00:00So, I don't know who's more beautiful in this shot.
00:02There are so many beautiful women,
00:04including your daughter.
00:06She wins, she wins.
00:08I mean, and I'm so excited for you right now,
00:09because I don't know if you know this or not,
00:11Victoria already put y'all's business out.
00:13There is some songs coming,
00:14so tell me about working with Victoria Monáe.
00:16She's a dream, honestly.
00:17Incredible songwriter, incredible artist,
00:19incredible person, beautiful person.
00:21I think she's, I've always thought
00:22she was the greatest artist ever,
00:23so yeah, we got some stuff.
00:26And I mean, speaking of your adorable plus one today,
00:29you have expressed so many times
00:31how much motherhood has meant to you.
00:32How does it feel to kind of show her in person,
00:35like, being the role model that you are, basically?
00:38It's incredible, honestly.
00:39I mean, what's cooler to me is that,
00:41technically, she worked for this moment.
00:42Like, she sang on the album, she's got the nomination.
00:45She doesn't really have any clue what that means,
00:47but she gets to look back and see that she did it herself.
00:50She wasn't my plus one.
00:51She was, she's here.
00:52You're a Grammy-nominated artist, it's true, it's true.
00:55I'm just happy for her.
00:55She gets to look back and think this is cool one day.
00:57Wow.
00:58And as a mom, how do you teach her
01:00how to block things out and be positive?
01:02Because obviously, you know,
01:03people always want to talk online about you.
01:04How do you handle that trouble?
01:06I just focus on my art.
01:08I think one thing about it is art will always be there.
01:10It's always the way I get to tell my side and my story
01:12and keep myself present in a way where, like,
01:16people can see who I really am
01:17and people will always have things to say.
01:19People will never actually know me unless they know me,
01:22so the only way that I can get anybody to know me,
01:24even a little bit, is through my music,
01:26and I just try to keep my focus there.
01:27Yeah, and your music is always really vulnerable
01:30and really personal.
01:32With this new album, with the Grammys,
01:34being here with your daughter,
01:35if you could go back and tell your younger self something,
01:38what would it be?
01:39I think just, you're gonna do a lot of cool things one day
01:42and it's gonna be real crazy.
01:44Just stay focused and hold on tight and stay grounded
01:47and trust God above everything.
01:49Okay, and lastly, cheats or eagles?
01:52Ooh, football.
01:53Oh!
01:54That's how I feel too, don't worry about it.
01:56Same, same.
01:57Touchdown, go!
01:58Let's go!
01:59Ooh, I'm so excited.
02:01Oh, Kendrick!
