Like, we don't gotta go into no names. Cause, you know, because names bring situations and we gotta talk, so we can skip all that. Yeah, and we can stay on the positive, yeah, happy side. It's a lot of lives that that's lost, you know, to represent this. It's a lot of niggas behind bars, it's a lot of niggas started it, but people like you is what made Haitian fresh. Like, say, you know what, we're gonna take it to the next level. Then the next nigga that come, because I tell you right now, bro, ain't no other Haitians. If a if a motherfucker could call your show, I I give them $50,000, bro. They could call your show and they could tell you another nigga wrapped that flag more than me.

SPEAKER_01 3:42

That shit ain't gonna happen, bro. Because that's why this is my first interview. I got documentary coming on Netflix, all that, but I say before I do anything, I gotta let it out at my door. And I ain't gonna go too hard on your show. You know what I'm saying? But I'm gonna tell, like, the truth don't gotta be fabricated, bro. So if I say something about a nigga, that nigga gonna look at this and he gonna say, Damn, bro, I uh it's fresh as right. Ain't no comeback when what I say.

SPEAKER_00 4:07

I feel y'all.

SPEAKER_01 4:07

Because whatever I say, bro, it's too it's to help it's to help people understand. You know what I'm saying? Because if I don't say nothing, I'm also wrong too. Yeah, if I don't say nothing, because you gotta understand, bro, it's a lot of niggas who this is the main reason I came here, bro, besides you. It's a lot of niggas, bro, that do their songs and they sit there and talk about fuck niggas, how niggas don't do shit for them. What about the niggas that did shit for you, bro?

unknown 4:30

Uh uh.

SPEAKER_01 4:31

What about the niggas that actually spent hundred grand, 200 grand for you to get you back on your feet?

SPEAKER_00 4:36

SPEAKER_01 4:36

And the nigga at the BT Awards with you sitting next to you, bro. You did the red carpet with me. And you couldn't even say thank you, nigga, but you told you you said thank you to all the niggas you told me you hate before I gave you the $200,000. Before I looked out for you. So it's time for the real niggas to get to know, like it's real niggas out here too.

SPEAKER_03 4:55

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:56

Ain't nobody jealous of nobody, bro. Cause I spend the money because I believe in you, nigga. You asked me to put a contract and I ain't do no contract, bro. I I said, my nigga, if you real, you're gonna know what I spend. You saw the safe. You was at my house for two months. You saw what I did, nigga. I took off my necklace that I paid 60 grand for and put it in your neck. I had a show in Tampa, bro, at the arena. Me, Walker, Wayne, your Gotti, nigga, I'm on the I'm on the set. But I said, nah, you go. I took my necklace, I let you perform your song, nigga. So you talk about that. Let these niggas know, man. What type of nigga? Because me, I've done that with like 10, 10 of y'all favorite rappers, bro. Not one nigga ever got on got on stage, or I'm at the BET Awards next to you, bro. I gotta sit there, I'm staring at you. Like this nigga staring at me. And I ain't do it for the money, bro. I did it because I believed in you. Right, right. So you get a number one song in the country. We had the BET Awards, and you can't even say thank you to me. But I gotta hear you say thank you to all the niggas you told me you hate. You know what I'm saying? I brought you back, bro. You know what I'm saying? The least you could do is show appreciation, my nigga. Even if you did it behind closed doors, you don't have to do it at the BET Awards. Because I'm at the BET Awards with you. You could have just said, bro, thank you, Fresh. I would have been like, my nigga, go keep doing what you're doing, bro. At least you acknowledge that. So we gotta acknowledge the good niggas too. Right, right. Not just the fuck niggas, bro. That's right. And that's why I came here to talk about, bro. I ain't gonna go hard on nobody because if it was like that, I wouldn't even say it at your show. It'd just, it would have been handled.

