00:00
Guys, when I say I'm a big fan, I'm a huge fan of Summer Walker.
00:04
Oh my goodness.
00:05
I love Arby, guys.
00:06
She looks beautiful as expected.
00:07
Here she is.
00:08
Oh my gosh.
00:09
We might have to help her get up on the platform.
00:10
Would you like some help?
00:11
Let me help you.
00:12
Oh my gosh.
00:13
Hello.
00:14
Hi.
00:15
Nice to meet you.
00:16
Wow.
00:17
How are you?
00:18
I'm good.
00:19
It's very good to hear.
00:20
I've got to ask you first because, listen, I'm a fellow introverted girly, and I think
00:24
you and I are both in that situation where we're put in front of people.
00:28
What advice do you have for me as we go on to feel more comfortable with myself kind
00:32
of in front of the camera?
00:33
Take a shot.
00:34
Oh, okay.
00:35
I don't mind that at all, and I will be taking one after this.
00:38
No, I'm lying to you.
00:39
I really don't know.
00:40
Pray, girl.
00:41
Yeah, it's true.
00:42
It's rough out here when you're an introvert.
00:43
It's true.
00:44
Well, you're presenting tonight, so how does it feel to be part of such an empowering moment
00:50
and empowering night with all these powerful women?
00:53
I'm excited.
00:54
It's something new for me to try and do, so it'll be fun.
00:58
You've been a longtime staple in the R&B world.
01:02
How do you continue to push the boundary, not only for yourself, but for your career?
01:07
How do I continue to push the boundary?
01:09
Yes.
01:10
I just be myself.
01:11
Absolutely.
01:12
The authenticity is key, right?
01:13
Yeah.
01:14
Yes, it is.
01:15
Because you see it the way the fans even respond, too.
01:17
Being able to relate with people, that's what works for me.
01:20
Absolutely.
01:21
Before the fame, you ran an independent cleaning service, which I really admire because it
01:25
highlights your determination and your hustle.
01:29
Those values are very important in life.
01:31
What advice would you give to aspiring dreamers out there on balancing life's responsibilities
01:36
while also maintaining their music career?
01:40
I would say just never get too comfortable.
01:44
This economy isn't getting any better.
01:46
I have a question for you, though.
01:48
Yes.
01:50
If I'm not mistaken, Mike Tyson, you interviewed him?
01:53
Yes, that's me.
01:54
Yes, I did.
01:55
How old are you?
01:56
I'm 14 years old right now.
01:57
I'm so proud of you.
01:58
Thank you so much.
01:59
I'm turning 15, guys.
02:00
Thank you so much.
02:01
Yeah, you're doing great.
02:02
Thank you so much for that.
02:03
That really means a lot coming from you because I'm a huge R&B fan.
02:07
When my sister first got me into R&B, she made me listen to you first.
02:11
I'm very proud to say that.
02:12
Thank you so much.
02:13
Lastly, I've got to ask you, who's a woman on your playlist that you can't stop listening
02:16
to lately?
02:18
The lady of the night, Erykah Badu.
02:20
Oh, Erykah Badu and iKon.
02:22
The iKon.
02:23
The iKon award recipient.
02:24
So talented.
02:25
Oh my gosh.
02:26
Yes, absolutely.
02:27
Absolutely.
02:28
She's spiritual.
02:29
She speaks to the heart a lot like you and your music, too, which is incredible.
02:31
Yeah.
02:33
Thank you so much, Summer.
02:34
It's so good to catch up with you.
02:35
Nice to meet you guys.
02:36
Nice to meet you as well.
02:37
We'll catch you in there.
02:38
Have a great night.
02:39
Thank you so much.
