Do you have a boyfriend? | No.

No. | You claim not to be a romantic guy, but you're living a real life Cinderella story. How slippers Cinderella left her sleepers somewhere.

That's what happened. | Ah. The guy came to publicly announce whose slippers are diesel. And then when Cinderella now wore the slippers and he fit her leg, they got married. So your wedding might be soon.

Well, I don't understand. Cinderella didn't know it was her sleepers. She knew. | No, she left there because her stepmother, she didn't tell her stepmother she was going for party. So her stepmother, once the clock reached midnight, all of the magic that helped her to become Cinderella was going to disappear. And she didn't want to be her real self in front of the prince yet. Cause he had already seen her, uh, as this package babe. So she ran her slippers fell and she left it the next day. The girl was like, ah, uh, I danced with this baby. She was mad. I don't know anything about her, but I have her slipper. If your leg enters this slipper, that means you're my wife. And that's how it happened. So are you going to do something similar or you're just going to throw these baby slippers away?

Wow. So that's what happened in Cinderella. | Yes.

Uh, I've watched that thing before and. | You didn't pick up on that part.

Hi. | Uh, is this you taken?

Wow, Omar. Now, uh, that's not what's gonna happen to me. What the fuck? | So what are you gonna do with the slippers?

Wait, what? I don't even understand if her leg enter the slippers. Is it like that? Her size is a scar size. | Clearly it's Disney. So they asked us to suspend sense and just believe that only her leg could enter the slippers. And that's what happens. So I might turn the poke holes in children's cartoon. The bottom line is what are you doing with the slippers that is in your house?

I don't know. | You don't know?

You know, apparently, you know, some girls have used it while a bit at mass, you know, like the club not. | Use it as guest house. Uh, you know, during hotel they give you sleepers when you come. You've turned somebody's sleeper, uh, into guests.

You know, sometimes they come with sleepers and then you want to go to the club they don't like, you know. | Okay, allow him m. So I give them the heels.

I got something for you. It's got to improvise. My brother, as you guys already know, I don't really give a fuck about this Love piece. I'm just here to promote my album. Young preacher out soon. | Oh my God. How many tattoos do you have?

Just, uh, three. | I was going to say, what's your most foolish tattoo? But if you have three, then they probably.

But this one is sort of interesting because it's BBC and there's like a fake ruler that's supposed to show like inches and, uh, stuff. So that's an interesting one. | Inches of what?

Of the BBC. You feel me? | No, I don't.

If you want to find out. | No, no, no, it's okay. I've heard the song. I think that you gave us a pretty good idea on the song.

Depends on who's asking. | Me. I'm asking.

Well, if you want to find out. | Inches you're talking about, it's interesting you have inches on your hand. But we'll discuss that later.

Um, yeah, sure. | You studied engineering at university?

Yeah. | If you weren't doing this, is that what you'd be doing? If not, why did you study engineering?

That's a deepest question. Wait, so if I wasn't making music, Shit, would I actually be an engineer? Damn. 35. God, that's deep. Was I on track to become an engineer before I did music? | Is you.

That would tell me that I really was. | Or like, what was the reason for choosing? I guess is more what I'm trying to understand. Was there like a genuine interest or.

It was just at that time I knew computers were the future, you know, leaving secondary school. So it was just more of like a science class. So I just figured that's, uh, that's. | What you're gonna do.

Yeah, see, I would have still been, you know, rich, all these tech guys. | So you would have done the engineering?

Technically, nothing that I know. M. I'm, uh, supposed to be a tech guy. I graduated from studying computer engineering. | What grade do you make?

Please, let's not talk about that. | Speaking of university, you predicted that Ashake will be an artist that we would notice. So tell me what you see when you look at me.

Well, I want to figure something out. | Tell me what you want to figure out.

It's not taken. | Okay. Thank you very much. Welcome to the show.

This question that you asked. Now. | Mhm.

Did you know you were going to ask it before? | Yes.

How did you know I was going to mention university? Okay, because you talked about engineering. | This is not the order I wrote it in.

Yeah, sure. | So this is the thing exactly. I just figure out how things. I do a lot of research for all of these things.

So that's, uh, solid. | Try and tie it in.

That's, uh, solid. Solid. What was the question was you predicted. | That Ashak would be A performer we would all notice. So tell me what you see when you look at me.

