I dated a man like this. When he told me I felt so bad for him and just wanted to love him. He broke me. Not just my heart but my spirit. I’ve never been so hurt. So let down. All I tried to do was love him… y’all please love and RAISE these babies. These men. Y’all sending these broken people out into the world and their hurting us 🥺💯💔
And most of them are raised by single mothers. 🤔🤔 "I don't need no man to raise my son (or sons)," says the baby mama in 2023. I was raised by a 2-parent household. I've been married for 9 years. See the difference? And yes, I'm married to a black woman.
Unfortunately, men with these types of experiences ends up with narcissistic personalities. Therefore, without the power of Jesus Christ reforming these ppl, they will always be broken and walking around hurting ppl. Sometimes they don’t even know that they’re walking around with the demonic narcissist spirits.
I'm Thankful I grew up with aunts, uncles and grandparents.. sometimes it ain't about 2 parents it's just about the right adults always remember that, even if his dad was there that wouldn't have made things better maybe not even worse but the same, im glad I didn't grow up with mines
I was just thinking about being grateful it's sad that knowing that someone else situation is worse than yours it should give you graduated and for this I am grateful, I respect this brother 🎉 ❤
YOU ARE & WERE VERY BLESSED!!! THOSE THAT DIDN'T HAVEE THIS KNOW HOW BETTER OFF YOU ARE!!! PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR PARENTS, AND LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE THEM!!! THEY DID THEIR THING!!! BIG FACTS!!!! 🤔🙏👑💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💯
@@TrappinAnonymousExcellent interviews new to your channel 👍🏾 3rd one today. Enlightening, powerful and healing. Keep your sanity amidst this journey. ❤
I have so many thoughts on this! Great interview! This was so empowering to watch! A black man being vulnerable, speaking on his past trauma, his journey towards forgiveness and healing. I’m shook! I’m proud! I wish him all the best as he continues to recover. Warrior!
Oh please, lol black women just find him attractive. It aint got nothing to do with “Being vulnerable” if this were any other dude hed be seen as being broken, making excuses or being soft. Its only acceptable if he gets them guts precipitating.
Every time he laughed explaining something traumatic that happened to him, I cried. This interview just made me hug my babies so tight. God bless this man and thank you for your transparency ❤️
I have a lot of different trauma and I laugh as well sometimes seems to be wrong time but I new I did to help wit anxiety ect . and all from traumatic events
I love how this man is telling his entire life story and all he has been through and over come, and all yall can do is make it about yall selves instead of seeing the damage done by negligent mothers. No accountability ever
This is deep. Made me drop a tear because I know EXACTLY what this motherless child feels like. I had to stop and come back to this interview to finish. Damn.
Hear hear! I recommend a channel called..crappy childhood fairy ....has been healing tremendously for me in working through the complex childhood trauma that arises from such harrowing childhoods😢😢
He is a Chosen One. How beautiful is it to watch him live in his truth! This black man knows who he is ! God bless you Smart and I pray God continues to cover you
Him saying his mother would call him dirty & bathe, that hit home for me! Though my mother didn’t raise me, my grama did, but when I did stay with my mom some weekends, she would tell me the same. I’m a grown woman & till this day that bothers me, amongst other things she would tell me as a child. She has never apologized & never taken accountability & thinks I should be over it….every now & then I get angry but let it go, but it still hurts…I wish I could hug him! He is so well spoken & im glad he rose above it.🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
I still have rage for my mom and dad. I don't go around her or him because I want blood. I talk to God every day because of it. He saved all three of our lives.
I know how you feel. Focus on you and your happiness. Do good for others. Your hate will start to fizzle and wash away. This is your life. Your time to shine. You only get one chance and no do overs. Make it count.
I agree with the person who spoke before me. When you have time and energy, remember how you felt. Sit in that pain. Cry, write, run, beat drums, paint, draw, sing, scream… allow yourself to go back to being small and unsafe. As you keep going back there, over time… you will feel yourself grow lighter and lighter. Eventually, you may feel empathy for the child you were and for your siblings. That will soon manifest into this deep, overwhelming love for yourself because you will become reacquainted with the child within yourself. You will realize that you always deserved so much more… you still do. One day, you will likely find that this love you have for yourself is so strong and so great that it is too heavy to carry along with hate for anyone-even your parents. Every day after that, you will fill your days with beautiful, loving experiences that you always deserved but were not given by the people who were designated to give them to you when you were small and vulnerable. At least, that’s how it was for me. All Love.
