00:11 During an appearance on Tuesday's episode of Tamron Hall, the 31-year-old YouTuber opened up about how he is processing the loss of his longtime partner,
00:21 admitting he scared himself while dealing with Jackie's sudden death.
00:25 And that was the only way that I could have even dealt with the queen of my children.
00:30 So when that happened, I was like, okay, I done been through this before.
00:35 All right, I know not to act like that, because, woo, that was, I scared myself.
00:40 You mean you've been through so much loss.
00:41 I done been through so much loss, what it's like emotionally, like I'm numb to death,
00:46 because I'm used to it since 16. So every death is a different reaction.
00:52 So when my cousin, I was angry. When my father died, I was at peace.
00:57 When my best friend died, I was confused. Now, when my girl died, I'm shocked, and who is this for?
01:07 See what I'm saying? Okay, now.
01:12 Who is this for?
01:13 Who is this for?
01:14 Who is this for?
01:15 Who is this for? Who do I have to talk to?
01:19 Because this not only affects me, it affects my children.
01:22 They have went through something that I ain't even been through.

01:35 Part of the grieving process, still I don't know to this day, because I'm learning.
01:39 Six months in, this is a forever thing.
01:42 So I may feel differently in two years, I may feel differently in 10,
01:47 but I'm just thankful that God allowed me to continue.
01:50 You know what I'm saying?
01:50 (AUDIENCE APPLAUDS)
01:51 All right.
01:52 And I understand my calling and I understand my purpose.
01:58 What is the calling?
01:59 The calling is, you know, I'm put here on this earth for a higher purpose,
02:06 which is to entertain the world, but also show the world where it's coming from.
02:13 You know, it's coming from the most high.
02:15 And I'm an example because now you got to see me go through trauma
02:20 and still continue with my job.
02:22 And I appreciate people like y'all because God brings people to me
02:29 who need to hear what I got to say.

04:40 So we all felt the effect of it and like are still feeling the effect."
