What does a typical day look like for you?
I’m trying to implement more working out into my routine, so I get up and play basketball for a couple of hours. Later I hang out with my friends, try to eat good food. It’s a bad habit, but I eat a lot of fried seafood: catfish, shrimp, hush puppies…
Well, you are from Houston, and you have lived in New Orleans.
Yeah, but I’m trying to limit that.
What music are you listening to right now?
I’ve been listening to a lot of Cleo Sol and Marvin Gaye. I’m a pretty chill person for the most part, but rap wise, I listen to a lot of Veeze and Babyface Ray—a lot of guys from Detroit.
And what are you watching?
Empire was my show growing up, but I’m more of a movie guy. I like Queen & Slim, Gone Girl, Prisoners—those suspenseful movies.
You’ve been wearing your hair in braids for a while. Have you had a chance to try Cécred?
Yeah, my grandma tested it out on my hair before it came out. It’s really good.
How would you describe your personal style?
I wear mostly streetwear and lots of baggy stuff, but I’m starting to get into high fashion—the Dries Van Noten, the Prada tees, the Loewe jackets. I like to be comfy but still fly. I rock sweats probably five days out of the week.
They’re probably nice sweats though.
Yeah—they’re nice sweats, for sure.
