What at the slip service. I'm Angela, Ye.

I'm g Maguire Geordie your I'm Angela White.

You can call me this episode, so get confused and Angela and Angela today, I'm you, but we haven't engaged couple on the cow to be loved to see? Yes, yes, I always done anyway, But now congratulations. How did you know what ring to pick?

To be honest, her personality like speaks volumes to me, so I felt like whatever ring that I got was going to be something that people would be like, like vibrant, something that's vibrant also too if you look at it on the side, I know how she'd be having her nails and I'd be wanting to compliment certain things. So doubt pay attention to detail when it comes in.

Do sometimes yes?

And it feels good too, like on your finger.

Yes, it feels like it's supposed to be there because it doesn't even it feels like it's a part of me. You know how Sometimes we might wear something and it's like you feel like I can feel this on me, Like I can't feel this on me right, so I know it's for me.

And when you proposed were like you did this in front of people. This is at Howard University. Okay, So talk to me about that day where you're nervous, like, what was going on behind the scenes, how'd.

You plan it? I was super nervous. So I planned it with my friend Troy Gunn's my business partner. He's somebody who I been He's been around in my career just from the jump since like twenty twelve, and I always talked to him for certain advice and certain things. And when me and Angela got together, he was one of the people that I told and he always just gave me advice and guidance on how to move, how to understand, how to understand a woman, him being older than me, just giving me examples. So me and him were planning to go out there to perform because we were performing for Howard Homecoming. I got invited to perform out there and we were on a zoom call and one of the guys who was putting on the show was like, yo, you know it would be dope. You know, I know you and your fiance a wife at the because some people already thought that we were married, right, So he said it would be dope if you you know did something with her on the stage, and I was like, you know, it would be dope bringing her out in her city with her family, my family, her mom being there. She had just released a single that we worked on together called Fabulous or her Able to Perform.

Should be Kamala's song. Yeah, right, go ahead. Sorry.

I just felt like it was just the time and place I really wanted. I wanted to prepare myself to enter the next chapter I've been. I really wanted to do it a while ago, and I just wanted to make sure that I was stable as a man before I made that decision, just because I know the responsibilities that come with it. So I wanted to make sure that I was right with myself. I was right with God, I was right with her, and we had a mutual understanding. And yeah, I was like, this is it. Like I'm gonna I'm gonna sing to her because she loves my she loves my boys, and I'm gonna and I'm gonna do this in front of everybody so they see, like how how I look at her, Like I love showing her off, I love putting her on a pedestal, and I love bringing her up and like it's like it's hard for me to go places and not bring her up if it's a meeting, a business meeting, just because this is like really my friend and that was it was the time. So yeah, she's a real one and it's kind of hard as a man right now. It's sometimes it seems like it's a little bit tough to like when you find a real one by yourself, and you know, people might be as cliche, but like up and down, she's been there, you know what I mean for certain things. I'm a Capricorn, so them so you already know you don't speak so whatever goes on in our life, we usually just keep that stuff inside and we don't never let nobody know what we're going through. And she was one of the only people who I was able to open up with on a vulnerable level and let her know what I was going through.

What's mostly like things that you were going through life.

Yeah, it was really life, I would say life, financial things career wise, like trying to understand balance the music industry shifting, so you know, trying to understand how to move in this industry and you're watching certain things go on. It's like how to have it keep your integrity, but also I love the fact that she's a family woman, and I think that that meant a lot to me the most because I'm I'm very tight with my families and my loved ones and my close ones, and to see how she interacts with her people's and her kids and stuff is just like, oh, no, this is She's the one, you know what I'm saying. So I just felt like that. I felt like that was I felt like that was there and she her song.

So Angela, of course, we know you were surprised, right, But were you like anticipating the proposals at this point?

Were you like, I know, he gonna propose its coming any day now.

I kind of had a feeling, but not really. I didn't know like exactly when, like how no, but it was perfect though. It was good because it was in d C. So Mom was already there, right, you know what I mean? And then afterwards everybody was like, well I knew, I knew. I'm like, how did everybody else?

I mean, it's supposed to be like that. You're supposed to be surprised because you got to like also, did you tell her family because you got to ask for permission or Okay.

Yeah, I definitely spoke to her mom spoke to like she was.

Very happy about it too.

Ye, tough crowd, but she likes you, my mom. She even before this happened, she's like, y'all need her to get married?

Yeah, do that.

But yeah, it was definitely like the time in Guy's time and it was perfect. It just seemed like everything that they just went smooth.

And what happened after that, congratulations, it's all the blur.

We did a family gather and I'm like, wait, what do we do?

Yeah?

We ate food. Do you know when you're going to get married or is it just like we're just engaged right now? We're going to figure that out. We have a date.

Yeah, we said we picked the date already. Yeah, definitely pick the date.

Yeah, now we picked the date, but we're like, if something happens quicker and we feel different, then it will expedite it.

We have a day. You think it's going to be a big wedding or is it going to be in for me?

I want a smaller wedding. I don't want like a lot of people there, like a lot of different energies. I just want like the right people. That's supposed to be there. Okay, you know what I mean, not just like everybody people. Yeah, like if I don't have if I can't pick up the phone and call you, then no, you're not invited.

I what do you want? You want to You're okay with that?

Yeah, I'm cool with that. I think it's still gona end up being big because our families.

To call, so there's a lot of people you can pick.

Up the You have to see how she acts when she gets around her family, Like she just like all the stress, whatever she's going through, she just pulls back and she's just Angela and it's just like you get the funny goofy, the dancing, eating and walking around just comfortable. So I know that wherever however we do the wedding, like we got to make sure that the family is definitely there.

You have a big family too, Yeah okay, yeah, who would like to first? Like who knew first that this was going to be a relationship?

Who liked to first?

Because it starts with somebody tell the truth?

Who liked to?

I think it was mutual. I know that when she came.

