okay this is a full circle moment right
0:01

0:03
i think maybe the monster was one of the
0:05
the first times i really became aware of
0:07
this
0:08
this singer producer performer
0:12
host daughter uh vanguard
0:15
visionary role model she's all of those
0:19
things and i learned more and more about
0:20
her
0:21
um after 2016 when we shared a special
0:24
moment and she hosted the ema's and i
0:26
hosted the red carpet
0:28
and i was like just totally blown away
0:30
by how huge this star
0:32
is but how down the earth she is at the
0:35
same time
0:36
so i'm happy to celebrate her new
0:37
project better mistakes bb rexa
0:40
hey hey okay sway that was amazing so
0:43
wait listen i'm going to call you every
0:44
day when i wake up
0:45
okay and you're going to just tell me
0:47
that i'm not feeling good like on a day
0:49
when i'm not feeling i'm going to call
0:50
you and you're going to just say that
0:51
to say that to me i'm going to and then
0:53
i can start my day because that was an
0:54
amazing intro
0:55
thank you so much no you know it's
0:58
interesting we're gonna have this
0:59
conversation but we're gonna keep it
1:01
conversation because i learned
1:02
i learned more about you after i met you
1:05
i learned about you when i studied you
1:07
you know and i knew we were gonna talk
1:09
and we would do interviews i wanted to
1:10
make sure i was aware of your whole
1:12
story but
1:13
being around you being around your
1:14
family seeing how you remain the same
1:17
person through all of your different
1:18
levels of success
1:20
that told me something else about bebe
1:22
rexha
1:23
you know that you know who she is when
1:26
she's not behind the mic
1:27
when she's not pinning these songs
1:29
pouring out her feelings and emotions
1:32
uh for the world to absorb who is she
1:35
and so
1:35
and i thought what was indicative of
1:38
that
1:38
was just even thinking about you today
1:41
having this conversation and just
1:43
following you
1:43
on social media and seeing the hashtag
1:46
everybody is beautiful
1:49
and i was like i was like yo that's bibi
1:51
i told i told my
1:53
co-worker kelly i said that's bibi
1:54
everybody is beautiful and look at her
1:56
man she's standing in that one piece
1:58
leotard and she's
2:00
you know she's giving us all of her
2:02
giving us all the bb and saying man post
2:05
was real
2:06
i want y'all to post what's real what
2:08
what did that happen all of a sudden
2:10
like what inspired that
2:12
everybody is beautiful hashtag i think i
2:15
think it's um
2:17
uh by the way i want to say something
2:18
about uh you saying that um
2:20
that i'm more than anything more than
2:23
hits or
2:24
or charts what you said about me not
2:27
changing that
2:28
is actually that is actually the
2:30
proudest thing that i could hear
2:33
as a human for me that's like something
2:35
that i i love so thank you i appreciate
2:37
that
2:38
like that means everything to me um i
2:41
think
2:41
that uh i totally forgot the question
2:44
well every everybody is beautiful you
2:46
you went out on a limb when you posted
2:48
your own body for the world to see
2:50
yeah um you know what i've struggled
2:53
with
2:54
uh loving my body and i remember um
2:57
just being on red carpets and being
2:58
around people and always feeling so
3:00
insecure
3:01
um and i remember when i was young i was
3:03
like maybe like 14 i don't know i
3:05
remember when i started growing and i
3:06
got stretch marks on the side of my
3:08
my thing and and i was like oh no i got
3:10
stretch marks why is it because i'm
3:12
because i was told stretch marks happen
3:13
when you're because you get fat or
3:15
something and
3:16
really it's when you grow so i was
3:18
always insecure about that
3:19
and then i don't know i wasn't i was in
3:20
my yammy i had to do the wrestlemania
3:22
thing and i said
3:24
i know i haven't really been working out
3:25
lately and i'm you know i got the
3:26
cellulite but
3:27
i feel like i look good i know i don't
3:29
like fit the model
3:31
uh thing but i i think it's i think i
3:33
wanted to post that because
3:34
i as a human i kind of feel like i
3:37
struggle with like i want to be
3:38
perfect and look perfect and look
3:41
photoshopped
3:42
and perfection but then i struggle with
3:44
being like i just want to be me
3:46
and i and it's really i can't live my
3:48
life forever
3:50
like trying to be that person and i feel
3:52
like there's a lot of people that
3:55
that we have in front of us that um
4:00
