Can I tell you about how this is the most problematic bitch in the world?

Wait. Oh, shit. That's how we're starting, Emma. So this was not on my outline. I didn't know you were problematic, but
Maya The Don
I didn't know neither.

Back in May, I hosted an event with Kennedy Ryan in a church in the front row. The closest person to us was Maya, who loves to read Kennedy.
Mandy B
Okay, thank you.
Maya The Don
Thank.
Weezy
He was very excited to see Maya, too. And so was everybody throughout Kennedy talking in this church. Maya would be like, that's right, bitch. And then at one point, Kennedy started talking about. Somebody asked her a question about what to do. She's like, you know, you have to protect your heart. Because I write the woman first and then the men that deserve them. Cause they be fucking playing.
Mandy B
I'm like, them niggas be playing.
Weezy
No, bitch. The point is, we were in a church.
Mandy B
I mean, okay, but. But I'm not gonna lie. We can't say bitch in church. We can't say nigga in church, dawg.
Maya The Don
Wasn't Mary Magdalene a hoe?
Mandy B
I like, that is the most quantified line. Wasn't Mary Magdalene. Wasn't it the oldest discussion.
Maya The Don
Who told y' all to have that discussion in the church? You read the book, bitch.
Weezy
Maya, let me tell you something.
Maya The Don
You read the motherfucker.
Mandy B
What really pissed me off, first of
Weezy
all, she asked me this. I was so excited, right? I'm like, oh, my God. And especially because I get to read it early. Da da da. They rolled out that location, and I removed Kennedy from the email, and it was just her team. And I said, just want to confirm the correct address for me. I'm pulling up a church. It definitely said AME Church. I said, just want to make sure. Is it an event space?
Mandy B
Are you ready? Do you not remember our first show in Boston?
Weezy
Yep, babe.
Mandy B
Now we go to this venue, and we go downstairs where the dressing room's supposed to be, and there are crosses. There are Pews. There are Bibles. And we could not believe that we got booked in a motherfucking church for horrible decisions.
Maya The Don
Wow.
Mandy B
They clearly needed the money. Maybe the congregation wasn't tithing. I don't know.
Maya The Don
I'm cracking up.
Mandy B
Would you perform at a church? Like, have you ever been to a venue and you're like, I don't know if they know who are.
Weezy
Seattle, we did a venue.
Maya The Don
Remember?
Weezy
It was stained glass.
Mandy B
Yes.
Maya The Don
I feel like it's different for me, but, like, performing in a church, I might, like, combust. Like, I might explode. I don't know if I can perform the types of things.
Weezy
Do you know remember how hot that day was?
Maya The Don
Yes, it is. I was like, I'm hot.
Weezy
I'm burning it off.
Mandy B
Mind you. My mind. The way you just said, I might come bust. I'm taking. I'm taking nut. I'm like, come bust. But that's a one. That's one word, and that means explode. Yeah, okay. Cause I'm like, girl, you nasty, girl. We didn't even get to the topics yet.
Weezy
Maya, I have a few questions for you. Because, I mean, you're definitely New York legend, but for the girls across the pond and the ones in the Midwest, somewhere in Kentucky that are like, maya? Who the hell's Maya? Can you tell those people who you are, where you're from, what kind of music you make, but also where you
Mandy B
got started before music? Because girlies might know you from before.
Maya The Don
Yeah, the girlies might know me from teaching them how to put on a blush.
Mandy B
Hello.
Maya The Don
Hello.
Weezy
I didn't know that.
Maya The Don
Oh, yeah.
Mandy B
Okay, so tell you.
Maya The Don
I started off as a makeup artist. I was a makeup artist. And then Covid happened, so I couldn't do people makeup. Okay, I'm gonna just do it on myself. Did it on myself, Go viral bunch of times, talking shit.
Weezy
Never mind. Never mind. Yes, I did.
Maya The Don
And then I was like, I hate this. It's time to do what I really want to do. And I started to make music, like, silently, while, like, still doing my little makeup stuff. And I was just making music, making music behind the scenes. And then I was like, all right, I'm a drop a song finally. And that's kind of how it happened. Like, long story short, like, I was doing makeup, and then I said, okay, this is not sustainable for me. I don't want to do this.
Weezy
But in the pandemic, how the fuck did you make a career out of making music?
Maya The Don
Because you couldn't perform no more by then. This is like, when people start going Back outside and like by the time I start like, you know, we still like wearing masks, but like, people could fly, you know.
Weezy
Last night, yo, you was doing a show with masks. Bitches had masks on.
Maya The Don
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I'm like, by now it's like 20, 23. Like it's over with. People act like it doesn't exist, you know?
Mandy B
Okay. Can I ask you a question? I always wanted to know.
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Mandy B
So Weezy was just talking to another creator and was like, the creator said, I get paid from these brands because I say and I wear them and I talk about them online. Do you get an unlimited lifetime supply from Telfar? I need to know because that to me is a song that I think viral.
Maya The Don
That's like question, you know what I mean?
Mandy B
Like, do you get Telfar for Life, bitch? Cause if you do, I'm about to make a song of a couple for
Maya The Don
a couple shits, you know. Like after that I had. Cause Telfar was so early. Yes. Like, I dropped the song and probably like five days later, he's dming me. Like, what's going on? So like we, we have like a real friendship. I really, really, I've never met him,
Weezy
but everybody says he's such a vibe.
Maya The Don
He's incredible. The sweetest.
Mandy B
I hear only good things. Like, it's incredible. He's someone that not only black, but because of how people talk about him, I want to support.
Maya The Don
No, he's seriously incredible. Like, you know when he opened up his store, the flagship store, he went to Canal and was giving them the bags. Giving them the bags like he's a nutcase. And I just love it. Like, he is incredible and he's always supporting me and I really, really appreciate him. So, like, he could give me free bags for life and I would still show up and purchase, and I do still purchase from him just because it matters, you know what I'm saying? Like, of course they'll send me something, you know, here and there. But I support my friend.
Weezy
I recall, really, that was the first time I ever recognized in my life that I was carrying a black owned bag.
Maya The Don
Yeah, I mean, it was a symbol of something.
Mandy B
But you making that song, when the girlies rap about Chanel, the niggas rap about.
Maya The Don
But that was intentional, you know what I'm saying? Cause at the time it's like, nah, I want this bag. Like, what was everybody wearing it? And I was trying to get it, it was so hard to get. And it just made me like, yeah, what now? I need this you know, I remember telling n like, you gonna buy me a telfar? Like it was real life.
Weezy
Wait, so you didn't have a telfar
Maya The Don
when you made the song? No, when I made the song, I had four.
Mandy B
Okay.
Maya The Don
I had already purchased four. Yeah, yeah. Know what I'm saying?
Weezy
But where are you from in New York?
Maya The Don
Brooklyn.
Weezy
Okay. And like, what type of Latina are you?
Maya The Don
Puerto Rican.
Weezy
It's about to spill on me. Okay? I'm like, we do light skin girl. We do our whole lives, we be no speaking.
Maya The Don
No, but I forgot what I was saying. Oh, yeah, but no, it was real life. I really wanted the bag. I was telling n like, you want buy me a telfar bag? And it was. That's why I wrote about it. And like, I end up writing the song, cuz it was just my real life. That's where I was. I'm like, in my selfie, like. But I am four deep. I'm in my fucking selfie.
Mandy B
Like, how was. Is that the most expensive thing you've asked niggas to buy you? Sorry, let's just get into the tea now. What's the most expensive thing you've asked? Cause a telfar bag is like 250. Sometimes 4 if you want the big one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But affordable, essentially.
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Mandy B
What's like the most you've asked for, though?
Maya The Don
I don't ask niggas for nothing.
Mandy B
Oh.
Maya The Don
If I have to ask you. Not my type. Ooh. I think that's it.
Mandy B
Okay.
Maya The Don
Yeah. I'm not like a big asker. I'm not like, I don't like niggas. Like, who could give me something? I am the nigga with something. You know what I'm saying? Period.
Weezy
Let's talk about that for a moment. Because we've had so many. I'm just thinking, for example, passport Cudi. I don't know if you know who that is. She's one of our friends. Love her. And at the time that she came on, she was telling bitches like, this is how you get a little, right? How you start slow. And one of the things I remember saying when she was talking about nails, I was like, I feel like if I ask for it, I sound bummy. And she's like, but you have to. And I could be wrong. This was maybe seven years ago, but something about her saying, yeah, but you need to see how far the generosity will go. Is it simple? Do they throw it? Blah, blah, blah. So when a man has been generous with you, what if you don't like it? What if you want more, if you're not asking, how's it. How's it coming? Generosity. Generosity. Even a thing that excites you.
