It’s bigger issues out here ! Let’s not make hers more important , it’s not enough evidence for that. I just think she caught on to reality at a really late age unfortunately after being under her parents roof and rules and seen how the real works fr. I don’t understand how one can not know the reality that everybody live in .. imagine not knowing or ever wanted to .
I personally think zonnique hates people because she's been let down or disappointed so much...so in a way,she's rejecting people before they reject her
That was me too. That’s just how I responded due to trauma. You feel numb, empty, distant etc. I push people away to protect myself so they won’t get to do it to me first.
She seems emotionally numb , love that she tried her best opening up ,so proud that she Atleast released some of it and was in a safe space , she could def benefit from therapy .
Tiny is a typical gen-X woman who mostly abandoned their kids the worst more than any generation. Tony is the type to dismiss Zonnique pain, suffering and trauma. Like she left Z in the seat but be like a fake friend to her or treat her like a homegirl type of relationship but it’s fake. Tiny looks apathetic (lack of care) towards Z so they keep it superficial but nothing beyond that. That’s not a good mother, that’s woman who had a kid but never was a parent. Materials, hair dos, clothes and money don’t equal good parenting. Those type of mothers are dangerous but they’ll will get married have kids then move on to that man and be all about their men even if it hurt their kids. She definitely don’t like her mother, I’m sure she loves her from afar. I could tell, I’m Z age and have experienced this. I know that pain is there and I knew on their show back in 2012 Z was distant from tiny and sometime tiny would talk passive aggressive towards her like she was an afterthought, she married and divested from her daughter mentally/emotionally. They both tolerated each other but there’s no real bond or connection between them. Tiny is a old school pick me woman. This is why Z was so empty looking, detached, looks lost, and looks soulless.
She should write a book . She is so down to earth and its interesting to hear about her regular upbringing with grandparents versus her celebrity upbringing.
loved the interview. i feel like this is the first time we’ve ever seen zonnique vulnerable and comfortable. glad she was able to have that experience with such a great interviewer. ❤
I’ve always loved Zonnique’s vibe. It’s calm and relatable. She’s just chilling through life. And I love her and Izzy together. You can tell they have reciprocated love!
I think Z really wanted to get this off her chest to be lighter and happier. She wants to tell her mom these things but she just doesn't know how. This is like her message to Tiny.
She’s healing from bullshit and things she didn’t deserve! How do you force something on someone consistently and just tell them this is who you are because I said so :/ that’s weird ! Freedom of speech and speaking your mind when you’re ready is essential you can’t force this on someone cause you really gotta have a reason ? Let them do wtf they wanna do with they life and stop interfering and find self love
Like most kids with abusive or neglectful parents she has spent all these years protecting their parent,parents.But still she is saying a lot without saying it,My mother chose Tip over me .Yes Tiny had a career ,even more so then Tip has .But even with all this matter she completed ,it should have been her kids times ,she chased ,ran behind Tip.I have always felt she was desperate for that man and feared he would replace her if she left his side in anyways.He sleeping with was her way to keep him ,be with him and these women to control any interaction he has with these women.
@@Triss1018 “Numb” means to not feel. So if she realized she’s not numb, she wouldn’t use that word. Nor say the other things that she said. Like I said…she’s not numb, it’s just bottled up.
We often think the celebrity kids have it perfect from the outside looking in ,but nobody ever talks about what they might be going through when the cameras turn off. You can see zonnique has sum unresolved hurt that she’s not ready to talk about ,but it could be good for her to see a therapist.I love her ❤️
Her the other daughter by Tip whom has depression was cutting herself and as it seem something SA may have happened to her when younger by someone.She too like Nique seen to hold things in but it is now having a effect on her ,so both like the others keep holding things in ,protecting everyone involved not getting this is hurting them more.Again we watched a edited Tv show about the family for years but what happened when the cameras stopped.Them being raised by others,Tip play sister and Tinys mother whom had know control over King.I now after this interview see even him differently,his acting out,maybe at first it was all about wanting his parents to be their for him ,now it is about impressing others, and those others are dangerous fir him to be around.Major seemed to have a mother figure in his play sister ,so he was the one I worried about most when she passed.The others only in camera raided by Tip but off they were raised by their mothers at least had them when the three others did not even have Tiny,their mother .Now they have despite not being there have a younger daughter,so is she experiencing the same things her older siblings went through.Tiny is a pickme ,always will be and her world involves doing all she can to keep Tip,maybe even now bring in money since he really has never had a successful career,no where near her, which is why he keeps her,
She doesn’t have to unload it all today. But Zonnique, if you see this comment, you just opened door 1, pls continue even if in the privacy of your own home, to dig deeper & answer some of your own questions. Don’t block them out. I learned when I had a child everything I was trying to be opposite of poured out of me. God will trigger ways for you to change. “You can’t heal what you won’t reveal” is so true. Praying for your journey because you’re such a light!
This is the most I’ve ever heard her speak. She has a great voice to have her own podcast. Very mature and I hope she gets to a place where she can give herself permission to feel and express her experiences. Love this interview ❤
She’s beautiful inside and out she always was the light in the room that was overlooked! Keep being yourself queen hats off to you for being humble and true to yourself bump how others feel!