kind of skew that you know and like what
4:02
is perfection just being in the industry
4:04
and just knowing how people talk
4:05
and i don't judge like like if you want
4:08
to get lipo and do your thing and your
4:10
lips and filler and botox yeah like we
4:12
all love botox right
4:14
but um to me it's like
4:18
i guess for me it's like i like to be
4:22
as natural and accepting of myself the
4:24
way that i am but then i'm
4:26
not to say that i don't ever like have
4:27
kids one day and get my boobs done
4:29
because they're sagging i don't know i
4:30
don't know what i'm gonna do
4:31
but i think for me it's like just the
4:34
struggles of trying to look a certain
4:35
way and feeling like
4:36
i i can reach that level or acceptance
4:40
of but that bathing suit picture that
4:41
you actually are talking about
4:43
there was a lot of love on my instagram
4:45
page but then there was other articles
4:46
that had posted it
4:48
um in other countries and a lot of the
4:50
comments were like
4:52
in other languages calling me a cow are
4:54
you
4:55
serious yeah literally said cow cow cow
4:57
cow cow like all cow
4:59
yeah they were calling me a cow which
5:01
i'm like what like i know
5:03
yeah they call me a cow i couldn't
5:04
believe it yeah that's um
5:07
yeah see and that's the kind of honestly
5:10
it was my own it was actually for my own
5:12
culture which was heartbreaking for me
5:14
because i feel like yeah that's just
5:17
always been something i struggle with so
5:18
when you see people calling you a cow
5:20
that was kind of like like that was a
5:23
hard day for me
5:24
like you know whatever and my comment is
5:27
this
5:28
you look great i thought you looked
5:31
awesome
5:32
i thought you know i thought you looked
5:34
happy i thought you looked
5:36
uh confident i was i was in the vibe i
5:38
was at the pool miami the lighting was
5:40
actually good
5:40
come on the lighting was popping let's
5:43
let's talk about the lighting
5:44
i smoothed out all the little areas and
5:46
the legs i was like okay
5:48
i was like let's do a video but that's
5:51
why i think
5:52
it's important you did that because you
5:53
know what bb there are plenty of
5:55
cultures around the world where
5:56
if you're a regular-sized human being uh
5:59
they love it they embrace it it's folks
6:00
who
6:01
there's places around the world
6:02
especially in africa if someone was
6:04
um plus size they embraced that more so
6:07
than they do someone who's small
6:09
all of that stuff really shouldn't even
6:12
matter to me what matters is what's in
6:13
within yourself
6:15
and i could just see from the response
6:16
that you were getting from your fans
6:18
that that was resonating with them
6:20
because then i saw you post pictures of
6:22
other fans and their
6:23
babies and i thought that was like yo
6:26
this is the kind of messaging
6:28
that i think really services our
6:30
audience someone like you is you gotta
6:32
you're in a music you're in a business
6:34
with that perpetuates
6:35
all of this imaging so it could be
6:37
conflicting but for someone like you to
6:39
step out and go
6:40
hey man be happy with who you are
6:43
yeah and let's just rock with it i think
6:45
that i feel like i look good like
6:48
you look great yeah like i i you know
6:50
but when we when you compare
6:52
to what i am and how i'm being seen like
6:55
the media that i'm in entertainment
6:56
industry
6:57
like i think people are used to seeing a
6:58
certain like perfection it's like
7:01
man i'm i'm tired of like i can't i'm
7:04
sorry i like
7:04
i like to have my pizza i like to have
7:06
my fries once in a while
7:08
i'm not doing the you know like if you
7:10
want to do that
7:11
i'm just yeah i just i'm yeah you know
7:14
what i'm gonna say i know i know what
7:15
you're saying but that's why i'm so
7:17
eager to get into better mistakes you
7:20
know what i mean because
7:22
there is no perfection but man i was
7:24

they saw that yeah yeah i have no idea
9:13
i mean i watched like when i was younger
9:15
the rock can you smell the
9:16
rockers i can't do that but um you know
9:20
i didn't i didn't know it was so
9:22
big because uh they were like oh yeah
9:23
the wwe wants you to
9:25
like i know wrestlemania and i used to
9:27
watch it when i was younger
9:28
um and i'm a fan of some of the people
9:30
now but i didn't know it was so
9:34
so like i knew it was big but i didn't
9:35
know how big it was i was like holy moly
9:38
like
9:39
they were telling me the numbers and the
