Drew
Are you willing to settle? You ready to settle down?
Caresha
I feel like going into my 30s. Yes. Because I got two kids. I'm 31. Life getting a little serious. It's time to, like, slow down. It's time to be a family, you know? Like, my son. Father is deceased. Like, he died, and it's like I'm raising a son of my own. I want him to have a father figure. I want him to have, like, some type of male figure in his life. So it's like, I can't just be a fun girl running around as a city Girl, right? Life gotta get serious. And I think, like, going into my 30s, I'm at that point.
Drew
Would you end a relationship for cheating or you give him a second chance?
Caresha
I give him a second chance. Everybody cheat. Women cheat, too.
Drew
Damn, that was quick.
Caresha
We be cheating. We just don't get caught.
Drew
Cause y'all, y'all, y'all. Cause women are like, cat. They got padded feet, can't hear em. They tiptoe in silence.
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
And see, the thing is, a lot of times, guys are not as messy as women. See, guys will keep down. Hush, hush. Women, y'all gonna be telling.
Caresha
Nah, it's the other way around.
Drew
Guys be telling. They be.
Caresha
Now, women don't say shit. Maybe it's our friends, but it's never going out.
Drew
But, yes, it's gonna get out. Cause friends, y'all gonna have a falling out. Cause, you know, it's just before y'all fall out, and then you gonna tell all your business and then what?
Caresha
No, I'm not like. I feel like. I ain't gonna lie. Just hear me out. I hate to say this, but I feel like men cheat. Like all men cheat. But you have to get to that point where you grown enough to just feel like, okay, I'm not in that era no more. So I'm not leaving my man for cheating once. I'm probably gonna give, like, four times.
Drew
Four. Damn.
Caresha
I'm not gonna lie.
Drew
I might have to get your number four times.
T-Mobile Representative
Joy.
Caresha
I'm not gonna lie. I got a little patience. I got a little patience.
Drew
I like that.
Caresha
But when I get. I told you, when I get the.
Drew
Phone, when you get fed up, when.
Caresha
I get the on, you gonna miss me. Yeah. Mm.
Drew
So let me ask you a question. That Neo situation. You see, Neil, I think Neo got, like, three girlfriends, man.
Caresha
Neo's serving. I'm just playing. I just think for each his own. I feel like he living in his truth. That's all that matter. Cause he could be, like, manipulating women. He could be lying. He could be deceiving. I feel like you have to live in your truth. If that's what worked for him. And the women that's involved, they happy. That's what they wanna do. I feel like what works for you may not work for the next person. Everybody don't like apples. Everybody don't like oranges. If that's what he likes and that's his truth, he have to live in his truth. And he got women. That's.
Drew
Could you be. You okay being on the roster? Well, you gotta be. Can you gotta be one. Can you be, like, three on the roster or where you gotta be on the totem pole?
Caresha
Let me tell you something, okay? You see this face? You see, baby? I just can't do a roster. I'm not gonna lie. I probably can start, like. I probably can start with, like, a team.
Drew
Yeah.
Caresha
But by the time halftime come. By the time halftime come, you know, Halftime.
Drew
Yeah.
Caresha
You gotta go in the locker room with the coach.
Drew
Yeah. We gotta talk about make adjustments.
Caresha
Hey, either we finna win this game, babe, or we finna hang these cleats up, right?
Drew
Let me ask you a question. When you heard that you were dating Stephon Diggs, how did that see. Oh. How did that come out?
Caresha
That's what I'm saying. I don't know. What was the question?
Drew
They said you were dating Stephan Diggs.
Caresha
Where that came from?
Drew
Internet.
Caresha
You can't believe everything you say on the Internet. You just said that, right? Oh, thank you.
Drew
So let me ask you a question. What's the youngest? You're 31. What's the youngest you date?
Caresha
25.
Drew
25. Okay. Mm. What have you learned about relationships? Being who you are, being a public figure. You mentioned you have kids, but what have you learned about relationships?
Caresha
Men lie and women lie.
Drew
You just accept it. So what do you believe? So if you believe men lie, women lie. So what do you believe to be true?
Caresha
Nothing. I don't know. I just think that, like, I think that you really have to date. You really have to find your person. I think, you know, you know your person when you get with the person. Like, it's really about the feeling, the connection with the bond that you share with a person. Like, y'all have to be on the same page. That's the only way it's gonna work. Anything else is just, women. I win. Like, that's some real. I learned that, like, everybody be lying.
Drew
And you don't even get mad about it. Huh.
Caresha
I'm just the type of person it's like, it is what it is. Yeah.
Drew
Born in Miami, raised in Miami. How did. Being raised in Miami, how did that shape the person that we see sitting here today?
Caresha
Ooh, it's a fast life. Everything is fast. And I think that, like, we go through so much at a young age that it made me the woman that I am. I think that, like, going to school, I dealt with the, you know, like, worries may hurt you, just everything that come at you in life. Like, my mama went to prison when I was younger. I had to raise my brother and sister. So I've been through the hardship that built me into, like, nobody can tear me down. I don't been through this shit in high school. Just being raised in Miami, like, coming from, like, my Brownlee, they sold drugs, you know, Like, I done been through everything in life, so it's like, it just molded me into who I am. Like, nothing can really break me. I done been through this. Like, I felt like I was raised off of hardship.
Drew
You mentioned your mom went to prison and you had to raise your siblings. Do you feel you was robbed of your childhood, that you didn't get an opportunity to be a teenager, a young woman?
