I made “Street Affair” in L.A. That was one of the first songs that I made in L.A. It was made shortly after I landed in
L.A. When I made Street Affair,” it was just me reminiscing on recent happenings in my life and personal stuff that I
just put on there. Hoodini had sent me the beat, and I had had it for a while. So, it was one of those sessions where I
just get an engineer and just lock in to reflect on how I’m feeling and put it into the music.

FOLA, Victony
This is such a beautiful love song. The session was mind-blowing, and I really loved it. “golibe” is a way of expressing
love and affection because a popular part of the song, “Ile awada,” means that our home is blessed or fortunate. So, I’m
telling her that she needs to come. It’s just a way of letting her know that she needs to be with me because I really
like her and need her in my life. Victony brought life and emotions to the song. He gave it a new dimension. His verse
is so mind-blowing, and I still can’t get it out of my head because it rings in my head all the time. He went out of his
way for me, and big shout-out to him.

Victony, Tempoe
In 2021, Dapper set up a session with me & Tempoe. It was a camp for an artist called Savage. We made a couple of
records that included “Rosemary,” “Soweto,” and some other songs that never saw the light. At the time, I loved
“Rosemary” more and Tempoe used to tell me that “Soweto” is crazy, but I couldn’t see it. At the end of the day, we gave
Savage “Rosemary,” and Tempoe was going to take “Soweto.” It was supposed to be Tempoe featuring Victony, but people on
my team just loved the record and they told me that the song was crazy. I spoke to Tempoe at the time, and he was like,
“Yo, that’s my song, I can’t give it to you.” This was post-“Holy Father,” and I wanted that to be my follow-up single,
and he told me he can’t give me the record. So, we fought, and we just stopped talking for a while. When I was putting
the Outlaw EP together, I was telling my friend, AV, about the plans, and AV goes, “What about that ‘Soweto’ record?
That has to make your EP.” I was like, “Yeah, the song is dope, but I don’t think Tempoe and I can ever agree.” We
hadn’t spoken in months but AV was like, “Put your pride to the side and ask him for it again because you’re both
sitting on money.” To be honest, at the time, I didn’t really think of the advice as a big deal but I just did it
because AV is someone I trust, he’s a very good friend of mine, and if he tells me something, I’ll listen. That same
night, I reached out to Tempoe and was like, “How are you doing?” Surprisingly, he responded in good spirits and we were
able to make it come to life and I even discussed my EP with him. That’s how the song eventually became released.

Davido, Victony...
Victony, obviously we’re under the same (management). Musa Keys, that’s my man. We have one of my biggest songs
together, Unavailable. You know I’ve been tapping in with South Africa since time, before Amapiano became huge. So
Victony and Musa already had the record so I came as their older brother haha. I was like I love this record. You know
me, when it comes to finishing music, I know how to take it and turn it up a notch. I did my verse, we recorded it in
Lagos around May last year (2024).