@@vojo1461 It's been about a year I'm in a completely different place. My mom got sober and we are fine now. I wouldn't say it was the love for myself that made me let it go but I will say that God's love surpasses all. Amen to Him ❤️.
As a child, my father molested me for many years and the neighbor molested me once. Both were males. As a child and teen, I exposed others around my age to sexual activity just like I had been exposed. I simply could not be alone around someone my age without being sexual with them. Now, as an adult, I have self control and am careful about how I move and treat people, especially children. But I feel terrible about what I did. I’ve repented but I always thought about how my actions affected those girls and that boy and my cousin. Even though we were around the same age, many of them were innocent and what I did may have been the first experience they had. I’m sorry that he went through this and I hope more women can be exposed and charged for abusing their children.
Forgive yourself, none of that is your fault, children are not responsible for their actions especially if it's being influenced by ongoing abuse. If you haven't already, please speak with a therapist to help you work through it. Don't do this alone.
I went through something similar by a neighbor . I had to forgive myself and ask God forgiveness that's all you can do. I work with children and have children of my own and I wouldn't think twice to do anything to them EVER. We can't help the things we did as a child and I had to accept that because I really beat myself down for a long time so I know 🫶🏿
This man appears to have done the work.Everything he said is absolutely spot on.I think he would be a phenomenal motivational speaker,role model or perhaps social worker.I wish him total healing & many blessings in life.
Smart isn’t the only person that’s gone through this with their moms. Black mothers have systematically passed on trauma to their children,many of us were abused and abandoned by our mothers. We are always so quick to throw the fathers under the bus but if we all take time to analyze our mothers so much will be revealed.
No. Their fathers need to be present and held accountable. That. “Single mother guilt trip” is old and tired. No it doesn’t make all mothers right. Men by majority have not done anything but continue to make it worse since the seventies. And still complaining today without action. I applaud this Man for looking within and addressing and making himself whole. He doesn’t have children or a wife so he is holding himself accountable. Valor❤
@@BlkOnyx0508 Well said!! I too, was a single mother of 2 daughters because my husband turned to drugs. I worked VERY hard to provide and, get them most of what they wanted. I had troubles with the Oldest daughter for quite a few years, but I kept to my morals and I loved her unconditionally 💞💯. I made sure she ALWAYS knew that, but there was certain behaviors I wouldn't tolerate. Their dad, hasn't physically seen them in 17 yrs. He calls them once in a while, sends them guilt money when they beg. I dated 2 fellows after the divorce and remained single, thereafter. Oldest daughter is almost 40 & I have a 21 yr old grandson with her. Both my daughters have AMAZING careers and are hard workers, whom any employer would be grateful to hire. My husband was a REALLY GOOD spouse, and father, untill he got introduced to crack, 17 yrs into our marriage. It truly was a sad ending. So as a single mother and person.... You have a responsibility to our children FIRST!!
I have so many things to say about this young man but I really loved the part when the interviewer said “You always had a light on you”!! He is still letting his light shine even through the hurt pain betrayal n abuse. What an inspiration to all of us!!! God bless him.
Those mother-father wounds are deep. I went through the same. No father and neglected by my mother I searched for love in all the wrong places. It put me in some really unsafe situations and by the grace of GOD I'm here, no stds or untreatable diseases and still healing every day. Sadly I'm a single mother of 4 under some shitty circumstances but everyday I live to provide for my babies what I didn't. Not material things but live, acceptance, attention, understanding and so much more! Love them to life!!!
Facts n yep we can't pick our family but walking away can be closure to. I don't think I'd have any relationship with mine if they had done those things he did nothing wrong he was an innocent boy. And the moma shoulda never been able to raise a fish much less a child . This interview was so powerful!!