I get the sense that Zonnique doesn’t necessarily “like” her mother, it’s obvious that she has a love for her mom but I can tell that a lot of the things she witnessed regarding her mother has turned her off and/or created an emotional wall, she almost resents her mother for some of the discussions that were made that had an impact on her life and I can understand that, those feelings are a lot more common than Zonnique may think, everyone reaches a point in their lives where you start seeing your parents as humans or “regular people” and subconsciously we start judging them as such, you start thinking about the things your parents did that you didn’t like or would never do for yourself or with your own children, I feel like it’s apart of growth and may be where Zonnique is in life. Said all that to say this was a very enjoyable interview.
I would disagree in that I don’t feel she dislikes her but it’s more of resentment that she hasn’t allowed her to deal with. I actually think she really likes her mom and they are super close
@@DBrown-vg1fi I feel the same and to add she see’s even after all these years her mother Tiny is still up under Tip,not there .I used to can nit stand that child King ,but after this interview I get Tiny and Tip was not there for him either or the other kids.They loved him being smart mouth and more on their show for ratings but now he is in real time,publicly doing it,I have talked to him repeatedly about this that.I think their show was them just pretending to be great parents with great kids but when the cameras stopped rolling ,Nique,King and Major was being raised by Tiny mother and Tips play sister.The other of Tips kids were being raised by their mothers mostly but I also feel the other daughter is hiding something traumatic that happened to her as a child.The baby girl yes again Tiny was all supportive of her singing as she did Niique but is she being now left also while she chases behind Tip.
I think he can bring things out of her and I’m getting such a vibe from them feeding off of each other’s energy. Especially when he said he would help her start a podcast. Talking about topics opens your mind, heart, and feelings.
Good interview!!!! She tlked about how numb she is n how she hold everything in but you was very patient with her , understanding and had her telling her feelings without even pushing it on her. Just amazing. This actually made me cry cuz i can relate to both of yall on so many levels
I don’t think she asked for a smooth interview unfortunately it just happened that way and you can’t control people nor what they do. However in this particular interview she was able to get things out there. She’s not an attention seeking person , it doesn’t seem like she want the spot light none of that . She’s sitting elegantly and sexy she just wanna live life her way
I give this man all props for touching on these subjects as a young brother. I am 62 and he has me locked in and smiling at the same time. So much negative about our young folk its good to see the greatness keep it coming young man.
First time tuning into this show and man, you can tell both Zonnique and the interviewer have done so much introspection work. These are the conversations we need to have! 👏🏾
Zonnique please continue to speak your truth and walk in your purpose! Don’t let what other ppl may say stop you from talking your shit! I hope going forward you do it for the ppl that’s rocking with you and for those who will have something negative to say those ppl have no life! F them! Lbs loved it 💕
I totally understand Zonnique’s POV with her mom. My mom wasn’t the best mom; however, I still loved her AND later in life she got better. You don’t really want to speak on the negative because you don’t want to go back to a place you’ve already overcome. With that being said, I also understand if Zonnique doesn’t deal with the hurt of her inner child it’s going to affect her later in life. Trust me… You can only be numb for so long. Share your story. I assure you, there are others who’ve experienced the same thing. ❤❤❤
I loved this interview I love the fact she was comfortable/ vulnerable as she could be, and at the same time she was respectful/ protective of herself and her family. Everything isn’t for everybody, I appreciate/ respect Jay for being so cool with her and keeping his word
The world needs your voice Nique! This was a beautiful conversation filled with genuine hearts, fear of what the world has shown, but willing to open up with therapy and heal. I bet Tiny will feel a relief if they talked because of course she may feel guilt. It’s a lot of healing and light around Nique. FYI forget the naysayers your tribe is your tribe focus speaking to them
Your Mom really was ALWAYS desiring to make your life better!!! Its amazing how ALL THINGS work together for our good!!!! God truly has a plan and YOU are a part of that!!! You are filled with all the right stuff that is not only sufficient but delicious!!!! Taste and see!!! The Lord is truly Good!!! Blessings sis❤️
Not me sitting her watching two hours of this! I really have so much respect for this open and vulnerability conversations. These the rooms I’m trying to stand in JAY HOLLA AT YA GIRL
This was the best therapeutic podcast interview I’ve ever watched. I can see clear as day she is emotionally numb…bleeps and all it seems like I was able to piece together of what she went through mentally and emotionally. Very powerful conversation. ❤Thank you
AWESOME interview! Zonnique, you are AMAZING, and Hunter is going to bring a lot of healing to you. At some point, you're going to have to have a Woman 2 Woman with your Mom, and she's probably waiting on you to come to her at your time. Now that you're a Mom, it's better sooner than later. It's going to be a big exhale and a greater experience with Hunter. I'm 50, and I had that conversation at 40 with my Mom, and it allowed me to be mentally better with my 17 year old daughter. We were able to go to therapy, and it made our relationship better. Ten years later, my daughter is more vocal, and we're in a great space. Thank you for this episode. ❤️❤️❤️ Update: My Mom and I have always had an AMAZING relationship, and the conversation started new beginnings for us.
Yeah she and her friends need to start a podcast, it would be 🔥 and I’ve seen how they act with one another on their personal channels! they have a bond and have great personality’s so why not 😁
Randomly came across this interview and made me want to follow. Not because of who he interviewed but how he handled the interview. He seemed to make her feel comfortable and it was like two friends just chilling. Great interview.
I love her! And I respect Jay so much after watching this. She is clearly hurt and in result of that she struggles with expressing her feelings and communicating. Im the same way. I’m glad that he helped her unpack what she was trying to say!!!
