Laila! shared the best advice that her father Yasiin Bey (aka Mos Def) has given her in relation to her work: “Stay away from the industry, cause it’s not good.”⁠  ⁠ While Laila acknowledges the wisdom in her father's warning, she remains resolute in her commitment to being a musician: “This is what I wanna do with my life. I can’t stay away from scary things forever—things are scary but you got to have the right people around you, and I definitely have great people around me that are supporting me.”⁠ ⁠ Laila also praised her mother and manager Jessica Chong and shared the best advice that Chong has given her: “To ‘really live in the moment,’ cause I feel like I get really caught thinking too far ahead and letting that stress me out. Just to take things one day at a time, take one challenge at a time. It really helps when you look at life that way instead of trying to solve fifty problems at once.”⁠ ⁠ __⁠ 📹 via @HOT97/YouTube #pigeonsandplanes #laila #mosdef #yasiinbey #producer
