In this clip, St. Louis-based rapper Chingy shares some of his dietary/workout secrets along with the mental approach that he's adopted, which has allowed him to maintain such a youthful appearance over the years. From there, he reveals why people have begun to call him "Benjamin Button" and what prompted him to take on a healthy lifestyle, why he respects animals so much, and his choice to become vegan.
Moving along, Chingy reflects back on his upbringing in St. Louis (surrounded by drugs, poverty, and gang-banging) before explaining his family dynamics. From there, he reveals that Eazy-E, DJ Quick, and Michael Jackson were his biggest inspirations. Then, he explains how the Bloods street gang from Los Angeles became a part of his family's legacy in St. Louis.

Lastly, Chingy talks about his father, who is a well-known OG in the area.
