Listen, I want to thank every single one of you that have been supporting us, watching these videos, leaving likes, and leaving comments. It is important that you don't only watch the videos or you click the like button as well because it helps push the videos through the algorithm and for people to see it. You know, because unfortunately, this is the way YouTube is and this is the way the training platforms are and everything, you know, because we are trying to build this platform for our culture and for you as well. And also it gives us the motivation to come here every weekend and record and everything because we enjoy doing it, but we also need you guys to support us as well. You know what I mean? So do that.

SPEAKER_04 0:50

The boys are back in town. The boys are back in town. You know that song. If you know that song, you know that song.

SPEAKER_02 0:56

The boys are back in town, bro. Fuck. I beg. I beg. I beg. Damn. I beg. You see in life, right? You get what I'm saying? I am begging you, bro. The people close to you are the people they are the ones that will tell you the truth, my guy. You give me them people close to you will be the one tell the truth. And the hating, man, the hating.

SPEAKER_03 1:25

Listen, my voice is melodious. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:28

Listen, yes. Why are you saying yes that quick? I'm sure that that does the same way South Africans will be like, they are good in football.

SPEAKER_00 1:37

The whole of Africa was against South Africa.

SPEAKER_02 1:40

I'll tell you, bro. I'm sure. Listen, that shit was so funny to watch, though. I'm not gonna lie to you. It was so fun to watch. Yeah, they just see the listen, Nigerians stunned Mexicans for one night, bruv. Yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_04 1:52

It's not just Nigerians and Africans, the whole Africa, bro. They don't, yeah, bro. What's even funny is that they made the hate watch even too easy.

SPEAKER_02 2:02

It was too easy, bruv. They were just getting slapped around and everything on the page. Two goals, three yellow, and three red cards.

SPEAKER_04 2:12

What on earth can anyone pay and pray for more? Like, you can't pray for anything more than that.

SPEAKER_02 2:17

Do you know what I'm not gonna lie to you, bro? I'm not gonna lie to you, yeah. I think some people don't deserve to be going World Cup, bro. You know what I'm saying? How can uh Nigeria miss the World Cup while South Africa is there?

SPEAKER_04 2:29

Yeah, bro.

SPEAKER_02 2:30

Travesty, bruh.

SPEAKER_04 2:31

Yeah, it's a travesty.

SPEAKER_02 2:32

Well, that's you get me. I don't blame South Africa because they did what they're supposed to do and everything. Yeah, but I think if I was FIFA, yeah, I'd be like, you know what? I know you guys got a ticket to to uh to FIFA, but just stay home, yeah. Yeah, yeah, stay home.

SPEAKER_04 2:47

These these people over here deserve to go, bro. You know what? I'm not gonna lie, it's funny because well, not really funny, but it's just interesting to know that the same group that South Africa qualified from, that's the same group Nigeria was in. So had it been we topped our group, we would have been playing Mexico, Nigeria, yeah. That's it, and you know what's crazy? That would have fitted well with the opening ceremony, yeah. Because the Nigerian is there doing I die be go, I die, let go. That's my favorite song right now. Hey, hey, hey, from the start. Hey, you come from the Shakira is the greatest, she's the greatest. Shakira is what Shakira is Shakira is to FIFA what Maria Kari is to Christmas.

SPEAKER_02 3:36

I see what you did there. I see what you did there. Nuggets, you know what? You're probably right. She is FIFA darling, bro. Bro, she is FIFA darling. Banger, after that, um Samina Mina. They said, Yeah, FIFA sat down and said, That right there is our darling, man.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

The song is still ringing.

SPEAKER_04 3:58

SPEAKER_02 4:13

FIFA every four years, Shakira, we don't listen, even if we don't hear about Shakira for the for the last four years and everybody, yeah. Once FIFA is around, she's popping out somewhere. I swear down. You got me? She's popping out somewhere. But before we even get to that, yeah, bro, the one that made me laugh, yeah, was this Ghanaian guy. Dude is funny as fuck, bro. Pardon Sheldon.

And if this match like Mexico lose, we still go congratulate Mexico, bro. Go back to your if there is no point for you people in this World Cup. Just go back to your country and secure your jobs.

It's not my piano. No, no, be I'm a piano, bro. No, it's not football. It's not I'm a piano. Football, it's not xenophobia. No, you are not cut for that. You are not cut for it.

For me, I rarely perform when I'm doing those things like reacting because it's genuinely my that's why I try not to listen to music.

SPEAKER_02 27:38

Bro, bro, bro, bro, bro. Sorry, call you up, bro. Yeah, check out this video, bro. I'm not gonna lie, I laughed, I laughed, I laughed.

When he was broke, the girl was with him. Now he had little money, he left the baby, and the people leave. She's complaining, she's complaining on the internet. She's dragging him on the internet. Look at him again.

SPEAKER_03 28:18

My man stood there froze, bro. He froze.

SPEAKER_12 28:26

We have a baby, and you have a problem with the baby mama. Because it's Mr. A baby. And if you go to the pick up. I swear on anything, I swear on my mama. He's like, come speak.

SPEAKER_06 29:32

I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_12 30:02

I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_06 30:14

This did not make sense too. What is it doing that? This gets up in the US. What is it?

SPEAKER_00 30:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 30:22

This is not good. What's it do?

SPEAKER_12 30:29

Yeah. Yeah. You could have put outside good outside.

SPEAKER_06 30:42

Explain that.

SPEAKER_12 30:47

Explain explain. Explain, explain.

SPEAKER_06 30:50

You know what? You know what? You know, manifest that I miss you. I'm the best. I was telling you that I'm married, I'm married. You understand? Yeah, that is that they used to do I was I was I was in a relationship before. But I wrote for the relationship because they want to kill me.

SPEAKER_03 31:13

They want to kill me. Bro, that is the country life for Nigerians, bro. Yeah, that's because they want to kill me. That Billy they're gonna use kill me. That's what they think.