Caresha
I appreciate it. I think that if I never been through that, I probably would have, like, not be able to handle what was dealt with me. Like, now, you know how, like, some people. You think about people that commit suicide, like, what made them commit suicide? They wasn't strong enough. They didn't have a mentality. They wasn't built for it. Like, they didn't know how to get to the next level. I think that, like, going through all that hardship at a young age, like, life is life, no matter how you shape it. You know what I'm saying? Like, you could just. You can't predict life. You can't say, like, I could have had the best childhood.
Drew
Right.
Caresha
God put me in that position to have me able to navigate where I'm at right now, and I think that I needed that.
Drew
Wow. What type of student were you? Were you a good girl in school or were you popular? So how were you in school?
Caresha

Because like my mom, she had a name for herself. Like my mom always dated like, you know, like the drug dealers and all of that. So she was kind of like tricking Trina. Like that was my God mom, right? And she just was one of those. She wasn't a rapper, but she grew up with the celebrities of Miami. So then she had a daughter.
Drew
You mentioned that Trina is your godmother. Is that why you got in the rap?
Caresha
Mm. Mm.
Drew
What Happened. Why'd you get in the rap?
Caresha
I ain't gonna lie. JT called me one time and was like, keresha, let's rap. I'm like, what? Let's do what? Who did jt, okay. She called me one time. I was like, that shit. She like, I used to have beef. We used to have beef in where we was from. And she wanted to make a diss track about these girls. But we end up going to the studio, making a song called. So she actually, how you go?
Drew
You gonna make a diss track about girls? Then somehow you make one of the FD dudes.
Caresha
I don't know. Cause the beat was like, daddy, we had Simple Kaia. Yeah, it was. We just started dissing.
Drew
Is it true you used to go to Trick Daddy pool parties? You didn't know?
Caresha
Not probably. Not like his adult pool parties, but I've been in his videos, but I never been to one of his pool parties.
Drew
What about Rick Ross? You know Ross?
Caresha
Yeah, I know Ross.
Drew
I like Ross.
Caresha
Ross used to hang with my brother Daddy, but, yeah, I know Ross.
Drew
So who came up with the idea of the City girls?
Caresha
So me and JT just. We was two friends, childhood friends. We started rapping, and then once we got assigned to qc, Coach K named us the City Girls.
Drew
And then. Cause you had city girls and then you had the hot boys.
Caresha
And then now he was just like, city girls, like every little from the city. That's true, though, right? Every 11 of them from the city.
Drew
Did you ever think that you would. So when you were growing up, you were in Miami and you were doing what you were doing. Did you ever think. Did you envision this? Cause what did you want to be as a child?
Caresha
A mortician.
Drew
Lord, this is where I want to be. A funeral. I mean, you always go have work.
Caresha
But damn, I wanted to be a mortician. I don't know why. I just wanted to know, like, what happened when you die. Like, life after death. I was just like, you still not going to know. I know, but I just felt like that would bring me closer. Like, I don't know, like, cutting my body.
Drew
You're not scared of dead people?
Caresha
They did. I mean, not like that. Like you did.
Drew
Yeah, but they can't hurt you. But they can make you hurt yourself.
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
You know, they have reflexes jump up.
Caresha
Yeah, they got a bit down.
Drew
That would be up out of that thing so quick. Growing up, what was your favorite group growing up?
Caresha
My favorite group growing up, Were you.
Drew
What's tlc? Swb?
Caresha
Escape swb. That's the I Hit song. It's Weekend My niece. I can hottie sing. Hey, I ain't got no business singing that song. Mm.
Drew
Mm. See, you held it down. You held the group down. When JT went to jail, did you give her a big check when she came home? What?
Caresha
I ain't gonna lie. I was broke as hell.
Drew
Damn.
Caresha
I told her. I was like, jt, listen, I ain't gonna be able to keep spitting this show money for you. Cause it's like. It's so much that come out like you. You know, if you got a lawyer, you gotta pay the lawyer. You've got a business manager, you gotta pay management, like, and you gotta split 50, 50. So I was making it by. But it wasn't crazy money at the time. You know, like, we'll get, like a little show. It's paid 30,000. You gotta do management, you gotta do lawyer, you gotta do this and that. So, I mean, she was able to come home to some money. But it wasn't like. I ain't finna say it like, yeah, I just gave her a big check.
Drew
No, no, no big check. But it was Drake that really helped put the city girls on, because he featured you guys on one of his songs.
Caresha
Mm.
Drew
Was that the big break that you guys got?
Caresha
Mm. In my feelings, yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Drake.
Drew
So obviously you say, shout out to Drake. Drake, your boy.
Caresha
I fuck with champagne, papi. Yeah, always. You know, I felt like Drake was just so genuine. Like, he just literally came. I remember when they told us, like, Drake was y'all on this song. We was like, what?
Drew
Right?
Caresha
We went in the studio, we recorded the song. You know, he did the video. He brought me out of New Orleans. We performed. I met him in Miami. He just always just, like, showed love and it was genuine.
Drew
So with that being said, if Kendrick call you and say he want you to jump on a song, you cool or.
Caresha
No, I don't think Kendrick would call me for a song, to just be honest.
Drew
So you don't think he gonna get no feature with Caresha? Nah, just stay with Drake. Drake put you down.
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
Yeah. Who's been your favorite artist? I mean, Usher, Lil Durk, Juicy J, Mooney, Doja, Lato, Cardi B, Lil Baby, Jacques, Jacques. Who's been your favorite artist?
