If you have your money, ha kunam tonezaka ku manipulate kw nya relationship. The celebrity culture yami tanda mone is you take over my shayako.

I was like, all right, it's okay.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

It's you're you know, I was just trying nini yango.

SPEAKER_02

My whatever, like, what was the hardest thing or something that happened that you didn't expect to happen there? Something that happened that you didn't expect to happen. Something happened, or like yo, I didn't see that coming.

SPEAKER_05

Oh my god, wait, lambda blunderza Idris, because blunder is an Idris. Oh my god, what is going on? Because one moment we're on stage, the next thing you know, Idris. You go audience cool, hyping watu, and oh, and attention divided, sis, you know? Some of the audience wako focused cool, and some wako huko and we are in a record in the condition on B E T and MTV. Like we are live.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but that's crowd work.

SPEAKER_05

I know, but then I didn't see that coming.

SPEAKER_02

So I was like, Whoa, so you know, the best I feel like the best way to do that is of course there's a script to follow, but you improvise, you know. You know, like just navigate, try to wear the, you know. Because one thing I've realized about events, production, and these things, nothing ever goes exactly as planned.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

So anyway, like in the hai kuambaya at the end of the day, but we did our part. Um, by the way, um, you and you should have a lot of negative comments from the audience Instagram na me tandaoni, and everybody was like, yeah, hosts woman disappoint nani. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But people are always talking though.

SPEAKER_05

People are always talking. Like ine, hai nyawegu to kya kwangu, ni mefanyakazi i kinda to that extent. Okay. Combine me kwasasani madowtuana fanyadi interview and Eliza, you know, how embarrassing it was.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, it was a big event for Tanzania.

SPEAKER_05

It was.

SPEAKER_02

That's why I think people were so keen to being critics on the event. I feel like when what you you remember how Zanziba was? Like after the event, everybody was talking about it.

SPEAKER_05

I know, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So wait, what was the biggest like pressure you felt? What what's something you were you felt pressure to do? Like the biggest pressure on boy in a nervous state.

Who I knew from the beginning, Nachonge, I write everything. Oh my god, Alien. I'm sorry, I write everything. Whoa. I write everything. And guess what? Nasa How King.

SPEAKER_02

Keep it too. Yeah, because I feel like when it comes to being on stage, you just write the point and then you learn to improvise.

SPEAKER_05

That's your way of life.

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Your way is writing and forgetting it and being on stage, right?

SPEAKER_05

I don't care, bro.

SPEAKER_02

That's so good though. But I feel like for me, even for me, um, on the side of negativity on the internet, I feel like I've been managing it. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I've been doing alright.

SPEAKER_05

Though at first in a quango.

SPEAKER_02

Of course. At first, uh if you feel like, why do people hate me? You know? You're like, why do you hate me? What did I do to you? You know what I mean? But um, as you keep on going, you realize these people don't know you. These people feel entitled to know you because you uh of what you do, maybe. You know, a lot of people tend to have this uh character of knowing what you do.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah. One thing I woke say, Larry, ni, you know, some people they go beyond and create a fake account just to, you know, throw shade.

SPEAKER_02

Oh. Yeah, nih, but that's like that's 2020, 2021 time.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and like because just so you know, when you throw shades that go, some of us to nafung your profile, and we're like, okay. So like, why would you even do that?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I I I um I feel like some people just have. A lot of time on their hands.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So when you have a lot of time in your hands, you start making dumb shit or some dumb decisions. So when I say not gonna idle mine is a devil's workshop. No, of course. If somebody's busy doing their own shit, working hard, they wouldn't have time to throw shade.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, and who are gonna you was like uh that I'm like but but the thing is uh no shade to my haters, man.

SPEAKER_02

I love my haters. You know, they they're always talking about me, and that's good publicity. But actually, there's no bad publicity, actually. Good or bad.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah, like you still until when it's just a nikikawa family, like and and trust me, Alia.

SPEAKER_02

As bad as being unless you've done a mistake for real, that's bad publicity. Because if you haven't done any anything wrong and people just talking bad about you, that's also good publicity.

