I know you don't drink, but it's also.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Because do you drink a wine? Have you ever drank alcohol?

Speaker 4 (01:57):
All?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
At a point in my life when I was much younger,
after sold alcohol.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
You sold alcohol?

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Okay, what do you mean by that? Like you worked
at a bar or liquor store.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Or in Nigeria, there's a what do you call it?
There's something we're called gin. But my problem when you
get to Nigeria actually maraga or we're called go guru.
You remember this?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
What is it called guru?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Okay? You should have come for classes go guru? Yes,
So so I sold it's.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Legal or illegal?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
You call him?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Say he was illegal? Now I don't know, like it's prohibitions.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Sound like this sounds sounds illegal.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Everyone comes to buy from me.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Okay, again, sounds illegal.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
It's kind of like nutcrackers and New York.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
You know, did you make good money doing that?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah? I was just trying to get by. So at
that time, my parents were late, so I was trying
to get by and get fast money and just move on,
you know that time. Okay, I made some cool cash. Yes,
and that.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
During that time you drank a little bit. No, No,
you still didn't drink.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
I still didn't drink.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Oh my god. That was so you were peddling that
to people, but.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Not just what I think was the recipe.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Those were local jeans, you know, the local herbs and everything.
So I just make everything concoursions.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
And good bartender.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, I used to be very good.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
How do you know what if it was good? If
you didn't ever taste it, you never had to like no, so.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
The smell of it, the smell of like, yeah, to
the smell of it, I knew to quantity everything, how
to mix it. Yeah, sound was very good. Okay, I
didn't have over you sixteen?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Okay, is there a drinking age? Because I know here
you have to be twenty one in the United States.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I don't want to put nine on the map now.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
No, okay, really all right, but we're gonna have it.
We're gonna have a drink, and you're gonna want patch
it for us. Can you know that?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I think I've left that alone.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
It's Jasmine and I have it's you know, it is
Jazzmin's birthday, but her birthday happens to be the same
day as your anniversary. Like we were saying, which is special?
December fifth?

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yes, your faith?

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Oh yeah, you can open this for me. There's a
lot of work over here. We're going to have some
class A. Really, this has a bell on tap, so
you ring the bell.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
You know to have seen it before.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I have never done this before, and I think all
your past.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Oh no, you don't have to do it. We're gonna
do it for you.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Drink on your behalf.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
We're going to celebrate celebrating your anniversary, okay without you?

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Yeah that's good.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
All right. Well, so I want to talk about just
basically your journey to get to where you are because
you actually met your wife in church right five years.
Because I do my little bit of research and then
I saw a video of the wedding and everything, so
beautiful wedding. It was a beautiful wedding. How did you
guys meet? Because I know I saw she said that

(05:09):
you thought that or you thought that, you know, she
thought you didn't like her. Is that what happened?

Speaker 2 (05:15):
Yeh, she thought that, you like, well, she loved me
all alone from the very beginning. Are you sure she's
not going to admit to that? But I know that's
what it is, you know. So we met in church
twenty fifteen and I just saw this lady. I was
a music director in the church and I saw this lady.
I was like, see your face for the first time,

(05:37):
and you just walk up to here and say hi.
Then I walked over and hello, what's up? She didn't respond.
I was like, you like that, Chase, Yes, you like that.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
She didn't respect so she would have been like, hey.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
You actually in love when ladies are tough. Yes see,
you know it worked. I was surely smiling somewhere now.
And then I was like I have never spoken to
someone and just and without getting the response. Well, after
some time I left it twenty seventeen.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
I came back to the same city she was. Then
she got back from from from London and she came
to the choir. She joined the choir. Fortunately it was
on and happened. I was still the music director.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why okay, so you are already late, yeah at church
and then everybody, yeah, everybody knew you were you were
the man.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
You're the man.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Stop what its in my mouth?

Speaker 1 (06:39):
So you know?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
So twenty seventeen, we she came, she came back from
the from the from the UK and she joined the choir.
I wasn't I I was the music director.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Did you have to give her permission to join the choir?
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
But then she was like all knowing, like you know,
she's she's our presence is always felt.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Hm.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
She she she has the presence and everything. So she
had like quite a number of people follow her. She's
a bond leader. Okay, okay, So in the choir when
I say everyone moved left, she's always wanting to go
right and there the person, Oh my goodness. Then her
followers are always ready to move with her.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
She's the leader.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
So I'm like, what's happening here? So we have some
you know what, whatever need you need this choir. We
don't need you here.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
You try to kick her out the choir, Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
I was upset.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
I was like, leader, but go ahead.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I was like, I'm the music director here, so everyone
should listen to me, you know. And then I spoke
to her. I was like, you know, just just leave
the choir. You need to write an apology letter.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
You said she had to write an apology letter.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
I requested an apology letter.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
I've requested an apology letter.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
You know she wrote the apology letter.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
You still have it.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
In my head.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
What did she say?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
No, she apologized for how she behaved. They wouldn't do it.
She was not totally wrong. She was not completely wrong,
but she still apologized. That's to show that she loves
That's the show. She loves me from the very beginning.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
That's when that's how you interpreted it.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, you call that interpretation. Now.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
I heard a different story. I heard that somebody else
wrote that letter right and and gave it to you,
and you thought it was her.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, yeah, she did. She wrote the letter. I think
she was. She was living for the airport. She was
living for the airport that day. She was going back
to the UK. So she wrote the letter and give
to someone else, okay, to bring to the choir for
me or to bring to me.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
And I was like no, and she was leaving for
the airport to me where she was doing. That's pretty,
she's really good.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, but I guess I wanted to see her face
again before she left.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
This is like a movie. So you went to the
airport and the airport.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
And you missed her.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
You know, somebody letter came and when she came back
from the UK, I still requested she did like like
an apology person.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
This is ridiculous. She apologized. She did what you ask.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Person.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Okay, my goodness, are you serious?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
I needed to see official expressions and everything.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
When why didn't you just say I like you.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
No, we need events to onfold to that point you wanted.
I love I love the whole drama and everything. But
at that point I didn't admit her that I was.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
That's why you're a good artist. I'm sure to go ahead.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
I told you I needed to write an apology letter.
It depends on who it is.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
It depends, because you know, sometimes you just feed the
ego and do it.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
You care you know you can't.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
It's just you can follow his leadership. You know, that's cool,
And that's probably what all he wanted. He just wanted
to know, like, Okay, she already been a little difficult
to do this, and she knew what to do.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
It's a test, so it was.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
It's another form of reverse by college when I'm buying,
but just lit Okay, okay, what.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Are the things Jasmine? Like, maybe somebody has put you
through some tests like this was kind of a test.
Have you ever had somebody put you through like a test?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Like maybe I just I don't know, maybe I didn't know.
I'm sure they have. I probably failed and didn't know.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Are you good at apologizing?

