Mod Sun Opens Up About Losing Influencer Sahara Ray

Look, man, probably been a couple of tough weeks. How are you? Thank you. How are you doing? Yeah, I'm good. I'm doing good, man. I had a good time out here in California, you know, celebrating someone that meant the world to me, you know. Did you get to spend some time with her family and friends? Yes. I do have to ask, you know, people, you know, the fans are probably curious, you know, Will there be, like, a ceremony or something that, or was that it? You guys got together, and that was a private thing. Bro, you know, it's so hard for me to get in front of a camera, not just, like, spill my guts. But, like, you know, it's not really a situation for me to talk on behalf of the family. I feel that. I feel that. I will just say... She's from a beautiful family of surfers, you know, and surfers, they really celebrate someone's life, you know, you always want to say, you know, when someone passes, it's a celebration of life, but when you go to a room with no windows, it's not, it doesn't feel like a celebration, you know, the way surfers do it. What? The paddle outs? Yes. The paddle outs are beautiful. Was it, was it, did it feel like... Did you feel like a a deep connection in that moment? That's a beautiful, that's just that's that's that that sounds beautiful man. Surfers man, surfers gotta really figure it out bro. In all ways, in all ways of life like just the metaphor for life is surfing you know. You got to work your ass off to get out past those waves, bro. You have to go through a physical exertion just to try to catch 20 seconds of bliss, you know? And it takes you right back into the shore. And then you got to work your ass off to get right back out there. It's a metaphor for life in every way. I love the metaphor of it, yeah. Yeah, surfers live a different life, and I learned just so much from her family. Again, bro, I would hate for her family to feel like I'm speaking on behalf of her if they ever saw something like this. So it's more just being like, you know... Tahar was just like this beautiful human I'm sure you saw the outpouring online yeah about how much she impacted people yeah it's like bro the the most beautiful thing is so many people have the same thing to say about her which is like Like... bro you can leave an impact on people and it's This, like, pure heart, bright energy, and that's how everyone felt about you. But that just says everything about how you live your life. There was a thing, there was, like, there was reports, all the reports said what they said. I don't know, and you don't want to say what you said. He said, But it makes me wonder, like, did she get to go home to the ocean? Is that what it was? Alright. Yeah, I can't really talk about it, all that, you know what I'm saying? I feel you. Like I said, her family's beautiful and I want to honor her in every way. So anything that they decide to share would obviously be, you know, however much they would. Like I said, they're a beautiful band, bro. You know, I haven't mentioned anything, but I mean, I released the song really recently that was... I'm completely inspired by her, you know, so you go and look at whatever I just released, you can piece it together. That's beautiful, man. I'm sure people will find solace in that. Maybe, you know, her fans could listen to that and look for that and appreciate. It's a beautiful day. Like I said, sometimes you don't want to... Tell an audience what to think when they listen to a song. So you like to leave it open for interpretation, but, you know, I do believe that she was like this beautiful soul that deserves to be honored, you know? And, I mean, bro, like, I'll think about that girl for the rest of my life. You know, I came out here, I did a, I just did a road trip. You know, the whole road trip was like doing a bunch of things that we did together, you know? Oh, that's cute, man. That's like... Sleeping on the beach with Big Sur and all that, bro. That's powerful. So you literally went and wanted to, like, revisit those places where you felt like you both had a spiritual connection to. Yeah. I like that, man. I mean, anything you did with that girl. If you saw my post about her, it was just... Beautiful video, you know, us in there, you know, that it's, uh... Those are deep, those were video, personal videos, yeah. Well, there, there, you know, there's a whole thought process that, that's tough when, when someone passes, because you do want to share memories, but it's like... so many times it can seem like you're almost making it about you right it's confusing when you post a bunch of photos of you and someone else that passes and and i was wanting to like I said I continue to say honor her because like she was a one of one bro like there's a quote from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where they say one of God's own prototypes you know that's how I feel about certain people on this planet and uh So I was like, you know, finding things that I could post with me and Sahara and I found that video, bro, and I looked at it and I was like, this says everything that anyone should, that never got to meet her, see, you know, and that was an everyday occurrence, just this girl connected to nature. That video is crazy, bro. Such a beautiful video. I want to give you some love, bro. Thank you for that. Thank you for that, bro. You take care. I moved out of Hollywood a while ago. Did you really? Yeah. Where you at? No, I moved to Tennessee. How is it out there? Are you finding something new? It's beautiful. So I'm not used to having a camera walk up on me anymore. So this is a rare occurrence. And you were awesome, bro. I appreciate it. Hey, I appreciate you saying that, man. There's so many times. This is where like I know the proper thing to be like is like someone gets put a camera on, they want to go like this. Right. Yeah, I don't know how to do that bro, you know, and like, you know, just thinking if someone was to ask me questions about her, like if I would do that. say like no comment but it's really hard like that girl lives in my heart and like i said to honor someone you know yeah anyone out there that gets to go and and look through the life that this girl lived i mean she's on every mood board from every music video that's been shot in the last 10 years there's a photo of this girl on that mood board because she was so influential bro Beautifully said, brother. God bless you, brother. Take care.