SPEAKER_05

No, but you know, Sean Oshan kwambia familiazeto.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You know, like our family wakumbali.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Umakwaga kama in zakwagwali. What are you doing? Yeah. Maybe it's true. Maybe it's not, maybe it's this, maybe it's that. And the relatives, na the friends, na what you are when you could say dear code, here's what you know what one thing I've even told my parents.

SPEAKER_02

Like I even sat down with them. I remember telling them that um guys, do you love me? Do you trust me? Yeah, with this line of work, people are going to come for me. They're going to say stuff about me, they're going to do stuff just to compromise my career and my name. And I told them that if you ever feel like you felt doubt in you've doubt if you felt like you're starting to doubt me, please call me. I'll come, we'll talk about whatever you're worried about. But I told them, never believe the internet. What I do online is my work. And what people say, people will always say stuff.

SPEAKER_03

You'll always say.

SPEAKER_02

And the thing is, the first time I got backlashed on something, I don't want to talk about it, but uh I told my mom, and my mom was like, son, they don't know you. I know you, and I know you're not that person, so don't worry about it. I was like, yo, my mom gave me a go ahead. Y'all nigga don't mean shit. Oh, yeah. For sure. For real. And sometimes haters have just misconceptions. I've met people who came to me, of course, they were a little bit tipsy and drunk, I think. And they're like, Sean, I used to like you, then I hated you. Then now I like you again. And I'm like, so apparently haters sometimes turn into fans and people who love your work.

SPEAKER_05

Actually, most haters are fans. Technically, I guess. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, let's talk about Zanzi Ball. I was there too, actually. Guys, I was the red carpet with Trace Awards. So it was an amazing experience. A lot of people so knew me from that as well. A lot of my new followers came from that event as well. Shout out to iRock and Trace. Uh, I always have a good time working with them. So on my side, the public interview.

I said, I was looking for everything, just trying to like adjust get to know some of the crew I'm gonna be working with. Uh-huh. The time flew. Now it's already 5 p.m. and I haven't showered. I I told them, yo, I want to go go catch a shower real quick and come back. And yo, there's no time. We bought your suitcase. Guys, guys, man. So I didn't have. So what I did was I had a towel on my suitcase. Oh. I went to the bathroom. I paid, I paid, I paid, um, who did I pay? I paid the worker there, the lady there. And she was like, oh, you can't shower in here, oh you can't. I'm like, ma'am, I got 10k right now. Take that. Please, please watch the door while I at least sponge myself for some seconds.

SPEAKER_02

Damn.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I feel like uh money does play a big, big, big part in um when you're dating somebody. Of course, you shouldn't be in a relationship if you're not in a as a man, for me, I wouldn't advise a guy to be in a relationship, like a really committed relationship with somebody if you're not there where you want to be in life. I mean, there's cases where people uh uh uh get married with somebody and then they hustle and they make millions. Yeah, that's usually the case. But for me, with the way I was brought up, I was brought up to to be a gentleman, to be to learn your responsibilities as a man and make sure you uh you align with those responsibilities before you commit to something huge. So yeah, those that's the that's how I was raised, and that's what I stand for. So I believe you have to be stable, you have to have your shit together before committing to somebody's daughter. And yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Have you ever quite ignored Namonamke because manje. Manje.

SPEAKER_02

Manj Manje. Mulla. Okay. Mulla. Yeah, of course. There's some cases where I feel like um I wasn't doing enough because I just didn't have money. And um, yeah. So it wasn't getting ignored per se. It was just like she wasn't um very intrigued. So okay, it's ignored. It's ignored. Yeah, it's ignored. So yeah, I've been ignored a couple of times because of of money.

SPEAKER_05

Of money.

SPEAKER_02

And uh when you don't have money and people don't know you don't have money, even when you when you walk in a room, like nobody's gonna pay attention.

SPEAKER_05

Of course.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. So, and you get a lot of disrespect just because you don't have Mullah and everything. And it's it's okay. And one thing about me, even if I ain't if I even if I got money, you wouldn't know. I mean, you might see a little bit of things there. But you wouldn't be like, oh, he got money for real. Now, like, even if you look at me. There will be signs. There will be signs?

SPEAKER_05

There will be signs if I become rich.