SPEAKER_04 31:22

Oh my god. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 31:24

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

I'm not p I'm not putting the judgment. You get me if I'm when I see and everything, I'm just watching the videos and everything, and I'm just like that. It's hilarious. Oh my god, like some other I know, I know, I know I shouldn't be watching that, boy. Listen, them people are hilarious, bro.

SPEAKER_04 31:46

That's hilarious, man.

SPEAKER_02 31:47

You get me, and everything is impromptu, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everything is impromptu, like they know, they know what to say, the reactions, and everything. Like, them people are gifted, you know. Sometimes I just gotta wish that sometimes they are not so much into money, yes.

SPEAKER_04 32:06

Like the way they the environment they're in, though. You get what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_02 32:09

Like everything, it seems like everything is like fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.

SPEAKER_04 32:12

Yeah, the environment they're in is a pressure, it's like a pressure courage. Like, you're there to create something to get something. So, you know how we are here freely just having a chat, laughing, blah blah blah, and whatever happens, happens, right? Because we have options, they see it as you have to make it, man. If you don't make it, then that's the end. They get me.

SPEAKER_02 32:31

But did you um hear about what's going on between him and the banch?

SPEAKER_04 32:37

Yeah, I saw the video of the banj's birthday, and he was there. This this all right, let me just say this, right? Whatever is happening right now, I don't know what is happening at the moment because obviously I'm not on the internet at the moment. Right. Whatever is happening to the banjo, the banj deserves it.

SPEAKER_02 32:56

Should we tell the people what so basically from Qatar's point that he was on his own, the banjo or his people asked him to come over and call it a car, yeah? So at the banj's birthday. So obviously, Qatar is the guy that's popping right now in Nigeria. For people that don't know him, he's he's an um he he's a streamer, a content creator, and everything. You get me? Bear in mind, his type of content, you might be into it, you might not be into it. It's an acquired taste sort of content. You get what I'm saying? But so that's what he's saying that he was told to come over and get a car. Because that's the new thing with Nigerians right now. You get me? Some some rich guy will tell you, oh, come and call her a free car and everything, and all this kind of shit. Promo. Cool. So he got there. Um the media was there, obviously. Yeah. Took photos, videos in front of a car that was packed there. Because for people that don't know the band, I think he has some sort of deal with some car company in Nigeria. You get what I'm saying? So they asked him, How do you feel about the band giving you a new car? You know, you say, Yeah, you know, sort of like praise the guy, innit? After that, once the media faced out, where's the car? No car. You got me? Then Sondare, whiskey's manager, right? Say, yo, listen, that khaki that you have, can you bring that khaki first, bruv? You gotta say, so his thing was, yo, I was on my own. You man told me to come get a car and everything. I came, but used me as promo.

SPEAKER_04 34:36

Yeah, sad man.

SPEAKER_02 34:38

And and he went in, cussing out the band, cussing out whiskey's manager. You get me. But the thing is, the highlight of the thing was there was a video of him and Sonia, who is whiskey's manager, and him kneeling on the floor saying, Oh, forgive me, forgive me, you know, everything that I'm saying about whiskey is just for promo to get his attention and everything. You know, I love whiskey and all this kind of stuff, right? He was like, the video is there on the internet. Yeah, yeah. Now, 24 hours later, my manager, shit talking my man, cussing out whiskey that has nothing to do with the situation, cussing out the manager who has something to do with the situation, and cussing out the bench.

SPEAKER_04 35:23

Yeah, uh listen, whatever the bench gets or hears, or what kind of in any form, he deserves it. Because the thing is that's what cloud chasing gets you. You clout chase, you clout chase, you clout chase, you finally get the wrong person as you try to use as a tool. Kate F is the last person on earth if I was a celebrity, I want to be seen next to you. Why though? Because the day I do something, this brother is gonna use me for content.

SPEAKER_15 35:56

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:57

Why do you want to why do you want to associate yourself with that that person? Now we know the issue and the story behind the whole David O, blah blah blah blah blah. Watch this. The day David O says or does something silly, this same guy will come out and embarrass David David O. I don't think so. We'll see. But just please guys mark this video.

SPEAKER_02 36:15

I don't think so because I think I think whatever he says, right, everyone saw what Davido did for him. So I think that that respect might still be there, no?

SPEAKER_04 36:25

Not with caterpillar. Everything to him is content, it's all about the money for him. Trust me, at some point in life, you just be like, ah, remember that video that guy said, catafigo mess, drug Davidos, he's gonna do it. It might not be this year, it might not be next year, he's going to do it. That's his nature. The guy is a volatile person and he does everything for content. So the badge deserves whatever embarrassment is getting. Absolutely. Because at the end of the day, you can't use people for PR just because you want to trend for whatever purpose or whatever reason.

SPEAKER_02 36:58

And also, I agree with you, and also someone like the banch and everything, yeah. Like these are legends and stuff, right? Like, why do you need that type of publicity?

SPEAKER_04 37:07

Because that's how Nigeria is.

SPEAKER_02 37:08

You know what I'm saying? Like, like what for?

SPEAKER_04 37:10

Forget me. For the businesses. Apparently, he's got his own. He wants to have, is he about to, or he has his streaming platform? He's trying to, so I get it. He's trying to get all the buzz around, you know, you want to. Then do it the right way, then. He wants the eyes, the ears. Do it the right way. The thing is now, if I've noticed something in life, it doesn't matter what country you're in, if you do something a certain way and the right way, you will get the right buzz. Like I've always said, I'd rather have hundred views of organic real people than a million views of people that can't shift or change anything for me. Bullshit, yeah. Yeah, do you know what I'm saying? So the branch is too old for that, but it deserves it. And shout out to someone like a Wiz. That's why Wiz just dip this for a second.

SPEAKER_02 37:50

Stays away from the bullshit.

SPEAKER_04 37:51

Just dip this for a second. The same guy, yeah, and I want someone like a Davido to pay attention because these guys, I know it wouldn't affect his pocket because of course he's a celebrity. Yeah. But David, think about it. This same guy is kneeling down in front of a supposed manager saying everything I said is fake, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Knowing fully well, he doesn't even mean it. He's just saying that for the sake of it. Same guy now is now going again to say that guy's an idiot, it's an idiot. If I was the video, I'll be like, ah, bruh. We can't trust someone like this, man. Like the guy's shape shifting. He's just shape shifting. How are you gonna do you think that someone like David Adam, they know, they know, but the that's why I said it's not gonna affect him that well or that.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

But but the thing is, but the thing is, right? They are doing the same thing that Drake is doing. You know what I'm saying? Pay your way through through the media and everything. Have those people quote unquote on your side.

