GQ: How would you describe the sort of partnership you've created?
Killer Mike: This is Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. Two people who are sharp and together. Mobbing. I open the car door, and usually she cooks. That's more to do with the fact that she's a much better cook than I am. But she's my partner in every aspect of the word.
Shana Render: Mike is the face of the place, but I'm the business of the businesses. I make financial decisions. Any problems at the shop, I know about them first.
Killer Mike: Shana has a masterful business mind. Much better than mine. It's my wife who was smart enough to make these investments.
What's the next investment?Render: I want to open up a hotel. Hopefully, Georgia will legalize marijuana soon so we can have a smoke room in it.
Why do you spend so much time at the Blue Flame?Killer Mike: The black strip club is the $25 Soho House. The connections are just as deep.
Render: A lot of the dancers are like, "What should I do with this $10K I have saved?" We give them advice on moves they should make.
Killer Mike: Catering, massage companies, real estate...
Render: Sometimes Mike jokes, "I'm the mastermind behind this shit!" But I quickly remind him that I'm the master behind that mind.
