Family and Cultural Dynamics

[Monet X Change]

That's for you. Babies for you?

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Are you going to be one of those. One of those. One of those grandmas who's like, I not. Are you like, spoil your grandkids?

[Chanel Iman]

Baby, I'm going to love those grandkids with everything in me.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

But are they going to spoil?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Your son's like, they can't have candy.

[Chanel Iman]

You're like, they're going to have a cake and eat it in front of their dad. And then if their dad complain, I'm beating your ass. I'm a black woman, bitch. Don't play with me.

[Monet X Change]

When did you first realize that you were a knockout, drop dead gorgeous, superstar, diva? Like, when was that?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

First light.

[Monet X Change]

But were like, oh, I'm better than everyone else.

[Chanel Iman]

Okay. So in my village, I grew up in a village with under a thousand people. I wasn't the hot one there. So they used to call me Spaghetti because, you know, African men love women with big curvy women and stuff. So I never felt I was hot or beautiful, any of that stuff. Even if I am. Because the boys in the village didn't find me attract. Also, I was a boy, a girl's boy. Yeah. I was hanging out with all the boys. I was more friendly than. Then I saw this white man from Idaho and he thought I was hot as fuck and he wanted to marry me. He paid my dowry. I was like, bitch, touch the boobs. I don't give a fuck. Take me to America.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Where did you meet him at?

[Chanel Iman]

And then you killed my American dream. Get back to that. I'm an African kid from Africa, came to America to be on this TV show and you fucking killed me, took all my money. I was supposed to be rich with you.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Honestly, it was a Pleasure. What? Where did you meet your husband at?

[Chanel Iman]

I actually met him in a restaurant in Idaho. No, bitch. I was from a village.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, got it.

[Chanel Iman]

I had sleepers. I never even knew what. Labutanzi never saw a plane.

[Monet X Change]

Got it.

[Chanel Iman]

I was like, brock beach from the village.

[Monet X Change]

So he came to the village for what?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes, He's a white man. They're always looking for villages to look at. It's like, have any enough in America? I'm in a village right now in Beverly Hills. He didn't need to travel all the way to Africa to see me. Bedek brought his white penis for my dog. Then I left.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Can I ask how much your dowry was?

[Chanel Iman]

It was cheap. I was $1,500 at that time. But this is 27 years ago.

[Monet X Change]

So inflation. So that's about.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I'm doing a calculation.

[Monet X Change]

Jacob K. Dor calculates inflation.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Put it 27 years. So in 1999, what would a thousand. How much was 1,500?

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah, something like that.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

What would a 1500 be in today's money? How much did this man pay for dowry for this to your parents?

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. No. So he gave me the money, and I had to give it to my dad, who wasn't even my dad in my life. But in our culture, the dowry goes to your dad.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Got it.

[Monet X Change]

And what. Okay. And the dowry is what? I don't know what a dowry is.

[Chanel Iman]

So the dowry is, like, enough. Like, in my culture, $2 million?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, about $3,000.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, my God. I was like, wow. I was like, they supposed to start at that?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, that. That is a. That is a 1999 Kia. So.

[Chanel Iman]

Okay, okay, okay. You can't even buy. I can't even. It's the shoes I'm wearing. But what was your.

[Monet X Change]

The dowry?

[Chanel Iman]

Also, in my culture, you get married, they pay for your dowry.

[Sponsor Voice]

Got it.

[Chanel Iman]

So basically, it's like they raise you for your money.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Got it.

[Chanel Iman]

So the parents make money out of you as a dowry because you pay them back, and then you take care of your family your whole entire life.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Okay.

[Chanel Iman]

So it's a very common thing in my culture.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

So are you still taking care of the family back home?

[Chanel Iman]

Always. I honestly, I paid for all my brother's colleges, which we never had a time. Brought my brother to America, paid, bought my mama house. Like, I put everyone in my family before I ever did myself.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Word.

[Chanel Iman]

Like, literally, if I bought a pair of shoes, I made sure that my family in the village where I came from, where we were the poorest, now

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

we're like, the operas driving by your house. They're like, drive me by Chanel's house. I would have been outside the gate, period.

[Chanel Iman]

But why? Before I used to carry bananas in my head, I had no shoes. I was nothing. Like, literally. I used to brush my teeth with sticks. You know, you take the stick, you brush your teeth like that.

[Monet X Change]

I do not know, but I assume

[Chanel Iman]

they grew up in America.

[Monet X Change]

They do it on Survivor. I always wonder why you see this.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah, we talk about Survivor. We have to talk about.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, yeah. And so they do it on Survivor. I was like, why are they using twigs to brush their teeth? Is it really the best cleans?

[Chanel Iman]

It cleans you. Like, literally, you know, like how the gays. You put the water to the douche. Yes. It's like that for the.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Have you. I mean, look at your teeth. The results are resulting.

[Bob the Drag Queen (Ad Segment)]

No.

[Chanel Iman]

And I'm from Puaka Village now.

[Monet X Change]

Have you?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

These are like your organic teeth.

[Chanel Iman]

Yes. Everything in me is organic.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Every. Not even a little bit of Botox.

[Chanel Iman]

No, I just got a Botox for the first time. No, seriously. Three weeks ago. And it gave my face abnormality.

[Monet X Change]

Like what?

[Chanel Iman]

Like one side was up and one side went down. It still hasn't gone back to normal. If you really look at me straight. Oh, I was allergic to it.

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know, so I did Botox once and it didn't work on me because I think my body metabolizes too fast. So what he gave me, it didn't even work.

[Chanel Iman]

Really.

[Monet X Change]

I just wasted my time.

[Chanel Iman]

At least better than being allergic.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, sure. Have you ever douched?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes, I've done colonics.

[Monet X Change]

Colonic. Okay. I want to do a colonic. I heard it's a good tooth.

[Chanel Iman]

It's the best treat. It takes everything out of your asshole.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Apparently. It's really good for you.

[Chanel Iman]

It's really healthy.

[Monet X Change]

But you can't do it often because

[Chanel Iman]

it fucks once a month type of thing.

[Monet X Change]

Once a month?

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah, I used to do once a month. Then it became so expensive in Dubai. It started at 200. Now it's like 500. I'm not paying 500 to clean my ass. I'll go take Dulcolax $20 from the supermarket.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I want to ask about these videos of you going shopping in Indianapolis.

