Shenseea
Thank you.
Bobby
Do you do your own makeup? Always.
Shenseea
I always do my own makeup recently because I figured that, you know, especially when I have a video shoot, when I start shooting, I look so fat because of how many layers are on my face. Sometimes you can't even see my dimple.
Bobby
You have a dimple?
Shenseea
I do.

Oh, how cute.
Shenseea
This one right here. I gotta force it out sometimes, but it's there.

Shenseea
Oh my God. As soon as you said that, I had a really nice pom pom shorts for you.
Bobby
What is that?
Shenseea
It's like one that squeezes your pom pom and your ass is out. I forgot it. Oh my God. How could I?

Bobby
Okay.
Shenseea
I think your viewers would love to see you like that.
Bobby
Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. It's not. It's not the same as seeing you like that.
Shenseea
Bobby in Jamaica in the pom pom shorts.
Bobby
Oh, my God. That would be crazy. Do you. Do you go to the ocean a lot?
Shenseea
I do, Especially when I'm traveling. Jamaica is still my favorite place to be on Earth.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
No, it's so exotic here. The food is amazing.
Bobby
Everyone is so nice.
Shenseea
They're energetic.
Bobby
They're so sweet. I've never met kinder people in my life. Every person that works here, usually there's like a rude person at a hotel. Everybody here. So nice.
Shenseea
Well, in tourism, I think that the hospitality. The team is really great. You know, they're very professional, I must say.
Bobby
So pretty. This. This view. The water is so clear. You can see fish in it.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
Do. Do you.
Shenseea
It's not like America, for sure. No.
Bobby
I don't go to my beaches.
Shenseea
Yeah. And it's cold in la.
Bobby
Yeah. I like Miami because the beaches, though.
Shenseea
But that's kind of if every time I'm there, it's like, so gloomy. I feel like a shark is nearby.
Bobby
Yeah. This is much clearer. You can see all the fish, so I feel safe.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
I don't know if I want to swim with fish because I don't want them to touch me.
Shenseea
Why?
Bobby
They touch you?
Shenseea
Yeah. I let them pick on you. Dead flesh on your toes. No.
Bobby
You let them do that to you?
Shenseea
I don't let them. They just do it. I don't command the fish. They just do it.
Bobby
That's okay. Well, I don't know about that. Personally, I feel like that would freak me out. Yeah. But I have done that at a place, you know, I went to on vacation once and I. They'd have the bowls where you put your feet in and the fish do that? Yeah.
Shenseea
It's a type of pedicure. No.
Bobby
Yeah. What is it called?
Shenseea
I don't know.
Bobby
I don't know.
Shenseea
I've never had it. I just had it against my own will. When I go into ocean here, I.
Bobby
Think it's worse that I've had it for. I chose to do it. That's. That's crazy.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
I like your tattoos. I like.
Shenseea
Thank you.
Bobby
What is it? Oh, that's your nickname on your arm.
Shenseea
Yeah, mine and my fan bases.
Bobby
I love that. How. How long have you been famous? That feels weird. Do you. Do you like being called famous? I feel like. Do you?
Shenseea
No, it's nothing. To me, you know, like, I don't, I don't. I don't really dwell on statuses, you know, and importance of a status. It's like, for me, it's as long as I'm a good person inside and out, that's what makes me feel whole, you know, and, you know, the perks just come with being known. Yeah. I don't complain about it, but I would be okay if I didn't have it either, you know?
Bobby
Yeah. Has your life changed a lot since you've gotten big?
Shenseea
Yeah. But nothing to complain about. It has been truly amazing.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
Definitely leveled up because how I was raised and where I am now and the circumstances that I was under a couple years ago, like, I feel chosen now.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
You know, I have no complaints.
Bobby
You're. I read that you were half Korean. Is that.
Shenseea

Sorry. Does your dad still live in Jamaica?
Shenseea

Bobby
Oh, my God. You have your son, right?
Shenseea
Yeah, my son, but my dad, I heard that he left when she was like six or eight months pregnant.
Bobby

Shenseea
Oh, when are you going for the boy?
Bobby
Hopefully one day. Do you want more kids?
Shenseea
I do, but I'll be okay if I don't have any more because my son is so wholesome. Yeah, he's very entertaining. He's amazing. Everybody loves him. Everybody. He's eight.
Bobby
My kids are two and four, so they're still really little. But my four year old is becoming more, you know, they become more of someone you can talk to as they get older and she's getting there now at 4. Yeah, she's like cute. She has opinions. She Tells me about her day.
Shenseea
Oh, Lord, they're sassy. You think the girls.
Bobby

Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
They're manipulative already. I'm like, how did you. How. You're four.
Shenseea
I love being a boy, mom. I think I would. One more boy and a girl or two more boys and a girl.
Bobby
I would love two boys.
Shenseea
Yeah, the boys are amazing. I don't know what it feels like to raise girls, but I hope I.
Bobby
Have a boy in my life.
Shenseea
Yeah, you should.
Bobby
You're a single mom. So what does your day look like?
Shenseea
It varies. I'm really flexible.
Bobby
Like, physically flexible?
Shenseea
Yeah, that too. That, too. But I move around a lot, so I get to talk to my son every single day. Maybe two or three times every day on FaceTime. When I'm not around him.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
And when I'm around him, I just want to stay around him. We have so much fun. I drop him off at school in the mornings, go do gym, pick him back up, then we go have a fun day or something.
Bobby
How. What grade is he in?
Shenseea
Is that third grade? Yeah.
Bobby
How cute. My kid just started preschool, so we're not fully there yet. It's hard leaving them during the day.
Shenseea
It is. It is. But, you know, at first. Yeah. And now he's like, he wants to cook now, and he wants to walk to school by himself. I'm like, you growing up way too quick for me, baby.
Bobby
Are you. Do you cook?
Shenseea
I do cook. I love to cook. You don't cook?
Bobby
No. Why?
Shenseea
I can't cook.
Bobby
I just don't have anybody to cook for. And my kids. You got two kids. They don't.
Shenseea
They won't pick.
Bobby
I do. I do not. I give them. I order food every meal, almost.
Shenseea
Oh, my God.
Bobby
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Shenseea
That's sad.
Bobby
I know.
Shenseea
I don't.
Bobby
I can't. They have it bad. She's gonna come over and cook for my kids because of how bad they have it.
Shenseea
Oh, my God.
Bobby
You need to cook for them.
Shenseea
Yeah, for sure.
Bobby
I feel like they won't eat it. I also. I guess I don't really know how to cook.
Shenseea
I think they won't eat it either.
Bobby
Now, what do you cook?
Shenseea
Because you say you don't know how to cook. I don't think they're gonna eat it.
Bobby
Because they just order out for every meal. Like, I can't compare to.
Shenseea
Oh, my God. That's crazy. What do I cook? I cook rice and peas, chicken. I love to cook anything seafood. I love noodles, too. You give them ramen I love ramen. I do ramen a lot, too.
Bobby
You said you lived in Miami and LA?
Shenseea
Miami, LA and Jamaica right now.
Bobby
You live all three places or just Miami?
Shenseea
I just moved from LA. It's too depressing over there.
Bobby
I don't know anything else, so I can't. I guess I just like it out of.
Shenseea
Oh, no, you stay here in Jamaica because they're gonna tell you the real truth.
Bobby
In Jamaica?
Shenseea
Yeah. They keep you real? 100%.
Bobby
That's nice. I don't know. I don't leave my house in LA either.
Shenseea
So. How would you know what I'm even talking about?
Bobby
I don't. I guess I just know based on the few people. I don't really go out in LA or anything.
Shenseea
Yeah, it's weird, too. One time I went on a date and the guy said, you want to come over? My house cost $4 million. I was like, no, I can't do this.
Bobby
He told you? Yeah, it cost $4 million. Why did he tell you?
Shenseea
I don't know. I said, I got to do me date my house.
Bobby
That's weird. That's weird information to give up.
Shenseea
So I was like, okay, this is weird.
Bobby
I wouldn't go on a date with him either. If you say that. That's a weird thing to say to someone.
Shenseea
Weird. But what do you look for in the boyfriend? It's so hard to say because I feel like when you do state what you look for, they come up and they put on that face, you know?
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
To lure you in. And then it's like, okay, a couple months later, who is this? Or a couple years later, who is this?
Bobby
But what, you know, guys that you've picked. What attracts you to them?
Shenseea
Chivalry, for sure. I love a gentleman, somebody who can hold good conversations. I don't like a boaster.
Bobby
A what?
Shenseea
Boaster. You know, like somebody who's gonna talk their shit all the time.
Bobby
I don't like that either.
Shenseea
Yeah, I don't like somebody like that. Have a broad vocabulary. They read because it's better to have an understanding with that person.
Bobby
Do you read?
Shenseea
I do read.
Bobby
What do you read?
Shenseea
I used to read novels a lot until now. I'm doing a lot of business books. Business book? Yeah, and talking about life and values and spiritual books as well. I love the spiritual books as well. Right now I'm reading a Rick Warren book. So good.
Bobby
Okay. I've heard of them. I haven't read his. Yeah, I read a lot of non fiction.
Shenseea
I don't think I've read A non fiction book, if I'm being honest now. I mean, the ones are about values that I'm. I'm reading.
Bobby
No. Yeah, those are technically none, but.
Shenseea
But it's not like a person's life.
Bobby
I like reading. Those are autobiographies. I love autobiographies.
Shenseea
No, I don't get into that yet.
Bobby
Try, Try. Yeah, I just. Trevor. Noah.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
Read his book. I love his book. Trying to think of who else, huh?
Shenseea
Why I'm talkboat.
Bobby
You need to read Born a Crime.
Shenseea
Born of crime.
Bobby
Yeah. And then Born a Crime and then. I don't know. I like sad books about people with like, sad. I like seeing that they turned their life around like they had a happy ending, you know?
Shenseea
Oh, my God.
Bobby
That's what I read.
Shenseea
Does it motivate you?
Bobby
Yeah, it just makes me feel like.
Shenseea
Oh, they can you have a happy life right now?
Bobby
I'm getting there. No, I don't know. I don't know. Not yet. No. I love having kids, but I am divorced.
Shenseea
I don't believe in divorces. You'd have to die to. I swear to God.
Bobby
Yeah, I didn't. I met him when I was 21. I got married so young.
Shenseea
Yeah. I wouldn't do that.
Bobby
When you were 21.
Shenseea
Yeah. No, because I do believe in love and I believe in long relationships. My whole family, they are married. There are no divorces in my family. They've been growing together ever since they went to high school. But the gen. Yeah, it's so amazing. So my standards are pretty high.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
When it comes down to finding a partner. Because I grew up around people who, you know, cherish love. You know, my grandparents are still together till this day.
Bobby
That's amazing.
Shenseea
So it's like, I don't play about stuff like that. And since it's, you know, the new generation, it's like, it's so weird these days, you know?
Bobby
Yeah. I hope I get married again one day and just forever. If I get divorced twice, though, I'm done. I'm gonna jump off a cliff because that's crazy.
Shenseea
I don't believe in divorces. I always tell anyone who is trying to talk to me about marriage that it's death row, baby. I'm not playing. No. Because once I throw in the towel, it's for good. Like, I'm really committed to you my whole life, to God and you, you know.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
Anything that pops up after that. No divorce. No. To death, do us part.
Bobby
Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I mean, next time for me, it's not too late. It's not too late to do it again. It's too late for us. No, it's not too late to get back together.
Shenseea
No, not get back. Oh, it's not too late.
Bobby
I gotta get to murder him.
Shenseea
What do you mean, pretty much you say, not me.
Bobby
Okay. It's not too late. No, I, I was not. We was. It was a mutual one for us. We were just like. I met him when I was so young. I was like. I mean, I was 21.
Shenseea
How long did the marriage last for?
Bobby
Four years.
Shenseea
Oh, my God. Yeah, I'm sorry.

Shenseea
Big bird, dear Bash, Big festival.
Bobby
What do you expect? Cuz right now. Well, I'll tell you what I first expected before I saw billboards, cuz now my expectations have changed. But what I first expected when they were like, it's her birthday and you can come to her party, I pictured a restaurant maybe.
Shenseea
Oh.
Bobby
Or maybe like just, I don't know, just low key. I pictured not too many people. Your family, your friends. That's what I pictured when I saw billboards. I was like, what? This is not gonna be what I thought actually.
Shenseea
It's normally like that, you know, it's normally like that because I'm a really.
Bobby
Oh, it's normally low key.
Shenseea
Low key? Yeah, I'm a low key person, you know, Like I love to be surrounded by genuine people in my life and so I don't keep a lot of friends and I. All my people who are around me, they've been with me for years, almost over five, six years counting, you know, so it's normally low key, but this year my manager decided to celebrate me differently. So he said he's gonna throw me a party. I don't know what to expect if I'm being honest. He's like the best promoter in Jamaica. So he Always does it big. Always go crazy. So I've seen some of the designs, but I really don't know what to expect tomorrow. I'm just happy that, you know, people who love me are gonna be there as well, supporting me.
Bobby
My family love you.

They do?

Bobby
Okay. I've had rum punch.
Shenseea
Yeah, and you can run spirits with it, too.
Bobby
What does that mean?
Shenseea
Bad spirits. It's a Jamaican saying.
Bobby
What do you. Can you explain it?
Shenseea
You know, like obia or what we call in Jamaica. Like doppy? No, it's like ghost type. It's another word for ghosts that we call here. Like, doppy.
Bobby
And you use rum to get rid of them?
Shenseea
Yeah, splash it.
Bobby
So you don't use sage.
Shenseea
Sage, I think, to me, is an American thing. Yeah, we're more with. On the white rum side, burn some incense, but not sage. Sage. Just, like, some different type of incense, some bush, and rub up with some pimento and stuff.
Bobby
You're saying so many things I've never heard of. Pimento.
Shenseea
Pimento. That's like, all spice in America, you know, that little. I can't tell you nothing. You don't cook.
Bobby
You're right. Well, no, I. I know ingredients.
Shenseea
Pimento. Pimento is like. It's this little ball like this, and sometimes they crush it and they call it ice. All spice in America.
Bobby
I know, I guess you can't tell me anything. Yeah, no, because you're right. I don't know that.
Shenseea
Oh, Lord. We're going to have to introduce you to it. Ah, man, I wish I had so much more time with you because then I would be able to, you know, really introduce you to the culture. But you need like a week.
Bobby

