You asked, and they delivered! Leo and Nesu dive right back in, as they reminisce on how they were first introduced to Afrobeats, and the drawbacks that have come with recent linkups between Southern and West African artists on some remixes of already popular songs.
Jumping over to how they’re doing, they open up about recent experiences with getting older, and how friendship dynamics just seem to change without cause. The topic of friendships continue, as they discuss the cracks beginning to show in Lesa and Chanel’s friendship on the sophomore season of the Real Housewives of Dubai.
