Yeah, well, I can sense the energy. Okay, and it seemed like he was well equipped Did you just fulfill my needs at that moment? Oh, he just you just felt it. Yeah, and I just needed that release So that was what I was for and I know it wasn't safe young girls don't try this at home It was just for me to share that like and a time in my life because I was sharing it online It was a very expressive Yeah, well, no, I mean die Was just like I was telling them about my birthday like oh, this is what I did for 25 26 That was just 27 like that was like the fun thing I did It was on St. Kits and Nevis the island.

I was going to lie and say they didn't nobody Nobody Except for the bartender and him they could have planned it really could have really gone They could have both come in. Well, I feel like men also do that too. That would have been a fun time I'm so sorry Last one last reaction last reaction last reaction last reaction The coolest thing you've ever googled I'll give head I've watched this before I have commented on this privately I've committed I am famously known to like speak without thinking and then regret it And once even worse about this is that I also have the edit button so we can definitely take that out of the podcast You would not do that. I also want content Keep this in the podcast and continue talking like I have no old training. Yes Why the Google has to give good head because here's the thing. I was scrolling on TikTok the other day And I just realized I don't think I'm the best at giving head a certain type of head I thought I'm good at one the suction but one more of the licking So I learned and I googled it and they said like you should just always have a flat tongue Which I'm usually used to like the swirl and I'm like Interesting First of all I would like to say if you shout out to Donald I don't know you do this every week Honestly, I would have resigned. I would have resigned a long time ago because this girl she will put me in prison She outputs me you Google out to do what I did okay So in my defense that did not mean to come out and I kept it in the video But can we talk about the fact that there's a lack of sexual Intense like knowledge. Yeah, and they all feel it feels like everything is so overly sexualized when he just feels like math Like I wish we just talked about one plus one equals to valid Someone like me who's 27 or at the time when I was googling it 28 I was curious but I didn't know where to go to go to and so like stuff like that could have been if I was younger I can't go on Well like now like you know what it's okay to just casually say it and I like that whenever I say it feels like It's not run she just feels like I'm yapping I'm trying to make it not honestly. You're having conversations that should be had. Yeah, so it's stressful I think he is just really stressful to year it and it's also the cultural um religious bias around everything because like that's how we were raised. Yeah, so like whenever you still year it's like I mean, these are things that should be Right, this conversation that should be hard. Yeah, it's still like Umani You'll say it like that. That's better But I so I did I get it. You have Google's on things in this day of my day. I've gone Pleasure was how it's just so for the heart to open it up and say it out. So exactly real real all right That's pretty much it. So if you guys get a context of our relationship That's literally what it is. It'd be a shame. Yeah, because like if you I'm gonna ask who shade classic is because first of all I know that's not your last name. I'm not gonna ask you to give your government because you probably wear those outside So you don't have to but I want you to the first tell if people were this is their first time Seeing you knowing who you are because my already global you're global superstar I want to tell because the video follows you right now Oh I always like tell us who shade classic is.

Yes, as it's called a levels. Okay, okay. When I was in a levels I Then said I knew I knew I wanted to do YouTube really I knew that to do YouTube. That's when I swore to Chris Agilor. Yes I wrote that era. Yeah She sets my shit everything Right, I used to love her, and I loved from Giacchidilias much too much. I I consumed Jennifer's dairy like water And so I just knew that I really loved these men. I loved myself as well. I wanted to be on socials And it's okay. You know what I'm going to think about it In this college. I will just plan out. I want to go about it I want I get to the UK. I'll just start and that's exactly what I did My father got me my so yeah, in terms of my questions My I just asked my father for camera. My father said okay. How much is the camera and they bought me the camera I told my mother that yeah, I'm starting a YouTube channel. It's okay. Kill all my shame make you know My parents are very chilled like they're very very chilled I think the only thing that was said to me was do not let it affect your academics Anything different school that finished school like my I did it to one I was one percent away from me first. I got it. There was 69 percent And I did a masters and I have an have a first class in a distinction in my masters You know I asked that question like I didn't know because yeah people forget that we did work for this shit. Yeah, like Now I don't miss because you finish talk about say finish your thing. But yeah, like so like very much bigger academics. I did so I started off on YouTube. I did YouTube. That's when I used to do so like I was I was a postal boy For like Nigerian So I mean me just in you Yeah We did that and like I was very big on snap Like I had a very huge snap following like so I was very popular on socials At that time to get 15,000 followers and subscribe as on YouTube Hey, you work hard and I did it. I did it and but I just stopped YouTube because I didn't need that to focus on this good Because that was not easy. Yeah, so I then stopped YouTube because it was a very very Difficult to know to be posting YouTube video You know it was not easy at all and I know that I'm not wasting my father's thousands of So I did that Disappear when I came back again on I didn't believe