Shenseea
I would wear anything. Nothing.
Bobby
That's because you look like that.
Shenseea
I don't even how I look.
Bobby
What do you mean? You're actually perfect.
Shenseea
You don't have any flaws. She keeps saying that. She's lying.
Bobby
Guys, there is not one person that would disagree with that. I bet you've never been called ugly in your life.
Shenseea
No.
Bobby
Yeah, okay. Exactly. That's not. That's rare.
Shenseea
And I'm not even talking about, you know, the exterior I think many people have really complimented me and that's one of my favorite compliments to hear that I'm a good person, you know?
Bobby
Yeah. You. You're so sweet.
Shenseea
Thanks.
Bobby
I was like, you never know. I don't know. But you're so sweet.
Shenseea
Yeah. I think I'm cool.
Bobby
You're pretty cool.
Shenseea
Thanks.
Bobby
I'll give you that. You're pretty cool.
Shenseea
Wait till we touch the river.
Bobby
Why? You become cooler in the river. We see what happens.
Shenseea
Keep the cameras on.
Bobby
Keep the cameras on. What happens to you in the river?
Shenseea
I come alive.
Bobby
You come alive. What are your biggest goals for your career?
Shenseea
I think I have to get a Grammy. You will, because it. It has been a childhood dream for me. You know, just growing up and watching MTV and, you know, VH1BT all of that, like, and seeing the award shows. I think from a longer time I was like, I have to get one of those when I get older. It's not even that I'm materialistic. It's just a dream.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
You know, to have one. And I've achieved almost everything that I wanted to achieve in my life, in my careers thus far. So a Grammy is up next. And, you know, I'd like to have a diamond record, too.
Bobby
I think you can. Are going to do both of those.
Shenseea
Thanks. That's the top of the top diamond record. And to do a stadium tour.
Bobby
A stadium tour.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
I can see a lot for you, too. You just went on tour, didn't you?
Shenseea
Yes, I did my theater tour. So fun.
Bobby
Was it?
Shenseea
Yeah. I'm looking forward to doing more tours. And now we're going on tour, arena tour with Jhene Aiko.
Bobby
Where?
Shenseea
With Jhene Aiko. Oh, wait, where in America? In some spots that I've never been.
Bobby
Okay.
Shenseea
So I thought it was, you know, a great opportunity to join her as well.
Bobby
When are you guys going in?
Shenseea
Late November to early December.
Bobby
I can travel. Don't worry. Clearly, I'm in Jamaica right now.
Shenseea
Yeah, yeah. Worldwide traveler now. You came to Jamaica? It's your first time?
Bobby
Yeah. Wow. I mean, this is. I've never gone out of the country for someone. I've been out of the state. I've never left the country to go to somebody. I actually said yes so quickly when it was brought up.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
They were like, would you be interested in going to Jamaica to interview her? And I was like, yeah. That's all it took. I can't believe it actually happened.
Shenseea
The school.
Bobby
Yeah. It was a. It's a trek to get here because I Was in Ohio.
Shenseea
Oh, yeah.
Bobby
I was in Ohio for an event, so I had to fly here from Ohio. Have you been to Ohio?
Shenseea
No. I heard about it, though.
Bobby
There is. It's so hard to get anywhere there. There's no, like. It's so. I don't even know how to describe it other than that we. We called an Uber at 3am and we didn't get picked up till 4am Jesus. I don't know. I've never. That was crazy.
Shenseea
Okay, I don't have to go there.
Bobby
Then don't go to Ohio. Oh, I am, like the biggest Ohio hater for some reason. I got my. During the show there. I definitely said that and then was like, I'm saying that to a crowd full of people who live in Ohio. Why would I say that?
Shenseea
Oh, Lord.
Bobby
I don't actually. It's not horrible there, but it is, like, very different.
Shenseea
Is it like a Texas vibe?
Bobby
Yeah, right. Would you say Texas?
Shenseea
I thought you. You said you didn't like people. So you don't like that hemis. That atmosphere, like.
Bobby
Well, I like being able to call an Uber and it gets to my house in five minutes.
Shenseea
Oh, yeah, you sports.
Bobby
They. We had them deliver KFC to our hotel here last night. Oh, yeah.
Shenseea
Urea Sports. Where'd you get that?
Bobby
H. I called the. The front desk and they. They delivered it.
Shenseea
Oh, wow.
Bobby
Who did it? I think it was a whole thing. I don't even know how much that cost. It was like. They got. I think some. Maybe one of the employees got in a taxi to go pick it up. I was like, do you guys have delivery services here?
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
They were like, no, no, no. And then we were like, how do we get to a KFC that's eight minutes away? When they. They sent someone to go pick it up for us, it was very sweet. Oh, that's so good too.
Shenseea
Oh, yes. It's the best KFC ever.
Bobby
I've heard that you had to get it in Jamaica.
Shenseea
Yes.
Bobby
It's nothing like. I don't know if I've actually had it at home, but it was so good.
Shenseea
No, once you eat it here, you're never gonna like it anywhere else.
Bobby
That's so funny, because it's. I feel like it's not good. People say it's not good in America, but out here, it's.
Shenseea
It's actually, I've had it in America, but it's not good like, here. For. To me, like, Jamaican food is the best food on the. In the world.
Bobby
What else should I eat?
Shenseea
Yeah. Other than kfc, Jerk chicken. If you eat pork, you can have jerk pork roast fish with a lot of okras and peppers and bami. What else is good here? Chinese food is really good here too, in Kingston that I know about.
Bobby
Yeah, it's random.
Shenseea
You have Chinese express T garden Chinese.
Sponsor
People here a lot.
Bobby
Really?
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
From China.
Shenseea
No. No. Yeah.
Bobby
I don't know.
Shenseea
It's a lot of mixed people here. People. I don't know what the stereotype is like. You know what? People think that when you mention Jamaicans, but we have all different types of people here.
Bobby
I didn't really realize I'm so geographical challenged. And I've never left really until I was older, the US But I did not realize how close you guys were to Miami. Yeah, it's an hour and a half flight. That's so close.
Shenseea
I love it there because it's not too far away from home.
Bobby
Yeah, you're so close.
Shenseea
Yep.

