55
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: going to Egypt after this. We had the Egypt for playing,

56
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,480

00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 6: then we look at the dynamics of Nigeria.

66
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:20,720

Speaker 4: like thirteen, wow, because he lived so normal, Like I

160
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,239
Speaker 4: even know he was a building there driving a Honda.

161
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: I remember he.

162
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,239
Speaker 4: Had a silver, brand new but he had a silver

163
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 4: Honda Accord you had to drive. Ever, my mom had

164
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: like a I think like a Toyota so or a

165
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: hounda truck or something. So like, I didn't know they

166
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: lived so more this until we moved out the house

167
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: to the new house. So we get to the new house.

168
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: I'll never forget. So we get to the new house

169
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh we live.

170
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: When we're moving on.

171
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 4: We get to the new house. From the new house,

172
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: That's when I started to like trying to know what

173
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 4: my dad doesn't get into, you know, knowing that he's

174
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 4: really tuning in business. And I come from a family

175
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 4: where it's no entertainment. It's straight up. You go to school,

176
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 4: you get your degree, either to options either my dad

177
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: gets you a job with one of his rich friends,

178
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: or you just go work for him.

179
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: So I was the first one to really brown child

180
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: on do entertainment.

181
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 6: So what was that like, right, Because obviously once you

182
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 6: find out what dad does and now you're doing something

183
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 6: completely different one I know from a West Indian background.

184
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 7: Dad, you know, your parents want.

185
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 6: You to do a couple of things and if you

186
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 6: don't do it's a disappointment. Dads are very successful, you're saying,

187
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 6: I'm going in a different direction.

188
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: Funny enough, I could even tell him it was that bad.

189
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 4: It wasn't like I'm not telling it. I'm doing music

190
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 4: type stuff like nah, Like he doesn't want that for me.

191
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 4: So it was something like he kind of had to

192
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: find out through other people like yo.

193
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: I think the day was there was music playing from

194
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: David Zoom.

195
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 4: He I had a whole studio in my room, and

196
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: he didn't know, you know what I'm saying, doing music,

197
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: I make sure I record from when he goes to work,

198
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: I'm in the studio recording, and then before he comes

199
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: back from work, I'm like, you know what I'm saying,

200
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: I'm not even talking about music. But over time, over time,

201
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: you know, I went to school for business management in

202
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 4: the US, right, yeah, yeah, he sent me to school.

203
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 4: I actually wanted to go to school in London because

204
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: most of my friends are going to London. But he

205
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: was also out of my time about me just going

206
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 4: to America because, like I said, that was the blueprint

207
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: for the family. It was already done. It's like, if

208
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 4: it's not broken, don't fix it, you know what I'm saying.

209
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 4: So it was already go to school in America, you

210
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 4: get your degree, and you come back and work.

211
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: For me, that was it.

212
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: So I think me going to school in America was

213
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: really what made me kind of independent and shaped me

214
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 4: into becoming my own person. Because it's not like here

215
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 4: in Nigeria, I want you to go to college. You're literally

216
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 4: still under your parents on EFU in this country until

217
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: you get married and have your own house and your

218
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 4: own kids, on etc. You're still under your parents, you

219
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. So not schooling in Nigeria and

220
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 4: going to America at a very young age, I went

221
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: to college at fifteen. I was fifteen years old, a

222
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 4: freshman in college. I first went to this college in Tennessee.

223
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 4: But it was too country for college Tennessee. I was

224
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 4: like only African, like was me and some other one dude, So.

225
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't for me. So there was this other teacher

226
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: I met. He was like, you know, you don't like here,

227
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: do you. I'm like, nah, it's kind of weird to me.

228
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: She was like, yeah, so there's a because my dad's

231
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 4: there's another Christian school. It's like HBCU. They have frights.

232
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: I think they think I would like that. One BETSI.

233
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 4: So I'm like cool. So I called my dad. I'm like, ah, Daddy,

234
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: I think I want to schools. I'm a really comfortable here.

235
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: Nobody here looks like me. You know what, I'm trying

236
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 4: to move. Then he understood that. So I remember driving

237
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: to the HBCU and I'm driving in. I see some

238
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 4: see some girls running some jay's. I looked at the

239
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 4: Air Force as all. I said, yeah, I'm home. So

240
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: I went to school for business management. So after like

241
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: a year, I'm in my dorm room and I'm hearing

242
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: music upstairs, Like I always hear music upstairs, but.

243
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: I never ever went upstairs to check. So I go check. Boom,

244
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: boom boom. The dude comes out.

245
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, you got a studio yea. He's like yeah,

246
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 4: it's Christian school. So he was on gospel music.

247
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: So I'm like wow. I saw the setup.

248
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: It was my first time seeing like a studio set up,

249
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 4: a mobile set up, and then studio type.

250
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: I was like, yo, so you record all this and yeah,

251
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: how much you get for all this stuff?

252
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: He's like eight hundred dollars, what Booma break him off?

253
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 4: He gives me everything and then from then on that's

254
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: when the music came. So after like two three months,

255
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 4: I changed my major from business management to music, right, so.

256
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: I did that and then that didn't go well.

257
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 4: That didn't go well because I met I went in class,

258
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 4: I met some Jamaicans and then I moved in with them.

259
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and then you know, over time, you know,

260
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: I was lying.

261
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 4: I was I won't say lying, but I just didn't

262
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 4: say I wasn't really in school. So I wasn't in

263
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 4: school facing music full time. And then over the years

264
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 4: he found out I wasn't in school, and then there

265
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 4: was a whole nother drama and stuff like that.

266
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: So at what point do you actually get to get

267
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: the deal or what was the journey to get your record?

268
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,240

Speaker 3: So coming from Africa, how is it as far as

313
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: like signing to an American label? They have like subsidiaries

314
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: here in Africa.

315
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: Now they do now they do, but when I signed,

316
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 4: there was no release subsidiaries except in like South Africa.