[Chanel Iman]

Indianapolis?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I mean, not Indianapolis in. Where do you live at in the States?

[Chanel Iman]

The spot, Idaho.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

In Idaho?

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I love Boise, right?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

In these you're like, have you been? I have been a Boise. Yeah, I've been to Boise.

[Monet X Change]

Oh my God.

[Chanel Iman]

Really?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You're wearing these. You're like at like the Target, the Walmart. You're at like Claire's. And he's like. He's like in a like huge gown, pushing a shopping cart. Is this just how you dress? Like just for kicks and giggles or.

[Chanel Iman]

Honestly, I'll tell you the truth. Like I said before, I was broke growing up. And I always wanted to have good things. So it's the little girl in me that always wants to dress up. It makes me feel good. And also it's because it comes from anger, pain, frustration. Because my dad loved my sister more than me because she was light skinned and I was dark skinned. So he really hated me in pieces. He would beat me up. Boy, had nice dresses, buy her diamond, like gold and stuff. Always dress her up, but not me. So. So. And then one time, I remember I took my sister's dress to wear to go to my friend's house. And when I came back home, baby, my dad literally took all his anger on me. Beat me up. I was broken. It was so painful. So now it's like, for taking the dress. Yeah. Off my sister. Like I wasn't worth it. Basically. Literally. So for me now it's more. When I dress up is to tell that little girl you're okay. Look at you. That bitch is nowhere. And you're looking fabulous. No, also, fuck her. But, but I. But, but I love her with all my heart. But she's one of my causes of my depression.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

But, but.

[Chanel Iman]

And also it's not her fault that she was loved. You know what I mean? It's not my fault. And she loves me a lot. But I'm just saying, like.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

So she's curvy and stuff too.

[Chanel Iman]

She's curvier. She's prettier.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

She was more the. The African ideal, at least from your village. Standard for beauty.

[Chanel Iman]

Yes, but my mom also told me when I was born, it was the problem of the marriage. So I think like. But look at me. Do I look like a problem? I look like a solution?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Darling, I don't know. You have been the source of a lot of my problems.

[Chanel Iman]

Bitch. You are my problem. You are my problem.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I was so scared.

[Chanel Iman]

Monet. I have no. Do not lie to Monet. Stop, Monet. Do not lie to Monet. Absolutely not.

[Monet X Change]

Here's the thing. But Ian clocked you immediately. Yes, she was one of the people that clocked you immediately.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, no, it was too late.

[Chanel Iman]

No, it was too late because you killed me before I woke up.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Not immediately.

[Chanel Iman]

Monet, let me tell you, Bob is a bitch. I'LL tell you.

[Monet X Change]

I know.

[Chanel Iman]

Okay, so.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

And I would kill both of you if we were in the castle together.

[Chanel Iman]

I believe that Monet wouldn't kill me.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Oh.

[Monet X Change]

Immediately.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, he would.

[Monet X Change]

I know he probably would.

[Chanel Iman]

I swear he would. So you know what happened? Okay, so we are.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Let me trigger Ayan. Nate, grab that thing right on the inside of the door. It's right. If you go out with this. It's right on the inside.

[Chanel Iman]

Are you trying to piss me off?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Bring that back. It's gonna trigger you. You know what I'm talking about, Kane. Go out into the drag lab.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

And then turn it immediately.

[Chanel Iman]

I love you guys.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

That thing right there. That thing right there, honey.

[Chanel Iman]

What thing?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Yeah, you'll know it. Oh, you'll know it when you see it, honey.

[Monet X Change]

And we have a blowtorch that we can.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Oh, you'll know it when you see it, honey.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, this bitch. I'm telling you, this bitch. I'm coming out of the car, okay? And I come out. Bob is there, tall, like an African giraffe, okay? With this big heart, looking fabulous and fantastic. Everybody's basic except me and him. Okay?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

That is true.

[Chanel Iman]

So I come out with my pink look, right? And I'm like, oh, my God, Bob the drag queen is here because I watch Drag Race because my confidence in life came from Drag Race. You guys do so much for us and the Planet app. Just. Thank you, by the way. Yeah. So. So I comes out and I'm like, oh, my God, I am going to be friends with this bitch. So they told all of us to walk into the house. But I love camera. This bitch loves camera. That's where the problem came from. That truth. Okay?

[Monet X Change]

He recognized. He recognized competition.

[Chanel Iman]

Exactly. And he got me out because I was his competition. And I'll tell you why. So we walk into the house, and I'm behind him. I'm behind him, and I'm trying to be like, okay, let's walk together with our couture in the house. That if I knew Bob was so competitive, I would never have done that. I would have hidden from the other ones, you know, and leave him alone. And so. So, yeah, so he comes for breakfast, and I really. I. When I tell you Bob was the only person I kicked. Kissed the ass in the house. I went above and beyond. I'd be like, you look fabulous. Even we look like shit.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

The first breakfast, which never happened, by the way.

[Chanel Iman]

Dead never happened. And this African look that was too colorful, and I'm kissing his ass. You look fabulous, my darling Bob Fabulous. And then he's like, you look good too.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

But I was like, you did look good.

[Chanel Iman]

How can I get to him? Like, I tried. Then the next day, in the morning, I was dead.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I want to be clear. Everyone. Everyone keeps saying. Everyone keeps acting like I was the one. I. We all came to a concept census.

[Chanel Iman]

That is not true when it comes to me. And I have proof.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, they all have to agree.

[Chanel Iman]

Rob. Boston Rob. Boston Rob Boston. Yes.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Why Boston Rob?

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, I always call him Robuston. I love him. We have.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Oh, you love him.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, so much. So with everything. I just had lunch with him and his wife and kids.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, wow.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. Like, I'm family now.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You're with my daughter.

[Chanel Iman]

I know. I was so happy to meet.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I was a girl

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

with this meeting with Rob Boston.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah. What happened? What happened to me?

[Chanel Iman]

So we talked to you. We talked about you. And I was like. He was like, you need to go see Bob. You need to go see Bob. And I was like that.

[Sponsor Voice]

No.

[Chanel Iman]

He goes, you guys, we love each other. You need to go see Bob. And then I asked, of course, about the traitors, how you guys were doing with the podcast. And he said he had the best time with you.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, Boston Roberts is a really.