SPEAKER_03 6:31

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01 6:32

But why I'm gonna do something stupid when I'm getting millions, I'm happy, I'm blessed. So, so so God, not only God save you, my success saves you. Just cause a nigga don't do nothing to you, that don't mean he's pussy, bro. Sometimes you take a the real nigga is the nigga that's gonna not gonna do shit. Sometimes that's the real nigga. Yeah, because you ain't worth 20 years of me, man. Why fresh kill that nigga? Oh, because he he he stole his money, a hundred grand. I made 30 million since then. You see what I'm saying? So I'm gonna look at you, but at the end of the day, I'm gonna let you know, bruh. So that way when you look at this show, that shit gonna that shit gonna change your life, nigga.

I proved niggas wrong it ain't about talent, nigga. I had I had three niggas when I first, this happened in 2000, I think 2003, bro. It was three niggas that went to college with me. You know what I'm saying? At Bethune Kutman. You know what I'm saying? Daytona. So three niggas, they started rapping. So I thought them niggas could rap. I don't know nothing about rap. You know what I'm saying? So them niggas just be rapping. It's once you get in the game, you realize what it is, what rap is. But at that time, then my niggas, I say, man, y'all form a group. I gave them the name, VIP. So I said, okay, y'all niggas rap. I'ma put the money behind y'all, because that's me. I'll be ready to just, I want niggas to win, succeed. So I took out like 30, 40 grand. I say, bro, let's go to the studio. So I'm at the studio every day, bro. Them niggas, we gotta get a pound of weed. I don't smoke or drink. So we gotta get a pound of weed. So niggas be in there for 14 hours, bro. I'm paying every day. Bro, I'm like, god damn, niggas come late. Niggas, so I'm in thousands into this shit, bro. I'm like, damn, bro. So one day niggas ain't show up. You know, niggas trying to do their street shit and rap. Because when it's another nigga money, motherfuckers don't take it seriously, bro. That's why I never sign another artist, bro. Because a nigga, no matter how much these niggas love you, bro, whether it's your family member, a friend, girlfriend, whatever it is, once you, once they don't feel that they gonna they got where they want to go on time, or they look at you like you can't do shit for them, you done.

I was like, it was every nigga that that's Miami that had something going on was in that video shoot. They showed me love because they they you know they felt something was gonna happen after that. You know what I'm saying? So basically, my whole point is like, bro, like I feel like I went to the to the top. Like, like your success depends on what you call success, not what other people say, bro. I never got a nationwide song, but the whole the whole country know a nigga name. No, it's refresh now. They know the name. You feel me? So that's what I'm focused on because I had to I had to represent this. And I knew the only way people gonna listen to you if you somebody. So my goal was to become somebody. Now I could I could set off zones.

SPEAKER_02 24:20

Exactly. Now you can put it on the city.

SPEAKER_01 24:21

Bro, because they listen to you when you're success, bro. Of course. People don't listen to a nigga that that's around them every day. So I wanted to go to the biggest to the biggest stage, and we did all that.

SPEAKER_00 24:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:31

Because I'm gonna tell you three things on his show right now. All the niggas that rap in Florida, that's big time, I've done more than 90% of them, bro. I'm the first nigga from Florida to be on a um NBA Live. Y'all didn't know that I'm finna bust all that shit with him on his show. NBA Live 2010, go in that motherfucker, nigga. Go buy it anywhere. You're gonna see Haitian Fresh and Wyclef on there. And Snoop Dogg. And they had B.O.B. on there, us three. Now these are platinum niggas. Who the fuck am I? But I'm on that motherfucker. First nigga with a mascot, Haitian Fresh, nigga.

SPEAKER_01 25:05

I'm at the B Jill where it's nigga Beyonce coming to my mascot asking for a picture. I'm like, bitch, I'm right here. So excuse me, I don't mean to call Beyonce a bitch. I don't want the Illuminati, I ain't make it. I want y'all niggas to come after me. Because anybody don't like them, bro. But but Beyonce, excuse me, that's the queen, but she came, bro. Queen Latifa. Everybody was like, look, they came to my to my mascot, bro, at the B2. I had two mascots out at the B2. You can Google that shit. You know what I'm saying? The first nigga to do that.