So I pursued Derek.

Okay, so you like first.

She did but it was crazy.

Yeah, it just happened.

I say my part parts, and then we're here, because then were we got some questions for y'all, questions to ask your partner before marriage. But first we're going to get through this.

Okay, okay, and a hmm and the shorts of it. I asked Derek to go out with me.

No, you've missed the party.

So I let him go because I don't know how long y'all long?

Okay, So I was, I was chilling. I get a d M and she was like, hey, I'm interested on getting into the studio. Talk to a mutual friend and he said it'd be dope if we work and get in the studio. So automatically, I'm one of those people like, if you want to work, let's do it. Like I'm not. I don't look at your numbers. I don't look at how big you are. Like if you love music just as much as I love music, then let's work. Let's do it. So I said, all right, let's do it. Let's set up a time, Let's set up a session and do it professionally and make sure it was good. So we gave it a day. That day, I had my partner Chibu pull up on me. My boy Mo was there and I told him, I said, listen, we got a dope session today. I said, we got to make sure the room is not We got to make sure that it smells good, like, we got to make sure it's clean. I had the assistance to make sure that. Oh yeah, for sure. I wanted to make sure that the assistants had everything set up for her. So we're all just waiting for the time. So she pulls up in a Rose Royce. Okay, mind you Yeah. I'm like, okay, And it's funny because she don't even really drive the road voice like that, so I'm like, it had to be some type of you feel me. She pulled up and then we had a regular conversation just talking about life. She was telling me about her sobriety and everything that she was going through, talking to me about her businesses, brought up Hearts Pure, and then we started just talking about music because that's how I usually like to work. I like to get to know the person that I'm working with because music is still energy, you know what I'm saying. So you want to make sure that you get the right vibes because the power of the tongue is.

A real thing. Your impression of her when she's.

About her business. Okay, That's why I was making sure all my friends was on point, and I was making sure, like, yo, we got to make sure the engineering sounds right. We got to make sure that she's comfortable, We got to make sure that the vibe is said, because we don't want.

It was clet.

I was impressed.

Yeah, everything was good. So we were talking and then I asked her to played me some records, and she played me some songs and it was one that I was just like, man, this song is it's great. It was Hollywood. Oh yeah, and I was like, I really love this song. And she was just telling me what she was trying to go with her music, and what really got my attention was that it was the complete opposite of what I thought her physics wouldn't beat. And that's really what caught my attention first, because I was just like, Wow, she's actually versatile and she understands demographic and she's diverse to be able to tap into different markets and we're not really seeing that too much in artistry now. So I played her well, she played me the stuff, and then I ran through some beats with my friend and then.

Then so we ran through the beats. We ran through some beats and Derek was like, all right, I'll be right back. I'm like, where is he going? So he goes inside the booth, snaps on this beat, right, I mean like a full like like a full song, comes out, plays it. I'm like, damn, this is really good, and like, how did you? I'm just like amazed of like how good? Like he just did this and didn't write it or just went in there and just killed it. So he looks at me and says, yeah, you ready to go in and try it? I was like, I was like that fast. I was like I can't go home and live with it, like do that. And I was like, you know what, I got this, I'm gonna go in there. I was like, all right, course try it. I couldn't get it. I couldn't get it, but it was cool. I was like, listen, I gotta take this beat home and I gotta like practice this because this is like too hard for me right now. And he was like that's fine. And then after that, I was like, well, play me some of your music, and we started going through some of his music, and then after that, I was like, Hey, do you want to go to this show with me? Did I actually that night or what?

I So that's what really, That's when I think I kind of liked her first at that moment, because she actually asked about me, okay, and usually when I meet people, it's always about them.

Oh that's an interesting dynamic, you know what I'm saying.

So she actually like cared to know what I'm working on and to really get to know who I am. After I just went in and did something for her and I was like wow, Like, so I'm playing music and she's like really tuned in, like she's giving me feedback. She's like, oh, bring this back. I think you could change this. Oh this is cool. I'm like, Okay, nobody comes into my studio and likes that. It's usually like oh, what we got And then I do something. It's like I'll see you later. I won't hear him till the time for paperwork. So I'm like okay, So I'm playing her stuff like I'm really liking your music, and then she says to me, I just want to be like a flying the wall when you create and just like be there, just like my input. And I was like, wow, like that, that's dope because nobody. I usually record myself, like She'll tell y'all be in the studio by myself, be just me. I sometimes engineered myself. And after she left, I asked my friends in there. I was like, yo, and my tripping yeah, because I'm telling because they've been in the studio with me, with endless artists. You know what I'm saying. So we know you know. So I'm like, yo, what so one of my boy she was like, no, Bro, I'm telling you, Bro, I'm telling you, Bro, she's the one. She's the one. I said, you think so my other one, Mo, he was like, you know, just feeling around. He's younger, so he's just like you know. So I'm like, man, listen, bro, I know my instinct. I said it was something there.

Yeah, you felt divided.

I said it was something there. And then she started sending me playlists. She sent me a playlist yeah, and.

I was like, make you a playlist what you want to know?

Just like crazy songs, a plethora of songs like yeah you d J up and you too?

Now got that playlist.

Playlist and then wait, did I text you call you and ask you about the concert.

This was the play this What's on it?

What's on it?

She Got? She Got? She Got by Jayden.

You have to listen.

It's called thank You Come Again.

Okay.

So I'm like, so she says this to me. I'm looking at it. It's dreams. There's another song called show Time by for title Best of You Crawling Clint Eastwood by the Gorillas.

It's all she wants to move.

Knock yourself out.

Okay, scroll through there. Look at this she the Coldplay Kylie Minogue. Oh my goodness, Prince, I would die for you. I would die for you. You know that was already a hit right there. You see that was a hint Rose Rice Love don't live here anymore. Wow, it was just you went there.

She was going there.

Yes, this is amazing.