Shenseea
H-E-L-P.com bobby some things I'm living now, 10 years ago, I would have never thought existed. So it's like I'm on a different level now, and I'm seeing more and different stuff and how people move, you know, on the level that I'm on, you know, how private they are, but still loud at the same time. It's so exciting. So I feel like the higher up I go. I'm talking about. About in the political world. That's the highest way. That's the highest.
Bobby
To me, you want to get into.
Shenseea
Politics things and not too deep in it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not too deep in it at all. I think it's. That's something that I couldn't deal with because I'm a very. I do stand up for justice a lot, and so I can't deal with too much injustice. Yeah, that makes it easy.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
But what do you mean the highest up, then? Just.
Shenseea
No, like the Secret Service and stuff? Yeah, but I want to see what they deal with.
Bobby
Oh, you want to see what they do? You don't want to become them?
Shenseea
No, sir, not at all. I just want to be around to see what real problems they have at that level. You know, how deep it is. Like, who's gonna send a rocket?
Bobby
I don't want to know that.
Shenseea
I want to know.
Bobby
You want to know about.
Shenseea
When are we going to spend quick trip to space with Elon?
Bobby
Oh, I feel like you could do that soon. Do you want to, though? Those people just got stuck. They're still up there.
Shenseea
Oh, no. I'm definitely going to space. But it's the reason why it's the last on my bucket list, because you.
Bobby
Need to wait till they really have advanced it.
Shenseea
No, Just might not come back. Just. I might not come back. I might get lost somewhere. So at least I know I've done everything on Earth that I would love to do.
Bobby
Okay.
Shenseea
And then that's last on my bucket list. Yeah.
Bobby
Would you ever be like those people who went to the Titanic down there and got.
Shenseea
No, sir. I'm very fascinated with the ocean, but I think I'm gonna explore it when I die.
Bobby
And the Top of it. Do you like inside is crazy. I would never.
Shenseea
It's so dark.
Bobby
Summary?
Shenseea
No.
Bobby
And you can't breathe.
Shenseea
Yeah. I'm claustrophobic too. Yeah, I probably. I prefer to be up in the air and looking down. Then down in the ocean. Being compressed by a lot of weight and darkness.
Bobby
Yeah. I don't want to do that.
Shenseea
And big fish.
Bobby
Absolutely not. No. That sounds like the worst thing.
Shenseea
But I do think there's another world under there though.
Bobby
Under there?
Shenseea
Yes.
Bobby
Really?
Shenseea
Of course. Megalodons come from.
Bobby
What is that?
Shenseea
The massive sharks.
Bobby
They just swim.
Shenseea
The Bermuda Triangle. What's over there?
Bobby
Oh, I don't know about that.
Shenseea
I think something is over.
Bobby
Would you fly over?
Shenseea
No. No. I would like to go there though. Justice know what's happening.
Bobby
Like to go there. So you have to pick one. You're either going to go to the Bermuda Triangle or you're going to go to the moon. But one of those you can't do. You can't do both. What's coming?
Shenseea
Like I'm really curious. What happens at the Bermuda Triangle? I. I need to figure it out.
Bobby
Send someone else.
Shenseea
I want to know. But I don't know if it's like a whirlpool or something or it's another world that isn't. I don't know.
Bobby
We believe in aliens.
Shenseea
Of course. We're aliens.
Bobby
Okay.
Shenseea
We're aliens.
Bobby
Okay. Yeah, I guess you're right.
Shenseea
For real? Yeah.
Bobby
I believe in them too. I don't like that though. Do you like that? Do you think about that?
Shenseea
I think the universe was meant to be shared. I know. Only living for sure.
Bobby
But I want them to be so far away that we never meet them. Why? Because what if they're not? What if they're like the movies?
Shenseea
Like another you?
Bobby
No, like monsters that are gonna come kill us because they think about how we treat ants. That's how I feel like they're gonna.
Shenseea
I treat ants really well. I don't know what you do to the ants.
Bobby
What do you do when you see an ant? Kill it. You kill the ant. I don't want to be an ant. And that's what I fear. We are.
Shenseea
No, I don't think so. I don't think so. I think if that was supposed to happen it would have been happen long ago.
Bobby
They haven't found us yet.
Shenseea
But we are so smart and we can go on into their world. But I think that certain things are just not supposed to be known yet. Because maybe we've tried but nobody has ever came back. To tell the tale. You know, maybe they're. They're here in Area 51, but we don't know either.
Bobby
That's true. I do believe the government definitely knows about whatever it is.
Shenseea
Of course.
Bobby
Because they keep kind of telling us that I don't love.
Shenseea
That's why I tell you that we need to work and get to that level so we.
Bobby
So we know.
Shenseea
We know.
Bobby
I want to get to the level that when, if things ever go bad, we get out with a special high tier of people that obviously are going.
Shenseea
To go somewhere you wouldn't look to save others?
Bobby
No. What do you mean?
Shenseea
Oh my God.
Bobby
I take my kids and I take my family. I want to go there.
Shenseea
Oh Lord.
Bobby
I think your kid, your family, you got to go there. You want to be left behind. It's not going to be. We're not going to be the saviors do. What are you going to do to save people? We're going to be killed.
Shenseea
Everybody's going to die at some point though.
Bobby
Yeah. I'm not dying brutally. I don't want to do that.
Shenseea
I think I die happily. I'd be okay. As long as my belly is full or from an orgasm. I'll be okay.
Bobby
Oh my God. I did not expect you to say that. Yeah, okay. It's crazy.
Shenseea
Happy, happy, happy death.
Bobby
That's a painless.
Shenseea
Wouldn't you like to die that way?
Bobby
No, I don't know. I wouldn't. I've never thought about that. That didn't even cross my mind.
Shenseea
True.
Bobby
I'm weird at that point. No, you're not weird.
Shenseea
You still think I'm nice.
Bobby
I think you're so nice.
Shenseea
Oh, not weird.
Bobby
No.
Shenseea
Did I want to die from. It's okay. Let me not put it too much out in the atmosphere.
Bobby
Yeah. I always think that when I say anything thing, I'm like, I just put that.
Shenseea
Yeah, it's true.
Bobby
Cuz I just said we going to.
Shenseea
Have to bleep out some part 100%.
Bobby
Cuz I do not want to put that.
Shenseea
No orgasm there.
Bobby
No, that is fine. My brutally murdered. I don't want to put that into the universe. They're like. But I said that. I don't want that.
Shenseea
You know what's the weirdest thing? When I read the gory books of Stephen King and James Patterson, it's always so gory and people dying from like mirrors and stuff being there, throats being slit and stuff. And I. It always makes me wonder like what if I was in that position. But I don't think I would ever die that way. Jesus loves me too much.
Bobby
I was gonna ask you, are you religious?
Shenseea
I am a little bit religious. I try to do my best to be faithful, you know, But I'm a work in progress, guys. Because I know you guys would be like, oh, but you sang these lyrics and you did. Ah, shut it. You know, everyone's a work in progress. Everyone is.
Bobby
So it's okay.
Shenseea
But I do read my Bible and I pray a lot. Every single day.
Bobby
Yeah, I was very religious and prayed every day, but my ex wasn't religious at all. He grew up not really believing in God or anything.
