Boom we're on.

In today's guest we've got Big Gene. How are you, brother?

Hey, what's going on, Miss Denglish? What's going on with you?

Really good, mate. First and foremost, thanks for coming on the show. Appreciate you having me. Bodyguard for all the celebrities, known to being P. Diddy's main guy. You were there when Biggie was killed. You've worked with 50 cent. You've been a bouncer as well, a doorman. You've done a lot of stuff in your life. Very outspoken as well,

but very well respected. A lot of people do like you out there. You've released a book,

which we'll plug straight away. Where can people buy your book?

Well, they can buy it on Amazon or they can hit me at Big Gene on cash app or PayPal, Big Gene 52, and I will send one out. If you over in the UK,

you have to pay a little extra for the postage, but if you're in America, just the regular

postage and stuff like that, it's $50. Before we get into everything though,

I always like to go back to the start with my guests. Get more of a bit of understanding about

you, Gene, where you grew up, how it all began. I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. Until about,

I was 12 years old, then I moved. When I met my my mother at 12 I moved with her in the little

subdivision of St. Louis County which called Wellston and I stayed there until I graduated high school

and the day I graduated high school the next day I went to college to play ball at Alcorn State University

in the Swack and

Lawman, Mississippi.

When you say, mate, your mother, what happened?

At the age of two, my grandfather came to my mother's house. He didn't like the situation.

She had left us with some people. He took us, me and my little brother, which was just one, and I was

going on three. He took us from my mother and told her not to never step foot in his house

or come and see us. So we grew up thinking that our grandparents were our parents until my

grandfather got on his deathbed and died. And that's when I met my mother for the first time.