Yeah, it's like said your kido chipat. I don't even know what that means something. It's a vibe.

It was just like getting that and listening to it. I was like, wow, she's It's like she's telling me something.

Right, and music is your love language, honestly, because from what I'm hearing, the fact that she heard about your music, about what you have, what you're working on and that's into a playlist. Was well done?

It wow?

Right right?

Yeah?

I was like, wow, this is.

Crazy about the playlist. So that would happened.

I had invited Derek. I was like, Hey, do you want to go to this concert lovers with the lovers and friends friends, And I'm waiting for him to text me back, and he was like, did you text me or call.

Me FaceTime time?

That's straight to the FaceTime okay, And he was like he couldn't come.

Oh he was busy.

I was like, day, I was trying to You were trying to keep a business.

Business. I was trying to keep a business.

But then that also probably piqued your interest a little bit because who turns like who would just say no like that?

I was like, honestly, I was like, he don't want to go, I go to sleep.

Noah. I had told her that I had like a dinner meeting because because like I said, you know, being being in the music and I work with a lot of women. You know what I'm saying, You.

Have worked with a lot of women aspect this Dallion Nicki min I.

Yeah, so I always try to make sure that I keep business. Business is business. You know what I'm saying. So and she hit me up out was like I don't know, I got like a dinner meeting. But then I thought it to myself and I was like, yo, I never had a woman actually asked me on a date, right, And I was like, why would I turn it down? Like this is? So I called it back and I was like, you know what, I'll go and I was like, yeah, she had me in the Ferrari whoa play room by cream with the top down.

Good time.

Was like a little exits. Was it weird for you? Because you know she is a celebrity and everybody knows her, and so for you, like how did you handle that? Because sometimes that can be difficult.

We had a blast when we got there, y'all. We listened to the concert. We was holding hands in Jamaican f We was in funnel cake. This right here was the best part. Right, So I forgot who was with our friend Monique. She came back with two funnel cakes, one with scrauwberry and one with chocolate. And I was like looking at him like, dang, you don't want this strawberry one. So I'm done for it. And I do not like chocolate like that. So then when she asked, like, which one do y'all want, I was like, you picked When he picked that chocolate, you were like yeah, I was like this and then he's a chocolate fanatic, love chocolate, and.

You don't got so y'all were holding hands on the first day. That is so.

Like a movie. That's why I was like, nah, this is I never experienced that before, Like when And I think when we were texting after that, I think I asked her like, do you believe in love at first sight? I think I asked you that in the text, and like she was sending me all these like horoscope stuff with capricorns and tourists, and I'm like pretty compatible, you know what I mean. Like I said, I'm in a space at that time, like fully work mode, Like I wasn't thinking about getting into no relationship nothing. I was on some hustle, want to stack my money up, and I really want to go hard and work. And when I realized what we had, she was the one who told me. She was like, so, how often do you go to the studio? And I was like, I'm there every day. She was like, you can't do that, and I was like, what do you mean? She was like, I just feel like you you sometimes you just need to do other things. And like that's that's where the part comes. When we were friends first, because she was giving me advice on how to move and I'm like, you know, you're right, Like I did mad stuff, I got songs that's about to come out. We just did the Madden soundtrack. Like it's a whole bunch of stuff coming out. So I literally shut my studio down I think for like what three months. Oh wow, that was big because that's my that's my first love. So if I love somebody just as much as I love my music, it's real. So I shut the studio down for three months and I spent three months with her every.

Day, every day, every day, driving back and forth.

Yeah, like I really wanted to build up that that foundation and that friendship that was Like that was like strong me because I know how good of a friend I am.

Right, I love you first, maybe me, I thank you.

I think it might have been you might have been.

What's happening?

She said, I love you?

And did you say I think it was me?

I don't know, but you're both, I said, love at first sight. Yeah, at first, and then that's that is how has this affected even like your music too, because I can imagine, you know, being in love and doing something that you stepped out and did something that's different for you. You know, like you said, shut down the studio for three months, spent every day with somebody and you know, broke the rule basically that you had set for yourself.

Yeah, to be honest, it's probably been one of the most might have been the most easy but difficult moments of my career when it comes to making music. Because for other people it's their life, but for me, I have to be very intentional on what I say in my music because it represents who I am as a man, who I am as a person. So my music is very, very vulnerable, but it's very leaning towards relationship. And I don't know, I don't want to say this, but I mean it seems like it where music is right now, it's like there's missing a vulnerability, oh for sure. And it's like, if you're gonna do it, you have to actually showcase that you're actually living like that in the music for people to understand it and for it to resonate. Being said, you know what I'm saying, so like a lot of my music right now, and it's just like, man it we were just literally talking about this in the car. I'm like, is this the climate to put it out? And I think it is, like she really motivates me, and I think I'm just I'm just stuck in my ways because I've done so many big songs for big artists. I think I put so much pressure on myself as.

You Savage Remix.

I mean, that's cute, appreciate it. So it's like, but but she gives me confidence though, and she She's like, she asked me to put music out, so as long as I like it, she likes it, my close friends likes it, my family likes it. That's all, you know what I'm saying. So that's what we were really talking about is getting ready.

Then did music together too, which is amazing. And this song, I mean, like I was telling you before, I'm fabulous, that's amazing that my story right now, that song is amazing. Yeah, And I know, even from when you first started doing music, people have always talked about how talented you are. I remember it's super early on.

They were like we were in Houston, you remember we were in Houston or listening to music.

Yes, that was maybe like six.

Years go crazy and you had some fire songs yet because I was even debasing on like this stuff.

Type of yeah that we was loving.

Yeah, yeah, holding onto a lot.

You got them all, by the way, you do? Are you writing a special song for the wedding or like what's going to happen? Because I feel like, oh my god, did you even think about that?

No?

I haven't thought about that.

Yeah, Angela, just get your idea. You need like a whole little wedding EP.

