AD (@itsAD) sits down with Joy for a wide-open conversation covering his path from the streets to rap to podcasting to building his own streaming lane and everything that's come with it. He talks candidly about fatherhood, including moving his daughter in full-time for high school and raising his nonverbal, autistic son Astro, plus how he's learned to tune out a famously toxic fanbase. Joy and AD also get into the viral "pay my bills" debate, the Daejon Love catfishing scandal, the WNBA dildo incident, and what it actually takes to build (and keep) an audience online.