[Chanel Iman]

He really loves.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Great guy, but because I had. Dorinda also has a thing they keep doing. Like you, Kim. Like, like we in the to. You have to come to a consensus. Everyone has to agree.

[Chanel Iman]

That's not true. When you came to me.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, it is true. They.

[Chanel Iman]

You said. You insisted. You said, if I don't kill a. I am not leaving. If I was on camera. What are you lying? He was on camera. I don't care. It's only Aya. We agree. We not agree. Get the.

[Monet X Change]

It is. I remember the episode you said something similar.

[Chanel Iman]

Thank you.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I watch.

[Chanel Iman]

I've repeated what I was.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Can we have conversation about Ian?

[Chanel Iman]

And I'm not doing anything. If it's only Ian and you can

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

be like, here and fourth, Ayan must die. That is not what I said. I said, can we have a conversation? All I said was verbatim. Can we have a conversation about Ian?

[Chanel Iman]

But why me? I didn't even know what the. Yeah, why me?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I chose.

[Chanel Iman]

Why did you bring me?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

There's a few reasons why I chose you. One, I did not want to kill you the first night because you said that your son said you wouldn't.

[Chanel Iman]

Yes, and I said you wanted to kill me the first night. You fucking knew.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, I didn't. I mean, we knew. I had to Kill you. Here's the reason why I had to kill you. Yeah, well, one, I didn't do the first night because you said, my son said I wouldn't make the first night. So I said, I'm gonna let her make it the first night.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. My son literally say that. Don't.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

So now you showed him with his little business degree in Santa Barbara. And then the second, I kept being like, they will never vote. Ayan. Ayan will never be voted out. No one thinks she's evil.

[Chanel Iman]

No.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

The only way to get Ayan out of the castle is to kill her. So my thought process was, we have to kill people who will. Like, if I would have said at the roundtable, I think Ayan is a traitor, it would have never gotten any traction. They would have turned on you.

[Monet X Change]

Likable.

[Chanel Iman]

I know. People loved me so much. And that was Bob's problem.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Happy Pride, y'.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

All.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

We have been having so much fun partnering with Airbnb. And with Pride celebrations happening all over the country this month, we are so grateful to have somewhere fabulous to lay our little heads in every city this year. I stayed in this stunning mid century modern home for Palm Springs Pride this year. And, baby, it was so cute. Huge backyard, a pool, a full kitchen. And it was just the chef's kiss, cherry on top, to make the whole Pride experience everything. Because here's the thing. When you're traveling as much as we do, drag gigs, comedy shows, filming, flying, vacationing, whatever, booking a home on Airbnb fits our lifestyle. You get space, you get a kitchen, you get a living room. Whether you're heading to Austin, Pride, Chicago, Pride Atlanta, Seattle, wherever your queer journey takes you, Airbnb has options for every situation. Solo trips, group getaways. Maybe the whole squad can come through. Okay, I'm serious. Airbnb makes traveling feel personal. It's not just a place to sleep. It's a part of the experience.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Okay, let's get real for a second.

[Bob the Drag Queen (Ad Segment)]

You know that voice in your head that's like, what if I'm secretly a bad person? Or why did I just have this super disturbing thought? It's not just you. We all get unwanted thoughts like that sometimes. But if those thoughts feel stuck, cause you intense distress, and you spend hours spiraling Googling things and asking your friends, for the one millionth time, if you're a bad person. Am I a bad person? Yeah. You might be dealing with more than just overthinking. It could actually be ocd. And if you're thinking, no, OCD is about being super organized. No, no, no. The stereotypes have it all wrong. Actual OCD is being terrorized by unwanted thoughts that feel urgent and real and doing whatever you can to make the distress from those thoughts go away, like constantly asking for reassurance, avoiding things, or replaying thoughts over and over to try to solve them or get rid of them somehow. But the more tips you give OCD thoughts, the stronger they get. That's what makes OCD so debilitating. But it's also totally treatable when you get the right kind of help. Not all therapy work for all conditions. OCD needs a specialized type of therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention, or erp. Not regular talk therapy, because that can make it worse. That's where NOCD comes in. They're literally the world's leading provider in OCD treatment. NOCD therapists specialize in treating OCD with ERP therapy, and they're trained by experts so they actually know what they're doing and how to help you. Therapy with NOCD is 100% virtual, covered by insurance for over 155 million Americans, and includes support between sessions. So you're not facing this by yourself. So if you've been struggling, don't wait. Go to nocd.com to book a free call and learn today how they can help. That's nocd.com. that's n o c d dot com. Time to take your power back.

[Monet X Change]

You were showing people your boobs. Do you ever show Bob your boobs? That's the problem.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Bob lost the boobs.

[Chanel Iman]

I did not show Bob my boobs. Bob was sitting next to me, looking at me, showing my boobs.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Whose boobs did you show?

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, I showed my boobs to Dylan. Oh, my God, baby. I was selling myself for anything. I was like, nobody's killing this bitch. You want to see an African boob? They're like, I'm like, have you guys ever seen an African. African boob? They're like, no. I'm like, this is your turn. I am. Show the guardian boobs, bitch. I have good boobs. That's how I got the passport for America. It wasn't my pussy. It was the boobs.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

It was the boobs.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. So I showed my boobs, right? And Dylan was there, I think Wells the firefighter, man. Like, I just literally, I thought, who was the hottest? Checked it.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Who is the hottest person in the castle to you?

[Monet X Change]

I think it's Jeremy.

[Chanel Iman]

Jeremy, the black guy, right?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

We all say Jeremy.

[Monet X Change]

I'm telling y'. All. Even on Survivor show.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, my God. And I hugged him. His body is like a stone. His body be. And I've never tried black man yet because I married at 18. If I. If I had a child. But he's married, right?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, he's married.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Y' all both married?

[Monet X Change]

Hey, married with children.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Is your husband like, oh, my God, my wife is so crazy?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes. Oh, my God. Yes. Yes, yes. My son blocks me from Instagram.

[Monet X Change]

Does he really?

[Chanel Iman]

He doesn't follow on Instagram because, like, you are so embarrassing as a person, so. Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

Well, y' all have been married for 30 years. What is the secret to staying married for 30 years ago? Because people can't make it past five years?

