UK doesn’t love their black 🎥 🎬talent until America loves their black 🎥 🎬 talent
I couldn’t book a single job when I was in London. The same videos I showed in London, I showed them in America. Different reaction
I said I’m out. Scrrrrrrrr 💨
Me. Born in Yaba hospital, Lagos. From Grahame Park, NW London. Have directed two Oscar Winners. I don’t even understand what’s going on sometimes. I do this for everyone that’s from where I’m from. More to come
GO GET IT

When I was directing videos in the UK, barely anybody booked me. Other than my own projects as an artist, I directed 4 videos in 4 years 🤦🏾♂️— Preeya Kalidas, Dark Boy, John Galea, & Dappy. That’s it. It’s quite hard being turned down back to back to back…
S/O to everyone stuck in a job they dont wanna be in, just to pay the bills, but thinkin how they wanna take that next step to creative industry or entrepreneurship. Fight the fear. Fight the tiredness. Block out that voice telling u “but”. Use your precious spare time wisely

Talent will only take you so far… If you are amazing at what you do but nobody knows about it, how will the world ever see? Relationships are EVERYTHING. Be a people person, and an asset to someone that can put you in position, and watch doors open up
Creatives, take a step back from your ideas & work. Look at it with no bias or ego. And ask yourself “if I wasn’t me, would I share this?” That will eliminate a lot of your mediocre work
And there’s a lot of mediocrity out there. What are you gonna do to separate yourself?
Just found the email from me to editor in regards to the first edit of Migos Bad & Boujee video (if anyone is interested in the process). STRESS lmao. Things really do take time and are far from perfect straight away
People are gonna get uncomfortable when they see you grow. They’re used to you being in a certain box. Change is scary & greatness is daunting. Gotta fight the urge to cater to their insecurities
If you benefit from black culture — visuals, audio, fashion, sports etc... but don’t have anything to say when black people are mistreated, that’s problematic
P.s your silence is deafening
Entrepreneurs & creatives... surround yourself with positive people that have your best interest at heart. It’s already hard enough fighting through the fear-of-failure, self doubt & “how will the people judge me”... don’t add extra to your plate by keeping council with parasites
You’re gonna lose some of your friends if you wanna be successful. Not everyone is on the same page as you. Nor will you have time for meaningless interactions. Drop the dead weight. Harsh but true
I got the inspiration for Quavo x Nicki Minaj “She For Keeps” video from one of my favorite movies — Pulp Fiction. Missed out on one exterior setup by the pool (Ving Rhames in yellow turtleneck) cuz Miami rain killed it
I don’t get how people laugh at others for simply trying at their dreams. Just trying. That’s like step 1. I think you gotta have serial disbelief in yourself to be like that
When that reality check hits you haha. Listen... just pray for good health & sound mind, & get that grind on. Be patient, consistent with quality, and the rest will take care of itself. When? Who knows. But it’s not gonna be on your clock

making this record as a joke ... well this ain’t nothing to laugh at !

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️God is good and thanks to all of you supporting me ever since m the start .. I appreciate every single one of you ❤️🥰
You ever been so tired that you oversleep, and now you’re tired because you overslept? So you nap cuz you’re tired from oversleeping and now your nap made you tired. Viscous cycle
You‘d be surprised as to how many people get married without discussing things like religious practices or naming children. Baby lands... 1 of you wants to name it Thomas... the other wants Oluwabanjoko
Is everyone deeping how important that ASAP/Skepta song & video is? It might be the most non contrived UK/US rap collab ever. 2 relevant & influential artists that already have respect on both sides of the pond. Definitely a defining moment
You should only be doing projects that benefit you creatively, relationship building, or monetarily. Otherwise you’re just getting taken advantage of
Symbiosis or nada
