We
caught
up
with
the
‘Bel-Air’
actress
at
this
year’s
Teen
Vogue
Summit.
After
performing
ICU,
Fallin,
and
Double
Back
from
her
hit
EP
What
I
Didn’t
Tell
You
,
Coco
sat
down
with
Teen
Vogue
entertainment
editor,
Kaitlyn
McNab
for
a
conversation
about
her
journey
from
former
Disney
star
to
R&B
powerhouse
and
the
hard
work
she
put
in
along
the
way.
During
the
conversation,
Coco
discussed
what
success
means
to
her.
“It’s
not
giving
up,
it’s
doing
something
every
day
towards
your
end
goal
and
maybe
that
something
is
writing
a
song
that
you
will
never
put
out,
but
you
became
a
better
songwriter
that
day
like
you
did,
become
a
worse
one
that
day.
Or
maybe
that’s
creating
a
piece
of
clothing
that
doesn’t
look
like
anything
else
you
see
out
there.
Who
knows
how
it’s
going
to
get
made.
But
you’re
being
a
visionary,”
she
said.“Success
to
me
is
doing
something
rather
than
doing
nothing
and
failure
to
me
is
doing
nothing
forever.”

If
you
ask
us,
success
looks
like
earning
five
Grammy
nominations
before
releasing
a
debut
album
and
Coco
did
just
that
at
25
years
old.
In
an
exclusive
interview
with
Bossip
and
HelloBeautiful’s
Social
Media
Manager,
Char
Masona,
Coco
Jones
talked
Grammys,
being
a
role
model,
chain
restaurant
dates,
and
more.
Check
it
out
below:
Where
were
you
when
you
found
out
you
were
nominated
for
five
Grammys
for
an
EP?
I
was
actually
on
a
plane.
I
had
my
sleep
mask
on
and
when
I
put
that
on,
it’s
lights
out.
Goodnight.
So
I
was
like,
OK,
who
is
driving
this
plane?
Because
the
vibrations
are
going.
And
I
was
just
like
the
turbulence,
it’s
getting
medical.
So,
I
had
to
open
my
little
sleep
mask
and
I
realized
it
was
my
phone.
Girl,
I
just
got
to
scrolling,
and
scrolling,
and
scrolling,
and
I
knew
what
it
was
about.
So
I
was
screaming
internally.
Of
course,
didn’t
want
to
alert
the
rest
of
the
passengers,
but
yeah,
I
was
shook.
I
was
responding
to
everybody
and
just
sending
them
a
picture
of
me
on
the
plane.
I
was
like,
sorry.
They’re
like,
“call
me
back!”
I’m
like,
“I’m
on
a
plane.
I’m
on
a
plane!”
But
yeah,
it
was
crazy.
I
saw
your
social
media
video
of
you
talking
to
your
mom
and
she
was
talking
about
being
proud
of
you
for
never
giving
up.
So
what
would
you
say
to
someone
who
is
just
waiting
on
that
dream
and
it
just
feels
like
it
isn’t
happening
yet?
I
would
say,
consider
yourself
already
successful
because
you
haven’t
given
up.
Success
is
just
not
walking
away
from
whatever
you’re
passionate
about
and
continuing
to
have
faith
that
you’re
working
towards
something
that’s
happening.
Like
sometimes
me
and
my
friends
will
be
like
iit’s
FedEx,
it’s
FedEx,
which
means
it’s
on
the
way.
Like
it’s
already
on
the
way.
So
just
how
would
you
act
if
you
knew
you
had
an
amazing
package
coming?
You’d
be
pretty
excited.
You’d
be
preparing
for
that
thing.
That’s
how
you
have
to
live.
You
have
to
live
like
whatever
you
want
is
on
the
way.

How
do
you
feel
about
your
Co-captains,
your
fan
base?
How
do
you
feel
about
them
looking
up
to
you
and
your
story
now
[that]
you’re
a
role
model
to
young
women
and
other
people?
Honestly
to
me,
I’m
a
big
sister
in
real
life
and
so
to
me
it’s
like
I
just
have
a
bunch
of
sisters
that
you
know
are
inspired
by
my
journey.
And
I
feel
like
if
I
get
this
platform
and
I
don’t
inspire
somebody,
then
what
happened?
You
know,
that’s
just
not
worth
it
to
me.
So
I
feel
like
I
would
go
through
my
whole
journey
again
just
to
inspire
young
Black
women.Keep
going.
OK,
so
now
I’m
just
gonna
ask
you
some
fun
questions.
This
is
gonna
be
quick.
No
chaser
[a
lil
homage
to
Coco’s
song].
Chain
restaurant
dates.
Yes
or
no?
Yeah,
absolutely.
Cheesecake
Factory
pops
off,
and
so
does
Applebee’s.
That
2
for
20?
Hello?
Cheesecake
Factory
goes
hard
and
it’s
not
even
cheap
so
I
dont
understand
[the
drama]
Very
hard.
I
know
by
the
time
I
ordered
7
apps
baby
you
just
clocked
it.
Hello.
And
I’m
getting
a
lemon
Drop
Martini
or
4.
If
you
were
on
a
photo
shoot,
would
you
pick
bad
makeup
or
a
bad
wig?
Oh,
my
God.
No!
Bad
makeup,
bad
makeup,
bad
makeup,
you
know,
cause
this
face
will
still
serve
even
if
I’m
giving
casket
sharp.
OK,
last
question,
what
is
your
biggest
dating
ick?
My
biggest
dating
ick
is
pride.
If
you
think
you’re
hot
ish
and
you
just
keep
telling
me
about
the
things
you’ve
done
and
what
what.
Like
ew.
Because
I’m
just
so
I
don’t
like
even
acknowledging
my
own
accolades.
I’ll
be
like
“
please,
gross.”
So
anyone
who
just
does
that,
I’m
like
I’m
going
to
vom
immediately.
Are
you
OK?