in you know when everybody was doing TikTok during COVID you didn't I didn't do it Because I was thinking it was for children I was a man of people that I said I would like I don't know why I don't know why we talked about that earlier today made money on content. Yeah, so it's like I was just like I don't know why I just thought it was for kids. I can't write dancing It was very much like music So in mind I'm like wow, I just remember musically being for kids just joining videos together I don't know like no, I'll just continue my rant on my snapchat onto my friend beg me in 2020 I didn't join TikTok to 2020 to what ending Ending and this was after I finished my masters you like time. I'm I had time. Yeah, I was okay. No, let me just try I keep you know the first week on my TikTok. I think I get a lot thankful words. Yeah, first week You used to good take the personality. Yeah, I was like 10 K. I said ah, this is what you're doing. Yeah, I say I'm just talking I'm just talking about myself and I'm just showing what I normally do on snapchat. I thought Oh, yeah, it's going and that's how we do it. Now we're What's a one-track case strong I can't wait for that one. It's gonna be crazy Because it's it's it's incredible. I'm so grateful to God. It's been 90 years I feel like a lot of people have come and they've grown They've gone yeah, but like I said I'm also very just grateful to God that I'm a relevant force and my pace is growing as organic as you should you don't want virality It's so crazy our virality can affect you as a creator Because imagine you imagine so now if me If any viral moments comes now I've had many very viral moments but like if an insanely viral moment comes now I'm ready for it. I'm ready for it And you can't also box me as a creator Because if that viral moment comes you have so much to go through already in the catalog The catalog is already full Anything you want so now you can't tell me oh because okay, let's say for instance. I blow because of one song Right, you can't tell me that it's because of that song. I'll not continue to No, I'll continue my other things and you will catch up Yeah Like yeah, okay, these guys do you know these other things where have I been all this time? That's what it would be not that's oh, I have to just Over and over and that's what people get so tired because you see a creator is boxed in because they go viral and then I go I need to redo this over and over and it works till it's point to point that it's a stop And I people who were successful the ones who are able to show like their multifaceted You can do a lot more than that So we're gonna I didn't mean to interrupt you on was while you're talking about school. Yeah, because Both of us. I have a master's too. Yeah, and like you are the serious job. I had a serious job I wanted to make sure I had Organizations I had to make sure I had some things to fall back on yeah, and What is your advice do you think? Is it necessary to have a degree? Because I am old school. I don't like say I'm old school, but I'm very old school I'm like everybody should at least get something whether it's a certificate whether it's like a diploma whether it's Something to show you are well equipped even if you're said he won't do YouTube. Yeah, have you done like a writing course? Have you done a communications course if you done something that is tangible like I can use that you can use Well, are you an editor? Are you well equipped to know different? Responsible schools can you use everybody else just blue? No, and I feel like our success is because we had At that time to go to school or to learn different things We try to do that first before doing other things. So you thought I'm not I'm very big on school I'm so big on school. I don't I don't think you understand how much you learn Being in school. Yeah, like just speaking to people. Yeah, your communication skills the transferable skills The one like just your brain your brain actively trying to solve things. Yeah, being in a routine. Yeah, also being a routine Do you understand stepping out of your routine? Like there's so many things that you would learn Going to school, right? Yeah, I'm so pro university. Yeah, and if it if you're not Are you don't want to go to school people like? Something because people leave home and they just get thrown into the world When they lose themselves is they don't ever find that routine. Yeah, well that structure that Human means require structure. You do if not you fall down Like you know where you lie play all because you actually want to latch onto something and you're like why is this not working? Because you don't have a routine people who don't if you want to cite people who are like Oh, well, they dropped out and then they still got successful Those people probably tell you they wake up at 4 a.m. every day Yeah, and I do this and I do that and they read this book and they do this course and they like they will tell you they put in the work still It's insane that I'm out of work you have to put in So like me I just feel like I think uni is Important. Yeah, if you don't want to at least go to uni Do an apprenticeship of some sort where you're actually learning actively because what I've also realized is that Uni can come across as a scam. Yes, like I've made it One of my most rare videos where I'm saying universities come don't go to university. Well, I will always say I'm lying Don't do that like I have two degrees to four back on Anything happens. Anything happens today. Don't look at me. Oh, I would dust it. I would just figure it out I will excel But like it's also a case of like I feel like people need to Study they need to learn they need to be more open-minded you get to meet a lot of people Meet different people with different disabilities preferences In in uni that you get to be friends with you understand explore talk to this one people you will not mean As adults it's harder to make friends It's so hard to make friends People are going through lots like as adults now friends are a lot more complicated You understand in those confined spaces of university or like high squad things you go to meet people Become friends you're in