I feel like he's looking like.

No, it's crazy. That's a song that I wrote a while ago for Justin Bieber and it's called I Do. He never used it, and it's my mom's favorite song and she brings it up literally all the time, and I'm like, no, mom, not mom, but actually, like wedding song by that might be something on revisit And.

You know, Angela, he played it for me. I don't know the words robate him though, Okay, but now I have to revisit it.

Something, especially when it happened. I could feel it now. You guys also decided to join love and hip hop and when y'all made that announcement, people were like, oh my god, why would you do.

From her?

The first question being back in Miami for you? Say how I was being back in Miami for you?

It's cool.

Yeah, it's like I just do my work, come home, eat, repeat, that's it. Yes, it's smooth. It's not like how it was back in the day.

Of course, not the person.

If it was back I think if it was still like those times, it's just still not the same. Like it's like you had to have been there, ye, and.

If it wasn't just missed out.

It's not like now, like even when I go there and I go to different places, I'm like, this is what.

Nothing, it's not it's just like we just got older.

I'm like, did we get older? Is it just?

Yeah?

Both we're mature, aren't the same?

That's happening in those days? Are we're talking what ten, twelve, fourteen years ago? We used to be in Miami? Yeas mess fight club?

Remember the first day we met I for somebody and listen the birthday I lived talking y'all in Miami.

Yeah, I met you in Miami too.

Yeah.

The first time I married it was in the club and she got into a fight. Yeah, but you know she wont to.

Talk about it.

Dang.

I was just telling Derek. I was like, man, I've known my my friends since I was like twenty years old, nineteen to twenty. Time fly and do.

You feel like everybody's happy to see where you are in life right now? That's that's an amazing thing.

Yeah.

Like everybody I've seen, like in the past, just even from me first coming out, all the way up to now, they're like, dang, but it's always that look like finally you stop and listen, you know what I mean type.

You always had it in you.

Yes, that's what it was.

That's exactly what it is.

You always. So what was behind the plan or the decision to join love and hip hop? Tell me how that even happened, Like who's approached you guys? You know, what are the things? Because I know you said you want to show like a positive relationship. I feel it already, But talk to me about what happened behind the scenes and how you guys were approached.

For me, I think it is what it is, love and hip hop, Like this is the love and hippy brings the hop, you know. So as far as like the music and the love behind that. I feel like maybe over the years, like it kind of just got messy. But you got to think too, like drama cells like and I get it, like I've been I've been there, done that. But like now if you could bring like that positive light, that's even more of a plus because it's like nobody want to keep living in drama or living in fear or just all these different things. Like it's like eventually you have to come from out of it because everybody wants that fairy tale, that that happy ending exactly.

And I think you've learned a lot just from being having your own shows and knowing like how to maneuver and through things and you know, make it happen. Sometimes it's hard for people. What about you, Derek, this is a new territory for you.

Yeah. So my my good friend Amber Revenan, Yeah, that's my dog. I met her working with Dream Dog years ago and she always was just like, yo, you need to do TV. You need to showcase what you do in the studio and like real time, And I kept telling her, not, it's not really my thing, Like I really want to focus on, you know, moving in a certain light because you know, it's a narrative. So she was doing college here great time.

The time. I was so proud of my friend.

It was good.

And even to see you on there with her to come and support her, I shed a little tear.

I did, Wow, thank you because you could tell that she needed.

You in that moment when you showed up to be with her, and like you could tell that she was kind of it was when she was going through doubting herself and you know, really wanting to work hard at completing the program, and for you to show up and be there for her and you know, me knowing her, I could tell that that's what she needed in that moment. And this was my first time ever seeing you and like in y'all as the unit as a couple, and I just was like, you know, yeah.

You seem very nice. Yeah yeah, very genuine, very genuine. You can show that the love is like real, even from that moment. I like College Hell as a show, Like I like the way that that show is structured as far as like you know, and it probably does encourage some people to be like you know.

What I needed.

I'll be watching it like I need to go back to school, I need to participate in sell of these competitions.

I'm like, we talking want to go back to school. She called me about all the stuff that she was completing, and I'm just like, man, is great.

Let me take it seriously this time seriously. She took it very seriously. And I think as an entrepreneur and as a person who's been through a lot like that is something perfect for you because you know life experiences and things that you've done and things that you created and the businesses that you have. Now applying that to school and help them take it to another level.

It was very positive.

All right, I needed it. We do have these questions to ask your partner before marriage. Okay, are you all ready for this? Because this is a this is what they say. Getting married is a big deal. You need to make sure you're on the same page. So here's some things that you need to discuss before you get married, and we're going to ask them right here. Okay, how do you handle disagreements because it's always going to be disagreements.

I think we just talked about like about it.

We're just we're just talking through.

We don't really I'm like, I think because when we do communicate, like we communicate it as a full circle, not like a half half way type of thing. Like if I say something or if Derek say something, we kind of say everything, so it's not no questionable thing.

So you put it all on the table and then you're able to get clarity. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm like, we don't ye think about it.

Okay, why do you want to get married?

Because why why get married?

Because God's going to see that and give us favor and love us more and show grace and we'll get to head. It's just like all these different things and I want to show have I want to have unity, I want to have a family with you, and I want to do things the right way.

I want to get married because I feel like I come from a two parent household, and watching how my mom and dad interact and just seeing how me and my sister were raised, I was just like, man, I want to kind of follow the footsteps. But I also believe in building, and I think the best way that we could build together outside of just building our own empire, is just building and showcasing to the world like what real love is and like real genuineness is, and showcasing like black love. People say black love, but like, you know, like to really showcase it.

I feel not for real, oh my goodness, elaborate.

