Chika UwazieHOST
Yeah.
Chika UwazieHOST
And also, I, you know, wanna talk about, 'cause earlier we talked about you being pitted against artists, and one of them is Tems, right?
FaveGUEST
Yes.
Chika UwazieHOST
Um, and I'm curious, is there any, like, through line of why you think they're consistently comparing you to Tems? Is it 'cause of visibility? Do you think it's something else?
FaveGUEST
I think it's the voice.
Chika UwazieHOST
Mm.
FaveGUEST
I don't know why people are comparing.
FaveGUEST
Could be anything.

Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj.
Charlamagne Tha GodHOST
You got Burna Boy.
Charlamagne Tha GodHOST
We just was playing Tems, okay? Nigeria has spent years showing the world that there's so much more to that country than the stereotypes people have about it, and then here come these six individuals doing romance scams, allegedly.
Charlamagne Tha GodHOST
Okay? Do you understand how much that has to piss off other Nigerians? Somewhere this morning, there is a Nigerian man sending a completely legitimate business email, and somebody is looking at that email rubbing their chin like, "Hmm, I don't know." Okay? Some Nigerian brother is on a dating app right now trying to genuinely meet somebody, and the woman is nervous waiting to be asked for money, but that's how stereotypes work, okay? One person does something, and somehow everybody who looks like them or comes from where they're, they're from gets thrown into it Don't become somebody else's confirmation bias, okay? People already got ignorant ideas about certain groups, and they just waiting for something to happen that makes them feel like they're right, okay? They don't care about the millions of Nigerians who wake up every morning and go to work, raise their families, and don't scam nobody.
Charlamagne Tha GodHOST
They're gonna see this story and say, "See? I told you, all them scamming ass Negroes Karesha was talking about are from Nigeria.

I just knew that Tems was on the record.
Steve DedeHOST
Then the day I knew who-
Ayomide TayoHOST

Steve DedeHOST
... to perform, to entertain the corp members in camp, so Davido came.
Steve DedeHOST
So that was, Osi was now telling me that this guy is the son of a billionaire, blah, blah, blah.
Steve DedeHOST
I was like, "Oh, I like the record." It got something to Tems, and that was when I started paying attention to him.
Steve DedeHOST
So when Dami, when Damiduro came out, I'm like, "Oh, this is the kid, man.
Jeff TeagueHOST

BarbieGUEST
