Entertainment and Motown, and is an independent artist as of 2021. Quan experienced commercial success with the 2013 single "Type of Way" and the 2015 single "Flex.” Marco gets into the interview immediately asking Quan where his name came from. After that Marco goes straight into Quan’s lyrics and his favorite songs. Marco dabbles in some personal life questions for which Quan says he is in a relationship and satisfied with the kids he has. Quan reveals his first job was at Six Flags and also says he would like to collaborate with Summer Walker and Bobby Brown. Quan talks about being bipolar and how he deals and admits to being a liar after Marco asks him. Quan speaks on his hiatus from the industry saying it was all about re-centering. Marco introduces independent artist Code Red to the set and asks him to do a freestyle rap for Quan which turns into a conversation about retirement and rapping. Marco asks the production team about questions that they put on the paper; the production team defends their stance admitting to doing a background check on Quan. Quan becomes aggravated saying that the background check was unnecessary. Marco asks the team if everything is ok and all hell starts to break loose as Rich Homie Quan isn’t for the games…

So you ain't never spent something like that was stupid right there.
But I got it.
Yeah.
So situation, I just want to get your opinion on it.
We got a guy.
He was with his baby mama.
He had her car, put some rims on it, uh, tinted, the windows, and it was her car.
And she ended up taking the car.
He woke up.
He was crying.
Somehow somebody stole the car.
She said, I'll, take the car.
How do you feel about that sounds like what happened in baby? Boy? How you feel about it though I mean, that's it, it really happened.
So I promised he got his own car.

Yeah, but you're saying, clock block, yeah, that's.
What he pulled up on the internet? Uh, I thought you hear me.
Why is it? Why did you just put that on the paper that's? What he said on google it, uh, he said that you applied for target, and they didn't hire you.
And that was on a job that you really wanted to work at, oh, that's, accurate, that's, correct.
He said that he worked.
He tried to apply for target back in high school that he didn't hire.
Yeah.
So target inspired you.
I don't even think that's, actually he said, it was something about a drug test.
You can't, even smell them like weeds.
I wanted to work in target.
But after uh, getting refused to work determined.
He picked up his hobby.
He said, music was just a hobby at first.
I never saw myself on stage in rocky house shows after I got out of jail.
I started taking more seriously that's when my dream came true.
So you got a message for target, oh man, shout out to.
But I still don't think that you that's crazy.

Why you're out [ __, ], that's, too much, is that camera rolling? I mean, we might have to start over a little bit if that's okay, like maybe from like the beginning, that's starting the whole interview over.
I mean, I mean you could maybe like reach just redo what you already did.
It might make it easier whatever on top of recreation.