Maya The Don
Yeah. I mean, maybe not excite, but it's definitely an attribute that I appreciate from men, you know? But I think the thing with me is I'm very particular with who I deal with. What are you gonna get?
Mandy B
We are.
Maya The Don
I'm very particular. And if I have to ask for your generosity or, like, ask you to do things for me, like any type of acts of service, you just not my type, because I'm not interested in teaching a man how to be one.
Mandy B
That's your love language, though. Acts of service.
Maya The Don
I wouldn't say that. I think. I think maybe, like, quality time. Yeah. And acts of service, I will say, but it's not just, like, buying me something. You know what I'm saying? Like, I could mention, like, oh, fuck. Like, I ordered on my order, my Instacart order, they forgot my chia seeds. And you come to my house with my chia seeds because you thinking about me.
Mandy B
No, no, that's not even getting you.
Maya The Don
No, that's not act of services.
Mandy B
That's an act of service to me. What I. The older we get as women, the more we can't afford our own bills. Acts of service and quality time become the two things that it's like, I shouldn't have to pull that from you as a man, because most men now, because of patriarchy, right? Women are coming out, first date. These are my bills. This is what I need paid. Yuck. And what's crazy is men. Men listening. I'm curious for you, too, but acts of service and quality time are my top two. Then physical touch, because I need that dick.
Weezy
Hello.
Mandy B
And then. And then it's gift giving, and then it's affirmations. I know I'm lit. I don't need you to tell me that.
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Mandy B
But for me, the older I get, all of my friends want acts of service and quality time. Those at least top two for you. What are yours?
Weezy
Physical touch.
Mandy B
I mean, clearly you're horny all the time.
Weezy
Like, I don't know if anyone was at the show back in a while ago, and my man even said it on stage. There was a. We had to play a little threesome game. And one girl took her hand and went like this. And he was like, oh, yeah, he was. And he said on the mic, like, physical touch is my thing. To the point where. Maya, this. I've never even said this on the show. This was so Crazy physical touch is my number one in his right. We were fucked up at a club. We went elsewhere. And he's like, I want to tell you something. This is two years into dating. I don't. I hate how you don't want to touch enough. It's starting to drive me crazy. Like, I need more. And I was like, what? I'm always touching you. We didn't even know our physical touch looked different. I do things like this. Maybe in the car or a hand. My foot is on you.
Mandy B
I do that.
Weezy
He wants more. He wants to be gripped on me. He wants me to have my ass on him. Like he'd like to be gripped the fuck up. And he's like, yeah, that ain't enough.
Mandy B
Wait, wait. I don't think people talk about that, how much you want. Not only that, how we view fucking love languages differently. You just said, oh. And I said, you thought that was a gift. She's like, no, I ordered this thing. I let my partner know how upset it was that I didn't have this thing. And so he brought it. So to me, I thought you'd like to cause what it is.
Maya The Don
I'm baby. I'm the birthday. I'm the baby. I'm the birthday. I love. I'm baby. I need to be taken care of. You know what I'm saying? I'm oldest daughter. I'm like. I'm a business myself. I'm always in charge. I'm always delegating something. I want to turn my brain off and go like this. When I'm with a man, I don't understand. I just want to be limp.
Mandy B
So even this, I think you would look at it as a gift. I didn't. So last night, I'm with yomi. I'm with a king. I'm with my boyfriend. And we, like, decide to keep the party going. So we go out. But I had been standing in heels all night. So we're in the backseat, and I'm like, oh, my God, my feet hurt so bad. So I literally go like this. I'm like, I need a massage. Wait, wait, wait. I'm not done yet. So he starts to massage my feet, and I'm like, oh, my God. Okay. Cause I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna, bitch, but feet hurt.
Weezy
Mandy really wants y' all to see that loose.
Mandy B
Hold on. She was Drew skiing that church shit. The blood of Jesus on the blood of.
Weezy
So, anyway, Amazon Balenciaga's away.
Mandy B
I'm getting my fucking feet rubbed by him. And we're driving. And he literally tells a king, yo, pull over, pull over, pull over. We're like, okay. So I'm thinking he sees somebody. I don't know, but. Or maybe he got a piss, I don't know. But he jumps out the car, jumps back in and has fucking flip flops. He saw his cvs, Very sweet. Stopped the car, went inside to get flip flops, came in and just handed me the shoes.
Weezy
Yep, okay, I see what you mean.
Mandy B
I wouldn't think that's a. That's not a gift. That's an act of service.
Maya The Don
Yes, that's the. He's seen a problem you had and solved it. I'm not gonna talk to you about it.
Mandy B
And I think to me, when we talk about men being providers, men being protectors, what we really don't talk about is like, that's what a woman.
Maya The Don
That's what that is. That's what a protective is. That's what a protective is. I don't need. That's why I was saying, like, I don't need you to pay a bill. Like, not for nothing, my peoples was niggas with money. Like, I know what a bunch of money look like at once. You're not impressing me.
Weezy
Not a winter blonde.
Maya The Don
This doesn't. I have a lot of money. Who is it impressing me? You know, coldest winter ever.
Mandy B
Oh, yeah, when she said.
Weezy
When you said my people's that money.
Maya The Don
That's no. That ass. No, like, I winter san. I'm dead ass winter Santiago. Like, well, maybe not because she was a dumbass.
Mandy B
She did some dumb, dumb.
Maya The Don
It.
Mandy B
She was dumb.
Maya The Don
But, like, that's what I mean by like, nah, it's not. I don't care about your money. Like, to an extent, like, it just doesn't.
Mandy B
Now, speaking of not caring about money. Yes, go ahead.
Weezy
I kind of find this refreshing as a rapper to say, because in that c rap.
Mandy B
Go ahead.
Weezy
No, no, no. Like, I like that getting money shit that are not pussy rap, even just women rapping, period. Like, I don't think meg thee stallion and glorilla is pussy rap, do you? I don't think maya is pussy rap actually. Like, pussy rap to me is that
Mandy B
meg thee stallion literally has a song called wap.
Weezy
Pussy rap to me is like, that's pussy. Pussy rap to me isn't necessarily flow of rap. It's not lyrical. It's just fun. Where all my scamming ass niggas at is p ssy rap. Like, to me. And I fuck with yung Miami, but that ain't I don't know pussy rap ain't every woman is all I'm saying. But I know the sound when I'm listening to pussy rap. I guess in my head I feel like I know to bop, say that, to say. I feel like all I hear sometimes is N and money and it's not our real reality all the time. Sometimes like even when men listen to rap and it's like murder and drugs, like we're not killing N, we're going to work. You know what I mean?
Mandy B
Right?
Weezy
But I love that you said that because I think there is so much out of the scope where we forget we're talking to everyday people and that's not our reality, bro.
Mandy B
All right, now listen up. We are halfway through 2026 and it's never too late to start a routine that will only better you. And you know, one thing I had to unlearn was treating my hair the way everybody else said I should. Now growing I had thin hair, I had dry scalp and y' all know now I'm a bawdy. But while my scalp stayed dry, my hair always felt weak and I just wasn't seeing the results that I wanted and it was frustrating. Then I realized healthy hair and a healthy scalp deserves the same attention we give our skincare and our bodies. And that's why I've enjoyed using Basque and Lather. My favorite, of course, has been the Stimulating Scalp and Hair Balm. It's made with 100% natural ingredients, helps nourish and hydrate without feeling greasy, and supports stronger looking hair while reducing breakage and adding shine. And y' all know that's important because I put a lot of bleach in my hair. I've also been using the Hydrating Hair Mist because it keeps my hair soft, hydrated and helps with the frizz. And honestly, some of the before and after photos on their site are incredible. You can really see the difference consistent scalp care makes. As if that wasn't convincing enough, I also love that Basque Lather is black owned and family operated. The brand started after CEO Shayna's younger sister was told her hair may never grow back. Her family created their own formulas and today her hair is down to her hips. Baby Explore viral bestsellers and products of healthier hair of all types. From Basque and Lather go to bask and lather co.com that's B A S K A N D L A T H EE r c o.com and use code decisions for 20% off. That's 20% off at Basque and Lather company code decisions.

