But if you notice, all of the stuff that

I am a part of or that wins is musically inclined in that sense of whether it's Drumline, whether it's Wild N' Out, whether it's America's Got Talent, whether it's The Masked Singer.

All my successes are musical.

So I was like, this is God still blessing me through the music without having to actually be an artist.

But that artist grind is a different grind.

You got to really dedicate your life

to being that.

And I never had that in me because I was winning in so many other spaces.

Because you got to get people to come along with you for that journey for life.

And there's such a magic in music that you got to live that frequency.

And people can sniff it out when it ain't real.

So I think people kind of notice, like, I ain't really doing this.

You know what I mean?

Like, he just...

He's just playing with it.

And that's kind of like... Hindsight, maybe.

You know what I mean?

Because I'm not complaining where I'm at right now.

But if I would have took being an artist seriously, I probably... You know, like I said, I was in all of the circles.

I was, you know... You knew all the right people?