Caresha
I ain't gonna lie. I love me some Usher.
Drew
You know what? I got this for you. You go to Usher's residency. You got a man.
Caresha
I wait.
Drew
Okay. He do.
Caresha
I'm not doing the cherries.
Drew
You're not doing the cherries. You ain't gonna let. You ain't gonna be grinding. You ain't gonna be backing it up on him.
Caresha
I mean, I've been to Usher. I done perform with Usher. I performed with Usher in Vegas, and I did back that upon Usher a couple of times.
Drew
When you had a man, what he say?
Caresha
Nothing. It's work.
Drew
That ain't work. That ain't no damn work.
Caresha
It is work. When you perform it, though, I think you gotta have, like, a company man. You gotta have a man that's like a businessman that just know that position. But I do like Usher. I love Sexyy Red. I feel like Sexyy Red. Just get the party going. I love Dochi.
Drew
You right.
Caresha
You look a mess.
Drew
Hoe Cardi is your girl too?
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
What's Cardi like behind the scenes?
Caresha
She got a good personality. Like, she cool, like Kyrie. Like, she like a real bitch, you know.
Drew
Is Meg still your favorite rap girlfriend?
Caresha
I love Meg.
Drew
I love Meg.
Caresha
I love Megan. We are Aquarius, so we just naturally connect.
Drew
Let me ask you this. The female rapper. There are a lot of you guys today. If you're not listening to your song, who you listening to?
Caresha
A lotto my birthday. What do I keep her?
Drew
Well, you know what? And I've asked some of these women this. I've had glow on and glow. Why do women have so much beef in the rap game?
Caresha
I think it's an ego thing. I think women have egos, and I think it's just getting to like a. You know, like, you Sometimes you just feel like if you showing too much love, you dick, right? And it just become like an ego thing. Like me, I'm just like a natural support. Like, if I with you, I with you. If I like your music, I like your music. I'm not looking at it like, oh, I'm. I'm doing this, I'm doing that. Like, if I with you, I'll with you.
Drew
You got caught in the middle of a beef because JT was beefing and that's your partner. And you ain't got no issue with these other ones. So you smack dab in the middle. How you navigate that?
Caresha
I just think that, like, it just depends on how deep the beef is and what the beef about. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's what it all boils down to. Like, if it's about some, then that shit about some bullshit. But if it's, like, deeper than rap, then it's like, you know, y'all need.
Drew
To figure this out, though. Don't you wish y'all could just, like, get in the room? I don't know if you got beef, but I'm saying y'all. And I use that term loosely, but don't you wish that the women that have beef could just, like, get in the room and figure this out?
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
And once you realize that, it ain't really that serious.
Caresha
I honestly feel like we all got a story. We all come from somewhere. Like, we all trying to make it out. We all trying to feed somebody. We all got, like, kids at this point. We too grown to be beefing. Cause at the end of the day, we ain't finna fight, right? We ain't finna see each other and really fight. So what the we doing, right? We just going back and forth on the Internet. We all got security. We ain't finna see each other. We ain't finna get. We ain't finna get dirty. So it's just, like, you know, it's just entertainment. And I just feel like we stronger together. So I wish everybody could come together.
Drew
You called DJ Akademics and that say, bro, why you speaking on women? You got a problem with him? You don't like him?
Caresha
I mean, I don't have a problem with him. I just feel like, as a blogger, I feel like everybody have a job to do. You get what I'm saying? Like, I just was saying that with the Shade Room, the Breakfast Club, like, this is your job, and it's all about how you speak on the topic. Like, you can say whatever you want to say about me, but you ain't got to call me a. You ain't got to call me a hoe. You could just say, like, you did all that. Yes. Like, you're done. You're this. It just be so personal. It's just like, I never met you a day in my life. I don't mind you doing your job as a blogger, Whatever. You.
Drew
So you don't like my music?
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
You could start calling me out of my dad.
Caresha
You could criticize me. You could say, whatever, because everybody have a right to obey. But when it get personal, like, yeah, I'm so glad you got shot at. And D. D, like, my car got shot up. And he like, damn. Yeah. Like, my car got shot up when I was six months pregnant. And when he broke the story, he was like, I thought you keep a baby clock with you. It's like, what's wrong with you? Like, I could have lost my life and my child life, you know? What I'm saying, like, you can talk about the story, but why it's so personal? I never met you. I never saw you in person. Like, why is it so personal? You know? And it's just like, even, like, as time went by, that was like, the first time that I really, like, noticed who he was. Cause it was, like, very hurtful. Like, I was just like, damn, I almost lost my life. And it was something that was just, like, in my face. And then it was just as time and time went by, he was just so disrespectful. And I'm just like, well, God damn. Like, everybody got an opinion. I can't put a gun to everybody head that got an opinion. But it's just like, you just take it so far. Like, it's like, yes. Excuse me. What's the problem? I would love to sit down and talk about it, though.
Drew
Would you have him on your podcast?
Caresha
I would, because I just want to know, like, what I ever done to you. You can feel the way you feel, but why is it so, like, why.
Drew
Does it seem so personal?
Caresha
Why it's so personal? You could tell me right now, like, Miami, you trash. I'm gonna ask you, like, what makes.
Drew
You think that way?
Caresha
Yeah. Or what can I do to do? Like, I'm gonna. We gonna have that conversation. But it's not like you. So it's like, oh, my God, you're a man.
