Obongjayar—whose album Paradise Now is out now—hopped right off the plane to hit the studio and raucously riff with the boys on why he chooses to fly economy and loves plane food, our country's current moment of extreme Anglophilia, how he used to sing with an American accent and goes full Kyle mode for us, gun fever, his Youtube addiction and what’s in the queue, the IG explore page do be jiggling though, getting out of the Nigerian trenches and moving to the UK as a teen, his home country’s influence on mainstream music and where he fits in, an honest review of London’s neighborhoods and their residents, a deep discussion on why he left religion behind that turns into a light realization that hell is definitely super lit if it’s indeed real, FredAgain changing his life and how Fred leads by example, being so broke you gotta make the pizza and donuts stretch, his UK vintage spots, an education in grime, putting the vices on hold when it’s time to record, his celibacy journey and dating maturation, trying to be a better human, and much more on Obongjayar's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.