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I think I am.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
I think I say I'm sorry before you know for sure.
I think I say probably sorry too much. I think
sometimes I can be like that.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
You say okay, And when people say sorry, sometimes they
say sorry. I know guys who did it wrong way
they say sorry because they don't want to talk about
it anymore, not necessarily sorry. She's just like, is not here?

Speaker 2 (10:58):
She would that point that point.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
I don't like when people say I'm sorry if I
offended you, because no, just say I'm sorry, because that kind.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Of like why why Why can't I say I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Because it means they're not really sorry for what they did.
They just sorry. You got offended.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
It's I'm gonna say I'm sorry, but you know I
still well, it might not be my intention to offend you.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Probably that's the way you took it.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Where she is? We need to talk all right now. Listen,
I want to talk about some things that we've been
reading about in these headlines.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Now.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
One thing I saw as Jazmin geitared drinks ready pasta
scientifically is proven to make you happier. That particular food, right,
pasta is scientifically proven to make you happy. You gotta
read the bell tell yeah, okay, I know you. Have
you ever seen this bell?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yep. You did it wrong. You got hit on the
side like this. That's what this is known for the classes.
You ring hit it.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
There you go, that's.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Okay, Well while they do that, So I just drinks
strite no ice. So Victor, for you, what kind of
food makes you happy? We're talking about past the scientifically?
What makes you happy? What type of food?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah? So I used to think that rice makes me happy,
But then if it's not from my wife. I'm not
really excited about it.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Okay, if so your wife isn't cooking, then she isn't.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Cooking then, because I've had a couple of different kind
of rise everywhere. There was the time I traveled to
Ghana and then I was on a call to her
like I didn't even know what to order, so help me.
She was like, Okay, I like that. Every time every
time she's not with me.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
You can call her and say, baby, what should I eat?

Speaker 2 (13:03):
No, but I've never done an international trip outside without her.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Wow, is that your best friend?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
If there's a what like best test friend?

Speaker 1 (13:12):
That is so many?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, I saw your post.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Is there's nothing I cannot share with her? There's nothing
like I can share with her?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
You know what? That is a fact? You know when
you're in a real, real relationship when you can order
for the other person and they don't even have to.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Every time we're on the plane. Every time when they're coming, like, so,
what what would you like to have? I'm like, she's
gonna get that.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
For clearly first class, clearly clearly know what you know,
they're not giving you pretzels and Jesus whole meal. I like,
how you just show so much admiration for her, like.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
He's really into her.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yes, who was your parents' relationship?

Speaker 2 (13:53):
Like, uh, they love they loved each other.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
But because everyone does not have that story.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
My dad had three wives, Okay, which.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Which your mom was? Which one was your the last one.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Last, and mostly the last of my family. Yeah, so
I saw the mutual love and everything, But personally, I
don't think that one man can feel the same way
for multiple ladies. You know, I think that that must

(14:26):
have been his own way too, But I don't think
I can actually share what I feel mm hmm with
several people.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, so that actually had backwards like sometimes you do
what your parents do what you see, and sometimes you
do the opposite. So for you, you're like.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's the complete opposite. That was one thing I did
I did not really admire.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Okay, did you get along with the other wives, Like
did they treat you like?

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Like?

Speaker 1 (14:53):
How is that like?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
The family? No? Yeah, the family was very cordial everything,
you know, all the children, my step brothers and sisters
were very close. You know. Well, then there's there's still
something I didn't like in the in the old structure.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Right, okay with us, because guys always act like that's
a not a situation, you know, especially when you grow
up seeing that it's kind of what your conditioned to think.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
So personally with my own kids, I grew up with
my gods up. You know, when my parents passed. I
grew up just on my own. No family, no brother,
no sister, no. So I was like, you know what,
I'm just all alone in this in this world. So
I grew up with my gods up, no one coming

(15:41):
into it, nothing going out. So I'm just like, okay,
I'm I just no what's your name? And the next
few minutes, I can't even remember your name because I
don't really care, you know, because I felt like no
one cared about me. But when I met my wife,
I'm very good in what you show to me. So