First nigga to make it to the B2, wear a carpet by himself with no hit song, nigga. Haitian fresh.

unknown 25:47

Haitian.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

You feel me? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's the ice shit, man. Bro, it's the Haitian mentality. It's a Zoe. That's why I say Zoe all the time. No way with the Zoe. I did it without talent, nigga, because I'ma see talent with an A-list nigga. And an A-list nigga always gonna win. No matter what. The person that put the most work in always gonna win, bro. Cause I was determined, bro. Niggas say rich or die trying. Me was like, bitch, get a get famous or die trying, nigga. That was my shit, bro. That's how I felt. Because nobody knows how I felt. I know niggas was laughing. Oh, he ain't gonna do this, but as soon as they saw me on BET Awards, I came back, and niggas I used to look up to was ask somebody to take a picture, bro. Imagine how that feels, nigga. Like you a rapper to me. I don't know how to rap. Then 10 months later, two years later, you're like, Fresh, let's take a picture. That's the type of shit that was happening, dog. Cause niggas see you at a position, because I got signed twice. I got signed with Wyclef. You know what I'm saying? Then I got signed with Waka Flocka. But people gotta understand what sign means. Some sign could be like, nigga, I'll fuck with you. I'ma sign you. So in public, I'm gonna say I sign you, but ain't no money. Ain't no money, ain't shit, nigga. I'm just bitch, you better use this cosign.

SPEAKER_00 27:00

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:01

That's what I got.

SPEAKER_00 27:02

You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 27:03

Because I tell you right now, and I ain't never said nothing to none of them, because I love them niggas. See, I'm one of them niggas, bro. If you give me a dollar, I love you, bro. If you give me a penny, I'll love you forever. Because you didn't have to give me that dollar. But some niggas want you to give them a dollar, go sh go get them more money and more money and more. Nah, if a nigga give you their name, their brand, what else you need? Do your own hustle. That's me. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, though, you know what I'm saying? I just felt, and they weren't wrong. I won't blame them. Cause as soon as I got signed, my whole mentality changed, bro. I stopped being Haitian Fresh. You know, because Haitian Fresh will pull out his own money. Where we going? What we doing? Then when I got signed, I'm like, bitch, I'm here. I'm sitting next to Jay-Z, nigga. El C, I need love. Nigga was sitting right there where she at. Bitch, I'm at the B E to the word. That nigga staring at me. He seen me with Clef. Bitch, I'm staring at him. That's I need love, man. That's how that nigga looked at me and said, yo, my man, when your album come out, bitch. I lied to him too. Bitch, Jill. I'm looking at Uncle J. I'm like, this nigga asked me where I'm going to be. I'm looking at why I cleft. Bitch, what the fuck? We doing the album? Bro, El Cool J as me. My man, I'll never forget that shit. They was saying right there. Bitch, I had I had fabulous too. Was like, bro, so you the new nigga, man. What's up with your album? I lied to these motherfuckers too. April, bitch. July, bitch. You know what I'm saying? I had Keisha Cole in the back of me. Keisha Cole, you know, that's Keisha Cole. That's Keisha, though. I'm in the front row. So I'm thinking I made it, bro. So I look back, bro. This is the dumbest shit I ever did in my life. I look back, I say, I look back, I'm looking at Keisha Cole. I say, I say, man, your mama crazy. That would look at me like, what'd he say? Bitch, why the fuck I had to say anything, bitch. I fucked up my I'm like, dude, why you said that shit? You know, I could have just said you're beautiful. So I said, man, your mama crazy. I look back at Keisha Cole. She said, Hell, bro, what the fuck is this? So that was your first embarrassment. To this day. To this day, bro. I've seen her like a hundred times after that. I apologize. She said, yeah, because I didn't know what the fuck you been talking about. I said, Keisha Cole, man, it was my first D T award. I've seen people that I see on TV only. And these motherfuckers ask me questions like they know who the fuck I am. So I had to have fun. I said, my bad. Because I ain't know her mom, you know what I'm saying? Like stuff happened. So I say your mama crazy could have been taken by this way. But I apologize, so I ended up seeing her and we talked, you know what I'm saying? And I'm gonna tell y'all another story because y'all think I came here to be a comedian, but I'm telling y'all the truth. So I'm in the studio with Y Clef, bro. May know coming at bitch with Lakim. So me and Lakim act like we cool. I'm with Clef, she's cool with me, so we exchanged numbers. So she called me, checked on me, like, how you doing? But you know a Haitian nigga gonna tell you that bitch, Lakim. You can be small, Lakim, just call my phone. So that's when I got invited to 106 in part. My first time I got invited. That's when I had the gone jog, blah, blah, blah. So I call Lakim phone, bro. I say, I forgot who I was talking to. I say, Lakim, man, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be in New York, I'm doing 106 in part, man. You wanna come? I'll say, I'll say, what? She says, Fresh, what's wrong with you? Hung up on me, bro. And I ain't never talked to her after that. Then I thought about, I'm like, man, that's like a that's like a disrespect to Lil' Kim.