Drew
Like, quality control won't release your music. Is it true they won't release your music? Because why do you think I'm not?
Caresha
Science equality.
Drew
You don't need it anymore?
Caresha
No, I don't know. I just think as an artist, I think that we get in our head, you know, because when you have so.
Drew
Much success on that freshman album.
Caresha
Yes.
Drew
Everybody be wanting that.
Caresha
They expect so much more. You get what I'm saying? Like, it becomes so much pressure. Like, you people really strip you away from your personality. Like, they'll love you and big you up for who you are. Like, I love caresha cause da da da da da da. And then like, after a while, they take you down for it. They don't like you for that reason.
Drew
Yeah, you need to evolve. You need to be something right?
Caresha
And then you will get in your head and you just start overthinking the process, and you just like, maybe I'm not good enough. And then it just become a whole thing. It's like, I'm not gonna say you get insecure, but you just, like, overthink the process, and it's Just like, you wanna please everybody, but you can't please everybody. And the same reason why they used to love you, they don't love you no more. So it's just like, you know, you start trying to, like, create new things and come up with new things, and then it's like, this ain't really me, but I'm trying something different. And it's just like, what if I do this? And it's just like, you gotta keep going back to the drawing board, right?
Drew
What have you learned about fame?
Caresha
You gotta just keep going, no matter what. They love you one minute, they hate you one minute. But you gotta just keep going. You gotta just. You gotta just stay consistent. You gotta put in the time, you gotta put in the effort. You gotta just go, no matter what.
Drew
What's the best thing about fame? What's the worst thing about it?
Caresha
The worst thing about it is no privacy. But the best thing about it is, I'm not gonna lie, like, when you go out there sometimes, like last night, I went to an event and I'm like, sometimes I feel like, damn, everybody just hate me. Like, the whole world. Just like, you say that I get in my moods while I feel like that. Like, I just be feeling like, damn, like, how I overcome this shit. Like, how I get to this point, like, I ain't do nothing to nobody. And then it's just like, when I.
Drew
Get outside, like, are you reading the Internet or people. Because it's hard for me to believe that people that interact with you, that see you give you the impression that they hate you.
Caresha
That's where I was going with it. So, like, on the Internet, it's just. I just. I feel like them.
Drew
I don't know, it ain't real. They fake.
Caresha
And then, like, last night, so many people stopped me that it kind of like I left in tears a little bit. I'm just like, oh, my God. Like, I really gotta get outside. I gotta really get out the Internet. They was like, keep going. We love you. We here to support you. Like, we love you.
Drew
And even the haters on the Internet, when they see you in person, they wanna take a picture, get an autograph.
Caresha
Yes. But, like, the love outside last night just gave me that reassurance that I need. Cause I ain't gonna lie, the hate just be a little loud sometimes, you know?
Drew
Yeah. Hate is always louder than the applause.
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
Is fame what you thought it would be?
Caresha
Absolutely not.
Drew
What did you think it would be?
Caresha
Lights, camera, action.
Drew
You didn't realize that so much came with fame.
Caresha
It's very like, you really gotta put up a Persona. Like, it's just, ooh, this industry, baby. Mm.
Drew
Mm. Do you feel like society pushed women to get cosmetic surgery? Be it bbl, fillers, things of that nature.
Caresha
Mm.
Drew
Why you feel that?
Caresha
Because it's just like, when you got a natural body, you look like a little boy. You don't got no sex appeal. You this and you that. When you do get the bbl, it's like, oh, my God. Your body fake. It's like, if you natural, they hate you. If you got a bbl, they hate you. What do you want? Like, people, I'mma just use this. Like Lizzo, for instance.
Drew
Yeah.
Caresha
Everybody was like, oh, my gosh, she's so fat. She looks so good now. Now it's like, oh, my God. Ew.
Drew
She done had surgery. She done got life.
Caresha
Yeah. Like, oh, my God, she need to stop. Like, pick a side. What do you want?
Drew
Who? They told me, oh, Cash had Cash Dog. Cash dog told me men getting plastics are getting surgery now.
Caresha
They are. And I hate that.
Drew
What they getting?
Caresha
They getting the little ass.
Drew
The ab. It's ab. So they getting the.
Caresha
Yes. And you can see it. Cause, you know, like, I'm gonna tell you a secret. When you get lipo, you have, like, two little dots.
Drew
Dots.
Caresha
Like, as a man, don't do that. I just already had, like, the little.
Drew
So you be. You be looking too. You be looking down, I be looking.
Caresha
I be like, damn, I could spot a fake ad from a mile away. I'm on your ass. I don't like that bad. But I'm not the one in charge, though.
Drew
You don't.
Caresha
Mm. Mm.
Drew
Can I ask you this? Because a lot of you mentioned on the Internet, why do you feel like a portion of our community lives and looks to tear people like yourself, mine and others in the community that have had a level of success, why do they feel they need to tear us down?
Caresha
I don't know. It's. Cause it's like we are toward, like, bad people, not supposed to be successful. That when we see white people, we just think, like, it's normal. Like, everything they do is normal, Right? Like, they could. Oh. Like they could just do anything. It's like, yeah, they was raised like that. They was born money. It's like, it's natural to them. Like, a white person could do coke, and it's like, they rich. They do coke. A black person do coke, and it's just like, oh, you a cokehead. You know, like, it's just like, it's a, it's a stereotype of like white people is just like borrowing money. This is what they do. Like they supposed to get, they supposed.
