Ling & Lamb: Viral Love, Intercultural Marriage, Nigerian Pride & American Slang | One54


Listen Later

Ling & Lamb—viral creators with 8.5M+ followers and 3B+ views—join Akbar and Godfrey for a laugh-out-loud, culture-rich episode of One54.

From palm wine and “chin-chin” debates to Lagos traffic and pronunciation games (“burger,” “squirrel,” Yoruba tones), the couple unpacks life as an intercultural family—blending Nigerian pride, American slang, and the everyday comedy that made them internet favorites.

Lamb shares his journey from music to mission: staging full-scale concerts inside Nigerian prisons (a Johnny Cash–style twist) and helping free 135 non-violent inmates—then bringing that advocacy stateside. Ling opens up about learning Nigerian cuisine (egusi, okra, pounded yam), the infamous “cheesy chin-chin,” and how mac & cheese finally won Lamb over.

Together they keep it real about communication, tone, and volume in marriage—and how humor, patience, and faith turn culture clashes into connection. They also reveal the heart behind their new book, Beautiful Foolishness—a playful, practical look at love with space to journal after each chapter—and the gritty first years: moving into Ling’s childhood bedroom, Lamb volunteering at the YMCA, landing the Lowe’s job, and building a salon and a brand from scratch.

From Yoruba vs. Igbo identity to “green card” stereotypes, OnlyFans/police pranks, pet-peeves, credit cards (“cash and carry” vs. U.S. credit), and why timing kids is up to God—this one has humor, heart, and real talk.
