PJ Morton sits down with Cam Newton for a candid conversation about growing up as a preacher’s kid, finding his own faith, and learning to separate God from the judgment and traditions of church culture. From his unlikely journey with Maroon 5 and Young Money to navigating R&B, relationships, sex, and the expectations placed on him as Bishop Paul Morton’s son, PJ opens up about becoming comfortable with being himself in every room. He also reflects on his father’s mental health struggle, marriage, fatherhood, and the lessons he had to unlearn along the way. This is PJ Morton beyond the Grammys—a conversation about faith, freedom, family, and finding peace in who you are.
