How does working out affect your mental health?
I don’t even think about mental health when I’m working out. Working out for me is just a part of my routine and I feel so high from it. I feel so good. My energy is clear, clean, crisp. It ain’t nothing like a shower and a fresh fit after the workout to start the day. It’s like a picker-upper for the day.
This is your caffeine.
It’s my caffeine. Literally, this is my caffeine. It literally boosts my high for the day. It sets me up. I just performed at Marquee last night, and made it home at 3 o’clock in the morning. You got to go to bed, shut everything off. Don’t be on your phone. I lost my other phone that has Instagram on it, so I wasn’t on the ‘Gram. So I went to sleep, and I knew that I had to wake up and work out. I didn’t make it to cycle today because I was just like, I’m going to just run a 5K. I had to make it here.
Are you on any supplements like protein, creatine?
No, I’m not on any supplements. Sometimes I’ll get a protein shake and have them add a vegan plant-based protein in it. Right now with food, it’s weird. I’m in a weird space because I fast a lot .
Like intermittent fasting?
Yeah, intermittent fast or I’ll do a couple days of fasting. I did a 25-day juice detox before.
What do you think your regular diet looks like?
I’m trying to figure it out now. I got to get the blood work done actually to see what my body needs and then I’ll be able to accurately execute the food part. But I just eat clean. Sometimes there will be times where I just go a whole month and just do plant-based stuff, like no flesh, no animal flesh. And I just do straight plants. I’ll do chickpeas or seitan or tofu or whatever the case may be.
You mostly cook for yourself?
Yeah, I cook a lot.
What’s your favorite thing to make?
I do a crazy broiled salmon. I’m crazy on the grill. I could do beef ribs. I could do everything, man. I do a good garlic rice. I season my rice. I put a little garlic in there.
What’s your relationship with alcohol? Are you a drinker?
I drank last night. I had some tequila, but it’s like I don’t drink all the time though. It hits me hard because I don’t drink. So whenever I drink, it’s like: Oh shit. All right.
Also if you drink too much, it’s hard to get into the workout groove,
Right? I’m never drinking too much though, because I’m always on point. You got to remember, I’m a rapper, so the places I’m going, you gotta be on point. You can’t be out here sloppy and drunk and stupid. So I’m out here. I’m being professional, one. And two, I’m there to provide the party. I’m working. I’m performing. I’m giving out the champagne. Y’all do your thing. I’ll have a glass or something like that, but I’m never doing too much.