[Chanel Iman]

I've heard no. So honestly, for me, I think it's because he's never tried to change me. I think that really has helped our marriage because I'm a lot, you know, so trying to change me. So trying to change me. I think it really, like, affects you because I see my friends who are in relationship and their husband's like, oh. So I went to this wedding. True story. My husband's best friend was getting married. Very wealthy guy from Ireland. Everyone was sitting on the table at the wedding.

[Monet X Change]

Everyone sitting on the table?

[Chanel Iman]

No, like, sitting on the chair.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, got it.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. My English.

Wedding in Ritz Carlton, baby. Expensive. They spend money. They had this Filipino singer and a black guy, dreadlocks, right? Like, DJing. Everyone is sitting like this.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I love this. It's expensive. They had a Filipino singer and a black guy with dreadlocks.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

That's the whole budget.

[Chanel Iman]

I know. No, like, so cool, right?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Chanel Iman]

They are singing that no one is doing anything. So I get up, obviously. Mind you, I have the best dance moves ever. When I tell you best is the worst shit we've ever seen. So I'm dancing. I stand up and I start to dance. Like, I'm like. I'm all over the place, right? They're just sitting there all staring me. The whole room is staring at me, and my husband's like. Like, keep dancing you from the seat and smiling at Me and then coming to join me, and then he went to the bar, and the men were like, your wife is a lot. How do you handle her?

[Monet X Change]

Her?

[Chanel Iman]

And my husband goes, I love her like that. I've never tried to change her. And he goes, your wives are all sitting down. They should dance with my wife.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, that's a nice, beautiful.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Monet does a really bad impersonation of

[Sponsor Voice]

you, by the way.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, I need to know.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

It's really bad. Monet did it last night.

[Monet X Change]

Because I love the way that you printed. You roll your Rs.

[Chanel Iman]

Yes, I do roll my Rs.

[Monet X Change]

You roll your Rs.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

But Monet says. You put Monet. This is Monet's impression.

[Chanel Iman]

Can you tell me.

[Monet X Change]

Tell me, what was this one?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You said, I'm coming on your podcast tomorrow. No, you said, I want to come on your podcast, which is what you said.

[Monet X Change]

She said, I want to come on your podcast.

[Chanel Iman]

Yes. You see, I said, mon, as someone, I was like, I love you. I need to. I want to come to your podcast.

[Monet X Change]

It sounds so. It sounds so romantic.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change]

[Monet X Change]

Okay, wait, so you speak English? Obviously. You speak Arabic.

[Chanel Iman]

I speak money.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What's.

[Monet X Change]

What's what? What's money?

[Chanel Iman]

Money. Give me some money.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You money. Give me some money. You are ridiculous.

[Chanel Iman]

You took my money from me. You owe me money. You don't understand. Sometimes I go to your Instagram and I go, you. I love you, but why the did you take my dream away?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I didn't win the money. It's not my money. I got killed. I got executed or.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, I celebrated when you dead. I fucking celebrated. I used to, like when I was so poor. Poor when my mom could afford bread and soda is when we did something amazing like Christmas or New Eid or something. So when Bob died, I went and got Coca Cola with margarine and bread. White bread, bitch. I don't eat white bread. I'm allergic to that shit. I ate it and I enjoyed it. And then I was like, yeah, Bob is dead.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You are ridiculous. You are a ridiculous person. I was kind to you. We had to kill. You were never gonna be. You were never gonna be bad.

[Chanel Iman]

At the end of the day, I truly, honestly, in my heart love you so much. And you know that.

[Monet X Change]

You know that you keep such a. Such a amazing figure. Do you like. Are you, like, at the gym six times a week? How do you keep your glam?

[Chanel Iman]

This is actually a good question. So I almost died recently. Oh, yeah. I Did nad. Do you know nad?

[Bob the Drag Queen]

No. What's that?

[Chanel Iman]

It's like these vitamins where they inject in your bloodstream. But by the way, this is not heroin. It's from the dress I wore, just to let you know.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Oh, sure, yeah.

[Chanel Iman]

Not heroin, drugs. Yeah, yeah, but something. Yeah, I know, I know. But I was. I was at. I did nad, which is like vitamins to keep you younger. Kim Kardashian is talking about it. I was like this, you know, almost passed away and gone then.

[Monet X Change]

Because of. Because of the vitamins.

[Chanel Iman]

Yes. Then they did my test body test to find out, like, what's wrong with me. Then I found out I have some few issues here and there. So the doctor's like, you have no muscles for your age. So my son texted me videos of women that are in 80s, like when they're crawling like this. And then women that are 80. This black woman that's 80 something years old, I don't know how my son found out on Instagram. And she's so fit and hot and works out. So Taji goes like, mommy, you need to be like her because the other one is going to be hard for me to take care of you. But we feel like this strong is easier. So I started to go to the gym. Pilates, actually, just two months ago.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Okay, good.

[Chanel Iman]

I feel hot.

[Monet X Change]

People love Pilates.

[Chanel Iman]

I feel so good. I'm just like, why haven't I never worked out?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, people love Pilates.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

since we're sitting here and

[Chanel Iman]

we're just giving out compliments, so I'm gonna give you a compliment from my heart. And really, it's beautiful because I think about you like this. When I came to Paris to see you, oh, my God, in drag, I almost had a heart attack. You were stunning.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Oh, thank you.

[Chanel Iman]

Honestly, I swear, the look, you were Wearing. You were so.

And honestly, you were so funny. I loved. Yeah, you, you were so funny and I really enjoyed watching you. And also when I was an audience, I was like, fuck, we could be really good friends if you don't have your jealousy.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Well, I invited you up. We actually have.

[Chanel Iman]

No, you are. Honestly, I love, love that. No, I love.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

We had a blast. We had a real blast. We hit that because here's a picture of me and I am together that night. It was. And that was a beautiful theater.

[Chanel Iman]

Is that tv? No, no, because why are you saying the picture? And I'm looking.

[Monet X Change]

They're gonna put it in in the end and post.

[Chanel Iman]

I'm like, where is it? Except he has a picture. I'm like, it's not tv, people. This is not tv.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Do you remember, okay, so do you remember on the Traitors when everyone kept saying they were survivors?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen (Ad Segment)]

Uhuh.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

What?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

So also did you not notice that I have hair now? I used to be bald.

