In this clip, Chingy spoke about his first album, “Jackpot,” which featured big hits like “One Call Away,” “Holiday Inn,” and “Right Thurr.” Chingy also shared a story about having dreams of working with Jermaine Dupri when he was a kid, who he would later work with on “Pulling Me Back” ft. Tyrese. From there, Shawn Prez asked about Keisha Knight Pulliam being his love interest in the “One Call Away” music video. Chingy explained that the point was to show Keisha grown up, and he added that Keisha’s brother is still close with Ludacris’ DTP crew.
Chingy then spoke about things changing with his second album, and he explained that he never had his own lawyer while he was on DTP. Chingy went on to explain that his mother thought he needed his own lawyer, which she got from his hometown in St. Louis. Chingy added that the new lawyer told him that DTP was “stealing” from him, which led to a meeting with DTP and the new lawyer. Chingy pointed out that he was young and clueless at the time, and he explained that he was confused that the lawyer said DTP was stealing from him. Chingy added that this led to him leaving DTP and going to Capitol, and he added that the new label didn’t know how to handle him like DTP.