a certain routine. So you were able to like because you know when you go out of uni Let's see how you are now is like everything's up. Is in your hand You can do whatever you want the world is yours. That thing is how ski that thing was not scary for you Depression You miss my shoe pee on my body. I was so scared I feel like I was also equipped for it because I had the same Like anything now I have something I said in my brain work like someone someone who can help you get to work now Because that network as well that network of university There's some in Buddha and now let me make I want you to know that I'm like yeah holding big positions You are doing great things with your life. So if this one don't work out I'll be imagine if they're working in a company and they can put me on a campaign That's because I put it before That's so to the girl I went to uni with that was at my dream and fashion week last year She's worked at my dream brand. I didn't even know my status. I've been trying to reach out to that brand for so long And so finally like we reached out again for some lucky reason and she was just like oh, I know so if you want to We're supposed to get that set a lot. That's it exactly. I you never know because for a lot of us immigrants to when we go into These places we don't have connections So a lot of us that school is our connection.

It's a lot of it's a lot of work You love people think oh, they just show up to post Generally anxiety that comes with not having content to post every day Yeah, you do so well. I don't know how you do it. I'm so jealous every day. I need I need the help God you got you got you're you're also on the lots of socials. You need to give yourself credits You are on YouTube Yeah Twitter you are still on Twitter. You're posting on every this all this social media. You are trying give yourself Grace You are not my team can tell me actually Downside if you say if we're gonna give me advice on which ones will only focus on what would you say? Don't that is making money. Your tiktok doesn't make money. It doesn't make money. That's crazy. But it's because like I don't know why did you open the accounts in Nigeria by mistake? No You opened it in America. Why is it not working? I don't know would discuss this. What was it called? Is Instagram a mixed money? It's companies that are making the most money on Instagram. So Instagram Snapchat is just money But we're making money on snapchats. I'm happy to live for snapchats because I'm sure that's big so still But yeah So yeah snap is good. I love snapchats. I feel like that's my biggest Connection to my community and anywhere else. Okay, all right. What is some of like the biggest lessons? You've learned so far in like your creator journey like you know Consistency you're so consistent. She yeah, what does that mean for all of us are not consistent? Showing up every day you need to take it as a job You know it's a job. It's a it's a yeah, it's not even 95. We work harder than a lot of these people died 95 that they have salary You don't you know when you don't know where the next money is coming from Say you don't know it. Okay Then you don't know where the next money is coming for you out to us two times day Have you ever said people that have 95 they know that I know anything more 20th of the month. They will collect their money They will collect their money. Me do we know where the next one is coming from? If you don't if you do campaigns today, they will not pay for the next two three months in the sugar that's 90 Bang you have net 92. So not what I knew that my next money company that I did in September Oh, did December I can talk back. Yeah, I think I will know some more money Well, that's a hot slide in you because I'm gonna see that and be like once that money comes since it comes in bulk They'll use it spending and then with again for the next one. Oh, man. I can't do that. I gotta keep hustling You gotta keep hustling. You need to always be on top of it The reason why the brother last job is because they saw how active I was and they saw the work rates and they liked the content My my fun was must always be fed That's what my will tell me that oh that's I feed them very well and that's it. And you're always entertaining. Yes, no off percent But is it because because for me and I feel like Sophie are so different in my head So I can't like I need to a break sometimes yeah from being audited to just be Sophie But I think it's also because I'm doing plenty since one line. No, you're doing you're doing a lot a lot I need to like I can't repurpose content on different channels But when I do start YouTube again, I think I will be feeling the world. Why are you doing YouTube? It's a lot yeah, I think it's a lot YouTube is like We'll talk though like is a big thing I want to work on for YouTube for next year. I want to bring like Freshly-fonding lyric in nature. Don't talk too much. I'm working on it. Yeah, so So yeah, I think YouTube is a lot to because what's me? I want I have been like always so long I want to come back with a bank. Yeah Yeah, you know, yeah Okay, so I feel like most of our things have I feel like we evolved we've been evolving as we keep going with our content Or we still stay relevant. Mm-hmm. How would this how have you been able to do that? Those being myself to be honest. Yeah, I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not chasing Virality as much as I feel like I should be 10 times bigger than I am yeah because of the amount of work and I put it in by the same time like I just feel like So now I don't I don't chase things like virality. I know those things because I also realize that you can Algorithm would do what you want to do no matter what there's nothing you can do about it. You can't beg it to be okay if A video is doing 100k and in that comments everybody's kicking laughing and joining that video that's enough for me Yeah, you know, that's so that's it that's it. I mean, I'm content now. Yeah, I'm content in the fact that okay The people that my videos are not it's not like my work is not good. Yeah, it's been all those good too To it might be algorithms for us. Yeah, it's a good thing. Love