[Chanel Iman]

No, I just told you earlier, you look fabulous.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Yeah, I had a hair transplant.

[Chanel Iman]

Really? Yeah, girl, I need to do one.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I mean, just wear the wigs also. I mean I've never seen you without, but I feel like you'd be beautiful with bald head too.

[Chanel Iman]

I am bald headed. My husband is bald headed, I'm bald headed. I don't wear a wig when I. We're both two bald headed bitches fucking and sucking each other and eating each other completely.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Not a hair in sight.

Also, can you tell us about this look?

[Monet X Change]

I love Ayan, she's amazing. Ayan, you are. I mean you are like a once in a lifetime, like generational beauty. Like you're stunning.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, you're so sweet.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

So on, on the traitor, they kept being like, I'm a survivor, I'm a survivor. And then you thought that people had just gone through really gruesome, horrible, brutal things.

[Chanel Iman]

Yes, because remember when we walked in, everyone was introducing themselves. So I knew you, I knew Wells, I know the housewives, I know Chrishell and Sierra, of course, Team Sierra, period. And you know, I didn't know most of the other people. People. So when they're introducing themselves, they're like, I'm a survivor. I'm like, oh, Because I'm a survivor of fgm, right? So I'm like, yeah. So, you know, so I thought, like, he's a survivor, right? The other person. I'm a survivor. I'm a survivor. And I. I was just by myself in the bar. It's like, what the. Have these people survived? Because I'm like, what the. Have they survived? So they, like, go to confessionals. So I go to confession. I'm like, do you know who these people. I'm like, honestly, as a survivor, I don't know what these white people from America have survived. I don't know what they've gone through, because America there food. But they keep telling their survivors, I'm like, I've survived Ebola, malaria, Typhoid, Bob in this house. What have they survived? So when I came out, my husband's like, how's everyone? Like, I swear to God, there were people there saying there were survivors. And my husband's like, it's. It's a show. And I'm like, yeah, I've never watched it.

[Monet X Change]

Hilarious.

[Chanel Iman]

Never watched it. So that's how I knew that it was a show.

[Monet X Change]

God, if you felt bad, you were

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

like, oh, my God. Out Survivor.

[Chanel Iman]

So how are they surviving without looks?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

When you got back from the traders, did you like reach out to anyone from the cast?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes. So when I got out of Traitors, I knew Wells died the night before, right? You set him up. So. Well, I didn't set him up. You set up my only friend in the house. So at that moment. And Dylan. Then I was the next one. You hated both of us. So they don't give you your phone. Oh Bob, I have to tell you this because this is literally true story. Before we come back to that. So when I left the castle with a car.

[Monet X Change]

Car.

[Chanel Iman]

They were driving me out. Then we were on the road. I saw you guys. We had to park on the side. And then you guys were gonna Pass. I opened the door of that car because I wanted to chase you down and be like, that is a traitor. And I was gonna do all of that. And the woman's like, sorry, sorry. I will lose my job if you ever do that. I'm like, I'm not gonna let you lose your job. But it was this close for me. Chasing in the car when they were

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

coming back, you know, I could outrun

[Chanel Iman]

you, I think, honey, I'm Kenyan.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Try, try, try.

[Chanel Iman]

Have you ever seen Americans run compared to Kenyans? We take that.

[Monet X Change]

Have you done. Have you ever done any type of sports or anything like that?

[Chanel Iman]

Sports? I'm not a sport person. It's the first time. I'm going to the gym now, and I'm starting to like it.

[Monet X Change]

Okay. Okay.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. I try to play soccer in my village. I would love that. For once in my life, I want to have six packs. I've never had one.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I love those.

[Chanel Iman]

Because when I was a model, I was skinny. Model.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Chanel Iman]

I just need a muscle. But I was skinny. I feed everything.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Is there like, a coalition or like, a sisterhood of these, like, African models who all are, like, you and, like, Alec. Alec Weck and, like, are y' all all, like, in a group chat?

[Chanel Iman]

So, no. So I do talk to, like, Naomi. I talk to my cousin, who's married to Idris Elbar. I talked to uba, who's my cousin. I talked to a few of the Soma Anok. Like, few of the girls. Yeah. Africans. We try to be there for each other.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I thought.

[Monet X Change]

I think he's British, by the way.

[Chanel Iman]

But she's still black.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You know, she's black, but she was. She. Did she ever, like, live in Africa?

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah, yeah, she lived in Kenya.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Oh, I did not know that. I know that.

[Monet X Change]

Is she Kenyan?

[Chanel Iman]

No, she's British.

[Monet X Change]

She's British.

[Chanel Iman]

But she loves Africa. She's loved in Kenya.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Well, her father. Her father was Nelson Mandela. Like, her father, he was, like, her mentor.

[Chanel Iman]

Nelson Mandela is not Naomi's dad. I know this for a fact.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Her father, her, like, mentor. He was. I did this. I also said the word mentor.

[Monet X Change]

No, but I didn't know what this mean.

[Chanel Iman]

But you said father first.

[Monet X Change]

She.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, she. I did this.

[Monet X Change]

Cuz to me, this means, like, she said, he's her father.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Like, no, I said. I said father, and I also use the word mentor. And. But she.

[Monet X Change]

But we both need a clarity.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

She used Nelson. They at home. Did not. Some people are quicker than others. They used. She viewed Nelson Mandela as, like, a father figure to her.

[Monet X Change]

Father figure. That word would have really helped.

[Chanel Iman]

That's better.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I used the word mentor. No, he's the father figure.

[Chanel Iman]

Father.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You didn't put this.

[Chanel Iman]

You did. What does this even mean?

[Monet X Change]

You know, I went longer than you.

[Chanel Iman]

What does this mean? What does this mean?

[Monet X Change]

Well, what do you say? This. This means you're quoting something. So saying this, I would say, like, she's saying that, oh, he's my father.

[Chanel Iman]

My father.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

But it doesn't just mean that. It also means figuratively. You can be like, she's my sister. So it can mean a direct quote. And it can also mean, like, figuratively speaking.

[Monet X Change]

But how are we supposed to know

[Chanel Iman]

which one you're saying exactly?

[Monet X Change]

Use context. We're not in your mind.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

When I said the word mentor, you should have known.

[Bob the Drag Queen (Ad Segment)]

Known.