(16:02):
what you mirror back to me? I saw someone a
few minutes ago and I smiled at the person. The
person actually locked eye with me, but then smile back.
So I just I just went back in.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
That's New York.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah, So I was like hello, and so I just
went back in.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
So if you come back to me and you were
like smiling, I won't do that. I smiled initially. Boy,
you didn't return it so so so my wife came
with so much love and broke the walls. So all
the love I had inside of me, I just poured
on her.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
I love that. And it's so interesting you say that
because somebody Jasmine always talks to people in New York
and New York people do not talk to you if
they don't know you. And I had to explain that
I've gotten a little better, yeah, because we'll get in
an elevator and she'd be like hello.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
And people would be like, my goodness.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
But I think sometimes they'd be having their earbuds into
they don't. I never see nobody would, let's say good
morning when people get on there. Even my building in DC,
people get.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
On and I have to stop myself, and Jasmine does this, hello,
good morning. I'm like morning, good morning. Yeah. Yeah, But
in New York, like culturally, we don't do they do that.
In Chicago, the people talk to each other, we're pretty friends.
I feel like the Midwest is more like that, too.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
Friendly, and if you act like you're on here, then
we're gonna make sure you're here.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
But okay then, But in New York, you know, we're
taught not to speak to people. If we don't know them,
and not to make eye contact with That's just how
we've been raised since I was young growing up. If
somebody you don't know speaks to you, you do not
respond back. You don't know what their intentions are. You know,
we grew also grow up and living in such close quarters.

(17:54):
You know, you gotta think like it's a crowded place.
There's a lot of buildings, there's a lot of Like
it's a train, it's always like a rush to get on.
It's packed, and you really just have to mind your business.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
It's a different culture with us in Nigiera. So when
you're in a space with someone, it's so disrespectful not
to even say hi, good morning or something, you know,
especially when dependient is older, or you have to hello
good morning, even though I so come with sah and
my good morning, my good morning, sir.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I like that. It's great because it's something that I
learned as I got older and I started traveling and
going other places, even other cities. I had to learn
to like not be in a rush all the time,
you know, and to speak like if I didn't know somebody,
because sometimes it's somebody even just looking at you like
your first thought is what are they looking at when

(18:45):
they could just be like, oh, I like your sneakers
and you're like, wow, I.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Didn't even you know, today I was on the plane today.
I was on a plane and it was a girl
next to me. We're coming from DC, and she touched
my fingers and I said and she said.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
I love your nails.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
And I said, oh okay. It just kind of threw
me all.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
You know.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
She didn't mean anything, but it just I was just like,
keep your hand, I keep my hand.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
But it just was I was just like, oh.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Okay, oh that's not nine year nine year looking Oh
it nearly so beautiful, you know.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
And there's a lot of I mean because like Angela's reasoning,
Angela's reasoning is because of so many people in New
York has a lot of people too, though, right, people.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
But it isn't more spread out though, because New York
is like we're on top of.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Each other, Legos, we're actually leaving with each other, okay,
the same I was. I was stating my wife, like,
like Times Square gives me the Legos feel all.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Right, that's a lot of people. Have you been to
the restaurant Legos and Times Square.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
I don't think I have.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh you got to go there. Here, we have a
restaurant called Legs.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
You got to really Yeah, I like it, but I
would I mean, you know.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Yeah, I want to hear what you have to say
about the.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Why why why why did they call it Legos.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Because it's an Afro Caribbean restaurant. Oh yeah, so I
know the guys involved there. I think they're Nigerian old.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
That mean is the food to be very nice? Yeah,
if you.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Want to go, let me know it.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
You know what I'm saying, It's not right. We just
know how to represent very well. Okay, I'm sure my
wife has a different opinion.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
So how does you break down your walls? Because you
have to also be open to that. But like, what
are some of the things that were different for you? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:31):
So practically there are times when she was just all
out for me. Yeah, like when I when I say
I need this water, She's gone like two miles to
get the food. The food cut on for me.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Then it got to your point that I was like,
what do you want? Right? I asked her, So what
do you want? I hope you're doing all this for anything,
because the my guards were so op that I didn't
even want anybody. When you do anything good for me,
I feel like you want something, you want something. It's
a trick. This person is pranking me, this thing is

(21:15):
this thing is not real, you know. So at the
point I was like, what do you want? I can't
give you anything. So but she was like, just relax,
I'm just being friendly, you know what. I didn't take
that to be just being friendly. I was like, no, no,
there's more to this, there's more to this. But time
went by, the the nature was consistent, she was consistent,

(21:38):
and then I didn't even know I had so much
love inside of me.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
I was just waiting to come out. It was like
a damn waiting to burst open. What a description for real,
because you got to think, like for you to have
kind of raised, you know, yourself at a certain point
and then also having your guards up and never having
been able to like safe enough, that's like the wars
come down and everything's ready to you know.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
So I was very safe and I felt.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
Loved, felt safe, and you felt loved.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
So and I just bought everything and I saw that
there was this mutual respect, regard, love for one of it.
It wasn't one sided, you know, I saw the transformation
on both sides.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
And how has it changed your life? Like as far
as even your.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Music since I met her, my my my sound, not
just the sound, my lyrics changed. There's something inside of
me that I can I cannot write anything outside God's love.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Depended on God.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh my goodness, there's there's I see God's love literally
through her.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
So and that's that. That's what I shapened, my my
file of music, my lyrics and everything.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
You feel like God sent her to Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
No, definitely, I told her so. Twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen.
I was I was praying, and I was like, God,
I need a change of level. I need to change
your status and everything. So it was like I needed
to get married.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
That's what you have God tell you.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, said I need. I need you to get married.
I need I need to position you, I need to
make you focus. I was like, no, no, no, no, no no,
I'm not ready for marriage yet. Give me the money,
give me everything I need. Don't worry, I'll get married
because when I converse with the Holy Spirit with God,
it's like I'm talking to my friend because that's who
I've fullays spoken to anyways, you know. So I was