Shenseea
Oh my God, that couldn't work.
Bobby
Yeah. After. So I became like that for a little bit. Then after we got. We broke up, I came back to it.
Shenseea
Oh, cuz. You wearing a cross now?
Bobby
Yeah, this? My grandma's. When she died, she left this for me and it was like. I wear it every day, but mostly every day. Yeah. It's like a ridicule. Yeah. I'm gonna give it to my kids one day when I die. I'm not giving it to them when I'm alive. That's not happening. Yeah.
Shenseea
It's crazy.
Bobby
I do feel like there's definitely other people in the universe. There has to be.
Shenseea
I'm telling you. There are.
Bobby
I don't wanna meet them, though, is just what I'm telling you.
Shenseea
I wanna see their fingers and their bodies. I wanna see if it's long for real. Like this long, you know, like when you see it and it has a little bubble at the top.
Bobby
An alien. Like a green alien?
Shenseea
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby
You think that's what they're gonna look like and you want to still see them?
Shenseea
I want to know.
Bobby
Here's the thing.
Shenseea
I Listen. Like, this is why I'm not afraid to die. Because I got so many questions for the Lord.
Bobby
That's what I'm saying. Find this out when you die, then.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
Okay. You don't have to do it when I want it to happen in my life.
Shenseea
Mm. Mm. It's gonna be the last thing I explore space. Yeah.
Bobby
You're crazy.
Shenseea
Yep. Have you ever watched Interstellar?
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
You watched it? Yeah. And you see the other Earths that they went on?
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
Some of them, they can't. They have a world full of just pure water and waves.
Bobby
They couldn't even just live there, though.
Shenseea
Yeah. Then that's the thing. It's like all the worlds to me are so different and have different lives and people who can withstand weathers like that. I think that's how we are. Because it's hot as shit out here, but you don't see us dying. We're pretty chill.
Bobby
That's true.
Shenseea
Yeah. And in America, where you're from, it's, like, so cool. But over here, the humidity is crazy. I think that people and species are meant to survive in the habitats they're bound to live in.
Bobby
Yeah, I know. And then people leave where they're meant to be and explore other places.
Shenseea
That's what I'm gonna do.
Bobby
And sometimes they die.
Shenseea
That's okay.
Bobby
You're crazy. You're, like, 27.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
You're about to be 28, though. You're almost 30.
Shenseea
Can you stop? Who told her I have an age problem? Cause she's rubbing it in over here.
Bobby
You have an age problem. What's your age problem?
Shenseea
I don't want to get old.
Bobby
I don't either. We're both at the same spot.
Shenseea
You seem like you're okay with getting old.
Bobby
I'm not okay with it.
Shenseea
I think you are.
Bobby
I'm. The last thing I am is okay with getting old.
Shenseea
I don't want to get old at all.
Bobby
I'm divorced. I have two kids. The last thing I want to be is divorced. Divorced with two kids and 30. That's crazy.
Shenseea
Oh, my God.
Bobby
But we're gonna be 30. We have two more years left.
Shenseea
I know.
Bobby
At three.
Shenseea
So what you doing for these two years? You gonna be a hoe?
Bobby
I have to do a hoe. Yeah, maybe. Maybe I will.
Shenseea
I don't know. You said you married young and you have your two kids already and you're divorced. Isn't that what divorced people do after that?
Bobby
Just sleep around and have fun? I feel like I haven't been a hoe yet, but I might have a decent me a little bit later. We'll see. I want to get married again. I'm, like, such a lover girl. I just want to, like, have a happily ever after. How. How old do you want to be when you get married?
Shenseea
I want to be, like, 35.
Bobby
That's what I think, too.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
Yeah, that's right. And then you're going to have two more kids. Three more.
Shenseea
Listen, maybe. Because if I. If I don't find that person. Even though I don't think you can ever find the right person to have kids with. Because people change after you give birth. Yeah, I know from experience. Like, my child's father and I, we were really close, like twins. Until we had a kid. It went opposite. And so I've seen that happen with many Other people as well. Or they might still stay together, but they just do it for the kids. It's just like it's not even real.
Bobby
You don't believe in divorce. Like you're going to be stuck with that person forever.
Shenseea
I am. I am. And hence why I would like to take my time with a person who I would have a kid with or marry. Because I think before I was like, maybe I should date the person for like 5 years. Be in a relationship with them for like 5 years. Girlfriend and boyfriend. And then I get engaged. But I'm thinking like eight to 10 years. Let's see if we can do a decade before we get married. Because we're not breaking up.
Bobby
Well, yeah, that's, that's, I like that. I think that's fair.
Shenseea
Yeah. So I think now my perspective has changed. Like before I was like, no, you can't wait too long to marry me. But now I'll definitely wait.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
If you can last 10 years, then I feel like you can last the rest of your life.
Shenseea
Exactly.
Bobby
Or what else could happen?
Shenseea
Exactly. So right now I'm dating and I'm taking my time.
Bobby
Boyfriend?
Shenseea
No, I don't have a boyfriend. I'm not in a committed relationship.
Bobby
Do you, like, you're just dating around, not around. So there's one person you're dating not around?
Shenseea
You know, I have my options.
Bobby
I'm getting you in trouble with one of your options.
Shenseea
No, I, I, I'm a bad guy. I can, I don't get in trouble. I do what I want. You know, I'm grown and I make my own money and I'm responsible, but I'm not in a committed relationship at all. If I am in a committed relationship, I'm super faithful. I'm very loyal person. But me right now, I just want to have fun because the last two years, it was so hard for me. So now I'm just having fun. Not like being a hoe or anything, but just like, I don't have anybody pressing me, like, why I didn't call them, you know, I don't have that. And I'm enjoying that peace right now. I'm getting more focused on my work. I sleep good at nights, you know, And I love to sleep alone.
Bobby
Do you?
Shenseea
I do. Yeah. The only person who's in my bed sometimes is my son.
Bobby
I sleep with my kids every night.
Shenseea
Yeah, I love to sleep with my son too. Yeah, he's really. Yeah, he's a good companion. He be kicking, though.
Bobby
Kicks. Yeah, mine do too. I wake up so uncomfortable. I'm always.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
I sleep though with them in my arms still.
Shenseea
Oh no, not me. My. But it's such a great feeling to sleep with your kids, you know. I know and people try to make it weird but it's not. It's like really. It's a great feeling.
Bobby
Yeah. Cuz I breastfed both of them so like I kind of. Well I wasn't going to go walk back and forth between the crib at night time.
Shenseea
I don't breastfeed. I did not breastfeed. That hurts.
Bobby
It's so much easier than formula.
Shenseea
But it. It's painful.
Bobby
I was lazy. I wasn't going to get up and make a bottle. That's crazy.
Shenseea
I believe you. I. I used to get up at 3am and that's how my career started.
Bobby
Wow.
Shenseea