Now. I just feel like marriage has always just been something that people sometimes say, and then it became like a It seemed like people took it as a joke at one point, Like when I was younger, it's like, oh, yeah, and getting me very married. They had games where they would say, oh, your marriage, da da da da. And then it's like when I hit mid twenties, it's like, oh, I'm not getting married doing this, And I'm just like, I don't know if I feel it, but if I want to move right, move in faith and just really like do it the right way, I want to make sure that we like packaged as a unit and we're married together. So I think that that's and you deserve to be married.

To any single friends.

It's so hard of here, so hard here.

I was.

I wanted to ask both of y'all, like, as somebody who's in my thirties, kind of what you were saying about. People love the drama, and people love the non committal casual relationships. They don't want that vulnerability, not in the music, not in the entertainment, how do you date in that space? And where are the good guys at? Truly, truly, she's the very truth.

I can't tell you. I came upon.

Mind, man, you gotta go on the DMS.

What did you say?

I don't know what to say, though, Well, I think I think that it was.

It was one of those things too, because even with the music, right, I was like, I'm not doing this music stuff.

No more.

Right, I'm like, I'm done with this. I'm not messing with it. Scram I'm sorry, I'm gonna keep going on now. But I was really done with it. Then I started doing my acting and by me doing something else, it brought me back to music. But it brought me back to Derek also too. So it's like kind of like stepping out and doing things what you're mostly passionate about. It should bring you into something like some type of good relationship somehow, some.

Way, you know, like brings positivity.

Okay, there we go, Yeah to wrap that up.

Yeah, okay, all.

Right, Now here's the next one. What are you guys gonna do with your last names?

Are you going to hyphenate?

No, that's You're gonna go from Angela White to Angela gray. Yes, I love that.

When we were doing.

You were talking about that people in the comments, it was like, hey, miss Malono, I'm like young crazy. It's great that it is still a color though, right to right?

What's the odds different color? It's all right? Now, how much alone time do you need? You guys were together for three months straight. You know you're together now you're going to be filming together, but sometimes you do need some alone time. So when it comes to that, how much alone time do you feel like you need? Or you're always going to be up under each other?

I know. So the thing with her is and that's why, like I said, being a friend first matters. You're able to see patterns. So for me, I know that when she's in hustle mode, it's time for me to be in hustle mode. I know when she gets king and dream that's her time to be a mother. You know what I'm saying, Like I let her have that time because that's what she deserves and her kids love her, you know what I'm saying. So every time the day's come like all right, let me do my thing, but we always come back and we know like, Okay, this is what it's gonna be. But I think we respect each other's time, Like when I have to work, like I let her know. She lets me know when she's working. Like we really communicate, like I can't. I don't even like even if we went through our text right now and scrolled up to our first one, they probably take a while because we communicate. We just let each other know, like what's going on here, I got a meeting or meeting with this person. She lets me know I'm going to be going to the salon. And plus too, it's like, you know, she's she's a business woman, so I feel like for her to really lock in, you can't be underneath her, okay, Like I would feel like a terrible man while she's working, because at the end of the day, she's doing her things. She got her salon, she has the clothing store that she just open, she's a mother, she's doing music, she's doing acting. It's just so much that she got her hands in. So for me, it's like it motivates me to just be like, Okay, let me go ahead and make sure that I got a schedule set and shout out to my manager Troy because he sure I'll call him, like lookization you know him, I'll be like, Yo, we got to make sure that we on point with this, I said, because she's doing this, I want to make sure why she's doing that. We got this going on, so we all, you know, we celebrate, we come together. We could really have a good time.

Great time.

Balance is key. What are your non negotiables? For example, if you have a long standing tradition of going on holiday with your friends once a year, did your partner know how much that means to you? If they always have Sunday lunch with their mom, are you fine working around that?

Like?

What are some non negotiables?

I don't really have any?

You like, Nope, we're good.

She has won. She just didn't say. I think that's the only one that we She just loves.

Oh she's not leaving l A.

She said it here.

Yeah, I just I just I love it for work, and I love the fact that I have.

To say that my kids are there.

Yeah, let's not forget I love it my kids there. Okay, Well that is not negotiable. That would be That's why.

That's why I'll never bring even when I talk to like my friends like you in l A, I'll be like I mean, I really like Texas and I and I've been doing research on Dallas. I mean, I've been doing research on Dallas. They're building the Universal Studios and Frisco. So I was like, h M, might be dope to kind of get a property out there that's around, like a resort type of thing where we could regalize it for a business, you know what I mean at the same time of like just creation. And then Florida. I love. I went to school in Orlando. Still have a house there, so you know that's somewhere. It's like cool and you get both for us. But I guess just keep.

You.

I want to go be ready.

I want to be So do you have no negotiables since you gave us hers? I'm like, is that a fair one? It's a fair one. Let me think you think he has any angela? Okay, that's fine? Maybe yeah, yeah, You're like, no, I'm pretty easy going.

Yeahricorn, there's got to be something like I never met nobody say anything bad about the Capcorn maybe January ones.

You have some nerves? Okay? What is your love language? That's always a good question, right, you know people talk about the different love languages and For some people it's gifts, for some people it's affirmation. But for you guys, what would you say is your love language?

Besides the music?

And Angela likes to.

Eat and we always just about to say, I was about to see my love language?

You like to action and words. Those are the four love languages.

I think for me it's action.

Yeah, I think for me it's words.

Affirmation for sure, yeah, okay.

Makes especially we don't get it. So it's like when you you say a lot, yeah like that stuff.

Even from the beginning, he said, you said, she asked about your.

You know, yeah, like that stuff means something. That's crazy because I never knew that. I never knew what those people always bring them up, but I never knew what they were touch gifts, what all of them again?

Words of information, action, gift, action, and words and.

Where it's sure action like you help me up, help something. I love that, and Derek thing about it like I don't even have to say it, like he just automatically knows it and just does it, or it's like already done, like I landed and I was so hungry and he had playing for you think a whole fish for me?

