00:00You expressed your disappointment in Glorilla winning Best Gospel Song at the BET Awards this year.

00:10Yeah, that's the Dr. Bobby Jones Gospel Awards. That goes to the gospel artists.

00:16If you're going to give that award out, and it's the one award every night.

00:20That night, it's the one award that we have.

00:22You've got to give it to people that's in the trenches of gospel music, in the streets.

00:26It's tough out here, man. Do you know how tough it is to be a gospel artist, man?

00:29But doesn't that make it a bit more appropriate that she did win Best Gospel since it technically is a gospel song?

00:35No, that was her song on her record. Her body of work. It wasn't their song.

00:40They were the features. She was the main artist. That's why they gave it to her.

00:43Now listen, I love Glorilla. I'm a big fan.

00:46The Bible said, let everything to have breath praise the Lord.

00:48Everybody have the right to give God praise. Ain't nobody trying to take nothing from...

00:51Let me say this to all my TMZ people. I've got to give with my family. Let me say this to you.

00:55Glorilla didn't choose herself. She didn't say, hey, give me the award.

01:01Somebody made that decision. So I don't have no... I'm not tripping on Glorilla.

01:05I want Glorilla to know I'm a fan. It's 7 p.m. Friday, 95 degrees.

01:09You know, let her cook. You know, I'm good with you. I'm good with you.

01:12So I don't want anybody to think Dietrich got a problem with Glorilla. No, man.

01:16Okay, so to anybody saying, you know, you hating on her or you hating on a young black woman.

01:21It's nothing like... because some people were saying, you know, it's not in the Bible to...

01:25Yeah, they're ignorant. They're ignorant. They don't listen.

01:27Okay, so that's not what you were doing.

01:28No, you have to pay attention to what I'm saying. I'm surrounded by black women. You know what I'm saying?

01:33I'm surrounded, raised by black women. I would never hate on a black woman.

01:36That particular award belongs to a gospel artist just like she deserved to be top of the hip-hop female artist.

01:44She should... she could win. She should win with the hit she's been coming out with. You know what I'm saying?

01:48Yeah. That's all I'm saying.

01:49Have you spoke to her directly since, you know, that video went viral or no?

01:52No, no, but I would love to talk to her, love to collab with her.

01:55I don't want her to think Dietrich Haddon is her enemy.

01:57Who anybody's trying to put me and her against each other, you're wrong.
