In this special episode of Club Shay Shay, Shannon Sharpe sits down with Coco Jones and Teddy Swims for an unforgettable conversation about music, life, and perseverance.

Teddy also opens up about his admiration for Lil Wayne—he has Tha Carter III lyrics tattooed on his eyes—and reminisces about his first tattoo experience. He touches on his interracial relationship with singer Raiche Wright, how she helped him heal and seek therapy, and the influence of his grandfather, a minister.

She shares her experience moving to L.A. alone at 17, learning to manage her finances, and navigating the pressures of the entertainment industry as a dark-skinned woman. She recalls working with Victoria Monét at 14, landing a starring role in Bel-Air as Hilary Banks, and sharing the screen with Tyler James Williams in Let It Shine. Coco Jones opens up about the struggles of being a young Black actress, from attending a predominantly white high school to losing Disney’s Next Big Thing.