Oh damn, isn't that so refreshing.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's just more other other things than that. If it's something that I have going on and I don't feel like doing I don't feel like doing it, He'll do it to kickstart me so that the rest of my day like flows and I'm like, all right, okay, I'm good, i'ma let's go.

That's what your partenter is supposed to do, like make your life easier both ways. All right, what is your dream holiday? If you were your vacation, what's your dream trip?

I would say something on Christmas because December four, I never get to celebrate my birthday.

Baby, your Christmas.

All my friends out of town people are celebrating Christmas.

It's expending time of the year too, so you're giving gifts on your day. Yeah.

So maybe that because she threw me a surprise birthday. Nobody did that for me before she threw me a surprise last.

Yeah, listen, what's even crazier than that? Like we kept going having things blessed that was by coastal so we would go to Delaware. I had something and I was able to meet his mom and I stayed stayed over at the house and she cooked for us, and I was so excited she cooked for us, and we just really talked and we had a really good time. And then we went to Atlanta. We hung out, and we went back to.

We went to.

Virginia.

Yeah, Virginia to visit his grandma on her birthday. So it was like I kept being around the family, kept being around the family, and then if your family came.

Out, I think your mom had her birthday there.

Then my mom had her birthday and they drove up and I'm like, oh, this is great.

Yeah, it was perfect, the families together.

Yeah, yeah, you got to I think that's I think that's crucial in today's relationships too.

Yeah, what does your family think of Angela when they first met her.

They love her. The thing that they I think that they were just honed on to the most was like, just make sure that you guys love each other. I think that was their whole thing, because they've seen me go through ups and downs of just like not even relationship, just friends and people who will get you excited, get you raummed up, and get you happy, and then something happens and then everything's just like defeated. You know what I'm saying. So I think the way that I was talking so and speaking so highly about her, my family was more like, okay, because it sounds too good to be true, so let me see what's really going on. And when they met, they was just like, oh no, she's she's.

Great, great.

My sister loves her, I love my dad, my grandmoms, like both my grandmom they call it was on FaceTime with her, my one grandma, me and me calls her angel. Yeah like she just yeah, you just you and you and I'm not gonna lie. You brought my family together too, because I've been working so so hard and sometimes it's hard for me to travel and do stuff. But it's like I be calling my mom for advice, you know what I'm saying. I'll be calling my dad for advice. I'll be calling them for certain things. Me and my sister, she's doing her thing. So like I wanted to make sure that they had a good relationship because that matters.

Yeah, because my brother boy, I'd be like, no, that's not it, but I'll be real, yeah, okay, thank you, La.

It's definitely important for sure.

Yes, I I'm so happy for you.

You deserve all of you deserve all of the happiness. You deserve all of the blessings you really do. You worked hard for it and you earned it, and you definitely.

You got me right about.

Everybody here got what I mean, because we come from.

The churches, from the stuff from the churches before a long, long time ago, and it is that we both left and moved forward and excelled in and got so.

Many positive, great things happening. Yeah, yeah, you know, all the character building. Yeah, it's what we like to call it. It's just like your first like in love, real relationship that you're brought to the family.

Yes, okay, for sure. It was probably one other person. It was like maybe eight years now, like high school. Okay, after that, it was just kind of like, I don't know, because when you bring somebody around family, it's like they end up becoming like and you can get that question, oh so what happened there? So I was like, if I'm gonna like really go all the way in, I gotta go all the way in. I'm not about to be off and on. I'm not gonna be out here picking and choosing, like if I'm all in, i gotta be all in. So I knew. I was like when she did Duffy's hope. I was like, all right, mom, I said you all ready, And I think my dad was all nervous himself. He was nervous because he was just like wow, like all right, and then my mom. Everybody was just happy, like I think. I think that that's the biggest thing out of all of this, is that we're.

All happy, right, and they're happy to see you happy. Yes, that's the main thing that if you stressed out, I don't know.

If that's I don't know if that's it.

Yeah, all right.

Now there's another question to ask before marriage. How will you handle differing sex drives, Because that's the real thing. If one person feels like it, the other person doesn't. If one person wants it every day but the other person is like twice a week is good, how do you guys handle that because that can happen. It feels like y'all that I can't relate, right, Yeah. Yeah, everybody's quiet.

Everybody, everybody's we're going to wait to our marriage day. No, I'm skiddy.

Oh. I was like, wait a minute, let me find out today. And he's like, we getting married tomorrow or tonight if it's open. Yeah, it's a real question though, you know, because that does happen.

I think I'm just communications. I think it's just saying certain things.

I think it's communication. And yeah, keeping it sexy, right right?

He wake you up out of his eve and be like hey, or her in sleep? Yeah, no, she won't wake up. That's how I am.

I'm rock.

Hey, So do what you're going to do for yourself?

Okay, all right, now, what about here's another one? Okay, how will you split your finances? Is that a discussion? Finances are very important to discuss when it comes to any type of marriage, because that is, you know, they said, it's likely you probably already split a lot of bills together. Make sure you're happy with this arrangement. And they said the fairest way to do things is usually based on what you earn. But have you guys discussed like how are we going to split these things? Who's paying? What? Did you ask each other each other's credit score?

You brought it up, You definitely brought it up. That's definitely a conversation for sure.

I think that's where the building comes in at too, Like the building like, let's build it together and see what happens. Right, you know what I mean, Because I feel like with any business, something might be up, something might be low. It's not going to be the same. And that's where having a good partner comes in too, because I could be up to say the first and the third quarter, and you could be up the second and the fourth quarter. You know what I mean. Long as we can figure out that balance, it should be fine. And then in between then like not just spending money, but like investing money so that we could get some coins instead of just throwing money away, Let's try to figure out to make some money.

Yea, Because you guys don't have like a regular day job, so it's not like you have this paycheck coming in every two weeks. It might be like a huge check. And then yet like okay, now I'm waiting for my next you know.

Got to figure it out. That's what that hustle coming at. That's through well you get prenup. Prenup.