SPEAKER_04 38:43

Yeah, of course. That's why it is, but that's why I said three weeks or two months ago. And I said, at the end of the day, David O is not just doing this stuff for Kate Fe as much as he's got the power to do it, but it's it's of course for him, it's a cashier, he's adding to his media bank, you know, his currency is getting bigger because every time Kate Fe goes anywhere, yeah, forever, Kate Fe is gonna bring Davido's name. Yeah, yeah. So if uh there's a there's a 12-year-old kid that does not like Davido or doesn't know nothing about David O, but he's a massive fan of um Kate Fe as a streamer, yeah. He's gonna go, who is David O? Yeah, let me go check who that person is. So obviously, it's a smart move for bigger artists to always use the guys, the content creators, or some even someone lower, or not to use the word beneath you, but someone just under you know that pyramid, use them because at the end of the day, they would be the one to gash you up. Do you know what a funny thing was when I was watching that whole thing?

SPEAKER_02 39:34

Yeah, that this dude obviously from his reaction that he had ulterior motives and and and he was fake, but then he's mad that someone else is fake, it's fake, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:50

That's why it just doesn't make any sense.

SPEAKER_04 39:53

Like how you upset at someone for being fake when you are being fake, like it doesn't get like it's so crazy, but that shows you how the industry is, yeah. But that's that's something they're all fake over there. Yeah, I can't. That's why I can't listen. I'm so gassed at the fact that he's been he's successful in what he's doing because that's me. I can compartmentalize things, I generally can. Him as a person, don't know like it. It's cut no, but I respect the fact that he's gr like literally, my man grinded his way to the top. What he conceives as the top, anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anything else, I don't I don't, I don't watch his thing, you know. If he does something with an artist that I respect, I'll watch maybe a bit of it, but just in general, me see Katfey, nah, I'm alright, bro. The guy is just just in a in a sense, and I know he doesn't mean to, he's become a nuisance to me when he's doing his thing because he's always like shouting, it's just too performative. Like some watch Shank, you know, Shank is being performative, but it's very palatable.

SPEAKER_02 40:54

You can on you can but here's one, it's but then a lot of Andreas will say that the reason why Shank's not popping like these other people is because he's oh Shank is popping, he's too cool.

SPEAKER_04 41:05

So Shank is popping, it's just that I don't have to train every day for me to be popping. Like Shank is doing things with like, for instance, the other time Shank was like in the Nike, uh, when Nike went to Nigeria and they did the can't remember what the event was. He was there, he was the streamer that the invited. Like he's doing things that personally, that's those are the rooms I want to be in. I don't just want to be called by some celebrity in the emo state, and one in the Lagos state, and I'll go there, they'll present me car, I mean a party asking silly questions. Bro, I don't I get it for what the world is like at the moment. It looks like you're popping, but bro, when you meet the real people popping, man, they're not they're not everywhere, they're just chilling. Yeah, they get into the right rooms, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 41:46

I hear that still. I I I I hear that talking about fake though, talking about fake. A lot of people accuse Davido of being fake, right? So, due to the insecurity thing in Nigeria, which we are praying for everyone involved, obviously, you know, because sometimes I look at some of them things and all that, I'm like thinking, what the fuck is going on? You know what I mean? So, you know, I kind of wish that things can change, but apart from prayer, man, people have to start putting in the work and everything, you get me? But that aside, people started accusing Davido of being fake. Yeah, because when the whole thing came out, shut up, he went on the internet, yeah, he he went on X, and this was what he posted. You know, he said, I can't lie. We entertainers with the fuck up, I wouldn't lie, including me, including myself, we need to speak up. There's too much injustice going on. Our country gonna go. They put my man in a grinder, bro, and they grinded him and everything, but I was looking at that thinking, bro, like say whatever you want to say about Davido. At least you're looking at the post and everything. He said, bro, including myself, because he realizes that he is he is talking from a place of privilege. You know what I mean? Like he has everything, none of this shit's gonna affect him and everything, yeah. But it takes a lot as well for him to come out and say, listen, including myself and everything, we need to do more. But why is it that Nigerians find the need to attack him instead of saying, you know what, bro? We respect you for that, though.

SPEAKER_04 43:46

I think or is it a situation of talking to cheap? No, it's not that. So, for a lot of people, the grife is with the elite, not just the elite, the politicians, and the politicians. Are the ones that control the country and the infrastructure and the whatever. And a lot of people see Davido as a politician. You get it? Because of his family background and who he's associated with. So it's kind of like bro. What are you talking about? You've not your people are part of the people making us feel this way. So what are you talking about? And that's what a lot of some of Nigel, some of the Nigerians are, anyway. You can tell. That's that's the tone they they they they're tweeting with or replying with. They're coming from a place of you are in that same boat, bro. So they're doing the same thing in a sense. So that's why a lot of people don't have they have an issue with it. For me, I just think it's selective virtue signaling to an extent. Because I know the past couple of weeks, people are coming out to bring back our children and stuff. I saw a lot of artists, which some people consider celebrities, getting involved. And I think one of my GOATs, Tiwa Savage, made a post and later on posted a link of a song or album, I can't remember. And people are like, whoa, she's using that for like Are you trying to promote Song or Saturday? You get me. So this is the thing. I've always said this. If you regularly don't talk about something, do not come and randomly start talking about something else. I disagree though, bro. And I'll give you a money. I'm a biggest, I'm I'm the biggest advocate for artists or celebrities speaking up for the people because I feel like their reach is way bigger than mine, that I'm not a celebrity. But what I don't like is you cheapening the fight. So for instance, we know that the country has not been working well for a very long time. But there's a lot of things these artists can dedicate their time and we don't know what they do in the background, I get it. But publicly, they can be the face of a lot of these things, but they don't want to. The reason why they've jumped on this bandwagon, in my opinion, is because they've seen how many people are talking about it. Like it's literally like scary to a stage, to an extent where they're like, oh, we need to talk now. Do you get it? I'll give you an example. If there's a child here and we are like, we're looking out looking after that kid, and every day we come in, there's a bruise, small bruise on the skin or on the body. And we know we see it, it's visible. Until the child starts breathing, that's when we're reacting to it. We should have reacted in the first place, anyway. When we saw a little bruise, we should have reacted and say, hey, we need to get to the bottom of this before this grows grows into something. And I feel like the artists or celebrities, like I said, I don't know what they're doing in the background, but publicly, it shouldn't get worse for them to come out. We don't need a situation where it has to be hashtag for you guys to get involved. It should be on a thing constantly. Yeah, yeah. I think it should be a constant thing. I'm not saying every day, obviously. If like if once a month you're reminding the government, yo, yo, what are you doing? That's 12 times you've done it. Think about it. That's 12 times in a year. That's more than enough.

