In 2022, Teddy Riley talked about life after Guy disbanded and the moves he had to make next. He recounted working with Michael Jackson and how Clarence Avant was instrumental in getting him his deal with MCA. While speaking about his working relationship with Michael Jackson, he confirmed the reason why the late Quincy Jones stopped producing the King of Pop after the "Bad" album. Teddy also recalled feeling like a hustler after getting booked to work on different tracks for various artists and making a lot of money in the process. At one point, he remembered jumping on the bed like a little kid after securing $100K between a track for Keith Sweat and another remix.
