[00:00:00]What about the most famous person you sold to?

[00:00:02]>> I've had like the big Latin artists. I had Lil Baby DM me like a month ago after I was sitting courtside at MSG.

[00:00:07]Remember the blue perpetual I put on? He DM'd me with the black ceramic. He wrote like, "Yeah, I need that blue ceramic."

[00:00:12]So, I messaged him in 2018. This is before I had anything. I wanted to see if he would answer me. He never answered. Then he hit me up. He goes, "Yeah, I need that blue ceramic." How was it getting DMs from people like that? It's cool as [ __ ] but now it's I'm kind of numbed to it. Yeah, that's like one thing with the success which kind of like again, it's a huge plus.

He shouted me out and I think at the time I probably had like 1,200 followers. And when he shouted me out, he got me up to like 2,200. [music] And I remember my thing was growing and I had like NFL players following me.

[00:01:13]Like a refresh.

[00:01:14]>> Shout outs were real back then. Now a shout out is watered down. It's just watered down. Back then he shouted me out and I remember it and I got this euphoria. [music] I remember Cameron's wife DM'd me. She's like, "I'm looking for a crazy I'm like the excitement that I had. I had to walk out of my shop up and down the
