00:11:03,670 fun of him to becoming A well paid Um, performer, someone that actually has a 181 00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:09,780 song that is playing in certain types of clubs, but he, but now because of 182 00:11:09,780 --> 00:11:16,080 his heightened visibility, um, because of social media, he is able to command 183 00:11:16,110 --> 00:11:19,330 appearance fees and performance fees. 184 00:11:19,510 --> 00:11:20,880 He's traveling. 185 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,920 Um, they're rolling out the red carpet for him. 186 00:11:24,220 --> 00:11:25,660 Now, here's the thing, Jay Ray, I don't know. 187 00:11:26,510 --> 00:11:28,000 I don't know if it's good or bad. 188 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:36,950 I know it's good in the sense that He's not begging, or he's not, um, he's not 189 00:11:37,170 --> 00:11:39,540 begging for money online like he used to. 190 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,010 It was like every other morning he was begging people to cash 191 00:11:43,010 --> 00:11:44,760 app him to pay for a new phone. 192 00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:48,860 It looks like he's able to sustain himself. 193 00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:49,460 That's good. 194 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,280 Um, food, clothing, and shelter wise. 195 00:11:52,805 --> 00:12:00,515 I am concerned of how long this bubble will stay inflated because as we all know, 196 00:12:00,775 --> 00:12:04,845 when they're, when they're vulnerable people, they get, you know, they get 197 00:12:04,855 --> 00:12:10,695 these kinds of opportunities and are, you know, and become famous overnight. 198 00:12:10,975 --> 00:12:13,305 There's always people on the sideline. 199 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:20,070 Waiting to with their hand out to get something to use their name to get their 200 00:12:20,070 --> 00:12:23,410 own money or Just waiting for him to fail. 201 00:12:23,610 --> 00:12:30,510 Yes, and because and I just I you know Like the rest of y'all, I get my laugh and 202 00:12:30,510 --> 00:12:35,190 I kiki about stuff too, but at the same time as a human being, I'd be like, damn, 203 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,170 is he, you know, I would hate for him to go back to what he was going through. 204 00:12:40,170 --> 00:12:41,620 And I just don't know. 205 00:12:41,860 --> 00:12:46,100 And it ain't none of my business really, but I just don't know if he has that 206 00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:51,920 kind of support to keep him, uh, a float or to keep the momentum of his, 207 00:12:53,470 --> 00:12:55,000 Yes, you know, as this is a career 208 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:55,580 Jay Ray: at this point. 209 00:12:55,600

to my, my main point is. 212 00:13:03,895 --> 00:13:07,705 That social media is taking the most unlikely, sometimes some of 213 00:13:07,715 --> 00:13:11,745 the most undeserving people, people that we just don't, that don't 214 00:13:11,755 --> 00:13:16,825 necessarily, in our opinion, look like or feel like they have, that 215 00:13:17,075 --> 00:13:19,825 they're actually talented or anything. 216 00:13:20,235 --> 00:13:24,405 And that's just the bewilderment of social media at this point. 217 00:13:24,815 --> 00:13:30,135 But I am, I continue to be gagged at what social media has done for. 218 00:13:30,655 --> 00:13:33,485 individuals, good, bad, or indifferent. 219 00:13:33,685 --> 00:13:37,005 Jay Ray: Yes, that is a very real thing. 220 00:13:37,025 --> 00:13:40,225 I, I, and I, yes
