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.

The entertainer, who died in 1977, was last in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 with his classic Merry Christmas album, which ranked at No. 9 on the Dec. 31, 1960-dated chart. It had previously spent a week at No. 1 on Jan. 6, 1958-dated chart.
Merry Christmas became the second holiday album to top the Billboard 200, following its launch as a regularly published weekly chart in March 1956. Elvis Presley’s Elvis’ Christmas Album was the first chart-topping holiday set, as it topped the chart for three weeks in December 1957, moved aside for Crosby for a week and then returned to No. 1 for one more week in January 1958.