SPEAKER_02 47:04

I I hear that, you know, I hear that. The only thing with that is I don't disagree with you. I don't disagree with you. Just showing the other card and everything. Yeah. A lot of these artists, especially the people that are still active in RFE, yeah. A lot of them, if that feed is all about um uh what's it called again? Freedom fighting and social justice and everything, yeah. Sometimes people start seeing you in that light. You get me? Okay, yeah. Sometimes people start seeing you in that light, and then it takes away from the other stuff that you do, which is music. That's how a lot of people see it. Like if you look at a good example, and and and I might be wrong, right? But whenever you hear about what's the name of this guy, oh my god. Um, this guy who he's a rapper, but he's a lawyer as well. He had this issue with VDM. Oh my god, he's his dad is the chief, he's one of the chief justices manager. You get what I'm saying? Fouls, a lot of people, people, some people don't know that that he's an artist, really. You know what I'm saying? Because every other thing about him, his content and all this kind of stuff, is either freedom fighting, social justice, or he's doing some sort of skate or whatever, like some sort of funny shit. Comedy. You get what I'm saying? So I'm not saying, please, I don't want people to think that I am saying that this artist should not be involved, but I'm just putting myself in the shoes of some of these artists that only think about their pockets and that only think about how they come across. You get what I'm saying? You know, so that's the reason why some of them move the way they move. Yeah, you get me? And then also the point that you raise and everything, I do feel like yes, don't wait till it's hot red before you jump out, but then at the same time, I think the movement also does need some of the prominent voices, you get me, some of the people that have the clout to get involved as well.

SPEAKER_04 49:07

Yeah, that's what we need. That's why that's what I'm saying. You know, it shouldn't be just this moment, it should be even if it's the smallest thing. Let's say some random kid was getting smacked up somewhere, I don't know, maybe being abused and stuff. You can still shed light to it, yeah or shed light on it. And I just think that they do this thing when it starts to garner a lot of momentum. Oh yeah, let's jump on it too. Oh guys, we all need to come together. It's like, brother, you should have you should have been doing this a long time ago. Do you do you think that they don't care?

SPEAKER_02 49:36

Because I I think I think some of them do care, right? I think some of them know what's going on. I think some of them do care. But for whatever reason, whether it's business purposes, relationship purposes, or whatever the case is, a lot of them just keep quiet. The only reason why I rate what David did is Davido has an uncle who who's a fucking governor. You get me? His family is who the family is. You get what I'm saying? Like, but for him to come out and say, bro, including myself, you know, I think that's a bit of accountability and everything. Now, I I understand the masses because when you're frustrated, yeah, I don't give a fuck, I'm frustrated, you know. I'm taking it out on whoever. You know what I'm saying? So I think that's how people feel. People are frustrated, people are angry, and people have a problem with the elite. Because in their mind, the elite is the problem. You know what I'm saying? And whether you're involved or not, they are giving my guy hell, um, Femi or Teddler. They're giving him hell. You know what I mean? Like my guy will post himself riding bicycle or whatever. Yeah, yeah. They will give him hell. Yeah, because the only person that I kind of feel like, and and I might be wrong, that I kind of feel like does not get a lot hell, maybe because he comes across cool, you know, he does this cool shit that he does, and then and then he he puts some cool music on it. Is this UBA guy? Umelu.

SPEAKER_04 51:24

No, he doesn't look cool. He's bruh. You get what I'm saying? He doesn't, he I promise he doesn't look cool.

SPEAKER_02 51:29

Like, like, like, but I don't see him getting a um the toy back. He does. That female today.

SPEAKER_04 51:35

He does because he tries to act, whoever is in charge of his Instagram try to be cool, relatable with the songs and stuff. He does get, he does get. I'm not gonna lie, yeah, and rightfully so. Uh this is this is what I've always said. If you're not gonna be part of the fight, try and take yourself out of the you know, just be out of the scene.

SPEAKER_02 51:52

Him, he never says anything.

SPEAKER_04 51:54

Of course, he never says anything. Why would he want to say anything?

SPEAKER_02 51:56

Him, he never says anything. He's part of the kebab.

SPEAKER_04 51:58

Yeah, of course. These people, they have their own world, they're in their own bubble, they really don't see anything unless, let's say, it's not their algorithm, bro.

SPEAKER_02 52:07

They bro, they see it, bro. But they only but they only see money.

SPEAKER_04 52:11

But what that's what I'm trying to say to you, they don't see the way you and I see it. That's what I'm trying to say. They don't see to that extent. Because if you look at the people they follow, the people they follow are not necessarily the people that post those things. That's it. The people you follow would tell you what your your algorithm will look like. Do you know what I'm saying? And what you get involved in or what you engage with. And these people don't engage with those things, but at the at the end of the day, as a as a celebrity, that's what it comes with, man. People would always come for you because you're at the top, it's just natural. You're at the top. There's always going to be people at the bottom looking up, going, yo, what are you doing? And um, hey, it's not just David Do. The video speaks, you know, back in the days, Bernard Boy used to use his music.