Okay. At you. | Yeah.

Whether you be my future. | I don't know what you see.

Okay, so that was another joke there. Tell me m. What you see. | He's deconstructing these questions in real time, madam. Yeah, yeah.

What do I see when I look at you? I think you. You can, you know, you can become really great. Yeah, yeah. Obviously you're doing a good job right now. You know, I'm giving you, you know, flowers while we're, uh, you know, doing interview, which. Which is good. So, yeah, on. | Shut up, you said, no problem way, money, no fee iron out. Is that still true for you? Or you started encountering problems that money can solve?

Thank you for having me. | So the title of your upcoming album is Young Preacher. What's the Gospel? Licking Lips.

I really don't have any problems in my life. | That's good. That's great.

I've always sort of been a happy guy. Right. So all my problems truly were just tied to lack of money at that time, you know, like, because I don't. I don't need much. I feel like I don't need much. I just need, you know, a few things that just, you know, keep me, you know, comfortable. Yeah. | How was Covid for you? Are you one of those people that enjoyed the pandemic? Liked it.

I hated it so much. | What do you hate?

I felt like the world was against me. So, like, my guy was always convincing me, bro, Covid did not come just because of you. I was like, no, this world is against me having money. Right? Because. So this is how I felt. Like. So I had, like, shut up. Just before, you know, like, the year before, I think. Yeah. So I did, like, a few shows. You know, it was exciting to start doing that. And, you know, it felt like 2020 was when I was gonna, you know, have the time to do everything that I, you know, success I was looking for. Yeah, right. And then I dropped my first single, 2020. And that was the two days later was when lockdown started. So it was like, uh, what the hell is going on? Like, first, you know, everything was derailed. Promotion, everything. So I ended up turning that to Stream harbor campaign. | Yeah.

And I just kept doing that, but it just seemed like the lockdown didn't want to end. Like nothing was happening then. Even in, like, December, you know, government just came and said, like, was there another lockdown or something happened? They canceled all events or some shit like that. So he was like, uh, what are the chances that the one year that I'm, um, in position to make money is Covid and government Everything. I'm like, I'm trying hard to convince myself that issue is not like me. I say, okay, what are we going to do to stop this guy from having money in this life? I think we should just, you know, give. Put disease upon the world because of, because of Job. But yeah, that's how I felt about pastor. But thank God I'm still here. | You've clearly opened your bible. This one you're calling Job's name. I said you've clearly opened your Bible at least once.

Yeah, my mom was a pastor. | Yeah. Yeah. What do you think is your most attractive future?

I think because I'm funny, so I think that's what they always say. | Now if a guy can make you laugh. Laughing off your pants, apparently. Allegedly. I don't know anything about that. Your Twitter name is Emeka the Stallion. Why?

Stallion has something to do with this. | I'm actually stressed right now. I don't know what that means, but I think we're just gonna move on because I think that's fine. When it comes to dating, will you say you have a type? Expect?

I don't. I, uh, don't be dating. | You don't be dating at all. So what do you do?

I always be enjoying my life. | What does that entail? So if you, if you see somebody that you like or you find attractive, what was the process with that?

Oh, well, my gospel is very, you know, different, I think. What would I say? Maybe the key word is probably polygamy. | That's. Okay. So you didn't finish telling us down the last album you came back to? Just further drive that point.

Become friends now. | Okay.

Become friends with benefits. | Okay. Immediately.

Yeah, but I'm a genuine guy. That's the difference. I'm a genuine friend. That's why I don't have problems, because I'm a genuine friend. Okay. | So you just friendship your way.

It's not friendship my way. Like I'm always very clear. Like I communicate. So it's not like I'm going pretend to be your friend so that this. | So can I take your friends on this?

You already know. Huh? | So you can take your friends on this on dates? Yes.

I don't even go on dates. | Why? That's what I'm trying to uncover now. What we're trying to understand why.

Why I don't go on dates. | Mhm.

I don't know. | I don't know.

Nigerians go on dates? | Yes.

You go on dates? | No. So I do it professionally, so I don't need to do in my personal life. I do it here, so that's fine.

