Chapter 2: How did Nick Cannon's upbringing influence his career in entertainment?
crime and punishment, I feel like that was just, and even I feel like that with Puff as well, you was on trial for your karma. You wasn't on trial for what actually just happened. That's that thing where so much time, you could have repented, you could have atoned, you could have made it right, but you chose to play in people's faces.
And I probably would think, high in sight, they were probably like, I would have handled that differently because There's a way to be like, I'm sorry, I apologize. But to actually truly atone, that's a process that I've learned. When you gotta be sincere in saying, man, I didn't. I was wrong. Yeah, I was wrong. And I'm not admitting that I was wrong because you caught me.
I just sincerely wish I had made better decisions or there was real growth there. So I don't think we saw any growth. I think if we would have saw growth in that process, then we might be a little bit more forgiving. But I think what people have learned to do is separate the art from the man. That's it. So to say that, oh, now his music is trash because of the horrible things that he did.
Then you got to throw the whole music industry away. Yeah. For sure. You got to start with rock and roll. Yeah. Our founding fathers had some transgressions.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what I'm saying. I mean, shoot, James Brown wrote the first disc record where he called the Big Payback. He went and shot up a club himself.
Yeah.
It's like, you're messing with my girlfriend. If we sit down right now and look back about what James Brown did or Jerry Lee Lewis or all of these people that I ain't going to say their name because then they're going to be sending me cease and desist. But if you look, just do your history, the entire music industry is flawed.
And then that takes me to that space where it's all about spiritual warfare at the end of the day because we know that when artists and all that start allowing those spirits in and that self-absorption, that egomaniacal energy starts to play out when you got nothing but yes men and you don't think you can. And we see it play out time and time again with our entertainers.

Chapter 3: What role did mentorship play in Nick Cannon's journey?
We'll ask for those things, but we're so unwilling to give them to someone else. Man, that's gospel right there. I mean, that's really what it is. And I think a lot of that has to do, going back to what I said, I love us as a people because we have been through so much. We've been through more than anybody else. But so we hold each other as such a high regard
Because it's like it's kings talking to kings. It's queens talking to queens. So in that energy, like we're going to hold you accountable, but I got to see me in you and you got to see myself. It has to be something to where I'm not just going to let it slide, but I know who you are and you deserve the same empathy that I deserve. You deserve the same care and compassion that I deserve.
Usher and Chris Brown got a concert. You taking your people? Hey, go. Enjoy yourself. Nah, you going with them. You got to go. But first of all, all my people know them. So they know there ain't no action going on. I think the entertainment, man, them two brothers. It's going to be amazing. Everybody, girl, going to get took. It's happening.
But yeah, man, that's family, both of those individuals. And to see them at that highest level. You got to respect and honor anybody that can operate at a high level in anything. And then to see them come together is dope. Yeah. Yeah. Man, you've been around so long, man, bro. You was in Aaliyah's video. You've been in 50 video, bro. You've been at it for a minute.
I mean, I've been out here since the 90s, so. Yeah, so you got to, when I say three decades, you really been at this thing for three decades. Yeah, man, yeah. I've been doing stand-up over 30 years at this point, professionally. Like, almost, it's going to be 40 just if we count back, you know, when I was really rocking with my dad and stuff. You are a really forgiving person.
Have you always been like this or did you have to learn how to become forgiving? Nah, always been that way. I mean, I think that comes from my grandmother and like, you know, even just how she raised us and how we move. Like I don't hold grudges. You know what I mean? It's like that, that old, uh, uh,
Mark Twain quote is like, anger is the acid that does more damage and more harm to the vessel in which it holds than the one that is stored. So it's like, in that sense, I don't let negative energy sit inside me. I can acknowledge it in the moment, but then I'm off it. I just, I don't rock with it like that. You made a hit song with Future Amigos.
It's music because you're like, you know what, I wish I would have given music more of a chance. But I was really into this TV space, I was really into this stand-up space, and I don't think I gave music the chance that I do now. I didn't. I didn't. I mean, interestingly enough, I never wanted to be a music artist. Right. looked up to people like Kanye and even Pharrell specifically.