SPEAKER_02 52:52

Yeah, yeah, now my man keeps quiet now.

SPEAKER_04 52:54

At the end of the day, if you think about it, it's like, is it worth the thing? Is it worth the fight? Because nothing is changing. But for me, if I was an artist, I would probably look out for people more because I feel like, God forbid.

SPEAKER_02 53:07

Fab, you say it now, bro.

SPEAKER_04 53:09

Okay, I'll tell you the reason why. And that's why I say that's why I probably will. That's what I'm doing. It's not guaranteed that yet. These are the guys that actually would stream my music. So if there's no one alive anymore, people are so much in fear that they can't even pick up the phone and nothing is working well, bro. That's gonna affect my butt. Yo, that would that's gonna affect me. Now, if you're an international artist, yes, you probably wouldn't care about your homegrown. Let's say you're an artist that I have a big buzz in Nigeria, bro. You're praying for the country to get better every day because yo, the better it gets, the more comfortable my fans, the more comfortable my people hear my music. I want things to go well, you know, but anyway.

SPEAKER_02 53:49

It's tough though, isn't it? It's hard. It's hard. Because I'm just gonna say this then, then we jump out of it. Yeah, even though I do agree with you on that, yeah. I just feel like some of these people, it's just the business dealings that they have, the business relationships that they have, their managers will be like, listen, don't say too much, you know, so that you don't ruffle feathers and everything. That's just what it is, bro.

SPEAKER_04 54:11

That's that's one of the most important things that happen with those people in their circles, in it. That's what it is. Everyone's trying to protect themselves at the end of the day.

SPEAKER_02 54:19

So yeah, just one of them, bro. It's crazy. It's crazy, bro. Did you see that? Elon Musk, that's what you're just talking about. Elon Musk is a trillionaire, bro.

SPEAKER_04 54:28

Fucking hell. You know, you can share money to everyone in the world. Fucking hell, you can share. How much can you share?

SPEAKER_02 54:36

But that's a whole different world, bro. Yeah, that's a whole different world.

SPEAKER_04 54:43

That means he can live forever and still have money, bro. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 54:47

Shit, crazy, bro. I saw that today. I was like, ah damn.

SPEAKER_04 54:51

It popped up on my phone. I went.

SPEAKER_02 54:52

I was like, God damn. Talking about millionaires and trillion years, yeah. Did you see what um Shatterwale said? Shatterwallis said, yeah, I'm just gonna pull you up real quick, bro. Shatterwallet said that he gets paid a million dollars to perform in Ghana.

SPEAKER_04 55:15

I think he made a mistake, by the way. He meant a million CDs. I think you guys are just you think so, yeah. Maybe he made a mistake, bro.

SPEAKER_02 55:22

Let me find that video, bro. Let me find that video. And and I like Shatterwally though, I'm not gonna lie. I like Shadow Wall.

SPEAKER_04 55:28

My guy Shatterwale will make that kind of mistake now. Come on. I know, I know. How can he? How can come on? Shut up. Shut up. Shut up, shut up.

SPEAKER_02 55:36

How can he? Oh, where's that video, bro? I hate it when I whenever I want to find something that I can't find. There, there you go. Let's go.

SPEAKER_09 55:49

That you know, I just need to work on my stuff, you know. If I tell you, I can get paid one million dollars in Ghana. You go like, uh, how okay? I can't Ghana is a beautiful place where people understand the music culture, but it depends on who meet and how the programmers are to get those results. I didn't get rich anywhere, I got rich in Ghana. The reason is that the respect I have from political parties to ministers to you know organizers, like it's crazy for me in Ghana. Like anybody that calls me in Ghana gives me the respect they will give to Jay-Z and BRC. Facts. Anything I need for my shows are done properly, like basically everything. So I make so much money in Ghana that I've always seen myself as this international.

SPEAKER_04 56:53

You disagree? I agree with him. Shutters, my guy, I agree. Everything he said is true.

SPEAKER_02 57:01

So, what part do you disagree with? Uh uh, you see, like what part do you disagree with? I know that I know that you're being sarcastic.

SPEAKER_04 57:08

Yeah, I know that you're being sarcastic. I disagree with um Shatterwali because after listening to the video, he said I can. Okay, that's that changed my yeah, that changes everything. Yeah, it changes everything. So, Shatterwali, you know, at some point in life, we all wake up from dreams. We can't we can't sleep forever. Oh my god, can't sleep forever. You wake up now, one time you go wake up, bro. A million dollars.

SPEAKER_02 57:30

I agree with him. No one. Some of the money some of these people call sometimes. Yeah, I'm not thinking, guys.

SPEAKER_04 57:36

Do you guys really know what a million is? You do realize that when when you hear conversations like this, or when you hear like an um like a a sound bite like this, they're not talking to people like us. They're talking to people on the streets, those people that are not in the know, they don't know anything, or they're probably talking to promoters. Oh, yeah, absolutely. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 58:01

Because if I come out and say, yo, I get paid a million dollars, or I can get a million dollars, or 500,000, whatever, you get me. Now, if you're gonna come book me, you have to come career.

SPEAKER_04 58:10

Of course. But the truth is if you're talking to some guy in Kumasi that wakes up in the morning, turns on his radio, he listens to his local radio, sells his thing in his kiosk or in his little nice shack, you know, making a decent amount of money. He's not in the know. His one is I like Shatowale. Shotawale, female condo. Those are the guys that will go and camp in front of a canteen or in front of a vendor and be arguing in front of the. You know, no say Shatowale, Shatwale is a billionaire. And you're like, huh? It's like, yeah, trust me, these guys would be fighting and riding for Shatowale, bro. When an educated person walks past, oh god, it's not that's not how things work. They will punch you now. They'll be like, what do you know? You don't know nothing. Those guys, trust me, man. So when when I hear things like this, I know I'm not the one they're talking to. I just move on. They're not talking to me, obviously. Yeah, because I know I know better, so I guess uh yeah, is there anyone you think yeah, that gets paid up to a million dollars? No one is getting paid a million dollars in uh in in Afrobeat. Nobody, no one is paying. Aye, aye, we go, aye, aye, let's go. No one is getting paid. Nobody, nobody.

