-
Come on, let's go.
-
My biggest problem in life was overcomin' myself.
-
But once I defeated myself,
-
the only thing left was peace.
-

-
- [Host] All right Kevin, we are here
-
to see your fridge and then check out your gym.
-
You ready?
-
Let's go.
-
- Before I open my fridge,
-
I'm a tell you this one thing
-
I am human.
-
I am not perfect.
-
Please don't judge me. (laughs)
-
Don't judge me, please 'cause I don't judge.
-
Check it out.
-
Let's get the hard stuff out the way first.
-
I do drink Pepsi.
-
I drink a Pepsi, like, maybe once a week
-
or somethin' like that.
-
That's my reward.
-
That's my cheat.
-
The most important thing, if you dealin' with somebody
-
and your partner has a high, high sex drive,
-
sex can feel draining at times.
-
So, if you feel drained after havin' sex,
-
always drink you some coconut water right afterwards.
-
And the coconut water has a lotta electrolytes in it.
-
Charge!
-
You back in the building.
-
- [Host] Do you take any protein?
-
- I take this.
-
It's called BeLean.
-
It leans you out, and it's also a pre-workout.
-
I tried a lot of other pre-workouts,
-
and I don't like those pre-workouts
-
that give me the jitters.
-
They make me feel like my face,
-
I feel like Tony Montana.
-
I don't like to feel like that.
-
- [Host] So what do you eat after a performance?
-
- Me being Muslim, I only eat one meal a day.
-
So my one meal a day, I guess you others
-
would call it intermittent fasting.
-
My one meal a day may be a steak.
-
Sometimes it just may be a veggie bowl.
-
It just depends on how I feel.
-
- [Host] What time do you usually eat?
-
- It depends.
-
It depends on when I get finished with work.
-
Because I'm an artist, I can't go
-
in the studio on a full stomach.
-
I like to be hungry.
-
I like the music to reflect my hunger
-
'cause I'm hungry for this shit.
-
I want this shit.
-
- [Host] I see you got a lot of mangoes.
-
- I'm a tell you, I don't want to just get
-
that sexually explicit.
-
But with the mangoes I practice eating pussy.
-
What you want to do is,
-
you want to see if you could pull those
-
microfibers off with just your teeth.
-
You want to tease.
-
And if you could tease,
-
they call that teasing a peach.
-
If you can tease a peach, you can give a woman pleasure.
-
I drink milk thistle.
-
It detox the kidneys.
-
I stopped takin' fish oil.
-
I take C buckthorn now.
-
And what C buckthorn is, it lubricates the joints.
-
It's like an omega.
-
And I noticed it worked better than fish oil for me.
-
I mean, whatever you use for your body, that's what's up.
-
I could just give you my diet.
-
- [Host] Do you eat dairy?
-
- I used to love cow's milk
-
until I discovered oat milk.
-
I noticed that whenever I would drink a lotta milk,
-
like cow's milk, my body would have a lot of mucus.
-
And I don't like mucus.
-
It's gross to me.
-
- [Host] You've had a long journey into fitness.
-
How were you able to successfully change your diet?
-
- I wanted more for myself.
-
I wanted it.
-
I got tired of being the fat guy in the room.
-
I got tired of being a fat slob.
-
I got tired of every time somebody take their shirt off,
-
I make an excuse why I don't think its cool
-
to take your shirt off.
-
I think it's fly.
-
'Cause it's one thing about sayin' that you're disciplined.
-
But when you see somebody who got a nice body,
-
it shows that you're disciplined.
-
So I like actions.
-
What I utter with my mouth,
-
I feel like my actions should prove.
-
So, like I said, I'm not where I want to be yet.
-
But, hey, I'm damn sure gonna get there.
-
♪ I'm the greatest ♪
-
(dramatic hiphop music)
-
♪ Oh, oh ♪
-
♪ Oh, yeah, oh ♪
-
♪ I'm the greatest ♪
-
- [Host] All right, Kev, where are we?
-
- I come to the magic mountain
-
every time I get a chance.
-
I love it up here.