Yeah, yeah, okay. I wanted to be a music producer. I wanted to have artists. My whole goal was being the guy behind the scenes. It just so happened that TV opportunities and all that stuff kind of- Presented themselves, yeah. Presented themselves, and I took it, and then I kind of got- pegged as like, oh, it's the kid from Nickelodeon. Or, oh, it's the kid from Drumline. Oh, it's the next Wilson.

Chapter 4: How does Nick Cannon address the complexities of fame and accountability?
I was like, you deserve even more. You need to be elevated even more. You're not part of a group. You're you. And she saw that. She was like, I can do this. I'm rocking with this. But she's like, I have a whole different vision for myself. And I remember introducing her to Wyclef and all these different producers from Music Soulchild's producers.
When she was just a kid, I was like, she the next one. She got it. And she made me prophetic. I mean, the mere fact that, you know, in a group now, because you remember way back, I mean, you might start off in a group, but everybody looking to be a lead singer. You look at Jeffrey Osborne, he left LGD. Lionel Richie left the Commodores. Peter Gabriel, he left Genesis.
So when you look at it and you think about it, like, well, damn, they're probably like, And everybody in New Edition left and became their own kids. Yeah, that's why they're the greatest group ever because they are. Trans Van, Bobby Brown, Michael, all of them. All of them went off, did their thing, and came back together again. And still doing it. Killing it.
There's no group bigger than New Edition. You mentioned her. Yeah. So you didn't know anything about her, but you know they're from the same area. Well, I knew Gabby first, which was her. Okay. Yeah, and then, like I said, her and her pops kind of got similar people. We're all from Southeast San Diego. So even... It was interesting.
She was another one of those child prodigies, seven years old, playing this giant bass. And I'm like, yo, what are we going to do with her? So I put her... I put her in a Nickelodeon movie. And it's funny, I created this movie, Nickelodeon, when I was kind of producing a lot of stuff over there. And she played Angie Stone's daughter. She was this little girl with this apple.
But I put, it was her, Justin Bieber, and Soulja Boy all in their first movie. And it was like a kid Nickelodeon musical. So I kind of always just had like an eye for talent, young people having it.
i wouldn't necessarily know what to do with them but whatever they desired i would try to open up those doors and so i was like oh you got it if you got vision then then let's rock right you know i always i always try to focus more on people who not only just have vision but they also got a plan right and and for themselves because you know they say a vision without a plan is just a hallucination right so
So in that when you see young kids actually, it just reminded me of myself the same way Jamie Foxx and Will poured into me. I had a vision and a plan. So when I see that in other young people, like, you know, I'm supposed to do this. Other people did it for me. So I got to do it for this next. Wilding out. How do you come out with that concept?
And did you think here we are 20 plus years later, it would still be going strong? Before I answer that, I'm glad you brought that up because you know you got to come on the show now. Next season. Come on. Come on. Come on, man. You know how to Jones, snap, roast. I don't want Logan Valentino to come on. Say less. Say less. I was like, yo, I will come do any of your shows.

Chapter 5: What responsibilities come with discussing holistic medicine?
Like he got like, that's why he's healthy. Is that your goal? Not that quite, but like he has so many family members that we interviewed. So, you know, I just want to make sure that, you know, and big pharma, you know what I mean?
Like that's a, that's a responsibility when you got people like that, when you talk about holistic medicine and alternative, you know, healing and curing process, people don't want you to put that out. So getting this content and the clearances and all that stuff, it's a lot of stuff that happens behind the scene that can slow it, slow it up, but we're going to do it right.
And we don't get it done. Healing and curing is different than treating. Yes. They treat because the money is in the treatment, not the cure. If I cure you, I can't get no more money from you. And then even like you said, the definition between healing and curing has actually been held. There's court cases about that.
