00:00We wouldn't be Essence if you didn't ask about love and relationships.
00:06Have you ever been in a serious long-term relationship?
00:11Yeah, I actually have. I was in a relationship initially when I actually, shortly after I put out my first album.
00:19I was with, I won't say names because that brings crazy attention, but we were together about two and a half years.
00:26You know, being young in the industry, it kind of shook things up for us.
00:30I've been in a couple serious relationships. I like to keep most of my private life private as much as I can of it.
00:38I think, you know, when you give your innermost kept thoughts or experiences to everybody in such a blatant form,
00:49whether it be social networking or whatever, I think it leaves so much room for it to be destroyed and broken down.
00:56Especially if you haven't established it as firm before you do so.
00:59So it's interesting and difficult to hunt for love out here, but I'm on it.
01:04You're coaching when you're always on the go.
01:05Right.
01:06So what is it like to be in a relationship with Trey Songz? Like what kind of boyfriend are you? Do you take out the garbage? Can you cook?
01:10Do I take out the garbage? I can cook. I was raised by women.
01:12Not salads and soup now.
01:13No, salad is not cooking.
01:14Okay, well you have to clarify today. How do you cook a salad?
01:16You have to clarify today.
01:17No, you don't. Not for me. I'm a jigger boy.
01:19So like you bake chicken? Let's talk about this.
01:21I can bake chicken. I can fry chicken.
01:24Alright, okay.
01:25Get you a little pot roast going, some ribs. What you want?
01:28Ladies, I hope you're listening.
01:29The steak and taters.
01:30The steak and taters.
01:31I'm a country boy.
01:32Good boy.
01:33What do you want?