craters struggle with this because if you excuse me if the content isn't good is because of them Know the platform they're on. Yeah, and I think that makes no sense to me because we all know that like our work Isn't because it's no good. Yeah, it's because it's just The algorithm. There's not like under I'm not telling people that we know are so talented. Yeah, but we're getting one view 10 view because It's just the algorithm There's no way I would watch something that I enjoy and I'll not repost it and I see it's like I see it's low and I'll not repost it I'm like I have to repost it because People are meant to be saying this because I don't know that I feel about my own so it's like that's true You know, it's one that puts the most effort into that One kind of Lara, but there's nothing you can do about it to me. I don't you have to keep showing up or that's true This like I'm not like you have to just keep showing up. That's how to stay relevant like You you just have to be that source of joy that okay. I have other people that would message me and say oh Thank you Thank you for like I've had food. I said that they were depressed. They were suicidal They watched my video like that thing is insane to me. Yeah, I mean, what do you mean by yes? I said I got you now watch my video and I say I want to go to your head again I stuck for that you know, I mean like I feel like I'm the light is like it's you you now know that okay That's your purpose on earth is like yeah, okay, like Me safe. I have I have a purpose. I have a reason to be here and I'm actively impacting people's lives Like that is my own force now. That's the way I'm staying relevant To be in fucking content. Yeah, there's not a lot of us like if I can put it down also not to misogynistic I was supposed to say that normal That's the word I like to you. Yeah, normal normal normal young boys young men And I don't mean folks were into music. I mean like lifestyle like and I But the fuck that you brought Justin was like Justin Justin any you yeah Yeah No, they're more than that. Of course, but like to actually let's find this at least give me two more. Yeah In in terms of like the lifestyle within the community of that we know you guys in the comments That's more y'all Moira is a vibe in the UK. There's more. Moira is travel. Yeah, I'm gonna talk with that Oh my god. Oh, Kunda. They're the name. I haven't seen him in person yet. Oh, just like it was driving in his car There's that me as well. You see all like this case. I'm thinking of like the US Okay, yeah, y'all though. Yeah, what the Americans they have the American ones. Yeah, but not African Yeah, they're not a lot of them African America. They're not a lot of African America. Oh my god. Is this fashion guy though? Really talk dark skin. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. What's the quote? Mo That cuts meats Yeah, I love this content Moise Moise for the boys. But the girls are killing it. The girls are killing it. Oh you girls are killing it. You Oh, it's giving Sunday Refresh it. Yeah Your plentiful plentiful That's actually too bad. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, I don't think about that influence that culture then Because like Inside just Say what are your thoughts in influencer culture in what context every context there is You make context then our company wasn't recording Because like what is some of your unpopular opinions about influencer culture Um, I think it's is I think this industry is very funny. Yeah It's also a very clicky industry Why did you say that? They love people that are very clicky. Yeah, like if you're not popping They don't want to be your friend and that's not why I'm yeah, that's true. That's true. That's not why I'm yeah I am not your friend because you are of your followers. Mm-hmm I don't mean personally. I don't do that. I don't do that. Yeah, and it's that if not I'll be like I don't know where I can't really Do all of that with me exactly So I think that's one thing I don't like about influencer culture is like you have to kind of like It's like I see you have to forget your other friends. Yeah Like I see you have to forget your other friends Mm-hmm and focus on I mean what colleagues I have colleagues that's you know it took me a long time Yeah, yeah, like so the old She knows my story. Yeah, when I first started with the influencing community when my biggest mistakes was thinking everybody was Your friend and so like you know actually like we influencer friends of friends is because as an influencer our life Is content like I don't say you had yesterday you had your birthday party and people can see you often at events And then you will assume where friends went to them. You're not friends your colleagues And it just took me maybe two years ago before I realized in my creative friends who I Know our colleagues and not friends unless we take that extra step of communicating outside and getting to know And even then there's some people also tell me sometimes that oh, I just took you as my influencer friend I didn't know you wanted more mm-hmm So I'm learning the balance of that because it's hard out here I mean we'll use you sometimes within the industry Are you under a smith that they're only using you for your content and followers? I'm not because I care about it. How do you get such a fucking energy? So I was the same as you yeah, I actually think I'm also gullible as well Because I'm such a I'm so nice. I'm so nice. I'm so nice. I thought everybody is my friend And I'm so happy. I'm so I'm so I'm so like like mad like I'm so quick to invite I'm so quick to do things with people do the launch to the dinner. I don't know. Wait. There's always always And it took a lot of unlearning You need to so you need to see that like a it's also buzzed on so this is very much It career. It's like it's like a nine to five, but this one is over is everything 24 seven Our jobs are 24 seven so I had to unlearn Just being welcoming. I'm I'm still very nice. I'm so very sweet. I'm open. I'm happy to become friends with people But I'm also not just going to assume that we have friends mm-hmm you get yeah So now it's not it's not gonna assumption if I'm seeing that you're actively taking the same energy or becoming friends Yeah, with me. You understand. 