Kicking things off with a wild football match at the Anti world Gangsters festival—and no, it’s not that kind of gangsta. ODUMMODU reffed the game while his own music played (legend move), and the vibes at Turf Arena, Abuja were unreal. Creatives, students, and good energy all around.

Oh, and Skepta’s performing soon, so you know we had to mention that.

The workings of the corporate world are universal. Nigeria not included lol. Threw a surprise party for Brixx but he pulled an uno reverse on us and surprised us instead. The world isn't safe for anybody but would you allow a sex worker sleep in your house by 11pm? Who is financing Bobrisky and finally faithfulness in marriage from the lenses to Cardi B and Offset

This time, we have the girls answering questions from the boys. if you are driving (you wont be reading this but) sit tight, if you're trekking on the road, look right. If you're about to sleep, good night. But make sure to listen, rate, and leave a comment or two!