[Monet X Change]

But you said it after you.

[Chanel Iman]

You said after you told us. Father, you are wrong.

[Monet X Change]

Thank you.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I understand.

[Chanel Iman]

How do you deal?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

It's so hard to get there.

[Monet X Change]

How do you deal with Bob?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

First of all, you're so, so hard to get there. You said something that's very hard.

[Chanel Iman]

Crying for Monet. Monet has gone from Bob.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Monet will be all right, you both. First of all, the fact that I've been in both your lives, you are both so blessed and lucky to have had me.

[Monet X Change]

You're right.

You're a loyal.

[Monet X Change]

I've been seeing clips of people deep throating bananas online and it makes me uncomfortable because.

[Chanel Iman]

Like, your cucumbers too.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Yeah. I feel more comfortable with cucumber. To deep throat a banana, it would

[Chanel Iman]

snap and just cuz your throat is too strong.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Yeah, yeah. Yes, exactly.

[Chanel Iman]

Have you ever broken a penis in your throat?

When I was 18, I didn't know how to do it. I was like, now I know you can't use it.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

When I was 18, I knew.

[Monet X Change]

I've nibbled on the head of a dick to teach him a lesson.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

[Chanel Iman]

Ooh.

[Monet X Change]

Because not a full bite, but just like the little. Like, you know, we just do a little. Just on the.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

What was the lesson?

[Monet X Change]

[Monet X Change]

Every stunning diva.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

20 broke row.

[Monet X Change]

Every stunning diva needs a gay bestie. That's good that. That can be there.

[Chanel Iman]

Listen, my life, honestly, and I'm saying this, my life is so good because of every gay person I've ever met in my life. You know who I just saw, I was supposed to interview when you left? Mama Rue.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob the Drag Queen (Ad Segment)]

Rue.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yes.

[Chanel Iman]

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

She's mother. She's mother.

[Chanel Iman]

She's a mother.

[Monet X Change]

Well, anytime Rue comes to an event, they bring him in.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Ruda.

[Monet X Change]

He does the thing, and they take him out. He. There was like a little, like, VIP place to mingle off. There he went.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Right. Was it Los.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah, they announced. They announced because they gave. Gave him an award, but, you know, they announced his award first. He had to stop that train. They announced his award first, got award left event.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

That's not Play the way it works. RuPaul. RuPaul gets.

[Chanel Iman]

I can stalk him because, you know,

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

and then RuPaul grabs the zip line, shoots up, gets in a helicopter, flies. It might as well be that.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah. RuPaul is a player.

[Chanel Iman]

Really?

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Chanel Iman]

But I can stalk her because she's neighbors with Brandon. But I've been standing outside. I haven't seen her yet.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You will go to everyone's house. You ask at Oprah's house, Meghan Markle's house, RuPaul's house, Paul's house. You know, I love RuPaul, so, you know, so me and Gabby got in trouble on the Traders with the cast because we kept talking about who's rich and who's not rich. We kept going on and on about

[Chanel Iman]

who's rich, who's rich.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

And then one of the people who we assume is very rich, who lives next door to RuPaul in Beverly Hills at the time but doesn't live there anymore, came up to me and Gabby and was like, you all need to stop talking about who has money, because it makes some of us very uncomfortable. And we were like, well, you do have money. And they were like, well, it makes some of us bear because we. We saw. Do you remember the one with. With all the diamonds up the ear?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Diamond, both sides. Diamonds. Giant. I mean, like, literally, literally walking around in minimum 8 or 10 diamonds just on his head.

[Chanel Iman]

Easily. Easily.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

And we were like, that's. That is. You are walking around with at least $500,000 worth of diamonds on your. On your ear right now. And he pulled me and. Me and Gabby aside, like, you need to stop talking about money. We don't like it. Don't do that.

[Chanel Iman]

No. You know what? He told me I was eating a lot of snacks. He's like, you eat a lot of snacks.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, did he really?

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. And I was like, I do eat a lot of snacks. And he. And I'm not. I swear, I don't know exact words. I don't want to put exact words, but I think Wells were there. He was like, you eat. And Robin is like, you eat a lot of snacks. Because if you don't like. I wouldn't eat if. He basically was telling me, if you just lose few, you will be fine. Fabulous.

[Monet X Change]

No. Well, coming from his former line of work, that makes sense.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. But I was also fat at Traders.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You were. Bring up a picture of. Type in Chanel Ian fan.

[Chanel Iman]

[Monet X Change]

I'm not going to take away from your experience of your body.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I am.

[Monet X Change]

But I'm going to say, watching you. That's not my experience of your body. But your experience is valid for your.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I'm going to take it away.

[Chanel Iman]

So I stopped eating snacks at Traitors. I hated those fucking boiled eggs. Who ate boiled eggs? Okay. Did you. The Salmon.

[Monet X Change]

Our salmon was great.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

All Americans eat boiled. Eg we in the morning, all American boiled eggs is a very American snack.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Really?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

So what are like Kenyan snacks for the morning? Like what's the morning? Kenyan breakfast.

[Chanel Iman]

So for Kenyan like my culture, we wake up in the morning, we have tea and a pancake.

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Chanel Iman]

Or you have bread.

[Monet X Change]

Our like our kind of pancakes or different crepes.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You, what are you putting on the pancake?

[Chanel Iman]

When I was poor, there was nothing else.

So do you, so do you like American breakfast? Like bagels, sausage, egg and cheese?

[Chanel Iman]

I just, for the first time in years I've just had pancakes with fried cheese, eggs and the turkey sausage. And I was in heaven. But also I'm ready to leave America cuz there's no way I want to live here because my dress works.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

What's going on in America? What could possibly be.

[Monet X Change]

I wonder what her reasons are.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh my God. So I came in, I went to a fitting, my dress fit perfectly. I've been here two weeks, I go to the event, LA event. And I'm hosting. My skirt rips because my ass grew. Because. Yeah, because. Yeah, no, because you guys have something called protein snacks. So in my mind I'm thinking you're actually eating protein. So I was eating protein cake, protein cheesecake, protein biscuit, protein, this protein water, protein coffee, dry protein car. Who the fuck has protein car in America? You guys?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

By the way, this is a.

[Chanel Iman]

So that ripped.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Just so you know, Monet is the president of the protein epidemic.