(23:40):
like I needed to get I said, no, I'm not
ready for that. So twenty seventeen I had I was
in a relationship, so I was like, you know what,
I'm going to get married to twenty seventeen. So I
go back from I was on the voice like during
South Africa. So I was like, you know what, let
me just get married. I wrote down the list of
things we're going to do. We have this traditional marriage
in nine year than the white wedding. You know that

(24:02):
that's a church wedding. I'm like, okay. So I least
aid everything to this time. I was like, okay, I'm
ready to get married now. So something happened. I could
not continue with the person with that person, and that
was where my wife came in.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
So I was like, you know what. See, I was
ready to get married, but this person is not. So
I think let's just move on. Give me what I
need I've been asking, then don't worry, I'll get married.
So he kept on and I told my wife, I said,
this is what God is staying at me. I don't
think I'm ready yet for it. Personally, I don't think
I was ready yet for it because I needed some
things to be sett but then I just took the boostep.

(24:39):
So twenty twenty, we'll got married and just in a
few months it was a three sixty degree three sixty
don a round with who you? Yeah? With me?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
How did you?

Speaker 3 (24:52):
What happened that? Where you do? Like, okay, I'm supposed
to be marrying her?

Speaker 2 (24:55):
What happened? Okay? So I told her this. After we
got married. I was like, there were there were nodges
that she was the one, but I refused. I can
be very very adamal. I was like, no, I'm not
moving on because I don't think she was the one.

(25:16):
We're close friends already, we had businesses together that we run,
but there was no much of a romantic relationship between us.
But then it grew.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
How did the businesses party even happen? Right? She came back?

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, so she came back and like I said, when
I sell my dreams to her, she runs as fast
as she could and I tell her jump you tell
me how I you know? So I saw it. I
was like, I have the passion to raise young people.
I just want to have like a talent show and
everything it's like okay, so where do we start. Let's

(25:55):
get propose us out. We went from one office to
the other in Nigeria submitting proposing us. She has two
masters studied business administration in Middlesex and she left that
and she was like okay, let's let's let's move on.
And then she has the K train company as well.

(26:17):
I was also interested in the catrain company, like we
need to make this company bigger. So went on social media,
went from went to different banks submitting proposers. Let's handle
let's manage your canteens and all the big companies in Nigeria.
So she saw that I was interested in our business
in her life in a career, she was interested in mine.

(26:39):
What more can I ask for?

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Right? I saw you were talking about also how being
an artist is hard for people to get the finances
and the mentorship that they need in order to faster
that creativity and to really be able to promote themselves
and put their music out there. So is that how
you were able to get the finances because you said
it's expensive.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
So it's quite expensive to get a promotion, gets the
right people to listen to your song and everything, but
no one, no one wants to listen to a song
that is not doing well, you know. Yeah, so the
first concert I did, I didn't have the personal phones
to do it. You know, my wife gave me three
months of O O income three months but everything, Go

(27:21):
ahead and do the concept someone that believes in I
tell you.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
She invested in you.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
She invested And that's a rare thing. I feel like,
I don't know, like.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, and this is the very first time I'm saying
this on on air. This is the very first time
I'm saying it. She invested in me three months of
that of our income. No one will do that everything
not like she kept some.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Because I feel like women always talk about what men
need to bring to the table.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
You know, Are you sure it's not the other way around?
When men ask women what they bring to the table.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
What men do ask also what we bring? What you
bring the table? Financially, Yeah, I think we think about
what they bring.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
To Yeah, financially I think women will be like, well,
if he doesn't have this, he doesn't take me to
this best around, if he doesn't do this for me,
you know, And that is the truth. And so for
her to be successful, But know that, like she believed
in you so much? How did it move from business
to romantic?

Speaker 2 (28:17):
H It was the very thing line. I can't even
explain it. I just knew we're from here, from here,
we're already here.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Who initiated it?

Speaker 2 (28:28):
I did?

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay? Good?

Speaker 2 (28:35):
She told me she loves me first.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
She said she loved you first. Okay, what did you say?
You just like, okay, So this.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Thank you I don't know how to. I didn't know
how to respond to I love you, so why you
tell me I love you? Thank you so much? So
most times he tells me I love you, I just oh, God,
bless you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (29:00):
Pass out.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
I'm like, no feelings, will I love you?

Speaker 5 (29:05):
God bless you like you know, I told him I
love you when he said, God.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Bless you, God bless me.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
So much, forehead and send me on.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
The moment I started saying, But the moment I started
telling her I love her, she got tired of it.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
You tell oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Oh my goodness. The moment we did we had a
traditional wedding. I don't know what you guys call it
traditional wedding. So the moment we had a traditional wedding,
it was I love you from from you know, I
send that text messages every morning, every morning. Every morning.

(29:49):
You skep the day now, so any day it comes late,
she's like, hm, what's happening. What's happening is not doing
anything wrong? You know?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
You know, did you cry at your wedding?