As a JD PsyD who randomly came across this video, you did a great job engaging with her, but what made me comment is the pushing of her to be emotionally expressive. The concern is who knows what she was mentally prepared to share. You seem super genuine with the best of intentions so I am humbly making an unsolicited suggestion. Pay attention to body language and watch for shifts in emotional uncomfortableness it will only make you more emotionally Intelligent, and your guest and viewers will laud you for it.
She says she’s numb & she mostly nonchalant. But truth be told I think that’s just an defense mechanism we tell ourselves in order to keep it together most times. You can literally see strength, compassion, understanding, & love in her eyes & in the way that she speaks but simultaneously you can see & hear the sadness, the burden of bottling everything up, it must be exhausting most times. Not just with her mom but overall when she speaks of everyone or everything. It’s crazy because most people are not like this at alllll! She reserved and her wisdom & ability to accept & understand things is crazy! To have the understanding & compassion for others simply because you understand & not fault them for it because you UNDERSTAND is something majority of the world LACKS! Life will not always be what we expect, what we want neither will people! So to truly understand that better helps you understand people. On a deeper level, the amount of empathy she shows towards people & situations is crazy as well! She might think she’s numb but she’s not she’s just bottling it up & refusing to speak on her feelings and emotions. Because it’s easier to let it go. Because sometimes going that deep takes a lot of energy out of you so to keep your peace & energy aligned you wave things off! & because she understands people although she doesn’t really like people it’s probably because she sees people for who they truly are not who they portray to be or who they cover up to be so she doesn’t have the energy to deal with people. Isolation & being alone can be addictive because it’s so much peace & safety in it & you get to control the things around you! Having others connected to you or being around a lot of people can throw you off balance. But we all need somebody & need a village as well. But the Baltimore thing. It’s really an urban community thing. I get exactly what she was saying. But she’s probably spent a lot of time in Baltimore I’m sure she hasn’t spent a lot of time in other urban communities or cities to know that but idk why someone would dragggg or hate her for it! We all know what she was saying & know why she didn’t know how to articulate it properly! Overall great interview. She’s a gem 💎 & I don’t think every celebrity has to be transparent or open about everything with the world as much as people want them to be! I’m glad she did doe❤️
Two things can be true at one time. That’s so difficult to work through without therapy sometimes. You can love someone and appreciate them… but still hold them accountable. Love Zonnique she’s so chill.
This is the second time I’ve watched his interviews and I love the way he is just cool as ever. Super humble. Super chill. Super HUMAN. like a homie. Thank you for sharing your platform and doing the best you can to create a safe space for your guest. I feel like I can relate to them outside of the fame .. i love this thank you
So many parents sacrifice for their children thinking they’re doing the best for their child. I worked a lot so my son could have a better life but I missed years I wish I could get back; it really make me emotional hearing Zonnique because Tiny was trying to make a better life her…but I’m happy to hear Zonnique being understanding towards her mom
Tiny spent spent a good portion of her childhood supporting Ti's career and traveling with him. Tiny actually put her career on the backburner for TI for many years.
This was dope asf! Because even ppl that’s not as fortunate or has parents that’s not in the Industry still went through this like wish they mom was at their games and when you’re a kid you’re not thinking that momma at work so she can take care of home. Money don’t mean nothing at that time it’s really the time you spend with your kid/family
Awww she has so much built up even as much as she says “she doesn’t care” or she’s numb I hope she gets the therapy that she needs that’s child hood trauma/feelings are real
This was a good interview even with parts being bleeped out. It’s funny how today Tiny posted on her IG that she was spending “time” with her girls. I guess she watched this interview. That’s why I never judge none of these celebrity kids because we don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors. I remember Nae saying Zonnique doesn’t care about a lot of things. She does but she likes to bottle everything up.
I love this interview! Been a huge fan of Zonnique for years, so it’s great to see her back in the spotlight, shining, and being transparent. This is what the world should see more of… transparency.
I believe Nique is a beautiful young lady inside and out. I was glad to see her open up about how she feels about her world, it's dope!!! This is coming from a reserved person as well. Nique you are motivational, powerful and have a compassionate heart. She is so respectful! I hope she sees this Comment! 🙏🏽 Blessed young lady.
This is my first time watching this podcast and I was pleasantly surprised. First off, hats off to Jay. He is very intelligent and is a great conversationalist. I can have a conversation with him for hours because he truly listens to understand, is very knowledgeable and knows how to carry the conversation well. He's very level headed and very mature.
I think it’s sad how afraid we are of opening up because of the judgement and opinions of outside people. I’m glad she was able to open up, although I don’t think it should’ve been by force. However own your truth Zonnique, so far in this interview you haven’t said anything bad!
I loved this interview so much!!! thank you for being vulnerable Zonnique. you (and the rest of the OMG Girlz) are a really big role model to a lot of 2000’s babies so it’s nice to see you on a personal level ❤
Jay you are very talented. I love how you broke down the inner-cities issue that plagues our communities. You were able to educate Niq and speak that real. Love your growth and pray you continue to move the culture forward.