9:40
people and that's crazy i was like wow
9:43
yeah that's like super bowl numbers bb
9:45
but it's right up your alley
9:47
numbers actually yeah it's it's huge
9:50
um i want to talk about some of the
9:52
music and some of the visuals i've seen
9:54
in the music but
9:55
first i want to talk about just you know
9:58
expectations was a great project
10:00
uh you you got a lot of bangers off of
10:02
expectations
10:04
you know i love the song with quavo two
10:06
two souls on fire i like the um
10:08
florida georgia line meant to be that
10:10
was a huge song completely different
10:12
style
10:13
two different stuff but but see that's
10:15
what i you know
10:16
like when you go through your
10:17
discography and see even the songs
10:19
you've written for people
10:21
as well as the songs you're on i think
10:23
that's
10:24
that's what makes you an enigma you know
10:26
what i mean in a sense that you could
10:27
fit
10:28
in a lot of different arenas i feel the
10:30
same way about dozier
10:32
cat oh she's so fire you know
10:35
she she's incredible and you and her
10:37
collaborate how did that happen
10:39
um i well we have similar management but
10:42
i wanted to get on the song that she
10:44
actually really liked on the album
10:46
and i sent her baby i'm jealous and i
10:48
wasn't expecting it but
10:50
uh she loved it and she just jumped on
10:52
it and i was like okay and when i heard
10:54
reverse i was like wow
10:55
um and yeah like we just started i i
10:59
didn't know what to expect when i met
11:00
her like i didn't know what to expect
11:02
um and uh what i found is
11:06
number one she is so chill like not one
11:09
ounce of a diva like she's just like a
11:12
to me it's like she's just like a normal
11:14
girl like she likes playing video games
11:16
she's like love really low-key doesn't
11:17
want to go out
11:19
but she works so hard like she'll be on
11:21
set
11:22
so long not complain once no diva vibes
11:26
just so talented so hard working and i'm
11:28
like that girl is gonna
11:30
like i know we know she's blown up but
11:32
that girl is gonna like
11:34
be around for a long time a
11:37
long time and um it was just nice
11:40
working with another female
11:41
it's like kind of like i like that
11:43
energy kind of missed it you know
11:45
because i did it with nikki back in the
11:46
day
11:47
and i wish i would have more i want to
11:49
try to get more female collaborations
11:51
and um try to get more people
11:54
came up sorry trying to get some did
11:57
like 10 interviews today but
11:58
uh trying to get some more female
11:59
collaborations into the books because
12:01
i'm like i really love doing it
12:03
it's fun and it's like different energy
12:05
you know
12:06
but for a reason i always find myself
12:08
like working with the guys i don't know
12:10
because i always feel like one of the
12:11
boys you know
12:12
um especially when i was working with
12:13
cuevo or whatever it's
12:15
one thing i love about being in a
12:17
session with hip-hop artists is that
12:19
um when i first started writing like i
12:22
started in new york city so
12:24
um the only the only producers that are
12:26
really available to me to work with and
12:28
collaborate with that i could find like
12:29
through myspace and stuff sorry i know
12:31
that
12:31
dates me but the internet are you still
12:34
using myspace
12:36
no no come on
12:39
um i think i the one thing that i could
12:41
only the only type of producers i could
12:43
really find
12:44
were hip-hop producers and i found a
12:46
hip-hop producer from
12:47
france and then i was working with uh
12:50
omen
12:52
who was doing like a lot of ludicrous
12:53
stuff back in the day and like was
12:54
playing around with drake's producers
12:56
and then just like this guy frequency
12:59
and just like
13:00
the only people i could really get in
13:01
touch with were all the hip-hop guys
13:03
because the pop guys at the time were
13:05
only doing like katie
13:07
and um rihanna and when they're at that
13:10
high level and there was only a couple
13:12
of them in new york because a lot of
13:13
them had you know
13:14
um it was like the stargates and you
13:17
know
13:17
the benny blanco like you you could only
13:19
like get a car
13:21
you know is it is it territorial like if
13:23
they're working with you they won't work
13:25
with someone else for that
13:26
they would they would but at the time at
13:28
the time though you had to be at a
13:30
certain level to get in with them and i
