Dear @davido ,
Talent deserves respect, regardless of where it comes from. Coming from a wealthy background is a privilege, not proof of superiority. Many artists fought through poverty, rejection, and impossible odds just to be heard, and that struggle doesn't make them less deserving of dignity.
Hip-hop and Afrobeats were built on stories from every class of society. The son of a billionaire and the child of a roadside trader can stand on the same stage because music is the great equalizer. What separates legends isn't the size of their family account, but their character, humility, and how they treat fellow creators.
Healthy competition grows the culture; public ridicule weakens it. Your influence is enormous, and every word you speak carries weight with millions. Imagine using that influence to uplift rather than belittle.
Respect costs nothing. Greatness is louder when it is humble.
Me,
With the book vs. The Book.
โTokyo Spiesโ by @onyekanwelue
This one na interesting story wey blend art, love, family, and the struggle wey person fit face when life put am for difficult position. Zenjiro Itoโs journey from Japan to China make the story dey feel like journey of fear, escape, and self-discovery. Wetin I like pass na how Nwelue show human weakness without making the character look completely hopeless. The writing get quiet, reflective moments, but e still carry suspense. Some parts fit move slowly, but overall, na thoughtful book wey dey make you think about courage, identity, betrayal, and the choices we make when we dey afraid.

โPetโ by Akwaeke Emezi
Akwaeke Emeziโs PET na one of those books wey you go think say e simple, until you really enter the story. I like how Emezi use Jam and Pet to talk about monsters, violence, silence, and the things adults dey hide from children. The idea say monsters no always look scary really stay with me. Sometimes, the real monsters fit dey among us, looking completely normal. I also like how Jamโs courage dey grow as she begins to question the things around her. PET no just be childrenโs story; e dey make you think about justice, innocence, and wetin e mean to believe somebody. Na powerful and unsettling book.

โThe Yacoubian Buildingโ by Alaa @AlaaAswany Al Aswany.
I really enjoy The Yacoubian Building because e make me see how people fit dey live for the same building but still get completely different lives and struggles. As I dey read am, I see how money, class, religion, politics and ambition dey affect the way people behave. Wetin touch me pass na how real the characters feel. Nobody be completely good or completely bad; everybody get him own weakness and desire. Alaa Al Aswany nor hide the corruption, hypocrisy and inequality wey dey inside society. The book dey painful sometimes, but na that honesty make am powerful for me.
