It's a COMPLETELY different interview when the guests are able to finish their sentences completely without N.O.R.E. interrupting. T.K. is so polished

[@darricksublet9833]

Pray for Jamie Foxx.

NORE has to learn when to enter into the conversation. He's hilarious tho. When you have a legend like TK tell stories you have to lef them tell it without interrupting.

[@bangemblack5888]

That's the main reason why I don't watch the interviews on channel because of that reason alone... he needs to relax and calm the fuck down during these interviews for real

T.K.❣️ Your truth is the MF TRUTH!!! My husband and I have been together for 26 years…since we were 19. Our love & spiritual connection has gotten us to today. But we were young and stupid and still learning how to be individuals and a union and this past couple years has been crazy. Sometimes we like each other, other times we can’t stand each other. I’ve finally arrived at the point of just being present and focusing on taking care of me; not concerning myself with how we’re gonna make it. It doesn’t matter anymore. My growth has accelerated since that pivotal moment. And I’m good with whatever this life’s journey looks like tomorrow as long as I continue to evolve and elevate. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to share. Blessings!!

[@ArtraAbraham]
