s , let's get into it. go to radhiya, ready for the interview, you said hobbies growing up, building your shoe collection and playing basketball, those go hand in hand, did you buy a lot of shoes? I mean, when I played basketball, I used to play like I don't know, like harness or like Once the levers my favorite drawer once I know I'm more of a classic like I didn't listen to anyone - 13 and that's it, I heard that after of 13 we have a mutual friend who said listen after 13, he doesn't buy anything after 13 is that true, yes, so not 14, not even 16 or 17, maybe if I fill up only if I put space , but usually they only want thirteen, there's one thing I wanted to talk about.

You got your name from something that happened in the school cafeteria. yeah, not many people may know, yeah, describe that story about what happened, that's crazy, yeah, so one day I had a lot of money on me and I thought I was just buying food for the body, like my kind or dinners, girl, I'm just getting started. calling me very rich so the name just stuck there was high school or yeah I'd like to start in high school yeah and then in high school how many times did you change kicks? Was it always important for you to come? cool, I mean, I'm not really having a moment like my mom, she had a little money, but like me, I had to borrow my shoes, so I just built my place and steadily, but now I'm just born with that, you know, you said you started playing basketball in high school, but you had a pair of basketball shoes in high school, what do you remember as the first signature sneaker that you really liked?

I mean, when I was a young pop, yeah. Bran Joe I guess that's what my little one was like, my little thing, I bought it as a surprise, okay, and then you were Katie and pearls, I think you said you'd mix it up with basketball shoes, yeah, you know, you said LeBron, your dad bought you the jersey, what is it like?, is posting start with me, what was that moment like for you? um he's been supportive, sense of feeding the streets, he just throws it down at the beginning, they just took advantage of it and stuff so it's great just to see. as someone I grew up watching, just rooting for me like he was always crazy, did you hit him after that or did, yeah, did we have a conversation?

I'm supposed to stop and watch a song, Ronnie, what I love about Ronnie is like He'll come up with all of you, you know, it means the young generation of rappers and muscle guys like their basketball career and their careers are going to go, so it will be exciting to see. I'll still comment on the post as if this guy really was the best day. in our long could be a in our in the business, of course, yes, of course, I feel like it was his world with all those being like someone who pushed the limits of everything.

I feel like he could surely be anything you want to be, but he has a Good ear, yeah, you said LeBron is your all-time favorite, but I've seen you in your lady. Jersey, do you think he's like next? Is he one of your favorites? Do you like the colors? One thing about me when I go from city to city I really only collect t-shirts, even if I don't know it. I mean, of course I know, but. It would be an old school t-shirt, the judge from our movie, which my brother told me about. I only bought it just to go see the movie or see what the character was.

It's something I just did in my little time and it's a big brother hosting you, yes, yes, yes, because I saw what I did in the United States. I think you were Iverson's jersey and that was a big moment for you. Meek Mill, who did all the air, so here it is, yeah, you're sentimental about those t-shirts, yeah, closet. Looks like a Mitchell in that store or what's to come. Yes, Roddy, you're also a big fan of the old-school Air Max. What models are your favorites? We have 95 and 97. 97, for sure. I had a couple of these gold ones.

I only wear them when I'm relaxing with a whistle, you know, comfortable, yeah, yeah, you're from Compton, we need to talk about a Compton-centric shoe or Tess, yeah, are you a big Cortez guy or what he got? It wasn't a big question, I never bought a pair for two, but I know it's like an OG thing, like it's not really OG, if that booty show like I always liked, the more different the Jordan is, but I know it screams the point, attend, yes. that's his Cortez, but that's his tendency, you know, to say that I was just different another big thing in Compton buying sneakers at swap meets your big brother was a bird at swap meets buying sneakers or what did I tell you about I went to the swap meets okay, swap means what I just don't know it was more like the Air Force Ones and Tam that I wore attend the Air Force Ones because I'm really like we're just talking about my basic sneakers you know what what am I saying, this is what it was like for someone who doesn't know about swap meets, what exactly is it like, then you have the mock jury, okay, you have a cool jury that you can buy, you just have to go to the right person, I mean a guy sweaty, normal stuff you could put on some cool sneakers, yeah, yeah, you can go in there and buy it, buy the Jordans when they come out, I just have to make sure it's dentists to wait for or someone who co-signed it on the coast West, of course, Nipsey Hussle.

You know, racks come out in the middle. I see tweets like they should bother a Grammy for humming that song. How is? You know, unfortunately he passed away, but seeing the response to that song and him signing you before, I mean. he was when he made the song, he told me that the streets would really feel this small, oh he told me this, so just to see it manifest was crazy and the thing is I had to book it and really have it. serious conversations about just expanding the business at different levels, you know, that's exactly a game and you know he abandoned the Puma collection, yes, they managed it even with his death and all the profits went to his foundation and you think about that move.

Are you excited to see that, oh yeah I posted it and all I get is support every time the marathon closes for a month. We supported you when it was over. Yes, everything is well talked about now, easy part of the browser, so let's see what you are going to buy. the ones here are leaving with the heat right now yeah yeah I'm gonna go get these for the city sweetie you ready no I'm gonna get the flu games my first sold out show in LA. I had the flu at the Novo and doing the whole city show with the flu, so I have to go with the cat, this cover man, Travis Scott, he just brought me to the astral world, kind of like I have a support, okay , your total today will be nine thousand three hundred three dollars and 37 Cents So Rowdy came out with excellent pickups.