317
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: I think.

318
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: When I signed in twenty sixteen, it was kind of

319
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: new for me because I was just used to just

320
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 4: dropping music whenever I wanted record. You release your music.

321
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: By the time I posted on Instagram, Twitter, or whatever

322
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 4: the case may be. All the DJs having in Nigeria

323
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 4: is going crazy. It's going viral. But you know, we're

324
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 4: signing with a major label. Things have to be planned,

325
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: and you know, it was a different structure. It was

326
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 4: kind of weird for me, so it took time for

327
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: understanding and I FROs and as popular. Then they label

328
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: didn't get it, but I told them. I was like, yo,

329
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: trust me, in a couple of years, it's gonna be

330
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: the new sound.

331
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 6: This is in America, right, so yeah, this is a

332
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 6: Sony in America. But was there a transit, like I'm

333
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 6: thinking the UK obviously Nigeria a lot of people go

334
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 6: to school. Was there ever thought like let me see

335
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 6: if I can go to the UK and get a

336
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 6: deal or it's automatically let me go to America, let

337
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 6: me get a major.

338
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 4: Enough, my deal is actually from the UK, so it

339
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: was from the UK. But funny enough, because I was American,

340
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: I was.

341
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: Just kind of more familiar to that culture kind of.

342
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 4: So that's why I would if you look at my deal,

343
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 4: if you look at the papers.

344
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: It actually says Sony Music UK. People.

345
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 4: A lot of people think I'm signing from America, but

346
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 4: my main office is from the UK. It's just I'm American.

347
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: I kind of play with over the culture over there.

348
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: More so we're bringing recording.

349
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: When I first got signed, they were trying to get

350
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: me to do kind of what they thought would sell

351
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 4: feel me. So it took time, you know, for me

352
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 4: to finally tell them, like, look, you're either gonna let

353
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: me do what I want to do or just not

354

375
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 3: took over the world, but he was early, and you

376
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 3: said you was trying to convince them at the label

377
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: and they wasn't trying to really hear it. How did

378
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: you know it was going to take them over the

379
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 3: way it did? And what was the turning point to

380
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: really put approbats on the map.

381
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 4: I think afro Beats had I love the tony points.

382
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 4: I don't think it was one one time, one event,

383
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 4: or one particular little situation that changed everything. I think

384
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 4: it was a collection of things as well. They just

385
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: didn't get it. Like even when I was in college

386
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 4: when I used to play African music, my roommate to

387
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 4: asking me, like, Yo, what's that it sounds hard. So

388
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 4: I always knew that if they heard it, it'd like it.

389
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 4: But if you don't, you, if you don't hear it,

390
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 4: how you gonna like it? If I'm not being played

391
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 4: on radio, if you're not being played in the clubs,

392
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: if you know, now there's social media, so it's a

393
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 4: lot of easy always to you know, on sports music.

394
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 4: Well then it was just only really one avenue, which

395
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 4: was radio YouTube.

396
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: So I always knew that if we're heard, it's gonna go.

397
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 4: And then I dropped the song's not here it was

398
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 4: if the first one was, if it wasn't, now this

399
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 4: this is nothing gold Africa. Yeah, that went gold in

400
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 4: the US. So they saw that and they're like, okay, okay.

401
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love you. I'm like, then that dropped, and

402
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 2: I'm looking, I'm like, what's going on?

403
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 7: Like when I heard it, I thought it was reggae.

404
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 7: I thought it was a reggae artists.

405
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: Everybody thought it was from Jamaica. You know, everybody thought

406
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 4: it was from Jamaica. And then we did another one,

407
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 4: and then you have other artists coming to Berna, boy

408
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 4: whiz Kid, you have other artists from South Africa come

409
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 4: in and East Africa.

410
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: Then it's whole collection of things. And then you have

411
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: the movies, the African movies, Dollywood.

412
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, then you have the culture to close. So everything

413
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 4: it was like a culture shock, you know what I'm saying.

414
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 4: And then everything just coincided.

415
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 6: So when I heard it, obviously and most people they

416
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: heard reggae. So I'm thinking to myself, being from Nigeria,

417
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 6: who are the musical influences that you have? Because you

418
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 6: have I mean, it's a pretty unique dynamic, right. You

419
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 6: have that atl that you've been listening to the people,

420
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 6: the g Zis of the world and guccis, and then you.

421
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 7: Have Nigerian artists.

422
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 6: So who wasn't that influenced you all?

423
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 7: This?

424
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 4: Like my music is like Nigerian, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4: you know, when, especially when you first blew up, there's

468
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 4: there's a phase where it's like everything's happening so fast

469
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 4: that you don't have time to really seek back on

470
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: like planning or.

471
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: Know what you really want to do.

472
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 4: So obviously, for years I was my own artist, going

473
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 4: on tours back to back, no break, you know what

474
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So when I got this deal from Sony,

475
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 4: you know, I took I took a little break because

476
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 4: they were confusing me.

477
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: We were all confused in the whole deal. We didn't

478
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 2: know what type of music to make.

479
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: They didn't know what type of you know it even

480
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 4: not to promote African music, whether that's from what you

481
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 4: here or there. So I took a little break and

482
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 4: during that break, I decided, like, yo, like I have

483
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 4: so many talented people around me, why not, you know,

484
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: make this into a business. So that's when I started

485
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 4: the label and I signed you know, two artists, you know,

486
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 4: Male Kwan Journal and then from there, you know, I

487
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 4: think that's when I really started to get more business oriented.

488
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 6: And so when you're starting, when you get to Sony

489
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 6: and I imagine like especially in the States, when it

490
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 6: was a new artist or they had a nice boss.

491
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 4: And imagine during a stadium and I remember I just came.

492
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 4: I flew from Rwanda to New York. Right at press,

493
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 4: I just did eighty thousand people in the stadium fainting

494
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 4: like I'm Michael Jackson.