I think most kids that come from a blended family situation feel a type of way when the parents focuses/spends more time with the spouse than them or spends a lot of time away from home due to work. I can only imagine it being amplified by the fact that before Ti…Tiny was constantly traveling with Xscape then Ti & Tiny were constantly traveling and her dad was in jail. Tiny probably thought it was ok since she left them with her parents and would allow them to be on the road with them sometimes. Obviously later Tiny realized after Ti went to jail that she needed to spend more time with the kids because she started traveling with him less and focused on the kids more including forming the OMG girls . I think Zonnique with her Bmore comment is going off of people she know or know of him, her child’s father Izzy, Mario, Jada Pickett- Smith, Tammy Rivera, etc
Those kids despite Tip having kids by other women are close it seems.I just saw a picture of them all together at like a party for one of them are someone else close to them,all were present even baby girl.The only ones not in the picture was Tiny and Tip as she is back working.It seem like Nique use to think of Tip as her dad ,call him that so what changed.It maybe her getting older and know longer being made to play this perfect family role as they all had too on TV.
This was a *REALLY dope interview!!* ..loved the natural flow of the conversation. She had me CTFU @ 1:26:24 when she said *"I'll be 31 VERY soon.."* LOL..she's 26 😭
I really appreciate this interview reason being is that I can relate to Z when it comes to motherhood and coparenting! I love how she said Motherhood is a balance between love and what's best for my child ❤ and I felt that! This interview was so authentic and transparent. I really enjoy conversations like this. We need more of this to help those who may be going through these things to know we are not alone! I tell my daughter every time even though me and your dad not together we both love you and that's what matters most!
JayHill Needs To Stop Discrediting himself! In this interview you spoke poorly on your success! Your doing great sweetie! And Zonnique, as a fan this was something we all needed! Like we want to know who you are! Never hide your true self from no one! The ones that get it, get it! 💙🤣
Zonnique is making me emotional because she’s basically saying: A house doesn’t make a HOME…and I know Love make a home…the kids lacked some love growing up because their parents was gone…probably not intentionally…Tiny may need to go to therapy with her kids and they need family sessions
This definitely as the one for Z! You made her extremely comfortable. I love it. Keep it up ! If you've ever been following her for as long as I have, you'd know this one was definitely different and I loved it
I'm in my 50s in tears 😢 just thinking about what Zonnique said about her mother being there and spending time with Tip more as opposed to her brought back my childhood cause my mother and I don't have that bond as I should til this day and I never told her that Oan BTW love this episode best 1 yet keep up the good work 👏 also proud of you Zonnique you should open up more
This interview came off like something she needed to get out, somewhat therapeutic in a way. I fux wit Tip and her moms is a part of an iconic group, but u never really know what the kids of these public figures go through. Shawty seems mellow n down to earth, but u can tell she had to numb herself through many things . Hopefully she's got a therapist to further process what's she's been thru. Numbness usually is something we do to protect ourselves. I can identify fasho. Those emotions when purged can be painful as hell, I can relate to suppressing mine. Also , I appreciate bro bleeping certain things out to protect certain things. The internet twists n turns things and causes unnecessary harm especially with families. Dope azz interview, 🫡 salute 💯
She’s so pure . All they can do is have an opinion about her but nothing to blame her for or harm her for. She’s speaking her mind . Not many can say that
now i understand why she has been so private b/c i am the same way. i appreciate you being vulnerable here and on your youtube channel. its like you give us just enough but those who know know that you could show us way more but we respect that everything is not for social media. this new phase you've stepped into is amazing b/c i've been a fan since omg but felt like i really didnt know too much about you but this is refreshing to get a glimpse into your personality.
Typical water sign.. imma Cancer. I believe she's a Pisces and her mom is a Cancer too. We don't talk about shyt but explode when it gets to be too much. Feel vulnerable when you open yourself up because people will use you against you. But we lack when it comes to relationships because of those ways. Good job Zonnique.. I know it was uncomfortable but you did good.
I always thought that bothered Zonnique. I love Tiny & T.I. But I can see how that would hurt her that Tiny was always with him. I be so happy to see Tiny do her own thing.
When she learns to live in her truth and learn to speak her truth without thinking she’s going to hurt or betray someone she’s going to flourish❤
You said it best!
It’s bigger issues out here ! Let’s not make hers more important , it’s not enough evidence for that. I just think she caught on to reality at a really late age unfortunately after being under her parents roof and rules and seen how the real works fr. I don’t understand how one can not know the reality that everybody live in .. imagine not knowing or ever wanted to .
He lives in his truth 💯 and I love that
You really gave her a therapy session. You can tell this convo was healing for her
Yes, so much built-in that was let go!!!
I personally think zonnique hates people because she's been let down or disappointed so much...so in a way,she's rejecting people before they reject her
That's exactly how I feel. I thought I hated people but I was more concerned about rejection
I’m like this at my big age
You just explained me
Agreed. I’m the same way so I definitely catch that vibe from her as well.
That was me too. That’s just how I responded due to trauma. You feel numb, empty, distant etc. I push people away to protect myself so they won’t get to do it to me first.
She seems emotionally numb , love that she tried her best opening up ,so proud that she Atleast released some of it and was in a safe space , she could def benefit from therapy .
I agree. It seems like she was trying to protect her mother’s image by not saying how she truly felt.
I agree
Tiny is a typical gen-X woman who mostly abandoned their kids the worst more than any generation. Tony is the type to dismiss Zonnique pain, suffering and trauma. Like she left Z in the seat but be like a fake friend to her or treat her like a homegirl type of relationship but it’s fake. Tiny looks apathetic (lack of care) towards Z so they keep it superficial but nothing beyond that. That’s not a good mother, that’s woman who had a kid but never was a parent. Materials, hair dos, clothes and money don’t equal good parenting.