Weezy
Is it about you being the precious cargo?
Maya The Don
Yeah. No. The project's called Precious Cargo because the journey of like making it from hot commodity and when I released that and like the aftermath, I kind of like learned, okay, you gotta take care of yourself. It's not just, you know, cause how commodity is about being commodified, it's about being, oh, I must start. Like, look at all this. I have. And you know what I'm saying, It's about access. And you know, I think Precious Cargo is more so about maintaining integrity while being commodified and taking care of yourself while, you know, being in the forefront and having all of these things and like growth. And that's why I've been saying it's not like an album or I make stable, it's like it's a story. All right. Like, this is.
Mandy B
This is some real shit. And I'll play this in the tech because I do want to talk about that.
Maya The Don
Yeah, it's.
Weezy
I wish we could play y'. All, but YouTube.
Maya The Don
No, no.
Mandy B
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No music. But I have a clip that I want to play to get into some other stuff. But hearing that, I want to talk about. Because you were like me and you respond and cuss niggas out.
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Mandy B
You have been on a public weight loss journey and I know for you to also be on a sobriety journey as a woman, I would love to know how sex and dating has changed for you through losing weight and saying no to liquor, which is advice which does make sex sometimes more fun. But, like, losing weight and taking out liquor while also still, like, dating and finding love. How has that been?
Maya The Don
So I'll say with the sobriety, that was more like. I would say that I was like a. Like a. When you go out and you have a drink or whatever, the thing is that the type of lifestyle I live, where I go out a lot a lot. Sometimes multiple times a week. And, you know, that one drink and
Mandy B
that turns into seven.
Maya The Don
And it's not even like I was, like, addicted or, like, you know, like. Because I don't particularly like drinking alcohol. It's just something that you do when you're out.
Mandy B
Yeah, I'm just doing this.
Maya The Don
Right, but it's just something that you do. So I think once I got serious about, like, fitness and my health journey, I just. It was like, okay, this is something I gotta stop doing.
Mandy B
What made you want to lose weight?
Maya The Don
So I didn't want to lose weight, really. So I'll tell you, I was really
Mandy B
severely depressed and not you laughing after saying.
Maya The Don
Because it's like.
Mandy B
It's almost like, what are you gonna do? Hold on.
Maya The Don
It's almost like Durango, he literally said
Mandy B
during writing our book, bro, she is like, a great chapter, and she's, like, making jokes throughout. And she realized during the book writing
Weezy
process, oh, this ain't funny.
Mandy B
That she, like, jokes about things that are jokes.
Maya The Don
No. Yeah, yeah.
Weezy
I mean, not gonna lie. I have a suicide chapter and low key. I really. I swear to you, Maya, this is exactly how it went. I went to this concert. It was a DJ named Zed. Back then. Maybe y' all remember the song why Are youe My Clarity? That was his song. I was at the concert and I
Mandy B
said, I don't know if this sucks
Weezy
and this is making me want to kill myself more or if I, like, already want to. Like, this is really bad. Maybe if the DJ was good, I wouldn't go home and want to do this. But there were so many things that made up the day that really made me think about it. Like, I had a good pizza, and I was like, I should stay alive for this. But then something else went wrong, and I was like, no, I should kill myself. And it sounds fucked up, but might be funny.
Maya The Don
That's from psychology. I need to speak from psychology. It makes you feel safe.
Mandy B
You didn't want to lose weight, but you were severely depressed. Let's talk about this journey.
Maya The Don
I was Sad. Really, really sad. And I just was doing nothing but watching TV all the time in bed, doing nothing. Cause I could. And I was like, okay, something has to change because you need to drop some music. People gotta forget about you if you don't. You need to do this, you gotta do this. And it was like, oh, but I'm sad, you know? But then I started to stop feeling sorry for myself and like, understood that I was in control of my own destiny. So I was like, okay, I need to get my life together. So that's when I was like, okay, I work best on a schedule. I have adhd. And one of the things that I need to, needed to implement was a schedule. Because my schedule's so sporadic with the lifestyle I live. And one of the things was like, okay, I'll wake up and go to the gym every morning. 7am Go to the gym, start your day. That's what they say in the books, the self help books, you know, like, you want like early starts of your day, get everything out the way. You know what I'm saying? That's what they say when you're entrepreneur. I'm just listening to them. Fortunately, they was correct. Take your vitamins, wake up early, go to the gym. Your life will improve. You'd be. Unfortunately, they're right.
Weezy
Simple. Yeah.
Maya The Don
And it, but it sounds so simple. But it's a lot harder than you know.
Weezy
What it is though, there's something specific to the gym. And I think it's because if you're starting your day doing something for yourself, none of us start the day doing shit for ourselves. Yeah, I wake up valid if I've got a few minutes before a zoom call. I mean, sure, my job is for myself, but you know what I mean, you're taking the orders and you're barking. Barked by someone else to do something for someone else or make money for another company. For some reason. The gym, not only does it give you endorphins, you start to look better after a while. But on some real shit, you're like, oh, yeah, I did that for me. And it's this selfish thing now where I actually put in my contract at a job that up until 12pm Estate, I'm not taking calls like, I'm gonna be working out within this time frame. You can never put it on my calendar, okay? Unless you ask, like, I have to do this for me. If I don't, I'm gonna get in that rat race cycle.
Maya The Don
Exactly. And then it's just like, you know, so.
Mandy B
So you lost weight without Meaning to really.
Maya The Don
It was just like, kind of sort of. It was like. It's just like a side effect. You know what I mean?
Weezy
You know what the story is?
Maya The Don
Fuck no. I wish. Who got that on the back?
Weezy
That's the story.
Maya The Don
They're gonna kill me for saying that. But no, like, it was. It was literally like, when you stop drinking.
Mandy B
Yeah.
Weezy
Start.
Maya The Don
Stop bloating. That's £10, you know, then you do the 10K walks. That's quick. And when you're at. When you're heavy, like, it comes off fast in the beginning, you know?
Weezy
10,000 steps in new York block,
Maya The Don
maybe.
Mandy B
Like, I really like the time. If you walk 45 minutes. Like, even around. Because my boyfriend says 10k a day is what I should be aiming for.
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Mandy B
Which I'd be looking at. Sometimes it's like 3,500.
Maya The Don
But I'm telling you, if you. If you just make little changes, 10k is nothing. You know, you walk on a treadmill for an hour. You know, if you have, like, a pretty accurate.
Weezy
In the winter time.
Maya The Don
Yeah. If you're living in New York and you, like, want to commute, just miss a train walk. You know what I'm saying?
Mandy B
I'm curious. You didn't want to lose weight. Did men treat you different when you started dropping pounds? Can we talk about men?
Maya The Don
Everybody treats you different. Everybody hate fat people. Mandy, you know this.
Mandy B
I know, I know, I know.
Maya The Don
Mandy, everybody. Like, come on. Stop.
Mandy B
Hold on.
Weezy
I'm not making a face for why you think something happened yesterday.
Mandy B
You don't understand. No, you don't understand.
Weezy
No, no, no. The way man is treating fat people.
Mandy B
It doesn't. No, it was one fat man, and he looked like Aries Spears, but. So he was also ugly. But no, I had to sit here and tell her, like, because I was talking like that. This fat man had no chance.
Weezy
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Mandy B
As a fat woman, I never wanted a fat man. I can have a preference. And so as a fat woman, me even having a preference was like, bitch, why do you think you can even have a preference as a fat woman?
Maya The Don
Right?
Mandy B
And now even she was like, not you talking bad about. She was treating. Like the word fat was like autistic. And I'm like, bro, like, we can call people fat. It's not a bad word.
Maya The Don
Yeah, it can be a word.
Mandy B
Afraid of the word. But they do treat. As a big. As a fat person, you get treated crazy.
Weezy
Not afraid of the word. Body shame to tell someone, I don't want you because you're fat. I Do think.
Mandy B
I love that you said you didn't want to lose weight, though.
Maya The Don
Yeah. What was the difference then?
Mandy B
Because you've lost a lot of weight. Oh, my gosh. But I love that you're also doing it in a girl. You was fat as hell. Girl, you was big, and now you're
Maya The Don
not that big no more. By the way, y' all did that to each other.
Mandy B
Hello. Real quick.
Weezy
I know what you. I know you know what that's like, Mandy.
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Mandy B
Cause you lost a lot. But Mandy.
Maya The Don
No, she lost a significant amount of weight.
Mandy B
Maya, you did it first. Maya was like. Cause you know what being a big bitch is like? No.
Maya The Don
Cause Mandy, you know, like, that's a shared experience. You understand from that. It could be a mind of.
Mandy B
Some of.
Weezy
You know, our listeners are using GLPs. A lot of the girls asked me about that little Chinese thing I took. I'm curious, how did you lose your weight in the gym? Because people grow into the gym.
Maya The Don
At first, I was just walking all the cardio.
Mandy B
Okay.
Maya The Don
I was walking all the.
Weezy
But 10,000 steps ain't gonna get you skinny.
Maya The Don
No, But I lost £16 in a month.
Mandy B
Hello.
Maya The Don
Yeah. Like that. Walking, really? Especially when you're not active at all. You gotta think I'm doing nothing all day long.
Mandy B
By the way, how much weight have you lost?
Maya The Don
I don't think I should say.
Mandy B
Why?
Maya The Don
Because I don't think it matters. Okay, here's what I'll say.
Weezy
If you don't have comfortable, you don't have.
Maya The Don
No, no, no, no. I'm gonna say this because I think me losing weight is a very. I wanna be careful with the way that I talk about it in this subject because being a plus size woman in the industry that I am is important, and I want people to understand that. I was proud to be that representation. And nobody made me scared and shamed me to lose weight. I want to be very clear with that. I love that nobody made me feel so bad about myself. To where I said, this isn't worth it. And I want people to understand that because I think that everybody else has a strange relationship with other women's body.
Mandy B
Yes, they do.
Maya The Don
And my body and my weight loss and the way that I look is not a playground for people to be a part of. You understand what I'm saying? So I don't want to talk about it and kind of say it like, oh, like, oh, this is what I did. And this is all you have to do.
Mandy B
And.
Maya The Don
Because that's not what I'm into. I never came in and come in, you know, preaching. Oh, this and the third. I just looked the way that I looked and I was proud of it. And that's it. And it's the same today. So I don't want to tell people or my audience that, you know, it's important that you do this or you focus on this and da, da, da, da.
Weezy
No, but it is important that you move your body. We can't lie.
Maya The Don
We should move our body, but not with intentions to lose weight.
Weezy
Agreed.
Maya The Don
Move your body because you should move
Weezy
your body because it happened to you naturally is the truest gift of all. Because it's like the stress of trying to lose weight, spiking your cortisol, that's really what gets you fucking crazy, right? But just getting up like, I know skinny bitches that can't fucking walk ten times.
Maya The Don
Exactly. No, I was heavy doing aerial yoga with my homegirl. And I know. Cause we were on stream. And I know people were like saying slick things about me, like, being strong. Like, no, I'm strong. You look at me like, oh, I'm just. You know. But no, I'm strong as shit and I can do things. I can live.