495
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 2: And I get on a plane and I get.

496
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 4: To New York and I'm doing anything, and they're like, yes,

497
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: so introduce yourself. It's discipline too, because every day you want,

498
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 4: you want to teach people your culture, you want the

499
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 4: music to expand. So with that happening, you have to

500
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 4: be able to accept that. You know, in some places

501
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 4: you might have to start start, not start again, but

502
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 4: you know, kind of gradually, you know, input yourself. And

503
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 4: I feel like over the years, even from them the

504
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 4: banch days, to my generation, to the new generation, and

505
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: then the ones that yet to come. I feel like

506
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 4: it's all been a process of you know, and now

507
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 4: we're basically there.

508
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 7: Now you got to get reintroduced to people you've been

509
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 7: introduced to. Yeah yeah, yeah.

510
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 6: So from a structure standpoint, being that it was a

511
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 6: new sound, are they structuring it? It was the same

512
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 6: because in the States it was like your hot artists,

513
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 6: here's your advance to make the album.

514
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 4: I think now it's different. I think from then then

515
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 4: it was like, yeah, I just saw money. I never

516
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: saw my life, and I took it. You know what

517
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 4: I'm saying. Advance, I got an advance. It was so funny.

518
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 4: I remember when I got my advance and I'm like,

519
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 4: so I blew it, right.

520
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: When are we shooting? When are we shooting? They're like, bro,

521
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 2: all that money to record your album? I'm like, what

522
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: where I'm from in Africa? Anybody keeps you going out from.

523
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 4: Going so like it got to a point where I'm like, okay,

524
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: now I've start you know, allocating budgets, video shoots, travel expenses, hotels,

525
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 4: carrying your team, your media crew, your creative director, your management,

526
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 4: which is you know, the bigger you get, it becomes

527
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 4: multiple people, your pr so it just becomes a whole

528
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 4: organization after a while.

529
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 6: At any point when you blewe the advance, are you

530
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 6: thinking let me call it that?

531
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 2: Oh for sure the first.

532
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 8: Phone and dad need a lot of credit.

533
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: Let's let's talk about endorsements, because I've heard that that's

534
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: real big for not it's big for every artist, but especially.

535
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,719
Speaker 4: You know, you know why it's really you know why

536
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: it's really endorsements are really in port in Nigeria is

537
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 4: because that's like the biggest avenue of income. We don't

538
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: really get royalties or I mean these days people getting

539
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: checks off like digital sales, but it's not like America

540
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 4: where it's like you're getting checked after check every week

541
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 4: in the mail, you know what I'm saying. So endorsements

542
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 4: was like the first big when because the governments, what

543
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 4: these companies do for these artists like myself and and

544
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 4: and endorsing us and putting us on billboards, putting us

545
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 4: on drinks, it's really what the government is meant to

546
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 4: be doing for the music industry kind of, so.

547
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: They them support THOS has been a great.

548
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 4: Help to the industry. We're doing shows like we organize concerts.

549
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 4: Like all my endorsements. Now, if I'm doing a show, right,

550
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 4: I go to all the office, I'm like, yo, I

551
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 4: got a show on social so date you know what

552
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 4: I'm saying, I need to support. Let me get a

553
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 4: hundred here, Let me get two hundred a here on thousand,

554
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 4: let me get three hundred here.

555
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah.

556
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 4: Just having the relationship already, they will come and support

557
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 4: your show. You know, most you give them two tables,

558
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 4: you give them probably a nice banner, you know on

559
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 4: the ivy or like outside the show, stuff like that.

560
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: So you also make a lot of money from that.

561
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 4: So endorsements and these companies, companies such as in phinis

562
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 4: as signed me, Visica, Pepsi, you know, they've come up

563
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 4: sort of like a great help to the industry.

564
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 3: So let's talk about this Bisica situation. This is very interesting.

565
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 3: So it's a cryptocurrency. It's away from the cryptocurrency, right,

566
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 3: not only cryptocurrency, payment payment process or corn car. So

567
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 3: Nigeria from my understanding, banned crypto.

568
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: I think so they did band crypto.

569
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 7: I mean the timing of it was suspicious.

570
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 2: I mean I need not now that there's something called

571
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: night right here.

572
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 6: I mean, the story goes, you partner with them with

573
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 6: and then you think about creating your own crypto coin.

574
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 7: And then the next week.

575
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: I tweeted it. Not the next week, it was like

576
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: the same.

577
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 7: Day, same day I treated it, and everybody got mad

578
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 7: at me, like, man, you just ended it for us.

579
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 4: So the day you tweeted the angle, I was sipping

580
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 4: some of mar tails feeling nice. I was got off

581
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 4: the phone with my managers, like, yo, we just made

582
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 4: my blah blah.

583
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: I was like, I just the next day or something,

584
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: they banned the whole country everything.

585
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 8: Why do you think, why you think they banded?

586
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't know why.

587
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: I just always feel like anything for the youth to progress,

588
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 4: they just want to leave the same way. They just

589
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 4: want to leave the same way in this country I'm

590
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: just coming from, and that's where like most of the

591
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 4: government officials stay.

592
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: And people are just tired.

593
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: You know, they don't want to evolve because they feel

594
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 4: like if they evolve, they lose the graph of the

595
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 4: of the country. Just look at America a couple of

596
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 4: years ago. Would you ever think Bill Gates will not

597
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 4: be the richest do you see Bill Gates trying to

598
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 4: fin destroyed Tesla or destroy Amazon. He's doing his own stuff,

599
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: but over here it's like, nah, no, we have to

600
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 4: keep it the way it has been. So I feel

601
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 4: like a lot of people are making a lot of

602
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 4: money off that of the crypto. So I feel like

603
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 4: it's just a way of you know, trying to just

604
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: downsize the youth power that the youth have because obviously

605
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: more money more power.

606
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they got the country's crypto ira now.