SPEAKER_00 30:38

Yeah, yeah, yeah. See me, I'm a new nigga from the. You don't know you think you fucking.

SPEAKER_01 30:44

I see you at 106 apart. She's like, Fresh, I'm gonna look like she hung up on me. I gotta be to tell the truth. She hung up on me, bro. And she, I ain't never heard from her again after that day, bro. I I fucked up, bro. All I had to do is just say, man, I'm gonna be at 106 apart. You know what I'm saying? We'll see each other after. I say, can you come on stage? We do lunch or something. We do lunch. But nigga asked the Kim to come on stage like the Kim's gonna be my hype. Bro, when you think about this shit, Baba's like, come on, bro. But you don't know. You don't know, bro. You don't know better.

SPEAKER_00 31:22

You can't do better.

SPEAKER_01 31:27

I've been looking at her like, look, Kim, man, I'm gonna get away. I'm in New York, but I'm gonna have to be pull up on me. Pull up, but she's like, nigga, you don't respect my status, the way the shit ends up in life. It's like a nigga call it Jay-Z and say, bro, I'm gonna be at and come pull up. Nigga can't even go out by himself, but he's gonna come to 106 at Park and show me love. I fucked up. I'm just telling you, I'm not fucked up.

SPEAKER_02 31:49

Hey man, it was it was that what you call the the growing pain.

SPEAKER_01 31:52

Bro, bro, I had to learn, my nigga. But only thing that I can say, bro, that I did good is every time I was with Clef, bro, Mariah Carey walked into everybody. I'm the type of nigga I'm gonna represent my dog. I don't need to talk. I'm one of them niggas. I don't need to talk. I'm gonna sit there, let you wonder who I am. Cause a lot of niggas do that, bro. You take girls, niggas, you go to the studio with Lil Wayne and motherfuckers try. I take pictures and say, hey man, I rap too. That's it happened to me so many times. Hey, you play your song, you you sit here chillin' with with like if he with Ross or something, and nigga walk in there and say, Man, let that nigga hear my shit. And niggas don't be having one song. Bitch be having a whole album. Because you trying to be nice by listening to one. But nigga, nah nah nah. That one, you think that one hot nigga. Check this one out. Take this bitch. By the time you finish, you can get a whole show. You know what I'm saying? But but that's the type of shit, bro. You gotta represent your niggas, bro. You know what I'm saying? Because niggas, some niggas ain't never been. I took I took 30 niggas to the BT Awards. 30 niggas, bro. We almost didn't make it, bro, because we was half of them had warrants, so we couldn't even get out the airport, bro. Wow. So every nigga was scared. I said, bro, I'm doing this so y'all can see another world. Y'all can see niggas get on the red carpet, bro. They saw T.I. A nigga told me first, I gotta get them. I'm like, nigga, no, you don't, bro. I gotta get them. I gotta get them. So these niggas on red carpet walk around 50. Like, I gotta get them niggas. I say, bro, no, I brought y'all here to see the other life, bro.