Cuz that's when I started writing when I couldn't go to sleep up.
Bobby
Buts no I like to. I like to lay in bed once I'm there.
Shenseea
Oh no. I would get up for my baby and I would do it again and again and again because I would. That's how put them on my boob all night.
Bobby
Again and again and again. Because that was how I got my sleep. I slept and they just had their boob. I would get up to change their diaper but I didn't have to leave because like you could do that on.
Shenseea
The bed but you have caretakers. No.
Bobby
Now but I had. It was just me when I was doing all that. So it was like.
Shenseea
I think it's a special thing when you do it yourself though. Cuz it's like a different. It's a way to show love. Like it's a sacrifice. You're not sleeping. You're staying up for your baby. You're doing.
Bobby
Yeah. I just. I just feel like people who do formula are like less lazy than people who breastfeed because you have to take that with you. You have to find warm water.
Shenseea
Breastfeeding hurt me like my titties were busted.
Bobby
I'd rather be in pain though than then.
Shenseea
Then get up then go to the.
Bobby
Kitchen and make a bottle.
Shenseea
Oh my God. She is lazy.
Bobby
I told you breastfeeding is awful. I still breastfeed though. Still my 2 year old.
Shenseea
There milk in those.
Bobby
There's milk in them.
Shenseea
That's crazy.
Bobby
I know. Isn't that. I know. It's People on my videos go crazy because they're like her boobs disappeared and I'm like that's cuz my baby ate and they're empty right now it's all milk. When you see them big, like it's just milk in them.
Shenseea
No, mine were rock hard. They were leaking. I, like. I didn't like it. You did it. No, it felt weird. Like I was peeing through my titties uncontrollably.
Bobby
But after a while, you don't leak. And then it's just like, look, I don't leak anymore. I don't have any at all.
Shenseea
I wouldn't know. I stopped breastfeeding the second day.
Bobby
Okay. I mean, I haven't stopped one time over the last four years of my life, so. Lord, four and a half years of my life.
Shenseea
You think he would get back with your ex?
Bobby
No, never.
Shenseea
I don't think you should either. He don't believe in Jesus.
Bobby
It's true. I think that is a big thing that we didn't have because there was nothing that, like, held him, you know? I don't know.
Shenseea
I. I value.
Bobby
I want that for the next person. They do need to be religious.
Shenseea
Somewhat.
Bobby
Somewhat. Yeah. I believe in God at least. Like, they need to. Yeah. Praying and stuff. It's such a. An important thing.
Shenseea
It is.
Bobby
And, yeah, my kids now, because of the fact that I have left him, like, they're. They ask more questions and stuff about that now because before they were just like, I didn't tell you about any of that.
Shenseea
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby
But now they ask. My daughter's always like, what happens when we die? Like, why are you asking that? You're four.
Shenseea
I do wish you the best, though. I'm sorry to hear. Hear that.
Bobby
It's okay. It's. It's good. It's. It's for the better. But. I don't know. You like being. You've been single. Have you been single longer than me or how long.
Shenseea
How long have you been single?
Bobby
A year.
Shenseea
I would say it's almost coming up to a. Oh, a year.
Bobby
You were with your child's dad for the whole time or. No?
Shenseea
Oh, hell no.
Bobby
Oh, okay.
Shenseea
Well, I thought you were like, no, but you were.
Bobby
Basically, you were still a single mom.
Shenseea
Yeah. Yeah. But I do, I guess a lot of help because I have a lot of male figures in my life. Like, my team members. Like, they're like my big brothers, you know, so they will even watch my kid for me. Like, I have team members living in my house, so it's like. It is cool. So my living situation. And that's why I feel like I can be single because I still get help from a man, you know, the only thing I do is make my own money, which I'm okay with that.
Bobby
I like being able to.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
Be independent.
Shenseea
If I need something fixed, like, they're right there to do it.
Bobby
That's. I don't have that. So. Yeah, I have to fix it myself. But even in my marriage, I was the one who did that, so it's easy to do it still.
Shenseea
Please don't make me don't like your ex.
Bobby
I was the furniture builder. The. I just. The only thing I didn't do during my marriage was like, make the money.
Shenseea
Oh.
Bobby
But now. Now I just do it All I am. It's just me and my kids.
Shenseea
But don't you feel power in that, though?
Bobby
I love it. No, I do. I love it. I think that I miss. There's. You know, just having that companion. Girls aren't like. I don't know. I don't. I. I don't.
Shenseea
You can get a companion if you want to, though.
Bobby
What do you have to. What do you mean? Just like a. A male companion in la?
Shenseea
Yeah. No.
Bobby
They don't exist.
Shenseea
No.
Bobby
No.
Shenseea
You move to Jamaica or Miami or something closer. LA is just.
Bobby
No, no. There's no man in la. No, there's. No.
Shenseea
No. I. I agree. And I haven't even been around, but. Because I'm a. You know, I'm in the industry and I affiliate myself with so many different people. It's just so weird out there.
Bobby
I don't.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
The men.
Shenseea
But I do love it for work, though. It's amazing.
Bobby
That's why I work in la.
Shenseea
Yeah. It's amazing to work. And the food is good there too.
Bobby
In la. Yeah. Because it's just everything.
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
What do you eat in la? Do you eat Mexican food?
Shenseea
What do I love? Camille Lost tacos. Yeah. And you know, bossa nova is like late night food for, like, when I'm in the studio.
Bobby
I've. Ever been there.
Shenseea
Bossa nova.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
It's cool.
Bobby
I've walked past it.
Shenseea
Catch.
Bobby
Okay.
Shenseea
Ocean Prime Steak 48 is it too. I love. You know.
Bobby
More than I do. I don't go out. I guess I don't even go out to dinner. Really?
Shenseea
Oh, no. I love to eat. I love food. I love food just as much as I love music.
Bobby
Do you?
Shenseea
I do.
Bobby
You. You freestyle a lot.
Shenseea
I do. Don't you sometimes.
Bobby
You do?
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
You're good at it. Thanks. Do you want to do it?
Shenseea
No.
Bobby
Do you need, like.
Shenseea
I get shy.
Bobby
You're shy? You're not shy. You just said you want to die during an orgasm. You're not shy. Okay.
Shenseea
You're. I say. I want to said. If I had to choose once. No, if I had to choose because I don't want to die anytime soon, but if I had to choose, I would choose. But with my belly full or my.
Bobby
Full thoughts, that's that. And you're gonna say you're shy after that?
Shenseea
I didn't say it.
Bobby
You just.
Shenseea
You said you were shy. So you said.
Bobby
You said, and I quote, I shy. No, you're not shy.
Shenseea
I get shy sometimes. It's so weird. It's so weird.
Bobby
Okay.
Shenseea
Shy is. I'm telling you, it's so weird. No one understands it like my. Even my manager, he would be like. You perform in thousands of people and you're here. You can't even make a speech in front of 20.
Bobby
Yeah, that's harder. It's more personal. I get. I feel you.
Shenseea
It's like this, like now. It's like you guys here.
Bobby
Yeah. It's just. There's less. Yeah. Yeah. I think the less people there are, the more intimate it is.
Shenseea
More pressure on you.