607
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: So now you can't deal with in Ira that you

608
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 4: probably get charges over that that's paying the government more

609
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 4: money than you already have to and then you can't

610
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: deal in normal crypto, so you know what I'm saying.

611
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 4: And with the way the naira nor mount naira is down,

612
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 4: so you imagine who's going to do. I'll be getting

613
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 4: up and down every five minutes.

614
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of people.

615
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 3: I put that on Instagram, A lot of people from Nigeria.

616
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: They wasn't happy about it. They like it's not real crypto.

617
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 4: I mean a lot of people are not happy right now,

618
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 4: but hopefully things will change.

619
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: So what's your involvement in that, in that company and

620
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 3: why why'd you want to involve your I'm.

621
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 4: My own part of the company, Me and my managers,

622
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,480

Speaker 4: So like just seeing dots off, like just agree to

660
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 4: just popline with somebody. And it was really an app

661
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 4: that was already built and it was just something that

662
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: just came to explain to me.

663
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: I thought it was a good opportunity. I was like, Yo,

664
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 2: let's do it. Put some money in there.

665
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 4: So it's like mobile, it's like it's like a it's

666
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 4: like an African cash app, but it's like you can

667
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 4: do more.

668
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: You can send currency, you can do like this.

669
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 4: You wanted to have your bitcoin and you want to

670
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 4: put it directly to your account, your back account. You

671
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 4: just change it in two minutes, three minutes, it goes

672
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 4: directly to your account credit. So just like having like

673
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 4: you have, let's say you have finance, you want to

674
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 4: do sell your bitcoin, it goes straight to it was

675
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,239
Speaker 4: fargo like two minutes. But it's not really like I want.

676
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 4: It's not really only crypto. But the reason why because

677
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 4: now like the world is all about crypto.

678
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: So that's probably why you hear.

679
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: Like cash, yeah, you can say anything. They were saying that, bills. Yeah,

680
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: they were saying mobile. I guess the mobile money in Ghana.

681
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: It's like real mummo yeahmo. So the girls be saying

682
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 3: you have MMO.

683
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 7: They said that to us yesterday. I was like, no,

684
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 7: I don't know what.

685
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,160

00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,839

Speaker 6: Incredible play and on this drumbe screen it was your face.

752
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,479
Speaker 6: And I mean for three hours straight there was nothing

753
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 6: else playing. So I'm like, well, that must be a

754
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 6: brand partnership. How did how did that come about?

755
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: Your funniest funny story? So you know I was with Hennessy.

756
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 7: You don't say.

757
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 4: I've been with Hennessy for years and years and years,

758
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 4: and I have a very very good relationship with them.

759
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 4: When I say very good, I'm talking to our kids,

760
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 4: our friends.

761
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yes, friends have a good relationship with Hennessy too,

762
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 6: no partnership.

763
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 4: So obviously my manager, my tail showed up and they

764
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 4: really wanted me, and it was it was kind of

765
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 4: a deal. I couldn't just refuse kind of and I

766
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 4: like the drink as well, you know what I'm saying,

767
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 4: not my batching haneycy and nothing.

768
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 2: It was great.

769
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 4: You know, we did a lot of big things together.

770
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 4: They helped me out a lot. But you know, with

771
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 4: stuff like that, you don't really want to.

772
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 2: You know. I think later on in life, I probably.

773
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 6: Want to have my own call, so I wouldn't really

774
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 6: want your own spirit situation.

775
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, that makes sense.

776
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 8: What about MTN?

777
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: MTN is like Sprint T Mobile.

778
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 4: That was my first endorsement that like this youth campaign

779
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 4: they did like all the you know how you have

780
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 4: like the like the back.

00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: To school T mobile school deals.

782
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 4: Like you got a student ID, yes, type that. So

783
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 4: they used me obviously because I was in school then,

784
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 4: so they used me to do that. That was amazing,

785
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 4: But I ain't getting nothing out of the company. That

786
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: was my first YO, and I got in trouble because

00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 2: I was excited, like.

790
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 8: How much was the check?

791
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 2: That was like my first one hundred thousand.

792
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 8: Dollars okay, So the company got mad at you.

793
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 2: What's the company?

794
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 4: Everybody was like, you know what I'm saying, I don't

795
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 4: post a check with the account numbers and.

796
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 7: Sting you in Twitter man.

797
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 3: So that that that's like the largest mobile company in

798
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 3: the world that I heard, Yeah, a lot of.

799
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 4: It's also in South Africa. It's normally in Nigeria. It's

800
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 4: in front COO from countries as well as in South Africa,

801
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 4: it's in it's in the Middle East as well as

802
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 4: in Dubai, Qatar, Soudi Arabia.

803
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

804
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: I was watching sixty Minutes a while ago and they

805
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: were talking about of Kenya and how the mobile I

806
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: think it's called peso or something like that, but the

807
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 3: mobile banking is real big out there. A lot of

808
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 3: the rural areas of Africa, they're saying they get into

809
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: the mobile bank because they don't like there's this thing

810
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 3: in America called like banking deserts where some people can't

811
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: get access to banks depending on where you live. It

812
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 3: was like in Africa, it's really bad. Depending on like

813
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: if you live in a rural area, but now the

814
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 3: mobile app or mobile phone.

815
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 4: Especially in a place where it's like the current the

816
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 4: value of the country is not that good, so you

817
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 4: having to carry you know, it's one million, you haven't

818
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 4: to carry all this money and stuff like.

819
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 8: That, Like Floyd Mayweather the.

820
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: Club, there's a break situation area. It's probably not safe

821
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: to be carrying all that money. So is ideal?

822
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, that makes sense.

823
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 6: One of the other things you're part of is it

824
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 6: one is one one one X bet now put your

825
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 6: best put your bets.

826
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: What's it called bonus code? David Oh?