Yeah my mother makes me feel the same way. Every time I try to talk to her about my childhood she’s just so detached n removed from walking away from all four of her small children(I was 10, my sister was 8, my other sister was 5, and brother 8 months to a year old) and leave us with our father. She has no remorse. She was smoking crack over us n I was raising her children since age 7. I’m 45 years old today and she still has no remorse or apologies for me or my siblings. I stay away from her as much as possible but that inner child still craves her mother. I wholeheartedly feel his pain. It’s fucked up when your own mother doesn’t want you! How the hell do you ever think that anyone else will want you. Yes I was raised by a single father but even that was traumatizing. Not cuz of my dad, but his family hated us. Cuz they never liked our mother. It was hell!
Known this man 20 years, he knows my intentions. It was important to be callous so that our friendship didn’t convolute his message. We joke around alot 😂
This is one of the most, if not the most intriguing interviews I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. I’ve watched several of Smart’s interviews, but you knocked it out of the park
This interview of this man's life touched me. Mother's don't realize how their actions effect the men of this world. Proud he decided to speak his truth and found ways to heal.
Chris is so handsome 🤗 This conversation was very stimulating intellectually and emotionally. As a fatherless daughter who searched for fatherly love in people, I understand this guy whole heartedly. His experiences shaped him beautifully… regardless. ❤
Great interview, very strong and resilient young man, he is very aware and that's a fact, he always has a enormous amount of energy im glad he is channeling it with honesty and has a physical outlet
I remember him, he still look the same still handsome. I always wondered what happened to him and it’s so crazy to watch him now speaking about what was happening to him as child. Ppl use to say he was crazy but as children you never know whats going behind the scene at home. Im so proud of him!
He’s GOD gifted….. but also crazy. I can discern in his speaking and body language. MUCH healing and deliverance is needed here. 🙌🏽Jesus help and heal YOUR SON❤
"I thought my assets were liabilities and my strengths were my weaknesses". Let that sink in. His take on his life and events and more importantly how they affected his life, both over time as well as throughout stages of growing up, is really impressive. What an amazing mind. Id love to know him.
This interview is reminiscent of my childhood. I overcame a lot in my life. Just like him, I had to find a deeper meaning for the trials in my life. This brother interview touched me deeply.
I love this interviewers patience and calm demeanor, he allows the guest to speak freely and does not interrupt. I've heard bits and pieces of Smart story before, I must say I really enjoyed the vulnerability even when it got a little uncomfortable for him.
Phew, this interview hit differently ! I’ve watched it a few times now…he’s so so eloquent. Thank you so much for sharing your unique and intelligent insights . And to think that there’s woman out here crying out for a child and then there’s mothers out there like his “mother”. This young man has a brilliant mind..all the best to him.
This is literally alchemy he turned his bad experience to good with his knowledge he obtained I applaud your growth and pray in your power keep shining your light they could never dim it!
I so needed that laugh at Jackie Scene 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you. You are a wonderful human being! I'm sorry you lived through what you have. I REALLY appreciate hearing from your life experiences, mixed with humor 😀.
30:50 you did indeed have angels around you. I love you and dont even know you. We need men like you in our community. Women like me really out here starving for leaders like you. Blessings king❤❤❤
I loved smart guy because of his music and how great he is at it but hearing his upbringing has me so heartbroken but I'm glad he prevailed and sharing his story. It can help so many adults and children watching this. He's very intelligent and extremely wise. I can listen to him speak all day. I can't wait for his Ted talks
I just wanna hug him❤his mother failing him😢our children deserve the very best from their parents.Heal people so your kids could never feel the hurt and pain of your past.
Thank you for being brave and speaking up. People wouldn’t even think that you went through that stuff as habdsome as you are. People never see what happens or happened behind the scenes. Thanks again King
I have (4) From 24yr to 5yrs old boys! I Thank God for my strength and sanity. I love everyday knowing that im not only being the mother I dreamed of having and knowing I was worthy of having but also im the mother my older brother missed out on having. Hugs and Strength sent your way
I got into a passionate argument with my son's grandfather because he said I hug and hold my son too much. Now, gma made sure to instill them values in me of respecting my elders so I kept my thoughts to myself. But to his son, I'm always so quick to say to him I wish your parents would of hugged you a little more. I WANT my sons to know their mother love them. I DESIRE to be able to love my sons enough so that they don't have to look for mommy's love nowhere else. Chasing that absent parents love is never ending. Especially if you never fully experienced it before, it have you missing something you never had. And how does that work, right.