SPEAKER_02 59:33

I agree with you, I agree with you, you know, but some of those people, some some of their fans disagree with you. Because some of those people, the numbers that they throw about sometimes they're not fans, though, yeah. Like some of some of the numbers that they throw about sometimes, and they say, Oh, this person paid 300,000 for their chain. I'm like thinking, bro. Do you realize how much you're talking about, bruv?

SPEAKER_04 59:58

This person paid this for their ring, but they're right though, because the the they they are the accountants, so they were there when the guy was so bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:06

It's crazy. Some some of the money that these people talk about, but I do like Shatterwelly though. D did you hear the song Um Him and Sakoli? Yeah, I heard when you played earlier. I'll sick in it. It's good change, good tune, man. Good change. You know what I'm saying? Listen, I'm not gonna lie, yeah. Just seeing the both of them come back together and all that, right? I I I fuck with it. I like it.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:25

Yeah, the song is good though, I'm not gonna lie. It's not a bad song.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:28

You know what I'm saying? I like it. I'm not gonna play because of YouTube and everything, YouTube. Or I can play it and then just cut it out from YouTube, bruv.

SPEAKER_14 1:00:36

In it, yeah, you can.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:38

Yeah, I can definitely play anything. So if you're on Spotify or on Apple Music, you can listen to it. Yeah, let's go.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:52

Shout to my guy first class. They sample your song, bro. They sampled your song.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:43

Go check in everlasting. Shout out to Wamale and Snackody, YouTube now there, man. Yeah, you hear me? Shout out to first class, yeah, bro. I like that, I like that, I like that. You know what I mean? I like that, you know. On another note, Temp's manager, he's been going around doing interviews and stuff, right? And it made me kind of pause and think, because I honestly don't know the answer to this question. Yeah, and this is in regards to essence. If you are to ask, if someone asks you, where did essence pop first? UK, man. Is it Africa, US, or the UK?

SPEAKER_04 1:03:25

Yeah, it's the UK, bro. That's facts. Yeah, it's the UK, then then then America, then and you traveled back to Africa.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:33

But Moiwa would say is the US. Let's check it out.

SPEAKER_13 1:03:36

Oh call me, who be like, yo, what do you guys want? I'm like, by this time, everybody's anticipating me in Lagos. So this is the peak of anticipation. So it's like, yo, um, come to Oriental. Let's have a search on. Um, we went for the search on, we called it essence. Bro, that day was, I still remember that day, like it was yesterday. I remember what all of us wore, I remember everything. After we finished, just to come into the car, and just goes, oh my god, I did rub it. I just rubbed. I said, Timmy, the song you just recorded, the transcending song. I made them understand. I'm like, look, when I listen to it, it reminds me of like the elegance of ballroom dancing. Yeah, you understand? There's an regal element to the song that's because I'd heard some of his other songs, right? And I knew the album didn't have. I'm like, I don't, I and this is what I said. I said, I don't think Nigerians will appreciate it. But if this song crosses over, it's going.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:38

I said, let me insert myself and be the main character. Timmy, if this brother, brother, and and and trust me, Donovan One is a guy that I really rate. Yeah. But come on, man, let's stop lying. You didn't tell that to Timmy. You all left that student and say, you know what? If it makes the cut, it makes the cut, innit? Didn't tell no Timmy that. Oh anyway. You know why, you know why this would fly off, this lie, in my opinion. Again, it might be right. I don't know. But for me, I'm convinced that's not true. That's not what he said. I you know why it's to fly off because it's now a success story. That's one thing about success stories. You can bro, he can say, Oh, that day we went through a window, we jumped out. People are wow! Because the song is a success.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:31

Success. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're calling my man cap? You think it's capping?

SPEAKER_04 1:05:36

I didn't say that.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:39

Yeah, you see, yeah, that's what you just said.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:41

I never said that.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:42

What did you say then?

SPEAKER_04 1:05:44

Oh, I said he's right. You don't need another liar. I mean, sorry, buddy.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:54

So so I guess the key, because from everything I'm hearing, I guess the key is for you to do a song. That Nigerians are not gonna appreciate, and and the the it pops off in the diaspora first, and then it can go back to Nigeria now.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:10

I guess that that is the that's that is the key though. That's not it's not just songs, it's anything anyway, because the average Nigerian person loves a good validation, especially from their colonial masters. Oh, they love it so much. So if you are Nigerian and you're doing something really well, no one knows you, no one cares about you, and you start to pop somewhere and they say, eh, something, your name is something, something that it's very much like Nigerian, bruh. Nigerians will start to fluctuate, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:42

Or is it that the Nigerians, because what I've noticed, yeah, when it comes to this thing we call Afro-Bez, is we have two different camps, yeah. We have the camp in Nigeria, they want a certain type of music. You know what I mean? They they want a certain type of sound, yeah. Then we have obviously us that are here or in America, wherever, right? Where we appreciate that sound, yeah, but then we are also open to something different.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:14

Yeah, because you get my point, yeah, and I get your point.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:17

So I think that's probably it. Now, when the ones in Nigeria hear this and see the way we are reacting to this song, they're probably thinking, yo, what's in that song that we are not hearing? And then they want to go hear it, if that makes sense. Yeah, so it's probably that.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:33

Nah, it's formal. Trust me. I'm I'm Nigerian, I know how this works, bro. These guys don't care about a lot of things, but as soon as it starts to pop up somewhere, suddenly you see everyone jump into it. It's just that's how they are. It's just that that's the thing about Nigerians, bro. It's just they don't you go off, do your thing. If you blow up from it, I promise you, Nigerians will come and celebrate you. That's it.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:59

But everybody loves a success story, though, isn't it?