10. We agree. Do you understand right? Our next episode is probably going to be with Shayo and Shayo is a mutual friend of ours And the way Very good with your friend and Shayo is such a sweet person remember me a friend Shayo first met The first couple of months after we met we kept in contact and I remember There was one time I just didn't reach out and this was also a trauma response of I'm always the one chasing Actually, I called me I said Sophie. You're my friend You should call me and speak to me. I will know I allow you to just not speak to me and I said we're friends I said yeah, are you sure? She's like what are you talking about? I was just in your house. Of course we're friends And I'm the kind of person you've seen me everybody and their mother is in my New York apartment Oh, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to you. Yeah, you don't matter. I will my wall is up my door Everybody comes and I It sorry that's just what that was posted on Instagram. That's my alarm for really See teach me what? I met my PM on see cuz like that's so I don't caramelize something So like you have content that's ready to be posted right now. Yeah, but today is given seven eighths Not to explain today Yeah, you know, I mean, oh, I feel like I'm always well as always prepared and overly prepared for work And I love when I see someone who you can tell is as intentional. Yeah, without work as you are Interesting anyways, I'm learning really quickly about people being fake and everything because yeah There's a lot of people that like you just need to know that take it as a career Yeah, the ones that you're just maintaining a colleague With and the ones you're building with it's not everybody you cannot build it everybody. Yeah, I think that's even wary That's true. That's true. That's true. That's true. If you happen to be everybody's friends It's weird. That's true. Okay. Have some on popular opinions speak about influencers. Now I want to see what your take is. Okay You ready? Being relatable is the new fake Um, no, I don't I think that's what I would be relatable regardless. Yes, but they also people who that's our that's our pretending to be relatable I agree. Yeah, the other ones are those actions like I see the related with what I'm wearing Gucci I'm Louis Vuitton and stuff like that. You know what's more immense and they're not going to say oh my god guys Like I'm just going through a lot right now, but you're not just saying that because you want to be because I think what's been happening with the influencer industry is that People have gone past you know, there was an era of Aspirational content. Mm-hmm. We're like if you're big and you have money, you're doing luxury, you're it and people got tired of seeing all of that And now they want just to run up the right. Yeah, that's doing the shame just doing the Regulus, but recession is it saying it's a recession indicator now. Yeah, so now before I try and to buy into that But starting to do all these like oh my god, I'm so relatable. I'm going through the same thing as you when it's not true I think but we can see through the ones that are really active Okay, another one is not everyone is shadow band. You're just boring now Fair right? Yeah, people is clear correct. No, I said fair fair not the outside one true Yeah, no because the thing is Revaluating your content also works. Yeah, that's what I mean. I said I Don't blame I blame the algorithm a lot now because I actually me. I vet my content on my biggest critic I know when I know when it's giving yeah, when it's not giving I know the ones I put my heart into and the ones because I'm like I said I'm a personality I'm just sharing my own opinion sharing my own thoughts if I work out of you and I somebody pisses me off I'll make a video about that and I'll post it Just that's just what it is you understand. I'm not overthinking As it is, but like there are a lot of people that like They've probably done the templates and they've been on that template for years So of course, it is not going to move. Yeah, so you're not shadow bands. Stop saying your shadow band You're just yeah, and there's some people that also now so now is now when you are trying and trying and trying something all that Newtains and it's not picking up then I agree that you are potentially shadow bands But if you're just doing the same thing. Oh change your copy. I think you just change the clothes you do this I don't think there's anything like shadow banding really you don't think so. I don't think so I mean I don't think you're I don't think the algorithm works that way. I think We tend to think or feel like it does but I think the fear of change is what keeps you Stuck in the same place So I have friends for example now who like only post on their stories for that's why because you know if you're posting your story For example on Instagram just one story You'll get the highest view. Yes, when is just one. Yeah, I know a friend now like a bunch of friends who only post that one And if only we post now, it's another thing. Oh, I'm guessing my views and I'm like you're not you're not telling any story You're not engaging you're not bringing them anywhere. Yeah, and that's it Versus yeah, you my post five and maybe the first one would do one that's cool. Yeah But you don't know who's gonna see the third one who's gonna see the fifth one who's gonna resonate with the second one You don't know how the other things will play into getting you more chances at the end Plus as a growing curve everything has that like maybe you've been posting for three months and you're like you don't see change What if is that third words on your yeah, that you now finally changed because you stop early You don't see the change is because see people are not in this for the long grow That's what I try to tell creators and just people in general Yeah, not anybody longer when we see when people tell me you know I'm talking about this because when you started first I talking you said you're a third a kid Mm-hmm When we started content We didn't want to be viral or