Bobby
But you're gonna. Are you gonna perform at your birthday?
Shenseea
I'm thinking about it.
Bobby
I think you should. I want to see you perform.
Shenseea
Only if you come on stage and dance with me.
Bobby
Dance? Dance is a crazy thing.
Shenseea
Okay. Okay. Not dance. Wine.
Bobby
Can you tell me what that is? I don't know what that is and I feel like that's worse. Okay, we're gonna show you right now. You're gonna show me.
Shenseea
You want me to show you, right?
Bobby
Yeah, I'm. I'm. What? Can you explain really quickly what that means? Okay, just show me. Just show me.
Shenseea
It's like you stand up.
Bobby
Oh, my God.
Shenseea
And the. You. Like you can crouch down almost like you're gonna twerk. And then you put your hands here and then you move your booty in a straight.
Bobby
Yeah, man. It's not gonna move like that.
Shenseea
Try.
Bobby
I can't even try that.
Shenseea
Try right now.
Bobby
That's. You know how you said. Look at this. Oh, my God. Why does your body move different than mine would. I don't think I could do that.
Shenseea
I mean, I'm not the greatest at it, but I do a little something.
Bobby
Yeah, but you're also.
Shenseea
Come on.
Bobby
You could do nothing and you still would.
Shenseea
No. Come. Come try. No, Camille, this is like you. I'm trying to get to do dance. She. She's dead too.
Bobby
Ever.
Shenseea
She's dead too.
Bobby
You were both. Are you going to dance on. I'll. Okay, fine. I will. I'll dance on stage with you. If you make her dance with me. If you make Camille dance with me, I will do it.
Shenseea
Camille, you're not going to take one for the team? That's some Camille right there.
Bobby
I feel like. I feel like you need to replace her if she doesn't take that.
Shenseea
Oh, she said. She said we need to take a.
Bobby
Just do it and really try.
Shenseea
Wow. You hear that? I'm gonna tell you, you're not coming.
Bobby
You're coming. You're coming, and you're coming with me.
Shenseea
We have to do it, though. You're not leaving here.
Bobby
I just have to drink then first.
Shenseea
Listen, you're in my country. You're not leaving until you do that wine.
Bobby
Until I. Yeah. I'm gonna have to practice in the mirror for 10 years.
Shenseea
It's not hard.
Bobby
I know. You know what it is. I don't. Maybe I could do that. Right? That's. That's weird if I do that.
Shenseea
No, it's not.
Bobby
It's not weird if you do that. It's weird if I do.
Shenseea
Why? Because if your complexion.
Bobby
No, that's not what I was saying.
Shenseea
Oh, because they like, quote unquote, white people, they look weird when they dance, but it's not true. We have so many white people here in Jamaica, and they be dancing, and people from Europe coming down is.
Bobby
I have no confidence when I do anything. So if I dance with no confidence, it doesn't look right. Right. Dancing, doing anything in life, you. You have. You walk in with confidence. I walk in like I am doing something wrong. Like, I don't belong anywhere. I want. I don't want to be like that.
Shenseea
We're going to fix that, you know, I cuz. I promise you, in Jamaica here, it's not that serious.
Bobby
It's all over. Yeah. So I was walking at. So I. I was trying to figure out. I always am the one who, like, gets. Okay, so imagine we're walking through. It was at ufc, and. And my sister and all of my friends were all trying to get into, like, the ground level, but only two of us have, like, the right tickets. And they're just like, Lord's walking through that part. We're on the other side, basically. And they stopped only me. Only me. And we were trying to figure out why that kept happening. And even the next time, when I had the right ticket, they were like. They still stopped me and were like, didn't make anybody else show their ticket, made me show it. But then everybody's like, it's because you walk with your arms like this. Yeah, you're looking. You look like you're doing something wrong every time. And I was like, I don't know how to walk with my. Have you seen Where I've interviewed Ari Fletcher. And then she was like, you need to. You need to walk with your arms down because you're always like this. I can't.
Shenseea
No, I didn't see that full interview. I saw some clips. I saw some with you and Saweetie Suki was one of my faves. That shit was funny.
Bobby
That was. I love. She's so funny.
Shenseea
What was one of your favorite interviews?
Bobby
My favorite interviews? I mean, like, during it, I was like, this is really good. This is fun. This is the most. This is the coolest one I've done by far. I've never traveled to another country to do one. And, like, so far, this has been great. I really like this. I really liked Analy. That was really fun. He was so sweet. And Ali Chapa.
Shenseea
Oh, Nle. Yeah.
Bobby
He is so sweet. Yg. And that was. That was. That was fun, too. I've never been.
Shenseea
I made it fun. You seem like you got some or something over there.
Bobby
No, we. No.
Shenseea
Oh, yeah. Your face look like it's blushing. I don't know. It looks different to me.
Bobby
You just have a dirty mind. I do? Yes.
Shenseea
I don't know. I think he's our culture.
Bobby
I did not blush when I said that. Now I feel like I am, but that's not okay. I'll just tell you. I was just. You're getting nervous right now because you're.
Shenseea
Like, what happened over there?
Bobby
Let me un Blush. It was just. I don't know. We went to the. Afterward, we went to the park, and then it was just like a. A gang meetup. A gang meetup?
Shenseea
Meetup.
Bobby
Gang bang. What is it? You're so dirty. You're mine.
Shenseea
I never said that. I said a gang.
Bobby
A gang? Yeah. No, it was. Was like Bloods and Crips at the park. And he was like, just, come on, it'll be cool.
Shenseea
Like, anyway.
Bobby
And I. Yeah, I walked over there, I met a bunch of people, and it was just. It was fun.
Shenseea
I don't know what y'all did after.
Bobby
Then I went home. That was it.
Shenseea
You took anyone with you?
Bobby
No.
Shenseea
Oh, I don't know what's wrong with her face. No.
Bobby
You know what, though? People say I sleep with, like, every person I interview. That's like, you know, anytime I think.
Shenseea
They say that with everyone. When in the industry, I feel like.
Bobby
It'S any female if they're around a male. They're like, you sleep with everyone you interview. It's so annoying.
Shenseea
I think women are used to that now in the industry.
Bobby
Yeah. But it's just like every. It could be anybody. They say, like, any guy. If I interview, like, Marco or like.
Shenseea
You'Re sleeping with him.
Bobby
I'm not sleeping with Marco, guys. I'm just not anybody. I'm just like, every person I'm with in a room, if they're just in a room with me, I'm sleeping with them.
Shenseea
I know. It's how it is.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
I guess something that we have to put up with.
Bobby
Men. Just assuming you sleep with everyone. They're. I. Men suck. Some of them. You disagree?
Shenseea
Me?
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
I. I don't have anyone in my.
Bobby
Life, so I just met, like.
Shenseea
I think I subliminally agree, but I do have some great many. I think it's. It's quite.
Bobby
In relationships.
Shenseea
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby
I feel like I love. They're just there. I don't know. They're just.
Shenseea
Yeah. Me personally, I don't think I'm gonna be getting into a relationship anytime soon.
Bobby
I don't. I don't want to right now.
Shenseea
As I said, I'm so faithful. It's like as soon as you start moving weird, I pick it up.
Bobby
Yeah.
Shenseea
And I, you know, I always, you know, figure something out. So I don't want to be doing that. I want to be focusing on myself.
Bobby
I like being so single that I'm not talking to really anybody. Consistent instantly. Because then I'm not worried about anybody else. I'm just worried about myself.
Shenseea
Yeah, exactly.
Bobby
Right now. That's good.
Shenseea
When you're in a relationship, you're, like, thinking, what is he doing? Where are they?
Bobby
Yeah, you're stressing about that too much. I don't want to do that either.
Shenseea
And it's natural to do it. Yeah, it is natural to do it, but I just can't bother with that right now. Okay. I'm better with that right now.

