Mojo Brookzz On Mike Epps, Kevin Hart, Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy, Modern Dating

Mojo Brookzz's viral catchphrase 'I know you lying' originated from a personal family moment when his sister became pregnant unexpectedly. He later developed his 'toxic skits' not just for humor, but to shine a light on common relationship issues and to show men how their 'crazy' behaviors appear to others, aiming to foster self-awareness and accountability.

Mojo recounts his mother calling him about his sister's pregnancy, prompting the phrase 'I know you lying' (03:08). He states his toxic skits were 'to shine light on what a lot of relationships are going through' and 'to show the men that act like this... this is exactly what you look like' (04:26).

Both Mojo and Shannon Sharp agree that uncommunicated expectations are a primary cause of relationship breakdowns, more so than finances or infidelity. Mojo argues that women, being more emotional, often assume men should instinctively know their desires, leading to frustration when these unspoken needs are not met.

Mojo states, 'the most toxic thing that most women do is they assume we're supposed to already know what it is that they want' (05:28). Shannon adds, 'it's uncommunicated expectations. You expect one thing, but you don't communicate that to her' (06:08).

Mojo advocates for clear boundaries in co-parenting, especially regarding new partners. He believes men should wait about a year before introducing a new woman to their child, while women should wait significantly longer (around five years) due to safety concerns for young girls. He firmly states that a co-parent's new partner should not discipline his child.

Mojo suggests 'maybe about a year' for men to introduce new partners to kids (21:38) and 'five years' for women (22:18). He emphatically states, 'Hell no' when asked if a co-parent's new partner can discipline his child (24:05).

Mojo highlights the exceptional generosity of Mike Epps and Martin Lawrence. Epps allowed Mojo to close a major show despite his late arrival, a rare act for a headliner. Lawrence, an industry veteran, was open to Mojo's joke suggestions and incorporated them into his own set, demonstrating humility and respect for younger talent.

Mojo recounts Mike Epps letting him close a show after travel delays (53:57). He also shares how Martin Lawrence used his joke suggestion, saying, 'Mojo, I did your joke... It hit' (01:08:57).

Mojo recounts losing a $7,500 opportunity with Kevin Hart's Heartbeat Productions due to 'potentially homophobic' tweets from 2013, written before his comedy career. He views cancel culture as overly sensitive, stifling free expression and unfairly punishing individuals for past statements, often without considering context or personal growth.

Mojo details losing a project with Heartbeat Productions over 'tweets from 2013 that... were potentially homophobic' (01:04:36). He expresses frustration, stating, 'the world got too sensitive. We can't talk about nothing' (00:48:54).

Mojo warns that social media platforms are not reliable long-term income sources because algorithms and monetization policies can change without notice. He experienced a drastic cut in his Facebook earnings from $60-80k/month to significantly less. He advises influencers to invest their earnings or monetize their following through direct sales (like tour tickets) to build sustainable careers.

Mojo states, 'those are not our platforms. At any given moment they can change the algorithm' (01:49:12). He shares his personal experience of Facebook cutting his earnings from '$60 to $80,000 a month' down to '1,500, 200 dollars' (01:49:29).