[Chanel Iman]

Like how do you guys have so much?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

So I. Monet has protein water. Show her your protein water. Yeah, grab your protein water.

[Chanel Iman]

Why would anyone think to create protein water?

[Monet X Change]

Because I only, I eat the protein to supplement. So I'm not trying to eat like blackberries. Bad stuff. So I'm, I'm, I'm not trying to get so much protein. I'm just trying to balance out things that don't have as high in carbs or fat.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Well, so maybe you're winning in life. I didn't get invited to the lost coach Reese's awards, so maybe You're. Maybe you're the one winning in life. Who knows?

[Chanel Iman]

You didn't get invited.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Did not get the invite. I did also dis the los.

[Chanel Iman]

You need. You need. You need to. You dissed them like, years.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

[Monet X Change]

We won.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I mean, we won the GLAD award over them. And then I said, well, we beat vas culturistas. And. And that was all I said. But I actually don't think they have

[Monet X Change]

any beef with me. But I will.

[Chanel Iman]

If there is, I'll fix it, because I love you. I will say, and I love the boys so much.

[Monet X Change]

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah, me too. You should.

[Chanel Iman]

Her.

[Monet X Change]

Her performance was incredible.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, my God. So iconic.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Can I ask about. Can I ask about a few more breakfast foods that you. The American breakfast.

[Chanel Iman]

Ask me whatever you want. Okay.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Have you had lox yet? Oh, you.

[Monet X Change]

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

[Sponsor Voice 2]

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Have you had chicken and waffles?

[Chanel Iman]

Not yet. In America, I've never. I live In Idaho, baby. 99.9% white people. There's no chicken and waffles there.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

English muffins.

[Chanel Iman]

Love English muffins. Bagels from. I love English muffins from Costco.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, bagels.

[Chanel Iman]

I go to Idaho. That's my favorite thing in Ida. To go to Costco.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

[Chanel Iman]

Yes, I love Costco, so. Yeah. Which one? Other bagels. Bagels. I love bagels.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

[Chanel Iman]

No, cream cheese and tomatoes.

[Monet X Change]

I just made my own protein cream cheese the other day.

[Chanel Iman]

You what?

[Monet X Change]

I just made protein cream cheese.

[Chanel Iman]

Why? They sell them in the supermarket?

[Monet X Change]

No, not. Not the protein one there. A protein one made from Greek yogurt.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, there's a protein one.

[Monet X Change]

Yes.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

It's delicious.

[Chanel Iman]

The one in the supermarket is not protein.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No. Monet got a pro. Monet got protein air. Her air conditioner pumps out protein.

[Chanel Iman]

There's protein chicken chips.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Monet makes them, and they. They smell disgusting.

[Chanel Iman]

Chips.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No.

[Chanel Iman]

The aliens need to come to America and clean the food system.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I. I agree, because Monet is part of the.

[Chanel Iman]

Because there is no way you're. You're literally walking around eating chicken chips.

[Monet X Change]

Okay, so if you leave America, would you go back to Dubai?

[Chanel Iman]

Right now I'm going back to Dubai, and then my son is going to Vietnam, and then I go to London in Paris Fashion Week.

[Monet X Change]

And you guys have houses in all these residences?

[Chanel Iman]

No, I only have house in Dubai, in America.

[Monet X Change]

Okay.

[Chanel Iman]

In Africa, of course. Because of my family, I got them. House. Yeah.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Just the three. Yeah, just the three houses.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. But I. But I really don't live in Idaho that much, so.

[Sponsor Voice]

Got it.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah, you just. I live in Dubai.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Just like a.

[Chanel Iman]

Just like a place.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Can I hang out there sometime?

[Chanel Iman]

Okay. Yeah, you're more than welcome to.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

If I go, I don't want to get.

[Chanel Iman]

No, you're more than welcome to come. The thing is, like, when we moved to Dubai 22 years ago, we never thought that was going to be our home for life. So we always build our home to go back to us. That was the plan. We never thought we'll be there for 22. Two years. And now we've been here there for 23 years and we still live there. But I love it there because I feel so safe. Oh, my God. Can we talk about the children disappearing in America? Since I'm in la, I am in shock.

[Monet X Change]

Yeah.

[Chanel Iman]

Yesterday I couldn't get a hold of my son for like five minutes.

[Monet X Change]

And you were growing crazy.

[Chanel Iman]

I went psychotic because every day my phone goes Amber Alert. Where are the children going?

[Monet X Change]

Well, you know, it wouldn't be an

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Amber alert for a 20 year old.

[Chanel Iman]

No. I didn't get it.

[Monet X Change]

They have ambulance for on like not 20 year olds. On the ones, the yellow ones. The one that comes on your phone does not discriminate on age. It's. It's like, it depends on how grave it is.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I mean, it's not amazing. It's like, what's a Silver alert? It's called a Silver Alert. And Amber alert is when it's like children.

[Monet X Change]

I got it.

[Chanel Iman]

But America, I have never experienced anything. Honestly. Huh.

[Monet X Change]

Caroline from. Caroline Stansbury, she talks about like, how safe Dubai is. She was like, she was like, come. When I come here to America, I'm worried about my kids, blah, blah, blah. When I'm back home in Dubai, she was like, I feel 100% safe that we're saved.

[Chanel Iman]

It's true.

[Monet X Change]

But we're still brainwashed to think that America is this like amazing safe place when it's really not.

[Chanel Iman]

No, it's not. Honestly. And I love being America because I'm American now. Because of course I sucked for the things I have. But other than that, it's like really unsafe. It's really unsafe.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

I know.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

America is a very dangerous neighborhood. I mean, they're. There's. I'm willing to bet you money there was probably a shooting in the past seven days.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah, for sure. There was today, 24 hours.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. That's just. That's so sad for me, the stealing of children. Because I grew up in a village. Nobody wants your child because nobody can feed all of us. But I don't know why they're taking these people's kids.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Yeah. I don't know. The child trafficking is like. It's like. It's like.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, you think it's that?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, yeah. I mean, a lot of it. They're. What's her name? Gayle King has a whole thing about human trafficking.

[Sponsor Voice]

She's.

[Monet X Change]

She talks about. She's a big. Not advocate for. Against trafficking. And the stats on trafficking, it will shock you, like how often. It's always happening.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

So Dubai has anti paparazzi laws.