13:31
had nothing i was just
13:33
you know trying to get into the industry
13:35
unless you were signed and had a major
13:36
record deal like it was more the
13:38
old-fashioned way where they would like
13:39
pay the producers to like get in with
13:40
you
13:41
like unless you had a major record deal
13:44
um or like had you know obviously we're
13:46
a superstar already at the time they
13:47
wouldn't really it's not how it is today
13:49
that you have like a song on spotify
13:50
that blows up or they like something
13:52
you're doing that's out
13:53
back then it was harder because you
13:54
would have to have a major record label
13:56
put your song on the radio it's not how
13:57
it is today where you could just put
13:58
something out and it blows up
14:00
so the only people i could really get in
14:01
touch with the hip-hop guys so i was
14:03
used to doing more of the hip-hop
14:04
sessions because my thing was saying you
14:06
know what i'll get in with the hip-hop
14:07
guys because i just need to get some
14:08
type of music together
14:09
maybe i can have them do more pop style
14:11
songs or maybe i'll put pop
14:13
songs on you their beats way to like
14:16
make it work
14:17
um and uh yes i was always
14:21
yeah so to me it's like um i'm used to
14:24
that energy in the studio
14:26
uh i wasn't really used to like the pop
14:29
sessions that
14:30
start at like twelve o'clock twelve to
14:31
two and then wrap at eight
14:33
in l.a like very like you know
14:36
i was more used to like just you know
14:38
show up to the studio whenever in
14:40
in on 125th street and you know we would
14:43
hang there
14:44
all day and then whenever we wrapped up
14:46
it could be like twelve one two
14:47
three like we just wrapped up whenever
14:49
we had something amazing
14:50
um or did it so uh the one thing i love
14:53
you know writing with hip-hop artists is
14:55
that it's more of like a vibe in the
14:56
studio um
14:58
it's just like a hang um and that's what
15:00
i really
15:01
like connected to like working with
15:02
puevo or like thai
15:05
ty is so tight dollar sign man
15:09
he'll show up like so late but
15:12
no but i love him but like working with
15:14
him though is so amazing it's just like
15:16
i love that energy you know
15:18
you show up late but he knocked down
15:20
songs like it ain't nothing
15:21
come on it's like
15:25
even with like when quavo was in the
15:27
studio i was like what the
15:28
hell how laughs like pop songs you know
15:32
we sit there and we're like writing them
15:33
in our journals
15:34
tweaking the chords he'll be like hold
15:37
on one second and then go into the booth
15:39
and then just like like laying down line
15:41
by line by line and i'm like i kind of
15:43
feel like
15:44
i suck like because i work a different
15:46
way but i've learned from the
15:48
i've kind of been a little messed up now
15:49
they kind of like messed with me because
15:51
now when i go in the studio i want to
15:52
just go right in the booth and lay
15:54
lay melodies down and that's not how
15:56
they do it in pop music
15:57
so um but it's different every time so
16:00
but um
16:00
yeah it's kind of amazing how it works
16:03
and how different people write it's
16:04
incredible
16:05
what i like about hip-hop music is that
16:07
it's about feeling pop is school
16:09
but hip-hop music is about the feeling
16:11
and the moment and the take
16:13
like if they're singing something like
16:17
they're keeping that take you know even
16:19
if you don't understand what the hell
16:20
they're saying
16:20
they gonna keep it but it's about the
16:22
vibe and that's what i love about music
16:24
to me i'm
16:24
about the melody and the feeling i think
16:26
that's the most important thing but
16:27
sorry i
16:28
went off tangentially no no no no no i
16:29
love it because i mean when you look at
16:31
your
16:32
little uzi vert you know
16:36
another one that i was like with uzi
16:38
like i
16:39
you know i know uzi and i've been a fan
16:41
of him but like you know
16:43
you don't know what to expect you know
16:44
when guys because you know i met people
16:47
before that are divas met people before
16:48
that
16:49
you know so like when i met uzi like
16:52
he was he is so i don't think people
16:54
really know how really intelligent he is
16:57
how smart he is he is a smart guy
17:00
he is we'll make you say that what did
17:02
he say something or do something that
17:03
made you go oh okay
17:04