New Subscriber love your content bringing awareness, real and raw , giving ppl a safe space to be vulnerable, that can be an asset in their healing journey just to be able to speak to be seen and heard. Blessings, elevation, and light 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
My heart is 💔. He's speaking his above the style of rapping. Talking yet sooooo creative. Brutal honesty through being brutalized. He's so handsome, highly intelligent, resilient, and above all BLESSED ❤
He has too much wisdom for the music & movie industry. He'd never settle for that. His purpose is much bigger than movies. You must not know his journey or what he stands for.
This is the 1st time I watched a channels interviews THREE DAYS IN A ROW. Found your channel 3 days ago. Keep on giving all these souls a platform to get their stories off of their chest to raise awareness and education! Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱❤
It’s so sad what he went through with his mother. It’s a reminded me love my child even more ❤️I love my baby boy so much and it’s heart breaking his mother couldn’t show him the unconditional love that ever child deserves. He didn’t ask to be here. Nobody does, but he definitely don’t deserve to be punished for it.
How you think creates how you feel, how you feel becomes an emotion, an emotion becomes a vibration that vibration becomes a magnetic that attracts things to you ~ Smart
Absolutely incredible interview 💯 GOD continue to bless this young man listening to him I hear DMX coming through 🙏🏽 we all have a testimony some just had it harder than others so many men keep so much bottled in because they don't want to appear weak. But being vulnerable is the hardest, bravest thing a man can do 🙏🏽
I’m only 10 minutes into this interview and I am heartbroken for this young man. “A motherless child 🥷🏾” those words he just spit - I felt that. I raised a black son into a black man and did the best I could! Sad to hear a boy talk about his childhood trauma being his mother because I could never do that to my son! We are supposed to protect our boys(kids)! I wouldn’t even date while raising my son! And even if I did bring a guy around I would never tell my son to call them Dad like wtf! My personal life was separated from my motherhood life,,, And I Thank God that I was mature enough to know that at a young age! However, I went through tough times too as a child and knew not to do some things when I became a mom. How could you as a parent hurt your own child! 💔🥹 I was a teen mom! And still knew not to harm my child despite what I’ve been through as a child! Damn this is hard to watch… smh
This one broke me… I was ballin 😭 but it was freeing. As a grown woman, also a survivor of M word as a child. And R. Word and understanding EVERYTHING this man said and more. NO WORDS!!! This man is BLESSED. I AM GOING TO FOR SURE GOING TO BE INTUNE WITH HIM MORE NOW. I LOVE HIM
I was obsessed ❤ with this guy and couldn’t stop watching his interviews last year! He has such a handle on understanding and explaining the dysfunction he endured and its effect on his life. I think he’s well spoken and I respect his being able to be vulnerable. That’s tough for a lot of us. I like how the interviewer is allowing him to speak and not over talking him (like many have done). I love the interviewer’s empathy and how he’s seemingly right there with Smart in his story. You can see it excite him too. Much love to the interviewer!
Please follow @trappinanonymous on Instagram and DM if you have a story that needs to be told.
I dated a man like this. When he told me I felt so bad for him and just wanted to love him. He broke me. Not just my heart but my spirit. I’ve never been so hurt. So let down. All I tried to do was love him… y’all please love and RAISE these babies. These men. Y’all sending these broken people out into the world and their hurting us 🥺💯💔
And most of them are raised by single mothers. 🤔🤔 "I don't need no man to raise my son (or sons)," says the baby mama in 2023. I was raised by a 2-parent household. I've been married for 9 years. See the difference? And yes, I'm married to a black woman.
He must not have gotten to the point of loving himself yet. I hope you healed & found the love you require ❤
Unfortunately, men with these types of experiences ends up with narcissistic personalities. Therefore, without the power of Jesus Christ reforming these ppl, they will always be broken and walking around hurting ppl. Sometimes they don’t even know that they’re walking around with the demonic narcissist spirits.
You should have left him from the time he told you his story. It literally be A BIG RED FLAG
@@b.freeman2118 I thought I could help him. I learned. Never ever again.
As a grown man, I didn’t realize how blessed I am to be raised in a 2-parent non drug and alcohol household. Prayers to all..

