What is your connection to Cole 187? And if you care to share the full circle moment.

Oh, man.

Okay.

So Eazy-E was performing at Tinkley Coliseum in Albuquerque.

And I had won some backstage passes or some radio people had given me a pass because I won something on the radio, freestyle something.

And so I was waiting to meet Eazy-E, right? And Eazy-E was sitting there to talk, arguing with somebody.

I ain't going to leave the other part.

But you as either exhibit or big A, how did that make you feel connecting with the people and being a part of helping them fulfill something like that?

Did you want to rebel against everything that you were getting taught at home?

No, because I was out of the house at 14.

Okay.

I was out.

I had got arrested, and my dad and my stepmom, they were Jehovah's Witnesses.

Oh, my goodness.

So I was bringing shame.

And I'm wondering if the young X to the Z, made them same fucking

So what made you decide about this tequila brand? What made you want to, to do this as, uh, as, uh, one of your entrepreneurial ventures?

Well, as bad as this sounds, I like to drink a lot.

And, [laughs] and, and, and when I tasted Bonita for the first time, uh, I, it was basically, you know, hands down the best tequila I've ever tasted.

So, you know, I look for opportunities that are on the ground level, that are starting from the bottom, and, and I like to be able to have an influence in the direction where that brand goes.

Um, I don't endorse and get behind a lot of things.

So, you know, when this opportunity came, it fit right into the luxury style branding that I'm accustomed to, and it was, it was a perfect fit.

So, you know, wh- when I got with Chris and Annette, and, uh, and, and put the, our minds together, we came up with the idea of not only, you know, endorsing it, but being a partner.

So tell us specifically some of the ideas you had.

The sweet reason she's going viral, as the rapper eyes a new career, full-time cat dad.

Say bye to the world, Thunder Cat.

I got sweaters with my cat's face all over it.

And yes, I've worn this before.

People make paintings of my cat.

When I say paintings, I mean multiple paintings.

It's no joke.

Did you ever think that we would have a day where we were sitting here talking about your cat going viral?

You lost that one

... what I'm saying is whether, whether, whether those things, whether that feeling is from there or it goes into guilt or whether it goes into something, that you could tell that, that this was now being introduced, right? Um, and so now you look at the systems and the things that have been, you know, I guess what we have been dealing with, and you know, like, from different ranges.

You know, racism does exist and all that stuff, you know.

Um, but I, I definitely know from, like, grade school on to the introduction of it, and then when you get into being an adult and you see how the, you know, disparaging differences between, um, being able to, you know, get a loan or not get a loan or how you're identified or singled out, that's a real thing.

You know what I'm saying? So I, I, I, I think that especially in this climate-

[laughs]

...

I think, you know, like, like, like now, uh, I still like aggressive music.