SPEAKER_02

I I'm pretty sure I look like a casual guy right now, Jimba. Just like going into life and stuff. And but uh I like to keep that part of my life really, really private. Because I want to control that. I want to control my private life. Who I date, who uh I'm in love with or whatsoever, who what I'm making my business, I want to keep that private. I'm gonna talk about my business in the future.

SPEAKER_05

Would you prefer if she's also private about you?

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I would appreciate if we both agree on privacy to some standard. I'm not saying people are not gonna know who she is or they're not gonna know um if I'm dating or not. No, people are gonna know I'm dating. Of course. Yeah, but um they're not gonna know our business. Like if we go on a date, we're not gonna post. Like we might we might have pictures, then we post maybe in the future. Like, like, like we don't post in real time. We're just confusing the people. No, but we don't let people see us coming. You get me? I like a private life, man. It's beautiful, it's it's amazing.

SPEAKER_05

There is a difference, by the way, between private and secret.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, there's the big difference.

SPEAKER_05

Very big difference. Yeah, I like private.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, secret is lying, technically. Okay, trying to lie. I don't want to lie to anybody. I just want to have a private.

SPEAKER_05

You've never cheated before?

SPEAKER_02

Cheated? I've only had one girlfriend. So technically, I've cheating is not a vocabulary to me. What are you doing? It's true. I've only had one girl. Everybody knows that. This about me. You don't believe me? Wow. Did you have to take a loud sip like that? You're being dramatic. I've only had one girl.

SPEAKER_05

Have you ever had like a so you know, like someone that you'd wish to have a relationship with? Have a relationship with.

SPEAKER_02

I've done. I've I've wished that, but it's always something in between. Um uh maybe the distance. Maybe um what else? Usually maybe religion. You know, everything, you know, you end up falling in love or falling for somebody who's who is not in the right box you're supposed to be in together. So maybe they're they're far away from you or within a different uh belief. Those things play a big part in a relationship, whether you like it or not, gang. It's a sad truth. Even if you because like if you're dating somebody and you guys are serious and you're seeing a future together, you have kids, marriage, religion matters.

SPEAKER_05

Religion does matter.

Now, okay, now I have to do this with her without our support, without the support of our family. And doing something big as a wedding or um like finding a partner you're gonna spend the rest of your life with without the blessing of your family, it's kind of a bad luck type thing, you know. I don't believe that, you know. As an African, I feel like families should give blessings to people who leave the family to be dead.

Ila wewa me pata opportunity ya ku soma mduguango, umefika chuma ka wa kwanza umechanga nyikiwa gabisa you wana drop school?

SPEAKER_02

To pursue music.

SPEAKER_05

To pursue music, to pursue wigizaji? No. Come on. Unaizo kafanya mzikiwako ako, ilo siya chy shule. Because ia education, itakusa idea. Na maranyingi education to neza, cause weng yue to tuli chosomia, maybe had to ki apply in real life, but education si you to ku ku apply kazi. Education is all about knowledge upstairs, up here. Una ad kitu.

SPEAKER_02

No, but I'd like to um put your mind in uh on another perspective of this thing, you know. You know, um I'ma use myself as an example. Of course I've I I've I I've I'm done with school, I did everything, uh I graduated and everything, right? But I always tell people this. Uh if you school is to build your mind, you get me? To build the sharpness of your critical thinking. This is basing on my analogy and uh analytic like experimentation I've done, at least on this, or just asking people questions and how they view these things, right? I believe um school, college, uni, everything, right? The education system basically is to build your sharpness and your critical thinker of analyzing a problem and trying to solve it. So if you are studying in the sense of, I wanna be, I'm studying, I'm studying, I want to get a job. I don't think you should do that personally. When you do that, you'll be disappointed when you're done studying and there's no jobs.

SPEAKER_04

You get me?