[Chanel Iman]

You cannot take a picture of anyone in Dubai.

[Monet X Change]

What do you mean? Like, if I go on the street, I can't take a picture of anyone on my phone?

[Chanel Iman]

No, you can take pictures of yourself and people you are around by asking them permission, but you cannot just take your phone and start just snapping people out of nowhere. Because in Dubai, we have the president walking in the mall. Like, you can say, hi. They're very friendly. The kings. They're friendly. You can say hi, you can take. But it's like illegal to take pictures of people and just post them on social media, media without their permission. So, like the, the rules in America is so different. Like paparazzi for you guys. You go out, you can just. Any picture can be out. It's not like that.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I couldn't imagine not being able to take a picture of someone because there, there's basically. There's practically nowhere in LA or New York or like big cities where you're not being filmed.

[Chanel Iman]

I know.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Like, you are constantly being filmed.

[Monet X Change]

You mean like cctv?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, between people, social media, people like, like security, everything. There's like, you're, you're, you're being.

[Chanel Iman]

Oh, you mean like. Oh, no, no, like outside. We have the best cameras in Dubai. Is that what you mean?

[Monet X Change]

Oh, no. So you guys have public cameras for safety?

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah, we are the best of the best.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

But I can't just be like, click, I saw Chanel.

[Monet X Change]

I am.

[Chanel Iman]

No, you cannot.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

What happens?

[Chanel Iman]

It's illegal.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

But what's the punishment? Do you know?

[Chanel Iman]

I don't know, I've never used it. But they're just telling people to respect people.

[Bob the Drag Queen]

Yeah.

[Chanel Iman]

Like, let people be. So we don't do that in America.

[Monet X Change]

What a clip.

[Chanel Iman]

So for example.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Example.

[Chanel Iman]

For example, like, you can see David Beckham in the mall. Like the literally celebrities In Dubai. Walk in peace. Literally walk in peace. Nobody's chasing you around. Nobody cares. I go to the mall with no makeup in Dubai.

[Monet X Change]

Okay? So they don't. So let's say Beyonce goes to the mall in Dubai. People will not mob her.

[Chanel Iman]

We will mob Beyonce.

[Monet X Change]

What I say.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I was like, if.

[Monet X Change]

If Rihanna.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

If Rihanna's walking around the mall in

[Monet X Change]

Dubai, she's getting egg mobbed.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. You know, I'm very good friends with that.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Don't, girl.

[Chanel Iman]

I am like, I text. We text each other.

[Monet X Change]

She's.

[Chanel Iman]

I swear, she's the nicest person ever.

[Monet X Change]

I can tell.

[Chanel Iman]

Like, I party with. I went to dinner with her, and I'm telling you, she is so funny, but so beautiful. And she sent me the most beautiful message that I framed in my house. Can I read it for you? Because I didn't even understand the English obsessed with, like. I'll tell you what she sent me. The first message she sent me.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Can you do it? And can you do it in Rihanna's accent?

[Chanel Iman]

I cannot. I wish. She has the.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

The Beijing.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah. She goes. She goes. So I went to dinner with her, right? She goes, a. It's really. I had so much fun at dinner. Your top tier hangout status. I was like, top tier hang. I was like, what is top tier?

[Monet X Change]

That means that, like, you're like.

[Chanel Iman]

And like, I've never heard of that.

[Monet X Change]

It's like her list of people she hangs out with. You're like, in the top, so. Which is probably millions of people.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

You want to prepare people to hang out.

[Monet X Change]

I want to prepare people to hang out with.

[Chanel Iman]

That was so. I was like, what is Dr. Youngsters? But this what really cut my ass. She was like, I'm sure you know that. And I was like. Because I worship her and I really admire her. I can text her about anything. She's the most sweetest girl in the world, you know? But this is what she sent to me that really. She goes, I hope there's something or someone in this world that gives you love. You are such a. You bring a lot of light.

[Monet X Change]

Oh, I love that, babe.

[Chanel Iman]

I framed it in my house because I want to wake up every morning and just remind. Because, you know, like, sometimes you don't think you're a bad and stuff. You know, we have those days. And just like now, every day, I'm a bad bitch.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

If I write you a message. That's nice. Can we get it framed?

[Chanel Iman]

Yes, please. Yeah. I want to say something from you. I will frame it, I promise you, and I will send you A video of me framing. Because you owe me a good message and some money.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I sent you tons of great messages.

[Chanel Iman]

Yeah, you do.

[Monet X Change]

But the money part. Send the money.

[Chanel Iman]

The money. Send me the money.

[Monet X Change]

Send the money.

[Chanel Iman]

Send me the money. You know I'm a Somali pirate. You played with the wrong one. I'm a Somali pirate. You played with the.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Are you Kenyan or Somali? Which one is it?

[Chanel Iman]

Bloody Somali.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Wait, Dylan has the money. Get it from him. Gabby has the money. Lord Ivor has the money.

[Chanel Iman]

[Monet X Change]

I see that. For you, Ayan.

[Chanel Iman]

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Not mine.

[Chanel Iman]

Thank you.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Well, we have a thing on the podcast where Monet is trying to get in Rihanna's good graces, and I want to know if you can help us with this.

[Chanel Iman]

You're lying.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, no. Because what happens is Rihanna invites a lot of drag queens to come work with her.

[Chanel Iman]

Yes.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

But we. For whatever reason, we don't.

[Monet X Change]

We.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

We actually can't figure it out. Why she won't.

[Monet X Change]

It's because of Bob. Cuz Bob comes on this podcast and he like, makes fun of her accent. And I think she's associating me with Bob.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I don't make fun of Rex. I do her accent. Why?

[Chanel Iman]

Why would you do that?

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I don't make fun of accent. Just like when you. When. When you making fun of sh. We did her accent.

[Monet X Change]

Bob, you hold the. You'd be like.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Because I didn't get you. I'm doing my best.

[Monet X Change]

One time you said that. She sounds like Sebastian.

[Chanel Iman]

Sound like that.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

No, she does. Okay.

[Chanel Iman]

She's so romantic.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

I'll do my Rihanna.

[Monet X Change (Co-host)]

Hold on, wait, let me do it. Let me do. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll just read. Can you give me something to read? Give me the Gettysburg Address and I'll read it as I can.