famous. We wanted to just share what we liked That was it like I didn't start I knew I wanted to be Beyonce level star for sure. I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't want that Well, I also knew that I was going to get there based on my talent and what I wanted to offer my goal wasn't to be an influencer content creator You can't succeed in this job if that is your goal. Yeah, because there's no such thing as you There's no sense in Because a content creator now is someone who creates content. Yes But what kind of content are you creating how long is it kind of content is are you a content creator that does a fashion? Are you doing lifestyle? Are you doing perfume? Are you doing like one of the things that are you doing because that also matters With the business because beauty creators would do well. Mm-hmm versus fashion creators who might not make money But it's so different now. I don't see it. Yeah, I don't understand it. Mm-hmm. There's a lot to unpack There's a lot to unpack there. We're gonna keep going Okay, this is for me of sharing does not equal authenticity This is you please can answer I don't think that's true. Mm-hmm. I don't think over sharing does not equal authenticity does not equal authenticity Yes, I don't know what I was came over sharing does not equal authenticity. That means over sharing you are not equal. You are not authentic over sharing does not mean for authenticity. Yeah You know why question you don't know Over sharing does not equal or ten cc stage But telling you trauma every time we're telling you just every time doesn't always make you really better You just might it might just be your over sharing for cloud. Yeah, okay. That's not true. I don't I think that's true Like you're not sharing for cloud. I'm not sharing for cloud. You're sharing goes to share. Yeah, you're having a y'all Yeah, you're having a great time. I love talking to talk. Yeah, like it doesn't my type against one view or ten view I'm like I've shared it for my peace of mind or whatever then I'm good. Okay, let's go into the next one You ready being an influencer is a real job that but that doesn't mean everyone screw that seats. Yes, fuck It's a very real job Everybody can influence the influence that it's in their influences. Yes, I'm not everybody can sell a product Yes, I feel like there are people that would just be content creators And they will not be influencers and that's all about it. And that's fine Yeah, I think you just need to know I tested and prove and trust it Yeah, but that's because of my way of storytelling and bringing people in pulling people into teams, right That's where a co-conversions come some people like there's there's those in line storytelling There's like in like the visual effects Oh Yeah, they understand like I don't think every influencer We'll be able to convert Yeah, that's why I said like I think it's a difference And you can start off as an influencer You serve as a content creator and then you and you build You understand and not every content creator will build that influence. Yes, they can share funny things and things But they they don't have by power. Yes, you understand that's where personality comes in. Yes So a lot of fashion people that are just Posting their fashion that's it. It can't really do more than that See that people are killing it. I don't want that I have personality within it as well There's this there's the little ones that can potentially also do that because of their beauty Yeah, because of the way they look but they really piece things together. Yeah, but if you notice now It is people that have personality yeah, that is poppy. Okay, so tell me Around the UK influencer culture Mm-hmm. What is that like? It's very interesting. It's very clicky Yeah, that's what I've been talking about is like it does very clicky. Yeah, it's an if like you see people with like their clicks Moving in packs. Let me tell you what I see from the outside looking and then maybe you can help so in my head when I was In the UK, I just I see the I don't know if I can name drop but like Everything I say is not Shay's mindset. I'm not speaking for Shay I'm speaking on behalf of the oddity. She is just at least not in this conversation. Okay, because she hasn't lived with them here So so I call them like the production people. There's a there's the beauty creators the production people the podcasts as and the miscellaneous Okay, okay, the production people are like the nela roses the chunks those people who like always on production The JD's the yeah, this is a silent the pretty old. Yeah, like yeah, post and present like they have their click And then I have the beauty influencers who are like the makeup you can see girls. We know the UCHES And then we have the miscellaneous group which is like the funny bones like the cool chill love island my comments I fall into this somewhere like your personality says that's what the Shay is coming. Oh, it was a last night mentioned I forgot it. Oh, Freddie production YouTube YouTube YouTube. Was it YouTube? No podcasts podcasts podcasts And that's what we have the choices the shits and gigs and all that stuff and they all like interchange But they're also all in their pockets. Yeah, like they don't mix they don't mix How is that experience in real life for somebody that's is like Into everything. Yeah, it's very it's very very very very very confident Honestly, so it's so confident. Yeah, you walk into some rooms. I mean very confidence person Yeah, you see how some people are very snobbish I'm what are you carrying? I'm like do you want to say that we all know each other? Yeah, it's so small You're FYP It's too strong to act like you don't know me. Yes, Jonathan See If anybody's actually you don't know me. She's not gonna be my favorite cook. Yeah, I understand Yeah, if you put that I just okay, I can say I still don't know in the industry. Yeah, but come on You see my song there are some there are some levels that you get to that you can't see you don't know this Yeah, that's sure. There's no lie. If you're a creator of 20 key and hey, I may not know you. Yeah, right? Yeah But yeah, okay, tell me about what you think