i get it when he's when he
17:08
you know because you see him when he
17:09
comes in the room he's got his body
17:11
guards and you know his whole team
17:13
and you you think you know like you you
17:14
know we have this like thought of like
17:16
a rapper like not only wanted to talk to
17:18
you you know like being to themselves
17:20
kind of walking in the room doing their
17:21
thing get out
17:22
and when he just spoke he was so i know
17:25
what's funny to say about losing
17:26
so eloquent like so well thought out
17:30
so smart um
17:33
yeah you know just like the way that he
17:35
like and he also like you know i kind of
17:37
didn't want i was trying to we were
17:38
shooting a music video i was trying to
17:39
be a little bit like respectful of his
17:41
time
17:42
okay and i was kind of like i want to i
17:44
don't i kind of want to do that take
17:45
again
17:46
he's like he's like go do the take again
17:48
he's like dude how you want he's like
17:49
because the director's telling you
17:50
he's like you don't want that he's like
17:52
you want to do it this way right i was
17:53
like yeah he's like i'm going to
17:54
be here go do it how you want it do it
17:56
again and i was like
17:58
yo he's like you got to be happy with it
18:00
i was like
18:02
like he was so yeah it was just it's
18:04
such a pleasure working with him
18:06
wow so little uzi was like assistant
18:08
director
18:12
but died for a man
18:16
i think that's awesome because i i i
18:18
wonder
18:20
like what they walk away with like how
18:22
any of the rappers like rick ross or uzi
18:24
or cueva
18:24
went you know what i learned this from
18:27
being in a session with you
18:29
yeah i mean i wish that i would you know
18:31
i i i know what i want in a session you
18:33
know and i know what i like and i'm very
18:35
like
18:35
on point um but i do
18:39
the only thing that i that i learned
18:40
from the guys one thing that i actually
18:42
learned from the guys is their
18:43
confidence
18:44
i love them confidence and i think as a
18:46
female sometimes i
18:48
don't know how to like trust myself so
18:51
yeah so that's why like one thing i
18:52
learned from them is they just do it
18:53
it's they don't overthink it whether
18:55
it's good bad
18:56
they just they just go with the flow and
18:58
that's what i really respect
19:00
when you're over thinking that you start
19:02
messing things up you know
19:03
well you're in a different genre so
19:06
you know it seemed like it's harder to
19:08
make pop oh yeah
19:10
pop music i feel like unless you're like
19:12
dance
19:14
yeah you know or like making like super
19:17
stylized
19:18
sounding stuff it's very hard
19:21
uh-huh filmy yeah uh
19:25
baby i'm jealous yeah
19:29
um that song goes hard to me that sounds
19:33
like a hip-hop record
19:34
you know what i mean yeah i like the way
19:37
the drum sound
19:38
on it um i i like the way you sound on
19:42
it
19:42
um sound like you might even be spitting
19:45
some bars on it a little bit
19:47
you know um i thought it was a really
19:49
great song and then i watched
19:51
you know the the video the video um to
19:53
sacrifice
19:56
which i think i think it is my mom was
20:00
like what are you doing you're gonna
20:01
alienate everybody with the hell
20:03
blood i was like whatever i was like
20:05
it's it's from blade it's blade the
20:07
movie blade
20:08
oh okay i'm a blade fan i was
20:12
late it's actually blade it's a big
20:14
blade
20:16
okay all right i'm a play fan i watched
20:19
all of them
20:20
okay i was just trying to you know i was
20:22
trying to put that together
20:23
so it's just the interpolation of the
20:26
movie
20:26
yeah the scene when they're dancing with
20:28
dancing vampires and they take the guy
20:32
okay you know i i found the hard way
20:34
with that because you know like you can
20:35
usually get like you know like you uh
20:37
marketed the song and you get it on
20:39
playlist and you
20:40
and and i could not get any of that for
20:42
that video because of the blood so i got
20:44
x but it's okay we live and we learn
20:49
um i'm trying to think of the first
20:51
lyrics i actually wrote them down let me
20:53
see if i could
20:54
find where i wrote from which one the
20:56
first verse the second goes one from
20:57
beautiful to ugly because insecurity
20:59
told me you don't love me
21:00
all it takes is a girl above me on your
21:03
timeline to make me feel like nothing
21:06
is that true to bebe rexha though like
21:08
if somebody
21:10
