00:02 - Since he was four years old,
00:13 he would yell and scream to come on stage with me.
00:16 If I didn't, like when I was doing my encores,
00:18 he would yell and scream to come on stage,
00:20 like really, really cause a fit.
00:22 And so as the years went on,
00:24 wanting to pursue his rap career,
00:26 he just, his last single was the number one record.
00:28 And this is like our third time performing,
00:31 but like our biggest time where he really, really,
00:34 really held it down and I'm proud of him.
00:36 And, but it started when he was four years old.
00:39 So to be up there rocking with him, it's so surreal.
00:41 And my daughters tonight were just so surreal.
00:43 - And they kept, they were keeping their lips tied
00:45 about that cause I asked him on the carpet,
00:47 I said, "What's your dad got up his sleeve?"
00:48 Cause he told me it was going to be great.
00:50 He's been working on this show.
00:51 Everyone backstage has said,
00:53 you have been the consummate professional.
00:54 You have been time, you have been working your tail off.
00:56 And you told me, you said, "No fashion week for me.
00:59 I've got to be in the zone working on my global icon set."
01:03 How important and how special was this moment
01:06 to have your family?
01:07 - No, you keep talking.
01:09 - That's okay, I get you, I fan you out.
01:11 - Thank you, hold on, hold on.
01:12 Let me, let me, let me, let me get these.
01:13 I'm a fan of this book.
01:14 You talk to him.
01:14 Hey, Christian, you get in there.
01:15 It's your turn, man.
01:16 - Yeah.
01:17 - Well, how special was it to have your dad
01:19 invite you on the stage for something like
01:21 the global icon acceptance set?
01:24 - I ain't gonna lie, it was amazing.
01:25 I've been watching my pops since I was a kid.
01:28 And like you said, I always was like
01:29 fiending to get on the stage.
01:31 And I always just felt so crazy
01:33 if I didn't get to touch it.
01:34 Like I was sad.
01:35 So to bring me out on the biggest stage of music is crazy.
01:39 - Now tell me this, why do you think,
01:41 why do you think your pops is a global icon?
01:45 - I think he's the best to ever do it, period.
01:47 - Yeah.
01:48 - Yeah, for sure.
01:49 - Did he, are you over there with my AT cards
01:51 looking like you about to take my job?
01:52 - No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:53 They ain't on your card.
01:54 - No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:55 - Tonight was special 'cause backstage we was like,
01:57 we gonna do this one for his mother.
01:58 This is the first one we did for his mom.
02:00 We was thinking about her.
02:01 It was like, this was always a dream of hers
02:03 that we'd be on stage together,
02:05 like in a big way in such a global televised event.