And that's even really what got Dr. Sebi off is because he wasn't saying he was curing people. He was saying he was healing people. And healing is a spiritual thing. Right. So in that sense, it's a lot of information.
Chapter 6: What lessons has Nick Cannon learned from his Hollywood experience?
It's a lot of content. We just trying to focus on the truth. What have you learned? You've been in this Hollywood space for almost three decades now. Yeah, man. What have you learned about it? It's not the friendship business. It's the entertainment business. Um, and if you're looking to find, you can be friendly with people. Be friendly, but not.
But if you just, yeah, like it's, it's so cutthroat on so many levels that you can't take anything personal. You know what I mean? And I'm pretty sure it's like sports. You know what I mean? In that vibe where you're just trying to get out there and do your best. You're trying to win your title, your championship. Yes.
So not to say you can't get along with the cat on the next team or whatever, but everybody's in it for their own journey. And you can't you got to take your personal feelings out of it.
Chapter 7: How does Nick Cannon approach fatherhood in today's world?
Just understand this is business. You can still be a good person. still stand on morals, still have principles, but don't go into this looking for friends. I was like, it's not about friendships, it's about friendships. It's like, if you hot at the moment, everybody wanna be your friend. Everybody wanna look at you, everybody wanna call you, your phone won't stop ringing.
But you can't let that be the weight that carries you through this whole thing. Just know, oh, okay, it's all reciprocal. You're going to get your shot. As long as you can ride the wave, you know, through the good times and the bad times, you're going to get your opportunity whenever you want it. And whenever you get your moment again, just, you know, keep cooking while the pot is hot.
Stay consistent. Right. Is it true you said you told Harpo beat me?
Chapter 8: What is Nick Cannon's perspective on the impact of social media on children?
You said that, Dope? I did.
you mean to say that or you just yeah i was excited man i was i was married to mariah i was like she was on oprah the fact that you just called her harpo is hilarious but but clearly that's not something she wants to hear all the time so he's backstage at the oprah winfrey show and i had met her like briefly in places but now i'm like yo oh you thought y'all were cool yeah
And I was like, and you know, that was one of me and Mariah's favorite movies. I was like, I'm going to say it. I'm going to say it. She's like, don't say that. And I was like, you know, you told Hoppo to beat me? Straight face. Like, she looked...
and and I like it just I I was my my inside is just she's Oprah got a way she can look in your eyes and just everything that you just damn near shit on yourself like but it's like that intimidating there's so much power and I was like soon as the words came out of my mouth I shouldn't have said that was the dumbest shit I ever said have y'all spoken since yeah but it's different yeah
I don't think I ain't going to be on none of Oprah's favorite lists no time soon. Of all the things you could have said. Yeah. You said, hey, congratulations. I mean, your story, Oprah. I think I was low key trying to be funny and show off on Mariah. It was a light room. But let me ask you a question. Does Oprah strike you as a person that's easily amused? I see Oprah, like, chilling.
That's why I thought we was in one of them environments. Like, I wouldn't have said that on the show when she was interviewing me, but I'm thinking, we chilling, toes out, everything. You know, I'm like, all right, like. So when you said that, so what did Mariah say to you after you said that? She low-key, because Mariah is hilarious. She low-key was laughing. Yeah.
Like in the moment, because she was like, them awkward moments are like, that's where the most comedy is. So we laughed about it on the jet ride home. But she wasn't laughing in front of Oprah, though. Yeah, she was like, you know, because she didn't think I was going to do it. She told you not to do it. She told me don't do it.
And anytime somebody tell me don't do something, that makes me want to do it even more. Especially if it's the comedian side. That's the comedian. Because anytime they tell you you can't say a joke. I'm going to say it. Or you can't talk about this or you can't talk about that. I'm going to say it. And that's what always gets me in trouble. Lord have mercy. The loquaciousness.
Talking too damn much. So now, are you okay being with a woman that makes more than you? Absolutely. I was married to one. Yeah, but I mean, yeah, that was... I want to know. I need you to give me some notes on how you pulled that one off.