827
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 6: So this is like sports betting, similar to like our

828
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 6: sand duels, right, and so that's a partnership or is

829
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 6: that like I have.

830
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 4: But I make money of like the promo code you

831
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 4: put my promo code that get bread off that.

832
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 7: So what we're betting on is it like every soccer.

833
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 6: Soccer, golf, golf, really anything that sports in South Africa golf.

834
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 8: But what's in Nigeria is soccer football?

835
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be respectful, So how is it as far

836
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: as the climate in Nigeria for like business, is it

837
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 3: tough to do business or is it like heavy government

838
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: regulation kind of who you know.

839
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: It depends on what you want to do.

840
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 4: Now, someone like Nigeria, it's very easy to come somewhere

841
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 4: like where you guys are coming from and come here

842
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 4: and think of an idea, a food truck. There's that

843
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 4: a lot of things in America that they don't have here.

844
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,919
Speaker 4: So you come here and you're like, Yo, they don't

845
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 4: have a top, go, they don't have a dis they

846
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 4: don't have that, they don't have a this.

847
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 2: They don't have that. That's cool.

848
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 4: You get the money to do that. Blah blah blah

849
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 4: blah blah. Now that's what it breaks down to. You

850
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: do everything, you bring everything. Now, I got start settling

851
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: this on, paying this on.

852
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 2: They don't want to move forward. So obviously you have

853
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 2: to lose somebody any big thing.

854
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 4: You always oh, this person is involved, like any like

855
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 4: if like if like if the W Hotel comes, it

856
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 4: can never be I don't want to mention anybody's names,

857
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 4: but it can never be, Oh W Hotel bought land

858
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 4: and just came on beauty in that ya. You always

859
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 4: have one politician is involved or one govenor, so it's

860
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 4: always you obviously have to know people when you want

861
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 4: to establish something big like that or involve them.

862
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 9: Yeah.

863
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 7: So even from a business standpoint now, I mean obviously, like.

864
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: For example, like my dad does power plants. I was

865
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 2: going there, God, God, yeah.

866
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 4: So it does power plants, it generates energy. And my

867
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 4: dad is a she's all about the private sector. But

868
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 4: for a guy like my dad to have to involve

869
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 4: the government in your business for your government to succeed

870
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 4: tells you a lot. Like I'm sure if my dad

871
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 4: didn't have to deal with the government at all with

872
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 4: his business, I'm sure you go one hundred percent that route.

873
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: But these days you have to. You have to.

874
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 4: It's even crazy, like like as a businessman, if I'm

875
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 4: a big businessman in Nigeria, just for example, if there's

876
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 4: an election, I'm giving twenty million dollars to the Democrats,

877
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:52,280
Speaker 4: I'm giving twenty million.

878
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 2: Dollars to Republicans.

879
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 8: Had your bet, Yeah, that's that works.

880
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: So whoever whoever gets in power, we want go for

881
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 2: me for you.

882
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 6: Have you ever thought after the music career to say,

883
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 6: you know what, I'm going to fulfill my dad's wishes

884
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 6: and get involved in some of the business.

885
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 4: Yet definitely I want to do that right now because

886
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 4: he's going crazy.

887
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, yo, you're going crazy. Your dad.

888
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 4: Let me, let me get a couple hours in manure. Well, yeah, definitely,

889
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 4: because I don't want only I don't want to my problem.

890
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 4: I don't want to just go there and just I

891
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 4: can go there and sit down there. I probably make

892
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 4: him man down a month, But it's like I want

893
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 4: to off I service to his business, which can you know,

894
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 4: spread into other things. Those are the kind of things

895
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 4: he wants to hear. You feel me deafinitely do definitely

896
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 4: think of you know, after a while he's gonna need

897
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 4: to help with the business.

898
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 6: I think these are the stories we need to hear,

899
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 6: right coming from America. Like even if you look at

900
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 6: the wealthiest black people in the world, right four or

901
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 6: five of them are Nigerian. And like the first lesson

902
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 6: we ever taught about financial litersy was about Dangodi and

903
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 6: it was like, this is incredible.

904
00:43:54,360 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 4: Then my dad always says, no, mat what's pay back

905
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 4: your debts?

906
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 2: Is it?

907
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 4: One thing I've learned from him because like with these

908
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 4: power plants, everybody thought he was crazy, Like what you're

909
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 4: using your buildings with your own money, your heart earned money,

910
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 4: because you can just go get a loan, build it

911
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 4: and then paying loans back back.

912
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 2: But I don't know what he did where he invested.

913
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: So he took a risk, invested his own money, knowing

914
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 4: that electricity is going to be like the next wave.

915
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 4: You know, oil is cool, you know what I'm saying,

916
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 4: But soon you know what I'm saying, you haven't electricity,

917
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 4: E cars and this, this that.

918
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 2: So he saw that from like ahead of time.

919
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 8: And was like acon he was doing that. Whatever happened

920
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 8: with that?

921
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 3: The city, well no, he had like a billion people

922
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 3: that he's gonna give electricity to in Africa.

923
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 2: That a funny thing.

924
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 4: He probably wanted to do it, but like I said,

925
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 4: the government, something probably went wrong. Maybe power changed.

926
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's always something like it's always something you

927
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 2: can have.

928
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 4: You can you can have a whole plan, right, Ye's

929
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 4: sixty people in the company. Let's just say the Ministry

930
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 4: of Land and Work in Housing.

931
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,280
Speaker 2: It's sixty people.

932
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 4: They change one person. Everything's it's just crazy. We have

933
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 4: to change on mindsets.

934
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 8: Why do you think that who's the blame for that?

935
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 4: I mean the government, but just it's us too. We

936
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 4: have to change within ourselves. Even we're just doing business.

937
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 8: And just you know, tradition.

938
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, just doing business like business what I like about America.

