She learned how to have a reputation. She also flexed her biceps. She sort of, you know, she showed off her guns. She's a show woman. Yeah. Come on. There's songs. There's stories. There's Jesus.

Yeah, but if you're going to come and do some rap, you're going to pretend you've been to jail. You know, like you're going to talk about how many, you know, like you're going to come hard.

She might have been a little bit freer with her opinions about how lucky this president was to meet her and all of her insight. So I don't know. I think it could have been spicy.