Those type of mothers are dangerous but they’ll will get married have kids then move on to that man and be all about their men even if it hurt their kids. She definitely don’t like her mother, I’m sure she loves her from afar. I could tell, I’m Z age and have experienced this.

Right you can tell she’s not really attached to her baby the way she explained motherhood was like she regrets it
She definitely needs therapy...but don't we all.
She should write a book . She is so down to earth and its interesting to hear about her regular upbringing with grandparents versus her celebrity upbringing.
I love that he bleeped out the parts that she didn’t want out there. Made her feel safe ❤
👀
Yeah but I wanna know omg how nosey of me lmaoo
Time stamp?

This humanized her so much. Always thought she was a sweetheart. Jay you’re good at what you do ❤
This interview made me sad. She’s such a beautiful young woman. I’m praying for emotional healing and peace.
loved the interview. i feel like this is the first time we’ve ever seen zonnique vulnerable and comfortable. glad she was able to have that experience with such a great interviewer. ❤
I’ve always loved Zonnique’s vibe. It’s calm and relatable. She’s just chilling through life. And I love her and Izzy together. You can tell they have reciprocated love!
They not even together anymore .
She too good for him! In my opinion she deserves better.
Awesome interview. When she stated she didn't really like people, I totally felt that because that's my truth, too.
He should be doing way more numbers, this man did a great job making it a safe place to show us the real them 👏🏼👏🏼
I think Z really wanted to get this off her chest to be lighter and happier. She wants to tell her mom these things but she just doesn't know how. This is like her message to Tiny.
She has so many suppressed emotions & feelings. I appreciate the vulnerability, great interview ❤️
She’s healing from bullshit and things she didn’t deserve! How do you force something on someone consistently and just tell them this is who you are because I said so :/ that’s weird !

Honestly Jay & Zonnique would be so cute together 😍 i really love their vibe together & energy!
Nah
Yasss hook them up with a podcast with Zonnique, Reginae, Lo and Baja fo sho! Love them. They give great advice and funny as hell!
This was a real quality episode. The vulnerability she allowed herself to have is admirable. I’m glad she gave herself grace.
Wait until she finds out that those things never actually stopped hurting her, and in fact…she just only learned how to bottle up her emotions 🥴
Literally
She has realized that. This is why she stated several times that she's numb.
Like most kids with abusive or neglectful parents she has spent all these years protecting their parent,parents.But still she is saying a lot without saying it,My mother chose Tip over me .Yes Tiny had a career ,even more so then Tip has .But even with all this matter she completed ,it should have been her kids times ,she chased ,ran behind Tip.I have always felt she was desperate for that man and feared he would replace her if she left his side in anyways.He sleeping with was her way to keep him ,be with him and these women to control any interaction he has with these women.

Zonnique was amazing & I understand why she tried to stay out of the negativity of social media but this made me want to know more about her.❤❤

Agreed . She can do it all . Wish ppl didn’t let one thing hold them back .. it’s enough money out here for everybody haha
She’s beautiful inside and out she always was the light in the room that was overlooked! Keep being yourself queen hats off to you for being humble and true to yourself bump how others feel!
Zonnique has always been so chilled, she’s cooler than she knows.💜
Her communication skills probably lack because she hasn’t felt safe enough and heard enough. 😢
Nope I don’t think that at all. You can only tell folks how you feel until it’s time to separate and part ways .
@@parisparis808 you need intensive therapy if you think that. I wish you healing 💕
I get the sense that Zonnique doesn’t necessarily “like” her mother, it’s obvious that she has a love for her mom but I can tell that a lot of the things she witnessed regarding her mother has turned her off and/or created an emotional wall, she almost resents her mother for some of the discussions that were made that had an impact on her life and I can understand that, those feelings are a lot more common than Zonnique may think, everyone reaches a point in their lives where you start seeing your parents as humans or “regular people” and subconsciously we start judging them as such, you start thinking about the things your parents did that you didn’t like or would never do for yourself or with your own children, I feel like it’s apart of growth and may be where Zonnique is in life.
Said all that to say this was a very enjoyable interview.
31:50 is for you.
Yo this statement hit me. Cause I’ve been there. Sometimes you gotta see you Parents for who there outside of who they are to you
I would disagree in that I don’t feel she dislikes her but it’s more of resentment that she hasn’t allowed her to deal with. I actually think she really likes her mom and they are super close
I've always gotten that feeling, waaaayyyy before this interview. That's crazy how I noticed this about her
@@DBrown-vg1fi I feel the same and to add she see’s even after all these years her mother Tiny is still up under Tip,not there .I used to can nit stand that child King ,but after this interview I get Tiny and Tip was not there for him either or the other kids.They loved him being smart mouth and more on their show for ratings but now he is in real time,publicly doing it,I have talked to him repeatedly about this that.I think their show was them just pretending to be great parents with great kids but when the cameras stopped rolling ,Nique,King and Major was being raised by Tiny mother and Tips play sister.The other of Tips kids were being raised by their mothers mostly but I also feel the other daughter is hiding something traumatic that happened to her as a child.The baby girl yes again Tiny was all supportive of her singing as she did Niique but is she being now left also while she chases behind Tip.
I think he can bring things out of her and I’m getting such a vibe from them feeding off of each other’s energy. Especially when he said he would help her start a podcast. Talking about topics opens your mind, heart, and feelings.
Great interview! I like how Jay respected boundaries and kept his word. Nique should definitely do a podcast with her friends.
