What happens when a hint of chaos becomes the unexpected ingredient that spices up a relationship? In a refreshingly candid episode of ‘We Need to Know’, Nyla Symone sits down with Toosii, who dives into his philosophy on relationships, revealing why he believes a bit of “toxic” balance might actually be necessary. Rooted in the yin-yang principle, Toosii brings a mix of humor, insight, and his Capricorn spirit to the conversation, offering a unique perspective on modern romance.
Toosii’s new project, ‘Jaded’, serves as a pivotal step forward, described as a “stepping stone” mixtape leading to his next major album. He shares how collaborations like “Okay Whatever” with Kehlani came about, praising her quick turnaround and commitment. Although a track with Summer Walker titled “F*** You Mean” didn’t materialize due to timing, Toosii hints at his excitement for unexpected collaborations, including a recent feature with Money Long.
Beyond the music, Toosii opens up about his grounded lifestyle. Despite industry norms, he reveals that he’s never smoked or drank alcohol and is currently immersing himself in ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, even encouraging his team to read it. Raised with both Southern values and New York influences, he identifies as a “Southern man” in relationships, balancing charm with wisdom, symbolized by his affinity for owls. Toosii’s young child plays a key role in keeping him focused and away from social media drama, and he enjoys giving back to his fans—like gifting Chanel bags (though he draws the line at Birkins).
As ‘Jaded’ rolls out, Toosii already has his sights set on future projects, with ambitions to collaborate in the pop world and a packed lineup of upcoming shows, including his “TR Wave” tour date on the 19th. His focus tracks on the mixtape, “Fire and Desire” and “Sticks and Stones,” reflect his evolution as both an artist and a person, as he continues to navigate fame, relationships, and artistic growth with grounded confidence.
