Drew: This is such a rich subject for me right now because I am trying to make a turning point. I’m at a tipping point I believe in my life, is that something that you have to work on and since when? 

Mary: I developed this when I got a divorce. While I was in the marriage, and for years I’d been insecure, didn’t like the sound of my voice, didn’t like what I looked like, didn’t like anything about myself and then when I got married the person really just watered that seed of my own self doubt and my own insecurity and made it worse. And I heard…what you say about yourself and how you think about yourself is way more important and effective than what anybody else can say or think about you. So if you speak positivity over yourself, and that’s what I started doing. So my first big confession was the album I put out called ‘Good Morning Gorgeous.’ I didn’t believe I was gorgeous ever but I had to say something I didn’t believe that was bigger than me and then it began to manifest in my heart…you have to believe that about yourself.

Drew: Well it’s actually two someone’s, the Bronx is in the building, come on out friends. Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma and her daughter Kenzie…can I ask you Remy what’s it like to be best friends with Mary?

Remy: Mary, she’s, you know how you meet somebody, you aspire to meet somebody and you look up to somebody and then you meet them and sometimes in this industry you meet them and they’re not really what you envisioned them to be. Not only is she everything that I thought she would be, she’s like past that. Super real, down to earth I would say probably eight out of ten times we see each other we end up crying. But she has that because it’s so real, so authentic and you feel it, you feel her. And I think what she’s doing in her legacy, and I don’t even know if she’s aware how many people that she touched. My daughter…I don’t even know how she latched onto Mary like that. One day she has this song called ‘Amazing’ and she keeps playing the song over and over and I’m like, ‘How do you know that song?’ and she’s like, ‘Yeah that’s Mary’…but just to show the generational impact that she‘s had, and I think sometimes we need to hear that as human beings you start to feel like I made my mark I did whatever, and she just keeps going. Literally I’m reading her the book backstage and there’s a part in the book that says, ‘Mary was being told no,’ because a lot of times when people tell you you can’t or no it's because they have small dreams and she goes, ‘Not me I have big dreams.’