939
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 4: It might be strict, but business is just business. And

940
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 4: when you can't business with business and don't involve other

941
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 4: things like in night Jel for example, like somebody like

942
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 4: you do business with somebody. Okay, let's say a twenty

943
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 4: year old tech he builds this tech company that's about

944
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 4: it make like a billion dollars, right, and he walks

945
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 4: into an establishment that wants to buy the company. So

946
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 4: he walks in and they talking and then he probably like, yeah,

947
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 4: I want one billion dollars.

948
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 2: Do you know that? Do you mind?

949
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 4: I said, you do what you have to respect? But

950
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 4: you know more that are you y'all walking into mothies?

951
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 4: You want to tell you?

952
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 2: But it's like, bro, like you know what I'm saying.

953
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 2: So the love of mindset.

954
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 4: Of our culture that we have to change too, Like

955
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody who wants to be walking for

956
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 4: somebody you don't got there the type of culture.

957
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: Stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to wear it.

958
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: Like in America you have a thirty year old CEO

959
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 2: with like it's normal. Pretty here it's different.

960
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 6: I want to talk about the power of music because

961
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 6: obviously we know the big records if and we know

962
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 6: Fall was the biggest record on Billboard as far as

963
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 6: Applebeats for a long time. But I want to talk

964
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 6: about them a song that I don't even did you

965
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 6: know they was going to have the type of impact

966
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 6: because we're talking about power to the people giving their

967
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 6: power back to you know.

968
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,359
Speaker 4: It was crazy because with FAM I was going through

969
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 4: my own personal situations, which like when the media and stuff,

970
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 4: so I did I didn't record this song knowing you know,

971
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 4: the whole situation with the N Sars was going to

972
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 4: come through.

973
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 2: And can you explain people?

974
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 4: Yes, N Sars Okay, basically it's like a police section

975
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 4: of the police called the SARS.

976
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 2: It's they focused on.

977
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 4: Like robberies, military like the swap, but they focus on kidnapping,

978
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 4: anti terrors and cultures and just all the bad stuff.

979
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 4: But then they because they don't wear like police uniforms,

980
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 4: sometimes they're like sometimes they can dress like you would

981
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 4: just stop somebody on the road, I rest there for

982
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 4: no reason, you know, take their money. So people are

983
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 4: just tired, like come on, like somebody that is walking

984
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 4: in nine to five job just because you know, that

985
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 4: their papers are clean. You know, it's nothing like in America.

986
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 4: You stop like you can record, you know, you can

987
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 4: record the police and you know everything is documented, like

988
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,439
Speaker 4: we just they just wanted that. So it started off

989
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 4: like like a per small protest, and then the police

990
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 4: started like being violent, really violent, and then so it

991
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 4: just goes like I always say, the old, I get

992
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 4: to an older, the young, the use I get to

993
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 4: know that, so they get more away. So there's a

994
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 4: as a toll gate not too far. If you go

995
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 4: in my room you can actually see like so the

996
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 4: people were gathering there too, you know, protest peaceful, you know,

997
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 4: but the government thought because they were making so much

998
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 4: money from that to get so it just ended up

999
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 4: being something else. So funny enough, this my song had

1000
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 4: come out like two weeks before that. It's called fem.

1001
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 4: Fem means keep quiet. It's like it's a self empowerment song.

1002
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 4: It's basically telling yourself that, look, you can't tell me nothing.

1003
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: I know what I want. I'm going to stand for

1004
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:00,720
Speaker 2: what I want keep quiet.

1005
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 4: So it was basically like I didn't record it like

1006
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 4: talking to the government per se, but it was kind

1007
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 4: of like the perfect song for that moment. And then

1008
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 4: there was a certain politician that you went to the

1009
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:16,240
Speaker 4: protest and he was talking on the mike and everybody started.

1010
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 2: Singing, and then that clip I posted the clip. I

1011
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 2: got in big trouble my dad. It was cool, yea.

1012
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 4: So I posted a clip and then that way viral,

1013
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 4: and then everywhere else was caught on and started singing

1014
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 4: the song and it just became this whole phenomenon. It

1015
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 4: was just amazing to see that people were using my

1016
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 4: song as a voice instead of being violent music.

1017
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 3: When you did this song, you it was just a

1018
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:41,839
Speaker 3: coincidence that it got linked to the movement. You didn't

1019
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: You didn't do it for the movement.

1020
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:44,359
Speaker 8: Okay, that's dope.

1021
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 2: But I was involved in the narge movement.

1022
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1023
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 3: But so that was right around the time with like

1024
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 3: Black Lives Matter, Yes, yes, I remember.

1025
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:54,839
Speaker 2: And it was even like this.

1026
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 4: It was the first time, like the whole world too

1027
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 4: did like it was crazy, like it was like even me,

Speaker 3: How how do you feel about Because it's in America

1049
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 3: to a lot of people, some artists lend their voice

1050
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 3: to protest, but a lot of artists don't. Especially during

1051
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 3: Black Lives Matter, a lot of people that wasn't saying

1052
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 3: a thing. They was getting criticized because they felt like

1053

Speaker 2: From the hospital when I was born. Wow, I'm good.

Speaker 3: Like, you know your dad obviously, but then him to

1104
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 3: having those two this is something that you know, we

1105
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 3: aspired to and and they're not in entertainment of sports.

1106
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 3: Like you know, a lot of times people think you

1107
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 3: can only become rich, especially in America if you're black,

1108
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 3: if you're in entertainment of sports.

1109
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 4: But every time I see him, he tells me the

1110
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 4: same thing, David, save your bond, Save your bond. And

1111
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 4: that's if it tells me the same thing, is up,

1112
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 4: been a baby, David, save your money, Save your money.

1113
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 4: But it's just amazing to just see how like I said,

1114
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,720
Speaker 4: what what the crazy thing to me? Just how normal

1115
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 4: they lived their lives. I don't think Danno Tell's brought

1116
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 4: a new car in the last ten years.

1117
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 8: He didn't go on vacation for like the first twe years.