SPEAKER_02 33:23

Another life, man. Yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_01 33:24

Leave that shit back in Ola, back in Florida. But niggas, bro, I did that shit to show them. But like he always say, you you can't take every nigga with you, bro. But I didn't know no better. Exactly. I'm the I think I'm the first nigga with 50 Haitian niggas and the red carpet, bro. Grilling everybody. They don't even know where to go. You on that bitch. Because you gotta go from one stage to the other. My nigga just walk around. They ready to fight, bro. They're ready to fight at the red carpet. Bro, I've been through some shit, bro. This game, this game showed me a lot about life. I'm quite sure it did. It showed me a lot about life, bro. I just had a chance to see so much shit, bro. You know, I've been on tour, my nigga, like Walker. We went to tour at like Canada. We did the whole Canadian tour, you know, like like certain niggas, every every top nigga, bro. I've been around him, bro. Jeezy is one nigga that I love, bro. And Blood Raw. Blood Raw, because those are niggas that made me want to rap. Because like, like, Blood Raw was signed with Jeezy. He took me on the road. He took me on the road with him. Yeah, yeah. So I was on the road sitting with Jeezy when he had 101, thug 101, talk motivation. The hottest shit. I'm everywhere with him, bro, and I'm sitting here learning. I'm like, damn, I could do this shit. But I could do it as a Zoe. You know what I'm saying? I wanted to do it as a Haitian nigga. Exactly. Because you can't you can't go back and do what Jeezy did. The only nigga you could do the best is you. You can be the best H.

SPEAKER_00 34:52

Best of you, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:53

Best of you. You know what I'm saying? But I saw how this nigga did it, bro. It's a straight business. Straight business, bro. This nigga shit. I used to sit there like, damn, I can't believe I'm on this bus. I'm what I'm learning, bro. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 35:05

What's one of the um things that you could say, like, man, through all this, you you you've been through what fresh, what's one of the the the things that you say, boy, I learned this, and it stuck with you to right now.