Speaker 2 (30:05):
No? I didn't. You did basically Okay, Well my heart.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Cried on the inside.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, you wrote your own vows and everything.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, that morning I sent her a message, very long
message and the vow and everything. She's very emotional. That's
why I'm glad she's not here now talking about all
this here.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
That's right. My man, my man, my man, my man.
So listen. I know, because you were the music director
at the church, I'm sure the ladies loved you there too.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh. I was praying you wouldn't touch on that topic.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
So what was that like for you?

Speaker 2 (30:52):
You know, I really don't see anybody, Like I said earlier, I'm.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Like before marriage, because like you said, you know, your
guards were up, and there has to be women who
did not have good intentions. Who were you know, trying to.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
I feel like every no one had good intentions. So
I just that to just do the music thing and
and and move on.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
What about business wise, as far as you know, anybody
like wanting to do business with you, talking to you
about your music, taking it to the next level. How
are you with business? You know your guards were up emotionally,
but when it came to business where your.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
It was just business for me, let's do business.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
But did you trust people for business too? Because sometimes
you don't believe anything anybody is telling you. And that's
that's a hard thing.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
I'm always I'm always looking looking at looking for loopholes.
I'm always looking at okay, always double checking because I
don't trust. I'd never trust anyone completely. I'd never trust
anyone completely until my wife, not.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Even your family members even to this day.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
But do you trust anybody else outside or your wife
to this day completely?

Speaker 2 (32:01):
She she's changed me completely. So the truth is I
love people genuinely right now. The extent to which I'll
go for people sometimes it's even shocking to me, you know,
So I love people completely. I trust people now. So
it's it's it's it's a complete mind mind shift.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, it's not fun to go through life not trusting anyone. Yeah, honestly, Yeah,
it's really not like it's not People could say that,
but that's not a yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
I think for me it was it was a littally
extreme I guess because of my upbringing and everything, the
incidents that happened while I was growing up, So it
just actually placed me in a very dark place. So
I guess that that was that was wife for me.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
I love the fact that, like, we've never had anybody
come on here and talk like this about their wife.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Yes, going to make this last because this is only
with three years. How are you going to make this,
you know, last, for last forever?

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Making it last forever is not in my hands. It's
not in my hands. Yeah. And the moment, the moment
we put God at the center of everything, you won't
even have the mind to hurt the other person. That's

(33:29):
the truth, because she got at the center of it.
And every time we pray that led the peace of
God reain in our home. Let the love of God
read in her home, because beyond the love you have
for her. There are times when there was a time
when I traveled somewhere I won't mention the name of it.
She didn't go with me. It was a local gig,
so she went with me. She didn't go with me,

(33:50):
and I got to the hotel and this is the
first time I'm also saying this on Earth. Then this
lady from the reception, I was like, I was wondering
why the lady from the reception, like the desk, the
front desk, will want to take my box to the room,
like because you have the concerge and everything, so when
they should they should do that. So my band my

(34:13):
band members didn't see what was going on. So they
had another apartment for them and everything. So the lady
walked on says, please let me can I like, let
me help you with your bags and everything. I was like, okay,
So she moved up there was like, are you sure
you okay? Said I'm good. I'm fine with a bag.
Just show me the room. So she got to the room.
It's it's it's a two rooms. It sweet. So she

(34:38):
got she opened the first door. I was behind her,
so I was supposed to close the door behind me.
Not so she came back to the door and shut
the door. Do you understand, Yes, we understand. So she
came back and shut the door more than understand. So
at that point I knew something was wrong. Then she

(34:59):
moved on to the next to the main room like okay,
so this is your room and everything. Then she walked
up to me like do you need anything, and so
at that point I was already dialing in my wife's
number the video call, so that's how I said nothing. Oh,
thank you so much, sister, thank you, thank you, my sister,

(35:21):
thank you. I was already dialing her number on video call.
I said, oh baby, this is what's going on and
all that. So the moment the lady out left, the
believe was not like, oh, I was just joking.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Left then she left.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
So the moment I was going to order I needed food.
I was hungry. My wife was on video call all through,
so no one come and tell me nothing. There see,
the same incident happened somewhere else again where the lady
was like, okay, let me take it to your room.
And with the ring and everything, there's still that's when

(35:59):
they even want.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
To right because I know you can't say.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Nothing, yeah, you can keep sound like to me, so
we go to delay was like, let me take it
to and the moment she got to the door, she
was like ah so signing, kissed like I think this
would be my last street for the year, and my
wife and died. We need to and and the moment
I started talking about my wife and that she was
at the door, and I was like, oh, my wife,

(36:22):
and that we need to take a trip to uh,
she was already caught out of it. And that was
when I doubt. So every time I traveled without her
local local gigs, I'm always on video calls. I'm always
on video call. So we sleep and next morning, so
I just plugged the phone to the so it doesn't
go so you can follow sleep and that's it.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, whatever works, listen.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
Okay, So no relationship is smooth with no arguments, right,
So what are your arguments like and how do you
guys deal with that? Because I always feel like in
order to be successful in a relationship, you have to
know how to argue productively with each other.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
So the truth is, we've never had a major argument
for the past three years. We've been friends for five
years now, five or six years and whatever, I had
a major argument. But the thing is, we were friends
before marriage, so we knew what each other likes and

(37:21):
what you know, there was a time, there was a
time she was in the room somewhere before we got married,
and she was just on the phone and I walked
into the room. Then she she closed the phone, and
then I was like, oh, please don't do that again.