Bobby
Do you see how I'm doing it? Nothing's coming out.

As to 27 year olds.
Shenseea
Yeah, two 27 year olds. We're grown. We're single moms. I promise you. It's not really a club, but, you know, we're proud of where we are in life right now. We're established.
Bobby
You just poured so much.
Shenseea
No, this was a little water that was sitting in the bottom.
Bobby
I dumped my water out. This is just alcohol.
Shenseea
Chairs?
Bobby
Sure. This gets real full, so it's mostly not okay. Oh, God.
Shenseea
It's pretty.
Bobby
It is really pretty. Did we just. We're going to get energy for this hike and we're going to get very drunk. There's no way this is going to taste good.
Shenseea
Cheers to single woman dating. And we're in Jamaica for the first time with Bobby.
Bobby
What are we drinking? What's it called? What's this brand? Okay, I'm stalling, but it tastes so good.
Shenseea
Wow. You don't like it?
Bobby
So good is crazy.
Shenseea
What's wrong with it?
Bobby
So good. Do you really mean that or are you just saying that?
Shenseea
No, it does. I think this and this goes really well together. I don't even know what that is. I haven't even tasted it without the alcohol, so I wouldn't even know the difference.
Bobby
You don't taste the alcohol at all?
Shenseea
Not much. I put a lot more in yours.
Bobby
You did? Why do you do that to me?
Shenseea
Because. I don't know. It's your first time.
Bobby
That's, like, why you should put less. That was crazy to put more.
Shenseea
We have to enjoy ourselves.
Bobby
Okay, if I can finish this, I feel like. Do you guys. I haven't seen a straw. Do you guys not. Do they have straws in Jamaica?
Shenseea
Yeah.
Bobby
I don't know. It's like, bad for the environment.
Shenseea
Don't tell me you wanted those.
Bobby
Bobby that doesn't use straws.
Shenseea
No, that be like, oh, is there cell service in Africa?
Bobby
I did not say that. I said it because it's not. Not environmentally friendly. And we're by the ocean.
Shenseea
Hey, we didn't plan to drink, but we do. We have straws here.
Bobby
I'll say that. At this hotel. I don't think they have straws.
Shenseea
They have straws here. I'm pretty sure they have straws everywhere.
Bobby
On beaches, though.
Shenseea
No, everywhere.
Bobby
I'm saying it's frowned upon to have a straw on a beach. It kills sea turtles or something.
Shenseea
Just. No. Well, we use or is with paper.
Bobby
Those are horrible. But yeah. How paper ones.
Shenseea
The paper straws.
Bobby
I know every good foot is now. I know they're good.
Shenseea
It doesn't harm the Tartuz, though.
Bobby
I know. I just straws I get it. I like the ones that are like. Like, compostable but not paper. They feel like plastic, but they're not plastic. Those are good straws.
Shenseea
I don't know. I don't know.
Bobby
I had it in New York at a coffee shop. I like those.
Shenseea
Drink.
Bobby
What do you think I'm doing?
Shenseea
You're sipping. It's not even moving from the top.
Bobby
I'm sorry that you made mine taste like I'm drinking. Drinking straight alcohol, and it's hard for me. My apologies. Let me just chug this really quick. Let's see.
Shenseea
We're excited for the day. Bobby and Shena.
Bobby
Yes.
Shenseea
So, what? Outside it's not horrible.
Bobby
I'll give you that. It's. It's actually tastes a little bit better than tequila. Yeah. Like, definitely a lot better. I don't like how tequila tastes.
Shenseea
White rum. The thing there.
Bobby
Hmm?
Shenseea
It's called white rum. Overproof rum.
Bobby
But what'd you say after you said.
Shenseea
White rum means it's where it's at?
Bobby
Oh, okay.
Shenseea
Yeah. Well, outside.
Bobby
You know, when I listen to your music, I read the lyrics.
Shenseea
That's fine. Do you like them?
Bobby
Yeah, but I can't. Like, I was like some of those things. I was like, what you say? And then I read them, and I was like, oh. Then once you hear it, you're like, oh, yeah.
Shenseea
Yeah. I don't think patois is hard to understand. We just talk fast.
Bobby
Mm.
Shenseea
Yeah, we just talk really fast.
Bobby
I feel like I'm drunk off my slip. Or you have to be, then. But you're. You drank half your cup.
Shenseea
My little.
Bobby
Your weed works really fast here.
Shenseea
My weed? I think California weed is more insane.
Bobby
I. You know, I've only tried one person's weed. Well, I only smoke Liz's weed.
Shenseea
Really?
Bobby
And he delivers it. His. His team delivers it to my house by himself. His team does.
Shenseea
Oh.
Bobby
I text him when I'm out, and he sends more. Because the first time I ever smoked was on my interview with him.
Shenseea
Oh. Yeah.
Bobby
And now I just only smoke his.
Shenseea
Wow.
Bobby
But here I smoke something else, and I was like, oh, I went to sleep real well last night. It was great.
Shenseea
Well, maybe it's because it's mostly organic and they grow it from, like.
Bobby
And I'm just smoking.
Shenseea
Sorry. Outside and in the sun.
Bobby
Yeah. Are you just gonna stare at me while I drink? Finish your drink. It's our day. It's your day. It's anybody's day. It's your birthday. You're gonna. Are you gonna go home alone tomorrow night? Is that.
Shenseea
Of course.
Bobby
Okay.
Shenseea
Nobody knows my secrets. You can pop up on me anytime. You won't find nothing.
Bobby
Anytime.
Shenseea
Anytime.
Bobby
Anytime.
Shenseea
Anytime.
Bobby
That's not true.
Shenseea
Swear to God.
Bobby
I can pop up on you anytime. And what?
Shenseea
And not find anything.
Bobby
And you're not. I. I feel like you might be having sex if I just popped on.
Sponsor
You just said you're gonna die having an orgasm.
Bobby
And I feel like you wouldn't have said that if you wouldn't be doing that.
Shenseea
Yeah, but for me, I think he would find me doing stuff like that. You can unexpected places in town.
Bobby
So it's not at your house.
Shenseea
You just want now where.
Bobby
And that's why you took so long to get here today in your car. No. Bobby's doing this to you.
Shenseea
You see how. How light she is now? She's her true self. Then she said I have a dirty mind. She's the one that has a dirty mind. You enjoying yourself? No. Lightening up.
Bobby
I like it.
Shenseea
I like it. No, it took me some time because I stayed long. I was really working hard yesterday. I did so much yesterday. I went to the studio, went to the gym, did a signing of a new contract of a deal that I just got. I went to a big TV interview in the morning at 6:00am that's cool. Yeah. And then I reached home and I did my hair and my nails until 4:30am so. And I still woke up at 9 to get ready. And I was on time, but we had two accidents on the road.
Bobby
Were not. You were not on time?
Shenseea
I was on time. We had two hours late. Oh my God. No. Two accidents on the road. One in O and one in K.
Bobby
Did you leave here? What time did you leave?
Shenseea
I don't remember.
Bobby
Okay, that's convenient. That's convenient. You don't remember because you want to know what? I came. We had to walk over to this. To this room, you know, we're staying here. And. And my friend right there was in his own room like. Like taking a shower and I. It was 11:40 and I was like knocked on his window and I said, we gotta go. It starts at 12. We gotta get there. I mean, he came out like with no shoes on. Yeah, because I rushed him. And then we sat on the floor for like four hours. I'm just kidding. It was probably only a two, right? We were two.
Shenseea
Yeah, it was two.
Bobby
It was definitely at least two hours. You got here too.
Shenseea
It was two hours, I must admit. But I swear it wasn't my fault. I was up.
Bobby
You just weren't Here.
Shenseea
Okay.
Bobby
It's okay.
Shenseea
I was up.
Bobby
I forgive you.
Shenseea
I forgive you.
Bobby
But you. But you're not gonna get out of not drinking. And just. And just.
Shenseea
We're literally at the same. No, mine is lesser than yours.
Bobby
You have less alcohol in yours. So the fact that I'm at the same spot is not fair.
Shenseea
We're not gonna finish it on camera, are we? Because I can't.
Bobby
It doesn't taste bad anymore, which means that I definitely. You like it? It doesn't taste bad. No, I think this is a good mix. I also like that you can't really taste that hot.
Shenseea
Yeah, Yeah.
Bobby
I don't like vodka or.
Shenseea
Okay, fine. Let's go below the yellow line.
Bobby
Damn. Damn. It's going.
Shenseea
Not moving. That is not moving. Okay, okay, okay. I think the ice is melting as we're going down.
Bobby
It's just filling up. We're not going to get.
Shenseea
Okay, mine is like one little bit more.
Bobby
We're staying at the Jamaica Inn right now. And it's so pretty here.
Shenseea
Yes, it's beautiful.
Bobby
You should stay here sometime. I definitely want to take my kids here, though. It's been so amazing here.
Shenseea
Yes. Pool and the ocean over. Over the edge.
Bobby
Yeah, it's the perfect hotel.
Shenseea