Mandy B
I'm not like, you know, Jasmine Sullivan has been getting like. I saw a comment, she came out during, like, with Ari Lennox and Ruth picnic, and people were in the comments and were like, well, I hope her voice is still fat because she's lost so much weight in the reigns. What has been the response from both men and women from being plus size, losing the weight even. You just sharing pictures in the gym, they're mean and you retweet them and talk shit back. I love it.
Maya The Don
Yes.
Mandy B
But like, it's like you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Maya The Don
How I feel is people are gonna have something to say regardless of what you look like. It's always gonna be a thing. Like, always. I could go, I could have gotten the BBL as soon as I signed.
Mandy B
Okay, okay.
Maya The Don
And that would have been a conversation. I could have gotten bigger and that would have been a thing. I'm smaller right now and people are still gonna say, like, I just had 50 Cent say, oh, she gonna get a BBL. She gonna be on top of the world. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's always gonna be something that. That's to be said. I. I can't control that.
Mandy B
What has been said in the bedroom. So when I got the gastric sleeve, I had men literally tell me, can I fuck you before you get Skinny, like they like me big. And it's not talked enough publicly how niggas like big bitches. So, like, they didn't. You know what I mean? So what has been the change in the bedroom and with dating, with losing weight?
Maya The Don
Remember I said I was gonna piss you off?
Weezy
Uh huh. Why? I don't date.
Mandy B
She just said she was gonna piss me off and I don't know what it is.
Weezy
Yeah, it must be Mandy.
Maya The Don
I don't date.
Mandy B
What do you mean?
Maya The Don
I don't date. I get niggas, though. Wait, I don't date.
Mandy B
Wait, are you asexual? Wait, are you fucking? Wait, are you also celibate right now? Wait, sober celibate? Sober, celibate and going to the gym are.
Weezy
You know what?
Mandy B
And you're not depressed, are you? Okay, wait a second. Wait, wait.
Weezy
Maybe that shows you niggas get us depressed.
Mandy B
Oh, my gosh. No, wait. Okay, so, no,
Maya The Don
I'm trying to decide how I want to. Okay, how I want to make you mad.
Mandy B
So you cut out liquor, you go to the gym.
Weezy
Wait, you said, I want to decide how I make you mad. That almost made me think you've never had sex.
Maya The Don
Oh, girl.
Weezy
Oh, no.
Mandy B
She was fucking. She was fucking. I'm like. But wait, what was that decision to how long ago?
Maya The Don
It wasn't a decision. It wasn't like a thing that, like, you know what I'm saying? I just don't. I don't date. I don't do that.
Mandy B
It's so funny because when women talk about, like, just being celibate for so long, men literally don't believe that women can just go without.
Weezy
What's that mean? I don't date. I get niggas, though. So what's it mean?
Maya The Don
Like, I don't, like, I don't. I don't date. Because
Mandy B
you just like to flirt? Is it just that you.
Maya The Don
I love to flirt.
Mandy B
Okay.
Maya The Don
But you know what it is? I keep saying I'm so focused on myself and my. My career and, like, I'm really, like, obsessive about it. Like, I. I'm selfish. Like, I can't give you the time that you need.
Weezy
How old are you?
Maya The Don
24.
Mandy B
I was gonna ask that.
Maya The Don
Yeah, like, I don't have time for you right now. Like, I. I can't. Like, I don't have the band.
Weezy
One of the smartest things I've heard for someone under 27 out.
Mandy B
27. Be the age, bitch.
Weezy
But yes, because something about 20 under 27 is so much. I just. And I wish the best for all of you youngins. I don't know if I met people because I was dating men and women that valued me and showed it to me until I was over a certain age.
Mandy B
Older.
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Weezy
Because they don't necessarily almost know how to do it. And then even older niggas, when I was 24, they take advantage of you. Like, oh, he's a young bitch. So it's like everybody kind of takes you as a joke. So you almost have to take yourself so serious because. And not saying this is all people,
Mandy B
of course, but no, I was at.
Weezy
For the bulk of it, 24.
Mandy B
I. I wish I.
Maya The Don
You was having a blast.
Mandy B
I wish I fucked a lot less than 24. I wish I went through this journey.
Weezy
Oh, I don't wish I fucked less.
Mandy B
Oh, well, because you like physical touch, bitch.
Weezy
No, I wish I stopped liking niggas less.
Maya The Don
Oh, yeah.
Weezy
So what, you was like that you fucked?
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Weezy
What Maya's saying about, you know, not being focused on dating but getting n. I wasn't there.
Maya The Don
Oh, you know what it is? Look, this is what I like to
Weezy
be what it is.
Maya The Don
Yeah. I don't date. I get niggas. This means, like, I don't date because I don't take you serious. It's not about you choosing me or wanting me. That's. There's no shortage of men that want me. This is me very clear on that. Hello. There's no shortage. I just don't want you. I don't like you. It's something. I'm very picky. I'll cut a nigga off for having a hole in his sock. Dead ass. Like, I'm like.
Mandy B
Like, you get the ick.
Maya The Don
I get the ick quick.
Mandy B
So I just had to be like, hold on.
Weezy
We gotta do a rundown.
Mandy B
We have to do a rundown.
Weezy
Number one, what do you. Painted nails.
Mandy B
Number two, I.
Weezy
No, wait, wait, wait. Let's keep it real.
Mandy B
Number one, painted nails.
Weezy
Tell us if we're getting an ick.
Maya The Don
I don't really. I don't think I care that much. But it's like, if it's like, you're groomed, like, oh, you got, like, clear nail polish on. All right, cool.
Weezy
Okay. Number two, he jumps over puddles.
Mandy B
Why?
Maya The Don
Ick. Just walk around it. Number three, walk through it like a
Mandy B
man walk through the puddle.
Weezy
He's polyamorous.
Mandy B
Ick.
Maya The Don
Come on.
Mandy B
You think monogamy.
Maya The Don
It's not even about that. It's like, shut the fuck up. Yeah. Like, stop talking to me. Don't.
Mandy B
All right, wait a second. Why are you rolling your ass?
Maya The Don
Here she go.
Mandy B
You're not a fan of the poly lifestyle.
Maya The Don
I just don't. I don't think it's always. You know what? I'm not gonna say that because I'm not gonna take people.
Weezy
Yeah, let's not. We want you to listen to precious
Mandy B
cargo, but please keep going.
Maya The Don
I think it's like. I think it's like a real thing. Like, you know, But I think.
Weezy
No, I believe her. You know, I say that's why you don't believe.
Maya The Don
But I do think.
Weezy
I do not. I agree with her.
Maya The Don
I think it's real. But I do think that certain people need therapy. And you can believe in polygamy and think that it's sustainable. I truly believe that some people think that way. But I think it's just. You are afraid of.
Mandy B
I don't agree.
Maya The Don
And that's okay. That's okay. I think some people don't.
Mandy B
They commit in polyamory. So you can't be afraid of commitment.
Maya The Don
I don't think I've ever seen it exist successfully. I'm sure there's examples of it. I'm sure people live happily and you've seen it.
Mandy B
Monogamy exists successfully.
Maya The Don
But that's my point where, like both to that point.
Weezy
That's fair.
Maya The Don
That's what I'm saying. Like, both things can be true at once. You know, I've seen successful marriages. I've seen unsuccessful marriages. I've seen people who are polygamous.
Weezy
I'll tell you what I think it is about polyamory that fucks it up. I think it is extremely difficult to get more than one person to be happy in whatever commitment. Number one. Let's just say you are in a triad. Super difficult to give the same amount of love to two people at one time. What can work and what I've seen existing long time working is swingers. I've seen people that have sex with people together. I've seen people that do the don't ask, don't tell. Like, vacation, separate. Like, let's have moments. I've never. And I'm gonna agree with Maya on this, I have poly. Huh?
Mandy B
Those are all poly, in a sense, under the umbrella. We could say the umbrella was if you're a swinger, I don't think.
Maya The Don
But being polygamous is about being in a relationship.
Weezy
Polygamous is marriage.
Mandy B
Polygamous is different.
Weezy
But what she's saying is polyamory. So when I'm saying. And I'm saying polyamory is relationship, I Would semi agree with you? And I'm not trying to be shady with your boyfriends, by the way. I'm really not, I promise.
Mandy B
I mean, I disagree with both of y', all, so that's fine. Y' all can disagree.
Weezy
Okay. So what I'm seeing is that most of the people that I meet, and especially because I'm non monogamous. So for the last 10 years, I've been practicing it this way. The consistent theme I see in polyamory is there are never too satisfying relationships happening at the same exact time for more than 90 days. After this newfound phase, either the central relationship either needs to start to shift something because it's taking from the central relationship, or that other relationship is like, well, I can't be this secondary person forever. And it starts to feel like there's this constant imbalance. So that's why I said, I've seen swingers, people that know they want to fucking sexuality. I've seen been successful. I just have not seen polyamory really be sustainable. This is not to say that I don't want to promote that on the show because I'm a non monogamous person, but I'm finding that the relationship aspect is leaving people unsatisfied. And I think what's happening is men are leading the conversation. Women are not opening themselves to polyamory before they meet people. Men are suggesting it and women accept it. And that's why we're kind of fucked.
Maya The Don
That's what I think. I think because women are accepted things that they're not completely into in order to satisfy somebody.
Weezy
I agree. Women don't.
Maya The Don
I also think that women can, you know, want multiple men. They are.
Mandy B
Hello. Hello, Hello, Hello. I'm a Jonah. You don't even date. Shut up.
Weezy
You don't even date.
Mandy B
I want it.
Maya The Don
Oh, but what I was saying, like, dating for me is like, okay, I'm getting to know you with the intention of possibly getting in a relationship with you. I don't want to do that. I get niggas, though. So, like, what you. You. Oh, you want to. Do you have a favorite?
Weezy
What keeps you from. How do you keep your heart safe? How does Maya be?
Maya The Don
They don't see that in the first place. That's what I mean by on there. I get niggas, though.
Weezy
Oh, okay. So, like. But keeping it safe. Do you do sleepovers?
Maya The Don
I don't. Niggas don't come to my house.
Mandy B
Okay.
Maya The Don
I got a big dog who bite. He trained to bite on. Come in.
Weezy
Okay, okay, Got it.
Maya The Don
They Be scared.
Mandy B
All right now listen up. We are halfway through 2026 and it's never too late to start a routine that will only better you. And you know, one thing I had to unlearn was treating my hair the way everybody else said I should. Now growing up, I had thin ha. I had dry scalp. And y' all know now I'm a bawdy. But while my scalp stayed dry, my hair always felt weak and I just wasn't seeing the results that I wanted. And it was frustrating. Then I realized healthy hair and a healthy scalp deserves the same attention we give our skin care and our bodies. And that's why I've enjoyed using Basque and lather. My favorite, of course, has been the stimulating scalp and hair balm. It's made with 100% natural ingredients, helps nourish and hydrate without feeling greasy, and supports stronger looking hair while reducing breakage and adding shine. And y' all know that's important because I put a lot of bleach in my hair. I've also been using the hydrating hair mist because it keeps my hair soft, hydrated and helps with the frizz. And honestly, some of the before and after photos on their site are incredible. You can really see the difference consistent scalp care makes. As if that wasn't convincing enough, I also love that Basque and Lather is black owned and family operated. The brand started after CEO Shayna's younger sister was told her hair may never grow back back. Her family created their own formulas and today her hair is down to her hips. Baby.

