girls, like, ah.
40:30
Yeah, they ain't, you know, I don't want
40:32
to go there.
40:33
Don't take me
40:34
>> Don't take you there.
40:35
>> They ain't got nothing to eat here.
40:36
>> There it is. They ain't cooking. You
40:38
know they not cooking either.
40:39
>> care about no goddamn Don Julio and uh

44:43
realest from a chest is from a heart is
44:44
from the beating. And everybody know who