As a grown woman, I too am so blessed to be raised by 2 amazing people in a 2 parent household.
This was amazing
YOU ARE & WERE VERY BLESSED!!! THOSE THAT DIDN'T HAVEE THIS KNOW HOW BETTER OFF YOU ARE!!! PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR PARENTS, AND LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE THEM!!! THEY DID THEIR THING!!! BIG FACTS!!!! 🤔🙏👑💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💯
Just want to say that a boy being molested by a woman is only seen as 'cool' by other men. Most normal women find that disgusting and abhorrent.
Facts
💯💯💯
On point
💯
And it’s cool but those men that are sick or were molested themselves
The only thing that stops me from crying when I hear him speak is knowing that he overcame his past. All glory to God ❤
Amen
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME FROM SCREAMING CRYING IS BECAUSE HE'S VICTORIOUS THRU IT ALL... STILL SHAKING IN MY BOOTS FOR HIM🤯🤯🤯😢😢😢
THE POETRY oh man. This man spits his pain like a poem it’s so beautiful and sad. I hope he heals
Shoutout for the interviewer for letting him talk until he was able to get his complete thought out and asking TOUGH questions
Thank you family!

That c section even in birth she didn’t push me 🤯 crazy
sheesh
He said he wished he was giving birth by another woman. It is his way of coping, probably not knowing why c sections are sometimes needed.
Man he had a hard upbringing ... it's a blessing he's even able to articulate what happened to him.

It put me in some really unsafe situations and by the grace of GOD I'm here, no stds or untreatable diseases and still healing every day. Sadly I'm a single mother of 4 under some shitty circumstances but everyday I live to provide for my babies what I didn't. Not material things but live, acceptance, attention, understanding and so much more! Love them to life!!!
I really feel for him. He laughing but he still feel hurt by those people. They’re disgusting
Absolutely
Facts n yep we can't pick our family but walking away can be closure to. I don't think I'd have any relationship with mine if they had done those things he did nothing wrong he was an innocent boy. And the moma shoulda never been able to raise a fish much less a child . This interview was so powerful!!
A lion 🦁 cries different than a sheep 🐑
Yeah my mother makes me feel the same way. Every time I try to talk to her about my childhood she’s just so detached n removed from walking away from all four of her small children(I was 10, my sister was 8, my other sister was 5, and brother 8 months to a year old) and leave us with our father. She has no remorse. She was smoking crack over us n I was raising her children since age 7. I’m 45 years old today and she still has no remorse or apologies for me or my siblings. I stay away from her as much as possible but that inner child still craves her mother. I wholeheartedly feel his pain. It’s fucked up when your own mother doesn’t want you! How the hell do you ever think that anyone else will want you. Yes I was raised by a single father but even that was traumatizing. Not cuz of my dad, but his family hated us. Cuz they never liked our mother. It was hell!

This guy is amazing!!! Certain questions were no compassion no need to exploit… he is our brother ❤
Known this man 20 years, he knows my intentions. It was important to be callous so that our friendship didn’t convolute his message. We joke around alot 😂
This is one of the most, if not the most intriguing interviews I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. I’ve watched several of Smart’s interviews, but you knocked it out of the park
This interview of this man's life touched me. Mother's don't realize how their actions effect the men of this world. Proud he decided to speak his truth and found ways to heal.
Chris is so handsome 🤗 This conversation was very stimulating intellectually and emotionally. As a fatherless daughter who searched for fatherly love in people, I understand this guy whole heartedly. His experiences shaped him beautifully… regardless. ❤
Same❤
So true.
Pain can make you or break you. S/o to smart for growing through everything he want through 🤲🏽
Officially love him, going to start listening to more of his interviews
Yes yes
Great interview, very strong and resilient young man, he is very aware and that's a fact, he always has a enormous amount of energy im glad he is channeling it with honesty and has a physical outlet
I remember him, he still look the same still handsome. I always wondered what happened to him and it’s so crazy to watch him now speaking about what was happening to him as child. Ppl use to say he was crazy but as children you never know whats going behind the scene at home. Im so proud of him!
Wow did you grow up with him? Are you from his neighborhood?