I love Zonnique and I know it’s hard to be open about things and even understand yourself. I’m numb to a lot of my feelings also.
Good interview!!!! She tlked about how numb she is n how she hold everything in but you was very patient with her , understanding and had her telling her feelings without even pushing it on her. Just amazing. This actually made me cry cuz i can relate to both of yall on so many levels
I don’t think she asked for a smooth interview unfortunately it just happened that way and you can’t control people nor what they do. However in this particular interview she was able to get things out there. She’s not an attention seeking person , it doesn’t seem like she want the spot light none of that . She’s sitting elegantly and sexy she just wanna live life her way
I give this man all props for touching on these subjects as a young brother. I am 62 and he has me locked in and smiling at the same time. So much negative about our young folk its good to see the greatness keep it coming young man.
First time tuning into this show and man, you can tell both Zonnique and the interviewer have done so much introspection work. These are the conversations we need to have! 👏🏾
Zonnique please continue to speak your truth and walk in your purpose! Don’t let what other ppl may say stop you from talking your shit! I hope going forward you do it for the ppl that’s rocking with you and for those who will have something negative to say those ppl have no life! F them! Lbs loved it 💕
I totally understand Zonnique’s POV with her mom. My mom wasn’t the best mom; however, I still loved her AND later in life she got better. You don’t really want to speak on the negative because you don’t want to go back to a place you’ve already overcome.
With that being said, I also understand if Zonnique doesn’t deal with the hurt of her inner child it’s going to affect her later in life. Trust me… You can only be numb for so long. Share your story. I assure you, there are others who’ve experienced the same thing. ❤❤❤
Loved hearing her emote. She’s more tapped in than she thinks. Great probing questions. Truly helped her; she needed this ❤ Beautiful young woman
Very. It’s how the world works , you catch on we not gon make her emote more important but it’s definitely her story to tell.
I loved this interview I love the fact she was comfortable/ vulnerable as she could be, and at the same time she was respectful/ protective of herself and her family. Everything isn’t for everybody, I appreciate/ respect Jay for being so cool with her and keeping his word
Prayers to her man, it’s like she has so much held inside
The world needs your voice Nique! This was a beautiful conversation filled with genuine hearts, fear of what the world has shown, but willing to open up with therapy and heal. I bet Tiny will feel a relief if they talked because of course she may feel guilt. It’s a lot of healing and light around Nique. FYI forget the naysayers your tribe is your tribe focus speaking to them
Your Mom really was ALWAYS desiring to make your life better!!! Its amazing how ALL THINGS work together for our good!!!! God truly has a plan and YOU are a part of that!!! You are filled with all the right stuff that is not only sufficient but delicious!!!! Taste and see!!! The Lord is truly Good!!! Blessings sis❤️
On of her best interviews. Glad she felt comfortable enough to be vulnerable
Love seeing Zonnique open up a little bit. Definitely enjoyed this! 🫶🏾
First time ever seeing nique in a interview I've always loved her a very calming energy about her got to see her in a different light
Not me sitting her watching two hours of this! I really have so much respect for this open and vulnerability conversations. These the rooms I’m trying to stand in JAY HOLLA AT YA GIRL
She’s very self aware and stunning
I definitely agree. A house does not make it a home..Cudos to her for being vulnerable ❤
She really needed her mom at a young age.
This was the best therapeutic podcast interview I’ve ever watched. I can see clear as day she is emotionally numb…bleeps and all it seems like I was able to piece together of what she went through mentally and emotionally. Very powerful conversation. ❤Thank you
AWESOME interview! Zonnique, you are AMAZING, and Hunter is going to bring a lot of healing to you. At some point, you're going to have to have a Woman 2 Woman with your Mom, and she's probably waiting on you to come to her at your time. Now that you're a Mom, it's better sooner than later. It's going to be a big exhale and a greater experience with Hunter. I'm 50, and I had that conversation at 40 with my Mom, and it allowed me to be mentally better with my 17 year old daughter. We were able to go to therapy, and it made our relationship better. Ten years later, my daughter is more vocal, and we're in a great space. Thank you for this episode. ❤️❤️❤️
Update: My Mom and I have always had an AMAZING relationship, and the conversation started new beginnings for us.
I feel for her you can tell that she is definitely numb and sensitive she tries so hard to not care but she really cares a lot
Whatta bomb ass interview with ZONNIQUE... She is cool AF and I'm so glad to hear her speak her mind about things.
Yeah she and her friends need to start a podcast, it would be 🔥 and I’ve seen how they act with one another on their personal channels! they have a bond and have great personality’s so why not 😁
Randomly came across this interview and made me want to follow. Not because of who he interviewed but how he handled the interview. He seemed to make her feel comfortable and it was like two friends just chilling. Great interview.
I love her! And I respect Jay so much after watching this. She is clearly hurt and in result of that she struggles with expressing her feelings and communicating. Im the same way. I’m glad that he helped her unpack what she was trying to say!!!
As a JD PsyD who randomly came across this video, you did a great job engaging with her, but what made me comment is the pushing of her to be emotionally expressive. The concern is who knows what she was mentally prepared to share. You seem super genuine with the best of intentions so I am humbly making an unsolicited suggestion. Pay attention to body language and watch for shifts in emotional uncomfortableness it will only make you more emotionally Intelligent, and your guest and viewers will laud you for it.
tell these ppl cause they don't always get it!!!