SPEAKER_01 35:17

Good question, but I'ma say this, bro. Sometimes, my nigga, it takes God. Like, what you chasing is probably not for you. What you chasing, bro. Like, what I was chasing, I ain't know what I was chasing. Right, right, right. That's probably why I never made it because that's not what God wants me to do. What God wants me to do, bro, is to is to be in front of the whole world and telling them to it's okay to get a job. It's okay, it's okay to work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's okay. Like, rap could be something that you want to do, but have a backup plan. That's God want me to do stuff like that, bro. Because I had an angel told me that. A lot of people don't even know that Haitian Fresh got a college degree. Nah, I got two degrees. See? You know, I got two degrees, like my master's, bro. Like, I went to college, nigga. I'm quick to post my shit. Because I would I was for years, bro. I'm gonna tell y'all this, bro. I was scared to show them who the other nigga is. It's Jimmy, then it's Haitian Fresh. See, Jimmy's that nigga. Right. But Haitian Fresh never wanted to show Jimmy. Bitch, I ain't never want to show my bald head, nigga. I used to hide that shit, nigga. Like everywhere, bitch. Bitch, if I'm working or something, a bitch come. A bitch call your house, motherfucker. Like, bitch, let me be Haitian Fresh. I ain't want him to meet Jimmy. Then it took me like 15 years, bro, because it wouldn't have been no Haitian Fresh without Jimmy. It's a man behind the man, bro. Because Jimmy making a million dollars a year, he's doing all that. Haitian Fresh is wasting money, you know, trying to die. You know what I'm saying? Like almost got Rico cases and Jimmy looking at this nigga like, bro, what you chasing? What you chasing? Because if it's not for you, bro, just because you're in blow up that doesn't mean you didn't, you didn't, you couldn't, it's just that's not what God wants you to do. You know what I'm saying? Because I probably wouldn't have been here if I got a hit song, bro. I'm telling you straight up. I went to New York, nigga, and Clef, I love Clef, that's my brother. But Clef had me in the room with like a bunch of dudes with glasses, like, bro, you don't gotta wrap the Haitian flag. And I told Clef in it, I am gonna, that's how you got me. Nigga, some people wanted me to change, bro. I ain't saying him, but I spent two months in New York, bro. I came out with no songs. Because the song they was trying to make me do, that's not what I felt. I did them, but I didn't go home like, man, I got one. I went home like, man, this nigga just don't believe in me like that. You know what I'm saying? This nigga just don't believe in me, but I love him, so I can't switch out. I can't switch out. So I stayed, but I stayed uncomfortable because I know who I am, bro. I'm a Jay Z A list nigga, not a not a rapper. You know what I'm saying? But at the end of the day, motherfucker, write something for me. You know what I'm saying? If we do something, push the shit. You know what I'm saying? I had to sit there and watch my brother, bro, nigga that I love, bro, push DJ Drama, bro, when I was signed with him, bro. That shit hurt me. I couldn't sleep, bro. Everybody call me, like, man, why Clef on at Oprah show with DJ Drama? Because I knew DJ Drama was using the nigga, bro. He ain't fuck with Clef. You know what I'm saying? But he knew what he could get out of it. Right, right. So he did it with Clef. But his his spirit wasn't with Clef. Like Clef was the fluji's nigga, like Black Elvis. DJ Drama ain't believing him like that. So half of his shit he was doing with DJ Drama, yeah, you'll see a couple of clips, but nigga ain't pushed that nigga, bro, like he did Jeezy. And I'm sitting there like, bitch, I'm one of them niggas, you just gotta show me on TV. You give me a penny, I'm gonna switch that bitch to a hundred million for you. You know what I'm saying? So a nigga, a nigga, people will tell you stuff behind the door, but in the real world, you know what I'm saying? Like, why the fuck I'm not at the Grammys and I'm fine with Clef. You know what I'm saying? He's there. But at the end of the day, the little bit that he did do, I never crossed a nigga because I know I wouldn't want a nigga to do that to me. So I had to tell myself, so you gotta be the first nigga to tell yourself, that nigga either you don't have it or that nigga just don't believe in you like that. You know what I'm saying? Because we Haitian. Me and Clef could have been like, you know what I'm saying, like be puffed that in. But at the end of the day, I blame me. You know what I'm saying? Because I could have kept going strong and just have him there and kept, but I stopped everything, bro, because I felt like I made it. You know what I'm saying? I felt, I felt like, man, I don't gotta go hard no more. I'm good. Right. But that's not how it is. When you get signed, that's when you really gotta go hard. You gotta go hard, yeah. It's like if you go to the FL. You got drafted, right? To the NFL. So when I got signed, it's like I got drafted. But what you gonna do? You gonna start working out?

SPEAKER_02 39:34

That's when it actually starts now, huh?

SPEAKER_01 39:35

Yeah, that's when it starts. So I'm not promoting, I'm not doing shit. So three years go by, four years ago, I said, yes, that nigga don't believe in me, but I love him as a brother. I'll never turn on him, ever. So I took it, I took it to the chin, bro. I said, you know what? Five years go by, nothing happened, we just gonna separate the business part.