Drew
To get money, but we're not supposed to get.
Caresha
Yeah. And it's like when a black person do it, we just get towed down for every little thing. It's like, we not supposed to have it. We're not supposed to have it. We sold our soul. We can't do it, we can't have fun. Like, I could be right now just having a good time. Like, oh, she twerking. A white person could be it up. Oh, she's having a ball. Why I ain't having a ball? Like, why I gotta be twerking? You know what I'm saying? Like, I think that like, you know, it's just the way that it is.
Drew
They celebrate you and then they like, she doing too much.
Caresha
Yeah, yeah. A white person can dead ass do drugs. It's absolutely normal. Black person do drugs, they get tore down for it. They need. It's just like, oh my God, like, what's the difference?
Drew
How do we work together? And that's one of the biggest things. Like, man, it seems like they work together and they don't care if one has more than the other. As long as you getting yours, I'm getting mine.
Caresha
We happy, they protect each other.
Drew
But it seems like they could go.
Caresha
Shoot up a school, they gonna take em to McDonald's, baby. We shoot up a school, we dead upon arrival. I don't know. I don't know if that's how they taught, but they just stick together.
Drew
Why can't we stick together?
Caresha
I don't know what, but I don't know. Like, I don't know what it is with black people. It's just like they, we can't stand to see each other just thriving. I don't know if it's like a. I post the habits.
Drew
I want you to get high, but I don't want you to get too high.
Caresha
Yeah, I want you and I don't.
Drew
Want you to get high to me now.
Caresha
Right, right.
Drew
And it's like, look, I work my tail off to be successful. You're mad about results you didn't get for the work you didn't put in, Right? I work my tail off. I work non stop. You say I work too much and I see why you're single. But when you see me benefit, some of the things now I had to sell my soul, but what happened to the work that I was doing that you saw that I was Doing Amen.
Caresha
Can the pastor preach?
Drew
You get that?
Caresha
Yes.
Drew
So let me ask you a question. When you were in this. Your accent. I mean, you very Miami ish. Have. Did they try to change that? Did they try to get you to talk?
Caresha
I'm not gonna lie.
Drew
No, really? They let you be you?
Caresha
I'm not gonna lie. I can honestly say Coach K, that's one thing he, like, I'm the type of person. I'm always trying to, like, better myself. I ain't gonna lie if I face any type of criticism I take. Like, if a person's saying, like, she articulate herself, I'm like, okay, let me go get a speaking coach. I'm always trying to better myself. Like, I'm never going to, like, disregard what people telling me. Like, I feel like that's the only way you can grow. So when I always be like, I want to just, like, they like, nah, Miami, like, you got to be you. You would never got here if it was for you. We came to you for this reason. Like, don't change yourself. And I'd be like, really? For real? Because it just seemed like it's just like, nah. So it's just like, mm, mm.
Drew
I think that's the best thing. I went through that same thing when I got on television. I felt I needed to talk a certain way. I need to articulate and enunciate and have the alliteration of everything. And you asked me what I was doing before, when I was warming my voice up to get ready to do this interview, and. But it was once I saw, like, I embraced who I was. I'm from the South. I'm from rural South Georgia. I have a heavy cloak of dialect.
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
It's who I am.
Caresha
I think that was, like, one of my hardest challenges for the podcast. Me, like, being an interviewer. Cause it's like, I'm so hard on myself with my accent, and I'm, like, such a shy speaker. Like, if the cameras wasn't here, we could have a whole conversation. I'm just, like, articulate myself so well. But, like, once the cameras get to roll and I get to, like, stumbling over my words, trying to figure out, am I saying the right way? Am I using the right sentences? And I think that, like, that was, like, one of the hardest hardships that I had as an interviewer. Like, trying to just be so political and said that, right.
Drew
Be somebody you're not.
Caresha
And you can't.
Drew
Because at the end of the day, you can be you better than anybody else can be you. When you try to be somebody else, you can do it for a couple of minutes, but after a while, you're gonna revert back because that's who you are. That's what you know.
Caresha
Right. Like, season one, I had so much fun. I was just out there getting into the smoke. Season two, I try to, like, switch it up and try to just be so professional that I was just like, you know what? I gotta go back to being me.
Drew
So what did you think when Coco Gauff shouted you out? When she say fluid, she said period.
Caresha
I'd be like, I know that's right. Like, fluid out. Fluid out sounds so much better than flowing out.
Drew
Yeah.
Caresha
Like, I got fluid out, you know, like. And I just be missing those days when I was just able to just be myself, have fun, to be free, you know?
Drew
You ever been flown out? You ever been flew out?
Caresha
Always. Damn surely did. Mm.
Drew
You catch that plane, huh?
Caresha
Thank you.
Drew
Same day.
Caresha
Not the same day. I, like, you can't call me the same day unless we've been, like, we locked in. We've been together for a while, but, like, if we just met. I need time to get myself together.
Drew
Okay.
Caresha
And I gotta really think, like, do I wanna go and see this person over here?
Drew
Yeah. You know, once he got the kids. Okay. You got kids? Got the kids situated. I'll see y'all.
Caresha
I'll be thinking about this. This is Jenny Garth from I do part two. You could have lost 10 pounds already.

Business music podcasting so what is the thing? What is the number one thing that you learned about business?