1118
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 4: I'm telling you his key drives a two thousand and five.

1119
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 4: He just two thousand and something g Wagon.

1120
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 6: You don't know, I understand, Like you probably don't understand this,

1121
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 6: but this, even hearing this is like extremely incredible because

1122
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 6: I remember writing the lessons when I found out about

1123
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 6: who is, Like wait, how doesn't the world know about it?

1124
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 7: To to be one degree of separation from him and

1125
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 7: you call him uncle. This is like, this is a moment, like.

1126
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 2: This is crazy. It's crazy.

1127
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 8: Small world that's it.

1128
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 7: It's getting smaller too.

1129
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, but what that's key because we was

1130
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 3: reaching it was like he didn't take a vacation for

1131
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 3: the first twenty years and then the first vacation.

1132
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 8: That he took was to Atlanta.

1133
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 2: Atlanta. He loves Atlanta. Random, I'm telling you, we really

1134
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 2: don't Atlanta. Yeah, like all of them where all the

1135
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 2: villa's like, that's all Atlanta was the hub.

1136
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 8: Them shout out to Atlanta. But that's just really random,

1137
00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 8: Like I'm like, at anywhere in the places chose Atlanta.

1138
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1139
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 4: His brother lives down the road, his little brother, billing

1140
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 4: or two. He drives himself. He takes the helicopter from

1141
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 4: his house here to the jet place. He drives his

1142
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 4: jet to Atlanta. That's one of the things your dad

1143
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 4: loves too, right, the planes?

1144
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:15,879
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1145
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah too.

1146
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 8: How is it in Africa as far as the countries.

1147
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 3: Like the vibe with each other? Because we know that

1148
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 3: it was it was all carved up when the colonizers came.

1149
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 3: It caused issues. Anybody doesn't know, my quick thirty second thing.

1150
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 3: It caused issues because it's not really like a real

1151
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 3: geographic line, so you know, different tribes and things of

1152
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 3: that nature. So it's very it's very hard to like

1153
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,800
Speaker 3: just make a country that's not really a country, just

1154
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 3: based off of a Europeans So most short there's been issues.

1155
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 3: But how is it right now with the vibes between

1156
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:49,720
Speaker 3: different countries.

1157
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 2: It depends on what is it?

1158
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:54,439
Speaker 4: It depends on politically as that say, man's sports, there's

1159
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 4: always been rivalry. But you know Niger you know what

1160
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 4: dominot everything everything, but it's it's vibes man Like, we

1161
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 4: have business poplasts all over Africa and I'm speaking for

1162
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 4: myself in the entertainment, collaborate with the artists they call

1163
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 4: mere they do the same. Like Ghana has grown to

1164
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 4: be a big entertainment hope for Africa. So you see

1165
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,240
Speaker 4: a lot of people going to Ghana. You know, Ghana

1166
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 4: is really more relaxed than legals, like you can catch

1167
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 4: that real real vacation rather than legos where everything is

1168
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 4: really like fast and stuff.

1169
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 2: But it's cool, but it's cool, but you do it.

1170
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 2: But we're Nigeria's you do.

1171
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 7: Agree dominant, So what's it?

1172
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 6: I mean from the country standpoint, But what's it like

1173
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 6: as far as entertainment as artists, what's the relationship like

1174
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 6: with the artists that are from Nigeria, because you'll got

1175
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 6: some really big artists, Bobby those the biggest. Uh, what's

1176
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:50,240
Speaker 6: your relationship like with other artists?

1177
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 7: Are you growing people? Are you saying, look, you can

1178
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,399
Speaker 7: you can make it here? Some mistakes I made? What's

1179
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 7: that like?

1180
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 2: Yo?

1181
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 4: It's all love And I'm shout out to this new generation.

1182
00:56:58,800 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 4: I hope they don't make a lot of the miss

1183
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 4: things that we made, you know what I'm saying. I

1184
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 4: see them collaborating, you know, with Nigeria especially Like for me,

1185
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 4: just the way I came in in the industry, I

1186
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 4: wasn't really welcomed, you know, based on my background. You know,

1187
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 4: I really had to show them like, Yo, I'm kind

1188
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 4: of really good at this, you know what I'm saying.

1189
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 4: They kind of accepted me. But you know, I have

1190
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 4: a lot of friends in the in the industry, but

1191
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 4: I feel like you need to definitely bring us to

1192
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 4: become stronger.

1193
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 2: And I feel like these days a lot of people

1194
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 2: have noticed that it's all cool. It's all straight with me.

1195
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 9: So love.

1196
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 4: But shout out to these new artists. They're going crazy invasive. Yes,

1197
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 4: very smart, young bright artists coming out of this country

1198
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 4: and all of them came mere, we hung out. I

1199
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 4: tell them my two cents when I can, But pretty

1200
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 4: much they know what they doing. Man, everybody know what

1201
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 4: they're doing to be honest.

1202
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 3: So you have a unique vantage point you you are

1203
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 3: from America. Yeah, you're from Nigeria. Also you look at

1204
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 3: yourself as African American American or African.

1205
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 2: African, African African with American passport.

1206
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 7: So so.

1207
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 3: The reason why I asked you that is shout you

1208
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 3: know Toby, Yeah, I think I met him a couple

1209
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 3: of times. Yeah, shout to Toby. He's from America, but

1210
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 3: he's from Nigeria.

1211
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 8: His family.

1212
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 3: Most ay, short the bridge between America and Africa. I

1213
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 3: feel like Ghana has done a great job with opening

1214
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 3: up their borders and a lot of people from America

1215
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 3: and they think of Africa and they think in of

1216
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 3: Ghana because they really put a lot of money behind that.

1217
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 3: How you feel about you think Nigeria can do something

1218
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 3: similar to that? And what are your words to people

1219
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 3: in America? Like as far as Africa, A lot of

1220
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 3: people still have never been to Africa. This is our

1221
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 3: first time in Africa.