SPEAKER_04 1:08:02

You know what I mean? Burner Boy, whiskey, everyone. Not every whiskey, because whiskey was celebrated in Nigeria properly, but even your burner boy, all of these other artists, Thames as well. You know what I mean? You can be doing your thing, you have your small pocket of fans, cool, cool, cool. But as soon as the Western people hear you, love you, take you in, giving you food, shower you, buy you clothes, and all that. See your Nigerians, uh is that your new house? No, I'm just living with them. Ah, why do you sound so different? Uh I'm Nigerian. Hey, you're Nigerian, come, come, come, brother. I've been here for past how many years? You see me, we've spoken. You did not tell me to come suddenly because Nigerians are funny people, man. But yeah, that's all it is, man.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:47

Nah, nah, it's cool though. I mean, listen, essence is essence, bro. You get me.

SPEAKER_14 1:08:51

I still think the UK blew the song up, to be fair. Yeah, you think so, yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear that though. I hear that. I hear that.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:59

Bro, let's get into the record beef, bruv. I had to go drink some water. I'm not gonna lie to you, bruv. You guys say I had to go drink some water and everything, yeah. But let's get to this record beef, bruv. Yeah, Queen Muddy and her former label. Is it formal label or her label? Because the label is saying you still owe us. But now she she in she's in bed with a new label, k KFMD. Yeah, right? Her formal label is um J T O N, I think. J T-O-N, something like that. You go I'm saying, so they are in some fracas, if I will use the word, yeah. Everybody was excited to see her drop a new music with Zinoliski and say what you want to say about Zinolisky. I think he's a very talented guy. Unfortunately, he was in the situation that he was in, but that's that's another conversation. So they dropped the music, and the next thing we saw, JT ON clipped it of the internet. You know what I mean? She came out there talking or whatever, but then now the whole conversation is coming out, and we are now seeing papers and everything because they are in court at the moment. So Queen Maddy's thing, just in a nutshell, she is saying that she was poached as a minor. She was 16 years old at the time. That was when she was signed. And now she's an adult. She feels that she has been taking advantage of an order. You go what I mean? Because she probably has looked at her contract, or like new labels always do, look at your contract and everything, and tell you that your old contract is fucked up and your old label is robbing you, i.e. Rock Nation, they are very good at it. Yeah? So, but her formal label is saying nah you still owe us some money. You go, I mean, so you have to pay the money back. You go, I mean, so we're gonna take the money from your shows, we're gonna take the money from some of these other things that you're doing, but we want our money back. You get me? But now the problem is because this whole situation is still in court. Where are the receipts that she she owes you guys? Apparently, no receipts have been showed yet. You go I mean, so at this very moment in time is she say, they say, she say, they say. But we've seen this movie so many times. But what do you think about this, considering from what she's saying that she was a minor?

SPEAKER_04 1:11:51

Yeah, of course, she's right. She goes signed as a minor. But the truth is, I'll be honest, I'm not on an I'm I used to be, now I'm always gonna be on the label side, man. Because these people pull a lot of. Even as a minor? No, no, no. I'm taking that out of the situation. I'm saying, as a minor, of course, 100%, you should definitely have like a type of contract that would help that minor when they become an adult. So that contract can be oh, once once you turn 18, we can revise this contract. That's something you can do because obviously that person's a child, and also it's not the person, not the child signing, they're gonna have a guardian or whatever.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:29

And that right there is my question. Like, who actually signed the contract? Where's the guardian? The parents, like, you know what I'm saying? I have so many questions to this.

SPEAKER_04 1:12:38

Yeah. Uh to be fair, I'll be honest with you guys, I'm not gonna lie. I don't care about this situation, I care about what exactly the situation is about. Like, I don't King Madion, because again, these people will never tell us the truth. Madam will say this one happened, this one. They tried to somewhere in the middle. Yeah, exactly. I care more about the fact that artists need to still learn. Once you sign a contract, you should know what you're signing for and into. Because you never know.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:07

But sometimes, bro, if some of these artists are hungry, if some of these artists are desperate and everything, they've never seen this type of money before. Even bro, even with this one, yeah, the money's just stupid money, though. You get what I'm saying? Like, I believe I saw somewhere $38,000. Which kind of makes me wonder sometimes. What kind of contract are these people signing in Nigeria, bruh? Because yo, I signed this person, I signed this person. Like, are they really seeing the money? Or okay, I'm gonna sign you, I'm gonna give you a house in Lecky, or rent a house for you in Lecky, or whatever. You get what I'm saying? Because I believe I saw someone, I don't know who it was on the internet, saying that the house that he is living in was paid for by Olamide for two years. You got what I mean? I came across that clip on social media and everything. I don't know where it is and everything, but I saw that. So I always ask that sort of question what's our contract really are these people signing in Nigeria? How does the record labels in Nigeria actually work?

SPEAKER_04 1:14:07

Yeah, well, there's money as they say, oh a Lego, meaning there's money in Lagos, bro. So these people depend on shows, features, like her song, one of her most prominent songs featuring Benson. Benson was paid $30,000 for that feature. So there you go. You know, that's what a record label can do for you. You know, pay someone else $30,000 just for a feature. Hey, listen, I feel like I'm within every right if I'm a record label owner. Do you want to recoup? It's a loan. What the heck? I'm changing your life for God's sake. You know, and now the only thing I can have an exception to is like a slave deal. That's kind of crazy because there's no need. Make sure the deal benefits both of us somehow. But most importantly, benefits me more because I'm the one giving my putting the money down. The situation is silly. Again, like I said, we've seen this so many times. You think all of these other artists, young artists that have been signed as a minor, if we don't, some of them we don't even know their stories. But because King Maddy is pretty much she's famous to an extent in the Nigerian scene, that's why we're hearing about this.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:16

But it is wrong though for labels to poach artists, underage artists like that. I think it's so wrong. Yeah, but okay, what it is is especially especially the fact as well that some of these people who knows how educated their parents are, or the people that they have around them, the label will say, Don't worry, we are gonna prove um provide a um provide you with a lawyer and everything. The lawyer's probably working for the label. You go, I mean, tell you some bullshit. You want to be famous, you know what I'm saying? You want some of the money, wherever the case is, you you sign away your life, and then you find yourself in this situation.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:54