in my relationship yeah because uh when
21:13
i first started dating my boyfriend i
21:14
think he was used to being single and he
21:16
was liking a lot of like
21:17
girls other girls pictures that like
21:19
kind of had a similar
21:20
look model vibes and then i saw like a
21:24
message i didn't like
21:26
but i don't think he was trying to i
21:27
think he's you know he wasn't trying to
21:29
do it in a disrespectful way
21:31
i have my own thoughts on social media
21:33
um so like i am still a female i'm still
21:35
a girl and i get insecure
21:36
you know i feel like we all feel that
21:38
way and especially when you see a type
21:39
of person
21:40
that is uh you know looks a certain way
21:42
it's hard you know
21:44
uh so so so bibi rexa is like
21:47
you you can find space to be a regular
21:49
girl when i when i look at
21:52
the song sabotage and i've even read up
21:54
on some of the things you said about
21:56
you know what motivated this album real
21:57
life situations you know relationships
22:00
you know insecurities uh sabotage
22:04
and in the song sabotage you say that
22:06
it's always
22:07
a beautiful how the lyrics are it's
22:09
always beautiful
22:10
until i [ __ ] it up and tell you [ __ ]
22:13
what's the last
22:14
beautiful thing in your life you feel
22:15
like you sabotaged
22:18
[Music]
22:20
um i feel like one thing i keep trying
22:23
to sabotage is definitely my
22:25
like my my relationship i know i'm kind
22:27
of deep and personal but
22:29
um i find myself in a lot of situations
22:32
where
22:32
i think i have um i have flaws and
22:36
and sometimes my flaws can get in the
22:37
way of the way of the relationship and
22:39
until you really
22:40
like are 100 percent you got to keep
22:42
working i think with the relationship
22:43
you got to keep working on yourself
22:46
you know and with the communications in
22:47
a relationship it's like you got to meet
22:49
you got to meet halfway and kind of keep
22:51
trying to go together and be on the same
22:52
road
22:53
and i think there's still things within
22:54
me that i'm trying to work on
22:56
and i think those kind of come up in the
22:58
relationship and and
23:00
cause issues and then i and i do things
23:02
to kind of just
23:03
it becomes too much for me and i'm just
23:05
like always trying to sabotage it
23:07
and that's something that i kind of am
23:09
always trying to get a handle on
23:11
um and it's kind of hard because i feel
23:12
like in relationships sometimes i feel
23:14
like i don't want to just i just don't
23:15
want to be rejected
23:16
or hurt or not good enough um
23:20
so you know sometimes i tend to say
23:22
things or do things that sabotage
23:24
the relationship but i so far i've
23:27
figured out how to like wait
23:32
you know or like i've been working on
23:33
myself a lot
23:35
do you do therapy or are you just
23:37
catching yourself in an act
23:39
100 you're kidding me both therapy you
23:41
know i'm
23:42
i'm i'm really grateful to like have my
23:44
therapist and
23:46
um like one thing i also like i'm
23:48
thankful for is like the fact
23:50
that like i get to do music and take
23:52
care and take care of myself and have my
23:54
house but then the number one thing
23:55
you you probably sound silly but when i
23:58
was starting when i was starting out in
23:59
the industry i i really couldn't afford
24:01
my therapy at the time
24:03
expensive for me so i could only do like
24:04
once every couple of months
24:06
and the one thing that i've been really
24:07
grateful for and i know that we need to
24:08
work on in this country is therapy and
24:10
therapy for people and not feeling
24:12
scared or like call a therapist or make
24:14
it more available to people
24:15
so that one thing i'm actually really
24:17
like grateful for
24:18
more than anything is like i tell myself
24:20
like i'm so glad that i could pay for
24:22
these therapy sessions that's the one
24:23
thing that like
24:24
i feel really grateful for wow um
24:28
i i i love this about you bibi and
24:30
listen don't don't get a twisty
24:32
bb has fun you know 100
24:36

24:38
don't want to get this interview
24:39
all my interviews are still feel so
24:40
probably depressing no no this is
24:43

25:07

25:08
deep things but i love it i'm actually
25:10
like to actually like
25:11
i like to think about things like and
25:13
maybe overthink it but it's really cool
25:15
and
25:16
for me this album is more insightful and
25:18
like you said enlightening
25:20
