Yeah, and that's an important lesson right there. It'll happen when it's supposed to happen.
We get caught up in a lot of things not happening on our time. And I know a lot of people say God's time and Cairo versus Kronos, I believe. But it's like, I think that there are a lot of things that I want to accomplish in my life that I haven't gotten to yet, you know, that like... But it's not like nothing to be mad about or depressed about or thinking that my life has no value.
Even if I hadn't sold one record or anything, even if I was still just, I would still be doing music even if it was just one of my passions. you know what I mean just like how I watch anime I don't get paid to do that but I take real time and I be watching anime because it's a passion of mine you know so I don't think that you know when things don't happen on your time that it's necessarily like
the end of the world because it always happens at the time when you need it as opposed to when you want it and sometimes what we want and what we need isn't always at the same time sometimes it is and sometimes it's not and it's kind of hard to see you always see things in 2020 hindsight but you know it's hard as you're going through it and that is one of the biggest lessons I learned this year I'm still learning still applying along with setting boundaries along with
the balancing you know life and just like realizing that I am in control of how I feel you know for sure no matter what you're creating or what's happening you're in control of how you feel speaking of our guy Posner I'm sure he's going to get a few shout outs here
It was probably like 11.
Yeah, it was me, Mike Posner, Jay John, Say It Ain't Tone, Brandon. Earl Mack. Earl Mack, A-Dub. Key Wang. Key Wang, Pat Piff. And I'm sure, like, I'm probably, you know. It's kind of like naming every member of the Wu-Tang Clan.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I had to. It was a representation of a lot more than just like my first album. It was like my life up until that point. And yeah, I empowered a lot of my people around me, like, My friend Lawrence, who just directed his first movie, and he did a lot of my videos, you know, like I Don't F*** With Your Video and me and Janae's I Know in 2088 and all these great videos.
And he's also my son's godfather. He did a video from a song about my son as well. He's into movies now, or like Key Wayne, who was in the group, is like a... like an all-star mega producer, you know, produced for not just me, but Beyonce and Drake and Jasmine Sullivan, all these amazing artists. And then, yeah, so, you know, the list goes on. But it was, it meant a lot.
And, you know, Mike Posner being one of those guys, we used to make music in his basement with his parents, you know, there. And his dad ended up getting brain cancer.
and died pretty like it was a very like quick thing um relatively and i remember when i had coachella and i brought him out at my coachella performance and we felt the energy of his dad i felt his the spirit of his dad because it was such a uh his dad has such a warm, welcoming spirit, almost like angelic already while he was alive. And just him and his mom, you know, his dad and his mom both.
So it was really, it was a full circle moment to be on that stage together like that. And it was like one of the biggest shows of my career. Yeah, it was like a huge crowd. It was like me and Harry Styles had like this split Coachella literally evenly at that moment while we were performing. It was amazing. It was amazing.
Yeah.
Yes.
Well, you got to remember that, like I said earlier in this interview, everything is separate and you don't realize that. So you think that things come with other things. So you're thinking that because you have money or because, you know, you live in Beverly Hills and, you know, you've got all these things, that the happiness equates to that.
Now, I'm not saying I'm not about to be one of these people that has, you know, that has made money and be like, well, money doesn't buy you happiness. Money... Money is an amazing resource and it can make you happy temporarily. What I mean by that is it's a dopamine hit. So it's like, yeah, getting money is awesome and it can make you happy.
But you realize that there's a lot of other things like that has to deal with, you know, to deal with. That's why you see, you know, you look at...
people who committed suicide who were on top of the world you know um from chester to you know people who od to you know it's like you can't be the you think you're like the lead singer of nirvana or something and then you commit suicide or you know lincoln park or all the anybody or let me just not even use them as an example i'm sure there are tons of people right
who are in that type of, have reached a wild level of success and choose to end their life, right? So you realize that those things are not the same thing. Now, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't, like, if you want money, you shouldn't go after getting money. I think that's important if that's, like, something that your heart desires.