He’s GOD gifted….. but also crazy. I can discern in his speaking and body language. MUCH healing and deliverance is needed here. 🙌🏽Jesus help and heal YOUR SON❤
Especially the part when he said when he spit on his mother and if she moved he would’ve 🔪🩸 her
We all are a little bit crazy. But your opinion is just that.... Objective. Peace and Blessings.
I don't think he's crazy at all.
"I thought my assets were liabilities and my strengths were my weaknesses".
Let that sink in.
His take on his life and events and more importantly how they affected his life, both over time as well as throughout stages of growing up, is really impressive. What an amazing mind.
Id love to know him.
This interview is reminiscent of my childhood. I overcame a lot in my life. Just like him, I had to find a deeper meaning for the trials in my life. This brother interview touched me deeply.
I love this interviewers patience and calm demeanor, he allows the guest to speak freely and does not interrupt. I've heard bits and pieces of Smart story before, I must say I really enjoyed the vulnerability even when it got a little uncomfortable for him.
I just found your channel yesterday & i am so glad i did. Thank you for takin the time to listen to them & let them tell their stories. God bless 🙏
Whew this was heavy. It’s a blessing this young man can smile. ✨🙏🏽
Phew, this interview hit differently ! I’ve watched it a few times now…he’s so so eloquent.
Thank you so much for sharing your unique and intelligent insights
. And to think that there’s woman out here crying out for a child and then there’s mothers out there like his “mother”. This young man has a brilliant mind..all the best to him.
Great interview. I hope he continues to heal and get the love he needs. I love how honest and real he's being.
This is literally alchemy he turned his bad experience to good with his knowledge he obtained I applaud your growth and pray in your power keep shining your light they could never dim it!
Love this interview, and the interviewer did an amazing job🔥🔥
Thank u for that
He let S.G talk🎉🎉

I so needed that laugh at Jackie Scene 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you. You are a wonderful human being! I'm sorry you lived through what you have. I REALLY appreciate hearing from your life experiences, mixed with humor 😀.
This interview was powerful! I am beyond proud of this man❤ may he continue on his journey of healing and blessings.

🖤
This. We need this so badly and it feels like we just sitting here praying they'll show up
This Brother right here........I have no words. 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Thanks for sharing your story! ❤️ Thanks for interviewing him! ❤️
My dude he so mentally inspiring when I first heard him I was blown away 🗽🗽smart is a beast 🥊 keep going 👑 KING
I loved smart guy because of his music and how great he is at it but hearing his upbringing has me so heartbroken but I'm glad he prevailed and sharing his story. It can help so many adults and children watching this. He's very intelligent and extremely wise. I can listen to him speak all day. I can't wait for his Ted talks
💯💯
I cried but other kids may see this and begin to recognize abuse and seek help god bless us all
I just wanna hug him❤his mother failing him😢our children deserve the very best from their parents.Heal people so your kids could never feel the hurt and pain of your past.
The 80’s really messed up a lot of parents
Oh hell yea
the crack man , my brother is a victim
Great interview! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for being brave and speaking up. People wouldn’t even think that you went through that stuff as habdsome as you are. People never see what happens or happened behind the scenes. Thanks again King
You’re next.
I have (4) From 24yr to 5yrs old boys! I Thank God for my strength and sanity. I love everyday knowing that im not only being the mother I dreamed of having and knowing I was worthy of having but also im the mother my older brother missed out on having. Hugs and Strength sent your way
I got into a passionate argument with my son's grandfather because he said I hug and hold my son too much. Now, gma made sure to instill them values in me of respecting my elders so I kept my thoughts to myself. But to his son, I'm always so quick to say to him I wish your parents would of hugged you a little more. I WANT my sons to know their mother love them. I DESIRE to be able to love my sons enough so that they don't have to look for mommy's love nowhere else. Chasing that absent parents love is never ending. Especially if you never fully experienced it before, it have you missing something you never had. And how does that work, right.
One of the best interviews. Very educational ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
🖤
New Subscriber love your content bringing awareness, real and raw , giving ppl a safe space to be vulnerable, that can be an asset in their healing journey just to be able to speak to be seen and heard. Blessings, elevation, and light 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We need more honest stand up men like him❤❤ his honesty is touching ❤❤❤
My heart is 💔. He's speaking his above the style of rapping. Talking yet sooooo creative. Brutal honesty through being brutalized. He's so handsome, highly intelligent, resilient, and above all BLESSED ❤
This man is very special. He has a calling. Im so glad that he's brave enough to open up about what he went through. What is his name
Who is this Man, he needs to be in somebody movie! I would definitely love to see more of this Guy. He is larger than life!!
