Jeannie Mai‘s new video about her and her daughter’s latest adventure shows how sassy Monaco is! In case you missed it, earlier this week, Mai shared an adorable video on her Instagram. She shared the video with the caption reading, “Taking Coco to her first Asian supermarket IYKYK 😵💫👃 Part 2 coming..”
In this adorably chaotic video, we see Mai, Mama Mai, and Monaco going on an adventure to an Asian supermarket. We start with them looking for oxtail, with Monaco saying, “I’m done” in Vietnamese.
Then, they’re on the hunt for more, and Monaco is so done, saying things like “That’s not kopucha, that’s stinky! That is a pumpkin,” “That’s stinky,” and “I’m going home.”
Monaco shows fans, yet again, she’s the ultimate sass master!

For those who don’t know, back in January 2022, Mai and her ex-husband Jeezy welcomed their daughter, Monaco, into the world.
In a recent interview with SheKnows, she talked about how she keeps Monaco connected to her roots.
“In our household, we speak only Vietnamese with Monaco. She eats a lot of Vietnamese food. She watches Mama Mai cook them,” she said. “Family is everything in my culture. Family means that you protect one another, you respect one another, you know one another’s boundaries, you encourage one another, and you look out for one another. That’s very strong in Vietnamese culture.”
“I think for Monaco, the most important thing is for her to know her own roots well, both being Black and Vietnamese. It’s important for her to learn both sides of her culture, how they’re different, how they’re wonderfully woven into who she is, and to respect that her version of both those cultures doesn’t mean it’s the same for everybody else,” she said, adding that she also wants Monaco to know “to respect how other people are brought up in their own lineage or in their own households. Just being able to be aware of it, of who she is … when she loves her own roots, she’s able to love and appreciate others.”