about us influencer culture. I think why are you not nice at the you think so I think I think They you know country British people are not the most welcoming. They're not the most what let me tell you From afar and they watch you and that's it. They don't they don't they don't play in this country. Yeah, I get approached And I'll snap it. Okay. No, let me let me say this. So if 100 people know me in a room. Yeah, maybe 10. Yeah, oh Take a picture 20 Who say hi? Oh hi, I fuck your content. Hi. I love your content. We'll keep it up. That's it They are not engaging with you more than that you understand they may also not follow you on social media But they know everything you're doing I have so many British followers that do not follow me both When they see me they will quote every single video word for word, but you don't follow me on socials That's interesting I have somebody that will acted like he said oh hi, my name is Was it called that's you do I may introduce I said I say I know you can go can go so I want I even said I know you Yeah can you go can you go? Yeah, the person actually I said no no me. Why did we start talking later and then you are now Videos that you've done years ago, but you don't know me. You didn't know me. What happened? How come how come the same day? But you do not know me. So why did you are you putting my videos all of that We're lucky yeah, I feel like the American thing is too big So like I feel like we all fall in different buckets. Yeah, right and I think Now I think you've been able to navigate my set of buckets Yeah, because I just mind my business now. Yeah, I go my feelings hurt so many times. I just let people go And that's why honestly just no my life fits me the best because I think Americans preach a certain thing You start content You get to a plateau where you're making money you buy a house so you get the dream place settle down you marry or you don't marry and you do this cycle over and over again That's basically what it is for the most part like success stories like I have friends who will buy cars because they need to hits the next milestone Basically the contents in the American context is chasing the same American dream Americans want to celebrate those wins over Is that keeper? Is that okay? You must always put up your next win Every time I didn't like that. It's that's a very American thing. I know it's a very American dream thing versus the UK where And I'm not saying this is for everybody, but the UK has more of like its talents based No, you don't think so. I think the place that is the talent-based is Nigeria No, that's the different level When I see nine drunk creators When I see nine drunk creators I don't think Hey God We will work as do you think we would be bigger if we lived in a house. Yes Like I will be oh god. I will be deep Deep big deep Can't wait to listen to the movie actually be not so cute a monkey 10 a.m And like big no, but about the same time Well, yeah now, so the biggest dream that I want to have is to be able to Big up the diaspora on the continent like I want to get to a point where like I'm the Kevin Hart of the diaspora and the continent You know what I mean like cuz Kevin Hart is famous across the world But they're so Nigerians who don't give a flying fudge Yeah, they respect him, but they don't know who he is like what does that look like to be Of the pride and I think I was thinking about it from like a phone calculator. They don't know who we're talking about incredible If you can come to America, they wouldn't reach out the same at all because America She's excellent at her work at her job her role. The talent is on match ridiculous Someone said me that they're like all like they shoot for the new movie coming out shooting a blood and bone like Why didn't they hire if one can't kill you? Oh, yeah, and I'm a because if you put a phone car kidney on an a Viola Davis in front of each other. They are Peers in my opinion, but the American media wouldn't see it because I don't ever have it They will not carry they will not carry the film they will be carried and that to me is why like The power now that I think Nigerian creators have harnessed is the power of creating things for themselves like the amount of Consumption is enough nine jobs are enough to consume nine The movie is trending on YouTube now like if you're listening and you don't know what we're talking about go on YouTube and search for Who's the slated eyes do it? I mean by the movie is TV channel The Delta a dual woman from when you bully Iconic like these are creators who even this guy Shagi even has his own Shagi is ridiculously talented. I mean like Kiki like the platform like the things they do with the production They have like Kiki is doing her own shows based on her own talent ridiculous full-on production Like I was actually we're just sitting and talking about how like what our next step is and I was like I don't have $40,000 to drop on a production that would be half-ass The shit that Nigerian creators are able to do and it's something that bites my soul every time Ridiculous because I wish because I don't think the American America doesn't trust because we see Thailand We see I rest time. We feel like oh first right now our biggest export now is Afro beads And we see them trying really hard to break into that market and I'm like that market is not even supposed to be what you break into Yeah, you have to come to you they're gonna come into you You know you want to be you've lost already. I swear so you're bringing back to the UK I feel like the UK talent. So it's it is talent-based. Yeah, I think of like for Nella right her biggest achievements wasn't the house that she got Right, it's still her and her talent as a host For a lot of creators in America is it's not about watching the outfits you are wearing Yeah, no, we don't do how much is the how bold is your look how this is that was the next house she bought Was the next car you're getting when did you graduate those steps? It's what we chase you're in a capitalist society. That's what I keep forgetting Capitalism like America fees It's not about your talent. Yeah, it's not when I started feeding into Here's my $6,000 