This was probably the most important part of my set at the Ankara Festivals
September is sickle cell awareness month and if you know me you know I’ve always never been ashamed of who I am and the battles I fight from within. It didn’t always use to be like this though. I was a young, little and timid boy who’s eyes were always yellow going to school, tiny and frail - even though one can clearly tell I was a warrior I was still shy to admit it.

Years later I grew up and learned to embrace me for who I am. And today I’m not just living, I’m thriving. Once believed that I won’t live past 21, I’m in my 30’s now and looking forward not with gloom but with hope towards my 40’s, 50’s, 60’s heck I think I might even make it to 90 at the rate I’m going now.

My creativity, my music, my stardom all stemmed from PAIN. No matter the stage I’d stand on today or in the future, I’d spread the awareness and encourage all to test and know their genotype before procreating.

HAPPY SICKLE CELL AWARENESS MONTH TO ALL MY FELLOW WARRIORS

Let me also take this time out to ask all my friends and fans to join me in requesting that feature from a fellow warrior Big Fish 🦈 I’d really love to do a record with you.

Oya make Una tag am for the comments 😂

Cheers 🥂

The AFRO MET GALA carpet wasn’t just a runway — it was a love parade! Power couples pulled up serving looks hotter than Lagos in July. Matching fits, killer vibes, and chemistry so strong it could light up the whole gala.

Fly as heck doesn’t even cover it — these duos were straight-up legendary."

Truly a night to remember.