-
- [Host] Is this your cardio?
-
- Well, no this isn't my cardio.
-
I look at this as my healing.
-
Like, this is post-workout for me.
-
This is just something I like to do.
-
I'm a outside person.
-
I'm a nature lover.
-
So I do this everyday, everyday that I can.
-
- [Host] Do you have a music playlist you listen to?
-
- I'm not doing it today,
-
but usually I have my headphones on.
-
And I'll listen at whatever production
-
that I like at the time.
-
And I walk up magic mountain,
-
and I get magical ideas,
-
and I go record it in the studio.
-
- [Host] How long does it take you to get to the top?
-
- Maybe ten minutes for me.
-
But it takes, like, a little longer
-
'cause once I get to the top of the mountain,
-
I like to stand on the of the mountain
-
and flex just be like, "I'm the King of the world!"
-
I am Muhammad Ali!
-
You know I like to get up there.
-
So it may take a little longer
-
'cause sometimes I like to bask in my own glory.
-
- [Host] Do you take any fitness classes?
-
- I don't even talk about this,
-
but I'm going to say it with y'all.
-
I'm a share it with y'all.
-
When I was in the penitentiary,
-
my celly used to always tell me,
-
"Hey let's go do yoga.
-
"Let's go do yoga."
-
I'm like, "Man, yoga is for pussies
-
"I never want to do yoga."
-
I have a different respect for yoga now.
-
I look at yoga like a journey.
-
And I'm still in the beginning stage of my journey.
-
But I love yoga.
-
(mellow hiphop music)
-
- [Host] What was the inspiration
-
behind your hit song "Push It?"
-
- The inspiration behind "Push It" was a lot of times
-
in life we are our biggest challenges.
-
We stand in our own way.
-
And for the longest, I've always stood in my own way,
-
whether it been from my insecurities
-
or me bein' too sensitive to certain situations
-
or me bein' selfish and wantin' things to go my way
-
and not learnin' how to coexist with things.
-
And with he song "Push It," it was me pushin'
-
all of those things to the side.
-
Pushin' through all the hurt.
-
Pushin' through all the depression
-
and really tryin' to become the best version
-
of me that I could ever become.
-
And, like I say, the beautiful thing
-
about having body dysmorphia is
-
you could never see yourself as perfect.
-
So I don't even allow myself to get depressed about that.
-
I just work hard.
-
I'm Muhammad Ali!
-
I'm the king of the world! (laughs)
-
Mighty.
-
(upbeat hiphop music)
-
Yeah, I just finished walking on magic mountain.
-
And it was (growls) very, very, very.
-
I just feel like I did something.
-
It was good.
-
But anyway, long story short.
-
Usually I get up at 2:00 a.m. in the morning.
-
And that's when I go do
-
I guess some weight training.
-
I do my pull ups.
-
I do my core exercises.
-
Light days I do calisthenics, like garage calisthenics,
-
such as pull ups, push ups, dips.
-
I like that, it just keep me tight and right.
-
Follow me.
-
- [Host] All right, now it's time
-
for our rapid fire questions.
-
7:00 a.m. workout or 7:00 p.m. workout?
-
- I prefer a 2:00 a.m. workout.
-
- [Host] Squat or deadlift?
-
- Both.
-
- [Host] Favorite song on your playlist?
-
- "Push It."
-
- [Host] Cross fit, yea or nay?
-
- Uh, yes.
-
I'm doin' cross fit now.
-
- [Host] Pull ups or chin ups?
-
- Both.
-
- [Host] Cardio or weights?
-
- Both, uh, cardio.
-
- [Host] Big legs or big arms?
-
- Neither.
-
I wanna be proportioned.
-
- [Host] Biggest compliment?
-
Jacked, ripped, swole, or cut?
-
- I'm cut like that.
-
- [Host] If you could work out with anyone in the world,
-
dead or alive, who would it be?
-
- Muhammad Ali, of course, silly.
-
Hey, look, I gotta get on with my day.
-
It was great havin' you.
-
But now I need you the leave.
-
Before you can't leave.