(37:44):
For me, it felt to me like you were hiding something,
and that's like a big red flag for me. Please
don't do that again. And to her, she was trying
to respect me. You know, when someone wants to talk
to you, itse okay. Well you know that was what
she was trying to do. But I do understand that
because of previous relationship limited issues. Yeah, thank you, So

(38:08):
I trust issues already. So I was like, please don't
do that again. So there are things that we already
spoke about even before marriage. That doesn't mean when we
don't argue, but they are no major argument. We've not
we've not we've not had any major argument. So it's
always been just some flimsy talks here and in a
few minutes where the.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Yeah, because I know me, like if I'm annoyed, I
just need to not talk to you for a little while,
like I need a little bit of time to be
like let me just calm down. I want to I
don't want to talk to you in the middle of
an argument, Like while it's happening. I need to wait
a couple of hours before so everybody can be calm,
so I don't say anything. I regret. I won't say much.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Prior to this time. I don't like talking about issues,
so I just keep it to myself. And when you
offend me, when I'm angry, I don't talk about it.
So just keep it to myself. I just bought a
little but I'm angry. But it shows in my disposition
and everything that this guy is not feeling. So but
when she came in, she oh, every time, she's like,

(39:11):
please talk. Did I do anything wrong? Please talk? So
it got it. There was a time in the morning,
my breakfast was already at ten. That was the first
time I steady're talking. So I told her, you see,
you asked me to be talking. Though you asked me
to be talking now breakfast is already at ten, you know.
She was like, No, that's not what I'm telling you

(39:32):
to those are not that's that's not the kind of
thing I'm asking you to talk about. Talking about serio
things that you're angry about or you know. But since
ever since, there's been nothing happening that we don't talk about.
But she she always wants to talk about everything. You
in the middle of an argument, you want to just
keep to yourself and just keep quiet.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
And I need a moment. I talk about it later.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Oh my goodness, moment she want.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
To talk about now.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
She wants to talk about it now. But I've never
had a major argument. It's been like lead to things
that a few minutes. We don't forget that way we're
angry with each other, Like, but what about that I forgot?
I was angry, you know, right, and that has been it?

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, it's good. Yeah, listen, how you are you? Teller?
I'm like her, I gotta get straight to it. I
don't want to wait.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
Ain't no common damn. My partner is the opposite. He's
very non confrontational. So he's just gonna be like, okay
right now, so he don't even.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
I would like that, but no, because really he's just
shutting me up. Yeah that's like saying sorry, but you're
not really sorry.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
That's me. Yeah, that's me, that's me, that's me. You
know what, You're right? Sorry, Yeah I'm wrong.

Speaker 5 (40:47):
Would you would you want somebody that what would you
like his responses to be?

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Like? I would like for him to take me in
what I'm saying, think about it, and then respond.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Conversation, because that's gonna be That's when you gotta be like, So,
what exactly are you sorry for?

Speaker 2 (41:02):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (41:04):
You gotta grew up a letter telling me why you're
sorry and make sure you can't you deliver it and.

Speaker 3 (41:12):

Speaker 2 (41:13):

rest of your life, it would be chicken. Like fried
chicken for sure, probably.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Everything everything everything.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
So you're one of those being.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Like, yeah, so anyway in the world three years now
and last year I think when when in the UK

Speaker 3 (46:57):
So, what did you guys do last here?

Speaker 1 (47:00):
What was it?

Speaker 2 (47:03):
Some friends? What will happened? Yeah, we had we had
what they call it, we had everything planned out, took
her out somewhere, then the whole then took her to
London Bridge. I had the whole music team, everything was there.
You know. She was very shocked.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
She man, she's your manager, also manager, Okay, so what's
the rest of the team like and how like how
is it working with you guys?

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Yes, so we have it's a full team. It's a
whole team, the administray, the what they call it, the lawyers,
the everything. But she's always on my case because I
don't I don't really listen to anybody and I don't
just wear anything. So she's really like, so this starts

(47:53):
to come and like, oh, this is what you're to
wear and everything. I'm not wearing that. Wow. So then
she she comes with the same outfit like maybe this
outfit looks so good on you, my love, I think
you should try it. I don't even know the time.
I just stay. Then I'm like, okay, I'm wearing it.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
I do like you say that so she can come
in and do that.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
No, No, I'm not that dramatic.

Speaker 3 (48:22):
You really feel dramatic.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
But then I see myself wearing the same outfit that
I rejected earlier. Okay, I love it. I love you know.
So she's by Manag. Josh is my stylist. She's everything.
You know.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
One of things financially really start to work for you?
Was it after the voice was that kind of or
was it before that?

Speaker 2 (48:47):
After our marriage?

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Okay? After marriage?

Speaker 2 (48:49):
That's twenty twenty. Okay, yeah, after I marriage, everything turn.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Everything turned. And so what are some of the first
things you did financially and were you good with money
before that? Like did you know what you needed to do,
what you needed to handle?

Speaker 2 (49:03):
I wanted to talk. I'm not very good with money.
If if, if, if I have ten million, if I
have one million. Now I'll call my friends and I'm like, so, yeah,
you told me about the shoe, like, oh, I think
let's get it five hundred thousand, let's get it. Then
this isn't one. Are you eating? Are you sure you're okay?
You're good? Okay, I'm just send me account details. I'm

(49:25):
sending you to that right away. So before you know
what was happening. I've blown one million in three days,
right and not sending up spinning up?