Mandy B
All right, I have a clip I want to play. All right, now curious two your Thoughts?
Maya The Don
What does peace look like to you? When I come to you Be my recharging station? What is that?
Mandy B
Like I'm a Tesla When I hook
Maya The Don
up to you, baby, oh, baby, you
Weezy
better come to me Charged?
Mandy B
Hell no,
Weezy
man.
Mandy B
I wish the.
Weezy
Fuck me.
Mandy B
Hey, this ain't no,
Weezy
wait, hold on.
Mandy B
Can you say it again?
Weezy
Cause that shit just sometimes.
Maya The Don
That was a left.
Mandy B
Wait, hold on, hold on.
Weezy
Kim, your piece look like what you
Mandy B
think I'm a gas station?
Maya The Don
A motherfucking power, A charging port.
Mandy B
Supercharged.
Maya The Don
You feel me? And you gotta have the wherewithal to understand how to handle me.
Mandy B
Cause hey, what's up?
Maya The Don
What we doing that could be cool on Monday?
Weezy
God bless ya.
Mandy B
Hey, what's up? What we doing on Tuesday?
Maya The Don
That it will trigger me as far as what's up? What we doing as far as what?
Mandy B
That was an example.
Maya The Don
But I'm just saying, knowing what you
Mandy B
say in this second part is even
Maya The Don
more important than the first part. How you said it can trigger me, or it could really kind of get me going. You feel what I'm saying? Oh my God. I don't think he know what he talking about.
Mandy B
So in terms of how we date, I like that. No man is your piece is what I'm hearing.
Maya The Don
Right.
Mandy B
And a lot of men believe that women have to be their piece. But without the therapy, without the wherewithal to even know how to explain. So what triggers you? What do you mean? The way I say something the next day could trigger you. So I'm curious right now. When you're dating, how would a man show up? And I'm curious with you too, because you've talked a lot now about your fiance. But how do men show up as our piece? I think when we always hear they gotta be my peace, what does that look like in a relationship? What does peace look like?
Maya The Don
I think I'm not looking for that from a man.
Weezy
Okay.
Maya The Don
I think.
Mandy B
Cause you found your peace.
Maya The Don
Yeah. I think a lot of things that people look for in others is things that they have to look for in themselves. And that's not something that we talk about enough. I think I understand who I am and the things that I lack enough to work on it for myself. So then I'm not looking for a man to make me whole. You understand what I'm saying? That's why I'm comfortable with not being within a relationship.
Mandy B
With what I think men actually look
Weezy
for women, you know, Makes me whole too.
Maya The Don
I think that's the problem.
Weezy
That's the thing with women. It.
Mandy B
It's all, it's a ramp. People look for other people to make them whole, to resolve their issues, to make their daddy issues go away, their mommy issues, their abandonment issues. They look for someone to come in
Maya The Don
and fix them and fix these things. And that's just, that's not something that you should do. That's not a responsibility that your partner should have or carry. You know what I'm saying? Which is why I'm not.
Mandy B
You said that's why you not really dating. Cause niggas would interrupt your piece.
Maya The Don
Exactly. Like, exactly that, like that's why I'm, I'm. I don't. I always say like I don't like rappers. Y' all are bad people. Rappers, I know rappers are bad people.
Weezy
I'm a rapper, I'm not gonna lie. I think trying to think what's worse.
Maya The Don
Athlete, rapper, Bad people, bad people, bad people.
Mandy B
It's not even a clear bad because
Weezy
it's the access that they get.
Maya The Don
That's what I'm telling you. That's what it is.
Mandy B
The FedEx driver has access to be
Maya The Don
the truck driver has access to artists or entrepreneur. You have to have some type of self serving like attitude to some point. Like we're all narcissists to a certain degree. Like I don't like using that word because I'm a psychologist student and it's like that's a real thing. But like at some, like you are selfish to one extent that other people are not.
Mandy B
Selfish is a word that I hate that gets.
Maya The Don
You know what I'm saying? But like I am that. I understand that I'm never going to put you over my career or over me at this moment. I'm not. And if that's what you're looking for, I'm not the girl for you. And that's okay.
Weezy
I will tell you, I don't know if we talk enough about people that really are supportive. Like, I think for the most part I don't even know the person that's sitting here that you came with. But I would assume everybody in this room would not expect to be more important than someone's career. But for some reason sometimes when we're in relationships that translates different. Because what happens is, for example, I dated somebody that she never necessarily. This is in Sisters, by the way, that's my baby. She never.
Mandy B
That's crazy.
Weezy
What? She just have a fiance. Just mean I can't. She can't be my baby.
Maya The Don
That's my baby.
Mandy B
Girl, don't drink your buzz ball. That's that double standards Bro, this is her ex girlfriend, by the way. That because it's a girl she gonna invite to the wedding and she could just say, that's my baby. But it's your ex.
Weezy
My fiance's happy with it. Bitch, you have an issue.
Mandy B
No, it's because it's a woman.
Maya The Don
I don't. You see that ring? That ring is nuts. That fiance don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck about that bitch.
Weezy
Nya, I'm not gonna lie to you. Right when she was texting me, I was like, oh, my God, babe, guess who texted me? Who? I don't know. Oh, that's sweet. Okay, can I ask you a serious question? Oh, yeah. Can she come to the wedding?
Mandy B
Of course she could come. Can she come to the wedding? But I'm saying she couldn't invite one of her ex boyfriends. Like, this is what I'm saying. Like, well, they weren't good to me, baby. They were good to me. The fucking double standard.
Weezy
Okay, so anyway, this is what I was trying to get to dated this girl who basically would always say things like, never expect you to put me over your career. But this is where the peace would be disrupted. It would be things like, I think I can only hang out on Thursday night. And then that would translate into. I mean, I feel like you never make time for me. There's gotta be some other time in your day I don't feel like.
Maya The Don
Cause that time is for me that
Weezy
is cruising me over my career.
Mandy B
Hello. That's true.
Maya The Don
That's a curve. But that's something that, you know, people who just don't work in the same industry don't understand. People who aren't entrepreneurs don't understand. Like, no, honestly, like, it's always about this. Because if not, I don't live. Like, no, I. I have to go do this because if I don't, then I don't make money. And now I need you things.
Weezy
I'm sure everybody that wants to do networking events that's listening. You could be in corporate America. A shit like that, when you want to say yes because you want to climb, that shit is hard too. But to answer your question for peace, it's actually just shutting up.
Mandy B
Okay, well, now I want to have fun and talk shit about people, if you don't mind.
Weezy
Yeah.
Maya The Don
Oh, goodness.
Mandy B
Okay, so I have another clip. Okay, this is going to lead me to bringing up one of your other songs. That was so great. Okay, tell me your thoughts on that. Broke Niggas Be Abusive. He might be nice, right Now y' all probably like two months in, he just gonna get Broker. And Broker, you probably gonna go to work and then he gonna start asking you, baby, can you get the food, can you get this? He gonna get tired of that shit. You probably like, oh, it's just a little fo.
Weezy
Fo.
Maya The Don
Fo my fuffle.
Mandy B
Fo is gonna add up. They gonna add up. I feel like if you broke and you don't know what you're doing in life, you are lost. Cause you lost right now. You need to just figure it out and you gonna come over trying to hurt me mentally, all that. So that was, I'm curious your thoughts. That was Anicia, by the way.
Maya The Don
Uh huh.
Mandy B
Love her. Um, but she said that broke men are abusive. Broke men will hurt you emotionally. And eventually they just get Broker and Broker.
Weezy
I can't relate. They're my faves.
Mandy B
Because you like the bro you fucking. I fuck broke niggas with big dicks and I just don't understand it and I hate it.
Weezy
I just feel like they be writing me poems. Girl, they be doing all the things
Mandy B
cause they have so much free time, but that's cause they're not working.
Weezy
Broke niggas really will give they all to you, bitch. Broke niggas fucking damn near what all.
Mandy B
See? See what all they got?
Maya The Don
How do they have?
Weezy
I pay.
Mandy B
What catch do they have? So you have a song called Zesty. And so I would love to know if we could come up with a list for the ladies. You may be dating a Dusty. If. Ooh. So can we like define and identify Dusties and it doesn't have to be brokies. Or are they the same? Cause Dusty's is a great word.
Maya The Don
Yeah.
Mandy B
And when you said the hole in
Maya The Don
the sock that is giving Dusty, they're not interchangeable. Okay, so you could be broke and not Dusty.
Weezy
Okay.
Maya The Don
You could be Dusty and poor or you could be Dusty and getting it. You know what I'm saying?
Mandy B
So what makes a man dusty and why should we? We don't want no Dusty.
Weezy
When I think Dusty, fuzzy braids comes to mind.
Maya The Don
Oh, for sure.
Mandy B
I feel like you just want to
Maya The Don
keep throwing shots at me like poor
Mandy B
grooming niggas with fuzzy braids and it's okay.
Weezy
No, me too. I fucked fuzzy braid niggas.
Mandy B
This is like the second time you done brought up.
Weezy
Yeah, I did not bring that nigga up.
Mandy B
Okay, okay.
Weezy
That was not why. Okay.
Mandy B
I don't, I don't need them clean all the time. They gonna get done. I said I'm like broke niggas, bitch.
Weezy
Mine is more shady than yours.
Mandy B
Yours is.
Weezy
Andy got a broke. No, no, no. He wasn't broke.
Mandy B
He wasn't broke. But he got a fuzzy braids. That's not. He could have curls. It be forced. It be coming out these extra curls.
Weezy
No, bitch, it gives three weeks. But anyway, the point is, we're not taking fuzzy braids.
Mandy B
A few fuzzy braid niggas. Fuzzy braid. Okay. Fuzzy braid niggas is not dusty's.
Maya The Don
Let's get into it though, okay? I think you could be a Dusty if you're dumb. Like, niggas can't have. Can't articulate themselves properly. You can't have a full conversation if things like. I don't know. I hate. I don't know ass nigga. I don't know.
Mandy B
Okay.
Weezy