I'm uncomfortable with them leaning so much on the on the rage thing, and I knew she had to use that. That's like an ammunition. She had to use that because that's where you buy sympathy, you buy all of this attention, and people are, oh, them evil people. Because um suddenly now, yeah, you know, you're a minor, but when the music dropped and all this stuff, we're all basking in the idea of oh, she's young, she's gonna be a star in the future. It's just like life is life is unfair, man. It's just crazy, bro.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:26

Label problems are always gonna be there, they're fair. Like, for example, what's his face? He just got dropped by um his label as well. Um and I like him, T.I. Blaze.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:42

T.I. Blaze. I don't think he got dropped, I think he left one of the other because he's got what's the name of his new record label? Um yeah, he left. He left, sorry. He left his record label, but yeah, it happens. Dapper music, well done to you guys. Um, I guess his contract was over. There's no point of renewing it, you know. And Dappa music is still one of the best things to happen to Afrobeats, in my in my opinion, in the last five years, because it's helped a lot.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:11

But they've had a lot of um, they've had a lot of scandals. A couple of scandals.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:16

Um, just a few people, but again, you know how most of these Nigerians are. They leave a place that I start to say stuff about it. But hey, no one remembers how Dappa took people from the streets to give them a voice, kind of, and help this artist with exposure, with time, patience. There's a lot, man. But they see DAPA as the bad guy, I guess. But for me, Dapper is not a bad guy. Because like I say, in the last five, six, yeah, in the last five to six years, Dapper is possibly one of the most important cog in the wheel that we call Afrobeats on the machine. So too many stars, man. Too many, uh, too many moments. Yeah, too many moments, man. I hear that. Shout out to Dappa.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:00

I hear that though. I hear that. Listen, hey, read your contracts. That's what I'll say, bro. Facts. I don't know any of these people. I can't vouch for any of them. Yeah, fact. You got you go. I can't vouch for label, I can't vouch for artist, bro. You get what I'm saying? We just gotta look at your situation and be like learn from it, you got what I'm saying, and I just hope people just learn from it. Yeah, you gotta say, big facts, yeah, bro. Fam, before we get out of here, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:18:28

Ruga Ruga, don't try that nonsense again. See, don't try. But first of all, I don't think anyone was asking, oh, where's Ruga's music? Brother, don't try that again. Oh, man, dropping a statement telling us the reason why Ruga's not dropped. Oh, God, did we ask? Hey, we didn't ask now, Ruga, we like you the way you are. Saying the reason he didn't drop music from the statement. Um, you said that is false flag. No, I'm I'm paraphrasing now. He's saying he had emotional distress. No, not no, no, no, not him. Ruga Ruga. Ruga, not him having emotional distress. No, I know. No, he said someone is suing him for emotional distress. That's what I'm saying. So that's affected him, something like that. Yeah, that's what's affected him, and it stopped him from making music. Oh god, get back in the house. Lock your door, it's raining. Is it what nonsense is it? False flag, yeah. Oh my god, or if you think for attention, bro. No one asked, you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:29

Listen, bro, I've got said this is the thing right here, yeah. We know it's been a while since Ruga dropped some new music. I just saw you touring everywhere, bro, just a couple weeks ago. Bro, no one asked. I just saw you touring a couple weeks ago, bro. For some time, Ruga was caught up in a series of personal challenges after someone he dated decided to sue him for allegedly emotional stress and damages. That chapter is now behind him. A new chapter begins, a new energy emerges. I guess the new single will be Energy Emerge. You gonna mean new music drops.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:16

There you go. What nonsense is this? What nonsense is this?

SPEAKER_02 1:20:23

New music drops this August. We would like to sincerely thank everyone who remained patient and continue to support Ruga throughout the silence, bro. Fam, you you were not silent at all, bro.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:38

Ruga, so you're writing this in third person. First of all, Ruga, stop it, stop this.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:42

You can understand it, bro. Mama just sat there. Listen, mama just sat there, yeah. Use the typewriter, bruh. Let me just type this shit. You can understand it. Like, bro, what we even do, bro.

SPEAKER_04 1:20:53

I didn't ask first. Two, I forgot that because bro, I heard your music not too long ago. I saw you, I saw you tour it just last week, bro. Yeah, let's get it. And three, we know how the scene is. If you truly got sued, everyone would have known about it. Brother, just say, hey guys, I'm going to drop music. This bro, is this how low that these guys are?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:14

They've got into a man just said this is a new rollout. Mama just said what he said, and then the next line is new music.

SPEAKER_04 1:21:22

So, this is how low that place has gotten. That we have to use things like this for rollout.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:26

A new a new energy emerge, you gave me this.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:34

This is like a movie script, bruv. I'm telling you, you know, Dak Dak Shabalela.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:42

Listen, shout out to Ruga though. Not gonna lie. I just saw that shit. I could not stop laughing, but then you know the one that made me laugh. Follower. Apparently, someone except Fuller on Snapchat. Yeah. Good afternoon, Follower. I'm your great fan. Not only fan, air conditioned. Yeah. Please tell your brother in Manchester to stop sleeping with my wife. If he doesn't stop, whatever he sees after that will be the end of his life. This has destroyed my home. Tell your brother Wheezy in Manchester to stay away from my wife. Unless I will set them up and die together.

SPEAKER_04 1:22:37

Okay, welcome to another episode of Things That Didn't Happen. I'm tired of this. That's why I'm already out of the Afro Beats, bro. I'm not gonna lie. Recently, I've just found everything a drag because these guys just make up stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:56

Bro, they're just making up stories at this point, bro. For like even posting it in to be what? It's so transparent as well. Like you just look at thinking, thinking, bro, you really you really think we are smart. You really think we are so dumb? You really think that your fans are dumb that they're just gonna swallow this? Oh no, some did and just run with it.

SPEAKER_04 1:23:17

Some people are like, ah, you know, see what shut up, switch your phone and go to bed.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:21

You gonna say, like, what are we even doing, bro? Some of those people just sit at a round table with their team and be like, yo, how can we what are we gonna post and everything to kind of trend a little bit? Fam.

What the heck is going on here in third person, you know? Ruga, stop this.
