This interview was SO GOOD! I’ve watched every Durand interview I’ve come across over the last few years, and I love being able to hear Durand go in depth about his views on sexuality. I love that Toure wasn’t afraid to ask any questions and that he provided a safe space, and I love that Durand felt comfortable enough to answer transparently. This was beautiful ❤ thank you both!

[@MegaVern1]

What a great interview! Durand is a force that will continue to expand and grow!

[@markeshiaricks]

There was so much about this conversation that was lovely and healing. I absolutely love the intergenerational nature of it. They are clearly from two different generations but the respectful inquiry and correction was a master class. Well done gentlemen.

[@JazzyLnae]

I love Durand! Huge fan since his KZbin Videos. So proud of him & he deserves all the flowers ❤

[@gentlespirit4]

Fabulous interview filled with 💎 gems where they dug a wee bit deeper to discover more gems to examine. There are layers in this chat that you need a higher quality scuba suit because they're deep diving into depths of even more beautiful discoveries of who is Durand Bernarr. Loved every second of this episode! 🎙🎙🎛🎚💯🫶🏽🫶🏽 Thank you both, Toure & Durand, for this amazing chat! 🤩🤩

Proud of you Durand!

[@whoknew5940]

He is everything!

[@Nicole-fj3pt]

Love your show. Durand explained exactly how I feel about the LGBTQ. If heterosexual people don't announce what we are and don't need the worlds acceptance why do they? I don't get it. Bravo and congrats to you Durand!!

[@AbenaAnima]

The last part is so key to me ❤❤❤❤. Thank you, Durand.

[@annebell8178]

Durand, with the co-rulers of Aquarius Saturn and Uranus natally conjunct the galactic center in Sagittarius, getting interviewed by Toure, Pisces 29 degrees sun a handful of days before Pluto enters Aquarius and Neptune is dancing with his sun, I live.

[@MsBlackIntrovert]

I feel like if Durand had a cult , I would be a member. They are just so good at inspiring the spirit of “idgaf”

He already got songs with them

[@Babytritri]

20:38 IYKYK 😅😂

[@DurandbernarrTM]

I was all by myself on that part 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@dreamcometrue6708]

I wish this had been more about his music instead of his sexuality. I feel like I didn't learn that much about him as an artist / musician.

[@amakisi]

I was surprised when Durand did not mention Rahsaan Patterson.

[@hoodiehoo461]

Toure ready to risk it all for durand

[@DaniTheAlchemist33]

It means don't focus on things that have nothing to do with you .

[@patrickm8894]

The sad reality is the younger generations are not that Intersting. Sad but true.

[@covemoore4959]

Damn, are they flirting? Whats dese hunni?

[@sunshinepeace]

So Durand isn’t a millennial ?