Speaker 4 (49:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Nothing, so but then she knows how to manage everything.
So I don't even know how much I have. I
don't know how much we have. I want, I need
something like, babe, I need this, I need this stuff,
Just get it for me. So I don't. I don't
handle feelings. She does.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Oh my god. What she was like, I need a break.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Everything before you know, there was a time. There's a
time she said that. I was like, you know what, babe,
I think we should reverse this role. You handle the
finance so you can see what it's like like, So
what have I done a friend? You didn't say anything wrong,
so you've been just fine. And I'm like, okay, you
know what, let me handle the finans, send everything to me.

(50:19):
She's like, no way, no way. I was only joking.
She knows if I handle the finance.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
For one weeks, know that about yourself.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
But that's not it's not my fault. I just like
to buy things.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
It's not my fault.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
It's not my fault. If I had the money everything
in my account one day, I would just buy everything
from you, buy everything. I think she would love her
for her you know, I won't say I won't say
this one now, but there's a surprise for her back
home for the anniversary. Okay, just hearing divorce, she does

(51:00):
know what it is.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
It feels like it's a property. I don't know. How
does her family like you? And what was that like
meeting her family?

Speaker 2 (51:08):
Oh? Her mom doesn't even call me my name, She
calls me bib. Oh that's that's our close that's our clues.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
So you have like a whole like, this is your
whole family. It's not even just her that you're married to.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
That's it. It's not just her. So her siblings, her mind.
They call me anytime they want to, you know, when
they need something, they don't even go to her.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Do you feel like you're closer to her family than
your own?

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (51:37):
Wow, so that was a whole thing. Did you feel
like you were loved growing up?

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Yeah? So the truth is I was loved growing up,
but when I lost both parents, it crushed, right. Do
you understand?

Speaker 1 (51:55):
Yeah, I can't even imagine what that we feel.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
Like, Yeah, it does. It's just crazy.

Speaker 5 (52:02):
But look, you have a wife and you have a
new Will you have an extended family?

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:08):
I saw you said you wanted to have like billions
of kids.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
No way, no way. You know she loves the whole family,
the whole crowd. No children, just crying everywhere and all
that crying. No, no, no for me, I just want
just two children too, too. I'm okay, okay, like a lot.

(52:32):
Well she's not greed yet, so so that's that's the argument.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
Okay, Well that'll be what you're You're a scorpio, right,

This is the first time I act here something not to.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Let me google. Let me tell you about scorpion man.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Hold time.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
Let me tell you about scorpion man, and tell me
if this is true about you? Okay, okay, scorpio man.
Everything you need to know about a scorpio man, all right?

Speaker 3 (53:35):
Deep dive?

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Yeah, let me do a deep dive.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
For youth beautiful about says.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Scorpios make life and sex feel incredible. But as it
goes with any sign, there are some things you may
want to keep an eye out for. Okay. So your
key words are intense, passionate, emotional, secretive, sexual, sensual, deep, vengeful, guarded, loyal,
and scare scary. All right, so let's talk about some

(54:02):
of those words. Intense. I could see that.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
What are you what?

Speaker 2 (54:06):
What?

Speaker 3 (54:07):
What words describe you?

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Yeah? You guarded?

Speaker 2 (54:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (54:11):
Sure about that? Okay, so that was in the past.
Are you secretive?

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Not anymore?

Speaker 3 (54:17):
Lloyd was loyal, that Loyer was on there.

Speaker 2 (54:20):
I used to be very very secretive.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Okay, yea very okay.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
I'm looking at some famous scorpio men, some of them
not going that.

Speaker 5 (54:28):
Who are some of some famous scorpios drake?

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (54:35):
Okay, did he.

Speaker 2 (54:44):
Scorn?

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Okay? Scorpio has a bit of a bad reputation. But
there's a calm down. But there is a lot to
love about a Scorpio man. He might seem guarded at first,
but once you earn his trust, just your whole different size. See,
well he's in. He is all in. He's loyal, passionate, creative,

(55:07):
and surprisingly romantic, Candles, rose petals, the whole deal. His
powerful intuition means that he can always sense when you're
in a bad mood and knows just what to do
to cheer you up. In fact, he's got quite a
memory for all your favorite things, and if someone wrongs you,
he'll always have your back and he'll help you get
back at them too.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
You see, you want to hear.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
The worst traits?

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Think good?

Speaker 1 (55:30):
Do you want to hear your worst traits?

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Why didn't you read that first?

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Can you say jealous? Are you jealous?

Speaker 2 (55:37):
When it comes to my wife?

Speaker 1 (55:39):
Scorpios are notoriously grudge holding. Do you hold grudges?

Speaker 2 (55:44):
The next one?

Speaker 1 (55:48):
And they tend to have a little bit of a
possessive streak. And despite those singers, Scorpios are one of
the most sensitive zodiac signs on the inside. Plus, Scorpios
can get a little bit obsessive and paranoid about things.
Add this all together and you get a date, who
might start monitoring which photos you're liking on Instagram, trying
to sneak a peek at your text messages. Oh, you

(56:10):
just put that away when I walked in the room.
You get the picture. If you get in a fight,
Scorpio will bring up resentments from ages ago they've been
holding on to all this time. Oh and if you
do break up, yeah, you'll probably never hear from him again.
Scorpios do not do second chances.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Is that your so thank god? Thank god. Some of.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
Those things were true though, like guarded until you get
in there and then they're all in and you're all in.