Well, you know what, I'm not against it, I'm not opposed to it, but I mean because she has a lot of stuff already, you know what I'm saying. She got her cars, like that's hers, she got her sprinter, that's hers. She has her house, that's hers. I have my stuff, that's mine. You know what I'm saying. But I'm not one of those people like, oh, you need to do one, but.

It's a contract, and you guys are business people, Well we ain't. We ain't period. That's it.

It won't be a prenup.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, because I feel like it's one of those things we have.

We're not getting divorced.

Yeah right, that's it. I love that process because you're done.

People.

People will take marriage and they don't really, like you said, they make a joke about it and they don't really take it seriously. There's so many marriages and the divorce. But having that mindset, ye, for what I was feeling that if somebody you to.

Get a preeanap, would you not get married or would you be okay with it? I think it depends on the situation.

Like, for instance, my ex that we no longer speak about that relationship that I was in for so long, if he would have asked me to get a premiump, I would have laughed.

In his face. Okay, because what fifteen years later you want to like, no, Okay, you know what I'm saying, but somebody, Now, if you met somebody now, depending a year and a half from now, he was engaged and he's depending on the situation, I would not be offended because I understand.

But I do have the mindset of marriages supposed to be forever. So why are we even talking about divorce while we're even talking about splitting things?

Exactly? What do you think?

Jordan?

Jordan said, and.

With me there too, like in this relationship, it's not a competition. And I've been in relationships to wheres though are you? Are you? This is a competition. You're not going to win this one. You get what I'm saying. It's never been like that because you get it's some people men that want to compete with you inno relationships, and it's wild. It's like I thought it was supposed to be meet you against them. Oh what happened?

But you know, it's something like people always go into things. Nobody goes into a relationship and it's not going to last or a marriage, And so I will say, and not that it won't, but you know, I'm getting a freak.

Yeah, but you know it is what it is.

And I think to each his own, like for everybody that you know makes whatever decision, that's not for us to decide or judge. But I know for me, listen, I wish somebody would ask me, like, yes, it's done doing it.

What about you?

I'm too anxious.

I couldn't even if I think I trust you and I love you more than anything, I just feel like.

I wouldn't need that for.

My own sanity, security and safety.

And I want to need a couple of clauses in there just in case you do something crazy, right, because I feel like people change.

You know, I understand the two. If somebody's cheating, obviously you're not gonna come on right, No, you're not getting half obvious. These are the obvious, obvious reasons abuse and stuff like that. These are obvious reasons why, and it shouldn't be none of that stuff.

I like more like, for instance, like when you're a safe driver, you could be the safest driver.

You could be, but you can't control other people.

So it's like I can have the best intentions on this marriage, but I can't control what you're gonna do, right, So I still want to car insurance.

Yeah, well, listen among those lines, another question to ask a partner, What constitutes cheating? What do you classify as cheating? Some people might look at porn as betrayal, others might not mind. People might think text message is like, what constitutes cheating for you guys? And is that a deal breaker?

Yes, that's for sure. Texting d M and talking that freaky slick stuff on the side when you see somebody like.

Anything that your question, anything that you have to ask yourself if your partner is going to feel a way about it.

Yes, And that's always my answer to anything that anything that you can't do in front of your partner or with your partner is definitely cheating exactly.

Let me ask you this. Let's say you're going to work with somebody in the studio and it's a female artist and she comes on to you. Would you tell Angela that that happened? Or would you just shut it down and not say anything.

No.

I would tell her, okay what I tell you?

Yes, tell her yes, my friend face right now, talk about it. Can you continue to work with somebody if they do come on to you.

It's one of those things where I let them know, like, this is not what that is. And if we do work, it has to be on time or where it's like, how can I say? It can't be like, oh, we're going out of town. It has to be like along the guidelance of like time business. Yeah, exactly, like it's studios from that's it. There's no hanging out after. We're not going nowhere after Like that's what it's going to be. And make sure I get the bounces of the songs.

You ain't getting no smell goods in here. We're not cleaning the studio.

But you want to know what I do respect though, that is cool that a lot of the the women artists that I do work with, they're so happy for me, but they're also happy for her. So usually like I'll be in the studio and then they're like, oh my god, can you tell angel I'll be like, I'll just facetim and then she'll get on FaceTime with an artist and then they're like, oh, I just want to tell you how proud I am in you. And then that goes to now like hey, by the way, you know she opened up a salon. Hey, you know she's doing this and she's doing music. So it's like now, it's it works that we have these relationships and it's been business because now I can asks for favors. There's certain things that I could present where it's like, yo, you know, like a fugue there wants to do like a like an ambassador or for Heart's Pure or something. It's like, look, Angelauet, this is going on. I don't know what your situation is. I know you might be a new artist, but you know this would be dope with to present business adventures outside of music.

GG got your hair in right now speaking of her, I know I speaking of it's like it's really good. I'm not even just saying that, like it's not.

Saying it because this is my friend.

This is some of the best hair that I've worn ever, ever ever. It looks good, it feels good, it works well, it's amazing, it's silky, it's it's everything it needs to be.

And honestly, when you sent me the.

Box, I was just like, this is like how many bucks later?

It's like a year later, Yeah, it is, It's like a year's so personal things was happening, life was life in and the box got lost in translation right without you know, being to But the moment that I knew that I wanted this specific hairstyle. I was like, I know exactly what hair I'm using, and when I tell you you sent the frontal, I'm a I'm an leave out girl. So I thought like, damn, I'm not gonna have enough hair with these street bundles.

When I tell you, I got these bundles laid and it was just enough and it was so perfect.

I got right off the bat like that, and so many compliments, and I'm like really like walking talking billboard for my friend and his hair.

Like I just was at Magic City of All.

Places last night and one of the girls was like, your hair. I had to come off hair and tell you how good your hair looks. It looked like it's coming out of Scott.