Caresha
You gotta make sure your business is straight. You gotta have a lawyer, you gotta read other contracts. You gotta make sure that you, like, own everything. I think that ownership is so important. I think that like when I first became a rapper and when I first started getting money, I just want the money. I ain't give a what the contract said. I was signing that eyes closed, right? Like, I just, as long as I had my money, I just felt like. But now, like once you really get into the business and you know the business, you need to make sure like ownership is everything. You get equity, like, that's most important, like longevity, like, you know, making sure that like you don't even have to work again. You still don't get paid.
Drew
Right. What's the one thing that you wish you have learned or you know, you know now that you had known when you first got into this business, like.
Caresha
You need a good lawyer. You need a good lawyer and make sure you know what the fuck them contracts say. Cause if not pay, pay. Hey, you gonna be fighting for your life and you'll be fighting. Damn that. Hello.
Drew
What have you learned about selling product? Because you got your board game. Is there anything else you sell right now?
Caresha
I sell my board game, I got merch. But marketing is key. It is like, I'm not gonna lie, marketing is gonna sell the product. Like you can, you can just. I could see a commercial. I could just see like just marketing. It's like, God damn, I want that product just based off of the marketing of the product. And I think that like marketing is key.
Drew
You have a marketing team. So how do you sell your board game? You put it on your site.
Caresha
Yeah, like, I do it on Instagram, I sell it on Amazon, I Normally, just like, right now, I do all my stuff through social media.
Drew
Yeah. Have you tried to get it into, like, Target and other.
Caresha
So right now it's a drinking game and it's like a little.
Drew
Yeah, yeah. Drink. Yeah.
Caresha
So, you know, it can't really go into, like, Target right now. Cause it's a drinking game and it's like 21 or older. It's a little sexual, so it gotta go in, like, sex stores and stuff like that.
Drew
You look at, like, women that have had success. You look at Rihanna, you look at Kim K, you look at some of them. Is that kind of the business model that's kind of the direction that you wanna have?
Caresha
Like, yes, I'm not gonna lie. Like, Kim Kardashian and Rihanna is what I aspire it to be. Like, I love music. Don't get me wrong. Like, music is not my end goal. Like, I really feel like I was put here to be like, the next Kim K. The next Rihanna, like, to sell my products.
Drew
Right. The podcast. What's been your favorite moment on your podcast?
Caresha
I ain't gonna lie. Kevin Gates, bitch. Being over free thieving host Kevin Gates, like, he was my first real interview and he came and he just. He brought the energy, he brought the smoke. Like, when I'm saying, you ready to get to the smoke? And he ain't hold back. I don't think that that podcast could have popped off no other way besides him, because he was ready for everything. Like, more guests that came on, they was like, a little more reserved, and, you know, they wanna know the questions beforehand. He was just like, what' what's up? I'm here.
Drew
Yeah.
Caresha
And that was my favorite. That was my favorite interview.
Drew
Mariah the scientist did reveal on your podcast that she used to date Lil Yachty.
Caresha
Mm.
Drew
Did you know that beforehand?
Caresha
Yeah, I did.
Drew
A lot of people didn't know that, did they?
Caresha
No. Mm. Mm.
Drew
Why do you think she revealed that? Because she was thug.
Caresha
I think it's just a part of her story, you know, like, she made a song about it. And I think that I did my research and my homework, so when I was able to just really bring it out of her, I think she was ready to tell the truth.
Drew
Again. We talk about this hate.
Caresha
Okay.
Drew
You won the best podcast. You won it twice. And you're like, hold on. She ain't do but two episodes. She ain't been able for this. And I've been blah, blah, blah.
Caresha
Right, okay. I'mma put it into perspective. Right? Okay. You see how when. When Cat Williams Came on here, and he sunk that mother through the roof. And that was the most talked about that could get you the best podcast, because that was the most talked about episode of the season. You know what I'm saying? Like, you brought something new. You brought something different. He came over here and set this motherfucker off like a firecracker.
Drew
He did. He did.
Caresha
So it's just like, I felt like at the time, my podcast was just different. Like, I'm on there, we doing hookah, we playing games. It was just like a whole different vibe. It wasn't just like the regular podcast where it's just audio. It was also visuals. It's also a static. It's also just the style of my interview. Like, how I was bringing people on, how I was asking the questions, like, I'm just dead ass. Like, why this person take your car back? Huh? Huh?
Drew
Right?
Caresha
That was what everybody was tuned into now, you know, people move into something so different. Like, they'll be on this today and be on something tomorrow.
Drew
Correct.
Caresha
That was just now, and it was in real time, and I just think that's what it was.
Drew
They'll be hating. Huh?
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
You going back and forth with Joe Budden. Are y'all cool now?
Caresha
I really don't. Like, he's older, you know, I don't really know him neither. And I just feel like I don't have no problem. I can't beef with me. I'm a woman, you know? Like, I'm in my 30s. I don't know how old he are. That's a man. I ain't got nothing for him.
Drew
Acting. You want to get into acting?
Caresha
I do. I really want to.
Drew
You got a lot going. You want to have a lot going on. You got your board game going on. You got your career going on. You want to, like.
Caresha
I want to do everything. I feel like the sky's the limit. I feel like everybody always box me in. I feel like I'm the underdog. I can't rap, I can't act. I can't do this, I can't do that. And I feel like I'm just like one of God's favorite. He always just every time they say no, he say, yeah, right. Every time he say no.
Drew
Cause you was on bmf, so what was that like?
