The Grammys
February 10th 2013 was the day I knew 100% for sure that I was destined for the Grammys. It was my first time staying in LA and the people I was working with at the time where gearing up to go to the Grammy Awards. I was just honestly living in their moment as a simple servant. Looking at the outfits thinking how expensive everything was. I didn’t really know how everything was going to go at the time but after they was done with me that evening I went to hit the streets of LA. My DTP fam was in town so I went over to the studio Ludacris had a session at. It was a good time. They were so proud of the moves I had made in the industry. I was proud too, I had completed all my short-term goals which felt really good.
Anyway we were all sitting at the table and Jeff starts talking about yea I got these tickets to the Grammys that he wasn’t going to use. Then I got excited and said me! Me! I wanna go! He said alright and called Aiyisha, but I don’t think she picked up the phone so I didn’t think anything of it.
The next day I called the people I was in LA with to see if they didn’t need anything but they were good to go, so I said cool. I started making plans to hit the streets and go back to the studio that day. When I got to my hotel I turned on the TV to watch the red carpet for the awards show. But I was confused, that even though the Grammys were “live” they didn’t come on at the same time as they were shooting it. So I when back to the studio were DTP was at and Jeff comes out and said where you been, I had got these tickets for you. I was like really?!?!?!? He was like yea and went into the studio and brought back out a beige envelope and handed it to me. I opened the envelope and there they were two shinny 11th row tickets to The Grammys!!!
I was like there’s two in here! Jeff was like we wasn’t going to have you go by yourself.
Man I was sooooo happy and overwhelmed at the same time. I thought to myself who am I, not having done anything real yet to be able to go to the Grammys? But who am I not to! Getting these tickets just solidified for me who I was and where I was going. At that very moment it became REAL to me. And I began my official journey #OnTheRoadToEightGrammys
Later on I found out the these Grammy tickets weren’t spare tickets but I actually had Ludacris’s tickets. When I found that out the next time I seen Luda I had him sign my ticket Having the opportunity to go to the Grammys so soon was one of the greatest and inspiring things that happened to me till this very day. Major S/o to Jeff for making this happen and being one of the those real men who do what they say they are going to do!