Speaker 2 (56:42):
So you see, the Scorpio sign is one of the best, and.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
That's not what it is. But I will say a
liber woman is amazing, you know, shout out to all
the libra. I'm not a liber but I do like
almost amazing.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
Yeah, I feel like levers are a little dramatic to
the levers in my life are dramatic.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
Gonna be very dramatic.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Well, I'm a virgo. I just thought I would love best.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
I'm things about virgos.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
I think it's scary too.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Yeah, he's just saying that you don't want to be
the only one great.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
It can actually be very scary. Really, Yeah, you have
a you most time, she doesn't even know what you're thinking.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
You see, that's not me. She will tell you what
she's thinking of everything. And I'm always right for the
most part, for the most part.

Speaker 4 (57:42):
And we got the biggest population. There's no other virgos.
It's more Virgos than any others of the XI.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
Yes, I'm going on tour next year.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
How do you feel with the new album out?

Speaker 2 (58:24):
I'm so excited relieved because it's it's it was a
very very huge intense walk, you know, six weeks of
not going out everything just looked up and just writing songs.

Speaker 1 (58:41):
Oh wow, what made you decide to do it like that? Like,
because sometimes people will you know, have songs that they've
been working on for a while, go out, come back
to it. They went and locked in for six weeks.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Yeah, so I just needed to shut everything out and
just take it from within, you know, with the noise
and everything. So I used to live in we used
to live in a bab Is like the federal capital
of Niger. But it's quite slow there. Everybody is just
a reserved you know, everything is just moving slow. But
Legos is the first one, like New York. So I

(59:15):
was like, you know, for this album, it's an afro
beat album. So I need like the first place. I
need the people. I need to see things. I need
to know what's going on. I need the first life.
Let me see what people are going on going through.
They will move to Legos for six weeks.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
Oh wow, Yeah, so.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
I just went out so a few things, you know,
and I went back in six weeks or locked in.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
You think you would move to Legos?

Speaker 2 (59:42):
No, no, no, no, My wife doesn't like Legos. Okay, she
wants the slower No, she wants the Lego New York is.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
Where's the slow one in the US? Where's the like
the slow everything is just moving.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
Well, if you're talking about it, people moved in New York.
Like it still can be a little fast in New Jersey,
not as fast in New York. Yeah, it depends about part.
You can go to parts of New Jersey where it's
like very you're not going to see anybody unless you
choose to go out and so yeah, there's definitely and
then like I think if you go further out like
Long Island, there's different parts you know, on the outskirts.

(01:00:21):
But if you're in New York City, if you're in Manhattan,
if you're in Brooklyn, it's lit. It's little here. Like
So the tour starting next.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Year, the toy starting next year, we're doing about eating countries.

Speaker 1 (01:00:35):
Oh wow, yeah, so that's intense.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
The album is, it's in songs Blessings start to Finish,
ghost Love start to finish, you know, so that's always
shared with the world next year.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
It's a very positive, uplifting album too. By the way,
it's like love it makes you feel like anything is possible.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
I didn't when I was listening to it.

Speaker 5 (01:00:59):
I was like, oh, it is give me gospel gives
me like you know, aroar.

Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
What's the gospel? Gospel is good news.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
It does feel good. So, yeah, the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Gospel is good news. God's love and and and and
that's what I've been able to bring together in the album.
God's Love everyone. At every point in your life you've
experienced cost love. That we're living his cost message and
his love. So it's not out of place for you
to listen to it that God loves you, you know,

(01:01:30):
and He's shown you so much. And for some some
other songs that like declae what you want this year,
blessed morning, everything that we wanting money interesting for you
want good things, you know, declaring what you want. It's
in the scriptures, It's in the Bible, you know. So
we're just bringing everything together, sharing the good news.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
And I said, think it was bad to manifest that
you want money, you know what I mean. I don't
know why because people make it seem like evil. Yeah,
like money is the root of all evil, you know.
People say that.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
And it's not money. According to the Bible, that's the
root of all evil. The love. It's not the root
of all evil.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I agree. The people want money, the love the love
of money.

Speaker 3 (01:02:18):
What's your what's your favorite scripture.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
For God to love the world that it gave us
only begotten the son, that whosoever believe it her name,
shall not perish, but have ever last their life.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Amen.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
Amen.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
And on that now, Jasmine, Uh.

Say Jesus, web.

Speaker 1 (01:02:48):

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Jesus. That's that's good.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
But see, like we do appreciate you so much for
coming here and being so open and telling us things
that you've never publicly said before in a setting like this.
You know, and I know your wife. We try to
get her to come and sit down, but.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
She was like, I'm straight, I'm going to show you'll
be closing this y now issue was here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):

And she can teach us some things.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
She's in the hotel room. The guy will come bring
the bags up from the front desk. She got her FaceTime.
Because now that we know scorpios are jealous. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
The truth is when you trust them, whoever you're with,
I think jealous it does.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
It's the best feeling in the world when you know
like that you trust somebody and even if you're not there,
you know they represent.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Fee that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 2 (01:03:57):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
That's beautiful. That is that's all you can ask.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
I feel that. I don't feel.

Speaker 4 (01:04:06):
It's a good feeling, like a little jealousy too. You
like it, I'll do a little bit.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
I kind of like it a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
I like used to be just like crazy and then
you said crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:04:16):
No, I don't like crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:04:17):

how a guy Okay, say, for example, a guy run
out and get your name tattooed the next day, most
women to be like, oh, he's crazy me I would
that would impress me.

all I want.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
If she really wanted to do it, if she really
wanted to, there's a way she about it. I would
end up doing it without I've done it.