She says she’s numb & she mostly nonchalant. But truth be told I think that’s just an defense mechanism we tell ourselves in order to keep it together most times. You can literally see strength, compassion, understanding, & love in her eyes & in the way that she speaks but simultaneously you can see & hear the sadness, the burden of bottling everything up, it must be exhausting most times. Not just with her mom but overall when she speaks of everyone or everything. It’s crazy because most people are not like this at alllll! She reserved and her wisdom & ability to accept & understand things is crazy! To have the understanding & compassion for others simply because you understand & not fault them for it because you UNDERSTAND is something majority of the world LACKS! Life will not always be what we expect, what we want neither will people! So to truly understand that better helps you understand people. On a deeper level, the amount of empathy she shows towards people & situations is crazy as well! She might think she’s numb but she’s not she’s just bottling it up & refusing to speak on her feelings and emotions. Because it’s easier to let it go. Because sometimes going that deep takes a lot of energy out of you so to keep your peace & energy aligned you wave things off! & because she understands people although she doesn’t really like people it’s probably because she sees people for who they truly are not who they portray to be or who they cover up to be so she doesn’t have the energy to deal with people. Isolation & being alone can be addictive because it’s so much peace & safety in it & you get to control the things around you! Having others connected to you or being around a lot of people can throw you off balance. But we all need somebody & need a village as well. But the Baltimore thing. It’s really an urban community thing. I get exactly what she was saying. But she’s probably spent a lot of time in Baltimore I’m sure she hasn’t spent a lot of time in other urban communities or cities to know that but idk why someone would dragggg or hate her for it! We all know what she was saying & know why she didn’t know how to articulate it properly! Overall great interview. She’s a gem 💎 & I don’t think every celebrity has to be transparent or open about everything with the world as much as people want them to be! I’m glad she did doe❤️
This‼️
I second this!
I needed to read this
😮❤ wow you just spoke my truth!!!!
@@Stanfordmom- 💓
Two things can be true at one time. That’s so difficult to work through without therapy sometimes. You can love someone and appreciate them… but still hold them accountable. Love Zonnique she’s so chill.
Zonnique that girl ❤ and she know it… Glad she was able to share story in a safe space
This is the second time I’ve watched his interviews and I love the way he is just cool as ever. Super humble. Super chill. Super HUMAN. like a homie. Thank you for sharing your platform and doing the best you can to create a safe space for your guest. I feel like I can relate to them outside of the fame .. i love this thank you
So many parents sacrifice for their children thinking they’re doing the best for their child. I worked a lot so my son could have a better life but I missed years I wish I could get back; it really make me emotional hearing Zonnique because Tiny was trying to make a better life her…but I’m happy to hear Zonnique being understanding towards her mom
Tiny spent spent a good portion of her childhood supporting Ti's career and traveling with him. Tiny actually put her career on the backburner for TI for many years.
I know how it feel to numb your feelings, it’s like you don’t want to get hurt by nobody so you leave before they hurt you
No it’s really weird how this interview just helped me unpack my anxiety. I wanna talk to him too hell 🤣🤣 54:16
This was dope asf! Because even ppl that’s not as fortunate or has parents that’s not in the Industry still went through this like wish they mom was at their games and when you’re a kid you’re not thinking that momma at work so she can take care of home. Money don’t mean nothing at that time it’s really the time you spend with your kid/family
Awww she has so much built up even as much as she says “she doesn’t care” or she’s numb I hope she gets the therapy that she needs that’s child hood trauma/feelings are real
This was a good interview even with parts being bleeped out. It’s funny how today Tiny posted on her IG that she was spending “time” with her girls. I guess she watched this interview. That’s why I never judge none of these celebrity kids because we don’t know what’s happening behind closed doors. I remember Nae saying Zonnique doesn’t care about a lot of things. She does but she likes to bottle everything up.
I love this interview! Been a huge fan of Zonnique for years, so it’s great to see her back in the spotlight, shining, and being transparent. This is what the world should see more of… transparency.
I believe Nique is a beautiful young lady inside and out. I was glad to see her open up about how she feels about her world, it's dope!!! This is coming from a reserved person as well. Nique you are motivational, powerful and have a compassionate heart. She is so respectful! I hope she sees this Comment! 🙏🏽 Blessed young lady.
Motherhood is definitely an eye opener
This is my first time watching this podcast and I was pleasantly surprised. First off, hats off to Jay. He is very intelligent and is a great conversationalist. I can have a conversation with him for hours because he truly listens to understand, is very knowledgeable and knows how to carry the conversation well. He's very level headed and very mature.
I think it’s sad how afraid we are of opening up because of the judgement and opinions of outside people. I’m glad she was able to open up, although I don’t think it should’ve been by force. However own your truth Zonnique, so far in this interview you haven’t said anything bad!
I see alot of myself n Zonnique She has grown so beautifully Thanks for being open. I wish healing strength and love to my people ❤
I loved this interview so much!!! thank you for being vulnerable Zonnique. you (and the rest of the OMG Girlz) are a really big role model to a lot of 2000’s babies so it’s nice to see you on a personal level ❤
Love Zonnique’s authenticity! ❤ this was such a great interview
Jay you are very talented. I love how you broke down the inner-cities issue that plagues our communities. You were able to educate Niq and speak that real. Love your growth and pray you continue to move the culture forward.
I think her, Nae, Bajha, Lordes, & Jayde would be great with a podcast.