Caresha
It was cool. You nervous? I was so nervous because I had such a serious role. Like, it wasn't like, okay, you could go and be Markisha or you could go and just be who you are. I had to really tap into, like, Emotions like, your husband just got killed, right? And you have to ask this person, like, where's your husband? He's never coming home again. And I try to like tap into reality. Like I said, like losing my child father. I try to like go into that so my tears was real. But the emotions just didn't.
Drew
Just didn't. Mm, mm. So it didn't come out like you wanted to.
Caresha
Right? I tried like 15 times though.
Drew
But you know, that's 50's show. And 50, you know, to his credit, he be putting his people on. I love what he's done. He's building that big studio, I think it's in Shreveport. It's gonna have a production company. So what's 50 like?
Caresha
I'm not gonna lie. I didn't meet him on set, but I called him because they sent me before the episode aired. Like they sent me to review it and I called him, I said 50. I don't like this. Like, it was horrible. Like, please don't put me out there like that. Like I don't want to face no backlash. And he was like, you know what? Like, you gotta start from somewhere. Like this putting you in the game. Like, people will always have something to say. Like you gotta start from somewhere. Like what they talking about? Like, you gonna be good. I like it. Like, get out your head, start worrying about what the people gonna say. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, this gonna open doors for you. And when I had that conversation, I was just like, damn you right?
Drew
Right. Would you do reality tv?
Caresha
Oh, I tried it. I did. I. I had a reality TV show and I just felt like it's not really reality, you know, like it's. It's a mix of reality with a little drama. And I feel like if I'm ever going to do reality tv, it have to be reality. Like, I want to sell my life. Like, I don't want to make a storyline, make something traumatic. Like I'm not really real.
Drew
That's not real.
Caresha
I'm not really into that.
Drew
You mentioned earlier that you were involved with a drive by while you were pregnant. Were you the intended target or they were after your baby's father? You're not sure?
Caresha
I honestly don't know, but it was the craziest experience ever. And I just know that God is real and God love me, because there was like. All I know is I was leaving the studio, I stopped to a stop sign, I heard gunshots and I'm like, oh my God, somebody's shooting. And I like smelt the gunfire. I'm like, they shooting at me. I'm like, big, pregnant.
Drew
Wow.
Caresha
Jump out the car. And she started running. Hold up.
Drew
Why'd you just take off?
Caresha
Because they shot my tires out my car. It was shot up, like, 22 times.
Drew
They shot your car 22 times, and they didn't hit you?
Caresha
Once I show you the pictures.
Drew
Wow.
Caresha
I'm gonna show you the pictures after this interview. I promise you.
Drew
Did you. So you're like, damn, they shooting. Damn, they shooting at me.
Caresha
Cause it was so.
Drew
Like, it's real, huh?
Caresha
It felt like. Like when I heard it. Cause I'm at a stop sign. I just heard, like, gunshots. I'm like, damn, they shooting. But it wasn't until I smelled the gunpowder that it was like they were shooting at me.
Drew
Right.
Caresha
But, like, in the instance, it just sounded so far away.
Drew
Right, Right. So you take off running. Did they follow? Did.
Caresha
My phone was dead. That's why I don't think it was for me. Because once I got in the car and started running, the gunshot stopped.
Drew
Right.
Caresha
I don't know if they said I was pregnant or what, but once I got out of the car, like, my first instance was like, just get out of the car. Cause the car wouldn't go right. Got out, and I ran, and it was just like.
Drew
Did they ever find out who did it?
Caresha
Mm.
Drew
I don't. Would you ever move away from Miami?
Caresha
No.
Drew
You got to stay at the bottom.
Caresha
I love Miami. I done travel so many places, and I just, like. It's nothing like Miami. I've been there my whole 31 years. My mom's side of the family is from there, and my dad's side of the family is from there. So my whole family is from Miami. It's not like my mom is from Miami. My dad is from somewhere else. Like, my whole family is in Miami, and I've been there my whole life, and I just love it.
Drew
You mentioned you're a mom. You have two kids. What type of mom are you?
Caresha
I'm like, I'm very.
Drew
You're a pushover mom.
Caresha
No, I got good kids, thank God. My son is 11. My daughter is 5. My son is so respectful. He's like a. He loves school. Like, he loves school. Like, he do his homework. He made A's and B's. Like, I don't have to be on him by nothing. So I just feel like, by the grace of God, like, I'm just. Just get to be a regular mom. Like, I check on him. He talked to me about things like, just. I ain't no pushover though, right? Hey, it ass corn on punishment.
Drew
Damn. Is it true that you know your baby daddy, you talk to the women that try to. That's gonna date him to let him know what's going on in you and his situation?
Caresha
Wait, wait.
Drew
He said that your baby daddy who, like, when he dates your oldest son. Father's deceased, right? So this new one, y'all together. Y'all not together. So you talk. So what's it like? Like he's dating, you're dating. Do you introduce your people to him?
Caresha
He ain't going for nothing. I am not gonna lie. He don't want.
Drew
He don't want no part of that, huh?
Caresha
No, he don't like nobody I'm with. He ain't cool. He ain't nothing. He just. That's just not baby daddy that. She's my baby.
Drew
But do you talk to his people?
Caresha
I don't even care. I ain't even gonna lie. Like, I.
Drew
But they gonna be around your daughter.
Caresha
No, they're not.
Drew
Whoa, whoa, damn.