I'm like, girl, it is, it doesn't really.

Yeah, yeah, you did a good Johnson with picking your vendor or whatever your venting process or whatever you did.

You did that Ry living all about hair and stuff. Yeah too.

She makes sure like everything's right even with this, like watch the pics together, like she snapped, you know what I'm saying, just going through and just picking all her stuff. She has her she got her whole side of She conducts all her business and sends out her package. I've seen her send out her her team might have sent out maybe a thousand orders in like two days. They only it wasn't a whole bunch of people. It might have been three, three of them, her close friends. You know what I'm saying. I had dream going in there, but.

Is always ready, Dream is ready. I'd be like, she's.

Gonna be an entrepreneur.

That's when you learned that though, when you see your mom doing stuff like that and you let you tell.

I mean, she's like, man, we gotta go to the salon.

I'm like, I was just up there.

It's like, no, we're going.

We're going.

Man.

I love this for you because, first of all, no matter what you've always been about your business, you've been starting businesses, creating. But then I also feel like when you went through this whole transformation back to Angela White, some people were like doubting it and acting like, oh, well, let's see how this you know this stunt last, But you have proven everyone who has ever doubted you wrong. Just to see where you are, the journey that you've come on, like to see where you are today, sitting here, happy and love well deserving.

That's just another level of your transfer lot, a level of lot, another level unlock, and then.

You're gonna be a wife.

Girl.

We're gonna have a blast that day.

It's like, is there a friend though?

Oh yeah, weddings somebody all catch the bouquet.

Yeah, weddings are lit though, Like the wedding. People be looking up at weddings. Let me tell you, I got some cool friends.

I did.

Y'all already like me, like, who's going to be in the wedding? Have y'all figured out who's No, I'm afraid that.

We want to miss people. Yeah, I'm nervous about that part.

That's always a right decision. Like in the wedding, people be offended.

That's what.

We should have two weddings, wedding for our family because some of them people we don't don't feel like explaining to the family who that is?

You know, like, wow, like.

This who is these character?

These people?

That's what you're gonna have to tell me me? Who to you know, you don't want to have to explain nothing to me me. Y'all go ahead and do the private for the family.

And then it turned out, Yeah, I think so you need to do it in the West Coast that's not bad.

Are You're from Philly?

So I was born there. I was raised in Delaware.

Okay, you had all kind of Philly people up here today.

There for the first twenty five years of my life, and then I moved to Atlanta. I have a daughter. She was eight when we moved there. She just turned twenty eight. So I've been in Atlanta now twenty years.

Yeah, that's the.

Well I left because I can't be here for about five and then it's been five years since I've been back.

What was Delaware like for you growing up there?

It was it was quiet, so I was yeah, it was it was quiet. I was. I was right outside of Chester, so I was in Wilmington. So that's why Philly is so tight with me, because it's right.

My littles just bought a house in Delaware.

You know what I'm saying. Delaware is like way off the mat, and I was literally in Wilmington. Like claim, my area, which is probably maybe fifteen minutes.

Is closer to the Philadelphia Airport than most places in Philadelphia's close to the Philadelphia Airport is like really right there.

Right there, Okay, but there I think the biggest, the biggest take that I got from out there was expansion because growing up there there really wasn't too much to do, so you had to like kind of like entertain yourself. So that's where I really got into music and really got into like promotion and understanding certain things and how to move, because I think that's the biggest thing that all creatives should understand, is like knowing how to move, like knowing how to know when it's your moment, knowing how to execute when it's your time, knowing how to sit back and play your role and execute and attack when it's time to attack. And I think that's what I learned in Delaware because we didn't have nothing. We didn't have nothing, so it was like, Okay, I'm go out here and put as much work as I can. And then I went to college in Orlando. And then when I went to Orlando, I said, Okay, this is a bigger market. Let me just enhance what I was already doing in Delaware and now utilize having resources. Let me utilize the fact that there's clubs, and let me utilize the facts that there's colleges, and let me utilize the fact that I'm older now. And then when I got into the songwriting twenty nineteen and went to LA. I used the same process that I did, and that's where I'm at now. Is like, I'm so humble and grateful to be where I'm at because I really love this, Like this is work. It's also like a passion of mine. So I don't really look to get invited to parties. I don't really want to be too much in the mix. Like when people found out I don't love hi party was a lot of people that was like, oh, don't be on there drinks. I'm like, bro, you must not.

Know me because I'm not wait for this.

I'm excited. Yeah, I'm excited.

We're excited for you. It seems like you two compliment each other very well, so that's important, and we appreciate y'all for coming up here today and being so open and honestly, I think it's a cute love story.

It's your whole love story. I'm just happy.

Yeah, they look so genuinely.

And they're matching.

Man, let me tell you.

Right Earlier, I had no idea that he was were living in two different places and I was.

Like, I text her, I said, because I was staying at my because I've been back and forth from New York and Delaware. Like what you said seventeen days.

Has been I was like, see you a seventeen years damn.

So I texted her two nights ago about to go down.

I tooted it two nights ago, and I was like, I got this cool outfit. I can't wait for you to see it. Shorted the shoes though, because I don't I don't never get Gucci, but I was like, let me. I like bigger shoes. I was like, let me grab these. But then I didn't want to show her the shirt or nothing else. So then we get to the hotel and then I pull out the outf and she was like, Olive two said, what a line.

But it happens every time, every.

Time it is flatter she she snapped, this is a beauty dress when she walked, because look, every time she puts on an outfit, it motivates me too to make sure that I matched.

Make sure fly her fly.

You know what I'm saying, Like she'd be having that ship, she'd be having that having I'd be trying, but you be having that making everything look good. So oh my god, you guys, Like when she put it on and she was walking and I was just looking at the whole with the fingerwaves.

Like that's my wife.

Yeah.

I was like, she's gonna do it, you know it all nails everything.