I do feel it was refreshing to see her share some things but definitely don’t fault her for privacy
Love and respect her 1000x more … This interview was so honest and pure ❤
You know, Zonnique needs to start songwriting for other artists!! All that wisdom and vulnerability needs to be put on paper.
I think most kids that come from a blended family situation feel a type of way when the parents focuses/spends more time with the spouse than them or spends a lot of time away from home due to work. I can only imagine it being amplified by the fact that before Ti…Tiny was constantly traveling with Xscape then Ti & Tiny were constantly traveling and her dad was in jail. Tiny probably thought it was ok since she left them with her parents and would allow them to be on the road with them sometimes. Obviously later Tiny realized after Ti went to jail that she needed to spend more time with the kids because she started traveling with him less and focused on the kids more including forming the OMG girls . I think Zonnique with her Bmore comment is going off of people she know or know of him, her child’s father Izzy, Mario, Jada Pickett- Smith, Tammy Rivera, etc
Those kids despite Tip having kids by other women are close it seems.I just saw a picture of them all together at like a party for one of them are someone else close to them,all were present even baby girl.The only ones not in the picture was Tiny and Tip as she is back working.It seem like Nique use to think of Tip as her dad ,call him that so what changed.It maybe her getting older and know longer being made to play this perfect family role as they all had too on TV.
First, you really a natural interviewer because it come out has a conversation which gets people to ease out things naturally
This was a *REALLY dope interview!!* ..loved the natural flow of the conversation. She had me CTFU @ 1:26:24 when she said *"I'll be 31 VERY soon.."* LOL..she's 26 😭
I love zonnique and Hunter is my niece lol we love her and I love she was vulnerable here💕
I really appreciate this interview reason being is that I can relate to Z when it comes to motherhood and coparenting! I love how she said Motherhood is a balance between love and what's best for my child ❤ and I felt that! This interview was so authentic and transparent. I really enjoy conversations like this. We need more of this to help those who may be going through these things to know we are not alone! I tell my daughter every time even though me and your dad not together we both love you and that's what matters most!
JayHill Needs To Stop Discrediting himself! In this interview you spoke poorly on your success! Your doing great sweetie! And Zonnique, as a fan this was something we all needed! Like we want to know who you are! Never hide your true self from no one! The ones that get it, get it! 💙🤣
A word ! You’re absolutely right thank you!
Zonnique is making me emotional because she’s basically saying: A house doesn’t make a HOME…and I know Love make a home…the kids lacked some love growing up because their parents was gone…probably not intentionally…Tiny may need to go to therapy with her kids and they need family sessions
Vulnerability is definitely a super strength
That Love Jones EP still gets played Zonnique…it is a classic
Straight🔥🔥
This definitely as the one for Z! You made her extremely comfortable. I love it. Keep it up ! If you've ever been following her for as long as I have, you'd know this one was definitely different and I loved it
Love Nique She’s Soo Real And Pure She Really A Vibe
I'm in my 50s in tears 😢 just thinking about what Zonnique said about her mother being there and spending time with Tip more as opposed to her brought back my childhood cause my mother and I don't have that bond as I should til this day and I never told her that Oan BTW love this episode best 1 yet keep up the good work 👏 also proud of you Zonnique you should open up more
I’m just starting to watch and I love the chemistry with these two.
Great interview! Loved that Zonnique was so real and vulnerable. Love her vibe!
This interview came off like something she needed to get out, somewhat therapeutic in a way.
I fux wit Tip and her moms is a part of an iconic group, but u never really know what the kids of these public figures go through. Shawty seems mellow n down to earth, but u can tell she had to numb herself through many things . Hopefully she's got a therapist to further process what's she's been thru. Numbness usually is something we do to protect ourselves. I can identify fasho.
Those emotions when purged can be painful as hell, I can relate to suppressing mine.
Also , I appreciate bro bleeping certain things out to protect certain things. The internet twists n turns things and causes unnecessary harm especially with families. Dope azz interview, 🫡 salute 💯
Zonnique is a sweetheart. Great interview! Thank you!
I want to see zonnique go on a spiritual journey. She deserves to be GENUINELY happy.
I think she is , she don’t have to announce that
Respect, loyalty & love in that order. That is a must! Love nique energy & honesty.
She’s so pure . All they can do is have an opinion about her but nothing to blame her for or harm her for. She’s speaking her mind . Not many can say that
now i understand why she has been so private b/c i am the same way. i appreciate you being vulnerable here and on your youtube channel. its like you give us just enough but those who know know that you could show us way more but we respect that everything is not for social media. this new phase you've stepped into is amazing b/c i've been a fan since omg but felt like i really didnt know too much about you but this is refreshing to get a glimpse into your personality.
She is great! This interview is great
Typical water sign.. imma Cancer. I believe she's a Pisces and her mom is a Cancer too. We don't talk about shyt but explode when it gets to be too much. Feel vulnerable when you open yourself up because people will use you against you. But we lack when it comes to relationships because of those ways.
Good job Zonnique.. I know it was uncomfortable but you did good.
Yes I’m a Pisces and I’m definitely like this always been
I always thought that bothered Zonnique. I love Tiny & T.I. But I can see how that would hurt her that Tiny was always with him. I be so happy to see Tiny do her own thing.
Wow! first time watching your Podcast. This was by far the best. I absolutely loved it! I've always loved Zonnique, she's always so humble.
Fellow Baltimorean and this was deep and so true! This was a dope interview gain so much more respect for Zonnique and you Jay! 💯