Mandy B
So, okay, so let's create this list together. So you're dusty if you are not intellectual. Yeah, I think you are dusty if you are dirty. And when I say dirty all the way down to the car, I shouldn't get, bro.
Weezy
Cause women, women, cars be bad, though.
Mandy B
Women's cars be bad. And so bitches be dusty too. But like, I think you're the house. Women are not exempt from being dusty. To me, if you are a grown person, mind you, whether it's your kids, your friends, your family, people get into your vehicle, you are. Are a little dusty if you do not know how to keep a clean car. I'm saying it, and I'm sorry, don't clip this up. Cause my friend's car. You know what friend? I have a dusty friend. And I'm gonna text you before this comes out. Girl, her car is. Her car is never clean.
Weezy
But girl, bad bitches be having dirty.
Mandy B
I. No. So then they're dusty Crystal. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's another friend. Her car is never clean. If you are a bad bitch and your car is dirty, bitch, you are
Maya The Don
dusty worse than mine.
Weezy
Mine ain't really bad.
Mandy B
No, bro, it's her car is.
Weezy
I always feel like. You know what? I always feel like I have in the car. I feel like I always got a fucking UPS box that gotta go back right in the car.
Mandy B
No, bro, imagine.
Weezy
And every time I get in a
Maya The Don
car, I'd be like trash in the floor.
Mandy B
No, like, imagine getting into a car, seeing a Bundt cake and that bitch ordered it three days ago. Why is. Why is the cake still in the car? Car? Why is Taco Bell all over the car?
Weezy
I don't know.
Maya The Don
Who you like if you. If it's hot. If it's a hot day and you open up your car doing it stinking,
Mandy B
it shouldn't stick you Dusty. Give us something that's dusty.
Maya The Don
Actually.
Weezy
It's an action they can do.
Mandy B
Okay.
Weezy
I don't like when be chatting too much about other and other bitches. That's very dusty behavior to me. It gets very poor in a way that's like, not the hot throat nigga. Like playing ball. Be poor. It gives like. Oh, like you really don't do anything all day. It gives very garage, basement, manosphere to me.
Maya The Don
Yeah, like, you know what's going on with other people lives and it's just

