00:00 What does it mean to you to be here tonight
00:01 and celebrate this wonderful cause
00:03 and of course Jay-Z and his mom's foundation?
00:05 - Yeah, I mean it's so amazing to be here,
00:07 20th anniversary, so I think it's a very special occasion.
00:10 I'm very honored to be invited and to be a part of it
00:13 and I think it's gonna be a great night.
00:14 - Yeah, well and you have been very open,
00:16 especially in this, we saw on Stars on Mars,
00:19 about just your support for marginalized communities,
00:23 LGBTQ community, and you've gotten
00:25 so much incredible feedback.
00:26 Can you tell me a little bit about
00:28 that probably difficult conversation
00:30 that you had on camera and the conversations
00:32 that have started since?
00:33 - Yeah, I mean I think it's just so important
00:35 to always make sure that you speak up for
00:37 communities that maybe aren't represented in the room.
00:40 So when I was given the opportunity
00:41 to kind of stand up for somebody
00:43 who wasn't able to voice their own opinion
00:45 or kind of present their own perspective,
00:47 I thought that that was really important to share
00:49 and I think it's great to continue
00:50 to have these discussions and stand up
00:52 for marginalized communities, queer people,
00:55 black people, LGBTQ+, all of it.
00:57 - Totally.
00:58 Now you recently also opened up about how
01:00 Janet Jackson, Beyonce, some of your biggest inspirations.
01:04 Tell me a little bit about just, I mean,
01:06 tonight being Jay-Z, Beyonce,
01:08 are you gonna see Bay's show?
01:10 - Oh yeah, yeah, of course.
01:12 I definitely am gonna see the show.
01:13 I don't know when, but I will see it,
01:14 like without a doubt. - Gosh, I'm down to too.
01:15 - I'm dying to. - And Blue Ivy up there too.
01:17 - Yes, I met her last night.
01:19 She is so sweet and so cute.
01:21 I love that. - Yeah, it's just amazing.
01:23 I love all of them.
01:24 I'm just so happy to be here and be invited
01:26 and be in the presence of greatness.
01:27 - Amazing, well so good to talk to you.