SPEAKER_02

You'll be disappointed and you'll be like, I did this, now I'm I'm employed in in the cafe. Listen, man, because you were do you were approaching the the challenge and the game wrong. In my opinion, if you're studying something, just learn how to solve problems. Learn how to solve a certain problem in your community and monetize that. It's not easy as I'm speaking right now, it's definitely not easy at all. Actually, it's very, very difficult to try to solve problems. Very difficult. That's why a lot of people don't do it. But if you're in school, sometimes school just doesn't work. A lot of people have dropped out and become successful. True. We've seen that. True. A lot of people I look up to also as me, uh, they've dropped out and they're like, I'm pursuing this. And why do they drop out? Because they they've sat down and run the whole like how do I say protocol or the numbers, and they've like sat down and really processed that. Oh, I really want to pursue this. They didn't guess. They didn't guess. A lot of people guess, oh, I want to try, I want to try music. I wanna try content create. Don't try.

SPEAKER_05

Don't try.

SPEAKER_02

Don't fucking try. If you're doing it, you better fucking do it.

SPEAKER_05

And now when yangbao, they try. Actually, I want to plan.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05

But the ones among, let's say, uh watchyu and bao, I'm a dropout school, uh ni watchwambau, ni my genius, by the way. Because they knew earlier on nini wanataka kunya maishao. Una leva. And they made a plan. I would do this, I'll do this, nanita fika hapa. And they did. But if I walkyo, you know, blink of an eye. No, no, no. No.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, it takes years to build wealth.

SPEAKER_05

So, kwa nini wewe, ukae, nakuangalia, yeah, celebrities, my shao, and you want to apply your life, kwa ku we about how go when you opposed, but you get it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I feel like, I feel like uh just to like to leave it in uh in a good stand, Kwanzaa, don't take this the wrong way. Nobody's trying to judge you or tell you what to do with your life. I even tell the people who listen to the show. We're literally just giving you our opinions on things. You know? I might be wrong to your eyes, I might be right in somebody else's eyes. Even the same with Alia's opinion on things, right? But bottom line is be committed. Nothing successful comes handed to you. You gotta fight for it, you gotta live it, you gotta breathe that. A lot of people who go into something, they feel like, oh, buy them, after one year, two years, I'll be good. If I do seriously, I'll be good. You might be, you might be lucky. Maybe that that time luck was on your side and that happened. But that isn't the right way of looking at things. First of all, when you get success way too fast, it's bad. If you get fame way too fast, that that's bad. That's bad. They're gonna go out the same way. Unless you have to you have a good team. Unless you have a good team, because fame can get to you, money can get to you. It gets to everybody at some point.

SPEAKER_05

And let me tell you one thing. Adding on to that, just so you know.

SPEAKER_03

Bro, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

Fame, yeah, don't play with the fact that on stage, na what to thousands of people are screaming his name. You know Kakalia gives you your TV, okay. Yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_02

The thing is, Alia, I feel like how we were brought up to life, how we were raised really affects that. True. A lot of people, especially when you when you grow up in some somewhere very not well natured, uh a well-natured home, it gets to affect how you respect and treat people on your success.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah come out and you don't bring me peace. Love is peace.

SPEAKER_02

For sure I need to have that for you to but uh green light love man such an anomaly bro what is love to you love to me is um okay I like to phrase it in how I see love. How when I see these things in a woman I believe they have love for me. Again so I want to define love in like a general term because I haven't I can't generalize love. I for me I'll just put it in my perspective and I'll make it personal to me. So love to me is respect. When I see a woman respecting me that's a big sign that they in some way or form. Whether it's it's uh like a relationship or friendship or just evil close people. You know um love to me is um communication. You know communicating with somebody and it's easy to communicate it's easy to to tell them your personal things and they don't judge you. It's easy to say the insecurity you have and they'll see you and they'll accept them and they'll or they'll they'll they'll just let you know you're okay. You know the the bad things you see in yourself is usually not the case. It's usually not the case in how people see you. Sometimes that's why when you take a picture you say I look so bad but when other people look like oh my God you look damn gorgeous here. So sometimes the way you see yourself in the mirror is not usually how people see you. So love to me is trust it's a peace of mind you give each other you get me so love to me is also being good to each other you know when you're good to another person they sense that and they return the favor. You know what I'm saying? So yeah that's in a nutshell I feel like that's love to me. And whenever like I'm I'm I'm I'm talking to somebody and I want to be serious I usually try to be an observer on those things but before I let you go Alia I wanna I wanna know how you plan to navigate this year.