Mandy B
Oh, okay.
Maya The Don
He was a great guy, but because he was so good, I had like a standard, you know what I'm saying? Even from young. Like, I'm 18, 19.
Mandy B
You had good standards early on.
Maya The Don
He was awesome. So, like, dealing with men after that breakup, I was like, what the fuck y' all got going on? And he was like one of the first niggas that I was just talking to just for fun, just to, you know. It was bad. He was my first dirty N experience. It was like it was not no longer than a month that I was

Yeah, like, shit. Yeah. When you fucked him, did he say I didn't? Oh, yeah. That's why I'm saying to you, like, I would never go that far. I got respect for myself. That ass. Like, I would never.
Weezy
Okay, so high broke niggas had, like, a nice little. They had a good five outfits in rotation. They was fly fits. But I kept seeing them, you know what I mean?
Maya The Don
They did dusty, Dusty shit, dusty shit, dusty shit. I'd rather a nigga be in a sweat. A different sweatsuit every day. Just simple D boy. That's what I like, actually. Oh, I think it's simple, but that's what I mean. Like, how you care about a label.
Mandy B
You're 24.
Maya The Don
No, I don't care about a label. I don't care about a thing. Like, you could. You know who I love?
Weezy
We're in an era of actually when labels almost make me be like, you're doing too much, isn't it?
Mandy B
Yeah.
Weezy
You know how I love dress.
Maya The Don
I love how, like, clips dress, like, push your T malice.
Mandy B
Yeah.
Maya The Don
T shirt, jeans. You know what I'm saying? I love. Like, that. Like, I don't love the. The fun fact. Like, why you more fly than me? Like, we battling. You got on, like, the sparkly belt and jeans that match and the colorful things gotta work it.
Mandy B
Like, the bedazzle.
Maya The Don

Maya The Don
Yeah, please. A lot. Like, that's too much for me. Like, I don't like naughty wearing, like, the. The shirts that's, like, kind of cropped.
Weezy
Oh, wait, I know you're about.
Mandy B
I just talked about it.
Weezy
You a.
Maya The Don
You're a baddie.
Weezy
Wait, a mass crop, boxy cut.
Mandy B
Oh, Look, See, she looks.
Weezy
What? But let me tell you, I like it real simple. I don't like label. Label niggas. I'm talking about. You wear a cool fucking jean with a boxy tee. And it's not cropped to where I see your stomach.
Maya The Don
It's only cropped.
Mandy B
No, no, no.
Weezy
Move a little bit.
Mandy B
You do this.
Maya The Don
Yeah, you go like this.
Mandy B
And I see your belly button go up a side. We have a fucking problem.
Maya The Don
Not for nothing, like, I want a Lenny Kravitz.
Mandy B
I guess you do, but I mean, okay.
Maya The Don
Like the metrosexual.
Mandy B
Like, yeah, metro.
Maya The Don
I don't know, I'm just
Weezy
like. Like the guy in a suit that's fucking getting his nails done all the time. The niggas that want to do to clear jail, like, super, like, wanting to be clean niggas like Farnsworth, Bentley, Metro, like that. To me, the Lenny look. I don't know what you would call that, but I think that's more in my lane. I like alt black, but that's been my style.
Mandy B
I love saying alt black because I
Weezy
think that that's been the style of men, women and myself that I find is like a lane. Like, you know, the DJs Coco and Breezy. Give me that, Give me this. That's what I like. I want someone that completely fits the mold. I want someone that's outfit couldn't have been on a billboard or someone's IG post. Like, if you're wearing Fashion Nova, we can't figure it out.
Maya The Don
I wanna see what your fiance looks like at the end.