He has too much wisdom for the music & movie industry. He'd never settle for that. His purpose is much bigger than movies. You must not know his journey or what he stands for.
Please put out part 2.🔥🔥🔥🔥.. I love Smart🖤🖤🖤 such a real intelligent one✊🏾✊🏾
Got u
So smart!!!
Laughing is therapy for some!!!😢
Omg i can listen to this black man ALL day! So gifted
This is the 1st time I watched a channels interviews THREE DAYS IN A ROW. Found your channel 3 days ago. Keep on giving all these souls a platform to get their stories off of their chest to raise awareness and education! Love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱❤
The laughing through pain not because it’s funny but because it’s like wtf is real and it really helps
Facts
He is an amazing speaker. Very charismatic.
He's so right it was the grace of GOD that made him the man that he is today🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🥰
This is a great interview! I respect him so much more for the strength to be able to go so deep and also understand his process.
It’s so sad what he went through with his mother. It’s a reminded me love my child even more ❤️I love my baby boy so much and it’s heart breaking his mother couldn’t show him the unconditional love that ever child deserves. He didn’t ask to be here. Nobody does, but he definitely don’t deserve to be punished for it.
That’s how I feel after watching this interview. I want to make sure my son always knows he’s loved . We got this queen ❤
@@CookWithStephh yes we do Queen❤️💪🏾
He so articúlate and thinks before just talking or answering the questions .. like he really worked on himself a lot throughout the years
How you think creates how you feel, how you feel becomes an emotion, an emotion becomes a vibration that vibration becomes a magnetic that attracts things to you ~ Smart
Smart, Peace Young Brother. Thanks for sharing...
this so intense and so raw 🔥 you have the rawest content 💯
Thanks Lyn! That’s a really great compliment!!!!
Powerful words and the way he expresses them
Absolutely incredible interview 💯 GOD continue to bless this young man listening to him I hear DMX coming through 🙏🏽 we all have a testimony some just had it harder than others so many men keep so much bottled in because they don't want to appear weak. But being vulnerable is the hardest, bravest thing a man can do 🙏🏽
Insightful beyond his years and more accepting of his faults and actions at his age then some people have in their lifetime.
I’m only 10 minutes into this interview and I am heartbroken for this young man. “A motherless child 🥷🏾” those words he just spit - I felt that. I raised a black son into a black man and did the best I could! Sad to hear a boy talk about his childhood trauma being his mother because I could never do that to my son! We are supposed to protect our boys(kids)! I wouldn’t even date while raising my son! And even if I did bring a guy around I would never tell my son to call them Dad like wtf! My personal life was separated from my motherhood life,,, And I Thank God that I was mature enough to know that at a young age! However, I went through tough times too as a child and knew not to do some things when I became a mom. How could you as a parent hurt your own child! 💔🥹 I was a teen mom! And still knew not to harm my child despite what I’ve been through as a child! Damn this is hard to watch… smh
I love how he speaks this is so sad and it happens alot too many times
Interviewer face expression is just a million words man I’m praying for this man frfr
always
So powerful, my husband went through this, this story was very informative; for me to help my husband when he's confused, hurting and angry.
This one broke me… I was ballin 😭 but it was freeing. As a grown woman, also a survivor of M word as a child. And R. Word and understanding EVERYTHING this man said and more. NO WORDS!!! This man is BLESSED. I AM GOING TO FOR SURE GOING TO BE INTUNE WITH HIM MORE NOW. I LOVE HIM
🎉❤
I was obsessed ❤ with this guy and couldn’t stop watching his interviews last year! He has such a handle on understanding and explaining the dysfunction he endured and its effect on his life. I think he’s well spoken and I respect his being able to be vulnerable. That’s tough for a lot of us. I like how the interviewer is allowing him to speak and not over talking him (like many have done). I love the interviewer’s empathy and how he’s seemingly right there with Smart in his story. You can see it excite him too. Much love to the interviewer!