SPEAKER_02 39:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 39:54

Yeah, I just I'm just gonna go back to fresh. So I went back to fresh, then started getting a little buzzed again. Then I got signed with Walker. You know what I'm saying? I got signed with Walker. And Walker, you know, whatever reason, because it was me, French Montana, um, me, French Montana, and a bunch of other B Risk Squad niggas. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_03 40:13

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:14

But but but the love wasn't like, it's not like a nigga don't don't believe in you, bro. Niggas gotta understand, like, that nigga fucked up my career. You can't say that. You know what I'm saying? Because if a nigga give their brain, you gotta go hard. You gotta go hard. You gotta go hard. You know what I'm saying? To create your own name. You know what I'm saying? It's a lot of artists that that done that. A nigga gave him, I know, I know one right now. Um he he was with uh the little the little nigga with with uh he was with the Migos. The Migos, like he wasn't signed with them, but he was around them. He was around them, right? So what he used to do, he used to go into the Migos Instagram and like forward like a trick daddy, anybody. He'll just send a message, make people think, hey man, send me a song for my artist. You know what I'm saying? So they'll send a song thinking, oh yeah, the Migos asked me that shit from my artist. The nigga, the nigga jumped on the song. Yeah. And he got hot and he blew up. He blew up, he blew up off that because nobody noticed. But he told me, and I said, bro, I can tell people to say, I don't give a fuck, I'm here now. And this nigga used to call me, bro, like, Fresh, I need a song, right? Because I know when a nigga about to blow up, bro. I told you I'm anointed. So this nigga used to used to call me and say, Fresh, I need a verse. So I'm like, bitch, I see you starting to blow up, but I know because he's one of them niggas, bro. He gonna blow up no matter what. You know a nigga that just not gonna stop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So so I sent him like, I did like five songs for him. You know what I'm saying? I went to Atlanta chilling with him, whatever. And next, and a year later, the nigga big time, bro. He part of Migos. And he blew up, he made it. He Haitian. He Haitian too. You know what I'm saying? So I didn't know he was Haitian. But me and niggas like him and a bunch of other niggas made it. It's okay to say you Haitian. Why do you think I name my motherfucking self Haitian Fresh? I name myself Haitian Fresh when bitch ain't like Haitians. But I say, bitch, you might not like me, but nigga, when you hear my name, you're gonna have to say Haitian in front of Haitian.

SPEAKER_00 42:16

Yeah, Haitian Fresh, though, man. I hate that nigga fresh. Bitch, I just promoted Haiti. Say Haiti.

SPEAKER_01 42:21

You know what I'm saying? And that's why I named myself that. Because I knew it was gonna be a hard road for me. But I know, you know what I'm saying? I'm gonna give it all I got, bro. I'm gonna give it all I got. And I knew at the end, if the whole world knows my name, I made it.

SPEAKER_02 42:35

Fresh, say something about Haiti, man. Say something to the viewers about Haiti, uh, uh, uh, uh Haiti information. Say say anything, anything you want to say. Just somebody that's don't know nothing about Haitians.

SPEAKER_01 42:45

They don't know, they gotta go read the story of 1804. That's all they gotta go do. Haitians, Haitians is like the most loyal people you could be around, bro. If you got Haitian friend, you got a true friend. Come on now. You know what I'm saying? Haitians is like, like people that, like, some people say we curse. You know what I'm saying? Because every, nigga, we've been through more earthquake and and and hurricane. Nigga, and we still smiling. Still here. Still smiling, still here. Haitians is like, bro, Haitians is is the best, is the blood of the people that's that's just they're blessed, bro. They're blessed.

I mean, to be able to say you the first, you the first slaves, bro, you the first free slaves in the world, and it happened to be Haitians, nigga. So if you a Haitian, nigga, you blessed already. It's in your blood. Cause we went against niggas with guns, nigga. Bitch, you can have a dog. And I beat you. And outnumber now. So Haitians are warriors, bro. Haitians are warriors, Haitians are winners. And that's why we come here with nothing and we we get everything, bro. Because if if you give us a chance, we're gonna do it. All we need is a chance, bro. That's why I'm proud to say I'm Haitian. Because niggas. Man, we do it. Same here. Yeah. Fresh, man.