Mandy B
You thought she was with a croco.
Weezy

Mandy B
It's the same.
Maya The Don
I really that.
Mandy B
Yo.
Weezy
You know what my nigga tells me all the time, he be like, yo, being with a black girl that looks like she fucks white niggas is awful.
Maya The Don
Yeah, I could see that.
Weezy
I know for a fact when I meet black women, they have the vibe. I'm like, oh. They be like, yeah, I like house music too.
Mandy B
I'd be like, but I don't like. I'm not gonna lie. Listen All I know is you be fucking white boys. I've never had pink dick in my life, babe.

Mandy B

Weezy
We are either gonna have to be
Maya The Don
fucking white boys, bro. I'll say.
Mandy B
The boys she had, like, I would never. Like, I got mad that one of my boyfriends made me fuck a white bitch. But Mandy wants biracial.
Weezy
Niggas may be real bright.
Mandy B
First off, none of them are biracial. They are black. Sorry. They are black.
Weezy

Mandy B
Bright white Steph Curry or bright white Steph Curry's black.
Maya The Don
Steph Curry's not.
Mandy B
He's not mixed. But that's what I'm saying, my nigga. Neither of my niggas are mixed, so I don't even know what she's talking about.
Weezy
They're both.
Maya The Don
You got two,
Mandy B
bitch. Both of my niggas are black. And black is not a monolith. And we all are different shades out here. Let's just say they're more biracial.
Weezy
They're more the three of us on the couch than they are.
Mandy B
One of them is lighter. One of them is darker than all of them. Lighter than us is crazy. I mean, it can't get no lighter. Nope. It's the summertime. It's the summertime. He's darker than us. He needed gloss. He's darker now, but Precious Cargo out now. What are the rhymes? What are the raps they getting from this project? Love yourself pretty much.
Maya The Don
You know what they're getting? They're getting honesty, vulnerability. I think people are gonna know a lot about me. I think that's something that was kind of. Of not lacking in hot commodity. But I withheld a lot.
Mandy B
No, but you just said. You talked about a dusty.
Maya The Don
Right, but like, that. That I wasn't, like, talking to him. Okay, where, Like, I think in. In Precious Cargo, I'm more like. Okay, I'm saying names like you're gonna know. You know what I'm saying?

Maya The Don
route at this point.
Weezy
Listen, 10,000 steps is I'm trying to
Maya The Don
look like you, girl. I thought that I was going to be, like, real, real thick. I just keep getting, like, smaller. I thought I was going to be stacked. No, no.
Weezy
What do you mean?
Maya The Don
Like, Like, Mandy lost weight. She's still stacked, you know what I'm saying?
Weezy
Oh, you think you're losing your butt? You mean you.
Maya The Don
Yeah, I ain't got no more titties.
Mandy B
All you got was working your tits are there.
Weezy
No.
Maya The Don
Mandy, you remember my titties?
Weezy
They was Maya. Now I gotta remember your titties.
Mandy B
No, no, no. You go look at the titties.
Maya The Don
You have to look at my titties.
Mandy B
I'm not gonna lie. They used to be in her.
Maya The Don
Like, my titties was to my chin.
Mandy B
The titties was up there.
Maya The Don
I had some titties.
Mandy B
But you still have big titties.
Maya The Don
I still got big titties. It's just not like.
Mandy B
It's so funny. We, as women do like to stay stacked. Like, for me. Yeah, I have three more pounds. Yeah, them titties was titty. No, no titties was titty.
Maya The Don
I want to know what you was looking at. No, no, no, no, no, no. I gotta show you. Like, like, bro, 15. Look at my titties.
Weezy
Look at you.
Maya The Don
See my titties? You know what I'm saying? Like, come on. They was good.
Mandy B
Like, can I just say, too, before we get out of here, I love that you sat here and was like, listen, I loved when I was a big bitch. I loved my titties. I missed my titties. I'm losing my ass. I also don't think enough women genuinely say, like, I know. I don't want to get much smaller than this because I do. Like, like, thighs, my curves, my.
Maya The Don
I think. I think it's uncomfortable to love you. It's not uncomfortable. What the fuck? It's important to love your body however it looks. You know what I'm saying? That's. That's what is important to me, you know, like, losing weight. There are still things that I can nitpick about, you know what I'm saying? Like, okay, I'm smaller, but, like, now my arms look bigger. Who fucking cares? It's an arm. You know what I'm saying?
Mandy B
Will fuck a chicken sandwich.
Maya The Don
You know what you get what I'm saying?
Weezy
Who cares? It's just an arm.
Maya The Don
Like, it's an arm.
Weezy
You'll never get to that point. Wait, my homegirl lost like £40 on a JLP one.
Mandy B
And. Oh, my God, I thought you were gonna say something else. I thought you were gonna say, my friend lost an arm. Oh,
Maya The Don
but no, like, for real, like,
Weezy
it's the fucking arms. And I'm like, bitch, everybody tells you you look good and now you found a new obsession.
Maya The Don
Exactly. You never talked about your arm. And that's the thing. So the weight's not the problem. It's your mind. You know what I'm saying? You have to fix your mind. You have to love yourself and appreciate yourself. Because if you don't, it's always going to be a thing. It's always going to be a something. It's always going to be a. Oh, but this. But it's fat, skinny, thin, slick, pink, green, orange. I'm better than you. I don't give a. What are you talking about?
Mandy B
I could.
Maya The Don
I could lose both my arms and a toe right now. I'm better than you talking about it.
Weezy
Look good.
Mandy B
Like, I mean, but.
Maya The Don
No, no, that ass, though.
Mandy B
Like, but.
Maya The Don
And that's important. Like, you have to feel like that about yourself because if not any little thing, girl, I would have been killed myself had what they were saying about me when I did rolling loud and they talking about me and da da, da. Like, oh, she. She's fat. Nobody's talking about how I'm rapping with no backtrack. Not out of breath. What are you talking about? Like, huh? A skinny can't do that loud performance. Like, you know, people not talking about things that they want to. You know what I'm saying?
Weezy
That blew my mind.
Mandy B
I don't know which one you're talking
Weezy
about, but we can talk about it honestly. Frequently like that. That these last few rolling louds. And I don't know if it's like these genre of.
Mandy B
We're old, we're getting old.
Weezy
No, I don't think I'm getting old. I think these suck. Honestly, too.
Maya The Don
Like, that's real.
Weezy
At the end of the day, there's young people still making phenomenal music, you know what I mean? So we can't. I just really think, like, the standards have been lowered. Like, you really.
Maya The Don
It's a vanity metric. That's what it is. It's a vanity metric. And, you know, people don't. Don't value the things that we used to value because we're getting Dumber. That's why everybody got to pick up a book and read. Just read.
Mandy B
Pick up Kennedy Ryan. Or even if it's.

No, if it's Kennedy Ryan. You gonna improve your real shit though? Kennedy Ryan. Teach you a few things. Dead ass.