Caresha
No, not like that. Like, I'm the type of. I'm the type of woman that is just like, I trust him enough that anybody he bring around my child, I know that they good with it. I'm not into all that little girl childish thumbbring, da, da, da, da. But I'm not really too fun of who he dating. Like, that's on him. I don't even give a right. Good luck.
Drew
What about kids on social media? Your son has a social media account. You allow him on social media?
Caresha
Yeah, he got a social media account, but he don't post. My kids is kids. I don't like them on social media. Social media is too. They got too many opinions. Yeah, about my kids, baby.
Drew
Yeah. You don't play about mine.
Caresha
I'm going to hell. Hell in jail about mine.
Drew
I mean, do you feel kids are off limits on social media or they should be off limits?
Caresha
Yeah, I think so. I think that kid is just innocent.
Drew
You know, but, you know, you see Lil baby and his baby's mother, they having to respond. Do you think that's a mistake? Just let it. I mean. Or. I'm sure if somebody. It's easy to say, you should just let it go. But that's my child and I'm gonna be protected.
Caresha
And that's what I'm saying. I hate that they in a position to even have to defend their kids.
Drew
Right?
Caresha
Those kids are kids. Let them express themselves. You know what I'm saying? These not teenagers. This is a kid that we're talking about probably in elementary school. It's not a 16, 17 year old. Like, why do I have to get on the Internet and defend my child? The Internet are so negative that it's. They do people behind a computer not saying anything right. I can't deal with that. I can't deal with that. I would have been nothing. Like, oh my God. Mm, mm.
Drew
When your oldest son father was tragically had his life taken. And you realize that now. Damn, I gotta raise him on my own. Was he old enough to remember? His dad doesn't know his dad. Was he old enough?
Caresha
So he was turning five. Turning five. And now he's 11. He didn't really understand at the time. Like when I had to explain it to him, he was like, my dad is with God now. And I'm like, yeah, but now he understand. I think that he sit with his emotions and his thoughts and he's. He had like a. His dad raised him. So he's able to like know that his dad was in his life.
Drew
But yeah, mom went to prison. So let me ask you a question. Your mom go to you, so now you gotta take over. Cause now you gotta be the mom. Did you have any resentment towards your mom?
Caresha
I wouldn't say resentment, no. Because I saw my mom. Like, I know that my mom went to prison. Her mother was on drugs her whole life. My mom said, like, she never saw her mother not on drugs.
Drew
Okay.
Caresha
So it just like me as a mom, it's just me just understanding. Like seeing my grandmother on drugs, I understood why she had to do what she did so I could never judge her. Cause it's like I had a beautiful life as a child, you know, like, my mom did what she needed to do. So I can never blame her because she didn't have a mom, you know, so it was just like, I understood it. Like I was able to like, understand. Like, I'm from Miami, right? My grandma was on drugs. Like, my mama had to do what she had to do.
Drew
Were you in a diversity relationship?
Caresha
Yes. Yes, I was. And some I won't wish on nobody. I think that domestic violence is like real. And I was young. You think that, like, I won't say that you think that it's love, but it's like when you go through it the first time, you may think like, oh, my God, he love me. He put his hands on me. But it's like after a while you just learned that. It's like, that is not okay.
Drew
Right?
Caresha
And you have to get that person help. You have to. And it's something that, like, you should never tolerate. Like the first time you gotta leave.
Drew
What would you say with someone in a similar situation? You went through it at a very young age. So what would you tell a young woman that's going through a very similar situation?
Caresha
Leave. Cause I think that, like, oftentimes you feel like it's love. Like, you think, like, oh, this person love me. That's not love. And I think that, like, you should leave.
Drew
Was it hard for you to leave?
Caresha
It was, it was hard for me to leave because again, I was young, I felt like it was love. And it's just like I tolerated it. And then I thought, like, the last time was the last time, I was like, you know what? I can't do this no more. Like, it's.
Drew
Did he beg you to come back?
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
And you're like, nah, I'm good.
Caresha
Yeah. I was like, nah. But I got him help though.
Drew
Did you?
Caresha
Yeah.
Drew
Wow.
Caresha
He had to go to anger management classes and he came back and was like, you know what? Thank you for that. I needed that. Like, I needed that help. Like, if it wasn't for you doing what you did, like, I wouldn't, you know, like, it was able. It was able to help me grow.
Drew
Have you ever dated a man that was jealous of your success?
Caresha
I won't say jealous, but a little insecure.
Drew
It's hard dealing with you though, man.
Caresha
It is. Because it's like sometimes I be need you to understand that. It's just like, it's just work. Like, it's not. It's not serious. It's really not. Like, I feel like as an entertainer, I want to be able to entertain, to be able to do my job. I don't want to be held back. That's the only way I'm be able to thrive.
Drew
How's your mental health now, mentally?
Caresha
I'm not going to lie. 2025. Thank God. I feel good. I'm finally in a happy space. Like, last year was like one of the darkest time of my life. And I just, I was so excited to turn 30. Like, I was like, oh my God, I'm turning 30. I'm going to be 30. And it was just like the minute January 2024 hit, it was the worst year of my life.
Drew
Why was it so bad?
Caresha
Just overcoming just everything that I was going through. Like, you know, just my relationship, just my career, just everything. It was just like a lot at one time. And I was just going through everything, trying to navigate. And this year I'm just taking control. Like, I'm just having fun, getting back to myself. I'm in my back and I'm just like, I'm having a ball. I'm 31. I'm going to enjoy this year.
Drew

Caresha
Yeah, I'm at peace.
Drew
