Pretty much our autopilot disconnected at 39,000 feet, and we started falling through the air. I almost had a near-death experience with a plane crash before I made this album. The album has the most features you’ve ever had on one project: Trippie Redd, Bryson Tiller, 2 Chainz, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Meek Mill, etc. Was this a conscious decision to work with all of these artists? It’s something that falls into place with the right person, because it was so meant to be that you guys wanted to be in a relationship. Sometimes people, I think, they rush it and they want love so bad that love never really comes to them because a relationship to me is not something that you go out trying to look for. I feel like it’s something you have to let happen naturally. Normally I would never start with a song like “Why Don’t You Love Me.” I did a lot of things differently this time. It was just a period where the music was giving me this freeness. Me and my baby mother were probably going through a couple things, the mother of my son. Were you going through a breakup through this recording? The first thing that I noticed about Love Me Now? were the love themes on the first three tracks alone: “Why Don’t You Love Me,” “She Told Me” and “Duck My Ex” back to back to back. Yeah, now I’m the actual puppet master, if you will. You’ve created your own lane, no pun intended. I don’t let them string puppet me anymore, you know what I’m saying? I don’t let the opinions and the crowd and what the industry says and what the standard is dictate how I’m going to move. I always had a say at least creatively, but at the same time when you’re supposed to make certain moves - you go where they tell you to go, you know? Because there’s so many other people and other factors that go into listening to my music, I feel like their opinionated comments kind of make you change your craft. When you’re first starting in this business, you don’t always have a say in your craft. I kind of look at it when you first get into the industry, you’re kind of like a puppet in a weird way. The puppet started having the deeper meaning to me. Well, the actual little Tory puppet was from a video that I did with Keys N Krates called “Music to My Ears.” They gifted it to me after the fact, so I just kept it going. It’s kind of like your interpretation of The Brady Bunch. Just based on this album cover, it seems like you are in a good space.
