What’s going on, everybody? Welcome to another episode of Billboard News. You let me host another one. I’m Mike Saponara. We have the guy with us, the Heartbreak Kid. Can you believe it? 4Batz in the building.
4Batz:
Your boy in the middle, what’s up?
How we feeling? Good?
Amazing, blessed.
In New York.
In New York.
How’s your trip treating you?
Beautiful. It’s always a trip. It’s always a good trip.
Well, we love that you’re here, bro. You got your project coming on the way, Thank You, Jada. How do you want to set this up that differentiates from your first project, U Made Me a St4r?
Honestly, I want to continue the story. You know, I look at my life like a story. I look at my life like I think it’s always been interesting like a book. You know, that’s why I named them. The first was acts, chapters, you know, it’s a story. I’m just trying to continue with it.
Like we’ve heard you say, Thank You, Jada, before that was the tour and everything. Why’d you want to continue, I guess, with that theme?
Because it’s going to be just one continuation to the story. But also, you know, a lot of people didn’t see, you know, a lot of people know the tour. See the tour before, right? So the tape is kind of showing like, you know, you made me a star. Thank you, Jada. That’s why I thank you. After this, I don’t know, it might be over with. You know, you gotta talk to the author about that.
Keep watching for more!