New York city. Yes, so guess I did they do stupid numbers What and I had to catch myself because I'm like this isn't what I want That's the market and the last the market. I'm in yeah, and now it's like when I leave the market now. I feel so much Yeah, I'm peaceful. I'm like I was just talk I want to have fun. So in that case. Yes, the UK is definitely not like that. Yeah, because we're very much middle class It's a bit of the country's The median wage in the UK is 30,000 pounds and people are like they don't want to earn iron iron I'm not fine with this. Yeah, if you end 50k upwards, you get 40% tax You end below 50k. I guess in 20% tax here. No, I don't want to You said let me stay right out my jet. Not as in the country. Yeah, so definitely it's not that because the If you are wearing Gucci Gucci Gucci Gucci people the next year we're in part. Oh, yeah So like I feel like I see y'all It's not so much judgmental, but I see a Judgment elements to it like I'm there's a recent creator a low-valent creator I'm just gonna say that not their name who like when they were in name brands or their fashion is different The conversation is more of like what are they doing too much? Yeah, it's never about The fact that they do in America they will thrive big that person up. They'll big them up They'll bring the UK they're like simmer down. I feel like that's why I see people say you can like to humble people They love to that's what is that's the reason why they're also not approaching you Yeah, who are you? You keep me. Yeah Because you're making a laugh on it because you have one million So that's that's this country they want to humble you So even though you look sweet and sexy and gorgeous and glamorous. They don't want to tell you wow Yeah, that's just a sad reaction I do you what's your like Go and go for this influencer shit. I really want I want to be a global name I'm not like the plan is not just be a Nigerian a British content The plan is not to does be a Nigerian British content creator It's more of like a global name like when you're calling global creators When you're calling global personalities you're calling my name. You're gonna see me on billboards You're gonna see me in front of your screens. You're gonna see me acting one day You're gonna see me hosting the biggest shows the biggest films, you know, the biggest Music campaigns, you know, I think our Our ability to assimilate because I think Because Justin I'm gonna call Justin now just new geezer create my incredible creator. He talks a lot about how he started taking accent classes Yeah, because that sets you apart. Yeah from your peers and there was one time you were doing Don't I'm gonna remember what's it's called actors screening thing. We're like you guys are sitting down the I you guys cycle through what I call it It's like whenever there's a premiere Press junkets. Yeah, and I remember I Saw that I'm gonna be so honest. I saw you doing that and I was in such a shock Because the shade I know who says my South Africa people was not the shade That was sitting on that press junk. I didn't like that having a conversation. Let's talk about it Cuz I struggle with that a lot. I didn't like that Explain to me. No, no, I don't know. I don't think it's a bad thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah It's not about it. It's not about it. I'll tell you why so I think that's one of my biggest These problems as well in terms of growth in this country. Yeah I don't like to overly cool switch. So I actually switch accents for you see that view like different accent We've used different like one minute. I'm very Nigerian the next minute. I'm trying to speak like this And I'm trying to be more ininsaturated with my words, right by the same time. I don't I like to use I like to speak to white people with this accent so that I will show them that But like so I think it's a good thing, but it's also a limiting thing as well that you don't speak the other way other people speak Yeah, in the country that you're in as an immigrant It's like all you have to always cool switch So like with the content as well I don't I don't send anymore you understand so with the junkets, right I feel like the The the place where me I come in is my Nigerianness my Nigerianness is is such is such a very huge parts of my brand like I'm very Nigerian very proud Very flamboyant about it you understand so like when I enter limiting spaces where it's like Sometimes you can't even help it they tell you they take it to you Yeah, yeah, so I'm like and like I'm like, oh So that that last one is I think that is one of the least of I have enjoyed yeah the other ones I've done I did the Lion King one. Yeah, that was one you know, I enjoy it directly But with this one like I yeah, I was like a bit it was very Professional it was very innate and I'm like cool. Yeah cool in its story You understand it's not meant to like so I entered full on presenter mode for that Yeah, whereas I meant to be like fun. I meant to be like playful. So yeah, so that could switch in some times But it's part of the job. There's nothing we can't do about it I think your success will be because you're able to coast switch and that's something that even as a creator We struggle because we're talking about like being Nigerian and being because you're stuck in no man's land right now Yes, because if we're back home, this is a no-brainer When I'm thinking we're never been thinking about it. We're not thinking I'm gonna exist So on a politically as myself, but when I'm in America, I can't you can't like where you are does not allow you to and Yes, we talk about oh Give an example of a shakir setting out Madison Square Garden because of his first album. That's true But his album now doesn't do that Because he can't these say my shakir now is Saying hello to you, but this is a shakir The world at some point the world would tell you adjust to get out. Yeah, especially in the captains to say like I'm America Actually with the UK so it's something that like I admire you for doing to and I see that I'm like That's how you know you're also gonna go so far Because we're having to navigate these spaces Yeah, and it's not easy.