I feel like. I feel like every other person is doing monogamy. Yeah. Like, for the whole of their career, you know, because that's their reality. So, um, I'm going to sing about bioreality for as long as it is by reality, which is polygamy. Yeah. | Okay.

Your professional. | Exactly.

So I can't use the answer. | You really can't?

I, uh, don't know, like dates. | So you've never wanted, you've never like, wanted to take somebody out. Like man, woman, out. Food. Non platonic relationship.

Non platonic means what again? That's romantic. Now that means it's romantic. | Yeah.

Okay. Uh, dates maybe after going to the movies. That I did. Yes. Yes. So I've done that. | How are you enjoying the wine?

I'm trying. Yeah? | Let's see. You drinking? Yeah. Hey, look at that. See, you're doing well. You're doing well. You need to stop.

Excuse my face. | You don't strike me as someone that allows himself to rest, do you?

I do. | You do?

Mhm. | Okay, that's good. What do you do to distress.

Sleep? | Okay.

Because people haven't even listened enough. You feel me? | You said in an interview on TVC that part of the reason you don't believe in love is because all your guys are cheating. Can you name them?

Lay down, watch movies, I guess. Well, I'm never really stressed. Stressed. Like, you know, like I feel like I always just find time to like, let's say I'm traveling to another city, you know, or something. Like I make sure I sleep, you know, through the flight, you know, the moment I get to the city, you know, I always just find time. | Yeah. Speaking of travel, have you had time to travel recreationally? And if so, what's your favorite place in the world? You've been so far.

It's so sad. I've never traveled recreationally. Uh, the funny thing is I've never even felt like traveling recreationally. Like I'm. I'm such a stay at home guy that like I'm not at home thinking about being in on one, you know, like everybody. I just want to be on this beach with, you know, sunlight on my face, you know, this country, like you can't release. I. I can't relate. Like bro, my house. That's amazing. That's bro. That's like the greatest possible thing that I, uh, could be offered in my head. | Fair enough. Have you actually bought anybody Fendi or do you just lie in your music?

I lie. I lie music. | Do you want. Do you want to make me the first person that you buy Fendi?

No. | Why?

Because, uh, you don't want to set that precedent? No. | Just no.

No. All right. Oh, my brain is just telling me no. Like Fendi. No, I can buy you, uh. | So why did you not sing that? You can buy her Fendi.

There's this girl on Twitter or crochet lady or something. Yeah, I. | It's too warm to wear crochet.

Like 15k. | Okay.

It be sexy on your body. | 15K is the. That's why you cap it.

Maybe I add, uh, add one nice slippers or. No, what they wear to beach. If you don't even wear anything on your leg in the beach, happy do so. | So they Just leave their house barefoot? Is this elect?

Uh, uh, Superboy Check. That's my guy. He'll be cheating all day. Uh, okay. T.J. squishy is not. It's not really like. It's not in relationships. We're not going to count it as cheating. Uh, m. My bro. Yeah. Molly. Uh, I don't be there. I don't have evidence. But now you can't tell me that that bro ain't cheating. | Are you sure all your friendships are intact after this interview is bro?

Okay, but establish slippers. I, uh, had one night. | You can just give me the one you left in your house. Kind of gifts you want to give.

Yeah. Bully. Check. Exquisite. Like, bro, you can't tell me that y'all ain't cheating, Bro. Don't disrespect me and the Internet. | And, um, sorry to those dating these individuals. My sincere condolences. You change your hair a lot, which is a really cool way to self express what informs your next look and how far ahead do you know? Uh, like, now do you know what you're gonna do next?

If so, why have any Day in the Life? | Yes. Now on YouTube, I think. MTV. MTV based in that same video, um, we saw that wiz sent you a Made in Lagos package. I'm knowing how much whiskey that meant to you and how much it means to so many young Nigerian artists, to be honest. What did it feel like to receive that package from him?

It, uh, was exciting, you know, And I. I wore the bandana all the time for like one or two months till somebody took it in. What stage was that? Eula. And I was just performing with it on my head. And next thing, like, uh, what the hell? Funny enough, like, that bandana passed through like 10 people. Because I saw 10 different people holding the bandana like this. I'm like, what the hell is wrong with. | What's your love language?

Hm? That's my love language. | Should I list them for you? Would I make it easier?

Okay, let me hear. | Acts of service, quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation, gifts.