1222
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 2: So okay, let me ask you guys this question.

1223
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 4: Before you guys came, y'all had an image of what

1224
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 4: you thought y'all's coming to.

1225
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, yeah kind of Was it different for what

1226
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 8: you saw?

1227
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 3: Not really, because I mean, at this point, fortunately we're

1228
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 3: fortunate to be educated.

1229
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 8: We meet so many different people that we have.

1230
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 4: A good okay, But I think I think the problem

1231
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 4: is we're coming to Africa. It just depends on how

1232
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 4: you come. That's one who you come to see. I

1233
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 4: can I can pick up, I can pick up. Give

1234
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 4: you an example, I can pick up for example, the

1235
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 4: baby from the airport and Charlotte flying with a jet

1236
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 4: two Execut jets the private terminal airport. He has no hassle,

1237
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 4: he comes out stumps, he gets in the Rose Royce,

1238
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 4: he drives down to Banana Iline, he's in a nice hotel,

1239
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. He's not really seeing the real Nigeria.

1240
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 4: So it depends on who you come with what you're experiencing.

1241
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 4: But it's like just I don't want to say the country.

1242
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 4: Does this country I always go to to perform, right,

1243
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 4: So I've been going to that country for three years

1244
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 4: and it's every time. From the airport, it's one road.

1245
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 4: Every time, it's one road to the hotel, one road

1246
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 4: to the president, there's your palace to perform, and back

1247
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 4: to the airport and back. So one day I just

1248
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,080
Speaker 4: want to be what kinds I said, Yo, where's everything got?

1249
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 4: So what what they do is the family, the guests

1250
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 4: that come in, there's a certain road they take them through,

1251
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 4: so they don't see.

1252
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 8: See the whole what's really really going on.

1253
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,959
Speaker 4: So you know, there's a lot of things, like even

1254
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 4: in the north, it's like if you go on news,

1255
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 4: are you type Likegeria type bondits?

1256
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: I don't think you ever want to visit this country?

1257
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 3: Now, you know what's so crazy? You say that because

1258
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 3: I'm I was telling people I was going to Nigeria.

1259
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 3: Everybody was like, yo, just be careful, Like it's crazy, right,

1260
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 3: be carefully, be careful to So then you know, you

1261
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 3: get effected by what people say because I'm like, no,

1262
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 3: it's cool.

1263
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 10: Cool.

1264
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 3: And then after so many people so I had visit,

1265
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, we need security. I'm like he got He's

1266
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 3: like you got security. I'm like need extra security. He's

1267
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,479
Speaker 3: like nah, Legos is good, Like you're good, You're saved.

1268
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 3: Was like, it's like affected because, like you said, it's

1269
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 3: a lot of negative press.

1270
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 6: I think even for my possession said, we've grown and

1271
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,600
Speaker 6: we've matured and we had more exposure. But when we

1272
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 6: were younger, it was like the only time you heard

1273
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 6: about Africa was on the infomercials.

1274
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 7: It was like, donated a dollar, donate a penny toward child.

1275
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 2: Old movies like The Girls mus Be Crazy.

1276
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 6: It was like, wait, But then again, when you start

1277
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 6: seeing people like yourself obviously akon and it's like, nah,

1278
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 6: there's the beautiful parts of this continent.

1279
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 8: That's the beauty of music.

1280
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 4: But do you do the funny thing the same way

1281
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 4: When somebody comes here and doesn't see the bad parts

1282
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 4: and they go back with the oh, I just cool.

1283
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 11: Everybody's having a good time. It's the same thing when

1284
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 11: it's the other way around. We just had that conversation.

1285
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 11: They were like, who was it They went to Los Angeles.

1286
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 11: They were like, there's people sleeping on the streets. Like, wait,

1287
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 11: they never showed it. I thought this was Hollywood.

1288
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the same thing.

1289
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's important to get a full spetch. And

1290
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 3: that's why whenever we go we try to get the

1291
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 3: full because, like you said, you can go. It's like

1292
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 3: we went to Jamaica and the last time we went

1293
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 3: to Jamaica, we went to Kingston and we was in

1294
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 3: like the real neighborhoods. Nobody ever goes to Kingston. They

1295
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 3: go to Montego Bay, they go to the Grill and

1296
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 3: you could just land and just be on the beach

1297
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 3: and think that's Jamaica. So I feel like it's important.

1298
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 3: Like we was at was at the shrine yesterday.

1299
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 8: You liked it, Yeah, it was real.

1300
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 2: Did you see any performances. Yeah, Sewan.

1301
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 8: Shout to him. He welcomed us backstage. We met him

1302
01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 8: by too.

1303
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, so that wasn't you know stuff like that,

1304
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 3: like to do stuff like that. You know what I'm saying, Like,

1305
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 3: don't you show me the good part? Show me every

1306
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 3: every part and its culture in it too.

1307
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, we like to prit ourselves on saying that we

1308
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 6: go places that people can't go because they don't.

1309
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 7: They wouldn't they wouldn't go. But we won't see it all.

1310
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 3: But it's important for people to know, like I said,

1311
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 3: especially in America, for like was too long. It's been

1312
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 3: a divide between black people in America and Africa, and

1313
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 3: it has to be some level of a bridge. And

1314
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 3: I feel like the music, I mean will always it's

1315
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 3: never going to be like but you know, we could

1316
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 3: be standing of course, you know what I'm saying. And

1317
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 3: I feel like now, like I said, that's one of

1318
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 3: the beautiful things with music is that it's like a

1319
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 3: transportant machine where it can actually transport you over there.

1320
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 3: And now with so many people into afrobeats, now people

1321
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 3: just wearing the fashion you go to America, Pete, that's

1322
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 3: like cooler way to fashion. Now people want to go

1323
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 3: to Ghana, people want to take trips.

1324
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,439

1325
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:23,240
